Chapter 846

Emperor Chongzhen was a naive man, but Xu Jianqiang was a pragmatic man.

If in the past, he might have been a little naive. If not, he would not want to get fame, stand out and honor his family.

But after a series of great changes in his life, he began to become mature, stable and very pragmatic.

When he really reached the point where he was not confused at 40 and knew his destiny at 50, he knew that tracing this matter would not help Daming at present.

Even if you know that Liu's father and son did it, the other party will say that you did it. If the other party doesn't recognize it, can you hit him in the mouth and hit him on the board? It was because of this that he did not investigate the matter. Even though he knew it was Liu's father and son, he did not punish him.

On the contrary, Xu Jianqiang is very keen on eradicating the spies deployed by the Liu family in the capital. He knows that if these spies are not eradicated, their every move will be under the surveillance of the other party. They can't do some secret things if they want to.

Although Xu Jianqiang also sent many spies and spies to Nanjing according to the Liu family's methods, these people either never returned or were killed by the Liu family, and rarely played a role.

Xu Jianqiang sent a hundred spies to the south, and only one or two of them could send back the news. This made sending them to the South on business the most dangerous thing. No one was willing to do it. It is said that many people did such a job, but they didn't dare to refuse, because they knew that they disobeyed the military order, and King Xu would publicly kill you.

But they know that even if you go through all kinds of hardships and arrive in the South and want to find out the news of the Liu family, it is also a near death activity. Since you are dead, why do you do this? Just take off your official robe, throw away the embroidered spring knife, and then find a place to hide.

This makes Xu Jianqiang a little frustrated. It's really not easy to deal with the Liu family. They are all talents of heroes. Of course, his efforts are not in vain. They sent so many spies, but some people played a role. They kept sending back some information, so that he also had a certain understanding of the south.

But the more you know each other, the more he feels afraid.

I feel that the Liu family's father and son are the heroes of the world, that is, on the day of their first rise, the rising trend is unstoppable.

However, Xu Jianqiang is a person who does not believe in evil. The more irresistible he is, the more he wants to block it. The mantis arm is the cart and Jing Ke goes West without turning back.

After Xu Jianqiang returned to the capital, he began to study his "luozhijing", that is, how to incriminate these rich officials and squires, and then copy their money to replenish military supplies.

When Xu Jianqiang sat above this position, he also found a problem that the imperial court was actually begging with a golden rice bowl.

The place where they are located is actually on a cornucopia. There are some rich and some rich people here. However, they dare not do it because they have a backstage behind them and the interests of both parties are inextricably linked.

However, Xu Jianqiang has no worries in this regard. He slaughters the pig when he sees it fat. He also believes that as long as the current emperor is still there, his fame and wealth will still be there. The current emperor is gone, and it is estimated that Daming is also gone. He will be cut by thousands of knives.

Who has achieved great things since ancient times? Those who destroy them want to use the ink of the world to discredit them. Those who praise them hate that they can't become gods. Right and wrong are left for future generations to comment on.

In the Ming Dynasty, Xu helped the building to the people who would dump it. The Ming Dynasty became a thing of the past, dumping the water of the three rivers and not clearing its dirt.

But what's the problem? Isn't this what loyal officials of all dynasties have done? He, Xu Jianqiang, used to be a housekeeper. They all thought of the world and wanted to do something. Now that they have become officials, they should realize their dreams.

Xu Jianqiang tried to make money while he was responsible for teaching several princes.

Let him teach several princes, which is great trust. Such trust completely exceeded his expectation. That is, at this moment, he really realized that the emperor and queen had sincere trust in him.

Bi is the gift of the land.

Xu Jianqiang is not good enough to be a teacher in his essays and martial arts. However, since the emperor entrusted him with an important task, he did not refuse. He decided to give his life skills to these children. Whether they can understand it or not is not what he can take care of.

Although Xu Jianqiang is despicable, he also has advantages. If he doesn't have advantages, how can he be the big housekeeper of the Liu family? After several ups and downs, he can still mix up like today?

Xu Jianqiang said that since the queen appointed him as the crown prince and Fu, he knew that the queen certainly didn't let him teach children to read and learn etiquette. If you need to teach children to read, any Bachelor of calligraphy can beat him ten times.

So he has his own plan. This is to use half a day to teach the princes martial arts. Practicing martial arts can strengthen his body and protect himself.

Some people refer to martial arts as a cheap industry? Emperor Taizu, Emperor Chengzu, Emperor Taizong and Emperor Xuanzong, aren't they good at martial arts and go to battle in person?

In the afternoon, he spent half a day listening to him tell stories. The way he taught was to tell stories. By telling stories, he said everything he knew and his experience, and then analyzed and commented to see if the prince could absorb it. Although this method is simple, it is really useful.

At least several princes listened to his story with interest, asked questions and expressed their opinions. If they were in trouble in the future, would they use this knowledge as their experience? It's hard to say. As a Taifu, he can only teach as much as possible.

Looking at these children carved with powder and jade, Xu Jianqiang had a sense of responsibility and protection in his heart. He secretly vowed: "go all out to teach these princes and protect their integrity."

However, Xu Jianqiang now knows what is the most urgent thing. The most urgent thing at present is to get a follow-up money and food for Yang Sichang and Hong Chengchou's army. This money and food is the money for them to launch an attack after the warm spring.

They also believe that as long as they have this money and attack Shandong, the subsequent problems will be solved.

Shandong is the essence of Daming, and the lair of Liu's family is numerous. It basically supports Liu thieves. They can identify these people as a thief and copy their property to fill the army's needs. At that time, the army also had them.

This is also a way for the imperial court to encourage the morale of soldiers. They promised the soldiers that Shandong has been occupied and there are no loyal officials of the imperial court. They can rob freely when they attack Shandong.

With these propaganda, both Hong Chengchou and Yang Sichang's army maintained their morale. The soldiers sharpened their knives and were ready to wait for war. Later, they attacked Shandong and robbed a lot. When they had money, they slipped home to enjoy these things.

This is one reason why the imperial court is in such a dilemma, but several of its heavy military groups can still maintain order.

Although several commanders know that it is actually unkind to do so, since ancient times, which army has been famous for its morale by looting? It's impossible to be famous for thousands of years, but it's stable to remain infamous for thousands of years.

But what can I do? They are now so difficult that as long as they can wipe out Liu thieves, they don't care what method it is.

Yang Sichang and Hong Chengchou were deeply favored by the emperor. The Ming Dynasty gave them all the honors. There was no other way but to repay them with death.

But the current world is really bad. The situation is very unfavorable to both the Ming Dynasty and the Ming army.

In the past, when they led troops to fight, they could overwhelm each other in momentum, because they were officers and troops, and the other was anti thief. The officers and troops would always defeat the anti thief.

But now it's different. They face an enemy they've never seen before. The other party has successfully washed away the thief's name and become an official and government.

They also have their cities, their food bases and the support of the people. Even they have more things than Daming. At least in the competition with the Chinese army, they are better than Daming army in terms of weapons and equipment.

It is generally accepted that the equipment of the army means combat effectiveness. When it comes to equipment and welfare system, the Ming army doesn't have to fight the Chinese army. They are hanged and beaten by the other party.

This is also the conclusion drawn by two marshals Hong Chengchou and Yang Sichang after many communications. They are worried about this. Being a soldier in the Ming Dynasty is too poor to barely support themselves and want to support their family. However, being a soldier in the Chinese empire can support a family and live a very moist life.

They can imagine that once the two armies fight, the other side will make every effort to recruit and surrender these soldiers. These soldiers will surrender to the other side just for the money, food and treatment of the other side. How should the war be fought later?

Yang Sichang and Hong Chengchou are not Zhu Xieyuan. They dare not implement such cruel policies as Zhu Xieyuan.

Zhu Xieyuan saw such a problem, so he slaughtered the Chinese army under Yiling City, so that both sides had no way back. He also forced his subordinates to fight the Chinese army to death.

This is a Yang scheme, very cruel, but Hong Chengchou and Yang Sichang dare not use it.

First of all, they will not support the killing of prisoners. Deep in their hearts, they are now working for the Ming Dynasty, which is also their duty as ministers. If they want to do such a thing that will last forever, it is not worth it. Moreover, the gratitude and resentment between them and the Chinese army is national hatred, not personal resentment.

Although Zhu Xieyuan's style was very gratifying and inspired many people, even the emperor recognized and appreciated it, but their consequences were very tragic.

During the second Yiling battle of the Chinese army, they defeated the Ming army and captured the prisoners of the Ming army alive. All the officers and soldiers of the Ming army who participated in the killing of prisoners in Yiling did not accept surrender and were all executed.

They accept prisoners, but if the other party participates in killing prisoners, they will be ruthlessly executed.

For example, the famous general Zhang Youwei, who was known for a while, was publicly dismembered by the Chinese army.
