Chapter 18

Chen Qiyu has been very depressed these two days. His subordinates who were originally in charge of the war have not known what happened in the past few days. Except for Datong General Cao Wenzhao and Huguang Governor Lu Xiangsheng, they all sang opposites.

First, the military supervisor Pang Dahai urged him to end the war as soon as possible on the grounds that Jiannu was holding the border, and expressed his intention to politely.

That night, the participating generals Qi Jingbiao, Zhang Feng and Zhu Guoping visited together, hoping to implement the plan to recruit peasant army as soon as possible on the grounds that the army had shortage of food and grass, and they hoped that the plan to recruit peasant army could be implemented as soon as possible.

Their reasons were very sufficient and appropriate. Eight days ago, the capital suddenly heard from the capital that Huang Taiji made a second western expedition to Chahar, and on his way back, he actually raided Xuanhua. Now tens of thousands of cavalry have messed up the central and northern parts of Shanxi, and it means to march towards Shuntian Prefecture.

This time, he mobilized the elites of the border towns. For example, Cao Wenzhao came across provinces and did not prepare much food and grass. Now, Shaanxi and Henan are thousands of miles away. Officials from various prefectures and counties can no longer provide food and grass. It is even more unrealistic to expect the court. The treasury is now cleaner than the rice jars of the people.

Huguang Governor Lu Xiangsheng was tough and chose to go hungry with the soldiers. However, Cao Wenzhao's group of border troops were different. They were even more fierce and even secretly tampered with surrounding villages and towns.

The issues that Qi Jingbiao and others are also objective facts. If the food and grass cannot be raised...

"Oh!" Chen Qiyu sighed helplessly.

It was not that he had thought about recruiting the pacification, but the lessons of Shaanxi Governor Yang He were there. These thieves remained unchanged, and they were afraid that they would rebel again after surrender.

He is the chief general in the army. If something goes wrong, the blame will not be on Pan Dahai, nor on Qi Jingbiao, Zhang Feng, and Zhu Guoping. But he, the governor of the five provinces, may become a historical sinner.

"Mr. Chen, our family knows what you are worried about, but the situation is urgent. If Jiannu really captures Xuan Mansion, His Majesty will be furious. You have to think about the consequences!"

The ponytailed sea said sarcastically, his voice was very sharp and it sounded like a duck was yelling.

"Yes, Governor General, time is not waiting for anyone. The soldiers under Beiyi yelled that they would not send military pay and food again, and they would go back to Shanxi, and Beiyi would not be able to suppress the rush." ​​The gang general Zhang Feng added fire.

"If the Governor is worried that the leaders will rebel, the last general thinks it is not necessary at all. The heavy rain has been falling for nearly two months, and the thieves have been detached from their crossbows, so they have soaked their armor and horses' hooves, and their food and grass have long been unable to hold on. They must have reached the end of their journey.

The Governor only needs to give some favors, and those thieves are not grateful?" Zhu Guoping also said.

This time, the few of them carried Cao Wenzhao and Lu Xiangsheng on their backs and vowed to persuade Chen Qiyu to agree to the pacification. Although the few of them received a large sum of money from the thief, they all believed that the thief could not hold on anymore and was sincerely surrendering.

"Let's go back first, I'll consider it." Chen Qiyu frowned and issued an order to expel the guest, obviously he was moved.

Pang Dahai and his men retreated and looked at each other. They all saw Governor Chen's expression and made an appointment to continue persuading tomorrow.

After just a few days like this, Cao Wenzhao couldn't hold on anymore. The border army fought over food every night, and Jiannu was looting everywhere in Shanxi. If he didn't go back quickly, he was worried that the general of Datong would end.

Finally, Chen Qiyu finally decided to recruit the peasant army, and no one in the official army except Lu Xiangsheng would object.

On July 12, the seventh year of Chongzhen, King Gao Yingxiang, King Zhang Xianzhong, General Li Zicheng, and Cao Cao Luo Rucai personally brought his generals to express his determination to surrender to the court.

All the generals of the rebel army knelt in front of Chen Qiyu and told their rebellion. Among them, Gao Jie, the old team under Li Zicheng, was the most passionate. When talking about the last man, he actually cried like a child of two hundred pounds.

Chen Qiyu felt relieved and rebuked their crimes in public. He also gave them the opportunity to reform with his majesty and kindness in the dynasty, and appointed Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and others as guerrilla generals, and the rest of the generals were also rewarded.

Two days later, Chen Qiyu, Lu Xiangsheng and others finally finalized the pacification agreement, that is, according to the number of soldiers in the uprising army, a pacification officer was sent to monitor each hundred people and responsible for repatriation and resettlement.

The prefectures and counties passed by will be supplied with food and grass by local government offices, and the troops stationed in various places will be notified to avoid conflicts.

As a result, more than 40,000 rebels instantly became obedient people, and they swayed out of the mud ditch in the carriage gorge. During this period, Lu Xiangsheng kept frowning and staring at him.

He was skeptical of Governor Chen Qiyu's policy of advocating, but he was also looking for someone, the one who killed his beloved horse.

That day, outside Baiyun Pass, he almost wiped out the bandit army. At the critical moment of pursuit, a boy appeared from somewhere and used a strange musket to penetrate the head of the war horse under his seat. His arm was also broken due to the horse's fallen horse.

Lu Xiangsheng had no other hobbies, but he loved horses very much, and even gave his beloved horses a name. He always chose a few to carry them when he went to war. The one who died under the boy's musket that day was his favorite Wuming horse.

But Lu Xiangsheng was not that narrow-minded. He was not looking for that kid to avenge BMW, but was very concerned about the musket in Zhan Yun's hand. He thought that if all the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty could have such a musket, why worry about Jiannu being unjust?

So Lu Xiangsheng stood on a high ground, with a rope around his neck holding his injured arm, Xun Zhan Yun Xun became a husband-looking stone.

In fact, Zhan Yun was really in the uprising army at this moment. He wore a hat and a straw raincoat, and even talked and laughed with the two of Gu Yanwang and the other two.

Zhan Yun is unknown about the PY transaction between the official army and the rebel army, but he is very sure that Chen Qiyu, the governor of the five provinces, will be in trouble for eight lifetimes this time.

Although he didn't know much about history in the late Ming Dynasty, those of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were going to fight to the end with the Ming Dynasty. How could he surrender at this time?

But he had no reason to tell Chen Qiyu that, first of all, he was not familiar with this guy, secondly, the court did not do anything good, otherwise the people would have nothing to do to rebel, thirdly, he was worried that Lu Xiangsheng would be caught.

Although he deliberately shot missed that day, he was not sure where he shot, so when he passed by the official army, he always pressed his hat very low.

That night, the rebel army, which had been in the same battalion with the government army, even Chen Qiyu gave him wine. Gu Yanwang and Wei Madman were even more distant. He was drunk with the wine jar and found the two drunkards of the government army. He slept in the government army tent all night.

After leaving Hanzhong, the rebel army was led by the surveillance officer toward Yan'an Prefecture. Two days later, the large army entered Fengxiang Prefecture.

As expected, as the rebels expected, they rebeled as soon as they escaped from the trap. Overnight, the poor appeasers sent by Chen Qiyu were either killed, cut off their ears, or tied directly to the big tree beside the road to fend for themselves.

Later, the rebel army divided into four groups. The rebel king Gao Yingxiang attacked Baoji, Zhang Xianzhong attacked Jixian County, Cao Cao attacked Fufeng, and Li Zicheng attacked Longzhou. It is said that Chen Qiyu beat his chest and stamped his feet after hearing the news, vomiting blood and falling to the ground.

The night before Li Zicheng arrived in Longzhou, Zhan Yun finally decided to leave the rebel army and said goodbye to the female leader Hong Niang.

The way is different, and they don’t plan to each other, Zhan Yun doesn’t feel reluctant to let go.

"Where are you going?" Hongniang knew that Zhan Yun would leave sooner or later, and did not try to keep him.

"Who knows how great the world is! Just watch one movie at a time!" Zhan Yun said freely.

There were at least fifty stones of food in his space, and the two guns had sufficient bullets. Li Zicheng, who had nothing, could make a difference, and he firmly believed that he could do it too.

The queen wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything at the end, and finally said one word to take care of her.

Zhan Yun smiled, then turned over and said to Hongniu after walking a few steps:

"If you don't want to follow Li Zicheng, you can come to find me, as are the others in the uprising army."

After saying that, Zhan Yun did not hesitate anymore and rode his horse in an unknown direction.

...

PS: Unofficial history records that Gao Qiqian was reluctant to save him because Gao Qiqian had fallen in love with Lu Xiangsheng's five-minded horse before. Lu Xiangsheng also saw that Gao Qiqian wanted the horse, but he was reluctant to give it to him. As a civil servant, he always looked down on eunuchs, which led to eunuchs Gao Qiqian holding a grudge.

Of course, this is unofficial history and I have not verified it, but Lu Xiangsheng loves BMW, this is the real thing.

Secondly, after the rebel army was trapped in the carriage gorge, it rained heavily for more than 60 days. The rebel army bribed Chen Qiyu's subordinates with gold and silver, and then sued him for surrendering, all of which were historical facts, not fabricated by Hanhan.
