Chapter 178: The good generals are like clouds, the bow and horse are solid

Regarding the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen was still very clear in his heart. He did not collapse in one area, but in all aspects.

If you want to get rid of the bad situation, you must have enough patience. After all, the foundation of Ming Dynasty is very rotten. The slightest big move will lead to a more serious situation.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen should promote more reliable officials and generals on the premise of checking and balancing the court and stabilizing the situation, so as to create a reliable basic base and reverse the situation bit by bit.

"After stabilizing the situation in the court and planning the deployment in Liaodong, it's time to find a way to stabilize the chaos in Shanxi and Shaanxi." When he came to the hanging map, Emperor Chongzhen narrowed his eyes slightly and muttered: "Being put on hold

The feeling of being roasted on the fire is really unpleasant. You have to think of everything in advance, otherwise the power of the rogue bandits will be unchecked."

Currently, the rebels are still wreaking havoc in the Shanxi-Shaanxi area, mainly concentrated in Shaanxi, and have not yet formed the momentum to move around and wreak havoc.

What Emperor Chongzhen had to do.

Compared with the rogue bandits that swept through half of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen would rather let the Shanshan area be beaten to pieces than let the rogue bandits sweep through Henan, Huguang and other places, eventually causing the fall of Zhongdu.

In the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, rebellion was the least expensive thing to do. He gathered the elites who could fight, shouted a few slogans, coerced the hungry and red-eyed people, and attacked the Ming army who were in arrears with pay.

If you can't beat them, then run away and look for opportunities later. Under such a premise, the situation in Shaanxi is becoming increasingly corrupt.

The root cause of this large-scale peasant uprising, in addition to the consecutive natural disasters in Shanxi and Shaanxi, is the intensification of taxes imposed. The local government colluded with the powerful gentry to impose exorbitant taxes and exploitation, and carried out land annexation, which completely deprived the people there of their livelihood.

This situation is caused by the intensification of class conflicts.

During the Little Ice Age, the Ming Dynasty asked Emperor Chongzhen to spend extra money and food to appease the bandit leaders who had seen blood. It was just a matter of beating dogs with meat buns.

The ambition of the bandit leader who has already enjoyed himself will swell.

Wang Jiayin, Wang Ziyong, Gao Yingxiang and other bandit leaders were considered powerful forces known to the court, while Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were either on the road to rebellion or struggling to develop.

How to solve the existing problems in Shaanxi is what Emperor Chongzhen must solve, but this is also difficult for Emperor Chongzhen.

Because the methods he came up with cannot be carried out openly. After all, he is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He cannot express his position clearly and kill the greedy gentry. The more he kills, the more rewards he will receive from the court. I dare to say this.

, it won’t be long before the entire Ming Dynasty rebels.

The butt determines the head.

Taking advantage of the current situation of rogue bandits, which has not yet reached the so-called period of major riots, Emperor Chongzhen must check and balance the court as soon as possible, stabilize the situation, and then try to establish a layout in Shanxi, Shaanxi and other places.

A relatively mature plan was taking shape in Emperor Chongzhen's mind.

"Your Majesty, Cao Huayu has returned to the capital." Wang Dehua hurriedly walked into the official room, cupped his hands to Emperor Chongzhen who was standing with his hands behind his back and said, "He is waiting at the Meridian Gate with several generals."

Whatever comes to mind!

Emperor Chongzhen turned around, pointed at Wang Dehua and said: "Go and bring Cao Huayu and the others to me immediately."

"Here!"

In the current chaotic situation like the Ming Dynasty, a good future is most needed to stabilize the situation. Before planning the land of Shanshan and Shaanxi, Emperor Chongzhen must accomplish two major things.

One is Liaodong.

One is Jingying.

At present, the deployment in Liaodong is being implemented one by one. The shift from strategic offense to strategic defense can help the court reduce a lot of pressure.

If the three major battalions guarding the capital can be completely reorganized, it will also reduce a lot of pressure on the court. After all, there are too many soldiers who are eating empty pay and drinking blood.

In the context of the financial imbalance in the Ming Dynasty, the two things of "increasing revenue" and "reducing expenditure" are what Emperor Chongzhen must do well.

Only by using the Ming Dynasty's precious finances in truly useful places and expanding the base of actual control can the situation be reversed bit by bit.



Cao Huayu, whose thoughts were a little confused, followed Wang Dehua's footsteps and headed towards the Qianqing Gate. In order to fulfill the emperor's decree, he had suffered a lot these days.

Cao Wenzhao, Zuo Liangyu, Huang Degong, these generals who were named by the emperor, were found by him one by one. During his return to the capital, he encountered some things that made Cao Huayu feel uneasy.

The sudden appearance of the inner factory and the western factory were all under the control of Beizhili. Cao Huayu was also aware of some of the commotion caused by this.

His younger brother Cao Huachun was previously...

"General Cao, the military aircraft is here." Wang Dehua, who was leading the way, stopped and said to Cao Huayu. Cao Huayu woke up instantly with these words.

Cao Wenzhao, Zuo Liangyu, Huang Degong and others who were following Cao Huayu were inexplicably excited at this time. How could they not be excited when they were about to see the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Following Wang Dehua, he walked into the official room of the Military Aircraft Department. After seeing Emperor Chongzhen, everyone led by Cao Huayu hurriedly bowed their hands and said, "Greetings to your Majesty!"

Emperor Chongzhen, who was sitting on the dragon throne, looked at the people behind Cao Huayu, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he secretly said in his heart, these people must be Cao Wenzhao and the others.

That's enough, that's enough.

Before cultivating professional soldiers who are out of work, it is enough to ask them to help you share some of the pressure and support the situation in the Ming Dynasty without further corruption.

"Forgive me." Emperor Chongzhen said calmly: "Cao Huayu, thank you for your hard work this time. You helped me find these good generals. I am very relieved."

"It is my duty to share your Majesty's worries."

Cao Huayu hurriedly raised his hands and bowed.

At present, the framework of Xiyuan's martial arts lecture hall has been set up. Generals such as Zhou Yuji, Chen Jisheng, and Mao Chenglu have begun to collide with each other to explore the further education and training mechanism that Emperor Chongzhen wanted.

When meeting good generals such as Cao Wenzhao, Zuo Liangyu, and Huang Degong for the first time, Emperor Chongzhen must exercise appropriate restraint and not reveal his attitude too much. He must always keep one string tight so that they can stay positive. momentum.

"Over there in Xiyuan, I founded a martial arts hall."

After briefly chatting with Cao Wenzhao and the others, Emperor Chongzhen said calmly: "Just follow me. Whether you have real ability or not, we will first establish a reputation in the martial arts hall. I hope you don't call me me." Disappointed, I will decide whether to use it or not based on your performance."

"Here!"
