Chapter 80 Extra Rates
Cai Tu heard the tragic situation of being executed, and his teeth were trembling and kept knocking each other. At this time, Cai Tu was injured all over, because he had been beaten up when he was being escorted. Now he was thrusting his head and looking listless. He didn't even have the strength to beg, and his whole face was distorted by fear.
Similarly, the death row prisoners in front of him were executed one after another, and some people said terrible words to Cai Tu, trying to scare him as much as possible and make him extremely scared. He used to treat Zhang Biwu like this when he was in Shangzhou, but now Zhang Biwu has returned it. As the saying goes, the cause and effect are gone without missing it!
"Kill him! Kill him!" The people's roars! One after another, they kept roaring. The people pointed directly at Cai Tu and wanted to rush up and beat him to death!
Cai Tu's pissing and shit came out of his crotch again. He was so scared that he couldn't say anything. He was frightened and ordered that even if the knife was not cut off, he would not live long. With a "pop", Cai Tu's head fell to the ground.
The confiscation of Cai Tu's home was astonished to Zhang Biwu, including some of his property from other places, which shocked Zhang Biwu. A magistrate embezzled so much money, but what if it were other officials, would it be better? The emperor ordered that the confiscated money be given to Zhang Biwu's military pay.
Cai Tu's money is enough for Zhang Biwu's expenditure of more than 2,500 and a half years. Now Zhang Biwu has also asked Gu Yanwu to train more courage, for fear that Yang Sichang will really order Zhang Biwu to attack Zhang Xianzhong together.
Zhang Biwu also asked someone to distribute some of Cai Tu's property to the people of Shanzhou. However, a lot of the property embezzled by Cai Tu was taken from Shanzhou, although the most important one was Shangzhou.
What Zhang Biwu didn't notice was that someone had escaped. This person was Cai Tu's follower Wu Zhirong. Wu Zhirong ran to Liaodong to find Jiang Fei. He could not stay. He had no place to stand. He helped Cai Tu do all the things that hurt the world. Moreover, he was afraid that Zhang Biwu would find him, so he killed him.
When things change, he didn't care about his master and ran away first. Of course, when he saw Jiang Fei, he had already figured out what to say to Jiang Fei. Jiang Fei would definitely accommodate him.
After Zhang Biwu returned to Lingbao, Gu Yanwu had already told him that it was very easy to collect 500 bravery, because there were too many hungry people, and many people were willing to be bravery in order to be able to eat. When they first selected 2,000 people, more than 2,000 people signed up at once, and only 2,000 were selected from them.
Now people have heard that there are also many people who choose to register for the Practice, but only the strong ones are selected, and five hundred people are selected.
When Zhang Biwu was satisfied, the more he was worried about, the more things he was about to happen. Because Yang Sichang's envoy arrived, the envoy told Zhang Biwu that the bandits were rampant and that Zhang Biwu was a tiger general, so he recruited him to bring his troops and brave soldiers to help kill the bandits. If he did not follow, Shang Fangjian would be executed immediately!
Having a Shangfang sword is majestic! You can kill first and then play.
Zhang Biwu expected this result. He had to go even if he went, and if he didn't go, he just smiled. Without saying a word, he immediately stated that he would order his troops to go to Huguang and Sichuan to meet with Yang Sichang as soon as possible to suppress the thieves.
Zhang Biwu decided to leave Gu Yanwu and Zhang Pan in the three counties. It was difficult for only the official officials and the 500 newly added Lian Yong to protect the three counties. But there was no way, and you had to go if you didn’t!
What's more, Zhang Biwu also thought of buying food and fighting with Zhang Xianzhong. He was extremely looking forward to it! What kind of hero will this rebel leader who was as famous as Li Zicheng in the late Ming Dynasty be! It is a happy thing to fight with the hero!
If Zhang Xianzhong can be really wiped out, history will change for it! This is naturally the best result! But if it cannot be changed, it must follow the flow.
At this time in Beijing, Wang Zhixin and others heard that a Shangzhou people came to Beijing to sue the emperor for complaining that Cai Tu was going to overthrow Cai Tu. The emperor received the memorial sent by Wang Zhixin and Fang Zhenghua and others first. He knew that the catching Lu Xiangsheng was fake and it was Cai Tu's conspiracy, which made him very angry! He saw someone coming to sue Cai Tu again, and Chongzhen was so angry that he immediately issued an order to Zhang Biwu to execute Cai Tu.
Gao Qiqian sighed when he heard him. He was really a loss of rice! Now Zhang Biwu has pulled out a sharp knife in his heart. It would not be so easy to harm him.
But Gao Qiqian did not think about his master, because his master was still worried about the poor harvest and the famine and followed.
Chongzhen stomped his feet and said, "Damn it! Look! What the Jinyiwei reported! Every minister is enjoying himself, but how did they know that the poor harvest will make the people live a harder life! Moreover, the Donglu outside the pass is ready to move, and the suppression of thieves in Sichuan, Huguang and other places also requires money! No one will share my worries!"
Chongzhen started a big quarrel and said, "Money! Fees! All are money! Who is the same as me? Are you really thinking about the country of Ming Dynasty? I am really afraid! I am afraid that because of the poor harvest and famine, it will cause more hungry people, so get up..."
When Chongzhen thought of this, he couldn't help but extort him. He kept saying to himself: "It won't happen! It won't happen! As long as Zhang Xianzhong is wiped out first, everything will be fine! No matter what, the most urgent task of the court is to support Yang Sichang to eliminate Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng! Bandits are the major concerns of the court! So the salary must be collected as expected! Only in this way can there be military spending for Yang Sichang! For the sake of the great cause of the Ming Dynasty, we must first destroy the bandits!"
When Chongzhen thought of this, he calmed down and said with a big pen that he still had to collect the taxes he had discussed and could not delay! But what Chongzhen could not have imagined was that natural disasters and man-made disasters came, especially the constant demands for money and grain, which made the people unable to survive. As soon as Li Zicheng arrived in Henan, he made the sparks a prairie fire, thus sweeping across the Central Plains and eventually destroying the Ming Dynasty.
Chongzhen only saw in front of him, but not farther away. He was just too persistent and stubborn!
The ministers also knew that when famine and poor harvests were brought together, they could no longer ask for money and food, but they were all those who were wise and protected, and they knew the emperor's temper. As long as he decided, they would be stubborn to the end. No one could persuade him, and instead would cause death! Like this, who was not afraid? No one advised Chongzhen, so that Chongzhen would slip more and more in the abyss of mistakes.
Add another point, the emperor and his royal relatives are having a contest! Recruiting and resisting donations.
Chongzhen received another report from Yang Sichang, and had already dispatched Zhang Biwu and his 2,500 men to suppress the thieves. "Yeah!" Chongzhen smiled and said, "Zhang Biwu! You can't let me down! I will hand over your enemy Cai Tu to you as you wish. Now you have to make meritorious contributions to the army and kill Zhang Xianzhong! Haha!"
At this moment, Princess Kunxing came in and said, "Father, what makes you so happy?"
Chongzhen smiled and said, "Come on! The princess!" Princess Kunxing ran into Chongzhen's arms. Chongzhen said to her, "The father is happy because of two people! One is Yang Sichang and the other is Zhang Biwu! Ha! The father's plan is to cultivate two talents, both literary and military! Wen is naturally Yang Sichang, which is what I trust the most! As for martial arts, of course it is Zhang Biwu!"
"Zhang Biwu!" Princess Kunxing said after hearing this, "Are you those great heroes that everyone praises? My daughter last year..." Speaking of this, Princess Kunxing remembered the incident of crashing into Zhang Biwu's arms, and she suddenly blushed.
"What's wrong? The princess!" Chongzhen couldn't help but ask. Princess Kunxing said, "It's nothing! I think my father is happy, and I'll be happy too!" Chongzhen couldn't help laughing, because what he loved the most was Princess Kunxing and the fifth prince [Note] Zhu Cihuan, so when he heard Princess Kunxing say this, Chongzhen smiled happily.
[Note]: During the Kangxi period, there was a case of Zhu San Prince, who was known as Zhu San Prince, and Wang Shiyuan was killed, saying that his name was Zhu Cihuan. According to Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cihuan was the fifth son of Chongzhen and his favorite little prince. He died of illness in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen. My novel is based on the history of the Ming Dynasty.

"Zhang Biwu, can you really make your father happy? Can you help him eliminate all your worries?" Princess Kunxing said this in a low voice. Chongzhen heard it. He gently pinched Princess Kunxing's little face and said, "Yes! I think he will use his bravery and kill Zhang Xianzhong for me like when Jinan killed Yue Tuo!"
Princess Kunxing said, "Yes! You will definitely! My father is a wise ruler who has been hard to find since ancient times and has the wisdom to understand people! My father will never misjudgment!"
"Haha!" Chongzhen was so happy that he was flattered by his favorite daughter. He was in a great mood!
At this moment, Wang Dehua came in and reported: "Emperor, Li Guorui refused to donate silver! He also colluded with the royal relatives to fight against the emperor to the end!"
With a "bang", Chongzhen slapped the desk and said, "Okay! Fight with me? I want them to know whether I am the leader of the Ming Dynasty or whether he is Li Guorui! He is going to prison!" "Yes!" Wang Dehua went to do it. He was avenging his personal revenge because he asked Li Guorui for money. Of course, Li Guorui, who was stingy, did not give it to him. This offended Wang Dehua. Wang Dehua wanted to look good to Li Guorui.
When Wang Dehua heard that he was going to throw Li Guorui into prison, he sneered.
Princess Kunxing had already retreated. What she was thinking about was Zhang Biwu. Can Zhang Biwu make a contribution this time? Can he make his father happy?
In fact, Zhang Biwu was extremely dangerous this time! Zhang Biwu asked Zhang Pan to stay to assist Gu Yanwu in managing the three counties, and then he went towards Huguang and Sichuan. However, Zhang Biwu would not know when he would come back!
