Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 539 Counter-Insurgency Bonds
Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

"Sun Qing sent troops after all. I didn't expect the achievements to be so remarkable."

Emperor Chongzhen held the memorial, with an unconcealable smile on his brows, "Yizhou Guard was recovered by the frontier army of Liao, which undoubtedly exposed the shortage of troops in the land of Jianlu in the west of Liao.

OK, this is good news for Daming.

I'm afraid that at this time, Guangning, an important place, will probably be recovered by the frontier army of the Liao Dynasty, but the only doubt is whether the army led by Mangui can withstand the offensive of Jianlu. "

"Your Majesty said it very well."

Wang Qia made a salute and said: "Master Sun and the others, taking advantage of the turbulent situation in southern Liaoning, found out the real situation in western Liaoning, and launched a joint sea and land battle.

This has never happened in Daming.

If this battle can be won, all the guards in western Liaoning will be restored, not only will they be able to re-establish the captive forces, but they will also break the original stalemate in eastern Liaodong. More importantly, Ming has more advantages. "

When Emperor Chongzhen was busy rectifying the court and starting to reform the currency system, the overall situation in Liaodong was changing every day.

The rebel army led by Li Zicheng joined the battle.

Liu Xingzuo led Dongjiang to participate in the war.

Tianjin and Denglai joined the war successively.

Sun Chengzong led Liaoqian to join the war.

This kind of group participating in the war by different levels and time is very obvious to the passivity and disadvantages caused by Jianlu Eight Banners.

The pan-Liaodong strategy proposed by Emperor Chongzhen wanted to effectively eliminate the vital forces of Jianlu, but with Li Zicheng's secret visit to Liao, changes happened quietly.

The current situation in Liaodong was never even thought of by Emperor Chongzhen. After all, this change is not predictable.

"It's too early to draw such conclusions."

Emperor Chongzhen frowned slightly, and looked at the officials in the palace, "Sun Qing and the others have the final say on how to fight the battle on the front line, after all, the capital city is far away from Liaoqian, and the distance between them is too far.

It would be bad for Daming if he missed the opportunity to issue any order hastily.

What the Military Aircraft Department needs to do is to raise all the needs of the various armies on the battlefields, so as to facilitate the victory of this battle. "

"Your Majesty, at the current Military Aircraft Department, we can still discuss with the Ministry of Households and other relevant departments to raise various war needs, and dispatch the Yongwei Battalion and other departments to escort them to Liaoqian, Tianjin and other places for transit."

Wang Zaijin stepped forward, cupped his hands and said: "But this can last for a month at most. Once this period is exceeded, it will be difficult to allocate food and salaries from the national treasury to raise the needs of various places in Liaoqian.

The Ministry of Households has expressed dissatisfaction with the coordination of the Military Aircraft Department many times, and this cost too much money. "

As soon as the gun is fired, ten thousand taels of gold.

The Ming Dynasty’s finances in the Chongzhen Dynasty were so rotten that there were holes everywhere, and they were forced to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall.

To a large extent, it is the continuous intensification of the counter-insurgency wars in various places, and the failure to achieve the desired results, which led to the gradual collapse of the finances.

Now the financial system of Ming Dynasty has begun to improve due to the previous efforts. Emperor Chongzhen will never allow any fluctuations, so that the financial system will collapse again.

"Persist in this way first, and the various food and payment expenses after the due date will be allocated by internal funds." Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while, and stretched out his hand: "The Military Aircraft Department does not have to worry about other matters involving food and payment expenses, and do its job well." Coordinate the needs of the various ministries in front of the Liao Dynasty, and ensure that this battle can be won in the end!"

"The ministers obey the order."

All the officials in the Military Aircraft Department bowed to each other immediately, and all the hearts that were hanging in the air were also let down.

With internal funds for follow-up coverage, even if they cannot pay for food and salaries from the national treasury, then their military aircraft department can use money to raise various needs.

It's just that Wang Zaijin and the others didn't know that the money stored in the internal funds was not particularly abundant, after all, they had done too many things before.

After Wang Zaijin and the others left, Emperor Chongzhen said succinctly: "Wang Banban, call Guan Qing to enter the palace immediately to have an audience."

"The slaves obey the order."

Wang Chengen bowed hurriedly.

Governing Daming is not an easy task. If you want to make changes, you must have money in your pocket, otherwise many things will be difficult to advance.

In order to sort out the maladministration and malignant tumors of the Ming Dynasty, it took Emperor Chongzhen more than a year to get around the basic area of ​​Beizhili, gradually affecting Liaoqian, Shanxi, Shandong and other places, and to sort out several clear lines. Started moving in a good direction.

If at this time, because of the matter of silver, this good trend is delayed or killed, this is what Emperor Chongzhen would never want to see.

It is unrealistic to seek help from the imperial court, and it is undoubtedly as difficult as reaching the sky for the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty to help the imperial court to tide over the difficulties.

Emperor Chongzhen was well aware of the virtues of these people.

"Guan Qing, I need money!"

When Guan Shaoning came to Qianqing Palace, Emperor Chongzhen cut straight to the point: "I plan to use some of the acres under the jurisdiction of Huangzhuang as an anchor, and in the name of internal money, I will sell a batch of anti-insurgency bonds to the outside world, with a scale of 30 million taels." .

On your National Tax Office's side, in the shortest possible time, you must plan this matter well, first take out a share of 10 million taels, and sell it in various places in Beizhili first.

The remaining shares will be sent to Shanxi, Shandong and other places for sale. In the current battlefield before the Liao Dynasty, the imperial court has a great advantage, which can stimulate many groups of people. "

Regarding the wars in Liaodong, Emperor Chongzhen would call the Military Aircraft Department here, and spread all the favorable news to enhance the confidence between the government and the opposition.

After all, since the late Wanli Dynasty, most of the battles between Daming and Jianlu ended in failure. For many groups of people, this has given rise to the mood of talking about slavery.

Now that this pattern is beginning to change, Emperor Chongzhen will definitely not miss this good opportunity to strengthen the confidence of Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, can this matter be effectively promoted in conjunction with the reform of the currency system?"

When Guan Shaoning heard this, he pondered for a moment, cupped his hands and said: "For example, the bonds that will be sold this time can only be purchased with newly minted money, which will undoubtedly enhance the circulation among the people.

In order to attract more groups, the newly-made money can be cashed in to purchase the anti-insurgency bonds launched by internal funds, and the interest rate can be increased appropriately. "

"The idea of ​​the Qing family is not bad. I think I can try it."

Emperor Chongzhen's eyes lit up and he said: "The batch of newly minted coins minted by the General Mint was temporarily deposited at the Huitong Bank.

The Qing family discussed with Bi Qing and the others to clarify the matter as soon as possible, not only to achieve the fact of bond sales, but also to promote the circulation of newly-made money.

For the Huitong ticket number, I have ordered them to assist. "

"The minister obeys the order."

Guan Shaoning immediately bowed and saluted.
