Chapter 5 The only available card is Warlordization!
What's wrong with the emperor? What happened after a furious talk? It sounds like he wants to rectify Sun Chuanting, but the actual conditions are to strengthen his power. The governor-general of Sichuan and Shaanxi responded to the military and civil affairs, and also raised his own food and salary
, asking Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces to hand over all fiscal revenue to Sun Chuanting's governor-general. This does not sound like punishing him, but to make him a local emperor. Chen Xinjia and others were stunned for a long time after hearing the emperor's words.
When they realized it, this was not the ending they expected.
The reason why Chen Xinjia and others proposed to force Sun Chuanting to lead troops out of Shaanxi as soon as possible was not because they did not understand the current situation at all, but because they understood the situation too well. Kaifeng, the capital of Henan, had been besieged for a long time, and thieves were running rampant in it.
Based on the current understanding of the emperor, he will definitely be very anxious at this time and ask the Ministry of War to find a way to solve the problem!
Is there any way to deceive the current situation? The only way that can be thought of is to use Sun Chuanting. His soldiers still have some fighting strength, and he is the only one who can barely mobilize field troops. If not him, who will be mobilized? It's a fool's errand.
This is one aspect, and obtaining military spending from the emperor is also a factor. Although the Ministry of War is becoming more and more independent, and many of the country's key strategic plans are currently in their hands, after all, they are not the cabinet that truly controls the defeat.
If you want money, you have to get the budget from the cabinet first. The Ministry of Revenue or the internal treasury gives the money to the Ministry of War, and then the Ministry of War will have money to spend. Chen Xinjia asked the emperor to collect enough military pay for Sun Chuanting to urge him to go to war.
It's strange that there are no twists and turns here. After a million dollars was allocated, how much of it actually got into Sun Chuanting's hands? The cabinet had a hand, the Ministry of Revenue had a hand, and the people from the Ministry of War had a hand, plus a mess.
With one hand, if two to three hundred thousand yuan of this money can be handed over to Lao Sun, it is already quite good.
In the real historical time and space, Chongzhen seems to have really collected one million to give to Sun Chuanting. It seems that Lao Sun also received this money, otherwise he would not have been able to lead the Qin soldiers out of Tongguan. I just don’t know how much money he got.
.
"Your Majesty, it is very inappropriate to ask Sun Boya to raise military expenses and recruit soldiers by himself in Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces! First of all, it takes time to raise food and wages. It will take him several months at the fastest to raise money in Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces. The military situation is like a raging fire.
, Such a delay will delay the war. Kaifeng City is already in such crisis, there is no time to wait any longer! Secondly, letting him raise his own food and salary will encourage his arrogance. Now it will be difficult for him to dispatch. If he is given a governor
Once the two provinces of Sichuan and Shaanxi have the authority to handle affairs, he will be able to find more reasons not to leave Shaanxi. If this thing comes true, the consequences will be endless, and I will never forget that Your Majesty will think twice. The two provinces of Sichuan and Shaanxi are dilapidated, and even raising food may not be possible.
Enough for military use!”
Anyone who writes in the history books is not an idiot. Chen Xinjia still has some specialties. He quickly woke up from the emperor's routine of playing cards out of the box and quickly organized his language to rebut Chongzhen.
"Jian Heng, why don't I know what you said? But the national affairs have reached this point, how can there be any appropriate solution? Where do the millions of food and wages come from! We can only use expedient measures to let Boya take care of the country.
Now. Tell me, let him raise his own food and pay. When will he be able to mobilize his troops and leave Shaanxi?" The topic must be diverted away from this matter quickly, otherwise Chen Xinjia will continue to dwell on this matter and the matter will remain in a stalemate.
Here, Zhu Youjian is quite familiar with the topic of guiding topics. After all, he worked in sales for a period of time before time travel. Isn't it just to use more specific and detailed topics to lead the conversational person's thinking?
"I'm afraid it will take at least half a year, no, it should take even longer. Under normal circumstances, taxes will not be collected until October. Shaanxi is dilapidated and cannot collect much money. The situation in Sichuan is better, but
It will take until the end of the year at the earliest to transport the money and grain to Shaanxi. Sun Boya, who has raised the money and grain, still needs time to organize the army. As a result, it will not be possible until the spring of next year at the earliest before he can leave Sichuan. Today, the Central Plains and
Henan really can’t wait for such a long time.”
"Next spring at the earliest? Kaifeng has been besieged for such a long time. It's really hard to wait any longer! Members of the military, who among you has a way to delay Kaifeng until next spring?"
Hey, our emperor is also a genius! Who said that we should let Sun Chuanting delay sending troops until next spring? This is not our plan! You came up with the idea yourself, and now you let us wipe your ass.
Several other people who suddenly arrived were eager to take the lead after hearing this, and they all said that they could not keep Kaifeng alive until next spring, and the best solution now was for the imperial court to collect money for Sun Chuanting.
I know there is nothing you can do. If there is a way, this matter will not be easy to handle. Kaifeng is already in a dead place, and it is possible to save it. Besides, the soul in Zhu Youjian's body at this time has no intention to save Kaifeng.
.In less than six hundred days, the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed. Compared with this, what is the city of Kaifeng?
"Since you dear sirs have no choice, let's discuss this matter here first! I will summon the ministers of the cabinet later to see if they can raise the money! Gentlemen, please go back to the Ministry of War to deal with urgent matters first, and wait for the cabinet ministers to discuss it here.
After the ministers have discussed, we will discuss the matter again. My dear companion, I will send some of my dear friends from the Ministry of War out of the palace, and then send the ministers to the main hall to discuss the matter."
Several important members of the Ministry of War, who were almost expelled by the emperor, looked at each other on the way out of the palace. Today's meeting with the emperor seemed to have talked about a lot of things, but it seemed that they had gained nothing. After talking for a long time, they were all surrounded by people.
The matter of Sun Chuanting was swirling around. Other military information was not mentioned at all, which was not in line with expectations.
"Brother Heng, there seems to be a lot of things left unsaid today! What should we do?" As soon as Zhang Guowei left the palace, he rushed to Chen Xinjia and wanted to discuss with him what to do after returning.
"Yu Shi, it's best to wait until the Holy Emperor and the cabinet have discussed Sun Boya's matter, and then we can worry about it again."
"What will be the attitude of the cabinet? Can they allocate military pay to Boya?"
"It's hard to say. The cabinet and the Ministry of Revenue will definitely have no money. Now it's up to them to find a way to get His Majesty to pay from the internal treasury."
"Will Yusheng and the others try their best to persuade His Majesty to take the money?"
"It should be possible, otherwise we have to agree to His Majesty's decision to let Sun Boya serve as governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi! This is not something that our Ministry of War family cannot accept, but it is even more unacceptable for the cabinet. As long as Yusheng and the others are not confused, they will not agree to this.
"
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor's arrangements are to strengthen Sun Chuanting's power. If these arrangements are implemented, Sun Chuanting will become the king of Sichuan and Shaanxi! It won't take long for him to become a real warlord.
This matter is definitely unacceptable to the central court. The court relies on financial power to control military leaders. If you hand over financial power to military leaders like Sun Chuanting, what else can the Ministry of War do to control him? For the cabinet,
It's the same principle. If this thing comes true, Zhou Yanru and the others will be in vain!
In order not to draw money from the internal treasury, the emperor could come up with such a confused idea. It was really stupid. Sun Chuanting became a warlord, which should be even more unacceptable to him.
If Zhu Youjian in the palace knew what Chen Xinjia and others were thinking at this time, he would definitely scold them. What does it mean to be blind? This is a clever trick that I have been thinking about for nearly a month. I just want to let Sun Chuanting
Such people become warlords! The current Ming Dynasty is not that there are too many warlords, but that there are no qualified warlords! If you knew what the Ming Dynasty would become in the next few years, you would not be surprised by what is happening today. Hurry up.
Supporting a group of real warlords is the only feasible plan that Zhu Youjian can think of. Apart from this method, he really has no other cards to play!
