Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 337 The Qing army is about to go south again
The fact that Ma Shiying was transferred from the southwest of the central governor of the court soon caused a great sensation in the entire Ming Dynasty official circles.

In the eyes of many politicians who are good at political infighting, this is the best opportunity to attack Ma Shiying's political forces.

The censors began to impeach officials who had a good relationship with Ma Shiying, such as Ruan Dayue, the right servant of the Ministry of War.

Zhu Youjian sometimes wanted to dismiss all these officials, because these officials often did not do any facts, but they were very concerned about intrigue and political power competition. The change of the emperor's mind was very sharp.

But Zhu Youjian will not easily obey the wishes of these officials in many cases. He knows that behind these convincing impeachment memorials are all hidden political selfishness, and he will be used if he is a little careless.

Zhu Youjian didn't know if his IQ could control these old foxes well.

He didn't dare to make a decision easily to show his stupidity, and he didn't dare to show his purpose clearly so that these officials could easily capture his purpose and make use of it.

For example, in the case of Fan Jingwen, he just kept silent on the impeachment of Fan Jingwen and only said something old-fashioned about Fan Jingwen, which made the whole court clamor that Fan Jingwen, the chief assistant, would not be able to continue.

However, there were very few officials who really paid attention to the fact that the Manchus were about to go south again.

No matter what the officials below think and how smart they are, Zhu Youjian knows that what he needs most as an emperor is to always be clear about what is the most important thing at the moment.

The king of Chu is so thin, and the city is starved to death. As an emperor, what he pays attention to, the people below will follow.

Jinyiwei Commander Wu Mengming and Dongchang Admiral Wang Chengen are now the most frequently summoned officials by Zhu Youjian.

Although the Ming and Qing Dynasties in June of the 20th year of Chongzhen are still relatively peaceful, and there seems to be no major incidents in the Ming Dynasty, but the more peaceful this moment, the more it means that a new crisis is about to occur.

The only thing Zhu Youjian can do is to keep abreast of the latest news and the most news, so as to know what is going to happen through a lot of information.

"Your Majesty, according to my report from Jinyiwei, a large number of Qing troops gathered in Baoding, Jizhou, Hejian, Tianjin, Yongping, Xuanfu and other places in Beijing in recent days. Azig, Haoge, Abatai, Tan Tai, Hong Chengchou and others frequently entered and exited Dorgon's mansion. A large number of Qing troops appeared in Daming, Weihui, Ankang and other places. The people in the vicinity are implementing the strategy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness; it seems that this is a sign that Jiannu is about to send troops south."

The commander of Jinyiwei, Wu Mengming, reported the latest information of Jinyiwei to Zhu Youjian with a solemn expression, and Zhu Youjian couldn't help but support his forehead after hearing this, feeling quite irritable in his heart: "This Jiannu really knows how to choose the time, at this time Preparing to send troops to the south, knowing that our southwest is being eaten away by Zhang Xianzhong's Great Western Army, but to send troops to the south at this time, it's a really good plan."

"This must be the idea of ​​that traitor Hong Chengchou, he knows the situation in the pass best!"

Wu Mengming said angrily, although it is a bit rude to interrupt without reason in front of the imperial court at the moment, but it can also be seen from this that Hong Chengchou's defection to the enemy and his enthusiasm for the Qing Dynasty have made the commander of Jinyiwei, who has always been calm, treat him well. I also hated it to the bone marrow, and there was an emotional performance.

Of course, Wu Mengming also immediately realized that he seemed to be a bit talkative, so he hurriedly bowed his hands and pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty, my humble minister."

"Rebellious ministers and thieves, everyone will punish them if they get it. Aiqing hates evil like hatred, I can understand." Zhu Youjian waved his hand and forgave Wu Mengming's gaffe: "Listen, now I will try my best to find out the Qing Dynasty. The trend of the hall and the Southern Expedition, who is the commander, how many troops will go south, how many routes will be divided into them, and where they will go south, the specific time of the Southern Expedition, how much food and grass reserves, the morale of the soldiers and horses, how the equipment is, etc. must be checked and understood at all costs. In addition, If necessary, we can make an example to others, activate the eyeliner we planted inside the Qing court, kill a few traitors, let these traitors panic again for a few days, and don't make their lives easier!"

Wu Mengming took the order and retreated.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Youjian ordered someone to summon Wang Chengen, the admiral of the East Factory.

Before seeing Wang Chengen, Zhu Youjian stood up and stretched his muscles and bones under the wisteria flower stand. Lying lazily in the rose garden and squinting, the surroundings seem to be very quiet. I can't hear the sound of swords and guns from the southwest, and I can't see more and more money rat tails on the bank of the Yellow River.

Zhu Youjian looked into the distance, and Zhongshan still stood in the clouds. The mountains in the distance were green like flower barriers, stretching under the blue sky, as if isolating Jinling City from the troubled times.

You can vaguely hear someone's singing and singing echoing ten miles away, and there are still many high-ranking officials living around the palace walls. With the economic stimulus of Zhu Youjian's large-scale lending, the Jiangnan area seems to be more prosperous than before. The life of the bureaucratic class is even more extravagant. Even at noon in this hot summer, when wars will be staged around the country, there are still princes and grandsons enjoying a rich life in Jinling City.

It seems that today's Daming is still a flourishing age, and the world is peaceful.

Zhu Youjian didn't mean to blame these dignitaries. As long as they didn't violate the laws of the country and the righteousness of the nation, no one could punish them for their arrogance and lust. Zhu Youjian was just thinking now, these people are not worried about their current situation Could a life of luxury be taken away in a blink of an eye?

This rich and prosperous south of the Yangtze River, with beautiful rivers and mountains, is like a young girl in the [-]th year. I don't know how many forces covet her beauty.

Zhang Xianzhong's attack on Yunnan and Guizhou did not mean that he did not use Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan as the foundation to move eastward and occupy Jiangzuo and Jiangyou. The Manchu slaves would rather sit back and watch the bandit He Zhen occupy Hanzhong and mobilize the newly accumulated national power to plot Jiangnan again.

And in this fertile ground full of flowers and flowers, in the interior of the Ming Dynasty Hall, the dominance of various political forces over this land is also constantly being staged.

Zhu Youjian is now using his orthodox status as emperor to win over the gentry group in the traditional farming civilization society and economy, and using political and economic interests such as tariffs and knighthoods to jointly control the Zheng's group that controls maritime trade, and then to levy and control the army through commercial taxation Suppressing the civil servants in the Jiangnan commercial economy and society allowed the entire southern group to remain united under their own rule.

And now, just before he was familiar with how to be the leader of this southern bloc, the unwilling Manchu northern military brigade sent troops to the south again. In the competition between civilizations, the main groups on both sides participating in the war are Han Chinese, but the Han people in the north have an extra Manchu master.
