Queen Yi'an Zhang Yan

In the imperial edict, the court mentioned that Zhang Zhun was plotted by the Wenxiang Sect and made the matter public, which obviously wanted Zhang Zhun to give up on the Wenxiang Sect, or to give up on the Wenxiang Sect. With this matter, if Zhang Zhun did not seek revenge on the Wenxiang Sect, he would be said to be corrupt and would not be reborn if he was bullied, and he would not be able to make any sense.

For the Wenxiang Sect, this edict was even more poisonous. The Wenxiang Sect had plotted against Zhang Zhun before. If they fell into Zhang Zhun's hands, what good fruit would there be? At the same time, the edict clearly required Zhang Zhun to wipe out the Wenxiang Sect, and it was particularly important to hand over the heads of Wang Yilun and Xu Qingluan. It is conceivable how the two of them would react after seeing this edict.

The difference between an edict and an edict is that the edict is issued to a certain person or a few people, and the content may involve confidentiality and others do not know it. However, the edict is announced to the world. In addition to being issued to Zhang Zhun, the edict will also be issued to various provinces, prefectures, prefectures, and county government offices, and posted publicly. As long as the person who recognizes the word, he can see clearly the content of the edict. In other words, everyone in the world may know it.

In this way, the relationship between Zhang Zhun and the Winter Scent Sect was in a completely opposite state. As the commander-in-chief in Dengzhou and Laizhou military affairs, Zhang Zhun certainly could not allow the Winter Sect to exist independently in Dengzhou Prefecture. Therefore, it is imperative to crack down on the Winter Sect, differentiate, disintegrate, and surrender.

After the battle in Huangxian, the Hu Ben Army was immediately mobilized to Fushan, Wendeng and other places to garrison. Some smart people already felt that Zhang Zhun was going to take action against the Winter Storm. The arrival of this edict accelerated the action process. It can be said that this edict completely tore off all the disguises between Zhang Zhun and the Winter Storm. Now, it is time to showdown.

In order to survive, the Yinxiang Sect had to fight against Zhang Zhun's attack. Of course, the Yinxiang Sect had another way out, which was to surrender to Zhang Zhun or surrender to the court. However, this feasibility was not very good. The basic doctrine of the Yinxiang Sect was to resist the court. If they surrender to the court, their believers would be lost in large quantities.

After the edict was read, Shi Kefa handed over the edict to Zhang Zhun for safekeeping. According to general practice, Zhang Zhun should soon copy hundreds of copies of the edict and post it to various prefectures and counties under his jurisdiction so that all military and civilians could know the content of the edict. After all, this was a great joy.

"Xianzhi, what is the situation in the capital?" After receiving the edict, Brigadier General Zhang asked calmly. There was no feeling of joy on his face as he received the edict.

"Very good." Shi Kefa replied coldly.

"Oh? Very good? Is it?" Zhang Zhun said to himself, his expression a little strange, as if he was a little ridiculous. This ridiculousness was completely aimed at Shi Kefa.

"It's really good." As if he couldn't feel Zhang Zhun's ridicule, Shi Kefa answered expressionlessly.

"Why did my intelligence department report that after the Tartars occupied Shandong, the capital was in chaos? Many people took to the streets for a night, and even the three battalions could not suppress the curfews? Some people even robbed money in broad daylight, saw pornographic women, and impersonal monks cheated money on the street, but those who were deceived flocked to it. Even Empress Yi'an went to Guangji Temple to burn incense, but was almost hit by someone?" Zhang Zhun said with a smile.

The unconcealed scent of ridicule on his face was getting stronger and stronger. His expression was completely aimed at Shi Kefa, and there was a line of words written on his forehead: "Your Shi Kefa is really based on the truth, and you still want to lie to me here?"

"This is nothing, it's all rumors, it's all rumors." Shi Kefa said hurriedly.

Unfortunately, he obviously didn't know how to lie very much. Or, he couldn't lie easily in front of Zhang Zhun. In fact, even he himself felt that his defense was really pale and powerless. After learning that the Tartars occupied Shandong, the capital was indeed in chaos and all kinds of strange things happened.

The incident of Queen Yi'an Zhang Yan going to Guangji Temple to burn incense, but was actually hit by a group of refugees. It was a rumor in the capital that the Jinyiwei could not suppress. Shi Kefa didn't know the detailed story of the matter. He only knew that Queen Yi'an was indeed frightened and returned in a daze. Emperor Chongzhen was even more angry and held several officials accountable.

However, no matter how many officials are held accountable, it is useless. The cause of the incident was not that someone specifically targeted Queen Yi'an, but that in the background at that time, people were panicked, so some people tried to take risks and go crazy before they died. It is conceivable how desperate someone was in his heart.

Of course, there are rumors that Empress Yian is so beautiful, so it causes such trouble. There are also Empress Yian's sister who is more beautiful than Empress Yian. There are two stunning beauties in a sedan chair, no wonder some people are crazy. It just so happens that Empress Yian doesn't like to go out and go, and there are not many guards responsible for defending, so this happened to happen.

There are also rumors that the attack on Empress Yi'an was the spies of the Tartars in the city. They wanted to take advantage of the chaos to capture Empress Yi'an, hide it, send it out of the custody, and then offer it to Huang Taiji for enjoyment. Such rumors are very sensational. If the empress of the late emperor was stolen by the Tartars and favored by the slave chief, then the shame of Jingkang would be staged.

For a time, the Dongchang and the Jinyiwei were both frantically plundering the spies of the Tartars in the city. Fortunately, no major incident happened in the end. Otherwise, Emperor Chongzhen's face would not have been known where to put it. Even so, Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Jinyiwei, was beaten up with a solid slaughter and fined three years of salary. Wang Chengen, the eunuch of the Dongchang, was also fined one year of salary.

The information about the capital was actually not reported by Maoyan Department and the Intelligence Department, but by Gao Hongtu's old friend, Dali Temple judge Zhao Ren. The matter of Zhang Yan being attacked was first sent by Zhao Ren. After such a big incident, the suspects caught would naturally be handed over to the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple for trial. Therefore, Zhao Ren knew more about this matter.

For the sake of Zhao Ren's safety, Zhang Zhun did not make too many requests to Zhao Ren and did not require him to spy on the confidential information. Therefore, what Maoyansi got from him was just the general information from the capital. However, for the current Ming Dynasty, there was really no secret at all. It is said that the cabinet did not know the emperor's meaning, but Huang Taiji knew it. You can imagine the loopholes in the middle.

This time, the Tatars suddenly broke into Shandong, which shocked the capital. In the past, the Tatars invaded twice, relied on the strong city walls and the emperor was here, so the capital was temporarily safe. The Tatars had robbed and burned and killed enough, so they naturally left. No one thought that the Tatars might do more. No one thought that the Tatars might occupy the capital, or even occupy the whole world.

However, after the Tartars occupied Shandong, the nature of things changed a little. Almost overnight, someone suddenly discovered that the Tartars might not be as simple as looting. If the Tartars were smart enough, they might be able to enter the Central Plains. As long as the Tartars control the capital and Shandong, it would be equivalent to completely surrounding the Shanhaiguan line. The Ming army in Shanhaiguan could not continue fighting except for surrender.

From a military perspective, if the Tartars had enough strength and surrounded the capital from Shandong, it would be very dangerous. Especially the security of the Grand Canal was in danger. Most of the capital's materials, as well as the Liaodong defenders' materials, were transported from Jiangnan. Once the Tartars occupied Shandong and cut off the canal, the capital, Xuanfu, Datong, Jizhen, Shanhaiguan, Ningyuan and other places would all fall into a catastrophe. Without enough money and food, the army would collapse.

Even the cabinet and the Ministry of War learned that Dongjiang Town surrendered to the Tatars were collectively petrochemical. Fools knew that once Dongjiang Town had no way to restrain the Tatars, the Tatars would be even more rampant. The Tatars had invaded twice in a row, so who knows when they would launch the third time?

Many people have to start missing Dongjiang Town when Mao Wenlong was still there. If Mao Wenlong was still there, how could the Tartars be so rampant? If Mao Wenlong was still there, how could the Tartars dare to go on a trial? If Mao Wenlong was still there, how could the Tartars easily conquer North Korea?

However, it is too late to say anything now. Mao Wenlong is dead, Dongjiang Town has surrendered. Even Dengzhou City has surrendered. The cabinet has no other way except to issue official documents to denounce these traitors. Ruan Dacheng was originally a member of the eunuch party and was appointed by Wen Tiren. This time, Wen Tiren was indeed overwhelmed. Faced with Chongzhen's overwhelming anger, Wen Tiren knelt on the ground and did not dare to move at all.

The powerful and powerful in the capital also began to realize that the capital was too dangerous. A large number of people began to find ways to move to Jiangnan. Even if they did not dare to go to Jiangnan publicly, they also began to send people to Jiangnan to find a place to settle down. If there was anything wrong with the capital, they could immediately escape to Jiangnan. Because the north was really unsafe.

"Some rumors will disappear soon." Shi Kefa said quietly.

He and Zhang Shenyan looked at him and admired Zhang Zhun's ability. However, it was difficult to rebel with Zhang Zhun. They would not change their minds easily. Zhang Zhun wanted to explain that the court's deadline was approaching and the time for a change of dynasty was approaching, but Shi Kefa wanted to firmly safeguard the majesty of the court. Although he also had many dissatisfaction with the court in his heart. However, in front of Zhang Zhun, he had to maintain the dignity of the court.

Zhang Zhun smiled slightly and said lightly: "I don't know what the court has to do with me?"

Shi Kefa said readily: "The Cabinet and the Ministry of Personnel have approved it."

Zhang Zhun nodded with a smile, expressing satisfaction.

It seems that the court does not like the people he needs, and let go so quickly. From his perspective, these people are the real backbone of the Ming Dynasty. If these people were valued, the Ming Dynasty could have been able to last for a long time. Unfortunately, the court missed the last chance. These people are now all under their own names.

Shi Kefa finally said: "Grandmaster, the court has worked hard for you and is full of hope. He also hopes that you will be dedicated to the public, share the worries of the country, share the worries of the emperor, and share the worries of the people of the world."

Zhang Zhun said with a smile: "Mr. Shi, please rest assured that I will share my worries for the country and the people of the world."

Shi Kefa frowned immediately. Zhang Zhun called himself Master Shi seriously, obviously treating himself as an outsider. What made Shi Kefa feel even more angry was that Zhang Zhun deliberately repeated his words but deliberately missed the emperor. Obviously, he was telling himself clearly that everything I did had nothing to do with the emperor.

However, this is also expected. The court and Zhang Zhun could not believe each other anymore. At present, because of the relationship between the Tatars, the two sides had to cooperate temporarily. Once, well, once the Tatars retreated, the war between the court and Zhang Zhun would inevitably rekindle. The court deliberately provoked the relationship between Zhang Zhun and the Yinxiang Sect in the edict, wasn’t it just to find Zhang Zhun a little uncomfortable?

Now, there is news that we should prepare to draw effective generals from Liaodong or Central Plains to deal with Zhang Zhun. The original Shandong soldiers were too weak in combat, far inferior to Qin soldiers or Sichuan soldiers. Some people even suggested that we mobilize general Wu Xiang (Lao Wu Sangui's Laozi) from Shanhaiguan, or to mobilize general Zuo Liangyu from Central Plains to lead the army to Shandong to suppress Zhang Zhun. However, this matter is very wide and there is no conclusion yet.

Zhang Zhun was also a clever person in the court's thoughts. Zhang Zhun had heard the news about Wu Xiang and Zuo Liangyu's possible arrival in Shandong. Some people even suggested that it would be best to transfer Qin Liangyu's white-rod soldiers over. However, since he was not even afraid of Tartars, would he still be afraid of Wu Xiang and Zuo Liangyu? To be fair, Zhang Zhun was still a little interested in Wu Sangui. This guy can fight. If he did not surrender to Tartars, he would definitely be a brave general.

Shi Kefa finally said: "This time I came to bring all the heads of the Tatars back to the capital, and asked the Grand Commander to cooperate and hand over all the heads of the Tatars to take away."

Zhang Zhun said regretfully: "I'm sorry, the bodies of the Tartars are buried."

Shi Kefa insisted: "It doesn't matter, we can dig it out."

Zhang Zhun looked at Shi Kefa for a long time and said lightly: "Since that's the case, you can do it yourself."

Shi Kefa said again: "I want to ask General Denglai Song Degang for help."

Zhang Zhun looked at Shi Kefa for a long time, nodded, and said as if nothing had happened: "Yes!"

Shi Kefa really told Song Degang. So the Five Hundred Ming Army brought by Song Degang took action overnight, dug out the buried Tartar corpses, cut off the heads, and then marinated them with coarse salt and lime. They loaded them into the truck and prepared to take them back to the capital. Because the Tartars had too many heads, they had to load dozens of large chariots, which was a spectacular sight for a while.

"War Horse!"

"So many war horses!"

"You are the navy! Where did you get so many war horses?"
