Zhu Youzhen promptly suspended the court meeting and avoided an endless quarrel. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info then he moved to the Palace of Raising the Heart, and only summoned the cabinet ministers and the officials of the household department and the military department to discuss matters, and skillfully excluded the officials of the science and road, and finally was able to discuss some specific arrangements.

In addition to the formal appointment of Lu Xiangsheng as trilateral governor, there are several important things to be done. The first thing is naturally to rescue Funing and recover Yongping, Qian'an, and Luanzhou. In fact, Zhu Youzhen has already made arrangements, Hao Yongzhong and Li Laiheng are already on the way to Jizhou, and now they are just going through a formal procedure.

In addition to Hao Yongzhong and Li Laiheng, this time Zhu Youzhen finally proposed to let the Shanhaiguan border army take the initiative to attack and first relieve the siege of Funing.

In the previous defense of Beijing, many ministers strongly advocated that the Shanhaiguan border army come to Beijing to serve as the king, but Zhu Youzhen did not agree. Now Zhu Youzhen wants to use the Shanhaiguan border army, and some ministers have spoken out against it, believing that the white flag has fewer troops and will not stay in the pass for a long time, so it is better to stick to it. If the Qing army could not attack the city, it would naturally withdraw, and if it went out of the city to fight, it would take risks. Moreover, when the army moves, it has to pay for food. Although the household department got 10 million taels of silver from selling treasury bonds, there were too many places to spend money, and it was necessary to save it.

Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart when he heard this, thinking that the reason why these people had diametrically opposite attitudes before and after was actually very simple: they were just afraid that the Jingshi would be attacked. Now that the Jingshi is safe, they don't care, the Qing army ravaged the people, it seems to have nothing to do with it!

Fortunately, Sun Chengzong, Wang Zaijin, and Yuan Keli resolutely opposed this argument, and repeatedly stressed that there must be no impediment between Jingshi and Shanhaiguan, and that the Manchu army would never be allowed to take root here. Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru naturally followed Zhu Youzhen's meaning and said that some of the other ministers had been fighting the main battle, so the mobilization of the Shanhaiguan border army was finally passed.

In terms of specific military deployment, Sun Chengzong took the initiative to ask the superintendent to fight this battle, and Zhu Youzhen was also happy to approve it. Because Sun Chengzong has supervised the division many times, his prestige is enough to lower Zu Dashou and other Shanhaiguan generals, and Gao Di can guard the city, let him go out of the city to command the battle, I'm afraid it will not work.

In terms of troops, Amin's inlaid white flag plus a small number of Mongolian Eight Banners and Han Army Flags, the strength of the army is about 20,000. The Ming army had 15,000 Hao Yongzhong, 4,000 each Li Laiheng and Li Dingguo. In terms of Shanhaiguan, Sun Chengzong suggested that 10,000 troops each of Man Gui and He Kegang be mobilized, half of each cavalry, and Zu Dashou and other generals would still defend the city.

Zhu Youzhen also agreed with this arrangement, because the total strength of these troops had reached more than 40,000, twice that of the Qing army. Moreover, these generals are all capable of recruiting and fighting, and it is not so easy for Amin to defeat them all. He only added one thing, that is, let Cao Wenzhao lead the remaining Guanning iron cavalry to fight together, and as soon as the battle was over, he would immediately rush to Beijing to join Lu Xiangsheng and go south.

These military deployments were quite smooth, because through the battle of defending the Beijing Division, all the ministers appreciated Zhu Youzhen's military command level, and they themselves knew nothing about military affairs, and they did not know what to say if they wanted to oppose it.

After discussing the military, it is the turn of the second major event, that is, the aftermath. This time, the Qing army entered the customs and destroyed dozens of prefectures and counties, and millions of people were forced to retreat and be displaced. Now that the Qing army has retreated, how to let the refugees return to their hometowns, how to help the people, and even how to rebuild their homes has naturally become a very urgent and big problem.

Zhu Youzhen first stated: The decision to abandon the prefecture and county and evacuate the people was made by the imperial court, or more precisely, by himself, so the imperial court and himself have an unshirkable responsibility for this matter and must compensate the people for all losses.

In terms of specific arrangements, first of all, arrangements were made for the people to return to their hometowns in an orderly manner under the protection of the officials and soldiers. Like Yongping, which has not yet been recovered, the court will continue to be responsible for food and lodging for the people who have withdrawn from it until the situation is completely calmed.

Second, all the expenses of returning home to the home should be shared in half by the household treasury and the internal treasury; All property lost in people's homes should be jointly inspected and registered by local officials and household commissioners, and compensation should be made in the future. Those who died in the war shall be given a pension of fifty taels of silver per person, all of which shall be paid out of the inner money.

Third, it is necessary to organize the people to seize the autumn harvest. Although the crops have destroyed a lot of tartars, there is still a lot left, and if you can harvest as much as you can, and if you harvest a little more, the life of the common people will be a little better. After the harvest was completed, the people could sow seeds on their own, or they could receive the seeds provided by the imperial court for free, all of which were provided by Zhu Youzhen's imperial village. From now on, all prefectures and counties that have suffered from military disasters will be exempted from military service for three years.

Fourth, it is also a matter that needs to be solved urgently, that is, the Qing army set fire to cities and villages in many places, a large number of houses were destroyed, and the common people had no place to live.

Zhu Youzhen's countermeasure was that now that the Tonghui River had been completed, and the expansion project of the Jingshi was no longer urgent, only the Mongol prisoners could be left to continue building the city, and the remaining 100,000 craftsmen should return to their hometowns with the refugees in groups of a few or dozens of people, and ensure that every village had craftsmen.

These craftsmen have only one job, which is to help the common people build houses. If the amount of work is small, it is completely done by craftsmen; If the amount of work is large, craftsmen are used as the backbone and local people are hired to do it together. All the expenses incurred in this are to be shared in half by the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Zhu You instructed Xu Guangqi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, to be in charge of this matter.

The reconstruction of Zunhua, Jizhou, Xifengkou and other passes is the responsibility of the official army. This is almost a new construction, and the military department must first come up with a design plan, and the specific construction will be done by tens of thousands of people who have been eliminated from the three major battalions of the Beijing Division, but are still in the military.

After listening to Zhu Youzhen's plan, almost all the ministers frowned. This time, before the minister of the Donglin Department could speak, the king of the household department Shangshu Zaijin first hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, the number of refugees is at least one million or more, according to what Your Majesty just said, even if one person spends ten taels of silver, it will take at least ten million taels of silver." Although the household department has treasury bonds and silver, according to the plan, it should first allocate the arrears of the officials and soldiers in various places, and it really can't afford to bear so many additional burdens..."

Zhu Youzhen also nodded sadly and said, "What Wang Shangshu said is not unreasonable. But the money must be spent, for the lives of the people cannot be measured by money. I had already promised them when I mobilized the people to evacuate, how could I break my promise now? Although you can do it with confidence, it is really not enough, and I still have my inner money, even if I tear down the Forbidden City and sell it, I will never let the people suffer from hunger and cold! ”

When the ministers heard this, they were all moved. The meeting did not disperse until dusk, the ministers withdrew, Zhu Youzhen just stretched out tiredly, and wanted to go back to the harem to relax, but suddenly saw Wen Tiren turn back again, and played mysteriously: "The minister has a strategy, which can solve the matter at today's court meeting!" ”
