"Your Majesty, Qin Liangyu, the governor of the southwest, has sent an urgent report!

On the fourth day of the fourth month of April, Qin Yiming and Qin Gongming led their troops to break through Uchang Mansion and destroy 20,000 enemies.

On the seventh day of the fourth month, two generals, Qin Zuoming and Ma Wannian, broke through Jiujiang Mansion, destroyed 40,000 enemies, and the rest surrendered!

The left bandits have been eliminated, and the governor of Qin asks for instructions on how to deal with the prisoners of the thief army! ”

Yang Haichao, a member of the military department, said in a somewhat frozen tone.

It was the first time he had met Chongzhen in a lowly official position, and it was inevitable that he would be nervous, but when he thought that the left bandits in the southwest had been pacified, this foreigner was happy in his heart.

As soon as the soldiers who came to deliver the letter entered the yamen of the military department, they were so tired that they fell to the ground, and the bigwigs of the military department also went to the court and did not return, so he had to come forward.

"Good! Good! Good! After listening to this foreign man's recital, Chongzhen shouted three times in a row.

He seemed to be more excited than this outsider, and even stood up from his throne.

Li Yunkui stepped down the imperial stairs, took the song and handed it to Chongzhen, Chongzhen only glanced at it and confirmed, in fact, no one dared to joke about it.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Daming Wansheng! Li Banghua, the secretary of the military department, took the lead in kneeling down and congratulated Chongzhen.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, Ming Wansheng!" Baiguan then knelt down.

Liu Hong gradually looked left and right, everyone knelt down, and he was embarrassed to stand and squirm and salute.

"All the ministers are flat! Qin Aiqing lived up to my expectations, and swept away the left bandits who had harmed Jiangnan for two years with lightning speed, I am happy!

Li Yunkui proposed a decree to give Qin Liangyu a python suit and a reward of 3,000 taels of silver!

Qin Yiming was enshrined as Ping Nanbo, and he was given a flying fish suit and a reward of 1,000 taels of silver!

Qin Gongming was named Ning Nanbo, and he was given a flying fish suit and a reward of 1,000 taels of silver!

Enshrined Qin Zuoming as Jing Nanbo, gave flying fish clothes, and rewarded 1,000 taels of silver!

Ma Wannian, the grandson of Qin Liangyu, was named Annanbo, and he was given a flying fish suit and a reward of 1,000 taels of silver!

……”

Chongzhen's tone was full of undoubtedness, the north retreated from the Tartars, and the south destroyed the great tribulation Zuo Liangyu, and the Ming Dynasty has been developing towards a good momentum.

"Your Majesty is wise!" All the officials said in unison.

Now, if anyone wants to stop it, it is to die!

Now that only Zhang Xianzhong's bandit army in Sichuan is left in the entire Ming Dynasty, and General Qin is guarding in the southwest, there is no need to worry about it.

Or is the person recommended by this kid Youming reliable, this kid, huh? Dozing off again?

"An Guogong?" Chongzhen shouted to the rear.

"Weichen is here, what is the matter with Your Majesty looking for ministers?" Liu Hongjian actually listened, but he was not as excited as Chongzhen and the courtiers, he was just closing his eyes and recuperating.

In his opinion, the destruction of Zuo Liangyu's group of local chickens and dogs is inevitable, just a group of salted fish without dreams.

It's just that he didn't expect this group of salted fish to be so unbearable, with an army of more than 200,000!

What's special is that they all stick their heads out and let the Ming army cut it, and it will take ten days and half a month to cut it.

Qin Aiqing said that a total of 60,000 enemies were annihilated in this battle, and more than 168,000 bandits were captured.

According to Aiqing, what should be done with these captives? Chongzhen's face was ruddy, and he was no longer as depressed as before.

My God, Grandma Qin is so fierce, 168,000 captives!

How did you do this, you dare to compare yourself with the old general Qin, and your record in Liaodong is nothing at all.

However, Uncle Chongzhen was also quite arrogant, and made the three brothers of the Qin family and the only remaining seedlings of the Ma family all earls.

Well, it's just a little bit of that for General Huang and General Qin!

I've been crowned the Duke of the Kingdom, why are people still marquises, whether it's merit or hard work, it should be these two generals who pay more than him!

But even if he thought so in his heart, Liu Hongjian just thought about it, it was not a wise move to get cheap and sell well.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Jiangnan has won the battle, and the imperial court should pay out pensions and silver rewards according to the number of military achievements, so that the soldiers can fight for the imperial court with peace of mind!

The bandit leader can order the old general Qin to send people to the capital to offer prisoners, but just like the Tartar generals beheaded in the west city to declare the prestige of the Ming Dynasty.

As for the bandit soldiers...... Lord Fan, I heard that the north is digging a canal? Liu Hong gradually turned around and asked Fan Jingwen, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

As early as the end of last year, because the treasury had silver, in order to prevent the continuation of the severe drought in the north, at the suggestion of Liu Hongji, the cabinet began to organize the construction of water conservancy.

But digging canals was so difficult in those days, there were no excavators, no tractors, even horse-drawn carriages and tires, everything was done by manpower!

Fan Jingwen was only surprised for a moment, and then understood what Liu Hongjian meant.

"Your Majesty, Weichen requests that these captives be escorted to the north to dig ditches!" He hurriedly spoke, for fear of being preempted.

Fan Jingwenle is broken, you must know that prisoners don't need to be paid, and unlike ordinary workers, prisoners, if you don't obey, you won't be fed!

"It's just that so many captives, how to get to the north, what if something happens along the way?" Meng Zhaoxiang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, raised doubts.

"It's okay, just take the waterway, the waterway is fast, it's safe, just send a decree to add more embankments along the Caoyun line." Liu Hong gradually thought for a while.

The soldiers who dared to fight were almost dead in Jiujiang and U Changcheng, and the rest were just a group of peasant soldiers, and most of them went to make trouble because they had nothing to eat.

Nowadays, although there is no wage for digging canals, at least there is food to eat, and the people of the Ming Dynasty, who will go to revolt if they have food?

"Quasi-play!" Chongzhen was also very happy.

Captives have always been a difficult problem to deal with, and it seems that the Ming court is too brutal to kill them.

But these problems were gradually solved by Liu Hong in a few words, and it was seamless, Chongzhen was relieved.

"An Guogong recommended meritorious service, rewarded 2,000 taels of silver, and a box of ancient calligraphy and paintings! Follow me to the Qianqing Palace to discuss matters and retire from the dynasty! After Chongzhen finished speaking, he got up and walked out of the Imperial Palace.

Well, there is also a reward for the country's public!

Uncle Chongzhen is really generous, and the ancient calligraphy and paintings at home from the two Jin and Northern Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty have eight boxes.

are all authentic works of celebrities, and this thing will be shelved in the future, and it is estimated that only one painting can sell for millions.

Alas, can't the country's father-in-law go back?

Liu Hong gradually thought to himself as he walked towards the Qianqing Palace.

"What's the matter with the emperor looking for a minister?" Liu Honggradually suddenly felt very lost.

"Why does Youming look unhappy, let's talk to me first!" Chongzhen was surprised to see Liu Hong's mood gradually depressed.

"Does the emperor remember Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Spring, if the emperor is an ordinary person and mistakenly enters it, where the countryside is remote and self-sufficient, you also met the queen mother, and has His Royal Highness the Prince.

But there are no maids, no eunuchs, and even the food has to be cooked by himself, will the emperor want to go back? Liu Hong asked seriously.

"If that's the case, I shouldn't be coming back!" Chongzhen only thought about it for a moment.

He has not had a good life in the past eighteen years, and he has not even enjoyed much happiness with his wife, Queen Zhou, and he has remembered how bitter he has been in his mind for more than ten years.

What if there is no eunuch and palace maid, his wife can weave clothes and cook, and he can also plough......

But where in this world is there any paradise, and there are no ifs.

"The minister understood...... The minister understood......"
