Chapter Fourteen The Power of Public Opinion

Even some non-core Qingliu and Yanguan couldn't sit still after hearing the news, so they immediately went to court to impeach Yang Sichang, saying that Yang Sichang was a traitor who was harming the country, and asked the Holy Father to immediately remove Yang Sichang and behead him in public.

Yang Sichang never imagined that this matter discussed in the court could spread to the public in the blink of an eye. How could the common people in the market know the concerns of the court?

There is no way to explain this kind of thing to the people. Yang Sichang can't say publicly that it's not the slaves who are terrible, but Yu Xiaotian who is terrible. The slaves have robbed enough now, let them go and pull them down, and the guest is in peace!

The key is that Yu Xiaotian might be a rebellious minister. This is the biggest enemy of the Ming Dynasty. If you don’t fight the slaves, you should fight Yu Xiaotian! If these words were said publicly, his family would probably be beaten on the spot by the angry people.

Demolished.

The common people don't care who Yu Xiaotian is. They only know that Yu Xiaotian is a military general of the Ming Dynasty. What the common people hate most now is Jian Nu. Jian Nu has entered the country several times to plunder, killing many Ming people and plundering many people.

The people of the Ming Dynasty have harmed the people of the Ming Dynasty in so many places and robbed so much of the wealth of the Ming Dynasty.

It's not just the property of ordinary people, and it's not just ordinary people who died. The gentry and dignitaries in many places around Gyeonggi, including Beizhili this time, and Shandong, are all victims, and they suffer deeply.

This group of people are masters who cannot afford to offend. Their family was ruined by the slaves, their money was robbed by the slaves, their family members were killed by the slaves, and their women were raped and robbed by the slaves.

These people have a sworn feud with Jiannu. If they heard that Yang Sichang said that he would let Jiannu go, and in turn help Jiannu fight the Yu family army who came here to fight Jiannu, how could these people let Yang Sichang go?

Woolen cloth?

As soon as this news came out, Yang Sichang's reputation was completely stinky. That night, someone threw feces into Yang Sichang's yard. The gate and the walls of the courtyard were also covered with smelly feces.

, immediately made Yang Sichang's mansion smell terrible, and the stench could spread ten miles even if the wind blew.

Yang Sichang also knew that this time he was completely cheating, so he hurriedly rushed to the palace in a sedan chair early in the morning, but as soon as his chariot left the courtyard, it became a rat crossing the street.

There were scoldings everywhere along the way. People hid behind walls, stood on the streets, climbed to rooftops, and smashed them with radishes, clods of soil, stones, and broken shoes!

One cannot commit public anger. Once he does, the consequences will be serious. Yang Sichang has completely committed public outrage this time. At first, he protected his soldiers and servants, but also drove away and intimidated those who pointed at Yang Sichang's sedan, yelled, cursed or threw things.

The common people were shouting to be beaten and killed.

But later they also discovered that something was not good. More and more people joined the ranks of these people. The curses filled people's ears. It could be said that they went straight into the sky. The messy things falling from the sky were even more dense.

Like rain, even the attendants who followed Yang Sichang's sedan were also unlucky. Their heads and faces were covered with blood. They wanted to use force, but public anger is hard to offend. If they kill people, who knows what will happen next?

What a mess.

Now they could no longer be arrogant, so they had to hurry up and escort Yang Sichang's sedan towards the palace.

However, as soon as Yang Sichang arrived in the palace, Chongzhen issued an order to him to immediately stop the campaign against the family army. Chongzhen was famous and cherished his reputation the most. In the past few days, there were rumors that he wanted to make peace with Jiannu, so he

It had frightened him half to death. Now Yang Sichang came up with a plan to take advantage of the war between the Yu Jiajun and Jiannu to attack the Yu Jiajun from the flanks and rear, and solve Yu Xiaotian's scourge once and for all. Originally, he

I also think this is a good move.

But when the news spread to the public, it immediately attracted a lot of scolding, and the affairs in the public quickly reached Chongzhen's ears through Cao Huachun.

Chongzhen couldn't sit still for a while, and some people even shouted that the Ming Dynasty should die. After finally producing such a loyal minister and good general, he led the troops to fight against the slaves, but the court wanted to put him to death. This didn't make it clear that Chongzhen

He is a faint king, and he is a faint king to the extreme. It is really intolerable for the Ming Dynasty to survive.

At this moment, Chongzhen couldn't sit still and cursed in his heart who had leaked the news. In an instant, the image of a wise king he had built up for so many years was completely destroyed. At the same time, he also hated Yang Sichang for actually giving him trouble.

Such a bad idea.

He doesn't know how to self-examine. Any mistakes were made by people below. This idea came from Yang Sichang, so Yang Sichang should be the one to top up the tank. What's more, Lu Xiangsheng's matter has not yet ended, and he has already found out through Cao Huachun.

He learned a lot about the reasons why Lu Xiangsheng died in the war.

This time Lu Xiangsheng died in Julu. It was indeed Yang Sichang, Gao Qiqian and others who secretly restrained Lu Xiangsheng at every turn, divided Lu Xiangsheng's military power, and took away the soldiers and horses controlled by Lu Xiangsheng, so that Lu Xiangsheng finally had only the remaining

He defeated a weak brigade of only three to four thousand people.

Others say that Yang Sichang specially sent people to give instructions to the local government and asked the local government to cut off the supply of food and salary to Lu Xiangsheng. Whether this is true or false, it is really a cruel thing to do.

Even though he, Chongzhen, was afraid of Lu Xiangsheng and did not want Lu Xiangsheng to fight to the death with Jiannu, he never thought about forcing Lu Xiangsheng to death. Moreover, he also knew that Lu Xiangsheng should be a loyal minister, and he was also good at controlling troops and capable of fighting.

Sha is a good and capable minister that is rare in this world.

Lu Xiangsheng's death was undoubtedly a huge loss to the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that Lu Xiangsheng was tricked and killed by Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian this time. At least Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian bear unshirkable responsibility.

What's even more disgusting is that Cao Huachun also found out that Gao Qiqian did lead tens of thousands of elite Ming troops at that time. Chen Bing was less than fifty miles away from Lu Xiangsheng's headquarters. He sat back and watched Lu Xiangsheng's headquarters being surrounded by a large army of slaves, but said nothing.

Reinforcements came to the rescue. After the Jiannu army destroyed Lu Xiangsheng's headquarters, they immediately turned around and attacked Gao Qiqian's headquarters. As a result, Gao Qiqian led his men to escape first, causing the army to collapse. Now Gao Qiqian has tens of thousands of officers and soldiers under his command.

They had been dispersed by the Jiannu slaves long ago and were running around everywhere, causing chaos in the southern part of Beizhi.

Gao Qiqiu hadn't even shown his head at this time, and he didn't know where to hide.

Now that something like this is happening in the public, Yang Sichang has aroused public anger, and if this continues, the public's anger will cause chaos at any time. How can Chongzhen not be angry?

The biggest problem of Chongzhen is that he seems to be very responsible on the surface, but in fact he likes to shirk responsibility in his heart. Now that things have reached this point, he vented all his anger on Yang Sichang.

Now it is Yang Sichang's idea of ​​jointly establishing slaves and killing Yu Xiaotian, which has aroused great anger among the people of the world. This matter can only be taken by Yang Sichang.

It is obviously not appropriate to continue to mobilize troops and horses to take the opportunity to attack the Yu family army. Otherwise, the Tumo star of the world will be enough to drown the imperial court. So Chongzhen hurriedly saw Yang Sichang and

Yang Sichang was immediately ordered to stop this operation and instead ordered Chen Xinjia and the officers and soldiers from Shanhaiguan to closely monitor the movements of Yu Xiaotian's troops.

After listening to Chongzhen's order, Yang Sichang knew that the Holy Emperor had changed his mind this time. He couldn't help but sigh. This time, he was probably going to completely miss the chance to destroy Yu Xiaotian. At the same time, he also guessed that he might have already changed his position as chief assistant.

It's over.

What is even more frightening is that at this time, another news spread, which is even more unfavorable to Yang Sichang. The matter is that Jinan Mansion was destroyed by Jiannu.

At the time, Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, did not concentrate Shandong's heavy troops in the Dezhou area for defense, but left a considerable number of officers and soldiers in Jinan.

However, because Yang Sichang miscalculated the march route of the Jiannu army and concluded that the Jiannu would go to Dezhou to raid Shandong, he directly ordered Yan Jizu to gather most of the Shandong army and rush to Dezhou to set up defenses, preparing to stop the Jiannu in Dezhou.

The slave army invaded Shandong.

But I never expected that the slave-building army would bypass Dezhou, enter Beizhili first, and attack westward into Shanxi. Then suddenly turn back to Beizhili, go east through Zhendingfu, penetrate directly into Shandong, and directly enter from Linqing Prefecture.

They entered the territory of Shandong and drove straight into Jinan Prefecture, which was empty of troops.

As a result, Yan Jizu was caught off guard and had no time to lead his army back to Jinan Prefecture. In one day, Jinan Prefecture was captured by the Jian Nu army. As a result, the German king Zhu Youshu and the Fengguo general Zhu Enshang were captured by the Jian Nu and were eventually captured by the Jian Nu.

Killed.

Before this incident, Yang Sichang put the blame entirely on Yan Jizu, saying that Yan Jizu's improper handling resulted in a lack of military strength in Jinan, which ultimately led to the destruction of Jinan Mansion by Jiannu.

Chongzhen was very sad about the fact that Jinan Prefecture was captured by the Jiannu slaves. Not only because King De and other relatives were captured by the Jiannu slaves, but the key point was that the status of Jinan was different from that of other prefectures and counties. Jinan was the capital of Shandong Province.

It was an important town in the Ming Dynasty, and it was located in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, but it was conquered by Jiannu in one fell swoop. To him, the emperor, this was like a slap in the face, embarrassing him.

At the same time, Jinan Mansion was captured by Jiannu, which greatly shook the confidence of the people of the Ming Dynasty. It also made Jiannu feel the weakness of the Ming Dynasty. For the Ming Dynasty, the consequences of this were imaginable by Chongzhen.

Therefore, although Chongzhen has not issued an order to deal with Yan Jizu now, he has already put a label on Yan Jizu. This person should be responsible for this matter. He will only talk about this matter after he is released from seclusion as a slave.

But now it is suddenly reported that although Yan Jizu should be held responsible for this incident, the culprit is Yang Sichang. If Yang Sichang had not insisted on ordering Yan Jizu to mobilize troops to Dezhou, Jinan's defenders would not have been evacuated. As a result, Jinan was

Jian Nu took advantage of the situation and conquered it in one fell swoop.

Chongzhen was even more furious about this incident. This time, Yang Sichang made a series of stupid moves, and did more dirty things than the last. For the sake of a little feud between him and Lu Xiangsheng, he actually ordered the Ming Dynasty to be destroyed.

Jiang Shan ignored everything and did things like this. He also pretended to be confused afterwards, deceived superiors and subordinates, and pointed the shit basin at other people's heads to shirk his responsibility.
