Chongzhen chat group

Chapter 10
"But Jianlu may not only besiege the city for two or three months!" Qian Longxi replied immediately, his confidence seemed a little lacking, mainly because he was afraid of offending Emperor Chongzhen, so he would be the first to attack him.

Hu Guang didn't get angry, but said lightly: "We'll discuss this matter later."

After finishing speaking, he turned to Zhou Yanru and said, "I should be able to get a sum of money for the incident just now. I will ask the Ministry of Accounts to make up for it, and I will allocate another 10 taels from the internal treasury. It should be enough for a while, right?"

After finishing speaking, he picked up a memorial from the imperial table and said: "Wen Qing, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, knew the plight of the court and volunteered to donate his salary to do his best. I am very relieved. I was also inspired by this. There are many, and in this critical moment, if anyone can donate money to tide over the difficulties, I will remember it. This matter is not compulsory, it is all voluntary!"

Historically, Wen Tiren's act of donating his salary was probably to win the favor of the original Emperor Chongzhen, just as he won the favor of Hu Guang at this time.

Zhou Yanru was dumbfounded, the emperor took the lead in paying the money, if he still dares to get entangled in this matter, he might force His Majesty to make another ruthless move.Thinking of this, he dared not say any more.

Hu Guang turned his head to look at Cheng Jiming and said, "Qiao Qing, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, has proposed a law to patrol the city under martial law, and the effect is good. I will order Jin Yiwei to patrol the whole city again, and anyone who refuses to listen to the crime will be dealt with strictly. In this way, Does Mr. Chengge think it's okay?"

After he finished speaking, the platform was very quiet, unexpectedly very quiet.

Hu Guang was a little puzzled, he had done so many tricks, but he didn't get any achievement points. Could it be that his performance was so good that they were numb?

After thinking about it, he still had something to say, so he turned his head to look at Cao Huachun and said, "In the past, Dongchang used to borrow the captain of Jinyi. As for the source of personnel, how about selecting those who performed well in the battle to defend the capital?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Huachun's state of bewilderment just now turned into joy.In this way, Dongchang will have a formal establishment, and its power will surely increase.He hurriedly bowed and played back: "Your maidservant respectfully obeys the edict!"

This is the emperor's private matter, and foreign ministers can't intervene in whatever he likes to do.It's just that these cabinet ministers couldn't help but get hairy when they thought that Dongchang would have more people and greater forces watching them in the future.

But there is one thing they are more pleased with. The emperor has no money in the first place, and if they want to set up another East Factory, funding will be a problem!Whether this will be possible is still unknown.

Zhou Yanru suddenly discovered that the emperor's move seemed to stabilize the morale of the army more than silver, it was a very good move.

"Ding, achievement value +1, from the cabinet minister Zhou Yanru!"

In the lower left corner of the chat group, achievement value: 50.When Hu Guang saw it, he sighed secretly. It really didn't matter if he performed too well in a row, it made them numb, and it took so long to gain some achievement points.Now it is finally possible to add one more person. I am a little looking forward to who can be added?

Thinking in his heart, he turned his head to look at Qian Longxi, and said, "I got the news that the Jian captives are short of food, and they have reached the point where they have to march and hunt to replenish part of the army's food."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was taken aback.Although none of these civil servants knew much about military affairs, they still had the ability to read a lot of books and learn how to talk about military affairs on paper like Zhao Kuo.The importance of logistics, they naturally also understand.

"Your Majesty, is this serious?" Li Biao quickly confirmed without opening his mouth for a long time.

Zhou Yanru was also surprised, and asked, "Your Majesty, where did this news come from?"

Before Emperor Chongzhen could speak, Man Gui had already excitedly said loudly: "Jian captives came from afar, and according to their habits, they would definitely not carry much military rations, and they would all rely on looting. Your Majesty's words, the final general thinks that the possibility is very high." !"

The larger the number of Jianlu, the more difficult its logistics will be.Even if it is looting on the spot, it is not so easy to supply the entire army.

At this time, Shen Yongmao, a civil official known as a "frontier talent", became different.He frowned and said: "Your Majesty, Jianlu is very powerful, and he only needs to attack the city to obtain supplies."

When he said this, Han Yu also remembered, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the Tongzhou Canal is already frozen. I'm afraid that at this time, even people and horses can get on the ice. If Jianlu robs the grain transported by water, I'm afraid it will be enough." used!"

Previously, the Tongzhou Canal had frozen over, hindering the passage of ships, but it was quite dangerous for people and horses to step on the ice.But it was already December, and the weather was cold enough, so grain storage would be dangerous.

In the original history, a few days later, the Jianlu captured the rations in a surprise attack, and ended the days when they needed to hunt to supplement the rations.

When Hu Guang heard this, he immediately nodded with a serious face and said: "I also know it. Therefore, I no longer expect the safety of the grain. Just in case, I decided to set fire to it!"

"Your Majesty, absolutely not! If this grain is burned, there will be a food shortage in the capital before the grain arrives next year!" Han Yu, as the chief assistant, quickly advised.

When Hu Guang heard this, he immediately asked back: "Can you guarantee the safety of grain and not fall into the hands of Jianlu?"

This rhetorical question immediately made Han Yu speechless and speechless.The other cabinet ministers originally wanted to say something, but they were too afraid to say it when they were asked.

The matter of burning grain will definitely be criticized afterwards.Without great courage, even if Sun Chengzong, who is praised by history books, sits in Tongzhou, he can definitely see the risk, but he dare not set fire to it, and he has not even given any advice. This shows that this matter is of great importance.Only when Hu Guang was under the pressure of being wiped out did he have the courage to burn food.

Hu Guang immediately turned his head to look at Shen Yongmao, and said solemnly: "The strategy of the capital is to promote all the cities in the capital. The whole city must work together to resist. Anyone who dares to surrender will be punished by the nine clans. It has nothing to do with it." False surrender, real surrender! But as long as they can stop Jianlu from attacking the city, all court officials will be promoted by leaps and bounds, and the people in the city will be exempted from tax for three years!"

Speaking of this, he said with a hint of cruelty: "I want Jianlu to be in the capital, and every bite will break his teeth. Let's see how many cities Jianlu can chew! In such a cold winter, I will Paying a high price to fortify the wall and clear the country, we must teach Jianlu a harsh lesson, so that he must weigh it carefully when he wants to enter the customs next time!"

Jianlu is a robber. If he came in to rob something once and made a lot of money, he would definitely try his best to rob him next time; When you want to grab it again, you will definitely weigh it up to see if it is worth it!
After Hu Guang finished speaking, he glanced around at the courtiers below and saw that several people wanted to speak, so he reiterated sharply again: "I have made up my mind, and you must help me to check for omissions and fill in the gaps. If you dare to object, Or destroy it, I will never forgive it lightly, and it is impossible to return home!"
