Be the emperor from the postman

He Jinzhao stood in front of the map of Liaodong, looking from Shanhaiguan to Ningyuan City, Xingshan, Songshan and other places.

"Besides negotiating peace and sneak attack, what else does the lord want to intervene?"

Zhang Fuzhen was also observing the maps of the Ming and Qing battlefields.

"There is a sea route here." He Jinzhao pointed to the sea area and said:
"If Hong Chengchou can't persist, he can still transport grain from Ningyuan to Songshan, and ask Wu Guojun to make preparations in advance."

"clear."

Zhang Fuzhen responded, this is the last resort.

It is best to take advantage of Hong Chengchou's failure to hold on and ask the Mongols to attack Shenyang and Horqin tribes. When Huang Taiji is distracted, ask Daming to deliver food and grass.

If this battle doesn't last for two or three years, He Jinzhao won't allow them to end.

The idea given by He Jinzhao was quickly delivered to Wu Guojun.

As for himself, he is planning to marry Zheng Zhihu's daughter.

He Jinzhao found out that none of his father-in-laws could survive!
Wu Guojun couldn't help sighing, the Ming-Qing duel in Songshan, the one who worried most was his own commander-in-chief.

Thinking about it this way, how many people in the imperial court put their minds on the Songjin battlefield?

Of course Wu Guojun didn't think that his commander in chief was behind the scenes, he only felt that it was his luck that the commander in chief helped the dog emperor in the capital!

Then Wu Guojun went to see Yang Sichang who hadn't gone to Beijing to rest.

For Wu Guojun's meeting, Yang Sichang was still grateful.

After all, he did such a good job outside, if Wu Guojun hadn't tried his best to turn the tide, he would have died of shame.

Although the body has not recovered to its original state, at least half of his life is still hanging.

Wu Guojun said: "The supervisor will be able to regain control of the Ministry of War when he enters Beijing this time."

"Chen Shangshu has done a good job. I'm afraid it's wrong to change people rashly."

Wu Guojun knew Yang Sichang's position in Chongzhen's heart, not to mention the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, which no one was willing to do.

Only Chen Xinjia took the initiative to join in and was promoted by Chongzhen.

"Master, now that the war in Liaodong has reached a stalemate, Chen Xinjia simply doesn't have the ability to command the battle at the front line, and he will only slow down. He is not as good as the supervisor in terms of strategy."

Hearing Hou Jingliao's praise, Yang Sichang nodded unconsciously.

Regardless of whether he commanded battles on the front line or won, at least he was more experienced than Chen Xinjia, who had never commanded "thousands of troops".

After all, the experience of failure is also experience!

"But I'm also a little unclear about the situation in Liaodong."

Why did Wu Guojun look for Yang Sichang? Because Yang Sichang previously implemented the strategy of fighting against the outside world first, he wanted to negotiate peace with the Manchu Qing, and specifically deal with the peasant army in the territory. die.

Then because there was too much discussion in the court, and Yang Sichang wanted to be transferred to avoid it, so he went to chase and kill Zhang Xianzhong as a supervisor.

Now that he is back, he can just send a signal to the Qing court, and we can still talk about peace negotiations.

"Master, I have been in the frontier fortress for a long time, and His Majesty granted me the title of Marquis of Jingliao.

Although I have never been to Liaodong to fight, I am always ready to go to Liaodong to serve the country. "

Wu Guojun spoke with sincerity, and immediately said: "I have some strategies, and I also ask the supervisor to give them to the staff."

Yang Sichang also knew that His Majesty was asking him to come back and solve the problem.

"Tell me, I'll give you a staff officer."

After Wu Guojun said all of He Jinzhao's ideas, Yang Sichang squeezed his beard and nodded repeatedly, but he had some ideas.

As expected of a battle-tested warrior, Marquis Jingliao made it clear about the strengths and weaknesses of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and even tried to trick them in the name of peace negotiations.

"Good, very thoughtful."

Wu Guojun stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Master Supervisor, please tell His Majesty for me, after all, His Majesty trusts you the most."

Then Wu Guojun left without waiting for Yang Sichang's refusal.

Yang Sichang thought for a long time, and could only sigh with emotion that Jingliaohou is really the pillar of the Ming Dynasty, so he copied his homework with peace of mind.

After all, he can't come up with any decent strategy at the moment, and since he escaped from the dead, his heart has been smoothed out.

This person who wished to extend Daming's life, after all, felt his own insignificance under the historical trend.

There are some things that non-human beings can contend with.

After Wu Guojun promoted these matters according to He Jinzhao's wishes, Ji Gui, who was a military adviser, also took his leave and returned to Shanxi to meet the commander-in-chief.

When Chongzhen learned that Yang Sichang had returned with his sick body, he quickly called to the platform to summon him, but did not call for the others.

The two monarchs and ministers told each other about their experiences, as if old friends reunited.

"Aiqing, I almost lost sight of you."

There were some tears on Chongzhen's face.

Yang Sichang was also very touched that His Majesty did not blame him for the disadvantageous war in Huguang and Sichuan.

And for the first time ever drank with him.

When the wine was full, Chongzhen confided his heart to Yang Sichang while holding the wine glass: "Jingliao Hou advises me to rest more, and don't always worry about state affairs."

After directing the battle on the ground, Yang Sichang also understood a truth, the fact that his subordinates ask you to rest is really for the good of the country, the people and you.

In order to prevent you from commanding randomly and delaying other people's fighting on the front line.

"But I'm always in a bad mood." Chongzhen put down his wine glass heavily, and patted his own chest:

"Since I came to the throne, I have eradicated the eunuchs, made great efforts to govern, and vowed to rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty, but the current situation has indeed made the Ming Dynasty crumbling. Not only the tomb of the ancestors cannot be preserved, but even a small postman dares to sit on an equal footing with me.

I am in the palace, I can't even protect my own son! "

Could Chongzhen not be clear about the death of his fifth son?

Otherwise, how could he, who has been holding back all the time, take the initiative to return the money he wanted?

From his point of view, neither the nobles nor the court ministers are on the same line with him.

Regarding this matter, Yang Sichang had also heard about it, who would dare to discuss anything in the palace, not to mention that even if it was evidence, he couldn't find it.

If Xungui did this kind of thing, he would definitely be able to do it with clean hands and feet.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say, it's not very good." Yang Sichang raised his wine glass and said, "Maybe we can get some money."

"Tell me." Hearing that he could get money, Zhu Youjian's eyes lit up immediately.

"Your Majesty can find two trustworthy nobles to cooperate with the factory guards to investigate the corrupt officials in the capital."

"It's not that I haven't checked, how much money do they have?"

After all, Yang Sichang had traveled all over the place, and he knew how rich the officials were, and even relying on being an official, his nephews and brothers in his family were embezzling land unscrupulously, which was also the main factor that led to more and more rebels.

"Your Majesty." Yang Sichang said while holding a wine glass:
"For example, Ding Guogong, let him take the lead, and told him that these corrupt officials want to hand over 100 million taels of silver. If they can't find out so much silver, let them make up for it. His Majesty allows them to take a little from it. used to owe them money."

Regarding Yang Sichang's words, Zhu Youjian was a little hesitant. After all, the treasury was empty, and he couldn't borrow much money even if he asked for money.

"Can it work?"

"Your Majesty, it's very good to try." Yang Sichang also wanted to make money.

Without money, nothing can be done at all.

In addition to the food and salary that His Majesty promised him earlier, it really came into his hands, and he could achieve three successes because he was the emperor's favorite minister, and he didn't dare to go too far.

The money in these people's hands is more than less.

100 million taels of silver, in Yang Sichang's view, is enough to support the war in Liaodong.

Anyway, those civil officials will fight back, just to push the boat along the way, so that the civil officials will retaliate against each other among the nobles.

Party struggle is the norm in the court, so it's not as good as getting money in your own hands.

If both parties pointed their finger at the emperor, Yang Sichang could suggest that the emperor throw out the admiral of Dongchang. He heard that Wang Zhixin was very rich, but he was extremely stingy.

After Chongzhen thought for a while, he was ready to agree, but he still had to choose this candidate.

"Cao Huachun."

Chongzhen called Cao Huachun from the Waiting Bureau and asked him, "Do you have anyone to recommend?"

Cao Huachun wanted to retire and return to his hometown, but he also wanted to keep his rich life, but the eunuch Wang Dehua, the supervisor of ceremonies, did not deal with him.

First of all, the eunuch Wang Dehua, the supervisor of ceremonies, could not do it. This person had a close relationship with Chen Xinjia, so his subordinates were not convicted of embezzlement.

With Yang Sichang around, it was certain that Chen Xinjia would lose power.

And Cao Huachun's internally appointed successor was Fang Zhenghua, he understood what Yang Sichang meant, and this kind of action could not be appointed once for the sake of balance.

At that time, the only ones who will be thrown out to take the blame can only be the factory guards, and they must not use their own successors.

Then the remaining people who want to go up have to deal with Wang Dehua.

"Your Majesty, Du Xun, the eunuch in charge of Shangshan Supervisor, can take on the important task."

After listening to Cao Huachun's words, Chongzhen nodded and decided to let Du Xun take charge of the matter.

"Your Majesty, with money, we can better support the Liaodong battlefield and defeat the dog tartar Huang Taiji!"

Yang Sichang held his wine glass with a rather ambitious look.

"good."

Chongzhen also raised his wine glass, he was really trapped by money all these years, if he can get money, that would be great.

With 100 million taels of silver, he felt that arresting a few corrupt officials would probably not work. After all, he was experienced in this matter.

Because of Yang Sichang's "Return of the King", there was a sudden ripple in the court.

The first to be hit was Chen Xinjia's people.

Du Xun also wanted to climb into the Supervisor of Rituals, so he worked very hard together with Duke Ding and other nobles.

A new round of anti-corruption storms in the capital has begun.

In Taiyuan City.

Jin Li led a few people around, but He Jinzhao didn't restrict his activities and didn't care at all.

He sniffed and smelled it, and he didn't expect that there was a restaurant selling sauerkraut stewed fat here.

It was just a small stall with two broken wooden tables, which were polished brightly.

Jin Li's throat moved, and he immediately led several people to sit directly on the table.

"Boss, serve sauerkraut."

Several people took off their cotton hats, revealing their pigtails of money.

The boss, who was originally smiling, changed his face when he saw them showing this hairstyle, and immediately responded.

When the sauerkraut and white meat were served, the woman filled rice for everyone, but she also had a bad face.

The couple stood by the pot, and the little boss held the firewood in his hand and poked the fire.

Jin Li drank the soup, glanced at the patrolling people, smiled and asked the masters if they would like to have something together, he treated them.

On the contrary, the patrol captain said coldly: "I just want to see if you, a bitch, will pay you."

"I'm in He Dashuai's territory, do you dare not give me money when I go out to eat?"

Jin Li smiled and motioned the people around him to take out the triangular pieces of silver: "No need to look for it, this sauerkraut tastes really authentic!"

The woman stepped forward to put away the broken silver and stuffed it into her purse, without even saying what she used to say.

She didn't have a good impression of the dog tartar.

Jin Li had never suffered such humiliation in the Qing Dynasty, but he forcibly endured it in the territory of the hammer bandits.

After the three Tartars put on their hats and left, the patrol captain stepped forward and said a few words:
"Brother Wei, these bastards are here to give gifts to the commander-in-chief, and they will stay for a while.

If they dare to bully you, just tell me, I will cut off their heads and hang them on the city wall. "

It was the boss who comforted his wife, stood up and said, "Captain Zhang, why did the commander let them out?"

"Who knows?"

Captain Zhang shook his head, there were some things he wouldn't say outside.

When it was Shenshi, the husband and wife packed up the stalls, went out of the city with their burdens, and went to the town to pick up their son and go home.

Wei Jing sat by the stove, warming up the fire and lost in thought.

He was a spy of the Qing Dynasty, and he didn't want to farm or fight, so he settled down with a small business.

Even his name was fake, he was registered in the household registration, and he was given a name by the way.

At the beginning, Wei Jing said that his family was a five-star family, and all his elder brothers were killed by the Tartars.

When I went to Datong, I was assigned to Taiyuan by chance along with the release of the hammer.

Then he took a woman who had been abused by the Tartars, and gave birth to a son in two years, who was quite intelligent, and begged to go to the school with the neighbor's child, where it was warmer.

And sauerkraut white meat in winter, the business is better.

Wei Jing held the piece of silver in his hand, not knowing what to say.

Seeing his uneasiness, his wife sat aside: "Our life is good now, Qi'er is still young, don't be provoked into anger, and join the army to fight the Tartars."

Wei Jing just patted her hand lightly and didn't say anything.

The days are pretty good now, and he is also used to staying away from swords, guns, swords and halberds.

But the Tartars outside the pass suddenly appeared in front of him and offered the agreed money, which upset Wei Jing.

He didn't want to kill the Tartars, but he was afraid that if he was exposed, he would not be able to accompany his wife to live a simple life in Taiyuan.

Wei Jing originally thought that Marshal He was so powerful that he would be able to sweep the world in the future, and the possibility that the Tartars outside the customs would send someone to contact him was extremely unlikely, but he never thought that Huang Taiji would give up his face to give Marshal He a gift.

The thing about giving gifts is fake, but the thing about contacting these spies is true.

When Wei Jing thought of them threatening him to assassinate He Jinzhao, his scalp tingled.

Even though He Jinzhao is quite close to the people on weekdays, why does Lao Tzu have to kill him instead of living a happy life?

The husband and wife wrapped themselves in quilts to warm each other, Wei Jing closed her eyes, but she didn't fall asleep as usual for a long time.
