"Your Majesty." There was no need for Chongzhen to have a headache. The Minister of Revenue Hou Xun had already stood up and scolded him: "When the orthodox period, the annual rate of the border was only 2020,000 taels. By the time of Wanli, the annual rate increased to 3

One hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and one hundred and

The average annual salary of Liao is more than 4 million taels. Now, the Ministry of Revenue only supports Liaodong's silver, which is already in a difficult position and can only support it. How can there be 7 million taels for squandering at will? I would like to think about it."

As he said that, Hou Xun immediately bowed.

"Let me calm down." Chongzhen rubbed his forehead. He was confused now and didn't know what to do. He accidentally turned to Wen Tiren, the chief assistant who was standing in front of His Excellency, and subconsciously said: "Wen Aiqing, you

What do you think?"

Wen Tiren's skinny body was like a slim body when he walked. The patches in the sleeves were vaguely visible. Anyone could not help but praise him. He was a honest and dedicated official. However,

, Who would have thought that behind the integrity, there are endless calculations and selfishness.

Wen Tiren said loudly: "Report to Your Majesty, I think the defeat in Chengdu is just an accident. Pei Ni was lucky enough to win 4 Sichuans, but it was not because of how good the army in his hands was to fight.

It was taking advantage of the loopholes in the court."

"Oh?" This statement was fresh. Chongzhen's fatigue just now swept away, and he turned to look at Wen Tiren intently, hoping that he would continue to say it.

"From the war report, although Chen Qiyu arranged for the three sides of the governor Hong Chengchou to restrain Pei Ni from Shaanxi, arranged for the four Sichuan Governor Wang Weizhang and the four Sichuan Governor Hou Liangzhu to go north to resist the enemy, he and Lu Xiangsheng were on the way and attacked the thieves from Yunyang after attacking the thieves from

Lu Ran, Chen Qiyu's arrangement seemed to have three routes attacked together and attacked together, but in fact it was just a repeat of Yang Haosarhu's mistakes.

First of all, in the north, and in Yunyang, the mountains and forests are high and the roads are blocked. The bandits only need a small amount of troops to restrain the main force of the official army, allowing them to advance and retreat, and even miss the opportunity. The bandits can use Jiannu Nurhachi.

It is only a strategy of going to 1 route, and attacking the weak areas of 4 Sichuan with all its might. How can it be defeated?”

Chongzhen originally believed that compared with the official army, one official army could compete with ten bandits, and it was unimaginable that the official army was defeated and the bandits were defeated. Now, after hearing what Wen Tiren said, he firmly believed in his opinion, it was not a bandit.

Too strong, but there was a problem with the strategy of the official army at the beginning.

"Your Majesty, I have objections." Wen Zhenmeng could no longer listen to Wen Tiren's words and stood up and said, "I think the words of the chief minister are inappropriate."

Wen Zhenmeng's words immediately caused a big uproar in the court. Although Wen Zhenmeng was close to the emperor, he was only a seventh-rank official after all. Now he questioned the chief minister in front of all the civil and military officials of the court, and he was simply ignorant of the level of the court.

Sure enough, Chongzhen was a little unhappy, but he still gave him a face to the close person and said, "Wen Aiqing thought there was something wrong with it?"

"Your Majesty, I think there is no problem with Chen Qiyu's strategy. The thief is in the southwest, and the road is originally a place where the monkeys are worried. If you want to use troops here, you will also recruit a large army, put the people first and take every step of the way, so that

The best strategy is to finally eliminate the thieves.

Looking at Chen Qiyu's use of troops, it is in line with this. Hanzhong has experienced wars and scorched earth everywhere, and the people are scattered and 1 empty. Chen's troops are divided into three groups, and they fight against the thieves in a joint attempt to block the thieves in the Hanzhong Basin and wait for them to wait for them.

If the soldiers have no fighting spirit, the soldiers have no fighting spirit. When the food and grass are exhausted, it is the day to defeat the thieves.

It was only later that the rebels were lucky to defeat peace in the south and raided Chengdu, which led to the 4 Sichuan Governor Wang Weizhang retreating in a hurry, so he was passive everywhere. Therefore, I think that this battle is not a crime of war, but a rebels were lucky. If it could be given

In time, Chen Qiyu, I firmly believe that Lord Chen will be able to capture the thieves into the capital and offer them to the Taimiao.”

"Master Wen is really eloquent." Wen Tiren's eyes smiled into a gap, as if he didn't care about Wen Zhenmeng's confrontation, "But you said it yourself, and Chen Qiyu personally arranged it, so

In the end, the thief was given the opportunity and attacked the 4 Sichuan. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy will never be defeated. Chen Qiyu didn’t even know the combat power of the 4 Sichuan official army. Isn’t that a dereliction of duty?"

"This," Wen Zhenmeng never expected that Wen Tiren's reaction was so agile. He found a loophole in his speech in just a few breaths. This agility could be the prime minister of the dynasty, and it was indeed well-deserved that he was well-deserved.

.

"Along with that, since half a year ago, the bandit Zhang Xianzhong attacked Fengyang, Chen Qiyu and the governor of seven provinces went to recover, but after half a year, he had nothing to gain. Is he really incompetent? Or is he trying to raise the bandits to respect themselves?

”

Wen Zhenmeng had faint sweat stains on his cheeks, and he was speechless and could not answer. Chongzhen looked at him coldly, and he was determined, "The fall of 4 Sichuan was not the official army, but because of Chen Qiyu's mistake in the arrangement, he was caught by the thief.

The opportunity led to. Therefore, I decided to remove Chen Qiyu from his post as governor of seven provinces and take him to the capital to question him. As for the candidates for governors of seven provinces, I will be promoted as soon as possible.

I am tired, please retreat!" As he said that, Emperor Chongzhen took the lead and walked to the side.

"Retreat the court." As the eunuch's voice, the ministers in the hall knelt down one after another, shouting "Long live the 5 emperors."

After going down to court, Wen Zhenmeng's mansion. Wen Zhenmeng returned home with a dark face and angry. He ran into Fushe Zhang Pu, Xia Wanchun, their friends, Wang Bingzhong and others who were visiting his home.

.

When several people saw Wen Zhenmeng's expression, they knew that today's court situation might be unexpected. Before several people could sit down to see the tea, the gatekeeper rushed over to report that there were several officials outside the door asking for a visit.

Wen Zhenmeng was extremely tired and did not hear what the gatekeeper said. He only thought that a guest came to the door, so he came to report. Wen Zhenmeng waved his hand and said, "Let them come in."

After a while, more than a dozen people came in, all of them were gentlemen who were inclined toward the Donglin scholars. Some of them might be anxious and even had the court uniforms on their bodies to be replaced, so they ran here before they could change them.

Wen Zhenmeng 1 saw these people and his face became worse, saying, "Why did all your colleagues run to our mansion? Don't you have to be on duty?"

"Brother Wen has no intention of being on duty in this situation? Chen Qiyu is about to be taken down, so we should discuss countermeasures as soon as possible." It was Shi Yongan who spoke.

Wen Zhenmeng's forehead is faintly highlighted. Do these people really don't know, or do they deliberately ignore it. As we all know, the thing that I hate most today is to form cliques and make private interests. Now, these people are all running away in broad daylight.

If the hunting dogs from the Jinyiwei learned about it and reported it to the emperor, what would the emperor think of them? Would you think that they were forming cliques and making private interests and were confused?

"Brother Wen, what happened? Are you so panicked?" Zhang Pu asked curiously.

Before Wen Zhenmeng could answer, the other few people later told Zhang Pu about what happened in the court today. When they heard that Wen Tiren actually attacked Chen Qiyu together,

Zhang Pu felt bad in an instant.

"What else do you say? Chen Qiyu's improper arrangements have led to the loss of 4 Sichuan. I think it's Wen Tiren who wants to get involved in the military power of the Central Plains, so he tried every means to expel Chen Qiyu so that he could just replace him with his own people."

"That is, if you want to add a crime, there is no reason to worry. Wen Tiren, as the chief assistant, frames colleagues, deceives the emperor, and is greedy for power and power. It is really in vain to be the chief assistant."

"Stop talking about this, what should we do now? It's hard to convince Chen Qiyu to station troops in Jiangbei. It's not his crossing the river and disrupting the south. If Chen Qiyu loses power, then all our efforts will be wasted?

”

Everyone talked 7 words and 8 words, and they were so upset that Wen Zhenmeng was distracted.

Wang Bingzhong, who was beside him, observed all these things silently, and a smile flashed across the corner of his mouth. So far, his strategy went smoothly, and the court was once again trapped in party struggles, and no one had the heart to raise troops and fight against Sichuan in the south.
