"The thief Xian is dead, the thief Xian is dead"!

The thief army was in chaos, with countless casualties and many prisoners, and only a small number of them were left to escape successfully. The Zhu family soldiers surrounded this place and checked Zhang Xianzhong's dead body. Seeing that the man was tall, slightly thin, yellow face and long beard, many people were sure of it. In addition, they called the prisoners to recognize him, and finally they were sure that the thief was dead.

When everyone saw Zhu Zilong coming, everyone congratulated him.

Zhu Zilong waved his hand and said with a smile: "This matter is all about everyone's cooperation. In addition, there are some thieves who are fleeing outside and will inevitably be wiped out, otherwise it will cause disaster. Pass our military orders and encircle them immediately!"

All the generals respected the order on the spot, and the armor and leaves sounded together.

So, some of them killed the fleeing bandits, and the other part followed Zhu Zilong to seize the city, counting the benefits and safeguarding the people.

In the city, the defenders originally had the power to fight.

I heard that it was still a relative of Zuo Liangyu, but when I saw the thief army siege the city, I ran away.

According to military law, Zhu Zilong can also be punished. He only passed by, so of course he didn't want to let him go.

Hearing that the thief leader was dead, he resolved the dangers of the country, and explained the worries of the emperor, and made great achievements. The civil servants in the city moved their hearts and led some soldiers, along with the officials of Xiangyang, and some fellow villagers from various yards, called a ceremonial guard troupe, and blew all the way to hold Zhu Zilong's thighs.

As everyone expected, Zhang Xianzhong's body was brought up. When the people and civil servants came forward to confirm, they all shouted: "It's indeed a thief, it's undoubtedly a thief!"

Looking at Zhang Xianzhong's body, the officials in Xiangyang became rich for a moment.

Back then, Zhang Xianzhong conquered Fengyang and dug up Emperor Gao's tomb, cut down hundreds of thousands of pine and cypress trees from the imperial tomb. The royal family suppressed the anger. He killed many officials in Fengyang, Zhongdu, and some people are still in prison, waiting for the beheading in the autumn.

Fortunately, the Zhu family army came to rescue this time, otherwise the old things would have been revealed again.

Zhang Kejian murmured: "It's a peerless and extraordinary skill, I must establish a good relationship with the Zhu family army."

Zhang Kejian (an official in the late Ming Dynasty), whose courtesy name was Yuxing, was from Tunliu, Shanxi. He was promoted to the Assistant Secretary of Huguang and supervised the troops of Yunxiang. When Yang Sichang was in charge of Xiangyang, he relied on him.

In the original history, in February of the 14th year, he was promoted to the right deputy chief censor and governor of Henan. Unexpectedly, Xianzhong asked the governor's army to deceive the city of Xiangyang. Ke Jian could not distinguish it, so he got off at night, and the thieves started from the palace and burned the Xiang palace. Ke Jian rushed to rescue him in a hurry, and was held by the thief and scolded him to death.

He is also a loyal minister and wise man!

The next day, local civil servants submitted memorials to the capital.

The Zhu family army won two great battles, and rescued the vassal kings. Especially the battle in Xiangyang is quite legendary. I believe that in the near future, the incident in Xiangyang will spread to the entire Huguang and all over the Ming Dynasty. The power of the Zhu family army is once again truly heard of everywhere and everyone knows it!

That night, the banquet started.

Zhu Zilong intended to collect the officials in the city as their own use, so he hinted that he could share some credit for them, which made the civil servants happy on the spot.

You should know that although the giant thief Zhang Xianzhong was killed in the Battle of Xiangyang, it was all due to the Zhu family army.

On the other hand, some of the local officials are the only crime of dereliction of duty and trapping the city!

In the late Ming Dynasty, the court did not dare to move military generals, but was not polite to civil officials. If there was no contribution to it, the official would have done his best, and there would even be a disaster of house search and beheading!

After the group unified the situation, they finally visited King Xiang.

King Xiang, who was shocked, only came to his senses now, and just asked where the property in the mansion was going. Zhu Zilong made up a reason and said that the thief army had taken it all and had not been snatched back yet, so he comforted him.

When Zhu Zilong left, King Zhu Changfa, the King of Guiyang, angrily said to King Xiang: "Isn't this lies with his eyes open? When the thieves entered the city, the officers and soldiers were defeated and the city was defeated. But then the Zhu family army entered the city, and we were afraid of the property... It was in the hands of the Longhou of the Four Seas. He was so heartless and so dark."

King Xiang sighed, "Forget this matter, Zhu Sihai has become a powerful force and no one can defeat him. Even if the emperor wakes up, he will never be able to punish him. He cannot live in Xiangyang for a long time. If the matter in Xiangyang is still dependent on local officials and generals, just treat it as a good relationship. I can make money again in the future, so there is no need to say much. If he is angry, he will not know how to die."

…………

The next day, the Tang newspaper reported!

Flying to report to the governor of Huguang Song Yihe.

The officers and soldiers were victorious, and the thief died, and the adopted sons of their generals died?

When I saw it, I honestly couldn't believe it, but the facts were right in front of me. Anyone who cheated on such a big thing would be a lie.

Moreover, the Tang newspaper clearly stated that the thief's body was in Xiangyang, and he was not afraid of Shangguan's inspection.

After looking at Tangwen carefully, Song Yihe understood that this was the result of the Zhu family army passing by and the battle, otherwise it would be impossible.

When the news reached Yang Sichang, he was very confused and his face changed.

Thinking back to the beginning, he was full of energy, but he ended up working hard, but failed repeatedly in military affairs. The Zhu family army just passed by, and with a casual move, he defeated his various abilities.

Yang Sichang knew that he had failed and the era when civil officials were worse than military generals was coming.

However, Yang Sichang is stubborn and has a strong sense of self-esteem. Xiangyang's victory is equivalent to slapping him in the face. How can he not make Yang Sichang, who is highly regarded, feel bitter in his heart?

Therefore, his disgust towards Zhu Zilong became even stronger.

However, this is of no use.

As he spat out a mouthful of blood. He knew his family affairs. His health was getting worse day by day!

Well, before dying, go and see the thief's body.

(In the history of no change, in the 14th year of Chongzhen (1641), Zhang Xianzhong defeated Xiangyang and killed King Xiang Zhu Yiming. Yang Sichang was seriously ill. After hearing this news, he died of fear and died of fear (some say suicide), at the age of fifty-four.)

It can be said that Lao Yang has always been in poor health. This is the destiny and destiny!

However, Zhu Zilong was not interested in rescuing him. It can be said that even if he didn't die now, he would not live for a few years. Zhu Zilong would not be able to take any more trouble for such a person who would die of illness in no time!

To be honest, as far as Lao Yang is concerned, he still has the ability.

Faced with the situation of "thieves" all over the world and the threat of the Qing court's covetous eyes, Yang Sichang proposed that "they must first settle the country when resisting foreign countries." Regarding the strategy of suppressing the peasant army, he proposed the "ten-sided net" of "four straights and six corners", namely, "Shaanxi, Henan, Huguang and Jiangbei are the four main ones, and the four governors are divided into suppression and special defense.

With Yansui, Shanxi, Shandong, Jiangnan, Jiangxi and Sichuan as the six corners, the six governors divided the defense and cooperated in the suppression", thus building a "ten-faced net", making the "treaches" unable to escape.

To be honest, Yang Sichang's strategy has no theoretical loopholes, but it is bad to be bad on paper. Moreover, whether the execution of generals and officials in various places in the Ming Dynasty was in place was also the "magic weapon" to test this strategy.

If it is implemented according to Lu Xiangsheng's previous suggestion (that is, landlords with more fields should pay more grain), it is not a bad thing.

The worst thing is that Yang Sichang was ill and rushed to seek medical treatment. He changed the "because of food" to "equality is lost", which means spreading it to ordinary people. In this way, driving birds for the clumps and fish for the abyss, so that countless "good people" who could not survive were determined to join the "thieves" team.

This is the limitation of civil servants' vision in this era.

The butt determines the mind, and they can't jump out of the pit.

In addition, in history that had not changed, after Lu Xiangsheng died in battle, Yang Sichang's villain's heart began to rise, and he also wanted to report that "the whereabouts are unknown" to infringe Lu Xiangsheng to "escape at the battle".

In the end, the local elders found the body of the great hero, and Yang Sichang detained it for more than 80 days, without taking the autopsy or taking the revenge and the dead, which was really a traitor.

Such a person is like that.

And with Zhu Zilong coming, he couldn't get up any longer. Now he could only wait for the last few years to go into the coffin. Haha!
