Chapter 3: Millions of Dollars
Kaifeng. Zhu Cihong gently handed a piece of music to Zhang Zhen. After a while, an eagle flew up and flew high to the north. Zhu Cihong looked at the goshawk and chuckled: "The ending, it must be very interesting." ”
Jingshi, Qianqing Palace.
Emperor Chongzhen gently closed a note: "Innovation...... Military system. ”
This is the piece handed over by Zhu Cihong. The content is also very simple, hoping that all the officers and armies in the Kaifeng Campaign will be under the control of Zhu Cihong, establish an effective new military system, and obtain the military power to adapt to changes and respond quickly.
According to the description at the beginning of the recital, Chongzhen quickly calculated the strength of Zhu Cihong's hands. Shandong Town has 6,000 infantry, 2,000 cavalry, 2,000 artillery and countless auxiliaries. Counted, this is an elite unit compared to other Ming soldiers.
In addition, Zhu Cihong will merge nearly 10,000 veterans of the Binghu Dawei Department this time, and tens of thousands of Henan Town officers and troops of Chen Yongfu's Department.
When this is added up, there are 30,000 people in Zhu Cihong's hands.
This strength is not weaker than the Guan Ning army. And how much silver did the Ming Dynasty invest in Liaodong? I'm afraid I can't beat it for tens of millions of taels.
Now, there is another prince protector.
Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen hesitated.
He had been reading this piece for three days. But he still didn't make a decision, and the turmoil inside and outside made him unsettled. Thinking like this, Zhu Youzhen sighed lightly and decided to put away the letter without replying. Instead, Zhu Youzhen opened the next letter handed over by Zhou Yanru from the cabinet.
Above, are the opinions on the handling of Hou Sui, Hou Fangyu, Wu Shijiao, and Liang Bing, who committed crimes for Zhu Cihong in Henan.
"Seize the official and cut the membership!" Zhu Youzhen pondered for a moment and showed a rare smile.
According to Zhu Youzhen's thoughts. These officialdom scum who stopped their precious son from suppressing bandits were eager to kill them all.
Merely. Zhu Youzhen also understood. The officials in the world are inexhaustible, and in a fit of anger, Zhu Youzhen mistakenly killed too many people. A lot of the time. Those who should be killed were not killed, but those who should not be killed were killed in a fit of rage.
Therefore, Zhu Youzhen is very calm now, and it is rare to ignore killing people in this kind of anger. Losing official status and demoting to civilians is also a good punishment.
After all, although these people are blocking the road and have bad intentions, they are even more premeditated to sit down and seize power. But according to the law of the Ming Dynasty. According to the rules of officialdom, this is not a capital crime.
Originally, these things had to be done by Zhu Youzhen himself. Now, Zhou Yanru is as obedient as ever and has not made any trouble to help himself, and Zhu Cihong is already very happy.
Thinking like this, Zhu Youzhen happily finished replying, and then turned to the next book.
He took a special look at the signature and thought it was familiar.
Wu Changshi, the Ministry of Officials Wen Xuan Qing Officials Shi Langzhong. This is also the No. 1 nobleman.
Zhu opened it by the letter inspector. But when I saw it, I was stunned.
"Hengxin Shopping Mall...... Establish a self-established government and set up officials to collect taxes...... Qiming City, almost a country ......"
Syllable!
"Let Zhou Yanru see me!" Zhu Youzhen had a cold face. picked up the letter of Zhu Cihong's reform of the military system again. After a long time, Zhu Youzhen slowly closed his eyes: "The ambition is in the north...... The northern captives, or this northern country...... Capital? ”
In the Qianqing Palace. Wang Chengen looked at Emperor Chongzhen, whose expression had changed in vain, and his heart trembled. Quietly retreated.
A short time later, a beautiful woman walked in.
"Holy ......" Empress Zhou waved her hand to let the eunuchs retreat: "Taste some lotus seed soup and calm down." And also. The children's gifts have been sent to the palace, let the saint go up to see, and don't move, now, the concubines are all on the list, and the saint must have a mind at this time. ”
"Gifts?" Zhu Youzhen sighed lightly, not interested: "Children have filial piety, of course it's good." It's just that in the heavenly home......"
"Why don't you take a look at it first?" Empress Zhou didn't say much, just gently handed over a list.
Zhu Youzhen frowned slightly, not understanding how the always gentle Empress Zhou became so insistent today. However, Queen Zhou, who has never spoken much, insisted so much, and Zhu Youzhen had no reason not to give face, so he stretched out his hand to take it and looked at it.
But just by looking at it, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but mutter: "Silver is ...... One...... A million taels? All in the library? ”
Empress Zhou laughed softly: "Holy Lord, why doesn't Brother Hong understand, why is Your Majesty sad?" Why don't you take a look at it, Brother Hong doesn't want to put this white hair on the saint, and it will increase day by day. ”
At this time, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but think of Zhu Cihong's resolute face and those firm words at that time
"Erchen dreamed that two years later, the rebels attacked the city and fell into the Central Plains, and no one held on the wall of the capital division; I dreamed that three years later, the iron horsemen of the Tartars entered the pass; In Kyushu, there are no more courtiers of the Ming Dynasty; Erchen dreamed that the Manchu Tartars were holding a butcher's knife in one hand and a razor in the other, and the people of the Ming Dynasty were all dressed and disgraced, with their left hair draped, their heads without hair, and the slaughter of cities was not counted. The courtiers dreamed that the courtiers were still arguing and still surrendering to the enemy. The defenders died on the battlefield, and those who stayed behind were all killed. Taizu stood in front of me, and the ancestors and ancestors looked at each other coldly. In this situation, as the Ming royal family, my father ...... How can the sons and daughters live in the deep palace again? In this Ming Dynasty, the soldiers can be surrendered, the generals can be surrendered, the ministers can be surrendered, even the nobles who have received the emperor's favor can also be surrendered, and even the eunuchs of the heavenly family slaves can also be surrendered. But the sons are the royal family of the Ming Dynasty, the prince of the country, and one step back is the road to Huangquan! Father, such a critical situation. Erchen is the son of his father and the prince of the Ming Dynasty. At this time, I don't work hard to relieve my father's worries and calm the chaos in the world. Don't...... Do you really have to wait until the scenes in your dreams to reappear? ”
"This military strategy reform ......" Zhu Youzhen's eyes were extremely complicated, as if he had figured out something, and said softly: "I'm accurate." If this world is not worth this troubled era, how could a smart and capable person like Brother Hong insist on going his own way and embark on the road of suspicion in this world? What a ......."
Thinking like this, Zhu Youzhen replied with a brush.
He didn't notice that a few of the pieces were dropped to the ground in the panic of Fang Cai, and they went to a pile of approved notes, and the pieces spread out, revealing the words line by line.
"Shen Zhichun, the prefect of the Daimyo Mansion, reported that there was no rain in spring, locusts ate wheat, the plague was rampant, five or six out of ten people died, and the year was ...... fierce."
"Shandong Bu Political Envoy reported that the plague was rampant in Qingzhou Mansion and Jinan Mansion......"
"The political envoy of Henan Province reported that the plague in Yangwu County, Kaifeng Prefecture, was a great work, with nineteen dead and countless exterminators. Person. The spring epidemic in Xingyang County, the people died without leaving the house, and there was no one on the road in March......"
"Fu Shuxun of the household department recital. In September, there was a great famine in Quang Binh Province, and people were cannibalistic. In August, Shunde Mansion experienced years of drought, hunger, plague, and countless deaths. Zhending Mansion, Zhengding drought, people hunger, summer plague. Liangxiang County, Shuntian Prefecture, had a plague last year and a great hunger. In the second year of this year, the Great Plague ......"
Shuntian Mansion is where the Jingshi is located. (To be continued.) )
