……

Not long after, Wang Dou and the others changed into civilian clothes and came to Xiyuan Cuihua Garden.

Almost half a year ago, Emperor Chongzhen had a banquet here to invite a cadre to go out to fight the general and the supervising army, counting this garden, Wang Dou has been here many times, but Wu Sangui, Tang Tong, Cao Bianjiao, Wang Tingchen, Liu Zhaoji are all here for the first time, all of them are very excited.

This small banquet is as frugal as in the past, but everyone's minds are obviously not here, to participate in this kind of private banquet of the emperor's family, on behalf of themselves to enter the emperor's heart and close to the core, this is the most important, plus the new Feng Bohou, from Wu Sangui down, all of them are full of spirit and spirit.

Of course, seeing such a simple and rough meal, Wu Sangui, Tang Tong and others were all surprised, His Majesty was so diligent and thrifty, and treated himself badly, Cao Bianjiao, Wang Tingchen, and Liu Zhaoji were even more red, and they regretted it in their hearts.

The atmosphere in the field was still relaxed, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said some words of encouragement, all the new nobles were all Yinghe, only the cabinet and other officials did not look very good, it was Zhou Yanru, the unfathomable cabinet assistant of the city government, who smiled reluctantly.

In front of them, at least they are all earls, according to the etiquette system, the first-class officials have to bow when they see them, and everyone puts aside the status and position of the cabinet members, and the dignity is inferior, and they can no longer call them back and forth as in the past.

Also, Hong Chengchou will also be considered a noble in the future, and it is difficult to say whether he will have the same heart with these civil officials.

With so many uncles, how should they deal with it in the future?

Fortunately, these new princes do not have the strength and mind of Wang Dou, and Yang Guozhu, who is slightly closer to him, is just a pure general. I only hope that among these people, there will not be a second Wang Dou in the future!

After the clamoring of the border army. The face of the senior member in Beijing has been ripped off by Wang Dou, and he has become a laughing stock. In the future, will there be a place for literati to speak? There's no way there's another civil fort, right?

With this in mind, the cabinets and the members of the six ministries were quite silent. In the banquet, only the high-spirited voices of the generals and nobles remained, and listening to their hearty laughter was even more harsh.

Fortunately, Emperor Chongzhen quickly shifted the topic and talked about Liaodong.

At the end of the Jinzhou War, the crisis of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong was alleviated, but the external troubles were still there. The main force of the Qing captives still exists, and perhaps after a period of lurking, they may make a comeback at any time, after all, with the climate and soil of Liaodong, the Tatars do not plunder. They can't survive.

Therefore, the huge supply of grain and salary in Liaodong may still not be stopped, and at most a part of it will be allocated to Jizhen Town or Shanhaiguan Town, and the Ming Dynasty's finances are still tight.

The most important thing is Liaojiao, there are too many interest groups involved in it, and there are strong interest groups, such as the Jin Merchants and the Donglin Party, and those who want to move the interests in the interior don't know how to die, unless they have the ability and tough attitude like Wang Dou.

Looking at the cabinet ministers, who has not benefited from the salary? It's just a matter of how much and how little.

Emperor Chongzhen knew this, and he was powerless to deal with it, so he did not talk about the supply of Liao salary during the banquet, but asked Wu Sangui expectantly, the Liaodong Army, can you hold Jinzhou and Yizhou? You must know that if Liaodong is in danger again, Daming will not have the strength to come to the rescue of several towns again.

Wu Sangui's heart moved, the emperor did not ask about the affairs of Liaodong, and did not ask Liu Zhaoji, the current Liaodong commander-in-chief, but asked himself, could it be that in the future, the position of the Liaodong commander-in-chief would ......

He wanted to make a bold statement, but he just thought about it, but sighed again, although the Tatars suffered a heavy setback, but the main force is still there, and it may be difficult for them to deal with the Jingbian army, so they can just pull out a few flags and deal with their own Ningyuan army, as well as the local soldiers and horses in Liaodong, which is more than enough.

Looking at everyone's colorful eyes, as well as Wang Dou's slow drinking, he finally said sincerely: "Back to the saint, in the opinion of Wei Chen, at the moment, I am Ming, occupy the first line of Yizhou, the grain road is too long, with the nature of the slave in the east, at most a year, they will send troops and horses to harass, the defense of Yizhou, the supply of grain and grass ......"

He gritted his teeth and said: "It's best to return the defense line to Dalinghe Fort, or even Xiaolinghe Fort, and connect Jinzhou and Xiaolinghe to form a line of solidarity and support each other, so that Weichen can be sure to hold the second city." ”

Speaking of this, his heart trembled, he knew that his words would remain in the history books Qingdan, and would be turned out and tasted from time to time in the future, and even become a part of the attack on the crime, abandoning the land and abandoning the city, and giving the fruits of victory to each other, this crime is sometimes fatal.

But think about my uncle Zu Dashou, I don't share the hatred with the Qing Dynasty, for Liaodong, for the Ming Dynasty...... Moreover, he has to be made an earl, which can be said to be a deep favor of the emperor, and he can only tell the truth to repay the holy grace, and in the future, the imperial historian will be impeached and liquidated, and then I will talk about it.

Emperor Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction, Wu Sangui is worthy of being a person who is valued by Hong Chengchou, a heart, that is, a heart to the Ming Dynasty.

What he knew, after Wu Sangui said this, maybe when the crows of the officials and crows would flock again, for them, it would be a very honorable thing to impeach an earl if they could bring it down.

And to tell the truth, with Emperor Chongzhen's eager thoughts, he did not want to hold the line of Yizhou, but at that time, the war needed this kind of victory to recover the old land, and then the victory brought bitter fruits.

Fortunately, it will still take time for the Qing captives to be dispatched, and there will be a buffer for a period of time.

Hong Chengchou coughed lightly, and cast an approving look at Wu Sangui, saying these words requires great courage, which shows that Wu Sangui is really thinking about Daming.

He sighed: "The court set up a speech official to think that it was the eyes and ears, which was originally a rumor, to help the political machine, but he did not think that in the name of words, he took advantage of his personal assumptions, and followed the voice, and his dereliction of duty was even worse than not speaking." At present, the current affairs are difficult, if the official cannot lean on his back, he will be the elbow of the task, and the righteousness of the substitution will be lost, and the minister will ask the Holy Lord to promulgate the constitutional outline to correct the source. ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded slowly: "I will meet with all the members, issue the constitution, and if you violate your duties, you will be punished." ”

He was also very annoyed with these officials, if it weren't for those crows, he wouldn't have the embarrassment he had a few days ago. Even the torch burned on himself, making him even angrier.

Wang Dou, Yang Guozhu. Wang Pu and the others did not have a good impression of the officials, and agreed with the same, only the cabinet members did not seem to hear the words of Wu Sangui, Hong Chengchou and others. On these issues, it is better to say too much than to lose.

But their collective silence. made the atmosphere look weird, and also made Emperor Chongzhen cast a dissatisfied look at them,

Fortunately, Emperor Chongzhen talked about a core issue again, which gave them a place to play.

"Jinzhou won a big victory, the border trouble is a little peaceful, the new army in each town in this battle shows its skills, if you can train the new army tens of thousands. Why worry that the thieves in the east will not be destroyed, and I will train the new army, what do the secretaries think? ”

He looked at everyone eagerly, and Jinzhou's victory made him very inspired. If there are tens of thousands of new troops in the imperial court, the Ming Dynasty is in sight.

Of course, these new armies must be in the hands of the imperial court, and an effective method is to have the imperial court supply food and salaries and arrange personnel.

Otherwise, each side will take care of its own military training, isn't that like Wang Dou, forming warlords one by one? In this way, even if the thieves in the east are wiped out, and in the end, the warlords will divide the territory and fight again and again, and the disaster of the former Tang Dynasty will be a lesson from the past.

He couldn't say this, it depended on what the courtiers said.

Talking about this matter, all the princes in the field except for Wang Dou, all of them have bright eyes, indeed, the new army, now everyone attaches great importance to it, or will pay attention to the fundamental, especially Tang Tong, concentrated, he is worried that there is no food and salary for the training of the new army, if the court can supply it, it is the best.

Chen Xinjia stood up, these days, he was silent a lot, he knew that it was time to stand up and show his worth.

He said: "What the Holy Lord said is very true, the new army, now is the foundation of the combat strength of each town, if there are tens of thousands of people, Jinggi, can be consolidated by the general army, Liaodong and Shanhaiguan, can be stationed in Pingxi Bo and Dong Pingbo, plus Jibei Hou to rectify the defense of Jizhen, in this way, Liaodong, Jizhen are connected into a line, and Dongnu wants to break through the border in the past, it will be very difficult. ”

"And in Xuanzhen and Datong Town, there are Yongning Hou and Dingxingbo protection, nine sides, impregnable, the rest of the new army, can be transferred, go south to suppress thieves!"

Emperor Chongzhen nodded vigorously, Chen Xinjia's words made his heart flutter, if this is the case, the nine sides will be consolidated, and he can deal with the thieves with all his might.

It's just that when Chen Xinjia spoke, Zhou Yanru smiled, and the rest of the cabinet members either sneered or had expressionless faces, and Liu Zhaoji, the chief soldier of Liaodong, moved in his heart, listening to the words of this soldier, could it be that the court discussed and intended to let himself be the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan?

Cao Bianjiao, Wang Tingchen, and Tang Tong are also pondering, could it be that His Majesty intends to let a few of them go south to suppress thieves?

It seems that they have all forgotten about Yongninghou.

They stole a glance at Wang Dou, and saw that he was still drinking slowly, as if he didn't care that he was being forgotten by all parties.

Just when Chen Xinjia was dancing, suddenly Chen Yan, a cabinet member, interjected with sympathy: "The soldier's will is good, but where is the salary for training soldiers?" ”

Chen Xinjia was immediately speechless, but he reacted extremely quickly and said with a smile: "This is the matter of Ni Ge Lao." ”

Emperor Chongzhen immediately looked at the new head of the household department Ni Yuanlu with an anxious and expectant gaze, he broke the ancestral system and took Zhejiang people as officials, hoping that Ni Yuanlu could change the bad financial system, and hoped that Ni Aiqing would not let himself down.

Under the expectant gaze of the emperor, Ni Yuanlu slowly stood up, his appearance was elegant, and his demeanor was quite Jiangnan style.

He saluted and said: "Back to the saint, the current treasury money and grain are exhausted, everywhere in the Ming Dynasty, there are disasters everywhere, natural disasters, plagues, displaced people everywhere, many states and counties, already basically can't collect taxes, many border towns and counties, are also in arrears, if you increase the taxes and miscellaneous taxes, only let the thieves more people, open source has no way to talk about, only throttling, the minister thinks, the new army's discussion, should be slow, and the people recuperate, slowly figure it." ”

Emperor Chongzhen frowned, and the generals and marquis present were also disappointed.

At this time, Chen Yan smiled again and said: "Otherwise, although the north is full of disasters and famines, the lands south of the Yangtze River are still rich, and the minister thinks that the main force of taxation can be placed in the south of the Yangtze River." ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Ni Yuanlu's expression changed, but the new secretary Zheng Sanjun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Fu Shuxun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and even Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, etc., all changed color, and these damn northern officials brought their ideas to Jiangnan, Huguang, and Sichuan.

In particular, Ni Yuanlu, Zheng Sanjun, and Zhou Yanru are all from Jiangnan, a member of the Donglin Party. (To be continued.) )
