A big victory outside the Yongding Gate, accidentally killed the commander Mang Gurtai who was second only to Huang Taiji in Houjin, Qi Yuangong and other generals were promoted, will Chongzhen also promote Zhang Bin?

Chongzhen seems to want to, but Zhang Bin doesn't want to, not that he doesn't want to be promoted, but he doesn't want to be caught by Chongzhen.

In fact, the shortcut to the rapid promotion in the Chongzhen Dynasty is not only bragging about it, but there is also a similar one, that is, Chongzhen catches a strong man when he is in a hurry, and he will also give you a rocket to rise, but that is not a good thing.

For example, Xiong Wencan, who was seized by him as the governor of Fujian, was arrested by Chongzhen and directly promoted to the secretary of the military department and the right deputy capital of Yushi, and the prime minister of Nangi, Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Huguang, and Sichuan military affairs.

This guy looks like such a big official!

However, it is not a good thing, it is to ask him to exterminate the peasant rebel army, Xiong Wencan frightened with "five difficulties and four inconsequentials", and tried his best to shirk it, but as a result, he was still "entrusted with a heavy task" by Chongzhen.

At that time, the peasant uprising was burned by wildfire, where is it so easy to extinguish, Xiong Wencan is still good, he was almost extinguished by him, but unfortunately, he was fooled by a big fool Zhang Xianzhong, he did not do his full work, and then Zhang Xianzhong surrendered and re-sentenced, the more troublesome and fierce, Xiong Wencan was directly pulled by Chongzhen to click!

At this time, Chongzhen seems to have a tendency to catch strong men again, he won't catch himself to exterminate Jiannu, then it will be a big trouble, he can't do Huang Taiji at this time, Mang Gurtai is himself hit the muzzle of the gun, rushed into the Wuhan Iron and Steel car formation to find death, Huang Taiji is not as reckless as him.

As long as Huang Taiji plays hide and seek and uses the advantage of cavalry to run around, he can't even eat the ashes behind his buttocks, and when the time comes, he will slaughter a city here and rob there, Chongzhen will be angry, and it is estimated that he will drag himself to cut down!

Looking at Chongzhen's more and more appreciative eyes, Zhang Bin couldn't help but wail in his heart, Your Majesty, my little arms and legs are not strong men, don't catch me!

As a result, he was still caught by Chongzhen, Chongzhen looked at him for a while, and suddenly waved his hand and said: "You all go down, accompany you to put away the corpse of this slave chieftain Mang Gurtai, Zhang Aiqing, you come up with me." ”

After that, he turned around and walked towards the city, which meant that Zhang Bin would follow him to the city gatehouse.

Zhang Bin regretted this in his heart, he was seriously pretending to be too much, he was too powerful in front of Chongzhen, and Mang Gurtai, the No. 2 person in Jiannu, was killed by himself, Chongzhen naturally thought that it was just a piece of cake for him to clean up Huang Taiji.

Problem, Huang Taiji can't clean it up at this time, he is too mobile, even if there are four or five hundred thousand Qinwang troops gathered in the capital later, he can still come and go freely, you can't do anything about him!

What to do?

Zhang Bin followed behind Chongzhen, looking respectful and respectful, but he didn't dare to get angry, but his mind was running wildly.

It was only a hundred or so steps from the city gate to the city gate tower, and soon, they came to the city gate tower.

Chongzhen looked at the neat car formation in the distance with his hands in his hands, and said with appreciation: "Shuangquan, I really didn't expect that you not only managed the place effectively, but also fought bravely, you are really both civil and military!" ”

Zhang Bin wailed in his heart: "Wenwu Shuang is a fart, it's good to pretend." ”

Of course, no matter how fierce he was, he didn't dare to talk to Chongzhen like this, on the surface, he still said modestly: "I don't dare to be the emperor to praise him like this, Weichen is just a blessing to the emperor, this car array, artillery array, and even the mandarin duck array are more than enough defense and insufficient attack, if you want Mang Gurtai not to bump into him stupidly, Weichen can't do anything about him." It's all thanks to the emperor, it's just luck, it's just luck."

The so-called lover's eye is out of Xi Shi, when you look at a person pleasing to the eye, no matter how you look at it, Chongzhen will look at Zhang Bin at this time, and the more he looks at it, the more pleasing it is, he shook his head with a smile and said: "This has nothing to do with luck, a few days ago I also watched other generals play against Jiannu, they also have a car formation, they also have artillery, but they were defeated by Jiannu, so in the end, the battle still depends on the strength, no matter how good the luck is, it is useless." By the way, Shuangquan, why did you rush over so quickly, Fujian is four or five thousand miles away from here, and the reinforcements from four or five hundred miles away have not yet arrived. ”

Zhang Bin rolled his eyes and explained: "Back to the emperor, Weichen was originally assembling an army to prepare to defend against the attack of Hongmaofan, but as a result, Hongmaofan did not come, but the military department arrived, Weichen immediately led the army to the north, and it was the emperor Hongfu, the journey was smooth, the speed of the ship was like an arrow, and the result was two days to the coast near Tianjin Wei. ”

The sailboat is smooth sailing, the speed of the ship is like a galloping horse, this Chongzhen has heard of it, but he forgot about the matter of Hongmaofan, Zhang Bin mentioned this, his face immediately changed, and asked: "Does Hongmaofan really want to go to war with Daming?" ”

Zhang Bin nodded solemnly and said: "Your Majesty, they will have a battle with the Ming Dynasty, because the Yuegang Mutual Market has robbed them of their business and made them suffer heavy losses. Last time, they had already sent the pirate Liu Xiang to attack the merchant ship of the Ming Dynasty, but fortunately, with the protection of the sailor, the merchant ship was not robbed by him. If he is really robbed, most of the merchants in Yuegang will be closed for compensation. ”

When Chongzhen heard this, his face turned cold, Yuegang is related to nearly two million two hundred a year of income, how can he let the red haired fan rob it, dare to rob me of money, dream!

He said coldly: "These red-haired fans are too despicable, is that the pirate Liu Xiang the one who escaped from Dongfan last time?" ”

Zhang Bin nodded and said: "Yes, he hid in Qiongzhou Mansion again, and the whip of Weichen is beyond his reach, so there is no way to exterminate him." ”

He meant to remind Chongzhen that I didn't exterminate all the pirates around Fujian, people ran to Guangdong and fell into the grass, so you can't blame me.

At this time, Chongzhen had already been led by him, and his whole mind was rushed to Yuegang, because Yuegang's income was too important to him.

In fact, he knew that the levy of Liao was to quench his thirst, but he had no choice, if he did not levy Liao salary, there would be no money to pay food, no money to pay food, and the soldiers in Liaodong would have to rebel.

This month, Hong Kong has an income of nearly two million taels a year, if it is served by the red hair, not only two million taels are gone, but also to invest money to fight the red hair, this comes and goes, but it is three or four million taels, and the salary is almost in vain!

Chongzhen thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Shuangquan, if I let you be the governor of Fuguang, do you have the confidence to completely exterminate the pirates and defeat the red haired fan." ”

Governor Fuguang, good!

Zhang Bin immediately pretended to be serious, and nodded solemnly: "If you can manage Guangdong, there will naturally be no problem in completely exterminating the pirate Liu Xiangbu, plus the warships of the Guangdong Navy Division, Weichen will be more confident in defeating Hongmaofan." Moreover, after the pirates of Qiongzhou Mansion were exterminated, they could also relocate civilians to open up wasteland and farm, so that the imperial court could increase the income of hundreds of thousands of taels of land, and Macao, if it was possible to establish a mutual market similar to Yuegang near Macao to do business with the Francophiles, the annual rent and taxes could also increase by millions of taels, and if the business of the merchants of the Ming Dynasty became bigger, the merchant ships would definitely increase, and the income from the sale of ships would increase by a large amount, so that Guangdong could almost increase its income by about two million taels. ”

When Chongzhen heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, it was two million taels again, and the taxes of Fujian and Guangdong added up to the sum of all the taxes in the entire Ming Dynasty, so that he might not be short of money anymore!

He immediately clapped his head and said: "Okay, I will promote you to be the squire of the military department and the left deputy capital of the imperial history, and the governor Fuguang." ”

When Zhang Bin heard this, he immediately bowed his hand and said, "Thank you for the emperor's grace." ”

He knew that only money could make Chongzhen change his mind, and if he said that Jiannu was not good to fight or something, he wouldn't care at all.

Now it's okay, Chongzhen has made a decision to let his governor Fuguang, and he will definitely not catch himself as a strong man to clean up Huang Taiji.

Unexpectedly, he was just glad in his heart, and Chongzhen suddenly sighed again: "Alas, the affairs of the southeast are handed over to you, and I am relieved, but this Jiannu in Liaodong, who will share my worries." ”

Don't look for me, Zhang Bin hurriedly led the troubled water to the east and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Yuan Chonghuan, the Governor of Jiliao, doesn't seem to have any problem dealing with Jiannu." ”

Unexpectedly, Chongzhen said slightly angrily: "This Yuan Chonghuan, in vain Fei Zhen trusted him so much, but he repeatedly deceived me, saying that he had been leveling Liao for five years, and as a result, he had brought Jiannu to the capital in only two years." Also, it has recently been rumored that he fornicated with Jiannu, and it was he who led Jiannu to the capital, and I have already made him arrest and put him in prison. ”

When Zhang Bin heard this, his face turned to the side, Yuan Chonghuan was arrested, he didn't receive the news, it should be what happened in the past two days.

Of course he knew that this was Huang Taiji playing a trick, if Chongzhen killed Yuan Chonghuan alive according to the historical trajectory and chilled the hearts of the Liaodong soldiers, it would be troublesome.

His mind was running wildly again, how could he save Yuan Chonghuan?

Tell Chongzhen directly, if you fall into the evil role of Huang Taiji, you will definitely not work, it will be a slap in the face, not only can you not save Yuan Chonghuan, but you will be implicated.

Thinking about it, only by digging out the inner ghost that Huang Taiji bought first, and letting him summon Huang Taiji's tricks, can Chongzhen wake up.

At this time, he couldn't continue the topic of Yuan Chonghuan, Zhang Bin thought about it, and directly led the topic away: "Your Majesty, Weichen has a clumsy plan to slowly consume Jiannu." ”

Chongzhen immediately asked with interest, "Oh, what is the plan?" ”

Zhang Bin explained: "It is what Weichen said before about relocating the civilians of Liaodong, and if the civilians of Liaodong are relocated, Jiannu will lose the supply of grain and grass, and he can only farm the land by himself. There are only a million Jiannu in total, and they can't last long. ”

The plan to relocate the civilians of Liaodong was actually put forward a long time ago, but the effect was not very great, although Mao Wenlong was stealing people in the past two years, but the effect of stealing was not very ideal, Chongzhen couldn't help sighing: "How can it be so easy to relocate the civilians of Liaodong, Jiannu will definitely not ignore it, and it is difficult to rob people under their noses." ”

When Zhang Bin heard this, he immediately offered his treasure and said: "It is really difficult in normal times, but once Huang Taiji leads the main force to leave Liaodong, it will be simple, before Weichen came, he has sent hundreds of small sailing boats to Phi Island to find the chief soldier Mao Wenlong, Mao Wenlong's 30,000 horses are usually not very good in the hands of Jiannu, this time it is different, Jiannu left in Liaodong people and horses don't know if there are 30,000, plus so many cities are scattered, Mao Wenlong can easily move out a large number of civilians, It can even turn Liaodong upside down. ”

When Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but slap his face and said: "That's right, Huang Taiji has led the main army to the capital at this time, and the defense of Liaodong must be empty. ”

Zhang Bin nodded and said: "It should have been done, Mao Wenlong is still very diligent, but when the main force of Jiannu was in Liaodong, he didn't do much because of the lack of troops, just like that, he almost moved out of Liaodong last year with more than 100,000 civilians, and it is estimated that he has moved out a lot." Now there are only a million civilians in Liaodong, not to mention too much, 100,000 are moved away from him a year, and they will have no one to farm for ten years. ”

Ten years, for an urgent son like Chongzhen, it is a bit of a long time, but he has no other good way, and the 10,000 people under Zhang Bin can defeat some of the Jiannu cavalry, and the other armies have not seen the one that can really beat the Jiannu cavalry.

Chongzhen nodded helplessly and said: "For the time being, it can only be like this, by the way, Shuangquan, you still don't want to go back to Fuguang for the time being, Jiannu will not retreat, the capital is still in danger, you stay, first help Jingying to defend the capital, and then return to Fuguang when Jiannu retreats." ”

When Zhang Bin heard this, he immediately arched his hand and said: "Weichen obeys the order." ”

Chongzhen thought for a while, and simply said: "In this way, you can temporarily hang up an assistant Jingying Rongzheng to assist the British public to help me guard the capital." ”

This feeling is good, I am trying to investigate the ghosts, the assistant Jingying Rongzheng is actually the deputy commander-in-chief of the Beijing camp, and he has great power, which is just convenient for him, so he immediately arched his hand and said: "Weichen obeys the order." ”

After the two discussed, Chongzhen immediately summoned Cao Huachun and asked him to hand over the waist card of the assistant Jingying Rongzheng to Zhang Bin, and ordered Jinyiwei to pass on the relevant generals from all walks of life in the capital, and passed on the matter of Zhang Bin's businessman assistant Jingying Rongzheng, and Zhang Bin, the deputy commander of the Beijing camp, was officially inaugurated.

Of course, Zhang Bin knew that it was impossible for Huang Taiji to break through the capital, even if he didn't do anything, as soon as the army of the Qin Wang from all walks of life came, Huang Taiji would have to run away.

However, it seems that he still has to do something, after officially taking office, he first ordered Qi Yuan's power army to be stationed in place outside Yongding Gate first, and then took a group of personal guards and went straight to the British mansion.

The British Duke is the governor of Jingying Rongzheng, and his deputy is in office, so he should naturally visit first.
