In the sea-view room, Yang Bo was lying comfortably on a rocking chair, holding a report submitted by the General Staff Department in his hand and reading it with relish.

The staff department was not very clear about Yang Bo's intentions for a while, so Yang Bo made a sample and divided the first year of Chongzhen into five years, and the staff department should classify them according to the different times of the newspaper, and list the major events of each year separately, and also express their opinions behind each major event according to their own judgment, and predict the subsequent development of the situation.

That Wang Xiaoyu did a good job!

Yang Bo secretly praised in his heart, if the seventeenth year of Chongzhen is divided into three stages, the situation of Chongzhen in five years cannot be said to be not serious, nor is it very serious, it can be said that it is the early stage of the building about to collapse.

The biggest thing in Chongzhen's early years was nothing more than to bring down Wei Zhongxian, Yang Bo already had his own understanding of this matter, so he didn't bother to look at Xiao Yu and their nonsense, they were too deeply affected by public opinion, and said that this matter was a good thing.

The only exception is that Xiao Yu was a little involved in Emperor Chongzhen's motives for overthrowing Wei Wei, one is for fame, and the other is for power, these two judgments alone made Yang Bo look at Wang Xiaoyu with admiration.

Chongzhen two years is a trivial matter attracted Yang Bo's attention, after the defeat of Wei, the Donglin Party reinvigorated, energetic, in order to vote for the favor of Emperor Chongzhen, the criminal department to the matter of Liu Mao Shangshu suggested, in February of this year to abolish the post station, hoping to save 800,000 taels of silver per year, but the silver was not saved, but tens of thousands of post guards like Li Zicheng were dismissed.

Another major event is the "change of self", because the content of the newspaper is not much, Xiao Yu and they added their personal emotions to it, and the quality of this Chongzhen two-year analysis is very average, and after Houjin retreated, a series of dazzling political struggles in the imperial court are not at all understandable by people of Xiao Yu's level, so their reports are all written in a mess, and the bull's head is not right for the horse's mouth.

In November of this year, the Houjin army, which had conquered Korea in the east and southern Mongolia in the west, broke the tripartite alliance of Ming, Mongolia and North Korea, under the leadership of Huang Taiji, bypassed the Guanning defense line with 7 to 80,000 eight banners, passed through southern Mongolia, broke through the pass from Xifengkou (today the north of Jinji County), broke through Jimen, burned and looted all the way, and approached Yanjing, the government and the opposition were shaken, and it was the first time that Houjin entered the fortress. Yuan Chonghuan hurriedly transferred the division back to help, after Zhao led the advance force of 5,000 people was completely annihilated by the Houjin army, Yuan Chonghuan has been following the Jin without fighting, until approaching Yanjing City, relying on the city to fight, only to repel the Houjin, the Beijing division is safe

After the "change of Jisi", Chongzhen, who was extremely dissatisfied with Yuan Chonghuan, endured to the limit, and instructed Wen Tiren, Zhou Yanru and other non-Donglin party members to instigate a large number of imperial historians to impeach Yuan Chonghuan for slacking off the war and misleading the country.

In the third year of Chongzhen, with the tightening of Liao affairs, Liao's salary increased by nearly two million taels more than during the Apocalypse, and the miscellaneous items controlled by the Donglin Party, salt tax, and customs duties did not increase but decreased, and Chongzhen, who was financially constrained, could only greatly increase the field endowment, Wang Xiaoyu and others could not see the game behind these party struggles, and attributed the peasant uprising in Chongzhen's three years to natural disasters [***], which is really a bit of a mistake that does not distinguish between cause and effect.

Hunger people everywhere, the people's army uprising is in full swing, Shaanxi Province is almost endless, in the face of this situation, Zhu Youzhen reactivated the former emperor's division, promoted Yuan Chonghuan's former Jiliao Governor Sun Chengzong reinstated, led the army to quickly recover Yongping, Zunhua four cities, the Houjin army completely drove out of the Guanwai, Yang Bo noticed a person in the newspaper, Zuo Liangyu!

This historical figure with some impressions of Yang Bo has begun to emerge in this battle, just when Emperor Chongzhen was worried about the situation in Shaanxi, a person came out, and Yang He, the deputy capital of the left side.

It was this person who made a fuss and said that the liukou is also a child of the court, and he is the vitality of the world, and he should be cared for.

Chongzhen was very happy, gave him the name of the governor of Shaanxi and wanted him to go to Shaanxi, Yang He was not stupid, he refused to go, and finally Emperor Chongzhen couldn't, so he saved some money from the inner library, and then sent him away.

Yang He did a very good job, and with the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver saved by Emperor Chongzhen, he successfully appeased the rebellious people, and in just a few months, the situation in Shaanxi stabilized.

Chongzhen's four-year situation began to be bad, although Yang He did a good job, but the empty mouth and white teeth could not last long after all, so as soon as the spring began, Shaanxi was full of beacons, and the rebel army was everywhere, and the scale was even larger than before. Yang He was angered by Emperor Chongzhen and sent to Jiangxi to suffer, but his attitude towards the rebellious people was inherited by others.

The so-called Guanning defense line, which cost countless military salaries, is a joke in front of Houjin, Huang Taiji planed the high hopes of Dalinghe City into ruins, except for Zu Dashou who escaped alone, the remnants of the army and civilians in the city were cut clean by Huang Taiji like leeks, and Sun Chengzong, who tried his best to squeeze out Wang Zaijin, knew that he could not explain, and patted his ass and went home to retire.

Seeing this, Yang Bo sighed incomparably, Wang Zaijin is not highly evaluated in history, because he made a sensational suggestion at that time, negotiate peace!

The newspaper reads: "The amount is as high as more than one million silver taels, the center is shaking, the court is indecisive, there are many negotiators, and his subordinates such as Yuan Chonghuan and others are also striving for it."

Yang Bo was very sorry, at that time dared to propose peace, only the king was in Jin, and the ambition and appetite of the Later Jin Dynasty was not large, from a political point of view, this was a rare respite for the Chongzhen Dynasty, so that the imperial court had the opportunity to focus on internal affairs. Due to the fierce opposition of Yuan Chonghuan, Shen Di, Sun Yuanhua and others, Yuan Chonghuan even crossed Wang Zaijin several times and stabbed directly into the hands of Shoufu Ye Xianggao.

This person once analyzed the situation outside the border in the Di Bao back then: "The eastern affairs are separated from the Phi, one is worse than Qing and Fu, then worse than Kai and Tie, three is bad for Liao and Shen, and four is bad for Guangning." The initial bad is a crisis, then the bad is a defeat, the third bad is the endgame, and as for the four bad - donating the whole Liao, there is no game to be deployed! Gradually retreat to the mountains and seas, and there is no step back after that. ”

Unfortunately, the situation is really as he predicted the four bad and Guangning, after Sun Chengzong took over, abandoned the construction of the king in Jin Bali to pave the heavy city, changed to the Guan, Ning, Jin defense line, vigorously expanded the armament war, the number of soldiers soared from 40,000 to 140,000, on the one hand, a large number of ordnance, armor, on the other hand, a large number of henchmen, the addition of the government, spent countless people, drained the last drop of blood of the dying Ming Dynasty, and cultivated countless Guanning military leaders for the Ming Dynasty.

Houjin gouged out Dalinghe City and directly announced the bankruptcy of the Guanning Jin defense line, for the Guanning Jin defense line that was not so strong, the Houjin could come and gnaw at any time if he wanted to, plus the previous Houjin detour broke through the Xifeng Pass, which has proved to the Ming Dynasty monarchs and ministers that the Oriental Maginot Guanning defense line has essentially been scrapped.

The report in his hand finally turned to the fifth year of Chongzhen, which was the year when Yang Bo showed his strength, but it was not good for the imperial court.

The first is the Dengzhou Rebellion, originally Shandong Governor Yu Dacheng and Denglai Governor Sun Yuanhua pinned their hopes on Zhaofu, so that the rebellion lasted for a whole year, until the end of the year Zhu Dadian recruited Guanning Iron Cavalry to break through Dengzhou, the situation changed a little, and the west is the Beacon Fire Joint Camp, the war is everywhere, at this time, Hong Chengchou came out, he took over the position of Yang He Shaanxi Governor of the three sides, and defeated hundreds of thousands of rebel troops into a defeated army, looking for teeth everywhere, most of the rebels could not find a way to live in Shaanxi, and flowed to Shanxi. However, due to the frequent good news, on the whole, Chongzhen's five years were still in danger and passed safely.

Seeing this, Yang Bo threw away the report in his hand and lay back on the chair tiredly, no matter what, the general trend of the world finally had a preliminary impression in his mind.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, Yang Bo didn't open his eyes, and then a pair of small hands gently put on Yang Bo's shoulders and massaged him up, Yang Bo knew that it was Yun Niang who came.
