Chapter 709 Wu Sangui and Yuan Chonghuan, who hide evil intentions!
Since the imperial edict was issued for the king, all the troops drove towards the capital.
However, current affairs were too difficult and the canal was broken. The court seemed to have never thought about how to provide logistical support for these troops.
In addition, state affairs were in chaos and impeachment of the cabinet was a tradition of the Ming Dynasty. The chief minister Zhou Yanru had just stepped down, and all the officials in the capital had not yet made any sense.
All the civil and military officials of the court divided their camps and bit each other, but they had no intention of government affairs. The Ministry of War ignored reinforcements from other provinces. The local armies without logistics support were furious.
He traveled thousands of miles to the capital to serve the king. I felt that he was already loyal to the Zhuming Dynasty. Unexpectedly, the court accepted the army to serve the king so coldly?
Except for Qin Liangyu's troops, the military disciplines of other local troops naturally cannot be maintained.
In order to have a meal, they went to grab houses near the capital and to grab things to eat!
As a result, the common people who had just experienced the robbery of the Later Jin Dynasty soon discovered that their Ming army was even more terrifying than the Later Jin Dynasty. The residents of the capital were immediately filled with grief and anger, and cursing the officers and soldiers was more harmful than the bandits and soldiers.
However, even if the royal army looted everywhere, it would not be able to raise enough food and money.
Moreover, due to the uneven distribution of spoils, conflicts broke out between officers and soldiers from all walks of life, and as a result, their own people fought against their own people.
Mima is really a scam in the Ming local army.
For a time, the capital was turned into a hell of fire, and the city gates were closed tightly during the day. Rich officials and gentry fled to Tianjin overnight, as if the people were living in poverty.
When the queen in the deep palace learned about this, she was furious and scolded Wang Jun, a foreign province!
However, at this time, it is probably useless to wake up and scold them, right?
If they really get anxious, they will be even more happy if they encourage soldiers to set up camps and block the city gates, clamor to threaten the court, and come to force the palace. Haha!
So, teammates of pigs are more terrifying than enemies there.
Because of his original nature, Zhu Zilong was unable to wake up his clone for the time being, so he didn't know about these things. Besides, he was on the grassland, even if there were intelligence personnel, it would take only a few days to know about these things.
The war is important, what did he do?
A few days later!
The Sincan Sect rebelled again and advanced towards Shandong, gathering hundreds of thousands of hungry people to cut off the canal and besiege Jining, which shocked the world.
The bandit army led troops to plunder in many counties, seizing countless food, supplies, and gold and silver.
When we arrived at the important area of Shandong, the remaining Zhu family army fought desperately to defend and repelled countless attacks, so that half of Shandong's territory could be saved and spared from suffering. However, other Shandong territory would be difficult to protect!
At the same time, Gao Yingxiang took the opportunity to fight back to Henan. He swept the hungry people in Henan to rebel along the way!
However, when the Henan government army was transferred to Beijing by the order of serving the king, the "bandits" in the province quickly deteriorated.
For a time, Henan was filled with refugees, all of whom were desperate and crazy. Good people also turned into thieves, and thieves were rising everywhere in various counties. Kaifeng and Guide were in a row and the situation in the province was almost decayed!
The chaos in the Central Plains is getting more intense
And there are, Shanxi and Taiyuan.
At this time, the ground was full of mess, black smoke was curling, corpses were everywhere, and blood was flowing into a river. It was a terrible sight!
The Shaanxi refugee army captured Taiyuan, killed, looted, raped, arsoned, and promoted men, and various war atrocities continued to be staged in every corner of the city.
However, most of the atrocities did not come to those poor people who could not squeeze out any good or bad luck.
Because the people are so poor.
Most of the unlucky ones are the rich and the landlords!
The bandits who attacked were crowded and pounced on the royal palace, the governor's yamen, the general army yamen, the prefect yamen, and so on. As well as the landlord's family in the deep courtyard with extremely luxurious carved beams and painted buildings.
Cages of large and small, and various kinds of property were moved out of these places, loaded into carts, horses, mules, and camels, and transported out of the city in a steady stream.
One by one, the landlords and students who were majestic in the past put ropes on the thieves and were taken out with dejected dismay. If they resisted, they would be beaten up.
King Gao Yingxiang looked at the scene in front of him with a proud look and won a significant turnaround battle.
At this moment, the Ming Dynasty capital!
Due to martial law throughout the city, there are fewer hawkers on the streets. The street scene is extremely bleak and scary. Many shops simply close their doors!
Because the fragrance-smelling silenced the canal transport to Beijing, all the food and food resources imported from the south were almost cut off.
However, the previous Tartars Later Jin broke through the pass and went south to fight with the imperial government army, and consumed most of the accumulated food and fodder that was originally not much in the capital. When they left, they fought with the border troops again, and the court simply forced them to Liangshan in an instant.
What’s even more terrible is that the wealthy businessmen in Beijing have to hoard goods and make a desperate attempt to speculate on the price of grain. I really don’t know how to write the word “death”?
As a result, the rice prices in Beijing soared to more than ten taels of silver per stone and wheat prices of two taels of silver per stone. Most of the poor people starved to death. The dissatisfaction with the court became increasingly serious. The public security in the capital market became worse and worse!
The honest and honest villain on weekdays also turned into a fierce thug. In order to survive, his wife and children rushed to the grain store to burn, kill and loot.
Under the order of the queen, the capital Shuntian Mansion had no choice but to make up his mind to use the chaotic times to chop hundreds of heads in one breath and hang them outside the yamen to show their public. Only with the bloody and terrifying butcher knife could he barely maintain the most basic order.
However, it is obviously not a long-term solution. After all, there is still a bucket, and it is Jingying.
If there is no food and money to pay the soldiers in the Beijing camp, they may also become mobs. This is a hundred times more powerful than the rebellion of the young people!
In the Forbidden City, Empress Zhang was filled with sorrow.
Almost every day, I went to the clone of Emperor Zhu Zilong to cry, regardless of whether the emperor woke up or not, and told me about the pain in my heart.
In the court, the former chief assistant Zhou Yanru and the imperial teacher Sun Chengzong brought the blame to the world, and Wen Tiren succeeded as chief assistant.
The queen originally thought that as long as the cabinet changed a new person, there would be some new look at least, but what she waited for was one more terrifying shocking news after another!
At the court meeting, the ministers and officials shirked responsibility for each other.
The queen felt so tired after being so anxious that she was so anxious.
The grain in the south was not delivered to the capital. The grain prices in northern Zhili had risen to the sky. At most, as long as the situation did not improve, even the capital would be in chaos.
The disaster of losing the relatives and the murder of the vassal kings has never happened in the past century in the Ming Dynasty, but now it has happened under one's own rule.
The queen was very worried that the emperor would punish herself severely after she woke up.
How can you meet your ancestors in the future?
At this critical moment, even more terrifying bad news came again.
Wu Sangui and Yuan Chonghuan said that the morale of the army was unstable and there might be unexpected disasters. In order to prevent the Guanning army from turning against the enemy, the country's borders were opened. I hope that the queen and officials would allocate money and grain quickly, reward and reward soldiers with great help to calm their hearts.
It's true, it's a ill-intention!
To be continued.
