"What do you mean is that I can only agree to give money and food?" Chongzhen said with an ugly expression.

Zhou Yanru said: "I think I can give them some money and food first, and wait until the army arrives at the capital to replenish the remaining money and food. In this way, the court will not be stretched because of taking out a large amount of money and food at once."

"Then let the Ministry of Revenue prepare." Chongzhen said in a bad tone.

Zhou Yanru said: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue may not be able to rely on it anymore. Otherwise, you should take out some money and grain first, which is considered to be borrowed by the Ministry of Revenue."

"The Ministry of Revenue has taken away so much from me. I have never returned it once. I still have to make my own ideas. If I let all the money be given, what else do I have to do!" Chongzhen said angrily.

A penny stumped the heroic Han. Since Chongzhen ascended the throne, he asked for money and food every day. The treasury, which was originally a little saving, has been spent almost all, and the treasury is almost only available but not in, which is not as high as the income he had when the emperor was in power.

"Your Majesty, the most urgent thing is to be on guard against tiger thieves. Others can be said in the future. As long as the tiger thieves are solved, are you still afraid that there will be no money or food available? Then the money and food from the south can be transported to the capital smoothly." Zhou Yanru persuaded.

Chongzhen's face, sitting on the dragon couch, changed several times.

Finally, he said with a dark face: "According to my dear, I will temporarily take out part of the treasury from the treasury to solve the problem of Liaodong soldiers and generals, but as long as the tiger thieves are solved, the Ministry of Revenue must return it immediately."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will stare at the Ministry of Revenue. As long as the Ministry of Revenue has money and food, I will return it to Your Majesty immediately." Zhou Yanru promised, and also breathed a sigh of relief.

If Chongzhen insisted on not paying the money and grain from the treasury, he wouldn't know what to do.

Fortunately, everyone is happy now. As long as the troops from Liaodong arrive, he can continue to be the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty with peace of mind.

Chongzhen agreed to take out the silver, and the Ministry of Revenue quickly contacted the silver. Zhou Yanru personally watched it. As soon as the silver arrived at the Ministry of Revenue, he only took a walk and immediately sent it to Liaodong.

The people who carried the silver were a soldier and a team of Jinyiwei from the Beijing Camp.

The team escorted the silver from the capital, traveled to Tongzhou, Jizhou, Zunhua, and finally went directly to Shanhaiguan through Jizhou Town.

However, as soon as this silver transportation team arrived in Tongzhou, they were targeted.

The Ming Dynasty was a sieve, and no news could be retained.

Before the money came out of the Ministry of Revenue, the route of transporting the silver was leaked.

"Have the person sent to investigate the news back?" Wang Zixing asked someone beside him.

The other party replied: "Not yet."

"It's been so long, why haven't you come yet? Didn't you say that the government army will take this road?" Wang Zixing looked at the distance from time to time.

When he learned that the government army would entrust a sum of silver to leave Beijing, he personally brought a team of men to set up an ambush in Tongzhou, preparing to intercept the silver.

"There is no mistake. There is only such an official road nearby. If the official army wants to go to Jizhou, they can only walk here. And with so much money, they can't walk on other roads at all." The person next to him said with confidence.

After hearing this, Wang Zixingan held back the anxiety in his heart, simply sat on the ground, took out his pipe, and used the help of smoking to relieve his tension.

After almost a bag of cigarettes, a horse galloped in the distance.

When the cavalry approached, they flew out of their horses and shouted in their mouths: "The government army is here, there are still five miles."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zixing stopped smoking and knocked out all the tobacco in his eye pot, twisted it out with his feet, and said, "Tell us people, prepare to fight."

Someone ran to convey orders to others.

Wang Ziyi bent down and listened to the official stance in the distance, holding a sled gun in his hand.

After about half an hour, I finally saw the Ming army appearing from one end of the official road. Walking in front were about ten Jinyiwei, behind were the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp, and at the same time were the flags of the Beijing camp.

The ambush place was specially selected by Wang Zizhe.

In addition to the suitable ambush here, another reason is that he needs time to recruit people from all over the place to participate in this ambush.

Because the time was too short, he only collected more than a hundred people.

Because time is too tight, I only have time to prepare two tiger squat cannons. As long as other cannons are not available, and it is not convenient to transport them to Tongzhou. After all, cannons are too conspicuous, unlike tiger squat cannons that are easy to carry and hide.

As the Ming army's team got closer, Wang Zijie's palms began to sweat.

Although he had killed many people, it was the first time he had faced the Ming army head-on. Even the Ming army in front of him had only three or four hundred people.

Beep! Beep!

Wang Zi blew the copper whistle hanging around his neck, and at the same time he picked up the musket in his hand and fought at the official army on the official road.

Not only him, but the people lying here fired the muskets in their hands.

These people did not fire the muskets in a row like the warriors in the Tiger Flag Army, so the sound of the guns was a bit messy, and the time for firing the guns was also front and back.

In addition, the distance was a bit far, not many Ming army officers and soldiers were killed, and most of the guns were shot empty.

"Enemy attacks, enemy attacks!"

One of the soldiers in the Ming army hid in the opposite direction as soon as the gun sounded.

The team of hundreds of people in Beijing scattered with a loud bang.

I have never been to the battlefield. When the gun sounded, I ran away. No one left at all to think about counterattacking. Even the generals of the Beijing camp who led the troops rode away immediately.

On the contrary, the dozen people from the Jinyiwei looked more steady. Although they were also hiding, they obviously did not run around like the soldiers in the Beijing camp, but retreated to the civil servants who led the team.

Two of the Jinyiwei helped out the civil servants in the sedan chair, and led the civil servants to retreat with the people from the Beijing camp, while watching the direction of the muskets vigilantly.

As for the sedan chair carrying the sedan chair, he had already left the sedan chair and ran away at this time.

"How could there be bandits here! How could there be bandits?" When the civil servant was helped out from the sedan chair by the Jinyiwei, he kept repeating this sentence.

His legs were like noodles, and he kept sagging on the ground.

"Sir, this is not an ordinary bandit. With so many muskets, I'm afraid I've encountered powerful bandits." Jinyiwei said nervously.

He had no intention of saying that there were so many bandits who had firearms, it was probably because they had gone up the mountain to become bandits.

It is very important to have a few muskets in an ordinary bandit camp. Only officials can produce such a large number of muskets.

"kill!"

As the shouts of killing came out, Wang Zizhe led hundreds of people to rush out.

At this time, the front end of the musket in Wang Zixing's hand had a bayonet, and the others around him were the same. They all carried bayonets to chase the fleeing officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp.
