The first thousand five hundred and ninety-seventh chapters

Emperor Tianqi fell ill in late spring, coughing and wheezing, and vomiting blood. His body, which was not strong, became thin.

By the end of summer, the emperor's health gradually improved, and at least he became healthy on the surface. He had less cough and asthma and became much more energetic.

It was with the support of the body that the emperor had a new round of appointments of frontier officials and generals, sorted out the nine borders, and acted very accurately and skillfully, and was very old-fashioned, which made the officials in the court very respectful.

After Lin Danhan was captured and Nurhaci died violently, Emperor Tianqi reduced the color of the Liao soldiers by 600,000 and corresponding true colors. The western part of Liao had to eliminate more than 10,000 old and weak people, cut out the army to serve as the garrison to save expenses.

This is certainly not very pleasant for western Liaoning, but it can only be followed by the order.

In fact, it was conducted once in the fourth year of the Tianqi. From the fourth year of the Tianqi to the fifth year of the Tianqi, the imperial court transferred a large number of passenger generals and the troops from the defense lines of Jinzhou and Qiantun in order to save money, which directly led to the emptiness of western Liaoning. Losing the garrison of a large number of generals and Needing, the outer defense line of western Liaoxi became extremely empty. There were many reasons for the disastrous defeat in the sixth year of the Tianqi, and the imperial court's self-removal was also a very important reason.

When Yuan Chonghuan took office during the Chongzhen period, sorting out the battalions of the western Liaoning battalions, eliminating the old and weak and unqualified soldiers, and reducing the number of military personnel who were paid by Yuan Chonghuan.

There were many records at that time, and they all counted the number of people rated for military pay and reduced the number of people paid as much as possible to reduce the burden on the court.

So no one accused the emperor of the fact that the military pay was too heavy and the court could not afford it. This is a well-known fact.

The emperor reduced the Liao salary and did not waste the palace expenses, but used them in Xuanda. A large amount of money and food began to pour into Xuanda, and a small part entered the Dongjiang River, which claimed to have made great contributions.

"The cabinet must tell Mao Shuai to know." Emperor Tianqi worked in the Dongnuan Pavilion. Since the situation was tense, the emperor's attention to military and political affairs has increased a lot. After all, the emperor knew that the world was far from peace, and he was not only not as easy as Emperor Chenghua of Xianzong, but he could not compare with Emperor Shenzong.

Tianqi said to the eunuch of the Sili who was standing bent, "Don't waste it arbitrarily, and do not appoint non-humans. If any military pay is embezzled and wasted, the general will be seriously responsible!"

"After the cabinet gets the order to be revisited, I will show you it!"

The eunuch Sili agreed, while writing a draft of the insult, from Sili to the cabinet, the decree was the official decree. After the cabinet was drafted, the decree was polished and written was the formal decree. Then Sili approved the rebirth and could be issued in the name of the emperor.

This is a very skillful process. The emperor has also recorded many rebukes against Dongjiang Town in the past two years. This decree cannot be said to be very strict. However, after Dongjiang had more food and salary, the emperor was worried that something would happen again, so he warned Mao Wenlong in advance... Previously, the military salary of hundreds of thousands of taels of taels of Dongjiang Town was led away by the military officer and attacked the civil servants in Dengzhou without helping to catch the criminals. This was simply ridiculous and funny. Emperor Tianqi was displeased and scolded Mao Wenlong very severely.

People in later generations always think of Mao Wenlong as a great hero, and it seems that there is no moral flaw. This is the same as those who support Yuan or defeat Yuan. The great hero may be a corrupt criminal, which is not contradictory. Civil officials who make mistakes may also have some outstanding highlights. If Mao Wenlong is a pure corrupt criminal, he cannot be the general of Dongjiang. If he is really a hero with flawless personal morality, he cannot be the general of Dongjiang.

"Lu Xiangsheng asked to allocate another 30,000 yuan in color and correspond to the true colors. The cabinet allowed him to allocate as soon as possible."

"I have received the order."

When Tianqi said this, he finally took some action on Jizhen's affairs and said: "Every city gates are opened, quickly place the escaped people in the city, and open a porridge factory to comfort them. All the escaped people are innocent. The weather is cold, don't let them die of starvation on the streets of the capital."

"I have received the order."

"I ordered the factory ministers to instruct the Governor of Ji Liao, the Governor of Shuntian, and the General of Ji Town to report in detail what the situation in the border town is. How many soldiers and horses of the Hutchison Army attacked the border, whether it had attacked the gate, and what requirements it had, report it quickly and in detail."

"Get the order."

"The Prime Minister and the Rongzheng, the Rongzheng, and the Minister of the Rongzheng, the Rongzheng, will be on guard. From today on, the martial law will be strictly imposed in the capital."

Speaking of this, Apocalypse felt a little tired, and the young emperor felt a little embarrassed on his face.

He hesitated and said, "The five cities of the military personnel surrounding the Hutchison Trading Company are withdrawn, so there will be no trouble."

The eunuch Sili quickly bowed and replied, "I have received the order!"

This time the emperor didn't say anything, but the eunuch Sili did not withdraw. He knew that the emperor might have something else to ask when he thought about it.

This time, the proposal of Hutchison was a few censors who had no obvious party background. Of course, it was not clear that Hutchison was banned. No one wanted to take the blame.

However, since Zhang Han has honestly returned to Xinpingbao, he is looking at Hutchison's big and special profits, earning military expenses for the merchant army on the grassland, and suppressing the trend of Hutchison's movements seems to be a very good choice.

This matter should be a major event proposed by Cui Chengxiu and Huo Weihua and Wei-xian, who allowed Wei Zhongxian to implement it. After implementation, the Tianjin Port was sealed and the Hutchison convoy was banned. Although it was not at the end of the final seal of all Hutchison stores, the distance they were taking was about the same.

It was originally quite smooth, and even after Tianqi found out, he did not expect that Hutchison was so decisive. He completely ignored Zhang Han's still in Xinping Fort, and even launched a large army to invade.

Tianqi was also surprised and confused. Could there be something wrong with Hutchison and someone wanted to replace Zhang Han?

It is unlikely to think about it. The court now understands that Hutchison is a group brought by Zhang Han. Zhang Han is the real core. In a short period of time, no one should have such prestige to replace him.

If you think about it, someone might use this to threaten the court to throw a frightened weapon and block a port and make a large army attack. If the court takes any measures against Zhang Han, it may be necessary to face a real war.

"Those are also loyal." Tianqi didn't know what it felt like in his heart, so he shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that this loyalty was used in the wrong place!"

The emperor finally said, "Nothing is wrong yet. If there is any new news, I will quickly go to the palace to report it to me. If there is new news tonight, I will change urgently and stuff it in from the palace gate."

The eunuch Sili agreed, and saw that the emperor was really speechless, so he bowed and slowly withdrew. Because he was too shocked and worried, the eunuch Sili did not pay attention to his feet. When he retreated to the palace gate, he was tripped by the tall threshold. He almost fell down, but no one paid attention. Everyone's focus was on the emperor alone. The eunuch was in a mess, but he quickly turned around and left the palace and went to do business according to the emperor's will.

The east warm pavilion of Ganqing Palace was quiet and silent. Only the charcoal in the copper furnace in the indoor room made a slight explosion from time to time. This was the sound of burning. The room was as warm as spring. The palace and courtyard outside were also very clean. The snow had been cleaned up long ago. More than a hundred people were cleaning the Ganqing Palace every day.

At around 10 o'clock in the morning, someone had already delivered breakfast to the main hall. The actual contents of the dishes were dozens of dishes, with silver basins on top and charcoal fires on the bottom. They were all cooked from a large pot and a large stove. They were soft and glutinous and spicy, and the taste was quite bad. Tianqi handled the most urgent military and political affairs and walked out of the warm pavilion. In the main hall, the emperor took a look at the food. He really had no appetite, but he was unwilling to go to the palace of any concubine to eat the stove. The emperor's desire for the belly was quite simple. He didn't like women either. Compared with his ancestors, Emperor Tianqi really didn't have much extravagance to spend money. He was not as happy as Emperor Chengzu, and he had tormented the family fortune left by Taizu. He was not as good as Emperor Xianzong liked all kinds of novel and craftsmanship. The palace juggling teams raised many. During the Chenghua period, there were thousands of officials, painters, calligraphy, and antiques. When Emperor Xianzong was happy, he rewarded them with official positions, doctors, and Taoists, and all of them could be officials.

Emperor Xiaozong liked to subsidize his relatives and indulged them in plundering wealth. Emperor Shizong liked to practice elixirs, which cost a lot. Emperor Shenzong loved gold and silver, and the late Emperor Guangzong liked women, so the more the more the better.

Emperor Tianqi only likes to do woodworking. He is a standard otakus from later generations. He likes to assemble models and watch small objects gradually take shape in his hands. Only those with common preferences understand the happiness.

Occasionally, when the emperor is idle, he will travel to the Xiyuan with his concubines, and ride a boat on the lake. The scenery is beautiful, and the breeze blows on his face, giving him a sense of relaxation and joy.

In winter, the emperor would go skating. Hundreds of small eunuchs surrounded the emperor and ran wildly on the ice surface with ice carts. Under such stimulation, the emperor would shout happily.

Apart from that, the emperor had no hobbies.

He is just a thin otaku who likes to put together models.

After sorting out the government affairs, most of the government affairs were handed over to the eunuch party led by Wei Zhongxian. The emperor was concerned about whether the major policies were implemented smoothly, and some restraining forces were placed in the court or local governments, so that the eunuch party was too dominant.

He was very concerned about the old emperors such as Sun Chengzong, but the emperor did not care about the Donglin Party members killed by the eunuchs.

The emperor is a kind person, but the emperor is not a weak person. He will kill him if he deserves to be killed. The emperor will not have any objection.

After eating a few bites of rice, I soaked a bowl of green rice in pheasant soup, and after eating the Apocalypse grass, I stood up.

The emperor's signs who served in front of the emperor and people all saw that the emperor was restless and a little restless.

They also knew what happened in Jizhen and knew that there were strong enemies attacking the Ming Dynasty. Once they fought, it might be much more serious than the invasion of the Eastern Gangs.
