"Your Majesty, you must save North Korea, you must!" Wu Daji wanted to say something!

"Okay, Lord Wu, our emperor has already said that we will consider it, and I will inform you immediately if there is any news! Come on, send Lord Wu back to the post house to rest!" Zhou Yanru saw Chongzhen's dilemma at a glance, and hurriedly stood up and said! The inner attendant of the main hall also hurriedly made a gesture of invitation! Although Wu Daji was unwilling, he had no choice but to shake his head and withdraw from the main hall!

As soon as Wu Daji exited the main hall, Chongzhen opened his mouth and asked, "What is the good plan of Aiqing, and should the Ming Dynasty send troops to rescue North Korea?"

"It should be saved!"

"I don't think I should save it!" the ministers in the palace were talking a lot, but no one was willing to stand up!

Seeing that the ministers regarded the hall as a vegetable market, but the ministers did not say a word, Chongzhen's face began to slowly become gloomy, and he directly named him: "Chen Xinjia, as the secretary of the military department, you can tell me if Daming should rescue North Korea!"

"Yes!" Chen Xinjia was originally hidden in the crowd and was afraid of coming out, but now that he was personally ordered by the emperor, the beads of sweat on his forehead kept falling, and his speech became stammering, "Minister... Minister... Minister..."

"Chen Xinjia!" Seeing that his first-class minister couldn't say a word for a long time, Chongzhen was obviously enraged and shouted loudly!

"The minister is guilty, the minister is guilty!" Chen Xinjia was so frightened by the emperor's roar that he quickly knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy!

"Hmph!" Chongzhen didn't even want to look at Chen Xinjia, "Yang Sichang, tell me about it!"

Unlike Chen Xinjia, after all, he was born as a scholar, Yang Sichang seemed very calm, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this North Korea should be rescued!"

"Go on!" Chongzhen's color began to soften slightly!

"Although North Korea is far away from our DPRK, but in the rear of the Tartars, although the country is small and weak, but the Tartars can still play a role in restraining the Tartars, if North Korea once falls into the hands of the enemy, it will become a stable granary behind the Tartars, and it is a stable source of soldiers, which is definitely not good news for our Ming Dynasty!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" the ministers began to say yes again, and you nodded yes!

Seeing that Chongzhen was silent, Yang Sichang continued: "If the Ming Dynasty saves the DPRK from fire and water this time, it will be a second salvation for it, and this will definitely make the DPRK grateful to our DPRK! At that time, our DPRK can completely use the DPRK as a springboard to pose a threat to the Qing Dynasty from the rear, and the DPRK will surely become a stable rear and a solid ally of our DPRK!"

Chongzhen agrees with Yang Sichang's analysis, but Chongzhen is anxious about money and people! In this round-up of Gao Yingxiang, not only was the bank's deposit empty, but even his own treasury was also out of a lot of money! If there was another war with the Qing Dynasty at this time, the military salary would increase linearly, which was unbearable for Daming and Chongzhen!

This time, in order to concentrate his forces to round up Gao Yingxiang, Chongzhen dispatched three elite Guanning Iron Cavalry! It can be said that the defense of the Ming Dynasty outside the pass is also the weakest time, and if the war with the Qing Dynasty starts at this time, where to transfer the troops is a thorny problem!

"Your Majesty, the Qing Dynasty has just recovered from the changes, and this is the time when they are at their weakest! Sooner or later, there will be a war between our Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, and if we defeat the Qing Dynasty at this time! Then at least we will be able to achieve absolute peace in the next 20 years! If the Emperor, if we sit idly by and ignore Korea, then when the Qing Dynasty becomes stronger, it will be our Ming Dynasty who will suffer. The emperor thinks twice!" After speaking, Yang Sichang involuntarily knelt down!

Yang Sichang's words deeply shook Chongzhen's heart, how could he not know that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to destroy the Qing Dynasty! The current Qing Dynasty is very weak, and so is the Ming Dynasty, the key lies in who can persevere, and whoever can hold on will be able to win the final victory! ......However, "Zhou Yanru, you are the first assistant of the cabinet, tell me your opinion!" Chongzhen suddenly changed his head and asked directly to Zhou Yanru, who had been silent!

All the ministers hurriedly focused their eyes on the face of the head of the cabinet, and his words affected the fate of the entire DPRK!

Zhou Yanru took a deep breath! The reason why he kept silent just now was to observe the emperor's thoughts, but now he is already in his chest!

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that this North Korea should be rescued, firstly, as Lord Yang said, to hit the Qing Dynasty, and secondly, it can also show the strength of my Ming Dynasty like the vassal states! But this rescue must have a plan, you can't blindly go to the rescue, and before this rescue, you must solve two problems first!" Zhou Yanru said that he deliberately stopped, and he quickly glanced at Chongzhen!

"Oh! which two questions!" Chongzhen was whetted for a moment, and couldn't help but ask!

Seeing the emperor's performance, Zhou Yanru became even more firm in his thoughts! Only then did he unhurriedly continue: "The first problem is to solve the problem of silver! Just as the so-called three armies have not moved the grain and grass first, this cannot be fought without silver! And you all know that our Ming treasury has just been requisitioned! The current treasury can be described as empty, so here I want to call on all the ministers to donate money to help the war!" After speaking, Zhou Yanru hurriedly bowed in the direction of the ministers!

The ministers didn't react at all for a while, and no one thought that Zhou Yanru would come up with this method! This surprised everyone, and none of the ministers dared to step forward!

"In order to set an example for you, I will donate 10,000 taels of silver!" This week, Yanru did another thing that surprised the ministers, and took the lead in donating silver!

"I, Yang Sichang, donate 8,000 taels of silver, and at the same time, I want to donate half a year's Yulu!" Zhou Yanru's clever Yang Sichang understood at a glance, and hurriedly followed, and even did even more to count all the Yulu!

The first assistant of the cabinet and the scholars took the lead in donating, and the ministers below were embarrassed, so they had to endure the pain of donating money for 1,000 and 800!

Seeing that these ministers actually donated silver, and it didn't come out of his own mouth, this Chongzhen was overjoyed, and couldn't help but look at Zhou Yanru a few more times, it seems that only this slave understands himself!

"Your Majesty!" Zhou Yanru turned back to Chongzhen and said respectfully, "not only to mobilize the ministers of the court to raise donations, but also to call on the people of the whole city to help with the salary! In this way, why should we have no money! The minister implores the emperor to issue a holy decree and call on the people of the whole city to donate money!"

"Approved! Wang Chengen is ready to draft a decree!" Chongzhen immediately agreed, without a trace of hesitation!

"Then now I will talk about the second question - soldiers, you also know very well that now I am in urgent need of soldiers, otherwise the emperor will not urgently transfer Guanning Iron Cavalry into the pass to suppress bandits!
