The ruthless emperor in the late Ming Dynasty forced Chongzhen to abdicate at the beginning

Chapter 260 Civil and Military Dispute
In the south of Ming Dynasty, Ming and the Netherlands are actively preparing for war. A naval battle between the two countries is inevitable, but the northwest of Ming Dynasty is also not peaceful.

The time limit stipulated by Zhu Cihong is that before September this year, all the population in other places except Guanzhong and Hanzhong must be relocated to Henan.

The conditions offered are also very generous. After ordinary people arrive in the Central Plains, regardless of gender, age, or age, each person will be compensated five taels of silver, and each person will be allocated a minimum of five acres of land for rent, and will be exempted from rent and tax for one year.

Such conditions are simply a great gift to ordinary people, and almost all of them are willing to relocate to the Huahua World in the Central Plains.

However, ordinary people are willing to move to the Central Plains, but the gentry and landowners and military officers everywhere are unwilling, especially the most remote Gansu town, where the military officers of the local guards are completely like the existence of the emperor, and the conditions set by the court , is not attractive to them at all.

Relying on the sky high and the emperor far away, although the military officers in Gansu Town did not dare to resist the emperor's imperial decree openly, they secretly united to resist and encouraged the military households, resulting in the slow progress of the relocation work.

In Chang'an City.

As the situation in various parts of the Hexi Corridor continued to spread, the expression on Li Banghua's face became more and more dignified.

"Lord Li, the time limit set by His Majesty is only four months away. Judging from the current situation, it may be difficult to complete it on time just by sending officials to Gansu Town to organize the relocation. You and I will not be able to afford it by then! "

"Then I don't know what Wuhou's opinion is?"

"Hmph! According to this Marquis, the military officers in Gansu Town may have turned their backs on them, thinking that the imperial court will not be able to deal with them if the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so they must use thunderous means!"

Wu Sangui snorted coldly, his words were full of murderous intentions, he could no longer bear Li Banghua's intimidation, and he was only assisting in the relocation work.

"Wu Hou's words are a bit exaggerated. Gansu Town is far away from the Central Plains. Those military officers have indeed developed a habit of perfunctory to the imperial court's orders, and even turned a deaf ear to them. But if they say they have rebellious intentions, this official will never believe it. .”

Li Banghua shook his head. Gansu Town is indeed far away from the emperor, and those military officials are unwilling to move.

After all, Jiayuguan, the farthest place, is only three or four thousand miles away from Chang'an. If the imperial court really made up its mind, it would only take two or three months to send a large army to arrive.

"Hehe, anyway, I'm just helping you with this matter. Even if it's really overdue, His Majesty will punish you a little at most. You can decide how to do it yourself, Mr. Li... By the way, there is Huihui in Ningxia, don't blame me. I didn't remind Mr. Li, I'm afraid I'm dreaming if I want to persuade them to move obediently!"

Wu Sangui got up and said in a strange manner, and after finishing speaking, he was ready to leave directly.

If His Majesty had asked him to be in charge of relocating the people, I am afraid that everyone in the Northwest would have been relocated to the Central Plains by now.

"Marquis Wu, Gansu Town really can't delay any longer. I also ask Marquis Wu to send [-] troops to Gansu Town to deter Gansu Town."

Li Banghua hurriedly shouted, obviously he also knew that the military officers in Gansu Town were old fritters who would not give up when they saw the Yellow River, and would not cry when they saw the coffin.

The key is that there are only more than four months before the deadline set by His Majesty, otherwise he believes that he will be able to force him to compromise after some efforts to divide and win over.

"Shock? This Marquis heard it right? Does Master Li know how far Gansu Town is from Chang'an? Thousands of miles away, if a [-]-strong army arrives after a long journey just to intimidate, what is His Majesty's might? How will the court deter in the future? Remote regions?"

Wu Sangui almost laughed back in anger.

This guy doesn't treat soldiers as human beings at all. It sounds like a [-] army can fly to Jiayuguan in one fell swoop.

"Then what does Marquis Wu mean?" Li Banghua frowned.

"Your Majesty's imperial decree has been issued in August, and they choose to ignore it and refuse to obey the decree. In the end, the imperial court needs to send a large army to go there. Naturally, they will directly destroy the decree with disrespect!"

Wu Sangui had a murderous look on his face. He didn't pay attention to the life and death of those people at all. If he didn't treat them as traitors, where would his credit come from?

"No, it's about the wealth and lives of countless people. How can we treat it as disobedience and exterminate them directly? Or deter those who disobey first, and then exterminate them at no later time."

Li Banghua's complexion also changed, and he immediately refused, saying that he didn't expect Wu Sangui to be so murderous. There are not eight hundred military officers in the entire Gansu Town, but there are thousands of them. There must be tens of thousands.

"Okay then, Master Li insists, then send two battalions to Gansu Town Xie Cong, but the matter in Ningxia must be suppressed directly, so this Marquis will go there himself!"

Seeing his firm attitude, Wu Sangui had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, not wanting to make the relationship too tense.

"Marquis Wu is eager to make meritorious service, I can understand it, but with swords and soldiers, our soldiers will inevitably suffer casualties, it is better not to lightly use swords unless it is absolutely necessary.

The official believes that those Hui Hui are not stubborn, as long as the imperial army arrives, they will know the determination of the imperial court, and most of them will compromise. "

Li Banghua said in a deep voice.

"It's so pedantic. Could it be that my Emperor Ming's Tianwei will only be displayed in the field army in the future?"

Wu Sangui was also completely angry.

This guy wants their field army to work hard, but doesn't want to give credit. It's simply unreasonable. Do you think it's still the Chongzhen Dynasty?
"Since Marquis Wu disagrees, let's play His Majesty's holy order!"

Li Banghua waved his sleeves and said with a livid face.

Although His Majesty has given him great power to ask the field army to suppress disobedients at any time, but the responsibility for this kind of risk is all on him, and the credit goes to the generals, so naturally he will not do it.

"As soon as the performance is up, the performance is up, the Marquis is still afraid that you will fail?"

Wu Sangui said disdainfully.

He still knows a little about the temper of His Majesty and Empress. As for the slow progress in the relocation work, I am afraid that he has long been impatient with this guy. If this guy wants to play, he is asking for trouble.

The facts are indeed as Wu Sangui guessed, Zhu Cihong has long been dissatisfied with Li Banghua's timidity, which has led to the slow progress of the relocation work in the northwest.

So when Li Banghua's memorial was rushed to the capital six hundred miles away, and Li Banghua and Wu Sangui had a dispute, Zhu Cihong was very disappointed in Li Banghua.

When he went there, he had already made it so clear that anyone who did not relocate according to the stipulated date would be suppressed, but Li Banghua was timid, repeated long-winded, and did not kill chickens and respect monkeys, which really lacked courage and responsibility.

So I just replied coldly, I don't want the process, I just want the result, if it is not completed in September, I will be severely punished!
