Chapter 392: Emperor Chongzhen's Intuition

When Wen Tiren came to the Qianqing Palace, the Son of Heaven's face was gloomy, while Zhou Yanru was standing expressionlessly, and the atmosphere in the hall was very wrong. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Just now, he went to the household department, and when he returned to Wenyuan Pavilion, he got Denglai Zhu Dadian and got another excerpt, and Zhou Yanru had already entered the palace with the excerpt to meet the emperor.

Wen Tiren was angry in his heart, he couldn't wait for me to come back and then face the saint together, you Zhou Yanru still have me as a secondary assistant.

At this time, there was a eunuch who passed the decree, long live the summons, Wen Tiren immediately followed the eunuch to the Qianqing Palace to face the saint.

Seeing the expression of the Son of Heaven at this time, his heart sank, could it be that something happened to Denglai, didn't he already say that the traitors were exterminated last time, and now Daming can no longer withstand the toss.

Wen Tiren hurriedly knelt down to salute.

"Excuse me, this is Zhu Dadian's excerpt, Elder Wen Ge will also come and take a look." Chongzhen waved his hand a little impatiently.

"Long live thanks." Wen Tiren got up and sat down, and Zhou Yanru handed him the fold.

Wen Tiren took a closer look, and was shocked in his heart, the document of Zhu Dadian's victory only said that the victory was simply reported that the army defeated the rebels in Shahe, and Denglai Jinghaiwei commanded Zhao Lie to take advantage of the situation to sneak attack the rebels, resulting in a great defeat of the rebels.

At that time, he remembered that Banzai was ecstatic, and finally went to the trouble in his heart, and the rebellion of nearly a year had made Shandong Denglai eroded, and several conquests were all defeated, and the imperial court was greatly disgraced, and at the same time, it also made the already embarrassing finances on the verge of bankruptcy.

The 30,000 army led by Zhu Dadian is simply the last hope of the imperial court, if it fails again, the next army and food will not know where it will come from, so not only will they be overjoyed, but they will also breathe a sigh of relief and finally unload a big burden.

Of course. The silver of the reward and the food and salary of the soldiers still have to be raised, and they still can't get out completely, but the bottomless pit has finally bottomed out.

After reading this excerpt, Wen Tiren was surprised, "This is." Is this true? ”

"That's right, the excerpt of Gao Qiqian has also arrived in the inner court, and that's true." Chongzhen pursed his lips, "Unexpectedly, the Confucian thieves who could not be encircled and suppressed by the imperial court three or four times were rebellious, Zhao Lie actually used less than 10,000 subordinates to break tens of thousands of enemies in three battles and three victories, and captured the fortified city of Dengzhou in just one day, what an invincible general." ”

At this time. Chongzhen became more and more jealous of the Denglai Zhao family in his heart.

"If there is no imperial army to defeat the Confucian thieves in front and attract the main force of the rebels to the west, Zhao Lie will never be able to sneak attack behind, just a fluke." Wen Tiren hesitated and arched his hand.

"Then how to explain the defeat of Liaozhen at the hands of Zhao Lie." The originally pale face was flushed with a dark red, and Chongzhen's tone became eager.

Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren really couldn't answer, Shahe was able to defeat Kong Youde's department, which showed that the combat power of the Liaozhen cavalry was indeed strong, and you must know that the soldiers in Shandong, Changping, Baoding, Jimen, Tianjin and other places were defeated by Kong Youde. It's just that he was defeated by Zhao Lie's department, not a sneak attack. It is a battle formation, which can only be said that Zhao Lie's combat strength is extremely strong.

"It's just the ambition of the wolf, the ambition of the wolf, this Zhao Lie finally showed his face, and he actually reached out to ask for an official position in the imperial court, and he was still the chief soldier of Denglai. What is this, do you want to blackmail the imperial court? Chongzhen knocked the table.

"Long live, Zhu Dadian also talked about this matter, he refused on the spot, and Zhao Lie was reluctant to leave Denglai. He asked Denglai to be the commander of the capital, and at the same time offered 300,000 taels of silver to solve the crisis in Denglai. Zhou Yanru peeked at Chongzhen's complexion,

"Weichen thought about it again and again, but it was not unnecessary."

Zhou Yanru gritted his teeth and said, as the first assistant, he is anxious about the silver today, and for the 300,000 taels of silver, how about giving a command.

"It is absolutely impossible, Denglai is a large military town, there are tens of thousands of military households, if it falls into the hands of Zhao Lie, the consequences will be unimaginable." Chongzhen flatly refused.

"It's just that Zhao Lie's department occupies Dengzhou Town and Water City, so what can I do." Zhou Yanru was unimpressed with those tens of thousands of military households, where did these tens of thousands of military households go when the Confucian thieves were in turmoil.

Of course, he is just slandering in his heart, he will never talk too much on the surface, it is easy to lose his temper, what he needs now is to solve the problem, is not it, Zhao Lie's department is still lying there.

"I don't have an army that can fight anymore, Elder Wen Ge, can I send tens of thousands of elite soldiers from all over the country to suppress Zhao Lie." Chongzhen was furious.

Wen Tiren heard that there were joys and sorrows, and the joy was that as the situation in various places continued to erode recently, Long Live Lord seemed to have lost confidence in Zhou Yanru, and many things were to ask for his opinion, and it was no longer the time to obey Zhou Yanru's words.

This made him feel as if he had touched the throne of Shoufu, which was the pinnacle of the Daming people.

Sadly, he doesn't have good solutions to many problems, such as Denglai, which is now a muddy pond.

"Your Majesty, this time Denglai is going to give relief to the victims, distribute food and salary, and reward the soldiers with a million taels of silver, and the minister will only go to the household department to inquire, and the next autumn endowment will be at most able to allocate 200,000 taels of silver to Denglai." Wen Tiren did not answer this question directly, but nodded to the key.

Sure enough, when he heard about the silver money, Chongzhen's momentum was suppressed, yes, there are 30,000 elite soldiers, what about the salary, where to find hundreds of thousands of silver to support the tens of thousands of troops to fight for several months.

Chongzhen leaned back, in the end, there was still no money and food, because there was no money and food, so he couldn't help the victims, and he couldn't train the elite soldiers to resist Jiannu to quell the rebellion, but he had done his best, and the palace support should have been half of the earlier.

And the Liao salary and the millions of taels of silver that were waged are still clumsy, where to find the silver.

"Can I only agree with Zhao Lie's blackmail." Chongzhen was powerless.

At this time, he hated the so-called father and emperor who had no trace of affection for the country, and he really left a mess for their two brothers.

"Long live don't have to be too anxious, Zhao Lie's department is all elite soldiers recruited and trained by the family's wealth, that is, thousands of people have to have hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to build, that is, to hand over Denglai Dusi to him, Zhao Lie can still have millions of taels of silver to create tens of thousands of elite soldiers."

Wen Tiren said with a smile.

"Oh, how not." Chongzhen's face was better, he looked at Wen Tiren hopefully, he really hoped that this master of the second shop would give him good news.

"A pair of fine iron armor is calculated according to fifty taels of silver, two taels of silver for swords and guns, more than fifty taels of silver for horses, plus more than ten taels of silver for a year, thirty taels of silver for horses and soldiers, one soldier is more than one hundred and forty taels of silver, five thousand soldiers are seven or eight hundred thousand taels of silver, and fifty thousand soldiers are seven or eight million taels of silver."

Saying this, Wen Tiren smiled slightly.

"Yes, yes, it's impossible, it's impossible." Chongzhen was excited about the dragon case.

"The minister estimated that it was already very difficult for Zhao Lie to maintain these elite soldiers, and at most another three thousand people would be added, so it would not be a big problem." Wen Tiren comforted Chongzhen's fragile little heart this time.

There is no problem with his algorithm, but he would not have thought that the armor of the Broken Army because the cost of the new manufacturing method is only one percent of what he said, and the horses of Zhao Lie's department are now mainly based on the war horses bred by Shidao Horse Farm, so the cost is only three percent of what he said.

Chongzhen didn't know this, and when he heard Wen Tiren's words, he nodded frequently, Well, although this Wen Tiren is not as decisive as Zhou Yanru, he is better than being careful and cautious, and he is also a rare talent.

Zhou Yanru watched Wen Tiren's performance and was disgusted, but he still thought that Wen Tiren's gentle temperament was not the material for the main general, and the possibility of becoming the first assistant was almost none.

"Long live, even if Zhao Lie expands his army by 10,000, we can let him attack and harass all parts of southern Liaoning, this is also where he should make contributions." Zhou Yanru said with a smile.

Chongzhen immediately knew what Zhou Yanru meant, this was to make Jiannu and Zhao Lie both lose. He is not a young man who has just ascended the throne, and several years of experience have made him aware of the twists and turns in it.

"Shoufu, this is the words of the old man to seek the country." Chongzhen's mind is much better this time.

At least the anger and helplessness at the beginning have passed, and the successive setbacks in the past few years have also given him some experience, and he knows what kind of country is in his hands now, and he can't wait.

"It's just that the position of Denglai General Town is very important, and this is the position that can control the soldiers to suppress Zhao Lie." Zhou Yanru said.

Chongzhen nodded, indeed, the governor of Denglai controlled Zhao Lie's salary, but he couldn't give it all, and he couldn't not give it, or Zhao Lie would make trouble, so the general army of Denglai was indeed the first person to control Zhao Lie nearby, at least there were thousands of soldiers sitting in Denglai, which would definitely make Zhao Lie dare not move lightly.

"Your Majesty heard that Zhang Keda, the head of Denglai, was a hereditary military general in Nanjinggi, and he made great contributions in Gyeonggi, why not..." Zhou Yanru looked at the Son of Heaven.

"Well, the national disaster thinks of a good general, Zhang Keda not only has made many military exploits, but he is also from a noble family of Ming Xun, loyal and safe, and he is indeed a suitable candidate." This time, Chongzhen nodded.

He has a really good impression of Zhang Keda, the most important thing is that Zhang Keda is not those vulgar people in Liaozhen, but a generation of noble and loyal ministers, he is tired of Zu Dashou, Zhao Lie and others.

After the big thing was discussed, the three of them were relieved, and they had time to comment on the upcoming Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and other anti-thief heads, they hated these rebellions to the core, and now the rebellion was awarded one by one, which was also a great pleasure, but Zhao Lie's request for officials stirred up the good mood of the Son of Heaven, and now he can express his hatred.

After the two left, Wang Chengen hurriedly asked people to serve meals, but the Son of Heaven was angry and hadn't eaten for half a day, how could this be done.

After Chongzhen's mood recovered, he had a sweet meal, and he walked around the hall for a while, and his mood became good.

It's just that he suddenly sounded something, he asked Wang Chengen to urgently pass on the command of Jinyiwei to make Luo Yangxing, Jinyiwei must play a role, and this time he must beware of this Denglai Zhao Lie.

Chongzhen's stubborn feeling that something was wrong with Zhao Lie was faintly wrong, and he was always at ease, so he did not hesitate to use more means. (To be continued.) )
