I, The Identity of the Immortal Master, Has Been Exposed

Chapter 79: The victims of Beiping City!

Cao Bianjiao knelt down on one knee excitedly: "Your Majesty has a life, but please order, the last commander will die!"

"$7!" Chongzhen resolutely ordered: "For a long time, the Daming Guard has been rotten, the military system in various places is in chaos, the fighting strength of the millions of troops is weak, and there is not one out of ten who has the strength to fight."

"It coincides with natural disasters in Henan, Shanxi and other places. What you have to do is to select 30,000 strong people from the disaster victims to set up a march. I canonized you as a general from the second rank to determine the country, and you are solely responsible for training the march and setting the world for my great Ming Dynasty. !99

"The commander-in-chief!"

Cao Bianjiao shook his head with excitement, and he never thought that His Majesty would use him so much.

From the second-rank Dingguo general, and from the word Dingguo, it can be seen how much Chongzhen trusts him.

The number of 30,000 new troops may not sound like much, but if they are all equipped with new-style firearms, this is definitely the future emperor's army. Even in the face of an army of millions, he will have the courage to fight!

However, after regaining his senses, Cao Bianjiao was a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. I don't know how much money you are going to allocate to the last general. This recruits new troops for training. But they all need money.

"How much do you want?" Chongzhen asked with a half-smile.

"At least two million!" Cao Bianjiao said with a wry smile: "The five or six-three refugees are weak, and if they want to become elites, they must eat and drink well, as well as armor, war horses, weapons, and firearms, all of which need money. , at least two million silver is needed to turn around.""

"two millions?

Everyone was speechless, and they were all startled by the big opening of Cao Bianjiao's lion.

Wang Chengen snorted even more angrily: "General Cao, the treasury is empty now, and there are less than 200,000 taels of silver left. If you want 2 million, where will the sage get you?

Although it was said that he copied the homes of several banned troops and the former commander of the Military War Bureau Fan Tong, a lot of money was collected, but the War War Bureau was also a giant beast who swallowed gold. Wang Chengen was about to cry, how could there be any money.

When Cao Bianjiao heard the sound, he said depressedly: "But the prince, you can't let the soldiers train on an empty stomach without a silver general?"

Bi Maokang also said embarrassingly on the side: "If the Artillery Bureau wants to make artillery, it also needs a huge investment of silver. One million taels is just a waste of water."

Wang Chengen said distressedly: "You still need money to help the victims, where can I get you millions of taels?

A series of crying poor, so that the fiery emotions of everyone just now were instantly extinguished, several people looked at each other in dismay, and could only look at Chongzhen helplessly.

Chongzhen's face was indifferent.

Money? Isn't all the money there!

Chongzhen patted Li Yuanyin's shoulder and said with a smile: "Li Qing, I'll leave the matter of the money to you. 55

"Me?" Li Yuanyin was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, even if you sell Wei Chen, you won't be able to sell it for a few dollars.

"Then you should enter the Jinyiwei as soon as possible to build it. In this Beiping City, there are countless silver flowers waiting for you to fetch it for me."

Chongzhen pointed to the pavilions and pavilions in Beiping City, and a terrifying cold light flashed in his eyes.

Now that the firearms are built and the manpower is enough, it's time to get those bloodsucking worms to work!

Chongzhen stood on the tower of the Imperial City, looking at the scene in Beiping City, with a condensed look in his eyes.

The sun rose slightly, the sun poured down the earth, and the big Beiping city seemed to be divided into two sides.

On one side, it was foggy and dark, and hundreds of thousands of victims were crowded into the civilian area of ​​Peiping City, desperately waiting for death.

On the other side is the mansion of high-ranking officials and generals, with pavilions and pavilions, brightly lit, like a fairyland under the sunlight, but who knows how much darkness is buried there?

In recent years, disasters have occurred frequently in various places in Daming. The floods in Shanxi have washed away countless fertile fields, and hundreds of thousands of victims have fled to the capital.

In Henan, it snowed heavily in May, and it was freezing and snowing. I don't know how many people died of freezing and starvation.

Hundreds of thousands of disaster victims gathered in Peiping City, and Peiping, the largest city of promise, became crowded at this time.

Thinking of what Ye Yu said about the tragic situation of the Little Ice Age, Chongzhen couldn't help breathing heavily, and his palm hidden in his sleeve couldn't help clenching quietly.

"Your Majesty!" Cao Huachun's voice sounded behind Chongzhen.

Hearing this, Chongzhen turned around and looked at Cao Huachun, who was kneeling in front of him, with a faint gaze: "Hua Chun, why hasn't the luxury porridge started in Beiping City, do you think that the hundreds of thousands of disaster victims will starve to death?

Cao Huachun's body softened, he knelt down in front of Chongzhen, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, it's not that slaves and maids don't have extravagant porridge, it's really that there is no surplus food in my Beiping City.

"The slaves personally sent people to investigate. Now, of the 30 granaries in Peiping, 28 have been emptied, and the remaining two granaries are not enough for the 300,000 disaster victims for two days."

"Then let the people from the Ministry of Household buy it!" Chongzhen's face turned pale, and he immediately said sharply: "There is still money in the treasury, so let the Ministry of Household buy food immediately. Can't you starve to death on the street?"

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it won't work." Cao Huachun said with a sullen face: "The Ministry of Household has already purchased food and grass in the capital, but it is a drop in the bucket!"

"Because of the influx of many victims, the price of food around the capital is also increasing day by day. Now a stone of grain has skyrocketed to 32 taels, 300,000 taels of silver, I'm afraid it won't last a few days..."

"How many?"

Chongzhen's eyes bulged and he sucked in a breath of cold air.

32 Two silver and one stone of grain, are you crazy?

On weekdays, the price of grain that is a few taels and a stone has risen tenfold. Is this going to force all the common people to death?

"What's going on?" Chongzhen was furious and asked sharply: "Didn't we just allocate a lot of grain from Jiangnan, why is there a shortage of grain in the capital, what is going on?

"Your Majesty, calm your anger!" Cao Huachun hurriedly explained: "According to the survey of slaves, it was all those unscrupulous traders who secretly raised the price of grain, and the price of grain is still skyrocketing now!"

"Damn!

"These goddamn bastards!

Chongzhen's eyes were red with anger, and he suddenly thought of the eight imperial merchants that Ye Yu mentioned, and also thought of the tragic situation of tens of millions of people starving to death.

With these scumbags that harm the country and the people, how can the people not starve to death!

Chongzhen looked at the victims wandering on the streets of Peiping City, and was even more furious, and said sharply: "I immediately order Fan Jingwen to send people to negotiate with the major grain merchants, if they continue to drive up grain prices, I will kill them!

"Yes!

Cao Huachun breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go down to give orders when suddenly, Chongzhen stopped him again.

"Wait, let Li Yuanyin come over first, and you can accompany me to Peiping City for a walk."

"Your Majesty. 35 Cao Huachun was startled, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the city of Peiping is in chaos now. It is possible to go to the city now..."

"It's okay!" Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "Could it be that I can still have an accident in my own Beiping, why don't I go quickly.""

"Yes!"

Cao Huachun took orders and left, while Chongzhen returned to the palace and changed into his regular clothes.

A quarter of an hour later, Chongzhen brought Cao Huachun, who was wearing civilian clothes, and Li Yuanyin, avoiding the guards on duty in the palace, and slowly walked towards the inner city of Peiping.

"Your Majesty, the last commander has completely mastered Jinyiwei according to your instructions." Li Yuanyin followed behind Chongzhen, and while looking around vigilantly, he whispered: "The former Jinyiwei Luo Yangxing has been controlled by the commander, I don't know. how to deal with it."5

"Combine the house and kill the nine clans!" Chongzhen said lightly.

"...!

Li Yuanyin was taken aback by Chongzhen's ruthless means, and he was stunned for a long time before quickly responding.

"Do you think my methods are too cruel?" Chongzhen glanced at Li Yuanyin and asked lightly.

"Don't dare." Li Yuanyin waved his hand quickly.

Chongzhen was silent for a while, pointed to the victims around them, and said with heartache: "Look at these victims!

"Their homes were destroyed and they fled to Peiping in order to survive, but what happened to them in Peiping?"

"The wine and meat of the Zhu family stink, the road is frozen to death, the dignitaries not only do not have money, but crazily lie on my body to suck blood, unscrupulous grain merchants madly raise the price of grain, the ordinary grain price is now alive and well. More than ten times higher, this is digging the foundation of my Ming Dynasty!"

"Da Ming's roots are already rotten, to save Daming, the only way is to cut the mess with a quick knife! 35 Chongzhen's eyes were filled with determination, thinking of Ye Yu's strategy for governing the country, his voice became more and more cold: "Scraping bones can heal wounds, only All these abscesses and stubborn diseases on Daming's body can be removed before they can be exchanged for a new life!""

"If you kill 10 million people, you can save me Daming, Li Qing, do you dare to kill? 55

Li Yuanyin was silent.

He looked up at the surrounding scene.

Countless victims in tattered clothes, yellow-faced and thin, wandering in the streets of 0.6 level in the north.

Their expressions were numb and deaf to the reactions of the outside world, as if only a body was alive.

Li Yuanyin's palm gradually tightened.

Suddenly, in the corner, a sad voice sounded.

"Mother, mother, don't die! 35

"Mother!

Chongzhen and the others turned their heads, and saw a little girl with yellow face and thin skin and withered hair lying on top of a woman, crying.

The woman lay motionless on the ground, her eyes were wide open, and she stared at the sky silently, as if she was accusing the injustice of fate.

The people around looked at the scene in front of them numbly, without any reaction, it was common for such scenes.

Li Yuanyin's blue veins burst out on his forehead, and suddenly he knelt down in front of Chongzhen on one knee, and said in a low voice, "The last general is willing to do my best for His Majesty, and only after death!"

Chongzhen nodded, still looking at the little girl.

After being silent for a while, Chongzhen suddenly said: "Cao Zhengchun, send an order to let the Ministry of Household mobilize the treasury silver, and immediately buy food, as much as you can buy.

"Yes! 99

Chongzhen looked up to the sky and sighed, but his eyes became more and more determined.

To save Daming, it's time to start killing people!
