Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

This is how the Marco Polo Bridge Incident in history was originally played. Fortunately, it won in the next eight years, and the Japanese slaves did not succeed.

Otherwise, instead of 56 ethnic groups, it is estimated that there will be 57.

The point is, who told Li Zizi and Zheng Zhilong to play like this?Can this kind of routine be learned without a teacher?

Then Emperor Chongzhen wondered if he should return to the capital.

At first, I planned to take advantage of the opportunity to kill Huang Taiji to escape the summer heat in the Northeast, but the high temperature almost gave me heatstroke.

Moreover, after Huang Taiji's death, Dorgon had already taken Huang Taiji's little wife Bumbutai away. Jiannu's family property was basically destroyed by Emperor Chongzhen, and he was also robbed of it. It's also a bit unreasonable.

There are still a lot of things waiting to be dealt with within Daming, and it is simply not worthwhile to spend a lot of time in Liaodong.

Then Emperor Chongzhen suddenly found himself troubled.

This is only the ninth year of Chongzhen. As the national power is getting stronger day by day, the slaves in the northeast are singing cool, and the Mongolian ministries in the north are no longer a problem. North Korea in the east has always been as good as a grandson. Hey, Java in the south has also fallen into my hands, and Xinming Island is full of vassal kings, and they can even put together a few tables of mahjong.

Even getting Nurgandusi completely in his hands is just around the corner.

What about the enemy?Looking around, who else is qualified to make me think about it?

Invincibility is a kind of loneliness, loneliness is like snow.

Emperor Chongzhen felt that he was awesome enough, and he should reward himself well after returning to Beijing—such as building a few gardens?How about getting a few more beautiful girls into the palace to have fun?

As an emperor, it is the most basic responsibility to eat more, occupy more, marry more wives and have more children, otherwise he is not a qualified emperor.

If you don't find a few more girls, the queen in the harem will make trouble, the ministers in the court will also make trouble, and the people will be dissatisfied.

In short, it is really difficult to be an emperor who satisfies everyone!

Of course, being an emperor is not without its benefits.

For example, when returning to Beijing this time, Emperor Chongzhen could throw down hundreds of thousands of troops willfully, and run to the capital with a few thousand fine horses himself.

It's just that he just returned to the capital, and before he was able to enjoy himself in the harem, someone came to trouble Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen was very happy when he was in Liaodong. The shells were opened and smashed, and the city of Shenyang was flattened by the shells.

Guo Yunhou in Beijing was very unhappy.

Should shells be bought with money?This time the emperor returned from his own expedition to Liaodong with great victories, should those soldiers be rewarded?Do you want to spend money for the reward?

Then Guo Laogui turned dark and begged Emperor Chongzhen with full of resentment. After seeing the ceremony, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, there is no money left in the treasury?"

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Guo Yunhou with an expression on his face that you were teasing me: "Why did Guo Aiqing say that? What about the taxes for the ninth year of Chongzhen?"

Guo Yunhou said expressionlessly: "Chongzhen's nine-year gift, many lands have been exempted by His Majesty. As for the tax, the spring tax has basically been spent, and the autumn tax has not been collected. It is estimated that it will take two months to release it. to Beijing.

In other words, during these two months, the national treasury was basically empty.

As for where the money went, I thought His Majesty could ask the Five Armies Governor's Mansion and the Bureau of Military Warfare, General Superintendent, Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Railways, Ministry of Communications and many other yamen. "

When Guo Yunhou mentioned the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and the Ministry of Railways, Emperor Chongzhen's rare old face blushed, although he couldn't see it.

Needless to say, the Ministry of Railways is a gold-swallowing monster. No amount of silver in the treasury is enough for it to spend, and at least it will have to spend decades.

As for cost recovery, it is not a problem at all to describe it as far away.

Unless the household registration guide system is abolished now and the people are allowed to move at will.

However, in order to achieve some ulterior purposes, Emperor Chongzhen kept shouting to strictly abide by the precepts of his ancestors.

If you want to change this one, it will take at least a long time to make it possible.

Moreover, Guo Yunhou's first name call was not the Ministry of Railways, but the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion. It can be seen that the bulk of the expenditure this time was still on the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion.

But no wonder others, in order to play the personal conquest of Liaodong as a red alert, the Emperor Chongzhen specifically ordered a maximum supply of flower bombs.

Although it can't reach the level of ten thousand taels of gold when a cannon is fired, the cost price of each shell is still three to five taels of silver, right?

As far as Emperor Chongzhen set up artillery outside Shenyang City to bombard the city wall, 1 taels of silver a day is really not too much.

Not to mention that there are also simple versions of hand grenades and explosive kits that are also open for supply.

Even if you don't count the ammunition that Liaodong has already fired, the inventory alone is enough to wipe Shenyang City off the map ten times or eight times.

This time Guo Yunhou chose to ask for an interview before the Great Court Meeting, and it was also to inoculate Emperor Chongzhen - the treasury was out of money, so take it easy.

Emperor Chongzhen rubbed his temples and asked, "Then what does Guo Aiqing think?"

Guo Yunhou tentatively said: "Your Majesty, Liaodong has been pacified, can the railway be repaired later?

Judging from the current treasury revenue and expenditure, it would be better to repair the railway in the south first, and then repair the railway in Liaodong?There are also those going to the northwest, should we also stop for a while? "

Guo Yunhou's temptation directly hit an indescribable point of Emperor Chongzhen, and he directly refused: "No! No matter how nervous the construction of the railway is, we can't stop!

The business tax is increasing year by year, and so is the customs tax. It will be a matter of time before the national treasury has a surplus. Now that the construction of the railway is delayed, it will be more troublesome in the future! "

Guo Yunhou said: "Your Majesty, if the railway business does not stop, even the rewards for the army after they come back will become a problem!"

Emperor Chongzhen also knew that he had no choice but to spend money. After all, it was not Arbor Day. A large part of the reason for Lao Guo, the minister of the household department, to be so troublesome was his own fault.

However, there is money in the inner pocket!

What belongs to the national treasury belongs to the national treasury, and what belongs to the internal money belongs to the domestic money. The two directions are very clear.

Those corrupt officials who ransacked their homes, where did the money from the ransacking go?

The answer is that most of the property of these guys went into the national treasury, and part of it went into the internal funds of Emperor Chongzhen.

For another example, among those vassal kings who ran to Xinming Island, which one was not scrapped by Emperor Chongzhen before they ran away?

This part did not go into the national treasury, but all went into the internal funds of Emperor Chongzhen.

There are also drug and poisonous salts that were sold crazy in the grasslands, Liaodong, and the country of Japan before, and the high-grade sweet potatoes were burned. All of these money went into the internal funds, and the national treasury didn't get a cent.

Under such circumstances, it is normal for the treasury to have no money, but there is money in the internal funds, and a steady stream of money is flowing into the internal funds.

Even if the natural disasters in various places continue to cost and the Royal Academy spends money like water, it still cannot cover up the fact that there is a lot of money in the internal funds.

Therefore, when Guo Yunhou made it clear that the national treasury was empty enough to run away with rats, Emperor Chongzhen had no choice but to take out his internal funds for emergency: "This time, all the rewards are paid out of internal funds, Guo Aiqing is not worried, right?

In addition, Guo Aiqing may be relieved if I take out another 1000 million taels of silver from the internal funds and lend it to the national treasury temporarily? "

Knock inside the code!

Guo Yunhou's current mood was like this, if it wasn't for his life, Guo Yunhou wanted to yell and curse in front of Emperor Chongzhen.
