A few people helped Zhu Cihong plan for a good life, and they didn't care whether the little prince liked it or not.

A few more questions were filled in. For example, whether the power of this news delivery can be trusted, and the violence has not been exposed; Zhang Fuzhen, the current governor of Jiliao, should he also give him a set of Yuan Chonghuan's stories; And most importantly, how much bargain I have the right to act after I go.

Since Chongzhen may die or return to Beijing at any time, Huang Taiji did not delay, and arranged a few Baturu with a less rugged appearance to accompany him, and ordered Ning to finish my departure.

Anyway, if there is any new news and changes, I may be able to know some earlier when I arrive in Mingjing.

Chongzhen in Suzhou naturally didn't know that the Manchus had already taken action, although the news they got was quite unreliable, but who knows if they could find anything if they could find it next, and whether they could deal with it crookedly?

After Hua Xue left, Chongzhen asked Chen Hongmi to hand over posts to Wang Xinyi and a few other scholars who were either dismissed at home or in seclusion by themselves, and asked them to go to the government to talk about it. They were all discussed by Chongzhen and Chen Hongmi, and they were dismissed because of party disputes or direct advice rather than bribery.

There's also an episode in this.

Before Chongzhen left Beijing, Yang Sichang knew Hua Xue's prediction of next year's disaster, and once said that once the disaster was affected next year, Jianyu would inevitably enter the prison. After Chongzhen left Beijing, he always wanted to ask the stranger for advice on the strategy of the imperial captivity. As a result, after seeing Hua Xue's age, Hua Xue didn't brag about her martial arts strategy in front of him, so naturally she wouldn't have this kind of thought, so she wanted to find those generals who had been relieved and returned to the field, and it would be good to have one more person to come up with ideas.

The most famous general at home is of course Sun Chengzong, but Sun Chengzong is a native of Hebei, and he can recruit him after returning to Beijing.

The second is the former military department Shangshu Wang Zaijin. Compared with Sun Chengzong and others, Wang Zaijin was extremely conservative in his use of soldiers. In terms of scenes and effects, he is not as good as Sun Chengzong, and he is not as good as Yuan Chonghuan, who is the best at painting big cakes, so he has not been trusted by Chongzhen. From another point of view, because Wang Zaijin was conservative in his use of soldiers, the consumption of soldiers, horses, grain, grass and weapons and equipment was far less than that of several other people. It is this point that Chongzhen likes the most at this time. After next year, natural disasters will come in an all-round way, and Daming is obviously not enough money, and this time is of course the best way to save money.

Wang Zaijin was dismissed in the second year of Chongzhen and went home. If it weren't for the debate between him and Sun Chengzong about the defense line that impressed Chongzhen deeply, Chongzhen might not be able to think of this person.

At that time, the defense line set up by Wang Zaijin was directly shrunk to Shanhaiguan, and the first line of Shanhaiguan was rebuilt, and the walls were cleared. And Yuan Chonghuan strongly advocated building another line of defense in Ningyuan. Sun Chengzong felt that Wang Zaijin was too conservative and supported Yuan Chonghuan. Yuan Chonghuan was on the front line, and Sun Chengzong and Wang Zaijin had a fierce quarrel over the defense line. In the end, it was because of the two-to-one reason, coupled with Chongzhen's illusions about playing outside the pass and recovering the lost ground, so he began to build the Ningyuan defense line.

Although the Ningyuan defense line is still in the hands of Daming, the investment in it every year makes Chongzhen feel distressed. After all, since Chongzhen ascended the throne, natural disasters have occurred frequently, and the taxes of the Ming Dynasty are stretched.

Every time he thought about the choice at that time, Chongzhen regretted that he did not choose Wang Zaijin's strategy. In the territory from Shanhaiguan to Ningyuan, every inch of land is equivalent to the Ming Dynasty buying a lot of money. Instead of investing money in this piece of defense against chicken ribs, it is better to give a few more relief to the victims, maybe there will be fewer people in the country?

Chongzhen's impression of Wang Zaijin is basically based on his strategy of saving money. I only vaguely remember that Wang Zaijin is not from Suzhou or Henan. If he was from Suzhou, Chongzhen planned to invite him out of the mountain in person, after all, there are really not many generals who can save money like this. After asking Chen Hongmi, Chen Hongmi was sure that Wang Zaijin was not from Suzhou, so he gave up.

Chongzhen couldn't find Wang Zaijin by himself, so he ordered Jinyiwei to invite him out of the mountain. Also invited by the successive governors of Jiliao: Cao Wenheng, a native of Henan who returned home from his dismissal, Fu Zonglong, a native of Yunnan who returned to his hometown, and Ding Kuichu, who was defeated last year and was held accountable for being on the border and still in prison. Now is the time to employ people, who cares how these people used to be? It can only be said that even Ding Kuichu, who is the general of the defeated army, can only expect him to be brave and brainstorming.

In order to keep it secret, Chen Hongmi's recruitment did not pass the news with them in advance, and when he went to return to the garden, Chongzhen played in the name of the children of the clan, and did not visit Wang Xinyi in person in the name of avoiding suspicion to prevent being recognized.

Whether it is dismissal or retreat, as long as you are still living in Suzhou, the government respects each other, do you dare to come? The few people who were handed the post naturally came to the government office honestly.

Chongzhen did not come forward directly, but asked Chen Hongmi to express to several people the intention of the imperial court to reconquer, accurate to everyone, Chongzhen has corresponding arrangements. Chongzhen has not done nothing in Suzhou these days.

While Chen Hongmi was talking to them, Chongzhen was in the inner room listening to their responses.

It is not stupid to scold the court in front of the prefect, and no one will do this. All of them are dedicated to the court and have a heart to be a leader. Even if he can't be reinstated, he is all happy, and he thanked him repeatedly: "The saint is wise!" ”

Chongzhen was naturally relieved, the scholar doctor of the Ming Dynasty, there was really still the Ming in his heart. Go out of the inner room and meet the people.

Those who have small official positions, where do they know Chongzhen?

Even Wang Xinyi, the official to the left servant of the Criminal Department, when he was about to take over as the secretary of the Criminal Department, was dismissed by Chongzhen because he was too straightforward, and it was also a matter of four years from Chongzhen, six years ago.

Chongzhen is twenty-seven this year, and the past six years have been both growth and vicissitudes, and great changes have been great. Wang Xin felt familiar, but he didn't dare to recognize it. Until I saw Wang Chengen on the side, this is Chongzhen's personal eunuch, and he is not in the growth period, so there is not much change, Wang Xinyi still doesn't understand who is in person?

immediately bowed excitedly, but finally came to his senses and did not shout long live in public.

Chen Hongmi only introduced that this is the son of the clan, who came to Suzhou to invite you to go out of the mountain, and will set off with you to return to Beijing tomorrow. You have relatives who want to bring them to the capital, leave a letter and make arrangements, so that they can go to Beijing later, and they will indeed stay in the government tonight.

Those who are a little sluggish only say that the court recruited them secretly, so they can't be divulged. Those who are more dexterous will be suspicious: Where is the reason for the children of the clan to pass on the decree? Even if in order to save face, don't you send a high-ranking Hanlin or internal official? Only those who are particularly delicate will judge the identity of this sect disciple from Wang Xinyi's reaction, but they are only incredulous and dare not declare it.
