After listening to Emperor Chongzhen's words, Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, was the first to hold a white wat board, and said: "Your Majesty, the giant thief in Shaanxi is very arrogant, and the former governor of the three sides, Lord Hong, died tragically in his hands, how can he not be killed by such a thief!"

This matter has been delayed for a long time, and now the Tartar slaves outside the gate do not dare to offend my Ming Dynasty for a while, and the time is ripe to suppress the thieves, and the minister thinks that the imperial court should immediately send troops to suppress the thieves, in order to show the power of the imperial court, in this way, I can be as stable as a rock, inherent in ten thousand years! ”

The current Shoufu is no longer the former Han Yi, it is also sad, within a year, the imperial court has changed four Shoufu, after Han Yi leaves, it is Li Biao, after Li Biao leaves, and then it is the foundation of the life, they are all begging bones (suing the old man and returning to his hometown), and then this is his turn Zhou Yanru.

The imperial court, as the highest power center of a country, is the head of this center, such an important position, it turns out that it has changed four terms a year, which is called how to implement the court policy smoothly, and it is strange that the world is not chaotic!

"What Lord Zhou said is reasonable, the imperial court immediately sent troops to suppress the thieves, and the head of the thief is correct!"

"It's extreme, it's extreme, a little thief, as soon as the 100,000 heavenly soldiers arrive, they will be beheaded immediately and turned into powder!" ，，，

As soon as Zhou Yanru finished speaking, many officials went out to sing one after another, and they all agreed to send troops immediately.

It was Qian Qianyi, who had always been at odds with Zhou Yanru, who also came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers also agree, that thief has no king, no father, no impermanence, just like a beast!" If the imperial court does not send troops to exterminate it, how can it deter Xiaoxiao! Why advocate the world! ”

"Yes, yes, Lord Qian is reasonable, the court immediately sent troops to suppress the thieves!"

"Lord Qian's words are very true, the trouble of thieves will not be eliminated for a day, and the Ming Dynasty will not be peaceful for a day, and the emperor will be asked to send troops immediately!" ，，，

Qian Qianyi, as the leader of Shilin and the boss of the Donglin Party, when he opened his mouth, most of the officials immediately sang in unison.

It is rare for a group of officials to agree on one thing in unison, and you must know that no matter what it was before, regardless of whether it was done or not, these officials had to argue first, as if they could not show their ability if they did not fight.

Among these people, only the household secretary Bi Ziyan frowned, he was in charge of the court's money bag, this war is money, now at such a time, how can he not frown!

But what can you do in a hurry, the giant thief is getting bigger and bigger, and it won't work if you don't suppress it!

Emperor Chongzhen was very happy to see all the officials working together, it seems that in the face of major rights and wrongs, these people still put state affairs first!

Since no one among the officials spoke out against it, Emperor Chongzhen naturally decided to send troops to suppress the thieves, after all, this was also his own plan.

So Emperor Chongzhen asked Bi Ziyan: "Bi Aiqing, this time I sent troops to suppress thieves, and I used soldiers and horses to be around 100,000, according to Aiqing, how much money and food was consumed?" Is the treasury sufficient? ”

Bi Ziyan had already calculated in his heart, he had been the secretary of the household department for many years, and he was familiar with these things.

I saw Bi Ziyan go out of class and replied: "Back to the emperor, 100,000 troops will go to Shaanxi to suppress thieves, and the period of three months will be around 80,000 stone for food and 2 million taels for silver."

Although the treasury is struggling now, the minister also knows that this matter is indispensable, so please rest assured that the emperor will do his best to prepare the grain and grass needed for the emperor! ”

Emperor Chongzhen was overjoyed, this Bi Ziyan was the head of the household, he said this, that is, there is no problem with money and food, and this matter is done!

Just when Emperor Chongzhen thought that this matter would be implemented smoothly, but he didn't want to be on the same issue, the court officials were caught in a battle between open and secret.

This question is the question of the choice of the commander of the army!

When Emperor Chongzhen asked the officials who could be the commander of the army, Bi Ziyan was the first to stand up and answer.

I only heard Bi Ziyan say: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this time he sent troops to recruit and suppress thieves, and the commander is none other than Sun Chengzong and Sun Gelao!" ”

It's no wonder that Bi Ziyan was the first to stand up and recommend candidates, but the current Ming can't stand the toss!

If an incompetent commander is sent over, the war against the thieves will inevitably fail, and not only will the soldiers lose their lives in vain, but countless money and food will also be lost!

At that time, with the current financial situation of the Ming Dynasty, where could we organize a second crackdown on thieves!

At this time, only Sun Chengzong is the most suitable candidate, Sun Chengzong, to have qualifications, prestige, ability and ability, throughout the Ming Dynasty, no one can match, no one uses him, who to use!

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but nod, and he also agreed in his heart.

He knew Sun Chengzong's ability, if the imperial brother hadn't used Sun Chengzong back then, the situation in Liaodong would have been out of control, where would there be the Guanning defense line today!

In the second year of Chongzhen, the Tatar slaves entered the customs, and the soldiers arrived in Beijing, the situation was extremely critical, if it were not for Sun Chengzong, who defeated the Tartars in one fell swoop, then I don't know where the situation is going to develop!

Just when Emperor Chongzhen was about to decide to use Sun Chengzong again, he only heard Zhou Yanru come out of the class and say: "Emperor Qiqi, the minister thinks that Sun Ge Lao cannot be the commander of the army!" ”

"Oh!"

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but let out an "oh" and asked, "Why did Aiqing say this?" ”

"Back to the emperor, Sun Ge's old age is high, Shaanxi is mountainous, mountains and ravines, all the way, bumpy and bitter, even young people are unbearable, if Sun Ge Lao has an accident on the road, it will be a major blow to the morale of the army. That's one of them!

In addition, Sun Ge Lao ran Liaodong back then, and no one was better than the military in Liaodong, and the generals of various departments in Liaodong were also convinced by him and were willing to listen to his dispatch.

However, this time the bandits were suppressed in Shaanxi, and most of the troops recruited were from Datong, Yansui, Guyuan, and Gansu military towns. That's the second one!

Third, although the Tartar slaves outside the gate did not dare to offend my Ming Dynasty for a while, but they are still there after all, if Sun Ge Lao is the commander, the Tartar slaves take advantage of our army to conquer the bandits, and once again repeat the story of Chongzhen's second year, the consequences are unimaginable! ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Yanru made an excited appearance for the country and the people, and finally said to Emperor Chongzhen: "For my Ming Dynasty and society, please think twice!" ”

As soon as Zhou Yanru finished saying this, there were immediately officials who supported him who stood up and echoed.

"Yes, this matter is not trivial, please think twice about it!"

"Lord Zhou is reasonable, although Sun Ge is highly respected, but he is not forgiving at this time, he is already at an advanced age, how to trek thousands of mountains and rivers, please think twice!"
