What? Learn from Zhu Chunchen?

Do you want to follow his example and go to the city to kill thieves and then return home to donate the money?

What is there to learn from this? What are the benefits of learning this?

A group of distinguished royal relatives were speechless.

They are all masters who have no strength to kill thieves and are really reluctant to donate money. If they were really willing, they should have bought the edict to leave the city this morning. They have already arrived in Tongzhou now, so what are they doing in Beijing?

Besides, even if they thought about it and were willing to pay for the edict, it is too late now. There are already rogue cavalry in the east of Beijing. Although Li Zicheng adopted the tactic of surrounding three buildings, it does not mean that

The east side of the city was completely allowed to enter and exit at will, but a large number of small teams of cavalry were sent.

If a large group of people protrudes from Beijing, these small groups of cavalry will not be able to stop them. However, the few servants of the royal family are not brave enough for them to deal with. If they go out, they will die.

Therefore, Zhu Cihong's edict to leave the city can no longer be sold.

Seeing that the nobles and royal relatives had no reaction, Zhu Cixiang just looked at Zhu Chunchen with a smile - it's time for you, a role model among the nobles, to show off!

Zhu Chunchen immediately understood and bowed to Zhu Cihong, saying: "Master Qiansui is really too generous. How dare I set an example for you? I donated these 250,000 taels of silver for the sake of my own family!"

Yeah?

The royal relatives don’t believe it! Two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver! Do you think the money takes up space?

Zhu Cixi just looked at these stupid nobles coldly. Unlike the history of Beijing where civil servants mostly served as ministers, most of these nobles died for the country after the fall of Beijing. There was a shortage of civil servants on Li Zicheng's side.

A group of bandits cannot govern the country. Therefore, most civil servants are given preferential treatment, and only a few high-ranking officials are tortured and paid.

But there is definitely no shortage of honors on Li Zicheng’s side!

At this time, Zhu Chunchen said again: "Don't think that I, Zhu Chunchen, am talking nonsense... I am telling the truth, because my family, Zhu Chunchen, has more than 250,000 taels of silver! My family has more than 400,000 taels of silver. Now I will donate

Out of 250,000 taels, there are still 160,000 taels left.

One hundred and sixty thousand taels of silver is not much to keep at home, but why don’t you try to drive it away in a big cart? One hundred and sixty thousand taels of silver is one catty, so one hundred and sixty thousand taels is ten thousand catties... plus the box containing the silver, that’s ten thousand

It's more than two thousand kilograms. One horse can pull three hundred kilograms of goods, and it will take at least dozens of horses to pull twelve thousand kilograms!

In addition to money, I also have a family and some clothing. When I go on a long journey, I have to bring food and horse supplies. All of these require horses and carts to transport them. So my horse cart can only carry 160,000 taels.

No matter how much money you have, it really won’t be lucky! If it’s not lucky, why don’t you give it to the thieves? Why don’t you give it to the thieves? It’s better to donate it to Lord Chitose for payment. Let Lord Chitose recruit more soldiers, so that you can keep your money.

I will go to Jiangnan together with all the honorable ministers!"

Zhu Chunchen suddenly raised his voice and shouted loudly: "We are all honorable ministers! We are different from civil servants, eunuchs and military attachés who lead troops outside.

We live together with our country... Most of your ancestors and those of Zhu are from the Long Dynasty when they were Emperor Taizu and Gao, and a few of them were later heroes and royal relatives of several dynasties. But none of them have ancestors from the Yuan Dynasty.

Hero!

By the same token, in Chuangni, there is no such thing as the splendor and wealth of Ming Dynasty ministers like us! Chuangni has fought hundreds of battles to get to where we are today. Will Li Thief, who has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, be short of ministers? So we are waiting for him.

I can only follow him to the death and protect His Majesty, Master Qiansui, and go to Jiangnan together.

As long as we can go to the south of the Yangtze River, even if we only have half of the country, we are still honored!"

After saying this, the courtyard became deathly quiet.

Zhu Chunchen said what everyone is most worried about! They are not even qualified to surrender and rebel!

Because Li Zicheng didn't need their high-ranking ministers, and Li Zicheng himself had a lot of ministers to settle, so why did he need the ministers of the Ming Dynasty? The Ming Dynasty didn't even support the ministers of the Yuan Dynasty!

It would be benevolent to confiscate all the property and keep someone alive - Historically, Li Zicheng's torture and salary recovery policy after entering Beijing was quite criticized, but what needs to be criticized is the torture of civil servants, not the torture of nobles and eunuchs.

Because these two types of people are not needed by the new dynasty. If we don’t fight their rich people, whose rich people will we fight?

In the courtyard, the atmosphere was gloomy, with only the flickering light from torches and lanterns making the air even more tense.

I don’t know how long it took for someone to react and ask loudly: "Master Qiantose, are you really going to give up the capital and move south?"

"Really moving the capital?"

"The city of Beijing was won by our ancestors through hundreds of battles. Do we really want to give up?"

"All the cabinet ministers agree?"

The nobles and nobles started talking about it. The matter of moving the capital to Nanxing might not be so easy to finalize, right?

Zhu Cixiang said: "On the 6th of this month, the Holy One gave an order to abandon Ningyuan and mobilize Guan Ning's army to defend the capital. In this way, there are only less than 10,000 people left in Shanhaiguan General Soldier Gaodi's headquarters east of the capital. How can we stop the Manchu Chou attack?

Soldiers? As for Xuanfu, Juyong and the Great Wall entrances to the north of the capital, there are currently no soldiers from the imperial court. Even if the imperial court can rely on the hard fighting of the Guanning border troops to repel the bandits, it is unable to guard Shanhaiguan and along the Great Wall.

It is impossible to regain the lost territory in Xuan Dashan, Shaanxi and Henan.

In this way, the capital is just an isolated city. The only purpose of the imperial court staying here is to isolate the bandits and the captives and prevent them from fighting with each other. But for the court, it is more beneficial for the traitors and the captives to fight against each other! So stick to it.

The capital is already seeking death, and abandoning the defense is inevitable! If you want to say that our ancestors’ inheritance cannot be abandoned, there is no need to speak up!”

"Master Chitose is right!" Zhu Chunchen shouted loudly at this time, "As soon as Guan Ning's army moves, there will be no barrier to the east of the capital. It will only take three or two months for the prisoners to break through. But if Guan Ning's army does not move, the flow will be

The thieves will break the capital again... so the only way to survive is to let Guan Ning's army escort the imperial court to move south.

And if we want to mobilize Guan Ning's army to escort him, can we do it without money? If we want Beijing to hold on until Guan Ning's army arrives, can we do it without money? If we nobles like you want to go to Jiangnan to continue to be prosperous and wealthy, we can only spend money.

Take it out! Not only should you donate the money, but you should also let all the servants, servants and children who can fight in each family join the army! Only in this way can you survive in death! As long as you can continue to be a nobleman in Jiangnan, you are not afraid

No money?"

The logic is good, and the nobles nodded their heads one after another.

"What Duke Cheng Guo said is absolutely true!" Someone finally stood up and echoed, and the person who stood up was Li Guozhen... I don't know if he was being asked to do so?

Li Guozhen said loudly: "Master Qiansui, I am willing to donate one hundred thousand taels of silver and provide one hundred able servants and children to join the army!"

In fact, the strength of his family was taken away by Wu Sanfu long ago, and now it is just empty talk.

"Okay!" Zhu Cixiang said loudly, "Uncle Xiangcheng is also a pillar of the country, a role model for nobles, and a hero in overcoming difficulties!"

"Thousand-year-old Lord, I am willing to donate 50,000 taels to Xinlehou Liu Wenbing and bring fifty of my family members to join the army!"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, I am willing to donate 30,000 taels and bring 20 of my family members to join the army!"

"Your Highness, your minister Zhangwu Bo Yang Chongyou is willing to contribute 20,000 taels and bring 20 of his servants to join the army!"

"I would like to give 20,000 taels to Zhang Qingzhen, Uncle An, and bring fifteen of my family members to join the army!"

…

Just when some nobles were learning from Zhu Chunchen and everyone was striving to be a good nobleman of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjian, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, summoned Gao Yushun and Luo Yangxing in the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace.

Gao Yushun witnessed the Battle of Fuchengmen commanded by Zhu Cihong in the afternoon! And Luo Yangxing inquired about the murder of the crown prince! Du Xun was not killed by Zhu Chunchen, but by Zhu Cihong, who was only sixteen years old! He killed it with his own hands!

In addition, Chongzhen also learned that Zhu Cixiang was making money by selling edicts to leave the city.

Emperor Chongzhen was also cold-blooded. His son was so ruthless and treacherous that he could kill people with his own hands at the age of 16. He also scared Zhu Chunchen, the commander-in-chief of the Beijing camp, to tears, and deceived him from a group of nobles and officials who were afraid of death. Millions of taels of silver...

"It's so treacherous and cruel..." Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but muttered after hearing the report, "You are so treacherous and cruel when you are only sixteen years old. How can you be so treacherous and cruel when you grow up?"

Luo Yangxing and Gao Yushun looked at each other, and then nodded at the same time!

This is incredible!

So treacherous, so cruel... When he becomes emperor, the bandits and luchou will be dead!

However, if the civil and military officials and the royal family are in his hands, life will definitely not be easy.
