Seeing that the scene was deserted, Gao Hongtu, as a landlord, had to speak!

"As important ministers of the imperial court, such a military matter, Your Majesty did it without consulting us, and then tried to hide it!"

"Let's talk about it, anyway, we will never be able to sit idly by, if Your Majesty doesn't give us an explanation for this matter, I will be the first to return to my hometown tomorrow ...... Gao Hongtu."

Gao Hongtu's words received a fierce response from the Donglin Party bigwigs present, and they all felt a little unbearable about Chongzhen's changes now!

It's just that after the blood, no one responded to Gao Hongtu's call to threaten Chongzhen by resigning, but Shi Kefa persuaded: "Tomorrow, let's go to the court and persuade Your Majesty together......"

"Therefore, there is no need for Lord Gao to use such drastic methods, in case, it arouses His Majesty's rebellious mentality, wouldn't it be worth the loss?"

Seeing that Shi Kefa opened his mouth, the scholar Zhang Shenyan also persuaded: "Lord Gao doesn't have to be so intense, besides, now that the state affairs are difficult, it is precisely when I need to wait for the righteous gentlemen of Donglin to support the imperial court, at this time, Lord Gao, you resign and go into hiding, isn't it a loss for the court and the emperor?" ”

Gao Hongtu saw that someone was persuading, so he naturally got off the donkey, and was about to say something about the scene, but suddenly there was a sound of the next person outside the door......

When I just received the accident outside the Shuixi Gate, a group of leading people in Nanjing City had already sent people to inquire about the details!

At this time, the person who went to inquire about the news also came back, but Gao Hongtu and the Donglin Party bigwigs in the house changed their faces drastically after hearing it......

There was silence again in the room, and after a long time, Gao Hongtu said astringently: "It turns out that Your Majesty wants to *** the three towns in the north, maybe even Zuo Liangyu is included in it, but Zuo Liangyu was not fooled, and the situation is serious!" ”

"Although the emperor has eliminated the three towns in Jiangbei, this matter will definitely make Zuo Liangyu have other ideas."

"Once Zuo Liangyu defects to the Qing court, even Zhang Thief and Xian Thief, I am afraid that the entire Huguang will fall in one day......"

After Gao Hongtu finished speaking, everyone looked at each other, and after a long time, Liu Zongzhou answered: "The only people in the imperial court who can fight are the four towns of Jiangbei and Zuo Liangyu, as for those people in Jingying, it is really not to mention it, and now Zuo Liangyu does not need to mention it!" ”

"After the collapse of the three towns in Jiangbei, the entire Ming Dynasty will only be left with tens of thousands of horses under Huang Degong, as for the little-known Yan Yingyuan, he was just a warden in Jiangyin City before, and he should be a lucky person......"

"It's the same as that demon dao, counting on him to fight? Isn't that a joke! ”

'Tens of thousands of horses! ’

All the Donglin Party bigwigs present were chanting this sentence in their mouths, and their faces were extremely ugly for a while.

There is a huge Ming Dynasty, but there are only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses that can fight......

After a long time, Zhang Shenyan said angrily: "The emperor is cutting off his arm, maybe it was provoked by those eunuchs, these villains, they don't know how to govern the country at all, and they keep adding chaos to the side......"

Next, a group of so-called righteous gentlemen, after criticizing Ma Shiying and other eunuchs, they also dispersed, waiting for the morning dynasty tomorrow morning, when it is time to show their fighting spirit!

……

When the Donglin Party members were indignant in Gao Hongtu's mansion, Zhang Yun also told Chongzhen about the Donglin Party in the palace.

Poor Dao heard that during the Yongle period, the tax income of the imperial court was more than 20 million taels of silver a year......

More than 200 years have passed, and these more than 200 years are still peaceful and prosperous, and the population growth rate is naturally extremely fast, so some barren land must have been reclaimed.

In other words, in the past 200 years, the land reclaimed in the world can pay much more taxes than the 20 million taels of silver a year in the Yongle years!

However, after His Majesty ascended the throne, the annual tax income of the imperial court was only 4 million taels, did Your Majesty think about the reason for this? Could it be that His Majesty never doubted this matter?

Or is it that the acres of land that were opened up during the Yongle period, after more than 200 years of peaceful time consumption, were all barren again, resulting in the imperial court not being able to collect taxes!

Chongzhen was quite moved after hearing this, but then said helplessly: "The officials and gentry stipulated by Emperor Taizu will never accept the endowment, and I don't dare to change the ancestral system at will, so what can I do!" ”

Chongzhen's words, Zhang Yun wanted to scold his mother, and even wanted to turn around and leave directly, go to start a new stove by himself, and no longer serve this Zhu Adou who couldn't be supported......

But then I thought of the task given by the system, in the current era, in addition to the shortcut of supporting Chongzhen, I am afraid that there will not be enough time to find someone else to support!

In addition, the system has lost its will, and some aspects cannot give him clear hints at all, so Zhang Yun does not know how many years he can carry in this time and space......

So if you find someone else to support, in case at a critical moment, you are forced to leave for some reason or the time expires...... Isn't that a wild boar skin still arrogant for two or three hundred years? Even to the legacy of future generations, they can still arrogantly control certain media......

In addition, the most critical thing is that if the mission fails, what will happen to you, the host?

Zhang Yun, who was on a mission for the first time, didn't know at all, so for the sake of prudence, Zhang Yun, who was afraid of death, decided to continue to swallow his anger and support the so-called emperor in front of him!

Therefore, Zhang Yun rubbed his violently beating eyelids and said, "Everything else, I won't say much." Let's talk about control. ”

"Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty can mobilize four or five million people to build canals when the country has only 50 million people, and he will not talk about his ......fate."

"Poor Dao will ask you, Your Majesty, can you do it? The Ming Dynasty already has a population of 20,000, which is more than four times that of the Sui Dynasty, let Your Majesty mobilize 50,000 people, I'm afraid Your Majesty you can't do it, not that you will have any consequences if you do it, but in the eyes of Poor Dao, Your Majesty, you can't do this at all! ”

When Zhang Yun said this, the green tendons on Chongzhen's forehead jumped and jumped...... But Zhang Yun didn't see it and continued to speak......

"Because those Donglin party members will definitely jump out and try their best to prevent Your Majesty from doing this, even if Your Majesty forcibly promulgates it through the middle decree, they will also reject it......"
