Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 135 The Empress Dowager Strikes

Chongzhen was quite annoyed by the mess within the imperial court and the party disputes.

Liaodong, which is the most threatening, has recently started to make small moves. The thief slave Huang Taiji did not fully control Houjin, and fought Yuan Chonghuan a few more times.

The only thing that upset Emperor Chongzhen was Yuan Chonghuan's murder of Mao Wenlong, but as a politician, he would kill them all, and it was useless to be angry.

I had to praise the living Yuan Chonghuan for his good work and continue to use him.

As for Yang He's appointment, it was quite a replica of Yuan Chonghuan's appointment.

Because Yuan Chonghuan boasted that the Liao Dynasty was flattened for five years, Emperor Chongzhen used him very much.

At the beginning, the governor of the three sides "Wu Zhiwang died of illness", and no one in the court wanted to take advantage of the mess. Yang He bragged, and then Chongzhen was very happy and sent him.

The results now seem to be doing well.

What Baishui Wang Er and Liang Wang were wiped out one after another by him, and the soldier Zhou Dawang led the uprising, which was suppressed by He Huchen.

In particular, Hong Chengchou, a capable general, appeared under Yang He.

At the beginning, with a motley army, they defeated Zuo Guangzi, the largest peasant army in Shaanxi.

Then push the peasant army all the way, and the situation in Shaanxi is very good.

Now Emperor Chongzhen is looking at Yang He's report, which shows a row of peasant army leaders who surrendered, such as Zuohangzi, big red wolf, king who doesn't get muddy, messy, and has no serious name.

It is simply delusional to ask a group of illiterate peasant soldiers at the bottom of the army to give them some high-end names. It is best to call them loudly.

Now Emperor Chongzhen is looking at this list, which shows that Yang He has methods.

At the beginning, some people in the imperial court were not optimistic about Yang He's boasting, saying that he was bound to fail.

Now Yang He is doing very well.

It can be seen that I have a good eye for employing people!
If Chongzhen trusts you, he will reuse you, but once he finds out that you have lied to him, then it will be over for you.

Hong Chengchou once again defeated Wang Jiayin, the leader of the largest uprising army in Shaanxi, and took tens of thousands of prisoners.

Then Hong Chengchou led the imperial army to besiege the small characters entrenched in Ganquan County.

Post soldier ~ He Jinchao.

There are only 3000 people in hand, and it is known as tens of thousands of people.

Previously, I personally wrote a letter and sent the son of He Huchen, the general of Ningxia, to persuade him to surrender, but the rebel He Jinzhao refused.

Yang He believed that when His Majesty saw the news, Hong Chengchou had already conquered Ganquan County and captured and killed the leader of the bandit.

He didn't blindly advocate appeasement, he must strangle the leader of the thief who doesn't know how to appreciate the great kindness of the court.

Emperor Chongzhen was very satisfied with Yang He's method of appeasement and appeasement.

From this point of view, the situation in Shaanxi as a whole is very good!

Because Wang Jiayin and Zuo Guangzi fled and surrendered, Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang was also beaten and fled.

Except for these three big thieves, the rest of the thieves are just playing tricks, not worth mentioning.

Chongzhen was also satisfied with Hong Chengchou, but he thought that he still needed to let Hong Chengchou practice, because Hong Chengchou was still young.

That's right, in the eyes of the 37-year-old Chongzhen, the 19-year-old Hong Chengchou is still a little younger and needs more experience.

to be reused later.

At the end of the zhezi, Yang He hoped that the court could allocate some money to appease the rebels.

Seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen frowned slightly.

The court has no money!
Capitalism has sprouted in the south of Ming Dynasty. If you say there is no money, it is a lie!
However, everyone likes to live a thrifty life, and likes to bury gold and silver in the cellar, which is not circulated in the world, so there is no money.

Even in the developed south, if there is a disaster from time to time, they will not pay taxes.

The imperial court can't collect taxes, so it can only increase taxes with the people. After all, military expenditures are quite a lot.

Liaodong is a money-swallowing beast.

But the apportionment of this military expenditure does not fall on the rich.

The common people can't survive, so they can only raise poles and rebel.

Now Yang He wants to use money to buy the safety of Shaanxi, and hopes that the superiors can approve it.

Because he knew that the rebels rebelled only when they had no money or food. If they had money and food, they would not rebel.

At the same time, a solution was also given. The money is now distributed to farmers to help them resume their businesses.

Doing so can not only eliminate the rebellion, but also allow the court to collect taxes when the peasants stabilize.

Because Kou is also the youngest son of my Ming Dynasty, I should caress him.

The money spent can be returned to the court.

After all the calculations, this is a good deal, and I even did something in the middle!

Yang He threw the question to Chongzhen, but the Ministry of Household Affairs had no money.

Chongzhen gritted his teeth and decided to support Yang He with some money from his private house.

After all, the subordinates helped you with the matter, and it was done very well, so how could you not help him.

As for Chongzhen, he doesn't have too many ideas yet, he thinks that Yang He will play some language arts to deceive him.

Chongzhen will become more and more suspicious from now on, no doubt there are too many courtiers playing tricks, so they will directly make him ptsd.
After all, exaggerating military exploits is an old tradition of Ming military generals. Whoever made the court a coward, the rewards had to be distributed at a discount!
Military generals report military exploits, but civilian officials are not allowed to add a sum. How did I lead wisely?
Is there no credit for being the eunuch who supervises the army?

Yuan Chonghuan won the Ningjin Great Victory, and the ones who deserve the most credit are a series of eunuchs such as Wei Gonggong. What great credit does Yuan Chonghuan have?

Yang He's proposal is very good, but it is unrealistic. Once the court runs out of money, will these people still feel at ease as obedient citizens?
He didn't even think about whether the disaster in Shaanxi would continue.

Shaanxi is now unable to farm on a large scale.

But Yang He, a person who doesn't know soldiers, can give Shaanxi a solution.

Emperor Chongzhen thought it was good after reading it, but he was attracted by the two words given by the postman.

Because the abolition of postmen can save money, but the calculated money saved has not been seen by Emperor Chongzhen until now.

But a group of postmen who had no food and clothing also rebelled, which made Chongzhen very angry.

Because the imperial court believed that the post station cost money, and did not consider the future source of life of the postmen.

In short, you are all the farts that the Ming court thinks can be sacrificed!

The post station was abolished, and the officials below wanted to take the opportunity to suck blood!

That's why He Jinzhao and his ilk turned the tables, fuck you, you guys have something to eat, we have nothing to eat!

Then I started my own business to find a job!
Rebellion is a matter of course for them!

Don't blame us for coming to the capital to ask for salary in the future!

A fortune teller told Zhu Yuanzhang earlier that the Great Ming Dynasty flourished in the southeast and finally in the northwest.

Chongzhen felt that the threat from the thieves in the northwest was not great, but the threat from Houjin Dongbei was greater.

In particular, he felt that the fortune teller's inaccuracy was far-fetched.

Deliberately opposite to the southeast!
Chongzhen shook his head, and kept the booklet aside. The postmen were abolished. Some thieves wanted to be thieves, and that was because of his ulterior motives.

It is definitely not the reason for his own administration!

Even if the station is not abolished, people like He Jinzhao will want to follow the thief.

From Chongzhen's point of view, these people are inherently evil, and they can't help the desire in their hearts if they are even slightly seduced by foreign objects!

"Report."

A little eunuch was terrified, took the booklet, and sent it directly to the imperial court.

He knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, a large number of post-Gold Tartars have appeared in Zunhua, Jixian and other places in Hebei."

"What?" Emperor Chongzhen stood up immediately.

Why can the post-Gold Tartars appear in these two directions.

Then Yuan Chonghuan's Guan Jin line of defense couldn't defend against the Houjin Tartars?

Or he surrendered and sacrificed!
