Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 97
The next day is the New Year's Eve. Generally speaking, all officials rest, and everyone can celebrate the New Year happily together.

But now, [-] Manchu troops are roaming around the capital.Under such circumstances, who dares to propose to rest for the New Year?
In fact, this kind of thing is not the first time, and the officials in the capital are used to it.

On the same day, Emperor Chongzhen summoned Yushi Liu Meicai to express his condolences to his working and living conditions. Liu Meicai was surprised and a little flattered.However, he didn't know that the emperor's real purpose was that he had no extra wiretap seeds because he was short of money, so he could only recover the wiretap seeds from him.

After the news came out, someone became anxious immediately.So, quickly started to move.

No, the Ministry of Officials will soon present a list of candidates for the six vacancies in the matter.Emperor Chongzhen took a look and found that Liao Guolin, the censor, and Liu Zhiqi were among them.

"Hehe, that's how it is!" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help sneering and said to himself when he saw it, "They are greedy for money, and then use it for activities to buy officials, so they can continue to climb, right?"

In the original history, these two people were indeed like this. They were famous for asking for money, and they climbed to the position of giving things as they wished.Then continue to make money, no matter who it is, as long as they give money, they will speak for them.

Now the reason given by the Ministry of Officials is the universal reason, saying that he is dedicated to his duties, he is the best among the censors, and he has heard rumors that he has done more things than other people.

This is really true, just like last morning, both of them stepped forward to impeach Dongchang with empty teeth.There are many things like this.But today's Emperor Chongzhen knows that the reason behind their activeness is only because someone paid for it.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen didn't want to touch the officials of the outer court, so in the end he just kept this memorial and did not release it, and then intentionally released other rumors to the outer court.

As a result, some things that had happened were clearly presented to the officials in the outer court.They couldn't help but be a little surprised by this: Dongchang voluntarily handed over the dirty money, and the emperor let it go, and then Dongchang reported that he was investigating the major case of the Royal Horse Supervisor.

Now, they know that the Jinyiwei is also at war. The original Jinyiwei officials have been sacked. The commander Luo Yangxing, who had no news before, was originally imprisoned in the East Factory. Now he has returned to the Jinyiwei Imperial Prison to confess his crimes. .The emperor gave him a chance, but he didn't seize it.

The emperor was very angry just now. After seeing Luo Yangxing's charges presented by Jinyiwei, he ordered his house to be searched and executed, and his head was hung at the entrance of Jinyiwei's Yamen.On this New Year's Eve, the streets are full of Jinyi guards raiding the homes of criminals.

Dongchang and Jinyiwei were both directly subordinate to the emperor, and there was no chance for the outer court to intervene.Now the emperor is vigorously rectifying the situation, which makes the officials in the outer court panic for a while.Especially those officials who had bribed and colluded with Luo Yangxing were even more frightened.They were afraid that Luo Yangxing would give them away.As for Dongchang Cao Huachun, some people were also worried, fearing that Cao Huachun would sell them and he himself had been pardoned by the emperor and would be fine.

If the factory guard can no longer get along as easy as before, many things will be difficult to handle!
This year, not only did not pass, but also very sad!The atmosphere in the capital suddenly became a little tense because of this matter.

Or because of this reason, Fan Fu did not go out again.Because of this, no one from Jin Yiwei came to bother Emperor Chongzhen. Seeing that the New Year's Eve dinner was about to be eaten, Emperor Chongzhen decided to take this opportunity to have a good gathering with the harem concubines, to appreciate the beauty, and to discuss the necessary things .

At the same time, outside the city of Jinzhou, a new siege failed, and the Manchu Tartars once again called for money to withdraw their troops.

Dorgon, who was watching the battle from a distance, looked at the gleaming Jinzhou city wall, and his face was a little unsightly.

The recent luck is not very good, Jiazhuang was not defeated before, and now Jinzhou has been attacked for a few days, but it has not been defeated.Whether it is a storm attack during the day or a sneak attack at night, the city is heavily guarded, and water is also splashed into ice, making the city wall abnormally smooth, making it impossible to succeed.

"It seems that the chief official of Jinzhou is also a capable person!" Yue Tuo sighed beside Dorgon.

When they entered the pass this time, it wasn't that the city with tall walls had never been taken down.In other words, before Jiazhuang and Jinzhou, they had been invincible.At most, you can't attack during the day, and you can steal the city at night.However, now they can't win the goal continuously, which makes them not in a good mood.

In fact, in the original history, the entry of the Manchu and Qing troops this time was really in Jinzhou, and they encountered a hard nail.Zhizhou Chen Hongxu mobilized the whole city's forces, with money and strength, and finally blocked the attack of the Manchu army.

Haoge next to him felt a little harsh when he heard Yuetuo's words, so he said loudly: "So what if you are capable, we must take this place, otherwise, other cities in the Ming Dynasty will follow suit, and we will still take it." How to grab it?"

"Why can't Jia Zhuang take it down?" Dorgon asked impatiently when he heard it.

After fighting for a few days, but unable to defeat Jinzhou, Dorgon already had the intention to go. His strategic goal was clear and he didn't want to gnaw too hard.

When Hauge heard this, his face turned pale, and he immediately replied: "I'm about to fight, it's not because you ordered the troops to retreat. Besides, Jiazhuang is defended by the elite Ming army. Could it be that there are also elite Ming soldiers in the state? Aren’t they all just a group of strong people!”

What he said can also be distinguished from the clothing of the defensive personnel.This kind of people can defend themselves with tall city walls, but they cannot conduct field battles.The combat power of the army under Lu Xiangsheng's command is simply incomparable.

Dorgon listened to Hauge's strong words and argued unreasonably. Could it be said that a mere Jiazhuang can be compared with Jinzhou with its tall city walls?When he was about to reprimand him, he suddenly saw a probing horse galloping towards him.
