Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 813
The news of Dorgon's retreat from Shanhaiguan reached the Ming capital Beijing in just one day.After getting the reward, Zhu Yousong joked: "Dorgon's horse is so fast, it comes and goes in a hurry."

Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong from the training base of the expeditionary army got the news again, and the two of them made a fuss in front of Zhu Yousong again, and they knelt down and volunteered.

Li Zicheng said: "Your Majesty, since Dorgon has withdrawn, we should seize the opportunity and send our troops out of Shanhaiguan to fight Ningyuan, win Jinzhou, and go straight to Shengjing. This minister is not willing to fight first."

"Your Majesty, it's a good opportunity for the thieves to retreat. Lao Zhang is also willing to take the lead in sending troops to Shanhaiguan. If your Majesty is really difficult to make a decision, then we both send troops. The two cities in front are Ningyuanning and Jinzhou. Each person has a city, and whoever takes it first Whoever comes down will attack Shengjing for the first battle against Dorgon." Zhang Xianzhong said not to be outdone.

"You two lovers, get up. I don't plan to send troops out of Shanhaiguan right now."

A Marquis of Xi'an and a Northwest King stood up from the ground after thanking him. In their minds, His Majesty was young and energetic, fond of martial arts and warlike, and he was a little puzzled when he said this.

"Your Majesty, the strength of my Ming Dynasty is no longer what it used to be. Whether it is cavalry, infantry or sailors, they are all invincible. Even the Dutch red-haired men who are known as the overlord of the sea, their strong ships and guns are invincible in front of His Majesty's holy master." You have to tremble. Of course, it is necessary to train the expeditionary army and increase its combat power, but to deal with the group of Tartars outside the pass, there is no need for an expeditionary army. The current imperial court has enough troops. If His Majesty orders, the minister is willing to lead 10 horses directly Damn Shengjing." Li Zicheng spoke generously.

Zhang Xianzhong stroked his beard with his hand and said: "Your Majesty, I only need 5 soldiers and horses, and I will not bother you to drive me personally. I am only allowed to command 5 soldiers and horses. With a few generals, I can sweep Ning Jin. Squeeze Shengjing. It’s not that the ministers are talking big. Don’t look at them having new artillery. In my old Zhang’s opinion, these Tartars are exhausted in front of His Majesty’s majesty, and they are vulnerable. 10,000+ troops have been fighting for such a long time They didn’t get anything, His Majesty is thousands of miles away, and they only need to use a little trick to make them retreat. They have already become frightened birds!”

Before Zhu Yousong could speak, Li Zicheng's eyes widened again, Zhang Xianzhong's cheeks puffed up, and his half-foot-long beard trembled.

Ever since Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong surrendered to Zhu Yousong with all their hearts, neither of them obeyed the other. To be a minister is to increase your relatives, but if you want to support yourself, you are all from the father-in-law (father-in-law), and you are a son (son-in-law) if you are humble.

Seeing that the two of them were about to argue again, Zhu Yousong quickly waved his hands to stop him and said, "It's rare that the two lovers are loyal. Now if I use the power of Da Ming to defeat Dorgon, there is no suspense, but I will use the power of the whole country to defeat Dorgon To deal with the superiority of artillery fire and the field advantage of the Eight Riders and Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, why should I go to war with the Tartars after the expeditionary army of the Ming Dynasty is formed? At that time, the artillery advantage is mine, and the field advantage is also my advantage? In the past few years, my Ming Dynasty has fought year after year , the common people are miserable, and it is time for them to live in peace for a few days. When I am ready for the expeditionary army to go out, it will not only destroy one Dorgon. Don't worry, the two lovers, don't worry about it. In three years, I will let you show your talents."

Zhu Yousong said, looking into the distance with deep eyes.

Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong also served as emperors, and they were deeply moved by Zhu Yousong's love for the people. As emperors, they should not only have the country and the country in their hearts, but also the people of Li. The victory of the war is important, but the suffering of the people is especially important. Let alone human lives for the sake of winning battles.

In addition, they also read the clues from Zhu Yousong's eyes, knowing that their majesty left the pass, it is not to recover Ningyuan and Jinzhou, but a conquest war, not just to conquer the Tartars like Dorgon, the goal is him "The land where the sun shines is the king's land. The upright people are the king's subjects."

Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, sighing to themselves, returned to the training base of the Expeditionary Army after their Majesty's speech, and stepped up their training. In order to form an army as soon as possible, and also to start a war against the Tartars as soon as possible, clean up Dorgon, with the spirit of seizing the day and night , Exercise soldiers and horses.

After dismissing Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, Zhu Yousong asked Yuqian Shutong Xiao Liushi to pick out the cabinet's memorial from the Longshu case, and also pick out the memorial from the imperial envoy Yanguan.

It was quickly sorted out, and now there are not many memorials piled up on Zhu Yousong's case.Compared with the Chongzhen era, the Longshu case piled up like a mountain, and he personally handled every memorial. The huge Ming Dynasty, military, economic, political, and talent selection had to be read by Longmu in person, so that he would not die of exhaustion. No wonder.

There are six cabinets and a supervisor of rituals.Local matters, as well as the three or four yamen of the local officials, why should he, the emperor, have to do everything himself?It's a different story when it comes to military affairs that are none other than him.

Now Zhu Yousong, the emperor, is doing quite easily. From the cabinet to the six ministries, from the Sangong to the Sanqing, from the court to the local government, there are virtuous ministers like Gao Hongtu and Wang Duo, and Lu Jiu, who is proficient in military aircraft and admiral Dongchang. Virtue, with the ability of these people, coupled with the supervisory censor Song Xiance and Yan Ximing, as well as the supervision and advice of these censors, Zhu Yousong does not need to do much to govern the country. worry.

All he needs to do is to be the helmsman of Daming, but today he wants to look through the memorials handed over by these virtuous ministers.

There are Gao Hongtu, Wang Duo, and local officials.

All he saw was good news. Now the national treasury is rising day by day, and his internal money is also rising.

The more Zhu Yousong watched, the happier he was. As for the words of the officials and the censor who impeached other officials, there was none.

Zhu Yousong ordered Song Xiance and Yan Xi to be summoned. The two are now Zhu Yousong's left and right supervisors, and of course they are the heads of the officials.

Song Xiance and Yan Ximing knelt on the ground and said in unison: "See Your Majesty."

"You two lovers, let's live together."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The two got up after thanking each other, bowed their bodies and waited for the hadith.

"I'm chatting casually with you today. It's been so many days since my class teacher returned to the court, and there is no record of impeachment of hundreds of officials. Does it mean that there are no corrupt officials among civil and military officials?"

The two looked at each other, not knowing what His Majesty meant, and then Song Xiance said boldly: "This minister dare not jump to conclusions, but since His Majesty justly killed his relatives and killed his uncle, and dealt with Eunuch Li and Eunuch Zhao, it is indeed politically correct now." Qing officials, Ming and Qing Dynasties, from the court to the local government, there are hundreds of officials, and none of them dares to commit crimes."

Zhu Yousong nodded, expressing his satisfaction, and after sending them away, he called Gao Hongtu and Wang Duo in again.

"According to my will, we will reduce rent and tax by 5% for the common people."

"Your Majesty is so gracious, I obey the order." Gao Hongtu and Wang Duo agreed, they knew that this was the third time His Majesty had reduced taxes for the common people.

　The past two days have been too busy, so I can only stick to the third watch for everyone.
