Yang Sichang said: "Your Majesty, six hundred to four hundred, no matter how you look at it, this battle is also evenly divided." ”

Chongzhen smiled tiredly: "That's also very remarkable." ”

Yang Sichang no longer continued to argue with the emperor: "Your Majesty, Hong Chengchou's request for military salaries cannot be ignored, and His Majesty is also asked to set the decision." ”

As soon as he talked about money, a smile that had just appeared on Emperor Chongzhen's face dimmed, he was full of irritability, and his voice became louder: "I want money again, I want money again." I asked the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War said that there was no money; Ask the household department, and the household department is also shouting poverty. Even my Lu Mi Cang, isn't it you Yang Sichang nodded, and moved to Chen Xinjia? You put it bluntly, that is, you want me to send a net nu, and ask me to take out my own money. ”

In the Ming Dynasty, in fact, the total economic volume was many times larger than that of the Yuan Dynasty. In particular, the Jiangnan region, with the great development of the textile industry and the water transportation and logistics industry, has become so prosperous that the people of the previous dynasty could not imagine, and only such a prosperous world is the soil for the germination and development of capitalism.

But the problem is that the unreasonable tax system of the Ming Dynasty, especially the gentry do not have to pay grain and do not have to serve labor, with the further intensification of land annexation, there is a strange appearance in the Ming Dynasty, the country is poor and the people are rich

。 Especially after Chongzhen ascended the throne, he was fooled by the civil officials, and all commercial taxes and mining taxes were exempted, and the state finances were already on the verge of collapse, especially in the case of annual disasters in the north and chaos in the peasant army, the treasury was even more empty.

Take the total amount of more than 5 million taels of silver that the state should have issued to the officials in the middle and late stages of Chongzhen, but in this way, there is still no way to make up enough, so it can only be delayed. For example, some of the money that should be given to the royal family has been owed for five or six years.

The huge number of officials, the huge parasitic groups of the royal family have turned into a huge financial burden for the state.

But even if the treasury is empty like this, once the country needs to use money for something, the officials do not want to open up the source and reduce expenditure, but let the emperor pay out of his own pocket. It's as if this country is the country where he Chongzhen is alone, and it has nothing to do with everyone.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty was famous for his love of money, and the reason why he loved money so much, in the final analysis, was not poverty. For example, he Chongzhen Emperor, every meal is only three flavors, and they are all vegetarian dishes, and the clothes on his body are also very shabby, saving to the point that they have become perverted.

Hearing the emperor's roar, Yang Sichang silently lowered his head.

After a long time, Emperor Chongzhen said quietly: "Since I ascended the throne, I have to wear new clothes in the past few days after Dabao, and for more than ten years, even a decent pavilion has not been built. I am already old, even ordinary people, when they are old, they will return to the forest and spring, and they also know how to ask for land and ask for help, but the country is like this, I can't do it! That's it, that's it, let's send the imperial court's advance expenditure to me next year and send it to the Jinan army! ”

Yang Sichang was sad when he heard what the emperor said, and couldn't help but have red circles in his eyes: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Chongzhen waved his hand: "Go down, give Hong Laoheng's fold an approval, and say that I have squeezed out all the rations, let him fight hard, don't make a mess in Jinan." ”

……

When Yang Sichang retreated, the fatigue on Emperor Chongzhen's face could no longer be concealed. He was an energetic monarch, and the number of words on the folds he read every day added up to at least fifty or sixty thousand words. In the past, even if he was tired, he straightened up, spoke in a loud voice, and tried his best to make a sparkling appearance in his eyes.

But since the Jiannu two-way army in September last year, nearly 100,000 horses broke through the pass, and as soon as the southern invasion of Beijing came, the successive defeats made him a little unable to support it.

In the past six months, to put it mildly, the entire Suncheonfu has become a ranch for Jiannu, and there are enemies everywhere

。 The entire capital of the Ming Dynasty was surrounded and isolated by Jiannu like a flat boat.

The entire imperial court was basically shut down, so the topics revolved around the military, the military, and the military.

But no matter how hard he tried, the situation of the battle inevitably corroded. So far, one overseer has been killed, one celebrant has been killed, and dozens of cities have been lost to the enemy.

Now, Jinan doesn't seem to be able to stand it.

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't imagine what kind of earthquake the world would have once the capital of a province fell.

With a long yawn, Emperor Chongzhen touched his face and found that the skin was so rough that it was not as smooth and firm as a man in the prime of life.

It has been 12 years since he succeeded to the throne, and it seems that the country has never been peaceful. First the slaves, then the peasant thief army, it seems that there has not been a year of quiet. His hard work was also exhausted little by little in this battle after battle.

Wind and rain, a scene of the end of the world, is my Ming Dynasty really erosive to the point of being out of control?

Emperor Chongzhen was stunned, and a chill suddenly appeared in his heart.

He sat there as if he were stunned.

Wang Chengen, the personal eunuch, walked over and said in a low voice: "Long live Lord, you haven't slept for three days, how to withstand it, take care of the dragon's body." ”

Chongzhen was awakened by his words, and he lifted his spirit: "I'm not tired, I'll go to rest after reading two more folds." ”

Wang Chengen said: "Long live Lord, I am not in a hurry, it is not too late to see the excerpt tomorrow." ”

"yes, it's not too late tomorrow. But tomorrow after tomorrow, how many tomorrows? Today's work must be done today. Wang Chengen, you say, if the generals in the world are like Sun Yuan, and the armies in the world are like the Ningxiang army, do I still need to be so sad today? ”

Wang Chengen said: "Long live Lord, the slave maid heard that Sun Yuan's rule of the army was extremely harsh, and the sergeants and soldiers of the army had rules for eating and drinking, and ordinary people couldn't learn it, and they didn't have that kind of prestige." Moreover, the reason why the Ningxiang Army was able to fight was not that it often saw blood on the battlefield. I heard that their fierceness has not allowed Yu Jiannu. ”

Emperor Chongzhen suddenly became interested, and his eyes fell on Sun Yuan's name on the screen: "You say that there are rules for how to eat and be courteous?" ”

Seeing that Chongzhen suddenly came to talk about sex, he knew that Long Live Lord was really depressed these days, and he accompanied him to relieve his boredom, so he smiled and said: "Sun Yuan sometimes does things that are really incredible, such as the army soldiers eat, when other armies eat, when the meal arrives, everyone gathers around and picks up the horse spoon and scoops it."

。 Ningxiang Army is not like this, the troops have to assemble first, then line up and sit down, and then shout a piece of music to compete whose voice is high, which team's voice is loud and suppresses the others, he will eat first. If the sound is small, eat it later. ”

Chongzhen listened interestingly: "And this, what kind of song are they roaring, by the way, my Ming Dynasty seems to have a military song!" ”

Wang Chengen smiled and said, "Long live the lord, or the slave maid will learn before driving." ”

After speaking, he sang: "Our soldiers have strength, hey, our soldiers have strength, they are busy killing the enemy every day, they are busy killing the enemy every day." ”

Chongzhen burst out laughing: "Haha, what kind of song is this, haha!" ”

The other eunuchs also laughed a few times.

Chongzhen's tears burst into laughter: "This Sun Yuan is really a rude and unliterate martial artist, and he can even sing this kind of song." Ahem, don't really say it, when this song is sung, it makes people's bodies seem to suddenly get energized. ”

After speaking, Emperor Chongzhen muttered: "From last year to now, in my army, only Sun Yuan has good news coming, and I want to see this fierce Zhang Fei." Sun Yuan is Lu Xiangsheng's subordinate general, and he has a background in eunuchs and factory guards, so it is understandable that Yang Ge Lao has prejudices against him. However, I think that when Sun Yuan fights with Duoduo, maybe he will actually get a beautiful victory. It's just that Shandong is too far away, and I can't send someone to investigate. ”

Naturally, it is not good to talk about Yang Sichang in front of the emperor, Wang Chengen has always been a steady person, so he said: "Long live Lord, if you want to see Sun Yuan, wait until this battle is over, just summon him to meet him." ”

As soon as the Shandong battle situation was mentioned, the smile on Emperor Chongzhen's face condensed, he sighed, and lowered his head to review the chapter.

At this time, a eunuch rushed in, with a noisy expression on his face, it was the great eunuch Cao Huachun. Seeing that the emperor was sitting behind the imperial case, Cao Huachun raised a book of excerpts in his hand and said loudly: "Long live the lord, long live the lord, the minister was on duty in the Xiyuan of the ceremonial supervisor just now, and he received an excerpt from the General Administration Department and the cabinet, which is the excerpt of Liu Ge, a scholar of the East Pavilion University......"

Chongzhen didn't raise his head, and snorted: "Liu Yuliang and Hong Lao hum are not in harmony, his excerpts, in addition to boasting about his merits in leading the Ningxiang Army, that is, Hong Chengchou's bad words, I am tired of seeing it."

。 What is he counting this time, you celebrant just look at the criticism by yourself, don't bother me. ”

"No, no, long live the lord, this is the excerpt of your old man really wants to be red." Cao Huachun gasped and said in a loud voice: "The excerpt said that the battle situation in Jinan has been completely eroded, and if you let it go, it will only fall in the morning." However, the general system of Hong has been broken by Jiannu, and he does not dare to send a single soldier to relieve the siege of Jinan. Liu Ge Lao said that even if there was no cooperation of soldiers and horses from various towns, he would personally lead the Ningxiang army to fight a decisive battle with the enemy and relieve the siege of Jinan. Even if it doesn't work out, he should die to repay the king, this is the desperate blood book written by him and Sun Yuan......"

"Smack!" With a bang, the mountain of folds on the imperial case was brought down by Emperor Chongzhen's body and scattered to the ground.

Emperor Chongzhen's face was still blue-gray and white, he walked over suddenly, snatched the fold in Cao Huachun's hand, opened it, and read it carefully.

The words on the fold are all written in human blood, and after so many days on the road, they have long been blackened.

"A good Liu Yuliang, a good Sun Yuan, the wind knows the grass, the wind knows the grass." Emperor Chongzhen's eyes flashed with tears.

Wang Chengen also came over to read the excerpts, and suddenly, his tears fell: "There are only a few people in the Ningxiang army, and they are more than two thousand. There are 30,000 people in Yue Tuo's department, plus the young and strong auxiliary soldiers and prisoners, more than 100,000, this time Liu Ge Lao and Sun Taichu are more than lucky! It's a pity, it's a pity! ”

"No, I don't think so." Chongzhen closed the fold. In the Ming Dynasty, he wrote a desperate letter with his own blood and said goodbye to the emperor for the first time.

Loyalty, this is the real loyal minister, lonely minister, and cadre!

There were already tears in front of him, but the blood on the fold was so dazzling, red and bright like a fire burning.

In the past, in Chongzhen's mind, although Sun Yuan was an invincible general, he was suspected of being a remnant of the Wei Party after all. At this moment, it doesn't matter what party it is, what matters is that he, Sun Yuan, is absolutely loyal to me. If it is the party, then he is my Chongzhen party.

Because he was so excited, his chest rose and fell violently: "I have some expectations, perhaps, this battle will have unexpected results!" Didn't Elder Yang Ge say that Sun Yuan's previous victory in the battle of Duoduo was not credible? In this battle, I don't care about the victory, I just look at the result. As long as the siege of Jinan can be resolved, it is true. ”
