Zhang Zhun completely ignored Shi Kefa's anger and helplessness and continued to say slowly: "If I were to command, I would dare to let the Tartars go without any compensation. Unfortunately, I only let me take charge of the military affairs of Qingzhou Prefecture, even if I have the ability, I would not be able to play it out! Since the court has such an arrangement, what is the relationship between the creatures outside Qingzhou Prefecture and the devastating creatures outside Qingzhou Prefecture? That is the business of your court! Those creatures poisoned by Tartars, after they become ghosts, should go to you to settle the scores!"

Shi Kefa couldn't help but ask directly: "Zhang Zhun, why are you determined to fight against the court? You have already obtained enough! You are now a first-class military officer, ranked at the top. You are in charge of Dongjiang Town, the three prefectures, and command tens of thousands of troops. What else are you not satisfied with?"

Zhang Zhun slowly restrained his smile and said coldly: "Your question is a good question! We need to open the skylight and speak out! Shi Kefa, I ask you, what do you think of the current court? Don't you feel shy when you are with such a court?"

Shi Kefa was slightly suffocated, and he wanted to speak but stopped.

What do you think of the current court? Shi Kefa doesn't need to go through his brain to produce a bunch of derogatory words: treacherous ministers are in power, people are overdoing things, corruption, and corruption... Officials only want to make money, just want to live and die in drunkenness, and spend money on the world. The army is even more corruption-making, and officers are busy eating empty wages and drinking blood in their soldiers, and their minds are not above war. When the Tartars came, they turned around and ran away, and they were not willing to fight with the Tartars at all.

Shi Kefa roughly learned the general situation from the Minister of Revenue Hou Xun in the West Nursing Pavilion. This made Shi Kefa feel even more painful. Taicang silver was the treasury fund of the Ming Dynasty, and now it is less than 800,000 taels. However, the great prime minister Wen Tiren Wen had a property of no less than 500,000 taels. Even Liu Zongzhou and others had no less than 300,000 taels. Each official was full of money, only the treasury was abnormally empty.

Is this a normal country?

Of course not!

Idiots can feel that the Ming Kingdom is now on a wrong path. It is not that the Ming Kingdom has no wealth, but what the Ming Kingdom has is wealth. However, these wealth is not concentrated in the hands of the country, but in the royal relatives, and in the hands of the great bureaucrats and landlords. Not to mention anything else, the property of the eight major salt merchants in Yangzhou alone has been liquidated, and there are tens of millions of taels of silver.

What can thousands of taels of silver be used for?

You can form at least 100,000 elite Liaodong cavalry!

If it weren't for this, how could the small Jianlu be so rampant? If it weren't for this, how could the civil unrest in Shaanxi resurrect? As long as the wealth in the hands of royal relatives and major bureaucrats and landlords leaked out a little to the treasury, the court could arm at least 100,000 troops and rescue millions of victims.

If 100,000 cavalry fight against the Tartars, the Tartars will definitely not be arrogant. The victims who receive effective relief will naturally not rebel with Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others. From then on, the world will be peaceful, at least it will not be as painful as it is now. Everything will be fine.

Unfortunately, this is just a beautiful idea and it is impossible to achieve. It is easy for these people to desperately embezzle the country's property. However, it is difficult to dig out the silver from them. Even if it is just one or two taels of silver, they should not think that they will hand it over quickly.

Shi Kefa suddenly became furious, stood up suddenly, and left with his sleeves.

Zhang Zhun looked at Shi Kefa leaving coldly without saying a word.

"Mo Yu."

Zhang Zhun suddenly shouted.

"What are the instructions for the sir?"

Mo Yu hurried in.

"You don't want to go back to the capital, we don't need to continue to deal with the imperial court."

Zhang Zhun said as if nothing had happened.

"I understand."

Mo Yu said sternly.

He understood that from now on, Zhang Zhun and the court broke up again. And from then on, there would be no possibility of cooperation again. As the wings of the Hu Ben Army gradually became more abundant, Zhang Zhun expanded his territory and did not need to go through the court at all. He just took it over where he wanted it.

After Mo Yu left, someone rushed over again. It was the team of the Leopard Cavalry who was in Yingyou.

Yu Yingyou reported directly: "Sir, we have discovered the scout of the Tartars!"

Zhang Zhun nodded calmly and asked calmly: "What's the situation?"

Yu Yingyou introduced the situation at that time in detail.

Zhang Zhun nodded and said in a deep voice: "Where is the corpse of the Tartar?"

Yu Yingyou hurriedly said, "It's just outside."

Zhang Zhun stood up and walked outside. After a while, he came to the corpses of the five Tartars. In order to retain more information, the corpses of the five Tartars were basically not moved. Even the gold, silver and jewelry they plundered were still in deer skin pockets, and the blood stains on them were not wiped off.

"It's the man from Zhenghongqi."

After carefully checking, Zhang Zhun said slowly.

The banner owner of Zhenghong Banner is Ajige. According to information, Ajige broke into Xifengkou after Haoge and Abatai entered the pass from Gubeikou. From this, it was judged that Ajige was not the vanguard of the Tartars. However, this kid's marching speed was obviously faster than Haoge. When Haoge was still in Huairou, Ajige had already fought from Zunhua to Xianghe and Tongzhou.

Such crazy marching speed is very powerful even for the Tartars. Zhang Zhun had to guess whether Ajige was stimulated. If the other slave chiefs had marching speeds as hard as Ajige, the Ming army around the capital would probably not even have time to deploy defense.

In fact, Ajige was indeed stimulated. Ajige and the trapped Dorgon and Dodo are brothers of the same father and mother. Since Dorgon and Dodo were trapped, Ajige has been planning day and night to rescue his two younger brothers as soon as possible. This time, Ajige's Zhenghong Banner in Nanluo, the Great Jin Dynasty was indeed not a vanguard. However, under Ajige's shouting, the Zhenghong Banner snatched in front of Haoge's yellow flag and was the first to approach the capital.

Yang Zhiyuan pondered and said, "Sir, Ajige is running so fast, probably coming to Dengzhou City."

Zhang Zhun nodded and said slowly: "Yes, Ajige may not besiege the capital and go straight to the south."

Generally speaking, after the Tartars entered the pass, the first action was to siege the capital, cut off the connection between the Ming Dynasty's nerve center and various places, and put the Ming army in various places into a state of paralysis. Haoge and Abatai were responsible for this task. However, Azige was not the vanguard of the Tartars, so it was very likely that he would not participate in the operation of surrounding the capital, and went south directly to launch an assault on Shandong. The so-called speed of soldiers is the most important thing, and this is what Azige may be interested in.

All the officers suddenly became excited, and some people were rubbing their palms excitedly.

"Do you have any questions?"

After Zhang Zhun finished speaking, his eyes swept across and asked loudly.

Zhong Wuying raised his hand and signaled. After receiving approval, he stood up and asked loudly: "Sir, should you drag the body of the Tartar that was beaten to death?"

Zhang Zhun said solemnly: "No need. However, you can leave handwriting next to the body, just say that they were killed by my Zhang Zhun's troops. I, Zhang Zhun, are in Dongjiabao, and the Tatars have the ability to come here."

Zhong Wuying answered seriously: "Then I want Mo Yu to write hundreds of more notices, kill a Tartar, and stuff one on him. By the way, does Mo Yu understand Mongolian? The Tartars may not understand it!"

The other officers burst into laughter.

Liu Jixiang stood up and asked, "Sir, where is the Tartars' war horse? Should I drag it back?"

Zhang Zhun glared at him fiercely.

Liu Jixiang hurriedly said, "Sir, I understand, I will drag it back."

After saying that, he hurriedly sat down.

Zhong Wuying whispered: "Old Liu, you idiot, don't want the war horse, just give it to me."

Liu Jixiang whispered: "You know what's the matter! I'm going to ambush, but I was discovered."

Zhong Wuying then reacted and then gave a thumbs up, saying that the boy was awesome and dared to ambush under the nose of the governor. He really didn't want to mess around. But the governor was also full of sharp eyes. How could you make your kid come true? No matter how many Tartar war horses he seized, he should just surrender them honestly! Want to ambush? Dreaming!

Zhang Zhun waved his hand and calmed everyone down and continued, "In addition, I want to remind everyone of some things. Everyone knows it in their hearts. This time, the army of the court is cooperating with us. On the south of us, there are the official army of Shandong. On the north of us, there are Wu Sangui and Xu Dingguo."

"What I want to remind everyone is. First, don't have too high expectations for the combat effectiveness of the official army, and don't think that the official army can block the Tartars. Everything must be imagined based on the worst case scenario. The combat effectiveness of the official army is too frustrated and will be completely disintegrated once it is rushed by the Tartar cavalry in the wild. Ordinary towns will not last long."

"Second, don't think that the government army is really our ally. We are in opposition to the court. Everyone must always be alert to this. If you are not careful, the government army will stab you in the back. For this, you must be careful."

All the officers looked stern and listened carefully.

Zhang Zhun waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "The meeting ended."
Chapter completed!
