Ming Dynasty: The opening spoiler: Chongzhen is the king who lost his country

Ask the father-in-law to pass the decree, but I can't ask anything, and the person who travels a long way to this place where the bird doesn't lay eggs will naturally not be a confidant, and it is a high probability to not know the inside story.

Hong Chengchou couldn't guess what was going on, and he didn't guess it, it wouldn't be a bad thing anyway, so he packed up and rushed to the capital with his father-in-law.

......

In the imperial study, the emperor is reading a book.

At this time, Wang Chengen came to tell him that Hong Chengchou, the governor of Shaanxi Province, came to see him, and Emperor Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he was one of the candidates recommended by Yun Zheng to suppress bandits, so he arranged to be summoned on the platform.

In ancient times, the selection of officials was to pay attention to appearance, and the appearance must be thoughtful, and it was not impossible for people to want to be officials, very few. At this time, Hong Chengchou was in the prime of life, thirty-seven years old, with thick eyebrows, long beard, and a long official appearance.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he first had a good first impression in his heart, and after he calmed down, he said: "Someone recommended Aiqing to me, saying that Aiqing has a lot of experience in suppressing bandits in the northwest, I wonder if Aiqing can tell me about it?"

As soon as Hong Chengchou heard it, he understood that it was really not the credit of more than 200 thieves, but who would recommend it, and he didn't seem to have any strong reinforcements in the court.

Thinking about it, the question of the saint still had to be answered immediately, so he said: "Your Majesty has won the award, and Weichen does not dare to be it." However, Weichen has been in the northwest for a long time, and he has an idea about the situation in the northwest. "

Emperor Chongzhen directly ignored Hong Chengchou's previous words and said, "Tell me about it." "

Hong Chengchou replied: "Your Majesty, the matter in the northwest is first due to natural disasters, and then due to improper local handling, so that the victims become hungry, and the hungry people become thieves. "

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, his heart sank, and his body couldn't help leaning forward slightly, and asked, "What is the best way to govern it?"

Hong Chengchou said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, Weichen has three strategies. "

Oh, there are three strategies for the upper, middle and lower, so familiar, Emperor Chongzhen thought, so he asked cooperatively: "What are the three strategies of Aiqing, tell me quickly." "

Hong Chengchou replied: "The best policy, make every effort to provide disaster relief, and if the people have food, the thieves will disperse, and the remaining few are not to worry about." "

If I had so much food, I wouldn't have been able to sleep well.

Emperor Chongzhen thought about it and didn't speak, just looked at Hong Chengchou.

After a pause, without seeing Emperor Chongzhen speak, Hong Chengchou continued: "The middle strategy, block the border of the disaster area, mobilize effective troops, and make every effort to strangle the rebellious people, once and for all." "

Emperor Chongzhen was shocked, how can this be done, they are all my people, all of them have been killed, it will hurt the peace of the heavens, not to mention what the world will say about me, I can't do it.

"The next policy is to use both soothing and soothing, first slashing and then soothing, depending on the grain and grass, the grain is less and the main is the soothing, and the more grain is the main care. The imperial court had to go to great lengths. "

Hong Chengchou didn't wait for Emperor Chongzhen to ask, he finished talking together, and then waited for Emperor Chongzhen to speak.

After listening to this, Emperor Chongzhen silently did not speak, and sighed in his heart, it is still a matter of money, but I have no money.

Thinking of Yun Zheng's grass folk theory, the grass people are just trying to survive, as long as there is a way to live, they will not rebel, it seems that they really can't live.

Hong Chengchou waited quietly, knowing that Emperor Chongzhen was not easy to choose, in fact, many people in the court knew the three strategies he said.

Emperor Chongzhen made up his mind, and said to Hong Chengchou: "Liaodong's military expenditure has exhausted the treasury, and there is no strength to go all out to provide disaster relief at present, but the rebellious people are also my people, and they are forced to follow the thieves out of desperation, so I think your next strategy is a feasible strategy at present." Hong Chengchou stepped forward to listen to the seal. "

When Hong Chengchou heard this, he stepped forward and knelt down.

Emperor Chongzhen said: "I have appointed you as the governor of Yansui, and I am fully responsible for the suppression of bandits in the northwest. "

Hong Chengchou heard that the grain and grass had to be solved by himself, and he wanted to relieve the disaster more people, this task was too arduous, but he couldn't help it, he had worked hard for so many years to climb up, that is, to get rid of the fate of working hard for food, clothing, housing and transportation every day, and the experience of poor life when he was a child has been deeply imprinted in his mind.

Hong Chengchou then received the order to thank him.

Because of Yun Zheng's recommendation, Hong Chengchou was promoted to the governor of Yansui more than half a year earlier than in the original history.

When Hong Chengchou was leaving, Emperor Chongzhen instructed: "Do it well, do it boldly and boldly, my northwest depends on you, I hope you will stabilize the northwest as soon as possible, and don't live up to my trust." "

Hong Chengchou said that there was no problem on the surface, but secretly slandered in his heart, if he wanted to make the horse run and not give the horse grass, would it be easy for me, for the sake of today's plan, I had to go back and kill a piece first.

Not long after Hong Chengchou was sent away, Qin Liangyu rushed to the capital division.

Qin Liangyu has a much richer resume than Hong Chengchou, and she is also a female general, Emperor Chongzhen is very interested, and immediately met Qin Liangyu on the platform.

Qin Liangyu was dressed in the general uniform, more than one meter and eight meters tall, wearing shiny armor, and his instrument was magnificent, although he was 56 years old, and his sideburns occasionally saw white hair, but he still showed heroic spirit.

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but secretly praise when he saw it, gave Qin Liangyu a seat, and then lala, praising the loyalty of the Qin family. Finally, he began to ask Qin Liangyu about his experience in the Rebellion of Luxury and An.

Originally, Qin Liangyu was a little dissatisfied with Emperor Chongzhen's recruitment of Jingshi at the last moment to exterminate luxury and peace, so he deliberately came to meet him with the armor of a military general.

But now that he was praised by Emperor Chongzhen, a trace of dissatisfaction dissipated with the wind.

Qin Liangyu told Emperor Chongzhen based on his experience of 1510, what he said was reasonable and modest, thrilling and dangerous, and Emperor Chongzhen listened to it with relish, as if he was there.

After finishing speaking, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly found the white hair on Qin Liangyu's sideburns while reminiscing, and couldn't help but show a little bit that the female general used to be brave, but now she is old.

This is worth it, Qin Liangyu fought on the battlefield, and what she didn't like the most was that others said that she was old.

immediately said to Emperor Chongzhen, I am not old at all, I don't believe it, I will show you.

So, in the palace square, first riding a horse and archery, a hundred steps through Yang, and then a set of long tassel guns, the dance was loudly applauded by Emperor Chongzhen. The female Lian Po is really not old.

Qin Liangyu returned to Emperor Chongzhen after the performance, out of breath and sweating.

Emperor Chongzhen nodded again and again, and happily wrote a poem: Learn the Xichuan Eight Formations, and hold the talisman in the sleeve of the mandarin duck. The origin of women is willing to accept it, why should the general be a husband.

Qin Liangyu was also happy, and said that His Majesty would say it casually in the future, even if it was thousands of miles away, he would come desperately.

So, it made Emperor Chongzhen poetic, and came to another song: Shu brocade robes are cut by themselves, and the peach blossoms are immediately long. How many strange men in the world, who are willing to travel thousands of miles on the battlefield!

On the occasion of parting, Emperor Chongzhen named Qin Liangyu as the lady of the first order, and instructed me to train the troops well, train more troops, and help me clean up the southwest.

Qin Liangyu didn't think that he was a female streamer, he was so valued by His Majesty, and he would never forget His Majesty's kindness in this life, and he should repay him with death.
