Chapter 766: Dealing with the chaos in the Central Plains
There are also differences in the titles of this time, such as Wang Yue, Wang Zhuo, Li Zixiong and Hong Chengchou, the titles of the four people are hereditary, and the rest are all liujue, all of which are not hereditary.
However, it is already an unexpected joy to be knighted, especially Wu Sangui, this earl was completely picked up, after all, in the battle of Songjin, he just followed the Tiance army to pick up leaks.
After the award ceremony, Emperor Chongzhen ordered a banquet to congratulate him.
The royal banquet is said to be extremely luxurious, but Emperor Chongzhen is used to being frugal, and he can't even think about the delicacies of the mountains and seas. However, in recent years, Chongzhen's internal money has become more generous, and the specifications of this banquet are still much stronger than in previous years, but they are still crude in the eyes of others.
Seeing the rough meal, the people of Liaozhen were very surprised by Chongzhen's frugality.
The atmosphere in the field was still relaxed, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said some words of encouragement, all the new nobles were all in response, only some civil officials did not look very good-looking, and they smiled very reluctantly.
The color in front of them, at least they are all earls, according to the etiquette system, the first-class officials have to bow when they see them, everyone puts aside the status and position of the cabinet members, and the dignity is inferior, it is really more popular than the dead.
The people of Liaozhen are most concerned about whether Liao's salary will continue, this time when they entered Beijing, Zu's birthday and Wu Sangui came to explore the wind, this is a major event related to the rise and fall of the Guanning army, although some people in the court have shown their mouths, Liao's salary will not stop, but they are still worried.
Liaojiao, there are too many interest groups involved in it, and one by one strong interest groups exist like the Jin Merchants and the Donglin Party, and those who want to move the interests in the interior don't know how to die. Looking at the cabinet ministers, who has not benefited from the salary? It's just a matter of how much and how little.
Chongzhen knew this, and he was powerless to deal with it, so he talked about the supply of Liao salary during the banquet, and still promised not to interrupt it, which reassured the people of Liao Town.
Wang Yue and the Tiance Army came with snacks before entering the palace, so they tasted the food and wine as soon as they wanted, which was a safety precaution repeatedly emphasized by Huang Bo, Minister of the Political Department, and Gu Xiuquan, Director of the Military Investigation Bureau, and Wang Yue also respected their arrangements.
However, with the lessons of the past and the current scale of the Tiance Army and the starting point city, the imperial court should not make a fool of such an important celebration.
In any case, the Tiance Army is the primary contributor to the destruction of the Qing Dynasty, if something unbearable happens, this is even more repugnant than Yue Fei's Fengbo Pavilion tragedy. Judging from Chongzhen's personality, he should not be more stupid than Song Gaozong.
Necessary precautions still need to be taken, and the purpose of today's military parade is also a reminder.
The Tiance army is a routine precaution, and Emperor Chongzhen did not consider this aspect at all, and the ministers of the court, whether they like Wang Yue or not, have never had an idea in this regard.
The examples of Xue Guoguan and others are there, there were only a few thousand people in the Tiance army back then, and there was only one city on the ground, and it was still uneven. The current Tiance Army, including the security army, is close to 200,000 people, so it is even more uneven, everything must be spoken by strength, and conspiracy cannot solve the fundamental problem.
"Wang Aiqing, the Central Plains bandits are burning with fire, and now that Liaodong has been appeased, if the Tiance Army can free up its hands, can it transfer a group of men and horses from Liaodong back to deal with the chaos in the Central Plains?" Chongzhen finally asked the topic he was most concerned about today.
Wang Yue looked at Zu Dashou, Wu Sangui and others, and then arched his hand and said to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, it is the duty of the Tiance Army to extinguish the bandits in the Central Plains." A few days ago, the Fourth Division of the Tiance Army, which was far away in Heilongjiang, engaged in a battle with the Cossack Expeditionary Force of the Rakshasa Kingdom in the north, which showed that the northern frontier of our dynasty was not peaceful. ”
The Guanning army and the Qin army in the Jiliao region have more than 100,000 troops, and they are all very effective armies, the Manchu Qing Dynasty no longer exists, these armies do not use the Tiance army, and the intention of the imperial court is self-evident.
"How's the battle going on the front?" Chongzhen was surprised: "Could it be that the Rakshasa Kingdom wants to take advantage of the new recovery of Liaodong, and has the intention of peeping?"
For Russia, the Ming Dynasty had limited understanding, and for a long time, because of the isolation of the Mongol tribes and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty had no direct contact with Russia. But with the frequent visits of Europeans, the Ming was not ignorant of Russia.
Wang Yue said: "Our army has completely annihilated the Cossack expeditionary force, through the interrogation of prisoners, it is a military conflict between the Rakshasa people who went to my territory to threshk grass, according to the analysis of the staff of our Tiance Army, it is not ruled out that the Rakshasa country will send troops to our territory again to retaliate." Therefore, the Tiance army will not be able to go south in the short term, but the ministers will strive to send troops to the Central Plains to suppress bandits next year. ”
"The Tiance Army is a strong army in the world, and I believe that the Rakshasa people will definitely come and go, so I will wait for good news." Chongzhen knew from Tang Ruowang and others that Russia's national strength was not weak. And the affairs of Liaodong are complicated, and the border is not calm, Wang Yue's concerns Chongzhen can understand.
What Wang Yue said is true and false, the Cossack expeditionary force invasion is indeed a thing, but Russia's power in the Far East is now quite weak, and the Cossacks are okay to deal with the indigenous tribes, and they are completely inadequate in front of the Tiance army.
The main thing is that Liaodong has just arrived, and it takes time to digest. The Tiance army went south to suppress the bandits, and the time was not ripe now.
The root cause of banditry in the Central Plains is grain, and only when the grain problem is solved will banditry be eradicated and there will be no recurrence. In order to build Liaodong, a large number of immigrants were required, and a large amount of grain was also needed.
The indomitable rebellion of Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and others cannot be said to be useless.
The rogues crisscrossed several provinces, repeatedly fighting with the officers and soldiers, creating more displaced people and destroying the traditional clan forces in these areas. In the future, it will be easy to acquire a large immigrant population or to establish a new order.
Therefore, the Tiance Army not only did not move, but also sold weapons to the peasant army through channels. Through countless wars over the years, the Tiance army has seized a large number of cold weapons, in line with the principle of waste utilization, what chain mail, steel knives, spearheads and the like, whether it is the peasant army or the official army, all of them are sold with tears, cleared and disposed of, and returned a large amount of silver.
Chongzhen didn't want to use the Guan Ning army, in addition to the voice of the vigilant Tiance army in the court, the Guan Ning army was also a typical old soldier, and the Guan Ning army needed a large amount of money to be promoted.
Historically, on the eve of the death of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen tearfully raised donations from the courtiers for the promotion fee of the Guan Ning Army, which shows how difficult it is for the Guan Ning Army to invite.
The Tiance Army is different, the Tiance Army has not asked the court for a penny over the years, and it has solved many crises in the Ming Dynasty, and now even the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been killed, so it really saves a lot of money for the imperial court, so who is not invited to the Tiance Army?
