Qiu Yuanyi saw the appearance of the guards, and because of his heart, he also had a smile on his face.

The royal front of the class is Liu Wenbing, who is a nobleman and a royal housekeeper, but he fled to Nanjing after a catastrophe. Besides, people are middle-aged, and they are also very stable, and it is just a trivial matter to lead the class to introduce them, which can be regarded as a little extra effort by the ministers who are often in front of the emperor, but Liu Wenbing is also doing it with extra care.

At this time, he had to urge with a smile, and said to Qiu Yuan: "Lord Qiu, please, the emperor has been waiting for a long time." ”

"Oh, yes!" As soon as Qiu Yuan was reminded by him, he remembered that he had been summoned suddenly, and his fortune and misfortune were undecided, so he didn't care about the guards who threw his eyes anymore, and hurriedly followed Liu Wenbing into the palace.

The weather is very cold, Liu Wenbing and Qiu Yuanyi are both considered martial artists, they don't wear much, they are all military attaché robes, although Liu Wencan is a young mansion, the eunuchs and the royal are under his control, but when he was in Beijing, he was famous for practicing martial arts, and his body was strong, and he did not leave the bow and horse behind, and he was safe and sound when he entered the cold and bone-chilling hall, and there was nothing uncomfortable.

When he arrived at the throne, he motioned for Qiu Yuanyi to kneel, but he just bowed down, and said loudly: "The minister is ordered, take the commander of the Beijing camp to train the chief soldier Qiu Yuanyi to meet him." ”

"Okay, let's call Qiu Yuan to come along."

"Yes, yes!"

Liu Wenbing agreed, then turned around and motioned for Qiu Yuan to come together, and then stood aside by himself, quietly waiting for the end of the court meeting.

"I haven't seen you Qiu Yuanyi once or twice," Chongzhen's voice on the throne was fluctuating, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, and it was very wrong, but the tone was still happy: "Such a formal summons, I'm afraid it's the first time." ”

"Yes, this is the first time that the minister has been summoned to meet you!"

Qiu Yuanyi hurriedly raised his head to answer, and when he saw it, he was also guilty, and then turned his head angrily and glared at Liu Wenbing.

The emperor was wearing a shabby dragon robe, about what he wore when he fled, it was early spring, but it was not as cold as it is now, and the dragon robe was not the thickest kind, he was wearing such a body now, and he was sitting on a tall throne, and there was nothing to keep out the cold around, the palace was high, the cold wind was swishing through, Chongzhen's face was frozen blue and white, no wonder the tone was wrong, it turned out to be frozen.

The king of a country is so frugal that even a hundred households are afraid, Qiu Yuanyi was moved, but he was calm, no matter how good he was, the sentiment on his face did not change much.

was stared at by Qiu Yuanyi like this, but Liu Wenbing felt very aggrieved: He, the Shaofu, said that he was in charge of the eunuchs and the royal expenses, but the Shaofu now allocates four thousand taels of silver a month!

What is enough for such a small amount of money?

There are still hundreds of people in the palace, small tinkering also requires money, food and clothing need money, when I was in Beijing before, there are still many channels to make up for money, such as charcoal is tribute, rice is tribute, these don't need money, now all the tribute is exempt, last time there was a feudal official to pay tribute to the local products, said that it was worthless things, that is, I knew that Nanjing was difficult to supply special tribute to the emperor and queen...... The result?

Quickly refute it!

There is no tribute, and there is no tradition of the big eunuch digging out the wallet for food, it is to rely on these thousands of taels of silver to move, if it were not for the tens of thousands of eunuchs and palace maids in Beijing City who were all lost, only these hundreds of people followed, and there was no eunuch with power, otherwise just the eunuch made trouble, and Liu Wenbing, the young mansion, would have to be torn apart.

The emperor's self-suffering is nothing more than re-inviting people's hearts, and of course it also has its practical effect.

The officials of the outer dynasty repaired the yamen, but the inner dynasty did not repair, the officials had fine clothes and jade food, and they had to raise their salaries, and the emperor and the two queens brought the supply of the prince and princess to the inner prison palace maids to maintain such a large court, and the result was only a few thousand taels of silver a month.

In this way, the image of the emperor has also been compensated for to some extent...... Of course, it is inevitable to be guilty, Qiu Yuanyi, a military man, does not understand the truth, Liu Wenbing thinks about it, and that little grievance disappears.

The two courtiers had so many stories in their eyes, but Chongzhen, who was high up, didn't know it, although he was cold, his heart was hot, looking at Qiu Yuanyi, he asked the young general quite eagerly: "Qiu Yuanyi, do you know the prince's good news?" ”

"The minister knows, the minister congratulates the emperor, congratulates the prince, and congratulates Daming!"

With such a big victory, how could Qiu Yuanyi, the admiral, not know? Chongzhen's words were just an introduction, and after seeing Qiu Yuan's answer, he hurriedly said: "What do you think of the current situation?" ”

It's a big topic, but it's always in the form of a successful battle.

Qiu Yuan thought about it for a while, and then replied loudly: "The minister thinks that the current situation is very good. ”

"How?"

"The crown prince understands that Shandong, along with Dezhou and Linqing, is already in hand. Next, it is just a line of soldiers on the thin plains and Cangzhou, threatening Tianjin or Beijing from several ways. This is all the way, where Henan, the deputy chief minister Wang Yuan is also very easy to play, and the prince Su of Dongyu has lost in a row, and he no longer dares to face the sharp edge of my Ming Wangshi. Since the Wanli period of Shenzong, the king and the slave have been at war, and there has been no such record. Next, the minister already knew that the prince was gathering and training a new army, and the army was set, the infantry and cavalry artillery converged, and they entered Henan, and when Henan and Tongguan were in hand, the Beijing division would be decided without a fight. This is the story of Taizu's annihilation, and the emperor should also know it. ”

"How about Li Zicheng, does he just sit idly by?"

"Li Yi is now fighting fiercely with Dongyu in northern Shaanxi, and the minister does not know the specific situation. However, it is expected that with Li Bu's hundreds of thousands of slaves riding nearly 100,000, it will have to fight for a long time, and it will be extremely difficult for either side to win easily. Therefore, when spring and summer begin next year, it will be a good opportunity for my Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Why wait until then?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's new army has been trained, and the garrison battalions and standard battalions of the governor, Fu and town have been trained. Don't worry about it, you can go on the Northern Expedition. ”

"Now that the situation is very good, what does it mean to have worries?"

"There are still 60,000 elites with Duoduo rate, and they are eyeing each other, this bunu can't ride, and my Wang Shi wants to go north, it's difficult."

"Duoduo cloth, Manchuria will not exceed 20,000, the rest is Mongolian and other cloth, and there are many people in Liaodong. I thought, with Zhang Tianfu, Zhang Tianlu, Huang Fei, Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo, the chief military officers stationed in Sizhou, Zhubu gathered 100,000 cavalry, from Sizhou into Henan, and Wang Yuan and other elite cavalry echoed each other, the camera captured Luoyang, Xuchang, Guide, Shangqiu and other state capitals, and after its success, Qing with 60,000 Beijing battalion from Nanjing north to Henan, at that time, there were 200,000 soldiers and horses in Henan, enough to be a slave to ride 60,000? ”

Although it was a question, Chongzhen at this time no longer had the hesitant posture just now, but was enthusiastic and excited.

The emperor's face turned red in an instant, and when he thought about the situation of 200,000 troops entering Henan and the Central Plains competing for victory, his hands were also tightly clenched, and his expression was nervous, just waiting for Qiu Yuanyi's answer.

The emperor's eagerness, as well as the cause and effect, Qiu Yuanyi immediately understood.

The news of the great victory came, coupled with the previous victory of the Pingyu Army in Henan, coupled with the prosperity of the Qingjiang area, and the reform of the prince was very successful, and the whole country was already following the steps of the prince.

The courtiers and the emperor were already worried about it, but now as soon as the news of the victory came, everyone, including the emperor and the courtiers, was anxious and anxious to get a piece of the pie.

"What's this called......"

The young Governor Zuodu and the Admiral of Jingying only felt very tired in their hearts, and for a while, they didn't know what to say.

Dongyu is really so easy to fight, he has become a sick cat, and everyone can bully him?

What 200,000 troops? Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo each have 30,000 soldiers, Huang Bu is better, there are more than 10,000 main cloth teams that can fight, Liu Liangzuo, this straw bag has a maximum of 500 family members and personal soldiers can be counted as soldiers, and the other cloth teams are all mud, and they can be stepped down with a rush of water.

Huang Fei is an old qualification, when he was the commander-in-chief of Denglai, Qiu Yuan was not a guerrilla attack in a row, but this is a famous old slippery head, and he can't be relied on at all.

As for the Zhang brothers, the chief military officer Wang who was transferred from Zhejiang, they are all a group of goods, they can't fight, and they are experts in internal coaxing.

These 200,000 troops were transferred to Henan, and even the 130,000 troops in Songshan were far inferior.

Wang Pu of Datong is a bastard, and he led the cloth to flee first, but the bad guys beheaded the Dongyu and fought a few small victories, and the smell of fleeing first was wrong, and the escape was really fucking timely.

Like these general soldiers this time, I am afraid that they don't even have the ability to escape, and if they really fight, they can rely on Huang Degong's town, and the rest of the battles can only be fought by themselves.

60,000 new troops against 60,000 main forces, this battle does not have to be fought to know the result.

Qiu Yuanyi knew that he was not a prisoner army, he did not have so many artillery, and there were few qualified guns, and some of the limited ones were secretly supported by Qingjiang. The crown prince means that sooner or later he will be replaced with firearms, and now he will call some good players to train slowly, and in the future, he will bring the old with the new, and the cloth team will change its outfits very quickly.

The armor and soldiers are sufficient, the Nanku arsenal is more, and the financial and material resources of the south of the Yangtze River are poured to build, and almost everyone in the more than 60,000 Beijing battalions has armor. Of course, there is the most leather armor, and then the iron armor, and the weapons are also varied, but they are built with some care.

Such an army, of course, was considered elite before the appearance of the Pingyu Army, and now from Qiu Yuanyi's point of view, it can also be pulled out to fight a dozen, and he has been carefully training for several months, and at this time the Beijing camp has already come out.

However, this battle cannot be fought.

In an instant, he had already made a decision, and immediately bowed down and replied: "It has only been four months since the Beijing camp was formed, and it has only been two months since the first battle was completed. ”

Junchen played right, even if he said it too bluntly, Liu Wenbing on the side was very nervous.
