Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chongzhen's blood pressure kept rising because of his anger.He supported his forehead, sat on a chair, pointed at Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui who were kneeling in the hall, and said coldly: "Put them both in prison, and then severely punish the Guanning army who came back with them. Interrogation, I want to see what is the reason for this big defeat, more than 5 people, including the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion sent by me, there is not a single one left, all of them were defeated.

Now that the main force of Bandit Zhao is not in Xuanzhen, I really can't believe that just one partial division can beat my [-] army like this. "

"Your Majesty, you can't. You have to work hard without merit. Think twice, Your Majesty!"

As soon as Wu Xiang heard that Chongzhen was going to put herself in prison, she panicked all of a sudden.

Wu Xiang knew exactly where the Imperial Prison was. When Emperor Tianqi was still in power, Wei Zhongxian built up the Prison. He did not know how many people were locked in the Imperial Prison, and no news was ever heard of.

The cloud of Tianqi years has not completely dissipated, and now he is going to be imprisoned, how can Wu Xiang not panic.

After Wu Sangui heard Chongzhen's voice, he fell limply to the ground with a look of despair.

Chongzhen looked at Wu Xiang coldly, with no expression on his face, "When you enter the Imperial Prison, no one is allowed to come closer."

"His Majesty!!!"

Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui shouted at Chongzhen with mournful expressions.

But Chongzhen was not moved in the slightest, and his face was still gloomy.

"Leadership!"

Gao Qiqian beside him saluted Chongzhen, and then walked out of the imperial study.

Not long after, a group of Dongchang Fanzi and Jinyiwei Xiaowei rushed in, took their arms and walked outside, while Gao Qiqian stayed by Chongzhen's side.

After Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui were taken out, Chongzhen said: "Let the elders of the cabinet and the six ministers come to the imperial study to discuss the matter, and see what to do next!"

For a few quarters of an hour, the elders of the cabinet and the six ministers all stood in the imperial study room.

"Do you know the news of the army's defeat?" Chongzhen looked at these ministers and asked.

These ministers stood in the hall of the imperial study with gloomy faces, and none of them said a word.

When Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui entered the palace, these people already knew the news of the army's defeat.

"Which of you can tell me now, what should I do next? Now that the army is defeated, what should the court do next?" Chongzhen looked at these people with a gloomy face.

These ministers looked at me and you for a while, but they didn't dare to speak.

The entire imperial study room was so silent that no one dared to speak first.

That's right, the [-] army is gone, so it's useless to say more now.The [-] army can't stop Xuanzhen's partial division, so what can these civil servants come up with?

Seeing these ministers who hadn't spoken for a long time, Chongzhen's face gradually turned ferocious.

"Trash, what a bunch of rubbish. Normally, when you impeach others, you can speak better than each other. Now that you are asked to speak, why are you all dumb? Ah? Talk to me, are you dumb?"

Chongzhen walked back and forth after the imperial case, yelling at the minister impatiently.

At this moment, Liang Tingdong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, the most urgent task at present is to quickly mobilize the remaining troops in Liaodong, bring back Sun Chengzong and Sun Ge, and let him sit in the capital to defend against possible attacks by the rebels!" Liang Tingdong said.

After Yuan Chonghuan was Lingchi by Chongzhen, Chongzhen transferred Sun Chengzong to Liaodong.

The Liaodong defense line was set up by Sun Chengzong, and he has some prestige in Liaodong.

Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang were his subordinates before.

When Chongzhen transferred Wu Xiang and Zu Dashou to the capital, Sun Chengzong stayed there in order to guard against Jianlu taking advantage of the situation to attack Shanhaiguan at this time, and Sun Chengzong now has nearly [-] soldiers and horses in his hands.

"Liang Shangshu's words are correct, and I also think that Sun Chengzong and Sun Ge should be transferred back from Shanhaiguan.

Now the white pole soldiers are only seven or eight days away from the capital, and when the two soldiers and horses are combined together, they will definitely be able to protect the safety of the capital! Wen Tiren also hastily agreed.

Unexpectedly, when Chongzhen heard this, not only was he not happy at all, but he sneered, "Hehe, you are really thinking well, to transfer Mr. Sun Ge back?

If Sun Ge is transferred back, should Shanhaiguan still be guarded?Besides, even if Sun Ge is transferred back, can the rebels be stopped?

The rebels wiped out [-] troops in one day, so what's the use of bringing old Sun Ge back? "

"Your Majesty, I think that the rebels will not attack the capital in a short period of time. The current capital is still safe!" Wen Tiren thought for a moment before speaking.

"Hehe, you're not a rebel, how do you know you won't attack the capital?" Chongzhen directly turned back.

"Okay, you guys go down first. Pass on my will, and hold a grand meeting tomorrow. After you go back today, you will show me a charter to see how to deal with the current situation."

Chongzhen pointed to these officials and said with a helpless face.

.........

At the same time, in a tavern in the outer city of Beijing, a middle-aged scholar wearing a black round-neck shirt and a square flat crown was sitting in a private room on the second floor of the tavern having lunch.

"Master, just now came the news that the [-] army led by Hong Chengchou to wipe out the rebels was defeated, and there was no one left. Only Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui and his son escaped back."

At this moment, a middle-aged man who was about his age and dressed in sackcloth ran in from outside.

The people who ate were none other than Sun Chuanting who was in Daizhou City before.

Sun Chuanting looked at the housekeeper who hurried in, put down the chopsticks in his hand, "Oh, this is not what I expected!"

"How did the master see it?" the butler asked.

Sun Chuanting shook his head and heaved a sigh of relief, "When the rebels attacked Daizhou City, I still remember that scene vividly.

These rebels are not comparable to those of the Jianluliu thieves. No matter how powerful the Jianluliu thieves are, the weapons they use are similar to ours. Even if we lose, at least we have the ability to fight back.

If it doesn't work, you can win by numbers.But what about Zhao Wen?Even if the imperial court sends an army of 50 or [-], it is estimated that they will not be able to defeat him.No matter how many people the court sent out, under the artillery bombardment of the rebels, no matter how powerful the army was, it would collapse.

Zhao Wen, you can't judge it with common sense! "

"My lord, isn't there anyone in the Ming Dynasty who can control Bandit Zhao? Our Ming Dynasty has lasted for nearly 300 years, is it possible that it will be gone now?" The housekeeper looked at Sun Chuanting anxiously.

Sun Chuanting said: "If the court doesn't change its current mentality, I'm afraid it won't win at all.

Now Zhao thief is attacking Shanxi, and Shanxi is about to fall into Zhao thief's hands.

After taking Shanxi, Zhao thief's strength will definitely increase greatly. "

The housekeeper asked: "Then what should we do? What should the court do? Could it be that we just watched the Zhao thief break through the capital? People are dying?"

"If you want to deal with Bandit Zhao, you need to reform. You need to carefully study how Bandit Zhao got to this point, and how he managed a poor Xuan Town so prosperously that he can deal with the entire imperial court with a single town.

If these things are not clarified, the imperial court has no possibility of winning at all. The only way to figure out how Zhao Thief grew up to this point is to make reforms to Daming based on Zhao Thief's growth experience.

Only in this way can Daming be prosperous, and only in this way can Bandit Zhao be eliminated. Otherwise, it would be impossible to eliminate Bandit Zhao. After Sun Chuanting finished speaking, he looked at the housekeeper again, "Bring me all the newspapers I have accumulated. I want to study them carefully and see if I can find some clues about the rise of Thief Zhao from these newspapers." "

Although it is impossible for the Daming Newspaper founded by Zhao Wen to be published in all the cities of Daming, Shanxi Town is not far from Xuanzhen, so Shanxi Town is also within the distribution range of Daming Newspapers.

Although the officials in Shanxi Town are very repulsive to the Da Ming Pao and often shut down the Da Ming Pao, after all, the distance between the two is not far, no matter how these officials ban it, some Da Ming Pao will always be circulated.

The contents of the newspaper are not only about criticizing the gentry, but also explaining some policies about Xuanzhen, as well as information about job recruitment and people's livelihood, as well as some big and small things that happened in Xuanzhen.

For many gentry, these contents in the Ming Dynasty newspapers were just regarded as jokes, and they never had a deep understanding of them, and they were unwilling to understand them in depth.

The fact that other gentry are unwilling to delve into it does not mean that everyone is unwilling to delve into it. Sun Chuanting usually likes to read the Great Ming Pao. Almost every issue of the Da Ming Pao will try his best to get it in his hands, and it will also be stored. Always do some research.

Although Sun Chuanting has never been to Xuanzhen, nor has he had any contact with Xuanzhen, but as the business of the factory in Xuanzhen continues to grow, there are not a few people in Shanxi Town who go to Xuanzhen to do business, so Sun Chuanting more or less You can get some news from other people's mouths.

Moreover, Xuan Town is closely connected to Shanxi Town, and Sun Chuanting has heard many things about Xuan Town.

Sun Chuanting believes that he can definitely crack the secret of Xuanzhen's rise by relying on the content in the newspaper and his previous understanding of Xuanzhen.

Not long after, the housekeeper came to Sun Chuanting with a cloth bag.

Chapter 416 Preparing to Send Surrendered Officials to Japan

After Sun Chuanting got the newspaper, he went back to the hotel room by himself.

Because he has only been in the capital for a short time, Sun Chuanting has not found his place yet.

Sun Chuanting sat at the table in the center of his room and put all the newspapers in the cloth bag on the table.

On one side of the newspaper were several sheets of rice paper, pens and ink.

Sun Chuanting picked up a newspaper, frowned and read it carefully.

When the sun rose the next day, Sun Chuanting walked out of his room with a pair of huge dark circles under his eyes.

After a night of research, Sun Chuanting seems to have found the secret of Zhao Wen's rise.It's just that Sun Chuanting feels that he still has something he hasn't grasped, but he himself vaguely feels that this thing is very important to him.

After walking out of the door of the room, Sun Chuanting found his housekeeper.

"How do the houses in the capital look? It's not the same thing to live here all the time." Sun Chuanting said in a deep voice.

The housekeeper hurriedly replied: "Go back to the master, I have almost found it, and now the house is being cleaned up, and it is estimated that I will be able to live in it in a few days."

Sun Chuanting nodded, then walked outside.

At the same time, Zhao Wen has also pacified the entire Taiyuan Mansion.

It's just that the only fly in the ointment is that the governor of Shanxi was not caught and he ran away.

But this is nothing, after all, Jin Wang's family was caught by him.

"My lord, now that Taiyuan Mansion has been completely taken down, and the routs in the city have been cleaned up, what should we do now?" Zhao Wen sat on the throne in the main hall of King Jin's Mansion, and Li Xiaosan stood in the center of the main hall, watching To Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wendao: "Since that's the case, then we can't waste any more time here. Let's take a rest today and go south tomorrow."

Li Xiaosan clasped his fists at Zhao Wen and was about to turn around and leave.

The moment he turned around, Li Xiaosan seemed to remember something, he turned his head again and looked at Zhao Wen, "My lord, what should we do with the officials who surrendered in the city?

There are quite a few of these officials. In addition to the chief envoy of Shanxi, there are also officials such as the inspector, the prefect of Taiyuan, and so on.

The number of these officials who surrendered is quite large. "

When Zhao Wen's subordinates broke through the Governor's Yamen, many officials in the Taiyuan Mansion saw that the situation was over, and except those who were captured after endless fighting, the rest basically surrendered.

Moreover, there are quite a few people who surrendered. After all, Taiyuan Mansion is the provincial capital of Shanxi, and there are still a lot of officials, big and small.

Li Xiaosan's question stumped Zhao Wen. These civil servants were basically people who couldn't lift their hands or shoulders. If they were asked to build the railway, even if they were exhausted, they would not be able to exert much effort.

Obviously, it is not suitable for these civil servants to repair the railway.But it wouldn't be appropriate if these civil servants were clicked.After all, they came here by surrendering, and besides, I just snapped these people up like this, who will surrender in the future?

Although no one in the whole world can stop my weapon, I try not to use it as much as possible. After all, I have beaten the city to pieces, and I have to spend money to repair it in the end.

But it's not appropriate to just let them go.Most of these civil servants are trash, and there are more than half of the reasons for the entire Ming Dynasty to fall into this state.Letting them go like this, Zhao Wen was really upset.

"These civil servants can't be killed, but I just let them go like this. I'm really upset. Let's send them away. These people are not very talkative. I think it's better to let them go to Japan."

After much deliberation, Zhao Wensi finally came up with such a solution.

A long time ago, Zhao Wen gave Sakata Arui a team, and he has been sending letters back for a while.

Today's Sakata Arui is also a famous and tyrannical party in Japan. Relying on the manpower provided by Zhao Wen, Sakata Arii quickly conquered many places, but because of the shortage of manpower, although these places were occupied by Sakata Ariel The well was taken down, but no real governance was started.

After all, the people assigned to Sakata Arui were soldiers. Although there were some counselors, the number was too small. Besides, these counselors had to manage the army and had no time to govern the local area.

Governing a place is more difficult than conquering a city. With Zhao Wen's support, Sakata Arii attacked the city very quickly.

If it weren't for the fact that there is no one to govern the place, I'm afraid Sakata Arui would have attacked the city even faster.

Before Zhao Wen set off from Xuanzhen, Sakata Arii wrote to ask Zhao Wen to assign him some civil servants who could govern the place.

But because Zhao Wen was going to fight at that time, and because Zhao Wen didn't have many literati in his hands now, and Zeelandia City and Java also needed manpower, how could he spare manpower to send to Japan?

Therefore, this matter was shelved by Zhao Wen.

Now that Li Xiaosan asked how to deal with these officials who surrendered, Zhao Wen couldn't help thinking of the letter from Sakata Arii.

The students cultivated by the university must be given priority to Daming, and Zhao Wenke is reluctant to send the students he has cultivated with great difficulty to these places.

But it is different now. As Zhao Wen continued to attack the city and seize territory, the number of civilian officials captured has also increased.

Although many of these civil servants are governed by Xiao Gui and Cao Sui, there is nothing outstanding, but what Zhao Wen wants is Xiao Gui and Cao Sui.

Let these civil servants build the basic framework for local governance first, and then deal with these matters after capturing the entire Ming Dynasty.

Although these civil servants have caused great harm to Ming Dynasty, but these civil servants are all Confucian children after all, they can be admitted to Jinshi and they are very familiar with Confucian culture.

Let these civil officials go to the Japanese country to teach the Confucian culture to those Japanese people, let them speak Chinese, but it is possible to write Chinese characters.

Officials who are not good at governing the local area, then let you teach, at least teaching is no problem.He has taught books in the country of Japan for more than ten years, and strives to completely integrate the country of Japan with Confucian culture.

What's more, not all civil servants are waste, and there must be civil servants who can govern the place.

From the inside, officials who can govern the local area are selected, and some students selected from the university are selected, and the Wa country can also be governed.

After all, the Wa country is only that big, the population is not very large, and it is convenient to govern.
