Feng Jingyi is different from others, he was the first batch of Yu Yongkai and others to join the Liu family, and he has always called Liu Chen's godmother.

Therefore, for the descendants of their descendants, Liu Ximing naturally has to take special care of them.

It's just that I didn't expect this kid to grow up so fast, and he could even speculate on the impact of Luzon's economic war on Japan, which shows that he has worked hard these days.

For Japan, of course, Liu Ximing will not let it go.

As the saying goes, the side of the couch does not allow others to snore.

At present, Japan alone has a population of more than 20 million, and it is considered a big country in the world.

In addition, Japan at this time can also be regarded as a member of the Chinese cultural circle, and it still has a lot of help for Liu Ximing's follow-up plans, so the Tokugawa shogunate is afraid that it will be unlucky.

Looking at the envious eyes of You De and others, Liu Ximing smiled again and comforted everyone:

"Don't envy Jingyi, he entered my house earlier than you, but you are all personally cultivated by Lao Tzu with a handful of and urine, as long as you don't make mistakes, I remember this love."

"I'll swear allegiance to the death!"

In this small building of the Baoquan Bureau, bursts of shouts suddenly erupted.

The conversation with You De et al. lasted for three whole days, and Liu Ximing touched everything from the thinking of the army to the specific situation of the government affairs of the Luzon General's Office.

At this time, Liu Ximing couldn't help but be a little happy, if it weren't for his own pretending to be a ghost and penetrating into the hearts of the people, Luzon would have been alone overseas for so long, I am afraid that the ministers of civil and military affairs would inevitably have some other ideas.

But with the existence of Ziwei Emperor, it is different, Luzon now has a large ancestral hall in all major cities, in addition to Yan Huang and ancient sages, but also dedicated to the Ziwei Emperor, which is equivalent to always alerting, and the loyalty of Luzon personnel does not have to worry too much.

On the contrary, there are some problems in the officialdom atmosphere, not that corruption is particularly serious, perhaps there are still reasons for the rush, the Metropolitan Procuratorate led by Chen Yiding has not found too many cases of corruption.

However, bureaucracy continued to rise in the Luzon government, and for this reason, Liu Ximing had asked You Degao and others to go back and tell Su Jin, Chen Yiding, and others to resolutely crack down on it, and at the same time let them publish articles in their own names in newspapers such as the South China Daily to denounce this phenomenon.

However, despite all the problems, on the whole, Luzon's development is still healthy and upward.

On September 26, the 14th year of Chongzhen, Liu Ximing, who had been busy in Tianjin for a few days, returned to Beijing in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, Da Situ Liu Xi is asking to see you."

In the Qianqing Palace, Chongzhen's heart was as cold as ice, and when he heard Wang Chengen's words, he was stunned for a long time before he waved his hand weakly to invite in.

"Your Majesty", as soon as Liu Ximing entered the palace and saw Chongzhen's appearance, he immediately took a few steps forward with a concerned face and asked, "Why is Your Majesty like this?" ”

Chongzhen raised his head without saying a word, his eyes full of emptiness and numbness.

"See for yourself."

After receiving a copy of the book from Wang Chengen's hand, Liu Ximing quickly flipped it.

This is a shock.

Originally, the recital in his hand was played by Hong Chengchou, and it was full of bad news about the Battle of Songjin.

Since the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, Jianyu sent troops to attack Jinzhou, and the war in Liaodong has lasted for a year.

By April of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, Jianyu had broken through the outer city of Jinzhou, and Zu Dashou, the defender of Jinzhou, urgently asked for help again.

For this reason, Chongzhen had to transfer heavy troops from the nine sides of Datong to support the war in Liaodong.

Cao Bianjiao, who was originally supposed to be transferred to Liaodong, successfully escaped the requisition because Li Zicheng and others in the Central Plains attacked and killed everywhere.

In July of the 14th year of Chongzhen, Hong Chengchou led Wang Pu, Yang Guozhu, Tang Tong, Wu Sangui and other nine general soldiers to lead 130,000 horses out of Ningyuan City and went straight to Jinzhou to relieve the siege.

Hong Chengchou is a person who has commanded in the Central Plains for many years, and he has a set of operational commands, and with his steady and steady tactics, he even won a small victory in the early stage.

However, Hong Chengchou had 130,000 heavy troops but refused to attack quickly, which brought great pressure to the already deteriorating imperial court finances.

During this period, whether it was the Nine Sides or the Central Plains soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, the morale had already collapsed, and the soldiers who went to war if they did not pay silver and other military salaries, they were basically direct mutiny.

Under the vigorous encouragement of Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the military department, Chongzhen began to constantly urge Hong Chengchou to enter the army as soon as possible, completely ignoring the actual situation in front of the Songjin Formation.

This kind of battle of three passes a day made Hong Chengchou really helpless, and finally had to take the soldiers and horses to fight a decisive battle with Jianyu.

However, Jianyu had already seen the reality of the Ming army, and by burning the grain road, attacking and surrounding, the army led by Hong Chengchou fell into a panic.

On the seventh day of the ninth month, Hong Chengchou, who had no choice but to break through the siege after Wang Pu, Wu Sangui and other commanders-in-chief officers discussed.

The panic of the Ming army was like the smell of blood in the sea, which made the Jianjiao who were watching from the side roar.

As a result, the Ming army collapsed directly in the process of breaking through, and all the generals fled in all directions, and the Jianyu almost effortlessly routed the entire Ming army.

In this battle, Jianyu killed more than 50,000 Ming soldiers and captured more than 7,000 horses.

Hong Chengchou had no cronies under his command, so he couldn't escape and could only be trapped in Songshan City.

The Ming Dynasty's defensive positions in Liaodong were almost completely lost.

After reading the military newspaper, Liu Ximing couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

This can be called the battle that can be called the life and death of the Ming Dynasty came to an end, at this time the Ming Dynasty may not be aware of it, since then, the Ming Dynasty has lost all the deterrence ability of Jianyu, and completely turned into a defensive state.

And this situation, combined with the rebellion of the Upper Central Plains, will directly push the entire Ming Dynasty into the abyss.

Seeing Liu Ximing finish reading the military report, Chongzhen on the throne asked him hoarsely:

"Hong Chengchou has high hopes, and the nine-sided army will be lost in one day, and now in this situation, how should the imperial court defend itself?"

You're throwing the pot again!

Liu Ximing scolded in his heart, Hong Chengchou had fought well, if it weren't for the fact that you people always like to command from a distance, the outcome of this battle is still unknown.

As a result, now that something happens, everyone, including the emperor, wants to throw the responsibility to Hong Chengchou.

How can such a court make the civil and military ministers work desperately?

Trying to suppress the anger in his mind, Liu Ximing said with a little trepidation:

"Your Majesty, today's plan is to stabilize Shanhaiguan first, but let the Shanhaiguan guards collect the defeated troops as soon as possible, and don't let the Jianjiao Pass be captured, otherwise the Beijing division will be in danger."

"That's the only way to do it", Chongzhen was silent for a moment and hesitated: "Then what about Hong Chengchou and the others, are they still trapped in Songshan City, save them or not?" ”

Liu Ximing was speechless again in his heart, what is there to save now, the last nine-sided elites of the Ming Dynasty are all buried in Liaodong, and the imperial court still has something to save.

Do you want to transfer the Central Plains soldiers?

This thought flashed through his mind, and Liu Ximing instantly came to his senses.

Comrade Xiao Zhu fucking wants to shake the pot again, if he says that he can't save it, then the pot of Songshan will fall to his head.

Thinking of this, Liu Ximing immediately looked at him left and right.

"That, if the imperial court still has the strength to spare, it will naturally go to the rescue of the Songshan defenders, otherwise wouldn't it be a cold person in the world?"

Chongzhen frowned, this pot was not thrown out, forget it, it seems that Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the military department, can only carry it.

Nodding and not continuing the topic, Chongzhen asked as if he remembered Liu Ximing's purpose:

"Let's not mention this matter for the time being, what's the matter with the Qing family?"

Liu Ximing hurriedly motioned to the little eunuch with the plate at the door to come over, gently uncovered the red cloth on it, and showed the newly made copper coins on the plate to Chongzhen.

Chongzhen on the throne didn't pay much attention at first, but when he glanced at it, he was immediately attracted to it.

On the white silk in the tray, there are six copper coins of different sizes, all of which are golden yellow, and the appearance is very smooth and textured.

Even Wang Chengen and others on the side were attracted when they first saw the copper coins on the plate, and they wanted to see it clearly one by one.

Chongzhen suddenly became a little interested, and immediately walked down from the throne slowly.
