Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 526 Party Struggle Version Official Governance Reform

Emperor Chongzhen began to lack money, Xishan system, Zhili construction, Tianjin Kaihai, Jingying reconstruction, Liaodong supply and demand, various factory incubation...

Too many plans that consume money and food, and the early stage of implementation, are all allocated and supplied by internal funds, and these are invested on the basis of 'million taels'.

Now that the changes surrounding the northern provinces of Ming Dynasty have begun to deviate from the original historical track, they are no longer as chaotic as before, and there are already signs of recovery in troubled times.

This is a good thing.

The overall foundation of many plans has been laid in the early stage, relying on the continuous supply of internal funds, which can be regarded as a solid foundation.

At present, as long as the northern part of the Ming Dynasty is not chaotic, and the frontiers are not invaded by Jianlu and Mongolian Tatars, and this momentum of development is maintained, then the internal circulation of the northern provinces can gradually form and begin to stabilize, relying on Tianjin, the external port , continue to infuse active blood into the north.

"Li Zicheng, Liu Xingzuo, please don't let me down."

Looking at the various expenditures of internal funds and the progress made everywhere, Emperor Chongzhen said with emotion: "A lot of my wealth has been invested continuously and stably before. Whether you can continue to adjust the northern provinces of the Ming Dynasty depends on what you have done in Liaodong. Progress has been made.

To curb the momentum of Jianlu's expansion, it is finally up to you to guarantee it.

Wang Banban, in the near future, the Military Aircraft Department and the Lijian Supervisor, whenever there are reports from Liaodong, they will be submitted to the imperial court as soon as possible without any delay. "

"The slaves obey the order."

Wang Chengen bowed hurriedly.

Emperor Chongzhen put down the memorial and looked at the map laid out on the imperial case. With North Zhili as the center, and Shanxi, Liaoqian, Shandong, Henan and other places attached, there are successive and scattered red lines, which are clearly marked everywhere.

As long as Daming is no longer affected by the war in the next two years, these economic revitalization plans can be regarded as truly taking root and bringing continuous changes to Daming.

The only uncontrollable factor is the Jianlu Eight Banners led by Huang Taiji.

After all, if Jianlu can invade Daming Pass for the first time, there will be a second or third time. Therefore, whether the Jianlu Eight Banners can be destroyed, the original expansion trend, has become the top priority.

If it is destroyed, then Huang Taiji will have no time to detour to attack Daming, and must face the chaos and order he encounters, and strive to keep his position as a slave chieftain unshakable.

If it is not destroyed, Huang Taiji controls the Jianlu Eight Banners. After a short rest, he will give full play to the advantages of farming and fighting, and once again rely on the invasion of Daming to recover blood.

As for the Mongolian and Tartar tribes adjacent to the northern border of the Ming Dynasty, Zhangjiakou Quguan and Ningyuan Quguan were successively opened, and they can obtain daily needs through trade. Can ensure basic stability.

The batch of gates reopened by the Ming Dynasty were all shielded by Emperor Chongzhen layer by layer, so that they were firmly in the hands of the court, which also increased the stable financial resources for the national treasury.

When Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about the war situation in Liaodong and the future development of Ming Dynasty, the cabinet at that time fell into another situation under the influence of Zhou Yanru and Han Jisi.

"It's really a fight between gods right now."

Zhou Daodeng looked serious, frowned and said: "This week, Mr. Ge really doesn't make a name, he is a blockbuster, and he joined the Metropolitan Procuratorate to impeach 67 officials in a row.

You all saw the scene of fighting with the chief assistant yesterday, I'm afraid that going to court in the future will not be as easy as before. "

"Who said no."

He Ruchong continued to talk, and said with emotion: "The proposed new regulations on the administration of officials have been implemented by Han Jisi and the others in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Now, on the cabinet side, His Majesty has handed over to the old master of the Zhou Pavilion, which clearly means to strictly enforce the administration of officials.

This is the atmosphere in the court hall now, but there is no movement in the Qianqing Palace. It is obvious...all the behaviors of Zhou Ge are tacitly approved. "

When saying these words, He Ruchong deliberately looked outside the office, and then looked at the silent Qian Xiangkun and Wu Zongda.

In fact, the current cabinet is very interesting.

Han Yu, who seems to be from the Donglin Party, is firmly seated as the chief assistant of the cabinet, and the power of the cabinet given by Emperor Chongzhen is also showing a trend of increasing.

It's just that there are Wen Tiren, Bi Ziyan, Xu Guangqi, and Zhou Yanru who are in charge of a bunch of important tasks assigned by the emperor, so that the prestige of the chief and assistant cannot be consistent in the cabinet.

As for the cabinet ministers such as Zhou Daodeng and He Ruchong, the powers in charge were not granted by Emperor Chongzhen himself, but they were also assigned by Han Yu to be responsible for some errands, most of which were pragmatic.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Qian Xiangkun sighed softly, and looked at Zhou Daodeng and the others, "Everyone, haven't you noticed that the changes in the current situation in the court have begun to seem familiar?"

The office fell into silence.

Qian Xiangkun cryptically said what he was thinking, Zhou Daodeng and He Ru pampered them, how could he not know in his heart, this deja vu is the fact that when Emperor Tianqi was at the imperial court, he relied heavily on Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch of the inner court, and gradually formed fierce party disputes in the court.

But there are some things that can be explained.

Some words cannot be explained.

Party struggles began to revive in the Chongzhen Dynasty.

It's just that unlike the Tianqi Dynasty, the gang of inner court eunuchs around Emperor Chongzhen did not get involved in the government affairs of the foreign dynasty, but instead they were surrounded by a certain circle in disguise.

The party struggle in the Chongzhen Dynasty became an internal confrontation among the civil servants.

"I hope that this trend of rectifying the administration of officials will not continue to expand." Wu Zongda pondered for a moment, then frowned and said, "Otherwise, at that time, it will become a 'rectification' and it will be rectified."

"How can these be controlled by us?"

Zhou Daodeng picked up the teacup and took a sip, "I really thought that the Donglin party members in the court would just sit and wait like this. It is said that the Secretary of General Administration submitted a lot of impeachment regulations."

"That depends on His Majesty's attitude."

He Ruchong said: "If in the end all of them are kept and not released, no matter how much there is, the cabinet will become the target of public criticism."

What He Ruchong said was quite recognized by Qian Xiangkun and the others, the emperor could really do such things.

"What His Majesty is concerned about at the moment is the battle situation in Liaodong."

Wu Zongda continued: "I didn't see the military plane here. It has become extremely busy recently. Even Your Majesty, from time to time, flies the military plane to deal with politics."

"Okay, stop talking about that."

Seeing this, Zhou Daodeng hurriedly said: "Let's do our homework well. As for other things, don't get involved too much. This court situation is not something we can take lightly."

The current Emperor Chongzhen, unlike in the early days of Yuji, who governed in the Wenhua Palace every day, often stayed in the Qianqing Palace, which made the civil servants of the outer dynasty lose the channel to understand the emperor's movements.

Especially in the past year or so, there have been many changes in the court, and a group of new government offices have been set up, making the structure of the court constantly changing, and it is difficult for anyone to figure out what the emperor is thinking.
