Later, Jin went south, and the news was soon sent to Beizhili through a special channel.

As the messenger of peace, he obviously came to negotiate peace, but he launched an attack in the process of peace, which is simply a kind of contempt for the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, it is naturally impossible for this messenger to live. However, others are not stupid, and not long after going south, he went around and returned to Liaodong, after all, his original purpose was actually to deceive the defenders of Liaodong, not to really negotiate peace.

At least, this is not yet the stage of peace negotiations.

As a result, the legendary peace envoy did not arrive for a long time, but the news of Houjin's southward journey came to Chongzhen's imperial case first.

"Everyone, Houjin went south, and now I am afraid that he has surrounded Dalinghe City. Dalinghe City, as an important fortress for our side, can't be destroyed by those barbarians anymore! So, how to fight, how to rescue Dalinghe City as quickly as possible, everyone should discuss it carefully, and remember that everyone only has one morning. After all, according to the information sent back by Sun Ge Lao, now that Zu Dashou is only afraid that he will be surrounded in Dalinghe City, we may even be half an hour late, and he will die. Chongzhen rarely had a little kung fu to nourish his spirit, and calmly said to the ministers with the battle report.

The next thing is naturally to enter the garbage time, in fact, this is the key to Chongzhen's calmness, after all, he knows that it is useless to be excited, and it is all over when he enters this time.

The imperial court completely became two factions, one was the Donglin Party and the other was the non-Donglin Party. In fact, there are many factions in the non-Donglin Party, and even the former eunuch party is also in it, but for the common interests, especially they have also figured out the emperor's meaning, so as long as it is supported by the Donglin Party, they will oppose it unconditionally, and they are bound to fight against the Donglin Party to the end.

Now the meaning of the Donglin Party is that it can go to the rescue, but where are the soldiers deployed, and where is the food and salary allocated? The treasury has no money, at least a lot of this year's taxes have not been collected, and the interesting thing is that peace has been restored in some places, but the taxes that could not be transported north under the pretext of banditry have still not been paid.

dignified, this year's spring endowment, actually only received one million taels of silver. And just last autumn, Zhang Hongbin's Xi'an Mansion collected more than 1.3 million taels of silver in taxes. And this tax is still a few times when many tax items are exempted.

One million taels, not to mention the military, just say that the officials will be paid some salaries, and at the same time Liaodong will be paid, and there will be no money in an instant, and there will even be a certain amount of arrears. As for others, such as people's livelihood, disaster relief, military industry, education and other miscellaneous items, they can't invest a penny. For places where there is a disaster, the imperial court can only let the local officials be responsible for treatment and settlement. In a word, if the treasury has no money, it will either be out of the treasury!

In the eyes of the civil and military officials and the people of the world, the emperor's internal money is actually like this: gold and silver are less than the number of days, and they are piled up like a hill. All kinds of treasures are scattered in it, and each one is priceless. The emperor wanted to lose the family, so he spent all the money to buy a lion to play, but the next day the money was made up again.

In the eyes of the emperor's children, the real situation of his own internal funds is like this: the projects run by the royal family, the supervision of the eunuchs do not contribute to the work, and the annual profit is constantly declining, and the excuse is still very open, that is, local banditry, which directly affects the local economy and purchasing power. Walking into the inner house, it was empty, and a gust of wind blowing from nowhere passed by, it was indescribably desolate.

No one knew that under Emperor Chongzhen's bright yellow robe, he was wearing half-worn clothes. No one knew that he ate three dishes and one soup at every meal, and vegetarian food was the main ingredient. There was only one candle lit in the study, because Lang was too expensive. The palace, which had been richly decorated, was now much empty, because he had to sell some of his treasures in exchange for a so-called 'treasury'.

However, no one knew, so Chongzhen was forced to do so.

The meaning of the Donglin Party now is very clear, it is okay to go to war, and the emperor can use internal funds, and send as many troops as he wants. If it is too troublesome, Liaodong also has enough troops, so it may be enough to change their equipment, especially to arm them with more magic firearms.

It was not the intention of the Donglin Party, but it was to let Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou, who went to suppress the bandits, lead their troops north to support the Daling River, so that they could act cheaply and make up for the military spending problem appropriately. The eyes of the non-Donglin party are very vicious, and they seem to see through the emperor's mind that he does not plan to spend money, so the construction given is the most economical. Of course, it is also the most inhumane.

Perhaps, in their opinion, these ant people have received the favor of the Ming Dynasty for more than 300 years, and it is time to sacrifice. As long as they sacrifice more than 300,000 yuan and use their wealth to fill the funds needed for the army's promotion, then the food and salary can naturally be easily solved. As for the population, as long as the world is peaceful, and the population will go up again after ten or eight years of recuperation.

The Donglin Party also grasped this point and criticized the non-Donglin Party inhumans; The non-Donglin Party fought back, asking where the Donglin Party would come from?

The two sides quarreled like this, and the entire court became no different from the vegetable market. I don't know when it started, the court is like this, Chongzhen has been the emperor for three or four years, every day, if the qi cultivation is not in place, I am afraid that I will be so angry that I will be bleeding and hanging up.

It can be said that this kung fu of nourishing qi is still tuned by this group of guys. Taught out.

Chongzhen shook his body, the clothes inside were old, and when he was growing his body again, it was a little tight and uncomfortable to wear. Thinking of the remarks of the non-Donglin faction, thinking about himself since he became the emperor, it is indeed a little too much to toss himself.

Think about your father, think about your brothers and ancestors, which one didn't enjoy the emperor's office in the dark, and never asked about political affairs. I was bitter, and I finally planned to clean up the universe and Zhongxing Daming, but why was it completely different from what I imagined?

"Come on, how many guns and artillery have the Shenji Battalion built recently?" Chongzhen knew that he should say something.

"Your Majesty, now the Shenji Battalion has built more than 6,000 guns and fifty franc cannons." The Ministry of Industry is still listed.

"Immediately send someone to send this batch of guns and artillery to Liaodong to Sun Ge Lao. When he receives it, he'll know what to do. Okay, that's it, let Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng give me a little more serious, and strive to exterminate those annoying rogues faster. Chongzhen finally made a decision.

Since the emperor has decided, then naturally there is nothing to fight about. Everyone can see that Chongzhen's choice is completely biased towards some Donglin parties. But the non-Donglin party can also see that the emperor is not disgusted with their construction. If you don't do it, it's just because the young man is kind and can't bear to kill too much. This is Chongzhen's immature expression, as a monarch, you must know how to make trade-offs, but it doesn't matter, such an emperor is easy to figure out his thoughts.

Only by being able to figure out the emperor's mind clearly can he be invincible in the imperial court. This is known to anyone who is a Jingguan.

The rest was easy, more than 6,000 guns and 30 Franc cannons were transported to Liaodong, and then unwittingly turned into 2,000 guns and 5 Franc cannons were transported to Sun Chengzong's hands. Looking at so many supplies, what else could Sun Chengzong do except smile bitterly?

At this moment, he couldn't investigate whether it was that rolling calf who was so bold that he was actually swallowed by this kind of divine weapon.

Before this, the news that the Jin soldiers were going south and besieging Dalinghe City had been implemented, and Zu Dashou was also surrounded inside.

Zu Dashou was faced with two choices at that time, one was to break through to the south, and the other was to wait for reinforcements in the city. The former had to fight with Houjinye, and the latter did not have enough supplies. Earlier, Zu Dashou also broke through three times, but all of them failed. At this moment, he has no intention of continuing to break through, but just hopes that reinforcements can come over earlier.

However, the two batches of reinforcements before and after were defeated by Houjin.

Now it is the third batch, but it is led by Sun Chengzong, three days after the arrival of the firecracker, 2,000 people were specially allocated to practice the shooting method, and when they were proficient, they were all transferred to the firecracker, and then entered the battlefield with Houjin for the first time.

Of course, five Franc cannons were also brought over.
