Now the internal official documents of the Ming court also use telegraphs to transmit with the times, so it is quite convenient.

Lu Xiangsheng's twist and turn was the first to report the good news, the puppet emperor Dolgon, who had just ascended the throne for two days, was taken by the Horqin Department of the Outer Domain, Mongolia, and dedicated to the Tiance Army, and the war against the Qing Dynasty entered the final stage.

The next highlight was Wang Yue's attitude towards the Liaodong issue, and Lu Xiangsheng reported in detail the details of the conversation with Wang Yue, and reported to the imperial court for a decision on Wang Yue's request.

"Ridiculous, ridiculous, Liaodong really needs relief when it encounters war, Wang Sihua opens his mouth to be 10,000 taels, it's just whimsical!" Huang Shijun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, exclaimed.

All the ministers were stunned by the number mentioned by Wang Yue.

Ni Yuanlu, the head of the household, smiled more ugly than crying: "Even if the court is sold, the old minister can't make up this number." It's only 30 million taels of military spending, and the imperial court can't pay it back for ten years. ”

"Hehehe!" Tian Weijia, the secretary of the ministry, sneered for a while: "Wang Sihua, this wolf is ambitious, and he wants to take Liaodong as his own, so he will do everything to make it difficult for the imperial court. ”

Chen Xinjia, the imperial history of Zuodu, stood up and said: "Lord Tian is serious, the Tiance army is a loyal uncle who personally bears the salary and armaments, and has made a miraculous contribution to the pacification of the imperial court, and the military expenditure is bound to be huge, of course, this expenditure must find a source, otherwise the Tiance army will be difficult to maintain." ”

Chen Xinjia turned his head and asked Ni Yuanlu again: "Lord Ni, according to this official's understanding, the puppet emperor Huang Taiji had frantically expanded his army before the war, and the number of troops reached an unprecedented 500,000 people, but now he has been annihilated or captured by the Tiance army.

For a war of this scale, counting the other consumption of the Tiance Army, is there no basis for the military expenditure of 30 million taels? You must know that the imperial court bears more than 6 million taels of salaries every year, so this is only the total amount of salaries in five years. Want Yuan Manzi to say that he had been in Pingliao for five years, but had he done it? But the Tiance Army did it, shouldn't the military expenditure of 30 million taels be? ”

Chen Xinjia, as the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the leader of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, is already Wang Yue's hardcore internal response. In addition to the handle falling into the hands of Wang Yue, after years of observation, Wang Yue's power has become stronger and stronger, the foundation has been deep, and the tree is difficult to fall. And this year, Wang Yue revealed his tone to him again, preparing to operate him into the cabinet.

"This ......!" Chen Xinjia talked eloquently, and Ni Yuanlu was speechless, in fact, if you calculate carefully, Wang Yue's military expenditure of 3,000 taels is both reasonable and reasonable.

When Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he arched his hand to Chongzhen and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a strategy that can solve the problem of 30 million taels of military spending." ”

"Oh?" Chongzhen, who was full of sadness, lifted his spirits and asked, "Zhou Aiqing, please speak." ”

Zhou Yanru said slowly: "Now that the Eastern Captives have been destroyed and the puppet Qing Dynasty no longer exists, then the minister suggested that the Liao salary should be stopped, and the annual six million taels should be repaid in installments for the military expenses of the Tiance Army, for a period of five years, which can solve the problems of the imperial court." If Uncle Zhongzhen could understand the difficulties of the imperial court, then the 10,000 taels would only take eighteen years to pay off. ”

As soon as his words fell, there was a shout in the court.

"Liaoyu can't be stopped, absolutely can't be stopped."

"Liao's salary has stopped, what should Guan Ningjun do? Do you want to disband the Guanning Army? ”

"The Tiance Army must be guarded against, and the Guanning Army cannot be dismantled!"

"Zhou Yanru misled the country, please kill the Zhou thief!"

"Ministers, please kill the thief!"

“……！”

The ministers gossiped, just one meaning, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is gone, but Liaoyu can't stop, whoever dares to stop will play with you, and even shouted out the words of asking to kill Zhou Yanru.

Liaojiao, also known as the three major salaries, is a separate tax item levied in addition to the field endowment, which is mainly used for military expenses for the use of troops outside the customs.

The collection and distribution of Liao Salary passed through layers of transmission, and only about 3 million taels reached the hands of Guan Ning Army, so Liao Salary supported a large number of court officials, thus creating a whole chain of interests, which was closely related to the interests of many officials in the court. Blocking people's money is like killing parents, although Zhou Yanru is the first assistant, but he dares to propose to stop Liao's salary, and it is not wrong to kill him.

Zhou Yanru was startled by the menacing posture of the court, and he proposed to stop the salary, which was not entirely out of public interest. When he first became the first assistant, Zhou Yanru was always suppressed by Wen Tiren, and after a few years of resignation, he re-entered the cabinet and returned to the throne of the first assistant, and the income of the Liao salary did not match the status of the first assistant, so he simply proposed to stop the Liao salary and muddy the water, no one should think about it, but he didn't expect such a big response.

"Silence, silence!" Seeing that Chongzhen's face was not good-looking, Wang Chengen shouted loudly.

The voices in the court gradually subsided, and all the ministers looked at Chongzhen, many of them were still eager to try, if Chongzhen also agreed to stop the salary, they didn't mind desperately admonishing them.

Chongzhen looked at Zhou Yanru meaningfully, and then said to the ministers: "I believe that it is not appropriate to suspend the payment of Liao salary for the time being, and the Guanning army must be maintained. So how to solve the problem of Liaodong, how to solve the requirements mentioned by Uncle Zhongzhen, can you have a good plan? ”

What is the problem of Liaojiao, Chongzhen also knows in his heart, from the bottom of his heart, he also hopes to stop Liaoyu and use the money to form a new army. However, Liaoyu is like changing the sea from Caoyun, and it affects the whole body, and Chongzhen has not yet had the courage to make such a big reform.

For example, today's strategy army is outside the imperial court, and the strength of the Tiance army has been proved again in the war to destroy the Qing Dynasty, in addition to the Tiance army, the most effective fighting force in the imperial court is the new army, the Guanning army and the Qin army. Once the Liaoning army is stopped, even if the Guanning army does not mutiny, if someone in the DPRK and China provokes it, it will be difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents, and Chongzhen cannot take this risk.

Chen Xinjia bowed to Chongzhen and said: "Your Majesty, Liaodong has been war-torn and sparsely populated, which is really a chicken rib for the imperial court. The minister asserted that if Liaodong was governed by the imperial court, there would be only input and no output within ten years, which would be a big burden. Therefore, the minister suggested that it was better for Zhongzhongbo to concurrently serve as the governor of Liaodong, and all affairs in Liaodong would be in charge of him. You must know that the people of Liaodong need a large amount of silver taels to give relief and restore the people's livelihood, and Zhongzhenbo is the governor of Liaodong, which is the best of both worlds for the imperial court. ”

"Chen Yushi's words, the old minister dare not agree!" Chen Yan, a scholar of Dongge University and a cabinet minister, sneered: "In this way, isn't it necessary to hand over all Liaodong to that Wang Sihua?" Now that the Eastern Captives have been destroyed, what the imperial court should do is to control Liaodong, instead of raising tigers again and repeating the mistakes of the past. ”

"No, no!" Fan Jingwen, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, smiled and walked out of the class.
