"Cui Ming came to see me!"
A moment later, Cui Ming came. After entering the private room, he lowered his voice and saluted Chongzhen.
"Cui Ming, the deputy Qianhu of Jinyi Guards, is here to see Your Majesty!"
"Please arrange for someone to keep an eye on the affairs of the Huang family and the prefect of Yan'an City to prevent any trouble, and pass the found information to the Shaanxi Chief Secretary's Yamen!"
"I have already arranged for people to investigate!"
"In addition, I heard that there is a man in Ansai County named Gao Yingxiang, who sells horses as a business, is good at riding and shooting, and has extraordinary arm strength.
Take people to Ansai County yourself to check if this is the case.
If he is true and credible and has no evil deeds, you can find a way to recruit him, then send him to Tianshui and hand him over to Fang Zhenghua for training! "
After Chongzhen said this, he thought for a while and looked at Wang Laipin at the door: "Wang Laipin, you come with me too!"
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will live up to your Majesty's trust!"
Hearing what Wang Laipin said, Chongzhen asked curiously: "How are you going to recruit?"
"Just beat him once, if that doesn't work, give him two times. If two times doesn't work, give him a few more times. Just beat him until he is convinced!"
The most important thing for such a reckless person is chivalry and strength. As long as you are stronger than him, he will obey you.
When the time comes, I will tell him about the benefits of joining the army, and I will not believe that he will not be tempted. When he joins the army, Mr. Fang will naturally have the means to train him. "
"He is good at riding and shooting, and his arm strength is extraordinary. Don't take it lightly, or the boat will capsize in the gutter!"
"Excellent arm strength?"
Wang Laipin chuckled: "No matter how superior I am to others, how can I surpass others? I can charge with a sword weighing a hundred kilograms, and the one I hit is because of my superior arm strength."
After listening to Wang Laipin's words, Chongzhen said in his heart, "What you said makes sense, I am speechless!"
He ignored this point. If Wang Laipin could become the top martial artist, his martial arts skills were definitely not limited. Riding and shooting were even more basic skills.
"Go!"
The two of them saluted and left. Chongzhen picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, his thoughts up and down.
The world only knows Chuang Wang Li Zicheng, but they don't know that Li Zicheng's Chuang King also inherited someone else.
And this other person is his uncle, Gao Yingxiang, the first generation king of Chuang.
If Gao Yingxiang did not die, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong would have no possibility of becoming independent. Judging from historical records, this man was also an outstanding person.
The uprising broke out in July of the first year of Chongzhen, and it was not until the eighth year of Chongzhen that he was ambushed by Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi at the time, and was escorted back to Beijing to be executed in Lingchi.
After Gao Yingxiang's death, Li Zicheng was elected and became the second generation of kings, and he had real capital.
In eight years, Gao Yingxiang led his generals to fight the Ming army dozens of times, and fought against many civil servants and generals in the late Ming Dynasty.
Such as Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao, He Renlong, Zuo Liangyu, Lu Xiangsheng, Qin Liangyu, Tang Jiuzhou, Chen Qiyu, Zhang Tianli, Zhao Shikuan, Zhang Heming and others, and killed half of them.
Among them, Zhang Heming was the Minister of War at that time.
Chen Qiyu, a think-tank Confucian general, was also demoted from the border garrison due to the battle of Chexixia Gorge.
The historical evaluation is: scientifically speaking, it is bad luck, but superstitiously speaking, this is fate.
It was Gao Yingxiang's death that made Chongzhen feel that he was good again, so a series of sexy operations followed.
He personally commanded several battles and directly destroyed the elites of the Ming Dynasty, such as the Battle of Songjin where Hong Chengchou was killed and the Battle of Ruzhou where Sun Chuanting died.
But no matter how you say it, this is definitely a talent. He can be so good without receiving formal military education. After joining the army and training for a period of time, he is definitely a general.
The most important thing is that he has been selling horses since he was a child. He must be someone who knows horses and is good at riding and shooting. Now that the Tengxiang Four Guards are forming cavalry, this is where he can use his skills.
After thinking about it, Chongzhen drank the tea slowly and then went downstairs.
There were several horses outside the door, and everyone got on their horses and went straight to the outside of Yan'an City.
After leaving Yan'an City, Chongzhen looked back at the walls of Yan'an City, but he murmured in his heart: "Is it a coincidence, or does such a mysterious thing really exist?"
He couldn't prove whether Feng Shui was good or bad, but he knew that only the fist in his hand was the biggest.
This trip to Yan'an has been fruitful. It's time to go to Yansui Town and Taiyuan Town, and then return to Beijing.
"drive!"
Chongzhen shouted low, the horse started running, and everyone followed.
Then Baiqi gathered from different directions and followed Chongzhen, raising a large amount of dust.
One day later, Cui Ming's Jinyi Guards came to report that Gao Yingxiang was not found in Ansai. After investigation, they found that Gao Yingxiang had left to sell horses and had not returned. Cui Ming and Wang Laipin chased him along the road.
Chongzhen didn't care. If Cui Ming and Wang Laipin couldn't handle this matter, there was no need to do it.
Five days later, Chongzhen's Luanjia arrived at Yulin, the residence of Yansui Town.
Even though Yuan Keli had been the governor of the three sides for nearly half a year, even Wu Zimian, the commander-in-chief of Yansui, knew that the emperor was coming and made preparations.
After the inspection, Chongzhen was speechless.
Eight emperors from Yingzong to Shenzong overhauled the Great Wall and spent heavily to build the important town of Yansui, but it has fallen into such a state of decline today.
Judging from the results of Jinyiwei's survey, more than 30% of the soldiers in the border town with a planned number of more than 40,000 people are vacant.
Although the sergeants he saw in Yulin Town and several surrounding forts were pretty good, he was sure that the forts further away were all old, weak, sick and disabled.
To put it bluntly, he brought the reorganized Tengxiang Right Guards and the two thousand warrior battalion, and if there were dozens of internal agents, they would make a surprise attack at night.
It is very likely that the garrison in Yulin Town will be completely annihilated with 10% to 20% battle losses.
Then they looted Yulin and Suide, and then retreated easily.
After a round of inspection and returning to the back hall of the General Military Mansion, Chongzhen took a stack of paper and slowly looked through it. His face became darker and darker as he read, and his hands were shaking at the end.
Yuan Keli, Cao Bianjiao and others looked solemn at this scene. They had never seen the emperor in such a state.
After a while, Chongzhen took a deep breath and handed the paper to Yuan Keli.
"You guys should take a look too!"
After Yuan Keli took the paper, Cao Bianjiao and others gathered around and scanned it quickly.
"Deserves to be killed!"
"hateful!"
"shameful!"
…
Everyone shouted angrily at the same time, their faces extremely ugly.
What was recorded on the paper was the numerous crimes of Yansui Commander-in-Chief Wu Zimian and several of his confidants discovered by Jinyiwei!
Every one of them is disgraceful.
"Your Majesty, this minister has neglected his duty, please punish me!"
Yuan Keli suddenly knelt down: "Your Majesty, I just resigned as the governor of the three sides half a month ago. During my term of office, I did not discover Wu Zimian's crimes, which almost led to a big mistake!"
Yuan Keli's sudden move made Chongzhen stunned, and then he stepped forward and pulled Yuan Keli: "Yuan Aiqing, please get up, this matter has nothing to do with you.
Yulin is more than a thousand miles away from Xi'an. The distance is far and beyond reach.
You are busy with the civil uprising, disaster relief, the incident in the Prince of Qin's Palace, and the farming of the Qingzhang Palace. It's normal that you can't take care of this! "
"Your Majesty, I sincerely request that Wu Zimian be executed. I will stay and personally serve as the commander-in-chief of Yansui. I will train an elite army for your Majesty!"
"We'll discuss this later. Let's go meet the generals in Yansui first!"
After Chongzhen finished speaking, he immediately headed towards the front hall, and Yuan Keli, Cao Bianjiao and others followed him with murderous looks on their faces.
