Start a Ming Dynasty plane

Chapter 503 There are tens of millions of people in Ming Dynasty, and no one is redundant

Chongzhen 12th January [-]th.

The army of the Manchu Qing invaders suddenly turned their spearheads away from confronting Lu Xiangsheng's army stationed in Linyi, Shandong, and instead dispersed their forces. The army on Yuetuo East Road was divided into zero and large-scale arrests of Han people were made. For a time, eastern Shandong and the entire Hebei region They have all become hell on earth.

The Tartars slaughtered the Han people wantonly, captured the Han people and became their slaves. Those who made resistance, the light ones showed their heads to the public, and the serious ones slaughtered the whole family. Women and children were reduced to playthings. At one time, hundreds of thousands, millions of Han people became Pigs and dogs under the butcher's knife of the Manchu Dynasty.

This torment lasted for seven days. During this period, Lu Xiangsheng, who was stationed in Linyi, wanted to send troops many times, but Dorgon personally led the West Road Army to block the city and could not enter the city.

However, Yang Sichang, who was located in Gaotang, Gao Qiqian held a heavy army but did not protect the people. People at that time called him a dog thief.

On January 24th, the Manchu Qing army, which had looted the population for seven days, began to join forces gradually. On the 25th, they retreated northward, engulfing more than [-] people. For a time, Shandong and Hebei were empty and empty.

People can't go back to their homes, so they can only hide in the mountains and forests to avoid the disaster of war.

Dorgon took more than [-] Han people and headed north. Hearing this, Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian remained indifferent, and continued to stick to the camp and lived their own lives.

And report to the imperial court, build slaves and retire, and the Ming Dynasty will last forever.

When Chongzhen learned of the memorial, he was very happy. This time the catastrophe was finally over. Just when Chongzhen was happy, Lu Xiangsheng's memorial arrived.

Lu Xiangsheng said that Jiannu had engulfed more than [-] Han people. They are the people of Ming Dynasty. How could they be slaves to Jiannu? He will lead an army to retake the people.

The words are earnest and appealing, and there is Sun Chuanting's memorial at the back, the meaning is also very obvious, I would like to take back the son of the Han family together with Master Lu, please Your Majesty's permission.

When Chongzhen saw this memorial, he fell into a tangle, not knowing whether he should agree with Lu Xiangsheng's approach, and took this memorial to the court for discussion the next day.

The ministers of the DPRK and China could not make up their minds for a while, but at this time the cabinet of the DPRK and China had changed, and the chief assistant was replaced by Zhou Yanru again. Zhou Yanru and Yang Sichang belonged to an alliance, so he received a letter from Yang Sichang early in the morning. It's because he didn't want to chase after him. He has learned how strong Jiannu is. Now that Jiannu has retreated, don't provoke him anymore.

At the same time, he didn't want Lu Xiangsheng to chase after him, because everyone was guarding one side. If Lu Xiangsheng went after him and he didn't, it would appear that his political stance was not firm, and he was greedy for life and afraid of death.

So when Zhou Yanru saw Chongzhen's hesitation, he stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that you should not lose the big because of small things. This matter should be discussed in the long term and should not be pursued."

After hearing Zhou Yanru's words, Chongzhen looked at Zhou Yanru in puzzlement and said, "What does Zhou Aiqing mean? Tell me in detail."

Zhou Yanru saw Chongzhen's expression and knew that Chongzhen did not reject this plan. If Chongzhen disagreed, he would have lost his temper at this time.

Zhou Yanru cupped his hands and said: "Jiannu's entry into the bandits this time is a long-planned plan. All along the way, they have broken through the walls and entered the pass. From BJ to Hebei, and finally to Shandong, they are invincible all the way. We Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers have almost no enemy. , and later Jiannu in Shandong was besieged by Lord Yang Sichang, Lord Lu Xiangsheng, and Eunuch Gao's three-way army, seeing that they couldn't take advantage of it, so they chose to retreat."

"Actually, Jiannu must not be reconciled, and retreating at this time, maybe Jiannu's internal opinion is also very strong. At this time, if we send people to chase, it will annoy Jiannu and let the main fighters inside Jiannu once again have the right to speak , it is impossible to say that Jiannu will make disasters in the hinterland of Ming Dynasty, and our losses will be even heavier by then."

"In my opinion, it's better to abandon these [-] people and buy enough time for Ming to recuperate. It won't be too late when we recover, integrate our army, conquer Liaodong, and rescue our captured people. "

After Zhou Yanru finished speaking, before he retreated, the younger brother Yang Sichang trained in the court stepped forward and echoed: "Your Majesty, I think what Elder Zhou Ge said is true. This slave is here, and it is menacing. It is definitely not the way to resist, and your majesty, don't be infected by Lord Lu's blood. We can block the soldiers who are going south from Jiannu in Shandong. We have walls to defend."

"Jiannu attacked us, and we relied on the city wall to defend, which can largely offset Jiannu's cavalry advantage, but now Lord Lu wants to lead troops to pursue. Your Majesty, the pursuit is a field battle. There is no danger of the city wall. We and Jiannu If a slave fights in a field battle, I am afraid that he will hit a stone with an egg, and he will inevitably suffer heavy losses, so I agree with Elder Zhou Ge's opinion that it is not appropriate to pursue it."

After hearing this, Chongzhen agreed somewhat. Lu Xiangsheng and the others were able to block the Tartars, the most important thing was to rely on the city wall. The difference between defending the city and attacking the city seemed to be a word, but the difference in casualties could even be more than ten times.

Since ancient times, the most effective way for the Han people to deal with nomads is to build city walls and rely on the city walls to resist the enemy.

But now Lu Xiangsheng wants to give up the danger of the city wall and pursue the enemy, which feels a bit like hitting a stone with a pebble.

Chongzhen thought that the balance in his heart had tilted a little, and at this moment a minister came out, and everyone looked to be Yushi Wangyan, who was considered to be Lu Xiangsheng's gang, and he could also be regarded as Lu Xiangsheng's mouthpiece in the court.

At this time Wang Yan bowed and said: "Your Majesty, just now, what Elder Zhou Ge and Lord Wang said is very true, but there are some things that cannot be calculated according to the loss of your Majesty. Jiannu arrested my son of the Han family as a pig and dog, and it cost a total of one hundred thousand yuan. Number, this is the disgrace of the Han people, how can we ignore it, if we don’t even have the intention to save them, wouldn’t it chill the hearts of the Han people all over the world, make the imperial court lose face and lose prestige among the people, this is the way to subjugate the country, Your Majesty must not ignore it."

As soon as Wang Yan finished speaking, Chongzhen frowned. There seemed to be nothing wrong with the words, and his own people ignored them. Didn't it chill the hearts of the people, and Chongzhen fell into entanglement.

Wang Yan said again: "Your Majesty, the people can carry a boat, or they can overturn it. This is a struggle for the foundation of the country, and it cannot be ignored."

Wang Yan spoke earnestly, Chongzhen frowned and remained silent, but at this moment Zhou Yanru took a step forward expressionlessly, glanced at Wang Yan and said: "Your Majesty, I think what Mr. Wang said is reasonable."

When Zhou Yanru said this, all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were stunned. What is this for? Wang Yan refuted your point of view. You affirm his point of view. Are you surrendering?
However, some scheming ministers who knew Zhou Yanru's insidiousness all laughed. This sentence obviously didn't finish, and there was a second half of it, but.

Sure enough, the second half of Zhou Yanru's sentence came: "However, although Lord Wang has a passion and lofty sentiments, he didn't think about it for Daming. You can barely keep it, but now building slaves has involved one hundred thousand of our people, but we have tens of millions of people in Ming Dynasty, is it short of 10 people?"

"He, Lu Xiangsheng, is full of blood, and he is going to fight Jiannu with his soldiers and horses. But has he ever thought about it, is this soldier Lu Xiangsheng? It is His Majesty's soldiers and horses, soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty, and our Ming Dynasty There are not many capable soldiers and horses at present, if Lu Xiangsheng leads his troops to chase Jiannu this time."

"Let's not care about winning or losing. Even if we win, we can bring back [-] people, but is Jiannu so easy to deal with? Lu Xiangsheng managed to block Jiannu in Shandong by relying on Jiancheng. If he abandons Jiancheng, he has The chances of winning are almost [-]%, even if he uses his soldiers like a god, and he wins in the end, it will be a miserable victory, and he will throw Daming, the family that can fight in the end, under Jiannu's iron hoof."

"If all the soldiers who can fight die in this war of chasing Jiannu, Your Majesty, the world is not completely peaceful yet. Jiannu is gone, but the bandits are still there. I don't know when it will appear again, and your majesty, there is still a poisonous dragon entrenched in the northwest. If we don't have a soldier who can fight, if the poisonous dragon starts to eat people, we really have nothing to do gone."

Northwest poisonous dragon!

Hearing these four words, a black line appeared on Chongzhen's face. If the most uncomfortable existence in the world is the poisonous dragon in the northwest, Lantian!

The Tartars are hateful, and Chongzhen also hated them, but the hatefulness of the Tartars is on the surface. Chongzhen doesn't have to worry about whether they are good or bad. This is a typical way to write bad words on their faces. It's fine if you don't die.

The rogues are Chongzhen's confidants, but the rogues are not strong. Although they are difficult to deal with, Chongzhen feels that they can still control them.

But after the pain, the wound will slowly heal, and one day it will heal.

But this poisonous dragon in Lantian is not like this. The danger of a poisonous dragon lies in its poison. , the Ming court sent people to accept it again, and a few years later, it was the land of the Ming Dynasty again.

But as for Lantian, all the land that was swallowed by Lantian will be considered as completely disappearing from the territory of Ming Dynasty, that is, every piece of land that is bitten will be completely lost.

This is like a person who was bitten by a jackal. After a while, the wound heals and the person is still a healthy person.

But if this person is bitten by the poisonous dragon, his arms and legs will be broken directly, and one bite will be a lifelong disability.

So Chongzhen's confidant's big trouble is Lantian, and what makes Chongzhen even more angry is that he obviously knows that Lantian is plotting something wrong, but before Lantian has turned his back, he dare not turn his back in advance.

At this time, Daming in Chongzhen was like a person. Now on the left is a Jianzhou tiger that chooses to eat people, and on the right is a rogue jackal with green eyes.

And just behind Chongzhen is a Lantian poisonous dragon with green mucus in its mouth. However, the poisonous dragon did not launch an attack at this time, but squinted its eyes and watched Chongzhen fight fiercely with tigers and wolves, but it did not attack. Salivating saliva, how can it not make people feel uncomfortable.

And now Chongzhen has a sword in his hand, this sword is the Tianxiong army in Lu Xiangsheng's hand, and now the Jianzhou tiger has bitten himself in advance, and took a piece of his meat, and this sword in his hand wants to kill the tiger , but the tiger is not so easy to chop, the sword may be broken if the tiger is chopped down, at this time, the jackal, and the poisonous dragon have no weapons to fight with it.

With my bare hands, I lost even more deterrent power to the poisonous dragon and jackal, so now I need to bear with it, hold this sword in my hand, and continue to scare the jackal and the poisonous dragon.

This is the question before Chongzhen now, be patient!

But the price of forbearance is a bit high, that is [-] Ming people, a country can't even protect its own people, is there any need for him to exist in this country?

Chongzhen was very entangled, and at this time Zhou Yanru said again: "Your Majesty, if you can't bear it, you will make a big conspiracy. At this critical time of life and death, abandoning the car to protect the commander is not a bad move."

"If Lu Xiangsheng is really allowed to consume the last army that Daming can fight in the pursuit, it will be a matter of [-] people. I'm afraid, I'm afraid Daming is in danger!"

"I also ask Your Majesty to put the Great Ming Society as the most important thing, and the world as the most important thing."

After Zhou Yanru finished speaking, he directly knelt on the ground. Seeing Zhou Yanru kneeling down, people from Zhou Yanru's faction came out one after another, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please put the country first."

"Your Majesty, please take the country as the most important thing!"

Chongzhen sat on the throne of the emperor and looked at the court princes kneeling below him, and finally made up his mind.

"Order, Lu Xiangsheng, Yang Sichang, stand up and stay in the army, don't chase Jiannu, and offenders will be severely punished."

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Hearing Chongzhen's words, there was a burst of holy voice from the audience. Chongzhen looked out of the Chaomen at this time, his eyes were so firm, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, 10,000+ people are nothing.

Chongzhen built himself up mentally. He thought he was for the country, but what he didn't know was that what he called the country was the country of his old Zhu family, not the people's country.

To put it bluntly, Chongzhen is a very selfish person. What he wants to maintain is the ruling status of the Zhu family, not the survival of the common people. For the stability of the old Zhu family's ruling position, it is not important to kill some common people.

Even if he hanged himself on Meishan in the end, it was to maintain the dignity of the Zhu family dynasty for 270 years, not because he felt that he was sorry for the common people. Chongzhen is a great and great emperor, and he is selfish and selfish. Two-faced it.

Chongzhen made a decision, and the news quickly spread to the front line and to Lu Xiangsheng.

"what!"

After hearing the edict delivered by the angel, Lu Xiangsheng's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"Father-in-law, what is your Majesty's decree? We don't want the 10,000+ people?"

The father-in-law who delivered the decree looked at Lu Xiangsheng and said, "Lord Lu, His Majesty's edict is very clear. Lord Lu should understand what His Majesty means, so why ask more?"

"But those are the 10,000+ people of our Daming, how can your Majesty bear the heart?"

"Master Lu, what the miscellaneous family said is not pleasant, we have tens of millions of people in Ming Dynasty, if there is a shortage of [-] or [-], just give it to Jiannu, and Lord Lu just needs to obey the order."

"what?"

Hearing his father-in-law's words, Lu Xiangsheng looked at his father-in-law with red eyes, and his father-in-law was taken aback. At this time, he heard Lu Xiangsheng say: "Da Ming has tens of millions of people, but none of them is superfluous. We build slaves and capture Han people as slaves. Lu Xiangsheng will never die with him!"
