Chapter 160: Dare Not to Donate? (Ask for subscription, 2/10)

Emperor Chongzhen's heart was very happy, and some words he had already held in his stomach, but he could never squirt them out. Because he has never been able to get rid of the political atmosphere in the late Zhu Ming period, and people also love face, he can only be dumb and can't say that he has suffered from Coptis chinensis.

Even if I want to break all the Taoist officials into pieces, such as that damn Guang Shiheng!

But the whole person has always been in the civil and political atmosphere of the late Ming Dynasty, and everything can only be thought about when dreaming.

Today is the wish I have gotten my wish, and I let out a bad breath, and I have a feeling of being light-hearted!

The faces of some of the officials in the queue of hundreds of officials changed, although they were indeed joking about the survival of the Ming Dynasty to make a name for themselves, but it was okay to see if it was open? This is the rule of the court, and today the emperor is a bit excessive.

But these people's mouths opened again and again, but no one dared to come out and flirt with the tiger's whiskers.

The emperor has said everything, if they dare to stand up and brush up their reputation, will they really become ill-intentioned people who "invite fame and sell good", and do not hesitate to trap the society and the country to death?

Do you really think that Li Zicheng's army is about to kill outside the city, and the emperor's knife will be disadvantaged?

"Your Majesty's words are extremely true! The old minister seconded the proposal. "It's finally time for Zhou Yanru to appear. He was in a very light mood, because in the previous discussion, the person who was thrown out as a substitute for the dead ghost was Chen Yan. And not him, the head of the cabinet.

The world has been corrupted to this point, and Zhou Yanru, as the first assistant, has an unshirkable responsibility. But Emperor Chongzhen couldn't bear him.

Of course, Zhou Yanru didn't want to die, but now that he got his wish, he was very happy.

The weight of the first assistant of the cabinet is not ordinary, and the ministers are silent. Zhou Yanru opened his mouth and said, "As soon as the Guanning army moves, the land outside the pass will be abandoned, and the imperial court will no longer have a barrier on the eastern front, and the eastern captives will break through the pass in the blink of an eye." And Guan Ning's army does not move, and Li Thief is going to attack Jingshi again, so there is a danger of social subversion......"

"The old minister is stupid, and he really can't think of a way to solve the difficulties of the court. Only now does it seem that the two powers are the lesser of two powers. It is necessary to send the Guanning army to help. But in this way, the front door of the court refuses the tiger to enter the wolf at the back door, and the harm of the East Thief is even worse than that of the Li thief, and the court can repel the Li thief, and it is difficult to regain its majesty if it has a moment of respite. So they had no choice but to move south.

The old minister asked His Majesty to quickly bring the princes, kings, civil and military officials, and nobles to Jinling in the south. Across the river, survival continues. ”

Don't say anything about the counterattack on the Central Plains in the future, just say that for now, it is the truth to keep the banner of Daming first.

Zhou Yanru still has some dependents in the court, and seeing that he has already expressed his position like this, a group of people stood up and seconded the proposal. In addition, Li Banghua and other courtiers who had already supported the southward move also came out together, and Emperor Chongzhen's heart was completely put in his stomach.

Don't look at the fact that before the gathering of the ministers, he had discussed with Zheng Zhilong and others for a long time, and it was absolutely foolproof according to the reason, but he had repeatedly asked the ministers to discuss the matter of moving south, and the abacus was repeatedly unsatisfactory, so that he always had a feeling of fear. Now it's finally complete.

"The minister is willing to donate 20,000 taels ......"

"The minister is willing to donate 10,000 taels ......"

"The minister is also willing to donate 10,000 taels ......"

After the decision to move south was completely finalized, the matter of fundraising and funding was also mentioned in front of us. Of the two soldiers and horses that Yanjing City can count on, one has already arrived, but the other one is a lion, and if he doesn't feed people, he can't make Wu Sangui do his best after all.

Therefore, moving south is a big deal, and fundraising is also a big deal, and it is even more urgent.

Yanjing City is still counting on this money to attract some young and strong people to guard the city, even if the capital will eventually be lost, but it is better to stick to one or two and delay for a few days, isn't it?

But what made Emperor Chongzhen so dangerous and angry was that although the civil and military officials and nobles of the Manchu Dynasty were better than the last time he raised donations, they were still very cunning. The stingy face made him want to call people and click people.

But in the eyes of the civil and military officials and many nobles below, their stinginess should be deserved. That's all their own money, and now the big guy is going to run away to Jiangnan again, and all the family property and real estate are lost in the north, and a son can't wait to break it in half, and it is already commendable to give up thousands of taels of silver to donate to the emperor.

As for the family, on the way to the south, it is thousands of miles away, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents, the existing family is not enough, many people want to go home and immediately sprinkle silver to attract some Ding Zhuang, where is the surplus to the emperor?

However, despite this, Emperor Chongzhen still collected more than one million taels of silver, and with the silver money in his hand, he immediately had confidence in his heart. First of all, the treatment of the officers and soldiers defending the city was raised, and the treatment of the defenders of the capital before was that as long as people went to the city, they would pay a hundred dollars a day. This treatment is naturally much more generous than in the past, but it is not very attractive to the people of the capital now.

Emperor Chongzhen also understood the truth that the emperor did not send hungry soldiers, so he first allocated 30,000 taels of silver to the British Duke Zhang Shize, asking him to reward the defenders in the city on behalf of the emperor. Then he gave Wang Chengen 300,000 taels and told him to recruit troops in Gyeonggi as soon as possible, as for the armor and materials stored in the military war bureau and arsenal, once they are needed, they do not need to be reported, they can only be used.

Zheng Zhilong was rewarded with 50,000 taels of silver, and the pure army also sent strong and brave people to defend the imperial city, and they were rewarded with silver.

As long as there is silver in his hand, Emperor Chongzhen is still very generous.

Zheng Zhilong was also added to the rank of secretary of the military department and promoted to lead the Beijing division Ma Bujun. It can be said that the official has been promoted by one level!

"Said suburbs (Zheng Zhiguan), you go and take someone to clean up Fan Yongliang. Remember, don't show traces of our army, and be careful. ”

Zheng Zhiguan, this guy is in Zheng Zhilong's generation, in terms of courage and bravery, it is all counted backwards. But if you talk about prudence and safety first, it is the first among all people.

Zheng Zhilong transferred him from the army early to organize the 'Jinyi Guard' belonging to the Zheng family, so there was no reason for this.

Zheng Zhiguan's face was happy, "Big brother, don't worry." Fan Liu'er, the younger brother has been staring at him for a long time. The latter had already left the capital, but he did not go far, including the large amount of grain and rice that the Fan family had brought in from the south, and Zheng Zhiguan was familiar with it.

"Don't beat people to death, Fan Yongliang has a lot of useful things in his stomach."

"You just wait, the little brother will take out all the contents of his stomach." Then I didn't delay chopping up the dog and feeding it to the dog.

Zheng Zhiguan didn't have a too clear national view in his mind, but isn't this Zheng Zhilong's love and hatred, the king of Chu has a thin waist, and he starved to death in the palace. With Zheng Zhilong, who is the boss, as an example, the 'three views' of the upper-level people within the Zheng Group are now upright.

Fan Yongliang is not in the city, Zheng Zhiguan naturally wants to go out of the city. He also got a token of Zheng Zhilong in his hand.

Because, before he reached the Dongzhi Gate, the dense crowd of people, carriages and horses had already surrounded the entire street, and it was at least a mile away from the city gate.

Since Zheng Jun entered the city, seventy-six gates inside and outside the capital have been ordered to be closed by him.

Ordinary people can go out but not enter, and merchants and others are willing to go out of the city, and they are not hindered. But the gentry with merit and fame did not, and even less the officials.

Now that it is a national crisis, and their generation has received the grace of the country, how can they not contribute to the court at this critical juncture?

"Shi Lang."

"The little one has seen the Seven Princes." Shi Lang clasped his fists and saluted.

Zheng Zhiguan is Zheng Zhipeng's brother, not Zheng Zhilong's brother, but if he can be changed to the word 'Zhi', it is equivalent to being pulled into the gang by Zheng Zhilong. In the Zheng Group, the younger generations call Zheng Zhiguan the "Seventh Prince", although he is a few months older than Zheng Zhibao, but this is the same as the eighteen Zhi Jieyi of the year, the oldest is not necessarily the eldest brother.

"Da Mu Ke told you everything?" Zheng Zhiguan knew very well that the young man in front of him was not only valued by Zheng Sen, but also valued by Zheng Zhilong.

"The eldest son has orders."

"Then pick up the soldiers and follow me."
