Chapter 0066: It's Politics
The easiest thing in the world is to call a beggar to eat!
The grain was transported from the granary to the city tower by the eunuchs, and the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen personally watched the scene of more than 200,000 people waiting to drink porridge, and his eyes couldn't help but moisten, this kind of scene is really rare, he lives in modern times, and has experienced countless difficult moments for the whole country, but even if it is difficult in modern times, it is far from reaching one-tenth of the ancient times! At least I haven't heard of cannibalism after the founding of New China!
200 porridge farms open at the same time! Emperor Chongzhen personally gave porridge to the people! All the people who took the porridge bowl from the emperor's hands knelt down and kowtowed!
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen did not dislike the smell of these people, and resolutely stood among the people, "Everyone has become like this, it is my dereliction of duty!" I can't escape the blame, I am heartbroken! Although you are now living by begging, you are still my Ming people, and I have never seen you as any different from ordinary people! ”
The well-fed people collectively knelt down, "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" ”
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen wiped his tears, he is not acting, this scene makes people can't help but cry, especially in the face of so many unclothed and skinny children! He picked up a thin little boy and kissed the little boy on the face, "People! The food you eat is the imperial grain that was taken out of Ouchi! Now an unprecedented plan is underway in the capital, and I want to wipe out the corrupt officials in the entire Gyeonggi area at once! So as everyone knows, martial law is being imposed in the capital! The only one I can rely on is you! Waiting for the elderly, weak, women and children, as well as those who are not in good health, everyone will go to the back to rest, as long as they can move, I hope that everyone will spontaneously carry stones and wood, and go to the city together to help resist the invasion of the Tartar slaves! When the Jiannu are repulsed, and when the grain from the south arrives, I will allocate a month's rations to everyone first! Arrange a place for everyone to go so that everyone can support themselves! I can starve to death! I can't watch the people of my Ming Dynasty starve to death! I live and die with everyone! ”
These people are the lowest, the poorest! They have no culture, they have no ambitions, they have no pursuits, the only thing they hope for is to be able to eat, and whoever feeds them, they will listen to them! Zhu Youzhen actually knows these beggars better than people like Yuan Keli and Cao Huachun! They have to be fed and they have to work!
Long live the beggars! The emperor who is holding a dirty child is so noble and kind in their eyes! Just for this move of the emperor, even if you are hard-hearted, you can't help but die for him! What's more, it's not just for him, everyone knows the consequences of building a slave Tartar to break the city!
Yuan Keli praised Cao Huachun softly, "Maybe Your Majesty is always right, we are wrong!" ”
Cao Huachun said noncommittally lightly, "The imperial grain has been taken out!" Even if the Jingshi takes out all the grain from the big households and distributes it equally, if the grain is not transported within a month, you can see what the situation will be like when the time comes! It won't be good to be an emperor if he is more violent, but with the kindness of a woman, it is even more terrifying! ”
Yuan Keli glared at Cao Huachun angrily, "Father-in-law Cao! How can you say that? ”
Cao Huachun glanced at Yuan Keli, "Yuan Qingtian, Lord Yuan, there are no outsiders here, our family is not less loyal to Your Majesty than you, our family is telling the truth!" If you don't like to listen, we can't help it! Gyeonggi is not as important as a place, if the palace is out of food, what do you say? ”
Yuan Keli didn't go on with worry, he also admitted that Cao Huachun was telling the truth! Yuan Qingtian is not a fool! There are people in my heart, but I am even more like the emperor! The emperor is indeed very happy to do this, and he can also win people's hearts in the shortest possible time! But it's not the best policy! If a person is hungry, it doesn't matter who is the emperor! When you are full, you must be full!
This time, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen does not need to charge into battle in person, once seventy or eighty thousand people are mobilized! The pressure of defending the city was suddenly reduced a lot! Seventy or eighty thousand beggars throwing bricks and timber down there are no worse than seventy or eighty thousand soldiers!
"Your Majesty! Can't beat it! The little emperor of the Ming Dynasty didn't know where to get so many people at once, and he couldn't attack it at all! Dolgon returned to Huang Taiji's side in disgrace.
Huang Taiji nodded, "I have seen it, it should be that the little emperor has stopped his Jingcha plan!" Our goal has been achieved! Once he mobilizes the people of the entire capital to defend the city, we will not have enough people at all! Prepare your army to retreat! ”
Fan Wencheng said in a sullen voice, "The retreat is to retreat, but the little emperor should not use the people, he uses beggars!" Only this one explanation can explain why so many people are guarding the city at once! He's digging his own grave! ”
Huang Taiji sighed, and nodded suddenly in understanding, "Not bad!" I heard that there was a food shortage in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and to deal with these hungry people, the suppression could not be suppressed, so Zhu Youzhen actually released grain for disaster relief? It is indeed self-defeating! Let's not rush for now, and wait for another five days! Dolgon! You have encamped here with 10,000 men with white flags and white flags! I and the team are waiting for you at Xifengkou! The army will be ready to go tonight! ”
Dorgon wiped the dust from his face and smiled, "Brother takes the order!" This little emperor is indeed stupid! Let the beggars defend the city, and he can figure out how much food more than 200,000 beggars have to eat a day? ”
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen looked at the Huang Taiji army that was being mobilized at the head of the city, and hated itchy, come if you want, leave if you want, when I am the Ming Jingshi is the back garden of your family!
Yuan Keli said in a deep voice, "It seems that Jiannu found that our garrison army had increased sharply, and retreated in the face of difficulties, this is about to withdraw!" With the shrewdness of Huang Taiji and that Fan Wencheng, it is impossible not to see that we have used beggars to help defend the city. ”
Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen secretly said in his heart, these heads of Tartar wild boar skins must be laughing at Lao Tzu stupid in their hearts! I'm stupid, fucking you!
"Cao Huachun, go and spread my will, and bring Man Gui and Lu Xiangsheng to the city to see me!" Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen held his Shang Fang sword in his hand, and his eyes stared at the camp of Emperor Taiji outside the city!
Yuan Keli and Cao Huachun of course understood what the emperor meant, Cao Huachun bowed down and left, Yuan Keli knew that Cao Huachun did not dare to persuade him, he pondered for a while, and still persuaded him bluntly, "The old minister understands that the emperor is looking for Jiannu to fight, but Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan's army don't know where to hide, we only have more than 3,000 people now, and what kind of Jingcha plan is still being made in the city, I am afraid that it is not appropriate to attack at this time, right?" ”
Zhu Youzhen said softly, "There is nothing wrong with it, this is politics!" Look at these beggars, who is in good health and who is not, can you tell the difference? After a while, let's defend the city, and let Man Gui and Lu Xiangsheng each lead more than 40,000 beggars out of the city to fight the remaining Dolgon army! If you really can't do it, you can let them come into the city! Only by using the battlefield to eliminate can you know which beggars can be used! to alleviate food pressure! ”
Yuan Keli's heart was shocked, you are! Didn't you just look like you were worried about the world, and you looked like you would not hesitate to pay a price for the country and the people? The first benevolent monarch of the ages? This is really a person is also an emperor, and a ghost is also an emperor! Is there such a physical examination in the world? Use the battlefield to get a medical check-up?
