Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen said urgently: "Why not? ”

Yuan Keli replied, "Holy Mingjian, first of all, it has little effect!" There are more than 200,000 beggars, and the old minister is counting 250,000 people! At least 150,000 of them are the elderly, the weak, the women and children, and the sick! If you haven't had enough to eat for a long time, even if these people feed them now, they can't immediately be like normal people! The remaining 100,000 young and strong men, let's not talk about their bodies, these people have been in a state of lack of food and clothing for a long time, and their resentment towards the court and the saints must be very deep! These people also wander between beggars and anti-people! Those who collect rags are stealing and collecting, and these people are begging, robbing, stealing and cheating! You can't think of them as ordinary people! No one will be a beggar until the last resort! So on the use of beggars, think twice! It would be good if we could gather 100,000 beggars to help defend the city, but if there are few soldiers and many beggars, we will completely lose control over these people! Once there is chaos, the consequences are unimaginable! His Majesty's plan for the present day is also the only choice, he should immediately terminate the plan of Jingcha, let the people come out to defend the city together, like last time, Jiannu will definitely return in vain! ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen frowned deeply, "But in this way, the Jingcha plan will eventually fall short!" If such a large-scale unified action does not achieve results, the consequences will be unimaginable! I've made up my mind! I believe that the people of the Ming Dynasty, even if they are beggars, are also conscious, and if the beggars want to push me to Jiannu, I will die without complaining! ”

Cao Huachun cried, "Your Majesty, the plan of Jingcha is important, but it is not worth the danger of the Son of Heaven himself!" Mobilizing two or three hundred thousand beggars is not like mobilizing two or three hundred thousand ordinary people to deal with the aftermath! The common people can go home after the war, the big deal is to give some reward silver, now the key is that there is no silver to buy food, the entire Gyeonggi region has fallen into a food shortage, waiting for the post-war transportation of grain! These people are homeless! Even if Jiannu is defeated, these people will have to rely on the emperor at that time! Winter is coming soon! If something happens to the grain after the war! If we can't solve the problem of food and shelter for such a large number of people, there will be a big mess! ”

The two of them have already made it very clear how dangerous things are! This is where Zhu Youzhen's complicated feelings for beggars, refugees, and homeless people lie! These people are also his people, but he, the emperor, loves them while powerless to take them out of trouble, and at the same time has to guard against them!

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen showed his rare courage at this time! "I've made up my mind! This time, not only did a lot of dirty silver be copied from the corrupt official's house, but also a large amount of grain! There will be no problem with the food shortage in Jingshi for at least three months! Go on an errand! If something goes wrong, I'll solve it! ”

Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen said so, but he knew that even if he got the grain from those corrupt officials, the problem now was that the entire Jingshi was short of food, and when the Jiannu were defeated, the areas around Gyeonggi should not find a little food! The food found from the homes of corrupt officials is a drop in the bucket! Don't say two or three months! Even half a month is very enough, and food shortages are no more than other things, which can lead to rebellion! Jingshi rebelled, and the consequences will be directly directed at the emperor's dragon chair!

However, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen has already gone up, he can't stop, he can't stand the Beijing officials in the Beijing Division, the top layer of the Ming Pyramid is controlled by a group of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and eradicating corruption is also the first step in his reform plan, he urgently needs this as the first pot of gold for the emperor!

The emperor said the words to death! Two people had to do it! The emperor was not frightened by Jiannu, nor was he rash, the burning of more than 30,000 beggars that day was not his intention! Behind the politics can allow accidental darkness, but it is not the way to be above board! As a monarch, after all, you still have to take the right way! He can't abandon a beggar!

Emperor Chongzhen believed that most of these beggars came from the area near Gyeonggi, and if they were not from the area near the capital, it would be difficult for them to stay in the capital division! The people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division would not be as kind and reasonable as him! People with foreign accents want to enter Beijing at will, which is actually a very good thing! During the Ming Dynasty, it was not like the modern era of later generations, where you wanted to buy a ticket! Ordinary people don't want to go to a new province, even if they leave their own county and their hometown! It's all very difficult! This is the characteristic of an agrarian society!

They still have feelings for the countryside and the Ming Dynasty! At this time, people's local complexes are very heavy! What a homecoming! It's hard to leave your homeland! It's all about the nostalgia of the ancients for their hometown!

Zhu Youzhen personally climbed the city tower, and the morale of the defenders was greatly boosted, and he quickly suppressed the most ferocious offensive of the Eight Banners Army! The city defense of Jingshi was built over hundreds of years and by countless laborers! It's definitely not comparable to your average small town!

The neatly lined up Eight Banners Army is at its peak! After some looting and mobilization, regroup under the city of Beijing! In fact, from the first day that Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen began to implement the Jingcha plan, he got the information! The Tartars relied on intelligence to break the city, and they all relied on internal response, and there were few times when they relied on combat power to defeat a fortified city! This military operation of Huang Taiji to enter the customs was successful, but he lost to Zhu Youzhen in politics, he was unwilling, he couldn't bear Zhu Youzhen under his nose, what kind of reform plan he did when he was still in the pass! Even if the city cannot be broken, it is necessary to block Zhu Youzhen's reform measures!

"Look, it's Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's big weed! He's in town again! Dolgon pointed to the city wall and said to the emperor.

Huang Taiji's eyes shot a fine light! smiled slightly, "Don't worry, let people stop attacking!" Rest for an hour and prepare for the next wave of offensive! Our purpose is not to break the city! The little emperor's gas is not exhausted! What Mr. Fan said is reasonable, the country of the Han people must be destroyed by the Han people themselves! We can only reap the benefits of the fishermen! He only has two paths now! Either stop his plans for some of the Kyoto Surveys! If he gives up halfway, those officials who have not yet been raided will unite against him! If these tens of thousands of people are united, there will be civil strife in the capital, and we will have a chance! If he doesn't stop, we'll use this pressure to sustain it, and I'll see if he wants his Jingcha plan or Jingshi!? Let people closely monitor the changes in the Ming Dynasty! No matter what the little emperor wants to do, we can't turn a blind eye! Want to bounce back? Can't give them such a chance! ”

Dolgon's eyes rolled, "Your Majesty, it's not that your courtiers can't understand the emperor's intentions, but judging from the observation during this time, this little emperor is not a mediocre person!" Are you afraid that after a long time, you will raise tigers? Otherwise, he simply seized the capital of the Han people, killed the emperor, and set the world, right? ”

Huang Taiji shook his head heavily, "What you said, I haven't thought about it, the time is indeed not ripe, even if you get this Jingshi, you can't keep it!" It will shift all the spearheads of the Han people to ourselves! If more than 200 million Han people are united, do you think our two million people can afford it? The Han people are a hundred times that of us, and you should never forget this factor! The Mongolian princes are all grass on the wall, the wind is not in the right direction, we will soon be embattled, when it comes to politics, you are still too tender! ”

Dolgon took a step forward, "Your Majesty, then we can break through the capital, didn't we directly destroy their capital inspection plan?" Even if you don't go to occupy the capital of the Han people, it's good to grab and kill! The emperor who doesn't kill them is it! If the city is not broken, won't the blood of the soldiers be shed in vain? ”

Fan Wencheng interjected, "Lord Belle's words make sense! Even if you don't kill Zhu Youzhen now, it is absolutely feasible to break through his Beijing division and force him to flee in a hurry and loot the capital! First, it can compensate for the loss of the army's siege, and second, it can rub the sharp spirit of the Ming emperor! ”

Since Zhu Youzhen removed Fan Wencheng's hands and feet and gouged out his nose, Huang Taiji still did not abandon him, Fan Wencheng wore a mask, sat in a wheelchair, and still enjoyed the treatment of a minister.

Huang Taiji glanced at Fan Wencheng suspiciously, "Mr. Fan, this is a big change from your previous thinking!" You've always advocated peace by war! Did you change your mind because you hated the emperor of the Ming Dynasty? ”

Fan Wencheng shook his head, "Your Majesty, Weichen is already like this, it is false to say that he is not jealous, but it is more for the emperor's consideration, judging from the timing and strength of the Ming Dynasty's little emperor's choice of Jingcha's plan, this is not only wise and thoughtful, but also an iron-blooded, dare to think and dare to do it!" Weichen didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty would produce such an emperor! It is not yet known what kind of effect he will receive if he does so! However, since he dared to do this, it has proved that this little emperor is not simple, and we must also adjust the previous policy towards the Ming Dynasty, and we should be more proactive in containing and interfering in the national affairs of the Ming Dynasty! In the past, Weichen advocated taking the initiative to attack the Guanning Jin defense line! Such a policy of harassment in the Gyeonggi region of the Ming Dynasty continued to drag down the economy of the Ming Dynasty, and it is reported that the little emperor has intended to disarm the Guanningjin defense line! This is a very dangerous signal, indicating that the little emperor has fundamentally seen the potential crisis of the Ming Dynasty! We should also adjust our strategy against the Ming Dynasty accordingly, with the goal of directly hitting the Ming Jingshi and directly hitting the Ming economy! Can't let him have a breathing room! ”

Huang Taiji groaned, "So, Mr. Fan also advocates the capture of the capital of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Fan Wencheng nodded and said, "Yes, now our logistics army has transported a large number of captured materials to Guanwai, and my main army has also reached the stage of evacuation!" Winter is coming, and Emperor Weichen Jian yì won the capital of Daming at any cost in these two days, and he grabbed it after the fight! Grab it and leave, and let the soldiers go back with gold, silver and jewelry! Use the wealth in our hands to open the smuggling channels of Guò North Korea and increase smuggling cooperation with the rich areas in the south of the Ming Dynasty! Let the already clumsy food supply line of the Ming Dynasty be completely paralyzed! The whole country is plagued by disasters and wars, and I see what he uses to reform the rule of officials and change the law! His set, according to Weichen, is really a reckless move! It is difficult to move forward in a peaceful and prosperous world, let alone in this troubled world! After such a fool of him, if we broke through the capital of the Ming Dynasty in the past, it was very likely to arouse the short-term unity of the entire Ming clan to protect the family and defend the country, but now it is very likely that all the wealthy families will wait to see the little emperor's jokes, and even attribute the fault of the loss of the capital to the little emperor himself! ”

Dolgon heard Fan Wencheng's rare support for his opinion, and said with great joy, "Yes, Your Majesty! Mr. Fan is right, we can no longer have illusions about the Ming Dynasty! Let's let go of the fight! The younger brother dared to make a military order and seize the capital of Daming within two days! ”

Huang Taiji held the Longquan Sword in his hand, and listened to Fan Wencheng's analysis, which made sense, and also increased his confidence in dealing with Daming! Impatience is a big no-no for politicians! He even put the little emperor Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen in a very low position! Looking at the bloodstained walls of the Ming Capital, "Good! Defeat the enemy's capital in two days! I want to see if the little emperor dares to run rampant!? ”
