At dinner in the evening, Chen Junde told the big guy about the war in Liaodong and his decision. But the reaction of the crowd surprised him.

Qi Dazui immediately stood up after hearing Chen Junde's words that he was going back, and said to Chen Junde very puzzled: "Young master, it's not unusual for this Liaodong to fight, and besides, there are only a few people in that small Jiannu?" As soon as the army of the imperial court arrived, they immediately killed them and left no armor. In what year, Liaodong was not disturbed, but this time it was a little bigger, and the young master didn't need to be too nervous. And they only attacked Fushun, they all went back to the old nest, and the mountains were fine, and the young master didn't have to go back, it was important to go to the capital for the imperial examination, otherwise they would have to wait for three years."

"Yes, yes, fame matters, young master." The others obviously agreed with Qi Dazui's words, and persuaded Chen Junde one after another.

Wei Xiang'er didn't dare to talk nonsense in this matter, she didn't want to go back in her heart, her young master had promised that she would play with her in the capital for many days, if she went back, then she would look forward to it in vain.

Chen Junde only now understands why the Jianzhou Jurchens are getting bigger and bigger, because no one cares about him, even if they all knock on the door, these ordinary people have not yet realized that the danger is coming. But I can't think like them, because in later generations, it was these Jiannu who were not looked down upon by the Han people who finally ruled the Han people for more than 200 years.

Seeing their reactions also made Chen Junde completely dispel the idea of arranging for his relatives to leave Liaodong. Even if they wear out their mouths, they won't listen to themselves, but they will feel that they are making a fuss, after all, there are wars in Liaodong from time to time, but it was the Ming Court who went to beat others before, but this time it has become the beaten party. And I can't wait, and I can't wait for the step-by-step imperial examination to enter the office, and climb up step by step. Jiannu will not wait for himself, and the court will not be beaten and there will be no movement, the current calm is just that the two sides are accumulating strength, and a bigger war may break out tomorrow, or in the near future. At that time, one's loved ones will be ravaged by the hooves of war, a situation that they do not want to see and cannot accept. I now at least have a little ability to protect myself, and after I go back, I will rectify the soldiers and horses, and in the chaos in Liaodong, I Chen Junde will also have a foot, and it will not be in vain that I came here to go away.

Chen Junde looked at everyone's puzzled looks, slowly stood up, and said with a serious face: "I understand what everyone means, I think everyone thinks that Jiannu is just a small fight, but I don't think so." Our relatives and brothers are in Liaodong, and we don't know when the war will fall on them. At this time, how can I go to Beijing with peace of mind? And my brothers all know that I am Chen Junde, and I can't let my brothers be bandits for the rest of my life. Then I will tell you now, when the opportunity comes, in troubled times, the knife in our hands is the king's road, and it is the ladder to fight for the road to heaven. Our two cottages add up to nearly 800 people, and I have 600 people in Li Qianhu, adding up to thousands of soldiers, which is our bargaining chip in this troubled world. As long as we have the right strategy, how can a fame be comparable? Brothers, this time we will go back and start to gather all the people together, train in unison, and build an invincible team, and when the time comes, we will use the knife in our hands to tell the imperial court that there is still our army in Liaodong, a team that can fight and dare to fight. And then we will have power, status, money, and everything we want. And we are no longer the bandits who can only rob homes, but heroes who save people from fire and water. Today, I will openly and honestly tell you what I have to say, and you should think about it tonight. I, Chen Junde, have made up my mind, and we will set off for Liaodong early tomorrow morning."

Qi Dazui looked at this childish child a year ago, when he was still racking his brains to live, but now he can say such touching words. He finally knew the real reason why he arranged manpower in Li Qianhu, and revenge on the fourth grandmother was only one aspect, the most important thing was that he had a heart of great ambition in his heart. Since I followed him, life has become different, looking at his certainty, I don't know if I will change the rest of my life because of him. Thinking of this, Qi Dazui gave the others a look, led everyone to kneel in front of Chen Junde, and said: "I will swear allegiance to the young master to the death, and follow the young master to fight a piece of the world"!

Chen Junde's tense face slowly relaxed, and his fists were clenched together, with these people, his ambitions can definitely be realized, and Liaodong will change because of my Chen Junde's existence.

Today, according to the custom, the ministers came to the palace gate before dawn to wait, or the same bell, after the palace gate was opened, hundreds of officials entered the palace gate one after another. Everyone was listlessly formed in the square in front of the palace, with the civil officials facing east and west, and the military attache facing west and east. The hundred officials looked at the imperial history who were in charge of etiquette, and they were also extremely helpless. Alas, what do you have to remember? Even if you remember it, the Lord won't come, and you won't be able to find anyone if you want to impeach. In fact, it's just a formality, and the emperor doesn't come, they will wait here for a while to deal with it, and it will be over, this is too early, and it is only right that the yamen will have to make up for sleep after a while. Anyway, there are not many people in the court, alas, this person will lose a position, and the emperor will not add officials, and now even the cabinet scholars wear many hats, and they are very busy. But the emperor and his old man still do their own thing, the recital of this ministry floats to the palace like snowflakes, and there is a serious shortage of court officials, but the emperor does not send it at all, and even the recital of resignation and return to his hometown is ignored, and he does not approve his resignation. Even if the official hung up the crown without permission, and the officials suggested that he be hunted down and held accountable, the emperor still ignored it.

The official position in the court has decreased or increased like this, learning literature and martial arts, and the goods are with the emperor's family, but the emperor did this, didn't it hurt the hearts of the corporal in the world? Is it because of the matter of the crown prince that the life and death of all the people in the world are ignored?

University scholar Fang Congzhe stood alone in the front, he had led the cabinet for several years, and in the past few years, he had really slept all night, and he had a serious lack of sleep all day long. What happened to this emperor? For so many years, the cabinet has been on its own, and the vacancies in various ministries and yamen of the imperial court are getting worse and worse, and even the new branch jinshi is also waiting for the ministry of officials, and the official position cannot be arranged. The entire imperial court is in a state of paralysis, and what worries me the most is the war in Liaodong, which has been handed into the palace yesterday, and I don't know what the situation is today. This major event of sending troops is not something that can be decided by himself, and the emperor has to make up his mind on how to do it.

Sure enough, after seeing the big eunuch shaking his head at himself, Fang Congzhe sighed helplessly. After the whip was sounded, he entered the main hall with an official of more than four grades. The others were still the same as usual, and there was no one back, and they slept in the deserted yamen.

But Fang Congzhe did not gain nothing, when he was the first to enter the main hall, Lu Shou, the commander of the East Factory, was standing in the main hall. Seeing that the university scholar Fang Congzhe's eyelids jumped, he didn't have a good impression of these eunuchs. When the few ministers who were sparsely pulled into the main hall, Lu Shou suddenly shouted: "Pass the emperor's message." ”

The ministers, under the leadership of the head of the cabinet, knelt down and buckled their heads to receive the order, saying: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

"The war in Liaodong is unfavorable, the Liaozuo overturned army has fallen, the situation is increasing, and the border affairs are very critical. The Cabinet immediately deliberated on how to deal with it."

The ministers kowtowed to the ground again and shouted, "The ministers obey the order."

Looking at Lu Shou who walked out, the university scholar Fang Congzhe turned around and said to everyone: "Liaodong came to report, the chief Nurha Chiqin led 20,000 soldiers to attack Fushun and Qinghe, my Ming border army suffered heavy casualties, Guangning general soldiers Zhang Chengyin, Zou Chuxian were all killed in battle, Liaodong is no longer able to fight, watching Jiannu plundered 300,000 animals to Hetuala, colleagues, today we will discuss this matter with a result." As he spoke, he handed the military newspaper in his arms to the various ministries.

After all the ministers in the palace had finished reading it, the anxious person had already rebuked loudly: "The battle in Liaodong is unfavorable, and its governor Li Weihan should bear the brunt of it, and he should be escorted into Beijing immediately and held accountable."

Many ministers seconded the motions. These people are all Donglin Party, and Li Weihan is from the Zhejiang Party, this time the Jingcha Donglin Party is a loss of troops, looking at the posture, today they are people who want to pull down the Zhejiang Party. Fang Congzhe immediately stopped the noise of these people, when will this be, and still have the energy to engage in party fighting?

"This discussion will talk about the coping strategy first, and the others will be mentioned later, after all, the construction of slaves and the army will invade, break the city and plunder the people, and the court cannot have nothing to say."

Han Yi, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, stepped forward and said, "Little Jiannu'an dares to be so presumptuous? It is really an unspeakable crime to attack me and plunder my people today, how can you easily let it go? If the tribes compete to follow suit, how can there be a day of peace in the land of Liaodong? With the momentum of thunder, the arrogance of the small will be removed, and troops shall be sent to attack it."

"It's the pole, it's the pole, it's so." Zheng Jizhi, the secretary of the ministry, hurriedly nodded in agreement, he was also afraid that the ministers would point the finger at Li Weihan, the governor of Liaodong under his camp.

Ming Taizu had an early order, no harmony, no compensation, no land, no tribute, the Son of Heaven guarded the country, and the king died. Therefore, when the scholars wanted to discuss countermeasures, everyone naturally and instinctively agreed to the proposal to send troops to attack Jiannu.

Fang Congzhe also knew that this battle would definitely have to be fought, but how to fight and who would fight it was a big question, so he asked the military department: "The Liaodong Guard has no strength to fight again, where should this soldier come from, and who is the general who will go to the war?"

Zhao Xingbang stepped forward and replied: "Elder Fangge, there are 80,000 officers and soldiers left in the Liaodong Guard, but there are only about 10,000 who can really fight. The imperial court can transfer soldiers from Fujian, Zhejiang, Sichuan, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu and other places to Liao, and let Korea and Yehe come to help in the war, and the scale should be about 100,000, and the Jiannu can be destroyed. As for the selection of generals, Yang Hao, the squire of the military department, once served as the governor of Liaodong and was familiar with Liaodong affairs, so he could be appointed as the economic strategy of Liaodong and lead the army into Liao.

The ministers had no objection and all nodded their heads in favor. The university scholar Fang Congzhe also readily agreed, and then he had to discuss the specific grain and grass situation of the troops.

Over the years, the imperial court's tax revenue has been sharply reduced, and the fiscal deficit has been serious. Thinking of the money and food needed for the war, Fang Congzhe rubbed his temples and asked the military department: "The soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, and this household department will calculate how many silver taels are needed?"

Hu Ke gave the lieutenant official Ying Zhen a little thought for a moment and said: "It depends on the number of soldiers in the military town, if more than 100,000 soldiers are sent to Liao, it will cost 4 million taels of silver, and the expenses for the requisition and transfer of food, clothing, armor, horses, etc., will not be less than more than 1 million."

After saying this number, Guan Yingzhen was startled, this is too much, and the imperial court will definitely not be able to take out so much silver. A few years ago, he still owed more than 5 million yuan in grain and salary to Jiubian, and even if the court was squeezed dry, he couldn't get it out.

After hearing this, all the ministers were silent, and they all knew in their hearts that the financial constraints were tight. Someone has long said that the warehouse, the Jieshen warehouse, the Taifu temple library, the Guanglu temple library, and the Jingtong warehouse are all beyond their means, and the shortage of warehouses is getting worse. Among the expenditures allocated by the Tai Warehouse, the biggest one is the nine-sided year, which is all paid by the Tai Warehouse, but now there are only 80,000 taels of silver left in the Tai Warehouse, and no one has touched the silver in this warehouse for ten years, which means that the inventory has not been exhausted, and it is just a good fortune on the surface. This was not the case before, the old treasury silver accumulated by the Tai Warehouse was two million taels, the kiln room silver was four million taels, and the emperor did not want to mention the three million taels that Zhang Juzheng had accumulated in ten years. Even if it is the daily cashier's treasury silver, the total amount can be spent for two years.

But the good days are not long, the emperor is not going to the court, the silver is more tight, one is to send mine supervisors and tax envoys, wantonly to the people in various places to directly collect, to make the heavens angry and resentful, there are conflicts in various places, Linqing, Huguang, Suzhou, Jiangxi, Liaodong, Yunnan, Fujian have broken out large-scale popular mutiny and mutiny. But the emperor still insisted on going his own way, although there were later changes, but the soup was changed instead of the medicine, and the local taxes were still quite heavy; The second is to pass on the money, that is, to use various excuses and ways to turn the money in the treasury into their own internal money, among which the Tai Warehouse, the Taifu Temple Treasury, and the Guanglu Temple Treasury are the three silver vaults that bear the brunt, and the emperor desperately stuffs money into his pocket.

University scholar Fang Congzhe looked at the ministers who looked at each other, and there was no way, it seems that this matter will give the household a headache. said to the ministers: "Then this is discussed today, I will give the emperor a chapter, and after the celebrant is dressed in red, he will dispatch troops, prepare grain and grass, and go to Liao on a certain date"!
