Chapter 236
Turning around the valley, Zheng Chongjian saw a young man in armor at a glance, surrounded by soldiers of the Ming army like stars holding the moon.The most conspicuous ones were of course the Jin Yiwei in flying fish suits, all scattered around the young man.

Needless to say, this young man must be the current emperor!
Zheng Chongjian thought about it and looked at it intently.Sure enough, he vaguely recognized that the young man was indeed the emperor.However, very different from the impression he had in his memory, the emperor at this time seemed to act very naturally, without the rigidity he had seen before.The first feeling I gave him was that he was full of heroism and very confident.

This... is this the emperor?He sighed in surprise in his heart, he couldn't believe it, the emperor really changed a lot.

"My lord governor, the emperor is over there, let's go there quickly!" Li Ruolian, commander of Jin Yiwei, who was beside Zheng Chongjian, suddenly said.

When Zheng Chongjian heard this, he quickly said yes and hurried over to greet the emperor: "Your Majesty planned the strategy and decided to win the Loop in one battle. This is indeed a rare victory for our Ming Dynasty!"

The tone of his speech was filled with joy from the bottom of his heart.

As a person at that time, he naturally knew very well that this time's plan for the war in Hetao was really due to the emperor's strategizing.If he had thought before that there might be a counselor helping the emperor, but now he saw it, he had no doubts, it was definitely the emperor's own ability.Therefore, when he speaks, he is sincere.

The generals of the Qin frontier army who followed him basically saw the emperor himself for the first time.Originally, he was overwhelmed by the emperor's command, and Tumed's troops were wiped out in a snap of his fingers. Now seeing the emperor's demeanor, he was even more admirable.

Although they were wearing armor, they all followed closely behind the governor, knelt on one knee, cupped their fists in salute.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile on his face: "Zheng Qing, come to your senses quickly! You have worked hard in this battle! And all the generals, there is no need to be polite in front of the army, please get up!"

After the imperial edict was issued, Zheng Chongjian traveled around Shaanxi. First, he went to various places to negotiate with the vassal princes' palaces to solve the precarious dilemma of the border troops. Then he had to arrange an illusion so that Turg would feel that the pass was empty and would lead his troops in. In the end, we have to deploy various ambushes and pursue the Tumote tribe all the way, sleepless and restless. For a person in his 50s, it is fake that he is not working hard!
However, at this moment, he felt that everything was worth it.

After this battle, Zheng Chongjian's name will definitely be recorded in the annals of history, and more importantly, with the affection of fighting side by side with the emperor, he will not worry too much in the officialdom in the future.

And the generals who led the troops were even more excited when they saw the emperor's friendly appearance, and they stood up straight one by one.

Afterwards, it was He Renlong who reported the results of the Battle of Taniguchi and summarized what Zheng Chongjian reported. The situation is as follows:
There were more than 3000 horsemen on the left and right wings of Tumed's troops who entered the pass this time, and none of them escaped from the pass.A total of about 3000 were beheaded by the Ming army, about [-] were injured, and [-] surrendered, and [-] troops should be scattered on the Loess Plateau.

Of course, according to the official side of the Ming Dynasty, the right-wing commander of the Tumote tribe, Hang Gao, the leader of his tribe, had been beheaded, as evidenced by his head; the left-wing commander, Guluge, was captured and his people were brought In front of the emperor.

"God Khan, please forgive me!" After Guluge learned that the young man in front of him turned out to be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he was shocked and speechless at first, and then immediately began to beg for mercy, "Our Tumote Department is willing to serve the Ming Dynasty. For the Lord, we will no longer communicate with the Qing...and the Jianlu, in fact, we were forced to surrender to the Jianlu."

Although he seemed to be panicking when he spoke, at this moment, Gu Luge was not panicking at all.I thought that the one standing in front of him was the emperor of Ming Dynasty!
Guruge can be sure that the Ming emperor will definitely win over him, and if he surrenders to the Ming Dynasty on behalf of the Tumote tribe, he might even get a title like King Shunyi!The only thing I'm a little worried about is that I'm afraid that the only king of the Tumut tribe will not be in power for too long. When the Qing Dynasty in Liaodong knows about the situation here, they will send troops to attack again. At that time, they will have no choice but to surrender. Qing, continue to be the leader.

After he finished speaking, he knelt down there, showing a respectful look.I just expect the emperor of the Ming Dynasty to reprimand him a few words, and then let him stand up and speak.

In order to ensure this situation as much as possible, he played a little trick when he spoke just now.He knew that the emperor of the Central Plains Dynasty liked the people on the grassland to call him Tian Khan, so when he met him, he immediately called him "Tian Khan".

Emperor Chongzhen looked down at this squat Jianlu running dog, and shouted coldly: "It's really courageous to enter the customs and rob my Daming..."

When Gu Luge heard this, he was secretly happy. Look, the emperor of Ming Dynasty wanted to save face. He began to reprimand him a few words, and then changed the subject. He must have repented and comforted himself!There seems to be an idiom among the Han people, which is called soft and hard, and it should be this!
As he was thinking about it, he heard Emperor Chongzhen continue to shout: "I just said before that those who violate my Ming Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away! Your Tumote invaded my Ming Dynasty. From then on, there is no need to exist in this world." The so-called Tumut Department..."

Hearing this, Gu Luge felt that something was wrong, he couldn't help raising his head, and looked up at Emperor Chongzhen, with a look of real fear on his face.However, in his heart, he was still thinking, could it be that the Ming emperor changed the name of his tribe?For example, a name with a slave nature, or a name that highlights the great achievements of the Ming emperor?

But who knows, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly raised his voice and said: "Come on, hang him at the mouth of the valley, let other tribes on the grassland see, whoever offends me, this is the end!"

"Observe the order!" Upon hearing this, several guards in Jinyi immediately stepped forward to drag them away.

Gu Luge was dumbfounded. He didn't come back to his senses until he was dragged away by Jin Yiwei, and he begged for mercy loudly, but it was useless at all.Because the Emperor Chongzhen in front of him actually came from later generations, and his way of thinking was different from people of this era, or in other words, from the emperors before the Ming Dynasty.

Looking at this scene, Zheng Chongjian and the other generals were also a little surprised.They found that the performance of the emperor often made them unpredictable!

However, they were very happy, especially the generals. When they heard the emperor's words, "Those who commit crimes against the Ming Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away they are," it aroused their passion as warriors. This included Wu Sangui!
Young people, especially young warriors, who don't want to be able to move forward bravely, overcome obstacles, attack and attack again; instead of defending the city, watching the enemy show off their power outside the city, defending and defending and then defending.

Therefore, as far as Wu Sangui is concerned, when he was in Guan Ning, he never felt the blood in his body, more of aggrieved, and some plotting.However, this time, following the order to go out with the driver, it was very fun. The emperor's decree and the ease and comfort of annihilating a Mongolian tribe, how happy it is!

In the future, it will be a matter of great pride to be able to practice "those who violate the Ming Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away"!
Emperor Chongzhen himself did not expect that after saying such a sentence, it would arouse many thoughts among the generals.At this time, he handed over the affairs on the battlefield to Zheng Chongjian, and watched him give orders, learning to deal with the affairs on the battlefield.

The captives had to be resettled, and the remnants of the Tumed tribe scattered on the Loess Plateau had to be wiped out. In addition, the Urad tribe who had entered the customs had to check the battle situation to see if reinforcements were needed, etc.And after all this is settled, according to the emperor's intention, he will go south quickly to really suppress the rebellion.

When they were busy with the end of the war, Li Zicheng had already led his men. Under the pressure of the gathering of frontier troops in the whole Qin area, he resolutely gave up the occupied counties in southern Shaanxi and started his old business. Historically, it jumped into Henan ahead of schedule.

However, the difference from before is that this time, although he still held the people of several counties in southern Shaanxi hostage, he made a promise, saying that Henan was rich and the land was fertile, and he would take them to kill corrupt officials. , and give them fields.

In the 12th year of Chongzhen, there was still a severe drought in the north, and also in Shaanxi. Therefore, the people in southern Shaanxi were about to die. Maybe they could still survive in Henan. Therefore, this time, many people voluntarily followed Li Zicheng gone.

In fact, since Li Zicheng emerged from Shangluo Mountain this time, he began to pursue stolen money and stipends based on the slogan of "equal land and free of taxes". His team expanded rapidly like a snowball, and then got out of control. He has never been defeated, and the more he fought, the stronger he became, and he finally killed Daming, but it was too late to transform, and it turned out to be cheap for Manqing.

No, when Li Zicheng arrived in Henan, he found that there was also a severe drought. Many people were desperate. When they heard that Li Zicheng was coming to kill corrupt officials and divide their fields, many people immediately responded proactively. They cooperated internally and externally, allowing Li Zicheng's troops to easily capture it. Leaving Lushi County.

This Lushi County belongs to Xiazhou, which is under the jurisdiction of Sanmenxia City in later generations, and belongs to Henan Prefecture.It is adjacent to Lingbao in the north, Luoning and Luanchuan in the east, Xixia in the south, and Luonan, Danfeng and Shangnan counties in Shaanxi in the southwest. The county seat is less than [-] miles away from Xiazhou.

The victory of the first battle made Li Zicheng's subordinates very happy. These leaders felt the importance of the people's hearts, and began to judge the county magistrate in public, as well as the wealthy households in the city. In the end, they all beheaded and robbed the rich households in the city. The granary even distributed part of the food as promised.

Listening to the praise of King Chuang from outside, everyone in the county government hall was very happy, as if they had forgotten the pressure of the encirclement and suppression by the army when they were in Shaanxi.

"Brother, I really have you. I didn't expect this trick to be so effective?" Liu Zongmin said excitedly to Li Zicheng, "According to this situation, we will probably have more teams than before!"

Those who cannot survive are defined as their own people; those who can survive are the corrupt officials and landlords they want to attack. Their own people can receive food, and corrupt officials and landlords are powerful, so they will rob them of food. Kill them, it's that simple!
Li Zicheng laughed after hearing this, he was indeed proud in his heart.The year in Shangluo Mountain was not in vain. He figured out this trick, and now it has proved to be effective.

This time, even Li Guo followed suit and said with admiration: "Uncle, in this way, we seem to be on the right track when we enter Henan. There is a lot of food here, and the population is also large. As long as the officers and soldiers deal with us later, we will wait until we grow stronger." After that, we will have the capital to deal with the officers and soldiers!"

"That's right, we should attack immediately, and then go and lay down a few more cities!" Yuan Zongdi was also beaming. It was the first time he felt that being a thief was actually welcomed by the people, which he had never encountered before. .

This time, each of them has a lot of subordinates. Although there are men, women, old and weak, but the number is large, and there will be strong men.According to their previous experience, as long as they fight a few more battles, the remaining people will be the elite of the army!
These people in the lobby are all overjoyed at their current achievements.However, they naturally didn't know that if it was in the original history, what they gained after entering Henan was much more than this plane.

In the original history, at this time, under Yang Sichang's proposal, the imperial court levied additional salary.With this name, the corrupt officials below took the opportunity to amass money, forcing another large number of people who could survive to be unable to survive.

These families who can last 12 years in Chongzhen generally have good living conditions, and many of them have studied.But if I can't survive, it doesn't matter whether I have read the book or not, the first thing I need to do is to solve my stomach.Therefore, starting from this year, some scholars began to join Li Zicheng's team.Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing, who are famous in history, became Li Zicheng's subordinates when he entered Henan this time.

But now, without training salary and levy, many common people can still survive, and the imperial army moved upon hearing the news, and it was even rumored that the imperial court personally conscripted.In the eyes of ordinary people, there is absolutely no way out for following the rebellion.Except for those who were already too hungry to survive, the common people would not take the initiative to follow Li Zicheng if they had any hope of surviving.

Although Emperor Chongzhen has not yet arrived in Henan, the butterfly effect has really affected it.

At this time, Li Zicheng was very happy to hear the compliments from his subordinates. Of course, he hoped that his team would grow bigger and bigger. Therefore, he immediately started discussing with them, what is the best place to attack next?

But at this moment, Gao Yigong, who was in charge of the sentry of their team, strode in with a serious face, and said solemnly to Li Zicheng who was sitting on the main seat: "Brother, the emperor is indeed on his own. Inquire about the news of the emperor's powerful team!"

Upon hearing this, the lively atmosphere just now suddenly froze.Everyone's faces suddenly became a little worried, and they all looked at Gao Yigong, the crow's mouth.
