Chapter Twenty-Eight: Dreams
"This Yuan Chonghuan, what do you want to do!" Although Han Yi is Yuan Chonghuan's master, he can't stand it at this time.
Chongzhen doesn't take this as a grievance.
If you want to use a person, you have to put up with his problems.
Unless you confirm that this person is unfaithful to you, or you can find someone who is better to use, then he is useless.
Now, it is a foregone conclusion that the elite troops from Liao Town will be dispatched to assist in the prevention of the civil uprising in northern Shaanxi.
In this situation, it is even more necessary to have a capable person to guard Liaoxi, which has been transferred troops.
Therefore, it was Chongzhen himself who spoke out and explained, "It's okay, it must be that Inspector Yuan is in a hurry to deal with military affairs and retires first." ”
Sun Chengzong sighed and said, "The elements have always been stubborn, and this trip may be a hasty transfer of Liaozhen troops to the north." ”
"If the saint wants to dispatch troops, it is advisable to send people to Zunhua and Luanzhou as soon as possible."
Chongzhen was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly wrote down two handwritten edicts and handed them to Man Gui.
"You go to see that Yuan Manzi quickly, let the general Zuo Liangyu lead 10,000 Liaozhen foot soldiers into your command to obey the order, and the general Cao Wenzhao will lead 10,000 horse troops to Yan'an, Shaanxi Province to patrol my newly appointed trilateral governor Chen Qiyu to report." At present, Liaozhen only has a total of 40,000 or 50,000 elites in Gyeonggi, and Chongzhen is not ready to transfer them all.
Chen Qiyu is one of the few capable ministers of a group of mediocre officials in Shaanxi at present, and when he was the governor of Yansui, he has always been good at appeasing the displaced people.
This person is even more splendid, and once captured Li Zicheng's 30,000 troops alive in Chezhou Gorge, and his record is comparable to Sun Chuanting's capture of Gao Yingxiang alive.
If he hadn't let the tiger return to the mountain, maybe the history of the late Ming Dynasty would have to be rewritten.
As for Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting and others, Chongzhen does not plan to help the seedlings grow.
If you don't go through the tempering and training of affairs, you will not be able to produce talents. The simulation in the past has taught Chongzhen this lesson.
Man Gui obeyed the order and left. It's just that after this turmoil, the original atmosphere has faded a lot.
Chongzhen personally told Sun Zushou a few words, asking him to pay attention to the selection of a good family in Hebei who was innocent, and then let everyone disperse.
Slumped on the dragon chair, Chongzhen let out a long sigh.
Governance, people's livelihood, sentiment, and border preparation.
The current Ming Dynasty is full of holes, and everything is worried.
Since this simulation, Chongzhen has barely touched the ground, and he has been a paster everywhere, but he still feels that he is not enough.
There are thousands of things, and the difficulty is still in a money word.
If it is long-term, Chongzhen has thousands of ways to make money.
Of course, it's not things like burning glass and making soap, which have neither a big market nor huge profits.
Salt Zheng, Tamba mushroom, cotton... Which one is not sacks of money?
Thinking of Yan Zheng, Chongzhen picked up the two folds on the table, which were the lists that Han Yi and Bi Ziyan had not said before.
The candidate mentioned by Han Yi was Geng Ruqi, the governor of Shanxi who committed the crime before.
The candidate proposed by Bi Ziyan was actually himself.
After thinking about it for a while, Chongzhen directly put red on Han Yi's notebook, and decided to let Geng Ruqi go to Lianghuai to patrol the salt.
However, it will take half a year to come back.
In the short term, how can we raise a sum of money to support Yang Qiyu and Man Gui in their war?
If action is not taken as soon as possible, the civil unrest in northern Shaanxi may spread to Guanzhong and Shanxi, and even to the Central Plains.
The mess that has changed must also be cleaned up.
Even if the gold and silver of the inner treasury are used, there is still 1.5 million yuan of city defense and reconstruction costs that cannot be found.
Chongzhen pondered for a long time, and finally decided to start with the local clans.
This is also a relatively safe way to get money in the previous simulation.
The suzerain-vassal system of the Ming Dynasty had real power during the Hongwu period.
After the Jing Dynasty, Zhu Di completely reformed the clan system in order to avoid the followers from following suit, and the clan became a waste person who could not study or fight in the later Eight Banners.
In other words, attacking the clan will not cause substantial resistance, which is very different from the situation faced by Emperor Jianwen back then.
At the same time, some feudal clans enjoyed many privileges because they were loved by the emperor.
For example, King Fu, who is now in Henan Province, not only obtained a large number of Zhuangtian in Henan, but also obtained thousands of hectares of fertile land in Shandong, Hudong, and Guangdong.
The family property of Zhang Juzheng, a bachelor who worked hard for the Ming Dynasty, was also transferred to King Fu.
The income from Sichuan Yanjing and Rongcha, and the salt from Huaiyan's monopoly in Luoyang, were also completely transferred to him by Emperor Wanli.
Sitting on so much wealth, this person was indifferent when Henan was hit by drought, and even when the peasant army had besieged the city, he was indifferent.
Chongzhen doesn't have a good impression of this three-hundred-pound uncle.
What's more, if he is placed under house arrest in the capital and slowly deprived of his Wanjin family property, it will also avoid the tragic fate of him being stewed in a big pot of Fu Lushou by Li Zicheng.
I'm saving my third uncle from fire and water!
made a decision immediately, Chongzhen asked the eunuch to draft a holy decree and called the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, He Ruzhong.
"Jianzhou is in the congestion, I feel something, and I can't solve my depression."
He Rupet listened seriously.
Chongzhen coughed twice, "Last night, I dreamed that Emperor Kaoxian (i.e., Wanli) had a dream, and asked me to call a few imperial uncles to go to the tomb in front of his old man's tomb in Changping. ”
He Ru will be suspicious, "I don't know what the first emperor has to entrust?" ”
Chongzhen stiffened his face and said, "What is the entrustment, that is also our Zhu family's business." You go and summon King Fu, King Duan, King Hui, and King Gui to the capital first. ”
King Fu, King Duan, King Hui, and King Gui are all sons of Wanli.
If the feudal officials of the real country were sent to raid the house, first of all, the ministers of the imperial court who were obsessed with Confucian ethics would definitely not agree, and it would also cause concern among the other vassal kings.
Although the clans of the late Ming Dynasty were no different from piglets, if they gathered together to form an opposing force, the momentum was still considerable.
However, if they were to be taken to the capital under house arrest, leaving these royal palaces leaderless, and then sending loyal officials to slowly cut the flesh with blunt knives, the resistance would be much less.
When their silver really enters the treasury of the Ming Dynasty, even if the court respects the etiquette and law, it can only shut up obediently.
Of course, He Ruzhong didn't expect the emperor's calculation to be so far-reaching, but the emperor really dreamed of the first emperor, so he hurriedly put away the holy decree carefully, and went to the Ministry of Rites to run an errand.
Chongzhen saw He Rupet leave and nodded with satisfaction.
King Fu also has some involvement with Lianghuai Yanzheng, if he is really transferred to the capital by himself, it will be more convenient for Geng Ruqi to clean up Yanzheng there.
And if he doesn't come?
Hmph, Chongzhen sneered twice. Under the absolute monarchy system of the Ming Dynasty, he had no choice but not to come.
At this moment, a little eunuch interrupted Chongzhen's reverie.
"Long live the lord, Inspector Yuan suddenly handed over a post outside the palace, and wanted to bring a person to face the saint."
Yuan Chonghuan is back again? Chongzhen was a little puzzled, wasn't it enough for me to find the bottom of the stairs by myself, did he still point at my nose and scold?
Despite this, Chongzhen still waved him in.
After a while, Yuan Chonghuan led a man dressed as an officer in.
Before he entered the house, he knelt on the ground and took off his official uniform and hat.
Chongzhen understood at a glance that he was persuaded and educated by Sun Chengzong, and his impulsiveness was over, and he came to resign and ask for guilt.
"Okay, Yuan Manzi, you stop." Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "If you have something to say, I won't eat you." ”
Yuan Chonghuan was stunned for a moment, then arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty Xie forgives the crime of disrespect to your ministers, Your Majesty is gracious, and you will feel the five guiltes." ”
"The minister went and returned because during the military discussion just now, the minister forgot to recommend a talent from Gancheng to the emperor."
He pointed to the officer beside him and said, "This person's surname is Liu, his name is Xingzuo, and he used to be Nurhachi's son-in-law. The minister thought that the post of the chief soldier of Phi Dao was none other than this person! ”
