King Rui took advantage of the situation, wrote a suicide note, and then hanged himself. ≦Look at the latest≧≦Chapter≧≦Baidu≧ ≦Search≧ ≦ Product ≧≦ Book ≧≦ Net ≧
In his suicide note, he said that after leaving Hanzhong City, he saw the miserable people's livelihood along the way, with people dying of hunger everywhere, and then he realized that people's livelihood was so difficult, and what he did was really a shame to his ancestors and himself. The identity of the vassal king.
In his suicide note, King Rui also called on other vassal kings to listen to the emperor and have the consciousness of being a descendant of Taizu. They should not imitate him and disobey orders, but do things that would help the bandits grow.
Finally, he said in his suicide note that he had been deceived by thieves. It was the thieves who pretended to be businessmen and instigated him to add insult to injury when people's livelihood was difficult, that made these things happen. Now that he has repented, he dares to face the emperor and his ancestors without shame. He can only die to atone for his sins. He also gives a piece of advice to other vassals, don't imitate him.
After this happened, Li Ruolian immediately sent someone to report to the emperor urgently, and at the same time apologized, saying that the people he sent were not strict enough to guard him, so that such a thing happened.
In response, Emperor Chongzhen informed the vassal kings all over the world about King Rui. At the same time, feeling that King Yu Rui had confessed his crime, he pardoned his family, but his title was gone and he became a commoner. Let other feudal princes take a good look at King Rui’s suicide note and take a warning!
In response to this, King Qin and other vassal kings in Shaanxi who had already exchanged money and grain according to the decree could not help but be very afraid. They actually knew this matter well in their hearts. King Rui didn't really want to rebel at all, but just didn't want to lose money. He wanted to take advantage of his close relationship with the emperor, and he just had an excuse. The land rent was robbed, so he wanted to make a fuss. Unexpectedly, the emperor was so cruel. It's a shame that I didn't learn from King Rui and hit the knife edge. Otherwise, I am afraid that even Prince Rui will not suffer the same fate, and the whole family will be lost, just like Prince Ning before.
Whether it was King Rui's disobedience or "beating" the imperial envoy, generally speaking, in the eyes of the vassal king, these things were at best a reprimand. For example, if the civil servants in North Korea and China did not comply with the decree, would they have done less? There are many things that can refute the emperor's decree, and disobeying it is not a big deal. There is also the question of "beating" the imperial envoy. What method of "beating" is used. They felt that this word was too exaggerated and would at best embarrass the imperial envoy.
In this way, from this matter, all the feudal kings can see the fact clearly. The current emperor is very cruel. Even King Rui will be dealt with severely if he disobeys his will, let alone other vassal kings. If anyone is King Xuerui and wants to play tricks and does not want to listen to the emperor, he will definitely not end well.
Thinking of this, many vassal kings, unless they closed their doors and scolded the emperor for being cold-blooded with their closest relatives, when they showed it, they were indeed much better behaved, and no one dared to say anything.
This is actually not difficult to understand. Today's feudal king has no power at all. All he can have is a good family background, and this must be recognized by the emperor. Otherwise, if you are not included in the genealogy, your descendants will not even have a chance to attack the vassal king. You can offend anyone, but you must not offend the emperor.
Of course, some of the vassal kings also scolded King Rui for not paying attention to the seriousness of the state affairs and for resisting and disobeying the decree. This is what he deserves!
However, there are still too few feudal kings who can think this way.
Of course, these things take time and manifest themselves slowly later on. At the moment, the news is still on the way.
The commander of the Jinyi Guards, Li Ruolian, was only reprimanded a few words without any punishment. At this time, he was in the Governor's Mansion, accompanying Zheng Chongjian in arranging the Loop.
However, on the surface, no one knew the emperor's true intentions. Zheng Chongjian's deployment of troops and generals were considered to be preparations for encircling and suppressing the bandits.
Even Turge, who was in prison, was deliberately induced to know that the Ming Dynasty was in chaos again, and thieves from all over the country were making trouble again, and the trouble was very fierce. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty personally led the expedition and even took a tough stance, forcing the vassal kings in various places to spend money and food on the military campaign to encircle and suppress the bandits.
These news can be considered true, at least today's official circles and people think so. The thieves have indeed become more powerful all of a sudden, and it seems like there are thieves everywhere.
Regarding such a large-scale layout, Zheng Chongjian couldn't help but sigh to Li Ruolian: "I didn't expect that the emperor would take this opportunity and solve the Hetao Tatars by the way. I can guarantee that no one would have thought of this. From the point of view of the art of war, it has been done When it comes to surprise, the Ming Dynasty has already won half the battle before it even started!"
There was no one else present, just the two of them drinking tea.
When Li Ruolian heard this, he just smiled slightly and said: "The success of driving away the Jianlu this time is also due to the emperor's strategizing!"
Zheng Chongjian listened and nodded with joy. By this time, the details of King Qin's war had been passed on. Of course he knew that if the emperor had not suddenly become wiser, no matter how powerful Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting were, they would not be able to do anything under the general situation.
Now he saw a wise and powerful emperor from the emperor's method of settling the food and salary owed to the border troops, as well as his ambition to deal with the bandits and the Hetao Tatars together through elimination and attack. As a minister, he was naturally very pleased with this.
However, after being happy for a moment, he still poured cold water and said with a little worry: "There should be no problem in defeating the Hetao Tatars now, but it is still very difficult to annihilate them all and deal with the Tumut tribe once and for all! The steppe Tatars have no city to defend, and seeing that the situation is not good, escaping to other places will be troublesome."
When Li Ruolian heard this, he didn't care. He immediately shook his head and said, "The governor is overthinking. Since the emperor has decided to deal with the steppe Tatars, he has naturally thought about this. Letting Turge know the news is one of the steps. In addition, , the emperor personally visited the cavalry to hide in Datong, and he must have made preparations for it. Don’t worry, Lord Governor, just do what the emperor wants, and you will be surprised when you look back! "
Hearing this, Zheng Chongjian couldn't help but his eyes flickered as he looked at the commander of the Imperial Guard in front of him.
He knew in his heart that if he wanted to completely annihilate the Hetao Tatars, the most important thing was news. Judging from the look of the commander of the Jinyiwei, he looked confident. Could it be that there was a Jinyiwei spy on the Tatar side, and could the news be sent back in time? If this is the case, there is indeed a chance to successfully annihilate the Hetao Tatars!
Of course Zheng Chongjian didn't know. In fact, the "Jinyiwei secret agent" he thought of was actually more efficient. As long as Turg was released, Turg would be able to keep the upper-level movements of the Tatars in Hetao with his status. Chu. It can also be sent back in real time, giving this side enough time to prepare. It can be said that this "secret agent" is the most powerful spy in history!
Regarding this idea, he did not express it, but started another topic: "Calculating time, if the Tumote Department agrees to use war horses in exchange for these Jianzhou Jurchens, there should be news soon. I don't know what the emperor thinks about this. , what’s your purpose?”
For example, is the quality of this war horse going to make things difficult?
In addition, if you form a heavy armored cavalry, the most important condition is actually the choice of war horse. Ordinary war horses simply cannot bear the weight of men and horses covered in iron armor, or in other words, they simply cannot last.
If the Tumote Department can send good war horses this time, and it is measured according to this standard, the combat effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty cavalry will be greatly improved.
However, Li Ruolian shook his head and said with a smile: "There is no need to be embarrassed about such a trivial matter. Anyway, in the near future, all the horses in the Tumote Department will belong to me."
Hearing this, he seemed to be full of confidence, which made Zheng Chongjian a little surprised. Could it be that this was also the emperor's attitude, so he was so confident?
While he was thinking about it, suddenly there were guards from outside who quickly walked in and reported with joy: "Sir, there is an urgent delivery from Yansui, saying that the Tumote Department has agreed to exchange war horses for Jianzhou Jurchens, and there is no bargaining. , they are all equipped with well-mounted war horses, and are on their way back to the pass."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Chongjian couldn't help but be overjoyed. This first step went very smoothly! It can also be seen from this that these Jianzhou Jurchens are very important in the eyes of the Tumote Department.
In response, he turned to look at Li Ruolian to see what he meant? Of course, the main reason is because Li Ruolian represents the emperor. Otherwise, he, the governor of the three sides, still has the final say here.
When Li Ruolian saw it, he smiled and said to Zheng Chongjian: "Then just follow the plan. When the critical moment comes, the emperor will send someone over."
Zheng Chongjian thought that he would secretly send someone to report the progress of things here to the emperor, so the emperor would send someone to convey the order at a critical moment.
With this in mind, he began to make arrangements.
On this day, the Jianzhou women in the prison of the Governor's Mansion were bored. Suddenly, there were chaotic footsteps outside the cell, and they saw the soldiers who had escorted them come in. Without any explanation, after entering the prison, these Jianzhou Jurchens were beaten.
Some prisoners wanted to resist, but their hands and feet were chained and they were imprisoned for a long time. They were unable to resist at all, and instead suffered even greater ravages. The officers and soldiers of the Ming army cursed Jianlu for their cruelty while repairing them.
Turge was not surprised but happy about this, because he knew that it was probably because he had to let people like him go back that these smart dogs would behave like this. So, he yelled loudly in barbarian language, telling his men not to resist, lest they be beaten extra.
However, what he didn't expect was that these Ming soldiers even cut off their money rat tails after beating them. At this time, even Turge was angry. This was a humiliation, the biggest humiliation to their Jianzhou Jurchens!
Obviously, they never thought that it would be humiliating to force the Han people they plundered to be shaved into money rat tails. Now this is just repaying the other person with his own way!
Turge and others wanted to resist, but it was useless. Han Leyu, a member of Qianhu of the Hussars Camp, led a group of men, and with the help of the prison guards, they pressed down on the ground and shaved him clean.
"Haha... these have become monks!" Han Leyu was in a good mood, holding the newly cut rat tail in his hand, and said to Turge who looked angry, "Wait, go back and put down the bandits. How about going to Liaodong and shaving off all their money rat tails, a bunch of bald heads?"
Turge was so angry that he couldn't imagine what it would be like for the male and female Jurchens of Jianzhou to have their heads shaved. He swore angrily: "Minggou, you..."
"Pah!" There was a sound, and Han Leyu slapped him across the face and shouted sternly, "If you keep croaking, do you believe I will turn all of you damn Tatars into eunuchs?"
Hearing this, Turge immediately shut up. But there was anger in his eyes, staring at Han Leyu as if he wanted to burn him to death.
Han Leyu didn't care. He threw the rattail in his hand on the ground, stepped on it a few times and said, "It's almost done. Just drive them out. It will give them an advantage."
So, his men pushed and kicked them out of the prison, and after many days, they saw the light of day again. However, at this time, these captives, including Turg, did not feel the joy of being released, but were all very angry. This humiliation before leaving obviously deeply wounded their self-esteem, if they had any.
When Turge and others were taken to the gate of the Governor's Mansion, they saw that many troops had gathered in the square here, and the Governor of the Ming Dynasty was also there, giving a lecture. It seemed that he had been speaking for a long time, and he had already finished speaking. about there.
Turge tried his best to calm down and listened attentively to what the governor of the Ming Dynasty said.
"...Li thieves have captured several counties now, and the thieves are huge." Zheng Chongjian said loudly with a serious face, "The reason why you are being transferred out this time is to go to the south, to stop the thieves from jumping into the Central Plains, and with the thieves Zhang They echo each other and bring trouble to the people of the Central Plains, let’s set off!”
"General, I obey!" Upon hearing this, the generals in front of him immediately clasped their fists and accepted the order, then returned to their respective armies and began to lead the troops.
At this time, Han Leyu stepped forward and reported to Zheng Chongjian that Jianlu had been brought.
After hearing this, Zheng Chongjian turned his head to look at the Jianlu in the distance, and then said loudly to Han Leyu: "I'll leave this matter to you. After changing to war horses, send them to Hanzhong as soon as possible. The bandits are good at running around, and they are in urgent need of cavalry to encircle and suppress them." "
After saying that, he led his staff and escorts and set off with the army, obviously going to work on suppressing bandits.
"General, I obey!" After hearing this, Han Leyu immediately agreed and respectfully sent the three governors off.
Turge secretly kept all of this in mind from beginning to end. At the same time, I cursed secretly, it’s best if those thieves make more trouble!
Then, he and his men were driven north like sheep.
Along the way, Turg saw that the people's livelihood in Shaanxi was in ruins, and victims were everywhere. Fortunately, it was said that the princes' palaces from all over the country had provided food, and many places were providing disaster relief. Although they also encountered a small group of thieves, the Beijing cavalry troops escorting them were all elite, so it didn't have any impact.
Turge remained silent, looking at all this with hatred, not knowing what he was thinking.
