"Fake surrender?"
Yuan Keli sneered: "Unless you are a famous general, worthy of being recruited by the other party, and valuable to use, don't even think about pretending to surrender.
Usually those who surrender will be sent to mining, hard labor, etc., under heavy guard, without enough food and clothing.
After years of hard work, you can still sneak back? Do you think you are a famous general? "
Wu Jinshi who spoke out smiled.
Chongzhen still agrees with this point.
For example, Zhang Xianzhong surrendered three times and rebelled three times. If he had been killed when he surrendered for the first time, the Ming Dynasty could have continued for many years.
Another example is Hong Chengchou, Zu Dashou, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi, Wu Sangui, Jiang Xiang and so on.
"Hei Aiqing, generally speaking, the performance of the sergeant in Datong Town is really poor.
If Tumote and others on the opposite side attack, it will probably be difficult to defend. We must hurry up on reorganizing our troops! "
After Chongzhen finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Yuji who was standing aside: "Zhou Aiqing, you will leave two of Tengxiang's right guards in Datong Town where Qianhu is located, and they will be responsible for training the sergeants of Datong Town.
By the way, keep your training methods and wait until Marquis Zhongzhen arrives before returning to Beijing! "
"I understand!"
Zhou Yuji heard Chongzhen saying the word "drill" very seriously, and he laughed ferociously in his heart: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will explain it to you soon, and I will definitely teach it with all my strength!"
Hei Yunlong and Hou Gongji also laughed a little while listening to the conversation, and they laughed very happily.
The military exercise just now has confirmed the strength of Tengxiang Right Guards. In addition to being the Forbidden Army themselves and having high recruitment requirements, training is more important.
It is estimated that among the four Tengxiang guards, Tengxiang's right guard has the strongest combat power.
The emperor's northwest inspection followed, from Beijing to Xuanfu and then straight to Xi'an along Datong and Taiyuan.
Then it detoured to Yansui, Pianguan and then to Datong, a journey of six to seven thousand miles.
The test is definitely not about marching, but more about orders and prohibitions, coordination and cooperation, handling of emergencies, etc.
This is definitely something that 90% of the Ming Dynasty's army has not experienced and lacks, and their Datong Town is no exception.
If before the northwest patrol, even if Teng Xiang Youwei could win this martial arts exercise, it would never be so easy.
It was precisely during this northwest patrol, six or seven thousand miles away, that I integrated all the things I had trained on in daily life, so that I could have the combat power that I have today.
Having such elites help them train the self-righteous border troops and suppress their arrogance is definitely what the two of them want to see.
Hei Yunlong looked at Cao Bianjiao again, his eyes full of thoughts. Tengxiang right guard is so awesome, how powerful should the warrior camp be?
But this kind of elite is to protect the safety of the emperor. Even if he has ideas, he will not speak.
After giving some instructions to Hei Yunlong and Hou Gongji, they were allowed to leave, and Zhou Yuji also followed.
Only Yuan Keli, Han Huang and Cao Bianjiao were left in the lobby.
"Han Aiqing, you continue to stay in Datong City."
Chongzhen picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "The first is to count the property of the Jin Dynasty and the replacement of Shanxi officials.
The second is to wait for Marquis Zhongzhen to come over. During this period, you will have full control over Datong City.
By the way, I would like to urge the Shanxi Salt Road to increase the amount of salt by 20% this year. "
"Salt path?"
Han Huang was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed. Is the emperor going to take action against the salt merchant?
The problem of salt merchants is more serious than that of the eight major locust merchants.
Although there is no collaboration with the enemy or treason, salt is the first of all tastes and is necessary for the human body. Salt merchants control the circulation of salt across the country, which is the lifeblood of the people.
The imperial court canceled the salt imports from salt merchants in order to coerce the salt merchants into surrender?
But this is extremely stupid and even impossible to do.
You must know that the Ming Dynasty now implements the salt system and the Kaizhong system. The grain needed by the Nine Borders and the circulation of materials between the north and the south of the Ming Dynasty are all handled by salt merchants.
If the salt import is cancelled, the salt merchants will most likely quit. What will happen if there is a shortage of food and a lack of material circulation in the nine borders?
How much supplies can be transported by the imperial court alone?
Therefore, it is okay to cancel the salt supply of certain salt merchants and distribute it to other salt merchants. They will be very happy, but the idea of canceling all salt merchants can only be considered.
To rashly attack a salt merchant without being prepared is to kill one enemy... eight hundred and lose one thousand to oneself.
Seeing Han Huang's solemn look, Chongzhen nodded towards Yuan Keli, who told him the information sent by the Yangzhou Jinyi Guards.
Han Huang's expression changed again, and he thought to himself that the salt merchant was really desperate for provoking the new emperor in this way.
The emperor seems to have given in this time, but in fact these people have already been included in the emperor's small book. The day of reckoning will definitely be thunderous.
Regarding water transportation, Chongzhen only targeted officials, such as water transportation yamen, salt transport envoys, etc., and did not directly take action against salt merchants and merchants.
It depends on how the two parties bite each other. This is also a test of the Jiangnan gentry and wealthy businessmen.
The water in the south of the Yangtze River is not the water in the northwest. It is deep, wide and turbid over there.
The Donglin Party, the Chu Party, the Zhejiang Party, the Xuan Party, the Kun Party and other parties are intertwined, and they fight internally and externally.
Half of the world's money, grain, and taxes come from Jiangnan. If Jiangnan is in chaos, it will be difficult for the entire Ming Dynasty.
"I understand, I will immediately send someone to inspect the salt pond in Hedong!"
Han Huang felt awe-struck and immediately saluted in response.
After several people chatted for a while, Han Huang and Cao Bianjiao left one after another.
Cao Bianjiao went to arrange things for Luan Jia, while Han Huang left the Jin family compound and went straight to the Prince Dai's Mansion in the northeast corner of Datong City.
At this moment, in the Chengyun Hall of the Daiwang Mansion, cries and questions could be heard from time to time.
The acting king Zhu Dingwei sat on the throne without sadness or joy, looking at the people who were crying and questioning.
"Weier, you, you, how could you be so confused and make such a ridiculous decision?"
"The emperor summoned you and did not directly convict you. That means there is insufficient evidence. Only one witness can't explain anything!"
"Your Highness, when you made this decision, did you ever think about what would happen to the hundreds of people in the mansion? Will you go to Fengyang with you to drink the northwest wind?"
"Father, tell me, this is not true? Are you just joking with us?"
"Father, you..."
"Wei'er, why did I do that back then? Wasn't it just for you?
You have been the crown prince for ten years, and you only took the title in February last year. You have only been the acting king for more than a year, and you just give up? So what are these ten years? "
"You came with me to the camp to find His Majesty. Just say that you were frightened just now and made a decision in a nonsensical manner. It doesn't count!"
…
Pei, the acting queen mother, looked a little crazy and was preparing to come to the throne to win over the acting king Zhu Dingwei.
"have you had enough?"
Zhu Dingwei, who had been silent all this time, said something lightly. Although the words were soft, everyone in the hall shut their mouths instantly.
