Ming Zuo

Chapter 486 The Dilemma of Jin Yiwei
In the original history, Chongzhen's situation in five or six years was not too bad.

As the rogue bandits in Shaanxi were wiped out and Hong Chengchou and Cao Wenzhao entered Shanxi, the situation in the northwest began to improve.

Later Jin in Liaodong was busy dealing with civil strife, and did not exert military pressure on Daming.

Although the Dongjiang Rebellion in Shandong is still there, with the participation of the Guanning Army, the quelling is just around the corner.

But it's different now.

Although the rogue bandits in Shaanxi were pacified, Li Zicheng and others entered the capital and began to threaten the safety of the capital.

Although the civil strife in Hou Jin became more serious, the rebellion in Shandong made Daming hurt.

Without the Guan Ning Army, Daming lost control of the situation in the hinterland of Shandong.

If Gao Qiqian hadn't gone to Shandong for a visit, the emperor and ministers of the Ming Dynasty would not have realized that the situation had gotten out of control to such an extent.

But how to deal with this situation?

Zhou Yanru didn't speak, neither did Wen Tiren.

Previously, in order to fight for power and profit, the two fought fiercely.

But they know very well that Shandong is now a pit of fire and cannot jump into it.

Seeing that the two most dependent courtiers misfired, Chongzhen was very helpless.

Wang Wanxiang's thoughts are not that complicated.

"Your Majesty, the top priority is to send more troops to quickly quell the rebellion."

There are more angry people.

To send soldiers and horses, there must be soldiers and horses to send.

Zhou Yanru thought, if things go on like this, sooner or later Chongzhen will find himself, the chief assistant of the cabinet.

It is better to take the initiative to attack, and it is better to bring disasters to the east.

"Your Majesty, the current situation in Shandong is complicated, and it is not appropriate to act hastily. In my humble opinion, it is the best policy to send competent people to investigate and find out."

In a word, Jin Yiwei was sold.

It was only then that Chongzhen remembered that Jin Yiwei hadn't reported anything about such a big incident in Shandong.

He ordered someone to pass Wu Mengming and Han Chuan over, and scolded them fiercely.

"You are my eyes and ears, and I have given you all the important affairs of the general and the country. Why did you neglect your duties and fall to this place?"

Wu Mengming prostrated himself on the ground, sweating all over his head and face.

Jin Yiwei has no information on such a big matter, so he deserves death.

At the critical moment, Han Chuan gritted his teeth and decided to tell the truth.

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged."

When Chongzhen stared at him closely, Han Chuan uncovered his old background.

"Your Majesty has entrusted you with a heavy responsibility, Enyu Longa, and the ministers should desperately repay it. It's just that the Jinyiwei has been abolished many times before, and then financial constraints have cut off all intelligence clues. Your Majesty doesn't know. In this capital, they were also destroyed because of five buckets of rice. If you want to serve your country, you can’t bring yourself back to heaven.”

In a word.

It's not that I, Jin Yiwei, don't want to work, I really have no money.

Governing a country requires money; marching and fighting costs money like water.

In the field of intelligence, money is even more indispensable.

In the past, when the Ming Dynasty was strong, Jin Yiwei claimed to be omnipresent, and no one could avoid Jin Yiwei's eyes and ears.

What does it rely on?
In addition to elite soldiers and strong generals, of course, money was widely distributed and bought everywhere.

But now, the imperial court has not allocated funds to Jin Yiwei for a long time.

Without money, those who used to use money to do things would naturally stop doing things, and Jin Yiwei lost his eyes and ears all over the world.

The situation in Shandong cannot be known, and it is really not Jin Yiwei's own problem.

Han Chuan even talked about Jin Yiwei's current predicament.

Many people can't even eat now, so naturally they don't have the heart to do things.

The truth is the truth, but Chongzhen was even more angry.

One by one, they can't do things well every day, but they are very active in asking for money.

How can I give you so much money?

"Don't complain for no reason. I believe you, why don't you report it? The situation in Shandong, quickly find out."

Whether you want money or not, the situation in Shandong has to be dealt with.

Wu Mengming and Han Chuan knelt side by side, really wanting to cry without tears.

After leaving the hall and outside, Wu Mengming and Han Chuan shared the same illness for the first time.

"Everyone in the world knows that our brocade guards are majestic, but who knows our suffering? How many brothers have not changed into new clothes for several years."

Han Chuan was also gloomy.

"Captain, if this goes on like this, our Jin Yiwei may want Wang Xiaoer to celebrate the new year..."

Chimelong rice shop.

Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi Lin Xiaodao led two of his men into the door.

"Boss, business is booming!"

The shopkeeper, Chen Laofa, was thinking about his calculations, and hurriedly greeted him from behind the counter.

"Oh, what's the wind today, you invited Master Lin?"

Lin Xiaodao sneered.

"Poor wind."

Chen Laofa's orange-peeled face wanted to smile, but he couldn't squeeze it out.

"Master Lin was joking. Who in the Forty-Nine Cities doesn't know the majesty of Jinyiwei. King Yan Luo has to back away when he sees you."

Lin Xiaodao doesn't like this.

"As a co-author, you also know that you have worked so hard to protect your store's safety? Do you know that you have to walk around the streets in this cold weather, just because Xiao Xiao will order your poor store?"

Chen Laofa had been prepared for a long time, so he stuffed it into Lin Xiaodao's sleeve, and said with a bitter face: "You have worked hard, and the neighbors in the neighborhood are grateful."

Lin Xiaodao weighed it and was very dissatisfied.

"The wind is getting more and more evil today, it seems that we have to avoid it."

Chen Laofa was terrified and hurriedly stuffed it again.

"Oh, you guys have to take care of your body."

This time Lin Xiaodao finally showed a smiling face, and his words were much nicer.

"You guys who make a lot of money outside, don't just focus on making money. The young and old at home are ruined by no one. Every now and then, you have to go back and take a good look."

Chen Laofa nodded and bowed as he invited out.

"That's the truth."

Once outside, turn the corner.

Lin Xiaodao took out the pieces of silver in his sleeve, leaving one of the bigger ones, picked two of the smaller ones, and gave them to two men respectively.

"Take it well, don't play or gamble. It's not easy to eat at home, so don't let my mother starve to death."

The two hands put away the money in a smooth manner, and their backs were bent.

"Hey, Xiao Qi, tell me, why is Jin Yiwei so virtuous?"

..........................................

"Why is Dongjiang Town like this?"

Li Jiuzheng and Kong Youde who were trapped in Guangrao were also puzzled.

Originally, after killing Guan Ningjun, he felt that at least he would be able to become the king.

As a result, after a short period of time, it turned into a bereaved dog.

Denglai can't take it back, and the west side can't get through.

The whole army was trapped in the wilderness north of Qingzhou Prefecture, and they were about to run out of ammunition and food.

"Will this Zuo Menggeng turn beans into soldiers? Where did he get so many soldiers?"

After the defeat in Lijin County, Li Jiuzheng and Kong Youde still had illusions, thinking that Zuo Menggeng would transfer troops to the western front, and Denglai would be empty.

Although I don't know how Zuo Menggeng dispatched troops, he was able to beat them, but it is a great joy to take the opportunity to retake Denglai.

Unexpectedly, the whole army rushed all the way, without stopping for a moment, when they rushed to Shouguang, the scouts sent bad news.

Zuo Menggeng's more than [-] troops have already lined up in Wei County, waiting for them to run over.

The generals of the rebel army knew very well that unless Zuo Menggeng could fly, otherwise, there would be no way for the tens of thousands of troops in the west to overtake them and block the east.

Sure enough, after they retreated to Guangrao, Chen Yongfu came back from the west and informed that there were more than ten thousand troops in the west.

In other words, Zuo Menggeng's soldiers were not more than [-] as they thought, but an army of nearly [-].

As for Dongjiang Town, Zuo Menggeng's things have already been attacked, and there is not much way to go.
