Chapter 515: Chongzhen's Anger


In the series of battles between Gaogezhuang and Xiaoxishan, although in terms of casualties, Lu Hanqiang's Ming army was more than twice as high as the red flag.

However, there were three brigades that died in this battle, and two brigades that were disabled, among which Jin Hengguang's broken army lost 2,000 casualties, and Zhao Xiaoming's reinforcements lost nearly 4,000 casualties, but only less than 1,000 were wounded, which shows how tragic this battle is.

But on the whole, it was the victory of Lu Hanqiang's Lu Jiajun, and it was a real victory.

In this battle, the annihilation of the main force of the red flag was 4,07, and there were eleven Jiannu at the Ezhen level alone, the highest of which were left and right Melle Ezhen Achanga and Su He, which was equivalent to cutting off Yue Tuo's right arm, which was the biggest gain.

When this great victory was reported to the capital, there was thunderous cheer in the capital again, including the eunuchs and palace maids in the Forbidden City, who walked much more briskly, and could talk and laugh softly.

Chongzhen's mood was very good, not only smiling and brisk steps, but also having the heart to accompany the old ladies to chat for half an hour, and he smiled and said nothing about the small actions of the palace maid and eunuch.

After asking Lu Hanqiang's mother who lived in the palace, he walked back to the imperial study with the battle report, the earth dragon in the imperial study was burned very well, in fact, not only the imperial study, but even the earth dragon in the entire Forbidden City was burned very well, this was the first time since Chongzhen took the throne that it was so wasteful.

In fact, it's not Chongzhen's waste, because what is burned in the earth dragon is not his Chongzhen's charcoal.

Since the first day when Mrs.

Lu entered the palace to accompany the old ladies to talk, Lu Hanqiang's housekeeper Zhang donated 10,000 stones of good coke to Chongzhen, just this one hand, it is more than 60,000 silver, but Steward Zhang also repeatedly told Wang Chengen, you can use it vigorously, if you don't have it, donate it.

Wang Chengen is also rare and generous this time, not only all the palaces in the Forbidden City are as warm as spring, but even the rooms of the most miserable little palace maids and little eunuchs at the bottom are also used for the first time in the charcoal brazier, anyway, he knows that as long as Mrs.

Lu and Ruyu don't leave, this Steward Zhang will have to send them to the palace in a steady stream.

When he entered the imperial study, before his ass sat firmly, there was a report from the little eunuch, and Zhou Tingru, a cabinet scholar, asked to see him.

After the current Chongzhen cabinet first assistant Li Peugeot, the important position of the first assistant is vacant again, which is abnormal at this very moment, and it is also crucial, which has led to the almost stagnation of the Ming dynasty.

It is strange to say, when the original first assistant was in power, everyone was already fighting for this position to the point that people's heads were beaten to the point of dogs' heads, even if Wen Tiren and Zhou Tingru of the same party began to rectify each other, but this time Li Biao vacated the position, and no one was eager to take on it, which simply surprised everyone, of course, if there are eyes.

In fact, there is a reason why everyone does not fight for this position, Jiannu abused Gyeonggi, at this very moment, everyone knows that with today's temper, one person must be taken out afterwards to blame the person for negligence, and whoever is the first assistant is equivalent to preparing to be detained, so this risk must not be taken.

As soon as he thought of the first assistant candidate, Chongzhen had a headache, it seemed that the method of pushing the first assistant would not work, and he took out the trick of drawing lots in the golden bottle when he was just in power, how could this be like a joke.

And now the civil and military officials, due to the urgency of the war, internal and external difficulties, everyone is helpless, so in the court, everyone is a bodhisattva, not to mention those who take the initiative to see, the court meeting has just ended, this time Zhou Tingru is abnormal.

Zhou Tingru also had to come, there was really no way.

In March last year, Zhou Yanru was a scholar of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of Dongge University, so that he entered the cabinet to participate in the preparatory service, and in February he added the title of prince and Taibao, and was reappointed as a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, only one step away from the first assistant of the cabinet, for this first assistant position, he is also indomitable, and he did not hesitate to hurt each other to the point of not dying, this time he finally squeezed out Li Biao and vacated the position of the first assistant, but he also knew the situation at this time, so he temporarily died down and came back after the war.

It was rumored that Zhou Tingru came in, Zhou Tingru drove into the study in small steps, and gave etiquette according to the rules, and then after Chongzhen gave him a seat and tea, Chongzhen asked: "Is there anything important about Zhou Aiqing visiting alone?"

Zhou Tingru bowed to him, then took out a book in his sleeve and handed it to Chongzhen, and Cao Huachun took it and passed it to Chongzhen.

Zhou Tingru said: "Long live Qiyu, Sun Gebu, who sat in Funing to dispatch the soldiers and horses of the Qin King in the world, sent a letter, asking the household department to distribute money, food, and silver to the soldiers of the Qin King in various places. ” It's another salary, and as soon as the silver is mentioned, Chongzhen has a complete headache.

Looking at Chongzhen's appearance, Zhou Tingru immediately continued, "Sun Gebu's request this time is also very urgent, and he said in the recital that he just got the urgent military report, Shanxi Governor Geng Ruqi led 5,000 male soldiers into the king of Jingqin.

Due to the repeated change of its garrison and the refusal to pay military salaries, the soldiers mutinied, not only did they not resist Jin, but the mutinous soldiers plundered the place, causing the people to flee. ” "What Shanxi Qinwangjun mutinied, how did these bastard generals do it, what did Geng Ruqi do to eat" Chongzhen was furious, "It's also Qinwangjun, why didn't Lu Hanqiang mutiny, and he would win every battle, isn't Lu Hanqiang's soldiers from Shanxi?"

At the mention of Lu Hanqiang, Zhou Tingru's heart was blocked, but at this time, Chongzhen was in anger, so it was better to say less.

"It was this Geng Ruqi who made Shanxi angry and resentful, made Yanmen mutiny, and blamed people for being too much, and asked Lu Hanqiang to take the cylinder for him, but as a result, this strong army could not enter Jingqin King as soon as possible, and as a result, Jiannu abused Jinggi for March, which is really hateful."

The more he talked, the more angry he became, and he directly said to Cao Huachun, "Give an order, capture Geng Ruqi, and send Zhang Honggong, the chief soldier of Shanxi, to prison, and punish him for the crime of incompetence and misleading the country." ” Cao Huachun obeyed the order, and hurried to the eunuch Bingbi to find Wang Chengen to draft the order.

Zhou Tingru saw that Chongzhen was angry with Geng Ruqi, and wanted to ask him for a favor for the sake of Donglin, this matter is indeed wronged, first Lu Hanqiang did not enter the king of Jingqin, isn't this matter that you are afraid of Lu Hanqiang and his future father-in-law so he delayed making an order, and this has nothing to do with Geng Ruqi's money.

The second, this time Geng Ruqi traveled thousands of miles to lead the troops to the king, which can be regarded as a high degree of hard work, but according to the system of the national dynasty, the actions of the guest army are all provided by the government along the way to provide military salaries, money and food.

"This is the system.

But Geng Ruqi's soldiers arrived, the military department ordered to guard Tongzhou, tomorrow to transfer Changping, and tomorrow to transfer Liangxiang, and then to the surrounding of the capital, the flood land is tired, the army is not paid for three days, and the soldiers are running thousands of miles for the country, but they are hungry for three days, of course, they will make trouble, which has nothing to do with Geng Ruqi and Zhang Honggong.

They can't compare with Lu Hanqiang, Lu Hanqiang sent troops to the king, he brought enough food and salary, there was no place to provide it, there was money and food, of course the soldiers were willing to fight, but the emperor didn't ask about the root at all, just compared it on the surface, and compared Geng Ruqi, not only compared it, but also directly compared him to the edict.

But Zhou Tingru thought about it and understood, in fact, there was also a deep meaning in catching Geng Ruqi, that is, Chongzhen was ashamed of himself and the shame of not giving an order to King Lu Han for a long time. t1706231537:
