Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 181 Big Harvest
After thinking for a while, Hong Chengchou raised his head and played seriously: "Your Majesty, I believe that Chen Qiyu, the former governor of the five provinces, can be the governor of the three sides."

To be honest, the risk is very high for him to recommend Chen Qiyu, a criminal official who was dismissed from office and exiled to the frontier.After all, it was Emperor Chongzhen who made this punishment back then. As a courtier, recommending such a criminal official, wouldn't it mean that your previous punishment was problematic!
If it were Hong Chengchou before King Qin, he would not do this.But after this period of contact, Emperor Chongzhen had already won his trust, so he didn't have to worry about his personal interests. He only recommended the criminal officer Chen Qiyu purely from the issue of Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen was slightly taken aback when he heard it, and then recalled the memory of Emperor Chongzhen in his mind, and remembered this impression of Chen Qiyu.

Seeing this, Hong Chengchou added a reason: "Your Majesty, this Chen Qiyu has suppressed rogues before, and his achievements are good, and he has a deep understanding of the root causes of rogues. It's just that he doesn't know enough. The court doesn't have the strength to appease the rogues." A bandit who returned to his hometown to work as a farmer, that's why he rebelled again. Of course, he also lacked a little responsibility afterwards, so that he deserved to be punished by His Majesty for doing something wrong."

After this Chen Qiyu served as the governor of Yansui and wiped out the famous thieves in northern Shaanxi, he wrote a letter to the court about the famine in several towns in northern Shaanxi. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen exempted the land rent in Yan'an, Qing'an and other places at that time.

As a result, he released those ordinary thieves back home, at least during his tenure, he did not make trouble again.Because of this, it gave him an experience that these thieves were forced to rebel, and as long as they were given a chance, they would repent and reform themselves.

Therefore, in Chen Qiyu's life, he made a big mistake. He released the gangsters who had nowhere to go and had to surrender. There was not enough force to deter them. As a result, these gangsters rebelled immediately after they got out of trouble, and finally became his official position. The main reason for resignation and exile on the frontier.

But no matter what, he still has a way of suppressing the thieves.

After hearing Hong Chengchou's words, Emperor Chongzhen nodded slightly when he remembered Chen Qiyu's information.

Speaking of it, Chen Qiyu's basic thinking is not a problem, and he has the ability, at least he can suppress the thieves, but as Hong Chengchou said, he lacks a little responsibility.But it can't be all his fault. At least at that time, the original Emperor Chongzhen didn't give him a sense of security. He wanted to find someone to be a scapegoat, which was a choice that ordinary officials would make.

As for the matter of recruiting the bandits, if you don't know the situation in later generations, it's really hard to say right or wrong.After all, there are some bandit leaders who have been contributing to Daming since they were recruited, fighting everywhere until they died for their country.And there are some thieves who rebelled after being recruited, and cheated the recruiting officials by the way, such as Chen Qiyu.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen remembered that right after the end of the war against the captives, he had sent Jin Yiwei to go south secretly, and sent an order to Xiong Wencan, the prime minister of the five provinces, asking him to send Zhang Xianzhong to Beijing.

Regarding Zhang Xianzhong, Emperor Chongzhen was actually a little confused.

Judging from the original history, he surrendered and rebelled, and later established himself as the emperor. This kind of person is stubborn and can be killed directly.

However, after the fall of the Ming Dynasty and the entry of the Qing Dynasty, it was the Daxi Army he founded as the main force against the Qing Dynasty. His adopted son Li Dingguo became a famous anti-Qing hero and a national hero in later generations!

From this perspective, was the Daxi Army, that is, Zhang Xianzhong, forced to rebel?Emperor Chongzhen was a little uncertain.Of course, the performance of the Daxi Army later can also be said that Zhang Xianzhong died in the hands of the Tartars. Therefore, his adopted son realized that the Manchu Tartars were the main enemy, and only then did he unite the Ming Dynasty to resist the Qing Dynasty.

However, it’s hard to say for others, such as Sun Kewang, who failed to seize power and finally surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, but Li Dingguo was very loyal to the Southern Ming court. less than the extent.For Nanming, it is really necessary to serve the country loyally and die.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen decided to recruit Zhang Xianzhong and several of his adoptive sons to the capital, and he had to see them with his own eyes before deciding how to deal with Zhang Xianzhong and others.

These things flashed through Emperor Chongzhen's mind, and then he said to Hong Chengchou: "Okay, according to what Hong Qing said, I decided to call Chen Qiyu back and talk to him face to face. If I am satisfied, I will let him go." To take over the post of Governor-General of the Tripartite."

When Hong Chengchou heard this, he was also happy in his heart. After all, the governors of the three sides are the officials of the frontiers, and just because of his words, the candidate was decided.It can be seen from this that he holds a very heavy weight in the emperor's heart.Therefore, he is also looking forward to what his new position will be?
However, he did not expect that Emperor Chongzhen would entertain him.Emperor Chongzhen looked at him and said: "Hong Qing is good at dealing with officialdom and military affairs. Therefore, I need you to help me appease a place. But it's not right now. After a few days, I will talk to Qing again." Talk about it."

"..." Hong Chengchou was speechless when he heard this, but although he was not happy with what the emperor said, he couldn't force the emperor to say it, so he could only bow down and obey the order.

At the same time, he was also curious, what place in the officialdom needs appeasement?Also know that soldiers need to be transferred from the trilateral governorship?The land of Gyeonggi Province, Hebei or Shandong?But these places are now under the jurisdiction of Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng!
After thinking about it, he couldn't figure out, where would he be sent?
Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting, who were listening, were also curious, but they also couldn't figure out what Hong Chengchou's new official position would be.
They were guessing in their hearts, but Emperor Chongzhen had already turned his head to look at them, and said to the two of them: "The focus of the two lovers should be on the military. As for civil affairs, I have two talents, and I will arrange to help the two. .”

After saying this, he said it directly without waiting for the two of them to ask.He turned his head to look at Sun Chuanting and said, "Zuo Yingxuan used to be the county magistrate of Changli, and he was able to unite the people of a small county to resist the Tartar army's attack for several days. From this we can see that he has a good grasp of the hearts of the people. I have issued a decree to summon Zuo Yingxuan before, and plan to appoint him as the governor of Shuntian, who will be full-time in civil affairs and share the pressure for you, okay?"

Sun Chuanting listened, thought for a while, and then replied: "Your Majesty, if this person is not in line with the minister's wishes and conflicts with him, can he be restrained?"

In theory, he is the governor of Jiliao, the governor of Jieshuntian and the governor of Liaodong.But since the emperor attached so much importance to Zuo Yingxuan, he was a little worried, so he asked directly.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't care about his rectum, and said with a slight smile: "Of course, Qing is the main one. If there is a conflict between him and Qing's strategy, Qing will tell me, and I will transfer him away."

After receiving this guarantee from the emperor, Sun Chuanting had no further objections.As for the governor of Liaodong, in fact, he has no jurisdiction, he has an official title, and he is in Shanhaiguan, so he doesn't think about it at all.

Originally, Governor Ji Liao also had Governor Baoding under his command.However, just last year, that is, in the 11th year of Chongzhen, the imperial court newly established the governor of Baoding, who was separated from the governor of Jiliao, and had jurisdiction over the four governors of Baoding, Tianjin, Shandong, and Denglai.This is Lu Xiangsheng's new official position.

Of course, in the original history, the purpose of the new governor was to focus on the inland area, and the main duty was to guard against thieves.But now, Emperor Chongzhen has changed his intentions, and the governor of Baoding's focus is actually to deal with Jianlu.

Seeing that he had nothing to say, Emperor Chongzhen turned his head to look at Lu Xiangsheng and said, "The same is true for Lu Qing. Chen Hongxu, the prefect of Jinzhou, and Lu Qing know about it. I decided to promote him as governor of Denglai. How about sharing the pressure?"

Lu Xiangsheng had a good impression of Chen Hongxu, and had contact with him before.But now there was Sun Chuanting's questioning in front of him, so he didn't need to ask any more, just bowed down to accept the order.

When the monarchs and ministers talked about this, it was almost evening, so the Emperor Chongzhen stopped talking, and asked Lu Xiangsheng and the other three to go back to the mansion to rest first, and then he confessed to Wang Chengen: "Here, Yumajian, you should remember the king's heart. For example, I will come here from time to time, don't let me down, if you have any difficulties, just report to me!"

"Your Majesty complies with the order!" Wang Cheng'en heard it, and quickly replied, "Your Majesty's favor is granted to your servant, and let the past go, even if you have the courage, you will not dare to live up to the grace!"

"Okay!" Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "Let's drive back to the palace!"

After saying this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a line of handwriting was displayed.Obviously, this is another movement from the wiretapping system. Needless to say, there must be something good.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen watched happily.

"In troubled times, if the emperor does not have military power, he will not be able to coerce the world. If the government orders are not clear, ministers who obey the law and violate the law, arrogant generals, etc. will emerge in endlessly. Now, the host controls the military power of the most elite imperial guards in Ming Dynasty. Congratulations, reward B One level eavesdropping seed."

Seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but feel depressed. He only rewarded a second-level wiretapping seed after he had mastered the military power. Isn't it too picky?Why don't you come to a Grade A wiretapping seed?

Just as he was thinking about this, he saw that there were still words being displayed one after another, and he immediately started reading again.

"Military power is divided into several grades. The lowest level is the commanding general, who is a confidant minister. In this way, the degree of military power control depends entirely on the ability of this confidant minister. If the ability is strong, the military power is actually in control, but there is a suspicion that it will not be lost. . The relationship with the king and the ministers is not the best."

"The medium means of mastering military power is that the commanding general is a confidant minister, and the leading general is also a loyal general. In this way, the degree of military power is more firmly grasped, and there is basically no worry. This is the harmony between the king and the ministers."

"And the top method of mastering military power is to subdue the three armies. All soldiers obey the king and only recognize the king. According to the king's decree, follow one after another, march forward bravely, and have no fear even though there are mountains of swords and seas of fire."

"Now the host's mastery of the emperor's army is at the top level. Congratulations, I hereby reward a Grade A wiretapping seed as encouragement!"

Seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen finally smiled happily.Well, you system, it turns out that you are here waiting for me, hehe, I like it!

He could feel that the system should have only rewarded one eavesdropping seed, but he didn't expect that he had achieved the top level method, and rewarded an additional A-level eavesdropping seed.Of course, if it is a means of controlling military power in the middle, there will probably be additional rewards, but it is definitely not a Grade A wiretapping seed.As for the most inferior method, any king would do it, so there is probably no extra reward.

What Emperor Chongzhen didn't expect was that the text of the wiretapping system was still being displayed, that is to say, there was probably something good going on.So, he happily continued to look down.

"A good man has three gangs. Even the emperor needs the help of capable ministers. Now the host and the three capable ministers are talking to each other and making arrangements, but the three capable ministers accept it calmly. This is a manifestation of the heart of accepting the ministers. This is also It is necessary to revive the Ming Dynasty. It is gratifying and congratulatory. The reward is one Grade A eavesdropping seed or three Grade C eavesdropping seeds. The host can choose!"

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be overjoyed after seeing it. Not bad, now the system has given him the power to choose.So the next question is, is it better to choose one Grade A eavesdropping seed, or three Grade C eavesdropping seeds?
Looking at this multiple-choice question, Emperor Chongzhen thought about the future layout for a while, and immediately ordered three C-level wiretapping seeds.

"Congratulations to the host, the three Grade C eavesdropping seeds have arrived, please check!"

Emperor Chongzhen really had a bumper harvest this time. After opening and verifying, this time he received a total of one Grade A wiretapping seed, one Grade B wiretapping seed, and three Grade C wiretapping seeds.In this way, the eavesdropping seeds on hand will be more generous.

So who should it be used on?This is a question that should be carefully considered.By the way, the eavesdropping seeds that should be replaced must also be replaced.

Great harvest, this gave Emperor Chongzhen the motivation to work overtime. Although it was getting late, he thought about it, and summoned Li Ruolian, the commander of Jinyiwei, and ordered him to secretly investigate the stockpiling of grain in the capital and the surrounding areas. If the governments have hoarded a lot of food, they will investigate it secretly.

In addition, Emperor Chongzhen also gave the same secret order to Cao Huachun, the admiral of Dongchang, and asked Cao Huachun to conduct a secret investigation.Because next, there will be a big one for the grain merchants.After all, if Shanxi merchants want to check, it will take some time, but the previous 20 refugees were waiting for food, and they needed to find a way as soon as possible.

However, what Emperor Chongzhen didn't expect was that the things about Fanji Bank came sooner and more violently than he had imagined.

However, it is not surprising to imagine that nowadays these rich people, whether they are royal family members or civil servants and generals, have to complain about raising a refugee.In this way, if the Fanji Bank banknotes in their hands become useless paper, it will be like cutting their flesh, and they will definitely find reasons to recover their losses.

　I went home last night to catch up on the manuscript, and there was a typo, that is, Lu Xiangsheng's new position should be the governor of Baoding, and there is no need to create a new governor of Shandong.This governor of Baoding was newly established in the 11th year of Chongzhen, and its scope of power is similar to that of the governor of Shandong considered before, or even more.The previous text has been revised.
