Alliance of the Heavens and Ming Dynasty

Chapter 115 The knife is in hand, follow me
People from all sides presided over the process, and Zhu Houzhao took Zhu Cihong to the world of Chongzhen.

This time, he was accompanied by his loyal henchman Liu Jin, and seven sunflower sword guards who had practiced the best evil swordsmanship.

I don't know if it's because of cleaning up the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River and killing the civil official group, his Zhengde Dynasty luck has soared, and the time and space gate belonging to him can already allow ten people to pass through together.

In Chongzhen's imperial study, Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Cihong, Liu Jin, and seven sunflower sword guards appeared together, startling Zhu Youjian who was frowning.

"Emperor Zhengde, why are you here!"

The appearance of Zhu Houzhao surprised Zhu Youjian.

"Grandfather asked me to help you. I just happened to be bored during this period of time, so I came to have a look."

Zhu Houzhao said unceremoniously: "Although I look down on you, you are the emperor of Ming Dynasty after all, and the country of Ming Dynasty cannot perish."

Zhu Youjian twitched, wondering if he should speak so bluntly.

Although he is indeed quite useless, with a lot of problems on his body.

"Then thank you Emperor Zhengde!"

Zhu Youjian did not reject Zhu Houzhao's "good intentions". Although he is headstrong and conceited, he still has some self-knowledge. In terms of being an emperor, he is really not as good as Zhu Houzhao.

With Zhu Houzhao's help, he can relax a bit, after all, his Chongzhen Dynasty was really difficult.

The Donglin Party, the Eight Great Masters of Shanxi Merchants, Manchu Wild Boarskin, Nine Frontier Warlords, Gao Yingxiang, and Zhang Xianzhong are all big troubles.

Coupled with the impact of the Little Ice Age, the Chongzhen Dynasty was already riddled with holes, like rags, no matter how hard he tried, there was no improvement.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not helping you, I just don't want to see Daming's country fall, that's all."

Zhu Houzhao said coldly, still looking down on Zhu Youjian from the bottom of his heart, this is the big fool who was fooled by the Donglin Party.

He also didn't want to see Daming Jiangshan fall into the hands of wild boarskin, causing the Chinese nation to suffer great shame and humiliation after many years, otherwise he would not bother to talk to Zhu Youjian.

He casually picked up a memorial and looked at it, heh, the one who asked for the military salary was the famous Yuan Chonghuan Yuan Dushi who claimed that he was immortal and the Ming Dynasty was immortal.

Regarding Yuan Chonghuan, Zhu Houzhao did not want to make unreasonable comments. This person is quite capable, otherwise he would not have killed the old slave Nurhachi, but how loyal this person is to Daming and Chongzhen is open to question!
Huang Taiji, the leader of the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, was besieging the capital, but he was wasting his time and refused to send troops. It makes sense.

"Yuan Chonghuan wants military pay, do you think it will be paid or not?"

Zhu Houzhao asked Zhu Cihong, with a strong intention of examining the school.

I want to see how much Zhu Cihong has learned during this time with him.

The cultivation of a ruthless person is not only a strong mind, but also an impeccable ability.

Zhu Youjian also looked at Zhu Cihong with full expectation, and he still placed a lot of expectations on Zhu Cihong, the prince.

"I can't give it!"

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Cihong said firmly.

"why?"

There was a hint of appreciation in Zhu Houzhao's eyes.

"The treasury is out of money!"

"Even if you have money, you can't give it. Giving it will only make their appetite bigger and bigger, and it will become more and more difficult to satisfy."

Papapa

Zhu Houzhao clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "You have good knowledge, you are right, I can't give you the money."

When Yuan Chonghuan asked for military pay, it would be better to say that he was begging for rewards from the warlords on the Nine Sides, asking the court for money to satisfy the appetite of the warlords on the Nine Sides.

Ever since Li Chengliang raised his own self-respect to the bandits, the Nine Frontiers of the Ming Dynasty have been rotten. The leading generals supported their self-respect and formed a warlord force. In order to get more money from the court, it is common to kill good men and falsely report the results of battles.

Up to now, asking for money from the imperial court has almost become the practice of the Nine Frontier Warlords. The military salaries issued by the imperial court will soon be divided up by the Donglin Party and the warlord generals. The soldiers can receive very little salary. Not even a penny at all.

It is natural and right for soldiers to eat food and get paid. If they can’t get the salary they deserve, soldiers will naturally quit, and they will riot on a large scale and start arguing about salary. Warlords and generals will ask the court to allocate funds.

Repeatedly like this, the court spent a lot of money, but the disaster has never been subsided, and it has also caused the warlords on the nine sides to become more and more rampant, and they don't know how to restrain themselves at all.

The military system is rotten, and the government system is also rotten. This is the biggest problem of the Chongzhen Dynasty.

Man Qing's wild boar skin, Gao Yingxiang, and Zhang Xianzhong are not enough to shake the foundation of Daming. It is the Nine Frontier Warlords and the Donglin Party that really bring Daming down.

"But if you don't pay the army, it won't take long before border crossings will cause riots again!"

Zhu Youjian had a headache and said that he didn't know all the routines of the Nine Frontier Warlords, and he could guess a general idea.

After all, this is not the first time. As long as you are not a fool, anyone with a slightly normal mind can see the way. Mutiny without money has become a powerful weapon used by the Nine Frontier Warlords to threaten the court.

"You are not as knowledgeable as your son, and blindly forbearance will only make them push forward."

Zhu Houzhao said murderously: "If they want to make trouble, let them make trouble. Whoever dares to make trouble, kill them!"

His tone was loud and powerful, this time he brought seven sunflower sword guards who are good at assassination, and whoever dares to make trouble on the nine sides, he can prevent them from seeing the sun tomorrow.

"Don't think too much about Yuan Chonghuan. Daming has no shortage of generals who can recruit good fighters, and he, Yuan Chonghuan, is not irreplaceable."

Full of disappointment, he glanced at Zhu Youjian. There was a problem in the army. He didn't want to solve the root cause, but blindly used money to satisfy the appetite of those warlords. No wonder neither civil servants nor generals took him seriously. inside.

"If you want to save Daming, just listen to me."

Throwing a knife directly in front of Zhu Youjian: "Pick up the knife."

Zhu Youjian was puzzled, but still picked up the knife, holding the handle tightly with his right hand, a cold feeling rushed into his mind instantly, and his exhausted spirit was washed away a bit.

Zhu Houzhao threw another knife to Zhu Cihong, and said to the father and son, "I have the knife in hand, come with me."

"Today I will teach you a truth, the emperor who can kill people will let his subordinates know how to be in awe."

"Lead the way to Fusi, Jinyiwei North Town!"

Let Chongzhen's personal eunuch Wang Chengen act as a guide, and the target is directed at Jin Yiwei.

Dongchang made Zhu Youjian abolished, and Jinyiwei is no different from an empty shell now, but if we want to revive the dead end of the Chongzhen Dynasty, we have to start with Jinyiwei.

After having a group of available troops, it is possible to make a bold move against the moths.

Jinyiwei runs through the entire history of the Ming Dynasty. From the Hongwu period to the Tianqi period, the strength is the best in the imperial army system. However, in the Chongzhen Dynasty, the Jinyiwei was completely abolished, and even the commander Luo Yangxing became the leader of the Donglin Party. Dog legs, glory is not there.

But no matter how desolate, the rotten ship still has three catties of nails, and Jin Yiwei is unable to influence the court situation, but he still has some strength. Beizhen Fusi, who represents the face of Jin Yiwei, is still so dignified and solemn.
