Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

Emperor Chongzhen hummed, but straight to the point: "I don't play charades with Hong Aiqing either. Zhang Nian, the magistrate of Yan'an Prefecture, was corrupt and forced people to rebel. I have already executed him.

It's just that thief Zhang is dead, but the Yan'an mansion is full of wars.

I want Hong Aiqing to come to the Yan'an Mansion because I want to add an extra burden to Hong Aiqing, does Hong Aiqing have confidence? "

Hong Chengchou was overjoyed when he heard the words.

Regardless of where Emperor Chongzhen knew his name, anyway, this good thing that added burden fell on his own head.

Now that the conjecture in his heart is about to become a fact, Hong Chengchou, who secretly heaved a sigh of relief, calmed down, and said to Emperor Chongzhen, "Your Majesty, I will repay you with death."

Emperor Chongzhen hummed, and murmured in his heart, you don't want to die forever, just die once.

After pondering for a while, Emperor Chongzhen continued to ask: "Around Yan'an Mansion, there is Wang Jiayin to the north, Gao Yingxiang who claims to be Chuang Wang, and Wang Ziyong who is called Zijinliang. Fan Ji. With the current situation, I don't know how Hong Aiqing plans to deal with it?"

Hong Chengchou's spirit was lifted, and he secretly thought that the topic was coming.As long as I deal with it properly, I am the magistrate of Yan'an Prefecture.

As for the future, I can be regarded as the magistrate personally ordered by the emperor, no matter what, I can be regarded as Jane in the emperor's heart, and then I will really be on the rise, won't I?

In order to perform well in front of Emperor Chongzhen, Hong Chengchou mused for a long time before cupping his hands and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, I think the so-called rebels are just ordinary people who put down their hoes and cannot be called an army. Suppress and appease and use."

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen didn't speak, but he looked like he was waiting for him to speak, Hong Chengchou was also a little confused about what Emperor Chongzhen was thinking.

When I was in Xi'an Mansion before, I always heard that Emperor Chongzhen had killed a corrupt official who harmed the people, and he once got angry and said that he could not let a victim of the disaster starve to death.

From this point of view, Emperor Chongzhen should value Fu more.

However, the rumors that I heard all the way northward that Emperor Chongzhen dealt with Yichuan City didn't look like a master, but more like a heavy suppression.

But now the emperor doesn't say whether he is heavy suppression or heavy comfort, he just asks himself what should he do?His mother, if the emperor suppressed him severely but said that he should mainly caress him, wouldn't he be displeased by that time?

Thinking about the Yichuan county that was slaughtered, and thinking about the glorious deeds of Emperor Chongzhen who built Beijing temples at every turn, Hong Chengchou simply put his heart on the line and cupped his hands and said: "Qi Zuo Your Majesty, I think the main thing is to suppress .”

Even though he secretly scolded Hong Chengchou for being too murderous, Emperor Chongzhen's face remained unchanged, he just hummed lightly and said, "Go on."

Hong Chengchou cupped his hands and said: "If the people are in chaos, if they cannot be eliminated quickly, they will easily turn into bandits and harm other places. Therefore, I think that not only in troubled times, but also in troubled events, heavy codes should be used.

If some descendants are dissatisfied because they don't have enough food, and they rebel again, the court will have to put down the rebellion again, and the waste of supplies and military salaries will inevitably be uncountable.

The old minister believes that those who are willing to surrender, whether they go down with the grandson of the king of the Tang Dynasty to poison and found the country, or break up and reorganize as the people on the spot.For those who are unwilling to surrender, it is better to wipe them out early. "

In fact, there is another most important reason why Hong Chengchou dared not say it—no matter how much money the court brought out to buy food and send it to the disaster relief, it would still inevitably be exploited layer by layer. In addition, there were so many people affected by the disaster that there was not enough food no matter what. , in this case, how to completely solve the rebellion without killing a group of rebels?

Especially those who take the lead, even if it is to prevent others from following suit, they must first eliminate a group of them early.

As the saying goes, the ass determines the head, and the current Emperor Chongzhen has figured it out, so he can't help but feel soft-hearted about this matter.

If we didn't use both soft and hard measures early to solve the civil uprising in Shaanxi, the consequences would be very happy-basically, the imperial army defeated the uprising peasant army, and then the peasant army turned into rogues.

But where do the bandits go?

Anyway, it doesn't go to Jiannu, and it goes to the surrounding Shanxi, Henan, and Sichuan areas properly.

and then?

Encumbered and developed along the way, even if it is completely pacified in the end, I am afraid that Daming will suffer a lot of vitality—especially during the Little Ice Age, when the land was not leveled and the land rose again, it was really easy to get rid of blindly caressing.

And the most innocent among them are those who have not yet rebelled.

It turns out that at least there is still relief food from the imperial court to eat, but when there is a war disaster, they really can only resign themselves to their fate. Among them, I don’t know how many people who could have survived died in the war disaster.

Otherwise, there would be no such saying that he would rather be a dog of peace than a person in a troubled world.

For specific examples, you can refer to those bigwigs in the Middle East.After the prosperous days are gone, who is the one who dies the most?

It will never be the rich, let alone the rebels and government (government) troops, but those civilians-the guns roar every day, and there are fewer accidental injuries?If you are timid, you will be frightened to death.

Not to mention, here in Yan'an Mansion there is a little brother Li who used to deliver couriers but is now missing. Such a heart demon made Emperor Chongzhen feel like a stick in his throat day and night.

Emperor Chongzhen, who had made up his mind, simply said: "In a few days, the army of the governor of the three sides, Yang He, will also arrive. Hong Aiqing and Zhao Ping, the commander of the capital of Yan'an, will cooperate with Yang Aiqing to put down the rebellion as soon as possible."

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen still added a sentence: "If there are rebels willing to surrender, the main thing is to recruit them. Tell them, if they are willing to go with His Royal Highness Tang Wang Shisun to go to the poison, each person will be given 20 taels of Anjia silver. If you are conscripted as a civilian husband, you will still be paid."

Chapter 258 King Qin and King Qing are two scumbags (4 words second update)

Yang He, the governor of the three sides of the Ming Dynasty, has actually been paying attention to the war or the situation in Shaanxi.

Since receiving the secret decree from Emperor Chongzhen ordering him to prepare for counter-rebellion, Yang He has devoted a considerable part of his energy to Shaanxi.

As a fairly traditional civil servant, Yang He felt that it was necessary for him to extinguish the rebellion in Shaanxi early and give Emperor Chongzhen an explanation.

But things go bad because of this traditional literati character.

Yang He has always felt that, as a minister of the court, he has read the books of sages and sages, so no matter what, he should inherit the knowledge of the past sages and bring peace to all generations.

So this guy thinks that the civil uprising in Shaanxi should be based on appeasement.Suppression is to be suppressed, but it must adhere to the principle of punishing the former and killing the later, and curing the disease to save the sick, so it is still necessary to give priority to relief of the people.

It has to be said that this idea is similar to that of the original Emperor Chongzhen.

But this idea is different from that of Shaanxi governor Hu Tingyan.

Hu Tingyan felt that there was no rebellion anywhere. Aren't they just muddy legs who can't eat and make trouble? As long as there is food in the autumn harvest next year, they will naturally be honest and make trouble.

It is also this kind of idea of ​​wanting to reduce the size to the smaller and make the matter smaller that killed Hu Tingyan.

Emperor Chongzhen, who had been extremely dissatisfied with the governor of Shaanxi for a long time, simply ordered Jin Yiwei to come to the door - ransacked the house, took people back to Beijing and sent him to prison. As for how to deal with it, we will talk about the matter in Shaanxi.

So when Yang He brought the army to Yan'an Mansion to meet Emperor Chongzhen, what he saw was Emperor Chongzhen's face without a trace of expression, but anyone could see the extremely gloomy and stinky face - except the blind man.

After Yang He had just finished playing the match, Emperor Chongzhen's face became even more stinky.

"Governor Wu Zhiwang of Guyuan felt ashamed to face His Majesty, and committed suicide. It is a pity that his medical skills, thanks to His Majesty's blessings, his medical books "Jiyin Compendium", "Jiyang Compendium" and "Salesian Compendium" still exist."

Emperor Chongzhen's medical skills at this level, even with the memory of the original Emperor Chongzhen, can only be said to be a half-knowledgeable level.

These three books are very good things when you listen to them. "Jiyang Compendium" and "Jiyin Compendium" are about andrology and gynecology. As for "Salesian Compendium", it should be aimed at children. I don’t know why it’s not called the Compendium of Dumbness, I guess it’s because it’s not very pleasant to listen to?

In fact, Emperor Chongzhen really wanted to get Li Shizhen over.

But it's a pity, Li Shizhen passed away in the 22nd year of Wanli, so you can't dig up the grave of old Li and bring him in front of you, right?Anyway, Emperor Chongzhen wasn't mad enough for that.

Besides, even if it is planed, it is not much use, is it?Assuming that digging graves could bring these medical bigwigs back to work, Emperor Chongzhen wouldn't even mind digging out all bigwigs like Bian Que and Hua Tuo.

Emperor Chongzhen thought of this question when he saw Hong Chengchou a few days ago.

Seeing Hong Chengchou reminded Emperor Chongzhen of Brother Ma.

And Brother Ma has had smallpox.
