Chapter 50: Request for Reinforcement (Subscription, Collection)

Thinking of this, Zhou Yanru thought that instead of letting the emperor personally make an order, it was better to take the initiative to ask for it, so that he could please the emperor!

In fact, Zhou Yanru was more afraid of fighting the Qing army than anyone else, but he had to send it! He had no choice but to give Chongzhen a chapter, pretending to be for the country, but the plan in his heart was that once he unified the army, he would cower and not fight against the Qing army, as long as he could do nothing, as for the credit, he could pretend to be and falsely report!

Chongzhen couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Zhou Yanru's excerpts, since Zhou Yanru was willing to serve him, it was not in vain to appoint him as the first assistant again! Chongzhen agreed. But even if Zhou Yanru leads troops to fight, his ability is still very poor, all generals are untrustworthy, Zhang Biwu is really a chess piece that must be used!

Since Zhang Biwu had resettled 100,000 refugees in a few months, he placed the orphans in orphanage camps, and selected 3,000 people from the 100,000 refugees to serve as practitioners. Originally, there were 3,000 practitioners, but now it has suddenly increased to 6,000 people, and then 1,000 and the original 4,000 soldiers make up for 5,000.

I heard that there were more than 10,000 people in the orphans' gathering place! These orphans are all likely to become Zhang Biwu's soldiers. In this way, Zhang Biwu's people have grown a lot. He now has at least more than 10,000 troops, and the number of his orphan camp is still unknown, his strength has increased too much!

But now he has only come to fight with 5,000 people, and asked Chongzhen to allocate more than 10,000 horses from Hou Sui to him? Isn't this about seizing military power? Doesn't it prove that he is disgruntled?

If Zhang Biwu had a heavy army, he wouldn't be able to arrest him as casually as he did before! Just like Zuo Liangyu and others, the court also has a lot of concerns! If you let him fight against the Qing army now. Isn't his strength going to soar qualitatively? At that time, Zhang Biwu will be difficult to control!

Chongzhen thought of Zhang Biwu and used Li Zicheng's disaster in Henan as a reason, so that the tax was only sent to the imperial court a quarter. The entire Henan region. In the past, it was said that Yudong was not broken, but now Yudong is not good. Only Zhang Biwu's jurisdiction is like an oasis in the desert, thriving. If he was asked to pay taxes, he could have paid them, but he didn't! There are also many prevarications. Not only that, but they also need food and wages!

Jinyiwei and Dongchang even found out that Zhang Biwu did not collect taxes in his jurisdiction, he had suppressed thieves for many years, and he had robbed a lot of wealth in previous wars. It's enough for him to raise soldiers, but he still asks the court for food and salary, and he doesn't have to worry about the difficulties of the court! It's disgusting! Not a loyal servant at all!

Chongzhen recalled that Zhang Biwu rescued 100,000 people in Kaifeng, and then he resettled them, perhaps he originally wanted the land and the people. No matter how hard Chongzhen worked hard to salvage, he didn't get much silver, but cheapened Zhang Biwu, allowing him to occupy an extra county, and 100,000 more people and a county. The strength has increased dramatically.

Zhang Biwu's loyalty to the imperial court is unguaranteed, and once he is strong, will he become a dangerous figure like Wang Mang, Dong Zhuo, An Lushan, etc.?

Chongzhen was worried about this, and he was a thousand to Zhang Biwu. 10,000 worried.

At this time, Chongzhen saw a report that King Feng had been captured by the Tartars and martyred. Each southern invasion of the Tartars will come for half a year. They are in the Ming territory, as if they are in their own home.

When I think about it. Chongzhen's face was dull, and his face was flushed. If it is recorded in the future, how should it be written? There must be a chance that he will be written as an incompetent king! No way! No matter how hateful Zhang Biwu is! The Qing army is even more hateful!

Repeated southern invasions, repeated arrogance, and repeated nobody's eyes, all of which make it difficult to swallow! Now only Zhang Biwu can win many victories in the confrontation with the Qing army, who else can he use without him? Even if he wins, then the monarch who appoints him will also have a good reputation as a wise person, and he will also have a good reputation.

Chongzhen thought about it and decided that in the end, he would let Zhang Biwu lead the troops. At the same time, he also pinned his hopes on Zhou Yanru's military exploits to be greater than Zhang Biwu's, don't let him down! Against the Qing army, the Ming army must sweep away the decline and win the victory over the Qing army, and the Qing army must not be allowed to continue to be arrogant.

With a wave of Chongzhen's imperial pen, he agreed to Zhang Biwu and let Zhang Biwu lead his troops to battle. As for the more than 10,000 people and horses brought back by Hou Sui, he was thinking about how to prevent these 10,000 people from becoming Zhang Biwu's people. Of course, the prison army must not be lost, and Du Xun is known as a soldier in the inner palace.

Chongzhen also asked the inner palace to select young and strong eunuchs to come out to practice, which was to let Du Xun be fully responsible. When Chongzhen went to the coal mountain to visit and inspect the results of the eunuchs' exercises, he was very satisfied.

It's just that Chongzhen didn't know that Du Xun didn't train eunuchs well, but just received the salary and silver, and at the same time pleased Chongzhen. Those so-called strong military capabilities themselves are the flag schools of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, because Du Xun borrowed these human rights through Dongchang and Jinyiwei to deal with it, which did not succeed in currying favor with Chongzhen, and made Chongzhen believe it!

Chongzhen decided to let Du Xun be the supervisor and go to monitor Zhang Biwu, not only that, but Hou Sui had to send another person to show that Hou Sui was still controlling the army. Don't let Hou Sui's army be turned into his by Zhang Biwu.

Hou Sui's most famous son, Hou Fangyu, is in Jiangnan, and only another son, Hou Fangxia, is still in Shangqiu, so it is better to summon him, if he can assist Du Xun well in supervising the army, then his father will be safe.

Chongzhen thought of this, so he immediately went to do it, what he wanted was to firmly catch the soldiers and prevent them from becoming other people's people.

Princess Kunxing heard the news that Zhang Biwu was going to lead the troops again, and she couldn't help but run to Chongzhen excitedly, wanting Chongzhen to show her Zhang Biwu.

Chongzhen looked at Princess Kunxing, his mind was spinning, thinking about whether to really let Princess Kunxing meet Zhang Biwu. Princess Kunxing begged again and again, but Chongzhen threw up her sleeves and left.

Princess Kunxing was even more angry, she didn't know why her father would treat her like this? It shouldn't be!

Princess Kunxing cried outside the palace gate again, she cried very sadly and sadly. Although Chongzhen left with a straight face, he still loves his daughter very much, and now when he hears his daughter's crying, he worries his heart one after another!

Chongzhen sighed, Wang Chengen came over, and called softly: "Your Majesty ......" Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "Okay!" Go ahead! Tell her that I can let her go to comfort! Meet Zhang Biwu! And I thought of one thing, I asked the princess to comfort Zhang Biwu in person, can Zhang Biwu not try his best to kill the thief? I think the whole army will be shaken too! ”

Wang Chengen kowtowed: "The emperor is wise!" Chongzhen motioned for Wang Chengen to go down.

When the news that Du Xun wanted to supervise Zhang Biwu reached Gao Qiqian's ears, Gao Qiqian hurriedly went to Du Xun, so that Du Xun could not let Zhang Biwu win. No matter what, he has to stop him, as long as Zhang Biwu loses all the people and horses, the emperor has no worries, and he will punish him as he wants.

Du Xun continued to respond to Gao Qiqian, remembering that when Chongzhen suddenly got up to watch the eunuch he was in charge of training, if it wasn't for Gao Qiqian and others to help him, he would have died! And the potential power in the palace is not weak, everyone is on an equal footing, which can't be offended!

Du Xun thought that since he went to supervise the army, the most important thing for him was to make money, and making money was the right way! As for helping you raise your potential and make Zhang Biwu defeated, it depends on the actual situation.

As for Hou Fangxia is just a son-in-law, if you ask him to lead troops to fight, he can't! He's still afraid! Handed over everything to Zhang Biwu, and he felt very relaxed. Naturally, the real power will inevitably fall into the hands of Zhang Biwu!

At this time, Zhang Biwu led his army to the city of Beijing. He was very excited to have more than 10,000 horses under his command! The maximum number of men and horses he has commanded is 9,000 people, and that is the time he went deep into the Qing Realm, and now he can command more than 10,000 people, and he has never commanded them! How can you not be excited?

Although Chongzhen still asked Du Xun to supervise the army, and the eunuch would be somewhat constrained by coming to supervise the army, Zhang Biwu was not afraid at all! And Zhang Biwu is a powerful person, and now that he has enough troops, he is not afraid of the imperial court to punish crimes again! No matter how cautious you are, you can't be cautious, once you want to add to the crime, why is there no word?

Don't talk about being a man, but ask to be worthy of your conscience and your heart! That's enough! Since you want to defeat the Qing army, then don't pay attention to Du Xun and do what you want!

Zhang Biwu thought of this, he completely understood, he would do whatever it took to set up Du Xun, even if Du Xun would keep saying bad things about him in front of Emperor Chongzhen, as long as the military power was in hand, Zhang Biwu would not be afraid of anything!

Princess Kunxing and the crown prince personally worked on behalf of the emperor. Of course, Chongzhen is not so stupid, if a princess is allowed to work in the army, it will be criticized for a male-dominated society. He uses the prince to work the army, and then uses Princess Kunxing to work with the prince, which will greatly win the hearts of the soldiers, because Princess Kunxing is the eldest daughter, and the prince is the eldest son, the prince of the country, and the future emperor.

This time not only did they bring enough salaries, but even every soldier was rewarded! Soldiers used to be in arrears, but now there is a reward, and everyone has a share, which is a very rare thing for them! In addition to being surprised, everyone was surging with a wave of gratitude.

No, they shouted: "Long live the emperor!" Long live the Ming Dynasty! Hooray! "Suddenly the crowd was full of emotion!

Zhang Biwu was also surprised, Chongzhen was really willing to pay for it! Didn't you say that the imperial court had no money all the time? It's not easy for him to spend this amount of money!

Wang Chengen came to him and said, "Guoxiong, you should know that the country is in trouble now. The emperor worked hard to come up with this money. For what? In order to make everyone use their strength, let them fight bravely to kill the enemy, so as to defeat the strong enemy, and comfort the emperor's heart! Don't let down the emperor's hard work!
