With Zhang Xianzhong dead, the short-lived Daxi regime will no longer appear. Regardless of whether he actually massacred countless people in Sichuan, he has closed his eyes forever. Dozens of guns were fired at the same time, and the bullets kept penetrating the body, flying far away with large pieces of meat, leaving only a hornet's nest on the ground. When the soldiers accompanying him saw that Zhang Xianzhong could not die any longer, they all screamed and dispersed, turned around and ran away. But the gunfire from behind was endless, and they fell down one after another and died in the vast wheat fields. Blood flowed everywhere along the ditch, and the sky was filled with the smell of blood. Qiao Fu took long strides and came to Zhang Xianzhong's body. He took a closer look and found that only the head was still intact. One of his arms was flying off. Even the horse under its crotch was riddled with holes and was already dead. "Bah!" Qiao Fu spat, "With your virtues, you still want to share the world with the prince, and you don't even know what happened to you! Come, cut off his head, and immediately "Wu" "Wrong" The soldiers hurriedly agreed, cut off Zhang Xianzhong's head, put it in a wooden box, sprinkled some quicklime on it, and sent it to the capital at an accelerated speed of 600 miles. When the soldiers reporting victory arrived in the capital, it was already seven days later. "A great victory, a great victory!" "Zhang Xianzhong, the culprit who burned the imperial mausoleum, was killed!" "The giant bandit is dead, and the ancestors' spirits in heaven can comfort him!" Running all the way, shouting all the way, wherever he passes, the people Everyone cheered. In their simple thoughts, the emperor is never wrong, and anyone who dares to rebel against the emperor should die! The good news reached Chen Xinjia, the new Minister of War. He received such a big gift package just after he took office. Chen Xinjia was so happy that he couldn't do anything about it. He was afraid that there was a lie and someone would take the head away. Check carefully. The soldiers of Yizhou were always careful in their work, so Qiao Ford ordered people to seal the soldiers' talisman and send them all the correspondence to prove Zhang Xianzhong's identity. After checking again and again, there was no problem. Chen Xinjia was so excited that he trembled all over. He turned around and ran outside. After a while, he ran back again, forgetting the document reporting victory The dignified Minister of the Ministry of War. It was actually not Chen Xinjia's fault that it got to this point, but Zhang Xianzhong's death was too timely! Fengyang fell and the ancestral mausoleum was shaken. Chongzhen had to go to the Ancestral Temple to plead guilty. He cried until he died, gnashed his teeth, and wanted to avenge his ancestors. ??????????????? At this time. So Zhang Xianzhong's head was sent over. He could be regarded as the culprit. At least Chongzhen could explain to his ancestors. The emperor was comforted and could go as he wished. Is this a small contribution? Panting all the way, he rushed to the palace, but to Chen Xinjia's surprise, Chongzhen had already known the news in advance. The great scholar Wen Tiren was sitting opposite Chongzhen. The monarch and his ministers talked loudly. "Your Majesty, if you present the thieves and give them their heads, Southern Zhili will be as stable as Mount Tai. You can ask the commander-in-chief Qiao Fu to mobilize troops to march to Henan. With the Yizhou soldiers as the vanguard, the rogues will definitely flee. In addition, Yang Butang will strategize and command ten The other thieves will definitely not be able to survive for long. " "Well, Wen Ge is mature and prudent, and he is well-versed in the country." Chongzhen said approvingly. This emperor's temperament is like a cat and a dog. If you like it, he will be successful. , if it is not pleasing to the eye, even if you do it right, you will still lose your head. At this time, Wen Tiren looked into the emperor's eyes, and Chongzhen sighed, "Mr. Wen Ge, just now Zhang Ke wrote to me again, asking for an increase of one million taels of silver and two million dan of grain to appease the people. In addition, he also needs permission. The amount of land requisitioned on the spot and the captured bandits taken up were astonishing. I know the situation in the Ministry of Household Affairs. It has been empty for a long time. I have very little internal money left to transport the grain from the southeast, and the capital is worth millions. The household is short of food. What can I give them?" When Wen Tiren heard this, he stood up in a hurry and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I have the courage to say that soldiers should be rewarded for their meritorious service, let alone such a great achievement as killing Zhang Xianzhong. If you don't reward me, I'm afraid others will be disappointed. "There is more than one Yizhou soldier in the world. Not to mention others, Yang Sichang has hundreds of thousands. In fact, Zhang Ke is considered honest. Over the years, the imperial court has owed a large amount of food and salary, but Zhang Ke has not asked for it. Now that he was ordered by the imperial court to go south to fight, he had to give him a reward. Chongzhen also understood this truth, but who made him a poor man. "Mr. Wen Ge, do you have any good ideas?" "This" Wen Tiren was silent for a while and said: "Long live, I really have a way, but" "Just say it, even if you are wrong, I will not pursue it. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your generosity," said Wen Tiren.After a pause, he said: "Long live, there are two difficulties at the moment. One is to reward the three armies, and the other is to transport water. I think these two things can actually be put together." Chongzhen's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked: "Who is Ai Qing? What do you mean?" "Let the Yizhou soldiers protect the canal, and the governor will pay them." It has to be said that Wen Tiren still has some skills, and he actually came up with such a method. Zhang Ke and the others can't afford to offend them, and there's nothing they can do about Southeast, so let's just let them bite each other and let the trouble go! It would be best if the Yizhou soldiers could clear up the water transportation. No matter how much money they got, it wouldn't matter. Even if it can't be done, Zhang Ke would be too embarrassed to interfere with the court! Chongzhen¡¯s miserable little face actually showed joy. This idea was indeed a good one. At this time, someone came to report that it was Chen Xinjia, the Minister of War, who wanted to see him. Chongzhen was in a good mood and hurriedly ordered him to be brought in. After seeing the ceremony, Chen Xinjia said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the giant bandit Zhang Xianzhong was killed seven days ago in the south of Fuyang City. The remaining bandits are still causing trouble in the surrounding area. I sincerely request your majesty to reward the three armies and order Commander Qiao to increase the number of troops. Jin, wiped out all the rebels in Nanzhili. " "Well, haha, I know everything Master Chen said. Qiao Fu did a good job. Let's reward him with a brave man who can also serve as the governor of water transportation. Tell him, as long as the grain from the southeast is harvested, I will allow him to retain the military use. "The earl is nothing. After all, Zhang Ke has been granted the title of king, and the governor of water transport is a big fat man. In the past, he was a civilian official, and he never failed. into the hands of the warrior. But when I thought about it, it made sense. Civil officials had no choice but to use military generals. "Your Majesty, I obey the order!" "Sir, we found this in the Yamen's signing room. Please take a look at it." Qiao Fu took it and looked through it casually. They were all letters to and from each other, and there were also many gift orders mixed in. . Zhang Xianzhong captured Fengyang, and many wealthy merchants from Lianghuai and even the southeast had no choice but to send gifts in order to ensure their wealth and safety and the safety of their trade routes. Zhang Xianzhong was not polite and accepted them all. When Qiao Fu saw this, he suddenly clapped his hands and laughed and said, "God is really helping me!" (To be continued) Chapter 590: Discovery:
