Zuo Liangyu rode on the horse and looked at the corpses nailed to the wooden frames on both sides. There were many military generals he knew inside. From a distance, the wooden frames on both sides seemed to be invisible. The sky was clear and the sun was in front of him, but the avenue was full of yin energy, like a ghost realm.

Zuo Liangyu's army was completely in a state of raging momentum, and the entire team moved forward silently, but its pace was getting slower and slower. Zuo Liangyu, surrounded by personal soldiers, was still calm at first. After walking not far, Zuo Liangyu immediately started to look towards both sides with a very small amplitude, a little uneasy.

After almost three miles, the entire team was squirming rather than moving forward. Whether it was front and back, they looked around, and everyone had a look of fear on their faces. At first, someone whispered, and the officers had to scold loudly, but later, the noise of the entire team became increasingly uncontrollable.

The buzzing sound echoed throughout the team, but I wanted to hear what I was saying carefully, but I couldn't hear it clearly. Such a scene, combined with the surrounding yin energy, seemed even more wrong.

In fact, the entire team is moving forward with Zuo Liangyu's horses. Zuo Liangyu's horses are also walking very slowly. After walking out for about three miles, Zuo Liangyu also stopped his mount. The flesh on his cheeks twitched a few times, coughed a few times, and said loudly:

"Then Li Chuang is still in Nanyang Prefecture. Our troops should put this first priority. We must not act irresponsibly, which will delay the major affairs of the court!"

The words were righteous and stern. Several trusted generals next to them agreed with the repeated statements that "the general puts state affairs first, and is really generous." "This Li Chuang is the great enemy of our army and the local government. First, destroy the thieves, and then talk about Shandong." "The general is wise..."

After hearing these words, Zuo Liangyu's face was always a little nicer and said loudly:

"The whole army obeys the order and returns to Kaifeng!!"

The subordinates all agreed loudly, and the entire army immediately turned, which was much faster than when they were moving forward just now.

They walked not far. If they followed this road to the Zhaopizhai Ferry, they could still see a huge wooden sign with several large characters that had turned purple and black, "If you are harmed by soldiers, you will be wary of animals."

In May of the 14th year of Chongzhen, Wang Shaoyu and Zheng Chongjian were beheaded and abandoned the market in the capital for the crime of losing their relatives. Among them, Wang Shaoyu was indeed responsible. During the day, the soldiers under his command rebelled and clamored, causing the Luoyang city gate to be opened, allowing the soldiers and horses to break into the camp to take advantage of the situation, but King Fu was trapped.

Zheng Chongjian was completely unfair. Since Zheng Chongjian led the troops of three sides of Shaanxi, he won more than defeated Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng's troops. However, after defeating Zhang Xianzhong in the Avon Mountain, he had different opinions with the commander Yang Sichang. Zheng Chongjian was also aware of it. He knew that if he didn't deal with Yang Sichang, he would be extremely dangerous in the court, so he simply resigned and returned to his hometown.

Although he thought that he was resigning from office, Yang Sichang did not let him go and reported that Zheng Chongjian was resentful of Emperor Chongzhen's decision and had disrespectful words.

Emperor Chongzhen had always been obedient to the supervisor Yang Sichang and had a stubborn personality. When he heard the other party’s memorial, he was immediately furious and imprisoned Zheng Chongjian.

When Yang Sichang committed suicide because of his deceased, Emperor Chongzhen was furious, but he remembered that Zheng Chongjian had resentment towards the court that day. Moreover, although the battle in Agate Mountain was a great victory, Zhang Xianzhong was not wiped out. As a result, he entered Xiangyang at night and King Xiang fell.

In the final analysis, Emperor Chongzhen wanted to attribute this crime to Zheng Chongjian and kill him to vent his anger...

This time, the Henan Governor, General and other civil and military officials, as well as the Shandong Governor, General, said that the fall of Luoyang and the killing of King Fu was not the responsibility of Henan civil and military officials, but the responsibility of the five provinces led by Yang Sichang, the commander of Luo Rucai's troops, led by the army and horses of the five provinces.

If the troops of the five provinces were effectively surrounded, how could Li Zicheng travel from Sichuan to Henan? To this uncontrollable scale today, and the treacherous troops entered Henan, most of the troops in Henan were suppressing the bandits in Huguang and Sichuan. The troops were empty and people took advantage of the situation, which led to such a disaster.

Henan Governor Li Xianfeng and General Chen Yongfu, with nine thousand troops, siege by tens of thousands of elite troops, persisted until the reinforcements arrived and defeated the reinforcements. This was a great contribution.

Although the officialdom outside spread the story of Emperor Chongzhen's extremely wise and wise, he distinguished right from wrong and did not blame the meritorious ministers. However, some people in the capital who had a close relationship with the inner court rumored that the memorial from Henan was placed on the desk of Emperor Chongzhen that day, although Emperor Chongzhen was in a good mood at the time.

But after reading this memorial, he was furious and swept all the things on the desk to the ground. However, the eunuch who was attending the inner court spoke:

"If the civil and military officials in Henan Province only report the memorial, it can be considered a resignation of elimination, but the governor of Shandong and the general report together, they are just the guest troops in the rescue area and have no interest in Henan, which must be a fair statement."

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen's anger became weaker, thinking that it was true that Henan's troops were empty, either being transferred to defend the Tartars in Northern Zhili, or pursuing the rebels and Zhang Xianzhong in Huguang and Sichuan.

Then the next day in the court, the cabinet scholar and a minister came out to talk, saying that the situation in Kaifeng City was so critical, while the Henan Governor and General forced the powerful enemy to retreat and defeated the thieves to the southern part of Henan, which was equivalent to revitalizing the entire Central Plains.

Such a critical situation and such good consequences are rewarded. However, Luoyang City lost its relative vassal, and as a minister in Henan, he was guilty of any crime. Therefore, he gave up his merits and demerits, so he issued a few words of encouragement.

Emperor Chongzhen was stubborn and obeyed the words of civil officials. This was a very strange contradiction. Perhaps Emperor Tianqi's credit for Wei Zhongxian had a counterproductive effect on him, but the power in the court, the nobles and military generals lost all the losses in the Tumu Fort Incident, and those who could speak were civil officials and eunuchs.

In this court, Emperor Chongzhen was unwilling to listen to eunuchs, so he could only listen to the opinions of civil officials, but both groups of people received heavy gifts.

Shandong Governor Yan Jizu was in the center and served as the most important position of the cardinal - the Ministry of Personnel. He was quite clear about these activities in the court. Henan gathered a large sum of silver. After his guidance, it was effective to give it to someone and when it should be given to someone.

Emperor Chongzhen always thought that he was distinguishing right from wrong, and his subordinates must be grateful.

In fact, many people in the world felt something was wrong with this memorial. Since Chongzhen ascended the throne, no matter how stubborn and reckless the emperor was, he was a dictatorial and arbitrary person on the stage.

Whether he listened to slander and was confused, the rewards and punishments of the ministers below were determined by his intentions. Although the opponent held military power and was scruples, he was extremely respectful in his face. But this time, the local governors and generals jointly wrote a letter to defend themselves. The court only rebuked a few words without any punishment. There was no punishment, and the direction of this trend may have changed a little.

This matter may be very important, but the people of the world glanced at it and quickly rushed outside the pass. At the end of April, the Qing army marched into Jinzhou.

Jinzhou was the only stronghold outside Shanhaiguan. Without this lonely city, the Ming Dynasty's defense line could only shrink to the Shanhaiguan line. If Shanhaiguan was opened, the Qing cavalry could drive straight into the North China Plain and approach the capital.

Jinzhou outside the pass must be rescued. Before Emperor Chongzhen issued an order, the governor of Ji Liao, Hong Chengchou, had already started to mobilize troops from Jizhen to prepare to go out of the pass to rescue.

The execution of Zheng Chongjian, Xiong Wencan, Sun Chuanting was killed in the imperial prison, and there were also governors and ministers from all over the country were either guilty or killed. Emperor Chongzhen was surprised to find that no one was available. Now the one who replaced Yang Sichang to supervise the army and suppress the thieves was Ding Qirui who did not understand military affairs at all. Many people had expected his failure before Ding Qirui rushed to Huguang.

The helpless Emperor Chongzhen could only release Fu Zonglong, the Minister of War who was arrested and imprisoned at the beginning of the year, and sent him to Shaanxi to collect border soldiers.

On May 18th, Li Meng led his troops to Jining Prefecture. Li Meng disembarked in Jining, while the rest of the troops had to return to his base by water and land.

The soldiers of Jiaozhou Camp who returned from Henan were already very different than before leaving. Although there were not many fierce battles, these soldiers who were trained hard were bloody and cruel in the battlefield, and their hands were more or less stained with the enemy's blood, which was extremely important to them.

This experience was extremely important to them. After these cruelty and bloody, these young and strong farmers who had been trained in military became real soldiers.

Moreover, this battle was first to fight against the rebel army that was rampant in the Central Plains, and the opponent was unable to fight back. The other was to fight against Zuo Liangyu's army, which was known as the powerful army of the Ming Dynasty, and killed thousands of people in the chopping melons and vegetable fields.

Fighting with these two armies is a great victory with absolute advantage. This gives these recruits who are almost on the battlefield for the first time.

Li Meng stayed in Jining Prefecture, of course, not to enjoy the prosperity of the richest man in Shandong. Instead, he was waiting for someone who was a great enemy in Henan, the leader of the thieves in eastern Henan who were as famous as "Lao Dangdang" and "Song Jiang" and others.

According to the official article, it is the Henan bandit Li Zhenhai and his gang who were moved by loyalty and righteousness and were unwilling to fight against Tianwei. They led the crowd to surrender. Based on the geography, Shandong General Li Meng accepted the reorganization as appropriate.

In fact, Li Zhenhai and his group had long been under the jurisdiction of Chen Liu. After Chen Liu led his army into Huainan, they were directly under the jurisdiction of Li Meng.

Li Zhenhai's real name is Jia, and his name is Jia Dashan. He is a powerful man in Tuocheng and rural areas. He is a rampant character. However, he has a local concept. The Jia family is a big family in the local area, so he belongs to the local tyrant in the area south of Guide Prefecture.

There was a great disaster in Henan, and there were chaos everywhere. Jia Dashan first gathered people to build villages and organized people to protect themselves. As a result, the county magistrate of Tuocheng District was confused and reported to Guide Mansion that it was Jia Dashan who deliberately made a rebellion.

The Jia family is omnipresent in Tuocheng, and the relationship is intricate. Before the reported documents have been out of Tuocheng, Jia Dashan knew the content. Jia Dashan was a ruthless character, and knew that the county magistrate was afraid that he was greedy for his family property. Even if he avoided this time, he would be in trouble in the future.

As a result, Jia Dashan led his men to open Tuocheng County, killed the county magistrate, and gathered people to cause trouble. Since he had done the decapitation of the clan, this name was not needed, and he changed Li Zhenhai's pseudonym.

His group of people are different from refugees from other parts of Henan. They are militia organizations organized by gentry and landlords. The people and strong people are all locals and have a strong sense of preserving the land.

The repeated official attacks were defeated by Li Zhenhai. It was not a matter of strength, but Li Zhenhai was originally a local snake in Guide Mansion. Every time the officers and soldiers entered the attack, half of the soldiers were familiar, so where could they continue to fight.

Because Li Zhenhai protected the Guide Mansion area, he could guarantee barely stability. As a result, many people came to join him, and gradually they became a large force with more than ten thousand people.

The threat Li Zhenhai was not to the officers and soldiers, but to other refugee forces in Henan, Song Jiang, Lao Dangdang, Lao Yuanying, Yilong, all of them had tens of thousands of refugees, and they had captured a lot of refugees, plundered a lot of them, and ate all the savings in this place, and then looked for the next target.

Li Zhenhai's subordinates were tenants and civilians who could barely maintain them. They had to farm the fields and support their families on weekdays, but the two gangs had fundamental conflicts. Li Zhenhai was at a clear disadvantage.

Guide Prefecture is close to Yanzhou Prefecture, Shandong. I don’t know what the way it is. Lingshan Trading Company took the initiative to come to the door, saying that it is willing to trade with Li Zhenhai. Li Zhenhai has been making too much trouble in recent years and has no spare money at home. Lingshan Trading Company is very "considered" and asked Li Zhenhai to exchange land for it.

He also promised Li Zhenhai that as long as he could take out a legal land deed, the land without a master can be counted. Although it was already a rebellion for the Jia family, it was easy to turn the land without a master in Guide Mansion. As for the land without a master, although Guide Mansion was barely peaceful, the land without a master is as much as possible.
