The chaos in Shanxi was quelled, and the imperial court won a big victory. Fastest updates

The imperial court has not had such a big victory for a long time, and Chongzhen also needs to use this victory to boost the morale of the army, so it is quite grand.

Later, I heard that the Houjin army in Jiayuguan had completely withdrawn, and there was no threat for the time being. Although he didn't know why Huang Taiji suddenly withdrew his troops, Chongzhen was still very happy.

There was no threat at the border, and he just put all his energy on the territory. Refocus on the rebels and Mao Wenlong.

In the imperial study, Wu Chengen's face was full of smiles, he hadn't seen Chongzhen so happy for nearly a year. At this moment, he seems to be a few years younger in an instant, and his mental outlook is so good.

People are in good spirits when they are happy, and this moment is the best portrayal of Chongzhen.

"Hahaha......"

Hearty laughter has been heard frequently in the imperial study since the morning has come down.

The guards and eunuchs outside didn't know what was going on, and they were full of confusion. However, the emperor was happy, and their subordinates, who had been frightened, were also relieved a lot.

Wu Chengen reminded Chongzhen by the way when he was happy: "Your Majesty, after the great victory in Shanxi, I was rewarded by you, which can be described as cheers from the army and the people, and they are all grateful to the emperor." Yesterday, a number of generals have already played to you, hoping that the emperor will allow them to take advantage of the victory to pursue and retake the whole territory of Shaanxi. ”

Chongzhen had a smile on his face, and said lightly: "Don't worry, there have been frequent wars recently, and we are all tired of coping, so the soldiers should take a good rest." As for Shaanxi, since it had been given up before, there was no need to take it back now. Just let that Li Zicheng stay there to contain Mao Wenlong. ”

Wu Chengen nodded again and again: "What the emperor said is very true, the old slave will go to convey his will." ”

Chongzhen nodded, waved his hand to let Wu Chengen retreat, and the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting in the room were all blasted outside by him to guard. He was alone in the imperial study, lost in thought.

The imperial court is in urgent need of recuperation, but God does not give Chongzhen any chance to rest. On the surface, there is no fighting for the time being, but this is only a superficial sign.

The defeat of the imperial court is not only the rebel army of Mao Wenlong and Li Zicheng who are making trouble, but also the damned Huang Taiji, who has been peeking at the Ming Dynasty. In addition, there are also self-respecting princes and nobles and border guards from all over the country.

These people with heavy troops are all on Chongzhen's suspicious list, and these people are the people Chongzhen is the first person to guard against, compared to Li Zicheng and Mao Wenlong.

But Chongzhen has no way to reduce the power of these people now, after all, at this moment, he still has to rely on these people to keep this family business for him. Without them, the edifice of the Ming Dynasty would be reduced to ashes in an instant.

Another problem that needs to be solved urgently is that the national treasury is now empty, and there is a serious shortage of tax revenues in various places. And it is always peeled layer by layer, and there is not one in ten taxes that can really be sent to the treasury.

"Well, how can I replenish the treasury?"

Chongzhen sighed to himself and fell into deep meditation. The old happiness is gone, and it no longer exists.

Whether the treasury is full or not, to a certain extent, can also reflect the wealth of the country, and it is also the performance of Chongzhen, the emperor's political achievements.

With enough money and food, the rebellious people can be quelled, and once the rebellious people no longer rise up to rebel, there will not be so much war. And those who support their own troops will have no possibility of rebellion, and the world will be peaceful.

I believe that as long as there is no civil strife in the Ming Dynasty, then Huang Taiji outside the border will not dare to violate the border so unscrupulously.

The root of all this is money and food.

"Mao Wenlong......" Chongzhen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he seemed to think of something?

On the same day, a fast horse galloped away in the imperial city, and arrived in Kaifeng City three days later, and the messenger sent by Chongzhen confessed to Zhuang Yexiang, the city lord of Kaifeng City, that he wanted to meet Mao Wenlong.

After Zhuang Yexiang asked what was going on, she learned that Chongzhen actually wrote a secret letter to Mao Wenlong, and he had to get this messenger to hand it over to Mao Wenlong in person.

This matter is not small, Zhuang Yexiang immediately asked the messenger to wait, and she sent someone to Ye County to report to Mao Wenlong and let him make a decision.

Soon after, Mao Wenlong sent an order for Zhuang Yexiang to send someone to escort the messenger to Yexian to meet him.

When Mao Wenlong opened Chongzhen's letter to him, after reading it, his face was full of strange expressions. confused Hong Chengchou, a strategist.

"What the hell does the letter say?" Hong Chengchou was also very curious, what would Chongzhen say when he suddenly wrote to Mao Wenlong?

Mao Wenlong hesitated for a moment, and finally threw the letter directly to Hong Chengchou, and then drank tea quietly without giving any explanation.

Hong Chengchou took a quick reading, and after a while, his expression was even more exaggerated than Mao Wenlong's just now, and he exclaimed: "I actually want to recruit An, and I also promise to make you the king of the opposite sex, this is ......"

Hong Chengchou was so surprised that he didn't know what to say, and in Chongzhen's letter, there was full sincerity between the lines, and there was no slightest.

Mao Wenlong was very calm, he put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Don't be surprised, Chongzhen is the emperor, but he said in such a tone that he wants to recruit me." If it is from his hand, do you not suspect that he has another purpose? ”

After Mao Wenlong's reminder, Hong Chengchou immediately calmed down, and he nodded and admitted: "Indeed, everything in this letter is doubtful. But this deed and seal are absolutely authentic, and I can assure you that it is indeed the hand of the Son of Heaven. ”

"As for what the purpose is, I'm really confused now, I can't figure it out?" Hong Chengchou was quite helpless.

Mao Wenlong didn't care, he chuckled: "If you want to know what his purpose is, it's very simple, I'll write back to him right now to spy on him." ”

Mao Wenlong moved quickly, immediately returned to his study, asked Hong Chengchou to write for him, and wrote a long letter freely. Then give it to the messenger and ask him to take it back and give it to Chongzhen.

In less than ten days, Mao Wenlong received Chongzhen's reply again, but this time there was not much to say in the letter. Just invited Mao Wenlong to meet in person, and the location was about a small town on the border of Shanxi.

Mao Wenlong raised the letter in his hand and said with a smile: "Do you want to go to the appointment?" ”

After coming to Daming for so long, Mao Wenlong has not seen Chongzhen himself, in fact, he is still quite excited at this moment, and wants to meet this rather legendary figure.

Hong Chengchou pondered for a moment, shook his head and said to Mao Wenlong: "No, we can't be sure if this is a conspiracy. If we do want to meet, it should be on our territory, not by him. ”
