Chapter 78 Eighteen Riding Away from Shangluo, the Eight Great Kings bowed down and surrendered!!

“Whew, the second sin! After two edicts of sin, you can see how entangled and angry Chongzhen’s heart is! ”

“The people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to deceive! The country is dying, natural disasters are continuing, great drought and locust plagues, this…”

“A decade of intractable problems? Oh, this new soldier Shangshu is pertinent. Chongzhen has been on the throne for ten years, and he still has no success in internal and external troubles! ”

“I see that he is a faint king, and Daming died in his hands, not unjustly!”

As the situation deteriorated, people’s mood became more and more anxious.

Daming, Daming! What can save you? Countless people have raised their own questions in their hearts!

Like Chongzhen of the light curtain, they thought about one thing: “Where is the way out for Daming!” ”

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly found that the corners of his eyes were a little moist, and he actually burst into tears, and he muttered and asked: “Daming, where is the way out!” ”

Xu Da, Tang He, Liu Bowen and others did not give a definite answer, and even if they did, they could not solve the problem.

Because it is not they who face the situation, but Chongzhen!

“During the Chongzhen period, the heavens were different, how could it be a great disaster for many years! Alas, if it were not for these natural disasters, the Ming army’s suppression of the uprising would not have been so tortuous. ”

“Yes, when the disaster victims are cornered, they are not allowed to join the rebel army! It’s an endless loop! It was good to say when the country was strong and the people were rich, and the imperial court at the end of the Ming Dynasty? In my old opinion, there is no solution! ”

In Daqin, the courtiers above the imperial court were noisy and quarrelsome.

Zulong’s eyes were deep, looking at the chaotic world at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and sighed: “The people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to deceive!” ”

“Is it true that the heavens want to torture and destroy the Ming Dynasty?”

He looked at Yang Sichang who appeared in the light curtain worriedly, and his brows furrowed: “Can he solve things?” ”

“Yang He’s son, Yang Sichang!”

He had an intuition that this person was not ordinary.

[Yang Sichang is familiar with the canons, rich in eloquence, and his literary thoughts are gushing, and he talks eloquently, which is different from the previous military department Shangshumu who was sluggish and could only talk big.

With the deepening of the harsh environment of internal strife and internal strife, Chongzhen’s indiscriminate killing became more and more serious, seven of the governors were killed, and eleven were appeased!

But only to treat Yang Sichang, consistently, treat him with courtesy, almost obey him, and sigh again and again: Hate with Qing!

And Yang Sichang is also a person who takes on big things, serving as a secretary of the military department in the quagmire of internal and external troubles, in response to this situation, he proposed to Chongzhen a plan that no one else dared to think of!

One and one, one war!

Suppression of the Qing Dynasty, suppression of the rebels!

The two fronts of fighting will inevitably exhaust the Ming dynasty and eventually lead to its demise.

It’s better to concentrate on dealing with one way, and the other way to discuss peace for the time being, slowly plotting it!

He also pointed out that although the Qing army is strong, it is a strong enemy, which should not be underestimated, and cannot be regarded with the attitude of the heavenly empire! Internal troubles should be put in the first place and eradicated as soon as possible.

Therefore, he advocated negotiating peace, stabilizing the situation near the Jingshi Division, concentrating on it, and annihilating the rebels in one go!

Emperor Chongzhen was moved, of course he knew that the Ming Dynasty could no longer fight on both sides, otherwise it would inevitably perish! And Yang Sichang’s other two suggestions, he is very worried!

Yang Sichang also put forward two requirements: enough food and then foot soldiers; Only the people can be killed!

In order to quickly annihilate the rebel army, it is necessary to ensure the strength of the army, where is the strength of the army? In the money grain, in the reserve!

Deploy more “salaries” and “training salaries”, increase the number of troops by 120,000, increase the salary by 3 million taels, take equal losses, overflow, and send prisoners to supply the army!

Take Shaanxi, Henan, Huguang, and Jiangbei as the four zheng, and the four inspectors are divided and suppressed, and the special defense of Yansui, Shanxi, Shandong, Jiangnan, Jiangxi, Sichuan, is the six corners!

Four squares and six corners, ten sides of the net, annihilate the rebel army in a short time!

Chongzhen was extremely shocked, now that the people are not living, the clouds have risen in all directions, in this case, it is better to send more money and increase the army?

It is even necessary to submit to the barbarians of Liaodong and negotiate peace!?

But his heart beat violently, and his heart moved! If you destroy the rebel army in a short period of time, suppress the uprising, and then turn around and concentrate on dealing with the Jurchens outside the Guan!

Maybe it works?

At the suggestion of Yang Sichang, Chongzhen successively sent more wages and training salaries to the people, concentrated heavy troops, and surrounded and suppressed the rebel army! 】

Boom, people of all eras exploded.

They, like Chongzhen, never expected that someone would be as crazy as Yang Sichang!

“Peace!? Can the great power of Shenzhou negotiate peace with the barbarians? I Daming does not accept such humiliation! ”

“Yang Sichang, the man of calamity to the country! Can’t he see that the world is no longer in poverty? There is also a tax increase, this is not to push the people to a dead end! ”

“Chongzhen actually accepted it, I bah, I thought he was a Dao Ming Jun! Yang Sichang is a traitor, and Chongzhen is also a dim monarch! ”

Discussing peace with the Qing army, adding salaries and training salaries on the basis of Liao’s salaries, both of which are simply challenging everyone’s nerves and making people’s scalps numb.

“Boss, you are the prince, do you think Yang Sichang’s proposition is correct?”

Zhu Di turned his head sharply and stared straight at Zhu Gaozhi.

Zhu Gaochi was startled, but he immediately fell into thought: “Father Emperor, the sons and daughters think… It’s hard to say, it’s hard to say! ”

“Well, it’s hard to say? I’m making it hard for you to say! ”

Zhu Di kicked Zhu Gaoxu, and asked Zhu Gaoxu again: “Second brother, what do you think?” ”

Zhu Gaoxu finally got the opportunity, and said impatiently: “Father, big brother, do you still need to say this?” Yang Sichang said that fighting on two fronts will die! It’s better to go all the way first, and then concentrate on the other, right? ”

Zhu Di smiled coldly and glared at him……. Late Ming Dynasty, Forbidden City.

Chongzhen leaned his back on the ground, supported his hands, and muttered, “Chongzhen, heavy sign, heavy campaign!” ”

“I can’t live with the people of the world!”

That year’s words were still ringing in his ears, and he said sympathetically in the edict: “Three salaries and factions, temporarily burden my people for one year!” ”

However, after the start of the campaign, it has not ended for a year now, and the annual salary is as high as 20 million!

“The people are not living, they are all destiny!”

Is this a stain that you can’t erase in your life? But for Yang Sichang, he couldn’t afford any hatred!

In the final analysis, Yang Sichang is a person who does practical things and works hard.

When the national government was in danger, everyone did not say anything, and only Yang Sichang came out to give him advice and find a way out for him.

He also did the proposal!

“Yang Sichang…”

[Ten years of Chongzhen, the curtain of “four squares and six corners, ten faces and open nets” has opened! ]

The implementation of this plan relied on the cooperation of Hong Chengzhuo, the governor of the five provinces, and Wang Jiazhen, the commander of the five provinces! Hong had already proved his strength in suppressing the uprising, while Wang Jiazhen, Yang Sichang, considered his mediocrity to be useful.

And Lu Xiangsheng is keeping filial piety at home and cannot be served!

As a result, he pushed Xiong Wencan, the governor of Liangguang, to take over the important task!

Under the coordinated command of Yang Sichang, the governors made great progress in encircling and suppressing the rebel army!

In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai, and Liu Guoneng of Huguang were defeated, and they were successively appeased by Xiong Wencan. Yang Sichang was very dissatisfied, after all, his father Yang He was pitted by them, and he advocated to kill them!

However, Chongzhen and Xiong Wencan sought merit and believed in their surrender.

At about the same time, Li Zicheng, the king of Shaanxi, was beaten in a mixed doubles between Hong Chengzhuo, the governor of the five provinces, and Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi.

He was kicked like a ball and kept beating, and eventually weakened.

In May, Li Zicheng’s army was defeated, and he led Liu Zongmin, Tian Jianxiu and other eighteen horses to flee to Shangluoshan!

In two years, the rebels were devastated!

The leaders of the two major uprisings were severely damaged, and the voice of the uprising was sluggish! Yang Sichang’s “ten-year unending situation” seems to have come to an end! 】
