Chapter Seventy-Five: Ningyuan Mutiny

In the capital, Emperor Chongzhen finished dealing with the day's business, stretched his waist, and his heart was not bad. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info glanced at Wang Chengen on the side, and Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "There's nothing wrong today, right?" ”

"Back to the emperor, it's all done!" Wang Chengen nodded and said with a smile.

Emperor Chongzhen stood up from behind the dragon book case and moved his muscles: "It's not bad, I finished it relatively early today, just go to Queen Zhou's place to walk around, the queen is about to give birth, I want to go and see it often." ”

Although Emperor Chongzhen wanted to see Empress Zhou, he still didn't go, because Sun Chengzong, the first assistant scholar of the cabinet, came.

"Your Majesty, Lord Sun Chengzong is asking to see you outside!" Cao Huachun walked in from outside, he didn't hear that Emperor Chongzhen was going to see Empress Zhou, and after coming in, he bowed down and said.

Seeing Sun Chengzong's face, Emperor Chongzhen's heart moved, this is obviously not a good sign!

"Your Majesty, the minister has two copies of six hundred miles of expedited folding!" Sun Chengzong raised the fold in his hand and said with a serious face.

Wang Chengen didn't dare to slack off, stretched out his hand to take the fold, quickly came to Emperor Chongzhen's side, and handed the fold to Emperor Chongzhen.

After taking the fold, Emperor Chongzhen quickly looked through it, but after reading it, Emperor Chongzhen frowned and slapped it the dragon book case. After pondering for a moment, Emperor Chongzhen said, "A group of rice buckets!" ”

This time it was Liaodong that had an accident, and it was a very critical place in Liaodong: Ningyuan!

In the Ningyuan army, the Sichuan and Huguang soldiers mutinied due to a lack of pay for four months, and the remaining thirteen battalions rose up to respond, binding the governor Bi Zisu, the chief military officer Zhu Mei, the general judge Zhang Shirong, and the push officer Su Hanchun on the tower.

Wang Zaijin reacted quickly, and Guo Guang, the deputy envoy of the military garrison, conspired to trap his leaders Zhang Zhengchao and Zhang Sishun, beheaded 15 people, and quelled the mutiny.

It's just that as soon as this incident came out, a problem in Liaodong was exposed again, that is, these foreign soldiers in Liaodong. Glancing up at Sun Chengzong, Emperor Chongzhen said directly: "Aiqing, what do you think of this matter?" Wang Zaijin is in charge of me and asks for food! ”

After listening to Emperor Chongzhen's question, Sun Chengzong directly said: "Wang Zaijin handled this matter quite properly, after all, people are not in Liaodong, so they can't be judged. Although Wang Zaijin's move was a separation between the two armies, it quickly stabilized the situation, and there were advantages and disadvantages, as for saying that there were more, it was not easy to say! ”

"Aiqing, I'm not asking you this, I'm asking how to deal with this matter!" Emperor Chongzhen glared at Sun Chengzong and repeated his question.

Sun Chengzong did this, it was nothing more than to avoid suspicion, he had a conflict with Wang Zaijin before, and he was afraid that Emperor Chongzhen would misunderstand him and fall into the ground. But Emperor Chongzhen was very anxious, after all, Huang Taiji was eyeing each other, and if his side was messed up, it would be bad.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the foreign army in Liaodong can be ordered to withdraw to its hometown!" Sun Chengzong looked at Emperor Chongzhen and said in a serious tone.

"Tell me about it!" Emperor Chongzhen nodded, but Sun Chengzong's answer was not beyond his expectations.

Sun Chengzong nodded, and seemed to have prepared his words a long time ago: "At the beginning, foreign troops went to Liao, but the war in Liaodong was tense and Ningyuan was in danger, but now the situation in Liaodong has stabilized, and it is enough to defend Liaotu with Liao soldiers." ”

"Even if there is a crisis in Liaodong, the people in the capital can be able to fight, and the role of foreign soldiers in Liaodong is not so great!"

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, he also understood this, and things were indeed as Sun Chengzong said.

"Second, the foreign soldiers in Liaodong have always had many contradictions with the Liao soldiers, and they have been seriously squeezed out and suppressed by the Liao generals. If the two armies are not in harmony, it is easy to do bad things, and it was an expedient measure to drop foreign troops to Liao, and now is the time to withdraw them. ”

"Third, the supply of food and salaries for foreign soldiers in Liao not only increased the expenses of the imperial court, but also increased the difficulty of supply. Now that there has been such a thing because of the food and salary matter, it is better to move it back to its original hometown. ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded: "I agree with Aiqing's statement, but these foreign soldiers are all meritorious soldiers. ”

"They are far away from their homeland, and they went to Liaodong to contribute to the Daming Dynasty, shedding blood and sacrificing, I can't let them shed blood and tears." Emperor Chongzhen said with a serious attitude: "The cabinet has come up with a charter, and all the arrears will be reissued, and each soldier will be rewarded with half a year's salary." ”

"Meritorious officers have drawn up a group of them, let them come to the capital, and I will personally reward them! There are those who died in the battle in Liaodong, and the pension is three times greater, and no one is allowed to embezzle this money, and I will send someone to distribute it to the soldiers. ”

Sun Chengzong was stunned for a moment, and said with some hesitation: "Your Majesty, the other ministers don't object, but this reward for half a year's salary, isn't it too much?" The minister is worried that the treasury does not have so much silver! ”

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand, and said with a serious face: "Some money can be saved, some money can't be saved, this money can't be saved, I will take out the money from the inner treasury to do this thing." "In Emperor Chongzhen's heart, if there is no money, then copy a few corrupt officials, the money is in their hands, it is better to give it to these generals who fight for themselves.

"By the way, General Qin Liangyu is still in Liaodong?" Emperor Chongzhen looked at Sun Chengzong and said in a deep voice.

"Back to the emperor, General Qin Liangyu and his white pole army have returned to Sichuan!" Sun Chengzong didn't know how Emperor Chongzhen could talk about Qin Liangyu, but the only female general of the Ming Dynasty, he still knew, so he replied.

A flash of disappointment flashed on his face, Emperor Chongzhen was originally going to meet this legendary figure, but now it seems that there is no chance.

"The matter of Liaodong is so decided, the cabinet comes up with a charter, hurry up!" Emperor Chongzhen made a decision directly, stretched out his hand to pick up the remaining share of the fold, and after a few glances, Emperor Chongzhen began to rub his forehead, which is called the house leak and the overnight rain?

There was another accident on the southeast coast, the sea overflowed in Zhejiang, countless people and animals were drowned, Jiaxing hurricane and lewd rain, and the coastal and suburban residents were drowned. Shaoxing is windy, the sea water goes straight into the county town, and the market can be boated. Shanyin, Huiji, Xiaoshan, Shangyu, and Yuyao were drowned, each in the tens of thousands.

Closing the song, Emperor Chongzhen said to Sun Chengzong: "According to the previous disaster relief practice, there is a rule, disaster relief money and food must be sent to follow, and the whereabouts of each money must be traced, and I will send someone to keep an eye on it." The cabinet recommended a candidate for disaster relief, and then money and food had to be prepared. ”

"The emperor can rest assured, the minister knows what to do!" Sun Chengzong nodded: "The minister will go back and make arrangements!" With that, he bowed and walked out.
