On the side of the Taiye Pond in the Forbidden City, Emperor Chongzhen and several cabinet bigwigs traveled to the lake but frowned, their faces were solemn, and the plague spread in the capital for a long time without rain, and the thieves were not eliminated, and hundreds of people were lost...... Emperor Chongzhen, who was pressed on every piece, couldn't breathe, and the court was helpless.

was already overwhelmed, but the Qing army added fuel to the fire and took advantage of the danger of people to enter the pass and plunder, Chongzhen couldn't help gritting his teeth when he thought about it, and sighed again and again, Li Banghua behind him looked up at the sky: "This is past noon, and Grandpa Chang should wake up."

As soon as he heard this, Chongzhen was even more angry, Chang Yu, the dog thing, had a way to deal with it, but he didn't ventilate me, he slept soundly, but he was restless in his heart.

"When he wakes up, he will come to see me, since I use him, I will believe him" Emperor Chongzhen pretended to be light, Li Banghua shrugged: "The emperor is broad-minded and does not doubt that he is good at employing people, and Chang Gonggong must be confident in planning and fighting, but ...... After all, the situation is critical at the moment, and this is really a bit of a big sleep......"

cough cough, Gong Yonggu cleared his throat: "Hearing that Chang Gonggong is working on military affairs until dawn, it is not an exaggeration to rest more than he is flesh and blood, and now the people and horses have gone out of the city for training without delay......"

"The Tartar can be reached in one day, oh no, you can go to the city in half a day, at this time, when you go out of the city to meet the enemy, what are you going to train at this juncture, it's too late to hug the Buddha's feet in battle" The second assistant Wu Fu shook his head and was very puzzled.

"What Lord Cifu said is the Tao, if you leave the heavy responsibility of defending the enemy to you" Gong Yonggu rolled his eyes, this kind of court bastard is mostly talking on paper, if you really let him do it, one has no ability, and the other has no guts.

Wu Fu was furious by him, and the two of them tore apart in a blink of an eye, one was the second assistant of the cabinet, and the other was the emperor and the former celebrity, no one was scared of anyone, and then many people were involved in the pond fish, and there were also people in the middle and the mud, Chongzhen sighed and shook his head, he was numb to the court every day, but he had enough spare strength, because the civil power of the Ming Dynasty was too big and arrogant, and the speech was very free, and the emperor didn't need to point to Sang and scold Huai, just name and name, and let you admit your mistake and apologize after scolding, and the general emperor can't afford to provoke them at all, which is also the reason why many emperors reused eunuchs, just to check and balance them.

When Emperor Chongzhen was shaking his head and sighing, a eunuch hurriedly came to him: "Your Majesty, the people and horses training outside the city suddenly dispersed, saying that they went to kill the Tartars, and even the king went to ......."

Ah, Emperor Chongzhen was taken aback, didn't he say good training, why did he suddenly ......, "Is Chang Yu over?" The eunuch shook his head: "Father-in-law Chang has never come out of the Yamen of the Waidongchang Factory, and I heard that Lord Wang's killing of Tartars is also a training project."

Train to kill the Tartars! , Chongzhen was shocked, and then stroked his palms and said yes, the officers and soldiers of the Beijing battalion have not been in battle for a long time, and if they are not bloody and morale are low, they will be sent to death, Chang Yu's training is to make them adapt to the battlefield at the fastest speed and the lowest cost.

The ministers who were originally noisy and red-faced also came over when they heard the sound, and learned that the Ming army outside the city went to hunt Tartars and explore horses, so they retreated one after another, Chongzhen knew that they were going to the city to watch the battle, and hated the inconvenience of the king of a country to go out of the palace.

"Why don't you go and see the excitement?" Chongzhen saw that only Gong Yonggu had not left, so he smiled bitterly: "You come back and listen to me."

Gong Yonggu sneered: "Your Majesty, the ministers are not those stupid hats, what are you going to the city to see?" I'm afraid that even the military flag can't be seen clearly, and the Tartar Tanma is no matter how arrogant it is, I'm afraid that I don't dare to enter the capital within ten miles, and the sight of this cloudy day is not good, what can I see! ”

Emperor Chongzhen was stunned, then laughed, and said half-loudly: "What did you say Chang Yu's kid thought of, how could he be so calm and sleep until now?" ”

"The minister doesn't have the ability of Chang Gonggong, so I don't know his countermeasures, but with the minister's understanding of him, Chang Gonggong may not be sleeping at this time."

Emperor Chongzhen raised his eyebrows: "Not sleeping?" Then he ......"

"Your Majesty, Commander Wu seems to have gone out of the palace over there" Gong Yonggu smiled, Emperor Chongzhen's mouth opened slightly, and he smiled: "Chang Yu is overworked, let him sleep more."

Chang Yu was really sleepy, although his energy was different from ordinary people, he couldn't hold it up after running back to Beijing from six or seven hundred days a day and night, and he really fell asleep at dawn.

But when the guard Chen Suole informed Wu Mengming that he was coming, he immediately turned over and got out of bed, and went straight to the lobby without having time to wash his face, and took Wu Mengming's hand is elder brother who has not seen him for a long time and misses it very much, which flattered Lao Wu, and always felt an indescribable panic.

Seeing that the little eunuch was full of tiredness, but he looked at him with two eyes, this look was a little familiar, Wu Mengming finally reflected it and said with a wry smile: "Factory Governor, if you have something to say, you don't need to be like this, it's a terrible person."

Chang Yu laughed: "Then let's just say it."

"Wait" Wu Mengming gritted his teeth: "A good errand or a bad errand, first prepare for the lowly job, the lowly job is very panicked" said and patted his chest vigorously.

"Naturally, it's a good errand, a good thing to make money" As soon as Chang Yu's words fell, Wu Mengming's eyes turned green, and he licked his mouth vigorously: "Say it earlier...... Hey, you're not going to let you go out of the city and do that...... Ahem, this time it's really not good, the Tartars are too vicious to kill people when they see them, if you force the lowly to go out of the city, it's better to cut the lowly post directly in this yamen."

"What are you talking about, you and my brothers are brothers, how could our family let you go to death" Chang Yu looked straight and helped him make tea, "Do you remember when we were besieging the Taiyuan thief army when we raised money and food?" ”

Wu Mengming immediately smiled: "Naturally remember, you can fish at that time...... Is the factory governor going to take advantage of the siege of the Tartars to collect donations in the capital at this time? ”

"Yes!" Chang Yu slapped his thigh vigorously: "If you think about who the soldiers are coming to the city, they don't panic, ordinary people will run away if they are a big deal, but those big families have a big business, how can they be willing to escape, they will naturally contribute money, food and strength to help the officers and soldiers defend the city against the enemy, right?"

Wu Mengming's eyebrows fluttered when he heard this: "What the factory governor said is extremely true, there are many nobles and rich gentry in the capital, and it is not a small amount to raise any money...... and suddenly frowned: "But it's all fucking iron roosters, the factory governor still remembers the income from the emperor's fundraising at the beginning of the year...... It's a shame for them."

"This time is different, when the emperor raised funds at the beginning of the year, the thief army was still hundreds of thousands of miles away, and those iron roosters had no pressure, and now the Tartars were under their noses and could come to the city at any time, how could they not panic" Chang Yu said.

Wu Mengming still frowned and sighed: "The factory governor still doesn't understand those iron roosters, no matter how far or near the enemy army is, the emperor raises silver with the dignity of the king of a country, but if he is a little loyal to the monarch and patriotic, it will not be so ugly, those things are simply shameless, I am afraid that the factory supervisor's plan will fall through this time."

And, Chang Yu rolled his eyes: "Of course Bendu knows their urine nature, and they don't give you a sip of cold water to drink, so we have to use some means to get some hard ones, and we have to donate if you don't donate."

"But forcing donations is an insult to the royal family, the emperor will not agree, and even if he agrees, he will be scolded to death by those civil officials" Wu Mengming shook his head vigorously.

"So you can't be in the name of the emperor, and neither can Dongchang and Jinyiwei, you can do it in your private name" Chang Yu just stared at him, and Wumeng looked dazed: "In the name of a private person? Who has such a great appeal, how many princes, damn, they can't hide......" After a while, seeing that the little eunuch seemed to have a smile on his face, he stood up: "Factory Governor, you don't want to be in the name of humility, right...... No, no, no, the humble position doesn't have that appeal," Wu Mengming shook his head vigorously.

"If you want the appeal of the fart, you just need the means" Chang Yu smiled.

Wu Mengming got up and walked out: "Factory Governor, the emperor just ordered the humble duty has not been done, and the humble post is retired......

"Come back" Chang Yu shouted: "For whom" got up and walked to Wu Mengming, pointing at him with a hatred of iron and steel: "There are many big families in the capital, how many people squeeze their heads to think about such a good opportunity to make money, our family and you have a deep brotherhood to leave the opportunity to you, but you appreciate it."

"Factory Governor, don't play, although you love money, you are even more desperate. Those big families in Beijing all have deep backgrounds, and I can't afford to mess with any of them" Wu Mengming said with a bitter face: "They even dare to assassinate you, it's ...... to be lowly."

"Okay, since you don't want to go, our family is not reluctant, now that the Tartars are besieging the city, the military situation is urgent, and the governor wants to send people out of the city to go deep into the tiger's den to investigate the enemy's situation, you are the head snake and the boss of the Jinyi Guard, so you can go at this time" Chang Yu said lightly.

"Ahem, cough, factory governor, what kind of operation do you say about fundraising, the lowly position is suddenly very interested in taking the opportunity to make a profit, the so-called wealth and wealth are in danger, and it is most normal to take some risks," Wu Mengming sat down seriously, picked up the teacup and took a sip: "How can you say that the lowly position is also the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and there is still some face in this forty-nine city, right?"

Chang Yu laughed, and then sat down: "Lord Wu, at this time and that time, the Qing army is coming to the city, and those bigwigs have to pull out a few hairs on the iron rooster, that's right, you have to be infamy, but if someone scolds you, someone will praise it, once this thing is done beautifully, the emperor will not look at you differently."

Wu Mengming's eyes lit up and licked his lips: "That's right, if the emperor favors him, what is this infamy, not to mention that there are a lot of benefits, by the way, Lord Inspector, what a process."

"Each of the three national mansions will pay 20,000, Hou 10,000, 5,000, and the number of difficult households will be slightly reduced" Chang Yu picked up the teacup with a smile on his face, and there were nearly 100 nobles in the capital: "It's not a problem to get 1.8 million."

Wu Mengming's eyes were green: "Only move these nobles, don't you move the officials?" ”

"The civil official group is powerful, and under normal circumstances, it will not end well to provoke them, but at this time, it is the time when the Tartars are in the city, let's raise donations and occupy the righteousness, even if they are unhappy in their hearts, they will not say anything, the Beijing officials are poor, just raise two children at will, but the big guys in the DPRK and China should focus on taking care of it."

Wu Mengming got up and sighed, "This is a tough battle, but the gains must be very rich" said and smiled bitterly: "Of course, the lowly position will also be scolded very badly!" Factory Governor, let's see if you can take care of it."

"How about 20% of the income?" Chang Yu didn't raise his head and said casually.

"A word is a certainty" Wu Mengming was impatient to leave to the door and suddenly turned around and asked, "In addition to these noble and noble Beijing officials in the capital, there are many businessmen and wealthy gentry in the capital, so it is better to spread them all."

Chang Yu smiled: "You can't eat alone, just concentrate on fighting with those iron roosters, as for these businessmen and gentry, there are other people to raise donations."
