Chongzhen Chat Group

This is a naked threat! Such an emperor, Chongzhen, was unprecedented in history, leaving many ministers at a loss as to how to deal with it.

It's not scary to act like a hooligan, but if the emperor acts like a rogue and decides things regardless, no one can really compete with him.

At this time in the Ming Dynasty, the way for civil servants to check and balance the emperor was through ancestral etiquette. Generally speaking, the emperor would have scruples. After all, after being educated by Confucianism for many years, he still wanted to lose face. But Hu Guang is different. He doesn't care about this. What's more, what he said is completely public-spirited and his plan is feasible!

After the threat was over, Hu Guang softened his tone a little and said, "If you have any good ideas, can you help me check and fill in the gaps? Tell me according to the facts!"

Thinking that he could give his arch-rival Jianlu a heavy blow, Mangui's brains worked better than usual. He immediately shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, Jianlu mostly uses traitors to attack cities. As long as every city is on guard against spies, Jianlu will be there." You will definitely have to pay a heavy price for your siege ability!"

As soon as he said this, Hu Guang immediately remembered that there were eight famous Shanxi merchants in history! His grandma, just like this bunch of people, might even be the lead party during this Jianlu invasion.

So, he immediately nodded and said: "Man Qing's words make sense. This matter must be reminded everywhere."

After finishing speaking, Hu Guang turned to look at Cao Huachun and said: "Dongchang and Jinyiwei will thoroughly investigate the collaborators and traitors in this incident. Once found, I will definitely punish them severely!"

"Yes, I will obey the order." Cao Huachun immediately accepted the order. At this time, he had no other ideas. Anyway, the more things your Majesty gives, the stronger Dongchang will be.

When Mangui saw that the emperor had adopted his suggestion, he immediately shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, if we can cut off their retreat, the morale of the Jianlu army will be unstable, and their combat power will be severely reduced!"

What he said was correct. In fact, when Jianlu arrived outside the Great Wall and was about to enter the pass, he still had differences on this action. Huang Taiji insisted on entering the pass, but Mang Gurtai and Dai Shan were afraid and regretted it, and even quarreled about it.

It's just that in the original history, Huang Taiji was finally proved to be right. It was precisely because this entry into the customs brought great benefits to Jianlu, which allowed Huang Taiji to gain extremely high prestige among Jianlu, which laid the foundation for his subsequent abolition of the Eight Kings' political affairs and his ascension to the throne as emperor.

"Good!" Hu Guang nodded, then looked at the others and said, "Do you have anything else to add?"

If Emperor Chongzhen's plan really comes to fruition, the problem of building captives that troubled the four dynasties of the Ming Dynasty is likely to undergo a major turning point. Suddenly, these civil servants knew that they could not object, so they started to use their brains.

In the end, Shen Yongmao was the better at it, and he went out to report: "Your Majesty, you can order Prime Minister Ma and Sun Ge Lao to seize the opportunity to recapture Zunhua and other cities along the Great Wall. The captives will definitely panic when they hear the news. And the longer time goes by, the more people everywhere will The more Qin the king has, the more troops he will have. Once the Jianlu troops lose their spirit and there is a huge disparity in the strength of the troops, their morale will inevitably be low, and they will be victorious in another battle!"

"Haha, good!" Hu Guang immediately praised, then thought of something, and immediately said with a little excitement: "Also, whatever Jianlu is afraid of, we will publicize it. This is a conspiracy, just to let the whole Jianlu army know It doesn’t matter.”

When he said this, Li Biao, who had been showing little performance, suddenly brightened up and wanted to show off. He immediately said: "Your Majesty, in the bloody battle in the Hunhe River in the past, the Jianlu were very afraid of the white-armed soldiers. You might as well publicize the 100,000 white-armed soldiers." The army is coming, or the southern army and the musketeers are coming, so Jianlu will definitely be in panic all day long."

Upon hearing this, Hu Guang also remembered that the white-pole soldiers were indeed good soldiers in the late Ming Dynasty, but they were far away in Sichuan and could not arrive so quickly. But Jianlu didn't know the real situation, so it was okay to scare him.

Thinking of this, he immediately praised: "What Ci Fu said makes sense, yes, I am very pleased!"

Li Biao was very happy to hear this, but Han Xu felt bitter in his heart. He vaguely felt that the position of chief assistant might be available in a few days.

Hu Guang looked down and saw that no one had anything to add, so he sighed and said: "I know that next, everyone in the capital will have to work together to protect their homeland, which is a bit overwhelming! But there is nothing we can do about it. If Beijing If the camp is good at fighting, there is no need to use this strategy. After this battle, I will rectify the capital camp, otherwise the whole city will be affected next time!"

He is also a bit cunning. By saying this, he can vent the grievances of the powerful and famous people in the city who are depriving themselves of the king's salary. It can also reduce the resistance to the rectification of the capital camp in the future.

After sighing like a hypocrite, Hu Guang solemnly concluded: "Your Majesty, you will immediately prepare the decree according to what you just discussed, without any delay!"

As he said that, he turned to look at Mangui and said: "Manqing enters the palace once a day to report the city defense situation to me. If anyone dares to disobey or disobey orders, I will never tolerate it! I will also I will personally inspect the city defense, and I will punish you if you fail to do your best!"

"The general will obey the order!" Upon hearing this, Man Gui felt a stone fall in his heart and replied loudly with great joy.

Hu Guang nodded, then turned to Cao Huachun and said: "If anyone dares to conceal the number of people in the government, does not want to contribute and does not contribute money or food, no matter who it is, they will be arrested. However, if your Dongchang engages in malpractice for personal gain, or takes advantage of the opportunity to gain Money man, if I find one, I will kill you, do you understand me?"

"I don't dare, I understand!" Cao Huachun, with sweat on his back, immediately replied in a high voice.

Hu Guang nodded and said with a trace of ferocity: "I want to see if anyone else dares to disobey me at such a critical moment, don't blame me for turning my back on him!"

Damn it, being an emperor is really good! As long as you are shameless, you can say anything. If you want to be ruthless, I can be ruthless than Jianlu!

Not long after, the first imperial edict was drafted by Han Xu, the chief assistant, and was immediately submitted to the emperor for review.

Hu Guang picked it up and looked at it for a moment, frowned, then threw the imperial edict down and said dissatisfied: "I don't want to draft the edict again. I want it in plain language, in plain language, and there are also sentences to read. This is for the whole city. For the common people to see, I must let everyone understand what I mean, do you understand?"

When all the civil servants saw this, they couldn't help but look at each other. Especially Han Xu, who wrote the imperial edict, but was thrown away by the emperor. His face was as ugly as it was.

Seeing that no one was speaking, Hu Guang was about to get angry. Li Biao, the second assistant, suddenly smiled and praised: "Your Majesty is wise. In the current situation, only Taizu Chengzu can restore the captives. As far as I know, Chengzu's imperial edict is also It’s plain and easy to understand vernacular!”

"Li Qing, come and draft the decree!" Upon hearing this, Hu Guang immediately nodded and demanded.

When Li Biao heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. In this case, the chief assistant had to come to draft the decree, but now His Majesty appointed him to do it. The meaning was obvious!
