,!
Chongzhen is a pity and even more tragic at the same time.
In Liu Heng's view.
This person is not without his own efforts. I am afraid that except for Ming Taizu, he is the hardest working emperor among the Ming emperors. He is also frugal and simple, but in the end he ends up hanging on a branch in the south.
It can only be said that this person does not have much political wisdom. Anyone who can compare with the later guy who calls himself Old Man Shiquan may not end up in his generation.
"I don't think it's a pity," Hong Chengchou said. "The more chaos there is in the court, the better it is for us. If he really comes back to think about it, it may not be a good thing for the Tiger Flag."
Hearing this, Liu Heng nodded and said, "Mr. Hong is right. Today's emperor seems smart, but in fact he is stupid. Under internal and external troubles, Ming Dynasty will be destroyed by him sooner or later."
"Based on the current situation, the only ones that can replace Ming are the Tiger Character Banner and the slave thieves of Liaodong. Of course, we do not rule out that other forces will appear in the future. However, I believe that the one who can replace Ming is most likely to be our Tiger Character Banner." Flag." Hong Chengchou said sincerely and flatteringly.
He didn't know much about the slave thieves in Liaodong, but the more he knew about the Tiger Flag, the more he realized how terrifying it was.
When the Tiger Character Banner attacked Shaanxi, they not only had to deal with the imperial power in Shaanxi, but also had to deal with the civil unrest in Shaanxi. Even so, it only took a few months.
And he participated in politics as the Chief Envoy of Shaanxi, and he knew the situation in Shaanxi best. The people could not survive at all, and the disaster relief food provided by the court could not be distributed to the people.
It can be said that as long as the people cannot survive, rebellions will still occur, and this will not change just because Shaanxi becomes ruled by the Tiger Flag.
However, the fact is that just after the Tiger Character Banner captured Shaanxi, a large amount of food was immediately shipped, ensuring the basic survival of the people in Shaanxi and cutting off the foundation of civil unrest.
And there are no people who are tyrannizing over the heads of the people of Shaanxi. Although Shaanxi is still poor, the people's lives have improved and they have a way to survive.
From this, he realized firsthand that the Tiger-Character Banner was not only powerful in terms of military force, but also had a good way of managing people's livelihood. These two points alone gave the Tiger-Character Banner the strength to separatist forces.
As for the Liaodong slave thieves, they were a separate party in name, but he despised them the most in his heart.
When food is in short supply, a separatist force that only thinks of killing people to reduce food consumption cannot exist for long.
Hearing Hong Chengchou's compliments, Liu Heng just smiled and said immediately: "If nothing happens, it won't be long before the entire Henan province is captured by the army. Someone will need to be in charge of Henan by then. Has Mr. Hong gone to Henan?" idea?"
"Should I go to Henan?" Hong Chengchou was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said, "Isn't it inappropriate for my subordinate to go to Henan, and my status is a bit embarrassing."
Although in his heart, he wanted to go to Henan.
After all, after going to Henan, he was equivalent to the chief envoy of the Tiger Character Banner in Henan, and he gradually became an important figure in the Tiger Character Banner.
But he knew his identity. At the moment, he was just a consultant around Liu Heng. In Ming terms, he was a staff member. If he stepped into the position of chief envoy of Henan, people in Henan might not be convinced by him.
As for whether he would be recognized by people in the court when he went to Henan, he no longer cared.
After taking over Henan, the situation of Tiger Flag will open up, and his relatives in his hometown will also be secretly taken to Datong, so there is no need to hide his identity.
For those Hong clan members who stayed in their hometown, he felt that he had done enough for them. The rest depended on their own destiny, and he couldn't control that much.
Liu Heng took a sip of water, moistened his throat, and said: "Your worries are not unreasonable. Let's do this. If you agree to go to Henan, you will first serve as deputy in Henan. You will have the opportunity to be in charge of the government in the future."
He felt it was a waste for someone as capable as Hong Chengchou to stay with him.
In the future, as more and more places are conquered by the Tiger Character Banner, the more capable people like Hong Chengchou will be needed to guard the areas for the Tiger Character Banner.
"My subordinate is willing to go to Henan." Hong Chengchou hurriedly agreed and agreed to go to Henan.
As for whether he was a deputy, he didn't care at all.
Taking this step is equivalent to entering the system of the Tiger Character Banner. He believes that with his own strength, he will have the opportunity to rule one party sooner or later. If the Tiger Character Banner takes over the world one day, he may not be able to enter the center of the imperial court one day.
Liu Heng said: "Then it's settled. You will pack up in the next two days and go to Henan with the governor of Henan. You will temporarily serve as chief envoy in Henan."
Chief envoy was no longer low for Hong Chengchou.
When he was in Shaanxi, he was just the chief envoy to consult, but now he has been treated badly.
Nowadays, the Tiger Flag will not only include Shaanxi and Shanxi, but also a Xuanfu. The starting point of the Henan Chief Envoy is not low.
Hong Chengchou also understood this, and the joy in his heart couldn't help but show on his face.
He used to think that he could only be a prefect in Huzi Banner, and he could even accept it as a county magistrate. It was an unexpected surprise for him to be able to reach such a high position as the chief envoy.
"Can I ask who will be the governor of Henan?" Hong Chengchou asked cautiously.
You must know that the Tiger Character Banner did not set up governors in Shanxi and Shaanxi, but only set up two chief envoys to handle matters in the two places.
The governor of Henan should be the first governor of Tiger Character Banner.
Liu Heng said: "The governor of Henan is appointed by Li Shuheng, deputy director of the Military and Political Department. He should be able to arrive in Datong in half a day. Then you two can meet and get familiar with each other."
"It turns out to be Deputy Director Li." Hong Chengchou suddenly realized.
Although he has never met Li Shuheng, he has heard of this person's name. He also knows that this person has been sitting in the Tumote Department and has a high position in the Tiger Banner. He is indeed a suitable candidate to be the governor of Henan.
And he wants more.
When the Tiger Banner went north to the grassland, this person was stationed at Dahei River and commanded the Tiger Banner army on the grassland. Now this person is about to go to Henan, still in the capacity of governor.
It is obvious that the Tiger Flag will have greater action in Henan.
After all, a position like the governor does not simply govern the local area, but also has certain military power. In the absence of a governor, the governor is qualified to participate in local military affairs.
Liu Heng said: "After you go to Henan, Mr. Hong, you must cooperate more with Deputy Director Li, and at the same time, do not relax the local governance of Henan. In the future, Henan will no longer have vassal kings sucking the blood of the people of Henan. I hope that Henan can Become one of the granaries of the Tiger Flag and prepare reserves for the Tiger Flag to compete for the world."
"Don't worry, my lord, I think I'm quite capable in governing the place, and I've been studying here in Huzi Banner for such a long time. I believe I will be able to assist Governor Li in governing Henan."
