Chapter 103: Military Martyrs' Shrine, Wu Zhiwang commits suicide, the complacent Chong
I don’t know if it’s because of the fire or the strong wind, but the thick fog is rapidly thinning and dissipating.
Wu Zhiwang and others were able to see the situation on the surface of the Wei River more and more clearly.
The entire surface of the Wei River was engulfed in fire.
Seeing this scene, Wu Zhiwang staggered, his eyes went dark, and then he fainted.
Wu Zhiwang’s last thought.
It's over, completely over, everything is over!
By the time Wang Chao and his men returned and dealt with post-war matters, the sky was already gradually brightening.
After a long while, Wu Zhiwang came to his senses and asked again.
It was not until the early morning of the third day when everyone retreated to Xiangquan that Wu Zhiwang faced the morning light and weakly opened his eyes.
"Sir, you have been unconscious for more than two days. We have now left Gongchang Prefecture and are in Xiangquan, Fengxiang Prefecture."
Now, Wu Zhiwang committed suicide in advance in Xiangquan, Fengxiang Prefecture because of the dynasty and the people's rescue army.
At this time, Wang Chao also received the news that Wu Zhiwang committed suicide, and he couldn't help but feel sad.
On the other side, Wang Chao and others who had already landed had also led three thousand rescue troops to the scene.
Wang Chao sat in the main seat, looking a little heavy.
In the following days, Shuntian Prefecture was in turmoil.
"Great leader!"
Looking at Wang Shi who was leaving excitedly, Ma Youzhi couldn't help but smile helplessly, but he still gave a military salute.
Finally, I don’t have to stay here feeling depressed.
However, Wang Chao did not take it too seriously. After all, he was just the governor of the Ming court and his enemy.
On December 13, Wei Zhongxian and Li Chaoqin hanged themselves in an inn in Fucheng.
It had been only three months since Chongzhen ascended the throne, and only ten days since he really exerted his power. Wei Zhongxian and his cronies, who had once been rampant and powerful in the court, were almost all killed by Chongzhen.
". I think Wei Zhongxian and others not only coveted the precious weapons, but also messed up the criminal code;
The retreat route was cut off and the area was engulfed in flames.
"Military Merit Department, do a good job of recording military merits and providing follow-up compensation for deceased soldiers. The families of deceased soldiers must not be wronged in the slightest.
Cast our military medals for the people's salvation army, give them to meritorious soldiers and their families, and give priority to military families in all matters
If there is an elderly person in the family, the monthly allowance should not be short of money and food until the elderly person dies.
If a family has a wife and young children, the monthly stipend is five cents, until the children reach adulthood."
"What's wrong with me? Where am I? What's the situation?"
And since he is an enemy, it is better for him to die.
Soon after, under the impeachment of Yang Lian and others, Chongzhen finally exiled Wei Zhongxian to Fengyang Prefecture to guard the ancestral tomb.
They also invaded and robbed almost all of my ancestors' stored-up treasures, the rare treasures handed down from generation to generation, and the gold and silver.
At this time, he once again turned his attention to Shaanxi. The existence of Wang Er and Wang Chao's salvation army became more and more annoying in his eyes.
However, Governor Wu Zhiwang has been in a coma, which makes everyone very worried.
In the empty room, Wu Zhiwang felt a chill in his heart.
When he woke up again, it was already late at night. Looking at the servants who were serving him, Wu Zhiwang waved his hand with difficulty and asked them to leave.
Wang Chao and his men chased and killed the prisoners for nearly ten miles before they slowly withdrew their troops and returned with the surrendered prisoners.
Anyway, he is almost ready now, and Wei Zhongxian basically can't cause any big trouble.
He could not do anything about the rebels far away in Gongchang Prefecture, Shaanxi for the time being, so Wei Zhongxian in front of him became his punching bag.
In this battle, nearly 8,000 Ming troops were killed and nearly 10,000 were captured. It was a great victory.
In this battle alone, nearly two hundred soldiers of the Salvation Army died, and almost everyone was injured.
In this kind of head-on fighting, he wouldn't be able to help much.
Wu Zhiwang muttered to himself, looking at the roof in a daze.
But unexpectedly, Wei Zhongxian was so evil that he refused to change himself and dared to gather fugitives, bring their own knives, and surround every household, as if he were about to rebel."
Wang Shi said something excitedly to Ma Youzhi, and then quickly went down the city gate.
"Open the city gates, soldiers, follow me and kill!"
After helping Wu Zhiwang lie down, everyone looked at the person standing nearby.
However, Wei Zhongxian died happily, but Chongzhen did not.
"My lord, my lord"
At this time, Chongzhen was very proud of himself. He felt that he had killed Wei Zhongxian, a eunuch with great power in the court, in a short period of time, and thought that other things should be easy to deal with as well.
Youzhi, the next step in the city depends on you!
On the other side, after a day and a night of fleeing, most of the Ming army finally escaped from Gongchang Prefecture.
For a moment, Chongzhen felt as if he had the power to control the world.
For a while, the entire Qinzhou city was filled with shouts and cries of killing. It was not until the second watch that the shouts and cries gradually stopped.
However, there are different opinions.
In addition, the commander was in a coma, the army was leaderless, and the soldiers had no fighting spirit, so it was time to start withdrawing.
"kill!"
As soon as he woke up, Wu Zhiwang supported his tired body and asked about the current situation with difficulty.
"Say it."
They really won a great victory this time.
A group of more than 40 carriages, carrying countless gold, silver and jewelry, and more than a thousand soldiers escorted them.
"Your Majesty.
I am ashamed of your Majesty's trust."
Thinking of the Shaanxi uprising, Chongzhen became even angrier and his breathing gradually became heavy.
The real reason was that Wang Shi and his men had a huge disparity in military strength. Even with the support of the city walls for defense, they still suffered heavy casualties in the face of the Ming army's desperate attacks.
This is really what fate has in store for me.
After a long while, Chongzhen suppressed his anger, sat heavily on the dragon throne, and stared at the memorial in front of him in a trance.
Chongzhen first reprimanded Wei Zhongxian, and then, in an urgent journey of 800 miles, issued an edict to promote Li Qiao, the left governor of Shaanxi Province, to the position of governor of Shaanxi, and governor-general of Shaanxi military affairs, in charge of suppressing rebels such as Wang Er and Wang Chao.
"Master Deputy Commander Yan, what should we do now?"
When the news spread, it immediately caused an uproar.
One theory is that he committed suicide out of fear of punishment, while another theory is that Wu Zhiwang died of illness.
Even Wang Shi and staff officer Ma Youzhi suffered minor injuries.
Seeing Wu Zhiwang faint, the surrounding soldiers and generals couldn't help but feel panicked.
I don’t know how the governor Li Qiao, whom he appointed, is carrying out his duties now.
I originally spared you for the sake of my royal brother's face, but now you refuse to repent and even recruit more than a thousand desperate criminals. Are you going to rebel like those traitors in Shaanxi?
Therefore, after cursing, Chongzhen immediately summoned the Jinyiwei and asked them to escort Wei Zhongxian back to Beijing.
A few days later, Cui Chengxiu hanged himself, and Keshi was beaten to death in the laundry department. The angry Chongzhen once again had their bodies lingering, and their heads were hung in the capital and Jizhou respectively.
Afterwards, Wei Zhongxian and the descendants of the Ke family were all beheaded in public.
Wang Shi, Ma Youzhi and other military generals were all moved and stood up to salute.
Wei Zhongxian looked back at the capital, a look of panic and loneliness appeared on his face, and then he turned and got into the carriage.
"On our way, some died, some surrendered, some fled, some scattered. Now we only have a thousand soldiers left."
I haven't personally issued an order to kill you, how could you commit suicide?
Therefore, Chongzhen once again ordered his body to be lingchied and his head to be hung in Hejian Prefecture.
When Emperor Chongzhen received the news, he immediately flew into a rage and cursed Wu Zhiwang for having received the emperor's favor for generations and betraying his trust. Not only had he failed in suppressing the bandits, but he had also committed suicide out of fear of punishment afterwards.
"How many men do we have left?"
"This"
He should have been cut into pieces, but considering that the coffin was still in the funeral procession, he was temporarily placed in Fengyang.
"What should I do?"
They all ran away without caring about anything, regretting that their parents had not given them two more legs.
"kill!"
I will organize people to chase him down."
Although there were still about 20,000 Ming troops, they had completely lost the courage to continue fighting.
Even though he had already anticipated that the situation would not be very good, when he heard this number, Wu Zhiwang still couldn't help feeling despair. His face turned ashen and he trembled and couldn't speak.
These traitors must be wiped out as quickly as possible.
As the city gates opened, Wang Shi led the rescue troops and rushed out.
It can be said that the power is enormous, and he is in charge of both military and civilian finances, but at the same time, the pressure is also great.
"Ok!"
"Yes!"
Wang Shi stood on the top of the city wall, looking at the flames rising from the direction of the Wei River in the distance and the Ming army that were withdrawing one after another. He immediately realized that this meant the support of the leader had arrived.
"My Lord, you finally woke up."
However, the loss suffered by the People's Salvation Army this time was the largest ever.
The most pitiful ones are probably Wei Zhongxian's nephew Wei Liangdong, his great-nephew Wei Pengyi, and Cui Chengxiu's son Cui Tong.
In the next few days, Wang Chao began to make arrangements, looking for people to survey the surrounding terrain and prepare for the establishment of the Martyrs' Shrine.
"Kill!"
Fortunately, everyone is now considered an extraordinary person, and they didn’t feel very tired even though they hadn’t rested for a night.
That was a memorial submitted by Qian Jiazheng, a native of Haiyan, impeaching Wei Zhongxian.
"In addition, I intend to find a Feng Shui treasure land outside Qinzhou City and build a shrine to commemorate the soldiers who died in the battle, so that they can forever enjoy the incense and offerings of our people-saving army and the local people who are protected."
Chongzhen could not help but order people to obtain intelligence from Shaanxi.
"My lord, my lord"
Early the next morning, when the servants opened Wu Zhiwang's room, they were shocked to find that Wu Zhiwang had hanged himself.
This may be the most glorious moment in his life.
In the end, Wu Zhiwang couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. His eyes rolled back and he fainted again.
In short, you, Wei Zhongxian, are too rich and too arrogant, so you'd better die.
Basically, you, Wei Zhongxian, not only violated the law and discipline, but also stole the gold, silver and treasures of my Zhu family.
"puff!"
If he fails to wipe out Wang Er and Wang Chao, he will have to wait for Chongzhen's punishment.
Seeing the powerful and corrupt officials at their side, the people on the road are chilling, such as the eunuch Wei Zhongxian of the East Factory, can he be allowed to escape the punishment of the four villains and the surrender of the evil spirits in one day?
Below, the ten major crimes are listed.
1. Being on equal footing with the emperor; 2. Despising the empress; 3. Manipulating military power; 4. Not respecting one's ancestors; 5. Reducing the titles and ranks of vassal kings; 6. Having no regard for the saints; 7. Indiscriminately granting titles and rewards; 8. Covering up military achievements; 9. Exploiting the people; 10. Accepting bribes and using connections.
Any one of these charges could have sentenced Wei Zhongxian to death.
When Chongzhen got the news, he was furious again. What did Wei Zhongxian want to do? He couldn't help but curse again.
"Good! The leader is finally here.
"Leaving Gongchang Prefecture
Fengxiang Mansion, Xiangquan."
Deputy General Yan looked at the Ming soldiers who were still attacking the city fiercely in the front, and then looked at the Wei River and the fleet that was completely engulfed in fire.
The good mood I felt after receiving a satisfactory memorial just now disappeared in an instant.
"Go and call Wei Zhongxian to me."
When he was only two or three years old, he went to the city with them.
After a slight hesitation, he gave the order straightforwardly.
"One, one thousand."
In history, Wu Zhiwang committed suicide on February 10, the first year of Chongzhen, after the unsuccessful encirclement and suppression of Wang Er.
"Retreat! Evacuate Qinzhou first and wait for the master to wake up."
Seeing this scene, the Ming army, which was originally retreating in an orderly manner, suddenly panicked.
However, in just over ten days, he was able to find out that Li Qiao had received the imperial edict and was preparing to send troops.
Thinking that he had spent more than ten days to execute the eunuch Wei Zhongxian and his gang, but no news had come from Shaanxi, Chongzhen couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and immediately sent an envoy to inquire.
