400 Weed and Root
In the capital, the imperial palace, and the imperial study.
Zhu Qizhe frowned and looked at the dense list in front of him, and a trace of coldness emerged from his heart.
These are all famous squires in the local area. Originally, he was really planning to appoint these people to manage the local area. If he really did this, the trouble would be great.
Even if he cut off Feng Quan, Xie Sheng and others, these people would slowly climb to the high position through their cliques. I don’t know how many Feng Quan and Xie Sheng will be produced by then.
This is the power of the clique. This is why the Qi Chuzhe Party and Donglin are like Xiaoqiang who cannot be beaten. No matter how big the blow it suffers, they can always get up and take power. This is why.
Because they are not alone, but a bunch of people.
These people must be cleaned up. It is not enough to catch them in one go, and they have to be eradicated!
Question, so many people!
Once he takes action, wouldn’t he offend the gentry from Shandong, Shanxi, Henan and Northern Zhili?
Because Li Zicheng ignored all the gentry and offended all the gentry, he was unable to sit firmly. He became the emperor for dozens of days.
He can't learn from Li Zicheng!
What to do?
He frowned and pondered for a while, then picked up the list and raised his hand and said, "Brother-in-law, sort out these lists, divide them according to the place, and then send them to the heads of secret guards in various places, and ask them to check them out to see if there are other famous gentry besides these gentry, and then make a list and hand it over."
His trick is called transferring contradictions, and he uses other local gentry to suppress these gentry-building and private gentry.
At that time, people will not point the finger at him, the emperor. After all, who will not be able to compete with the emperor who ruled the world when there are substitutes?
Moreover, there is another advantage in attracting batches and hitting batches like this, that is, it shows his attitude from the side. He is not trying to suppress the gentry, he is just dealing with the gentry who treasoned the country.
Feng Quan and Xie Sheng thought that the Crazy King Zhu Qizhu was as regent Dorgon said, and that no one was using it, and were preparing to reuse the people they recommended.
So, they pulled up all the little brothers who could pull them up, for fear of missing one.
These are all their capitals to take power in the future!
At that time, they can form cliques in the court again, and they will call the wind and rain. Moreover, there will be two courts. Whether it is the Yongsheng Dynasty of the Crazy King Zhu Qizhu or the Shunzhi Dynasty of Jiannu, they can call the wind and rain!
Don't you know that the Regent Dorgon was betting on their lives, betting that they could fool the Crazy King Zhu Qi and have a prosperous life in Yongsheng Dynasty.
If the bet is won, everyone will naturally be happy. If Feng Quan, Xie Sheng and others can hold important positions in Yongsheng Dynasty, they will be like the Tianqi Dynasty and Chongzhen Dynasty, like the help of God, and beat the Ming Dynasty to make the Ming Dynasty urinate.
If you lose the bet, it's nothing. Anyway, Feng Quan and Xie Sheng are not children of the Eight Banners, so they will die if they die, and they will not lose at all!
Of course, Feng Quan and Xie Sheng may not necessarily have the same intention and devoted themselves to Jiannu's life.
If the Yongsheng Dynasty could become strong and destroy Jiannu, they would naturally keep following the Crazy King.
If the Yongsheng Dynasty was like the Tianqi Dynasty and the Chongzhen Dynasty, they were so anxious that they were in trouble and storms, they would naturally step on the back and help Jiannu trample on the Yongsheng Dynasty to death.
In other words, they also have the meaning of betting on both ends. They raise the bets wherever they are stronger. No matter which side they win, they can steal the high position and call the wind and rain!
Unfortunately, the Crazy King Zhu Qizhu has long seen through the remnants of the eunuch party who disregarded the rise and fall of the country in order to fight for power and profit. They did not know that they could be glorious again when they died.
Of course, Zhuqizhao is not just about trying to deal with these traitors. Although the capital has been recaptured, Shanhaiguan and Liaodong are still in the hands of Jiannu. Moreover, Jiannu and the Mongolian Yuan tribes have long been colluding with each other, and he has to guard against the Mongolian Yuan forces in the north.
To this end, he made a major adjustment to his subordinates.
Dingguo Duke Qin Banghan was transferred back to the northwest by him, and was responsible for the defense of Shanxi and Shaanxi. His 250,000 Qin troops were stationed in Ningxia Town, Yulin Town, Yansui Town, Taiyuan Town and Datong Town respectively.
He transferred 150,000 Huguang troops to the north of the capital, and were respectively responsible for guarding Xuanfu Town, Jizhou Town and Yongping Town.
He transferred the 250,000 Southwest Army to the Three Guards in Tianjin to rest and recuperate, because the Tianjin Guards are not only an important node of the Grand Canal in Beijing and Hangzhou, but also bordering the sea, and transporting food and grass is quite convenient, so there is no need to worry about the food and grass of the 250,000 army.
As for the Pingdong Army, Pingxi Army, Pingnan Army, Pingbei Army, Zhendong Army, Zhenxi Army, Zhennan Army, Zhenbei Army, Andong Army, Anxi Army, Annan Army and Anbei Army were transferred to Tongzhou by him, because Tongzhou is the northernmost node of the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou, and transporting food and grass is also quite convenient.
In the capital city, it is enough to have the Imperial Guards, the Qi family army and the Imperial Guards stationed there. There are hundreds of thousands of troops outside. If Jiannu can fight, he will not run to Liaodong.
After everything was arranged, he summoned Feng Quan and Xie Sheng to the imperial study room.
After the two of them met, he pretended to be kind and said: "Two beloved ministers, come on, I want to ask you for help and advise."
Does this mean let us go?
Feng Quan and Xie Sheng secretly looked at each other, but gritted their teeth and got up and moved to the dragon desk.
Zhu Qidiao seemed to point to the map on the Long Case without any hesitation and said, "Two dear friends, I intend to take down Shanhaiguan, recover Liaodong, and conquer the world. Do you know the layout of Jiannu in the Shanhaiguan area?"
When Feng Quan and Xie Sheng heard this, they couldn't help but look at the Dragon Case.
After seeing this, both of them were stunned.
This is the defense map of the Yongsheng Dynasty army near the capital!
There are 50,000 in Xuanfu Town, 50,000 in Jizhou Town, 50,000 in Yongping Town, 120,000 in Tongzhou, 250,000 in Tianjin, and 40,000 in Beijing. These people alone are more than 500,000 in total. This madman is indeed strong and powerful!
Of course, this is not the point. The point is that they have received such important information, should they secretly pass it to Jiannu?
At this time, both of them became more careful. No matter whether they wanted to secretly pass it to Jiannu, it was always right to remember this defense map.
The two stared at the map for a while, and Feng Quan suddenly bowed: "Your Majesty, I have heard of the arrangements of Shanhaiguan and Liaodong. Jiannu seemed to have supplemented 100,000 troops for Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi. Wu Sangui seemed to be still responsible for guarding Shanhaiguan, and Shang Kexi was responsible for guarding Guanning Jin defense line."
When Xie Sheng heard this, he was shocked.
Okay, Feng Quan, you have made your best efforts to please this lunatic.
Since you have given your best, I have given my best too!
He hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have heard that Jiannu has brought all the more than 100 red-clothed cannons arranged in the capital to Shanhaiguan. Moreover, there were originally hundreds of red-clothed cannons in Shanhaiguan. The two sides combined have more than 200. Master, you must be careful!"
Hehe, why am I careful? More than two hundred red cannons are nothing!
Zhu Qizhu nodded as if he was just a fool, then frowned and said, "There is a 100,000 army in Shanhaiguan alone? If there are ten, it will be attacked, five, it will be fought, the enemy can fight, the fewer can escape, and the better can be avoided. It seems that more than 400,000 troops are not enough."
After saying that, he opened another scroll on the table, stared at the map above and frowned and pondered.
My God, this is the nine-sided defense map!
When Feng Quan and Xie Sheng met, they began to remember it quickly.
Zhu Qizhe stared at the map for a while, and suddenly asked again: "Where are the men and horses of the Mongolian Yuan tribes? Do you know where are they going?"
Feng Quan quickly replied: "It seems that they have all returned to their respective tribes."
Zhu Qizhuo nodded slightly, then sighed: "It seems that the people on the nine sides cannot move. I need to transfer some people from Jiangnan to come."
After saying that, he waved his hand again, "Okay, my dear friends, you guys go back first, I will think about it."
When Feng Quan and Xie Sheng heard this, they hurriedly bowed their hands.
Zhu Qizhuo looked at the backs of the two people and couldn't help but smile.
Chapter completed!
