Chapter 830
Although the imperial edict of Chongzhen to recruit Li Zicheng was a magistrate, the imperial power of Wang Chengen and Zhang Shuheng's factory guards was aggravated, and the Chinese officials in the court did not dare to have any opinions on the magistrate. Haven't you seen that the Jinyiwei of the Dongchang destroyed so many wealthy families before, and what the Chinese officials in the court said was just like farts. What could it be for? Chongzhen also knew that the turbulent times were coming, and those civil servants were unreliable, and only with soldiers in their hands could he count. Li Guodong judged that He Tengjiao, who was far away in Huguang, probably wouldn't accept the magistrate because the emperor was far away.
In fact, for Li Guodong, it would be better if He Tengjiao did not accept the order. If the camp was reorganized into the Zhongzhen Camp, he would take over it, which would be better than He Tengjiao.
After leaving Nanjing and returning to Yangzhou, Li Guodong called Xu Liang, a thousand households of the Jinyiwei in Yangzhou, and explained to him a few words.
"Please rest assured, lord, I will definitely do this beautifully!" Xu Liang bowed and left.
Xu Liang returned to the Qianhu Office of the Jinyiwei, immediately called Chen Jinliang, gave instructions on what Li Guodong told him, and then repeatedly told him to do the matter well.
Ten days later, the Governor's Office in Huguang, Wuchang.
"Recruiting the bandits? The Imperial Order?" He Tengjiao took the imperial edict and saw that his face changed drastically. He returned the imperial edict to Chen Jinliang who came to announce the edict. "Since it was a imperial edict that was not drafted by the cabinet ticket, I am sorry that I cannot accept the edict! Chen Baihu, you should take the imperial edict back!"
Chen Jinliang received the imperial edict and sneered in his heart: He Tengjiao, He Tengjiao, it turns out that you, a pedantic old guy, refused to accept the imperial edict!
"Send the guests!" He Tengjiao issued an order to expel guests without hesitation.
"He Governor, I'll leave with a humble position!" Chen Jinliang bowed and turned around to say goodbye.
Du Yinxi walked up anxiously to stop Chen Jinliang, but He Tengjiao shouted: "Zhongyan, let that eagle claw grandson go! Don't stop him!"
Chen Jinliang turned his head and snorted coldly: "Duchen He, you are not obeying the order. I hope you don't regret it in the future!"
"Bah!" He Tengjiao roared angrily, "You are domineering in Jinyiwei? I am a magistrate of the imperial court. What can you do to me?"
Du Yinxi sighed and turned to He Tengjiao and said, "Did He beg for a long time to recruit thieves? Why did the imperial edict arrive, but the governor repent?"
He Tengjiao said angrily: "If there are treacherous slanders in the court, your majesty must be bewitched by treacherous slanders, so he issued a central order! Why did he issue a central order? It is because the cabinet will definitely not be approved by the cabinet. Then the tyrant monarch issued a central order! If it weren't for this central order, I would have recruited the thief. However, the tyrant issued a central order by the tyrant, but I would not accept the imperial edict!"
Du Yinxi sighed: "It's so urged to act, it's so urged to act! He Duchen, you and I have no soldiers to use. If Jiannu goes south, what will we stop us? Recruiting the thieves is the best strategy, but He Duchen gave up the reconciliation because of his intention. Alas..."
"Zhong Jian said too much, I will never allow the foolish monarch to act recklessly! The bandits broke through the capital, causing the ancestral temples and the country to be covered with dust. The foolish monarch did not want to take revenge, but instead recruited the bandits." He Tengjiao said righteously.
Since Li Zi succeeded and failed, Ajige chased him all the way. Li Zicheng was accidentally killed in Jiugong Mountain. Although there were more than 100,000 rebels, they had no leader and became a mess. The rebel army, who had no way to go, decided to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and unite with the Ming Dynasty to fight against the Qing Dynasty. However, after crossing the Yangtze River, they sent envoys to find He Tengjiao, but He Tengjiao delayed it. Du Yinxi took the initiative to send envoys to contact the rebel army.
After Du Yinxi's earnest persuasion, He Tengjiao also planned to recruit the rebel army. Who knew that Chongzhen, who was instigated by Li Guodong, sent an imperial edict, but He Tengjiao gave up his plan to recruit the rebel army.
Seeing Du Yinxi sighing, He Tengjiao said coldly: "Why did Zhongyan sigh?"
"He Tuchen, my major general is scarce, and I gave up recruiting the rebels. If Jiannu went south, what would we do to resist?" Du Yinxi asked.
He Tengjiao sneered: "You and I can go to Changsha. Wuchang is the fief of Duke Chu. It is the Duke of Chu who blocked Jiannu. The prince spreads crowds of castles outside Wuchang City, and he didn't take me, the governor of Huguang seriously!"
De'an Prefecture in Huguang, the De'an Prefecture in the past was not De'an, Jiangxi today, but the Anlu, Yunmeng, Yingcheng, Yingshan, and Suizhou today.
There were people coming and going on the streets. Some people were wearing centipede uniforms, with their heads naked, with a rat-tailed braid hanging behind their heads, and some were still in the Han Dynasty. At this time, Dorgon had not issued a hair shaving order, and whether to shave his hair was purely voluntary, but soldiers had to shave their hair. The state violent machines such as officials, yamen runners, and minor officials in the yamen must shave their hair and change their clothes. There were also some people who were not yamen who shave their hair voluntarily, all of whom wanted to please the other races.
"When" a gong sounded, a group of yamen runners walked over with the sign of "avoiding quietness", followed by a sedan chair carried by two people, and behind them was a group of yamen runners.
"Go away, the Tartar officials are here!" The people on the street were so scared that they moved away.
"Wow" A baby cried loudly, and the mother hurriedly covered the baby's mouth and prevented him from crying.
Uncle Cheng Jiu, who was covered in the Qing government, sat in the sedan chair. From time to time, he lifted the curtains on the side and looked at the people who fled in panic on the street. He felt very helpful: I am now an official, but still an official from the Qing Dynasty, hahaha!
Although he was an eighth-rank official and could only sit in a sedan chair carried by two people, he was also an official, and an official of the Qing Dynasty! The Qing Dynasty would sooner or later, and he was still smart. After killing the thief, he did not go to the Ming government to ask for merit, but went to the Qing Dynasty to ask for merit. He killed the thief at that time, but he didn't think of who he was going to kill, but who knew that he accidentally killed the thief leader Li Zicheng! When the Qing Dynasty was happy, he rewarded him with an eighth-rank official.
Just as Cheng Jiu Bo was thinking about it, a sound of bowstrings suddenly sounded on both sides of the street, and the dark crossbow arrows were pricked at the yamen runners, constables, and white servants. In a blink of an eye, more than ten yamen runners of Cheng Jiu Bo were all nailed to the streets.
"I've killed someone! I've killed someone!" Cheng Jiubo lifted the curtain and shouted loudly.
More than twenty men in black jumped off the roof like ghosts, and a sharp embroidered spring knife rested on Cheng Jiubo's neck.
"Embroidered Chun Dao?" Cheng Jiu's legs were so scared that they became weak.
A piece of rag was stuffed into his mouth, and then it was tied into a rice dumpling, with a black cloth on his head. His sedan was kicked over and then stuffed into a carriage.
Although he didn't know where the carriage was, based on the distance, Cheng Jiu Bo knew that the carriage was about to leave the city. He wanted to shout, but his mouth was blocked and he could not shout out at all. He was hoping that the Qing soldiers guarding the city could stop the carriage. However, the carriage just paused for a moment and heard someone outside say, "So it's Sixth Master, come over."
The carriage continued to drive again, but I don’t know how far it had walked. Uncle Cheng was pulled out of the car and threw it on the floor.
The black cloth wrapped around his head was taken off. Cheng Jiubo saw a Jinyiwei wearing a flying fish suit and a wingless black hat standing in front of him.
"Who are you? Why did you catch the villain here?" Cheng Jiubo asked on his knees.
"We are the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei! Since you have become an official of the Tartars, then we are responsible for arresting you!" The Jinyiwei Baihu led by the leader said coldly.
In order to survive, Cheng Jiubo knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Sir, please spare me! The villain is the hero who killed the thief leader Li Zicheng. The villain has made contributions to the Ming Dynasty. You should release the villain..."
