Asking Wen Tiren to lead the troops to Henan before was just to punish Wen Tiren and vent his dissatisfaction.

Chongzhen also knew that letting Wen Tiren go to Henan would be useless at all, and would have no effect on the situation in Henan.

Many officials in the imperial study looked at each other, but none of them dared to speak up.

Zhang Zhifa turned his head to look at the officials in the imperial study, and when he saw no one stood up, he had no choice but to stand up.

He had just been appointed as the chief assistant of the cabinet by Chongzhen. Although he was only acting temporarily, he was also the chief assistant of the cabinet.

If we don't say anything at this juncture, I'm afraid Wen Tiren's present is Zhang Zhifa's future.

Zhang Zhifa stood up, saluted Chongzhen, organized his words, and then spoke solemnly.

"Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei got Xuanzhen's weapons from Xuanzhen before, and the British Duke also demonstrated the power of these weapons.

Judging from the results displayed at that time, Zhao thief's weapons were extremely fierce and could kill people hundreds of feet away.

If there is a field battle with Xuanzhen soldiers and horses, our army has no chance of winning.Moreover, even if more soldiers and horses are added to Henan, no matter how much they increase, they will not be Zhao's opponent.

Similarly, according to the information we have now, there are powerful artillery in Xuan Town. These artillery have a powerful effect when attacking the city, and can easily blow down the city wall.

In this way, the defense of the city will not work. "

Zhang Zhifa shook his head, looking at Chongzhen solemnly.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what do you think should be done?" Chongzhen looked at Zhang Zhifa impatiently.

Based on what he said before, Zhang Zhifa slowly sketched out an imperfect plan in his mind.

Because of the rush of time, Zhang Zhifa spoke slowly at the beginning, but he became more and more fluent as he spoke, "Your Majesty, whether it is a field battle or a battle to defend the city, the imperial court is no match for Zhao Thief. All the troops in Henan were broken up into pieces, and they fought guerrillas against Zhao thieves in the mountains and villages.

Neither the field battle outside the city nor the city defense battle is the opponent of Zhao thief, and the court is definitely not the opponent of Zhao thief if they fight with them upright.

However, in field battles, even if they are not Zhao thief's opponents, they can still harass them, making them exhausted all the time.

Chen had studied the strategies of Zhao thieves before, and found that wherever they went, they would provide a large amount of food and supplies to support the local people.

That being the case, why wouldn't the court let those soldiers disguise themselves as ordinary people and ask the Zhao thief for food and supplies?Moreover, the imperial court can be more ruthless. Before Henan is captured by the Zhao thieves, the local officials in Henan can hand over all the supplies hoarded by the Henan government to the capital.

In this way, within three months, the local food price will definitely soar.Food prices are soaring, and the common people are bound to be excited.

At that time, as long as the people are incited and said that the mistakes are all Zhao's thieves, then the people will naturally become the vanguard against Zhao's thieves.

Even if the people dare not do anything to Zhao thief, the people in the whole Henan can eat Zhao thief.

Zhao thief has 20 troops in his hands, and the food and grass consumed by these 20 troops every day is not a small amount.These 20 troops plus the people in Henan consume an unimaginably huge amount of food and grass every day.

I think, no matter how powerful Zhao thief is, it is impossible to conjure food out of thin air. "

After Zhang Zhifa finished speaking, he took a deep breath and cupped his hands towards Chongzhen, "Your Majesty, this is the only way I can think of to deal with Bandit Zhao."

Zhang Zhifa's voice fell, and the imperial study room fell into silence.

Including Chongzhen, everyone in the imperial study was lost in thought.

To be honest, Zhang Zhifa's method is indeed a good one, but the premise of this method is that Zhao Wen does not have strong logistics and transportation capabilities.

If Zhao Wen didn't have strong logistics transportation capabilities, then the people in a place in Henan would be able to eat up the military rations that Zhao Wen transported to the front line and eat up Zhao Wen.

However, the railway has now been built to Taiyuan Prefecture. Although it has not been built to the territory of Henan, it is much closer.

Therefore, the grain in Xuanzhen can be transported to Taiyuan, Shanxi within a short period of time.

Zhao Wen farmed a lot of land in Xuan Town, hoarding a lot of grain, and Java, Southeast Asia and Taiwan Yuan Island continuously sent grain to Dengzhou, so even if the imperial court used Zhang Zhifa’s method, for Zhao Wen, the impact would be huge. Not too big.

But Chongzhen and others don't know these things, they don't know these things.

The eyes of the officials in the imperial study gradually lit up, and the expressions on their faces were no longer as panicked as before.

Although this method is not perfect, it is the most effective and least laborious method at the moment.

After a long time, Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief, "Zhang Aiqing's method sounds good, but it is still a bit difficult to implement!"

Chongzhen felt that this method was really good. Now that Zhao Wen could not be defeated militarily, he could only find a way in other places.

Although Zhang Zhifa's method still has some flaws, it is more than twice as good as Wen Tiren's bullshit method.At least Chongzhen thought so.

"Your Majesty, I think Mr. Zhang Ge's method is very good!" Liang Tingdong, Minister of the Ministry of War, stood up and cupped his hands at Chongzhen.

Bi Ziyan, Minister of the Household Department, also stood up, "Your Majesty, this method is really good.

Bandit Zhao is different from rogues like Li Zicheng, in that rogues like Li Zicheng don't take care of the lives of the local people whenever they go to a place. For rogues like Li Zicheng, these people are just a burden.

But this Zhao Wen is different, he will not let the local people do nothing, he will give food to the local people.

Although this method is very good and very benevolent, it is also the Achilles heel of Zhao thief.As long as a large number of people have no food, then thief Zhao has to find a way to provide food for these people.

If Zhao thief does not provide food, or half of the food is not provided, then Zhao thief will not be able to establish rule in the local area.

As the saying goes, Shengmi is kind to Miqiu, if Zhao thief can't satisfy the appetite of these people in the future, then Zhao thief is bound to fall apart! "

Bi Ziyan was the Secretary of the Household Department of Chongzhen. He was good at increasing income and reducing expenditure. Because he dealt with money and grain all the year round, he was very keen on these matters.

When Liang Tingdong and Bi Ziyan opened their mouths, the officials in the imperial study all spoke to Chongzhen in a hurry.

It is said that this method is the best method at the moment, the most suitable method, the most economical method, and the method with the least effort.

Chongzhen also passed this method amidst the voices of these people.

"Although this method is good, there are still some flaws. After you go back, discuss this method with me. Before the palace gate is locked tomorrow afternoon, you must show me a detailed and complete charter. "

Chongzhen waved his hands at these people in the imperial study room, and said calmly.

When the officials heard this, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

From the moment they entered the imperial study, these officials were trembling and dared not move or speak.

Now that Chongzhen finally let them go out, they felt relieved.

The scene where Chongzhen dealt with Wen Tiren just now really frightened them, they were afraid that Chongzhen would deal with them like Wen Tiren.

These officials kowtowed and worshiped Chongzhen three times and nine times, and then walked out of the imperial study.

Zhang Zhifa walked out of the imperial study room, he looked at the sun hanging in the western sky, his face was full of worry.

"Hey, is the current imperial court still an imperial court? Although the method I proposed is good, it will be a disaster for the people in Henan and other places.

Is a court that doesn't care about the people still a court? "

Chapter 585

"Sigh, after reading the sage books all my life, I ended up doing my best!" Zhang Zhifa let out a long sigh, and then walked towards the distance.

Liang Tingdong, Minister of the Ministry of War who followed Zhang Zhifa looked at Zhang Zhifa's back and murmured: "In the cabinet, Zhang Zhifa has the least sense of existence, but I didn't expect this Zhang Zhifa to be so capable, and to think of such a thing in a short period of time." a way.

Although the method is not perfect, but compared to Wen Tiren, it is already very good. "

……

Wen Tiren came to the door of his house in a daze, he looked at the door of his house, his right hand slapped on the copper ring of the door in a daze.

"Bang bang bang!"

A dull voice sounded from the door and passed in.

Not long after, a servant opened the door, and he recognized Wen Tiren just as he was about to ask.

He hurriedly opened the door, and looked at Wen Tiren respectfully, "Why is the master released so early today? The younger one didn't pick up the master in time, and I hope the master will make amends!"

As if he didn't hear the servant's voice, Wen Tiren walked around the servant and walked inside.

Wen Tiren didn't speak, didn't show much expression, and walked towards the inside in a daze.

The servant looked at Wen Tiren with a strange look on his face. "Master, what happened today? How could it be like this?"

The servant didn't have time to think deeply, so he rushed to the mansion in a hurry.

"The master is back, the master is back!" the servant shouted in the yard.

Wen Tiren prides himself on being as clean as water, so his house in the capital is not big, just a small courtyard with three entrances.

Few of the chief ministers of the cabinet like Wen Tiren, the head of civil servants, would live in the small three-entry courtyard.

The yard is also very simple, without any gorgeous decoration.

The servant's voice spread out, and it didn't take long for it to spread throughout the courtyard.

Wen Tiren's old wife came out from the backyard, followed by two elderly maids.

"Why did you come back so early?" Wen Tiren's wife looked at Wen Tiren with doubts on her face.

Normally, Wen Tiren came home very late, even when it was dark, it was normal.It was the first time I wanted to go home so early today.

Wen Tiren didn't look at his wife, walked past her in front of her, and walked towards the study.

"What's going on?" Wen Tiren's wife looked at Wen Tiren in confusion.

"What's wrong? Bewitched?" Wen Tiren's wife muttered, and hurriedly followed behind Wen Tiren.

Wen Tiren came to the door of the study and walked in directly.

Wen Tiren's wife wanted to follow Wen Tiren in, but as soon as Wen Tiren entered, he slammed the door of the study.

"Could it be that something difficult happened?" Wen Tiren's wife murmured, then reached out and knocked on the door of the study.

"roll!"

As soon as the knock on the door sounded, Wen Tiren's angry shout came out.

Wen Tiren's wife stopped and hurriedly asked, "What happened? What's wrong with you?"

"I told you to get lost, didn't you hear?" Wen Tiren shouted angrily, and then there was the sound of something falling.

Wen Tiren in the room overturned everything on the desk, his face was full of despair and anger.

"It's over, it's over. I have been in the capital for more than ten years, but I ended up like this, so much.

Bandit Zhao, you and I are at odds with each other, we are irreconcilable! "Wen Tiren supported the desk, pointing at the sky and cursing angrily.

"Husband, what's wrong with you? How did you become like this? Come out!" Wen Tiren's wife was so anxious that she shed tears, standing outside the study, begging Wen Tiren constantly.

"What's the matter, what's the matter, what's the matter, what's the matter, what's the matter!" Wen Tiren's tone was full of anger, he opened the door of the study, and yelled at his wife, "I'll tell you what's the matter, my The position of the chief assistant of the cabinet is about to disappear. Your Majesty asked me to lead 2000 troops to Henan to fight against Zhao Bandit. Where is Henan? It is the front line against Zhao Bandit. Who is Zhao Bandit? He has 20 troops in Shanxi. I took 2000 people to Henan, this is to die, to die!"

After Wen Tiren finished speaking, as if drained of strength, he sat on the threshold of the study, panting heavily.

"How did this happen? How did this happen? How could His Majesty issue such a decree?" Wen Tiren's wife panicked when she heard this, and she burst into tears.

"The decree has arrived!"

At this moment, a high-pitched and shrill voice came in from outside the door.

As if struck by lightning, Wen Tiren stood up from the ground in a jerk.

"So soon, so soon, the imperial decree came so soon, Your Majesty really wants me to die!" Wen Tiren looked towards the place where the voice came from, his face was full of frustration and death.

He really didn't expect that the imperial decree arrived home just as soon as he returned home.

If there is no imperial decree, it means there is still a chance. Although the emperor speaks well and speaks well, if there is no imperial decree, no matter what he says, he can take it back.

But it's different with the imperial decree. Once the imperial decree is issued, it means that the matter has reached an irreparable point.

"It's not right, it's not right, it's not right. If Your Majesty hadn't found a way to fight against Bandit Zhao, it's impossible to pass down the imperial decree at this time." Wen Tiren shook his head repeatedly.

In Wen Tiren's view, if Chongzhen had not found a way to deal with the Zhao thief, he should still be discussing with the officials in the imperial study room how to deal with Zhao Wen. There is no reason to convey the imperial decree so quickly.

"Could it be that who came up with a way to deal with Zhao thief?

This is impossible, and this is even more impossible.Zhao thief has an army of 30 in Shanxi, no matter what method he can't deal with Zhao thief.

Bandit Zhao's strength is not something that the imperial court can compete with. Even if all the soldiers and horses of the imperial court are assembled, it is just to kill Bandit Zhao. How could I figure out a way to deal with Bandit Zhao during the time I came back? ?

Is there any way in this world to deal with thief Zhao?I don't understand, I don't understand, I really don't understand! "Wen Tiren kept shaking his head, he didn't believe that anyone would come up with a way to deal with Zhao Wen in such a short time after he went home.

"Wen Tiren hastened to accept the order!" Another high-pitched and shrill voice sounded.

Wen Tiren came back to his senses, and hurriedly said to his wife: "Hurry up and prepare the incense case, and receive the order immediately!"

Wen Tiren's wife nodded, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and hurried to the backyard with the maid behind her.

Wen Tiren tidied up his appearance, adjusted his mentality, and walked outside.
