Chapter 775: Emperor Chongzhen's Gratitude (Part II)

"How? Where is Your Majesty ready to choose? Gao Yang crossed his arms, looked at the silent Emperor Chongzhen slightly, his eyes changed, and he asked with a smile.

"This ......" Emperor Chongzhen's heart was also very difficult. Although from his personal will, he is more inclined to exterminate Li Zicheng, who is the greatest threat to his imperial power. However, he was vaguely aware of Gao Yang's intentions in his heart. This kind of thing can't be done, he can't just guess now, even if there is evidence, what can he do? Gao Yang is a big deal, and he has done it well.

As for the matter of the navy going south, it made him even more upset. Jiangnan was the top priority of the Ming Empire. Although now Beizhili is developing rapidly because of the various immortal artifacts brought by Gaoyang. However, the mindset cultivated over the years still makes everyone feel that Jiangnan is the most important.

Once Gao Yang kills in Jiangnan, won't it turn Jiangnan into a pot of porridge? has been an emperor for more than ten years, and Zhu Youzhen is still very clear about the virtues of those under him. Judging by Gao Yang's standards, Jiangnan's pipe yard will inevitably undergo a large-scale reshuffle.

"No matter what, we have to leave a way out for those royal relatives." Since Gao Yang's determination could not be shaken, and Emperor Chongzhen had the same idea vaguely in his heart. Then he could only choose to delay for a while, give those imperial relatives a chance to withdraw, and leave them a way to live. Anyway, Gao Yang will still give this face.

If you don't go to the west, you won't go to the south for the time being. Then only the Jianyu to the north remained.

"I read Feng Menglong's Xingshi Hengyan, volume 22 has a saying, 'If you fight a snake, you will not die, and you will kill yourself.'" After Emperor Chongzhen made up his mind, he turned to look at Gao Yang sideways, his eyes changed, and he said with a chuckle, "Since the high immortal has already defeated that Jianyu, there is naturally no need to give them a chance to breathe." In case of a resurgence in the future. ”

"Resurgence?" Gao Yang laughed secretly in his heart.

In the previous battle in Ningyuan City, he almost killed all the men who were captive. Now most of the rest of the people in Jianyu are old and weak, women and children, and it will take at least ten years of hard work to revive from the ashes. Wait for the next generation to grow up. Emperor Chongzhen is obviously dragging his feet.

"Your Majesty is very true." Gao Yang bowed slightly with a solemn expression, raised his chin, and said in a deep voice, "That Jianyu was originally annexed and developed from the One Pole Tribe. In the past, the imperial court never cared too much about it, and gave them the opportunity to develop and grow, but they were hopeless later. The only people who built captives can also stand outside the gate and look at the Ming Dynasty. ”

After a pause, he continued, "Since Your Majesty has made up your mind, then wait until the beginning of spring, the army will go on a northern expedition and recover Shenyang!" ”

"Please, Immortal Gao." Emperor Chongzhen clenched his hands into fists. With a solemn expression, he saluted Gao Yang again.

Since the old slave raised the army, the Jianyu outside the gate has brought too much pain to the Ming Empire. Since Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he had to worry about the Jianyu outside the gate every year, and he was irritable. That's a real henchman!

At this moment, the Jianyu who beat the Ming Dynasty to the point of almost collapse finally came to the time of destruction, and Emperor Chongzhen's heart was also extremely excited.

"Still." Gao Yang suddenly changed his words and said loudly, "How should the Guan Ning Army be placed?" After recovering Shenyang and defeating those prisoners, it is inevitable that the new army will be left to continue to pursue and suppress, and at the same time settle down in the place. It is impossible to let the Guan Ning army do this kind of thing again. ”

Gao Yang's is a little tactful, but in fact, it is very likely that these Guan Ning troops will raise their own respect! Really give those builders a respite. Didn't Nurhachi raise horses in Li Chengdong's house back then? Without Guan Ningjun's help all the time. It is impossible for the builders to develop so quickly. It doesn't matter whether those Guan Ningjun take the initiative to help or passively help.

"Guan Ningjun?!" Emperor Chongzhen's eyes flashed with a look of extreme anger. This Guanning army can be regarded as a pit to death. The huge amount of Liao salary collected over the years has fattened the Guan Ning army, but it has forced the whole Xia!

The Guan Ning army, which had spent countless silver taels to supply, could do nothing but defeat the battle. lost his teacher and land every year, and reached out to the court every year to ask for money. gritted his teeth to supply the Guan Ning army. In the end, I almost lost the whole thing!

remembered that he was going to kill his whole family and martyr the country when Li counterattacked and broke through the Jingshi. Didn't those rebellious armies all come to this step because of the persecution of Liao? took the money, ruined the country, did not listen to the dispatch of the imperial court, but in the end he could not win the war! Emperor Chongzhen's anger towards Guan Ningjun in his heart can be imagined.

"Humph!" Emperor Chongzhen's eyes were cold and he snorted. His hands were clenched into fists, and his face, which had been ruddy, was slightly distorted under the reflection of the fireworks.

"All these useless wastes were dismissed on the spot. Anyway, they've made enough money over the years! I don't think I've had the heart to contribute to the country. If anyone dares to resist. Then kill them all! Emperor Chongzhen's cold, murderous words made Wang Chengen, who had made his sense of existence disappear as much as possible, couldn't help but shudder.

Emperor Chongzhen revealed his supreme majesty as an emperor at this moment, and one sentence decided the life and death of countless people.

You must know that it is the senior generals who can really reap the benefits and decide what the Guanning army can do, and the vast majority of the sergeants below are just obeying orders.

And no matter how the battle went, these soldiers also threw their heads and spilled their blood for the empire. At this time, Emperor Chongzhen simply denied everything they had done with a simple sentence, how should those dead soldiers feel? is the most ruthless emperor's family, and there is really nothing wrong with it.

"This ......" Gao Yang touched his nose, and after muttering for a moment, he raised his head and looked at Emperor Chongzhen's eyes, and said softly, "After all, the Guan Ning army is a sergeant who defends the country, and I'm afraid it's not good to treat it too fiercely, right?" ”

"What the high immortal said is very true." Emperor Chongzhen's face changed in an instant, as if he was not the same person who gritted his teeth and wanted to kill on the spot. This rapidly changing kung fu made Wang Chengen on the side smack his tongue, and his head hung lower. Don't be noticed by the emperor at this time.

Gao Yang frowned when he saw it, His Majesty the Emperor didn't seem to have drunk too much before. You can also remember who is really in charge. It's just that this is too fake.

"So be it." Gao Yang nodded slightly, half-lowered his eyelids, and said in a low voice, "Those generals in the Guanning army, just let them retire from active service." If you don't want to, you can take their families to remote places and continue to defend the frontier. As for those sergeants, they were selected and sent to the boot camp for retraining, and those who were qualified were integrated into the new army. The new army cannot all be the source of troops from the Northern Zhili. As for the other unsuccessful sergeants. The silver taels were distributed, the fields were distributed, and they were dissolved on the spot. What does Your Majesty think? ”

"Good, good!" Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "This plan is very good. ”

The emperor of more than ten years has not done it in vain, and this vision alone far surpasses most people. Gao Yang could only smile bitterly and shake his head, he was just giving Emperor Chongzhen a face, and of course Gao Yang had to make his own decisions on how to act.

It is impossible for a layman to command an insider, and this kind of thing cannot happen to Gao Yang. How many ups and downs has he been through? How experienced? Wouldn't he know what to do?

The advice given by the General Staff was to go north first to solve the Jianyu problem, reorganize the Guanning Army by the way, and make the entire north safe before anything else. Facing the enemy on the back is always a taboo for soldiers. As for the Mongols in the steppe, Gao Yang does not go to their troubles. And they shall rejoice. Where would they have the guts to go south alone after the Jianyu were defeated?

Wait until all your worries are resolved. When all kinds of materials are prepared and the reserve soldiers are enough to use, the army can go all the way south to recover the Central Plains.

After restoring the administrative capacity of the Ming court to the entire Xia, troops were sent overseas. This will also allow time for the nascent navy to replenish its strength and continue to increase the intensity of training. When the real large-scale naval combat comes, it will not be like a recruit.

looked at Gao Yang, who was lost in thought. Wang Chengen quietly stepped forward, covered his mouth behind Emperor Chongzhen and coughed lightly. When Emperor Chongzhen turned his head to look at him suspiciously, Wang Chengen hurriedly and quietly glanced at the square.

Emperor Chongzhen cast his gaze and instantly understood. Straightened up. His face changed to a calm expression, he coughed, and shouted softly with a hint of embarrassment, "High Immortal? ”

"Huh? What's wrong? Gao Yang, who came back to his senses, looked at Emperor Chongzhen suspiciously, not knowing what he was thinking.

"High Immortals. I saw that the high immortal was working on state affairs all day long, but there was not even a person around him to serve. I was very uneasy. After thinking about it, I wanted to match the female Hui Yuan with the high immortals and serve the left and right. I don't know what happens under the will of the high gods? After Emperor Chongzhen finished, he looked at Gao Yang nervously. Looking forward to his reply.

For an emperor, since a character like Gao Yang can't be subjugated, he can only choose to woo him. And the words of wooing. Is there anything more effective than recruiting a son-in-law?

Emperor Chongzhen had also seen Zheng Xiujing before, and he also knew that it was Gao Yang's wife. With his own vision, he can see that Gao Yang treats his wife very seriously. Hui Yuan wants to be a wife, but as long as she can be a flat wife, it's okay. After all, he is an immortal, so it is impossible to treat Hui Yuan badly. In the same way, with this relationship, it will inevitably be much easier to act in the future.

"Princess Changping?" Gao Yang's face stiffened slightly, and he turned his head to look at the square. Princess Changping, who was laughing and playing with her younger brothers and sisters with fireworks, was indeed a rare beauty under the reflection of fireworks.

The sixteen-year-old Princess Changping is the most beautiful age in a woman's life. Born in the emperor's family, his appearance is naturally none, and he has received elite education, is knowledgeable, gentle and virtuous, and has no shortcomings as a wife.

It's just that Gao Yang can still accept this kind of thing at this time? Want to know more about "The Merchant Who Traveled Through Time"?
