629 Western Prairie
Fortunately, I had the foresight before and had prevented this situation. The presidents of the branches of the 13 provinces of the two capitals and thirteen provinces have a clear intention to reject all acts that want to seek money based on the power of the government.
However, it is also because of this that the governors, governors and other officials from the border wrote memorials, saying that they were short of money. Since there was money in the Ming Dynasty Construction Bank, the emperor asked the emperor to temporarily embezzle the money. As for when to repay and what mortgage to use, they basically didn't write them. The meaning is nothing more than the governor. The governor's seal is OK, right? This situation is the same as the incident that happened in the capital before, which was Bi Ziyan and others who wanted to embezzle bank funds!
Among these memorials, the memorials of others can be temporarily ignored. The memorials of Southwest Governor Zhu Xieyuan cannot be ignored. After all, he is still suppressing the rebellion and holding heavy troops. If he really has no money or military pay, the consequences may be very serious.
When receiving Zhu Xieyuan's memorial, Emperor Chongzhen had already learned about the relevant situation. In the southwest, from the end of the Wanli period, there have been wars for many years. After being transferred to Zhu Xieyuan to lead the army to quell the rebellion, he gradually controlled the situation and stabilized the situation in the southwest.
During the Tianqi Dynasty, Zhu Xieyuan asked the court for money many times. However, the Ming Dynasty was poor and basically didn't need much money. Even if the money he agreed to in the end, for example, in the third year of Tianqi, the one who promised to pay 300,000 military salaries in Zhu Xieyuan was actually only 300,000 taels.
Therefore, Zhu Xieyuan wrote a letter to require additional taxes in the prefectures and counties under his jurisdiction, and suggested that different levels of collection could be imposed according to the degree of damage caused by each county. However, Emperor Tianqi did not agree to this practice at that time.
So Zhu Xieyuan proposed another solution, which was to allow him to cast copper coins. The court immediately agreed to this point, and therefore, Zhu Xieyuan had a silver and money basis to suppress the rebellion. But of course this was not enough, and Zhu Xieyuan had to save money. After he controlled the situation and took the initiative, he began to cut off redundant troops to save expenses.
Obviously, Zhu Xieyuan should have thought of asking for money now when he saw that there was a new source of money.
When Emperor Chongzhen recalled this, he understood Zhu Xieyuan's difficulties. He wanted to quell the rebellion, but the court did not give money, which felt like he wanted both horses to run away and horses not to eat grass. But the court really had no money, and the court's focus was Liaodong, so he really had no money to give it to him.
Although I have some money now, it is all used as the principal of the bank, the source of the treasure pot, and it must not be misappropriated. How much money does Zhu Xieyuan need, whether he has greedy for money from it, and what extent the situation in the southwest is, these are all unsure. Although I have sent someone to find out the specific details, the order has not been returned yet, and it is not easy to deal with.
One thing I am more worried about is whether the chaos in the southwest will affect their feudal vassal policy overseas? Min Hongxue and Tang Wang have both passed, so it should be coming soon. The situation over there cannot affect their plot against me!
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly felt that there were too few people in his chat group and he should add more, so that he should add to the members in the southwest, have reliable eyeliners, or be much faster than sending people from the capital to understand.
However, the most critical battle in Liaodong is about to break out, and the achievement value is all there, so I'd better wait first, at least wait until North Korea's food war has a result. After all, adding people is random, and it may not necessarily be added to the person you want to add.
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen made a decision to wait in the southwest. As for the Hetao Plain, as long as it can hold Jianlu in Liaodong, I believe that with the ability of Hong Chengchou and others, it should be fine if it only deals with the Mongolian tribes in the west.
But he didn't know that Bu Shitu in the west was about to come, and his desire for the Hetao area had already made him feel excited and sent an envoy to contact other tribes.
The main force of the Mongolian grasslands during this period was Weilat Mongolia, which was nomadic in the vast grassland north of the Tianshan Mountains, called the western Mongolia; together with the Khalkha Mongolia (Exterior Mongolia) in the central region and the Chahar Mongolia (Inner Mongolia) in the eastern region, it was called the three major parts of Mongolia.
Of course, at this time, Chahar Mongolia in the eastern part had been annexed by the Ming Dynasty, and only two of the three Mongolian parts were left.
Among them, the Weitu Mongolia is divided into four divisions, namely the Junggar tribe, the Dulbert tribe, the Hoshuot tribe and the Turgut tribe. From a legal perspective, the other three divisions of Weitu have obeyed the Junggar tribe, and its leader Baturhun became the leaders of various Western Mongolia tribes.
However, this is just a superficial situation. There are often conflicts between these four tribes in order to compete for ranches and livestock, and sometimes it is very serious. Among them, the Junggar tribe is the most powerful, followed by the Hoshuo Special tribe.
However, due to religious beliefs, wars often occurred in the Weilat Mongolia in the west and the Khalkha Mongol in the central region. If, according to the original history, the Khalkha people's Chaoketu even had the plan to unite with Lin Dankhan for religious reasons, but this plan was ruined because Lin Dankhan died of illness in Qinghai.
In this plane, it is naturally impossible to appear due to the butterfly effect, after all, Lin Danhan is dead.
On this day, on the grassland far away from Baotou, a cavalry of about 500 people slowly advancing westward. From the flag fluttering in the wind, it can be seen that this was the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty. The person in charge was the word "god" from the flag.
"Brother, according to the order of Lord Zhongcheng, we should patrol back to the small lake in front." Shen Yikui reminded Shen Yiyuan who was a little ahead of him.
Shen Yiyuan naturally knew this, but he frowned and thought back and said, "The messenger sent by Lord Zhongcheng to the west is coming soon. We will walk forward, maybe we can receive it!"
When Shen Yikui heard this, he understood in his heart that his elder brother wanted to make contributions. After all, he used to be on par with Gao Yingxiang. Who knew that now, he was inferior to Li Zicheng and Li Guo, and even became Li Zicheng's subordinates. There must be a gap in his heart, so he wanted to upgrade his functions as soon as possible.
The three of them are guerrillas, and their brothers are the general manager. As long as they are promoted to two levels, they can still be on the same level. The difference is not too much.
Thinking of this, Shen Yikui shook his head and rejected: "Brother, I understand your thoughts, but Lord Zhongcheng is also a new member. He doesn't have much favoritism for us thieves, otherwise we would not have sent us to inspect. Since Lord Zhongcheng ordered us to go back in front, then go back in front and don't make any troubles!"
