In an instant, sweat was pouring down like rain.
He himself didn't know what to do, but if he couldn't type at this moment, the Minister of the Ministry of War that he just got would probably be gone.
At this moment, all the ministers looked at Shen Yongmao with complete attention, especially the people in the Ministry of War looked at him coldly.
Shen Yongmao could feel the thorns behind him almost without turning his head.
At that moment, Shen Yongmao frowned and thought for a while, then straightened up abruptly and said in a deep voice:
"The [-] elite army under Zhu Xieyuan, governor of the five southeastern provinces, is available, but not at this moment."
As soon as these words came out, he immediately felt that the feeling of thorns on his back faded instantly, but the gaze of the first Chongzhen made him instantly stressed.
Shen Yongmao already had a general plan in mind at this moment, but he didn't panic in the slightest when facing Chongzhen's eyes.
"Shaanxi is full of chaotic troops, and it is not appropriate to deploy a large number of local troops and guards at this moment, so they cannot move."
"The important towns on the nine borders must be on guard against the Mongols and the northern captives of the late Jin Dynasty, and they cannot be used."
"At this moment, there is no other way but His Majesty allocates funds to recruit elite soldiers from all over the world."
Shen Yongmao finished the words in his heart in one breath, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. At this moment, he also spoke out with the words, and his whole thinking suddenly became active.
His words are basically the current situation of Daming at this moment, and no one objects, even Chongzhen is no exception at this moment.
When Zhu Youchen had [-] rebels, he desperately hoped that Zhu Xieyuan's [-] troops could wipe out Zhu Youchen immediately.
But at this moment, the opponent already has an army of 30, so we can only think about it in the long run.
However, Chongzhen was still upset, and even seemed impatient.
"Where did the counter-insurgency army come from?"
Hearing this, everyone in the court hall held their breath, raised their ears, and looked at Shen Yongmao in the middle of the court hall.
Where to recruit troops?
Recruitment is also important.
Shen Yongmao is full of confidence at the moment, with a confident look on his brows, since he intends to be Minister of the Ministry of War, he has done his homework early.
Immediately, Shen Yongmao threw out all the thoughts in his mind...
"The army under Judgment King Zhu Youchen's command is now a warship. The imperial court can immediately issue an order to clean up the coastal defenses of various places, and strictly prevent Zhu Youchen's army from landing."
Chongzhen was silent, and the officials did not say a word. Such actions are old-fashioned actions.
"Zhu Youchen's army is all warships at the moment. It can be inferred that all the soldiers under his command are soldiers who are good at water warfare. It may be difficult to match his water warfare power on land. This is the opportunity for the court to suppress the rebellion."
"The strength of the officers and soldiers of the southeast coast guard is still there. The imperial court should spend money to recruit and form an elite army. If it recruits a large army, it can raise a hundred thousand troops."
A gleam flashed in Chongzhen's eyes, which was also what he thought of.
Not many years have passed since the Japanese pirate rebellion, and it has been a long-tested fact that the southern soldiers are worthy of battle.
It's just that there are problems, but the foundation laid down back then will never collapse completely.
But this number of soldiers and horses is not enough, even with the [-] troops under Zhu Xieyuan's command, it is far from enough.
What he wanted was not defeat, but the complete annihilation of Zhu Youchen's army.
Shen Yongmao obviously knew Chongzhen's thoughts very well, and immediately went on to report:
"Recruit military households from the Nine Frontiers, recruit more than [-] cavalry from the army who can ride horses. Choose the commander-in-chief, and wait until Zhu Youchen's rebels come to the north, and put down the rebels in one battle."
The cavalry is really the decisive force in the north, and the recruitment of infantry is to prepare for the [-] cavalry.
However, if it is established in this way, the silver taels that need to be spent are simply astronomical.
Especially at the moment when Daming is spending money everywhere.
Therefore, when Shen Yongmao's words fell, the officials looked at each other, and no one stood up to speak.
When the whole court hall was silent for an instant, Shangshu Hubu walked out directly, cupped his hands and said:
"Your Majesty, the Household Department has no money!".
Chapter 243
The court will continue, but the atmosphere in Fengtian Hall is oppressive at the moment.
The ministers looked at Bi Ziyan, the Minister of the Household Department who was kneeling, feeling inexplicably cold.
Yes poor.
The majestic Hubu Shangshu actually makes people feel pitiful, and I am afraid that it is not shocking, but crazy to say it.
"Your Majesty's household department has completely run out of money!"
Bi Ziyan's words echoed in the entire Fengtian Hall, all the officials bowed their heads in sympathy, but Chongzhen, who was at the top, became furious in an instant.
This is simply tearing him down!
He hadn't spoken just now, but the Minister of the Household Department jumped out and said he had no money?
Is this to gag him in advance?
When Chongzhen thought of this, his entire face sank in an instant, and he raised his eyes to look at Bi Ziyan and opened his mouth to scold, but the next moment his body shook violently, and his pupils shrank.
"Why is this..."
But his words were instantly drowned out by 26 exclamations from the officials:
"Old Shangshu!!!"
"Master Shangshu, please!"
"Master Shangshu!!"
In front of many ministers, Bi Ziyan took off his crown, his gray hair scattered in pieces, and he knelt down on the cold floor, and a muffled voice came.
"The old minister has been the Minister of the Household Department since the Tianqi period. He tried his best to maintain the Household Department for ten years. However, the Household Department cannot make ends meet every year. Up to now, the entire Household Department has less than ten thousand taels of silver in deposit."
"The dignified household has less than ten thousand taels of silver!! Ten thousand taels!! This old man is incompetent, ashamed of the late emperor, ashamed of the people of the world!!!"
After saying that, Bi Ziyan kowtowed heavily on the ground twice with his head, and when he lifted it up again, he was already in tears, and his forehead was even more livid.
Those two short sentences were like a cuckoo's cry of blood and a monkey's wail, and in an instant, everyone in the household department fell to their knees with a crash.
"The minister is incompetent!!"
Sadness, grief and indignation.
All kinds of emotions continued to spread in the hearts of all Hubu people, and tears were already in everyone's eyes.
They are tired!
The entire Daming used money everywhere, and natural and man-made disasters continued year after year. To be able to maintain the current situation has already exhausted the efforts of everyone in the household department.
At this moment, if you are raising an army?
There really isn't anything they can do about it.
Make bricks without straw……
The sudden change caused the entire hall to be completely shocked in the end. No one thought that this would be the case.
The entire Fengtian Temple was instantly quiet, and the footsteps of the patrolling guards outside were amplified in an instant.
Chongzhen's pupils shrank, and he stood up in a flash, with his eyes wide open, he took two quick steps and said in a trembling voice:
"Why is this??? Why is this!!!"
I don't know if he is talking about Bi Ziyan or the Ministry of Household Affairs, or because of the difficult situation of Daming at the moment...
The surrounding officials were shocked, and the faces of the six ministers all became serious, and there was nothing but helplessness in their eyes.
If you are not at home, you do not know that diesel, rice, oil, and salt are expensive.
Although they are not household ministers, they are clear about the general situation among the six departments.
Without Bi Ziyan's strong support, the Ming court would have collapsed ten years ago, not to mention supporting it for ten years...
But at this moment, Bi Ziyan's words did not stop, but continued:
"At this moment, not to mention the money to put down Zhu Youzhu's rebel army, even the military salaries of the Liaodong and Datong border towns have not been paid for four months. Everything is being maintained by the sidelines. The veterans and the household department have really changed. No more money."
As soon as these words came out, all the officials were silent, this is something that everyone in the court knows.
But Chongzhen, who was at the top, was taken aback, what?
Liaodong and other border towns are like this...
Chongzhen subconsciously remembered the previous mutiny in the Xuan Mansion, and subconsciously wanted to ask where Yin Zi went?
However, Chongzhen stared at Bi Ziyan below, but suddenly stopped talking, and clenched his hands behind his back.
Although Bi Ziyan is in his early fifties at the moment, he is as old as an old man in his 70s.
At this moment, with disheveled hair, he became even more old and stooped.
Chongzhen's heart was trembling, he took two steps back and sat down on the dragon chair, his mind was a little blank.
However, how to settle the current chaos without silver?
Just thinking about Chongzhen makes me feel a little shuddering, but this chaotic situation cannot be unfair, and this has simply fallen into an endless loop.
How to do?
How to do?
Chongzhen stared at the palace above his head with bloodshot eyes, and a hoarse voice sounded: "Old Shangshu, get up first!"
Bi Ziyan stood up according to his words.
However, the entire Fengtian Hall fell into dead silence in an instant, and all the officials felt a little concerned at the moment.
desolate.
pessimistic.
Nuo Da's empire has reached such a point, and at this moment it is really at the point of internal and external troubles.
Since the millennium, there has never been a 300-year dynasty in the world.
Could it be that Daming is going to follow the footsteps of subjugation at this moment?
Thinking of this, all the officials were terrified, and their scalps were numb, and they threw such terrible thoughts out of their minds.
"Could it be that my Daming died like this?"
Chongzhen on the dragon chair was also feeling powerless at the moment, but in his mind he couldn't help recalling the last entrustment of Emperor Tianqi.
You should be the king of Yao and Shun!
I shall be the king of Yao and Shun!
I want to be the king of Yao and Shun!
"I will become the king of Yao and Shun! Huang Taiji, Zhu Youchen, etc., I will destroy them!"
Thinking of this, a gleam of light flashed in Chongzhen's eyes, and a great force surged up in his whole body, and he suddenly raised his head to look at Bi Ziyan below:
"Old Shangshu, I have used all my internal treasury as the treasury of the household department...".
Chapter 244
"I will fill all my internal treasury into the household treasury!"
The loud words of Chongzhen reverberated in the spacious Fengtian Hall.
The ministers were shocked, and suddenly raised their heads, shock, shock and other emotions emerged in the hearts of the ministers in the hall.
"His Majesty!"
"His Majesty……"
The shocked words of the ministers blurted out from their mouths.
The inner treasury fills the national treasury.
