Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 542 Full of courtiers and workers, how do you hesitate and haw?

It was Fu Zonglong's plan to mobilize the soldiers from the north of the capital to go south to hunt down Gao Chuang, and Chongzhen was the one who made the decision.

Regardless of Fu Zonglong's governor Jizhen, Liaodong, and Baoding's military affairs, he needs the emperor's consent to deploy troops.

Now that Chongzhen asked him to resign, he immediately froze in place.

For such a small matter, just let yourself go home?
At that time, no one in the entire imperial court came up with any ideas, and the entire capital was in a great panic, only he came out in a hurry to pick up the burden.

It ended up like this!

"His Majesty."

Chongzhen waved his hand irritably, telling him to get out and stop talking nonsense.

The mobilization of so many court troops not only failed to stop the high trespasser, on the contrary, there was an incident of fighting between the officials and the army.

With such consequences, what excuse do you, Fu Zonglong, have?
Once the emperor's face is gone, there must be a minister underneath who needs to take the blame.

Fu Zonglong, the right servant of the Ministry of War, could only cup his hands and say, "The grassroots lead the order."

He took off the black gauze cap on his head, put it aside, then turned and left the palace with a long sigh.

"The Zhangjiakou Fort was burned, and the commander-in-chief You Shilu could not escape the blame. He was ordered to resign and return to his hometown, and the deputy commander-in-chief did the job of the commander-in-chief."

Chongzhen had a bad impression of You Shilu. Man Gui, whom he trusted the most, died in battle, but You Shilu was injured and escaped.

In addition, You Shiwei pursued the traitors of Tianjin Wei, and without any news of victory, he went directly to Baoding Mansion.

Compared with Hei Yunlong and Ma Dengyun who were captured by the Houjin Tartars, he looked down on You Shilu who had escaped even more.

Because Hei Yunlong never made it clear that he wanted to surrender to Huang Taiji, he only admitted that he was a prisoner. Huang Taiji showed his generosity and did not kill them, but gave them a generous reward.

Now Chongzhen made a big announcement to arrest Hei Yunlong's family members, and secretly sent Hei Yunlong's son to secretly write a letter to let Hei Yunlong come back.

"Yes." Minister of War Xiong Mingyu replied.

"The high-ranking thief has already run to the grassland, and colluded with that tiger rabbit again. It seems that he wants to march thousands of miles and return to Shanxi Town." Chongzhen sat on the chair:

"Zijinliang and others have been involved in Henan again. Now there are rebels even in Shandong, and there are bandits everywhere. Let's talk about it, how should we deal with it?"

Chongzhen had just dismissed two high-ranking officials, one civil and one military, and none of the veteran cabinet members on the platform spoke immediately.

Everyone knew how angry the emperor was trying to hide his calm face.

At this time, Xiong Mingyu, the new minister of the Ministry of War, could only bite the bullet and say:
"Your Majesty, Fan Jingwen, governor of Henan Province, once led his soldiers to serve the king, but he may not be able to calm down by himself.

Now that they had reached Baoding Mansion, Zuo Liangyu and Deng Qi all went to Henan to suppress the rebellion.

The rest of the soldiers should be transferred back to the northern part of the capital to prevent Huduntu from breaking through Xuanfu or Jizhen. "

Xiong Mingyu had just taken over Liang Tingdong's position, the seventh minister of the Ministry of War in the fourth year of Chongzhen.

Because Liang Tingdong was the most important promoter of "instigating" Chongzhen to increase Liao's salary, he has been impeached all the time, and in addition to the fact that he has been working for more than a year, the strength of the rogues has become stronger and stronger.

Then the emperor reluctantly approved his resignation and asked him to go back to his hometown to reflect.

In any case, it was Chongzhen's own idea to increase Liao's salary, but he asked Liang Tingdong to say it, and he had to resolutely implement it, thinking that he would be rehabilitated in the future.

As for the first five Ministers of the Ministry of War, three deaths and two dismissals were investigated.

Chongzhen hummed through his nostrils, but more and more rebels were suppressed: "The intruders can enter and exit Juyongguan smoothly, and the guards beheaded to show the public."

"Yes."

Xiong Mingyu, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, responded, he knew the injustice of the general's death.

Who told His Majesty not to publicize Gao Chuang's departure from Beijing in order to save face? He just dispatched troops to encircle and suppress Baoding Mansion, thinking that he would join Zijin Liang and other rogues in Yongping Mansion.

If Gao Yingxiang's head can't be cut off, can the emperor still not be able to cut off the head of the Juyongguan guard?
"Is there any movement from Shanxi Hammer Bandit He Jinzhao?"

Seeing that no one spoke, Chongzhen asked again.

Yang He, the former governor of the three sides, was rescued by the hammer bandits. So far, there is no news of Yang He's murder.

This made Chongzhen have to wonder whether Yang He really had plans to support bandits as the most important thing.

"Return to Your Majesty, they are currently besieging Lu'an Mansion."

"King Shen?" Chongzhen clenched his fists, and asked immediately, "What happened to the bandits in Shaanxi?"

Xiong Mingyu, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, thought for a while: "Your Majesty, Hong Chengchou is progressing smoothly, and he is leading various ministries to encircle and suppress the remaining rebels in Shaanxi."

Relying on the elite and superior forces in their hands, the officers and soldiers encircled and suppressed the rebels scattered all over Shaanxi, and made great progress.

However, the bases around Tiejiaocheng (now north of Huanxian County, Gansu Province) encountered difficulties.

Tiejiao City has high mountains and deep valleys, and the situation is dangerous. It has always been a place where the government's rule is weak.

Hao Lin'an, Ke Tianfei and others imitated He Jinzhao's long-term division of land farming and animal husbandry here for a long-term plan!
Hong Chengchou would not leave Shaanxi easily if these stubborn sites were not wiped out.

"Well, the decree is to tell Hong Chengchou to wipe out the Shaanxi bandits as soon as possible, and then enter Shanxi to encircle and suppress the hammer bandit He Jinchao."

"Yes."

Chongzhen issued an order to urge all the soldiers and horses to put down the bandits as soon as possible.

He had nothing to do with the intruder Gao Yingxiang who ran to the grassland.

Who let Lin Danhan break into the Datong Mansion and force him to reopen the exchange point? This year, when the Jurchen Tartars have nothing to do, he doesn't want to give Lin Danhan three townships.

The relationship between the two parties was not handled very well.

Now let Chongzhen ask Lin Danhan to do things, he can't bear this face.

All he could do was urge his subordinates to desperately wipe out the bandits.

The most important thing is that Chongzhen felt that the burning of Zhangjiakou, an exchange market point, happened just to take advantage of his own wishes.

Originally, the exchange point was not his true wish, but now it is closed, and he will not receive much tax money, so there is no big loss.

He heard that many people in the grassland had smallpox, but he hoped that Gao Yingxiang would catch the disease and die after walking more than 1000 miles.

This saves a lot of work!

Chongzhen felt that it was nothing if the Zhangjiakou Exchange Market was burned, but a group of nobles were really dumbfounded.

Gao Chuangzei not only set Dazhigu on fire, but also caused a lot of losses to all parties.

He blocked the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal again, making their transportation costs much more than before.

But still acceptable.

Now that Zhangjiakou is set on fire again, their losses are even greater!
Doing business with the Mongols is really making money, these people don't know the goods.

The nobles jumped in a hurry, and they all spoke like Chongzhen, wanting to encircle and suppress Gao Yingxiang and his gang of bandits.

What I lost was my own money!
But the reason the nobles said was not Zhangjiakou, but that Gao Chuang thief wanted to break into the Huangji Gate and kill His Majesty.

Such acts are tolerable or unbearable, and the intruder Gao Yingxiang must be cut to death.

Chongzhen was still very happy when several honorable representatives said such words.

At least his and Xungui's interests are all linked together. If Daming is gone, where would they go to replace him as a minister?

"Your Majesty." Zhu Chunchen gritted his teeth and said, "This kind of rebel, everyone can kill them."

Chongzhen nodded rather touched, and suddenly thought: "Everyone, the current situation is difficult. Even if the salary of my soldiers in Ming Dynasty is increased, it is not enough. Are you willing to donate?"

Hearing the emperor asking for money, Zhu Chunchen and other nobles were dumbfounded.

It is the court's business to pay the soldiers, so why should we pay for it!

Is it reasonable for the emperor to ask his courtiers for money?

"Cheng Guogong, take the lead." Chongzhen's words were full of encouragement.

Zhu Chunchen's face was a little ugly: "Your Majesty, minister, minister."

The rest of the nobles also quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look at Chongzhen, or even speaking.

Chongzhen frowned: "The courtiers and workers, how do you hesitate?"
