Chapter 710: Wu Sangui and Yuan Chonghuan, Rebellion!
Faced with this situation, the queen could only smile helplessly: reward the sergeant?
It's light! The treasury Taicang has been so poor since the end of Wanli that it runs away from mice, and the emperor's inner treasury has no silver left. If it weren't for the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun", the money of several palaces was confiscated last year, and the tax revenue of Shandong was timely.
Now it will be even more bleak and unbearable!
Now that the transportation has been cut off again, and the taxes of the provinces cannot be sent to Beijing, where is the remaining money?
Besides, what Wu Sangui and Yuan Chonghuan said with evil intentions can be counted, and the ghost knows?
In short, looking at so much bad news coming in one after another, and the current situation that is getting worse and worse day by day, the queen can't help but feel powerless.
After staying for a while, the queen finally sat down in a dejected manner, and picked up the Tang newspaper forwarded by the Ministry of War.
Such an uncontrollable situation that is so eroded that it cannot be solved with the queen's limited ability.
And the Cabinet is also a bastard now!
For the hundreds of officials in the court, especially the Donglin Party, the queen can be regarded as seeing through. Those so-called "righteous gentlemen" can boast on weekdays, and on paper, "talking and laughing will be wiped out".
If they really want to work hard, they will be dumbfounded one by one, and they will hardly be able to do anything except engage in infighting, unleash their mouths, and shirk their responsibilities!
Lu Xiangsheng can be used, but he is sick, alas!
“…… Hey, it's really a difficult national affair! ”
At this moment, the queen felt very tired, very tired, tired and wanted to be like the emperor, and couldn't sleep.
Empress Zhang, who is less than 24 years old, can only be regarded as a female college student in the 21st century. In the first year of the Apocalypse, Zhang Yan, who was fifteen years old at the time, was the first beauty selected from the 5,000 beauties selected by the national primary election, and was canonized as the queen in April of the same year.
Being smart is being smart, but beyond that, there's nothing else.
You let her, with a group of old fox civil officials, intrigue in the court, and at the same time control the broken ship of the Ming Empire. Don't say it's her, even if Zhu Zilong didn't have the help of the ontological military force, he would be blind with 24k dragon eyes!
The job of the top leader of the Ming Dynasty, to be honest, even Zhu Zilong can't do it well.
If he hadn't opened the hanging, and he had also crossed the double realm, he would have been tired of the horn.
Of course, to say worse than bad. Comrade Zhu Zilong is still barely qualified as emperor, only compared to other unqualified emperors in the Ming Dynasty, he is already a fighter in the garbage sling.
The queen's ability is also quite qualified, but it's a pity that being the queen of the Ming Dynasty at this time will be finished unless it is Wu Zetian's reincarnation!
It's a pity that Empress Zhang is a good wife, but not Wu Zetian.
It will only have a headache for the doctor, and the foot will hurt the doctor, and where there is chaos, troops will be transferred to suppress it, but the more it is suppressed, the more chaotic it becomes.
Soon after.
Considering that the border pass and Shanhaiguan could not afford to be lost, the queen still took out 100,000 taels of silver and sent it to the Guanning army.
After all, if Shanhaiguan is gone, Houjin will come at any time, and it will even cause alternative ideas from other forces.
There are no soldiers on my own side of the capital division to arrange to take over!
Of course, theoretically speaking, there is a "Beijing camp" on the Beijing side, which is equivalent to the forbidden army of the Northern Song Dynasty.
During the era of Zhu Yuanzhang, the total strength of the Beijing camp was even as high as 400,000 (the capital was still in Nanjing at that time). After the Yongle Emperor moved the capital to Beijing, there were about 200,000 people in Beijing.
It's just that there has been no war in the capital for a long time, and the Jingying has been cut to more than 100,000 people during the Zhengde period, but because of empty salaries and the like. Their combat effectiveness can only be described as the five scum of war, and they are all praising them.
The local guards were reduced to serfs who could not fight at all by the end of the Ming Dynasty.
In any case, such an army, which exists only on paper, is obviously not capable of reinforcing anywhere. The Jingshou division is enough to choke!
From this point of view, in addition to the Beijing camp, there are only Jinyi guards left in Beijing as the "Son of Heaven's pro-army", as well as the internal prison soldiers under the Imperial Horse Prison, the soldiers who patrol the city every day, and the miscellaneous troops such as the yamen guards.
Oh, and the eunuchs of the East Factory. If you are numb, you have to rely on eunuchs to fight, and you are also drunk.
A few days later.
Considering the eagerness of the capital to open up the Cao Yun, it is obviously impossible not to send reinforcements to the past. The queen had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask her cabinet to order that part of the 19,000 Sichuan troops stationed at Shanhaiguan be evacuated from the front line.
Led by Qin Yiming, the leader of the white pole soldiers (the younger brother of the female general Qin Liangyu), he walked to Tongzhou by land and went south by boat for reinforcements. Hit the canal!
However, due to the long distance and poor news, Beijing can only let it develop.
Of course, the empress also intended to let Zhu Jiajun come back from North Korea.
It's just that after several inquiries, I learned that the Zhu family army seemed to be out of the jam and fought against the rear of Houjinda.
That's the only good news!
The queen thought to herself that if the Zhu family army won a big victory, the danger of the border pass would be solved.
It's just that Zhu Jiajun's behavior of entering the grassland privately, at this time, to be honest, no one cares so much.
If you want to say, who makes the queen the most hearted at this time is naturally her own person in the royal family.
The price of goods in the capital has long exploded, and the price of grain has skyrocketed day by day, and it has risen to fifteen taels of silver per stone of brown rice. But the wealthy and powerful people in Beijing have to hoard Juqi and raise food prices at such times. But there was no way to punish it, which made Empress Zhang depressed.
This helpless sense of powerlessness made the queen feel very depressed, but there was too much bad news, and that's it.
After a supper, the queen just stood up.
A female officer rushed to report, saying that Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, wanted to see him, and there was an urgent report from Liaodong.
When the queen heard this, her heart shook again.
Just gave 100,000 taels over there, this is another urgent report, what the hell is going on?
After thinking about it, the queen sighed and said, "...... Let him in. ”
When he was young, Chen Xinjia hurriedly ran in, his face was extremely dark, and he knelt directly on the ground and said: "Queen Mother, report urgently at the border ......"
It wasn't a good thing at first glance, and the queen said in a flat tone as much as possible: "...... Ahem, you choose what matters. ”
However, Chen Xinjia hesitated for a moment, and said in an astringent voice, "Back to the queen's mother's words, the border pass mutinied, and the Guan Ning army, under the leadership of Wu Sangui and Yuan Chonghuan, mutinied and surrendered!" ”
"Really? Liaoxi Jiangmen and Shanzong really surrendered to the enemy? Alas, what a bunch of unfamiliar wolf cubs, I knew they harbored evil intentions. Well, what else can I do? The queen's chest rose and fell, but at last she let out a long sigh, feeling that she had no strength to be angry.
Every year, hundreds of nearly 10 million taels of silver were thrown over, but in exchange for the repeated defeats and unruliness of the Guanning army.
Now they are simply under the leadership of Wu Sangui and Yuan Chonghuan, and they have mutinied and surrendered. Hehe!
"What happened to Shanhaiguan?" In the next minute, the queen cheered up and asked.
Chen Xinjia replied hatefully, "Now that the Jiannu army is fighting heavily at the border pass, Shanhaiguan is in danger ......."
