Seeing that the soldiers were very tired, they could only turn a blind eye to the matter of drinking.
"Those people are still under our custody and are ready to be dispersed and locked up in various places to prevent them from causing trouble again."
Wang Ke quickly reported the situation of the prisoners to Hu Yunqing.
"Well, Li Zicheng has taken care of it for me, and he will be escorted directly to the capital when the time comes."
Listening to Wang Ke's arrangement, Hu Yunqing also felt that this was the best way.
"Sir, how did you get Li Zicheng to surrender?"
A general who drank too much looked at Hu Yunqing curiously and asked.
"Does that need to be said? You're just afraid of being beaten by us."
"Yes, a group of farmers can also fight. What a joke."
...
Everyone began to laugh loudly, not looking down upon Li Zicheng's rebel army at all.
"Because he was a respectable opponent and he didn't want his men to die in vain, so he chose to surrender."
When listening to the mocking voices of these people, Hu Yunqing silently put down his chopsticks and said to everyone.
Seeing that these were just annihilating some peasants, he began to feel complacent. This was the elite among the elite of the Ming Dynasty. Even some farmers suffered heavy losses.
The opponent in the future is the Eight Banners, which is known as the strongest cavalry. If this continues, it will be strange if the Ming Dynasty survives.
"Sir, when will we set off back to Beijing?"
Xu Wei saw that Hu Yunqing's face was a little unhappy. He didn't know what happened. He raised his hand to stop his men from talking, looked at Hu Yunqing and asked.
"Leave tomorrow! Just leave the matters here to the local government. If they can't solve it, it's useless to ask them."
Hu Yunqing just smelled the wine in the wine glass, then put it on the table and said to everyone.
"Sir, the sky is high here and the emperor is far away. It doesn't matter if we play for a few more days. Your Majesty will not blame you."
"Yes, women in Gansu also have a unique flavor."
...
"snort!"
Looking at the disgusting faces of these people, Hu Yunqing really knew why Li Zicheng wanted to revolt. He snorted coldly and walked away with the wine bottle.
"this....."
All the generals in the big tent didn't understand why Mr. Hu, who was usually approachable, was so angry today.
"You guys! You dare to say anything! Do you know that Mr. Hu is His Majesty's man? What you say will eventually reach His Majesty's ears."
Xu Wei seemed to know what Hu Yunqing was doing. He threw the wine bottle on the ground angrily, stood up, kicked over the table in front of him and shouted.
"General, before we sent a military report to the court, saying that Mr. Hu was missing. Now that Mr. Hu is back, and we have won a great victory, do you want to send a military report back immediately?"
A general stood up and said to Xu Wei before he drank too much.
"Shut up! I know what you want to do? If you let me hear it again, I will destroy you first!"
Xu Wei looked at the person who spoke coldly and scolded him loudly.
"Yes, the general is abrupt."
"The military report must be sent. Just report it truthfully. Let the army prepare in the evening and break camp and return to Beijing early tomorrow morning!"
Xu Wei looked at the mess on the ground and was not in the mood to continue drinking. After explaining, he strode out of the tent.
Wang Ke looked at these generals and thought, "What's wrong with having a good meal? If you insist on eating so much," he quickly followed Xu Wei.
They were going back to the capital tomorrow. Thinking of this, the others were not in the mood to drink and left the tent one after another.
Outside the imperial study room
"Your Majesty, you'd better come out and have something to eat. You will collapse your body if you do this."
Eunuch He knocked on the door with his hand and said loudly inside.
"Get out! Don't bother me!"
Then Chongzhen's angry roar came from inside the hall.
"Queen, you are finally here."
Eunuch He heard the movement behind him and saw that Queen Zhang was coming. He quickly knelt on the ground and said.
"what happened?"
The queen looked at the closed hall, then looked at Eunuch He who was kneeling on the ground and asked.
"Your Majesty received the news of Mr. Hu's disappearance, and has been shutting himself in since then. He has refused to see anyone or eat anything. It has been a day and a night."
Eunuch He quickly told the whole story.
"Open it, I want to go in."
The queen saw that the imperial study room was closed and ordered to Eunuch He.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty has decreed that no one should be allowed to open the door, if we open it."
Eunuch He knelt on the ground, buried his head deeply and said.
"I'll go in myself!"
The queen kicked open the door of the main hall and entered the royal study.
I originally thought that Chongzhen was as decadent as last time, but when he came in, he found that there were many memorials on Chongzhen's table, which were not what Eunuch He said.
"You came."
When the door was opened, the only one in the palace who dared to come in was his queen.
"I thought you were decadent again, so I came to scold you to wake you up."
"Okay, now that you're fine, I'm relieved and won't bother you here."
Seeing that she had nothing to do anymore, the queen turned around and prepared to leave.
Chongzhen never raised his head and continued to look at his memorial.
Those who were close to Zhu Si in the capital were also waiting anxiously at home, and there were many people watching around the house.
"Han Kedi, don't worry. If His Majesty wants to blame you, I will protect you."
In the East Factory, Han Kedi has been waiting anxiously for several days. No news came out from the palace at all.
Wei Zhongxian saw Han Kedi's anxiety and quickly came over with a teacup and said.
"Master Wei, you know that I am not afraid of death. What should we do with the thousands of people in the Imperial Guard? There are no less than two hundred people related to Zhu Si. These are also the pillars of the country."
How could Han Kedi not be anxious? He excitedly said to Wei Zhongxian.
"I got some news. Your Majesty has been in the Imperial Study Room. There may be something going on in Gansu, and I don't have time to talk to you now."
Wei Zhongxian also has some acquaintances in the palace, and he talked about the current situation in the palace.
"Gansu? Didn't you let the Shenji Camp go? Are there still problems with dealing with some farmers?"
Hearing that there was a problem in Gansu, Han Kedi was a little surprised and did not dare to confirm that it was true, so he asked Wei Zhongxian.
"It's true. It's very likely that something happened to Mr. Hu, the Minister of War. Otherwise, His Majesty wouldn't be so angry."
Wei Zhongxian also thought of a possibility and said to Han Kedi.
"Hey, these days of waiting are really uncomfortable!"
Han Kedi picked up the teacup, took a sip, sat on the chair and said.
A few days later, Chongzhen looked a little pale and didn't eat much. He stayed in the imperial study and stopped going to the morning court.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty. Another military report from Gansu has returned!"
