The truth contained in this, of course, now the Chongzhen Emperor knows it clearly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was precisely because of this that Emperor Chongzhen would take advantage of the favorable situation at the beginning of the liquidation of the eunuch party and the favorable situation that everyone in the cabinet was in danger, and strongly advocated the abolition of the court push system.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the so-called court push system seemed to be democratic in the court of important ministers, and it seemed reasonable to resort to public opinion in everything, but in fact it was the most cheating system.

This so-called cabinet minister's court push, which seems to appeal to public opinion, is actually an important root cause of the intensification of party disputes in the late Ming Dynasty.

If as an emperor, he can't even decide on the choice of his cabinet ministers, then he will simply hang himself now.

It is also in consideration of the balance between the north and the south and the balance of power in the cabinet and the military aircraft department, so Emperor Chongzhen arranged the ministers in the cabinet and the military aircraft department in this way.

Nowadays, for forces other than the Donglin Party, although the current Emperor Chongzhen has not clearly adopted an attitude of encouragement, he has never suppressed them.

For example, Li Banghua's promotion and use of Jiangxi officials, such as Sun Chengzong's reuse of his old department in the Jiliao period of the superintendent, and Li Guowei's recommendation and appointment of officials from Beizhi.

It even includes Xu Guangqi's recommendation for Western scholars and even Western missionaries.

Emperor Chongzhen saw all this, but he didn't want to suppress or suppress it.

He knew the performance and fate of these people in history, and he was very relieved of them, and he was not worried at all about what these people would do for personal gain.

Even if they do, they can't hide from the Jinyiwei and Dongchang, which are now ubiquitous and pervasive.

In addition, whether these cabinet ministers were cultivated and promoted, whether they were old ministers, fellow villagers or in the same year, the emperor knew better than them what each person was like in history.

Even if they don't recommend appointments to the emperor, now the Chongzhen Emperor himself will find a way to promote and reuse.

Besides, things gather by like, people by groups, these cabinet ministers were originally the plane trees planted by the emperor in advance, and there is nothing to say about seeking benevolence.

Especially before the forces of the Donglin Party have been completely dismantled, it is inevitable to cultivate some forces that are different from the Donglin Party.

This time, too.

In the final analysis, Wang Jiazhen is a native of the Daimyo Mansion of Beizhili.

Li Guowei and Sun Chengzong are both from Baoding Mansion in Beizhili, and naturally have a natural connection with Wang Jiazhen.

Before, when Su Maoxiang went to Nanjing to be the head of the household department, Li Guowei recommended Wang Jiazhen to the emperor to take over the vacant left waiter of the household department vacant by Su Maoxiang, and now there is a political envoy in the north and south who will have more real power in the north and south households, Li Guowei naturally thought of recommending Wang Jiazhen first.

As soon as the first assistant Li Guoyi's words were finished, Sun Chengzong also expressed his attitude, he said: "Wang Jiazhen has been in the household department for a long time, and has been the governor of Gansu for a long time, and he understands the financial and tax affairs of the household department, and also understands the affairs of the border customs, so the minister thinks he is a suitable candidate. ”

After Sun Chengzong finished speaking, Emperor Chongzhen nodded and looked at the remaining cabinet ministers Xu Guangqi and the household secretary Bi Ziyan.

Xu Guangqi looked at Li Guowei and Sun Chengzong, and then said to Emperor Chongzhen: "The minister has no objection. ”

Bi Ziyan then said: "Wang Jiazhen is the right person, and the minister seconded the proposal. ”

Seeing that these people all expressed their support for Wang Jiazhen as the left servant of the household department, and the actual political envoy of the Beijing Household Department, Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said: "Since the Qing and others have the same opinion, then Wang Jiazhen, the left attendant of the household department, will actually lead the political envoy of the Northern Minister." ”

After agreeing with several ministers on the establishment of the North and South Political Envoys and the two North and South Political Envoys, that is, the candidates for the two "Directors of the General Administration of Customs" in the North and the South, Emperor Chongzhen immediately sent a message to Wang Jiazhen, the left attendant of the Household Department, and explained to him the powers and tasks of the Household Department of the Household Envoys, as well as the establishment of the Dengzhou Customs and the taxation of the Border Fortress.

Fortunately, Wang Jiazhen was born as a household servant and served as a local governor on the ruling side, so he knows these issues thoroughly and does not need too many explanations and explanations.

If it is a purely nerdy type of civil official, it is estimated that they may not be able to understand it even if they say it.

In the next few days, Emperor Chongzhen repeatedly summoned Bi Ziyan and Wang Jiazhen to discuss with them the formulation of the regulations of the two political envoys in the north and south, as well as the basic regulations of the five seaport cities of Denglai, Nanzhi, Fujian, Zhejiang, and Guangzhou.

As for what goods can be allowed to go to sea or encouraged to go to sea, and what goods can be allowed to enter the country or encourage imports, Emperor Chongzhen only explained the general principles to these two people, and the rest had to be handed over to the Ministry of Households and the two political envoys in the north and south to refine and formulate.

It was also after this matter was completed that Emperor Chongzhen received a report from Li Banghua from Lu'an Mansion in Shanxi Province to prepare for the establishment of the regulations and send a clear decree to the household departments of the northern and southern capitals and the relevant governors and yamen.

For Li Banghua, Hong Chengchou, Zhang Xiao, Sun Chuanting, these well-known cattle in history, the encirclement and suppression strategy formulated, Emperor Chongzhen of course agreed.

This strategy was originally the result of the implementation of the emperor's own grand strategy, and he certainly had no reason to oppose it.

In addition to transferring back to the Cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department, and asking them to urge the Hubu Cangchang to continue to transfer grain and grass to Taiyuan and Lu'an Mansion through Jingcheng and Fukou respectively, the rest could only wait quietly.

In order to avoid historical mistakes, the Chongzhen Emperor rarely commanded front-line generals thousands of miles away.

Professional things should still be left to professional people to do, in the later life, they are just a material machine from an office, what can they do to remotely command such an encirclement and suppression campaign.

At most, it is just to use the historical knowledge mastered by later generations to give certain reminders strategically, and if it is more, it is to use the advantage of foresight to provide some useful information in advance to the generals in charge of commanding at the front.

However, the situation of thieves sneaking into Shanxi was at least more than a year earlier than the original history.

It is precisely because the time to enter Shanxi is more than a year earlier than in history, so the current strength of these thieves is still relatively weak as a whole, and they do not have the self-confidence of fighting the heavens and the earth in the original history, so after stepping on the ice and crossing the river, they did not dare to rush directly into the Fenshui Valley as in history, turning the whole Shanxi upside down.

Surprisingly, these thieves became very alert, and not only did they not wander along the numerous river valleys between the basins of Shanxi, but on the contrary, they entered the busy mountains of western Shanxi early, as the rebel leaders of later generations did.

This situation is not the historical situation that Emperor Chongzhen knows now, since it has exceeded the historical memory he is familiar with, then even if he comes from the next generation, he can't provide the next move of this group of thieves at the moment.

can be provided to Li Banghua and others for reference, and only some major principles at the strategic level remain.

Therefore, next, whether we can exterminate the thieves who have wandered into Shanxi this time can only depend on the true skills of Li Banghua and others.
