The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 180 The secret report that made the Emperor Ming anxious
The Ming Emperor Ji Zhengde has ruled this huge empire for 27 years. During these 27 years, he has exhausted all his energy to govern this huge empire.

It's a pity that the Ming Empire has reached the end of its life after staggering forward for more than 200 years. All his efforts can't bring the empire back to life, but can only delay the empire's demise and let it linger on.

Ji Zhengde knew very well in his heart that the huge empire left to him by his ancestors had long since rotted from the root, and even if the great ancestor was resurrected, he would not be able to recover.

Internal and external troubles, natural disasters and man-made disasters, there are Manchu Qing cavalry constantly knocking on the side, inside there are rogues ravaging the world, frequent droughts, locust plagues, floods, earthquakes in various places, every occurrence makes this crumbling empire even more towards extinction One step closer.

In the first half of the year, when the rogue bandits were so powerful, there was a tendency for soldiers to point directly at the capital. At that time, he almost thought that he was going to be the king of subjugation, and he even wrote the will.

Fortunately, God saw him, and sent him Yuan Chonghuan, who was brave, resourceful, and brave to do things.Under Yuan Chonghuan's command and dispatch, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, the two largest bandits that no one can be in the world, were trapped in the mountains of Shangluo, lingering on their last legs.

Seeing that the most troublesome problem of bandits was about to subside, Ji Zhengde felt that his dragon body, which was plagued by illness, was much more energetic and his appetite improved a lot.

He even favored a court lady who served him one night.You must know that in the past two years, he has never favored any concubine, let alone a court lady. This incident caused people in the palace to discuss in private, saying that the emperor had a second love.

But before the issue of the rogue bandits was completely settled, the Tartars in Liaodong were restless and sent troops to attack Datong City.Although I don't know the reason, the attack failed for two days, and finally withdrew in a hurry.

But this incident made Emperor Daming, who had just been in a good mood for a few days, get angry again, and anxiously transferred Yuan Chonghuan, who had placed high hopes on him, to Liaodong again, hoping that he could pacify the Tartars in Liaodong just like he pacified the rogues.

Moreover, Yuan Chonghuan himself also vowed to issue a military order, saying that he could pacify the Liao Dynasty in five years.The merits of suppressing the rogues made Ji Zhengde feel that the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were all idiots, and Yuan Chonghuan was the only one in the world who could be trusted, so he added various officials to Yuan Chonghuan and personally sent him to Datong at Deshengmen. That honor is truly unique in the world this one.

Yuan Chonghuan went to Liaodong for two months. Although there was no news of success, the matter of the bandits finally had a result.Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong all surrendered, and the army of suppressing bandits had already returned to their own provinces. Except for Liaodong, the whole world seemed to be so peaceful all of a sudden.

This made Ji Zhengde feel relieved all of a sudden, and the smiles are obviously more these days.Although all kinds of natural disasters and man-made disasters are still being sent from all over the place, but in Ji Zhengde's view, these are not important.

As long as the rogues are pacified, and Yuan Chonghuan spends another five years to pacify Liaodong, he will be in a better mood, and maybe he can live another ten years or so.

As long as the inside and outside are peaceful and no major incidents happen, Ji Zhengde believes that he will be able to let the Ming Empire continue to pass on, at least he can completely hand it over to his descendants while he is alive.

But a secret report sent by Jin Yiwei two days ago made him start to mutter again.

According to the report of Xu Xianchun, the Commander of the Jinyiwei, this secret report was secretly reported by Shen Lian, a thousand households of the Qianhu Office of the Jinyiwei Datong, through the passage of the Jinyiwei.

The content of the secret report is that an anti-Qing rebel army appeared in Liaodong. This rebel army was very brave and fought against the Tartars several times. Moreover, it attacked Liaoyang City by surprise, briefly regaining Liaoyang, which had been lost by the Ming army for five years, and finally forced the Tartars who were attacking Datong City to withdraw their troops.

Moreover, when the Tartars went south, this rebel army gathered around to protect the people of Liaodong, so that the people would not be slaughtered and plundered by the Tartars.

The Tartars became enraged and dispatched [-] troops under the leadership of Prince Rui Duoduo to encircle and suppress this rebel army.Under the leadership of its leader, Jiang Chuan, the rebel army conquered the Tartar army, captured the Tartar general Obai alive and tortured him with chariots to relieve public anger, and finally forced the Tartars to withdraw.This defeat made the Tartars internally unstable, and the Mongolian ministries and North Korea began to move around. The Tartars were busy stabilizing the interior, so they were unable to go south.

Moreover, this rebel army raised its own food and grass, and built its own weapons and armor, all of which were pulled together by its leader, Jiang Chuan, after spending all his wealth.Moreover, the volunteer army had strict discipline, benevolence and love for the people, and did not plunder any common people. The name of benevolence and righteousness was praised by the common people.

Moreover, Jiang Chuan, the leader of the rebel army, always acted in the name of the Son of Heaven whenever he rescued the people.Jiang Chuan repeatedly mentioned that he wanted to serve the country wholeheartedly and wanted to fight for the country, but because he had no way to serve the country, he had to spend all his wealth to organize a rebel army to fight against the tyranny of the Manchu Tartars.

Seeing this, the Emperor Ming excitedly patted the imperial case and shouted that he is a righteous man.

If there were more righteous men with the imperial court in mind like this, why would the rogue Tartars worry about injustice, and why would the world worry about instability.

Seeing this, Ji Zhengde has already developed a love for talents.In this troubled world, what he lacks most now is talents who can fight.Now this talent is in front of his eyes.

Moreover, this talent is dedicated to serving the country. Knowing the difficulties of the court, he does not ask the court for a single cent of money, and spends all his wealth to build a rebel army. This kind of mind is rare in the world.

The most rare thing is that every time he protects the people, he does it in the name of himself, the Ming emperor, so that the people can appreciate the emperor's kindness and the kindness of the court. This kind of righteous man who is not greedy for merit and does not seek fame is really unparalleled in the world.

This can almost be called a national scholar, Ji Zhengde praised in his heart.

But seeing the end of the secret report made him frown.

The secret report said that Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Datong, became jealous after hearing the name of the rebel army, falsely accused him of being a bandit, and asked the leader of the rebel army, Jiang Chuan, to surrender himself, but Jiang Chuan angrily refused.

Therefore, Governor Yuan decided to lead troops to encircle and suppress the rebels. The people of Datong have already discussed this matter, and they all complained about the rebels.My minister Shen Lian is afraid that something bad will happen, which will chill the heart of those who serve the country and the people of the world, so I will report the whole story to Your Majesty, please make a decision in time, so as not to cause the disaster of Xiao Qiang and be taken advantage of by the Tartars!
Seeing this, although Ji Zhengde didn't believe it a little, but when he thought that the Governor Yuan whom he trusted was indeed not a broad-minded person, it was not impossible for this kind of thing to happen.

One is an anti-Qing righteous man, and the other is the Daming Supervisor whom he trusts deeply. These two are about to fight, and the only one who can stop him now is himself, the emperor.

But how to stop training?For a moment he couldn't make up his mind.

When a person is old, many times he is not as decisive and clear as he was when he was young.

"Send a few college students from the cabinet to Dongnuange to discuss matters." The emperor thought for a while, and then ordered to the eunuch Wang Cheng'en, who was serving at the side.

　The fourth update arrived, but it still didn't arrive before zero o'clock.My back is sore and I can hardly keep my eyes open.As the grades get older, my body is getting weaker and weaker, and I can't stay up late.The agreed fifth update seems to have been broken later, and I will make it up tomorrow morning.Good night, brothers, happy National Day!
