Hong Chengchou asked again: "Is it that the gate will rot with a bang?" Didn't send troops to resist? ”

"The tiger squat cannon of the Ming army is really powerful, and the gate is indeed rotten with a bang." Boheto said with a disgraced face: "Although I ordered people to resist, the phalanx of the Ming army is really like a hedgehog, and it can't be approached at all." ”

Hong Chengchou stroked his beard and said, "The cavalry can't rush over?" ”

"If you point a stick at a horse, the horse won't hit it, and they will have a spear." Bo and Tuo were distraught, and they didn't remember to be respectful in their words.

Abatai slapped the handrail again, which made his son restrain a little.

Hong Chengchou also had no intention of being serious with a hairy child, and asked again: "The phalanx is not fast, and if you shoot arrows, ......."

"Their phalanx has firecrackers."

"The Ming army ran for 200 miles, blasted open the gate in one fell swoop, and then could it form a phalanx, calmly reload and release guns?" Hong Chengchou said a little incredulously.

Boheto nodded, "That's true." ”

Hong Chengchou was speechless.

He has always believed that the Xiaozi battalion that surrounded his camp was the elite of the Ming army and the real descendant of the East Palace. I didn't expect the East Palace to have such an elite army in Cangzhou, how old is this crown prince? There is such a ravine!

If the elite soldiers of the East Palace are all in Beizhi, then why did Shanxi lose Taiyuan again? Could it be that there are also elites of the Ming army there? When did the elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty become so worthless!

Hong Chengchou was extremely speechless about this.

If there had been such an elite guarding Songshan in the first place, how could he have become a prisoner?

It's all about luck!

……

"Wu Sangui is anyway!" Chongzhen may be the last person to know this important thing. But fortunately, this was told to him by the crown prince, which is much better than reading the newspaper in the future.

Zhu Cihong's anyway to Wu Sangui used a historical figure as a metaphor: Li Ling of the Han Dynasty.

Li Ling is the grandson of Li Guang, a famous general of the Western Han Dynasty. In the second year of the Tianhan Dynasty, he was ordered by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to go out to conquer the Xiongnu, led 5,000 infantry and tens of thousands of Xiongnu to fight in Junji Mountain. Cooperate with the Han army inside and outside to defeat the Xiongnu. It is a pity that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not know the ambition of Li Ling, and razed his three clans, causing him to completely sever relations with the Han Dynasty.

In the eyes of later historians, this history was mostly sympathetic to Li Ling and complained that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was in a hurry. Of course, this does not rule out Sima Qian's influence in it. Because Sima Qian was punished by the palace for his friend Li Ling to speak.

Before Chongzhen encountered this kind of thing, he also felt that Li Ling was very pity, who knows if he will become the second Huo Quai? However, once it happened to him, Chongzhen could understand Emperor Wu of Han's "rush".

Bear the burden of humiliation, anyone can say Xu Tu's repeated words, how to tell whether it is loyal or speculative on the wall?

For example, this Wu Sangui, the crown prince should be very respectful of him, but he did not forget to give him the title of King of Guangning when the country was broken, and he was criticized for "indiscriminately rewarding famous people". And now he also compares Wu Sangui to Li Ling.

But others say that the Wu father and son are really taking refuge in Dongyu!

If it is confirmed that Wu Sangui is indeed a traitor, wouldn't the crown prince be hit hard? Isn't it going to be the laughing stock of the world? Isn't it the same as setting up an altar to worship Hong Chengchou back then?

Chongzhen didn't want his son to repeat the mistakes of the past and become a laughing stock for centuries, so he wrote to Zhu Cihong to warn him, and even used himself as a negative teaching material. This letter was not issued in the form of an explicit decree, everything was like a loving father, and only the close eunuchs in the palace were sent to send it.

After Zhu Cihong got the letter, he was even a little moved. But in the face of Xi'an City at your fingertips. and fifty or sixty thousand new forces, and at the same time, they also have to bear the risk of Wu Sangui's repeated - this risk is very small. Especially Wu Xiang is still in Jinan. According to Zhu Cihong's logic, of course, he chose to accept Wu Sangui, no matter how big the opposition is, is it comparable to the life of a soldier?

What's more, what is the "Imperial Circular" and the Cultural Management Department of the Metropolitan Procuratorate? It is precisely in response to this situation that the weapon of public opinion was born!

Can the uproar of the people prevail over the mouthpiece of the state? Able to defeat the iron fist of the state controlling the mouthpiece?

In October, Chongzhen finally got a reply from the crown prince. and the good news of the recovery of Tianjin.

The reason why it has been delayed for so long is because the front-line army is too busy. After the recovery of Tianjin, the second battalion of the guards was expanded to a divisional establishment, and all logistics, training, and officer promotion required the crown prince's nod at the end.

Of course, Zhu Cihong can't bow down in person, but even if he casually takes a small question and takes a look. It also takes a lot of time. What's more, a question will bring more questions, and it will take more time to express opinions and instructions on the issue.

No matter how well the procedures of the East Palace system are set, if this kind of thing is completely let go, it will lose control over its subordinates. Zhu Cihong never believed that if someone sets the rules, others will follow the rules obediently. Therefore, he must not only monitor the process, but also play the role of inspiration and spur to ensure that his influence is not retreating.

"Your Highness has just stayed up for two nights, and it hurts too much." Lu Suyao said: "Let's take the carriage." ”

After recovering Tianjin, Zhu Cihong naturally had to go to see Xiao Donglou, otherwise he would not be able to show that he attached importance to him. Following the first division all the way will inevitably make people have the heart of separation.

"The road is not repaired, and the carriage is still too tired to sit in." Zhu Cihong said: "It's refreshing to simply ride a horse." ”

Besides, is it okay to stay up late and work? Don't say that you didn't pay attention to your body when you were at the peak of your body in your previous life, that is, when you were studying, how could you sleep two o'clock ago? Now those officials are used to being lazy, and working eight hours a day is considered harsh, and adding four or five hours of work is like the end of the world and the world will not be able to survive.

Let's take a look at the high school students in the future, if you want to get into a good university, how can you only study for 12 hours a day?

However, after Wanli, the officialdom has degenerated too much. In the era of Zhang Juzheng, which official dared to arrive late and leave early? If it had been earlier, the officials would have had to live in the yamen and take a vacation before they could go home. It was only after Wanli had a stalemate with the courtiers that the officials gradually became unscrupulous, and even the basic commuting time could not be guaranteed.

In the Chongzhen Dynasty, under the emperor's diligence, it improved slightly, but it no longer had the rigor of the early Ming Dynasty. Ten years after Chongzhen, the officialdom was as lazy as it was.

Some people think that arriving late and leaving early and deserting at work are not a big deal, but this phenomenon is a barometer of the rise and fall of a dynasty. If the officials, as the operators of state power, have no intention of official business and only want to kill time and eat, then the dynasty has lost its vitality and has become a walking corpse.

"Your Highness, Your Minister...... Recently, I have been feeling unwell...... Some are not very convenient for horseback riding. Lu Suyao blushed with shame, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito.

"Well, then you don't go." Zhu Cihong said: "Pay attention to rest. ”

"Your Highness, but there are still so many things to ......" Lu Suyao thought about the work at hand, and didn't dare to leave Zhu Cihong half a step. Once separated, you can't afford it in the future.

"Don't challenge your body, otherwise you won't be able to make up for it in the future." Zhu Cihong said: "By the way, you stay in Zhending to make a welfare plan: all female officials receive fourteen eggs every month." ”

Lu Suyao looked at this "unemployed" crown prince in surprise, both moved and a little funny. She said, "Your Highness, if you don't have so much......

"Two eggs a day to replenish your body." Zhu Cihong said: "Outsiders may not know about female officials, but you and I both know that the merits of female officials are not inferior to men." And this is also a benefit that should be based on different physiological conditions. ”

"Yes, thank you, Your Highness." Lu Suyao hurriedly agreed, but said in her heart: How can anyone come to Red for seven days? It's only four or five days.

She thought that it was her task to teach the crown prince "personnel", and she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Is it to serve the crown prince directly, or to enter the spring palace?

At the beginning of the year in Jinan, it was rumored in the palace that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was going to get married, but later it was over, saying that the Holy Son of Heaven thought that he had to pay tribute to his ancestors in the Taimiao. At present, the restoration of Shenjing is already visible, and my own work cannot be delayed!

"That's right!" Zhu Cihong suddenly raised his voice, unable to hide the joy of jumping in it: "This year, Luxi and Yuxi have reported bumper harvests, and office expenses can be slightly relaxed." ”

"Yes!" Lu Suyao was also sincerely happy.

After years of natural and man-made disasters, there is now a bumper harvest, which is really great news.

"I heard that this is because His Royal Highness was originally the vice monarch, and the position should be in the east, and the color is green. Shandong was Qingzhou in ancient times, and when His Royal Highness arrived in Shandong, it was naturally the people of Tianshun, and the heavens and people returned. Lu Suyao said with a smile.

"This ...... Well, that's a good point, let those tabloids in Jiangnan mention it more. Zhu Cihong himself has no interest in this kind of sycophancy, but it does not prevent it from being used as a propaganda tool. The idea of loyalty to the monarch is now being attacked by the people-oriented, and even embarked on a pathological path, that is: anyone who dares to scold the emperor is a true gentleman!

Of course, the emperor has something to scold, but to this extent, I'm afraid it's too irrational.

Especially in times of war, ideological unity is still very much needed.

What's more, Tian Cunshan sent a secret report from Nanjing, saying that someone in Nanjing Shilin was secretly contacting the feudal town, which was quite suspicious.

According to the old tradition, Jinyiwei and Dongchang did not go out of Beijing, and the local espionage work was responsible for the inspection and envoy department, the imperial history patrol, and the town guard eunuch. Nowadays, the heart of the eunuch Wang in Nanjing is still quite effective, and he can always win the products of the south of the Yangtze River, although it is not important, but it is also very beneficial.

However, in terms of relationship, Wang Zhixin is still the emperor's personal person, and he can't get too close to the crown prince, and Tian Cunshan, who was sent to Jiangnan to run a newspaper, does not have this problem. Although he does not have any official status, as a lieutenant sent by the crown prince, he has such huge political resources in his hands, so it is natural that someone will gather around him.

This kind of pure folk identity is more suitable for Tian Cunshan to understand the people's feelings, especially his ally is the famous rich man in Jiangnan Shilin - Ruan Dacheng. (To be continued......)
