please make me king

Chapter 901
"Qizou Your Majesty, the new minister of the Ministry of War, Yang Sichang, is here to pay his respects!" Wang Chengen reported respectfully.

"Oh? Please hurry up!" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help showing his face with a bitter face.

Although Jin temporarily stopped his offensive efforts these days, the thieves spread across Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Henan provinces and corrupted the north.

Liu Chang kept impeaching Zhang Fengyi, the former Minister of the Ministry of War, and failed to plan, and lost the prefecture and county, so that the Shun bandits occupied Heluo, Nanyang and Ruzhou, and gradually grew stronger.

At the beginning, Chongzhen didn't take it seriously.The daily life of these courtiers is either you criticize me or I criticize you, he has long been used to it.

It's just that Zhang Fengyi's plan to wipe out the "shun thieves" all ended in bankruptcy, which also aroused Emperor Chongzhen's dissatisfaction.

It just so happened that Liu Chang claimed that "Zhang Fengyi, Minister of the Ministry of War, pushed Chen Zhuangyou, the commander in chief, and accepted heavy bribes from him", and the two sides had a quarrel.

Emperor Chongzhen simply demoted Liu Chang and transferred Zhang Fengyi to serve as Governor of Xuanda, and Yang Sichang, the former Governor of Xuanda, was transferred to be Minister of the Ministry of War.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian was appointed in danger. Since he ascended the throne at the age of seventeen, he has been worrying about the Tartars outside the pass and the bandits inside the pass.

However, it is hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. Daming is at the end of the dynasty, just like an old man.To act slowly and with difficulty.

Zhu Youjian is full of enthusiasm, facing the chaotic political situation, he has no clue, but it is difficult to express his ambition.

He desperately needs a capable general to assist him.

Among them, Yang Sichang was one of his carefully selected assistants.

Yang Sichang was a Jinshi in the [-]th year of Wanli. He successively served as the head of the household department, Yuanwai Lang, doctor, and new salary department doctor.

Later, after claiming that he was ill, he began to pay attention to side affairs, and compiled his experience of participating in financial management in the Ministry of Households into [-] volumes of "District Official Collection".

Before Chongzhen ascended the throne, he just read this book and admired his talent quite a lot.

After he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he successively practiced his patrols on Ruzhou Road and Bazhou Road, rectified the roads for the internal supervision of soldiers and soldiers in Shanhaiguan, and the governor of Shan (customs), Yong (Pingfu) and other places. The local admiral of military affairs and the right servant of the Ministry of War and the governor of the three towns in Xuanda Shanxi.

Even Yang He, Yang Sichang's father, failed to appease Shen Yikui during his tenure as the governor of Shaanxi Province, and was sentenced to death in prison according to the law.

Chongzhen, who had always been mean, also pardoned his crimes at the request of Yang Sichang, and replaced him with Yuanzhou, Jiangxi.

Now that Yang Sichang has experienced and practiced well, although there are still some shortcomings, it is just that the situation is critical, so he cannot help him to practice carefully.

Yang Sichang was nearly fifty years old, just in his prime.He was chubby and chubby after eating, but unfortunately he has gone through a lot of wind and frost, but he is much darker.

The fat black man came to the front of the hall, hurried forward a few steps, kowtowed and said: "Yang Sichang is so grateful to see God's grace, long live my emperor!"

"Aiqing is alive! Don't say long live, I was young, and my temples are already gray, and I look like an old man!" Zhu Youjian, the Ninth Five-Year Venerable, couldn't help feeling.

"If the ministers use their lives, the monarch and ministers will be united, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. How can I be exhausted and exhausted?"

"Death crime, death crime, I wish I could share the worries of the Holy One!" Yang Sichang was about to stand up, but he couldn't help but knelt down to plead guilty.

"Don't do your business, Aiqing, hurry up and get up!" Chongzhen quickly stepped forward to help him up with his own hands, and greeted him, "The wind and sand in the border area is quite strong, Aiqing is tired, and she has lost a lot of weight!"

"It is the duty of a minister to share the worries of the Lord, and I dare not say I am tired!" Yang Sichang said honestly.

The two exchanged some polite words, Zhu Youjian couldn't help asking impatiently: "Nowadays there are Tartars in the north, thieves inside, disturbance inside and outside, boiling inside the sea, what can we do?"

"I've heard the ancients say: If you are not a good look, you are a good doctor. It's justified."

"The situation in the world is like a human body. The capital is the leader, Xuanda Jiliao is the arm, and the Central Plains is the heart."

"The current situation is that the flames of war appear outside the shoulders and arms, and it is very urgent to take advantage of it; the troubles of the bandits are deep in the heart."

"External aggression can't be slowed down, and internal troubles can't be ignored, because it poisons the abdomen. If you let the "abdominal heart poison, the viscera will be ulcerated, and the essence and blood will dry up every day." "

The Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help being terrified, and hurriedly asked for advice: "Mr.'s words hit the nail on the head! I want to revive, drive out the unruly people, and restore the world's stability. I don't know how to deal with it?"

Yang Sichang had already completed the manuscript in his chest, and immediately responded loudly after hearing the words: "I have three strategies to offer to Your Majesty!"

"Sir, please speak!" Chongzhen was refreshed when he heard the words, and quickly sat upright and listened attentively.

"One said: To fight against the outside world, you must first settle down inside. If you are a captive, you will suffer from heart disease; if you are a thief, you will be worried."

"Since ancient times, the ringworm of heart disease has not been feared, and the worry of the heart is a matter of life and death."

"My husband's empress, Jin Liguo, has already lived for the second time. It is not a day's work that can be cut off; and the bandits have occupied Heluo for less than a year. When it is not stable, send a large army to wipe it out in one fell swoop, so as not to make it difficult to control it!"

"Therefore, I suggest to Your Majesty, when the North and the Houjin are in order to stabilize their minds; concentrate on concentrating their forces, and wipe out the thieves in one fell swoop!"

"Oh?" Chongzhen's face changed when he heard the words, and he said with displeasure, "The Tartars killed my people and officials, occupied my land, and plundered my property. This worry is irreconcilable, and there is no talk of peace!"

"Focus on the matter urgently!" Yang Sichang, the new minister of the Ministry of War, hurriedly comforted him after hearing the words.

"When the thieves are destroyed, it is time to start war against the Tartars!"

When Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but frowned and said, "Then you continue!"

"Yes, on the second day: Enough food and then enough soldiers. Now that the imperial court has insufficient food and pay, even though there are elite soldiers and powerful generals, it is difficult to wipe out all the thieves."

"When the food is exhausted, the officers and soldiers have no choice but to retreat. It is really a strange thing!"

"The minister proposed to select and train [-] elite soldiers, including [-] infantry and [-] cavalry, which are enough to deal with the troubles of bandits and Tartars."

"Fei Jiangan?" You said it well, where did the money come from?

Chongzhen is not a fool. Didn't he know that he should select and train elite soldiers to deal with the Tartar bandits?

What to do is not the question, the question is how to do it.

"The minister proposes to increase the salary by [-] million taels of silver, which will be planned from four places: Junshu, Yidi, the case of sending students to the prison, and post delivery."

"If it's not enough, so what?" Chongzhen's eyes lit up, as if he saw a glimmer of hope.

"Follow the rules of imperial Japanese and imperial captives, and then send additional 'suppression wages' and 'training wages'!" Yang Sichang resolutely said.

"This... will the people be taxed too much?" Chongzhen hesitated for a moment. Although he was determined to be the king of Yao and Shun at the beginning, his situation was stronger than others, and he resumed the "Liao pay" increase shortly after he became the throne.

Now that he heard that Yang Sichang wanted to pay more money, he hesitated a bit.

"At this point, I have no choice but to suffer for the common people!" Yang Sichang also sighed, "I am dedicated to serving the public, and the common people in the world will understand His Majesty's difficulties!"
