Chapter 359 The Confused King Zheng
The day after the speech, the Beijing Daily in Beijing was sold out, and the Shuntianfu Express and the Daming Daily Express were all sold out.
As soon as I returned to the Ganqing Palace, I met Li Zicheng waiting outside.
"His Majesty."
"Go in and say."
Li Zicheng followed Chongzhen into the Ganqing Palace, and he had a summary document in his hand.
"Your Majesty, this is the confession of the King of Shu."
Chongzhen took it and opened it, and finished reading it one by one.
It was very detailed, and it was written about how the King of Shu was greedy for money, how much land, which officials had written letters, how to prepare for rebellion, how to communicate with King Duan, and how to send people to inquire about King Chu's attitude.
There are even the attitudes of local landlords and officials and gentry towards the King of Shu.
All of these prove Chongzhen’s conjecture. This is not a rebellion, but a rebellion by traditional conservative groups against the new policy, and a dispute over interests!
"Cao Huachun"
"What are the instructions of the emperor?"
"Go and give the King of Shu three feet of white silk. For the sake of his confession, he will be decent, and the family of Shu will be beheaded and displayed for the public."
"Yes." Cao Huachun's heart trembled slightly. The emperor was going to kill the prince again, and this time he was extermination.
King Jin was defeated by Cao Huachun, and King Zhou is still trembling in Beijing.
Cao Huachun immediately went out and immediately arranged for someone to arrange the King of Shu to the East Factory.
As soon as Cao Huachun went out, Fang Zhenghua came in: "Emperor, King Dai has arrived in the capital."
King Dai is captured?
"Where are people now?"
"It's being detained in the Ministry of Justice."
"Li Zicheng!"
"I'm here!"
"It's still you, you go to preside over the trial of the three departments and save all the crimes of the King of Dai. I want to announce them to the world!"
"I received the order."
At the end of June, after heavy rain, the sun began to scorch the earth.
The entire North China Plain is clear.
Hong Chengchou finally came out of the haze of heavy rain, and the transportation speed of artillery and military supplies accelerated.
On the third day of the seventh month, Hong Chengchou arrived thirty miles outside Anyang City, Henan.
At this time, Anyang was in chaos, and some soldiers were catching strong men among the people.
It is said that the Zheng Wang Mansion is recruiting soldiers, and many local gentry have defected to the Zheng Wang.
In order to quickly expand the army, King Zheng first attracted a large number of gangsters to come in. These people did not train normally, but they had similar smells, tied their arms around and robbed houses everywhere.
King Zheng’s goal was to form an army of 100,000. In order to quickly complete this goal, the people below began to rush to catch the strong men.
As for the local officials, there were some loyal people to the court. For example, Liu He, the magistrate of Anyang County, vowed not to obey. When he learned that King Zheng had rebelled, he scolded King Zheng for being shameless, and then he hit him and died in the magistrate's office.
Next, a group of people who were unwilling to rebel were gradually eliminated. Other people who were unwilling to rebel did not dare to speak out, and could only promise to save their lives.
Hong Chengchou originally wanted to go to Anyang County to replenish some food and grass. The spy came back and reported: "Shuai Hong, King Zheng of Anyang has rebelled, and now he is catching strong men everywhere!"
"Reverse?"
Hong Chengchou was not only not shocked, but became a little excited.
Isn’t this a big deal to give me military achievements?
However, Hong Chengchou quickly realized that things were not simple.
First, the King of Shu rebelled, then the King of Chu rebelled. Now he went to capture the King of Chu himself, but on the way, the King of Zheng also rebelled!
It is said that King Jing and King Chu of Huguang also rebelled together.
Judging from this situation, will the princes in other provinces also rebell?
If that's the case...then it's fucking good!
All are military achievements!
In the battle of Datong Town, Hong Chengchou perfectly avoided the opportunity to make contributions. He was already very unhappy, but now the opportunity has come.
Hong Chengchou immediately turned around and summoned the officers under his command, starting to inject chicken blood into the officers as well.
When the officers heard this, he said: Oh my god! I'm here to send military merits so soon!
So the officers immediately went down to inject chicken blood on their soldiers.
Then, the army immediately rushed to Anyang County at full speed.
Early in the morning of the fourth day of July, King Zheng was checking out a group of people he had just recruited.
Zheng Wang, who has never fought a war and only likes to watch girls dancing without clothes, is now also inspecting the army in a fair manner, or commenting on the people around him.
His dog-headed military advisor Zhang Chaogui suddenly shouted: "Congratulations to the King, congratulations to the King!"
King Zheng asked strangely, "Why is there?"
"I heard that the court's troops were heading south, and the first one must be to our Anyang. Now the king has 100,000 elite soldiers. The court's troops must stop in Anyang and be defeated by the king's heroic spirit!"
When King Zheng heard this, he was immediately overjoyed: "Good words! Reward!"
"Thank you, King!"
When the people around you saw it, darn! Can you enjoy horses like this?
So they began to flatter each other, making King Zheng feel excited and feel that if he doesn't fight to the Forbidden City tomorrow, he will be sorry for Taizu's spirit in the sky!
"Report! King! No, it's bad! The imperial soldiers have arrived outside the city!" The messengers below were very fast.
Zheng Wang, who had just been immersed in the infinite flattery, was slightly stunned and then reacted: "The imperial army has arrived?"
"King! The imperial army has arrived!"
"Okay! That's great!" Zheng Wang said boldly, waved his sleeves, "Who would like to lead a team out to fight?"
As soon as he said this, everyone immediately jumped out.
"King! Bei Zhi is willing to go out to fight! Please give Bei Zhi an hour. Bei Zhi can only take one hour to destroy the imperial army!"
"King! Huye is willing to go out to fight! Huye only takes half an hour! Half an hour can wipe out all the soldiers and horses of the court!"
"King! It only takes one cup of tea for the humble profession (about fifteen minutes)!"
"King! While you are humble and laugh, the soldiers and horses of the court outside will be wiped out!"
“…”
When King Zheng heard that the capable and righteous men he recruited were more awesome, he laughed so happily. It would be a shame if he didn't fight tonight!
“Okay…”
Zheng Wang said three good things, and the messenger rushed over on horseback: "King! No! The city gate was broken!"
King Zheng opened his eyes wide, and his face was still filled with the excited smile that had just happened, but the smile froze.
He jumped up and said, "What did you say!"
"The city gate was broken!"
The frozen smile on King Zheng's face also disappeared, and his eyes swept to the people who had just spoken loudly.
"Master! I suddenly remembered that there was something to do at home, so I said goodbye first!"
"King! I suddenly remembered that my wife gave birth to a baby today, so I said goodbye!"
"Master! My dog hasn't been fed yet, I'll go back and take a look..."
“…”
Before King Zheng could react, all of these people ran away.
King Zheng: Damn! The speed of this city breaking is almost as fast as I can play with women!
Zhang Chaogui, who was still flattering just now, also rolled and crawled and fled quickly.
After the city gate was bombarded by artillery, the Lanyue army rushed into the city like a tide.
Chapter completed!
