Gao Jie glanced at Zhu Jie in surprise, okay, this kid really dares to think about it, but the idea of robbing the thief's food is really good, it is much better than robbing the people!

"It's just that, General Zhu, if you want to rob Li Zicheng, it's not that easy, you also said that Li Zicheng has 300,000 troops, far better than us, how to rob it?"

Zhu Jie smiled and said: "Master Inspector, you are testing me, Li Zicheng has 300,000 troops, but the elite division is only more than 100,000, and the rest are just the homeless people and thieves they are hostage, they can be used as cannon fodder, and they can't play a big role in a tough battle, and their army needs to be closed separately to protect the state capital, and there are definitely not so many mobile troops, on the contrary, at this time, we only need to concentrate our forces, one by one, clean up one, clean up one, That's enough for us to eat for half a month and a month......"

"Good, good!"

Sun Chuanting was overjoyed, as a commander, as a scholar who read poetry and books, although Sun Chuanting was both civil and military, however, such a method of rooster and dog thieves was something he was not good at, and he disdained to do it, but when Zhu Jie brought it up, Sun Chuanting praised it greatly, on the battlefield, you live and die, you are going to do everything, this point, Zhu Jie is better than himself.

"Gao Jie, summon all the above generals of the battalion to the commander's tent! Let's introduce the new generals, brothers! ”

Gao Jie hurriedly went out to pass the order, Sun Chuanting turned around and said with a smile: "General Zhu, since you are willing to stay, it is your own family, and now that the court is worried about internal and external troubles, it is necessary to help the world like you." ”

Zhu Jie smiled and said: "What the Inspector said is that over the years, I have been living in the rivers and lakes with my ancestors, and I have seen it really, not to mention anything else, which time the Qing army entered the Kou, wasn't our Ming Dynasty shattered and its vitality greatly damaged?" There is also this Li Zicheng, attacking Luoyang, the people of Luoyang died six or seven, attacking Kaifeng, Kaifeng turned into a country, the city was destroyed, it was really embarrassing......"

Sun Chuanting smiled bitterly: "Dissatisfied with the general, now, the burden on the governor is too heavy, so that the governor is out of breath, back then, Lu Inspector and Hong Governor were in Japan, the Ming Dynasty at least can resist the Tartars outside, and suppress the rogue inside, but now, the famous generals of the Ming Dynasty have withered away, but the emperor is still an acute son, my Qin army has just been recruited for only a year, and before the army has been formed, he was forced to the front line. ”

Zhu Jie shook his head and replied, "Master Inspector, I have to say that you are too confident, even if you are given two years, it will be difficult for you to reverse the current crisis in the imperial court......"

Sun Chuanting was stunned for a moment and asked, "No, although the thieves are powerful, I think as long as I have enough troops and supplies, it will not be a problem to defeat them......

Zhu Jie asked rhetorically: "Master Inspector, do you still think that the crux of the current internal and external troubles in the imperial court is military?" Was Lu Xiangsheng's ability insufficient, or was Hong Chengchou's strength insufficient? Even from afar, there are Yuan Chonghuan and Sun Chengzong at the beginning, which one is not a well-known figure? Even Yang Sichang had two hits, why were they all defeated? Do you think you're better than all of them? ”

Sun Chuanting was speechless for a while, Zhu Jie was right, maybe he was stronger than Yang Sichang, and he was not worse than Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan, but compared with Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou, he didn't have that confidence, these people were defeated one by one, and he would be able to turn the tide? The answer, of course, is no, but apart from that, what is the problem? Could it be that the Ming Dynasty is really hopeless?

"General Zhu, may I ask, what is the crux of the problem now?"

Sun Chuanting asked.

Zhu Jie stretched out a finger and replied: "First, the imperial court's financial resources are exhausted, and there is not enough financial resources, whether it is to quell the rebellion or to resist the insult, it is not enough, and if you don't change the current situation of the treasury, no matter how capable you are, if you don't have military pay, that soldier will follow you to play with your life?" ”

Sun Chuanting didn't answer and continued to look at Zhu Jie.

Zhu Jie stretched out his second finger and replied: "Second, the Central Plains has been suffering from famine for many years, and the imperial court has not provided relief to the victims, nor has it built water conservancy to recuperate, but has continued to increase the endowment, and the people have no way to live, can they not rebel?" Even if you exterminate Li Zicheng, there will still be Wang Zicheng and Zhang Zicheng who will come out of ......"

"Thirdly,"

Zhu Jie continued: "Now the emperor is too indulgent to the court's ministers and nobles, allowing these people to intrigue and fight, and the corpses are vegetarian, but there are few who have the courage to do anything, to put it mildly, they are not even as good as that Wei Zhongxian, at least Wei Zhongxian can still save some money and food for the court, can you expect a group of pigs to lead the court against Li Zicheng and Huang Taiji's tiger and wolf army?" ”

As Zhu Jie's views kept popping up, Sun Chuanting's face became darker and darker, and his mood became more and more depressed.

"Fourth,"

Zhu Jie continued: "Although the emperor is diligent and loves the people, he is impermanent, changing the order every day, and at the same time he has no real determination and courage to innovate, which is the most helpless......

Sun Chuanting finally couldn't listen anymore: "General Zhu, I admit that what you said is reasonable, however, although the emperor has some mistakes, it is not something that we courtiers can blame, be careful of causing death!" ”

"Haha,"

Zhu Jie laughed and said, "Master Inspector, is it that a few years of imprisonment have smoothed out the sharpness and edges and corners on your body?" This is not the powerful Inspector Sun in my impression......"

Sun Chuanting's face turned red and sighed: "What if you don't smooth it out?" Lu Xiangsheng's edges and corners were not smoothed, and in the end, he was not framed by someone and finally died on the battlefield? Yuan Chonghuan's edges and corners have not been smoothed, and in the end, it is not Wan Ling Chi? My edges and corners have not been smoothed, and the ending is the best, but I have been locked up in prison for two or three years, and the ideal will be overturned by reality step by step after all......"

Zhu Jie's face was straight, and he replied: "Master Inspector, that's you, you are all from Jinshi, you are all full of poetry and books, and you don't care about the calculations and conspiracies behind them, I'm different, Kong Lao Er has little to do with me, I don't care about these faces, as long as you can let the people live a good life, even if you play some conspiracies?" Whoever wants to deal with me, then ten times back! Only by keeping yourself can you keep the current country, isn't it? ”
