Emperor Chongzhen's eyes fell on Nie Bing'an, the head of the household book, Nie Bing'an was suddenly shocked, facing everyone, Nie Bing'an had no choice but to step forward and say: "Back to Your Majesty, the north is using soldiers, the Yellow River dug a dike last month, and the people along the household also need to settle the military salary that can be taken out is probably less than 100,000 taels!"
”"So little?"
Emperor Chongzhen's face changed several times, and he couldn't help coughing more violently, Wang Chengen, who had been standing aside, couldn't help but hurriedly support Emperor Chongzhen, gently patting his back, Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand, signaled to stop, and then slowly asked: "So, now, how many soldiers can the imperial court send?"
”"Fifty thousand!
This is still drawn from Shaanxi, Sichuan and other places. ”The new soldier Pan Shiliang already had an account in his heart, and after glancing at Emperor Chongzhen's eyes that wanted to eat people, Pan Shiliang's conscience was shocked, and he hurriedly said: "With the strength of the states and counties, the total should be about 150,000!"
”"Only 150,000?"
Emperor Chongzhen shook his head, his hand joints couldn't help but lightly hit the table, and slowly thought: "This war report is also a battle report from a month ago, I'm afraid that now the power of the thieves is even greater, and the forces in the north cannot be withdrawn, as for the south" Right now, the Ming Dynasty needs the north and the south to use troops, which makes Emperor Chongzhen's heart sink into the valley, no matter how rich the country is, it can't withstand the wear and tear of the war after all, not to mention that there is not much food in the treasury now!
You must know that just one day's grain transported to the Tatar front can supply the people of a county with food and drink for half a month!
Weapons, troop replenishment, etc., have not yet been counted!
Therefore, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the current Ming Dynasty is in the midst of hunger and cold."
As for the South, I need to settle the rebellion within six months!"
After thinking about it for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen's face couldn't help but turn gray.If the war time is expanded, not only will it be difficult to replenish the battle line in the north, but the south will also be immediately limited to a state of paralysis, so Emperor Chongzhen's heart is only six months!
This situation is not urgent!"
Who has the best strategy to defeat the enemy?
You can talk about it. ”Emperor Chongzhen slowly closed his eyes, and the intense heat in his chest made Emperor Chongzhen's body deteriorate, even so, Emperor Chongzhen still insisted on opening this military aircraft council.Ministers, look at me, I look at you, and for a while, no one answered questions, jokes, what are you kidding?
Six months to counterinsurgency?
I don't know where the current war situation is going, and even if we know it, what can we do?
Seeing that none of the ministers spoke, Emperor Chongzhen's heart suddenly fell into the deep valley.Looking at the quiet ministers in front of him, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Jiang Chuhan again, who was thinking alone with his head down, and said lightly: "Jiang Aiqing, I don't know if you have any good strategies to control the enemy?"
”"AhhJiang Chuhan was abruptly interrupted by Emperor Chongzhen, suddenly woke up from his contemplation, raised his eyes, and saw that Emperor Chongzhen's eyes were full of hope in his eyes, Jiang Chuhan's heart was suddenly clever, and he looked left and right, only to see that the eyes of the ministers all fell on him, so he sighed and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers think that the most important thing at the moment is not to quell the rebellion, but to pacify!"
”"Appeasement again?"
Seeing that Jiang Chuhan really lived up to his expectations, Emperor Chongzhen coughed lightly, nodded with a smile, and said, "Go on." ”"Yes!
But this pacification is different from the last time in Shaanxi. ”Jiang Chuhan didn't dare to have it, and after thinking about it slightly in his mind, he said in a deep voice: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is better to consider two points first, first, since Li Zicheng has captured Zaoyang, how many people will go to join him?"
”Second, Li Zicheng relied on the slogan of "Juntian is exempt from taxation" to obtain a large number of hungry people and bandits, and as for whether there is any rest of the troops to replenish, it is also the most important thing!
Since Li Zicheng can lead 10,000 bandits to capture Zaoyang, can he take Xiangyang?
The answer is obviously yes, according to the minister's estimate, the current Li Zicheng, the total number of troops may have reached more than 200,000!
”"Two hundred thousand!"
The ministers suddenly gasped in unison, 200,000 troops, even if it is impossible to rule the river with the Ming Dynasty, however, Jiang Chuhan's next sentence suddenly made everyone fall into the dark ice valley: "However, even if there are 200,000 troops now, I am afraid that in the near future, it will reach the scale of 400,000!"
One of the most important points is the people of Jiangnan and the Central Plains!
Therefore, the minister thought that in order to defeat Li Zicheng, he must first appease the people of Jiangnan and the Central Plains, which is also an indispensable point!
”"Jiang Aiqing, do you really think that Jiangnan has been chaotic to that extent?"
Emperor Chongzhen's face was pale, and he couldn't help but understand."
Yes!
I thought that was the case. ”After finishing speaking, Jiang Chuhan paused, and hurriedly replied: "Of course, this is just the minister's estimate, and it can't be true."
However, the minister still believes that counterinsurgency and pacification must go hand in hand, so that it is possible to resolve the counterinsurgency within six months!
”"Good!"
Emperor Chongzhen nodded coldly, pointed at Jiang Chuhan with his fingertips, and said coldly: "I will now appoint you as the envoy of the counterinsurgency, and at the same time grant you the position of generalissimo of the counterinsurgency soldiers and horses, and lead the overall situation of the Central Plains in Jiangnan, Jiang Aiqing, I want you to eliminate the bandit rebellion within six months, Jiang Aiqing, now, you tell me, you can do it, or can't you do it?"
”"What?"
Jiang Chuhan suddenly gasped, Jiang Chuhan never imagined that at this time, Emperor Chongzhen actually ordered himself to go on the expedition and complete the task of counterinsurgency within six months!
Looking back on history, the reason why Jiang Chuhan was able to roughly guess that Li Zicheng's troops had now reached 200,000 was due to the history he was familiar with in his previous life, but to quell the rebellion against Jiangnan within six months made Jiang Chuhan just think about it, and his hope was slim.However, meeting Emperor Chongzhen's eyes with a faint hope, Jiang Chuhan's heart couldn't help but soften suddenly, and even a fool could see that Emperor Chongzhen's haggard pale face at this moment did not have a trace of blood on it, and even the originally black hair turned white.Thinking of this, Jiang Chuhan suddenly let out a long sigh, bowed down and said, "Minister Jiang Chuhan, lead the order!"
”After saying this sentence, Jiang Chuhan raised his face slightly, and his eyes suddenly collided with Emperor Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen's eyes suddenly showed a faint look, and he nodded slightly, at that moment, Jiang Chuhan obviously saw that Emperor Chongzhen's eyes showed a smile of joy.After returning home, Jiang Chuhan called Mei'er, Saisai, and Yuanyuan to the secret room in the study, and ordered the guards to stay outside the door of the study, and no one was allowed to come in.The couple chatted in the secret room for more than two hours, as for what they were talking about, Han Zhu really didn't know, because the secret room was equipped with a signal jammer, but Han Zhu knew that several women had sad faces when they came out, and he also knew that Jiang Chuhan had left ten capable guards for Mei'er to send.On the barren plains, as far as the eye can see, on a few crooked-necked trees in the distance, but they can't help but show a little loneliness, the wind and grass are moving, setting off bursts of waves!
At this time, it was a hot summer, but on this endless field, there was a bit of loneliness for no reason, which made people feel a little stunned from the bottom of their hearts.Far away, on those crooked-necked trees, there are a few corpses hanging!
With this hot wind blowing, the corpses hanging on the trees couldn't help but flutter with the wind, which couldn't help but make people feel a little terrifying from the bottom of their hearts!
The summer was hot, and the corpses were a little decomposed because of the hot weather, and the whole body became an empty skin!
Faintly, you can also see a few white corpse insects, coming out of the flesh and burrowing into it again.It's a scorched village!
Looks like it's been quite a while!

Jiang Chuhan was standing beside this piece of charred ashes at this moment, secretly sad.After a month's long journey, Jiang Chuhan led more than 50,000 troops drawn from various guards, as well as the 800 Tiger Guards led by Huang Degong, accompanied by Zhang Xianzhong and other fifteen leaders, but Jiang Chuhan did not incorporate them into any military register, but only let them temporarily incorporate into the Tiger Guards, as for the specific positions, there is no specific position at all!
However, why Jiang Chuhan took these fifteen people and followed him out of Beijing to quell the rebellion, no one could guess thoroughly, and Jiang Chuhan himself didn't say it, so no one dared to ask anymore.Sighing deeply, Jiang Chuhan looked at the desolate scene in front of him, Jiang Chuhan and the others had already entered the Xiangyang area, and they had constantly seen desolate scenes along the road, which made Jiang Chuhan feel extremely sad from the bottom of his heart.However, the closer he got to the battle line, the more information Jiang Chuhan got!
