Chapter 659: Chaos
Qian Qianyi and Dong Qichang were exiled to the frontier, all the officials involved in the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry were also released, above the court, all the people understood the consequences of Zhu Jie's anger, and they were merciless, Qian Qianyi was an important minister of the court, and his prestige was great, almost no one could beat him, and he was killed by Zhu Jie without hesitation, if it wasn't for Jiang Dejing's intercession, I am afraid that it would not only be so cheap to give death.
In any case, don't hit the muzzle of the gun again, it's really not a joke, the emperor is really ruthless when he deals with corrupt officials and corrupt officials!
In more than 10 days, Shandong's money and grain were successively released back to Nanjing, and the officials of the DPRK and China deposited the silver used to subscribe for equity into Yongxing Bank, and a cart of silver was endless, and for more than 10 days, more than 200 men of Yongxing Bank were tired to death just by moving silver every day, and Yongxing Bank's wallet was once again bulging.
Of course, this is not the most inspiring thing, the most inspiring thing is Qin Mufeng's successive battles in Shandong, when the heads of Fang Dayou and Liu Zeqing hung above the head of Nanjing City, all the people in Nanjing City breathed a long sigh of relief in their hearts, fortunately, the war ahead is far from being as bad as those nobles preached, if they lose in a series of battles, it is impossible to cut off the heads of these two rebel thieves......
In the past ten days, Qin Mufeng even waved his troops eastward, directly took Tai'an Mansion, occupied the land of the three provinces of Shandong, stabilized the situation in the entire Shandong, and formed a confrontation with the Qing army of the Daimyo Mansion, recovering the lost territory, which was tantamount to giving the subjects a shot in the arm!
Since Nanjing City has peace of mind, what are you afraid of, not to mention, there are so many powerful officials who send batches of silver to Yongxing Bank, these officials are not afraid of losses, what are we ordinary people afraid of? Save the money, at least you can get a lot of interest at the end of each year!
In ten days, Yongxing Bank not only restored the original amount of deposited silver, but also increased by six or seven percent compared with before, exceeding 30 million taels.
However, the situation has only been stable for a few days, and there have been huge changes, and the war situation in the Central Plains has made waves again!
In the afternoon, Gao Jie hurried to the Qianqing Palace and asked for an audience.
Zhu Jie sent Gao Jie into the south study and asked, "Gao Jie, what urgent official business is there?" ”
Gao Jie said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the battle situation in the north has changed again!" ”
"Oh?"
Zhu Jie frowned and asked, "What change?" ”
Gao Jie replied: "Your Majesty, in order to resolve the current situation of Xu Yifan and Qin Mufeng attacking the main force of the Qing army of Duoduo, Dolgon of Beijing City has changed the original plan of sending troops, and the Western Route Army of Prince Zhuang Jierharang has given up the plan to march to Shanxi and began to assault due south, and in a few days, it will cross the Yellow River and march into western Henan!" ”
"Huh?"
Zhu Jie's heart was shocked, he walked quickly to the wall, stretched out his hand to open the curtain, and a military map of the Central Plains appeared in front of the two people.
"Where is the Qing army on the western road of Zilharang now?"
Gao Jie said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Jierharang led the Qing army on the West Road all the way south, defeated the Ming army stationed in Shanxi, as early as half a month ago, it had taken Taiyuan Mansion, and now it has arrived at the southern end of Pingyang Mansion, and then it will arrive in Shaanzhou, from Shaanzhou into western Henan, the minister thought that Jierharang would definitely cross the Yellow River from Shaanzhou, enter Henan in one fell swoop, and then advance all the way east along the Yellow River, take Luoyang Mansion, and directly approach Kaifeng Mansion, cutting off the back road of our Tianwei Army in one fell swoop, Form a situation of entrapment against the Tianwei army, in this way, Ji'er Harang, Xu Yifan, Duoduo, plus Qin Mufeng, the four forces are staggered in the Central Plains, and the whole situation will be complicated......"
Zhu Jie was silent, pondering the next countermeasure, I have to say that now the strength and combat power of the Qing army still exceed that of the Ming army, and this battle is not so easy to fight.
"Your Majesty, the elite of Manchuria with three banners under the command of Jierharang, and the eight banners of the Han army of Zu Dashou and Zu Kuan, and in the past two months, Jierharang has also incorporated more than 20,000 Ming troops in Shaanxi, with more than 100,000 troops, plus Duoduo's 100,000 troops, and now 200,000 troops have gathered, all of which are elite in a hundred battles, so that Xu Yifan is facing great pressure in Weihui Mansion, only relying on the only tens of thousands of troops now, it is difficult for Yifan to resist the ...... of two strong armies."
Gao Jie was a little anxious and said urgently.
"What about Li Dingguo? Where are Li Dingguo's troops stationed now? ”
"Your Majesty, now Li Dingguo's troops are gathered in the area of Xing'an Prefecture in Shaanxi, adjacent to Sichuan and Hubei, just to be able to prevent Zhang Xianzhong's Great Western Army from suddenly going north to Shaanxi or east to Huguang at any time, so as to make timely countermeasures......
Gao Jie replied.
"Now Zhang Xianzhong is only afraid that he doesn't have the courage to suddenly go north at this time, Sichuan is far away from the Central Plains, the news can't spread so fast, and the road to Shu is difficult, compared to him will not take a huge risk to go north into Shaanxi, as for the east, there is Huang Degong's Luzhou town in the east to garrison in Wuchang, even if he wants to go east, for a moment and a half, he can't help Huang Degong, who has good combat power, and now Li Dingguo has no need to spend it in Xing'an Prefecture, pass the decree, six hundred miles to expeditious, and transfer Li Dingguo's fourth town to move north to Henan immediately, Go straight to Luoyang and find a way to intercept the Qing army west of Luoyang! ”
Zhu Jie said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's too late, although Li Dingguo's troops are numerous, but most of them are infantry, the distance from Xing'an Prefecture to Luoyang is nearly a thousand miles, there is no half a month, it is absolutely impossible to reach Luoyang, but the Qing army is only five hundred miles away from Luoyang, and it is not all the elite cavalry, if you really want to take Luoyang, you only need to mobilize the elite of a banner, and the long-distance attack, Luoyang City is definitely undefinable......"
Gao Jie's face was a little ugly, Li Dingguo's distance was too far away, and the whip was beyond his reach!
Zhu Jie's face was also a little solemn, and he said slowly: "Even if the whip is out of reach, Li Dingguo must be transferred, the advantage of the Qing army's strength is too great, Xu Yifan is facing the front and rear attacks, absolutely unbearable, once he retreats to Kaifeng Mansion, he will be far away from Qin Mufeng, and it will be the same trouble at that time, only Li Dingguo's army can pounce on it, in order to contain the Qing army's footsteps to continue to advance eastward, and order Shu Xinchen to lead Nanjing Zuozhen and the musket battalion, all north, through the canal at full speed north, straight to Kaifeng Mansion, half a month, Then give Shu Xinchen half a month, and he must arrive at Kaifeng Mansion! ”
