Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 214
The most disgusting thing about Lao Zhu's house is that the Daming Banknotes are only issued, not recycled.

That is, the emperor could exchange the precious banknotes for the grain, cloth, and silk produced by the common people.But when the people wanted to pay taxes with precious banknotes, the emperor told the people: Sorry, I don't accept precious banknotes.

So here comes the question, the emperor himself doesn't accept treasure notes, so why do you issue them?

This is the real master who sells the cubs, Tian doesn't feel bad, and Taizu and Taizong exchange waste paper for real things, which is very cool.As a result, the credit of Baochao collapsed later, and at the end of Ming Dynasty, Tianqi and Chongzhen were even more unlucky and fell to grandma's house.

I don't want to know, but Zhu Qiyu realized after thinking deeply: These emperors in the early Ming Dynasty dug holes for future generations one by one.

Not to mention the pile of bad debts left by the good grandson in front of him, Zhu Qizhen, who is hunting in Datong, is also a master of death among masters of death.

Not to mention the big pit dug by Tumubao. After Zhu Qizhen was restored, after tossing Oala in Western Mongolia, he went to toss Tatar in Eastern Mongolia.

In the end, the Tatar tribe was allowed to divert tribute from Shaanxi, and then this group of people stayed in Shaanxi and occupied the Hetao of the Ming Dynasty, forming the most important border trouble in the middle of the Ming Dynasty: the Hetao trouble.

Zhu Qizhen dug the second biggest hole in his life with a little effort, and Chenghua wiped it bitterly for more than 20 years, wasting countless national power, and did not wipe Zhu Qizhen's ass clean.

Zhu Qizhen is a typical example of great ambition, talent and lack of vision, and he remembers eating but not fighting, which is a little worse than Emperor Chongzhen.Even Chongzhen knew that he could learn a lot from a pit, so he wanted to kill the most loyal minister under Huang Taiji as soon as possible.

Therefore, even if he proceeded completely from the public heart, it would be impossible for Zhu Qiyu to return the throne to this scourge.

As for building a temple for Wang Zhen and so on, that's all trivial matters.Can be pursued, or not pursued.

Fortunately, Chen Xun, Wang Wen and others don't care about this, as long as the emperor promises not to lose everyone's money, then there will be no problem.

Zhu Qiyu sent the ministers away, and went back to his room early to play.

For the next two days, nothing happened.Zhu Qiyu just ordered the inner court to transfer 100 million taels of internal money to the Ministry of Households immediately.

The Ministry of Households acted very quickly, and quickly distributed the emperor's reward.

Whether it is the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs or the ordinary soldiers below, they all praised the emperor endlessly.Orally at least.

Now that Zhu Qiyu led the capital to defend the war and won the battle first, he made great efforts to turn the tide, and his cronies such as Lian Gang worked hard to promote it. Now his prestige is so strong that no one dares to oppose the emperor on the surface.

But now the emperor, who has become the backbone of the people in the capital, is neither arrogant nor impetuous, unassuming, and hides in a small building to become unified.

The emperor rarely showed his face, and rarely intervened in specific government affairs.On the contrary, the ministers are more proactive, working harder and harder, working from dawn to dusk every day.

In fact, these ministers who have studied hard in the cold window are not afraid of hardship or tiredness, but are only afraid of the emperor's blind instructions.Now there is an emperor who rules by doing nothing, and everyone is very happy.

……

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and on the eighth day of November, the Yexian army, which had already plundered three days of rations, began to split up, attacking Dauma Pass and Zijing Pass together.

But he also led the army to the front of Zijing Pass first, just walked around and observed it, and then gave up the attack.

Just because the Bauhinia Gate was closed, [-] Ming soldiers suddenly appeared.I can't figure out where this all came from, but I will learn my wisdom first, and I won't attack the city again.

There is no point in defending the city with 2 people and attacking it with 5000 people.

Within three days, it is impossible to fight down.Three days later, the food supply will be exhausted, and the pursuers will arrive. At that time, the sky will not respond, and the land will not work.

So it was very realistic first, just took a few glances at the city wall of Zijingguan, and then withdrew.

This made Zhao Xuan, Gu Cong and others who were guarding the city very helpless. The emperor had issued a death order and they were absolutely not allowed to leave the city.Now no one dares to disobey the emperor's edict, let alone the personal guards of the emperor's direct line, so Zhao Xuan and others just watched helplessly and withdrew their troops first.

He also marched rapidly day and night, and arrived at Daomaguan after a day and a half.

He had already rushed to defeat Maguan for two days and nights in the Wala side division. After the main force arrived first, the morale was greatly boosted and the offensive became more violent.

As for the [-] defenders led by Sun Xiang and Han Qing, a large part of them had their hearts attached to the Supreme Emperor. In addition, the defense system of Daomaguan was not complete. Finally, after three days and nights, the Ming army was defeated and the city pass was destroyed. .

Sun Xiang and Han Qing died in battle, and the Ming army scattered and fled.

And Wala also lost troops and lost generals, paying the price of more than [-] casualties.

Yexian's army was downsized to 5000.

So I didn't dare to stop at Daomaguan for a long time. After sweeping the food and supplies in the pass, I marched westward and returned to my home stadium, Shanxi.

On November [-]th, just one day after Yexian's army left, Shi Heng led the army to Daomaguan.

So Shi Heng, Sun Tong, Liu Yongcheng, Jin Ying, Xing'an, Cheng Jing, and Yang Shan began to get together to discuss the next step.

First of all, Shi Heng said regretfully: "Guo Jia said: "Soldiers are expensive and fast. It's a pity that we made a mistake. The emperor stationed [-] troops at Zijingguan, blocking Yexian's main force for us.

If we could have arrived in time, we could have attacked back and forth and wiped them out in one fell swoop.But our [-] troops dragged their feet and moved slowly.

This is all right, not only missed the god-given opportunity, but also left Daomaguan isolated and helpless, and finally fell, Fang also successfully returned to Shanxi first.

Your Majesty's previous strategic plan has completely failed, and we will just wait to be reprimanded by the decree. "

After hearing Shi Heng's words, the one with the ugliest face was Jin Ying.As the number one eunuch in the inner court, he was sent by the emperor to supervise the army, but he was unfavorable as soon as he came up.Now wait to be cleaned up by the emperor.

But Xing'an at the side didn't think so, but urged everyone: "The main task His Majesty entrusted to us is to rescue the Supreme Emperor.

The Wala army is short of food and cannot last long. Now that the weather is cold, they must rush back to Datong to rest.

Therefore, we speed up our march and take an army of one hundred thousand to the city of Datong, and it is also possible to make a decisive battle first. "

Sun Tong replied: "If this is really possible, why should we be upset? After passing Daomaguan, there is a large area of ​​mountains ahead. Once the army falls, it will immediately be another battle of Yanghekou."

Xing'an replied unconvinced: "The soldiers of Wala are tired and horseless, and food and grass are in short supply. How can they have the intention to fight an ambush. As long as they are not stupid, they will definitely rush to Datong first to rest."

Shi Heng and Sun Tong wanted to act conservatively, but Jin Ying and Xing'an were afraid that they would also quickly retreat to the grassland and rush to Datong.

The two sides are deadlocked, and neither can persuade the other.

But Liu Yongcheng and Cheng Jing kept silent and did not want to participate in the quarrel.
