Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 159 Taking Power (1)

The endless party disputes in the late Ming Dynasty, although reflected in factional disputes, regional disputes, and ideological disputes, also reflected a fundamental point from the side, that is, "interests".

Standing from the perspective of the son of Da Ming, shouting the slogan of "reform" as soon as he came up, and making drastic moves, this is undoubtedly the heaviest iron fist for the corrupt Daming, the rotten Daming.

What Emperor Chongzhen said made Wang Qia and Li Banghua, the military ministers and counselors, all understand that the emperor intends to straighten out the military and does not want to let Jianlu invade Daming and other bad things happen again.

For this Jianlu invasion alone, the imperial court spent a lot of money in exchange for the various armies that accompanied them on the expedition, so that they could start a fierce battle with Jianlu with peace of mind.

"Zhou Qing, what kind of things did the country encounter during the imperial conquest, and how much money did it cost to fight against Jianlu this time?" Emperor Chongzhen calmed down, looked at Zhou Yanru and the others, and said with a serious expression.

coming!

When Wang Qia and Li Banghua heard the words, they knew that the emperor wanted to know more about what happened on the side of the country and the detailed expenditure of money and food when he was away from Beijing to fight.

"Your Majesty, during your personal expedition, many things did happen in the country."

Zhou Yanru first cupped his hands in a salute, then turned around, took the memorial from Minister Counselor Jin Sheng, and said: "These are all important military affairs involved in the Military Aircraft Office staying in Beijing.

In addition, the country’s war against the Jiankui this time required a total of more than 260 million taels of silver and more than 110 million shi of grain. In addition, there were allocated ordnance, bows and crossbows, arrows, various firearms, guns, cannons, fodder, etc. All are recorded in detail in the memorial, and I hope your Majesty will read it. "

spend so much! ?
Emperor Chongzhen narrowed his eyes slightly, and tapped the dragon case with his fingers, making a "da, da" sound. If he remembers correctly, the Taicang Bank in the second year of Chongzhen's year was only about 900 million taels of silver. Almost a third? !
"Your Majesty, although the Warring States Dynasty spent a lot of money and food, some of it was not allocated from the Ministry of Household Affairs." Xu Guangqi stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Before Your Majesty's personal conquest, Dongchang and Jinyiwei arrested a group of people. The profiteers who drove up prices, and then relying on them, arrested a group of people with different intentions in the capital, Tongzhou and other places..."

That's right!

The vicious Jianlu have all entered the country, and according to the virtues of all classes under the Ming Dynasty, there will inevitably be defectors and fence-sitters.

It seems that Cao Huachun, Luo Yangxing and the others are not worthless snacks. They are the most useful minions who can help me earn money.

"Okay, let's submit all these memorials, and I will talk about them after I read them in detail."

Emperor Chongzhen, who was in a good mood, looked at Zhou Yanru and Xu Guangqi, and said, "There are a few other regulations that need to be handled by you."

Wang Chengen, who was on the side, hurriedly stepped forward to take the memorial from Zhou Yanru, and then carefully stepped forward and placed it on the dragon case.

"One, I have promoted and transferred a group of officials and generals on the frontline battlefield. They have temporarily been ordered by the Military Aircraft Department to issue orders, and they have gone to various places to take up their posts. Zhou Qing, I will leave this matter to you."

"One, the Admiral's Office of the Nine Gates, needs to be clarified as soon as possible. The other side of the Military Aircraft Office must go to inspect the guards of each gate on behalf of me, and clarify the relationship with the Five Cities Bingma Division, the Wucheng Xuncheng Censor Office, and the Beijing Camp. The separation of duties and powers, Xu Qing, I will leave this matter to you."

"One……"

Emperor Chongzhen spoke item by item, while military ministers such as Zhou Yanru, Xu Guangqi, and Wen Tiren all kept in mind their respective responsibilities.

Right now, Yuan Chonghuan is being transferred to Jinyiwei Prison, waiting for his further instructions. Taking advantage of the fact that the teacher has just returned to the imperial court not long ago, first eat all the fruits of victory that he has grasped, that is the most practical action .

"Okay, let's go to work on our own."

After explaining what he said, Emperor Chongzhen said seriously: "The regulations I mentioned must be done as soon as possible, there must be no sloppy, and any situation should be reported to me in time."

"I will obey your orders!"

All the things that should be explained have been clearly explained. The strategic level is controlled by him, the great son of heaven, but the specific tactical level can be handled by trusted ministers.

Emperor Taizu Gao's style of diligently governing the country does not apply to him. After all, there is an essential difference between the early Ming and the late Ming. Some contradictions and disadvantages.

Seeing Wang Qia and Li Banghua leaving and walking towards the side hall of the Military Aircraft Department, Emperor Chongzhen picked up a memorial and said to Wang Chengen: "Wang Banban, go and call me Cao Banban and Luo Yangxing."

"Here!"

The matter of the Military Aircraft Department has been settled, and the inner court and the factory guard also need to solve some problems. As the emperor of Ming Dynasty, there are many things that need to be done.

After Wang Chengen left, Emperor Chongzhen looked through the memorials submitted by Zhou Yanru and the others. Through these memorials in front of him, he could understand more intuitively. what's going on.

'The skills of Cao Huachun and Luo Yangxing are really good enough. '

After seeing the memorial about the factory guards confiscating the house thief Shuo Shuo, Emperor Chongzhen's eyes lit up, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said inwardly: "By following the vines, more than 170 million taels of silver were confiscated, and there are dozens more. Wanshi's grain, and some fields in the suburbs of Beijing and Tongzhou, etc., I am a little excited to see it. '

I think Li Zicheng, the courier uncle, took out tens of millions of taels of silver after he entered the city of Beijing. Among them was his father-in-law, all of whom cried poor, but in fact they were all utterly rich.

In the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, this is like mountains of gold, but how to copy out these silver coins bit by bit by legal means will test his means.

The purge of the inner court must be promoted as soon as possible. First, practice with the Shuoshu hidden in the inner court to cultivate a group of professional house raiding teams.

After reading this memorandum, Emperor Chongzhen also made up his mind. Since there were many house thieves and rats under the Ming Dynasty, he should use political struggle to tear their true colors apart.

The most indispensable thing in Ming Dynasty is to be an official.

The identity of Daming son naturally has certain advantages. With Daming's existing game rules, every time a batch is killed, beaten, and pulled, and on the premise of ensuring that the internal order of Daming is not chaotic, this extra income Isn't there a steady stream of money?

Governing this huge country with rotten tops and bottoms and intertwined roots still needs to pay attention to some methods and methods. You can’t treat the head with a headache and treat the foot with a pain. Wouldn’t this fall into a strange circle again?
