    "Zhang Xianzhong left Gucheng, and Li Zicheng also came out again. Where are those officials, what are they doing? What is Xiong Wencan doing? What is He Renlong doing?"

    Chongzhen was furious, with veins popping out on his face: "We were still outside the gates. They were completely defeated and lost their troops. Zu Dashou was defeated, and Hong Chengchou, who I had placed infinite high hopes on, was also defeated. How many more defeats will they have to fight before they are willing to give up? Is it really true?  Do you want Zhen¡¯s head to be given to the bandits and Jinlu?¡±

    "Your Majesty, calm down." Zhou Yanru, the chief minister of the cabinet, said hurriedly.

    "Calm down, calm down, I have no anger anymore." Chongzhen actually smiled at this time, but his smile was very bitter: "I have high expectations for you ministers, and I always hope that you can do something for me and the court.  , but you only bring me disappointment again and again. I don¡¯t understand. Is it because I don¡¯t give you more rights or more trust? Why do you always let me sleep?  What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    Several ministers were silent, no one dared to speak.

    Chongzhen was silent for a moment and picked up an urgent report at hand: "This is from Fujian. Fujian used to be as stable as Mount Tai, but it is different now. Within a few days, I received several urgent military reports from Fujian  In this case, Zheng Zhilong's nephew Zheng Hong came forward to accuse Zheng Zhilong of connecting with Jinlu and conspiring to rebel. I didn't believe it before, but I thought that although Zheng Zhilong was a pirate and unruly, he never had any intention of rebellion.  , he was still conscientious in his work, but these two military affairs came again. Okay, okay, Zheng Zhilong rebelled directly"

    The whole court has known about this for a long time.  Everyone was silent.

    Zheng Zhilong¡¯s rebellion was so unexpected. No one had thought that there would be any trouble in Fujian before. But just when the Ming Dynasty was in turmoil, Fujian stabbed the court again.

    Zhou Yanru gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, although there is a rebellion in Fujian, in addition to Zhang Kentang, there is also the Ming Dynasty's most powerful general, Ding Yunyi, who is stationed in Taipeng. Maybe it can be put down overnight, right?"

    "Zheng Zhilong is entrenched in Quanzhou and has three thousand warships. I'm afraid it won't be easy to pacify." Deng Yulie, the Minister of Civil Affairs, said: "Ding Yunyi's courage is the courage on land. Although he has the courage to defeat the combined fleet of the four countries.  Wu Lie, but there is still a big gap between his fleet and the Zheng family fleet"

    "Ding Yunyi, Ding Yunyi." Chongzhen suddenly sighed: "When Zhongyuan was in emergency, I transferred him to the Central Plains. When the border was in emergency, I transferred him to the border again. Now Fujian is in emergency and relies on him. I can't wait to transfer him.  He treats it as three people, but is it true that only Ding Yunyi can use it in my court?"

    Who dares to intervene at this time and ask for trouble?

    "Report, Fujian Governor Zhang Kentang urgently reports!"

    Wang Chengen, who remained silent all the time, took Zhang Kentang's urgent report and presented it to Chongzhen.  Chongzhen's face looked uncertain, and there was even a hint of anger in his eyebrows.

    The ministers below are all frightened. Enough things have happened, is there another trouble?

    "Good Ding Yunyi. Good Ding Yunyi!" Chongzhen suddenly threw the memorial on the dragon case: "We just talked about Ding Yunyi, and now Ding Yunyi has caused trouble for me. Dear gentlemen, do you know what is written in this urgent report?  ?¡±

    He smiled coldly: "Fujian Governor Zhang Kentang urgently reports that Ding Yunyi has disobedient intentions!"

    The whole room was shocked when he said one sentence.  This is really surprising news.

    Ding Yunyi was not only famous in the court for his bravery, but also famous throughout the world for his loyalty.  No matter what the court asked him to do, he always worked hard without any regrets.  From Fujian to the Central Plains, from the Central Plains to Liaodong, without this man fighting bloody battles time and time again.  I'm afraid the situation in Ming Dynasty is no longer what it is today

    But is this brave and loyal general going to rebel today?

    Chongzhen's eyes were gloomy: "In Zhang Kentang's excerpt, it was said that Ding Yunyi recruited troops and greatly expanded his power in the past few years, and he no longer paid attention to him as a governor. This time Zheng Zhilong rebelled, but gave Ding Yunyi an excellent opportunity  ¡±

    "Report! Report urgently from Fujian Governor Zhang Kentang!"

    here we go again?  The ministers couldn't help but look at each other.

    When he finished reading the new emergency report, Chongzhen was furious and slapped the memorial tightly: "Okay, very good, Ding Yunyi is really going to rebel!"

    This new memorial records that Ding Yunyi was arrogant and domineering, blatantly not allowing any troops except his Tiger Guards to enter Quanzhou, and even detained the troops Zhang Kentang sent to Quanzhou in advance, and at this moment Xiamen also  Once it fell into his hands, Zhang Kentang's power couldn't get in at all.

    Chongzhen¡¯s cold eyes fell on Ding Yunyi¡¯s father, Ding Yuanzhao, the right minister of the Ministry of War: ¡°DingYuanzhao, that's your son. How do you defend your son?  "

    Everyone thought that Ding Yuanzhao would kneel down to plead guilty, but Ding Yuanzhao was not afraid at all: "Your Majesty, my son, I know very well that Ding Yunyi will never rebel against the imperial court!"

    Ding Yuanzhao was so calm and calm that Chongzhen was startled for a moment.

    Ding Yuanzhao said calmly: "I am willing to give Master Xiang a guarantee, and I will never rebel."

    "Humph, you are so confident in your son"

    "Urgent news from Fujian!" Before Chongzhen finished speaking, such a voice came again.

    The ministers couldn¡¯t help but smile bitterly. Fujian was really lively today.

    Chongzhen was too lazy to read: "Wang Chengen, tell me what happened in Fujian."

    Wang Chengen took a quick look and said, "Your Majesty, this is an urgent report from Ding Yunyi"

    "Oh, Ding Yunyi?" Chongzhen was a little surprised: "What else did he say?"

    "Wu Liebo, Fujian General Soldier, Shanghu Army, Hussar General Ding Yunyi, impeached Fujian Governor Zhang Kentang"

    It¡¯s lively, it¡¯s really lively today. The discussion was originally about the military situation in the Central Plains and border areas, but who would have thought that in an instant, it would be completely overshadowed by the emergencies that appeared one after another in Fujian When Wang Chengen said these words, everyone  The ministers thought so in their hearts.

    "Zhang Kentang, the governor of Fujian, was arrogant and violent. He was domineering and entrenched in Fujian, causing harm to the local area and persecuting loyal people. The people complained and the army was furious. The disaster was far greater than that of Zheng Zhilong. If this thief is not eliminated, Fujian will never be able to live in peace.  "

    With Wang Chengen¡¯s voice.  The ministers were all uneasy.  You say he is domineering, and he says you are domineering. I am afraid only the person involved knows what happened.

    "In addition to Ding Yunyi, those who jointly impeached Zhang Kentang include Quanzhou prefect Ye Yuanqian, Huben Guard Supervisor Lu Qicheng and others."

    Chongzhen fell silent.

    Ye Yuan was Ding Yunyi¡¯s brother-in-law, and his family helped his family speak.  Of course it was excusable, but Lu Qicheng was sent by himself to monitor Ding Yunyi, and now that he has said so, this matter may not be that simple.

    In fact, from his heart, although he does not trust Ding Yunyi that much, he always hopes that Ding Yunyi has not rebelled.  Distrust is distrust, but he knows very well that Ming will never find anyone like Ding Yunyi again.

    Such a brave general, such a general who has placed infinite high hopes on himself

    Chongzhen said slowly: "Zhang Kentang impeached Ding Yunyi, and Ding Yunyi impeached Zhang Kentang. Who do you think is disloyal and who is causing harm to the place?"

    "There is no doubt that it must be Ding Yunyi!" Deng Yulie said immediately: "Zhang Kentang has always had a reputation for being honest, how could he harm the place as Ding Yunyi said? Your Majesty, I sincerely request that Ding Yunyi be removed from office and be escorted back to the court for trial in order to uphold the law of the country!"

    Yang Sichang, the Minister of War who had just returned from the Central Plains to supervise the war, snorted coldly: "Master Deng, why are you so sure? You, Master Deng, and Zhang Kentang are from the same hometown, why do you always speak for them? Ding Yunyi's loyalty and bravery are known to the world, who can say that?"  I believe he is treasonous, but it is absolutely impossible for him to say that he is treasonous!"

    Then, he played loudly: "Your Majesty, Ding Yunyi has fought countless bloody battles and almost lost his life several times for the imperial court. No matter what the imperial court asked him to do, he never had any reason to refuse. Could it be that he would suddenly rebel? Besides,  Is there any reason for the Quanzhou magistrate and the Huben Guards to impeach Zhang Kentang? I sincerely request that Zhang Kentang be removed from office and a more capable official be sent to Fujian!"

    Chongzhen was a little embarrassed. At this time, he didn¡¯t know who to believe

    Ding Yunyi or Zhang Kentang?

    "Great victory in Quanzhou! Great victory in Quanzhou!"

    At this moment, this urgent cry attracted everyone¡¯s attention!

    "Great victory in Quanzhou! On the sixth day of May, Fujian General Soldier Ding Yunyi mobilized all the elite Tiger Guards to attack Quanzhou. Ding Yunyi went to the front line in person, took the lead, and fought bloody battles. On May 12th, Wu Liebo, Fujian General Soldier, Shanghu Army, and Hussar  General Ding Yunyi's Hu Ben Guards launched the most ferocious attack on Quanzhou! Zheng Zhilong was defeated and retreated from Quanzhou! "

    "Ah - OK!" Chongzhen was startled and shouted out happily. The angry suspicion towards Ding Yunyi just now disappeared without a trace.

    Yang Sichang also had a smile on his face.

    Ding Yunyi, Ding Yunyi, whenever the most critical moment comes, Ding Yunyi will never disappoint.  No matter what kind of critical situation arises, as long as this person exists, unexpected miracles can always be created

    ?But Ding Yuanzhao¡¯s brows frowned deeply for some unknown reason

    "My lords, this matter is a bit troublesome now." Chongzhen said: "From the sixth to the twelfth day of the fifth lunar month, Ding Yunyi captured Quanzhou in only six days. If such a general is really a loyal minister,  That is my blessing.¡±

    Ding Yuanzhao suddenly trembled in his heart The emperor used the word "seize", which showed that he still did not trust Ding Yunyi in his heart, and still suspected that Ding Yunyi might rebel  .

    Ding Yuanzhao was a little confused. Why did his son fall out with Zhang Kentang to this extent?  What exactly happened?

    "Great victory! Great victory!"

    Today is really exciting. First, impeachment memorials kept appearing, and then good news kept appearing.  Fujian is really interesting. It was as peaceful as a pool of stagnant water before, but if something happens, it will be breathless.

    "On the first day of June, Wu Liebotin and Ding Yunyi personally led the Huben Guard Navy and fought a decisive battle with the Zheng Family Navy at Liaoluo Bay! The artillery fire from both sides destroyed each other, and thousands of ships competed. At the critical moment, Commander Ding used the Chinese army to attack and quickly defeated the enemy.  , the left and right wings advance together, unstoppable, the main force of the Zheng family navy is defeated!"

    When the words "It's over" came out, the whole court cheered!

    Ding Yunyi, Ding Yunyi!  Only Ding Yunyi can create such brilliance!  From land to sea, he is present on every battlefield.

    He has never been defeated. As long as he appears on the battlefield, victory is guaranteed!

    Chongzhen smiled, but then his smile flashed away.  Indeed, it is extremely gratifying that Zheng Zhilong's rebellion was put down in such a short period of time, and that the Zheng family navy, which was once considered invincible, was defeated so completely.  But Chongzhen immediately thought of another question:

    Who else in Fujian can contain Ding Yunyi¡¯s power?

    Judging from the performance of the Battle of Quanzhou and the Battle of Liaoluowan, the Tiger Guards have become unshakably powerful. Zhang Kentang is definitely not his opponent.  Then the situation of mutual restraint between the three parties that he had worked so hard to manage in Fujian suddenly collapsed.

    Ding Yunyi, I hope you are a very loyal minister. If so, then you can share as many worries as I can.

    Chongzhen felt a little disappointed, but at the same time he felt a huge hope rising in his heart

    "Good newsgood news"

    Hearing this voice again, everyone felt a little numb. Today there was great sadness at first, but then more and more good news came.

    Now, what good news has arrived?

    "The remnants of Zheng Zhilong's troops were besieged on Suolong Island. Wu Lie Bo Ding Yunyi led his troops in a fierce battle. Zheng Zhilong was defeated and died! Your Majesty, the rebellion in Fujian has been ended!"

    "Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty!"

    "This is a blessing to Your Majesty and a blessing to the court!"

    In an instant, the congratulatory voices of the ministers rang out, and it seemed that everyone had forgotten any rebellion related to Ding Yunyi.

    Ding Yuanzhao quietly raised his head and looked at Chongzhen. He found that Chongzhen didn't seem to see much happiness on his face.

    He sighed softly in his heart. The more achievements he made, the easier it would be for him to be jealous of the emperor. What he said was true.

    The son is different from Hong Chengchou and Yang Sichang. They are all under the emperor's nose and can be monitored at any time, but the son is far away in Fujian, and the emperor's hand cannot reach there.

    Chongzhen was silent there for a long time, and then said calmly:

    "There are both bad things and good things today. I am a little tired. The court meeting will end here for now. Dear gentlemen, please retreat now. If you have anything to do, wait until tomorrow!" (To be continued Piaotian Literature Registered Member  Recommend this work
