Chongzhen sighed: "Yes, the counties of Baishui have gone through this battle, and they are in ruins. However, Baishui Zhixian is a mediocre person, he ran away when the homeless people came, and he could only barely hold the city when the homeless people were raging.

The surrounding counties are almost in this form, so that Wang Erzhi and his ilk have grown in a short period of time, and they actually tried to get their hands on Yan'an Mansion, in a vain attempt to echo Wang Jiayin in Suide Town. ”

Huang Zongxi, who came together, was suddenly moved and said: "What does Your Highness mean that the people in the northwest are in turmoil, right now?" ”

"Brother Taichong......" Lu Xiangguan looked at Huang Zongxi in shock.

"Yes." Chongzhen nodded heavily, "However, the current chaos is not the worst situation. ”

"Is Your Highness serious?" Huang Zongxi and Lu Xiangguan were extremely shocked, their throats were dry and palpitating, and they were extremely flustered.

Chongzhen said: "The crux of Liaodong lies in Jiannu, and the situation in the northwest is even more chaotic. Outside, there are Usizang, there are Tatar Tumut tribes, there are Heshuo special departments, and there are Turpan tribes.

There are also the Mongolian tribes entrenched in the Hetao area, which is commonly known as the Hetao Kou.

Inside, there are the starving people who are about to break out, there are bandits and bullies who occupy all the mountains, there are landlords who collect the swordsmen in Guanzhong to protect themselves, and there are traitors who serve the people during the day and are cowards at night. ”

The experience of Liaodong allowed Huang Zongxi to grow up for a long time, and Lu Xiangguan also gained a lot of knowledge in the Daimyo Mansion under the rule of his brother Lu Xiangsheng.

Chongzhen's analysis of the situation gave them a lot of inspiration, and their sword eyebrows frowned lightly, and they didn't say a word for a long time.

Chongzhen didn't rush either, waiting for them to think.

After a long time, Huang Zongxi sighed and said: "Your Highness doesn't say that I really don't know, my situation in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty has been so strong, I heard that His Royal Highness has lived in the palace for a long time, and he can't move an inch, but now it seems that the people of the world have misunderstood His Highness." ”

Lu Xiangguan said: "Such a strong situation is really a rare occurrence in a century, how to break it?" ”

Chongzhen said: "The huge force breaks it, and the clear stream is sorted out." ”

Huang Zongxi asked: "What is great power and how to break it?" What is a clear stream and how to sort it out? ”

Chongzhen said proudly: "There are external and internal powers, no one wants to see the external power instilled into my Chinese land, and we can only rely on ourselves." This king is the greatest power in the northwest and even the entire Great Tomorrow, in addition to this king, He Huchen of Yansui deserves it, and Cao Wenzhao of Guanning in Liaodong is also counted as one. ”

Huang Zongxi said movingly: "Does Your Highness mean that General Cao will be transferred to the northwest?" ”

Chongzhen said: "I can't say for sure, but it's very likely." ”

Lu Xiangguan said: "Your Highness has accumulated a lot of money, and it deserves its name. So what is a clear stream and how to sort it out? ”

Chongzhen looked at him and said, "Youzhe and Taichong are both clear streams. Shaanxi Governor Hong Chengchou is barely one, in fact, the most favorite of this king is the loyal and upright white-faced scholar - Sun Chuanting. ”

"Sun Chuanting?" Huang Zongxi and Lu Xiangsheng exclaimed, "Didn't he resign?" ”

Chongzhen grinned and said: "The troubled times are coming, why not reinstate officials and even promote them exceptionally?" ”

Lu Xiangguan looked at the truth with a warm gaze: "Is Your Highness going to be promoted to Baishui Zhixian unusually?" ”

Shigejin laughed and said, "It's refreshing to talk to smart people." Yes, do you dare to take over? ”

Lu Xiangguan also laughed and said, "Why not? I am worried about what I see and hear from my brother, and I have nowhere to practice! ”

Chongzhen said happily: "Then the king will let Yuan Laojiu lead a few Guanning brothers, and then let Wang Hu leave twenty Shandong heroes to help you sort out Baishui County and the surrounding counties." If you have good governance, then you and Lu Gong are both prefects, why not? At that time, your Lu clan will definitely be famous. ”

Lu Xiangguan kowtowed with great joy and said: "Your Majesty will definitely live up to His Highness's trust!" ”

Chongzhen helped him up, and earnestly advised: "Remember to hold the power, especially the troops, firmly in your hands, but also do not bow down in person." This king still has the same sentence - break it with great force and sort it out with a clear stream. ”

"Hmm." Lu Xiangguan thought for a moment and sorted out his thoughts, then nodded heavily.

Chongzhen noticed Huang Zongxi's excited gaze, so he said to him again: "Taichong will go to Xi'an with this king and see Hong Chengchou's slippery head." ”

Huang Zongxi was shocked: "Your Highness doesn't want to stay in Xi'an and work with that guy, right?" ”

Chongzhen teased: "What? You don't like him? ”

Huang Zongxi smiled awkwardly: "Not really, it's just ...... His reputation is really not good! ”

Chongzhen laughed and said: "Don't worry, you and him are both civil and military all-rounders, how can you not collide with love when you put them together...... Oh, what this king means is that the two of you will look down on each other and restrain each other and even fight, and who will do practical things for the people? The so-called factional struggle is the most criticized part of the Ming Dynasty, how can this king commit it again? ”

"Then His Highness means ......"

"He Huchen is fierce, but this king always feels that it is too tiger, it would be good if he could go to someone to help him."

Huang Zongxi said happily: "Since the trip to Liaodong, I have completely fallen in love with the border career, although it is hard, but the desert wind and sand, I really want to see it." ”

"Good guy, worthy of being a great Confucian potential stock." Chongzhen blurted out praise, and only when the words came out did he know that it was inappropriate.

Fortunately, Huang Zongxi and Lu Xiangguan were immersed in each other's joy and congratulations, and did not notice his slip of the tongue.

Everything is finalized, and Chongzhen finally has some ideas for stabilizing the situation in the northwest.

When passing through Baishui County, Huang Chongzhen asked for Shang Fang's sword and coerced the Wuwei county order that "the displaced people ran away when they entered the country, and the displaced people crossed the border and came back", and handed over the county seal.

"Where is this King of Faith, it's clearly a bandit!"

The magistrate humbly presented the magistrate's seal, but he cursed in his heart: "The old man spent 50,000 snowflakes and silver to get the magistrate, that's it, it's almost enough in the past few years, and it's a big deal to spend a little more money after going back, and change to a peaceful and rich place." Jiangsu and Zhejiang? I'm afraid it won't be my turn. Then Shandong, it is said to be not bad. ”

Chongzhen felt that the Ruqin Sword had not been opened for a long time, so he took out a clean handkerchief and gently wiped it, and suddenly said loudly: "Fu Zhixian, what are your plans next, where do you want to go?" ”

"Shandong continues to be an official...... Ah no, no, naturally, I went back to my hometown in Gyeonggi. ”

Chongzhen sat on the Taishi chair in the county hall and sighed: "Actually, you don't sin to death, really." It's nothing more than being a little greedy, a little cowardly, and a little slippery. Who is not like this in this world? ”

"Your Highness forgives your sins, Your Highness forgives your sins......" Fu Zhixian couldn't figure out what Chongzhen meant, and beads of sweat the size of beans slid from his head to the ground of the county office, kowtowing like pounding garlic.

"This king cherishes his time and doesn't want to waste too much on a scumbag like you. Remove you from your post and be promoted, for a quarter of an hour, if one of the people speaks for you, they will not behead you. Chongjin threw down a token.
