Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 158

When hearing the news, Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting were discussing important military situations.The three of them all had stern faces. They temporarily put down what they were doing and looked at each other. They could all see each other's hidden worries, and immediately went to greet the angel.

If the imperial court still followed the previous way of handling the last great victory, it would be even worse for the current battle against Jianlu!
The angel was the head of the former household department's money. At this time, he was already Yuanwailang. Because of the investigation and punishment of the original Marquis Wuqing, he was promoted to a higher level, from the sixth rank to the fifth rank.The reason why he was sent to deliver the decree was obviously because he was one of the parties involved in this incident in the capital.

As soon as he saw the three scarlet-robed officials coming out to welcome him, he immediately smiled and congratulated: "Lu Shangshu, Governor Hong, Governor Sun, congratulations, such a great victory, really exciting, the emperor is very pleased, congratulations to you all!"

Hearing this, the three of them couldn't help being a little surprised.Therefore, if the imperial court followed the previous practice, it was likely to inspect the head, and then bargain with the coach to obtain a final confirmation of military exploits.But this time, the smile on the angel's face was not fake at all, and his attitude was also very good. It seemed to be a little different from what he thought in his impression.

In the last battle, Lu Xiangsheng only made strategies, and it was mainly Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting who led the battle. Therefore, after hearing this, Hong and Sun quickly replied: "It is the emperor who inspired the morale of our army and played an extraordinary role." Combat strength, otherwise, this great victory would not be possible!"

After finishing speaking, Sun Chuanting hesitated for a while, but finally asked: "Our army has suffered heavy casualties, and our troops cannot be replenished in time. We urgently need to revive morale. I don't know what the imperial court's response to the last victory document was. ?”

"Haha, Sun Zhongcheng, don't be anxious, don't be anxious!" Qian Yuanwailang couldn't help laughing after hearing this, "But you don't know that your victory document has caused a storm in the capital. It is really unprecedented since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Something happened before..."

Having said that, he paused, seeing the worried expressions on the faces of the three frontier officials, and then said with a smile: "The emperor has raised countless silver in order to save you from worrying about the future. Your great victory, Although there are people who criticize it, the emperor still rejects all opinions and will give you the truth."

Hearing this, the three couldn't help but be overjoyed, almost at the same time, the three of them spoke in unison.

"This is really great. Our army will definitely be able to regain its combat strength and fight the Jianlu again!" This was what Sun Chuanting said.

"Your majesty is wise, and the soldiers must do their best!" This is what Hong Chengchou said.

And Lu Xiangsheng also said at the same time: "I don't know what the turbulent waves are, the emperor must have endured a lot of pressure?"

The three of them spoke together, making Qian Yuanwailang a little confused about how to speak.So, he said with a smile: "Come, come, come, if everyone is here, first accept the imperial decree, if you have any questions, just ask the next official."

Upon hearing this, Sun Chuanting immediately went to the front tent to check on the generals who had arrived.

In fact, when they heard that the angel had arrived, there was no need to rush, and the generals of all armies rushed over immediately.Having fought such a big victory, the imperial court should show something at least. They don't know how many rewards they will get, and they are all very concerned about it.

Therefore, Qian Yuanwailang heard that everyone had arrived, so he stopped delaying and began to announce the decree.

"Following the fate of the heavens, the emperor said: You are working hard, and the army is using their lives. The battle against the captives is really a great victory that our Ming Dynasty has rarely achieved against the captives. I am very relieved..."

Hearing this, the people who listened to the decree, regardless of whether they were civil servants or generals, couldn't help but feel happy in their hearts.Admitting this great victory at the beginning means that their credit and the rewards of the soldiers should be indispensable.

Later, they were even more overjoyed when they heard that the imperial edict said that the military achievements they reported would be used as the basis. The court had no intention of verifying otherwise.In this way, that is more than 5000 beheadings. Although it is not as high as the reward for beheading Ye Bushou, this number is still very large!

"...The disabled soldiers are disabled because of me, and my heart hurts. If they are disabled to the point where they can no longer fight, they will be treated as upgraded to another level, and they will be used for other purposes; the soldiers who died in battle have elderly parents and children at home. Children, the imperial court raised them..."

Hearing this, everyone who received the order was very surprised.Although compensation for casualties, in fact, Daming has always had regulations.However, by the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was already a dead letter.Let alone the soldiers who died in battle, even the soldiers who are alive cannot even be paid their military salaries, and many of them have to sell their sons and daughters.

Therefore, the imperial edict once again emphasized pensions. Apart from the unexpected, they were also a little worried about whether the court had the ability to do this, not to mention that they were happy in vain.

After the imperial decree was read out, the joy of many generals disappeared immediately.They didn't hear what the angel said in the back tent, but based on their own experience and their impressions of the imperial court, they felt that the emperor was talking big and promised so many rewards and pensions, but this required money. Yes, how can the imperial court have money?

After receiving the order, Qian Yuanwailang said to them with a smile: "Three adults, and the generals, I believe you should have a lot of questions, and you can ask them all!"

Sun Chuanting had been waiting for a long time, originally he was going to ask after receiving the imperial decree.Hearing this, he immediately asked: "The angel said just now that the capital caused a storm for this great victory. I don't know what happened?"

Those generals didn't know, they were all taken aback when they heard it, they all looked at Qian Yuanwailang and listened curiously.

After hearing this, Qian Yuanwailang said with a smile: "When your victory report arrived in the capital, many officials didn't believe it and asked to check the head. The emperor believed you and tried his best to reprimand them. After affirming this great victory, we will raise money for your great victory. However, you should also know that the treasury has already run out of money..."

At this point, he paused deliberately and did not continue speaking in one breath.This incident was really so surprising that no one could have imagined what would happen next.It was a rare occasion when he got such an errand, so naturally he wanted to get addicted to the anticipation.

Of course, because this is a good thing, it's nothing. If it's bad news, it's so appetizing that you'll be beaten later.

Sure enough, after he paused for a while, Crazy He couldn't help asking immediately, "My lord, where did the money come from?"

After saying that, he saw Sun Chuanting turned his head to look at him, and suddenly came to his senses, with all the adults here, there is no place for him to speak first.Immediately, he lowered his head, but he was really curious, so he immediately raised his head and looked at the angel, the expectation in his eyes was undoubtedly revealed.

Of course, not only him, but everyone was really looking forward to hearing how the emperor raised the money, but Crazy He was impatient and said it first.

There were three big officials in the feudal border, Qian Yuanwailang didn't dare to entertain people's appetites, so he answered Madman He's question: "Xue Shoufu, um, Mr. Xue Ge has been promoted to the position of chief assistant, and he proposed to the emperor that the former Marquis of Wuqing My brother is willing to donate his family wealth to the imperial court..."

Because he was one of the parties involved, he understood the situation at that time better than ordinary people, and it can be said that he had a good time talking about it at this time.

This process is just like a novel, the plot is ups and downs, and there is a deeper conspiracy behind the incident, and finally it involves the founding hero who then commits a major treason case for money.

During the process he described, no matter whether it was the generals who were naturally less intriguing, or the officials present at the scene, they were all very shocked.

These military generals heard that the emperor had done so many things in order to affirm their contributions and give them full rewards, and even attracted treasonous acts by unruly ministers.This kind of sincerity towards them, they had never experienced before.All of a sudden, everyone was overwhelmed.

At the same time, they also felt great admiration for the wiseness of the emperor, who solved such a huge conspiracy with a snap of his fingers.

For the generals of the Qin army, they were full of goodwill towards the emperor because the emperor came out of the capital to inspect them.Now that I hear that the emperor is really not talking about it, but taking practical actions to treat them kindly, and he is so wise and mighty, immediately, as if he had been beaten to the ground, he regained his high spirited fighting spirit.

They felt that, with the Holy Son of Heaven above, they would never be buried in the future after they made contributions. With the emperor around, they could rest assured that they would fight desperately on the battlefield.

However, Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting were different from generals like them, and they had a deeper understanding of this matter.

From it, they saw Emperor Chongzhen's run on civil servants, knew their shortcomings, and divided them, so that this time, the only opponent they faced was the Xungui Group.This kind of political skill has never been seen before.

In addition, the emperor reorganized the factory guards, which made the factory guards play a very important role in this incident.Especially spying on the news is a bit miraculous, allowing the emperor to know the details of the opponent so that he can deal with it calmly.

For Lu, Hong, and Sun, the emperor they are looking forward to is not only bloody, but a heart that rejuvenates the Ming Dynasty.More importantly, they hope that the emperor will not be deceived by others and can distinguish between loyal ministers and good generals, treacherous ministers and bad generals. Only in this way, they will not have to worry about serving the country abroad and someone shooting cold arrows in the court.Of course, they naturally also hope that the credit for their work can be recognized by the emperor.

But now, through the emperor's dealings with nobles and raising money for them, they saw the emperor they expected.Therefore, although they look at the problem from different angles and to different degrees, it does not prevent them from being equally excited and very happy after listening to it.

However, the three of them became a little more careful, and they also felt a suspicious point, that is, the rumor that the emperor wanted to borrow money from Xungui did not know why it was so convincing that Cheng Guogong and others believed it. And thus made such a shocking case?

Regarding this point, Emperor Chongzhen did not announce that Yang Sichang had provided the information, nor did he include this matter in the confession.Because he didn't want to reveal this matter before the war against the captives in the pass was over.Otherwise, Xue Guoguan's proposal will definitely be involved, that is, the emperor is responsible for borrowing money from the emperor's relatives, and the cabinet borrows money from civil and military officials.

Think about it, it is so difficult to let each government take a refugee back, just to have one more mouth to eat.In this regard, the resolution was passed through division, and only the fifth-rank officials and above were allowed to accept refugees.

Once Xue Guoguan's proposal was made public, the pressure he would face would be unprecedented.The opponents to face are not only the Xungui Group, but also civil and military officials.At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was not ready to fight with so many opponents without causing major problems.

In the original history, both Emperor Xue Guoguan and Emperor Chongzhen did not realize this and felt that it was not difficult to use the power of the emperor to borrow money from his ministers. This led to the death of Xue Guoguan and the further corruption of the court. , the monarch and his ministers were even more at odds with each other.

It can be said that Emperor Chongzhen became a lonely emperor in the end, and he couldn't escape the responsibility for yelling out what the ministers misunderstood me.

Therefore, the current Emperor Chongzhen is not planning to move Yang Sichang at this time, since he cannot escape from Wuzhishan anyway.For the emperor to face individual courtiers, it is crushing, and it will not be too difficult.

At this time, after Qian Yuanwailang clearly explained what happened in the capital, everyone in the Zhongjun tent felt extremely excited.

Think about it, 70 taels of silver have already been obtained from Wuqinghou Mansion and Jiadingbo Mansion alone, not to mention the Chengguo Mansion and Linhuai Marquis Mansion with more silver.The emperor also said that even if they win a big battle, they don't have to worry about the court not rewarding them.

Such a good thing, of course, will not be hidden.Soon, the news spread throughout the army.

Immediately, the defenders at the head of the Jinzhou city looked at the King Qin army camp outside the city and suddenly burst into shouts of "Long live, long live, long live". But I can feel it.

They felt lifeless before, but suddenly there was such a big change, which made them very curious, what happened?Why does it feel like Qin Wangjun outside the city has won another big victory!
In the tent of the Chinese Army, after such an episode, a very good one, the three commanders of the army resumed their previous meeting to urgently discuss the military situation they had just obtained.

Just before, they got the troops of Dorgon and Hauge who went south, they had already plundered the population and supplies and returned north, and abandoned the old and weak along the way, the marching speed suddenly accelerated, and they threw away the Yongwei battalion behind. , Yuetuo's confluence is a foregone conclusion.

How should we fight the upcoming war against the captives?
