Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 519 Strategy 1
The performance of the Ming army in this battle was really frightening. It earned Chongzhen enough face. In addition, now that the autumn grains are in the warehouse and taxes and money are being paid one after another, Chongzhen also has some money in his hands. Because of his unprecedented generosity, not only is he a meritorious general, No pull, all received the rewards they deserved, even ordinary soldiers, each received a five tael silver medal.There was no way. Although Chongzhen now had a little more money, the reward for the Ming army's beheading was as high as one million taels. If he was asked to spend so much money at once, he could not do anything but cast the silver into silver medals. , One tael is worth ten taels. To put it bluntly, this is not a silver reward, it is clearly a medal.

Although they failed to get all the rewards they deserved at one time, the Ming army was still quite satisfied. Their treatment was much better than that of the soldiers who resisted the Japanese and aided the dynasty. The Ming army fought bloody battles for eight years and finally In the battle at Lulianghai, the world was determined, and the Japanese pirates were killed and injured countless times, but in the end, every reward they could get was less than one tael. Now they get five taels, and they are content.The satisfied soldiers of the Ming army yelled "Long Live" so loudly that the envoys from various countries were astonished, and Chongzhen became more and more satisfied.

Rivers of blood flowed outside Xuanwu Gate, and all four thousand Manchurian warriors were beheaded, and the heads were built together with those of their colleagues who died in battle to form a Jingguan.Two years ago, the heads of more than 2000 people were built into a Beijing temple in Beijing, and it was regarded as a scene of Beijing. Now they have built a pile of ten times more spectacular!

The heads and armors of senior generals such as Yue Tuo and Du Du were brought to the Ancestral Temple for sacrifice. These two were the first generals of Houjin who were lucky enough to enter the Ancestral Temple. Unfortunately, only a head entered.

Someone suggested that the [-] newly attached Mongolian cavalry and [-] Sauron dead soldiers should also be cut down and built into a Jingguan. Chongzhen was so angry that he almost pushed out the [-] and chopped it down.Idiot, don't you know that doing things is not only about face, but also face?Don't you know that surrender and attachment are completely different things?Cut off this newly attached army, and then Jin would have to laugh in his dreams—this is clearly forcing the Mongols, Sauron's tribes, and the Han people to fight to the end with them!Therefore, it is said that the officials are really not doing enough, and they are more than failing, so they need to have a bird.Chongzhen's idea is that the eight thousand Mongolian cavalry Heluo Xinjun and Tianxiong Army each have four thousand points, and they will be trained into Lancers and Chasseurs, and let them fight for the Ming Dynasty———— Attacking barbarians with barbarians is considered blood Flowing into a river is also harmless to the Han Dynasty. The method passed down by the ancestors for more than two thousand years can be done by an idiot.Yang Menglong discussed with Lu Xiangsheng, and finally decided that Lu Xiangsheng would take away [-] Mongolian cavalry, and Yang Menglong would take [-], but the [-] Sauron dead soldiers would all belong to Yang Menglong.Sauron's dead soldiers are a formidable army, whether they are mountain soldiers or heavy infantry, they are extremely powerful. Isn't Yang Menglong planning to send troops to suppress the Huguang rebellion, these Sauron's dead soldiers can just come in handy.

On the contrary, it is difficult for the cavalry to be used in the mountains, forests and water networks of Huguang...

Due to the heavy casualties, the Sichuan Army temporarily returned to Sichuan to lick their wounds. At the same time, they also guarded the gate into Sichuan to prevent the Huguang rebels from entering Sichuan. The ability of these guys to cause trouble is so scary. A dozen people can fool the entire county. Tens of thousands of people rose up and let them go to Sichuan, Sichuan will not be turned upside down!
The officers and soldiers have been defeated repeatedly, and every time they are defeated—they threw down their weapons and ran to the rebels as soon as they faced each other. Famous cities such as Xiangfan, Jingzhou, and Wuhan were all lost, and the rebels had gathered millions of people. The crowd is spreading rapidly towards Changsha. The Huguang rebellion really cannot be delayed any longer and must be put down as soon as possible.And there are only one or two people who can put down the Huguang rebellion as soon as possible, and one of them has to help the court guard the Xuanda gate and stabilize the situation in the five northern provinces...

"I won't do it!"

When the atmosphere of the court meeting was getting heated, Yang Menglong suddenly said: "I don't want to be the governor of Huguang!"

The civil and military ministers all changed color, what kind of monster is this kid going to make?In the Ming Dynasty, there were too few examples of military generals becoming governors of any province. It took so long for this kind of thing to be spread out once, and it was so loud?

Chongzhen asked angrily and funny: "Yang Aiqing, why don't you want to be the governor of Huguang?"

Yang Menglong waved his arms angrily, and said: "No matter what kind of official I am, it is a loss-making business. From the commander of the Wuyang Guard to the commander of the Heluo Army, it has been like this. I almost lost all my money! Now I want to be an official. Governor of Huguang, how much do I have to pay for such a large piece of land? Don’t do it!”

The official said: "Champion Marquis, you are too presumptuous! Thunder, rain, and dew are all God's blessings. Is this official you can take if you want, and you can't take it if you don't want to?"

Yang Menglong glared at him: "Which temple are you? Are you here to speak? Shut your beak, or you will be killed!"

A group of speech officials were in an uproar, it was the first time they encountered a guy who dared to confront them in front of the emperor!Immediately, several of them jumped out together, pointing at Yang Menglong's nose and yelling, "Crazy! Crazy!"

Yang Menglong didn't waste any time. He picked up the ivory wand and slapped these guys on the face hard until blood splattered everywhere: "You sprayed saliva on my face! You poked my nose with your fingers! No!" Have you ever been told that it's rude to do this, huh? Huh? Huh?" He felt uncomfortable holding this thing in his hand, but it can be used to slap people... Hehe, it's called a smooth one, and it can be done with just one stroke. Make the other party dizzy for a long time!These bastards have often spoken ill of him in the court, and now they have the opportunity, of course they want to beat him to death!
The speech officials were both shocked and angry, wishing they could jump up and fight this bastard!But Yang Menglong is not the little eunuch who was once beaten to death by their peers. This is the evil star who cut off tens of thousands of heads on the battlefield. If they dare to go up, this bastard will definitely beat them until they can't get out of bed for a year!So, let's bear it, they still have to keep their strength of character to show off in front of the emperor, it won't be worthwhile for this stunned young man to break his bones.

Chongzhen slapped the table and shouted: "Champion Hou, you are too presumptuous!" He seemed to have a stern voice, but there was a smile on his lips and his hands were twitching?It seems that he also wants to go down and slap those officials.

Yang Menglong stopped quickly and said: "The emperor forgives the sin, these guys are really annoying, and the minister just got angry today and has no place to vent, so I vented a little on them, forgive the sin !"

Chongzhen suddenly changed his expression: "Who is so brave and dares to offend my champion?"

Yang Menglong said with a mournful face: "Who else is there, that female bandit Hong Niangzi! Look at your face, she has stretched it, and this hair, she has twisted like a chicken coop!"

Many ministers wanted to laugh but did not dare to laugh, holding back quite hard.Chongzhen coughed, and said, "It doesn't seem right for the court to tell the court about the matter between you and that female bandit, doesn't it? Come on, stop making trouble, don't go too far! Tell me, what do you want before you are willing to be an official?" This Huguang governor?"

The words "Stop making trouble" meant that the beating of the officials was in vain, and they were so angry that they burst into tears.However, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty squinted at the dome, and none of them paid any attention to them.But among all the ministers with real power in their hands, which one has not been bullied by these officials?Seeing someone giving these birdies a good beating in public, they couldn't help but vent their anger. Whether they were Yang Menglong's friends or his political opponents, they all secretly gave a thumbs up and said in their hearts: "Well done! I I've been thinking of doing this for a long time!"

Yang Menglong said angrily: "I can't be the governor of Huguang! Huguang is not a prosperous place in the first place, and such a commotion has become chaotic. There are millions of Huguang rebels. You won't even have a bubble, so how can you be it? Your majesty, you'd better choose someone else!"

Chongzhen shouted: "What a bastard! If there are still talents, do I need you?"

This is the truth.During this period, the officers and soldiers also fought against the Huguang rebels many times, but they were defeated every time. The discipline of the Huguang rebels was strict, their combat power was strong, and their fighting spirit was so frenzied that every leading Ming army general was terrified. liver mutton.The most frightening thing is that this group of rebels seems to have demonic methods, which can always disturb their morale in a very short period of time, causing hundreds of their troops to defect, and the originally weak guard soldiers ran over there It is really puzzling, anyway, all the generals that Chongzhen can call out have admitted that they have no choice but to rely on Yang Menglong to take the Huguang rebels.

Seeing that Yang Menglong still wanted to talk, Chongzhen took out his trump card: "Don't forget, you have already promised me!"

Yang Menglong called: "When did I agree!?"

Chongzhen was confident and confident: "There are official historians' records to prove it!"

The official historian took out the booklet and read: "On a certain day in a certain year, the Emperor, Champion Hou, and Su Yihou had a banquet in the Imperial Garden, entrusted the affairs of Huguang to the Champion, and the Champion generously agreed..."

Yang Menglong scratched his head and muttered: "Have I promised?"

Lu Xiangsheng said seriously: "You really agreed, Champion Hou. I remember it clearly."

Chongzhen said: "The queen can also testify!"

Yang Menglong shouted: "I was drunk at that time!"

Chongzhen said: "I don't care about this. Anyway, if I agree, I agree!"

Wen Tiren and the others silently rolled their eyes, you guys are addicted to oboe singing, right?Don't keep ignoring our existence, okay?We are not dead yet!
Yang Menglong was helpless: "Okay, although I don't remember very clearly, but if I agree, I will admit it... But the emperor has to agree to a few conditions!"

Chongzhen said in his heart: "As long as you are willing to be the governor... ten times the money and grain, ten times the money and grain!" He did not forget that Yang Menglong once said that if he is allowed to govern Huguang, Huguang can hand it over Money and grain are at least ten times what they are now.He just gave a discount, five times, no, three times, three times more money and food, how much help to the country!This Qian Chuanzi got up his spirits and said, "Please speak, champion!"

Yang Menglong said: "First: The Huguang rebels have a large number of troops and powerful combat power. It is unrealistic to exterminate them. I want to suppress them and use them together. I hope the court will not interfere!"

Chongzhen said: "Yes. The matter of exterminating the rebels in Huguang is at the discretion of Aiqing, and I just ask!"

Yang Menglong said: "Second: This rebellion almost uprooted the Huguang officials and gentry, and the losses were extremely heavy. If you want to restore Huguang's vitality in the shortest time, you must use some extraordinary means and extraordinary talents. Officials above the prefect of Huguang must On the recommendation of my minister, the imperial court shall not send people to Huguang within three years!”

Wen Tiren drank: "Bold! Are you trying to separate yourself!?"

Yang Menglong snorted coldly: "I don't want a separatist regime. I only know that some guys make him unable to do things, but they are very good at making trouble. I don't want the situation that has finally stabilized to be messed up by a few bugs!"

Many military generals screamed in their hearts: "Idol! You have spoken out our feelings!" They had had enough of those civil servants who only caused trouble. They just dared to be angry and dare not speak out. Now Yang Menglong said it out in public, shouting How could they not worship?
Chongzhen said: "Huguang is the granary of the Ming Dynasty. It is of great importance. The top priority is to quickly destroy the rebels and stabilize the situation. It is understandable that the champion has to use some extraordinary means. I agree!"

Yang Menglong said: "Third: I want to build a shipyard in Wuhan, and build a large number of factories to provide employment opportunities for the landless refugees..."

Chongzhen said: "I agree!"

Wang Yingxiong fell to the ground, kowtowed again and again, and cried out sadly: "Your Majesty, absolutely not!"
