Chapter 0072: Da Ming Pao

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen quietly stayed by Man Gui's side, for three days, the Jingcha plan was nearing the end, and the reorganization of the remaining 180,000 beggars had also been completed, and all of them were transferred to the Tianjin Construction Corps!

And such a huge team has already been led by Yuan Keli to Tianjin, and the first step of the Tianjin Construction Corps is to take root by the sea and be able to support itself.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's actions moved Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Huachun and others, the emperor's punishment of them, in Lu Xiangsheng's thinking now, is really nothing, the emperor to his subordinates to double regulations, verification of political performance and negligence, all belong to the normal category! And the emperor personally guarded a general soldier and cared about his injuries, and this was over! This is God's grace!

Man Gui woke up and found that the emperor was actually beside him, so he couldn't help but snort softly: "Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Youzhen was overjoyed, "Don't get up, just lie down like this!" Doctor, does this mean that Man Gui is fine? ”

The imperial doctor was also pleasantly surprised, if the patient that the emperor values can't be cured, who can tell you about this sin? knelt down and replied, "Long live Lord, as long as you survive and rest for half a month, the old general will naturally be able to recover as before!" ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen stood up laughing, "Okay, good wow!" Man Gui woke up, which means that this battle of mine is a victory! Although it cost the lives of tens of thousands of people, this is the first time that my Ming Dynasty has repelled the Eight Banners in a field battle! He has a great role! Immediately make an order, open a printing house, and start a Daming newspaper! This newspaper is printed every six months according to the current traffic situation! The first issue was posted by me personally! Hosted by the Ministry of Rites first! The battles before and after the defense of Beijing are recorded in detail and published truthfully! Let the people of Daming know the whole story! Know the ferocity of Jiannu! ”

The accompanying officials knelt down to receive the order, "Obey!" ”

"Your Majesty, urgent report!" The herald shouted outside.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen immediately said, "Let him come in and say!" ”

The herald reported that Huang Taiji had issued a 10-day ultimatum and wantonly burned down the houses and farmland of the people in the Gyeonggi area! At the same time, he claimed to have received news that he had sent people to negotiate peace with Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan.

The emperor pondered and pondered countermeasures, and soon received a detailed transcript of Sun Chengzong's report on this matter, and attached a book sent by Huang Taiji!

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's expression was extremely strict, and he tried his best to keep himself quiet, but he felt panicked in his heart! The taste of being pressed and beaten is indeed very bearable! He's restrained! "Let's drive back to the palace!"

On the one hand, the dignity and interests of the Ming Dynasty, and on the other hand, the life and death of the people, which put the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen in a dilemma, and was almost burned by anger in the imperial court! The hand holding Shang Fang's sword gurgled!

Returning to the palace is just waiting for him to make a decision, now that all the officials are under double regulations, the Jingcha plan is coming to an end, how to arrange these officials, the emperor has not finally made a good idea, he has no one to discuss, this matter must be decided by himself! "Cao Huachun, immediately draft the purpose! All the people in the Gyeonggi area who were affected by the war moved closer to Tianjin! For the time being, Yuan Keli will be resettled in a unified manner, and as long as the people with Gyeonggi household registration can freely choose to be incorporated into the Tianjin Construction Corps! Deadline 10 days! If the deadline is overdue, the imperial court can only have a choice of relief! And Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan put all the troops that could be mobilized into the war of attrition with Huang Taiji, so that they should not have scruples! Let it go! I don't blame the defeat, I shrink back and fear the war, I will punish him severely! ”

Cao Huachun was taken aback, "Your Majesty, in this way, the people of the three mansions have a population of more than one million!" If they all move to Tianjin, even if everyone goes fishing, where will they get so many fishing boats at one time? And it's almost winter! Fishing isn't a long-term solution! If so many refugees are to be resettled at once, where will the imperial court get food? According to the practice of transporting grain at this time of year, at most 200,000 stones! The palace alone has to store at least 100,000 stones! The rest of the supply to so many victims of the military disaster, as well as the people in the Beijing Division, is a drop in the bucket! ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen calmly took a sip of tea, he was maintaining restraint, for a ruler, he could restrain his feelings very well, this is the basic skill, not to mention that he is the emperor! "I've thought about what you've said, first of all, I've already said that I'll never consider making peace with Jiannu! This is the dignity of a nation! To be a human being is to have backbone, even if you starve to death! Nor can there be no dignity! If you can't fight it, you can't negotiate peace, and if you don't take this step, you can come up with a way. ”

Cao Huachun said cautiously, "Can the emperor issue a holy decree to launch a full-scale war, so that the people of the three provinces can enter the war on their own!" On the one hand, it can deplete the strength of Jiannu, and on the other hand, it can reduce the food burden for the Ming Dynasty? ”

Emperor Chongzhen was not angry, and patiently explained, "Confused, this is exactly what Huang Taiji wants, and this battle fought by Jingshi is helpless!" Let the unarmed people fight hard with the fierce Eight Banners cavalry, you are talking on paper! It is very likely that a thousand ordinary people will not be able to hurt a single Eight Banners soldier! The lives of my people are lives, not numbers! And who will organize so many people? Without unified command, doesn't such a decree send the people to their lives? Didn't you push people's hearts to the side of Jiannu in vain? They don't kill the people, but I want to push the people to their deaths? ”

Cao Huachun knelt down and kowtowed, "The old slave has lost his words!" But the emperor, when such a huge number of construction corps has nothing to eat, and millions of people gather to make trouble, and it is the Gyeonggi area, has your majesty thought about the consequences? ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen stood up firmly, "Go and give an order!" I've thought about it, take it one step at a time! No matter how hard it is! I will not abandon a people who obey my Ming, they are all my people! ”

After Cao Huachun left, Emperor Chongzhen started the official document with a heavy heart, and now the Ming Dynasty no longer has the six departments of Gyeonggi, and all military and civil affairs, and local government affairs are directly responsible for the ceremonial supervisor! Therefore, the number of official documents that need to be handled directly by the emperor has also increased greatly!

Wang Chengen came, accompanied him and said carefully, "Long live the lord." ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen rubbed his eyes, "Oh, what's the matter?" Is the Jingcha plan over? ”

Wang Chengen nodded, "It's all over, the old slave heard that the emperor asked Cao Huachun to issue an order to let the people of the three provinces move to Tianjin?" This small Tianjin is just a small town, and so many people go at once! What about the grain? ”

Emperor Chongzhen was still patient, and explained to Cao Huachun earlier, and simply said to Wang Chengen, "Companion, you don't have to worry about it, I'm very tired, you can directly talk about the matter of Jingcha's plan." ”

Wang Chengen had actually made a simple communication with Cao Huachun, and knew that he couldn't persuade the emperor, so he had to give up, "It's all made out according to the meaning of the saint, a total of more than 6,800 officials have been retained, this is the list, and the list of the remaining more than 22,000 officials is on this side, here is the list of more than 300 imperial relatives." Finally, there is a list of the families and clans of the people involved in the case, a total of more than 140,000 people! ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, knocked on his heavy head, rattled his energy, and roughly swept through the four lists, "Very good, is Sun Shenxing in the list of six thousand eight hundred people?" ”

Wang Chengen thought for a while and said: "Yes, some of Sun Shenxing's clansmen and relatives are collecting money under his banner, but the amount is not large, and his own family members are living very hard, so they can be regarded as Qing officials who can be selected." ”

Zhu Youzhen put down the list, leaned back on the dragon chair, closed his eyes and said, "In this way, these more than 6,800 selected officials will not move first, and let them gather outside the Hongde Hall tomorrow!" I want to speak! As for these corrupt officials who have confiscated their property and relatives who are related to the people involved, these more than 100,000 people have been ordered to let them go to Tianjin within five days on their own, and they will also be unified into the Tianjin Construction Corps! Unified placement by Yuan Keli! The remaining royal relatives will each be downgraded by one level! Let them keep the land where they can sustain their livelihood, let it go! ”

Wang Chengen was stunned, "These nearly 200,000 people were sent to Tianjin again?" Did Yuan Keli come over? Will this food last for a month? ”

Zhu Youzhen opened his eyes, "Enough!" It will be enough to unify people! By the way, how much silver does the imperial bank have now? Is the statistics out? ”

Wang Chengen was pleasantly surprised, "There are more than 8.3 million taels of gold, more than 46 million taels of silver, and countless jewels, jade, antique calligraphy and paintings, but according to the current price, the total should be more than three times that of gold and silver." It's just that such a huge amount of antique calligraphy and painting can't be exchanged for silver in a short period of time. This time the Beijing inspection plan is equivalent to taking 20 years of national taxes into the emperor's pocket at once. ”

Zhu Youzhen snorted, he was still quite satisfied with this result, "You immediately send Jinyiwei's cronies in a group of ten people, and arrange a group of three people to supervise these ten people!" Let's send out twenty roads first! Go to Shandong, Lianghu, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and other rich provinces to buy grain, remember, don't buy grain from the black market in the name of the imperial court, in the name of the young master, let the grain from these rich places pour into Tianjin! Be secret! Immediately let Yuan Keli start to build your Wang Chengen's private residence on the edge of the palace in Tianjin! Be big! If you want to be able to store a large amount of materials, and make a secret passage like the Beijing Imperial Palace, you can do it yourself, and let Yuan Keli build a private house for you, don't use your name first, use my name! When the time comes, I will give you the house! I'm going to give you a secret decree! ”

Wang Chengen immediately understood, nodded yes, "There is silver that can indeed buy black market grain!" The emperor is wise! It's just, let the emperor paste the silver himself? ”

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand generously, "My silver is not from the state?" Where did I come from without a country? ”

Wang Chengen took a breath, the emperor has really changed, and he has become atmospheric! He asked this sentence just to see if the emperor really wanted to do this, or if he just said it casually, and after two days, he turned his face and didn't recognize anyone! Wang Chengen has learned this from the emperor before! But now it seems that as long as the emperor has said it, he will definitely implement it, and he will definitely implement it! The emperor has really changed! The emperor has grown up!
