Chapter 1525
Emperor Chongzhen is a very complicated person. Say that he is weak. He didn't have any mercy to kill people. He has been in power for more than ten years. It is the most in history, and many won't die properly.
Say he is strong, but when facing gentry merchants and frontier generals, he can't make up his mind to be tough, and often ends in compromise.
The first auxiliary exchange is fast, but the exchange is still inseparable from the category of moths that gnaw at the foundation of this dynasty. No matter how you hate the frontier generals, you have to pinch your nose to reduce food, clothing, and food. .
Emperor Chongzhen was a diligent emperor, but not a hero. Born in the deep palace, grown in the hands of women, and fooled by the gentry and civil servants, he did not have enough means to suppress everything. The dynasty is riddled with holes, and there is no room for him to display it. Up and down, he was against him, and he was also against the civil and military officials up and down. It's useless to do it, and I can only watch the decline of this country and the gradual Western Mountain.
Emperor Chongzhen thought about moving the capital. The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the emperor dies, but at certain critical moments, it may not be impossible to bypass. As long as we can keep our ancestors' foundation and our country, if possible, Emperor Chongzhen would not fail to do so.
When Li Chuang ravaged Henan and blocked the north and south, Emperor Chongzhen discovered the crisis. At that time, he had implicitly proposed the idea of moving the capital to Nanjing. But he was stunned back by the officials. The excuse was that the emperor defended the country? The king died.
And he has raised it more than once. On the eve of Ying Yi's Northern Expedition's two armies approaching Gyeonggi, Emperor Chongzhen also hinted at the minister's idea of moving the capital. But it was ignored by the ministers.
The second minister of the cabinet, Wu Rong, also used the face covered in blood of Chongzhen in the court. The only way is that the law of the ancestors is immutable. The emperor will die and the emperor must guard the country.
At this time, the Beijing camp was defeated, and Tang Tong of King Qin was defeated. The rebels set up camp outside the city gate of Beijing, but the cabinet ministers came and asked him to move the capital.
How ridiculous is this?
Press him hard when you have a chance, now there is no chance!
Moving the capital? How to move?
The three thousand rebels outside the city gate can't be solved, how to move? Isn't this a lamb in a tiger's den?
Emperor Chongzhen has no expression on his face.
The emperor guards the gate of the country, the emperor dies in the land, and when the country is ruined, I always want to keep the last bit of dignity, right?
"Your Majesty...The main force of the rebels must go east for Guanning's defenders. When the main force solves the Guanning army, it will be too late!" Zhou Yanru's thoughts turned and he shouted. "While the Guanning Liaodong Army is still able to contain the rebels, we will start driving south as quickly as possible, and the king will be heaven!" The rebel and the Donglu are badly bruised!"
Emperor Chongzhen sneered again and again: "It would be better to teach the rebel and the Donglu both sides to suffer. Shouldn't I stay in the capital and wait for the fisherman? profits?"
Wu Yan startedled, suddenly speechless.
Zhou Yanru earnest and well-meant advised: "Your Majesty, Gyeonggi has been plundered by the Eastern captives repeatedly, and the people’s livelihood has been declining. The rebels and the Eastern army both sides suffer, and it doesn't help."
Emperor Chongzhen sneered even more--you all understand that when I wanted to move the capital, why did the officials oppose it? !
He with a flick of sleeve, stood up and said: "My will is determined, no need to say more. The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the emperor died in the village. If I die, I will die in the capital too!"
finished speaking, turn around and leave, leaving all the officials looking at each other in blank dismay.
Zhou Yanru, Wu Wei, etc. had no choice but to retreat and leave the Palace of the Qing Dynasty, all lamenting again and again.
When it comes to moving the capital, when Emperor Chongzhen implicitly proposed it, they had not never thought about it. These people can sit in the position they are now. Maybe they don't have any powerful means to deal with the country's major affairs, but they are clever, surpassing most people.
But relocation involves a very serious issue, and that is power.
Moving the capital must be accompanied by the transfer of power. In Yingtianfu Nanjing, there is also a set of national and dynasty teams, all of which are full of books, ministers, and so on. If you move the capital south and arrive in Nanjing, there will be two teams. when the time comes how to distribute power?
In the north, they are local tyrants. After arriving in Nanjing, Nanjing Sixth Department is a local tyrant. And they moved their capital due to the declining situation, and they couldn't even count as Jianglong. After arriving in Nanjing, it must be suppressed by the local tyrants of Nanjing Sixth Department. Not to mention the reduction of power, or even the loss of life.
If it were not for the poor, how could they agree with the strategy of moving the capital?
Individual desires and interests have overridden the national security, the destruction of the Great Ming Dynasty, this Manchu civil and military, each one, all deserve to die.
The higher the position, the greater the responsibility. After receiving the benefits of the system, one has to pay for the system. As for them, it is the profit of desperation. As for what will happen to this system, maybe they think they will retreat sooner or later anyway, that is the business of latecomers.
True outstanding people, while enjoying power, they also have to shoulder the responsibilities equal to power. On this basis, to realize the needs of the country and the people, and promote the high-spirited development of history, there is no shortage of such characters in all dynasties. Unfortunately, often they will not exist in a completely corrupt system.
The end of the dynasty has rotted to its roots. Those who stay in are almost all bad guys. Even if it is not a bad person, there is no room for display in the quagmire.
The more you lose, the more you fight for power. The last madness, the last supper.
This is the truest portrayal of military commanders in the capital.
"Your Majesty does not want to move the capital, how can you do it?"
Zhou Yanru sighed: "Is there any thoughts in the second assistant?"
Wu Yan wrinkled The old face said: "The rebel is outside the city, I think Your Majesty has some scruples..."
Zhou Yanru said: "The scruples are inevitable. Who would have expected the battle strength of the rebels to be tyrannical." Such? Trifling three thousand soldiers and horses, the Beijing camp was defeated, Tang Tong died in battle, and seven to eighty thousand troops were killed all over the ground, hey..."
To talk about worries, these two also have . After all, if the capital is broken and Great Ming is dead, as the cabinet ministers of Great Ming, where can they be negotiated?
Don't talk about power, whether you can save your life, it's all about two things.
The point is that the rebels are more than 3,000 soldiers, but tens of thousands! If there is such a battle strength...
Although the main force of the rebels goes east, God knows what the result will be? If you can't turn back tomorrow, there is no room for a turn.
The two were silent, and the ministers next to each other were silent.
For a long time, someone said: "The strong front of the rebels is really rare. If you want to attack the city, this...may not be unbreakable. Why do you press it outside the city?"
Wu Lu pondered then said: "Or waiting for news from the east."
Zhou Yanru said: "Or do you want a complete capitalist?"
Simultaneously startled, I can't help but feel enlightened.
Zhou Yanru said again: "If you are a thief, what would you think of the Jingshi?"
"This person...I am afraid that he is also a hero. If you want the Jingshi, I must come personally to fetch it...The majestic majesty enters the city, it is also powerful and powerful." Wu Yan sighed.
"A complete, orderly Jingshi is more valuable than a chaotic and dilapidated Jingshi."
Zhou Yanru looked thoughtful.
The officials all showed a sense of sorrow, yes, get a complete capital, and even if you can capture the emperor, capture all the clan and ministers, for a'rebel', that would be the most perfect ending.
For a time, the hearts of the people floated.
