Chapter 0395 - Silver Doesn't Matter

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen sadly found that many things, even if he had already predicted it, but when the time really came, he was still powerless to change anything, the pattern of Liaodong, not that he understood, but also knew what to watch out for, he could make a difference, this pattern, for the Ming Emperor, has basically become a dead knot!

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen never thought of giving up Liaodong, but what could he do?

Do you really have to wait until the day when the Son of Heaven guards the country and the king dies?

Wang Chengen hurriedly brought a cup of tea to the emperor, "Shengshang, drink some water first, extinguish the fire, the old slave heard it, and he was also very angry, but getting angry can't solve the problem, or think about it calmly, at this time, you must not offend the people in Liaodong again." Otherwise, something really will happen, the old slave guessed, these people should immediately ask the emperor for silver. ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was a little indifferent, he didn't think that Liaodong really dared to rebel openly, like now, there is no difference between it and a public rebellion, you can disobey the emperor's order, isn't it almost the same as rebellion?

The treasury has been unable to sustain Liaodong's salaries and grain and grass, and conscription at this time is not a rebellion.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu You's whole body trembled slightly! This news is terrible! He forced himself to calm down and let go of his tightly clenched fist, the open boss! pressed on the imperial case, stood up, and said in a deep voice, "Send a secret order, pass it to Hong Chengchou through Guò Jinyiwei, and ask him to take Yang He into Beijing to ask for the crime!" Hong Chengchou succeeded as the governor of the three sides! As for the affairs of Liaodong, I don't know what to do! Even if they wait for them to report the matter, they will be detained at the military headquarters first. Ignore it just yet! ”

Wang Chengen nodded. The old slave thought the same thing. If the emperor doesn't give a reply, let's see what they will do next, but does Long Live Lord have to prepare for these people to make trouble first? The old slave estimated that they had received Mao Wenlong's silver, and even if they did not allocate money and grain to them for the time being, they would not have to worry about the silver and grain and grass within half a year, and it was very likely that they would put a lot of people outside the customs in. These people were driven into the Guannei by them, and they must have come to Beijing, because the food in the capital is so tight now, if there are hundreds of thousands of people from outside the Guanshi pouring into Beijing, if we don't care, we will definitely force them to go to Shaanxi and Shanxi, and they will probably make trouble with the anti-army, and in that case, there will be more and more anti-people in the Central Plains. When the time comes, our capital may really be surrounded on all sides. ”

"Don't be afraid. Take out all the money you have inside! How much money do we have now? The last time I went back to Beijing, didn't I get tens of millions of silver? Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's words. Wang Chengen was taken aback.

The emperor has really changed, and he will actually say that he will take out the silver from the inner pocket! Last time, the emperor took silver from the inner treasury to supply the Imperial Forest Army, and then used the silver to reward the people of Beijing who helped defend the city, Wang Chengen was already very surprised.

"Your Majesty, there are now more than 12 million taels of imperial silver, but it is far from enough! If you take care of the refugees from outside the Guan, let alone 10 million taels, even 30 million is not enough, and, in that case, the victims of Shaanxi, the Central Plains, and the victims of Henan will all come to the capital! People have heard that there is food relief in the capital, can they not come? Moreover, how can the accommodation of so many people be solved? If you're hungry and frozen, you'll make trouble. Wang Chengen nervously reminded the emperor, afraid that the emperor would rise up for a while and regret it.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen flashed the idea of moving the capital in his mind, but he knew that it was unrealistic to move the capital, first of all, the ministers would not agree, and without the support of the ministers, he really became a loner! These people's homes are in the capital, and if they give up the capital, the cemetery of their ancestors cannot be moved! This will make him bear the charge of disloyalty and unfilial piety, and when the time comes, everything will really be over, and how can the capital afford these endless disaster victims?

Grain, grain, all because of the food problem, where is he going to get food?

"Silver, silver is not important to anyone, not as important as the people of Beizhili, this is the foundation of me, people and time, these are more important than silver, don't look at what is in front of you, what do you say?" Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen calmed down his feelings, this time, he didn't get angry, this is not something that should be angry, every qiē is his idea to evolve things to this point, every change, you have to pay the price of blood!

"Your Majesty, people have a homeland, trees have roots, in fact, those who follow the anti-army rebellion are all some homeless people, ordinary people, even if they starve to death, there are very few people who follow the anti-army rebellion, let alone come to the capital! The old slave estimated that if the gang in Liaodong really did this, then there would definitely be a large number of spies among the refugees, and there would be a lot of homeless people fishing in troubled waters! During this time, the household registration of the local residents of Beizhili will be re-registered, and those from other places will not be allowed to enter Beizhili! Let the army set up a block! Your Majesty, even if we use all the silver to help the victims of Beizhili, we are afraid that it will not be enough, and we must not be merciful. Wang Chengen said the easiest way.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen sighed, what is this called? The people who were emperors watched their people starve to death piece by piece, but they couldn't manage it, but they were helpless!

"Just do as you say, but there is one thing, Jingshi can't starve to death anymore! Arrange all the manpower to go out, and buy high-priced grain from Shandong and other places as much as possible! I want to personally tour the south of the south! Let's see why the grain can't be delivered! Did you ask Zheng Zhilong? ”

Wang Chengen nodded, "The old slave has already let people inquire, I have been busy in the past two days, and I almost forgot to report to the saint, this Zheng Zhilong, the word Feihuang (a word Feilong), nickname Yiguan, Catholic name Nikolai, ancestral home Gushi, Henan, Nan'an, Quanzhou City, Fujian. Father Shaozu, Wanli Ding Sixu served as the history of the Quanzhou Treasury at noon. Establish a naval division with the power of the people, maneuver between the Eastern and Western powers, and resist and successfully defeat the Western maritime forces in the Taiwan Strait.

Zheng Zhilong was a merchant, soldier, official, and pirate active in South China, Taiwan, and Japan, and was known for his armed maritime group, which originated in Hirado, Japan. ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen nodded, "I didn't ask you about his ancestors for eight generations, I asked you, whether he was willing to be appeased or not, did he arrange for someone to go to Zhao'an?" ”

Wang Chengen's face was embarrassed, and he took out a notebook from his sleeve pocket. (To be continued......)
