Chapter 51: Eating for All
I only heard a wailing voice among the ministers, and then it became a large wailing sound one after another!
Chongzhen was depressed, alas, what are you crying about, as if you didn't surrender half a year ago!
"Cry what you cry, howl what you howl! 400,000 people surrendered to 200,000 people, just because this group of rebellious ministers and thieves still wants to clear the king's side, and there is no shame in losing people! Chongzhen yelled at the wailing ministers!
When the ministers heard that the emperor was angry, they all stopped wailing.
That's right, why are you crying, Nanzhili Zhejiang has already reversed, and said that you want to clear the monarch's side! What does it mean for me to wail for these two anti-kings?
Who was the first to wail and bring the rhythm to it! Stand up for me, I promise to you!
"I said three days ago that since the Qing army entered the customs for a month, it has not directly attacked Beijing, so I doubt that the Qing army will bypass Beijing and attack the southeast of Shandong and Zhejiang, and sure enough, I guessed correctly! 200,000 Qing demons dare to go all the way to attack Nanzhili Zhejiang, which shows that Qing demons really know everything about me! ”
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?" A minister asked in trepidation.
Chongzhen looked at the ministers outside the hall and said, "The eyeliner of the Qing demon is all over the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty has a traitor!" Maybe there are demon spies among you! ”
Yes! Will the Qing Demon have so many meticulous works? Do we have a demonic workmanship among us? Ministers, you look at me, I look at you.
"Can't you see? Why didn't the Qing army attack the embattled Beijing, but made a detour to attack Nanzhili Zhejiang, which had plenty of grain and grass and many generals? The Qing Demon knew that Li Zicheng was attacking Beijing, the Qing Demon knew that Zhu Yousong and Zhu Changshu were not enough to succeed, and the Qing Demon knew that Nanming had many contradictions in his hands and powerful ministers, and the Qing Demon knew that Yangzhou was empty, so he rushed to Yangzhou! ”
The ministers were silent, yes, it stands to reason that after Wu Sangui surrendered, Beijing was close at hand, the door was wide open, and the Qing army should attack Beijing! The Qing army defeated Nanzhili Zhejiang so easily, and it is hard to believe that there is no detailed internal response!
"I once discovered that the eight great Jin merchants colluded with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so I immediately ordered Jinyi Wei to severely punish the eight great profiteers, but the Manchu Qing Dynasty can buy these eight profiteers, and they can also buy more profiteers and traitors!"
In history, why did the Qing army not stand firm after entering the customs, and dared to fight on three sides with an army of 200,000 to attack Nanming, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong?
Because Dolgon has planted eyeliner everywhere in Daming and knows everything about Daming. Zuo Liangyu attacked Nanjing, Ma Shiying transferred heavy troops to defend, leaving Shi Kefa, the secretary of the military department, a bare-pole commander stationed in Yangzhou! Isn't Dolgon afraid of the national disaster, and at present, Zuo Liangyu will shake hands with Nanjing and make peace to resist foreign enemies together? Dolgon knew that there was only one Shi Kefa in the Southern Ming Dynasty who was threatening, and the four generals of the four towns in Jiangbei had exchanged arms many times, and it was because Shi Kefa mediated in the middle that the four accepted the appointment and transfer of Nanjing, so they went straight to Yangzhou, and the purpose was Shi Kefa! As long as Shi Kefa dies, the other four and Zuo Liangyu can break through one by one!
"The Qing Demon has already laid down Nanzhili Zhejiang, and the next target is Beijing!"
When the ministers heard the emperor say this, they all turned their heads and ears into a commotion, yes, the Qing demon defeated Nanzhili Zhejiang, so next, it must be Beijing!
"Do you have any suggestions from the ministers?" Chongzhen wanted to hear if any of the ministers had high opinions.
"Your Majesty, Nanming rebelled, just because Wei Zaode's Daming Bao and Juntian hurt the interests of the ministers, and I implore the emperor to dismiss Wei Zaode, cancel the Juntian policy, and reward the generals with heavy troops, and the monarch and the ministers can retreat from the enemy with one heart."
When Chongzhen heard this, he was furious!
"Bold! When I first summoned the world's soldiers and horses, those chaotic ministers and thieves came? Is it because I didn't have a reward? Don't have any other suggestions? ”
I originally wanted to persuade the emperor's ministers to see that they were angry, so they didn't dare to speak!
Song Xiance waited for a long time and saw that there was no minister to speak, so he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, there are 200,000 Qing demons, and 400,000 people surrendered in Nanming, a total of 600,000 people, and our army has 100,000 Tianziwei, 30,000 people in Jingying, and 130,000 soldiers in Li Zicheng's Guishun, our army has a total of 260,000 people. But after the Qing Demon obtained the rich land of Nanzhili Zhejiang, there was plenty of grain and grass, and if we fought a protracted war, I was afraid that our army would not have enough food and grass! The Ministry of Engineering should be urgently ordered to make more Molotov cocktails, so that our army can quickly retreat from the enemy! ”
When the ministers heard this, they all nodded and said yes!
Chongzhen saw that he had no other suggestions, so he said
"Although the four rebel thieves and Zuo Mengeng in the four towns of Jiangbei all surrendered to the Manchu Qing, they just wanted to preserve their strength, and they would definitely not accept the Qing Demon's dispatch and attack Beijing, and the Qing Demon was afraid that Nanzhili Zhejiang would be unstable, and they would also let them stay in Nanzhili Zhejiang. As long as we can win a small victory, the Qing Demon will be afraid of the rebellion of Nanzhili Zhejiang and will definitely withdraw the army. Moreover, the Qing Demon in Nanzhili Zhejiang has already grabbed enough, and the Qing Demon has also returned to the customs after entering the customs for the fourth time. Don't plan to surrender at all, the Qing demon is coming, and I will definitely resist! If any of you come up with something to do, if I lose, the Qing demon will capture Beijing, and the city will inevitably be slaughtered, and none of you will be able to escape! But I tell you, if I can defeat Li Zicheng with less and more, I will definitely defeat the Qing Demon! ”
Hearing what the emperor said, the ministers also have a little confidence, Nanzhili Zhejiang is so rich, and the Qing demon has robbed enough! Also, the incendiary bottle newly invented by the emperor is very powerful, listen to the emperor, there is a chance of winning!
"Your Majesty, how do we prepare for war next?" Ni Yuanlu is Ni Yuanlu, and he is very excited to know that there is a battle to be fought!
"My newly promulgated military system regulations, everyone is a soldier in wartime, and the Qing Demon is just here to verify and verify my military system!"
Chongzhen thought, it just so happens that the current Tianziwei is my soldiers, and the soldiers who surrendered Li Zicheng there are also poor people, as long as there is a war, the people in the city will also starve, and the people will support my order. And those rich people who refuse to donate food will starve just as much! And I found that I cooked and ate it privately, and there was no forgiveness for killing! The big officials and rich merchants in the city will have to donate their money and food when the time comes!
As for wanting to rebel, the military power is in my hands, I have the Jinyi Guard, I have the Tianzi Guard, I also have the militia, my policy is that everyone is a soldier, and it is just right to practice and drill!
Don't you have 200,000 Qing troops? I now have 200,000 regular troops, and 500,000 militiamen, and you can let a ten-year-old fight a war, and so can I!
"The household department listens to the order, all the big and small officials and rich households in the city dismiss all the servants in the family, donate all the gold, silver and grain, and after the household department receives the grain, they will unify the stove, and the whole people will eat together and eat a big pot of rice!"
"Your Majesty, isn't this too child's play, the whole people eat together, I'm afraid it will arouse the anger of the people!"
"Stir up public outrage? Who are the people? The first to starve after a war are the people, and the people will protest? Look at the protest is you big officials who have food at home! Chongzhen looked at the official who took advantage of the people's anger to talk about things, and then said, "From tomorrow, the imperial diet will also be under the management of the household department, including me and the queen, and I will also eat with the people of the city!" ”
When the ministers heard this, they knew that the emperor must implement his wartime policy, and the emperor and queen were so noble that they were going to eat with the people, how old and noble are you, and how noble are you, are you more noble than the emperor and queen?
"Yes!"
"The Criminal Department received the order: The Criminal Department will strictly investigate, and those who cook without permission will be killed; Those who hide food will be killed! Those who commit adultery and criminals will be killed! ”
"Your Majesty, what if the emperor's relatives and important ministers of the court violate it?"
"No mercy!"
