Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 178 The good general is like a cloud, the bow and horse are solid

As far as the current situation of Ming Dynasty is concerned, Emperor Chongzhen is still very clear in his heart that he has not collapsed in a certain field, but has involved all aspects, all of which have collapsed.

If you want to get rid of the rotten situation, you must have enough patience. After all, Daming's roots are rotten a lot, and a slight big move will lead to a more serious situation.

Therefore, on the premise of checking and balancing the court and stabilizing the situation, Emperor Chongzhen should promote more reliable officials and generals to create a reliable basic situation and reverse it little by little.

"After stabilizing the situation in the court and planning the deployment of Liaodong, it's time to find a way to stabilize the chaos in Shanshan and Shaanxi." When he came to the hanging map, Emperor Chongzhen narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured: The taste of roasting on the fire is really unpleasant, and you have to think about everything in advance, otherwise the trend of rogues will not be restrained."

At present, those rebels are still making troubles in the Shanshan-Shaanxi area, mainly concentrated in Shaanxi, and have not yet formed the momentum to move around and make trouble.

Emperor Chongzhen had to do something.

Compared with the riots that swept half of Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen would rather let the Shanshan area be smashed to death than let the bandits sweep Henan, Huguang and other places, and eventually cause the fall of Zhongdu.

In the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, rebellion is the least expensive thing to do. Gather the elites who can fight, shout a few slogans, coerce the hungry and red-eyed people, and attack the Ming army that delays and owes their wages. If you can't beat it, then run away and look for opportunities afterwards. Under such a premise, the situation in Shaanxi is getting worse and worse.

The root causes of this large-scale peasant uprising, besides the natural disasters in Shanxi and Shaanxi, were the intensification of taxes, the collusion of the local government with the powerful and the gentry, the exorbitant taxation and the annexation of land, so that the people there had no way of life. This situation was caused by the intensification of class conflicts.

During the Little Ice Age, Ming Dynasty asked Emperor Chongzhen to take out extra money and food to appease the bandit leaders who had seen blood, it was purely meat buns beating dogs.

The rogue leader who has already had fun, his ambition will swell.

Wang Jiayin, Wang Ziyong, Gao Yingxiang and other rogue leaders are considered big forces known to the court, while Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are either on the road of rebellion or struggling to develop.

How to solve the existing problems in Shaanxi is what Emperor Chongzhen must solve, but this is also difficult for Emperor Chongzhen.

Because none of the methods he came up with can be carried out on the bright side. After all, he is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so he can't make a clear statement, kill the greedy gentry class, and the more he kills, the more the court rewards. Dare to say this , Before long, the entire Ming Dynasty will rebel.

The ass decides the head.

Taking advantage of the current rogue forces and the so-called riot period, Emperor Chongzhen wanted to check and balance the court as soon as possible, stabilize the situation, and then try to deploy Shanshan and other places.

A relatively mature plan is taking shape in Emperor Chongzhen's heart.

"My lord, Cao Huayu has returned to the capital." Wang Dehua hurried into the office, cupped his hands against the Emperor Chongzhen who was standing behind him, and said, "He is leading several generals and is waiting at the Meridian Gate."

What do you want!
Emperor Chongzhen turned around, pointed at Wang Dehua and said, "Go, bring Cao Huayu and the others to me immediately."

"Here!"

The current chaotic situation in Ming Dynasty most needs a good future to stabilize the situation. Before planning the land of Shanshan and Shanxi, Emperor Chongzhen had to accomplish two major things.

One is Liaodong.

One is Jingying.

At present, the deployment of Liaodong is already being implemented one by one. The transition from strategic offense to strategic defense can help the court relieve a lot of pressure.

As for the three major battalions defending Gyeonggi, if they can be completely rectified, it will also relieve a lot of pressure on the imperial court. After all, there are too many people who eat nothing and drink blood.

In the context of the financial imbalance in the Ming Dynasty, the two things of "opening up the source" and "reducing expenditure" were the things that Emperor Chongzhen had to do well.

Only by using Daming's precious finances in a truly useful place and expanding the actual control of the basic market can it be reversed little by little.

……

Cao Huayu, whose thoughts were a little confused, followed Wang Dehua's footsteps and headed towards Qianqing Gate. In order to fulfill the will of the emperor, he has suffered a great crime these days.

Cao Wenzhao, Zuo Liangyu, Huang Degong and other generals who were named by the emperor were found out one by one by him, and Cao Huayu was troubled by some things he encountered during his return to the capital.

Cao Huayu also knew a little about the sudden appearance of Neichang and Xichang, which were operating in various prefectures under the rule of Beizhili.

His younger brother, Cao Huachun, was previously...

"General Cao, the military plane is here." Wang Dehua, who was leading the way, stopped at this moment and said to Cao Huayu, and Cao Huayu woke up instantly with this word.

Cao Wenzhao, Zuo Liangyu, Huang Degong and others who were following Cao Huayu were inexplicably excited at this moment. How could they not be excited about seeing the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

Following Wang Dehua into the office of the Military Aircraft Department, the people headed by Cao Huayu, after seeing Emperor Chongzhen, hurriedly cupped their hands and bowed: "Meet Your Majesty!"

Emperor Chongzhen, who was sitting on the dragon chair, looked at the people behind Cao Huayu, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he thought to himself, these people must be Cao Wenzhao and the others.

Enough is enough, enough is enough.

Before training out-of-production professional soldiers, it is enough to ask them to help me share some pressure, sustain the situation in Daming, and prevent further erosion.

"Excuse me." Emperor Chongzhen said indifferently, "Cao Huayu, you have worked hard this time. You have helped me find these good generals. I am very relieved."

"It is the duty of a minister to share worries for His Majesty."

Cao Huayu hurriedly cupped his hands in a bow.

Right now, the framework of the lecture hall in Xiyuan has been set up. The generals Zhou Yuji, Chen Jisheng, and Mao Chenglu began to collide with each other to explore the training mechanism that Emperor Chongzhen wanted.

For good generals like Cao Wenzhao, Zuo Liangyu, and Huang Degong, when they met for the first time, Emperor Chongzhen had to exercise corresponding restraint and not reveal his attitude too much. He had to keep them tight at all times so that they could stay positive. momentum.

"Over there in Xiyuan, I founded the Lecture Hall."

After a brief chat with Cao Wenzhao and the others, Emperor Chongzhen said indifferently, "Just follow along. If you have real skills, let's first make a name for yourself in the martial arts hall. I hope you don't call me Disappointed, at that time I will decide whether to use or not based on your performance."

"Here!"

People with skills will shine no matter where they are. Emperor Chongzhen wanted to use this method to collide with more things in the martial arts hall and improve the training mechanism of professional soldiers in the Ming Dynasty.
