In the Forbidden City, Chongzhen flipped through piles of notebooks.

A thousand words are inseparable from the two most important things about the current Ming Dynasty, the Liao affair and the rebellion.

At present, Liaozhen on the eastern front has begun to settle fields on the plains around the Daling River, and at the same time began to repair the Dalinghe Fort.

It is worth mentioning that the crop they grow is not wheat, but the drought-resistant small station rice developed by Xu Guangqi in Tianjin.

This is also due to Chongzhen's arrangement, where rice fields not only have higher yields, but also change the terrain more than wheat fields.

When the Jianzhou cavalry came to take a look, it was all paddy fields, so they could only dismount and lead them, and the marching speed was halved.

However, the labor cost required to transform the rice fields was too high, and Yuan Chonghuan had to apply to Chongzhen for a job.

Chongzhen thought about it for a while, it costs money to shake people, and the expenditure of food and salary will have to go up after that, which is contrary to his previous thoughts.

With a stroke of his pen, he ordered Yuan Chonghuan to temporarily postpone the construction of Dalinghe City, which had been destroyed twice by Huang Taiji, and instead build a stone wall near the rice fields, as well as repair the roads between several rear castles in Ningyuan Tashan and the Dalinghe area.

In this way, without additional investment, the Ming army's defense capability in Dalinghe City can be enhanced.

No matter how much Jianzhou destroys, it is impossible to smash all the stone walls or transport them back to their hometown.

Wait until the Jianzhou offensive has passed, and then transport the stones of the city wall back, and the city can still be repaired.

Regarding the suppression of rebellion in the northwest, especially in Jindi, it is news from different sources, and the information and emotional attitudes conveyed are also different.

Jin Fu Chen Qiyu insisted that Zezhou was a great victory, not only beheaded the enemy leader Wang Jiayin in advance, but also defeated the thief army several times the official army, beheaded tens of thousands, and only a small lock of enemy troops fled into Taihang Mountain.

However, the Fuchen of the three provinces of Beizhili, Henan, and Huguang around him all reported that there were suddenly thieves from the northwest who had entered the Kou recently, and their combat effectiveness was extremely strong.

Among them, Mei Zhihuan, the governor of Henan, was born in the governor of Gansu and is familiar with military affairs, and has now besieged the enemy in the area of Weihui Mansion and is slowly approaching.

Lu Xiangsheng, who participated in the politics of the Daimyo's Mansion of Zhili, organized and trained the people, and directly annihilated all the enemy troops who entered the Kou, and only a few prisoners were transferred to the Beijing Division.

Huguang Fuchen complained bitterly, saying that the thief army was not small, and it was extremely difficult to exterminate the deep mountains and old forests in northwest Hubei Province, and he was stepping up to deal with Yunyun.

The progress of the suppression of bandits in the three provinces is different, but the common message is revealed, that is, Chen Qiyu did not completely destroy the thief army.

What's more, he knew that there were thieves flowing into other provinces, and he did not report it to the imperial court, let alone his colleagues.

Chongzhen sighed and picked up Hong Chengchou's notebook.

It mentioned that he had fought with Gao Yingxiang in the near future, and had already besieged most of it, but the other party's scorpion block rushed into Bazhong in a melee, and was chased by the fried rabbit who was transferred by Chongzhen to reinforce it, and he had already reported to Shu Fu and also asked the court for guilt.

In his previous decrees to Hong Chengchou and Chen Qiyu, Chongzhen repeatedly stated that the thieves should not be allowed to flee to other provinces and affect their production order, otherwise they would be punished and dismissed.

Looking at it now, Chen Qiyu is obviously afraid of crime and covering up, Hong Chengchou is honestly admitted, and Chongzhen suddenly had the idea of transferring Chen Qiyu away.

However, seeing that he had made such an advance and thoughtful deployment, his subordinates still couldn't quickly exterminate the thieves, and let himself free up his hands to focus on cleaning up Jianzhou, Chongzhen couldn't help but breed an irritable mood.

I read a few more books, and they were all courtiers and science and Taoist officials who denounced Chen and Hong for their incompetence, and suggested that Erfu be dismissed and replaced with new generals.

Chongzhen shook his head, these Wenchen's steps were too big.

Especially now that Hong Chengchou is also responsible for planting the tamba arc, we have to see how effective he is in this regard.

Some people also suggested that Man Gui should also be transferred back from outside the customs and the thieves would be crushed to death.

To be honest, Chongzhen was a little moved.

But the current Yingchang City is still very fragile, but Jianzhou and Lin Dan Khan are not willing to attack at present.

If it is discarded at will, then Chongzhen's plan to attack Jianzhou in the future is likely to be a business trip, and Chongzhen does not dare to take such a risky move.

opened a notebook again, which was written by Hou Sui, the current squire of the military department, Chongzhen first frowned, and then his eyes lit up.

He opposed the suggestion of the courtiers to hold the two Fu accountable and increase the troops in the northwest, and advocated that the governors of Qin, Jin, Shu, Chu, Henan, and Zhili should be instructed to defend their own territory.

He pointed out that the peasant army, which was already short of food, has now gone deep into the mountains and old forests and has never been able to get supplies.

After a long time, they will either gather together to attack the city again, or they will collapse and find a way to survive.

Now that the imperial court wants to increase its troops, it is bound to increase investment, and with the current finance, it can only recover from the people, but it will stimulate the public sentiment in the surrounding provinces in the northwest, and there is a possibility that the people will merge with the thieves to form a popular uprising.

The additional military strength of the imperial court will not be able to encircle the enemy army if it is less, and it will make the city air defense.

Rather than doing this, it is better to concentrate food and military strength in the dangerous cities handed over by the provinces, surround them without fighting, and watch from the wall.

In this way, the peasant rebel army was besieged within a certain range, and when it was short of supplies or internal strife, the four sides used troops at the same time to annihilate it in one fell swoop.

Chongzhen couldn't help but be moved by it, because his analysis was extremely accurate.

To put it bluntly, the advantage of the thieves lies in their mobility, and if they drill into the mountains, no matter how the officers and soldiers try to catch them, it is difficult to block them in front.

But on the other hand, if the thieves want to be bigger, they must go to the jurisdiction of the official army to take the fire, if the official army is really invulnerable, then do you still need to be afraid of the thieves?

Chongzhen took a look at Hou Sui's resume, it turned out that he had been awarded the Shanxi Provincial Supervision Imperial History in the first year of Taichang, and he also had practical experience in nuclear salary training.

Chongzhen no longer hesitated, pondered for a moment, and immediately appointed Hou Sui as the prime minister of the five provinces, verified the military of the five provinces around the northwest, and governed Taiyuan.

is equivalent to an enhanced version of Jin Fu, still leading Chen Qiyu's original subordinates.

As for Chen Qiyu, after all, the merits outweigh the faults, although Chongzhen is a little dissatisfied with his good news and bad news, but the remuneration that should be given will not be less, let him take over the position of governor of Sichuan.

The original governor of Sichuan was incompetent and incompetent, and his armaments were slack, which caused Zhang Xianzhong to enter a no-man's land.

Sichuan, the country of abundance, could have been regarded as moving to the right.

But now that Chen Qiyu is being transferred over, it is obviously a beating, and it is also to strengthen Sichuan's defense as soon as possible.

Hong Chengchou is to offset the merits and demerits to observe the after-effects.

Lu Xiangsheng was promoted to the governor of Xunyang and continued to pursue the most powerful force in Wang Jiayin's remaining troops.

At this point, except for Sun Chuanting, who has not yet become famous, the dream team at the end of the Ming Dynasty is almost complete.

Chongzhen's current mentality has also stabilized, and as a monarch, he must not ignore his influence on the situation in the world.

Chongzhen in history just took Liaodong too seriously.

At the beginning, Yuan Chonghuan was regarded as a universal elixir, and he also believed in the nonsense of Pingliao for five years.

Then he was angry because of the changes that had passed, and repeatedly killed the governor and the ministers.

In the end, the ministers or generals of the Ming Dynasty went out to fight, and once things were not harmonious, they would take poison to commit suicide slowly, or rush into the enemy camp to seek benevolence and righteousness.

The situation in the Ming Dynasty now is completely different from that time, and all fronts are guarded by reliable people.

What you have to do is to give them enough resources, and then ask them for results!
