Jingshi, Wuyingdian!

Since the defeat of Songjin, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty has not closed his eyes for half a month, and only about 50,000 of the 130,000 troops raised painstakingly fled to Shanhaiguan.

The bad news is not only the defeat of Liaodong, but also the revival of Luo Rucai and Li Zicheng and others in the Central Plains, Xiangyang, Nanyang and other places have been lost one after another, and the second assistant of the cabinet, Yang Sichang, died of illness, Zhu Yiming, the king of Xiang, and Zhu Yu, the king of Tang? Martyrdom one after another, although the reinforcement of the general army He Renlong defeated Luo Rucai in Xinyang, but Li Zicheng is gathering troops and horses, according to the Ministry of War, it is very likely to attack Luoyang and Kaifeng.

"Shou Kui, the situation is so difficult, do you think Sun Chuanting can integrate the Qin army and eliminate the two traitors Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai for me."

Although he doesn't know the taste of food and can't sleep at night, Chongzhen has to face this chaotic situation, who calls him the helmsman of the Ming Dynasty?

The new first assistant of the cabinet is the former university scholar Fan Fucui, and he is also helpless, Chongzhen is also helpless, Yang Sichang, who is most in line with his own wishes, died of illness, and only Fan Fucui can be the first assistant minister of this cabinet in terms of seniority.

"Your Majesty, Sun Chuanting is good at military training, and has a high prestige in Shaanxi, so he will definitely be able to integrate all the departments of the Qin army and calm the chaos for the country, but the battle of Songjin has exhausted the money and grain of the imperial court, and the old minister is afraid that Sun Butang is also a clever woman who is difficult to cook without rice!"

Fan Fucui has always been upright, and in the face of Chongzhen's question, he had to talk about things.

"Does that Shou have a strategy for raising money and food?"

If you don't have food, you can't raise soldiers, and if you don't have money, you can't gather soldiers and horses, and Emperor Chongzhen, who has been bothering for money and food for nearly ten years, also knows this truth.

"Alas...... Your Majesty has a great drought in the Central Plains, and the old ministers are also powerless, so the only way to do this is to go to the south of the Yangtze River to collect grain. ”

Fan Fucui trembled and bowed down in front of Zhu Youzhen, and came up with a solution to alleviate the current financial difficulties of the Ming Dynasty.

"Uh......!"

Chongzhen looked at Fan Fucui who fell down in front of him with a depressed face, the former first assistant Xue Guoguan caused such a big mess by letting Xungui donate, and now Fan Fucui actually wants to go to Jiangnan to collect taxes, isn't this going to smash the hornet's nest of Jiangnan literati.

"Your Majesty, since it is not appropriate to go to Jiangnan to collect taxes, the old minister thinks that it is better to transfer Penglai Hou to send troops to quell the rebellion, according to Shandong Governor Liu Lishun report, Penglai Hou at the end of July also did his best Shandong army to attack Liao, it is said that Lushun was broken by Penglai Hou one day, since Songjin was defeated, Liaodong only left Penglai Hou a lone army, it is better to return to Penglai Hou Division, last year Penglai Hou captured and killed the thief in a war, I think Li Zicheng will not be Penglai Hou's opponent!"

Zhang Sizhi, the second assistant of the cabinet, was promoted by the court in the twelfth year of Chongzhen, and Xue Guoguan, he also regarded himself as a lonely minister in front of Chongzhen, so he won the trust of Emperor Chongzhen, after the death of Yang Sichang, Zhang Sizhi was promoted to the position of second assistant by Chongzhen.

"Although Penglai Hou is brave and good at fighting, but Liu Lishun also reported that for this expedition to Liao, Penglai Hou unified all the soldiers and horses in Shandong, and the money and grain of each province were also withdrawn, even if Penglai Hou returned to the division, where would the Shandong army collect money and grain to go to the Central Plains?"

Chen Xinjia, the new secretary of the military department, hesitantly put forward his own views.

"There is no money to eat...... There is no money ......! ”

Chongzhen sat on the imperial case dejectedly, looking helplessly at the court minister who was kneeling on the ground.

Speaking of which, the final result is that there is still no money and food to support Zhang Sizhi's plan to transfer the Shandong army to suppress the thieves.

"Emperor, Emperor, there is an urgent battle report from Shandong!"

The eunuch Wang Chengen, the master of ceremonies, held the battle report he had just received in his hand, and crawled into the Wuying Palace.

"What did Penglaihou say?"

Chongzhen looked at the panting Wang Chengen, and his heart suddenly tightened, the 130,000 elite army of the nine sides that the imperial court had painstakingly gathered was defeated in Songjin, and now if Li Xingzhi is defeated in Liaodong, then the Ming Dynasty really does not have many available soldiers.

"The emperor, the emperor Liaodong victory, the Penglai Marquis beheaded the pseudo-Qing Li prince Daishan, the rebel minister Kong Youde, the pseudo-Qing Dorobelle Karchu, and the main force of the two red flags of the pseudo-Qing Dynasty was completely annihilated by more than 20,000 people."

Wang Chengen finally stood firm, knelt down in front of Chongzhen, and held Liu Lishun's inscription high above his head.

"Ah...... What? Penglai Hou's victory in southern Liaoning? ”

Zhu Youzhen was shocked by this terrifying news, and looked at Wang Chengen kneeling in front of him in disbelief.

The ministers in the Wuying Hall also looked at Wang Chengen one after another.

"Read!"

Chongzhen is the thirteen-year-old son of heaven, and the emperor's bearing is still there, and he quickly recovered from the shock.

Wang Chengen also knew that the current internal and external troubles of the Ming Dynasty had been extremely embarrassed, and he did not dare to slack off, so he opened Liu Lishun's report at the moment, and read aloud: "Liu Lishun, the governor of Shandong, is respectful, and the Marquis of Penglai will set up 30,000 Shandong soldiers in early August to sail Liao, first break through Lushun, the gateway to southern Liaoning, and behead the pseudo-Qingshui Division Dutong Duobi, and the deputy general of the Han Army Banner is below 3,000 levels. ”

“…… The head of the puppet Qing Dynasty Wang Daishan with two red flags and the Han army of Kong rebellion is 20,000 red flags to commit Lushun, Penglai Hou with the main force of the Lydon army in Lushun Dashan to fight the two red flags of the puppet Qing Dynasty, and with more than 10,000 divisions to sail Lushun. ”

"Dai Shan field battle defeated, the remnants of the collapse fled, but Jinzhou has been occupied by Penglai Hou, the generals worked together, dug trenches overnight three ways, Dai Shan was poor and could not be defeated, so it was defeated by our army, it was a battle, my Shandong army beheaded the pseudo Qingli Prince Dai Shan under the Manchu Han Eight Banners more than 20,000 people, and the Mongolian Ezhen Namutu led the crowd anyway, this battle is all by His Majesty's Tianwei Shenwu, Penglai Hou is unparalleled, in order to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, the minister is just a scholar, and there is no power to bind the chicken, only for Penglai Hou to raise food and salary, for the Pingliao army, long live my emperor, long live long live."

"What? A field victory over more than 20,000 Manchurian soldiers? ”

Chongzhen was a little confused, although he knew that Li Xingzhi could fight, but the previous battle of Gaoyang and the battle of Laizhou basically relied on geographical advantages to win, and now he won a field battle with the same number of Eight Banners soldiers on the territory of Dongyu, how could this not surprise him.

"Emperor, this matter is indeed true, and the supervisor Zhang Cheng also sent news, saying that after Penglai Hou completely annihilated the Daishan Department, he had raised tens of thousands of troops to attack Shenyang, the capital of the puppet Qing Dynasty, and the old slave estimated that there should be good news in the past two days."

Looking at the princes in the hall who were shocked by this terrifying news, Wang Chengen once again slammed his head in front of Chongzhen.

"What, Penglaihou actually sent troops to Shenyang?"

Chongzhen can't keep up with Wang Chengen's rhythm, at this moment he is happy and surprised, if what Wang Chengen said is true, then this time the battle of Songjin, Daming actually did not suffer any losses, although the nine-sided elite folded seventy, but Dongyu also lost two red flags, according to Wu Sangui who retreated to Shanhaiguan, the battle of Songjin, Donglu also lost more than 10,000 military horses, so calculated, Donglu has lost more than 30,000 horses, such an exchange ratio, Chongzhen can still accept it, but Li Xingzhi actually went deep alone, What if I fall for Huang Taiji's trick?
