Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 443: Do You Want Money?

Chapter 443 Do You Want Money (Fourth Change)
After all, what happens in reality sometimes cannot be inferred according to normal logic.

Regardless of Shen Yikui's tyrannical strength, whether it is another big thief who has risen from Wang Jiayin, or whether he has gathered tens of thousands of people in a short period of time.

At this time, there were only 300 direct troops around Yang He, the governor of the three sides, and Hong Chengchou and others' main suppressing hawks accounted for the majority.

It has to be said that after the news that Emperor Chongzhen increased Liao's salary, people all over Shaanxi wanted to join the uprising army.

After becoming a rebel, you don't have to pay taxes, and you may be able to survive.

For this situation, Yang He is still pinning his hopes on appeasement, because the policy behind him does not cooperate with him.

The civil uprising could not be controlled, like Hong Chengchou thought that if too many people were killed, the rest would not dare to rebel against the court.

Shen Yikui still fears the Ming Dynasty in his heart.

So Yang He just sent someone to tempt him to surrender, and he was inevitably recruited.

After hearing the news, Yang He, the governor of the three sides, immediately became a young old man full of energy.

He was only forced to have no choice but to force his subordinates to give it a try. In the end, he really succeeded in recruiting Shen Yikui.

Shen Yikui was quite cautious. He sent more than [-] leaders, including Sun Jiye and Ru Chengming, to Ningzhou to accept the recruitment. At the same time, he sent the seals of Huishui County Jiang Yingchang and Baoan County to show his sincerity.

In order to publicize the matter, Yang He, the governor of the three sides, let all the rebels in Shaanxi, big and small, look at him.

Even Shen Yikui, who is the most powerful recently, has returned to Daming's arms. If you little thieves dare to rebel, just wait for Shen Yikui to encircle and suppress them.

Being a rebel has no future, being recruited by the court is the most promising thing.

Yang He ordered Zhou Riqiang to set up a Dragon Pavilion on the city tower, and guided the leader of the "appeased" to kneel and worship in front of the Dragon Pavilion, shouting long live, expressing his submission to Emperor Chongzhen who was far away in the capital.

Then a group of anti-thief leaders went to the office to pay homage to Yang He, and they went to Guandi Temple to swear together.

In any case, this group of people still believed in Guan Erye.

After such a performance, the two sides reached an agreement to recruit security.

Only then did Shen Yikui go to Ningzhou in person to meet Yang He, the governor of the three sides.

Yang He put on a posture of using both kindness and power, and first counted Luoshen Yikui as guilty of ten "crimes".

Hearing this, Shen Yikui, who was kneeling on the ground, frowned slightly. These civil servants were better than each other, and the top ten crimes were all revealed.

Immediately afterwards, Yang He announced the pardon and granted Shen Yikui the garrison (official document) to guard the official position. He used to be just a general, but now he has been promoted to a higher level.

The same position as Qian Zong, no rank, no quota, the status is below the guerrilla general and above the general.

Yang He sent Shen Yikuisan to print tickets for the hungry people in Jiangding, ordering them to be dismissed and sent back to their hometowns.

You are now a member of the imperial court, and you have to help the imperial court, so that most of the people under your command go back to farm the land to pay taxes, and work hard for the country.

Shen Yikui nodded in agreement, and according to Yang He's request, only some capable soldiers and leaders were left behind, and most of the rest of the troops were sent back to their hometowns with a small amount of money and a ticket for forgiveness of crimes.

These people were very disappointed with Shen Yikui. They wanted to rebel with you to gain fame and drink, but in the end you were recruited, leaving only a small number of people and driving us away.

But most people leave after receiving the money, as travel expenses, there is no place to stay here.

Although Shen Yikui couldn't bear it, he was still a member of the imperial court, and now he wanted to correct his evil ways.

Yang He, the governor of the three sides, hurriedly wrote a memorial to Chongzhen, saying that civil uprisings in various parts of Shaanxi had been basically suppressed, and he flattered the emperor wantonly.

It is precisely because the emperor took out 10 taels of silver from the internal funds, and the 5 taels and [-] shi of grain collected by the vassal kings were brought to Shaanxi by Yu Shi Wu Zhen.

Although they have not yet reached Shaanxi, the hungry people from all over the country have heard of the emperor's relief, and they have returned to their original places, ready to receive relief from the imperial court.

At the end, Yang He hoped that the emperor would come up with a little more internal money, otherwise the thieves would be extremely hungry and have nowhere to live.

He tried his best to maintain Shen Yikui's appeasement situation, and it was already very difficult, and he was unable to maintain the leader who was appeased before.

Otherwise, letting them put down their weapons and become obedient citizens is just wishful thinking.

These people have already tasted the sweetness of rebellion, how can they continue to be exploited as obedient citizens with peace of mind?
In addition, Dian Dengzi, who had returned from Shanxi, reunited with Shangtian Monkey, Huntian Monkey and others to spread the news of Chongzhen's salary increase, and the people in Shaanxi who could not survive naturally joined them.

Diandengzi and others broke through Jinsuoguan (Tongchuan City, Shaanxi Province) and killed Wang Lian, the governor.

The situation of appeasement in Shaanxi is true, but there are waves of ups and downs.

Yang He, the governor of the three sides, sent away the victory report written by Emperor Chongzhen, and sent it to the capital successively only a few days after Cao Wenzhao defeated Wang Jiayin.

Regarding Yang He's performance, Chongzhen also nodded, but felt uncomfortable about asking for money again.

But at this time, Li Jizhen, the censor, made another memorial. Liu Ra, the censor, brought 10 gold to Shaanxi. One gold per person can only live for [-] people, and seven coins for a bucket of rice can only live for fifty days.

The emperor should order the ministers to respond, is the first [-] gold really enough?
I hope that the emperor can add more money for disaster relief, so that all previous efforts will not be wasted. As long as the people are appeased and stop making troubles, what is the pity even if they spend some internal money?

Li Jizhen settled an account for the emperor here, pointing out that the relief funds distributed by the court were far from enough to solve the problems of farmers' lives and resettlement.

Therefore, he advised the emperor to focus on the big picture and not to cherish internal money.

Such words are difficult for Zhu Youjian, who is addicted to good goods and thrifty, to hear.

Since the starving people and the hungry army can't make a living, it can only be an illusion to ask them to lay down their weapons.

This point, Yang He himself is not clear, so he hopes that Chongzhen will not give up all his previous efforts and increase investment as soon as possible.

Chongzhen only praised Yang He verbally, but he and Li Jizhen completely denied his and Li Jizhen's proposal to continue to give money to the people to help the people.

Zhu Youjian originally thought that as long as he issued a letter of amnesty and a little relief, the uprising peasants could be sent back home, and they could still serve as "good people" who paid food and errands.

Now that I have given you all the money, and you want more money, do you want to be greedy for my money?

Even though I am the emperor, I have no money in my pocket!

Although Chongzhen only needed to take out the eunuch's one-month reward of silver in the Forbidden City, 50 taels, which was enough to accomplish many things, Chongzhen was unwilling.

Even though he attacked the eunuchs of Wei Zhongxian and others when he took office, he felt that his brother trusted the eunuchs, which caused the eunuchs to control the government, and Daming ended up like this.

After Chongzhen came to power, he had to correct it, and at the same time he suppressed the Donglin Party.

Such as Wen Tiren, Zhou Yanru, Wang Yongguang, Minister of War Shen Yongmao and other non-Donglin Party officials to check and balance the power of Donglin Party.

These four people are called the "Four Evils" by the Donglin Party. As long as you are not from Donglin, you will be labeled if you go up.

After Chongzhen cut out the two parties, he worked hard and worked hard, and he wanted to save Daming!
