"Kill into Haizhou!"

"Kill into Haizhou!"

The city gate of Haizhou burst under the fierce bombardment of the Hongyi cannon of the Tianwu army, and Zhou Yuji led 10,000 Tianwu troops into the city.

The more than 10,000 Qing troops guarding Haizhou had already been in chaos, and there was a great uproar inside.

"Dead Tartar, aren't you usually very imposing? Why is it like a grandson now? ”

A five-year-old and three-thick Han man with a knife in his hand pointed at the cowering Jiannu Qiding and shouted loudly.

The flag man pointed at him nervously, and said angrily: "Cheng Sanzi, you dog minion, it's really the opposite!" ”

Cheng Sanzi kicked him over, and laughed: "You son of a bitch, you dare to call me a slave?" The army of the Ming Dynasty is coming, and Lao Tzu is going to cut off your head to receive the reward! ”

"Oops! Don't don't, don't! The third master spared his life......."

"dog Jiannu, don't you want to sleep with my wife, today Lao Tzu will sleep with your wife and daughter!"

"Dog Jiannu, take me captive as a servant, life is better than death, today I will also make you life worse than death......"

On the streets of Haizhou, Han people with pig's tails cut off chased Jiannu with swords and sticks in their hands, and launched an extremely bloody revenge.

When Zhou Yuji led the Tianwu army into the city, the surrounding people all shouted Long live the Ming Dynasty.

How dare the Qing army defending the city have a hard time with the Tianwu army, and they have already run away in a hurry.

Zhou Yuji is a native of Jinzhou, and he is still relatively familiar with this area of southern Liaoning, he looked around, and saw that a person with a pig's tail not far away was also shouting Long live Daming, so he asked people to mention it.

Zhou Yuji frowned and said, "Are you a Manchurian?" ”

"Back to adults, the little ones are Han people, and their hometown is from Beizhili."

Zhou Yuji teased: "Is it that the Han people still have pig tails?" Do you think it looks good? ”

The man was sweating profusely and said, "Minions..... The villain doesn't dare! ”

Zhou Yuji frowned and said, "Don't dare? I think you're afraid that the Tartars will come back, right? ”

The man threw himself on his knees, trembling, and did not speak for a long time, he did have this mentality, if the murderous Jiannu saw that his hair was gone, he would definitely kill him.

Zhou Yuji snorted coldly and said: "Order, post a notice, from tomorrow, if anyone still has pigtail braids, they will be killed!" ”

......

Anshan Post Fort, Huang Taiji Palace.

"Report! Your Majesty, the military situation on the front line, Haizhou is lost, Yaozhou is lost, tens of thousands of Ming troops are fighting around Gaizhou, and 100,000 are ......in a hurry."

Huang Taiji was completely stunned, he couldn't believe it, at this time he only felt that his ears were roaring, and he couldn't hear anything.

"Poof!"

Huang Taiji spurted out a mouthful of old blood, lying straight on the golden chair, muttering something in his mouth.

Everyone in the audience immediately panicked, and all of them surrounded it, and Dolgon also came up, wanting to take a closer look, is this old thing really going to work........

Huang Taiji turned his head and happened to see Dolgon's eyes, he opened his mouth, trying to speak but couldn't say a word.

Dorgon withdrew his gaze and walked out of the hall with a snort.

Huang Taiji lay there weakly, extremely remorseful in his heart, and only now did he know that the Tianwu army confronted him in Anshan in order to drag the main force of the Qing Dynasty and create time for Haizhou and Gaizhou.

He arranged Jierharang on the Western Front, but he didn't expect that something happened on the Eastern Front, he overestimated the Eight Banners Army guarding southern Liaoning, and also misjudged the intentions of the Ming Army, this pot can't be shaken off.

Huang Taiji on the sickbed had even heard the rampant shouting of the Tianwu Army outside the city.

......

A few days later, the good news arrived in Beijing, and the Ming army recovered Haizhou, Yaozhou, and Gaizhou, and the city of Beijing shook for a while.

Emperor Chongzhen was very proud, and some ministers who knew how to observe words and colors immediately came to the table and sang praises for the emperor.

Chongzhen took all the orders, smiled and read these books of praise and virtue one by one, just when he was complacent, Wang Chengen approached lightly, and said in a low voice: "Emperor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has urged food and salary again......."

Chongzhen took the notebook, read it several times, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, he closed the notebook, and said, "Convene the ministers to discuss in the Wenhua Palace." ”

In the Wenhua Palace, a group of old things gathered.

"Chen Xue Guoguan, congratulations to the saint, congratulations to the saint, God bless me ...... Ming"

Xue Guoguan reacted the fastest, and took the lead in kneeling down on the ground and shouting long live, and the other ministers also knelt down in the same way, praising the emperor's benevolence and wisdom.

"Aiqing don't have to be so polite!" Chongzhen happily waved his hand to let several old ministers get up.

Seeing a few old things get up from the ground one after another, Chongzhen put away his smile and said, "I summoned everyone here today mainly to discuss the matter of grain and grass on the front line. ”

"This ......"

Several ministers were stumbling for a long time, but no one came out to talk.

Chongzhen looked at the head of the household department and asked, "In the past few months, the front line has won great victories one after another, why is there less and less grain and grass?" ”

The white-haired Li Zhiwen came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, this year's military disasters and droughts have continued, and the wars have continued, the grain prices in the provinces have doubled, and the treasury has now run out of a penny, and the military salary and household department of the Liaodong war can't get a tael of silver." ”

No silver? So how can there be a war? Without food and grass, can the soldiers still fight the battlefield?

Chongzhen's face gradually became gloomy and terrifying, and now even Yang Sichang, who has always been able to speak, has nothing to say, he can formulate a strategy, but he can't change money.

For a while, the hall was extremely quiet, and none of the important ministers who had won the praise of merit just now could come up with a countermeasure.

"Speak, why don't you speak? Didn't you just take pride in the great victory in Liaodong, and praised them one by one? ”

Chongzhen suddenly pointed at Li Cheng and asked, "What about the food in Jiangnan?" ”

Li Zhiwen choked up and said, "The price of grain in Jiangnan is increasing every day, and it seems that there are profiteers hoarding grain, not only in Jiangnan, but also in Beizhili and Shanxi.......

After speaking, Li Zhiwen knelt heavily on the ground, knocked his head on the ground, and said with tears streaming down his face, "The old minister is guilty, the old minister is guilty!" ”

"Smack!"

Chongzhen's right palm slapped fiercely on the imperial case, and shouted: "A bunch of profiteers are moths!" ”

Which of those businessmen in Jiangnan and Shanxi is not a rich country? When the country is in difficulty, it is like killing them to donate some money one by one, but they are not crazy and sucking the blood of Daming?

Chongzhen secretly swore that after the war, he must rectify that group of businessmen, especially those traitorous businessmen who secretly colluded with Jiannu, cut off their heads, and punish the clan!

After a while, Chongzhen looked at Li Beiwen again, and said: "The household department will first take out one million taels of silver to solve the urgent need, and then make up for the salt tax of the two Huai." ”

After being the emperor for so many years, Chongzhen knows very well that crying poor is the consistent operation of the household department, he doesn't believe that the household department really has no money, and such a big country has no money? Speaking of which, ordinary people can be happy for a year.

However, Li Zhiwen did not get up, still lying on the ground and pouting his buttocks, tears flowing.

Chongzhen was suddenly displeased, and shouted: "What, do you want to resist the decree?" ”

Li Zhiwen replied with a crying voice: "Your Majesty, the salt tax of Lianghuai is even more difficult to collect, not only does it decrease every year, but it also drags on every year, and now the treasury really has no money, let alone take out a million taels of silver, even if you can't take out 10,000 taels......."

Chongzhen's original good mood was instantly stirred up, and looking at the silent ministers, his heart became more and more blocked, and he said angrily: "Don't you usually boast that you have tens of millions of ravines in your chest?" Why do you have no idea now, and you still want to rush to enter the cabinet? ”

He looked at Xue Guoguan, the first assistant of the cabinet, and said, "If anyone can conjure up a million taels of silver, I will make him the first assistant of the cabinet!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Xue Guoguan's face changed greatly, he knew that trouble was coming, and immediately jumped out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a ...... play."
