Chapter 815: Consultation (Subscription Requested) (Page 1/1)

Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse heard the cabinet reprimand Zhang Dou in unison, and the tense expression on his face eased a little. opened his mouth and said: "Everyone, Aiqing! Is there a good way to deal with Zhang Dou? ”

"Huh! ......" The ministers were elated when they heard the emperor's words, and they closed their mouths neatly.

Zhu Youxiao's face became more and more ugly, and just when he was about to get impatient, Gu Bingqian stood up.

"Your Majesty! There are two imperatives. First, it takes a certain amount of time to transfer troops to Qinwang, and the time for soldiers and horses from all over the country to be drawn to Beijing is not short, and it is necessary to stabilize Zhang Dou, and it is best to let him stay in Tianjin and not move.

Second, the household needs to raise silver taels. If there is no silver two to appease the soldiers and horses of the kings of Qin, it is easy to cause chaos.

Finally, from now on, martial law is required in Jingshi. Tianjin is too close to Beijing, and according to Wang Yuanrui, the Changxing army is a foot soldier and also has a war horse.

If you are driven straight into the Beijing Division, everything will be regretted too late.

The minister only thought of so much in a hurry, and asked His Majesty to atone for his sins! After Gu Bingqian finished speaking, he looked at the ministers proudly, the first assistant is not in vain, and he can only show his ability at a critical moment.

Zhu Youxiao nodded again and again after listening to Gu Bingqian's words, although Gu Bingqian had such and such shortcomings. But he has been an official for many years, and he still has two critical moments, just turning over the analysis and saying that the head is the Tao.

Second assistant Wei Guangwei saw that Gu Bingqian was appreciated by Emperor Zhu Youxiao, and also took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty! What Master Gu said is so right!

If the soldiers and horses of King Qin are summoned to Beijing, King Qin will make a fuss, which will damage the face of the court and overwhelm the household.

Therefore, the minister thought that to deal with Zhang Dou, a minister, one or two soldiers and horses of King Qinqin in Beijing were enough! After speaking, Wei Guangwei retreated and smiled at Gu Bingqian covertly.

The two looked at each other and stopped talking, and the tacit understanding between the two of them was full. The plan was stated, but the specific details were not said at all.

Even if they fail then, it is not the responsibility of the two of them. Advance can be attacked, retreated, and defended, and make yourself invincible in advance.

The other cabinet scholars were dumbfounded, the two old fellows were too cunning. They have said it all, let the rest of the people say what?

It's only a matter of recommending specific candidates, isn't this an errand that offends people? It's all good to say if you succeed, but what if you fail? Isn't that a responsibility for them?

It's not impossible to fail! The record of the Changxing Army is too dazzling, and in a short period of time, the Jiannu who has no way at all in the imperial court is embarrassed.

Such a Changxing army is even more powerful than Jiannu? Is it something that ordinary generals can deal with? Who would dare to really fight to the death with the Changxing Army?

But if it is not recommended, it will not work, the emperor's eyes have already looked over. The group began to ramble on the details of the refinement, and it didn't take long to discuss a rough idea.

But another question is in front of everyone. Money is not the problem, the problem is that there is no money. The head of the household has already stated in front of him that the household department has no silver.

Even the relief money for this year's Shanxi earthquake was a summer tax paid in advance, and it was really impossible to get a little silver.

In desperation, Zhu Youxiao walked and saw Wei Zhongxian, who had been standing beside him, and Wei Zhongxian saw the emperor's eyes, and his heart was dripping blood.

The money in the inner money was all scraped by him, and every tael was his hard work. For this bit of silver, there were mine supervisors everywhere in the Ming Dynasty, and the eunuchs sent out were all Wei Zhongxian's henchmen.

In order to make more money for the emperor's internal treasury, Wei Zhongxian's people were about to be scolded to death by the literati, and the hats of competing with the people were all firmly buckled on his head.

With the efforts of Wei Zhongxian and a group of eunuchs, the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao, had silver for disaster relief and silver for the soldiers of the Nine Sides.

After Chongzhen Zhu succeeded to the throne, he withdrew various eunuchs sent out, and also abolished the Jinyi guard. Not only was the treasury empty and there was no silver, but even his treasury was empty.

Although he wore patched clothes, his food and clothing were repeatedly reduced, and he diligently reviewed and dealt with national affairs every day, and he was not as tired as his brother carpenter emperor Zhu Youxiao.

This was the result of Chongzhen's trust in the civil minister, and by the time he woke up, it was too late. In the end, he could only hang himself on the coal mountain, accompanied by only a lone eunuch.

When Wei Zhongxian heard the emperor's question, his old face suddenly turned into a bitter gourd, "Your Majesty! There is not much silver in your inner pocket, at most you can support a town of soldiers and horses, no matter how old a slave is! ”

Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse nodded with satisfaction, tens of thousands of troops should deal with 10,000 Changxing troops, and several times the strength should be enough.

Next, they discussed where to transfer troops from, and the white pole soldiers of Sichuan Shizhu were elite, but the road was too far, and Zhang Dou had already entered the Beijing division when he reached Beijing.

The combat effectiveness of the border army in the northwest is also very good, but there have been homeless people there who have been in turmoil, and they have to guard against the sneak attack of the Mongols, so they can't free up manpower at all.

After all, only the soldiers of the Ningning Line were counted. In order to cope with the attacks of the Jurchens, a large amount of silver was spent here every year in taxes.

More than four million taels of silver a year is not a waste of money, in addition to building a large number of forts, but also training a strong cavalry.

This cavalry can be traced back to the Qi Jiguang era, and later evolved into a cavalry force outside the pass. In the end, Sun Chengzhong allocated funds to expand, and there were already more than 50,000 war horses in Yuan Chonghuan's hands.

The total number of people is as many as 110,000 people, and it is one of the few armies in the Ming army that can fight with the Jurchen Eight Banners. In the year of the Apocalypse, when there was a shortage of war horses in the Ming Dynasty, it was almost a cavalry smashed out of silver by the imperial court.

Referring to this cavalry, Emperor Zhu Youxiao's eyes lit up, and tens of thousands of cavalry against 10,000 Changxing troops would win this battle. Their monarchs and ministers only need to think about how to deal with Zhang Dou after the war and how to incorporate the Changxing army.

One by one, the war horses set out from Jingshi and headed for Tianjin Wei and Ningyuan respectively. The entire Beijing division was also nervous, and although the forbidden army was negligent in drilling, there was still no problem standing on the entire Beijing division's city wall.

The original gate of the capital was closed tightly most of the time, and there was only one hour in the morning and evening every day.

The atmosphere in the capital suddenly became tense, and all kinds of rumors flew all over the sky. The dispatch of Jinyi Wei throughout the city could not stop the spread of rumors, and the prices in the capital were rising rapidly.

The price of rice is even more rolling, and the people of Beijing suddenly panicked, they frantically snapped up all the goods such as rice and grain, and the merchants have made a lot of money.

When the rice grain was robbed, a kind of food called potatoes appeared in the Jingshi. Although the taste is not very good, it is cheap. Potatoes, which were once covered in mud and no one cared for, suddenly became a treasure, and people no longer focused on rice grains, which had risen to sky-high prices, but began to buy potatoes.

This kind of food suitable for grain and vegetables was sent to Beijing by the merchants, and it was immediately sold out.
