Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 240 The King of Chu Has a Thin Waist

Emperor Chongzhen asked Zheng Chongjian to record all his memories of the plague from later generations and organize them into a book. First of all, they were distributed and executed in the army and Shaanxi.In addition, he also quickly sent it back to the capital to promulgate it to the world to prevent the plague.

Of course, at the same time, he also gave a decree to all levels of government, that is, to find the doctor Wu Youke.This person is talented in plagues, and he was able to write "Theory of Plagues" by himself in the original history, so it makes no sense that on this plane, after Emperor Chongzhen's guidance, his achievements in plagues would not be higher!
The third memorial is a recommendation memorial.

Before Emperor Chongzhen, because of the "Nongzheng Quanshu", a special agricultural department was set up to specialize in national agricultural production. Chen Zilong, who contributed books, was promoted to be the first agricultural secretary, Wailang, and he was the sixth grade.Zhang Guowei presented "The Complete Book of Water Conservancy in Wuzhong" and was directly promoted to the cabinet by Emperor Chongzhen.

Therefore, under the reference of these two examples, the eunuch Cao Huachun, the eunuch in charge of the supervisor of ceremonies, insisted, and sent it to Emperor Chongzhen to make a decision on this matter: Jiangxi Fenyi County Instructions, Juren Song Yingxing presented the book "Tiangong Kaiwu" .

This "Heavenly Creation of Things", I believe many people in later generations have heard of it, was published in Chongzhen ten years ago.At that time, Song Yingxing felt that his official career was hopeless, and it was just an instruction.So dive into miscellaneous learning.He even directly explained in the preface of this "Heavenly Creation of Things" that "a beggar with a great career, a literati, throws away his desk, and this book is about fame and fame, and has nothing to do with it."

But he never expected that at the beginning of Chongzhen's 12th year, things would turn around, and the emperor's decree came down to ask for talent. "Nongzheng Quanshu", "Wuzhong Water Conservancy Complete Book", these were originally publications that he thought had nothing to do with official career, and were similar to his "Tiangong Kaiwu".But he did not expect that these two books were so valued by the emperor.Therefore, with a little expectation, he also rushed to the capital to present this "Heavenly Creation".

Emperor Chongzhen had read novels written in the late Ming Dynasty, and he had heard of the name "Heavenly Creation of Things" at that time.At this time, he flipped through the "Tiangong Kaiwu" that was delivered together with the memorial. It must be said that this book made a systematic summary of the technology at this time and formed a complete scientific and technological system. .

"Not bad, not bad!" Emperor Chongzhen looked at this "Heavenly Creation", and couldn't help but praise repeatedly, "This Song Yingxing is the pillar of my Ming Dynasty, and he was almost buried!"

When Zheng Chongjian heard the emperor's high evaluation, he couldn't help being a little curious, what was written in the book here?

He was thinking about it, but Emperor Chongzhen approved it in the memorial with Zhubi, giving Song Yingxing the same background as Jinshi, imitating the agricultural department, and creating a Kaiwu department, with Song Yingxing as the first member of the Kaiwu department, Wailang, the sixth grade.

In this way, Song Yingxing was originally a low-ranking official with no rank, but he was promoted to the sixth rank in one fell swoop, and he was only from a family background.Anyone who sees this appointment can feel that the emperor attaches great importance to Song Yingxing!
The reason why Emperor Chongzhen paid so much attention to it was not because later generations heard about the reputation of "Tiangong Kaiwu".Rather, he saw that Song Yingxing systematically summarized science and technology, so he wanted to give him a good environment for him to further refine the details of Tiangong Kaiwu, and it is best to go deeper into the details of Tiangong Kaiwu. , trace the source, innovate and improve again, thus forming a real science and technology system with Ming characteristics.

Putting down the imperial pen, Emperor Chongzhen was in a good mood. He smiled and said to the curious Zheng Chongjian: "This Song Yingxing, what he said in the preface is so sad and poor! If you want to buy strange textual research, but you don't have the capital to do so; It’s a bit fake, but lacks Chen Sizhi’s house. Hehe, I’ll give him money and a government office in the future, and even I can personally guide him. I hope he won’t let me down!”

"Your Majesty is well-educated. If Song Yingxing can get His Majesty's advice, he will surely gain something!" Zheng Chongjian replied with a smile on his face, "I don't know if I can read this book."

If you want to read a book, of course there is no problem!Emperor Chongzhen nodded immediately, and then he began to think about some technologies of later generations to see how they fit this era.For example, if you want to do that thing yourself, or let Song Yingxing take care of it, maybe it will be better.

As he was thinking, Zheng Chongjian had already looked quickly.As for Li Ruolian, he also walked over without any trace, and looked around.

In his heart, he is actually very envious of those who can do learning. If they write well, not only will they leave a name for future generations, but they will also be appreciated by the emperor and rise to the top.

At this moment, Li Ruolian couldn't help but have a thought in his heart, should he write a book on how to solve the case, how to interrogate, how to spy on the news?

In fact, not only he had this idea, but Zheng Chongjian also had the idea of ​​writing a book after reading it.

This is just like the so-called "The king of Chu is so slender, so many starved to death in the palace", the emperor's preferences can greatly affect Daming!

Afterwards, Emperor Chongzhen read a summary memorial about what happened during his visit to the capital during this period, such as Bi Maokang's appointment in the capital, the daily situation of the Royal Bank of Ming Dynasty, the prince's study and so on.

Regarding these, he read them as soon as he saw them, and did not specifically approve them.

In the evening of that day, a fast horse galloped up to report that Li Zicheng's bandits from the south had already entered Henan.

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately issued an order and set off southward the next day.

Li Zicheng, who has already proposed "equal land and no tax", is significantly different from other thieves, which can be regarded as the beginning of Li Zicheng's transformation.If someone else travels through time, they may still be happy to see the success.But the key issue is that I have timetraveled and become the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. This is to win the hearts of the people and win the world, so I must destroy him as soon as possible.

At the same time, Chen Qiyu, the new governor of the five provinces, has arrived in Xiangyang to take over Xiong Wencan's position; while Xiong Wencan left Xiangyang for the capital under the escort of Jin Yiwei.

The first thing Chen Qiyu had to do was naturally take the Yongwei Battalion as the basis, and then he ordered the generals to go to Governor Xingyuan to discuss the encirclement and suppression of the bandits.

After this order came to the chief soldier Zuo Liangyu, he didn't leave immediately, but hesitated.

There is no other reason for hesitation, because he is afraid!
Although Chen Qiyu didn't seem to have the intention of punishing him, he just asked all the generals to discuss the encirclement and suppression of the thieves.However, he knows his own affairs, he is afraid!

Earlier, the emperor issued a decree, saying that Zu Kuan, the commander-in-chief of aid and suppression, was the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty, but he looked like a bandit and robbed the people. Make a decision and pass on the first nine sides.

Later, Wang Pu, the commander-in-chief of Datong, refused to obey the command of his superior, that is, Lu Xiangsheng, and fled privately.

Zuo Liangyu has done everything that the two killed generals did.According to the current emperor's temper, he didn't think that the emperor would look at him high, so he let him go.

In the original history, Zuo Liangyu was ambushed in pursuit of Zhang Xianzhong this time, so that he lost his helmet and armor, and was defeated. Therefore, he was demoted to the third rank and made a contribution to the crime.

Therefore, Zuo Liangyu was worried that the imperial court would deal with him no matter from that angle.If it was changed from the past, he is not worried, because the first one is that there are people in the court, and the second is that the court can fight not many troops, so this is one of them.He believed that with his strength, the imperial court would not dare to do anything to him.

However, two general soldiers have been killed in front, which shows that the emperor will not let it go because of the strength of the army.Otherwise, how could Wang Pu's Datong army not know that Zu Kuan's army is not weak in combat effectiveness.

Worried, he summoned his generals to discuss matters.

"Now the new governor of the five provinces has ordered me to go to Xiangyang to discuss matters immediately, but I am worried that something will happen. What do you think?" Zuo Liangyu looked at the generals under his command and asked.

His subordinate Zhang Yong clasped his fists in confusion and asked, "Commander, why are you so worried? Isn't the imperial court afraid of turning us back?"

After hearing this, Zuo Liangyu explained the reason for his worry.

The reason for being so frank is that firstly, these people present are his confidantes, and secondly, his plundering of places cannot do without these generals.If the court really wanted to punish Zuo Liangyu severely, then these generals would definitely not be able to escape.

After Zuo Liangyu finished speaking, he sighed and said, "Originally, Lord Hou was able to speak in the court, but a few years ago, he was impeached by Song Zhipu and other traitors and imprisoned Lord Hou for wronging the country. Originally, Lord Yang It is good for us to be entrusted by Lord Hou, but now, Lord Yang is executed by the emperor again, and there is no one in the court!"

The Lord Dehou he refers to is Hou Xun, a member of the Donglin Party. When he was the governor, he took in Zuo Liangyu, who had been dismissed for violating military regulations, and in just one year, he , promoted him to deputy general, that is, deputy commander-in-chief, and this was how Zuo Liangyu would lead the army in the future.It can be said that Hou Xun is Zuo Liangyu's biggest benefactor.

In the original history, this time Zuo Liangyu was defeated in a big battle, but he was able to take the blame and make meritorious service, basically without any influence, and it was also because Yang Sichang tried his best to protect him.But now that Yang Sichang was killed, there were fewer people in the court, so Zuo Liangyu couldn't help but not worry.

If it weren't for someone in the imperial court, in the original history, he had repeatedly supported his own self-respect and refused to obey orders, but he was fine in the end, while He Renlong later imitated him, but ended up being killed. This is the difference.

Therefore, after hearing what Zuo Liangyu said, the generals present couldn't help but fell silent.They felt that the difficulties this time seemed a little sad.

Suddenly, Zhang Yong waved his hands in a round circle, and said with a little excitement: "Damn, since you want to force us, it's better to reverse it! I don't believe it. What can we do!"

Obviously, in his opinion, one of the big reasons why the imperial court wanted to punish them was that they had the Yongwei Camp as their reliance.

When he said such rebellious words, no one was surprised among the people present. It seemed that such words were not surprising to them at all, and even another general immediately echoed: "Yes, since the imperial court wants us to fight , and they don’t pay the army, and if we don’t go grab it, are we going to starve to death? Such an imperial court will be finished sooner or later, and it will be brought down by the motherfucking!”

He found a reason for himself, which sounded reasonable, but he selectively forgot, was it forced by the court to kill the good and pretend to be meritorious?Was the imperial court forced to plunder civilian women on a large scale?Not to mention embracing the self-respect of the soldiers, fighting against the wind if they don't listen to orders, and not willing to fight tough battles.

Zuo Liangyu heard his subordinates yelling, but he didn't care, he just glanced at the generals below, and suddenly said: "Crossing the sky, what do you mean?"

Chuang Ta Tian is a nickname, his name is Liu Guoneng, he was originally one of the leaders of the bandits, and he also surrendered to the imperial court during Xiong Wencan's recruiting this time, and belongs to Zuo Liangyu's subordinates.Now that Zhang Xianzhong and others rebelled again, he did not rebel, but Zhang Xianzhong and others rebelled again, which still caused a lot of pressure on him.Because many people suspect that other gangster leaders have already rebelled, and he, the gangster leader, might want to rebel too.

At this time, he seemed to be thinking about something, but Zuo Liangyu didn't respond for a while, and Zuo Liangyu was upset, so he raised his voice again, and after repeating a sentence, he came back to his senses.

"Ah, the final general will naturally listen to the commander!" Liu Guoneng replied hastily cupping his fists.

Zuo Liangyu thought about the same, so he nodded and said: "The emperor is fatuous and incompetent, and he can't manage Daming himself well, so he put the blame on us warriors. After suppressing the rebel army for so many years, this commander can be regarded as seeing clearly. It's over. Hehe, the emperor is still thinking about the imperial conquest, who does he think he is, leading the army to fight, is it a joke? It's the first time to go out of the palace, to play prestige? Daming will be defeated by him sooner or later!"

What he said was even more outrageous, and at the same time, he had already expressed his attitude.But none of the generals present felt surprised.

Zuo Liangyu is a bachelor now, and he belongs to the kind where one person is full and the whole family is not hungry. His family members, just at the end of last year, when he led the army of his cronies to leave, were mutinied by the remaining soldiers. , and wiped out his whole family.

At this time, after talking for a while, seeing the expressions of his subordinates, he was satisfied in his heart, so he raised his voice and said: "Since the emperor has no way and is ruthless to us, then don't blame Zuo for being unrighteous. Get out of this Desire, dare to pull the emperor down. Brothers, we will have the same blessings and difficulties in the future, and fight for the big one. The emperor, a young boy, will definitely ruin the few elites of the court. We will unite with the eight heavenly kings and the others. How about destroying the emperor together and taking over the world?"

Obviously, those who led the army did not believe that the emperor was leading the army for the first time, and he could fight a good battle!
"Haha, in the future, maybe the commander-in-chief will be the patriarch of the new dynasty, and we are all founding fathers!" Zhang Yong also laughed and was the first to agree.

When the others heard it, they all agreed.

Seeing this situation, Zuo Liangyu suddenly turned cold and shouted: "Since that's the case, shall I take the military supervisor's sacrificial flag and break into the sky?"

"The little one is here!" Liu Guoneng waited for orders when he heard it.

Zuo Liangyu looked at him and ordered: "How about you contact Huang Hu and Cao Cao immediately for me?"
