Chapter 914 Who says that the country is poor, who am I anxious with!

4）

[Today's third shift is delivered]

At this moment, Chen Xinjia happened to be resting near the bunk. The good news came, which made Chen Xinjia feel very excited. It seems that Gao Qiqian really didn't lie to himself, and the direction he gave himself was indeed correct. Hehe, this time, I'm really rich.

Just as he was about to go out and go to the place where the cellar was buried, Liu Mang arrived at this time. He was wearing the uniform of the Tiger Army, and he was carrying Zhang Zhun's banner, Chen Xinjia's guards did not dare to stop him, and directly let Liu Mang see Chen Xinjia.

"What?"

"Your Governor?"

He ...... At the moment in Shanhaiguan? ”

When Chen Xinjia received Liu Mang's invitation, his face was really weird.

Zhang Zhun suddenly came to Shanhaiguan, and he didn't receive any wind. It was precisely because he felt that Zhang Zhun was not in Shanhaiguan that Chen Xinjia dared to come to Shanhaiguan. Otherwise, even if he is given great courage, he will not dare to meet Zhang Zhun Ah, who knows what will happen to Zhang Zhun, a black-faced god, when they meet?

Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhun finally came. Thinking of the cellar he found and the wealth in the cellar, Chen Xinjia felt that he had a heart, seven up and down, and he didn't know what to do. Zhang Zhun came at this time, and if he wanted to say that he had no connection with Gao Qiqian's wealth, Chen Xinjia himself didn't believe in himself.

However, he had a little illusion, and felt that Zhang Zhun should not have come for the wealth of high potential. If Gao Qiqian is high, only he knows, how did Zhang Zhun know? It's impossible, it's a coincidence.

Perhaps, Zhang Zhun didn't know about this at all, but he just happened to be in Shanhaiguan and learned that he was in Shanhaiguan, so he wanted to talk to himself. If this is the case, as long as he and Zhang Zhunxu have a good time, they will be able to leave smoothly with the wealth of high potential.

"Please tell the Governor, I'll be there soon."

Regarding Zhang Zhun's invitation, Chen Xinjia really didn't dare to refuse rashly.

This is the land of the Tiger Army, and with Zhang Zhun's Xingge, he really can do everything. The current Tiger Ben Army is full of wings, strong soldiers and strong horses, and the power of the imperial court is getting weaker and weaker day by day, and there is no strength to put up a stand in front of Zhang Zhun at all. In Zhang Zhun's eyes, he is just a cat and a dog.

Thinking of this, Chen Xinjia immediately changed his mind and immediately went to Shanhaiguan to meet Zhang Zhun. As for the unearthed wealth, it was loaded in wagons and ready to leave at any time. Chen Xinjia estimated that his meeting with Zhang Zhun should not take much time. As soon as the meeting was over, he immediately flew away.

Soon, in the Kuixing Pavilion of Shanhaiguan, Chen Xinjia met Zhang Zhun. At the scene of the meeting, Chen Xinjia didn't show anything wrong, and his heart was put down. It seems that Zhang Zhun should know nothing about the treasure of Gao Qiqian. This meeting was purely a courtesy.

"Lord Governor, the officials are polite."

Chen Xinjia was quite respectful in front of Zhang Zhun.

He is the secretary of the military department of the imperial court, the official title of the second grade, and among the civil officials, he is already a very popular minister. The three princes and three orphans of Zhengyipin, and the like, are impossible to get from ordinary civil officials. However, in front of Zhang Zhun, he still has to call himself a subordinate official. Because, Zhang Zhun is the chief military officer of Zhengyipin, the governor of the rear army, and the title of Earl Ping.

Of course, only Zhang Zhun is qualified to let Chen Xinjia claim to be a subordinate official, if it is another chief military officer, Chen Xinjia will not look at it at all. In addition to Zhang Zhun, the other chief military officers, in front of the civil officials of the second grade, are not as good as the military preparation of the fifth grade. Even if it is Qin Liangyu, who is already old, he is also the governor of the capital and the earl, and he can't let Chen Xinjia claim to be a subordinate official.

"Lord Chen, long admiration, long admiration"

Zhang Zhun said quietly.

After the two of them were polite, the guests sat down.

Chen Xinjia took the initiative to get straight to the point and said: "This official is here to handle some personal affairs in Shanhaiguan, as long as the matter is done, he will leave immediately, and please rest assured." ”

This is to tell Zhang Zhun unmistakably that I am here for a private matter, and I am definitely not fighting for Shanhaiguan with your Tiger Army. Therefore, you must not be careful, I am definitely not here on behalf of the imperial court. He also told Zhang Zhun that he would leave soon and would not do anything. The secret meaning is that he hopes that Zhang Zhun can raise his noble hand and let him leave safely.

Zhang Zhun smiled and nodded, and said meaningfully: "Lord Chen has come from afar, and it has been hard. Our army has just taken over Shanhaiguan, everything is busy, there are many omissions, and I ask Lord Chen to ponder for two more days, if there is anything I don't understand, I can also ask for advice. ”

Chen Xinjia didn't understand the meaning of Zhang Zhun's words at all, and hurriedly said: "Certainly, definitely, as long as the Governor has instructions, the subordinate officials will definitely work hard to do it." ”

Zhang Zhun smiled slightly, glanced at Chen Xinjia intentionally or unintentionally, and said lightly: "I don't know what Lord Chen is going to do when he makes a special trip to the back shop?" Could it be that the things entrusted by Lord Chen's friends have to be completed in the shop? It just so happens that I also have troops in the bunk, I don't know if Lord Chen wants to help? ”

After Ling Ruocheng rushed to the back shop with his troops, Zhang Zhun immediately learned more about this matter through other channels, and now there is a general outline. The ability to raise the potential of Liaodong and fill one's own pockets is indeed too powerful. There are too many properties in his name. It is said that there are millions of taels of gold and silver alone. When I went back to the mainland, I couldn't transport it all at all.

After all, Gao Qiqian is only the supervisor of the Liaodong army, and his power can only be exercised in the Liaodong region, and after returning to the mainland, he will be constrained by all aspects. He walked with so much wealth, once he was revealed, it would be a trouble after all. The struggle of the imperial court is very complicated, and Chongzhen's Xingge is very fickle. Even if you are high and dive, you can't be completely confident, and you don't have anything to do with yourself.

Especially when it comes to property, Chongzhen is particularly sensitive. For the sake of money and food, Chongzhen offended his imperial relatives and relatives, and he was in a hurry, and he was not a person inside and out. Even so, in the end, he didn't get enough money and food. For the sake of money and food, Chongzhen can be said to have exhausted all his efforts. If he is now, you are high and diving, a eunuch, and he actually has a net worth of millions, it would be strange if he didn't soar.

Therefore, for the sake of prudence, Gao Qiqian decided to leave most of the property in Shanhaiguan, find a reliable place, dig a lot of cellars, and then temporarily seal the property inside, and hand it over to reliable people to guard. He wanted to wait until he had established himself and established a secret passage before sending someone to transport the property away.

However, people are not as good as heaven, the Tiger Ben army successfully conquered Yizhou Wei, Zhang Zhun sent a good news to Emperor Chongzhen, which can be regarded as making Emperor Chongzhen happy, but unexpectedly, it deeply stimulated Emperor Chongzhen's fragile self-esteem. As a result, Chongzhen was furious and sent Gao Qiqian and Wu Aheng to prison.

After Gao Qiqian was imprisoned, of course, he had to actively save himself. This old eunuch really understands the affairs of officialdom too well. In these years, the most effective way to save oneself is, of course, to pay money. As long as you find the right person and send enough money, nothing can't be changed.

Chen Xinjia is a celebrity in front of Emperor Chongzhen, and Gao Qiqian pinned his hope of being rescued on Chen Xinjia's body. Through secret channels, Gao Qiqian told Chen Xinjia that he had a huge fortune in Shanhaiguan, and said that he was willing to give these fortunes to Chen Xinjia, just asking Chen Xinjia to have some connections and give him a way to live.

Chen Xinjia is also an old fox, so naturally he won't easily believe Gao Qiqian's words. After repeated secret contacts, the two finally settled on the matter. Chen Xinjia decided to come to Shanhaiguan in person and take the wealth away as soon as possible. So, he made an excuse to come here. Unexpectedly, he happened to meet Zhang Zhun.

Hearing Zhang Zhun specifically mention the place name of the shop, as if there was something in his words, Chen Xinjia hurriedly said: "Thank you Lord Governor for your kindness, the next official is just a little thing, and you can deal with it yourself, and you don't need the help of Lord Governor." ”

The matter of the inner shop, if Zhang Zhun knows, then it will be okay? With Zhang Zhun's Xingge, as long as it is seen by him, no matter what it is, it definitely belongs to him.

Zhang Zhun nodded and said casually: "Since this is the case, then how did you come, how do you go back." You still don't care about other people's affairs. You can't manage it if you want to. In Shanhaiguan, no matter what you do, you will definitely not be able to do it without the approval of our Tiger Army. If I'm not mistaken, the lining should be under the jurisdiction of Shanhaiguan? ”

Chen Xinjia was slightly stunned.

There is absolutely something wrong with Zhang Zhun's words

Could it be that Zhang Zhun actually knew the purpose of his arrival?

Chen Xinjia hurriedly said: "I have a friend who has some private property here, I will help him take it away, and ask Lord Haihan, the Governor, to raise his noble hand." ”

Zhang Zhun said with a smile: "Lord Chen, regarding the hidden property of Gao Qiqian, I think it is better to deal with it carefully. ”

Since the other party named Gao Qiqian's name, Chen Xinjia couldn't hide it, so he had to say bitterly: "What does Lord Du mean?" ”

Zhang Zhun said bluntly: "These properties were all obtained by Gao Qiqian from Liaodong, and of course they must be returned to the people of Liaodong." ”

Chen Xinjia said euphemistically: "That's the money and grain of the imperial court, and the imperial court wants to take it back." ”

Zhang Zhun repeated: "This is the property of Liaodong. ”

Chen Xinjia wanted to be angry, but when the words came to his lips, he shrank back.

At this time, and Zhang Zhunhuo, it is indeed too stupid. As long as Zhang Zhun nodded, he would hit his head on the ground. With the current state of the imperial court, even if he dies, the imperial court will not let out a fart. Why bother? For the sake of the court, for the sake of high diving, for the sake of those riches in the cellar, to bury his own life, that is not a fool?

Chen Xinjia can be regarded as a person who can afford to take it and let it go, after analyzing the powerful relationship, he instantly changed his face, and said crisply: "Since Lord Du Du said so, the lower officials will go back with a clean sleeve." On the side of the bunk, please send someone to take over. ”

Zhang Zhun said quietly: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, my people have taken over." If there is no accident, the wealth in the cellar should return to the arms of the people of Liaodong. ”

Chen Xinjia had no choice but to be speechless.

It turned out that he had unknowingly fallen into the chime of the Tiger Army. The Tiger Army has been monitoring its own movements, but it is pitiful that it has not been noticed. To say that he is incompetent, Chen Xinjia is not convinced. However, if you want to say that you are not incompetent, how can you do such a bad thing?

In desperation, Chen Xinjia immediately got up and said goodbye.

Zhang Zhun stood up with a smile to see off the guests.

The two parted unhappily.

Half an hour later, Ling Ruocheng sent someone back to report that they were in the shop, and they just stopped all of Chen Xinjia's entourage, and all the wealth was naturally seized. According to their preliminary count, as well as the results of the preliminary interrogation, the total amount of gold and silver intercepted was more than 1.3 million taels. Other gold and silver jewelry, rare antiques, calligraphy, paintings, medicinal materials, etc., the value cannot be estimated for the time being.

"Whoever says the country is poor, I must be anxious with whom"

Zhang Zhun couldn't help but shake his head gently, looking up to the sky with emotion and sighing.

Not to mention the best of King Fu, even a eunuch can embezzle so much wealth, which is really speechless. Chongzhen called poor and poor all day long, but he didn't know that he was ruling the richest country in the world at that time. Don't say anything about the Netherlands, ten Netherlands, none of them are as good as a Ming country.

It's a pity that the wealth of the Ming Kingdom is not in the hands of the state, nor is it in the hands of ordinary people, but in the hands of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, powerful and inferior gentry. They used all this wealth for personal expenses, spending all their days and drinking wine, wine pools and Rou forests.

Chongzhen is also a fool, as long as a dozen big corrupt officials come out, confiscate all their family property, and use it as military expenses, it is enough to drive all the Tartars to Sakhalin Island to drink the northwest wind, where is the turn of the Tartars to be so arrogant?

……

After Chen Xinjia left, Wang Shide came in and reported: "My lord, I have received the latest information, saying that the imperial court appointed Yang Sichang as the governor of Shanxi and is stationed in Taiyuan. He also ordered Wang Kun and Shi Kefa to lead the army to enter the front line of Datong and Xuanfu. Hong Chengchou's army was stationed in Linfen, Yuncheng and other places. It seems that the imperial court is ready to make a big move. ”

Zhang Zhun said with a deep face: "The imperial court wants to run away." ”

Wang Shide was slightly stunned and did not speak.

In other words, the matter of the imperial court running away has been discussed for two years, and it has always been thunder and raindrops, and slowly there is no movement. Later, when everyone heard such news again, they no longer believed it. Could it be that this time, the imperial court really made up its mind and wanted to run away? Such a troop deployment is obviously to cover and retreat the personnel and materials of the Beijing Division

After a while, Wang Shide couldn't help but say a little dancing: "The imperial court wants to withdraw, so let's ...... Want to take control of the entire Northland? ”

No wonder he is so happy, really, this is great good news Once the imperial court withdraws, Beizhili and Shanxi will be completely under the control of the Tiger Army. With the addition of Shandong and Henan, as well as Liaodong, which was about to be pacified, the Tiger Ben Army controlled almost half of China. Even if you can't unify the whole country for the time being, you can still form an imperial court.

Zhang Zhun's expression was not very happy. When the imperial court retreated, the first thing he thought of was how the Tiger Army could effectively control this area. It's not that this land is yours, it's yours. You've got to find a way to keep it, find a way to spread it out. It's better not to have a piece of land that doesn't produce it.

In fact, the imperial court moved south at this critical juncture, which was really not a good thing for the Tiger Army. Because, at present, the main energy of the Tiger Army, as well as most of the troops, is in the eastern Liaodong region. Solving the Tartar is also Zhang Zhun's selection strategy. If the strategy of the Tiger Ben Army needs to be changed because of the sudden move of the imperial court to the south, it may cause some trouble.

The most obvious manifestation is that once the imperial court moves south, the Tiger Ben Army will take over the defense of Beizhili and Shanxi, and even take over the defense of Shaanxi. This is the border area with the Mongolian steppe. Once the imperial army's troops were withdrawn, the Tiger Ben army would definitely have to take over. Outside the Great Wall, there are the Mongols.

Although it is said that the current Mongols, there is no possibility of a large-scale invasion. However, it is very possible for sporadic Mongols to enter and loot some supplies. Especially after this cold winter, the supplies of the Mongols should be quite scarce. A group of Mongols suddenly entered the fortress, plundered the population and horses, and left with a gust of wind.

And horse thieves are also a big problem. In and around the Great Wall, there are many horse thieves active. No one can tell where these horse thieves came from, and no one knows how many forces these horse thieves are connected to. However, these horse thieves, who do not accept anyone's jurisdiction and do not obey anyone's command, are well known.

In the past, the officials and soldiers basically had no way to take these horse thieves. It can only be left to its content. Only when their own interests are seriously harmed will the officers and soldiers make some moves to expel Xing. As a result, once the official army came to besiege them, these horse thieves ran away to the Mongolian steppe. Once the officers and troops retreated, they came back and revived.

After the Tiger Army takes over, it will definitely eliminate these horse thieves and ensure the security of the border. Again, this is a long-term task. The three towns of Xuanzhen, Datong, and Shanxi in the imperial court had a total of 150,000 troops. The current strength of the Tiger Ben Army, all combined, is less than 100,000. 30,000 people are here, that's not bad.

It can be said that once the imperial court moves south, the Huben Army will officially become the ruling organ of a country, and all aspects must be changed, and all aspects of things must be considered comprehensively. Compared with the previous role of a rebel, it is indeed a lot more difficult. If you don't have enough mental preparation, you may have an accident.

In addition, in the process of moving the imperial court south, various problems may arise. These problems must be thought out in advance, and then the corresponding plan should be formulated to avoid being in a hurry at that time. It took more than half a year for the imperial army to retreat from Liaodong, let alone move the capital? The most optimistic estimate is that in less than two years, the work of moving the capital of the imperial court will not be completed.

Moreover, will some areas of Beizhili smoothly accept the rule of the Tiger Army? Will the local big families, famous families, rise up and wreak havoc? Will they collude with local horse thieves and bandits to form private armies? Will there be a head of the imperial army who will be armed in the local area?

Especially in the Shanxi region. The Tiger Ben Army is in Shanxi, but there is no basis for domination. Suddenly, the Tiger Ben Army is about to take control of Shanxi, how will the work be carried out? The imperial army withdrew, and the tiger army did not arrive in time, will there be a warlord melee and armed secession in Shanxi?

There are many, many problems that need to be carefully considered, but fortunately, there are a few big people on the side of the Tiger Army, and they all have considerable experience in ruling the whole country. It seems that Gao Hongtu, Zhang Shenyan, Qiao Yunsheng and others are all quite good court officials, and they have rich experience in managing national government affairs, and they can reduce a lot of resistance for the Tiger Ben Army.

"My lord, the second batch of war horses of the Mongols has arrived."

At this time, someone came to report.

"Good"

"Let's see"

Zhang Zhun said with great interest.

The five thousand war horses sent by the Aotel tribe before have been put into the cavalry by the Tiger Army. Now, it should be another 5,000 horses. Relying on these war horses, the Tiger Army can form more cavalry battalions.

The th, ninth, and tenth cavalry battalions of the Tiger Army, named the Falcon Cavalry Battalion, the Eagle Cavalry Battalion, and the Shark Cavalry Battalion respectively, are undergoing personnel training at the cavalry training base in Pingzhou. As long as these 5,000 war horses are successfully sent to Pingzhou, these three cavalry battalions will be officially formed.

Of the seven current cavalry battalions of the Tiger Army, three are in Liaodong and four are in the Central Plains. They all played a significant role in the battle. It seems that a sneak attack on Luoyang, if you leave the cavalry unit, it is absolutely impossible to achieve. It can be said that the more cavalry in the Tiger Army, the better.

Although the number of cavalry of the Tiger Army has been steadily increasing, it has now passed 10,000 people. However, such a number of cavalry is far from enough. Even with the combined strength of ten battalions, it was only 10,000 cavalry. 10,000 cavalry, if you control a province, it's almost over. But it is not enough to control the whole country.

Zhang Zhun considered that he planned to double the strength of the first three cavalry battalions, and the strength of each battalion reached about 3,000 people. The three cavalry battalions combined, there were 10,000 people, which just formed a cavalry regiment. In the north, cavalry is king, if there are ten cavalry legions, there are 100,000 cavalry, it is almost the same.

"My lord, the envoy of the Mongols is coming"

Suddenly, someone came to report it.

"Please"

Zhang Zhun said casually.

A moment later, an emissary from the Mongols arrived.

Zhang Zhun looked up and saw that it was now Haasqiqige

[Friends who ask for a monthly pass and have a guaranteed monthly pass, I voted for a few and was kicked out of the name, and I didn't have the face to see people]
