Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 415 Sun Chuanting Studying Newspaper Contents

"What are you talking about? What are you talking about? The [-] army was defeated? And it was defeated so thoroughly that even Hong Chengchou was arrested?"

Chongzhen stood in the center of the imperial study room. He pointed to Wu Sangui and his son who were kneeling below, with complex expressions ranging from horror, anger, to disbelief.

His voice trembled a little, and his body began to tremble non-stop.

"5 people were defeated in less than a day, even if [-] pigs were caught by the rebels in Xuanzhen, it would be impossible to catch them all in one day." Chongzhen's chest heaved violently, and he was panting heavily .

At this moment, he only felt that his chest was tight and his head was heavy.

When he finished speaking, his body began to shake violently, as if he was about to faint.

Gao Qiqian next to him hastily supported him, and sat on the chair behind the imperial case.

After Chongzhen sat on the chair, he kept panting heavily.

He seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, and his whole face collapsed.

The 5 horses were put together by the court with great difficulty, and now they are gone like this. How should we deal with Zhao Wen in the future?

Could it be that he just watched him take down Daming Jiangshan step by step?

The 5 people have already spent almost all the money from the internal funds, and now there is no money in the internal funds.

The more Chongzhen thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

He slapped the table hard, and roared angrily: "Waste, incompetent, they are all a bunch of trash, a bunch of trash."

Looking at the furious Chongzhen, Wu Sangui and his son knelt on the ground, pressing their heads tightly against the ground, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

Cold sweat dripped from their bodies, soaking their clothes.

"Tell me again, how did you lose!"

Chongzhen pointed at Wu Sangui and Wu Xiang, his expression twisted and his breath short.

Wu Xiang kowtowed several times, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the weapons of the rebels are really powerful. Their artillery can shoot as far as ten miles. With one shot, there will be no grass within a radius of several tens of feet. If we can’t touch the rebels, we will be killed and injured by the rebels, there is really nothing we can do.”

In fact, when Zhou Laoliu's artillery fired, it didn't fire at a distance of more than ten miles.

The reason why Wu Xiang said this was to expand Zhou Lao Liu's strength, so as to reduce his guilt.

"Ten miles? You fart, do you really think I'm a three-year-old child? What kind of artillery in this world can hit more than ten miles away? Can it go down with one shot, and not a single grass will grow within a few dozen feet? You are farting!"

Chongzhen stood up, and directly cursed Wu Xiang angrily.

As he spoke, Chongzhen picked up the memorial on the table, weighed the paper, and threw the pen container towards Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui.

"Incompetent, incompetent. How could my Ming Dynasty have scum like you? The [-] army disappeared in the blink of an eye. Hong Chengchou was captured, Zu Dashou was captured, and Huguang General Soldier was also captured.

Officers at all levels in the army disappeared, disappeared in battle, died in battle, escaped for their lives, and in the end only you two trash are left?What are you doing back here?Why don't you two fight to the death?Guan Ning cavalry was lost by all of you, do you still have the face to come back? "

In the past, it was absolutely impossible for Chongzhen to insult Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui in such a disregard of face.

After all, these two people are the backbone of the Guan Ning Army, and the Guan Ning Army is the most effective army in the Ming Dynasty.

For generals who hold the power of soldiers and horses in their hands, especially the Guan Ning Army whose army is very privatized, Chongzhen would never insult Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui like this.

When Chongzhen was in Lingchi and Yuan Chonghuan before, Zu Dashou led the Guan Ning army and ran back to Shanhaiguan. At that time, no matter how angry Chongzhen was, he never insulted him like today.

But it's different now, Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui have already lost the Guan Ning army, and now they are just naked, how can Chongzhen be like before?
Chongzhen's blood pressure kept rising because of his anger.He supported his forehead, sat on a chair, pointed at Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui who were kneeling in the hall, and said coldly: "Put them both in prison, and then severely punish the Guanning army who came back with them. Interrogation, I want to see what is the reason for this big defeat, more than 5 people, including the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion sent by me, there is not a single one left, all of them were defeated.

Now that the main force of Bandit Zhao is not in Xuanzhen, I really can't believe that just one partial division can beat my [-] army like this. "

"Your Majesty, you can't. You have to work hard without merit. Think twice, Your Majesty!"

As soon as Wu Xiang heard that Chongzhen was going to put herself in prison, she panicked all of a sudden.

Wu Xiang knew exactly where the Imperial Prison was. When Emperor Tianqi was still in power, Wei Zhongxian built up the Prison. He did not know how many people were locked in the Imperial Prison, and no news was ever heard of.

The cloud of Tianqi years has not completely dissipated, and now he is going to be imprisoned, how can Wu Xiang not panic.

After Wu Sangui heard Chongzhen's voice, he fell limply to the ground with a look of despair.

Chongzhen looked at Wu Xiang coldly, with no expression on his face, "When you enter the Imperial Prison, no one is allowed to come closer."

"His Majesty!!!"

Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui shouted at Chongzhen with mournful expressions.

But Chongzhen was not moved in the slightest, and his face was still gloomy.

"Leadership!"

Gao Qiqian beside him saluted Chongzhen, and then walked out of the imperial study.

Not long after, a group of Dongchang Fanzi and Jinyiwei Xiaowei rushed in, took their arms and walked outside, while Gao Qiqian stayed by Chongzhen's side.

After Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui were taken out, Chongzhen said: "Let the elders of the cabinet and the six ministers come to the imperial study to discuss the matter, and see what to do next!"

For a few quarters of an hour, the elders of the cabinet and the six ministers all stood in the imperial study room.

"Do you know the news of the army's defeat?" Chongzhen looked at these ministers and asked.

These ministers stood in the hall of the imperial study with gloomy faces, and none of them said a word.

When Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui entered the palace, these people already knew the news of the army's defeat.

"Which of you can tell me now, what should I do next? Now that the army is defeated, what should the court do next?" Chongzhen looked at these people with a gloomy face.

These ministers looked at me and you for a while, but they didn't dare to speak.

The entire imperial study room was so silent that no one dared to speak first.

That's right, the [-] army is gone, so it's useless to say more now.The [-] army can't stop Xuanzhen's partial division, so what can these civil servants come up with?
Seeing these ministers who hadn't spoken for a long time, Chongzhen's face gradually turned ferocious.

"Trash, what a bunch of rubbish. Normally, when you impeach others, you can speak better than each other. Now that you are asked to speak, why are you all dumb? Ah? Talk to me, are you dumb?"

Chongzhen walked back and forth after the imperial case, yelling at the minister impatiently.

At this moment, Liang Tingdong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, the most urgent task at present is to quickly mobilize the remaining troops in Liaodong, bring back Sun Chengzong and Sun Ge, and let him sit in the capital to defend against possible attacks by the rebels!" Liang Tingdong said.

After Yuan Chonghuan was Lingchi by Chongzhen, Chongzhen transferred Sun Chengzong to Liaodong.

The Liaodong defense line was set up by Sun Chengzong, and he has some prestige in Liaodong.

Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang were his subordinates before.

When Chongzhen transferred Wu Xiang and Zu Dashou to the capital, Sun Chengzong stayed there in order to guard against Jianlu taking advantage of the situation to attack Shanhaiguan at this time, and Sun Chengzong now has nearly [-] soldiers and horses in his hands.

"Liang Shangshu's words are correct, and I also think that Sun Chengzong and Sun Ge should be transferred back from Shanhaiguan.

Now the white pole soldiers are only seven or eight days away from the capital, and when the two soldiers and horses are combined together, they will definitely be able to protect the safety of the capital! Wen Tiren also hastily agreed.

Unexpectedly, when Chongzhen heard this, not only was he not happy at all, but he sneered, "Hehe, you are really thinking well, to transfer Mr. Sun Ge back?

If Sun Ge is transferred back, should Shanhaiguan still be guarded?Besides, even if Sun Ge is transferred back, can the rebels be stopped?
The rebels wiped out [-] troops in one day, so what's the use of bringing old Sun Ge back? "

"Your Majesty, I think that the rebels will not attack the capital in a short period of time. The current capital is still safe!" Wen Tiren thought for a moment before speaking.

"Hehe, you're not a rebel, how do you know you won't attack the capital?" Chongzhen directly turned back.

"Okay, you guys go down first. Pass on my will, and hold a grand meeting tomorrow. After you go back today, you will show me a charter to see how to deal with the current situation."

Chongzhen pointed to these officials and said with a helpless face.

.........

At the same time, in a tavern in the outer city of Beijing, a middle-aged scholar wearing a black round-neck shirt and a square flat crown was sitting in a private room on the second floor of the tavern having lunch.

"Master, just now came the news that the [-] army led by Hong Chengchou to wipe out the rebels was defeated, and there was no one left. Only Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui and his son escaped back."

At this moment, a middle-aged man who was about his age and dressed in sackcloth ran in from outside.

The people who ate were none other than Sun Chuanting who was in Daizhou City before.

Sun Chuanting looked at the housekeeper who hurried in, put down the chopsticks in his hand, "Oh, this is not what I expected!"

"How did the master see it?" the butler asked.

Sun Chuanting shook his head and heaved a sigh of relief, "When the rebels attacked Daizhou City, I still remember that scene vividly.

These rebels are not comparable to those of the Jianluliu thieves. No matter how powerful the Jianluliu thieves are, the weapons they use are similar to ours. Even if we lose, at least we have the ability to fight back.

If it doesn't work, you can win by numbers.But what about Zhao Wen?Even if the imperial court sends an army of 50 or [-], it is estimated that they will not be able to defeat him.No matter how many people the court sent out, under the artillery bombardment of the rebels, no matter how powerful the army was, it would collapse.

Zhao Wen, you can't judge it with common sense! "

"My lord, isn't there anyone in the Ming Dynasty who can control Bandit Zhao? Our Ming Dynasty has lasted for nearly 300 years, is it possible that it will be gone now?" The housekeeper looked at Sun Chuanting anxiously.

Sun Chuanting said: "If the court doesn't change its current mentality, I'm afraid it won't win at all.

Now Zhao thief is attacking Shanxi, and Shanxi is about to fall into Zhao thief's hands.

After taking Shanxi, Zhao thief's strength will definitely increase greatly. "

The housekeeper asked: "Then what should we do? What should the court do? Could it be that we just watched the Zhao thief break through the capital? People are dying?"

"If you want to deal with Bandit Zhao, you need to reform. You need to carefully study how Bandit Zhao got to this point, and how he managed a poor Xuan Town so prosperously that he can deal with the entire imperial court with a single town.

If these things are not clarified, the imperial court has no possibility of winning at all. The only way to figure out how Zhao Thief grew up to this point is to make reforms to Daming based on Zhao Thief's growth experience.

Only in this way can Daming be prosperous, and only in this way can Bandit Zhao be eliminated. Otherwise, it would be impossible to eliminate Bandit Zhao. After Sun Chuanting finished speaking, he looked at the housekeeper again, "Bring me all the newspapers I have accumulated. I want to study them carefully and see if I can find some clues about the rise of Thief Zhao from these newspapers." "

Although it is impossible for the Daming Newspaper founded by Zhao Wen to be published in all the cities of Daming, Shanxi Town is not far from Xuanzhen, so Shanxi Town is also within the distribution range of Daming Newspapers.

Although the officials in Shanxi Town are very repulsive to the Da Ming Pao and often shut down the Da Ming Pao, after all, the distance between the two is not far, no matter how these officials ban it, some Da Ming Pao will always be circulated.

The contents of the newspaper are not only about criticizing the gentry, but also explaining some policies about Xuanzhen, as well as information about job recruitment and people's livelihood, as well as some big and small things that happened in Xuanzhen.

For many gentry, these contents in the Ming Dynasty newspapers were just regarded as jokes, and they never had a deep understanding of them, and they were unwilling to understand them in depth.

The fact that other gentry are unwilling to delve into it does not mean that everyone is unwilling to delve into it. Sun Chuanting usually likes to read Da Ming Pao. Almost every issue of Da Ming Pao will try his best to get it in his hands, and it will also be stored. There is always time to study.

Although Sun Chuanting has never been to Xuanzhen, nor has he had any contact with Xuanzhen, but as the business of the factory in Xuanzhen continues to grow, people in Shanxi Town continue to go to Xuanzhen to do business, so Sun Chuanting is more or less Can inquire about some news from other people's mouths.

Moreover, Xuan Town is closely connected to Shanxi Town, and Sun Chuanting has heard many things about Xuan Town.

Sun Chuanting believes that he can definitely crack the secret of Xuanzhen's rise by relying on the content in the newspaper and his previous understanding of Xuanzhen.

Not long after, the housekeeper came to Sun Chuanting with a cloth bag.
