Author: Use your soul to aim

It was already the end of July when Zhang Zongxian received the battle report. Zhang Zongxian believed that such results were deserved. Every soldier was an elite soldier who spent huge sums of money to train.

Not to mention that the recruits are all young soldiers. It is the time when they are full of energy. In order to train them hard, they are provided with meat every day. All the officers are disciples of the Legislative School who have been given history lessons by Zhang Zongxian himself. They are all Huayi.

The loyal believers of Zhibian spend their time training soldiers every day.

What about 996,007 in the previous life? The soldiers of the Legislative Army were all 715. They did not rest throughout the year except for the Spring Festival. They got up from five o'clock in the morning to train. In addition to meal time, they trained until six o'clock in the afternoon. They also had to take an hour of cultural classes in the evening, plus a

A history of China compiled by Zhang Zongxian when he was young.

For example, the elite frontier troops of the Ming Dynasty basically trained once every three to five days, and one exercise every ten and a half days was good. The Qi family army, which had the strictest military management, could train every other day. Even the British lobster soldiers in the previous life had to train once a week.

Six days, don't get me wrong, two days of training in the military camp, four days of physical labor in the officer's manor, and the last week.

With the soldiers trained in this way and equipped with luxurious equipment to deal with a few stinking Tatars, Zhang Zongxian felt that zero casualties would be appropriate.

In addition, although the Tatar raid was blocked by the advance team, the early warning tribes arranged on the periphery did not play their due role. Zhang Zongxian lamented in the second company that people who are not our race must have different hearts.

The tribes that surrendered were given pastures for cattle and sheep, and the annual taxes they paid were half of what they had been before.

As a result, such a large group of people entered the Hetao, and no one from the tribes reported it in advance, and these Tatars obviously went in the direction of the weakest defense. It can be seen that they are not grateful at all.

Immediately, he ordered Liangchenran and the others to move all the surrendered tribes to the grasslands south of the eight newly built forward bases. As for those tribes that did not report the movements of the incoming Tatars in time, they would be dealt with in accordance with the rules of the grasslands.

He also asked good ministers to start preparations for the war to regain Dongshengwei. When news of the appointment came from the capital, he personally launched a war to regain Dongshengwei.

In July of the forty-eighth year of Wanli, Ming Shenzong died. In August, Crown Prince Zhu Changluo came to the throne and became Ming Guangzong. On July 22 and 24, Ming Guangzong paid out one million taels of silver each.

Reward the border guards in Liaodong and other places, remove the mining tax, discuss the tax, withdraw the mining tax envoys, recruit cabinet ministers, operate the center, and "move the government and the opposition".

After Zhang Zongxian learned that Ming Guangzong ascended the throne as scheduled, he began to prepare a memorial to Emperor Tianqi. In the memorial, Zhang Zongxian first stated the various malpractices of the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty, and then proposed to restore the old system of Taizu to rectify Yansui Town, and promised to give soldiers

The land in Hetao allows military households to regain large tracts of land

The land was used to restore the combat power of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Then Dongshengwei was recovered, and then based on Yansui Town, Ningxia and Gansu were reorganized. The two places promised to recover Shazhouwei and Hamiwei's homeland and distribute it to the soldiers participating in the war.

The three guards can be recovered without spending a cent of the imperial court's food and salary.

As for the three guards in Liaodong occupied by Jiannu, Zhang Zongxian suggested implementing a blockade policy against Jiannu and resolutely not letting a grain of food flow into the hands of Jiannu. The weather is getting colder and colder, and the bitter cold land in Liaodong will only be more difficult than in the pass. Jiannu

The slaves relied on plunder to maintain their internal unity. As long as Liaodong took precautions,

If the Jiannu cannot grab anything, they will naturally split and collapse internally. At that time, we will mobilize the people from the three sides of Shaanxi who have been reorganized and go to Liaodong to eliminate the Jiannu. By now, we will be able to rebuild seven guard posts within five years, and then take over

The divine power of Emperor Zhenwu sealed the snow demon in one fell swoop, ensuring peace for the Ming Dynasty for all eternity.

Zhang Zongxian also issued a military order to Tianqi, giving him three months to recapture Hetao and rebuild Dongshengwei.

Attached is the evidence collected that the governor of Yansui Town colluded with the general soldiers to steal and sell military rations and drink the blood of the soldiers.

After writing the memorial, he had it sent to the capital and handed it over to Master Ma, instructing him to hand it over to Eunuch Li after the sixth day of September.

After making these preparations, Zhang Zongxian waited for Tianqi to ascend the throne and appoint him as governor of Yansui.

After the governor of Yansui and the commander-in-chief received the news of Wanli's death, they lamented that God was also helping them. At first, they were worried that Zhang Zongxian was the magistrate of Wanli who had been specially abducted by Wanli. Now that Wanli has passed away, they don't have to worry about the emperor's intervention.

It's over.

It happened to take advantage of the new king's accession to the throne and the chaos in the court to get Zhang Zongxian. I believe the court would not pursue this matter too much.

In order to deal with Zhang Zongxian as soon as possible, Governor Hu urged General Wang to immediately send a messenger to Guihua City to contact King Shunyi.

General Wang secretly scolded the governor for not doing human affairs and letting him do all the collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. He even wanted to kill the governor and take away all of Zhang Zongxian's property.

Just when King Shunyi was afraid of the fighting power of the Legislative Army and wanted to give up the idea of ​​attacking Hetao, a messenger sent by the general army of Yansui Town detoured through Piantou Pass and went out of the border wall to Guihua City.

King Shunyi learned this time that this Han army under the banner of Taiping was actually a rebel army from the Ming Dynasty. The Tatars never understood why this Han army did not use the banner of the Ming army. It turned out to be their rebel army from the Ming Dynasty!

The Tatars felt that there was something wrong with this Han army from the beginning. When the Ming army entered the grassland, they always grabbed a handful and ran away, or they set fire to the grassland. They never occupied a place and held it, let alone reclaimed the land. Otherwise, they would not be able to reclaim the land on the spot.

Will not give up the Loop.

General Yansui sent a message to the Tatars, deliberately describing the good ministers and others as rebels, and planned to make an agreement with the King of Shunyi to send troops together on September 10th, so that they would first cut off the rebels' retreat, and use the rebels' retreat to cut off people's hearts.

In panic, King Shunyi sent troops to attack again.

However, the King of Shunyi did not completely believe the words of the General Soldier's messenger. Even though a Shaanxi businessman doing business in Guihua City vouched for the messenger, the messenger was indeed sent by the General Soldier of Yansui.

These businessmen had a close relationship with the upper and lower levels of Yansui Town, and were about to be bankrupted by the Taiping. After learning that the general wanted to deal with the Taiping, they immediately joined in to provide money and effort.

In the eyes of King Shunyi, the Han people could not be trusted. Why were the rebels so powerful? Five thousand warriors fought against 3,000 Han troops and were almost wiped out. Why did these powerful rebels come to the grasslands to seize territory? Isn't it a good idea to go south?

Therefore, King Shunyi believed that the Han people were not telling the truth, but the Tatars could not obtain the internal information of the Ming Dynasty. The words of those businessmen could not be trusted, so he promised the messenger on the surface that he would send troops on September 10th, but in fact he was preparing to sit down

Watching tigers fight in the mountains.

After the army is assembled, if the Han people in the Hetao are fighting among themselves, then he will send troops to attack the Hetao and drive the Han people back to the border wall.

If the Han people did not start fighting, he would turn his troops to attack the tribes that had surrendered to Lin Dan Khan. After reunifying the remaining ten thousand households in Tumut, he would then come to deal with the Han army in Hetao.

After receiving the report from the messenger, Governor Hu and General Wang believed that their side had a sure chance of victory. The two began to discuss arrangements after retaking Qingshui Camp and Huangpu Chuanbao.

What General Wang wanted was to ask Governor Hu to order Zhang Zongxian to be led to Yulin Town to take action. Governor Hu thought that Zhang Zongxian was not that stupid and would not take the risk, so General Wang should lead the elite army to arrest Zhang Zongxian directly.

Naturally, General Wang was unwilling. He thought that I was old and not that young boy. He wanted me to fight with all my strength after just a few words. Last time, more than 10,000 troops failed to capture that rural earth fort.

Now the house that Zhang Zongxian built in Jiazhou is said to be six stories high. It is impossible to bring 20 to 30 thousand people to attack with cannons. It is not winter at this time, and the Jiazhou government office is very prosperous now, and Zhang Zongxian has no

Really rebellious.

Moreover, it is difficult to explain from the supervisory side. It can be said that the troops sent to the border wall were to defend against the Tatars, and he led the troops to besiege the local officials of the imperial court. He, the commander-in-chief, was the real rebel.

Seeing that General Wang disagreed, Governor Hu came up with a plan and proposed to select dozens of military masters to ambush and assassinate Zhang Zongxian on his way out.

Wang Zongbing also felt that this plan was very good. If it succeeded, Zhang Zongxian's property would naturally belong to them.

Even if they fail, as long as they guard the border wall and prevent Zhang Zongxian's disciples from coming back, then Zhang Zongxian will be a lamb to be slaughtered at their disposal. Unless he wants to rebel and be executed by the Nine Clan.

Moreover, judging from the information obtained by his men, he must have put all his efforts into capturing the Loop. Even the troops originally guarding Changsheng Fort were transferred outside the border wall. It can be seen that Zhang Zongxian did not have much power inside the border wall.

, and the wall has so many people that it can't hide any large army.

We don't know what's going on in the academy where he studied. But at most they can hide a thousand people. What can a thousand people do? Yansui Town can pull out an army of 50,000 at will. Plus other people in Shanxi

Town, rebellion in Shaanxi is a recipe for death.

After the two discussed it, they started their own preparations. Governor Hu began to draft Zhang Zongxian's charges, preparing to report to the court after killing Zhang Zongxian.

On the one hand, Wang Zongbing mobilized the pro-army and the governor's Biao battalion to prepare to capture Huangpu Chuanbao and Qingshui Camp. On the other hand, he began to select good players from the pro-army of the family's children to prepare to assassinate Zhang Zongxian.

At the same time in the capital, Zhu Youxiao, who had been promoted to the eldest son of the emperor. After witnessing his father's ascension to the throne, he was very high-spirited and showed the image of a wise king. He had originally forgotten what Zhang Zongxian had said to him. As a result, his father Zhu Changluo only held a coronation ceremony.

Ten days later, on the tenth day of August in the first year of Taichang (1620), he fell ill. The Wanshou Festival celebrations the next day were also cancelled.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao thought of Zhang Zongxian's words again, but he also kept Zhang Zongxian's instructions in mind, telling him to wait and see what happens without taking any action.

After Zhu Changluo fell ill, Concubine Zheng ordered Cui Wensheng, as the eunuch in charge of the royal pharmacy, to provide the emperor with a "tonglider", namely rhubarb.

Extremely weak and in a state of exhaustion.

On August 28th, Zhu Changluo summoned the British Duke Zhang Weixian, the chief minister of the cabinet Fang Congzhe and 13 other people to the palace. He asked Zhu Youxiao to come out to see them. He had the intention of entrusting an orphan and ordered Cui Wensheng to be expelled from the palace.

On August 29, Li Kezhuo, the Prime Minister of Honglu Temple, said that there was an elixir to be presented to the emperor. The eunuchs did not dare to make the decision and reported the matter to the cabinet minister Fang Congzhe. Fang Congzhe said:

"He calls it an elixir, but he doesn't believe it."

Zhu Changluo knew that his fate was at stake, so he wanted to give it a try and ordered Li Kezhuo to go to the palace to donate medicine. At noon, Li Kezhuo prepared a red pill and asked the emperor to take it. After Zhu Changluo finished taking the red pill,

Feeling fine, I asked the waiter to say:

"After taking the medicine, the body feels warm, moist and comfortable, and makes you want to drink and eat."

In the evening, Zhu Changluo ordered Li Kezhuo to take another red pill. Although the imperial doctors objected, Zhu Changluo insisted on taking another red pill. So Li Kezhuo asked the emperor to take another red pill. As a result, in early September

At the fifth watch of the day, Guangzong Zhu Changluo passed away at the age of thirty-nine.

When Zhu Youxiao learned that his father had passed away, he couldn't restrain his excitement and almost laughed to the sky. Fortunately, Wei Zhongxian was right next to him and reminded him to cry quickly.

While Zhu Youxiao was crying bitterly, he was thinking about whether he should kill Zhang Zongxian first after becoming the emperor. He knew too much about such a monster. But he also thought of the terrifying scene of the snow monster destroying the world and freezing thousands of miles away. Zhu Youxiao thought

Yu Xiao was afraid that Ming's foundation would be ruined in his hands.

In the end, Zhu Youxiao decided to use Zhang Zongxian to deal with the snow demon first. He had heard Zhang Zongxian's intention that day and wanted him to be promoted after Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne. If Zhang Zongxian really had the ability to deal with the snow demon and regain the Sixth Guards, he could do it.

Make him Zhu Youxiao's name as a holy king. Then kill him. After all, he is the True Dragon Emperor. Chengzu will definitely understand his difficulties. The old Zhu family is familiar with the matter of killing heroes.

After Guangzong's death, Li Xuanshi and Youxiao lived in Qianqing Palace. Liu Yibao and the eunuch Wang An deceived Li Xuanshi and helped Zhu Youxiao out of the palace to Wenhua Hall, where they kowtowed with Zhang Weixian and others and supported Zhu Youxiao in Ciqing.

Palace (Prince's residence). Shangshu Zhou Jiamo and other officials asked Li Xuanshi to move out of Qianqing Palace and move to Erluan Palace (the palace where concubines retired) to prevent the Xuanshi from intervening in politics.

The chief assistant Fang Congzhe hesitated and hesitated, while the censor Zuo Guangdou Shangshu directly reprimanded Li Xuanshi and said, "Empress Wu's disaster will be seen today."

Li Xuanshi was furious and summoned Zuo Guangdou, but Zuo Guangdou refused to attend. During the incident, Yang Lian urged Fang Congzhe to agree to move the palace, and sternly protested:

"Choose the name of serving the Yang to protect you, and the fact that you are specialized in the Yin plan, the palace must not move."

Liu Yibao, Zhou Jiamo and others helped him, and Li Xuanshi was forced to move to the palace.

On September 6, the prince returned from school to Qianqing Palace and ascended the throne. The reign name after August of that year was changed to Taichang and the following year to Tianqi.

As for Zhang Zongxian in Jiazhou, it took five days to receive news from the capital. This was still an expedited channel that cost a lot of money to use a post station 800 miles away.

After receiving the news that Zhu Changluo was seriously ill on August 15, the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhang Zongxian was completely relieved. History has not changed because Liaodong did not fall. Now he is waiting for Tianqi to read his memorial.

However, the dead soldiers selected by General Yansui also came to Jiazhou. They disguised themselves as ordinary people who came to Jiazhou to find work, and prepared to attack Zhang Zongxian.

At this time, caravans gathered in Jiazhou, and merchants from the north and south kept coming and going. People from nearby counties also came to Jiazhou in droves to find work, so the investigation department was not like in Qingjian County, where it could keep track of every outsider.

information, only focused monitoring can be adopted.

These dead soldiers have all been fed with money by the commander-in-chief, and they all came with the belief that they would die. Fortunately, Zhang Zongxian didn't like to go out on weekdays. He was always teaching the new batch of accelerated officer classes in the academy. So he didn't have to

Find opportunities.

Until they learned that Zhang Zongxian was going to inspect the Yellow River Bridge that was about to be completed.
