Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 908 Talent Reserve (Two in One)

As the emperor's courtier, the eunuch Gao Qiqian sent a blind fortune-teller named Zhou Yuanzhong, accompanied by six people, to Shenyang to discuss peace.

Huang Taiji did not return from his expedition to Korea, so the kings entertained the Ming envoy and asked him to bring back a letter.

The general content is to urge Ming Dynasty to take effective measures to achieve peace. In fact, the Qing court knows that Ming Dynasty will not easily make peace talks.

It will only give Huang Taiji an excuse to attack Daming.

Faced with such a scene of internal and external troubles, Yang Sichang, Minister of the Ministry of War, made peace.

But according to the current situation, he didn't dare to say it clearly.

How could Daming have so many troops and money to support two-front combat?
Now He Jinchao is about to occupy all of Shaanxi. He holds the land of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces in his hands, and has become a veritable King of Northwest Hammers.

There is wolf smoke in the northwest.

In the hinterland of the Central Plains, hundreds of thousands of bandits rebelled.

After Liaodong Huang Taiji finished beating North Korea, he was about to make a move, either to fight Mongolia or Ming Dynasty.

They all tasted a huge sweetness in the war of looting Daming.

It can be said that now that Daming is really in a precarious situation, how can he have so much energy to deal with it separately?

Rogue bandits and sitting bandits have become a big problem!
Like Chongzhen, Yang Sichang did not dare to express his attitude, but just wanted to get support from the emperor.

He took advantage of the opportunity that the emperor had just finished studying to quote Mencius.

"A good fighter shall serve his sentence."

Mencius said earlier that when fighting for land, people died everywhere.

Fighting for the city, the dead lie all over the city. This is what people say is leading the land to eat human flesh.

People who like war so much, such as Sun Bin and Wu Qi, should serve heavy sentences.

Most people are illiterate if they don't understand this kind of words.

But Chongzhen did not read less, so he understood what Yang Sichang didn't say.

He replied that it was a war among nations, and today a vassal nation wants to fight us.

Even if you can't eliminate it, you can't make such a bad move. Don't talk about it like this in the future.

Yang Sichang quickly admitted that he was guilty, but he used lunar eclipse, Mars and other celestial phenomena to talk about peace.

Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Xuanda, is a main fighter and believes that the establishment of a state is indispensable.

After hearing the words of the Zhuhe faction, Chongzhen refused to admit it, but he was moved in his heart.

He invited Lu Xiangsheng to Beijing to ask on the platform how to get along with the Qing army?

Lu Xiangsheng replied loudly, His Majesty ordered the minister to supervise the teacher, and the minister could only fight.

Chongzhen immediately changed color, and was stunned for a long time, and said extremely unhappy:

"The imperial court didn't talk about appeasement, and those who advocate appeasement are all foreign ministers."

Lu Xiangsheng directly interrupted the hope of peace negotiation, and said three major rebellions.

The Qing soldiers forced the mausoleum to shake people's hearts, and went to Shenjing to regret the roots of our Ming Dynasty. They separated from Jinan, plundered our Hao County, and strangled our food supply.

With such a serious matter, is it possible to appease him?
Where is the face of the first emperor of Ming Dynasty?

How can the people of the capital keep their fighting spirit?

How would the gentry around you and the soldiers who fought against the Qing army feel?

Chongzhen couldn't answer, but just asked him to discuss with the Minister of the Ministry of War.

As a result, the main battle and the main peace had a big quarrel. Lu Xiangsheng pointed at Yang Sichang and advocated peace, and Yang Sichang loudly argued that he had never said such a thing.

Lu Xiangsheng directly told the story of Zhou Yuanzhong, a blind fortune-teller, as an emissary, and the whole world knew about it. How long did the Minister of War think he could keep it a secret?
Yang Sichang became dumb all of a sudden, and quickly shouted who Zhou Yuanzhong was, and he didn't know him at all.

Because of the imperial court's claim to the Qing, their respective teams quarreled.

Chongzhen also cherished his life very much, and refused to get involved in the end, or at most, let the two parties fight.

Court disputes always exist all the time.

Compared with the court disputes, Yang He, the father of the Minister of War of the Ming Dynasty, is accepting a new batch of students.

Most of these captive Shaanxi officials have heard their names before, and some have not.

Yang He was quite satisfied with He Jinzhao's handling.

Otherwise, he would be too boring alone, and he just happened to punish this group of people.

Lu Zhiqi and the others originally thought they would be important by He Jinzhao, but after the assembly, a few corrupt officials were killed, and the rest were relocated to Taiyuan, so frightened that they thought they would be sent to dig coal mines.

Fortunately, I met the boss Yang He, and everyone hurried forward to make connections, asking what happened?

As for the process of Yang He being taken away by Jin Yiwei and then appearing in Taiyuan City inexplicably, it is no longer important.

The most important thing now is to find out, do they want to mine?

Yang He pinched his white beard, leaned on the recliner, and looked at the group of people huddled in the room for warmth.

Really happy, he didn't know how many could fall into He Jinzhao's eyes, but he knew that He Jinzhao's strength was rising.

His own stupid son became Minister of War of Daming, which really made him a little worried.

Because of that position, how many people can safely retire?

Compared to the excitement of a "school" in Taiyuan, He Jinzhao seemed a little deserted in Xi'an.

Yang Yuxiu immediately dispatched a large number of cadres to count the people and landlords and gentry in Xi'an.

Count the population first, then measure the surrounding land, and kill everyone who should be killed.

Those who should be sent to dig coal are also sent to dig coal, iron ore, and so on.

He Jinchao held the news from Wu Guojun that Huang Taiji led more than [-] troops to attack North Korea.

In his opinion, this matter is definitely a big deal.

Huang Taiji didn't need more than [-] people to conquer North Korea, but he brought so many people every time.

He Jinzhao sometimes thinks again, is he engaging in war to support war?

"Master." Ji Gui put another document aside:
"Li Zicheng was beaten by Hong Chengchou and fled into the mountains to hide, but Zhang Xianzhong gathered tens of 10 people, and his momentum was huge."

He Jinchao put down the letter in his hand, and picked up the battle report to look at it. Li Zicheng was beaten to death when he first raised the banner of Chuangwang.

It seems that the ability to command a large army to fight is not as good as that of Zhang Xianzhong!
"I hope Zhang Xianzhong can stand firm for a while, so that Li Zicheng can have more time to cultivate."

He Jinzhao put down the paperwork in his hand: "I used to have great expectations for this colleague. It seems that I don't know him well enough."

Ji Gui had a smile on his face. He was a bandit at the beginning, but his master calmed down and became a bandit in Shanxi.

There are not many opportunities for rogues. As long as the Tartars like Liaodong have their own basic board, they can do more things.

Even though Zhang Xianzhong fought with the officers and soldiers, he didn't have his own territory.

Don't look at Daming's deployment of troops around Shanxi, but they are only doing more defense, and they don't dare to take the initiative to provoke the hammer bandits.

As for the hammer bandits who are about to occupy Shaanxi, does the Ming court dare to fart and send troops to fight Shanxi?
Now they don't even dare to use the means of besieging Wei and saving Zhao. Don't look at the promotion of the fierce Lu Xiang to Xuanda as governor, but it still doesn't work.

Lu Xiangsheng first drags Jiang Xiang, the current commander-in-chief of Datong, to his camp.

Ma Chengxi has already been raped by the emperor, and Jiang Xiang has the help of the head funded by He Jinchao, and he successfully ascends to the throne.

In the entire Datong Mansion, from top to bottom, who can't get through the hammer?

Then the royal family will be left.

But Dai Wang is also in a dilemma. He wants to hold the entire army in his hands so as not to become someone else's bargaining chip.

But the last time he rewarded the city guards a little bit, he was severely praised by the emperor, and almost sent to the newly restored Fengyang Zhongdu Shouling.

The Ming emperor was so wary of the vassal king that the Dai Wang was tied up.

When He Jinzhao returned to Shanxi from the capital, he took the Xuanda route all the way, and there was food and grass supply along the way.

This is also the hammer bandit saying that as long as you provide food, I will not attack the city and let you continue to be an official in Daming.

Most magistrates will choose to let the wealthy households in the city shed some blood, and we spend money to buy peace.

This is also the kind of Lian Lu Xiangsheng, who likes to ride alone and goes to work with a Guandao, begging the emperor to transfer his old Tianxiong army to his side.

Because in the boundary of Xuanda, he couldn't organize the loyalty of the people and soldiers to Ming Dynasty.

Especially as soon as the news of the government's increase in wages came out, the surviving people in Xuanda and other places flocked to the hammer bandits, hoping to get the land and live a good life.

Lu Xiangsheng could only organize the army to garrison the fields and be self-sufficient, and he couldn't rely on the people if he wanted to.

As for the increase of taxes by the Ming court, it is tantamount to killing many people who had hope for the Ming Dynasty and pushing them to the side of the rebels.

Now assembled in the middle of winter, Lu Xiangsheng was called by the emperor to report to the capital.

Not only did he not hear how to deal with the Hammer bandits, but he quarreled with Minister of the Ministry of War and others because of war or peace against the Qing Dynasty.

In the past, Ji Gui was just an unsuccessful candidate, but now he is very excited to see his lord getting stronger and stronger.

The future is limitless, maybe we are also the founders of the country, and we can leave a name in history.

It can be said that He Jinzhao's civil servants are holding their breath.

Who knows that the future is bright, now is the time to work together.

"My lord, the people in Lanzhou City took the initiative to open the city gates to welcome our troops into the city."

Zhang Fuzhen held the good news that Gao Yigong had just sent, only a few officers and soldiers ran to the farther boundary.

But it's not a problem.

He Jinzhao took the battle report and glanced at it. It was probably that Gao Yigong was making rapid progress. Many counties surrendered without a fight. The officials he brought with the army were probably not enough.

In the past few years, a large number of officials have been trained in Shanxi, as well as many Hammer Bandit soldiers who have retired due to disabilities, and they have been given jobs.

But the whole of Shaanxi is too big, and it is not enough to transfer many people from the whole of Shanxi.

As for Su Wang fleeing in a hurry and being arrested, it's nothing serious at all.

He Jinchao sent someone to call Yang Yuxiu, who was busy, and asked if there was enough work for the officials and the propaganda team?
Yang Yuxiu nodded again and again. There are too many places in Shaanxi. Although they have been harassed by the army and bandits for many years, there are still people in the villages that should be there, and it is necessary to carry out village integration.

Once this is done, many contradictions will arise.

It's all unavoidable.

He Jinzhao nodded slightly, stood up and took a few steps:

"Shanxi is basically on the right track, and it is time to transfer a group of officials and let them go to expand the territory, and then ask if there is anyone who wants to resist the pressure?"

"Yes."

Yang Yuxiu hurried down again. Although He Jinzhao had cultivated a large number of talents when he was in Shanxi, there were still not enough people to control each village according to the territory.

"My lord, do you intend to cooperate with the local gentry?"

Zhang Fuzhen pinched his beard and asked, in fact, there is no need to kill him with a single blow.

"Under my Hammer bandit rule, how can there be any gentry?" He Jinzhao tugged at his short beard:

"Leaving their lives with a few acres of land is already extremely generous. I would rather have insufficient talent reserves and not use them if there is a little chaos.

At that time, all the local powers will be theirs again, and the cycle will repeat. If I unify the world in the future, I will also work for them, and I will not do this kind of thing. "

Even if there will be new landlords in the future, He Jinzhao doesn't want to plant hidden dangers at the beginning.

The local tyrants and evil gentry must be beaten.

Someone has to give up the benefits in order to make most people live better.

Zhang Fuzhen stopped persuading him. Fortunately, his lord had previously reserved a large number of talents. The deputy village chief and town chief, and the county officials all had apprentices, making them a bit redundant.

Now that I have been transferred, I have to continue to transfer, and many problems have been solved at once.

As long as it goes well, one year is enough to see results in Shaanxi.

"I remember many children who graduated from school, and it's time to come in handy."

He Jinzhao pulled off a beard and suddenly remembered the many students he had trained.

Even Li Dingguo and others have graduated and have practiced in villages and towns.

"There are also soldiers serving in the army. There have been no wars recently. They are also drawn out and led to help count the population around Shaanxi, investigate local tyrants and evil gentry, hold grievance meetings, form peasant associations, and so on."

Zhang Fuzhen didn't make any sense about it, the lord was originally a way for the military to manage the people, so it was normal for these soldiers to do this kind of thing.

"My lord, I'm going to inform Staff Officer Yang right now."

After Zhang Fuzhen went out, Ji Gui bowed and said, "My lord has the foresight."

He Jinzhao waved his hand, never caring about the matter of scholars taking the imperial examination.

"Get through this wave first, and we will have a better life in the future. We don't need to subsidize Shaanxi. Otherwise, relying on Shanxi's richness, we might as well not have Shaanxi."

He Jinzhao is extremely worried about the disaster situation in Shaanxi every year.

After all, the local government had a headache before, and most of them were bad.

How can people like Zhang Fuzhen and Chen Qiyu desperately lead people to build water conservancy projects in order to suppress bandits and maintain the rule of Ming Dynasty, in order to make the dry fields produce food, stabilize people's hearts, and provide them with a good base.

He Jinzhao believed that when most of these people would own their own land, what kind of enthusiasm would erupt.

In short, the current difficulties are temporary, and you can get over it with a little bit of grit your teeth.

And there is no need to worry about Da Ming's attack on the hammer bandits' base area at all.

Before He Jinzhao could say anything more, another letter came from outside, which was from Qinghai.

After Ji Gui took it, he checked the wax paint, then slowly opened it, and quickly browsed it. It was probably written in the name of Er Zhe.

Because the Mongolian Khan Lin Danhan died of smallpox in Qinghai.

The current successor, E Zhe, begged for the Khan of Heaven.

"My lord, your old Mount Tai is gone."

"When did I have Lao Taishan?" He Jinzhao frowned slightly, and heard Ji Gui say, "Lin Dan Khan got smallpox and died."

He Jinzhao:? ? ?
