Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 891 Abandon the Liao King and end the monarchy!
The world is in harmony!

This is the highest state pursued by Confucianism, and this is also the beautiful world that the Datong people want to build.

The Datong Society is capable of building such a world. Whether it is the efforts of the Datong Society in the provinces during the Tianqi Dynasty, or the current construction in Liaodong, it tells all the people of the Datong Party: We are really looking forward to what everyone expects is moving forward.

This is very important. Many members of the Datong Party are young and passionate youths. They have ideals, ambitions, talents, and they can see what the current dynasty looks like, so they are more willing to follow Zhang Haogu and build a new one. world.

The members of the Datong Party looked at Zhang Haogu excitedly. Their faces were already flushed, and everyone clenched their fists, feeling that the blood in their bodies was boiling. Now they have the ability to build a brand new world.

Zhang Haogu looked at the cadres of the Datong Society in the audience, and said loudly: "What we want to do is not a rebellion, nor a disaster; it is purely for the sake of the common people, to build a new world , a new country."

"The new country will have no emperor, no nobles, all of us are the masters of the country, and we will build a new world of great unity."

"Now, the cadres of the Datong Society and the comrades of the Datong Party, let us completely overthrow that fatuous imperial court and build our country."

Inside the Fengtian Hall, the people of the Datong Party couldn't help cheering excitedly: "Go and build our country! Long live the Datong Party!"

After everyone calmed down, the second collective meeting of the Datong Party continued. The meeting adopted Zhang Haogu's latest guiding ideology of "starting a blaze and revolutionizing the world" as the core goal of the Datong Party in the next five years.

At the same time, members of the Datong Party unanimously elected Zhang Haogu to continue as the president of the Datong Society, leading everyone to build a world of Datong.

In the subsequent meeting, in order to unite the power of all people to build a new world, the Datong Party Center was established within the Datong Party to coordinate everything, and the Datong Military and Political Yuan was established to be responsible for government affairs and military affairs.

Zhang Haogu served as the chief assistant of the Datong Party Central Committee, the military chief of the Datong Party Central Committee, Lu Xiangsheng served as the president of the Datong Government Affairs Council, Zhang Ruitu served as the vice president of the Datong Government Administration Council, Cao Wenzhao served as the president of the Datong Military Academy, and Fang Yunchu served as the vice president of the Datong Military Academy .

After the meeting ended, the content of the meeting was quickly published by the Datong Daily, announcing to the world that the Datong Party members were really coming, and they were going to compete with the Ming court for the world with a clear-cut stand.

Datong Daily was distributed in eastern Liaodong, grasslands, northwest, and throughout Daming, and was even sent to Chongzhen's desk.

"boom!"

With a bang, Chongzhen slammed his fist hard on the table, his eyes were bloodshot, and his eyes were bloodshot: "This living Cao Cao, this living Cao Cao, he is finally going to rebel!"

"This rebel, rebel! I already knew that he was going to rebel! If the late emperor hadn't blindly protected and indulged him, how could this rebel be here today!"

As he said that, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly pointed at the top of his head and roared: "Tian Qi, did you see that, this is the Minister Gu Ming you left for me, and he turned his back on him!"

"He blatantly rebelled against Daming! This is Minister Gu Ming, he rebelled! Rebelled!"

Hearing Chongzhen's roar, all the ministers in the hall knelt down on the ground: "The ministers are guilty."

Even though they said this, even though they all knelt on the ground respectfully and lowered their heads, who knew what was going on in their hearts?

Although they are all courtiers of the imperial court, they have different teachers, different townships, and different parties, so naturally they have different ideas.

Take the fury of Chongzhen today as an example, many courtiers couldn't help but secretly slander, Zhang Haogu is a Gu Ming minister left behind by the late emperor, it's good, but whoever forced this Gu Ming minister away, wasn't it you Chongzhen?
At the same time, many officials were still thinking that the Datong Party was about to rebel. If the Datong Party really came to Zhili, should they surrender?

Moreover, the Datong Party has no emperor, and the chief assistant is in power. Is this equivalent to being a prime minister or a prime minister?
If I go to the Datong Party, can I continue to be an official?

Chongzhen did not expect that the Datong Party had just announced that it would compete in the world, and his courtiers were already thinking about whether to join him or not.

After all, the strength of the Datong Party is obvious to all. It has an advantage in the Northwest and Shandong.

The court officials of the Ming Dynasty are not fools. The Datong Party is already on fire, and it is only a matter of making progress in Zhili. Obviously, the chances of winning are not small.

However, anyone who can survive in the court knows how to be cautious. After all, Daming is a giant, and now the centipede is dead but not stiff. Zhili, Henan, and the entire Southern Kingdom are under the control of Daming, and there are countless people. A large number of troops, gentry and landlords are more supportive of the imperial court than Datong.

So as far as the present is concerned, the two sides are still fighting. Right now, we should honestly be the courtiers of Daming. However, we should also contact Datong in private. If Datong can really occupy Zhili, it is not impossible to consider surrendering in Kaesong.
Chongzhen watched the courtiers kneel on the ground and shouted for death, and watched his cabinet ministers beg him to calm down, saying that Da Ming still had the ability to deal with Datong. Emperor Chongzhen also took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"Cabinet ministers, ministers of various ministries, next court and later Wuying Hall."

After all, Chongzhen left the hall, and he had already made up his mind to use direct means to kill Zhang Haogu at all costs.

After a while, the little eunuch shouted in a shrill voice to withdraw from the court, and the ministers retreated from the court. At the same time, the cabinet ministers and six ministers went to the Wuying Hall to discuss how to deal with Zhang Haogu.

When they arrived at the Hall of Martial Arts, these people had already negotiated a regulation: relying on the current military strength of Zhili, it is impossible to deal with Zhang Haogu, and it must wait for the soldiers and horses from the south to arrive.

In the Hall of Martial Arts, Wen Tiren, Shi Fenglai, Yang Sichang, Liu Hongxun and others were sitting upright, watching Emperor Chongzhen's chest heaving violently and pacing continuously. Everyone lowered their eyebrows and pretended not to see anything.

Soon, Emperor Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair and pointed at Wen Tiren: "Tell me, have you come up with any ideas?"

Chongzhen didn't bother to talk about etiquette right now, he was about to get angry, he had expected Zhang Haogu's rebellion, but what Zhang Haogu said when he rebelled, the court was fatuous and the people were suffering, all these Who are you talking about?
Who is stupid?Who harmed the common people?
Could it be him, Emperor Chongzhen?

Isn't this because of natural disasters and those corrupt officials?

Does Emperor Chongzhen want to see the world become like this tomorrow?
It's not all Zhang Haogu's fault!

Wen Tiren said with some anxiety: "Your Majesty, I have already communicated with you on the way here. I think that for the current plan, we need to wait for the imperial army to gather, and then use the momentum of Mount Tai to wipe out the rebels in Liaodong!"

Chongzhen glared at Wen Tiren: "That traitor Zhang Haogu has rebelled, and you still make me wait?! How can I wait? How can I wait?"

Liu Hongxun had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, please rest the anger of the thunder. The imperial court has only more than 20 soldiers and horses in Zhili. If we want to start a war against Liaodong, we need at least [-] soldiers and horses to protect the capital. "

"Now the imperial court is just a bloated giant. It has no strength and cannot gather together. What is needed now is to gather strength, Your Majesty."

Chongzhen waved his hand violently: "The number of soldiers in the Southern Kingdom has reached [-], isn't that enough?"

Liu Hongxun bit the bullet and said, "Not enough, far from enough."

Chongzhen snorted coldly: "I see you are scared out of your wits!"

"The number of troops in the Southern Kingdom has reached 30, and the imperial court still has [-] in Zhili. With the addition of Shanhaiguan and Jizhen's frontier troops, the imperial court already has [-] troops in Zhili. Can't it deal with the tens of thousands of Datong thieves in Liaodong? "

"It is my decree that [-] troops from the Southern Kingdom will go to Shanhaiguan, and Yang Shengwu will be promoted to Governor of Jiliao. Zhang Haogu!"

According to a decree of Chongzhen, Yang Shengwu, who was still the censor of the capital of Youqin, immediately became the governor of Jiliao. Wan Dajun went to attack Liaodong.

Yang Shengwu, who was inspecting Shuntian Mansion, immediately shouted long live, put on the governor's official robes of honor, and headed straight for Shanhaiguan with Jin Yiwei and the Southern Army.

At this time, Zhang Haogu had already finished the military meeting of the Datong Central Committee. The content of the meeting was very simple. Shi Kefa was appointed as the chief assistant of the Datong Party Central Committee and the military chief of the Datong Central Committee to command the Northwest Front Army of Datong; The person in charge of the Southwest will command the Southwest Front Army; Zhou Yuji will be appointed as the head of the Southeast Front of Datong to command the Southwest Front Army; the three parties will act separately and start preparing for the next offensive in Datong.

Shi Kefa, Zhou Yuji, Huang Degong, and Zhao Yuqi hurried back, and went to make preparations with the latest orders.

Right now there are only six towns of new troops left in Liaodong, so Zhang Haogu was a little surprised when the news reached Shenyang that Yang Shengwu was appointed governor of Jiliao and governor of Liaodong with 20 troops ready to wipe out Liaodong.

The surprise was not that Yang Shengwu came with an army of 20, but that Emperor Chongzhen could make up his mind to send troops directly instead of hesitating.

After all, Emperor Chongzhen was a resourceful and capricious emperor, and Zhang Haogu was impressed by his determination.

Inside the Hall of Qinzheng, Lu Xiangsheng, Zhang Ruitu, Cao Wenzhao, and Fang Yunchu sat on both sides, drinking tea and smoking cigarettes. Zhang Haogu held the cigarette in one hand and the information in the other, and couldn't help laughing: "Farewell for three days, You should look at him with admiration. Our Emperor Chongzhen can actually make such a determination."

"The 20 frontier troops in Jizhen, the [-] garrison troops in Shanhaiguan, and the [-] guards in Huguang and Zhejiang make up a total of [-] troops. They are really bold."

Lu Xiangsheng put down the teacup: "According to the news from Zhili, Emperor Chongzhen ordered troops from the southern provinces to enter Beijing. The first batch was 20. Now only soldiers from Huguang and Zhejiang have arrived. Sichuan, Jiangxi, Fujian, Guizhou and others have arrived. The soldiers and horses from Guangdong and Guangxi will enter Beijing one by one."

"With our current move, Emperor Chongzhen may have dispatched more than 20 soldiers."

Zhang Haogu laughed: "Wouldn't that be better? If Chongzhen can really mobilize an army of 50 million to Zhili, then we will fight a decisive battle with him in Zhili, and the first battle will determine the ownership of the Central Plains."

Cao Wenzhao said with a smile: "But the chief assistant, right now, we are going to fight a decisive battle in Liaodong."

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "It's all the same, it's all the same, they have 20 troops, we also have 20 troops, one hundred thousand fights [-], it's not impossible to fight."

"Since they're here, entertain them well, and you will be responsible for this battle."

Cao Wenzhao and Fang Yunchu nodded with a smile, but Fang Yunchu hadn't fought for a long time, and it was time to exercise his muscles.

After Yang Shengwu arrived at Shanhaiguan, he took out the imperial decree, and the general soldier of Shanhaiguan immediately knelt down to accept the order, and at the same time transferred the military power very quickly, without dragging his feet, showing no interest in military power.

It stands to reason that the Shanhaiguan General Soldier holds an army of [-] in his hands, and he is a big warlord.

But Shanhaiguan's general soldier is also suffering. It's good to have [-] soldiers in his hand, but he is facing Datong!
What's more, the money and food that the imperial court has given Shanhaiguan these years is only so much, and the [-] soldiers can barely support it until now. He has tried his best. Now that someone is coming to take over this mess, he is not too happy. How could he refuse?

Yang Shengwu was a little surprised, why did the Shanhaiguan commander-in-chief hand over the military power so cleanly?
But when Yang Shengwu checked the Shanhaiguan defense line and the situation of the Shanhaiguan defenders, Yang Shengwu's face turned dark. He immediately recruited the Shanhaiguan general soldier and asked Jin Yiwei to take him down: "Take down this bastard who is greedy for military pay!"

The general soldier of Shanhaiguan was stunned for a moment and then shouted injustice. Yang Shengwu said angrily: "The city of Shanhaiguan should have been repaired every year, but now it has not been repaired for three consecutive years. It's half rusted, and the armor is incomplete, isn't this because you're corrupt or I'm corrupt?!"

The General Soldier of Shanhaiguan burst into tears when he heard this: "My lord, Shanhaiguan is poor. It's not that the last general is corrupt, but that he has no money at all!"

Yang Shengwu was stunned for a moment, he could see that the Shanhaiguan General Soldier was really wronged, the crying Shanhaiguan General Soldier narrated their difficulties, Yang Shengwu couldn't help asking after hearing this: "The imperial court allocates at least 60 silver to Shanhaiguan each year. , where is the silver?!"

The general soldier of Shanhaiguan said helplessly: "The money allocated by the imperial court is in our hands, and there is no 60 at all, my lord governor."

Yang Shengwu knew if the imperial court was drifting or not, but in his mind, no matter how drifting it was, it wouldn't make the soldiers hungry and the weapons unable to be repaired, right?
This is Shanhaiguan. If there is no money to repair the city wall of Shanhaiguan, how can we fight this battle?
"How is the money calculated?" Yang Shengwu said coldly, he had to find out the real situation in Shanhaiguan.

Shanhaiguan General Soldier said silently: "Nineteen points."

Nine points!

Yang Shengwu's eyes went dark, the nine points were not Shanhaiguan accounting for [-]%, but Shanhaiguan accounting for [-]%!
[-]%!
If the imperial court allocates 60 yuan a year, those bastards will have to embezzle 54 yuan, and the remaining [-] yuan will be given to Shanhaiguan!

How can 6 taels of silver be enough for the [-] guards in Shanhaiguan to pay, rations, ordnance replacement, and city wall repairs?
But Yang Shengwu didn't know that the nine points were beautified by the general soldiers of Shanhaiguan, because just five years before Chongzhen, the second year of Chongzhen, the third year of Chongzhen, and the fourth year of Chongzhen for two consecutive years, Shanhaiguan couldn't get even [-]% of the money allocated by the imperial court. arrive.

According to the accounts over the years, the most money was during the Tianqi Dynasty, when the imperial court allocated a full amount of military pay and food every year. In the first year of Chongzhen, Zhang Haogu also allocated a full amount of money and food when he was still in charge of the cabinet.

But in the second year of Chongzhen, only 60 taels of the [-] taels allocated by the imperial court were left, which was only half of it.

In the third year of Chongzhen, the imperial court allocated 70 taels of silver, and Shanhaiguan received 4 taels, less than half of it.

In the fourth year of Chongzhen, considering the threat of Liaodong, the imperial court allocated a full 100 million taels of silver, and Shanhaiguan got only 8 taels.

In the fifth year of Chongzhen, Datong sent troops to Shandong, Gansu and Shanxi respectively, and the world was shaken. The officials of the court were also afraid that Shanhaiguan would miss it. Only 80% of the 8 taels allocated at this time were actually distributed to Shanhaiguan, that is, only [-] taels.

For four consecutive years, Shanhaiguan received a total of 23 taels in hand. It was necessary to repair the city wall to strengthen the defense, replenish gunpowder and shells, and repair ordnance to replenish food and grass. Where did the [-] troops get the military salary?It is a good day to be able to eat two meals a day!
After Yang Shengwu figured out this account, Yang Shengwu's eyes darkened. He thought that the imperial court was not so powerful, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful!
"Shanhaiguan is the fortress of the imperial court to guard against Liaodong. In the previous dynasty, Zhang Haogu was in charge of the imperial court, and the Jiliao army town was rebellious and refused to obey orders. He allocated 2403 million taels of silver every year on time, and he was not greedy for money! But now , when the court was full of power, Shanhaiguan could not get [-]% of the money allocated by the court every year!"

"Really, really"

Yang Shengwu didn't know what to say.

The general soldier in Shanhaiguan complained his grievances there with snot and tears, and Yang Shengwu finally understood why the general soldier transferred the military power so swiftly. The general soldier couldn't continue to manage this mess!

Yang Shengwu stretched out his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, and said helplessly, "I understand, the governor will give part of the money allocated by the court to Shanhaiguan first."

Yang Shengwu understood very well that the [-] guards in the Southern Kingdom could not play a big role, because in the Ming Dynasty, each province and even each prefecture were different, and each prefecture and county was their own family, and their own people, outside the county, No other counties in one prefecture belong to us, let alone other prefectures, other provinces?
If you put it a little bigger, why should people from the southern country come to the northern country to die?
Our southern country has not encountered Datong soldiers. What does the disaster you people in the northern country have to do with our southern country?
This is what happened in real feudal times.

In the Han Dynasty, the county was the country, a county was a country, and the people in the county were their own people.

There was also serious hostility among the various Taoists in the Tang Dynasty, and the people of Guanzhong did not regard the people of Guandong as human beings.

In the Song Dynasty, the reason why the Southern Song Dynasty was not interested in the restoration of the Central Plains by the Northern Expedition was also because the southerners were unwilling to work hard for the northerners. After all, their south was very safe, with the Yangtze River as a natural moat.
But at present, the situation is the same, Yang Shengwu knows very well that the [-] guards in the southern country can fight well, and it is impossible to expect them to fight with Datong coins.

The ones who can really count on are the frontier army of Jizhen and the defenders of Shanhaiguan. These people must be fed enough!

Thinking of this, Yang Shengwu couldn't help sighing:

"Money."
