For Chongzhen to buy tractors and seamless steel pipes, although the big gold tooth is a little confused, but this is not a controlled item, it is sold all over the street, and it doesn't matter if you help a little, so he hurriedly said that there is no problem, he has a few machinery factory owner customers, and he will solve it within a few days on the little thing Chongzhen wants.

Chongzhen left a shopping list for the big gold tooth and left. Chongzhen, who came out, instructed the disguised Jinyi Wei beside him, "Secretly leave someone to monitor this big gold tooth, if he has any other ideas, deal with it directly."

A few days later, Chongzhen saw his goods in the warehouse area of the suburban industrial park, neatly stacked with seamless steel pipes from several warehouses, filled with walk-behind tractors and barrels of diesel fuel in the park compound. There are so many things, Chongzhen called five hundred guards to move them all back in the middle of the night, and the walk-behind tractor was pushed and pulled back by a group of people, no way, no one would drive it here.

On the third day of returning to the palace, the war report from the south came, before Sun Chuanting's support arrived, Wang Zaijin had already organized troops in Nanjing to repel several rebel attacks, and after Sun Chuanting's support arrived, he seized the opportunity to launch a night attack in one fell swoop, breaking the rebels, and now the main force of the rebels has been lost, and the remaining remnants of the defeated army will not become a big disaster.

He Kegang on the Fengyang side personally led 60,000 cavalry, and also jumped the chickens and dogs of the group of rebellious mud legs, for the domestic situation, Chongzhen knows better than anyone else, the army in the south, many years without a battle formation, and no famous general command, want to defeat Nanjing with Wang Zaijin in the town, it is impossible in a short time, with the support of Sun Chuanting, it is not surprising to break the rebels, as for the rebellious mud legs, that group of old, weak, sick and disabled, not to mention the claim of 200,000, It was the elite iron cavalry who claimed to have encountered a million people who had been fighting against the Jurchens all year round led by He Kegang, and the 60,000 cavalry were also easily defeated by chopping melons and vegetables.

It's just that whether it is a peasant rebellion or a rebellion in the south, it is easy to defeat its main force in a frontal battle, and if you want to completely exterminate and pacify it, it will be a big trouble.

It's just that the form of the north is not very optimistic now, Huang Taiji and the Mongols united, drove away hundreds of thousands of Liaodong people, Jurchen savages, Mongolian hostile tribes as cannon fodder, with this group of cannon fodder to consume the city defense materials, the cannon fodder is dead, so he sent troops to wantonly capture and drive, want to use human lives to impact the Songjin defense line set up in the north, and now the front line, the god rocket, the god fire crow, the fire oil canister These weapons to defend the city have been almost used. The defenders of the defense line are okay, they still have some stocks left behind the city wall for emergencies, and they went to support the sailors, but the weapons carried on the ship have long been exhausted by cannon fodder, and without these big killing weapons, the combat capability of the sailors on the other side of the river has been basically abolished, and the role of the current sailors is to use gliders to reconnoiter the battlefield.

The original history of the Ming Dynasty was played to death by Huang Taiji, this side of the Ming Dynasty dispersed the main force of the internal rebellion, and the Huang Taiji came to make trouble, as a last resort, the court had to pull the army that suppressed the rebellion to fight against the Jurchens, well, the Jurchens were blocked, and the group of rebellions that were suppressed in the country rose up again, and then the border army was transferred into the pass to quell the chaos, and as a result, after defeating the main force of the rebels, Huang Taiji came again, so vicious circle, the Ming army fought on two fronts, exhausted, and finally was dragged to death by Huang Taiji.

And now, as soon as the suppression of the rebellion in the country has improved, the unlucky thing of Huang Taiji has come to disgust himself again, forcing himself to transfer troops to reinforce the border pass, and many of the main forces to suppress the rebellion have been transferred back from the border pass.

After receiving the battle report, Chongzhen was a little uneasy, although Qin Liangyu, who is now sitting in the border pass, is a talent, and his combat ability is also worthy of affirmation, but the crazy Huang Taiji is not easy to deal with, think about the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who are loyal to themselves at the border pass, if something happens, then his own losses will be great.

On the morning of the second day, Chongzhen circulated the battle report he received to the ministers.

"Now the border is in an emergency, what are the countermeasures of your Aiqing" Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair, looking down at a group of ministers below, although the court was cleaned by himself once, but there were still a lot of original officials, the current high-ranking officials in the court, according to the information of Jinyiwei, there are a lot of honest and loyal people, and there are also corruption, except for those who promoted Shangshu and Shilang, most of the remaining people are more of the grass on the wall and follow the crowd, this kind of people meet the faint king, they also follow the pretend to be stupid and faint, and meet the king who has made a difference, They can also handle political affairs well, they belong to the indispensable personnel of the court, and they are indispensable for the operation of the imperial court, but they are not important, and they can be replaced at any time.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that now that the main force of the rebels has been defeated, it should be urgently adjusted to quell the chaotic troops and horses to support the border pass" A middle-aged official in the back row of the courtiers stepped out and said his thoughts, this person, Chongzhen has some impressions, belongs to his own diehard, belongs to the kind of stubborn and foolish type who is not afraid of death.

"Then Aiqing, tell me how to deal with the remaining rebel army, as well as the various cities that were burned down by the war" For those foolish and loyal elm heads, Chongzhen also has a headache, this group of people has average ability, but they all have a good reputation, and their influence in the government and the opposition is not small, and it is easy to use, but it is easy to contradict themselves, and it is difficult to deal with him without a formal reason.

For the previous officials, the minister suggested that all the officials should be arrested and investigated, and that the officials could not protect the peace of the people in one term, and that the dereliction of duty caused the people to be miserable, and the rebellions broke out, and all the officials in the rebellious areas, except for those who died in the war, should all be escorted back to Beijing to be tried by the Criminal Department, Yushitai, and Dali Temple in the same case."

"What are the different views of other Aiqing" For this opinion, Chongzhen still agrees, this group of stubborn old things who are not afraid of death like to stand on the moral high ground to criticize others, but the criticized people have nothing to say, Chongzhen is often said to be speechless, he has endured it for so long, this and the group of people finally played a good role at this time, someone carried the black pot for himself, and helped himself stand on the moral high ground, then he can justifiably kill the officials below, and it is time to change.
