Zhu Hongsan looked at Qian Qianyi with interest, this old guy had just come out of the shadow of Erchen, and he began to be restless. Half a year ago, the queen incident united with the Guangdong faction to make trouble, but I didn't expect that now I would go into battle in person. But it's okay, now the court is divided into two factions, the Guangdong faction and the Huguang faction, the fight is not fierce, and the three-legged thing is standing firmly, plus a Donglin Party is exactly three feet.

"Since Mr. Jiang is from Jiangxi, he has an understanding of the situation in Jiangxi!" Since Jiang Yueguang wants to wade into the troubled waters here, let's see what he says.

Hearing Zhu Hongsan's question, Jiang Yueguang quickly stood up, he originally didn't look down on Zhu Hongsan, but since he took refuge in Zhu Hongsan, he had to look like a monarch and a minister. "Your Majesty, since the minister was persecuted by Ma Shiying and other eunuchs, after leaving the Nanjing officialdom, he returned to his hometown in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province to live in seclusion. A few months ago, I heard that Jin Shenghuan was defeated by His Majesty's new army in Ganzhou, and Zhang Yutian, the governor of Jiangxi in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, was very dissatisfied with Jin Shenghuan, so the minister thought that Jin Shenghuan had a mind anyway. At this time, Brother Mu Zhai's letter to the minister also confirmed this, so the minister went to Jin Shenghuan and talked to him in detail. He and Wang Deren do have the determination to do it anyway, but there are still a little difficulties, so the minister also recommended himself to be the messenger for Jin Shenghuan. ”

"Mr. Jiang originally came from Jin Shenghuan, so please tell me what difficulties he has!"

"Back to Your Majesty, first of all, it is a matter of troops, because Jin Shenghuan's losses in Ganzhou are too great, so he hopes that His Majesty can give him 5,000 new firearms!"

Hearing Jiang Yueguang say this, Zhu Hongsan immediately said: "This is absolutely not good, we don't have enough equipment for the new firecracker, so we can't give it to him at all, besides, he Jin Shenghuan is capricious, what should I do if I don't do anything if I take something?" Don't mention it! ”

In the Qian Mansion just now, Qian Qianyi said that the emperor could not agree to this proposal, but Jiang Yueguang was still a little unwilling. Now when I heard the emperor really say this, I sighed in my heart, it seems that the fire gun is really not good.

"If the fire gun doesn't work, then I would like to ask His Majesty the Emperor to release the prisoners of war who were held in Ganzhou, most of these people are descendants of King Jin and Wang. There are less than 10,000 people in Jiangxi, and they are all old, weak, sick and disabled, which is less than the strength of the Manchu governor. ”

That's a problem, no soldiers are right. Zhu Hongsan said in his heart, I remember that it seems that the Manchu Qing Dynasty had a few big officials at this time anyway, and later generations said that this was the best chance for Nanming to regain half of the country, and now it seems that Jin Shenghuan should be counted as one, and who is the other? Could it be Wang Deren? However, Jin Shenghuan is definitely a good opportunity this time, and if it is well operated, he can take Jiangxi in one fell swoop, and then take Nanjing from both sides, so that the rich land in Jiangnan will be completely his own.

Although Guangdong looks rich on the surface, Zhu Hongsan himself knows that Guangdong is now completely export-oriented economy. The current prosperity is based on the economic plundering of the northern provinces and the South Seas, and this development model cannot last long, and only the development of domestic demand is the king. Originally, there were less than 3 million locals in Guangdong, and it will only be enough for 6 million people to move south in the past few years. Most of the displaced people are abjectly poor and completely unable to stimulate domestic demand. In order to raise the economy to a higher level, the only way to do this is to occupy the more prosperous Nanzhili, Jiangxi, Huguang, and other places, unlike the north, where after more than 10 years of war and turmoil, the population loss is not large, and the population of these places accounts for 60 percent of the country's population, which is enough to tens of millions.

But now Zhu Hongsan's recruits have not been trained, and only the original 50,000 people have combat effectiveness, which is not enough to occupy such a large territory, and Jin Shenghuan's is becoming more and more important anyway at this time.

Zhu Hongsan thought for a while and said: "The soldiers can give him, but they can't give them all, they can only give 30,000!" ”

"Your Majesty, 30,000 people is too little, 30,000 people plus Jin Shenghuan's original 10,000 talents are about the same as the strength of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and they can't form an advantage!"

"Mr. Jiang, you can only give him 30,000 yuan, but you can give him some knives and guns and other weapons, you must know that the weapons made in our Guangdong are sharp and ruthless!"

It's a good idea to give some weapons. Jiang Yueguang wanted to fight for Jin Shenghuan, and said: "Of course, it's good to have weapons, but it's best to match these 30,000 people with armor." ”

It's really fucking Longwangshu, but it's okay, if you want to make people desperate, you have to give some benefits.

"Yes, just give them the previous armor of the Qing army!"

Jiang Yueguang heard the emperor say this, and knew that this was already the best condition, and he didn't feel realistic to ask for a musket.

"The minister Jin Shenghuan has thanked His Majesty, and the minister will go back to Jiangxi, and he must help Jin Shenghuan succeed anyway!"

Zhu Hongsan nodded and said, "Mr. Jiang, the war situation in Jiangxi is in crisis, please take care of your health!" ”

After Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, he said to Qian Qianyi: "Mr. Qian, you are planning to restore Jiang Yueguang as the governor of Huguang and Jiangxi, and concurrently serve as the governor of Jiangxi, and Wang Jin Shenghuan of Nanchang County as the governor of Jiangxi, with a reward of 500,000 taels of silver, let him choose a day to prepare anyway!" ”

Zhu Hongsan has always been generous to himself, if you want someone to take the knife for you, you have to give silver benefits, Jiang Yueguang in front of him is not like a person who likes silver, but these stinky old nine like official positions, and treat such people with a large number of official hats.

Jiang Yueguang knew that he would definitely give an official and a half position when he came to Guangdong, and officials like him who rose up and resumed generally gave some idle errands such as the squire and the imperial history first, but he didn't expect the emperor to be very generous, and he came up to get a supervisor, this is a feudal official from the first grade!

Jiang Yueguang was very grateful to Zhu Hongsan for his kindness, and quickly knelt down to thank Emperor Longen. Zhu Hongsan got up and helped Jiang Yueguang up and said: "Sir, please get up, Mr. is going to Jiangxi for me to go hard, am I still reluctant to hold these official positions?" This is all Mr. Jiang deserves! ”

Up to now, Jiang Yueguang was completely impressed by Zhu Hongsan's personal charm, and secretly vowed in his heart that he would take Jiangxi and Huguang for His Majesty the Emperor.

Only Qian Qianyi on the side disagreed, he deeply knew what kind of person Emperor Zhu Hongsan was, this guy was completely snobbish, if it was good for him, he would naturally be rewarded, and he didn't care about you if it wasn't good. However, Qian Qianyi was still a little impressed by Zhu Hongsan's generosity, and he gave it to an overseer, this Jiang Yueguang was really lucky.

After sealing the official, Jiang Yueguang and Qian Qianyi got up and retired, they had to go to prepare, and the Military Aircraft Department would issue an order to Zhang Jiayu, asking him to select 30,000 people and hand them over to Jiang Yueguang to take away, after all, Jiang Yueguang is now the nominal supreme commander of Jiangxi!

Zhu Hongsan watched the two of them go out, thinking that Jiang Yueguang alone was not sure, and he still needed to push Jin Shenghuan in secret, so that he could not retreat.

Thinking of this, Zhu Hongsan ordered Xiao Huangmen to call Qian Lide, the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

Qian Lide has been very unhappy in the past few months, and the Guangdong incident was beaten by Zhu Hongsan, and he was scolded for Zhu Yu's affairs. Now I was working at the Yamen of Jinyiwei, and when I heard that the emperor had summoned me, I quickly got up and came over.

On the way, Qian Lide hurriedly prepared a hundred taels of silver tickets and stuffed them into Xiao Huangmen's hand, and asked, "This little brother, I don't know what happened to me in the past?" ”

Not long after the little yellow door entered the palace, this is still the most time to accept bribes, plus knowing that the dead fat man in front of him is the big boss of Jinyiwei, he can't afford to offend, so he hurriedly whispered: "Commander Qian, just now Qian Junji brought a person named Jiang Yueguang to see Long live!" ”

Jiang Yueguang? Is it the Jiang Yueguang who was framed by Ma Shiying and resigned and went home? What is he here for? But this has nothing to do with Qian Lide, as long as the emperor doesn't ask about Zhu Yu.

Qian Lide, who was relieved, followed Xiao Huangmen to the emperor's imperial study.

Coming to the door, Qian Lide waited for the little yellow door to go in and report, and after a while, the little yellow door came out and said, "Commander Qian, please come in!" ”

Qian Lide hurriedly bowed his head and entered the imperial study, and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed after entering, shouting long live.

Zhu Hongsan's policy of not kneeling in the court is specifically aimed at scholars, and others do not have this kind of welfare. Jinyiwei and eunuchs are all the emperor's house slaves, and their entire net worth and lives are in the emperor's thoughts, so dare not kneel when they meet? Don't look at Qian Lide's majesty in front of outsiders, but he knows that he has no ability to struggle in front of Zhu Hongsan at all.

The emperor in front of him, Zhu Hongsan, was very clever, so that Jinyiwei and the ministers of the court and the central government were opposed, and all the pickled things were done by Jinyiwei, Ma Mingyuan, Chen Zizhuang and other orthodox scholars and doctors couldn't wait to come up and punch out their anger when they saw it. In the spy system, the emperor reinstated the East Factory and completely restrained his Jinyi Guard, so Qian Lide knew that as long as he lost the emperor's trust, his enemies would immediately pounce, and it would be difficult for him to die at that time.

Qian Lide shuddered a little when he thought of those civil officials who committed crimes fell into his hands, how he treated them, and what happened to the wives and daughters of those criminal officials.

When Qian Lide knelt on the ground and kowtowed, he couldn't help but think of the time when he was a childhood friend with the emperor, when Zhu Hongsan was not the emperor at that time, and he still called him eldest brother, and that time was the best memory.

Zhu Hongsan looked at Qian Lide, who was kneeling below, and beat him a little hard during this time. However, this Qian Lide is also a bit excessive, a few months ago, a county order embezzled the compensation money for the homeless, and Zhu Hongsan was appointed to fill the army in Luzon, Qian Lide actually had the audacity to leave the wife and daughter of the county order to play with it. This incident made those civil officials very angry, and they came to themselves to complain, allowing themselves to kill Qian Lide, and it was not easy for them to keep Qian Lide.

As for the beating of Qian Lide board because of the Guangzhou incident, it was completely to find a reason to repair Qian Lide. Zhu Hongsan is not an emperor who doesn't know anything, he knows that Li Chengdong's wandering to Guangzhou has little to do with Jinyiwei. Today's Guangdong does not have a dense population in later generations, and there are large primeval forests outside the city, and it is easy for Li Chengdong to hide his whereabouts with thousands of people.
