Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 248 Strategy is Good
"Successful or not, as the imperial court, disaster relief is a must." Liu Weichao still said seriously, "I told you before that people's hearts are very important, even if you won't be able to spare too much money for a while, but , the posture of disaster relief must be there.”

Speaking of this, he paused and added: "If you are a tyrant and refuse to save the people, I can't even help you! But you are not, right?"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly replied: "Of course I am not a tyrant! I was just angry with that thief Li just now!"

"Hehe, I know you're not!" Liu Weichao said with a smile after listening.

Seeing his smile, Emperor Chongzhen quickly said: "Then I will go to work first, after all disaster relief is like firefighting!"

"Okay, come on, the difficulties will be overcome in the end!" Liu Weichao listened, naturally he had no objection, and encouraged him by the way.

After cutting off the video communication, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly sighed and said to himself: "How could I be a tyrant!"

Afterwards, he began to ponder in his mind, what kind of plan should he take some money and food from.

But at this moment, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly heard a voice from outside the hall, it was from Wang Chengen: "...Who? Who are you talking about? This is the secret playing box of the General Banner of Jinyiwei?"

Upon hearing this, he couldn't help becoming anxious, and quickly shouted to the outside: "Submit it quickly!"

This is really missing Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be there.

I don't know what's going on with Zheng Sen's side. If he went to the secret concert so soon, he might have encountered difficulties and came to complain to himself, right?

While thinking this way in his heart, Wang Chengen had already entered the palace holding a locked box.

Emperor Chongzhen was anxious about the situation in the south of the Yangtze River, so he immediately asked someone to take out the key and unlock it. After checking the authenticity, he looked at Zheng Sen's memorial.

The writing of this character is so-so and needs more practice, but the content in this memorial surprised Emperor Chongzhen and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

He didn't expect that Zheng Zhilong would be so up-to-date, he rushed to Yangzhou in the first time, and helped his son solve the procurement problem. Now, the first batch of ships have gone north along the coastline, which shows that the capital's supply is certain. up.

"Good, good, good!" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help being very happy, and praised him repeatedly.

Zheng Sen followed his father's request and did not hide anything. He reported to Emperor Chongzhen, and he naturally told Emperor Chongzhen that he would purchase from Fujian and Guangdong in the future, and later, his father would also let those from Nanyang. Maritime procurement.

This is equivalent to saying that the lack of materials and grass in the north will be continuously replenished.The problem he was most worried about, a key to Ming ZTE, would no longer exist.

At this moment, Emperor Chongzhen was really happy.He is also very satisfied with this Zheng Zhilong.

Thinking this way, he decided to appoint Zheng Sen as the commander of Jinyiwei and take charge of Jiangnan Jinyiwei.

This was promoted from the General Banner of the Jinyiwei to the Commander Tongzhi, and the level of leapfrog promotion was comparable to that of other [-]-mile expedited ones.Moreover, this is not a false title, the kind that only receives a salary, but a person with real power.

Moreover, the commander of Jin Yiwei, Tongzhi, is the emperor's confidant general, and he is by no means comparable to ordinary generals.

Emperor Chongzhen wanted to tell Zheng Sen, especially Zheng Zhilong behind him, to do good work for the court, and he would trust them very much.

At this time, he was very happy to receive Zheng Sen's secret report, and he no longer had any scruples. Based on the latest situation, he could easily make a decision to embezzle the money and food for disaster relief.

Afterwards, Emperor Chongzhen immediately held an imperial meeting and began to be busy with disaster relief.

Of course, at night, he also deliberately told Liu Weichao about the situation, and he also explained to Liu Weichao that Emperor Chongzhen was definitely not a tyrant, but an activist, and he had already arranged disaster relief.

Liu Weichao was also happy about this, and he didn't skimp on the words of praise, which made Emperor Chongzhen very happy.

But one of his statements is true.

On the second day, Emperor Chongzhen was in a good mood. After filming the Mid-Autumn Festival video for Liu Weichao, he received an urgent report from Jiangnan.

It was played by Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, saying that the troops of Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai came to Fengyang, the central capital again. Go to the rescue, so as to keep Fengyang safe.

Regarding this news, Emperor Chongzhen actually had expectations, but he couldn't be happy after all.

Fengyang is no different than other places, that is where his family's ancestral home is.

Before, it was captured by bandits once and burned the imperial tomb.For this reason, he issued an imperial edict for the first time.

If possible, Emperor Chongzhen certainly didn't want Fengyang to fall into the hands of thieves again.

However, the northern side's preparations for dealing with Jianlu are already on the line.If people are dispatched to the south of the Yangtze River at this time, it will inevitably disrupt the deployment of the north.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen summoned Du Yinxi to discuss this matter.Judging from the contact during this period, Du Yinxi's vision is still very accurate, and he wants to hear Du Yinxi's opinion.

Not long after, Du Yinxi rushed over, heard the introduction of Emperor Chongzhen, and after reading Ma Shiying's memorial, thought about it and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, after the fall of Fengyang, the defense has been strengthened. Now Governor Ma They even transferred several capable troops around the area, such as Liu Liangzuo and others. They must all know that if Fengyang falls again, it will be a serious crime. Therefore, they will definitely fight to the death..."

Emperor Chongzhen listened with a serious expression, and felt that what Du Yinxi said was similar to what he thought, so he nodded slightly.

"...And Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai's bandits have just turned against Kaifeng and suffered heavy losses. If what I expected is correct, they no longer have the confidence to fight tough and fierce battles, and they must not be able to fight Fengyang to the death. The greatest possibility is to attack other weak defenses to replenish their food and restore their morale!"

Speaking of this, Du Yinxi showed a hint of worry and said: "I think that the biggest possibility is that Nanzhili will suffer from bandits. There are eight kings and those bandits from the fifth battalion of Gezuo who are raging in Huguang, threatening In the northwestern region of Southern Zhili, the largest band of thieves is now going south, and the tax land in the south of the Yangtze River may not be able to collect taxes!"

After hearing his analysis, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but feel relieved.

As long as Fengyang doesn't fall, he doesn't care much about Jiangnan.

Today, he already has a lot of money and food in his hands by ransacking his house.And Zheng Zhilong gave him a promise to keep purchasing continuously.Even next year's military rations will definitely be fine.

In the original plan, it was to drive out the thieves to harm the south of the Yangtze River, and clean up the aristocratic families and powerful landlords who were not easy for him to defeat.In this way, the imperial army went south to deal with the thieves, and by the way, let those aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River know the importance of the imperial court, and they would kill two birds with one stone.

He was thinking about it, when he heard Du Yinxi still say over there: "nearly [-] white-armed troops are about to arrive in the capital. I originally thought that they could be used to deal with Jianlu, so as to hit Jianlu to the greatest extent. .Looking at the current situation, Your Majesty, it's better to send the white army to the south to rescue!"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was overjoyed immediately, and quickly asked: "Du Qing thinks, how should we use the white-armed army to attack Jianlu?"

As for Du Yinxi's worries, he simply ignored them.In his eyes, there is nothing more important than recreating the prisoner.

After hearing this, Du Yinxi was slightly taken aback, wondering why Emperor Chongzhen didn't grasp the key point.But when he came back to his senses, since the emperor asked a question, he had no choice but to answer it.

So, I heard him reply to Emperor Chongzhen and said: "This is what I thought before. The white pole army is an infantry army, and its combat power is quite strong. On the Hejingying side, it is very possible to encircle and wipe out Jianlu! However, the thieves in the south of the Yangtze River are in chaos..."

Emperor Chongzhen was very happy when he heard his words, but he had no patience to listen to what he said later, so he interrupted and asked, "How did the white pole army block the retreat of Jianlu?"

"..." Du Yinxi couldn't help being a little speechless when he heard it. He thought that Emperor Chongzhen hadn't heard the point of what he said clearly. After recovering, he quickly emphasized: "But Your Majesty, Jiangnan is in danger now..."

Emperor Chongzhen saw him like this, so he had no choice but to say to him: "Du Qing, if I still take care of both ends, which one can I take care of? Don't take care of both ends again! I'm going to beat Jianlu so hard that they will be beaten to death. I dare not enter the customs again, so I can free up my hands to deal with the thieves, do you think this is the reason?"

When Du Yinxi heard this, he couldn't help being stunned.He didn't expect that Emperor Chongzhen would put up with the thieves in the south of the Yangtze River and mess up the court's tax-heavy land, so he had to clean up the Jianlu first.

Thinking about it carefully, from the emperor's point of view, it seems that this is indeed the best.

The Yongwei Battalion and the Jingying Battalion, together with the Baigan Army, will definitely hit the Jianlu who entered the customs.In this way, many years of peace can be exchanged for Liaodong.With the population of Jianlu, there is absolutely no possibility of launching a second war of entering the customs. It is already good if the court does not deal with them.

Afterwards, the Yongwei Battalion, the Jingying Battalion, and the Baigan Army went south to sweep the bandits and put down the chaos in the south, which seemed to be easier.

This kind of strategy is far better than taking care of both ends.

However, Du Yinxi also thought of a question, so he played to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, it is impossible to be sure whether Jianlu will enter the pass this year. But the thieves in the south of the Yangtze River have already made a big fuss. Second, the Jiangnan officials in the court There are many, they must also be anxious about the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River. If your majesty doesn't care about the south of the Yangtze River, I'm afraid it will..."

The words are not finished, but the meaning is already obvious.If Emperor Chongzhen really wants to do this, one can imagine how much pressure will be there!
Although the strategy is good, there will be great difficulties in actual implementation. Can your emperor withstand this pressure?
