Chapter 328

Today's commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty is no longer the commander-in-chief at the beginning of the founding of the country, but the quality is still very high. The ox people Zheng Zhibao, Zheng Zhilong, Zu dashou, Cao Wenzhao, Zuo Liangyu and Liu Zeqing are no more than the commander-in-chief and the highest level of military generals.

You should know that when the Ming Dynasty was founded, the commander in chief was equivalent to the commander in chief, but now the commander in chief is equivalent to a title, equivalent to the commander of a certain place in future generations, and he is equivalent to the commander of a provincial military region.

The Fengyang general army under Liu buta's name is still quite high in quality, and the areas under his jurisdiction are also very prosperous, and they are all rich places. Apart from others, Cao Wenzhao, Zu Kuan and others are envious and want to die. They want to reach out and grab it.

He Liu Bu was young and became the chief soldier of Fengyang. It would be impossible if he didn't get the emperor's great appreciation. His appointment can be called an exceptional appointment.

In order to exterminate the exiled bandits and calm the civil strife, Emperor Chongzhen did his best. He promoted many talents exceptionally. For example, Chen Qiyu, the former governor, Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng, the county governors, were appointed exceptionally. As long as he can achieve brilliant victory in the battle to exterminate the exiled bandits, he can exterminate the exiled bandits for him, Defeat the enemy, he will not care about the birth qualifications of the other party, and directly give the other party an exceptional appointment.

This time, the Liu family's father and son are completely beautiful. Liu Yuanqiao has become governor Denglai and the frontier minister on one side, and his sons have also become the general army of Fengyang. They can be called heroes of father and son. Tiger father has no dog son.

If it was Liu Bu in the past, I introduced him like this: "a Liu Bu, Lu Bu's cloth, Chen Qingzhi's Qingzhi." you will certainly be laughed at by others. You, a rich second generation who eats and drinks and dies, dare to compare yourself like this? Compared with the eternal God of war? But if he said so today, not many people would laugh. At least he has become a successful person in the eyes of many people.

When Liu Bu became the chief soldier of Fengyang, he immediately announced the plan to eliminate bandits and return the people to a peaceful world in March. He won the unanimous welcome of the local gentry and people. You know, the bandits occupied this period, but brought serious disasters to the local area. You know, daofengyang is a land of abundance in the Ming Dynasty, a place with the most nobles and nobles, They have enjoyed peace for hundreds of years. When have they suffered less?

Liu Bu immediately ordered his troops to attack everywhere to eliminate the bandits, wandering bandits and mountain bandits left in Fengyang mansion.

In the first World War of Anqing, Liu Bu was well-known all over the world, making a scene and a name.

The presence of him in the town also frightened and frightened the exiled bandits. Although the main force of the exiled bandits immediately fled in several ways when they saw that the news was wrong, there were still many small groups of troops staying in Fengyang. These people disturbed the place, harmed the people and caused great damage to the local governance and security. Liu Buhe was in the town, but it was a great shock to these people, Fled one after another.

Liu Bu has become a famous general today. You should know that Zhang Xianzhong, the toughest among Liu Yu, was captured alive, and Zhang Xianzhong's powerful army was defeated by them. How can other people be his opponents? It's the so-called man's ten thousand children and the shadow of the tree. Liu Bu sits here, which gives these rogue bandits and mountain bandits a great shock, They hid in the mountains or fled everywhere, afraid to do evil.

This also proves that the people of Fengyang have made the right choice. They chose this strong man to sit here, but it has given a great deterrent to the bandits and mountain bandits under their rule.

Liu Bu divided his troops into countless small forces to exterminate these bandits and mountain bandits. You should know that Fengyang is a huge place. It is already the westernmost place. If it is the easternmost, it can extend to the sea and directly reach Yangzhou. It is a necessary place to go north to Shandong and south to the south of the Yangtze River.

If it was the confrontation between the northern and Southern Dynasties in the past, guarding the Yangtze River and the Huaihe River would be the so-called land of the Yangtze River and the Huaihe River, the strategic place in the world and the hometown of emperors and famous generals. Liu Bu did not sit in Fengyang city and enjoy Qingfu, but sent elite troops to wipe out and bandits everywhere, which won great welcome from the local people.

You should know that although Hong Chengchou stationed more than 100000 troops near Fengyang, his army is still like in Xuzhou. He lives near the city. He doesn't chase and kill the enemy everywhere. He doesn't dare to go into the mountains to hunt the enemy. He only knows that he wants soldiers, food and money.

In fact, it's no wonder Hong Chengchou. Although he has so many troops, there are no two cities that can fight. More importantly, the local people have great opinions on them and refuse to supply food and grass. There is a huge gap in their food.

You know, if a soldier can't even eat enough, you still expect him to fight. Is it possible?

Therefore, the best way for Hong Chengchou's army is to stay in the city and sleep every day. This is the most energy-saving way, because they don't have to fight and sleep in the barracks. They can only eat one meal.

This is basically a vicious circle. The local authorities are unwilling to provide them with food and grass because of the unfavorable suppression of bandits, while the local authorities are unwilling to go all out to suppress bandits because they are unwilling to provide them with food and grass. The contradictions between the two sides are getting bigger and bigger, and the conflict of opinions is intensifying, so it is determined that there is no way to reconcile them.

Governor Zhu Dadian made trouble almost every three days. He wanted Hong Chengchou to leave. Hong Chengshou also kept asking Zhu Dadian for trouble, hoping that he would provide more food and grass.

It's a fight between immortals, but they don't want to provoke them, so the best way is to "follow Zhu Dadian's orders, go around to suppress bandits, and eliminate all bandits and exiles in Fengyang mansion within three months.

In fact, it's not that he wants to listen to Zhu Dadian, but that he doesn't want to get involved in the struggle between Zhu Dadian and Hong Chengchou.

What are the benefits of his participation in these upper class struggles? The greatest advantage is that he sent troops everywhere to eliminate bandits and bandits. You know, after the rampant bandits in Fengyang mansion, the power structure in many places has been destroyed and a power vacuum has been formed. When he sent troops to officially take over the power vacuum, at least he can arrange a large number of positions and positions to serve the people All the men got good jobs.

With Liu Bu's authority, he wants to ask for some positions and appoint some personnel. Even governor Zhu Dadian must give him some thin noodles. Local dignitaries and squires must give him some face. As long as he doesn't look ugly, everyone must give him some face, because he has become a local giant and can't even give him a sour jujube He eats.

You should know that Liu Bu ascended with the strength of the army. This is not a silver wax gun head. Local dignitaries and squires can't ignore them and only give them some leftovers. Even Zhang Xianzhong's exile army let them wipe out and defeat the most famous strong man in the world. This is not an easy soft persimmon. Don't give it to him The advantage is that it will probably make everyone fly with eggs.

It can be said that as long as Liu Bu doesn't look ugly, he will get what he wants and such a large place, but his influence will expand rapidly. Many of his Liu family's servants, soldiers and servants have been appointed as officials by him and become squire officials.

It is precisely because of these advantages that Liu Bu will not stay in Fengyang city. Instead, he will lead his troops to suppress bandits and hunt down rogue bandits. As long as all the rogue bandits in Fengyang mansion are exterminated, he will win the support of local villagers and win everyone's favor, and he can make a fortune here.

Fengyang has just experienced a tragic disaster, and the emperor is very afraid of it. He will never allow another accident in Fengyang house. If there is no special situation, he can't dispatch Liu Bu's troops to leave, because letting Liu Bu guard here is the best way to ensure that Fengyang is safe. Not only the emperor thinks so, but also all civil and military officials in the court I think so.

This is also related to the Liu family's secretly sending people to carry out activities. That is to build momentum. With Liu Bu in charge, Fengyang is as stable as Mount Tai. If Liu Bu is not there, Fengyang is in danger, so it will cause a kind of ramming. That is, who proposes to transfer Liu Bu, who must be responsible for the safety of Fengyang, and who dares to bear such responsibility?

After Cao Wenzhao set out for the war, he also quickly achieved results. He is an excellent general. Once he set out for the war, he will go all out without leaving his hand.

Cao Wenzhao led his elite troops to go deep alone and deep all night. He caught up with the main force of the roving bandits and rushed to the roving bandits tens of miles away from the Henan Company camp. In Shangzhou, jinlingchuan won successive victories.

Especially in jinlingchuan, Cao Wenzhao met the old camp of itinerant bandits and the camp of tens of thousands of family members. Cao Wenzhao also refused to let go and killed them all. Cao Wenzhao personally led the elite cavalry to rush up, but when he heard the cry of his daughter's child, he shocked the valley and carried out merciless blood washing.

There was a large-scale bandit rebellion in the Ming Dynasty, and its source was mainly in the northwest. The reason why there was a large-scale peasant uprising in the northwest was very simple. There was a large-scale famine. From the first year of Chongzhen to the fourth year of Chongzhen, there was a severe drought in the northwest every year, and there was no better year. Without food, famine followed, "white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no chicken crowing for thousands of miles".

Didn't the Ming Dynasty expect to provide disaster relief to the northwest? Yes, but the court had no money, not no income, because the common currency was silver at that time, but the silver of the Ming government was very limited.

Since ancient times, Chinese people have been very fond of real gold and silver. When they get it, they are not willing to use it. Instead, they keep it at home or dissolve it into sculptures to improve the grade. However, the economy of the Ming Dynasty is not depressed, but the market economy is more and more developed. Everyone uses silver, and naturally they use it less once. In these years, the silver in the hands of the government is less and less, which is called silver disaster.

Then there was the rare little ice age, when the temperature was abnormal and the northwest region suffered a severe drought, resulting in reduced grain production and famine. The imperial court did not provide silver relief, so the local people took risks and rose up.

When there is rebellion, there is repression. Generally speaking, there are fewer and fewer generals who can fight in the later period of a dynasty.

But now, on the contrary, more and more people can play. The world-famous ones are yuan chenghuan, Hong Chengchou, Cao Wenzhao, Chen Qiyu, Lu Xiangsheng, sun chuanting and others. However, if the first brave general at that time was undoubtedly Cao Wenzhao.

At that time, there was a saying among the people that "there was a Cao in the army, and the rogue was frightened when he heard it".
