Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 260 The Discussion of the Remaining Thieves
When Emperor Chongzhen saw this, he couldn't help worrying about Turge's fate. He wondered how Huang Taiji would punish him after he returned to Liaodong?The sacrifice of Tumote's troops and giving Daming so many livestock, especially war horses, and even rare military supplies, this "credit" is also great enough!

I hope that Huang Taiji will be merciful, otherwise it will be a pity for the "Grade A wiretapping seed" on Turg.

After reading this, Emperor Chongzhen scanned the bug seeds on other people again.He found that Sun Chuanting, the governor of Jiliao who was stationed at Shanhaiguan, seemed to have begun to implement his administrative measures after a few months of peace, that is, the policy of "clearing the village and paying the wages".

The reason why he waited so long to start was that Sun Chuanting seemed to be a little scruples about the ancestral power headed by Zu Dashou.It doesn't matter, let him continue to do it, anyway, he has himself to back him up, let's see what Zu Dashou can do!
Emperor Chongzhen thought so, and went to see Lu Xiangsheng again.

There wasn't much to do here. Lu Xiangsheng had been busy with military affairs such as shipyards and training soldiers. Most of the civil affairs were handed over to his deputy, Governor of Denglai, Chen Hongxu.

Seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen was a little depressed. He didn't know what was going on with Zheng Zhilong. If he was really ignorant, he would definitely fight. But in this way, it would cost countless money and food, and delay the reconstruction of Dongjiang Town. plan.Without Dongjiang Town to contain the Qing Dynasty, they might have to bypass the Mongolian grasslands to invade the pass again in winter.

Although the bandits have basically been suppressed now, and the army has also been greatly improved, they are not afraid of fighting a good battle with the Manchu army.However, if the battlefield is in the pass, it will be very unfavorable to the recovery of people's livelihood in the pass.In particular, if the Manchu Qing army avoids the main forces of the three major battalions and instead attacks other places, the impact on the people's livelihood in the pass will be even greater.

If possible, Emperor Chongzhen would never want another war to happen in the pass.

Calculated in the bottom of my heart, if Zheng Zhilong left after receiving his secret decree, no matter how late, he should arrive in Denglai within a month, right?
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen decided to wait another month. Anyway, he just defeated the bandits here, and there are still many things to do. It may take another month anyway.

For example, in the next few days, there must be thieves fleeing.In this way, the soldiers and horses on the outside approached inward, and the soldiers and horses here went out to search and arrest, squeezing the space for the rogues.

The next step is to resettle the ordinary bandits, at least to ensure that they can survive so that they will not continue to rebel.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but frown, because according to Chen Qiyu's Class A bugging seeds, the food delivery in Jiangnan and other places had not been completed as planned, at least Chen Qiyu didn't receive much food.

Now that the great war is over, the urgency of the food problem is a bit high.It's also because of myself that I am here, so I have to press the order again, and if there is a problem, I have to solve it immediately.

Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about one thing after another, relatively speaking, he was relatively free.But at this time, on the mountain deep in Wollongong, many thieves were fleeing.

This area is actually the Nanyang Basin, and there are no high mountains to hide from. Therefore, they must continue to flee, either going south or north. If they can escape to Wudang Mountain, or even Daba Mountain a little further away, it is definitely impossible for the officers and soldiers to catch them. Here they are.Or Laojun Mountain, that is, the Funiu Mountains, is okay, and even if they escape to Qinling, that would be the best, and the officers and soldiers would never want to catch them again.

However, the officers and soldiers were clearly aware of this, and the teams of ground cavalry troops searched and arrested these places as much as possible, cutting off traffic and preventing them from escaping.

Tired all day during the day, and running so far in the dark at night, these thieves finally stopped to rest.

Seeing the bright moon in the sky covered by dark clouds and the earth plunged into darkness, a thief couldn't help scolding his mother, looked up at the sky, and cursed in a low voice: "God thief, even you are falling into trouble, even a little moonlight!" If you don’t give it, it won’t give us a way to survive, right?”

There was no moonlight, and they didn't dare to travel with torches. It was pitch black, so they couldn't travel at all.Once it was daytime, the imperial cavalry was hunting around, and it was simply impossible for them to escape.Therefore, this thief is also in a hurry, and even the thief God scolded him.

As soon as someone scolded people here, there was movement from the mountain not far away, and someone shouted in a low voice: "A tiger, is that you?"

The one who cursed just now is Li Zicheng's nephew, Li Guo, who is known as a tiger.When he heard the voice, after distinguishing it for a while, he couldn't help saying with a little surprise: "Gao Yigong?"

The person over there was none other than Li Zicheng's general Gao Yigong. After confirming it, he was also happy and hurried over to join him.But they looked at each other, there were only more than 20 people in total. Thinking of so many people before, and Li Zicheng's head being chopped off by Zuo Liangyu, they couldn't help feeling very depressed, and fell silent for a while.

At this moment, a young voice suddenly came from a nearby mountain: "But King Chuang's subordinates? We are the foster sons of the Eight Great Kings!"

Li Guo and others listened and responded.No matter what happened in the past, at this time they are all brothers and sisters, not to mention, there is really a slight surprise in my heart.

After a while, Zhang Xianzhong's adopted sons brought someone to touch them, and then reported their names one by one, namely Zhang Kewang, Zhang Dingguo, Zhang Wenxiu and Zhang Nengqi, the four most famous among Zhang Xianzhong's adopted sons.

They found that the other party was actually similar to their side, there were only a dozen or twenty people left, and they were all silent for a while.The youngest Zhang Nengqi couldn't help crying softly when he thought of the past.

Hearing the sound of crying, an equally young voice suddenly cursed: "Cry, cry a ball, what's so hard about it, you'll die, and you'll be a good man again in 18 years!"

"Laiheng, shut up!" As soon as Li Guo heard it, he knew it was his adopted son Li Laiheng who was talking, so he scolded him, and then asked in the darkness opposite: "The eighth king was also killed by the left thief. It's a big victory, what are you going to do in the future?"

Zhang Kewang was the oldest, and when he heard a tiger questioning him, he replied, "If we can escape, we plan to change our surname back and go back to our hometown to have a look."

Speaking of this, he might be afraid of misunderstanding, so he quickly added: "But we will definitely avenge our foster father and cut that left thief to pieces!"

Hearing this, Li Laiheng suddenly sneered and said: "That's a good idea! You still want to escape back, didn't you hear? The officers and soldiers shouted, kill for the sake of peace, do you know what this means?"

"The imperial court thinks that we caused chaos in the world, so they want to kill us all!" Zhang Dingguo, who should be called Li Dingguo at this time, immediately replied to Li Laiheng, "So they will definitely hunt us down and kill us all, right?"

Hearing this, Gao Yigong suddenly interjected angrily in a low voice: "Is this what we want to rebel? It's the imperial court that forced us to survive! The emperor is incompetent, corrupt officials are rampant, and there is a severe drought." , Severe drought, severe drought, and locust plague, locust plague, locust plague, they all turned a blind eye, and forced us to pay land taxes, and even added Liao pay, selling children and daughters, and selling us all, it was not enough to pay This money, when it comes to this, can we not rebel?"

"Emperor Dog, Officer Dog, there is nothing good!" Li Laiheng immediately cursed in a low voice after hearing this, "I will go back and continue working, kill Officer Dog, Emperor Dog, kill them all!"

When Li Guo heard it, he yelled again in a low voice: "Shut up, I'm old at such a young age, who are you calling me in front of?"

He is Li Laiheng's adoptive father, after such a training, Li Laiheng shut up.

However, Li Guo was moved by what they said, so he said in a low voice: "Nowadays, there is no way for ordinary people to live in this world. Local people live in incognito, but with the dog emperor around and those corrupt officials rampant, in the end, we will definitely have to rebel!"

Hearing this, Sun Kewang nodded, and immediately remembered that the other party couldn't see him in the dark night, so he said in a low voice: "That's right, when the adoptive father was in Gucheng, he was made things difficult by those dog officials, saying that the adoptive father usually robs I bought so much gold, silver and jewels, and asked my adoptive father for them. The court is incompetent, the dog emperor does not distinguish right from wrong, and does not argue between loyalty and evil. There is no way for ordinary people to survive in this world!"

These people are all thieves, so they naturally sit on the side of the thieves. When they said these words, they naturally ignored the harm they brought to the people of the world.

Hearing this, Li Dingguo sighed, and whispered old-fashionedly: "In this world, there is no good official who really puts the common people at ease!"

After saying this, for a while, no one spoke again, and the mountain forest fell silent.

At this time, they realized that the wind seemed to be blowing stronger than before, making the mountains and forests rattle.

Gao Yigong looked up at the night sky and couldn't help cursing: "Oh my god, it looks like it's going to rain!"

I ran for my life in a hurry, and I was already hungry. If it rained again, even though it was August, it would be very uncomfortable if it rained at night.

After a while of silence, Li Guo suddenly said in a low voice: "If you want me to say, since the government doesn't give us a way to live, then we can find a way to live by ourselves. Just like what my uncle said, the land is equalized and the tax is exempted, so that the common people have something to look forward to. Will hope we win, maybe we can make a comeback!"

"A tiger, do you still believe this?" Gao Yigong couldn't help saying with a bit of hatred when he heard this: "What about Song Xiance who lied to ghosts? He also said that King Chuang is the eighteenth son and the master of the artifact! Don't think, you It's also surnamed Li, so it's on your head!"

When Li Guo heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly explained in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense, when did I think about it that way? That Song Xiance is a charlatan, and he doesn't know where he is now. When he sees him later, he will kill him." Chop him up!"

After explaining, he picked up the topic again and said, "What I said just now, if you think about it again, if the disasters in various places are serious and the big guys can't survive, we tell them that if you follow us, you can even out." Tian Mianfu, if it were you, would you like to do it together?"

"Of course, I can't survive anyway, so I have to gamble my life!" Gao Yigong replied after thinking for a while.

On the other side, Li Dingguo suddenly interjected and said: "If I can't survive, I will definitely follow suit. If you don't rebel, you will die, and if you rebel, you will die. But no matter what, if you rebel, you can live for a few more days. Maybe you will die." If the rebellion is successful, there will be land to divide and no need to pay taxes, how wonderful that would be!"

These thieves are obviously not as knowledgeable as the older people that day. It is impossible to continue the land equalization and exemption of taxes, otherwise the new emperor and his government can't all farm by themselves, right?

But at this time, they, the rogues, all echoed this statement.I feel that people in the world will not be able to survive. Now that I have such a hope, I will definitely follow suit.

Speaking of later, even Li Guo didn't expect that their morale had recovered a lot.He could clearly feel that everyone had the fighting spirit again.

Sure enough, after being excited for a while, Sun Kewang, as the boss, hesitated for a moment and said: "Then...then we won't go back, let's get together and do it again!"

"I agree!" Li Dingguo agreed without hesitation.

"I am willing!" Liu Wenxiu immediately followed suit, and even the youngest Ai Nengqi did not cry sadly, but said with a little excitement: "Kill the dog official again, kill the dog emperor!"

The two parties, about [-] people, decided on the future direction in this way.After discussing in low voices for a while, they decided to use a tiger Li Guo as the leader and continue to provoke people to rebel after escaping.

Li Guo looked at the night sky and found that there were dark clouds and the mountain wind was blowing more urgently, so he said in a low voice: "It seems that there must be rain before dawn. I hope this rain will last longer, so that it will be easier for us to escape from the prison. The army's pursuit!"

Having said that, he ordered those present to hold hands and move forward in the dark, and move as soon as possible.

Speaking of which, it is not uncommon for these rogues to spend their days on the run like this.Therefore, after accepting his current situation, he adapted quickly.

They followed Li Guo's instructions, hand in hand, and started to move forward in the dark. Even if the person in the front stepped on the ground, or fell off the cliff or something, the person behind would hold them back, and everything would be fine.

Just like that, they continued to flee.

By the time the sky in the east showed a faint white belly, Li Guo and the bandits had already touched the top of a mountain again, and it was almost the foot of the mountain.Taking advantage of this opportunity, they must transfer as soon as possible.Although the Imperial Cavalry is here, there is very little hope of them escaping, but no matter what, they must try to escape.

Li Guo thought about it for a while, with the help of the slight morning light, when he was about to speak, he suddenly saw the person in front of him shaking, and he himself felt untenable.
