Chongzhen Chat Group

So, at dawn, Emperor Chongzhen had just woken up. When he habitually entered the chat group to check the news as soon as possible, he received a private message from Wei Mulan: "Your Majesty, Lu Zhongcheng asked, what will happen to the Han people in Liaodong? Seize Liaoyang, re-establish After the reputation of the Ming Dynasty was restored, Lu Zhongcheng speculated that a large number of Han people fled back, how should these be dealt with?"

"Although Dongjiang has re-contacted Jiangnan merchants and allowed them to trade in Dongjiang, it has only been more than three months now. There are only a few merchants and insufficient supplies. I am afraid that they will not be able to support the arrangement of a large number of Han people in Liaodong!"

When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he knew that Lu Xiangsheng was asking for support from the court. Indeed, if Lu Xiangsheng captures Liaoyang and goes to Shenyang to show his face, it will be more shocking than in the Mao Wenlong era and give more hope to the Liaodong Han people. More Liaodong Han people will abscond along the coastline and flee to Dongjiang. Come by.

Originally, supplies in Dongjiang were very scarce. As the governor of Denglai, Lu Xiangsheng had tried his best to mobilize supplies from Denglai, but it was limited. If there are too many mouths to eat at once, there will probably be a famine.

If those Han people escaped back to Dongjiang with a narrow escape, but ended up starving to death, it would be a shame for them. Lu Xiangsheng thought of these in advance and asked the court to make arrangements. It was far-sighted.

If this matter had been raised a few months ago, Emperor Chongzhen was really powerless. After all, he didn't have any food left in his hands. Shanxi and Shaanxi also have a huge food gap. But recently there is a batch of grain that can be put into the Dongjiang River.

With this in mind, he immediately chatted with Liu Jinsheng privately: "How is the situation over there?"

Liu Jinsheng received the emperor's private message and did not dare to neglect, and quickly replied: "Back to Your Majesty, my subordinates and Mr. Xu expect to arrive in Annan in one day!"

When Navy Zheng Zhilong received Xu Guangqi in Guangzhou, Liu Jinsheng had already reported it to Emperor Chongzhen once. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen knew the size and approximate itinerary of Zheng Zhilong's navy. When he heard that the arrival date was basically the same as expected, he ordered again: "Send the order to Xu Guangqi, instructing him to collect as much grain as possible, transport the grain as soon as possible, and send it directly to Dongjiang. Send the order to Zheng Zhilong, and do his best to make Annan a good job." Transporting grain to the destination is a great achievement. If I am satisfied, in addition to a personal reward, I will grant my son the title of a royal guard for hundreds of households."

Emperor Chongzhen naturally knew Zheng Chenggong's name in history. Although Zheng Chenggong is only 6 years old in this dimension and is not yet called Zheng Chenggong, it does not prevent him from having a good impression of him. Therefore, when motivating Zheng Zhilong to work hard, he simply named his son Jinyiwei Baihu.

Of course, this position of Jinyiwei Baihu is actually a false position, that is, it is just a name, with this honor, and a salary. But this kind of honor can only be given to ministers who have made great achievements.

After sending this message, Liu Jinsheng did not reply immediately. Emperor Chongzhen immediately guessed what was going on, and felt a little dissatisfied. He immediately reminded him: "No matter how much grudges you and Zheng Zhilong have privately, I will never be lenient to anyone who affects state affairs. Do you understand?"

"Understood, your Majesty, don't worry!" Liu Jinsheng was shocked when he heard this and quickly replied. At least at this moment, he had just turned around and escaped from the predicament due to divine grace, and he did not dare to have any different intentions.

Although Emperor Chongzhen did not warn him again, he was wary in his heart. Most of these people with pirate backgrounds have no loyalty to serve the country, but more interests. For these people, we need time to reform them. In addition, the supervisory army must be decentralized as soon as possible.

With this in mind, he immediately summoned Liu Xingzuo, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, to see him.

In the Wuying Hall, Liu Xingzuo came in and saw the emperor. Although he behaved as usual after the ceremony, Emperor Chongzhen still noticed that he seemed a little different today.

After thinking for a moment, Emperor Chongzhen came up with the possible reason. It should be that the photo of the Han slaves in Liaodong that Liu Xingzuo saw last night aroused his thoughts of missing his family, right?

So, he first smiled and said: "I guess you have seen the photos last night. Governor Denglai has arrived near Liaoyang. One of the purposes of his trip is to go to Shenyang to save your family. I have not talked to you before I said I was afraid that you would be distracted and wanted to tell you after I was rescued."

Liu Xingzuo was stunned when he heard this, and then he could no longer hide his emotions. His eyes turned red, and he immediately knelt down and said excitedly: "How virtuous and capable is this general? His Majesty actually sent Governor Denglai to rescue his family." !”

"Haha, Liu Qing is alive!" Emperor Chongzhen smiled and extended his hand to indicate, "Don't say that you are my right-hand man, even if you are an ordinary minister, or an ordinary citizen, a noble and upright person like your family, I will send someone Go and rescue them. Your family is indeed a model for the people of Ming Dynasty!"

Liu Xingzuo became even more excited when he heard the emperor highly praise his family. How many families in the world can receive such praise?

He immediately calmed down and tried his best to suppress his excitement and said: "Please take back your Majesty's orders and don't let Governor Denglai put himself in danger. Even if the Jianlu army goes out, Shenyang is the Jianlu puppet capital. With a thousand men and horses, it will definitely be impossible to capture."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he smiled and said: "Liu Qing, don't worry too much. Your family has been imprisoned in Zhuangzi in Huangtaiji outside Shenyang City. I am still inquiring about the specific information. Governor Lu, with his eight hundred cavalry, should be able to Please don’t worry about rescuing Qing’s family!”

Upon hearing this, Liu Xingzuo knew that there was really hope for his family to be rescued. For a moment, he looked like a dignified commander of the Imperial Guards, with tears in his eyes. He was unable to speak for a moment and just kowtowed.

At this moment, his mind was thinking about the scene when he said goodbye to his mother: his mother's sincere teachings, her words that reassured him and allowed him to escape back to the Ming Dynasty with peace of mind, echoed in his ears one by one.

"My son, my mother is old, so don't worry about her! The Jianlu were so cruel. I should return to the Ming Dynasty, serve the country, make up for my mistakes, and don't bring shame to my ancestors!"

"Aliens are still aliens, they are barbaric and cruel. If you return to the Ming Dynasty and make achievements, your mother will die without regrets!"

"..."

After a while, Emperor Chongzhen waited for Liu Xingzuo to calm down, and then revealed the purpose of calling him over: "The Fujian side is far away from the capital and is difficult to control. You should arrange for Jinyiwei spies to come to Li Zhiqi and Li Zhiqi as soon as possible. Zheng Zhilong is among the two forces!"

"The general will obey the order!" Upon hearing this, Liu Xingzuo immediately responded loudly, his voice sonorous and powerful.

After Emperor Chongzhen finished giving instructions, he asked him to get it done quickly. Later, Wang Chengen, the eunuch in charge of the Dongchang office, told him the same thing. Let the factory and security departments arrange spies separately. Only in this way can you feel more at ease.
