Zhou Yuji led the army to the front of Da'ankou Pass.
The square in front of Guanqian was a mess, filled with all kinds of discarded junk materials. Lost shoes, tattered clothes. Half of the wood was burned and the tent was in ruins. Dead livestock.
There are also some abandoned old, weak, sick, disabled and wounded soldiers. Lying under the tree, wailing and cursing the people who threw them away.
"Commander, if you leave the door open without closing the door, is there any fraud?" said Mr. Qian Hongyuan.
"The army is so fucking defeated that they are still trying to trick an empty city. You lead five hundred people into the city." Zhou Yuji said coldly. Hurrying and slowing down still allowed them to run away.
Huang Tengyuan and Tong Jianye have been identified by Jin Yiwei. They are the leaders of the largest group of rebels. Both of them ran away, which made Zhou Yuji very angry.
After a while, Hong Yuan ran back panting.
"Commander, everyone has escaped. Guancheng is empty. The granary inside is also empty."
Zhou Yuji looked up at the sky under the scorching sun and murmured: "This is when we leave the border. Once we leave the Great Wall, the sea and sky will be brighter."
Without the order of the emperor and the cabinet, he could not leave the customs.
Now I can only watch the two thieves running away. Xinghe Tuanlian is also here and cannot leave the border to pursue.
"Today the army is camping in Guancheng, and the whole army is very tired. Let's rest here for a few days and wait for His Majesty's orders." Zhou Yuji said.
"Well, sir, what shall we do with these wounded soldiers and their rebellious family members?"
"Treat the wounded soldiers if they can be treated. As for these thieves, give them some food first and keep them under guard until the Jin Yi Guards come to deal with them."
After Zhou Yuji regained Da'ankou, he immediately sent an urgent letter to the emperor Liubaili. The counterinsurgency was complete. All the lost territory has been recovered, more than 30,000 rebels have been captured, and 23,000 have been beheaded. More than a dozen prefectures and counties in Ji Town have been affected, and the losses are still being counted.
Two days later, it was morning time, and Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair with a tired look on his face in the Qianqing Palace. With cold eyes, he looked at the ministers below shirking their responsibilities to each other.
The Jin Party, Lu Party, Zhejiang Party, Chu Party, etc. were all attacking the Donglin cabinet. The Qing army had too many problems, which led to the Jizhen riot. They impeached the Donglin cabinet one after another and demanded that the Donglin cabinet step down. Re-appoint cabinet members.
The Jin Party was the most violent, insisting on the prosecution of Li Banghua, who presided over the Ministry of War, and Qian Longxi, the deputy minister of the cabinet.
Chongzhen was upset, but he couldn't express it.
These bastards know that the Qing army is my intention, but they still hold on to it. Doesn't this embarrass me?
People like Dong Lin are also very excessive. Who are they using? If they weren't greedy for military pay, how could they have caused such a big thing?
You treat soldiers as animals, worse than animals. At least the common people still cherish animals. They also have to eat some beans when plowing the fields.
You want the horse to run, but also want the horse not to eat grass. You are really stupid. Have all the books of sages been read into the dog's belly?
He usually talks about benevolence, righteousness and morality, and his people are all moral gentlemen, so he is full of justice.
But I asked Tushan to check them out, and they were covered in shit.
Even worse than the eunuchs. At least the eunuch party's corruption is still on the surface. These people want reputation as well as corruption. It's disgusting to look at.
He suddenly remembered what Yang Fan said to him. The reason why mosquitoes are annoying is not that they suck human blood, but that before sucking human blood, they must first buzz about why they need human blood to suck. Great truth.
Moreover, Chongzhen also understood that the abilities of these people were worrying.
I usually keep a high profile than anyone else. When it's your turn to do things, you will avoid snakes and scorpions one by one. What he did with all his strength was nothing but chicken feathers.
Chongzhen began to consider whether it was a mistake to use this group of people in the first place.
"This time, the rebellion occurred in Ji Town, the largest town in the world. It poisoned millions of people and affected more than ten states and counties. More than 70,000 soldiers were lost. The 100,000 troops in Ji Town were almost wiped out. Such a huge failure, does the cabinet need to Do you need to be responsible? Does the Ministry of War need to be responsible?"
Li Banghua retorted with a red face: "The officers in this rebellion are all from Shanxi. Do you have any ulterior motives behind your back?"
Who knows. The current situation of the Ming Dynasty is that if it does not disarm, its finances will go bankrupt. Although a certain person thinks that he is not capable enough, at least he is a person who does things, not a fart. Apart from criticizing this and impeaching that, can you people solve even one problem? "
"Huang Tengyuan was transferred from Taiyuan, but Tong Jianye went to Liao Town. Now Dongchang has found out that he is a slave girl cadre agent. Ji Liao Supervisor is the person you recommended. You say we are behind the scenes. We He also said that you colluded to create slaves."
"You..., you... make me so angry." Li Banghua was speechless and almost fainted.
"Your Majesty, I impeach Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao. He secretly negotiated peace with Hong Ji (the name of Huang Taiji in the Ming Dynasty), and the two sides also engaged in smuggling trade." Tian Ning then stepped out and said loudly.
There was a loud bang in the court, like a huge boulder being dropped into a calm lake.
All the officials were talking about it. This is no joke, this is an earth-shattering event. The border commander colluded with the enemy and negotiated privately. This was a major crime against the nine tribes.
Although Tian Ning is the censor, he can hear about things. But that also depends on what it is.
Don't dare to talk nonsense about such a major military matter, otherwise His Majesty and the Cabinet will definitely make it difficult for him to go around.
Chongzhen was lying on the dragon chair with his eyes closed and meditating. At this moment, he suddenly sat up and said loudly: "Do you have any evidence?"
Tian Ning slapped his neck and said loudly: "I have evidence. He hid a man named White Lama Zang in the army. This White Lama came from the subordinates of Wengniu Tebu Zanghua in Taining. This man has been more than ten years old. Over the past few years, he has been traveling between the Inner Khalkha Alliance and Shenyang, working as a thread and doing espionage. I don’t know why Commander Yuan hid him in the camp.”
This matter immediately attracted Chongzhen's attention. He suddenly became energetic. He turned around and whispered to Wang Chengen: "Immediately ask Tushan to send people to Ningyuan to search for this white lama and bring him back to me. He must be brought back alive."
After Wang Chengen bowed his head and accepted the order, he turned around and left.
As soon as these words came out, Qian Longxi was shocked. He didn't know about this, and Yuan Chonghuan had never told him. Yuan Manzi, what does this mean? He began to worry.
From his experience, if there is a possibility that things will go bad, no matter how small the possibility is, it will happen.
Sure enough, Tian Ning continued: "Supervisor Yuan reported to the court that he would expand the cavalry by 30,000 people. He purchased the required horses from Lin Dan Khan. However, he kept delaying the decision because the price of the horses was not suitable. He also wanted to use this to blackmail Lin Dan Khan. But the 30,000 cavalrymen allocated by the imperial court were paid according to the cavalry. And those reserve cavalry who did not receive horses were paid according to the infantry or the cavalry. Where did the difference go? The pay of cavalry is seven times that of infantry. The whereabouts of such a huge military expenditure are unknown, and I ask your Majesty to investigate the matter thoroughly."
There was another bang in the court, and no one saw the money. Could it be that the southern barbarian had eaten it alone. It's actually possible to play like this. The person named Yuan really gets more and more fancy the more he plays.
