Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 27
It was noon, and Chongzhen was enjoying his own lunch after he finished processing the memorials handed over from various places. Wang Chengen was standing beside him, with one arm still hung in front of his chest by a bandage, showing the imprint left by the Beijing city defense battle. .

Not only was Wang Chengen injured on his left arm, but he was also shot by an arrow in his leg. The wound is still painful, but there is something more painful than the wound, so he had to report to Chongzhen with a limp.

During the battle of guarding the capital, there were 2 officers and soldiers in the Beijing camp who survived the plague. In two guard battles, only less than [-] were able to stand alive on the city wall.

There is nothing wrong with soldiers protecting their homes and defending the country, but not only have these soldiers not received any military pay for half a year, now they even have no food to eat, and most of the soldiers are still wounded. The pain is unbearable.

Wang Cheng'en couldn't bear it. Although he knew that the treasury had no money left, he still came.

So before, Wang Chengen sighed alone, but now, there are two people.

A plate of tofu with green vegetables and a plate of vinegared cabbage, this is the lunch of a Ming emperor. Chongzhen picked up the two small dishes in front of him, but it was also tasteless.

At this moment, the eunuch informed that An Guobo Liu Hongjian had an audience.

Liu Hongjian was still waiting to kneel down to salute, Chongzhen waved his hand directly to let Liu Hongjian sit down and talk about things.

Seeing Wang Chengen and Chongzhen's frowns, Liu Hongjian asked Chongzhen to speak first.

Chongzhen did not procrastinate, picked up the wine glass and drank it down, and then explained to Liu Hongjian the hardships of the Beijing camp. After speaking, he sighed and whispered that he was incompetent and made the soldiers who followed him suffer.

After hearing this, Liu Hongjian comforted Chongzhen and said that he was here to send money to the emperor. After speaking, he motioned Chongzhen to back away, and then took off the burden behind him and handed it to Chongzhen.

Liu Hongjian was not polite, poured himself a glass of wine, and launched a frantic attack on Chongzhen's lunch. After working for a long time, he was still very hungry.

While eating Liu Hongjian, he observed Chongzhen's expression, first he was puzzled, then shocked, then angry.

With a bang, Chongzhen slapped the table, startling Liu Hongjian, who was working hard, and the cabbage he picked up with chopsticks shook off the table.

"Bold and reckless, deceiving the emperor, under my nose, these ministers dare to be so unscrupulous, their hearts should be punished, all officials should be killed, they should be killed!"

Chongzhen was furious. Although he had heard Liu Hongjian say that the officials were corrupt, he was just noncommittal. Now it seems that every word is punishing.

Liu Hongjian was dissatisfied with Chongzhen's fuss. In his opinion, almost everyone in the capital knew about the corruption of officials. It is estimated that Emperor Chongzhen himself was kept in the dark. Who asked him to kill himself, put aside the factory guards, and cut off his arms. , both eyes are smeared black.

But Liu Hongjian still advised Chongzhen to appease his anger. It is not too late to know these things now, Ming Dynasty is not dead yet, there is still hope.

In the hall, only Yu Chongzhen, Liu Hongjian, and Wang Chengen, whose legs ached and couldn't stand, also found a stool to sit next to him. I have no face to go back and face the wounded soldiers of the Beijing camp who are waiting to be fed.

"Kill, I want to kill them all and exile them all. My country is destroyed in the hands of these civil servants. It's ridiculous that I once pinned my hopes on them. My heart aches! My heart aches!"

Chongzhen stamped his feet and beat his chest, with tears in his eyes. Half a year ago, he called on all officials to donate to pay for the army. The officials all cried poorly, and the court turned into walking, and all of them wore patched clothes to court. What's more, , Mess up the tiles in his own house and hang up the sign for sale.

After two months of tossing around, a few hundred taels for this one, 1000 taels for that one, and only 10,000+ taels of silver donated, which is not enough to fit between your teeth. That’s how Chongzhen believed that those who donated money were really promoted. .

Thinking about it now, I am like that clown jumping on the beam, under the ridicule of the officials, in front of the emperor, damn it!Damn it!
The grievances and grievances have turned into anger at this moment, and only by killing these damn civil servants can the hatred in his heart be relieved.

Liu Hongjian signaled that Wang Chengen would also come to persuade Chongzhen, who was dazzled by anger, but Wang Chengen was very self-aware. Although he was now in charge of the Beijing camp, he was still an eunuch after all.

Wang Chengen returned Liu Hongjian with a wry smile, spread out his only right hand that could move, and signaled that there was nothing he could do, and everything was up to him.

Liu Hongjian cursed secretly for his lack of loyalty. If he had known this before, it would be better not to pay these accounts. Wouldn't he be making trouble for himself? If he really wiped out all these ministers, not to mention who will do things for Chongzhen, how many troops would it take to have so many ministers?

Liu Hongjian had no choice but to persuade Chongzhen to appease his anger with a bitter face, so he began to analyze the current situation for Chongzhen. First of all, the authenticity of this account is still open to question, and it will inevitably require a long period of investigation.

Even if the accounts are true, but now that the Beijing camp is in a semi-disabled state, and even the military rations are a problem, how can they act, counting on the Wucheng soldiers and horses?The emperor looked at the accounts, and the soldiers and horses of the five cities were also listed.

What about Wei Chen's Jin Yiwei?It is even more exaggerated. There are 5000 people registered on the register, but less than 5000 are actually employed, and more than half of the rest are working in other places. There are [-] miles left, and [-] are Han generals.

Speaking of the great Han general Liu Hongjian, he became angry. These people are called "generals", but they are actually only responsible for standing in the main halls of the palace and delivering the emperor's orders. To put it bluntly, they are the pillars of the palace halls. A manifestation of respect.

Of course, these 'stakes' are not idle people. They are generally tall and big, with a strong back, full of spirit, loud voice, and quite majestic from the outside. For those who don't know the details of the Ming court, it is really possible to be killed. bluff.

Liu Hongjian also learned from Chang Yu that the Jinyiwei he could dispatch in the entire capital was only more than a thousand people. Liu Hongjian was so angry that he stomped his feet, thinking that your country is like this and still thinking about face, it is really sad Unfortunately, he was angry with him.

But Liu Hongjian didn't dare to express his dissatisfaction on his face. He just explained the situation to Chongzhen. There are eight hundred powerful and corrupt officials in Beijing. Silly, don't secretly transfer property.

Or feel that the crime cannot be concealed, and it is not impossible to simply seek refuge with the new boss. After all, Dorgon on the side of the wild boar skin has heard that he is recruiting wise men of the Han nationality.

I only have more than 1000 people, what should I do?
Taking a step back, even if Lao Tzu's more than 1000 people were all responsible for the two, and all the corrupt officials on the accounts were wiped out, the political center of the entire Ming Dynasty would be paralyzed in a short while?

It's one thing to occupy a latrine and not shit, but at least there is someone in the latrine!

This also requires Chongzhen to find reliable officials from the Ministry of Officials to plan ahead, which will take time.

After Liu Hongjian finished expressing his opinion, he kicked the ball to Chongzhen again. I have said everything I need to say, whether you like it or not.

Chongzhen was silent for a while, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. After thinking for a while, Chongzhen suddenly picked up the wine glass and drank it down, as if he had thought of a countermeasure, but when he opened his mouth, Liu Hongjian knelt down.

"What's your opinion, Ai Qing?"
