Ye Bushou said: "General Zhu is cooperating with the officials from Yuzhou to gather the bandits and followers."

"Oh." Ying Yi knew it and said, "How did you do it? How many people have you gathered?"

Ye Bushou said: "Every time the general Zhu sent one army, he captured more than 10,000 prisoners. After the selection and punishment, Liangshan sent him to Nanyang to settle down."

Ying Yi nodded: "If you cannibalize yourself, the murderer will die. Zhu Bingkun should know what I think."

Ye Bushou said, "If you cannibalize people, kill people will die. Every ten thousand, there will be three or four thousand beheads."

Master and apprentice Li Zhenren beside him was stunned.

Li Zhenren said: "Sir, three out of ten are too strict."

Ying Yi shook his head slightly: "The heavy punishment is used in troubled times. People cannibalism is already an animal, and the same is true for killing people. If they do not kill, they will not be able to calm the anger of the public."

He smiled and said to the little Taoist priest beside him, "What do you think?"

The little Taoist priest gritted his teeth: "The sir is right."

Ying Yi laughed loudly.

After laughing, he said, "It's not just killing people to pay for their lives. Master Li should know that I am not big now and I can't afford to raise the people. Since that's the case, why don't I raise the good and use the already nervous food to raise the beasts? Instead of doing so, why don't the good people eat better?"

Zhenren Li was speechless.

After a long time, he said: "It's just that there are too many kills, it's not a good thing."

Ying Yi laughed: "The world is in chaos and morality is in decline, and we are about to use iron-blooded means to correct the chaos."

Then he said Ye Busu, "Where has Zheng Wu and Zheng Jiu's troops been?"

"Zheng Wu and Zheng Jiu, two generals, were fifty miles away from the thief camp and hid in the mountains." Ye Bushou said.

Ying Yi said: "Very good."

He also said: "How long will it take for Zhu Bingkun to be held in the thief to be held?"

"It's expected tomorrow." Ye Bu stopped.

Ying Yi nodded again: "Yes."

Then he said: "Tell them to pay attention to the movements of the thieves at all times. What I want is a complete Kaifeng, not a ruin."

"Here."

Then two fast horses broke out from the team and disappeared soon into the wilderness.

Ying Yi then smiled at Li Zhenren and said, "I want to Kaifeng people's hearts, and the thief is a chess piece to subdue people's hearts for me. However, he can't go too far. He opened the Feng and I rescue Kaifeng, but he can't let him break Kaifeng."

Li Zhenren bowed and bowed: "My wise."

Ying Yi waved his hand: "Where is wise? I was disdainful of such methods, but now I have to do it. I need to stabilize the situation in the Central Plains as soon as possible and don't have much time to subdue the people's hearts."

Li Zhenren said suspiciously: "Sir, it seems that he is a little anxious?"

Ying Yi looked up north: "There is a beast in the north..."

Zhenren Li was stunned and realized for a long time: "What the lord said is, is it the Tartar?"

Before Ying Yi could speak, Li Zhenren said: "The Tartars are indeed a fierce beast. At the beginning of the year, the Ming Dynasty had lost all control of Liaodong. However, Shanhaiguan was in natural danger and the Guanning army also had some combat effectiveness. It is probably not easy for the Tartars to break the gate."

Ying Yi nodded, shook his head again, and asked Zhenren Li, "In the opinion of the real person, am I afraid of the Tartars?"

Li Zhenren shook his head: "Master, why are you afraid of the Tartars?"

Ying Yi nodded: "Yes, I am not afraid of the Tartars. How many he comes, how many I kill. But can billions of people in the northern land fear the Tartars?"

Zhenren Li was speechless.

Ying Yi said: "Since the rise of the Tartars, they have repeatedly invaded the south, and have regarded the people of the Xia people from Yanhuang and Miao as livestock and lambs, and killed and plundered them wantonly. The poison they performed was even worse than that of the thieves. They were not of our race."

Zhenren Li nodded continuously.

Ying Yi said: "But in fact, the population of the Tartars is only one million and the soldiers are only one hundred thousand, just a mere slap. Although the Ming Dynasty was declining, how could it not be able to resist? Because the outside and the inside were controlled, the Liaodong warlords raised the thief and respected themselves, so they were out of control."

Speaking of this, he sneered: "What else do you say is that you are invincible? The world is so ridiculous! The Tartars are not copper heads and iron arms, so why can't they be able to fight? They are all fed to dogs every year. What do you think I have any expectations for the so-called Guanning Army?"

He sneered repeatedly: "It's all animals. He watched the Tartars kill and plunder their own people, but did not do anything. He only knew that the yellow and white things had left their country dignity on the ground and let the barbarians trampled on them. They all deserved to die."

Master and apprentice Li sighed loudly.

Ying Yi laughed for a while and said, "The Ming Dynasty should be destroyed, but the people should not suffer. Since I do not have expectations for the Guanning Army, I will naturally strengthen myself quickly. Once the Tartars enter the pass, I must react immediately. Could it be that if the Tartars kill all the north before sending troops?"

He pointed at Kaifeng with his back finger: "The millions of households in Kaifeng are my expectations."

His five fingers opened and closed: "The land of Central Plains is where I hope."

"I have the hearts of the people, but I don't have so much time to grind. I can only get it with extraordinary means."

Ying Yi said boldly, and there seemed to be a scene of sadness flashing in front of him. Three massacres of Jiading and ten days in Yangzhou... These national sorrows must not happen under his nose!

...

There is a pot of porridge in the Central Plains, and there is also a pot of porridge in the capital.

As the heart of the head of the Ming Empire, this ancient city reveals colorful decay under the gray sky.

Refugees, beggars, peddlers, pawns, high-ranking officials, nobles, one day, one has a bright light, a drunken life and a dream, everything is here and is fully reflected.

The refugees waited for hunger and cold, the people were in trouble and had a hard time, the dignitaries were drunk and dreaming, and scholars were invincible. Except for the emperor who lived in the Forbidden City, he turned white with his head, it seemed that few people could wake up from this dream.

In the Qianqing Palace, a pen was washed and fell, turning into pieces to bloom.

The emperor in his thirties looked like artemisia in the wind, and his white yellow robe covered his weak body that could not bear the weight of a magical weapon.

Emperor Chongzhen glared wide, and a strange redness surged on his pale face. His hands trembled, and his eyes moved away from a report with difficulty.

"Why did Sun Chuanting lose? Why did he lose?!"

The emperor slapped the dragon's desk and shook a lot of memorials all over the ground.

The eunuchs and palace maids around were silent.

A pair of thin hands picked up the memorials scattered on the ground in one by one: "Don't be angry, so as not to get angry."

Emperor Chongzhen took a few breaths, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said, "When you say, what is Sun Chuanting doing for?! I have high hopes for him, so he rewarded him?!"

As he spoke, his anger could no longer be suppressed.

Wang Chengen waved his hand, waved a group of eunuchs and palace maids, and bowed and said, "Sun Chuanting repays his death, why should the emperor ask for too much?"

He looked at the emperor who was in his thirties and was in his prime but had white hair, and sighed in his heart, saying, "Although Sun Chuanting was defeated, the Central Plains had never been deteriorated. Ying Yi, the general of Huguang, was good at fighting, and he would be able to defeat the thieves. Don't worry, the emperor, maybe there will be good news in a few days."

When the emperor heard this, he was angry and said, "The companion is right."
