Chapter 0420: Four Hundred Thousand Displaced People
In the emperor's official hall of the academy, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen sat there smoking alone, he lay on his back on his dragon chair, looking at the cigarette butts of cigars, flickering on the fire, the indoor fire did not give the emperor much warmth, but he felt cold from the head to the feet, such a night, not lonely, but afraid!
The light of the cigarette butt made Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen feel lazy! He rarely feels like this, but there are too many inexplicable things that will always make people lazy unconsciously!
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen woke up and restrained himself and snuffed out the cigarette butts! It's like snuffing out his enemies! His enemy will always be himself!
It is very common for a person to have to take over the family business, and the most important thing is that the business seems to have really come to an end!
When Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen said those words to Wang Chengen, he was calm, but who can predict tomorrow's events accurately? If it weren't for the last resort, Hyundai, he didn't want to go back, although there were still many people there who cared about him and the materials he wanted to obtain.
Leaning on the back of the chair, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen fell asleep unconsciously, at this moment, he felt a little tired for the first time, the civil uprising in Shaanxi, the problems of Mongolia, the problems of North Korea, the problems of all parts of the Ming Dynasty, it seems that there is no problem to be solved except for Beizhili, he is exhausted by these unsolvable problems!
Early in the morning, Wang Chengen hurriedly came to the emperor, Xu Guowei said softly, "The emperor didn't sleep until the second half of the night last night, and he slept on the dragon chair, and the servants didn't dare to alarm the long-lived lord." He covered the emperor with a blanket and asked the people below to make the fire prosperous. ”
Wang Chengen nodded, knowing that the emperor at this time was the most irritable time, but now the book at hand is too much to do, so he has to report it! I still went in hard.
"Hooray." Wang Chengen called softly.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen opened his sleepy eyes, the blanket slipped to the ground, and sat up vigilantly, he knew that Wang Chengen came to find him at this time, there was definitely something. "Say!"
"The gang in Liaodong made a move. They put more than 400,000 people outside the gate into the pass, and the Jimen garrison did not have the emperor's holy decree and did not know what to do, and the people and the garrison grabbed food. There are too many people. I can't control it at all. Due to hunger, the Jimen garrison burned and looted the fire, and the entire garrison on the three sides was scattered. I'm on my way to Kyoto now. Wang Chengen briefly told what happened.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen only felt dizzy for a while, no matter how strong his martial arts practice was, even if he could be invincible in the world, he was an emperor! He can't solve these unsolvable puzzles with the strength of one person! Last night, I was still thinking that Beizhili was stable! Right now!
"Are those people in Liaodong really going to rebel? What do they want to do? Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen clenched his fists vigorously and stood up with a shaky wage!
Wang Chengen has not seen the emperor like this for a long time, knowing that the emperor is angry and attacking, fortunately it is a young man, if he is older, his heart will definitely not be able to stand it, "Long live Lord, don't worry, the old slave wanted to press it, but Long Live Lord said that when encountering urgent government and military affairs, you must report it as soon as possible, and the old slave did not dare to delay, the old slave felt that there must be a road before the car arrived at the mountain, don't worry." ”
Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen brought the cold tea on the table to drink, but was stopped by Wang Chengen, poured the cold tea, and replaced it with warm tea in the teapot.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen took a sip of tea and stabilized his feelings, "The people outside the gate were forced to be introduced by those people in Liaodong?" ”
Wang Chengen nodded, "There is nothing wrong with it, otherwise who is willing to abandon their homeland, eighty percent This is the idea that Zu Dashou's group thought, they know that there is a shortage of food in the capital, this is to add fuel to the fire!" ”
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen sighed, "There are more than 10,000 garrisons in Jimen!" All in disarray? Won't they all run to Shaanxi to be bandits? Or did they also follow the people to Beijing? According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, leaving the station without permission is a capital crime! Did those civilians have weapons? ”
Wang Chengen also sighed, "The soldiers will not follow the people, they should all fled, this group of people are all defenseless tenants, they originally rented the military fields on the border, and did not take weapons, the old slave is only afraid that this group of people not only has the eyes and ears of those people in Liaodong, but also the eyes and ears of Jiannu, there must be someone in the middle to make these people rush to the capital!" Otherwise, let the Royal Guards dispatch and kill? ”
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen calmed down, thinking nervously about this heavy change, this change is definitely not smaller than Jiannu's attack on Jingshi! Economic collapse is the biggest disaster! This is about the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people! "Don't worry, I haven't thought about it, but I give you a premise, no matter what the circumstances, the army of the Ming Dynasty cannot indiscriminately kill unarmed people! This is not anti-people! They're just looking for a place to eat! Liaodong's trick is really vicious enough, this is to put me to death! ”
Wang Chengen's eyes turned red, "Your Majesty, but, if you don't kill it, once so many people get close to the capital, or enter the capital, the consequences will be unimaginable!" It is estimated that the farmers and large households in the suburbs of Beijing will not be able to escape this catastrophe, which is even more terrible than the plague! ”
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen certainly knew what it meant to have more than 400,000 displaced people! He originally had the intention of dismantling the military fields outside the Guan, this Guanwai Tuntian, in fact, is a superficial article, completely to help Jiannu in farming, when it is time to harvest, Jiannu and the Ming army rushed to take the grain in the field, two-thirds of it will be snatched away by Jiannu, and if you can't beat it, you can't Tuntian!
"I estimate that the people in Liaodong are waiting for me to send food and silver to these people, and then pacify them back to Guanwai, so that they have caused a successful impact on the garrisons on the three sides and completely paralyzed the garrison system on the three sides, so I have to reuse the people in Liaodong and rely on the people in Liaodong! In addition, it can also allow these displaced people to collapse the entire economy of Beijing, and also help them save a lot of winter food in vain, which is really a strategy to kill two birds with one stone! Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen analyzed it very comprehensively, and hammered his leg fiercely.
Wang Chengen wiped his tears, "What the emperor said is not wrong at all, if you don't kill these homeless people, then you can only let their treacherous plan succeed, because we can't let them stay permanently, so we can only give them relief silver and food!" People have a local complex, and after getting things and having enough food and drink, they still have to go back to Guanwai. (To be continued......)
