Fortunately, I had the foresight to prevent this from happening. The branch presidents of the two capitals and thirteen provinces have a clear will to refuse all attempts to ask for money by virtue of official power.

However, because of this, the governors and governors of at least three provinces and other feudal officials wrote a note, saying that they were short of money, and since there was money in the Ming Construction Bank, they asked the emperor for permission to temporarily embezzle the money. As for when it will be repaid and what collateral will be used, it is basically not written. It means nothing more than the seal of the governor and the governor, right? This situation is the same as the incident that appeared in Jingshi before, that is, Bi Ziyan and they wanted to embezzle bank funds!

In these sections, the other people's movements can be ignored for the time being. The recital of Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of the southwest, cannot be ignored. After all, he is still quelling the rebellion and has a heavy army, if he really has no money and no salary, the consequences may be very serious.

When he received Zhu Xieyuan's recital, Emperor Chongzhen had already learned about the situation. On the southwest side, since the end of Wanli, after years of war, Zhu Xieyuan was transferred to lead the army to quell the rebellion, and then gradually controlled the situation and stabilized the situation in the southwest.

During the Tianqi Dynasty, Zhu Xieyuan asked the court for money many times. However, the Ming court is poor, and basically there is no money, even if the money finally promised, for example, in the third year of the Apocalypse, the one who promised to give 300,000 military salaries finally went to Zhu Xieyuan's hands, in fact, it was only 30,000 taels.

Therefore, Zhu Xieyuan wrote a letter requesting additional taxes in the prefectures and counties under his jurisdiction, and suggested that different levels of taxation could be carried out according to the degree of damage in each county. However, the Emperor of the Apocalypse did not agree to this approach at that time.

So, Zhu Xieyuan proposed another solution, which was to allow him to mint copper coins. For this, the imperial court immediately agreed, and because of this, Zhu Xieyuan had a silver base that could quell the rebellion. But of course, this is not enough, Zhu Xieyuan still has to throttle. After he took control of the situation and seized the initiative, he began to reduce redundant troops to save money.

Obviously, now Zhu Xieyuan should have the idea of asking for money when he sees that there is a new source of money.

When Emperor Chongzhen recalled this, he also understood Zhu Xieyuan's distress a little. The rebellion is to be quelled, but the court does not give money, and there is a feeling that the horses want to run and the horses not to eat grass. But the imperial court really has no money, and the center of gravity of the imperial court is Liaodong, and there is really no money for him.

Nowadays, although there is some money, it is all used as the principal of the bank, the source of the cornucopia, and it must not be misappropriated. How much money does Zhu Xieyuan's side need, whether he is greedy for money, and what is the extent of the situation in the southwest now, these are all unknown. Although someone has been sent to find out the specific details, the single has not been returned, and it is not easy to deal with it.

I am a little worried that the chaos in the southwest will affect the national policy of his feudal vassal kings overseas? Min Hongxue and Tang Wang have already passed, and they should be almost there. The situation over there can't affect their plot against me!

Thinking like this, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly felt that there were still too few people in his chat group, and he needed to add more, so that he should be able to add members to the southwest side, have reliable eyeliner, or be much faster than sending someone from Beijing to understand it.

However, at present, the most critical battle in Liaodong is about to break out, and the achievement points are allocated there, so it is better to wait for now, at least wait for the results of the food war in North Korea. After all, adding people is random, and you may not be able to add the person you want to add.

Thinking so, Emperor Chongzhen made a decision, the southwest side, wait first. As for the Hetao Plain, as long as they can drag the captives in Liaodong, I believe that with the ability of Hong Chengchou and their people, it should be no problem if they only deal with the Mongolian tribes in the west.

He didn't know that Bu Shitu in the west, seeing that winter was coming, had already made him eager to move for the Hetao area, and sent envoys to contact other tribes.

During this period, the main force of the Mongolian steppe was the Oirat Mongols, which were nomadic in the vast steppe north of the Tianshan Mountains, called Western Mongolia; Together with the Khalkha Mongolia (Outer Mongolia) in the central part and the Chahar Mongolia (Inner Mongolia) in the east, it is called the three major tribes of Mongolia.

Of course, at this time, Chahar Mongolia in the east has been annexed by the Ming Dynasty, and only two major of the three major Mongolian ministries are left.

Among them, Weite Mongolia is divided into four divisions, namely the Dzungar Division, the Dulbert Division, and the Heshute and Turghut Divisions. From a legal point of view, the other three tribes of Oirat have been under the orders of the Dzungar tribe, and their leader Baturhun has become the head of the Western Mongolian tribes.

However, this is only on the surface. The four tribes also had frequent and sometimes serious conflicts over pasture and livestock. Among them, the Junggar Department is the most powerful, followed by the Heshute Department.

However, because of religious beliefs, wars often broke out between the Oirat Mongols in the west and the Khalkha Mongols in the center. According to the original history, the Khalkha Chaoketu even had a plan to unite with Lin Dan Khan for religious reasons, but this plan was ruined because Lin Dan Khan died of illness in Qinghai.

In today's plane, because of the butterfly effect, it is naturally impossible to appear, after all, Lin Dan Khan is dead.

On this day, on the grassland far from Baotou, a cavalry army of about 500 men was slowly advancing westward. It can be seen from the flag fluttering in the wind that this is the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty. The man at the head is a "god" word from the banner.

"Big brother, according to Lord Zhongcheng's order, we should patrol back to the small lake in front." Shen Yikui reminded Shen Yiyuan a little in front of him.

Shen Yiyuan naturally knew this, but he frowned and thought about it and said, "The envoy sent by Lord Zhongcheng to the west is estimated to be back soon, let's go forward, maybe we can receive it!" ”

When God heard this, he understood in his heart that the eldest brother wanted to make meritorious contributions. After all, they were all on an equal footing with Gao Yingxiang before. Who knew that now, it is inferior to Li Zicheng and Li Guo, and even became Li Zicheng's subordinates, there must be a gap in this heart, so I want to rise as soon as possible.

The three of them are guerrillas, and their brothers are the generals, as long as they are promoted to two levels, they can be on an equal footing, and the gap is not too bad.

Thinking of this, Shen Yikui still shook his head and vetoed: "Big brother, I understand your thoughts, but Lord Zhongcheng is also newly appointed, and he doesn't have much affection for us who are born as thieves, otherwise he wouldn't have sent us to inspect." Since Lord Zhongcheng ordered us to return to the front, let's go to the front and return, and don't make trouble! ”
