Chongzhen Chat Group

In the chat group, Emperor Chongzhen learned that the Guan Ning Army, the New Army, and the Dongjiang Hussars Battalion had completed their intended goals and were currently on their way back to their bases. In this battle, cavalry was dispatched, and the food reserves in Liaodong were also consumed a lot. In the following time, you need to recuperate and prepare for next year.

Emperor Chongzhen will not forget that in the first half of next year, before Jianlu harvests grain, he must personally conquer the country. When Jianlu was at his weakest, he dealt the most fatal blow and fulfilled his promise at the top of the capital city.

The grain shipped from Nanyang before the end of the year will be transported directly by sea to Liaodong for storage. In terms of soldiers, it is not expensive to have many. The training of the new army's follow-up units has been continued, which is enough to have enough troops when the imperial commander personally goes to war. However, every time a city is occupied and every area is controlled, a local garrison is required. This garrison cannot be dispatched from the field troops personally recruited by the imperial commander, but must be considered separately.

Thinking like this, Emperor Chongzhen's thoughts turned to the remaining important towns in the Nine Borders of the Ming Dynasty. Should new local garrisons be formed from them, or local garrisons should be selected from the current army in Liaodong? For a moment, he was a little confused.

Or should the reform of the military system of the guard station be implemented as soon as possible from Guan Ning? Emperor Chongzhen thought of this, and decided to discuss with Sun Chengzong what was the situation of the Ningjin frontline guard post in the rear area to see if it was possible to implement military reform?

Before exiting the chat group, Emperor Chongzhen asked about Hai Lanzhu's situation again. He felt relieved when he learned that she had almost started heading west and was preparing to take a long way back. Or maybe he sensed that Hai Lanzhu was not in a good mood, so he said to her: "Jianlu's Yue Tuo has been killed, and the end of Huang Taiji will not be too far away. My beloved, please wait and see. I will definitely give my beloved a gift." Revenge!"

When Hai Lanzhu saw this private chat, he was really excited. Yue Tuo was one of the most important figures in the Qing Dynasty. He was the flag owner of the red flag and the eldest son of Daishan, the leader of Baylor. He had made great achievements for the Qing Dynasty. of military exploits. I didn’t expect such a powerful person to die just now!

"I believe that your majesty can definitely do it!" Hai Lanzhu immediately replied, "I hope that your majesty will march to Japan in person and accompany you to witness the destruction of the Qing Dynasty with your own eyes!"

Emperor Chongzhen was stunned by this request. There seems to be no precedent, right? I will definitely be remonstrated by hundreds of officials about my personal expedition, and I even brought my wife with me on the expedition. I wonder what will be written in the history books of future generations? Wouldn't he be worse than Emperor Zhengde?

Thinking of this, he suddenly laughed again. It seemed impossible. He had a chat group system, and his achievement points could add fifty years to his life. After controlling the empire for such a long time, he still didn't believe that he could not control the pen!

So Emperor Chongzhen immediately replied to Hailanzhu: "Okay, I promise you!"

Hai Lanzhu actually knew that her request was a bit excessive, but her sister, brother, and aunt all died at the hands of Huang Taiji. She felt guilty, so she just wanted to take revenge, so she asked without thinking too much. After speaking, she came to her senses and felt that she had embarrassed the emperor. When she was about to withdraw her request, she saw Emperor Chongzhen's reply.

Hai Lanzhu couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then she was overjoyed. If Emperor Chongzhen was in front of her, she would probably rush forward and kiss him wildly. In this chat group, she was so blessed that she immediately chose an emoticon that she had never used before, and sent a private message A bunch of heart emojis passed by.

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but smile when he saw it. He could feel the excitement in Hai Lanzhu's heart. He remembered something and continued: "Your Eqi Ge is still in Ningyuan and said that he would wait until you come to the capital together again."

After hearing this, Hai Lanzhu's excitement subsided a little. After saying a few more words, she quit the chat group. She wished she could grow wings and fly back to Ningyuan and the capital immediately.

Emperor Chongzhen clicked on Liu Wang's icon and asked her to tell Bu He that Hai Lanzhu was safe. Then I learned about the situation of the guard posts in the Western Liaoning Corridor, and asked Zuo Yingxuan, Sun Chengzong and others. After a long discussion, I felt that the situation in the Western Liaoning Corridor was controllable and the reform of the military system of the guard posts could be implemented.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen ordered them to prepare first, and then he withdrew from the chat group.

At this moment, a chamberlain came to report that Wang Yongguang, the official minister, was waiting for orders outside the palace. As soon as Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he knew what was going on and sent an edict to see him.

Wang Yongguang was a courtier from the Wanli Dynasty and a veteran of the Four Dynasties like Sun Chengzong. He is now over 70 years old. In the original history, there is no official history and he is a controversial figure.

At this time, he originally had the idea of ​​retiring from old age and returning home, but he did not expect that the current emperor's new policies came one after another, which made him feel a little dizzy. In particular, the reorganization of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the expansion of government offices to the township level were unprecedented in previous dynasties. This kind of thing involves the Ministry of Personnel. If it is done well, this generation of Ministers of the Ministry of Personnel will definitely be written into the history books.

In addition, Emperor Chongzhen gave him a task before, regarding the recovery of Liaodong. It can be said that the problem of establishing captives in Liaodong originated during the Wanli period and was a concern for all officials in the Wanli period. Now that I see the hope of regaining Liaodong and do something for it, it can be regarded as a wish.

Based on the above, Wang Yongguang gave up the idea of ​​retiring and returning to his hometown, and continued to shine in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

In the Wenhua Hall, after the ceremony, Wang Yongguang presented a memorial with both hands and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have selected thirty-two people from the local counties in Liaodong, including two Jinshi and twenty-two people. There are eight Gongsheng students. Their brief experiences are all in the memorial. Your Majesty, please read it!"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but frown. Gongsheng was a student in the Imperial College. Logically speaking, he was just a scholar with both good character and learning. It’s hard to say whether today’s Imperial College is excellent both in character and academics. As a county magistrate, you have to use Gongsheng?

Perhaps seeing Emperor Chongzhen's frown, Wang Yongguang immediately went on to explain: "I heard that he was going to Liaodong to be a county magistrate. Among the Jinshi, only two Jinshi were willing to go, and the rest used various excuses to shirk it. I retreated. Secondly, after selecting the candidates, there is still a gap between the quotas required by His Majesty, so we have to choose again from among the tribute students."

"Haven't they all been waiting to be an official, to have real power?" Emperor Chongzhen said with some dissatisfaction, "They refuse so, do they not want to be an official?"

After hearing this, Wang Yongguang hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Your Majesty, I heard that everyone would rather go to the south of the Yangtze River to serve as the mayor of the township than to go to Liaodong to be the county magistrate!"

Thanks anniexie for the tip!
