Chongzhen Chat Group

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately summoned him for three things. The first thing is that Wu Ergou, who was sent to Liaodong to cheat, came back and handed over the gold he cheated from Huang Taiji.

Emperor Chongzhen was in a good mood. After thinking about it, he said to Liu Xingzuo: "Return five taels of gold to him as a personal reward, and the remaining gold will be used as funds for the expansion of his gang. With the cooperation of Jin Yiwei, let him bring the underground forces of Nanjing into Integrate like a capital city."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Liu Xingzuo naturally didn't say anything.

The second thing is that the assistant minister Zhou Yanru is finally going back to Beijing. Although he brought back a lot of food, he also had a lot of black materials. Liu Xingzuo presented a memorial, the main content of which was collected from the chat group and the local Jinyiwei.

The third thing is that someone impeached Zhu Xieyuan, the Minister of the Ministry of War, the Governor of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Hu, and Guangxi Military Affairs and the Governor of Guizhou, saying that he was not a fake staff member and received hundreds of thousands of military expenses every year, much of which was corrupt. Jin Yiwei also reported the matter for confirmation.

If it were Emperor Chongzhen of years ago, he would definitely be furious, and corruption would be punished. There is no need to say that. But at this time, he has been sitting in the emperor's position for a long time, and he no longer has the temperament that one is one and two is two.

Both of them were important ministers, especially Zhu Xieyuan, who commanded the troops in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty and was still suppressing the Tusi Rebellion. Since the first year of Tianqi, he has put down two large-scale rebellions, which is a great contribution.

Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while and then told Liu Xingzuo: "You will send the Jinyi Guards to the southwest secretly to verify again. In addition, we must investigate and report the current situation in the southwest."

At this time in the late Ming Dynasty, the southwest of the Ming Dynasty was actually in chaos. According to history, although the rebellion was successfully suppressed and did not shake the rule of the Ming Dynasty, the consequences were actually very serious. Not only did it shake the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, but it also made it impossible for the Ming Dynasty to deploy the chieftain troops in the southwest to suppress the initial bandits and deal with the invasion of the Jianlu invaders.

The situation in Liaodong is now expected and is developing for the better. Emperor Chongzhen also had the intention to include the southwest of the Ming Dynasty in his field of vision and was ready to intervene.

As soon as Liu Xingzuo left, Emperor Chongzhen immediately sent a message to Wang Chengen, the admiral of Dongchang, and also told him to send Dongchang's subordinates to secretly go to the southwest to collect local intelligence and Zhu Xieyuan's information. Anyway, thank you to the channel for confirming the news, this is the minimum.

Early the next morning, nearly two thousand Ming cavalry troops suddenly appeared in Jianlu's field of vision again on the land of Liaodong. To Jianlu's surprise, instead of escaping outside the pass in the northwest, they continued to the southwest without any warning. Stop and attack the grain fields along the way.

The Jianlu along the way did not expect it at all. In their opinion, if this Ming army wanted to escape back, the first step was to join forces and flee to the grassland and take a detour back to the Ming Dynasty. This is what the Ming army had done before. Another possibility is that each of them fled back to their respective places, that is, the Guan Ning army fled back to Ningjin, and the Dongjiang cavalry army fled back to Pidao.

Based on this judgment, in these two directions, although Shenyang's decree has not yet been conveyed, many places are already ready to harvest grain or mobilize heavy troops to garrison grain fields.

But they didn't expect that after the two Ming armies were encircled, they would attack all the way to the southwest, where there was sea. With nearly two thousand cavalry troops, the Ming Dynasty didn't have that many warships to support them, right?

It was based on this understanding that Jianlu's reaction was a little slower. Moreover, it took time for the Eight Banners to mobilize cavalry. When they gathered cavalry from various places to catch up, they could only follow from a distance and admire the destroyed grain fields along the way.

On this day, Fuzhou Jianlu Guards General had just received a report from Jianlu from other places, saying that the Ming cavalry was destroying grain fields in Liaodong, and then he received a report that a large number of Ming warships were found in the direction of Changsheng Island. .

The seaside of Fuzhou is Fuzhou Bay, and not far from the coast is the large Changsheng Island. There were Ming troops in the past, but the sea would freeze in winter. After being attacked once by Jianlu, there were basically no Ming troops stationed there. Jianlu did not send troops to garrison because they did not have a navy.

At this time, hearing that a large number of Ming warships appeared suddenly made all the captives in Fuzhou nervous. Their first reaction was that the Ming army was coming to attack Fuzhou. So they immediately sent out messengers to ask for help, and at the same time closed the city gates tightly and prepared to fight.

However, at this moment, they saw a cavalry troop galloping from the inland direction. Under their eyes, they destroyed the grain fields outside the city and then headed towards the seaside.

The general who guarded Jianlu and Fuzhou was furious, but there was nothing he could do. Although he also has soldiers in his hands, most of them are infantry. Moreover, there are very few elite Eight Banners of Manchuria. Most of them are the Eight Banners of the Han Army and some of the Eight Banners of Mongolia. If you just defend the city, that's no problem, but if you go out of the city to fight the Ming cavalry, and there's no telling how many Ming troops will land at sea. Under such circumstances, he still did not dare to risk losing the city in battle.

On the long coastline of Fuzhou Bay, naval fleets docked one after another and began to assist the exhausted cavalry troops to board the ships. After arriving, they first settled in Changsheng Island, and then returned to the rescue. After landing for almost a day, and when there were very few Ming troops on the shore, Fuzhou Jianlu rushed out to try to win the battle.

But they didn't expect that the Ming army who finally boarded the ship had powerful crossbows in their hands, as well as artillery and bows and arrows on some ships. The Jianlu who tried to steal the chickens dropped corpses on the ground and watched helplessly as all the Ming soldiers boarded the ship and sailed away. Looking towards Changsheng Island in the distance.

By the next morning, the main force of the Eight Banners who had been chasing after Xun Sheng finally arrived in Fuzhou. All they could do was admire the masterpieces left by the Ming cavalry in the farmland and look at Fuzhou's efforts in the farmland. Try to save food as much as possible. I went to the seaside and looked out, and I saw the Ming army on the island from a distance, but because there was a strait blocking it, there was nothing I could do.

At noon, the Jianlu on the shore discovered that the Ming navy had set sail again, and they could directly see those boats carrying the Ming cavalry, all the way along the coastline, right under their noses, swaggering towards Ningyuan. Drive in the direction.

"Thank you for sending me, see you soon!" The Ming soldiers on the ship shouted in unison, full of joy, and their voices were loud. Not to mention the Jianlu on the shore, even the Jianlu outside Fuzhou City who were rescuing food could hear it. arrive. But there was nothing they could do. They cursed the Ming army one after another, but they had no momentum at all.

The pursuers of the Eight Banners were worried that these Ming troops would be around again, and would land on other shores to wreak havoc. The Qing Dynasty couldn't bear it anymore, so it sent some troops along the coastline to monitor the Ming fleet as it headed north.

On Changsheng Island, we can still see the Ming army moving around, but we can only look at it like this. Is it possible to swim over?

The final result was reported to Shenyang and quickly sent to the palace and into the hands of Huang Taiji.
