Chapter 158: Four Guards Camp Returns to Beijing

"Your Majesty, there is good news from Shanxi."

Wang Chengen held the memorial in his hand, walked into Dongnuan Pavilion, and said with a smile: "The Four Guards Camp, under the command of Mao Chenglu and Kong Youde, led the main force of the unit to escort the traced stolen silver and part of the proceeds from the suppression and returned to the capital in advance.

"

"Send it up."

Emperor Chongzhen, who was busy at home, heard this, put down his ink brush, looked at Wang Chengen and said, Mao Chenglu and the others returned to the capital early, which was indeed beyond his expectation.

Wang Chengen did not dare to delay, and immediately walked forward and presented the memorial.

The previous corruption crackdown in Shanxi caused civil unrest in Shanxi. This made Emperor Chongzhen very angry. His intuition told him that it must be the work of local officials.

However, many things happened in the aftermath, which made Emperor Chongzhen deeply feel that if there were not enough troops in the Gyeonggi area, he would be put into a passive position in case of emergencies.

Looking at the letter in his hand, the smile on Emperor Chongzhen's face gradually grew. He didn't expect that Mao Chenglu and the others would gain a lot from this trip to Shanxi.

"I really did not misjudge them."

Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "The imperial mission team led by Li Banghua has carried out the anti-corruption campaign in Shanxi very well, and the situation has been effectively controlled.

Here at the Fourth Guard Camp, we have successfully suppressed civil unrest in various places.

Except for some elites who were left behind and continued to be driven by Li Banghua and others, the main force followed Mao Chenglu and others to escort and trace the proceeds of corrupt officials, even the proceeds of suppression, and set off back to Beijing.

When Mao Chenglu and others lead their troops back to Beijing, all resettlement matters under the rule of Beizhili, including disaster relief, will be ensured."

Three years after arriving in Chongzhen, it was not a good year for Emperor Chongzhen. The constant thunder made him very passive.

Fortunately, Emperor Chongzhen was well prepared, so the overall situation did not fall into a desperate situation.

Emperor Chongzhen's attitude towards the current situation is very clear: to stabilize the rebellion in Shaanxi and Liaodong, and to use all means to weaken the rebels in the two places.

As long as these two powder barrels no longer explode anytime and anywhere like before, then the overall situation in the Ming Dynasty will be relatively stable.

"Speaking of it, Mao Chenglu and the others are serious."

Emperor Chongzhen put down the memorial and said to Wang Chengen: "I know that the Yongwei camp led by Zhou Yuji may be in a difficult situation in Shaanxi.

Everyone is thinking of sending some elites to escort a batch of confiscated grain and grass to Zhou Yuji's headquarters. Why do you need to accuse me of this kind of friendship?"

Emperor Chongzhen did not care about the accusations submitted by Mao Chenglu and others, and it was even more impossible to blame him.

I will be outside and my orders will not be accepted.

Under such a background of extremely poor communication means, if you don't dare to make the decision in everything and want to intervene in the foreign military, then sooner or later there will be big trouble.

Moreover, Emperor Chongzhen felt very pleased with the actions of Mao Chenglu and others. At least the friendship he emphasized during the lecture on martial arts in Xiyuan was remembered by these people.

If you want to change the political ecology of the elite and the military, you must start from many aspects. Mao Chenglu and the generals who went to the Jiangwu Hall for further training are one of them.

In the chaotic situation of the Ming Dynasty, if this group of people could conquer according to the order and be promoted through military exploits, it would be inevitable to be awarded a title.

After Emperor Chongzhen transformed the original group of honorary relatives and added these new groups of honorable relatives, when the time was right, he would be able to have a showdown with the civil servants.

'The changes in people like Mao Chenglu have been great.'

Emperor Chongzhen looked at these memorials in front of him and thought to himself: 'The situation in Shaanxi is relatively stable now. If we continue to shed the blood of Jianlu, we must speed up our strategy.

After Mao Chenglu and others return to Beijing with their troops, they must make corresponding adjustments to ensure that the many arrangements planned around Liaodong can achieve maximum effectiveness.'

Due to the limitations of communication conditions, Emperor Chongzhen, who was in Beijing at this time, did not know what was happening in Shaanxi. The situation took a turn for the worse and fell into another kind of passivity.

The Yongwei Battalion led by Zhou Yuji has already set off urgently and is marching towards the territory of Xi'an Prefecture. The bandits have rushed 800 miles ahead of the rebellion and are on their way to the capital.

If rogue forces like Wang Jiayin break through the city of Xi'an, or even fight in Hanzhong, they will break out of the encirclement of the Ming army and take more initiative. They may fight in Sichuan or Huguang, no matter which one it is.

The situation is too harmful to Daming.

"Have Wang Banban, Yan Yingyuan and other scholars all set off to leave Beijing?"

Emperor Chongzhen, who did not know the situation in Shaanxi, looked at Wang Chengen and said: "In addition, is there any secret report from Lu Qing? Is there any progress on the matter of the remnants of Bailian?"

Wang Chengen bowed slightly and said: "I would like to report to the emperor that Yan Yingyuan and the others have left the capital and rushed to the Daming Mansion. As for Governor Lu, no corresponding memorial has been submitted yet."

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. Is there any discrepancy in the matter of Bai Lian?

However, Emperor Chongzhen believed in Lu Xiangsheng's abilities. A mere remnant of the White Lotus was no match for Lu Xiangsheng, let alone the Tianxiong Army.

Other Chongzhen emperors could not guarantee it, but Lu Xiangsheng had no problem in taking advantage of the disaster relief and the remnants of Bailian to secure his position as governor of Zhili.

As long as this planning and deployment is achieved, the layout around Beizhili will be initially achieved, which will lay a solid foundation for the subsequent development of Beizhili and lay a solid foundation.

"Is the momentum of the resettlement of the disaster victims here at Huangzhuang still stable?" Emperor Chongzhen picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and continued to ask.

"These fleeing victims, affected by the disaster and the bandits, left their homes and fled to Beizhili in order to survive, so we must give them confidence."

"Report to the Emperor."

Wang Chengen leaned forward and said: "According to the situation reported by Huangzhuang in various places, the emotions of the resettled victims are relatively stable at present.

Therefore, we provide work-for-relief and ask these disaster victims to organize themselves and do some things within their capabilities. When the subsequent factories are completed, they will all be absorbed."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he smiled happily. Now, the imperial village under the control of the inner factory, including the convenience stores and carriage shops opened in various places, have all played a good role.
