Chapter 101: The Ghost Menace
Although Wang Chengen left without saying anything, his meaning was already very clear......
Just do it!
We don't know anything anyway.
This kind of thing Chongzhen can't clearly say agree or disagree, everything understands the spirit, Yang Qinglai is the chief director of this big show, but as long as he doesn't smash it, then His Majesty the Emperor will cooperate with his design, as for the smashing of the act, it has nothing to do with Chongzhen.
Leaders are like this!
In this case, Yang Qing has nothing to worry about.
Hoarding military rations is not worth mentioning, just put it in Tianchang, there is the defense area of Xuyi General Gao Jie, and the military rations given to him by the household department were originally transported from the canal to the Huai River, in order to ensure that the Shun army will not be cut off from the Huai River shipping in the south during the war, then it is necessary to set up a military food base in his rear, this base is of course the most suitable for Tianchang, there is no need for Yang Qing to be responsible for this matter, one day Chongzhen suddenly thought of it when he looked at the Jiangbei defense map, he was originally the same as the bald guy, he likes to point fingers on the military map.
And Gao Jie's department is subordinate to Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, and the military dispatch is responsible for Ma Shiying, Chongzhen's cronies.
Chongzhen is clever enough to find loopholes.
Wang Chengen, the chief eunuch of the celebrant of ceremonies, transferred the holy will to Lu Jiude, the eunuch of the Fengyang garrison, who conveyed it to Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang.
No one will be confused.
This is just a normal and reasonable military adjustment at the front, no one will associate more things, in fact, the princes of Nanjing will not care about this kind of trivial matter, the towns along the Huai are just some cannon fodder for them, they give money and food, the latter gives them to ensure that the singing and dancing in the south of the Yangtze River is leveled, but how the latter ensures that it has nothing to do with them, they chant the wind and moon on the Qinhuai River and they will not care about this kind of trivial matter.
This is what Chongzhen is responsible for solving.
And Yang Qing was responsible for conspiring with Gao Yigong......
Xuzhou.
"Why should I trust you?"
Gao Yigong said.
"If my people hit the Yangtze River, and you attack the Huai River from both sides, then won't I be completely annihilated in Huainan?"
He said.
"You still don't believe me?"
Yang Qing said sadly.
"I believe in you, and then let you take a few million taels and leave me some scum?"
Gao Yigong sneered.
It seems that he is still full of resentment about this matter.
"Well, it's not that much, it's just a few hundred thousand taels, didn't you get a bunch of women? I heard that Kong Yinzhi's granddaughter was treated as a concubine by you, and she is a descendant of Confucius, so even if the children she gave birth to you also have the blood of Confucius, you can go back to glorify your ancestors! ”
Yang Qing said.
"Hmph, if you like it, I'll give you one? Why don't you go back and glorify your ancestors? ”
Gao Yigong said.
"There's no need for that!"
Yang Qing said with embarrassment.
However, Gao Yigong's concerns are also normal, such an operation must be at least 50,000 or more, and they must all be Li Zicheng's elite, so that 50,000 people cross the Huai River and go deep alone, in case Chongzhen lays a trap and swallows it all at once, and then takes advantage of the situation to cross north and directly penetrate Yuan Zongdi's flank, then it is possible for Chongzhen's control area to expand to Henan and Shandong, if Chongzhen does not want those sons, the strength of the Ming army can be the northern expedition.
After all, Li Zicheng was attacked on all sides.
In particular, a large part of the army was pinned down on the Hanzhong battlefield and the Guanning line.
And Chongzhen is different.
From Huai'an, the Ming army had 250,000 soldiers on the Huaihe line, and nearly 100,000 on the second line, not including the Beijing camp, the 60,000 troops of the three armies of the Beijing camp, and at least 200,000 of Zuo Liangyu's troops upstream, that is to say, the total number of Ming troops that could be used to attack the north could reach 600,000, of course, the combat effectiveness is another matter. However, the Shun army only has 200,000 troops along the Huai line, and Hebei can also go south with 200,000, that is to say, it can be used to fight against the south is 400,000, and most of the combat effectiveness is actually worrying, and the core that can really fight is no more than 100,000 at most.
It should be said that the two sides are already evenly matched.
Then if the tens of thousands of elites who were deceived to Huainan and then swallowed up, then the situation between the two sides would immediately change, especially the flanks of the entire defense line would be opened.
Of course, more importantly, this kind of good thing is too weird.
This can be described as unbelievable, the Ming Emperor invited his enemies to attack him in order to scare his subjects......
You city dwellers really know how to play!
The old bandits can't keep up with the imagination of this pair of unscrupulous kings!
"Believe it or not!"
Yang Qing said very simply.
"In short, I have drawn out the road, you can go or not, 300,000 stone military rations are stored in the Great Wall of Heaven, you believe in our sincerity, then fight across the Huai River to get it, you don't believe in our sincerity, then I haven't come, where is your courage to run rampant in the world? Wouldn't it be a good life after becoming an official, and the courage of a woman would be sucked away, right? ”
He then said disdainfully.
There is really no guarantee for this kind of thing, and there can be no mutual trust between the two sides, so it can only depend on whether Li Zicheng has the courage to do so.
"I heard that John Tang is bewitching King Qin?"
Yang Qing then said.
Gao Yigong nodded expressionlessly.
Tang Ruowang is indeed bewitching Li Zicheng, to be precise, Li Zicheng is very confused at this time, so Lao Tang and Yawei want to take advantage of the situation to let King Qin into the arms of the Lord.
Li Zicheng obviously doesn't know how to govern the country, he has now completed the fight against local tyrants, basically everything that can be cleaned everywhere has been cleaned, relying on huge wealth he still maintains tax exemption, and agricultural production in various places is gradually beginning to recover. But in terms of governing the country, Li Zicheng still hasn't come up with reasonable things, and he still maintains the Ming Dynasty's set of things, but Li Zicheng doesn't believe in these things, after all, he climbed up from the bottom and knows very well the methods of those corrupt officials.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't collect taxes now.
But what about later?
How should he transform the country, how can he make his empire perfect, how can there be no corrupt officials and corrupt officials encroaching on the fishing people, and local tyrants and inferior gentry knocking on the bones and sucking the marrow?
His men were powerless to help him.
The old bandits under him are not as good as him! After beating the local tyrants, they were all confused, just like the dullness after the excitement disappeared after a happy moment ended, and he didn't trust those civil officials who surrendered, although he still appointed a lot of subordinates, especially the batch of jinshi who were tested last year, many of these people were appointed by him, and there were also some lifters.
But he also knows what these people are.
He can use these people for the time being, but what about after this transition period?
He doesn't know!
The King of Qin, who was squatting on the main hall of the Qin Palace, was confused!
Uh, he likes to squat.
It is said that in the imperial palace in Beijing, he was not comfortable sitting on the throne, but it was more comfortable to squat in front of the throne.
Then John Tang and these missionaries began to take advantage of the situation, they helped the Shun army to make guns and artillery by Li Zicheng's favor, and began to use Yawei to fool Li Zicheng, by the way to introduce him to the European political system, to be precise, they made up the political system, that is, the unity of politics, wanted to trick Li Zicheng into becoming the king of Hongtian, and then establish their earthly heaven kingdom in the East like in Paraguay.
These guys have always liked to do this.
Infiltrating the highest echelons of a country, then gradually controlling everything in the country, and finally becoming the de facto ruler of the country, they were unanimously expelled from almost all countries except Prussia and Orthodox Russia in later Europe. Just like Aramis in the Three Musketeers, in the third part of the Iron Mask, he becomes the president of the Jesuits, planning to replace the King of France with the Iron Mask at the ball of the Chancellor of the Exchequer Fouquet. However, he failed in the end, and escaped from the island under the protection of Potos, and was captured by French warships at sea, and when he showed the ring representing the Jesuit president, the captain of the French warship immediately betrayed the French and sent him directly to Spain, where the Jesuits were still sheltering at the time.
Although this is a novel, this is indeed the Jesuits in Europe at this time.
They are like the Freemasons who control the world in modern legends, but it is difficult to say whether the Freemasons did that, but the Jesuits did it in Europe at this time.
Yang Qing didn't want to be picked by them.
He worked hard to make this Ming Dynasty like this, he can't finally cheapen the Vatican, he has to pull Li Zicheng back, this is actually the main goal he personally came to, he wants to care about Li Zicheng's ideological progress as much as he cares about Chongzhen's ideological progress.
"I want to give King Qin a gift."
Yang Qing said cautiously.
"What gift?"
Gao Yigong asked suspiciously.
"A book, a book he needs most at the moment."
Yang Qing said.
After saying that, he took out a book from his arms and put it on the table in front of him, the book was very thin, it could only be said to be a pamphlet, and on the cover of this pamphlet were six large red regular script characters......
Celestial Dynasty Tianmu system.
Of course, this can't be the original.
This is Yang Qing's magic revision, to put it bluntly, it is the concretization of the public land system he envisioned, and it must be understood that the current Li Zicheng has also become an emperor, there is no essential difference between him and Chongzhen, but because of his background, it is easier to transform. And he now lacks the most set of principles for governing the country, so give this to him, and at the same time let Li Zicheng experiment in the north, if he can succeed in the north, then he can further fool Chongzhen to carry out similar reforms.
At the same time, use it to knock Li Zicheng's heart.
Then began to infiltrate him ideologically, making him gradually move away from Yahweh's call......
"Which side are you?"
Gao Yigong said speechlessly.
"Oops, I'm at a loss for that question too!"
Yang Qing said with some sadness.
Then the figure of Princess Kunxing appeared in front of him.
