Chapter 492 Why not put up with him for two years, Chongzhen also knew that the imperial court was a huge hole in Caogong, and this Caoyun involved the interests of all aspects, and it could not be moved lightly, once it moved, those people would bewitch Caogong to make trouble.More than one million young and strong workers, once there is trouble, it will be troublesome, the entire Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, and more importantly, as long as there is a problem in Caoyun, there will be a food shortage in the capital, once there is a grain shortage in the capital Ningjin line, Xuanda line, there will be problems on three sides.In this time and space, Chongzhen is actually happy, because of the existence of Quan Xu, Jiannu has no strength for the time being, Sun Chengzong has been sitting in Jizhou, and the Ningjin line is in the back, and Lu Xiangsheng went to Xuanda.Don't look at Hong Chengchou's character problems, but there is no problem with people's abilities, he can still press Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and press the fair army with one hand.In this case, Chongzhen dared to let go of his hands and feet and clean up the internal problems, he first stabbed the inside of the palace and threw more than 1,400 palace ladies and eunuchs to Quan Xu.Of course, these things, the ministers of the court will not care, anyway, the palace casually let Chongzhen toss, and then he moved the Beijing camp, the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp opened their mouths to ask the court for food, but when Jiannu called, he was afraid of the enemy like a tiger, Chongzhen was disappointed, and the ministers were also disappointed.Once something goes wrong in Beijing, they can't run away, so Chongzhen cut it down with one knife, and the eighteen independent thousand households in the four guards were cut off by Chongzhen with one knife.It also did not arouse the fierce opposition of the ministers of the imperial court, so you can slowly try Caogong.At this time, Chongzhen looked at Quan Xu and said, "I plan to let the Liaodong New Army take over Liaoxi and take over the Ningjin defense line!"
”Quan Xu looked at Chongzhen dumbfounded and said, "Why?
”"I've had enough of those Liaoxi warlords!
Seven million taels of military salaries are spent every year, and the treasury is almost emptied, but it can neither attack nor defend!
”Emperor Chongzhen was furious, gritted his teeth and said: "In the second year of Chongzhen, Jiannu attacked in a big way, and the Guanning army claimed to have fought with Jiannu for several days, annihilated more than 10,000 enemies, and beheaded more than 600 levels. ”When Chongzhen said this, his beard trembled with anger, and he slammed the teacup on the coffee table, and said indignantly: "As soon as Jiannu came, those city fortresses that cost tens of thousands, or even more than 100,000 or 200,000 taels of silver to build were all abandoned, and they either took the initiative to surrender to Jiannu or fled, without playing any role!"
”Chongzhen said that Quan Xu knew all these problems, but he knew that he knew the rules, but he had no way to say that cutting off people's financial routes was like killing his parents, which was a blood feud.What's more, Quan Xu didn't expect to reform the Ming Dynasty like Zhang Juzheng, the Ming Dynasty was too bad inside and out, bringing together Zhang Juzheng, Wang Anshi and Shang Ying, the three reformers of the head iron, and they might not be able to play with the Wenchen of the Ming Dynasty.Shang Ying can also get the full support of the King of Qin, and there are 200,000 Qin army tiger and wolf army as backing, the key is that Shang Ying represents the interests of the Great Qin tiger and wolf army.However, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, especially those nobles and generals, were themselves muddy and could not support the wall.Emperor Chongzhen began to vomit the bad mode: "More than 100,000 Guanning troops are all shrinking in the city, not daring to show their faces, so Zu Kuan fought with Jiannu on the cross slope and defeated Jiannu by a Jiala!"
All of them are fools!
When facing the enemy, ten is not one, but the merit is one as ten, and I can't wait to pull my grandson who is not yet as tall as the wheel to share a piece of credit, and the list of rewards can be listed as three zhang long!
What are they trying to do?
Are I really blind!?
”Cao Huachun's gaze became deep, and he really wanted to say: "Emperor, those ministers are just treating you as a fool!"
”"Every year, millions of taels of liao are raised, and such a group of wastes that can neither attack nor defend are raised, what use do you want them!
The whole family army is strong in combat, and it costs much less food!
”Chongzhen smiled excitedly: "I have decided, use the Liaodong New Army to replace the Guanning Army to guard the Ningjin defense line, if they are too few troops to defend it, simply give up Ningyuan and Jinzhou, and only defend Shanhaiguan, as long as they can delay the construction of the Nu for a few years, my Liaodong New Army can accumulate enough strength to move north!"
”If Chongzhen really dared to do this, it was not surprising that he would become the third emperor in the Ming Dynasty to fall into the water and die unexpectedly, and he would not have to hang himself on the coal mountain.In addition, Quan Xu can be sure that once Chongzhen proposes to retreat to Shanhaiguan, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will jump up and bite people!
Retreating to Shanhaiguan can indeed greatly save food and wages, and it is not a problem to reduce the salary from 7 million taels to 1 million taels, but the problem is that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all living on Liao, and doing so is tantamount to cutting off their financial routes!
Those ministers of the Ming Dynasty have no other skills, but no one can do the ability to die, and the ghost knows that once they find out that their financial routes are going to be broken, what kind of stupid things will these dead people do!
The rise of Quanxu in Liaodong seems to be infinite, in fact, the foundation is still shallow, and the development of industry has never been a simple matter, not only a problem of science and technology, but also a problem of workers.With the support of Quanxu, Liaodong's industrial development has entered the fast lane of development, with almost all factories blooming everywhere, textile mills, cement factories, steel mills, coal mines, shipyards and so on.In the next few years, the productivity of eastern Liaoning will develop in a blowout mode.According to the statistics of 15 counties in the four prefectures of southern Liaoning, there are a total of 1,355 factories employing more than 100 workers and more than 570,000 professional craftsmen.The vigorous development during this period directly made the number of workers in Liaodong exceed more than one million.In this way, a large class of workers was formed.Ever since the emergence of classes, there have been contradictions.In particular, the capitalists, those factory owners, in order to pursue profits, they did everything in their power, although Quan Xu forced the Liaonan Parliament, in order to avoid mistreatment of the workers and the workers' revolt, he proposed a minimum standard of wages, and also required the workers of all factories to pay their wages through the bank.In fact, although the income of workers in Liaodong can make ends meet, there is still a certain gap between the fact that in later generations they could buy four or five thousand catties of grain with a monthly salary, and they could let their wives and children eat and drink without worry.Of course, what they are most afraid of is that they will induce the workers to rebel with Quan Xu internally, so that Quan Xu will have more trouble.A correct strategy placed at the wrong time can lead to disastrous consequences, and this is the lesson of blood.Quan Xu was silent for a long time and said slowly: "Your Majesty, think twice!"
”"Why?
Don't I even have the power to mobilize my own army?
”"That's not what I mean!
The minister thinks that at present, there are frequent disasters in the Great Tomorrow, and the Liukou has not yet been calmed down, and it is already a great loss of vitality......
Chongzhen said indignantly: "It is precisely because of this that I want to let the new army of Liaodong replace the Guanning army and save these millions of taels of Liaoning!"
With these millions of taels of silver, how much can I do!
Even throwing it into the river and listening to it is better than handing it over to these warlords all day long!
”"That's right, but, has Your Majesty ever thought about where to put the hundreds of thousands of troops after replacing the Guan Ning army?"
Chongzhen furrowed his brows, he really hadn't thought about this."
Those hundreds of thousands of troops also have to be clothed and eaten, and if they are replaced and there is nowhere to put them, there will be chaos!
Once they start a rebellion, Da Ming is only afraid that it will cost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of silver taels to settle it, which one is more loss?
Moreover, the Guanning Army has been in business for so many years and has a wide network of contacts in the DPRK and China, and if the Guanning Army is to be moved, I am afraid that none of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will agree......
Don't stare, Your Majesty can find out that Guan Ningjun falsely reported his military exploits, and he must also be able to find out how much profit the big figures in the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Officials, and even the Cabinet can share the profits from the Liao salary every year!
”Quan Xu said earnestly: "The Guanning Army is no longer just an army, it has become a huge interest group, if you want to move the Guanning Army and reduce Liao's salary, it will inevitably lead to a crazy counterattack by this interest group, and the consequences are unpredictable!"
”Not to mention that the Guan Ning Army has formed a huge interest group, even the whole family army and the Tianxiong army have become interest groups, and Quan Xu's being the head of the whole family army does not mean that the whole family army can have no position and interest principles.It is very easy for Chongzhen to put the whole family army in Liaodong, it can be transferred out, it is not easy, now the whole family army has landed in Liaodong, Liaodong is no longer the Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty, but the Liaodong of the whole family army, the Liaodong of the industrial party.At this moment, even if Quan Xu wants to be a loyal minister and filial son of the Ming Dynasty, the whole family army will not agree, because Quan Xu doesn't care about the military salary of the imperial court, so the whole family army has no good impression of the imperial court.If Chongzhen dares to order Quan Xu to be beheaded, or even without Quan Xu's order, the whole family army will immediately raise troops on the side of the Qing monarch, and hundreds of thousands of troops will go north or south, then the fun will be great.Emperor Chongzhen was extremely annoyed: "Do you want me to continue to raise those wastes, and continue to spend millions of taels of Liao every year to support them!?"
”Quan Xu smiled bitterly: "For the time being, it can only be like this."
In fact, to solve the Guanning Army, the best way is to destroy the Jiannu, without Jiannu, there is no need for the Guanning Army to exist.Your Majesty, please bear with me for another two years, and after two years, the new army in Liaodong will be able to accumulate enough strength to wipe out Jiannu in one fell swoop!
”"Okay, I'll endure it for another two years, and then settle accounts with them after two years!"
Quan Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that this big boss would have a temper, and insisted that the Liaodong New Army take over the Guanning defense line, if he really wanted to do this, he was afraid that before the Liaodong New Army moved, the Guanning Army would cooperate with the Houjin Army and beat Liaodong to pieces.Don't overestimate the discipline of those proud soldiers, of course, they are Tuo shit in front of Houjin, but after leaving braids, it is called a fierce, from Liaodong to Burma without panting, really let them merge with Houjin, the matter is absolutely big!
But fortunately, although Chongzhen has many weaknesses such as impatience and self-righteousness, he can still listen to the words of the people he trusts.
