After Zhu Shangwu learned of the situation in Liaodong, he immediately summoned the secretary of the military department, as well as the cabinet elders and others to discuss.

Although the imperial treasury is now empty, at this juncture, everyone still reached a consensus. That is, to quickly send troops and salaries to stabilize the situation in Liaodong, which has been eroded.

If Liaodong loses, then the capital will be in danger.

The Jurchens occupied Liaodong, so the capital would be directly exposed to the Jurchens' iron horses, and the Jurchens would come whenever they wanted, but it was really like a visit.

This kind of thing is not a good thing for Da Ming.

Once such a thing really happens, then Daming will be in danger, and the capital will not be able to guarantee anything.

Therefore, in the face of the war in Liaodong, the military department and the cabinet elders quickly reached an opinion, and there was no arguing for the first time. This made Zhu Shangwu feel very surprised, but he was also happy to see this kind of good thing.

Although Zhu Shangwu is very strange and is not very concerned about the government, he is still the supreme chosen person of the Ming Dynasty after all. If the Jurchens occupy Liaodong, then will he still be able to sit on the throne.

Of course, whether the Jurchens will occupy Liaodong or not is a question to be considered later. Now the Liaodong Express said very clearly, the Jurchens already had several large armies, with a strength of 40,000 or 50,000 troops, and were rushing in the direction of the capital.

If the Jurchens really arrived at the periphery of the capital, it would be very dangerous for the capital.

Zhu Shangwu didn't want to see such a thing happen, he also wanted to climb the peak on his 'art' road, so he had to solve this dangerous situation, only then could he feel at ease.

In addition to Zhu Shangwu, the elders didn't want such a thing to happen.

After all, they and their families live in the capital.

If the Jurchen soldiers were allowed to reach the capital, it would also be very dangerous for them and their families.

In case the Jurchens break through the city, then these people in the city. Whether he can save his life or not is two words.

Therefore, at this moment of crisis, they reached an unprecedented agreement, and there was no longer any prevarication and criticism of each other as in the court.

It can be seen that when things involve themselves, they can still let go of some interests and contradictions.

Although the big guys have reached an agreement, Zhu Shangwu is still facing this big problem. If this problem is not solved, then everything they discuss will be in the past.

That is, there is no military pay!

Yes. Although Zhu Shangwu is the monarch of the Ming Dynasty, he does not have any money in his hands.

This may seem strange to outsiders, but it is.

Zhu Shangwu didn't have any money in his hands, and Daming's income was controlled by the household department.

However, the household department has no money, because Daming's taxes have always been beyond their means.

In that case, they're in trouble.

If they want to solve the problem of Liaodong, they must first have money. If there is no money, there is no way to send enough troops to Liaodong to assist the army there.

Meantime. If you don't have money, you can't buy food, and if an army doesn't even have food, then it's not even going to war. This is simply unrealistic, so the problem of money must be solved.

And at the moment it is very urgent to help Liaodong. But it was also very important to recruit troops to defend the capital. After all, the urgent report made it clear that the Jurchens would come to the vicinity of the capital if they didn't do well.

If the capital does not have enough defensive troops, then in the face of the wolf-like Jurchens, won't the capital become an undefended city?

It's simply unimaginable.

Once it happens. The consequences will be dire.

And if the capital is surrounded, it will be inevitable to let the surrounding army and the general soldiers with long military power Qin Wang relieve the siege, but let these people come to the rescue of the capital. Once the war is over, you have to give them some good.

Speaking of which, you still need silver, a lot of silver.

Without money, nothing can be done.

But the problem is that what Daming lacks now is silver. Liaodong has not been paid for a year and a half, otherwise there would not have been a salary incident in Liaodong before the Jurchen invasion.

Originally, the bigwigs in the court and Zhu Shangwu thought that this matter could be resolved slowly.

But they never imagined that before this matter could be resolved, the Jurchens would invade.

This is not the time to admit bad luck, drink cold water and stuff your teeth.

You must know that the soldiers were originally very emotional, because they worked hard in the imperial court in Liaodong but did not give them the salary they deserved.

Under such circumstances, the Jurchens attacked Liaodong, so how could these soldiers really work hard.

Therefore, the defeat of the first battle of Wild Fox Ridge has become inevitable.

Of course, this is just wishful thinking on the part of Zhu Shangwu and the bigwigs in the DPRK and China, so they feel that in order to solve the affairs of Liaodong and stabilize the erosion situation in Liaodong, then they must come up with a sum of silver.

That is, to pay the arrears to the soldiers, and at the same time to give them more to boost their morale.

However, the words of the last Hubu waiter to attend the meeting broke a basin of cold water on everyone's heads.

That is, the household department only has 130,000 taels of silver now.

And this year's taxes and salt taxes have not yet arrived in the capital. In terms of time, it will take at least another three months to get money.

But in three months, God knows what will become of Liaodong.

Therefore, this problem must be solved immediately.

As the emperor, Zhu Shangwu can be said to have no worries about food and clothing, and he has never worried about money since he was born.

Even every time he went to the court, the ministers would say that there was a disaster, where there was a flood, and where there were displaced people, when the court allocated funds for disaster relief, the cabinet elders and household officials would fight each other, and he didn't have to worry about it at all.

Therefore, Zhu Shangwu has always lived a very chic and comfortable life.

But this time it's different.

The naked reality of the problem was placed in front of him waiting for him to solve.

Silver!

Silver!

Zhu Shangwu, who has never felt that silver is so important, and has never been worried about silver, is really big this time.

Fortunately, in the end, a certain elder's proposal solved the problem. At least it can be solved in a short time.

This made Zhu Shangwu breathe a sigh of relief.

In the end, several orders were issued, followed by a series of fast horses galloping towards Liaodong.

The officials in the capital also began to work intensively one by one, preparing for the war in Liaodong and the war that is very likely to break out in the capital.

As for Zhao Hongyu, who was still waiting for news from the Li Fan Academy, it was obvious that no one cared about their existence at this time.

After all, in the eyes of the Ming officials, no matter how important the envoys from the small Fanbang are, they cannot be as important as the things in Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty today.

Therefore, the Li Fan Yuan has long forgotten Zhao Hongyu, a visitor from the Americas.

Even Master Wang went there every day to inquire about the news. But what I got was mostly perfunctory.

Regarding this situation, Zhao Hongyu and Wang Fuzi are not very clear-

Dividing Line –

The palace is in a hurry, and Zhao Hongyu is living a good life in his newly bought house.

The people in Beijing were panicked, and the people were terrified.

Now there is news from outside, some say that Liaodong has been occupied by the Jurchens, and some say that the Jurchen cavalry has been seen in Tongzhou.

Wang Fuzi also inquired about the news outside, but he also felt that these news were not very reliable.

And the butler of the military department Shangshu who can provide accurate information. I don't know what Lu Dao has been doing recently, and it's rare to see him anymore.

Therefore, there is no way for Wang Fuzi to obtain accurate and true information.

Unlike the panicked people outside, Zhao Hongyu's small life is very comfortable.

A big house with six in and six out. Zhao Hongyu is absolutely not mixed up in modern times.

But now, he really has such a residence of his own, and the whole house is antique, which is different from the clamshell of later generations.

Inside the whole house. Zhao Hongyu bought a lot of servants, and seventy percent of these servants were maids.

As for why he bought so many maids, Zhao Hongyu was also a little helpless. Because it was all suggested by Emma and Sarah.

Sara lacked maids by her side, and it was unrealistic that the knights couldn't always follow her.

Emma has Moxican's maids by her side, but the problem is that Emma also has a great interest in girls from the East.

Therefore, in such a situation, Zhao Hongyu could only buy so many maids.

Fortunately, the whole house is large enough to accommodate so many people.

Even, it does not seem crowded as well.

And these maids bought by Zhao Hongyu looked very happy to see that they were bought by such a rich, good-tempered, and young master.

After all, compared to being bought back by those bad old men, Zhao Hongyu, a young man, made them even more willing in their hearts.

These maids were bought from the people in the capital, and they were carefully trained by the people before they were bought, so they knew the etiquette very well.

This is very different from the girl bought from the homeless.

Just like Emma, she felt very comfortable with the service of the Oriental maids by her side.

Little Emma thinks they are too smart and considerate and empathetic.

Zhao Hongyu's side also had a few maids who were arranged by Emma.

At this moment, the maids who are busy clearing the snow in the yard are selected by Emma.

These maids are not very old, they are all about eighteen or nineteen years old.

While sweeping the snow in the courtyard, they peeked at the owner who was lying on a chaise longue and holding a small stove.

The corners of many sisters' eyes are filled with a rich spring color.

However, Zhao Hongyu didn't care about these at all.

"Lao Wang! Tell them to go down and let everyone get ready. Once the Jurchens really come to the city, we will have to work hard. ”

Zhao Hongyu thought about it, and he felt that he couldn't be alone.

Since he has come to this era, of course he also wants to personally touch the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry to see if they are really as he said, the Jurchens are not satisfied with ten thousand, and they are invincible? (To be continued......)
