133 Courts

In the city of Nanjing, the Ming Dynasty should be in the heavenly mansion, and now the capital of the year is rejuvenated, with the return of Emperor Chongzhen with the court and a group of important ministers, the city of Nanjing is an important position in the heart of the dynasty again.

Originally, there was a relatively complete set of six ministries in Nanjing, which was an important layer by layer as a companion capital, and with the relocation of the northern cabinet and the six ministries, these two overlapping official institutions began to fall into the stage of competing for power and profit, and until now they are still fighting openly and secretly.

"Bastard! Absurd! Damn it! ”

In the Fengtian Palace, the city that the high-ranking Emperor Chongzhen had experienced for many years was wiped out in front of a concerto, and the whole person looked angry and ruined.

"I'm going to kill him! Mobilize my troops and horses, and capture them in front of me with a thousand cuts!! ”

The six heads of state and cabinet ministers at the bottom were all silent, and they didn't dare to intervene for the time being, and Chongzhen performed alone.

Since violating the ancestral teachings and moving the capital to Nanjing, Chongzhen's temper has become more and more difficult to fathom, sometimes gentle and drizzly, sometimes windy and thunderous, so that the ministers who are good at figuring out their intentions are extremely spiritual.

The new head of the cabinet, Shi Kefa, the former secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, looked sideways, and saw that no one was inflamed, so he could only frown in the end, and took a step forward to speak: "Please also ask Your Majesty to calm your anger, the dragon body is the best!" ”

The first assistant in the Chongzhen period was really a hot potato, and whoever sat on it was not stable, not only to take care of the mess of the Ming Dynasty, but also to be prepared to take the blame for Emperor Chongzhen.

In desperation, he followed Chongzhen's intention to send Wei Zaode, the former first assistant of the Southern Dynasty, who was abandoned by Chongzhen, and was deposed as a common person to send to southern Xinjiang, so that the officials of the Northern Dynasty appeased the local officials in Nanjing and let Shi Kefa ascend to the position of the first assistant, and I don't know whether it was fortunate or unfortunate.

"What Li Tianyang, the commander of the Fujian Navy Division, did is incredible, ignoring the authority of the emperor, but after all, he still regards himself as a Ming general, and has not rebelled against the Ming Dynasty so far, and everything should be based on exhortation."

"Besides, now that most of our Korean troops are going north to recover their homeland, or along the Yangtze River moat to prevent the rebellion of Dashun, there are really no troops available."

"Thirdly, I have countless enemies around me, Daxi Zhang Reverse, Dashun Li Reversible are all my confidants, and the Jurchen barbarians of the Great Qing Dynasty also need to be contained by the army of the Admiral, otherwise it will be even more difficult to clean up."

"And the Admiral of the Navy has a strong army, which will help our dynasty a lot at present, and he is in charge of maritime hegemony, not only to prevent Western barbarians from coveting, but also to promote my Chinese prestige, so as not to make the Nanyang states laugh."

Shi Kefa is like his person, analyzing the pros and cons for Chongzhen from reality, and even has some roughness in his words, and he does not see the calm and relaxed posture of the first assistant in the past.

Of course, at this moment, the Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid it can't tolerate the kind of seemingly calm and relaxed, but in fact, it can only play with the power of the first assistant, so at this moment, the first assistant Shi Kefa, who is still in the upper position, has a lot of military affairs, and has a lot of experience at the grassroots level, and he is well aware of the predicament of the Ming Dynasty today, but it can be regarded as one of the best choices at the moment to serve as the first assistant.

It's just that I'm afraid that the self-righteous Emperor Chongzhen in front of me will be capricious and can't allow this talented pillar to stay in this position for too long.

"I am the Son of Heaven, and I still have to tolerate such a rebellious minister? Waiting for this group of waste, in addition to saying something that will never give up every day, but even a small admiral of the Navy can't take it down, what's the use of me waiting!! ”

Emperor Chongzhen was also angry, and the Jinyi Wei in his hand reported it, which can be called a great rebellion Hongmen intelligence, which really made Emperor Chongzhen lose face.

Finally, the Ming Dynasty recovered the Shuntianfu and Jingshi occupied by the Qing army, and achieved the biggest victory against the Qing Dynasty since Chongzhen, killing more than 5,000 people of the Qing female Allah, and the rest of the army was tens of thousands.

And the Ming Dynasty paid the same heavy price for this, Sun Chuanting a 170,000 soldiers, lost more than half, and finally until the recovery of the Beijing Division, Sun Chuanting had less than 80,000 soldiers, so he could only sit back and watch Ao Bai and others flee north with tens of thousands of remnants and did not dare to pursue.

This is still in the case that the Qing Dynasty itself was contained by the Hongtang army, and there were no reinforcements to support, if the Qing Dynasty was not contained by the Hongtang army, even Sun Chuanting himself could not imagine what kind of scene they would be like in the Ming Dynasty now.

After recovering his homeland, Chongzhen also had some smiles on his face, but he was no longer willing to relocate the capital back to Beijing, after all, at this time, the capital division had been destroyed to a pulp, and many palaces had become ruins.

"Damn it!!"

A group of courtiers immediately kowtowed and apologized, which was something that courtiers were accustomed to.

“……”

After venting the anger in his heart, he gradually regained his senses and waited for Chongzhen to still have a gloomy face, and finally began to ask the ministers of the humerus next to him after a long sigh: "Aiqing, in your opinion, how should I treat this Fujian Navy Admiral?" ”

said that he was asking everyone, but in fact, no one wanted to open his mouth now, and they all threw this problem to the first assistant Shi Kefa, anyway, he had already expressed his position just now, and now even if he made the emperor angry again, it would only anger him at most.

"Back to Your Majesty, with all due respect, the old minister said bluntly, in the current situation, as long as Li Tianyang, the commander of the Fujian Navy Division, did not directly rebel against the Ming Dynasty, then my court should ignore the other party's behavior in Dayuan Island Merchants that do not conform to the Ming law, and disrespect the Ming Court."

"I still need the other party to continue to pressure the Qing Dynasty outside the Northeast Pass, so that the Daqing Jurchen will no longer be my Ming henchman!"

"Without the drag of the Qing Dynasty, the ministers are convinced that I am a Ming soldier and will be able to suppress the rebellion of Daxi and Dashun within a few years, and finally regain the lost land!"

Fighting with the Qing people, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were not confident at the beginning, and they could not play eight points in terms of combat power; However, when it comes to attacking a peasant rebel army like Daxi, the regular army of the Ming Dynasty is full of confidence, and it can play a 12-point momentum with 10 combat strength.

"When we recover all our homeland, with the vast land of my Ming Dynasty, it is not too late to go back and get rid of this scourge!"

"After all, this Dayuan Island was originally not my Ming territory, and the imperial court has not paid much attention to it over the years, so this is the admiral of the Navy on his island, at least it will not harm my Daming country!"

Shi Kefa said this, but he finally talked about the sore spot of Emperor Chongzhen, which made him think about it.

The ultimate henchmen of the Ming Dynasty were still the rebellion of the two major peasants in the north and southwest, and the Hongmen of Dayuan Island was far from the point of tension between itself and the Ming Dynasty.
