It would be better for Wang Yue not to take office, and save himself from doing things east and west in Jiangnan, so Cao Huachun felt that Chongzhen would definitely accept his suggestion.

In fact, in order to appease Wang Yue, Chongzhen is also ready to give Wang Yue a promotion, how can he appease this tiger if he doesn't give some sweetness.

It's just that this operation is not simple, Wang Yue just defeated the imperial army and killed so many Ming troops, and the imperial court immediately sealed the official and made a wish, which is not good to say. Chongzhen is an emperor who wants to save face, and he wants to be faceless, but the official position that he can't give is too high, so letting Cao Huachun come this time is also to find out.

Of course, it is better to serve as the governor of Yingtian, Wang Yue is just using a pretext to lay out the business and economy of Jiangnan.

There are also six departments in Nanjing above Nanzhili, as well as the eunuchs guarding Nanjing Town, if Wang Yue wants to play system reform in Nanzhili, he will definitely touch the interests of these local snakes, then he will use guns to open the way. However, Wang Yue is not here at the moment, because there is no one at hand.

The reform of the old system could not be achieved overnight, and he had a fancy to commerce and industry. This was used as an entry point to attract more people who were attached to the starting city, and gradually cultivated all kinds of talents, thus eventually giving birth to a class, that is, the working class.

Wang Yue said to Cao Huachun: "Then there is Chief Lao Cao." He didn't care too much about the official positions of the imperial court, although he was the former military department Langzhong and Shuntian Fucheng, in fact, Wang Yue didn't care much about it.

In the mess in the court, Wang Yue has never had the energy to participate. The affairs of the starting point city and the Tiance army are becoming more and more complicated, the starting point city is a new city, which was established by Wang Yue from nothing, although he is not a diligent person, but many affairs are inseparable from his guidance, who makes him the only modern person in this city? However, the situation is developing in a good direction, and many backbones are growing.

Cao Huachun said with a smile: "The miscellaneous family can still speak well in the emperor, since Lord Wang is the governor of Yingtian, there should be a matching official position in the court to concurrently serve." Lord Wang is currently in the military department, and if he wants to be the governor of Yingtian, he should at least be a squire. ”

"If Lord Xie Baoqing becomes the secretary of the Ministry of War, the vacant position of the squire of the Ministry of War should be taken over by Lord Wang."

In fact, the governors of the late Ming Dynasty were basically fixed, and official positions such as Shangshu and Shilang were titles, and governors became substantive positions. Wang Yue has always been in charge of the military department Langzhong is actually a title, and the soldier Beidao and Shuntianfu are the real positions.

Cao Huachun's recommendation of Wang Yue to serve as the squire of the military department is a real position, and to appease Wang Yue's heart, this official is actually not high. The squire of the military department is from the second rank, and in terms of grade, Wang Yue's promotion speed is still amazing.

Wang Yue asked: "Does the official Shuntianfu Bingbeidao and Shuntianfu need to step down?" ”

Cao Huachun thought for a while and said, "I will suggest to the emperor that these two positions be continued by Lord Wang. ”

It was unorthodox for Wang Yue to continue to hold these two positions, after all, he was about to be appointed governor of Yingtian.

But the starting point city is already Wang Yue's personal territory, and the Tiance army is also his private army. Therefore, Cao Huachun felt that these two positions could only be held by Wang Yue, which could also reflect that the starting point city was still under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and the Tiance army was still the army under the imperial court.

After the autonomy of the starting town, it was already like a feudal town, and one thing that was stronger than other feudal towns was that it would pay a huge amount of taxes to the imperial court every year. The area of the starting point city is already more than one city, and several counties in Suncheonfu have a large amount of land and projects. Especially now that the entire Shuntian Mansion is under the control of the Tiance Army, except for the capital, it seems that the imperial court can only be appointed like this, which is better than giving Wang Yue the title of king.

Wang Yue also understood that it was impossible for Chongzhen to crown himself king at this time.

In history, Li Zicheng soldiers besieged the capital, the capital was already in danger, Li Zicheng set up a seat outside the Changyi Gate, he sent the eunuch Du Xun who surrendered ten days ago to shout to the city, and the other party asked him to go to the city and talk to Chongzhen.

In the end, Du Xun went to see Chongzhen with the eunuch Wang Chengen. After seeing Chongzhen, Du Xun first greeted him, and then conveyed Li Zicheng's meaning: "I want to cut off the northwest area, order the king, and reward the army with one million silver", in addition, Li Zicheng also indicated that after he was sealed, he was "willing to curb the thieves in the court", but he did not follow the edict and did not make a pilgrimage.

Chongzhen didn't jump like thunder after hearing this, but he didn't give a reply after thinking about it for a long time, and in desperation, he had to let Du Xun go out of the city to reply that Li Zicheng hadn't thought about it yet, and he would issue another decree when he thought about it.

It stands to reason that the city of Beijing is already in danger, but Li Zicheng put forward such a request that is not excessive in terms of the current situation, which is completely beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, if Li Zicheng's request is agreed, then not only will Beijing City not fall, but also the Ming Dynasty has a great possibility of sending Li Zicheng to encircle and suppress other forces, so it can get a chance to breathe, at least not immediately.

Chongzhen should have agreed immediately, but he was reluctant to make a decision. And after Du Xun left, he calmed down and made the decision to fight to the death, and in this way, Chongzhen gave up the last chance to keep Daming.

Judging from the fact that Li Zicheng robbed and desperately transported silver to Xi'an after entering Beijing, he really only wanted to be king, which can also be seen that he was short-sighted and unambitious. From this incident, it can also be proved how stubborn Chongzhen is.

Therefore, it is impossible for Wang Yue to put forward too high requirements, that kind of name is not important to him, the starting point city is the fundamental, the court does not come to make trouble, and it is the king to develop and grow with peace of mind. Now that it has obtained the right to mint coinage, it is also a tiger for the economic development of the starting point.

Cao Huachun's visit to the starting point city this time also has the meaning of negotiation, and the situation is much better than Cao Huachun imagined, which can be regarded as an unexpected joy. Now that the conversation is almost over, he asked Wang Yue tentatively: "Lord Wang, your conditions can basically be agreed to by the imperial court, and the Tiance army doesn't need to enter Beijing again, right?" ”

Wang Yue smiled and said: "The capital still has to enter, if the army in the capital does not make hostile moves, our army guarantees that it will not take the initiative to attack." ”

Cao Huachun hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, you don't need it, right?" Now that we've got it done, why bother? ”

Wang Yue shook his head and said: "Since the official joined the office, he has not met with the emperor, and I take this opportunity to have something I want to talk to the emperor face-to-face." ”

For Chongzhen, Wang Yue is still quite curious, wanting to see what kind of person he is. Leading troops into Beijing is also an act of declaring force, and by the way, it deters those who have evil intentions.
