Chongzhen Undergraduates

"Ai Qing, let's get back together." Zhu Youjian felt uncomfortable all over, and the itching on his back got even more itchy. He wanted to scratch but couldn't, so he had to twist his body when he raised his hand.

"Your Majesty is fine, and the ministers are at ease. The capital is under siege, which really makes the ministers worry." It is still necessary to talk on the scene, even if you don't like someone anymore, it is etiquette to say hello when you meet.

"I have heard that Shi Aiqing summoned people from Jiangnan to go north to rescue him. I am very pleased." Regardless of whether Shi Kefa is sincere or not, at least the starting point is good. Compared with other ministers in Jiangnan, he still played a leading role. The positive energy is still worthwhile. It's a compliment.

"Ashamed! I failed to reach the capital, I hope the emperor will forgive me."

"I can't blame you. The capital fell so fast that I didn't expect it." Zhu Youjian pointed to the two stools next to him: "You two lovers, please sit down and eat some watermelon to relieve the heat."

Zhu Youjian picked up a large piece of watermelon and took a bite, the juice dripping from his mouth.Wang Chengen on the side hurriedly raised his hand and covered his mouth.Zhu Youjian saw Wang Chengen's reminder from the corner of his eye, immediately covered it up with his sleeve, and began to eat in small bites.

"This time I am going south, I plan to let the prince go to Nanjing to supervise the country. I wonder if the two lovers have any objections?" Since Zhu Youjian showed his true face in front of the two men, it is impossible for Zhu Youjian not to explain the matter clearly, otherwise these People thought that Zhu Youjian was going to abdicate.

"The ministers ask the emperor to go south together and sit in the court to listen to the government." Zhu Youjian knew that they would say this, but this was still a trick, not what he meant.

"We'll discuss this matter later. I would like to ask Shi Aiqing, as Minister of the Ministry of War, do you have any strategies to defend against the enemy?"

"I suggest that you discuss peace with Hou Jin and join hands to deal with Li Zicheng and others." Shi Kefa in history was the one who implemented the national policy of Lian Qing's resistance to obedience, and finally died in Yangzhou.It was not until the later Longwu Dynasty that the peasant army was adopted to jointly resist the Houjin.

As a time traveler, Zhu Youjian knew very well that the biggest enemy was Hou Jin, not the peasant army.However, these words cannot be said, even if they are said, at least there is a reason, right? !You can’t tell Shi Kefa directly: I am a man from the future, I just know that Hou Jin will defeat you in the future

them.This is obviously not possible. The so-called reasoning does not make sense, and the reasoning does not make sense.

"Ma Aiqing also means that?"

"The ministers seconded the proposal." The country must have a basic national policy, and Nanjing's re-establishment as the capital is a firm fact.Regardless of whether Chongzhen is in power or the prince is in charge of the country, there must be a basic national policy.

Shi Kefa and Ma Shiying had discussed this matter. They believed that it was Li Zicheng who captured the capital and caused Chongzhen to flee. They felt that Chongzhen should hate Li Zicheng the most.But Daming is not strong enough right now, so looking for foreign aid has become the first choice.After gold since

After defeating Li Zicheng, he is naturally the best candidate for foreign aid.This is a matter of course.

From this matter, we can see the mediocrity of Shi Kefa and others.From ancient times to the future, truly talented people will have extraordinary strategic vision.Generally, those who act according to normal thinking logic will not be able to become great talents.In the formulation of national policy in the first dynasty of the Southern Ming Dynasty,

Just made a mistake.This has nothing to do with whether Li Zicheng is a Han or not, but that those who formulate national policies lack strategic vision.

The so-called united peasant army is just an illusion, at least it could not be realized during the first dynasty of Nanming.Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are not dead yet, and the Peasant Army will not unite with you.After fighting for more than ten years, they have already forged a deep hatred, and they don't form alliances just because they say they form alliances.

In fact, it was after the deaths of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong that the real alliance was formed. The forces of all parties were already dying and had no choice but to unite.Coupled with the appearance of an emperor with a strategic vision, Long Wu, of course, he also saw the situation that it would not work without unity.

"I would like to ask the two lovers, which side is the strongest in the current situation?" Zhu Youjian glanced at Shi Kefa and thought to himself: If you want to unite with Houjin, I will analyze for you what it means to seek skin from a tiger.

"In terms of strength, Houjin is currently the strongest. Houjin has the advantage of a large number of cavalry, and it has entered the hinterland of the Central Plains. In addition, Wu Sangui's defection, with the help of a piece of stone, is now invincible." Shi Kefa was surprised. Could it be that Does the emperor have other ideas?

"Shouldn't we unite the weak to fight against the powerful Houjin?" Zhu Youjian smiled. If you still can't see this kind of pediatric strategy, what kind of Minister of the Ministry of War is still.

"Since the Song Dynasty, the implementation has been to unite the weak side to resist the strong side, so that everyone has room to maneuver. If the strong side defeats the weak side, then the strong side is bound to turn around and eat Get rid of us. It is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger!"

"I still have half of the country in the Ming Dynasty, and it will take time to regain my strength." Ma Shiying thought that there is still Jiangnan, how could it be possible to say that the weak is the weak.

"If Li Zicheng is defeated by Hou Jin, what will happen to the North?"

"The big deal is to rule the river." Ma Shiying blurted out.

"Do you want me to hand over Jiangbei to others?" Zhu Youjian stared at Ma Shiying viciously. What this guy thought about was only one-third of an acre of land. To put it more bluntly, he wanted to make Nanjing his capital That's how you get on top.

"I dare not!" Ma Shiying was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground, and he also felt that he had said the wrong thing.

"Your words are not wrong, it's just your thoughts that are wrong." Zhu Youjian said it right away, not saving face for Ma Shiying, and this is not the time to save face.

"There is a flat river in the north of the river, which is good for the cavalry of Houjin. I am all infantry, and I can't win on such terrain. Do you think I am confused?" Zhu You stood up searchingly, walked to the middle of the pavilion, and held Looking at the pillar, looking out of the pavilion.

"Li Zi fled to Xi'an in success or failure, and Hou Jin followed closely. The defeat of the Chuang army is only a matter of time. When the northwest is pacified, Hou Jin will change hands and deal with us. You don't have this vision, do you?"

"I know I'm wrong." Upon hearing this, Shi Kefa immediately knelt beside Ma Shiying.

"The reason why I let the prince supervise the country is that I don't want to attract Houjin's attention. When Houjin is going all out to deal with Li Zicheng, let me, Daming, have a little time to breathe. Now that Li Zicheng's defeat is a foregone conclusion, we are too late , it is not even possible to talk about a joint invasion of the army

statement.Do you think I will take revenge?Wrong, all I care about is Daming Jiangshan.

Now the south of Dahe is still in Daming's hands, and Shandong is also in Daming's hands.It's just that these places are easy to attack and difficult to defend. Once the Jin soldiers go south, they will be unable to defend.However, this great country cannot be surrendered so easily, so I want to build the first line of defense in Dahe.I

If you want to handle this matter personally, do the two lovers know what I mean? "

Having said all this, it is impossible for Shi Kefa and Ma Shiying to wake up.Zhu Youjian's words are tantamount to saying, I will personally take the lead and shelter Nanjing from the wind and rain. If you are not satisfied, you are really treacherous ministers.

"Your Majesty, the ministers will do their best to protect me." Shi Kefa didn't expect Zhu Youjian to be so courageous. This is very different from the emperor he knew before. Could it be that he was reborn after being hit?

"Soldiers are needed to build a defense line. I think you know better than me the situation of the four towns in Jiangbei. Right, Ma Shiying?" Zhu Youjian gave Ma Shiying a contemptuous look.

Huang Degong is Ma Shiying's diehard, and he is also a big warlord. Zhu Youjian wants to build a defense line, and it is obvious to reorganize the troops in Jiangbei.A fox like Ma Shiying, who takes one step and sees three steps, definitely wants to get it.Instead of leaving time for Ma Shiying to prepare, Zhu Youjian would rather

Just pierce the window paper.

Furthermore, among the four towns in Jiangbei, Huang Degong was the most loyal.It is the simplest and most effective to start with Huang Degong.As long as Ma Shiying is dealt with, the [-] soldiers and horses in Huang Degong's hands are equivalent to Zhu Youjian's.

"Go back to Nanjing and tell Lu Jiude that as long as he still thinks about the royal family, he will persuade Huang Degong with you. Is what I said clear enough?"

"Understand. Understood." Ma Shiying wiped the sweat from his forehead.Although Huang Degong belongs to his own side, there are only 10 people in Huang Degong after all, and it is impossible for the other four towns to wear only one pair of trousers.What's more, Chongzhen still holds the power now, and he has no intention of rebelling.

"It's better to be tight-lipped about this matter. I don't want to see us fall apart. Do the two lovers know?"

Although this kind of matter has been clarified, it can only be told to the important officials.Fortunately, everyone has the same interests on this issue. The emperor has already gone into battle shirtless, and if he doesn't help, he will fall into the pit himself.

"Nanjing's internal affairs will be handed over to the two love ministers, please leave it to the two." After Zhu Youjian finished speaking, he bowed to the two.This is his habit of following later generations, if you want something from someone, you must be courteous to the other party.Shi Kefa and Ma Shiying were overwhelmed, they didn't expect Zhu Youjian's move at all.

"Your Majesty, you can't do it." Shi Kefa's eyes were a little red. He had always had a bad relationship with Chongzhen, but he didn't expect to be moved by Zhu Youjian this time.

"Two days later, the crown prince will go south with you. Officials in Nanjing, I will arrange for Wang Chengen to pass the decree. Everything is as usual, and there is no need to report to me for non-important matters. In addition, the summer harvest is coming soon, and the tax will not change for the time being. There are other doubts ?"

"Your Majesty, the cabinet..." Ma Shiying mentioned the cabinet, but Zhu Youjian didn't mention the cabinet, so Ma Shiying was a little excited.

"The cabinet has already been selected. When you return to Nanjing, it will be announced." Zhu Youjian left a big unsolved case, which everyone is looking forward to.

After Shi Kefa and Ma Shiying left, Zhu Youjian handed Wang Chengen a piece of paper. Wang Chengen opened it and was surprised.Inside is a list of officials from the Southern Ming Dynasty.

First of all, the cabinet alone made Wang Chengen blind. He hardly knew any of them.The three cabinet members listed by Zhu Youjian are: Du Yinxi, Ruan Dacheng, and Zhu Yujian.Oddly enough, these three men, although they are members of the cabinet, do not have any other false titles.According to the previous rules, cabinet ministers generally have the title of bachelor.

Wang Chengen hesitated to speak, Zhu Youjian saw his thoughts and said: "I am in the north, so I don't set up any cabinet. These three people are just as secretaries in Nanjing, and they can handle general daily affairs. Tang Wang Zhu Yujian served as assistant government Minister, lead the cabinet. Help the crown prince handle the affairs of state. The other two assist from the side. Do you understand now?"

Only then did Wang Chengen understand that Zhu Youjian had simply set up an ordinary organization to deal with affairs, which could only be directors and had no rights.This so-called cabinet also played the role of an uploader.

Chapter 43: Shandong General Soldier Harms Shandong

In the evening, the sun that had scorched the earth for a day finally set, and the house was still hot.

Zhu Youjian took Chen Yuanyuan for a walk slowly on the streets of Tai'an to cool off the heat.Since Zhu Youjian occupied Tai'an Prefecture, a large number of soldiers have been recruited.The 2000 people brought over from the capital have always been stationed in Dongchang Mansion, and a large number of recruits recruited from Luzhong were placed in Laiwu for training.

Tai'an Prefecture is almost an empty city, so the [-] soldiers from the four Jiangbei towns are temporarily placed in the outskirts of Tai'an, which is also a common practice.But Zhu Youjian hadn't walked two hundred acres away on the street when he saw soldiers wearing Ming army clothes running rampant on the street.
