Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

"Although the cabinet's attitude is clear about the rebellion in the Jiangnan provinces, it still has a great impact."

Yang Wenyue, Minister of the Military Aircraft Department in Beijing, looked dignified, "Since His Majesty's personal conquest, there have been various rumors and even many doubts among the government and the opposition. .

The current measures of the Military Aircraft Department have been adopted by the cabinet, but we must not be careless in the slightest.

The situation in Liao is not yet fully clear.

This is also the case in the Jiangnan provinces.

Once there is any turmoil or turmoil in the northern provinces, the situation for the country will be extremely passive, and we will be the criminals of the country. "

"Yang Shufu is right."

With firm eyes, Ding Qirui nodded and said: "Before the imperial conquest, Your Majesty issued a secret decree to the Military Aircraft Department. If the situation in the country is in turmoil, the Military Aircraft Department has the right to make arbitrary decisions.

Look now, it's time.

In the name of the Military Aircraft Department, an official letter was secretly sent to the governors or governors of Zhili, Henan, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, etc.

Ordering the above-mentioned provinces to strictly observe and ensure absolute stability under the rule is something that must be clarified. After all, some situations in the current court are affected by the reform and reform, which has caused serious fluctuations in people's hearts. "

"The lower official feels that Huguang should be added to the issue of the secret issuance of the official letter."

Qu Shixu, the Counselor of the Military Aircraft Department, stepped forward and expressed his thoughts, "Huguang has been an important place for money and food since ancient times, and it is also an important place for guarding the heart.

If there is chaos in Huguang, it will threaten the Central Plains and other places if it advances, and it will threaten the Southwest, Jiangnan and other places if it retreats.

In view of the current special situation, before the situation in Liao is clear, Huguang must not be threatened. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for Guochao to put down the Jiangnan rebellion. "

There was silence in the Hall of Martial Arts.

Since Emperor Chongzhen's imperial conquest, although a group of conservative ministers were named and taken away from the capital, this allowed the banner of the reform to be waved in the hands of many reformists.

Even affected by the war in the Liao region, many contradictions and attention were effectively diverted, but this did not mean that there were no contradictions and hidden dangers within the Ming Dynasty.

The ministers who were entrusted with important tasks by Emperor Chongzhen were all under great pressure in their respective positions, to ensure that the imperial conquest could proceed smoothly, and at the same time ensure that under the general trend of reform and reform, the overall situation in Ming Dynasty was stable. .

"This officer seconded."

After a long silence, Yang Wenyue made a statement.

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

As Yang Wenyue expressed his attitude, the other ministers of the Military Aircraft Department and the Counselor expressed their attitudes one after another. Although they were also very worried, they had to do something under the current situation.

For a long time, as a special government office, the Military Aircraft Department had an awkward position in the court, and it was precisely this that made the Military Aircraft Department attach great importance to Emperor Chongzhen's attitude.

Before the banner of the reform was raised, the Military Aircraft Department had been promoting the military reform, which had created a gap between the officials serving in the Military Aircraft Department and many other department officials.

This is what Emperor Chongzhen wanted to achieve.

Power is opposed.

If you want to be a good emperor of the Ming Dynasty, you must know how to check and balance, so that the civil and military forces driven by your subordinates can check and balance each other, so that the imperial power can be guaranteed.

Once you break away from this reality, no matter how much you want to do, it will be difficult to achieve.

"I don't know what the situation is like on the Liaozuo front now."

Yang Wenyue stood up and walked towards the war sand table in the hall, "Since His Majesty's personal conquest, the treasury and the Ministry of Internal Affairs have allocated more than 1500 million taels of food and salaries.

As far as the previously known situation is concerned, the situation in the Liaohetao and Liaoxi areas has been affected by the Liaozuo front, which has exceeded the scope of the previous prediction of the Military Aircraft Department.

In particular, the Guanning iron cavalry stationed in Shanhaiguan, affected by the war in western Liaoning, were all dispatched to threaten Chahar, Neikalkha and other places. "

"The military strategy adopted by His Majesty has too high requirements for logistical support."

Ding Qirui frowned and scanned the war sand table in front of him, "Although a large amount of food and salaries are gathered in the military industry in various places, it also drives the development of industries in many regions.

But the pressure of military expenditures is all on the country's side.

Two days ago, the Ministry of Internal Affairs made it clear that our Military Aircraft Department should apply for a batch of military expenses from the cabinet. Otherwise, the Ministry of Internal Affairs alone will bear the war expenses, and it will not last long. "

"It's hard to do this."

Yang Wenyue sighed softly, "If there hadn't been the Jiangnan Rebellion, our Military Aircraft Department could still apply for a batch of military expenses from the cabinet to ease the pressure on the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

But now something like this happened.

If you want to facilitate this matter, I'm afraid there will be a lot of opposition from the ministers in the court. Once this trend occurs, I'm afraid there will be more people questioning His Majesty's personal conquest. "

Depending on the position you are in, you will consider things from different angles, which will also cause a lot of differences of opinion, especially in a special situation.

Most of the time, Emperor Chongzhen stayed in the capital and the Forbidden City, which was like a magic needle for calming the sea, which could effectively deter all forces.

But now, for his strategic planning, Emperor Chongzhen wants to effectively resolve some conflicts through the imperial conquest, suppress the rebellion and build captives, recover the lost land in Liaojiang, and build a more solid foundation for the reformation. He left the capital and the Forbidden City , which also causes some new contradictions to arise under the new circumstances we face.

Deep down in many people's hearts, they are very clear.

Emperor Chongzhen's personal conquest, whether he wins or loses miserably, will affect the fate of the Ming Dynasty, and even threaten the rule of the country if it is serious.

After all, because of a personal conquest, Da Ming overdrafted a lot of resources and formed a huge financial deficit. If the final victory cannot be achieved, then Da Ming will be unable to solve these crises, and the undercurrent will set off a stormy sea!
"Listen, who is making noise in the Forbidden City?"

Counselor Qu Shixu frowned and looked at Yang Wenyue and Ding Qirui. The people who were reminded, you look at me, I look at you, showing different expressions, and vaguely heard roars.

"Great victory!!!"

At this moment, everyone's expressions changed slightly, and they turned around and ran outside the Martial Ying Hall.

But I saw several cavalry soldiers, holding military flags and riding horses, standing in front of the Hall of Martial Arts, all of them looked excited and roared to the sky.

"Great victory!!! Great victory in Liaozuo!! The Son of Heaven personally conquered, led the Shenji Battalion, Zhenliao Army and other departments to destroy the Jianlu in the Liaozuo, beheaded more than 4 Jianlu Zhentars, and captured more than 2 Jianlu Zhentars People..."

The people who ran out of the Hall of Martial Heroes, seeing this scene and hearing the shouts from the Imperial Forest Army of the Ming Dynasty, all showed shocked expressions, unable to believe what they heard.

"Da Ming won?"

"Da Ming won!"

Under tremendous pressure, Yang Wenyue, Ding Qirui and other ministers of the Military Aircraft Department in Beijing became emotional at this moment. Although they were shocked, the Imperial Forest Army in front of them made them believe in the news they heard.

At this moment, it's not just the Hall of Martial Arts.

The Wenhua Palace where the cabinet is stationed.

Meridian Gate.

Six.

Metropolitan Procuratorate.

five temples.

Various workshops inside and outside the capital.

There are a group of soldiers of the imperial forest army who returned to Beijing with the order, holding the flag of the Ming Dynasty, galloping everywhere to preach the great victory of Liaozuo, which is what Emperor Chongzhen requested.

Daming needs a big victory to cheer people up!
