"Don't ......"

As soon as Xu Guangqi's voice fell, Zhu Youzhen heard at least three opposing voices.

One is Xiong Mingyu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, the other is Sun Chengzong, a cabinet minister, and the other is Wen Zhenmeng.

Then, a certain imperial historian of the Imperial Procuratorate knelt on the ground, as if he had seized a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and said loudly: "The Imperial History of the Imperial Prefecture of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Prefecture is noble, and Xu Guangqi is alarmist and misleading the country.

Your Majesty, the Dengzhou Rebellion is nothing more than a corner of the trouble, the rebel general Kong Youde is only 800 horsemen, if it is not for Dengzhou City has an internal response, how to capture, Kong Youde's Rebellion is also a corner of the rebellion in the whole of Shandong. However, Lord Xu's frequent transfer of the Beijing camp is a move that shakes the country's foundation, and it has to be punished! ”

"I know!" For these guys who rely on the impeachment of big names to gain a sense of existence and let others know the responsibilities of the imperial history, Zhu Youzhen didn't say much, and waved his hand to let him go down. Then he turned his head to look at Xiong Mingyu: "You are the secretary of the military department, you can say it first." ”

"Your Majesty Xie" Xiong Ming said: "The reason why Kong Youde's department rebelled was because the sergeants had to mutiny. The minister thought that pacification was the first priority, and there were two reasons, one was that the scouts of the Liaodong Tartars had frequently appeared outside the Xuanfu in the past few days, and they were afraid that they would attack, and if they sent troops to Shandong, it was very likely that they would fight on two fronts. If the rebellion in Jingying and Shandong is really transferred, then the last spinning thread of my Ming Dynasty is useless, and the minister is afraid of reproducing the events of Chongzhen's second year. On the other hand, after Kong Youde captured Shandong, he captured Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Dengzhou, but only imprisoned but did not hurt anyone, which seems to have a heart of peace. And the swords and soldiers consumed money and food in vain, and now the treasury is empty and there is no way to continue. Therefore, the minister thought that he should be appeased rather than requisitioned! ”

The anger in Zhu Youzhen's heart because of the Dengzhou Rebellion also dissipated a little, and after his emotions stabilized, he thought left and right, what Xiong Mingyu said was also the truth.

It doesn't matter if the Beijing camp or the border army is transferred, the last line of defense of the Ming Dynasty is far from being built by a battalion in the Beijing camp, in addition to the Beijing camp, there are also three thousand battalions, the Shenji battalion, and the emperor's twelve guards and personal army, as well as the four guard battalions of the imperial horse supervisor Tengxiang!

But as Xiong Mingyu said, the swords and soldiers consume money and food together.

The point is that there is no money!

In the past few years of war, the silver of the household department is not enough, and the inner treasury is almost empty.

Otherwise, it would not be so easy to be picked up by Su Baiyi, and Zhu Youzhen immediately said that he wanted to build the railway, and one of the most important reasons is that the railway can make money. An emperor with money is an emperor, and an emperor without money can't build a house for his wife and children to live in, and he can't even live as a eunuch.

"Does appeasement work?" Zhu Youzhen asked.

"Maybe you can give it a try!" Xiong Mingyu thought for a while and said, "If they don't surrender, it's not too late for the court to suppress them; If Kong Youde surrendered, the minister suggested that the 100,000 Liaodong people stranded in Shandong should be organized into Qi people, and their young and strong people should be enlisted in the army, so that Kong Youde would go to Shaanxi and Jin to fight Gao Yingxiang. What Master Mu said just now is right, the Dengzhou Rebellion is a corner of the problem, the disease of ringworm and scabies is not a big problem, and the land of Shaanxi and Jin is a big problem! ”

It's a great idea!

The balance in Zhu Youzhen's heart had been slightly tilted after Xiong Mingyu finished speaking, but he was well versed in the world and did not rush to express his position, but turned his head to look at Sun Chengzong and said: "Sun Aiqing once supervised Liaodong and is quite proficient in the way of using troops, what does Aiqing think about the Dengzhou Rebellion." ”

Sun Chengzong said one word: "Fight!" ”

Then he added: "Your Majesty, what Xu Ge Lao said is very right, the people of Liaodong have never been treated well in Shandong, and they have long held back their anger in their hearts, although Kong Youde's mutiny is helpless, but Li Jiucheng, who is the leader, is by no means a good type, if he has the intention to bewitch the people, I am afraid that it will be difficult to appease him."

Take 10,000 steps back, even if Kong Youde has the heart to Zhao'an, the imperial court can't have this thought! ”

"Why is that?" Zhu Youzhen asked suspiciously.

Sun Chengzong said: "The way to govern the army lies in being strict, punishing the former and the latter, and setting an example!" If they repeatedly want to be appeased by the imperial court, how to tame the generals of the world. Today, Kong Youde's rebellion can be Zhao'an, and Zhang Youde and Li Youde will not rebel that day? ”

To put it bluntly, let all the generals in the world see that the price of betraying the court is painful.

Otherwise, the cost of rebellion would be even lighter than stealing, and wouldn't the world be in chaos?

Zhu Youzhen thought about it, and it made sense.

So he set his sights on Wen Zhenmeng.

Wen Zhenmeng took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, the minister agrees with the intention of Xu Ge Lao and Lord Sun, and wants to fight!" However, it is not possible to transfer the camp. ”

"Wen Aiqing has a clever plan to teach me?"

"Your Majesty!" Wen Zhenmeng said: "The truth that should be said Xu Ge Lao and Lord Sun have already said, the minister thinks that a thousand troops are easy to get a general is hard to find, the former prince Taibao military department Shangshu Yuan Keli once patrolled Denglai, the prestige in this place is unique, Your Majesty may be able to invite to pacify the rebellion in Dengzhou, the minister believes that once Lord Yuan arrives, the chaos will be solved!" ”

"Wen Aiqing is old enough to seek the country!" Zhu Youzhen praised it, and then there was no more, raised his eyes to look at the ministers, and shouted: "Hubu waits!" ”

Hou Sui came out of the ranks, "Your Majesty, Hou Sui is here!" ”

"What is the money and food needed to conquer Kong Youde in Dengzhou?"

"Your Majesty is embarrassed!" Hou Sui bowed his body and said: "The annual tax revenue of the household department is four million taels, and there is still a gap in the rations of the border army, so naturally I can't afford the cost of this levy and suppression." Last month, the official supervisor reported that the roof of the Huangji Palace was leaking, and the three major halls and the Taimiao Temple were to be renovated. ”

The ancestors have no money to repair the roof when it rains, so don't ask me for silver if you suppress a small Shandong rebellion.

It turns out that form is stronger than people.

No matter how much Zhu Youzhen wanted to conquest, he could only say one sentence when he was so boastful of Wen Zhen Meng Laocheng to seek the country, and when he was on the verge of kicking the door, he could only say one sentence: "The edict ordered the Shandong Governor to follow Wang Daochun and the Shandong Governor Xu Congzhi to appease Kong Youde." ”

The Emperor made the final argument!

No one shouts wise!

It may seem ridiculous that the Ming Empire and a small rebel general are about to reconcile, but that's the form.

No soldiers, no money, you can only pinch your nose and admit it!

What is strict in governing the army and what is to set an example is very reasonable, but it is not feasible!

After Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, he looked at the silent hall and gestured to Wang Chengen with his eyes.

A little eunuch behind Wang Chenen spoke: "If there is something to report, there is nothing to retreat from!" ”

Hou Sui, who was still in the main hall and did not retreat, bowed down and said: "Report to Your Majesty, the minister has something to play!" ”

"Good! Hou Aiqing, please speak......" Zhu Youzhen looked at Hou Sui with no difficulty.

Hou Sui turned his head to Xiong Mingyu: "Lord Xiong, Hou heard that there are two notes from Shandong this morning, one about the Dengzhou mutiny, and the other about the details of the military ships on the Bohai Sea after the water division was occupied by the rebels. ”

"Lord Hou is the secretary of the household department, just take care of your money and food, the Dengzhou mutiny is a matter of the military department, has Lord Hou crossed the line?" Xiong Mingyu snorted coldly, and said faintly: "Besides, why did you only see one piece of music, you shouldn't ask me about this, because that's what the General Administration Department gave me." ”

Xiong Mingyu is not wrong to say so!

Every day, there are countless reports from all over the country, and the general secretary generally only submits what he thinks is important to the cabinet or the relevant six ministries, or directly to the emperor in the main hall; For those things that are obviously not very urgent, just slow it down and send it to the ministries when you are in a good mood.

Zhu Youzhen's eyes fell on Guo Shangbin, the political envoy.

Guo Shangbin had no choice but to go out of the queue and said: "Back to Your Majesty, as Lord Hou said, there are indeed two songs sent by Shandong, and the other is just some commercial paths, so they were not sent to the military department, let alone dare to pay tribute to Your Majesty in front of the main hall, if Your Majesty is interested, the minister will send someone to fetch it." ”

"No need!"

Hou Sui glared at Guo Shangbin angrily, then knelt down in the hall, kowtowed to Zhu Youzhen a few times, and cried with red circles in his eyes: "Your Majesty, Su Baiyi of Guide Mansion, I'm afraid I won't survive!" ”

"Huh?" Zhu Youzhen was slightly stunned, and then said, "Hou Aiqing said slowly." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Hou Sui said: "Shandong Governor Yu Dacheng's note said that the traitor Kong Youde hijacked three lucky ships from the Fujian Navy, robbed a huge ship on the Bohai Sea, and then set fire to the big ship. According to Yu Dacheng, Su, Su, Mr. Su happened to be in that boat. ”

"What" Zhu Youzhen looked at Hou Xun, unconsciously got up from the dragon chair, frowned and said incredulously: "You mean, Kong Youde burned a merchant ship, and then Mr. Su Baiyi Su happened to be on that boat?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"What about Mr. Su?" Zhu Youzhen looked at Hou Sui anxiously.

Hou Sui wiped his tears and said, "It is said that the big ship was burned and the ashes were scattered into the sea, and Mr. Su is afraid that he will be less lucky." ”

"Bang ......"

Zhu Youzhen sat on the chair with a heavy buttocks, his face slightly pale.

Why?

Why did Emperor Taizu finally find a protector for me, and he died so inexplicably?

Su Baiyi is gone, who will govern this mess for me?

Who can build a railway?

Who could build such a car that could run without the need for people, animals, or sails?

Is the heavens going to kill me?

Zhu Youzhen could only barely take a breath on the roof of the main hall, and a kind of powerlessness slowly surged from the depths of his heart!

Thinking of building the railway, he seemed to suddenly understand something, and his eyes fell on the ministers in the main hall, and then fell on Wen Zhenmeng, Min Hongxue, and Liu Zongzhou. Think about the situation just now when a few people inexplicably agreed to build the railway, and I always felt that something was wrong, so it was!

I see!

Su Baiyi is gone, but you have generously agreed to build the railway!

But who can finish the railroad now?

One by one, they are all extremely retainers, and now they agree to Su Baiyi to repair the railway.

Oh, the name is also obtained, and the purpose is also achieved!

Are you happy?

"Luo Yangxing!" Zhu Youzhen's eyes narrowed slightly, and his upper teeth bit his lower lip: "Wang Chengen, pass on Luo's temperament." ”

The commander of the Jinyi Guard is frightening, and he never participates in government discussions, so he does not need to go to court unless there are special circumstances. But Jin Yiwei's accusation is to rely on his own soldiers, so even if he doesn't go to court, Luo Yangxing is not far away.

In less than ten minutes, Luo Yangxing ran to the main hall.

Zhu Youzhen looked at him with a cold face, and said word by word: "Someone told me that Su Baiyi boarded a merchant ship at Tianjin Wei Wharf the night before yesterday, and was attacked and burned clean by three Fu ships of the Fujian Navy Division in the Bohai Sea that night, give you a day to find out whether Su Baiyi got on that ship, and find out the ins and outs of this matter within half a month!" ”
