Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

"Governor Lu, I have a message in my mind, I don't know if I should say it?" Looking at the generals pouring out of the main hall, Li Ruolian, who had complicated thoughts, looked at Lu Xiangsheng and said.

"speak."

Lu Xiangsheng said concisely.

Li Ruolian thought for a while, and said, "If the Bailian thieves involved in Henan are not only Guide and Kaifeng, but also other prefectures and counties, then Governor Lu's decision, wouldn't it be impossible to completely eradicate Bailian?"

"That's why I made this policy."

Lu Xiangsheng smiled slightly, and said indifferently to Li Ruolian: "First clarify the Bailian thieves that may exist in the two prefectures of Guide and Kaifeng, one county at a time, and then we can find out more.

Bringing the thieves back to the various ministries of the Daming Mansion is the reinforcements dispatched at any time.

If it is found that there are still Bailian thieves in other prefectures and counties, we will follow this strategy and continue to be dispatched, and each county will be clarified.

In Ben Fu's hands, there are only so few soldiers and horses. If you really want to let go, even if you are tired of running around for a year, it is impossible to find out all of them, but narrowing the scope is different. "

Li Ruolian: "..."

Lu Xiangsheng's move is amazing.

Suppressed by the military order, the soldiers and horses dispatched by various ministries were ordered to maintain efficient and vigilant suppression efficiency, and carry out corresponding searches and suppressions in the areas under their respective jurisdictions.

If you are lucky enough and there are no Bailian thieves in the area you are assigned, then lead your troops back directly. If there are Bailian thieves who flee later, you will not be held accountable.

"Then Governor Lu is not worried. Are the chief generals and deputy supervisors of the assigned ministries, especially the chief generals and deputy supervisors of the two mansions, deceiving some of them?"

Li Ruolian continued: "After all, this campaign is under the name of my Jin Yiwei, so I was able to send troops across the border. They don't seem to be able to benefit from it."

"Ha ha."

Lu Xiangsheng said with a faint smile: "Ben Fu is not worried, other than these, the soldiers under Ben Fu's command will disperse the various ministries and conduct secret investigations.

In addition, even if the benefits allow you to win Jinyiwei, it will not affect the inside of the Tianxiong Army.

When he rushed to Baoding to take up his post, Ben Fu had passed on His Majesty's oral order that the Tianxiong Army would expand its army, and they would not be rewarded by the court officials, but what about internal promotions?

You must know that within our Tianxiong Army, there is also a system of recording merit. This is specially set up by His Majesty. Apart from the Tianxiong Army, only a few units such as the Yongwei Battalion and the Zhongyong Army have this privilege. "

Li Ruolian's eyes opened slightly, a little unbelievable that the Son of Heaven trusted such troops as Tianxiong Army, Yongwei Battalion, and Zhongyong Army to such an extent.

If this is the case, then the above-mentioned ministries have just been expanded and promoted internally?
This directly bypasses the Ministry of War.

Isn't the emperor afraid of causing a situation where the tail is too big to lose?

In fact, Li Ruolian's worries were purely superfluous.

First of all, Emperor Chongzhen trusted the chief generals of the Tianxiong Army, Yongwei Battalion and other new troops. After all, their integrity is obvious to all.

Secondly, Emperor Chongzhen has made it clear to what extent the above-mentioned new armies have been expanded.

In the future, the supply of food and salaries, including the provision of firecrackers, artillery, armor, ordnance, etc., will be based on this quota.

Perhaps these generals can recruit more troops in private, but how to support them is a worrying thing.

Furthermore, Emperor Chongzhen has also made it clear that each new army will discuss matters once every three years, and under multiple constraints, it will avoid getting too big.

Thirdly, the military training halls opened by various ministries, including the Xiyuan lecture hall, and the generals and schools trained there are saying words of loyalty every day, which can also influence them subtly.

As long as Emperor Chongzhen can be fair and just in the above-mentioned armies, and let them make meritorious service, he will be rewarded accordingly. Then why did these new armies betray their loyal emperor?
It is true that Emperor Chongzhen is the Son of Heaven, but he needs an army to rely on, an army that obeys his will and obeys his words!

It's not an army that can be mobilized with just a letter from the Ministry of War.

These generals from the new army will become Emperor Chongzhen in the future, and gradually control the military power in various places in preparation for the subsequent re-establishment of military power.

Emperor Chongzhen had to reverse the political ecology of Wenguiwubaba.

The anti-insurgency incidents in various places are the sharpening stone for honing the new army. Whoever can be promoted by virtue of merit will have an infinitely bright future.

……

Qianqing Palace, Dongnuan Pavilion.

"Let's take a look. Zhili and Shandong reported disasters on the front foot, and the remnants of Bailian appeared on the back foot." Emperor Chongzhen threw the memorial angrily, looked at the cabinet and the ministers of the military aircraft department, and said in a deep voice.

"Those ministers in the court, all of them still have the face to be here, submitting a remonstrance to me, please stop the work of the Disaster Relief Office, what do you say now?"

Han Yu, Wen Tiren, Wang Qia, and Zhou Yanru, the cabinet ministers and Shu Fu, all of them showed surprise when they heard this statement, and couldn't believe what they heard was true.

This Li Ruolian is considered a good talent, but Wu Mengming is an idiot, and it seems that he will be abolished. 'Looking at everyone's reaction, Emperor Chongzhen thought secretly.

"It's time to pull out a group of capable people from within Jin Yiwei, and gradually divide Luo Yangxing's power. Now Luo Yangxing's knife is quite easy to use.

If at any time, it is not easy to use like Wu Mengming, just abolish it.

But at this time, Lu Xiangsheng should be in Baoding Mansion to clarify the matter of eliminating Bailian's remnants.

The most urgent task now is to pave the way for him to go to court first. After Bailian is eliminated, the position of governor of Zhili will be considered secure. '

Compared with the powerful civil servants, Emperor Chongzhen's greatest advantage was foresight.

As long as you can plan well in advance and entrust trusted people to solve the corresponding problems, you can seize the corresponding advantages.

At least in this way of thinking, the group of pragmatic talents that Emperor Chongzhen relied on never disappointed Emperor Chongzhen.

Civil servants are like this.

Generals are like this.

"I am going to send someone to take charge of this matter, and the governor of Zhili, Lu Xiangsheng, will take full responsibility." Emperor Chongzhen said with a cold expression, looking at the crowd in front of him.

"In view of Bai Lian's remnants of crimes, in the future, if I hear any criticism of the Disaster Relief Office in this court, I will dismiss the official position and get out of the court!"

Daming did not have the convenient communication means of the later generations, so in many matters, there was a time gap and a gap in information.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't know what kind of flexible decision Lu Xiangsheng made in response to the late-knowledge of the disaster and the personnel affairs of the Bailian thief.

Lu Xiangsheng also didn't know what kind of road the Chongzhen Emperor had paved for him by presenting the white lotus matter to the imperial court, and what purpose he had achieved in the court.

But the thoughts and thoughts of the two have the meaning of complementing each other.

Taking advantage of the disaster and the Bailian incident, Emperor Chongzhen was able to relieve part of the pressure in the court and settled for the follow-up deployment. Lu Xiangsheng was able to sit firmly as the governor of Zhili in the local area, and played a more active role in the subsequent governance of Beizhili.
