Chongzhen's material is very accurate.

There is no need to send troops at all, just send a messenger all the way to exterminate the small Hongguang court that has not yet had time to be established.

Follow the example of Tang Suzong Lingwu to ascend the throne, and then respect him as the emperor? does not exist, Zhu Yousong can't be Li Heng, because he doesn't have Li Heng's team in the court.

Li Hengke has been the crown prince for 18 years.

What does Zhu Yousong have? Nothing, he's just a vassal king, and he's also a vassal king of the Ming Dynasty.

So in history, Zhu Yousong was just a puppet from beginning to end, the Donglin Party didn't take him seriously, Ma Shiying and the four towns of Jiangbei didn't take him seriously, even Han Zanzhou, Lu Jiude, these eunuchs never took him seriously, but just used him as a tool to take advantage of the opportunity to make money, but if Zhu Yousong had a little right to speak and do things, the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty would not become like a bird.

For the emperor, the best situation is that the ministers below fight but not break, but Nanming's party struggle has completely lost the bottom line, and the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party are both trying to get each other to death, and they would rather lose the country than get each other.

So as soon as Meng Zhaoxiang arrived, as soon as the news of Chongzhen's southern tour of Yangzhou arrived,

Zhu Yousong's dream of being an emperor immediately became disillusioned like a bubble, and there was no wave at all.

Zhu Yousong is not only the emperor can't do it, but it is also unknown whether he can save his life, his cousin Emperor Chongzhen is notoriously mean and suspicious, can he still be allowed to live?

So along the way, Zhu Yousong spent all his time in gains and losses.

When crossing the Yangtze River, Zhu Yousong even wanted to commit suicide by throwing himself into the river.

But when it really came time to throw himself into the river, Zhu Yousong didn't have the courage.

Suicide is easy to say, but it takes courage to do it.

Zhu Yousong and his entourage traveled day and night, and when they arrived at the camp outside Yangzhou, it was already noon on the sixth day of the fifth month, but they were told that Chongzhen was still sleeping.

So I had to wait outside.

Shi Kefa: They can only wait.

Huang Jiarui, the governor of Nanzhi, was also waiting.

……

Chongzhen really slept enough.

I've been asleep until yesterday morning, and I've been sleeping for a full fourteen hours.

In the past month or so, Chongzhen had hardly slept well, even when he was asleep, he kept one ear, and once there was a disturbance outside, he would wake up immediately.

But this time, I finally slept enough, and finally made up for it.

After noon, Chongzhen finally opened his eyes in a daze.

Yawning, Chongzhen asked, "Wang Daban, what time is it?" ”

"Back to Long Live Lord, it's already early." It's the sound of high diving.

"High companions, huh?" Chongzhen sat up from the couch, frowned and asked, "What about Wang Chengen?" ”

"The prince is just busy counting the money of the high thieves." Gao Qiqian finished speaking, and then lightly high-fived.

There was a round of high-five, and two thinly dressed slender women stepped out from behind the curtains.

From Chongzhen's point of view, these two women are good-looking, but their figures are really thin.

The two women still held musical instruments in their hands, one holding a flute and the other holding a pipa, and after saluting to Chongzhen, they were about to play and sing.

"Wait!" Chongzhen stretched out his hand to stop it.

When I looked at Gao Qidive again, my eyes had already cooled.

What the fuck is this when you're looking for a woman to play and sing a night song?

"Gao Banban, where did these two women come from? What do you want to do? ”

Gao Qiqian said with a flattering face: "Long live the lord, the old slave feels that your journey is really hard, so let Yangzhou find two women to sing for you to relieve your boredom." ”

"Yangzhou?" Chongzhen's gaze was even colder, "Yangzhou thin horse? ”

"Long live Lord Mingjian." Gao Qiqian said with a smile, "Yangzhou thin horses are famous all over the world. ”

"I think you want me to be scolded by the world!" Chongzhen shouted, "Someone! ”

The curtain was opened, and the full-fledged vulture and the fierce rabbit went straight in, and arched his hand: "The end will be!" ”

Chongzhen stretched out his hand and pointed at Gao Qi Qian, and shouted: "Drag this dog thing out and whip twenty in public!" ”

"Hooray!" Gao Qiqian was so shocked that the three souls lost seven souls, no, how did you say this, didn't I just sacrifice two beauties to please you, if you don't fall into the good, why do you end up with a whip of twenty?

Twenty lashes? After these twenty lashes, I'm afraid I'll have half a life left.

The two Yangzhou thin horses were also frightened, and they fell to their knees and trembled.

"Drag it out." Chongzhen waved his hand again, dragged the charcoal up and dived out high.

Gao Qiqian's loud wail soon sounded outside the line, but Chongzhen's gaze fell on the two thin horses.

Yangzhou thin horse, it is said that the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, blowing, playing and singing are proficient, the giant businessmen and dignitaries are eager to marry the thin horse as a concubine, and take pride in it.

Chongzhen's body quickly reacted.

After all, his body was only thirty-three years old.

In his thirties, he is the year when his physiological needs are at their highest.

However, Chongzhen knows better what the current situation of the Ming Dynasty is.

There are many beauties in the world, and there are a lot of more beautiful ones than the two in front of them.

And when can't you find a woman if you want to find it? Do you have to pick this time?

In fact, there is an imperial plan hegemony in Chongzhen's heart, and the Northern Expedition to restore the Beijing Division is just a small goal in stages.

His ultimate goal was to conquer Liaodong, then Mongolia, then the Western Regions and Wusizang, then Central Asia, West Asia, and Southeast Asia, until the final restoration of the territory of the Great Yuan Dynasty.

After all, Da Ming is inherited from Da Yuan.

While restoring the territory, it is necessary to have a concubine.

One concubine of the Jurchen tribe, one concubine of the Mongolian tribe, and one of the Wusizang tribes......

Not only did he take a concubine, but his sons and grandchildren also had a lot of concubines.

The Ming Dynasty's refusal to intermarry was actually a big mistake, and intermarriage was actually the most efficient means of integration, which could effectively integrate the surrounding ethnic minorities into the Chinese family.

Jiannu relied on this trick to swallow the Horqin Mongols.

So in the future, he Chongzhen will have many concubines.

As for the two in front of you, forget it.

When Chongzhen was thinking about what to do with the two women, Wang Chengen hurriedly came in.

"Wang Daban, are you here?" Chongzhen said angrily, "Gao Qiqian is messing around, why don't you stop it?" If this news spreads, won't I become a faint king like a king? ”

Wang Chengen said: "Long live the lesson of the Lord is that this is the fault of the old slave. ”

Wang Chengen actually didn't need to admit his mistake at all, because he didn't know at all.

"Why don't you defend yourself?" Chongzhen said, "This has nothing to do with you. ”

Wang Chengen said: "Letting the saint troublesome and troublesome is the biggest dereliction of duty of the old slave. ”

"You're really good at talking." Chongzhen snorted lightly and said, "Who gave these two women?" ”

Wang Chengen said: "Huang Jiarui, the governor of Nanzhi. ”

Chongzhen asked again: "Is Huang Jiarui here?" ”

Wang Chengen said: "Just listen to the announcement outside the line." ”

Chongzhen thought for a while and said, "You let him in." ”

Wang Chengen answered yes and went out to bring Huang Jiarui in.

Although Huang Jiarui was disdainful in his heart, he still paid a big salute: "Huang Jiarui, the governor of Chennanzhi, knock to see ......"

"Okay, this is a barracks, so you don't have to be formal." Chongzhen interrupted Huang Jiarui impatiently, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to the two women who were shrinking in the corner of the tent and said, "What's the matter with these two women?" Who told you to send it? ”

Huang Jiarui probably guessed what was going on, and replied: "The subordinate ordered by Gonggong Gao." ”

"Gao Qiqian asked you to find a woman, and you will find it?" Chongzhen scolded with a dark face, "You are the governor of Nanzhi in the Ming Dynasty, not the house slave of his high Qian, understand?" ”

Huang Jiarui's face turned red instantly.

I really want to say, isn't it because of you?

Or I'll be a bird and dive that dog castration?

"Snacks later." Chongzhen snorted coldly and said, "Unless I give an order directly, don't listen to the wind or rain, and be instructed by a few eunuchs to make the group turn around." ”

"Obey the Hadith." Huang Jiarui's face darkened.

"Now let's get down to business." Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "I ask you, how much grain can Yangzhou raise in ten days?" ”

Huang Jiarui settled his mind, and after thinking about it, he replied: "There are more than 400,000 mouths in Yangzhou City, and there are more than 200 rice shops and miscellaneous grain shops in the east and west cities, each of which has about 5,000 stone of grain, totaling about 1 million stone, in addition to more than 100,000 stone of grain that has not been transported to the north, which is still stored in the warehouse of Yangzhou. ”

"Only two million stones?"

Chongzhen's brows furrowed suddenly.

That's not enough.

The Huanghuai defense line conceived by Chongzhen stretches for more than 1,500 miles from Kaifeng Mansion to Huai'an Mansion, and at least 30 general soldiers will be separated, and each general soldier will guard 50 miles of river defense on average!

In addition to the garrison troops, there must also be mobile troops.

The field mobile unit also requires at least ten total troops.

It adds up to forty total soldiers, and according to the calculation of 10,000 people per town, it is an army of 400,000!

In order for a soldier to maintain sufficient physical strength, the daily ration cannot be less than two catties, and 400,000 people are 800,000 catties a day, which is about 5,200 stones.

It is about 156,000 stone a month.

That's nearly 900,000 stone in six months.

It's the beginning of May, and it's November in six months.

At that time, the output of Tuntian will be able to be connected.

900,000 stone is not much, is it? 2 million stone is more than enough, isn't it?

In fact, it is a big mistake, because to build the Huanghuai defense line, it is not enough to rely on 400,000 troops, but also to recruit a large number of people and displaced people to help build fortifications and strengthen the city defense.

How many people are strong? 500,000 is a base, 2 million is not too much.

Therefore, 2 million stone grain is really a drop in the bucket, far from enough.

Huang Jiarui saw Chongzhen's dissatisfaction, and then said: "If you raise grain from Su, Song, Chang and other state capitals, you can raise more than 5 million stone in three months, if it is still insufficient, then you have to buy grain from Huguang, Liangguang and even from Nanyang through maritime merchants, but I am afraid that the time will be protracted." ”

"Maritime?" Chongzhen suddenly remembered a sailor and three kinds of food.

This water division also has these three kinds of food, which is essential for the conceived Huanghuai defense line.

At that moment, he turned his head and said to Wang Chengen: "Wang Daban, you remember, after the officials of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites come in, let them immediately draft the will and prepare the canonization documents and iron coupons of the canonization, and entitle Zheng Zhilong, a guerrilla in coastal defense in Fujian, as the Marquis of Nan'an, the chief soldier of the water division, and let him lead the water division of his department to the north to Huanghuai Qin Wang, oh, by the way, let him bring more sweet potatoes, artichokes and maize." ”
