Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 225 Just Waiting to Kill Pigs

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was on his way to Datong.With so many troops marching, it is certainly impossible to be invisible.

Therefore, in name, this army without the emperor's banner was just going to Datong on orders.Because Wang Pugang, the former commander-in-chief of Datong, was taken care of by Emperor Chongzhen, it is reasonable for someone to go to Datong to take over now, although the number of troops seems to be much larger.But other places in Jin had just been repaired by the three battalions. Under the cover of Hong Chengchou, the governor of Xuanda, no one dared to have any objections when troops came in and out.

Along the way, especially in Gyeonggi, Emperor Chongzhen personally experienced the desolate scene of no chicken crowing for thousands of miles and bones exposed in the wild.Especially since he is from a later life, he has seen a lot of people coming and going.Walking in this era of Gyeonggi, the feeling of desolation is even stronger.

Jianlu entered the customs again and again, causing too much damage to the land of Gyeonggi.If possible, it would be best to prevent the Jianlu Tartars from entering the pass again!
Emperor Chongzhen looked at the people's livelihood along the way with a heavy heart, and at the same time he was also paying attention to the news from the eavesdropping seeds everywhere.

Turge, who was locked in the prison of Guyuan Governor's Mansion, had a Class A wiretapping seed on him, so Emperor Chongzhen knew about King Rui right away.In this regard, he did not have the thoughts that those courtiers were worried about.

These vassal kings should have been cleaned up long ago.

Daming has raised pigs for nearly 300 years, and now it’s time for a good harvest.

Using the bank notes and food coupons from the Royal Bank of Ming Dynasty to exchange the money and food in the hands of those feudal lords was a pawn that he had long thought of.No matter what, at least it is reasonable in principle. If the vassal king has a conscience, he should actively participate in it.For the sake of the reputation of bank notes and food stamps, Emperor Chongzhen did not intend to renege on debts. This kind of thing can benefit in the short term, but it cannot be done in the long term.Just like the unlimited issuance of Daming banknotes, one can imagine what happened to them.

In the imperial decree, he acted both hard and soft, and the purpose was to get the princes from all over the country to take out money and food.If someone is ignorant, he still refuses to take out money and food.Then he doesn't mind, let's kill a chicken and scare a monkey, severely punish a feudal king, come kill a chicken and scare a monkey!
In the past, Emperor Chongzhen might not have had the confidence.But now, with the three major battalions in hand, the officials in the court have also changed a lot according to their own wishes, and even the harem has been rectified following the conspiracy.At this time, he has the confidence to do this.

Judging from his past performance, this King Rui will definitely not let it go, and maybe he will take the opportunity to have an excuse and refuse to exchange money and food for bank tickets and food coupons.If he really dared to do that, he might as well have a knife.And because he is the son of Wanli, so to speak, he is still the uncle of Emperor Chongzhen, maybe the effect will be better.

The only bad thing is that because of the sudden change of things, there was a class-A wiretapping seed in Shaanxi, but he ran to take over as the governor of the five provinces.And in that place, there was already a Grade-A wiretapping seed, so there was only the one locked in the prison in Shaanxi, and some things couldn't be grasped immediately.

After thinking about it for a while, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly took the reins and let the horse step out of the official road and onto a slope. He seemed to want to see the scenery: "Li Qing can stay with me. Others can go first." !”

When Hu Dawei, He Renlong, Wu Sangui and the supervisors heard this, they knew that the emperor had something to say to the Commander of Jin Yiwei alone, so they hurriedly avoided it.

Li Ruolian was a little curious, wondering if the emperor came here and suddenly wanted to talk alone, what was the important matter?

"Li Qing, something happened with King Rui of Shaanxi..." Emperor Chongzhen saw that only the eight servants around him could hear him, so he told him that Li Guoqi's soldiers had robbed King Rui's land rent.

Upon hearing this, Li Ruolian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, are you going to arrest Li Guoqi for questioning?"

Come to think of it, this should be the problem.The emperor personally sent Jin Yiwei there, which shows that the emperor attaches great importance to this matter, and it should be able to appease King Rui's anger.

He was thinking about this, but didn't think about it. Emperor Chongzhen shook his head and said: "Wrong, I want you to go for a trip, but it's not to arrest Li Guoqi and his subordinates. It's to see how King Rui reacts." ..."

Li Ruolian was slightly taken aback when he heard it, a bit unexpected, so he listened quietly.

"... Zheng Chongjian, the governor of the three sides, took my order and should go to King Rui to exchange the bank notes and food coupons of the Daming Royal Bank into money and food. I am worried that King Rui will find excuses to resist the order, and even Attack Zheng Chongjian, but ask Zheng Chongjian to deal with Li Guoqi and his subordinates seriously..."

When Li Ruolian heard this, based on his experience, he thought that this would happen in all likelihood!That being the case, what is the emperor going to do?
I just listened to Emperor Chongzhen continue to explain to him: "If King Rui can think about the country, put the country as the most important thing, and do what a descendant of Taizu should do, then you don't have to do anything, just stay in Zheng Chongjian's house." By your side, just watch him arrange the Hetao affairs."

Having said that, he paused, his face became a little more serious, and his tone became colder: "If King Rui only cares about his own interests, and doesn't care about the current situation of the border troops in Qin, what if he wants to take the opportunity to make trouble instead?" , he is no longer worthy to be the descendant of Taizu..."

When Li Ruolian heard this, he immediately felt that the matter might be serious, and he couldn't help but become serious. He listened attentively and did not dare to be distracted.

"...Why are the thieves in the Qin land chaotic, and the long-term peace is not destroyed? It is because there are frontier soldiers who have been delayed in paying their food and wages for a long time. I just borrowed it for a while, and they have their own food coupons and silver coupons as payment, but they still refuse to take it out, this is bad intentions..."

"..." Li Ruolian was speechless. He didn't think what would happen if the feudal prince's mansion took care of itself, but hearing what the emperor said, it seemed like a big sin.

Emperor Chongzhen stared at Li Ruolian, and continued to say in a cold voice: "If King Rui not only does not provide money and food, but instead takes the opportunity to attack the Daming border army, it will chill the hearts of those soldiers. Pawns join the ranks of rebels. Drive the frontier soldiers into the ranks of thieves, what is the difference between this kind of thing and conspiracy? I will never allow this kind of thing!"

Hearing this, Li Ruolian's sweat came down, he already understood what the emperor wanted him to do.

Sure enough, Emperor Chongzhen said sternly: "If such a thing really happens, you will take advantage of King Rui's conspiracy. As for the means, you can figure it out yourself. In short, the former King Ning was his What will happen to you, understand?"

After finishing speaking, he stared at Li Ruolian, waiting for his reply.

As the commander of Jin Yiwei, Li Ruolian actually had no choice. He also understood that if the emperor entrusted him with this matter, he could only do it without hesitation.

Furthermore, what the emperor said may not be unreasonable.Even if that King Rui really wanted to do that, he might not have the intention of treason, but he was really suspected of shaking the country and the country of the Ming Dynasty, and it would make sense to get rid of him.

These thoughts quickly flashed through his mind, Li Ruolian didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and immediately replied: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the general will know what to do!"

Emperor Chongzhen was still satisfied with Li Ruolian's reply.After all, this Commander of Jinyiwei was also promoted by him, and he is his confidant, so it is impossible to help the vassal.Therefore, he gave Li Ruolian a secret decree, and then watched Li Ruolian take the Jinyi Guards and horses away quickly, and rushed to Shaanxi to handle errands.

Of course, Li Ruolian didn't know that for this matter, Emperor Chongzhen even exchanged him for a second-level bugging seed.However, the distance may not be enough. For the timeliness of news transmission, Emperor Chongzhen sent people to Xiangyang, and asked Liu Yue, a hundred households of Jinyiwei, to also rush to Zheng Chongjian, the governor of the three sides.

After finishing this matter, Emperor Chongzhen was relieved a lot.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there have been many vassal mansions entrusted in various places.And most of them were enfeoffed in the Central Plains and north of the Yellow River, and these places were the hardest hit and the most violent.

These vassal palaces can be said to be the largest local landlords, richer than the original Emperor Chongzhen.If these landlords can provide money and food, then at least the first wave of disaster relief, or the problem of arrears of payment and food in the army, will definitely be greatly improved.If the follow-up disaster relief can be connected again, it is very likely that the problem of thieves in Daming's country can be quelled as quickly as possible.

This operation is also the confidence of Emperor Chongzhen's personal expedition this time.From this point of view, he really hoped that King Rui could continue to play his selfish style of being a vassal king and eating and waiting to die.Only by killing chickens and scaring monkeys once, will the other feudal lords obey obediently.

When Emperor Chongzhen came to Yanghe, he went to Xuanda Governor's Mansion.Of course, Hong Chengchou was not allowed to come out to pick him up in order to deceive others, otherwise, others would definitely wonder why the governor would come out to meet him!
At that time, Hong Chengchou only knew that the emperor had personally conquered the bandits, so he wondered why the emperor did not lead the cavalry to the Central Plains, but came to Shanxi instead.

But he knew that he should not ask what he shouldn't ask. In terms of being an official, his approach was different from Sun Chuanting's.

At the beginning, Emperor Chongzhen only asked Hong Chengchou about things in Shanxi.After all, sometimes, eavesdropping on seeds is not a panacea.For example, he will not read all the documents given to Hong Chengchou from various places, so it is impossible for the eavesdropping seeds to know everything that Hong Chengchou deals with.

Hong Chengchou was indeed a capable civil servant. He took advantage of the opportunity of Jindi being swept by the three major battalions to inspect various guards, assess the situation of military equipment in various places, and promote promising generals.Even because of the elimination of the eight major Shanxi merchants, as well as the local generals and tyrants who were in collusion with the eight major Shanxi merchants, a large amount of farmland was cleared out and returned to the guards.

Therefore, under such circumstances, health centers in various places are bursting with vitality. Everyone is very optimistic that with this year's harvest, health centers will no longer be hungry.

Emperor Chongzhen was very satisfied with this, and confessed to Hong Chengchou: "Take advantage of this opportunity, Hong Qing has well organized and trained the army of the Jindi Guards, and the food and wages are sufficient, and there can be no more households. How many troops have been counted, That's how many regular soldiers. I hope to use the Jin army when we conquer Liaodong and build captives in the future!"

The family system is a system that gradually formed because the imperial court was unable to support all soldiers due to insufficient food and salaries.In the military system of the Ming Dynasty, this has been the case for many years.Other frontier troops may not be able to completely abolish the family system, but in Jindi, after cleaning up the Shanxi merchants, there was such a precious opportunity that Emperor Chongzhen had to solemnly explain and explain again.

As a civil servant, Hong Chengchou can't enjoy the benefits of the family system, and he is not a general like the commander-in-chief. Therefore, his ass is also sitting on the emperor's side. Of course, he agrees with the emperor's explanation, and immediately gave it to him. Emperor Chongzhen made a promise, saying that he would inspect various places, strictly check the places, and never allow the embezzlement of farmland and military salaries to happen again.

On the Jin side, the guards are considered to be the vested interests after the Shanxi merchants are cleaned up.They stand on the side of the imperial court. Even if the imperial court is a little bit harsher on the group of Shanxi merchants this time, with the presence of various guards, it can basically maintain the stability of Jindi.

After talking about the affairs of Jin, Emperor Chongzhen explained to Hong Chengchou the reason why he led the army here.

When Hong Chengchou heard this, he couldn't help being taken aback. He didn't expect that the emperor was clearly planning to conquer the thieves, but in fact he was quietly planning to plot Hetao.I am afraid that everyone has been deceived by this trick.

Speaking of it, if the Hetao can be won, it will be beneficial to Daming, there is no doubt about it.First of all, it goes without saying that there are countless war horses.And it can attack those Mongolian tribes who have taken refuge in Jianlu, telling them that Ming Dynasty has the ability to punish them.In addition, it can also cut off the connection between Western Mongolia and Jianlu, which has many benefits.

But there is one thing. After flattering the emperor, Hong Chengchou immediately reminded: "Your Majesty, Hetao can be conquered, but you can't send troops to occupy it. In the opinion of my humble minister, I am not yet able to occupy the Hetao area. Although it is fertile, , but this fatty meat is not tasty..."

Speaking of this, he saw Emperor Chongzhen nodding his head, and he was overjoyed, knowing that the emperor did not have a great success, so he continued to play: "The Hetao was laid down, and then I, Ming, withdrew back, and vacated this piece of fat for other Mongolian tribes. It is bound to share the power of the Mongolian tribes, and it will be more beneficial for our Ming Dynasty to defeat the Mongolian tribes. If the Mongolian tribes conquer each other for the fertile Hetao, it will be even more beneficial for our Ming Dynasty. As long as our Ming Dynasty solves the problems in the pass first, we can fully To the outside world, there will be no problem in occupying the Hetao in the future!"

Emperor Chongzhen laughed and said, "I think so too!"

This is really not to save face. For him, the ideas and concepts come from later generations, and he does not have the concept of wanting to take the land of the city as his own that people of this era have.What's more, if you save land, you lose people, and you lose both people and land!
