"Your Majesty, the rebellion is like fire and water, and it can't be delayed."

"Please ask the emperor to make a judgment."

"Please ask the emperor to make a judgment."

As soon as Chongzhen stopped the prevarication of the two, the courtiers began to take turns to speak.

"Wait, I'll come when I go."

Chongzhen got up and left the court, came to a side hall, and began to ask Wang Chengen.

"Wang Chengen, how much imperial silver do I have?"

"The emperor's imperial silver is two thousand six million seven hundred and forty-seven thousand three hundred and sixteen two hundred and four coins."

"Really?"

"Nothing is missing."

Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

"This is the foundation of the country after more than 50 years of Wanli, Taichang, Tianqi, and the emperors of the three dynasties, and it is the foundation of the country.

"Your Majesty, Fang is in the court, Bi Shangshu said that the treasury is only 100,000 taels, is the emperor planning to use the imperial silver?"

"Hmph, Wang Qia and Bi Ziyan sang and harmonized, they were all forcing me to pay for money, and I had to move.

They force me, and I can force them, and force them to do their best to use me. ”

"The emperor's holy judgment."

After the two finished talking in the side hall, Chongzhen returned to the court again.

"I decided to take out 900,000 taels from the imperial silver to quell the rebellion in Shaanxi."

"Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty."

"I have the money, I need a capable minister, who can take over the post of governor of the three sides, and can go to quell the rebellion with the silver, who do you think can take on this important task?"

The position of the governor of the three sides is vacant, and Chongzhen needs to find a successor.

The ministers in the court muttered for a while, and finally discussed a candidate.

"The minister recommended Yang He, a scholar in the thirty-second year of Wanli, known as Qingwang."

Wang Yongguang, the secretary of the ministry, played in class.

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

Yang He, the father of Yang Sichang, put forward the strategy of "appeasement first, pursuit and suppression secondary".

Thanks to Yang He's efforts, the appeasement policy achieved some success, and almost all the rebel armies in Shaanxi accepted Zhao'an.

However, after Shen Yikui and other thieves surrendered and rebelled, the main forces of the imperial court repressed the faction and vigorously attacked Yang He's appeasement policy.

Later, Yang He was taken over by the imperial court and was succeeded by Hong Chengchou.

Wang Zezhi crawled on the ground, struggled in his heart for a moment, suddenly got up, bowed and stomped, and ran to the front.

Now that history has changed, it has changed more violently.

"There will be something to say at the end."

"Oh? But it doesn't hurt to say that. Although Chongzhen has many flaws, he also has many advantages, and being good at admonishing is one of them.

"The last general was originally from Shaanxi, and the last general thought that although Yang He had clear hope, he didn't know the soldiers."

"Presumptuous!"

"Nonsense."

When the courtiers heard Wang Zezhi say that Yang He didn't know how to soldier, they all had angry faces.

"Hehe... According to the words of the king general, who can take on this great responsibility. ”

"There are some things that the last general will say, I don't know whether to say it or not."

"Say."

Wang Zezhi was ready to make a big move, he was afraid that these people would blow up, so he said hello to Chongzhen first.

"What the last general said next, lest his words be careless and anger the emperor." Wang Zezhi also wanted Chongzhen to ask for a guarantee, otherwise he was really afraid that these ministers would beat him in the court.

"Even if you say that no matter what General Bing Wang says, the one who gives my words is not guilty." come

"Your Majesty." With Chongzhen's guarantee, Wang Zezhi is not afraid.

"In the opinion of the last general, the reason why the civil rebellion and mutiny in Shaanxi could not be dealt with in a timely manner is naturally due to the incompetence of local officials everywhere." Wang Zezhi paused here and looked around.

Instead of attacking the courtiers, he put the blame on the magistrates, who should not have reacted.

Sure enough, these Wenchen held their beards one by one and waited for him to continue.

"In the last general's subtle view, the inability to effectively organize a counterattack in Shaanxi is fundamentally due to the fact that Fuzhou and counties are acting independently and lack unified command.

What the states and counties are doing is nothing more than driving the thieves out of their jurisdictions.

You must know that it is easy to drive away the thieves, but it is difficult to exterminate the thieves, which is why the military newspaper will say that the officials and soldiers are running to kill.

The thieves were chased by officers and soldiers, and they went around snagging hungry people everywhere, and the number of them increased. ”

"I see." Chongzhen showed a look of sudden realization and let out a sigh.

When the courtiers heard this, they also felt that what Wang Zezhi said was reasonable, and they all closed their mouths and didn't dare to say more.

"Your Majesty, the hungry people in Shaanxi are in turmoil, but it is really because of the sudden drought in Shaanxi, and there is no way to make a living.

And the most of the thieves in Shaanxi are also hungry people, so if you want to quell the rebellion, you must first calm the people and give them a chance to survive.

You can't eat enough with silver alone.

In the end, the general will be brave enough to exempt Shaanxi from taxes and give food to eat.

These outcasts, as the last general knows, are timid and fearful farmers, and as long as they have a bite to eat, they will not rebel.

As long as they are no longer taxed heavily, and the people have a stutter, they will have children on that one-acre three-point field, and they will take root here.

In this way, the rebellion of the hungry people will become a tree without roots, a fountain without a source, and the honest and responsible people will inevitably part ways with those rebels, and the officials and troops will be able to exterminate the hungry people and make rebellion. ”

"Your Majesty, the general army of Datong is disrespectful and nonsense, and taxes cannot be exempted lightly."

"Your Majesty, the general army of Datong is open-mouthed, full of nonsense, don't be gullible, please be clear."

"Your Majesty, the general soldier of Datong, as a military general, vainly talks about the government and politics, please punish the emperor severely."

The courtiers blow up and cancel the taxes of a province, and they will have some less input, which they do not allow.

"I am not guilty of what I said, do you want me to go back on my word?"

Since Chongzhen ascended the throne, he rarely heard this kind of big truth, and finally heard a person who dared to tell the truth, and the ministers did not allow it, so he became angry all of a sudden, is this what Wang Zezhi said to deceive the young?

The emperor was angry, and the ministers bowed down and retreated, no longer lashing out at Wang Zezhi.

Wang Zezhi organized his language and continued to speak.

"The rebellion in Shaanxi should not be taken lightly, during the Apocalypse, because of the inability to endure the hunger and cold and the urging of the government, Baishui peasants Wang Er, Chong Guangdao and others, gathered hundreds of victims, armed with knives and weapons, painted their faces with ink, attacked the official warehouse, and scattered grain to the hungry people.

After that, in order to avoid being surrounded by the official army, Wang Er led his troops to retreat to the north of the Luohe River in Baishui County.

At this time, the number of hungry people with the army increased day by day, and the momentum was greatly boosted.

Wang Erqi's rebel army grew rapidly, fought many battles with the official army, repeatedly counterattacked, defeated the official army with fewer blows, and defeated the official army with more attacks, and everywhere he went, the hungry people and the deserters of the official army joined one after another, and the team quickly expanded to several thousand people, and continued to operate in Hancheng, Pucheng, Yijun, Luochuan, Baishui and other places.

Today, Wang Er is still immortal, and even joined Wang Jiayin's rebels.

Since the year of the Apocalypse, the imperial court has not provided relief to the victims of the disaster in Shaanxi.

It can be seen that silver cannot solve the problem of starving people at all.

If we want to solve the hunger and rebellion, we need to use soldiers.

The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, instead of squandering the silver, it is better to send the silver to the sergeants for food, and the sergeants will fight bravely to kill the enemy when they have food.

In the end, the general risked death to say that the powers of the towns were different, and it was advisable to set up ministers to unify them, and if they wanted to exterminate the thieves in Shaanxi, they should set up a governor of the five provinces.

The military affairs of Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Huguang, and Sichuan were the military affairs of Shaanxi, and the five provinces formed a situation of encirclement of Shaanxi, and the trend of exterminating thieves and thieves flowed around.

The governors of the five provinces should be appointed as those who know the soldiers, so as to mobilize the generals to besiege the rebel armies in Shaanxi, and they will be able to put down the rebellion in Shaanxi in one fell swoop. ”

"Your Majesty, this is a disobedient word, please punish the emperor severely."

"Ridiculous!"

"Don't be ashamed!"

"Rhetoric."

"Presumptuous."

"Bold."

After listening to Wang Zezhi's words, the generals exploded again, and after listening to Wang Zezhi's words, the generals' eyes flickered, thoughtfully, and the more they looked at the new general soldier, the more pleasing they became.
