Chapter 13 The Plan Begins
This year, Chongzhen's queen gave birth to a son, and Chongzhen named Zhu Cihong. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info has a child but Chongzhen didn't spend too much time with him, Chongzhen understands that if Daming can't keep it, it will only be a tragedy waiting for his child.
With Chongzhen's silver spent, the new army slowly took shape under the training of Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng, and after experiencing several bandit suppression tasks, the recruits who had seen blood and killed people gradually formed a certain combat effectiveness.
The longer he has been in this world, the more Chongzhen feels that he is a little powerless as an emperor, the army is okay, he has avoided the court, Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng are directly responsible for themselves, and the military expenses are also from their own treasury, there is not much problem in this regard, but the strength of a country cannot rely on an army alone, and government affairs are also very important.
When he first ascended the throne, he slaughtered the little prestige established by Wei Zhongxian, and he had almost consumed it when he ordered someone to check Wei Zhongxian's family property, and that time the East Lin Party did not reap the benefits and began to complain, and later he introduced Cao Huachun to take over Wei Zhongxian's position, which greatly threatened the Donglin Party, especially after Cao Huachun cleaned up a group of old stubborn and clear people in the court, and now the officials of the entire court are all messy and things, according to the latest information that he let Dongchang collect, Chongzhen estimates that with his current prestige, if he deals with those officials on a large scale without reason, it is estimated that the entire southern region will rebel and set up a new emperor.
Now I can't get involved in government affairs, and I don't know how to interfere, after all, I haven't been an emperor, and I haven't been educated by the emperor, so I still let the group of old-fashioned and celebrant supervisors in the edict prison deal with it. However, the team of his new dynasty has slowly taken shape, and when the time is ripe, Chongzhen doesn't mind learning from the Ming Taizu, everything he says now is false, and only by working hard to cultivate his own power is true.
Just as Chongzhen was looking at the property report of the ministers of the DPRK and China sent by Dongchang on the dragon chair, a little eunuch trotted all the way and handed a secret fold to Chongzhen. After a period of development, the intelligence network of the Espionage Division has initially covered most of the empire, and now the Empire's Espionage Department in BJ City has a special person to analyze all kinds of information transmitted from all over the country, once there is any information that threatens the stability of the empire, there will be a special person from the Espionage Department to send the secret fold to Chongzhen here, with the current news transmission speed of the Imperial Espionage Division, as long as there is anything that threatens the empire in the area covered by the espionage network, On the same day, this matter will appear in the form of a secret fold to Chongzhen.
Chongzhen picked up the secret fold, and there was a "Liao" outside the secret fold, which showed that this secret fold was the information transmitted from Liaodong, could it be that something happened in Liaodong, and Chongzhen couldn't help but pick up the secret fold and began to look at it carefully.
This secret fold reported, just yesterday Liaodong's Yuan Chonghuan's false holy decree killed the border general Mao Wenlong, is Mao Wenlong already dead, then the Qing army lost its scruples to enter the pass is just around the corner, "Come people, go and gather Sun Chengzong, Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, Qin Liangyu four adults to come to the hall", the Xiaoice River period not only Daming was affected by the wild boar skin is not good, now lost the threat of Mao Wenlong, in order to survive this winter, it is estimated that the wild boar skin will take a risky move.
In the main hall, Chongzhen asked people to take out the map and hang it on the wall, just after hanging the map, Sun Chengzong and several people arrived one after another, "Since everyone has arrived, let's take a look at the latest information from Liaodong just sent" Chongzhen handed the information in his hand to Sun Chuanting who was standing on the side, and after a few people circulated it, Sun Chengzong's face was not very good after reading it.
"Sun Aiqing {Sun Chengzong) You see that your student Yuan Chonghuan is so capable, he killed the general of the border pass with a fake holy decree, how do you say I should deal with it" Sun Chengzong is Yuan Chonghuan's teacher after all, how can he watch Yuan Chonghuan be dealt with by Chongzhen, but now no one can understand Chongzhen's mind, the matter of killing the border general with a fake holy decree is something that every general who leads the army outside does not want to see, who knows if this kind of thing will fall on his head that day.
"No matter what the emperor does, the old minister has nothing to say" After speaking, Sun Chengzong knelt down, Chongzhen understood that this was interceding for Yuan Chonghuan, originally Chongzhen didn't plan to kill Yuan Chonghuan, after all, he is also a talent, but now the court is weak, and Yuan Chonghuan's power is a little too big, it is inevitable that there will be some self-righteousness, Chongzhen was forced by the pressure of the war in Liaodong in the previous life, and finally this matter was over, but in the end Yuan Chonghuan was killed to say that there was no impact of this incident, Chongzhen himself did not believe it, No matter what the emperor is, he will not like a guy who pretends to pass the holy decree to kill the border general, and then uses the border war to pressure the emperor to compromise.
"Get up, I don't have the time to deal with him for the time being, now that there is no Mao Wenlong's control, the wild boar skin has lost its scruples, if Huang Taiji enters the customs at Xifeng Pass this winter, you Aiqing will see how to deal with it" Chongzhen said the information he knew in his previous life, after all, in the end, he had to rely on these people to lead the troops and fight Huang Taiji, so it was better to prepare early.
"Your Majesty, Zhu Guoyan, the current chief soldier of the Santun Battalion at Xifengkou, does not have many troops, and the three customs have the chief soldier Zhao Shujiao and Yuan Chonghuan will definitely not be able to enter the Manchu Dynasty, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty can only bypass the Shanhai Pass, in case it really goes to Xifengkou and Zhu Guoyan will definitely not be able to stop it, and the minister is willing to lead the troops to the Santun camp to station" Lu Xiangsheng stepped forward and asked for his life.
"Let Aiqing support the Santun camp, if the Manchu Qing Dynasty enters the customs, and let Yuan Chonghuan lead the troops out of the customs, it is indeed easy to force back Huang Taiji, but now the national situation has been seen by all Aiqing, the people are rebelling everywhere in the country, and now I can tell you that this drought will continue for several years, but the imperial court can't come up with so much money for disaster relief, even if it is taken out, it is useless, and the disaster relief money will not reach the people at all and will be divided by officials at all levels. The situation of rebellion will only get worse and worse, and outside the pass, whether it is the Manchu Qing or Mongolia, they are eyeing the Ming Dynasty, and when the time comes, it is indispensable to fall into the well, and now the empire does not have the energy and financial resources to support the long-term two-front war, as long as the natural disaster is still in the rebellion, it will not be able to suppress, the only possible opportunity to solve the two-front battle of the empire is to take a little risk this time to let the Manchu Qing enter the customs, let the Jurchens go all the way to Beijing, and fight to the death with the Manchus in the capital, as long as the Manchu elite who entered the customs is defeated or disabled, With the population of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it has not been able to recover in the past few years, of course, if the war is defeated, I don't plan to get out of this imperial city, and the future will have nothing to do with me" Chongzhen has already thought about it, fight early or be slowly grinded to death by the peasant army and Huang Taiji later, why not take advantage of the strength of the battle to gamble.
"The emperor can't, if something happens, the ministers and others will be sinners through the ages" Sure enough, none of these people supported their crazy plan.
"I have made up my mind, there is no need to discuss this matter anymore, a few Aiqing will go down and prepare for the army to fight" After speaking, Chongzhen turned around and left. The next plan is very dangerous, in case he fails and dies in this imperial city, but this does not mean that the Ming Dynasty will die, and it is time to leave a way back for his child Cihong.
