    What can we do if there is an imperial edict?

    Xiong Wencan regretted so much that his intestines turned green.  That day I felt sorry for the jewelry and pretending to be an upright official.  This time, I put my life in the ghost judge's pocket.  For a moment, Xiong Wencan scratched his head and head anxiously, and suddenly his eyes lit up.  My heart said, rather than die, I would rather pretend to be a fool.  Maybe if Banzai gets angry, he can spare me this errand.  Thinking of this, Xiong Wencan grabbed the pen in his hand and wrote a memorial to Chongzhen.  This is one of the famous passages in history: "Five Difficulties and Four Impossibles".

    A few days later, the memorial flew to the capital.  After reading it, Chongzhen almost pulled out a few strands of his beard.  What is this thing called: "In ancient times, those who used military force always chose the right time to attack."

    You don¡¯t send troops, but if Zhang Xianzhong does, are we all waiting to be stabbed?  There is also this: "What worries thieves is food. You can burn the food from Hunan and other five provinces. The thieves will be defeated."

    What a genius! The thieves were defeated, but the people in the five provinces also starved to death!  Chongzhen was so angry that he ordered: Xiong Wencan, stop pretending to be a grandson for me!  If you can't kill Zhang Xianzhong, I'll chop your head off!

    Xiong Wencan almost burst into tears after receiving the imperial edict, so he had no choice but to comply.

    On the way, the first thing Xiong Wencan did was to spend a lot of money to recruit two thousand firearms soldiers to serve as his own bodyguard.  Then he invited a fortune teller known as the "Dongshan Immortal" to tell his fortune.

    The fortune teller told him that "if noble people help, thieves will be defeated".

    This fortune teller is really accurate, Xiong Wencan¡¯s noble man has indeed arrived:

    Ding Yunyi!

    Ding Yunyi fought fiercely one after another.  Zhang Xianzhong was killed almost to death and was forced to hide in Gucheng.  But what Ding Yunyi said to Xiong Wencan came into play again:

    "It is better to suppress than to appease"!

    Xiong Wencan decided to "care" Zhang Xianzhong.

    And this.  But he hit it off with Zhang Xianzhong.

    Zhang Xianzhong was so worried that he wanted to hit the wall.  Suddenly I heard an envoy coming with a letter to persuade him to surrender.  Zhang Xianzhong rolled his eyes and remembered the stories Mr. Lang once told him.  So he let the visitor in, bluffed for a while, and then plucked up the courage to put forward two conditions:

    You may not disband or disband my team.  If you agree, I will surrender!

    Originally, Zhang Xianzhong had no illusions about the conditions he proposed. Who would have thought that in less than two days, the messenger would bring Xiong Wencan¡¯s answer: Agree to the conditions proposed by Zhang Xianzhong!

    Zhang Xianzhong felt relieved.

    Zhou Yu could have Huang Gai trick Cao Cao into defeating him.  Tang Sai'er was able to use false surrender to defeat the officers and soldiers sent by Emperor Yongle. Now, in the most difficult time, he could also rely on false surrender to gain a breathing space for himself.

    After agreeing to surrender, Zhang Xianzhong distributed 40,000 troops in the suburbs of Gucheng, his headquarters.  It is divided into four battalions, each led by a general.  During the rest period, grass was gathered to store grain, weapons were built, troops were recruited, and soldiers were trained.  Zhang Xianzhong also continued to ask Mr. Lang to lecture him on "The Art of War", sum up experiences and lessons, and wait for the opportunity to make a comeback.

    Of course, Xiong Wencan never imagined that Zhang Xianzhong was pretending to surrender.

    But no matter what, Zhang Xianzhong surrendered and Li Zicheng suffered a disastrous defeat.  The troops were almost completely lost. When the news reached the capital, there was great joy both inside and outside the court.

    Ding Yunyi, Ding Yunyi again!

    Every time Ding Yunyi appears, it always brings surprises to everyone.  Every time Ding Yunyi comes, he always brings victory to the court again and again!

    First, Gao Yingxiang was captured alive by him, and then Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng were defeated by him one after another. He accounted for almost half of the credit for the Central Plains being able to be pacified.

    Beijing.  Ding Yunyi's name is being sung everywhere.

    Of course, there is also Yang Sichang who proposed the strategy of "four positives, six corners, and ten sides of the net".

    Yang Sichang felt proud at this moment, not only because he proposed the strategy of "four righteousnesses and six corners, and ten sides of the net", but more importantly, he used the right person. It was this person who completely "killed the rebels"  "pacified":

    Ding Yunyi!

    You are so proud of yourself. Even when facing Emperor Chongzhen, Yang Sichang was full of praise: "Your Majesty, although I proposed 'four righteousnesses, six corners, and ten sides of the net' this time, Ding Yunyi's contribution cannot be attributed to him."  Annihilation. This man is decisive in killing and defeating giants like Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng. He is really my best general in the Ming Dynasty!"

    Emperor Chongzhen was in a good mood after the bandits were wiped out: "Yes, I said that day, if the court was grateful to people like Ding Xiangwen, why would it have to worry about bandits? Rewards, big rewards! Promotion, I want to be promoted  His official!"

    "Your Majesty, Ding Yunyi is already the deputy general. If he is promoted, he will be the commander-in-chief." Wang Chengen reminded at the side.

      "General Soldier? He should be the General Soldier." Chongzhen said with a smile: "Yang Sichang, what do you think?"

    Yang Sichang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, although Ding Yunyi is a little younger, he is brave and resourceful. What is even more rare is that he is loyal to the court. He has made such great achievements this time. It would be unreasonable not to promote him."  ¡±

    Wang Chengen coughed, but Chongzhen, who was in a good mood, smiled and said: "Wang Chengen, I know that you are also loyal to me, but then, you should read these two notes first."

    After saying that, he clicked on the two folds placed on the case.

    Wang Chengen carefully held it up. One was from Zhang Kentang, the governor of Fujian, and the other was from Lu Qicheng, the supervisor sent by the emperor to Taiwan.

    "Both excerpts, without exception, talked about how Ding Yunyi fulfilled his duties and how he was loyal to the emperor and the court.

    Especially in Lu Qicheng's excerpt, it is said that Taiwan's difficulties are far beyond words, but even in such difficult circumstances, Ding Yunyi still wanted to share the troubles for the court, and he did not hesitate to sell his property and live for a few years.  One hundred thousand victims lost their lives.

    In this book, Ding Yunyi is more than just a loyal minister?  He is simply the most loyal person of all time.

    Wang Chengen never expected that Lu Qicheng's evaluation of Ding Yunyi in the booklet would be so high, so he gradually felt relieved.

    ¡°After all, I was not wrong about Ding Yunyi, and Ding Yunyi was still loyal to the court.

    "Pass the decree." Chongzhen thought for a moment: "Jin Ding Yunyi is the commander-in-chief of Fujian. He is also a hussar general and a guard. But" Chongzhen thought for a moment: "Let him  Stationed in Taiwan and Penghu, those matters in Fujian should still be taken care of by Zhang Kentang and Zheng Zhilong"

    Although Chongzhen Duoding Yunyi no longer had the previous suspicion, he was still on guard against him.  There is a dignified Fujian general, but he only has jurisdiction over Taiwan and Penghu. The scope is not as large as that of a deputy general like Zheng Zhilong. It is actually clear what is going on.

    Except for the eunuchs around you, even the ministers you trust.  Chongzhen would also be more careful and guarded.

    But no matter what, at least the youngest general soldier in the history of Ming Dynasty was born:

    Ding Yunyi!

    ??From a ninth-grade patrol inspector to a dignified commander-in-chief.  Ding Yunyi climbed to this position in the shortest time.  It was a miracle for everyone.

    "Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng are at peace, and the Central Plains can probably be settled." Chongzhen changed the topic from rogue bandits: "Today Lu Xiang was promoted to the capital, and the border is tight. I am thinking of transferring Ding Yunyi to the border  .¡±

    Yang Sichang and Wang Chengen looked at each other in confusion. How come the emperor suddenly changed his mind and wanted to drag Ding Yunyi to the border again?  He went from Taiwan to the Central Plains, and then from the Central Plains to the border. Is there only one Ding Yunyi in the Ming Dynasty?

    "I just keep these words in my heart, how can I dare to say them out?"

    Chongzhen hasn¡¯t finished speaking yet.  The eunuch Wu Zhi outside had already hurried in: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Fujian."

    "Urgent report from Fujian?" Chongzhen frowned: "Say."

    "After the defeat of the joint fleet organized by Hongyi, Folangji, Qianlasi, and Britain, they were ready to move and refused to admit defeat. They also organized a fleet and planned to attack Taiwan in a large scale. Taiwan's Tiger Guard Fleet went to sea to meet the attack, and made three consecutive battles.  Eight warships were lost and we are now struggling to support ourselves"

    "What?" Chongzhen cried out: "The Central Plains has just been settled. Why are those Hongyi and Folangji people showing up again? Where are Zhang Kentang and Zheng Zhilong? Why don't they massively reinforce Taiwan?"

    "Back to Your Majesty, in the past, when Zou Weilian was patrolling Fujian, he wiped out the rebellious Lin Bandit Kingdom in Fujian. Now, the remnants of the Lin Bandit Kingdom are ready to stir up troubles in various parts of Fujian. They have established some kind of 'Yixiaotang', with tens of thousands of people.  The crowd is planning a rebellion, and Zhang Fushuai is mobilizing troops to exterminate him. As for Zheng Zhilong, the pirates took advantage of the four-nation joint fleet to attack again and wreaked havoc on the merchants at sea. Zheng Zhilong is currently encircling and suppressing him.

    "Okay, okay, you won't let me have a day of peace." Chongzhen was happy for a while, but he was upset by these situations again: "The Central Plains is in trouble, and Fujian is in chaos again. Lu Qicheng  What? Does he have any secrets?"

    "Yes." Wu Zhi quickly handed over Lu Qicheng's secret folder.

    Chongzhen took a brief look, his face even more irritated: "The situation is far more serious than what was said. Lu Qicheng's secret book said that those Hongyi and Folangji people knew that Ding Yunyi had left Taiwan, and several small-scale  After the invasion, Taipei and Peng had no one to command them, so they could only hold on. Later, they learned that several places were invading in large numbers, so they could only fight against it. Unexpectedly, due to the lack of unity, they had no choice but to fight.He tried his best, but suffered a huge defeat.  Okay, okay, the Central Plains wants Ding Yunyi, the borderland wants Ding Yunyi, and now Fujian wants him too.  I, I wish I could divide Ding Yunyi into three and use them!  "

    Yang Sichang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the Central Plains has been decided. Although the border is tight, the troops from the Central Plains can be mobilized and we can deal with it, not to mention"

    When he said this, he seemed to be worried. Chongzhen said impatiently: "Don't be hesitant."

    "Yes." Yang Sichang emboldened himself: "Use troops from the Central Plains to adjust Ding Yunyi, and use troops from the border to adjust Ding Yunyi. I'm afraid that by going back and forth like this, not only Ding Yunyi will be exhausted, but other soldiers will also have complaints. Is my name really true?  Is there only one Ding Huben? So, in my opinion, it¡¯s better to let Ding Yunyi go back.¡±

    "If everyone can be like Ding Yunyi, why should I move him around?" Chongzhen sighed: "Forget it, there is no problem in the Central Plains now. Fujian is in danger and there is no room for loss. Let Ding Yunyi go back.  "

    "Your Majesty is wise."

    "Let's all go, I want to have some peace and quiet."

    Wang Chengen sent Yang Sichang out and suddenly asked: "Master Yang, this Ding Yunyi has just left Fujian, why is Fujian in chaos? The timing is too coincidental, isn't it?"

    Yang Sichang was startled: "Do you think there is a ghost here?"

    "I didn't say that, I didn't say that." Wang Chengen shook his head meaningfully: "I just think it's too coincidental. I can't tell what's wrong. It stands to reason that the four-nation combined fleet was defeated, and they came to take revenge.  It¡¯s understandable, but why are the traitors and pirates making trouble at this time? What a coincidence.¡±

    Yang Sichang's eyes moved: "In that case, why didn't father-in-law express his doubts in front of the Holy Master?"

    Wang Chengen smiled bitterly: "You and I both know the temper of the Holy One very well. He has great trust in Ding Yunyi. Furthermore, Ding Yunyi helped the court to calm down the troubles among the people in his heart. If I judge the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, it will be hurt.  It has touched the hearts of the soldiers. There is another point that is more important. If the situation in Fujian is really that serious, if I say something inappropriate in front of the Holy Master, won¡¯t it delay the military situation on the front line and destroy the Great Wall of Ming Dynasty?  "

    "My father-in-law's loyalty to the Ming Dynasty can be seen from the sun and the moon." Yang Sichang complimented smoothly.

    Wang Chengen had a worried look on his face: "Zhang Xianzhong could have been killed this time, but Xiong Wencan resorted to conciliation. Originally, the Holy One hated Xiong Wencan to the core, but Xiong Wencan read a book, and the Holy One actually agreed after reading it. I really  I'm very worried. I heard that Zhang Xianzhong is ambitious and scheming. I'm afraid that he will rebel again after he surrenders."

    "My father-in-law is worried." Yang Sichang said this, but in his heart he disagreed.

    He really couldn't think of anything to worry about.

    "My own plan of "four righteousnesses, six corners, and ten sides of the net" is so sharp. Those rebels will either be wiped out or surrender. Otherwise, is there any third way to go?

    Furthermore, after Zhang Xianzhong surrendered, a large number of officers and soldiers were there to monitor him. What kind of disturbance could he cause?

    ¡°It¡¯s just that Wang Chengen is the most trusted person around the emperor. Although he doesn¡¯t agree with it, he still has to follow his wishes.

    Wang Chengen warned: "Master Yang, you are the Minister of the Ministry of War, so you will have to worry about these things. One is that Zhang Xianzhong must pay close attention, and the other is that Li Zicheng has not been arrested so far, so we must work hard to arrest him."  . Now the imperial court is rushing to use troops against Liaodong, and the Central Plains really cannot afford any more chaos. "

    "Yes, I always remember the grace of the Holy Spirit in my heart." Yang Sichang said, but sneered in his heart.

    A eunuch can just serve the emperor well, so why should he worry so much about important affairs of the court?  He actually doesn't trust people like Ding Yunyi. Is there anyone in the world who is more loyal to the court than Ding Yunyi?
