Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 685 Faith Lost (Part [-])

Yang He already knew about what He Jinzhao did. When he visited the Hall of Valor, he went to see the new tomb, and it was recorded on the tombstone.

He revealed this to Zhang Fuzhen, but he didn't believe it.

Now that He Jinzhao had slipped his mouth, it aroused Zhang Fuzhen's suspicion and a little bit of belief.

Seeing that He Jinzhao ignored him, Zhang Fuzhen confirmed his thoughts even more.

It is by no means an easy thing for this postman to get to where he is today step by step.

"Although the soldiers in the Beijing camp have been rectified, they are not very powerful."

Ever since Zhang Fuzhen was captured, he really wanted to discuss the situation of Daming with others, especially with the rebel in front of him.

"Li Banghua, a member of the Donglin Party, was extremely effective in rectifying the military affairs of Jinmen in the first year of Tianqi.

In the first year of Chongzhen, His Majesty wanted to offer sacrifices to the heavens, but none of the honorable ministers around him could take on this important task. It happened that Li Banghua supervised this matter, and he managed it very effectively. The next year, he was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War.

When he rectified the Beijing camp, half of the more than [-] people were old and weak, and most of the rest were nobles who used their servants to replace their places to receive reward money, and most of the remaining soldiers became their handymen.

After the elimination, there were only [-] pioneers and [-] strong men left, and these people were all weak soldiers.

As for the war horses, they were all borrowed by dignitaries without returning them. After some rectification by Li Banghua, the Beijing camp finally got better, but he also offended a large number of nobles.

After the Jin Tartars invaded, Li Banghua tried his best, but his subordinates shot and wounded Man Gui.

Li Shouqi, the governor of Xiangcheng, hated him for cutting off his fortune and being dismissed as a bandit, so he sent someone to impeach him and was dismissed from office.

The people who succeeded Li Banghua later took him as a lesson, followed the old ways, tolerated traitors, and let you thieves and bandits enter and exit Beijing like no one's land. "

He Jinzhao continued to smile, but he didn't stop Zhang Fuzhen from complaining. He could only live with his mouth for now.

"Your Majesty, seeing that the Beijing camp is like this, he can't trust civil servants, and he can't trust nobles. In the end, he can only trust eunuchs."

Zhang Fuzhen pointed to Dongfang from a distance: "However, the internal officials like Cao Huachun and Du Xun know some military and political methods, and they will do superficial tricks to fool Your Majesty.

Let a group of eunuchs lead the Beijing camp to Henan, they will only pick peaches while watching a show! "

"Tut tsk tsk." He Jinzhao put his hands in his creaking hole:

"I don't think you're a fool. You clearly know the problems of Daming, but why no one does it. Do you think this is the biggest problem?"

Zhang Fuzhen was even more silent.

"I don't know how many people like you are in Daming, but none of them stepped forward to turn the tide.

You said whether it was the Donglin Party or the Eunuch Party, or the emperor didn't give you a chance. Now they don't give you the soil to become Yu Shaobao and Zhang Juzheng at all. "

He Jinzhao looked at Zhang Fuzhen and said with a smile: "Actually, you all know everything, and understand more principles than me, a postman.

But they just didn't deal with it, and let the people starve to death after the natural disaster.

Let the officialdom become corrupt, let the army become corrupt, and let the government and businessmen collude.

Jin merchants in the north colluded with the Jurchen Tartars, and salt merchants in the south dared to kill the imperial envoys.

The frontier army has no food and no pay, the southern army is tired and lazy and almost becomes a private army, the middle-level officers are eager to enjoy the blood of the soldiers and the military pay, and the senior officers are only available to servants.

It's not that Nurhachi and Huang Taiji are too powerful, so didn't Nurhachi become Li Chengliang's servant and learned his skills from him? "

Yang He heaved a long sigh when he heard that, everyone knew that Daming was seriously ill, but not everyone had the courage to become Yu Shaobao.

When the imperial court handles affairs, it doesn't mean that whoever can handle the matter can be let in.

When you come out to hang out, you have to pay attention to the relationship between fellow villagers, teachers and students, and fellow rankings, as well as the consideration of the interests behind the respective parties.

"That's right, it's not just that." Zhang Fuzhen still grinned and said:

"Believe it or not, Hong Chengchou wants to command the governors of Shanxi and Henan. Both governors will write their own letters, and they are not afraid to go thousands of miles away to ask the emperor for instructions."

"I've heard of the mutual excuses among these civil servants." He Jinzhao tapped on the chessboard:
"I want to know when Hong Chengchou can implement the strategy he has set to regain Shanxi?"

"I don't know." Zhang Fuzhen looked at He Jinchao and said, "He thinks you are a bit strong, so he is very cautious."

"What?" He Jinzhao asked rather puzzled:

"Why does he think I'm strong!

Is it because I let him suffer a setback in Ganquan City when everyone has not developed yet? "

"Did you kill Mangurtai?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" He Jinzhao snorted a few times:
"Who in the world doesn't know that Wu Guojun, the chief soldier of Ji Town, was conferred the title of Uncle Jingliao by the Ming Emperor because of killing Mang Gurtai?"

"It was you who killed it!"

Zhang Fuzhen couldn't help laughing out loud, and she shed tears when she smiled.

Done.

Daming is really over!

Previously, he suspected that Wang Chengyin, the general soldier of Yansui, was deliberately released by He Jinchao, but Wang Chengyin performed well under his rule, and he kept beating and killing the peasant rebels, gradually reducing his suspicion.

However, Wu Guojun, the dignified general of Ji Town, was the first person to be knighted for his military exploits during the Chongzhen period.

The core area of ​​Beijing's first city defense is in his hands, and he has huge interest entanglements with the imperial court bandits.

Even Wu Guojun's canonization was due to the contribution of He Jinzhao, a traitor. Zhang Fuzhen thought about it, but it was really ironic.

He Jinzhao was really not bragging when he said that Daming was wiped out, and he would really become a giant bandit by then, so the Ming army should open the door for him and let him in.

The emperor can still run?

Yang He knew why Zhang Fuzhen was crying. As a person with the idea of ​​serving the country, he collapsed after knowing the truth.

Sometimes, people who are deceived by lies live a happier life, because the world does not rotate according to your expectations.

Your peers exclude you, your subordinates betray you, and even the emperor doubts you.

I have worked so hard to appease the people, raise food, support the soldiers, try my best to provoke the bandits, and put down the rebellion.

He wanted to change this phenomenon of Daming through his own efforts.

But everyone has to muddle along, you just want to go against the sky, you are not tired, who is tired?
Why bother?
"what."

Zhang Fuzhen lay on the chessboard and cried bitterly. He was almost 50 years old, and he cried worse than a confinement baby.

He Jinchao and Yang He walked out of the room and closed the door intimately for him.

The collapse of adults is often in such an instant.

"I heard that he was about to jump into the Yellow River to commit suicide because he was dismissed from office, and now his heart feels ashamed."

He Jinzhao didn't say anything absolutely.

Yang He pinched his beard and said with emotion: "He is a stubborn person, I hope he can understand many things after crying.

Like the old man, if he has nothing to do, it's none of my business if the sky falls, wouldn't he be able to live more happily? "

wow.

The door was pushed open.

Zhang Fuzhen's eyes were red and swollen, and he stood at the door with disheveled hair.
