Capital.

The news of the attack of 100,000 horses in Houjin came over.

Both the Donglin Party and the former Eunuch Party have stopped attacking each other and fighting among themselves.

At present, the foreign enemy is rarely united.

"The top priority is to determine who will organize the defense?"

"It's a pity that Sun Shangshu is gone, otherwise it would never be like this!"

The court is in the north, and there are actually hundreds of thousands of horses around the Jingshi.

However, since Sun Chengzong left, these soldiers and horses did not listen to the orders of the Jingshi Imperial Court.

Especially the Ningjin defense line in Liaodong, Yuan Chonghuan and Mao Wenlong, almost listened to the tune and did not listen to the announcement.

If you want to mobilize people, you must first bring military pay and food.

"It's come to this, what's the use of talking so much?"

The deputy cabinet assistant said with considerable dissatisfaction.

When it was Sun Chengzong's farewell, it made the Jingshi court panic for a while.

It's almost going to collapse!

Especially the people and horses in the Jingshi were almost out of control.

Fortunately, the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party joined forces to stabilize the situation.

"I nominate Hong Chengchou, Lord Hong. "

The left squire of the military department raised his hand and said.

"Yes, it's still Lord Hong Chengchou who quickly recalled Liaodong.

Let him preside over the defense of the Kyoshi. "

"I also think that only Hong Chengchou can. "

Several people in the cabinet summed it up and immediately transferred Hong Chengchou from Liaodong.

The rank of secretary of the military department is the title of the military department, and he leads the military power within the scope of the Beijing division.

Half a month later, the minister, who had been dismissed by Liu Chan, became the secretary of the Ministry of War.

At the moment, as far as the north is concerned, this one can be considered to be able to fight.

At least in dealing with the rebels, he is very experienced.

He has won several big battles, so the ministers will think of him for the first time.

Council Hall.

When Hong Chengchou took office, the first thing he did was to ask for money.

"How much can you pay me this time?"

"There are still 200,000 taels of silver in the household department, which can be used as all military salaries. "

As soon as the head of the household department began, he took out all the family resources.

After all, Houjin's "057" 100,000 horses must have come to Jingshi.

At this time, it is natural to take out all the money from the state treasury.

"Why is there only that?"

Some cabinet ministers frowned.

Every time I wanted to use the money, I found that the household was really poor.

Tobe Shangshu said helplessly, "The drought in the past few years.

Your Excellency knows, there are many places where taxes are collected.

The imperial court still has to find a way to provide disaster relief, otherwise countless rebellious armies will emerge. "

In this regard, the ministers can only put it on hold for the time being.

"Two hundred thousand taels?"

Hong Chengchou couldn't help frowning, this is too little.

"Ladies and gentlemen, with all due respect.

Two hundred thousand taels of silver can only mobilize the people around him.

But after the emperor's soldiers came to the city, the Jingshi would definitely be attacked fiercely.

It also takes a lot of money to mobilize the people to defend the city. "

As he spoke, he looked at the head of the cabinet.

"Ahem. It seemed that the cabinet chief, who felt that 200,000 was indeed a bit little, coughed twice.

said to the ministers present.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a time of national crisis.

I also hope that you can be generous and let Jingshi get through this difficult time for the time being. "

In his hurry, it was the only way he could come up with it.

When the ministers here get together, they can always make up some more military expenses.

I didn't think about it, and the ministers who heard the words just lowered their heads.

"In that case, then I'll donate five hundred taels!"

"I'll donate two hundred taels!"

"I'll donate three hundred taels. "

It took a group of people to donate most of the day before they collected 20,000 or 30,000 silver.

There are still many people who only took out a few dozen taels of silver.

Seeing this, Hong Chengchou couldn't help but reprimand angrily.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Huang Taiji's men and horses have passed through Shanxi and arrived in the territory of Beizhili.

There are ten days left at most, and you will be able to hit the Jingshi.

If the city is broken, what will happen to you?"

Without the emperor's constraints, the people present were unscrupulous in making money.

Hong Chengchou clearly understands this, and these people in front of him are very rich.

But I just don't want to take it out.

When the ministers heard this, they complained one after another.

"Lord Hong, these two hundred taels are all the savings.

You have to let the old man save some money, don't you eat chaff!"

"Yes, there are so many Yulu, how can there be any extra money!"

Obviously, they are embarrassed, after all, there are a number of people in the imperial court.

If you, a person who is worth a few hundred taels of money, suddenly take out tens of thousands of taels, aren't you guilty of corruption?

When the eunuch party and the Donglin party were fighting each other, corruption was also a very useful crime.

As long as you find out, you can check and remove the other party openly!

Therefore, the people present would not, and did not dare to take out too much silver.

Otherwise, after this war, if the other party mentions this matter, what should they do if they are dismissed after the autumn?

Hong Chengchou, who heard the words, stopped talking, just sat on the chair, motionless.

With this money, how can you defend the city?

Houjin dispatched 100,000 horses, and at least 60,000 were below the Jingshi.

Under normal circumstances, without more than 100,000 people, it cannot be held.

What's more, now that the emperor is gone, there is no King Qin.

According to Hong Chengchou's understanding of Yuan Chonghuan and Mao Wenlong, they would never take the risk of sending troops.

At most, when Houjin evacuated, he pursued it.

Therefore, guarding the Jingshi can only fall into the hands of the imperial court.

However, the prevarication of the ministers gave Hong Chengchou a headache.

Great calamity is coming, one by one like an iron rooster!

Seeing this scene, the cabinet chief assistant could only stand up and say.

"In that case, the old man donated 30,000!"

As soon as these words came out, the people around were surprised.

The Cabinet Vice-Ministers also stood up.

"The old man donated 20,000 yuan!"

Subsequently, several cabinet ministers donated money ranging from 10,000 to 30,000 yuan.

I want to make an example, so that the ministers can also pay a little more.

He even brought a list and wrote down the amount of money and silver donated.

But when the ministers saw it, they still kept prevaricating and complaining.

There were only a few Shangshu and squires, who barely donated a few thousand taels more.

The ministers below the third grade still don't donate money.

What they have in their minds is:

"You are all big shots, so naturally you are not afraid of liquidation.

But we are all small people, who can say well about the future?"

What's more, they came up with a solution.

"I'll donate half a year's money!"

After the first person spoke, the ministers behind followed one after another.

"Yes, I will also donate half a year!"

In the conference hall, it is bustling to watch.

In the end, he made up more than 100,000 taels.

Even if ten taels were given to each of the people defending the city, more than 10,000 people would be gathered.

Defending the city is a huge risk, and people will die.

Without real money, the people would not have participated in the defense of the city.

In desperation, Hong Chengchou sighed, and then went to arrange defense.

What kind of people are they?

Ten days later.

Hong Chengchou, who reluctantly recruited 30,000 people and 100,000 soldiers.

Close the gate of the Kyoshi tightly.

Under normal circumstances, to guard such a large capital, it is necessary to release some of the men and horses outside.

But Hong Chengchou didn't dare, because he knew the true combat power of these 100,000 people.

To deal with the rebellious army, you can barely fight a dozen with the advantage of armor and ordnance.

Against the elite Houjin cavalry and foot soldiers, a few charges were scattered.

......

After defending for four or five days, the Ming army suffered heavy losses.

The gate of the capital division is in an emergency.

Inside the government office.

The head of the cabinet said bitterly.

"Guys, get some more money out.

Mobilize the people of the city and go up to the city walls to defend the city!"

There are hundreds of thousands of people in the capital, and there are more than 100,000 or 200,000 young people who can defend the city.

If you can mobilize these people, rely on the tall city of Jingshi.

There's every chance to hold on!

"There's really no money in the next place!"

"My whole family now eats one meal a day!"

"I really can't afford the money, so I'm willing to go up to the city wall to fight in person!"

In order not to pay for it, what the ministers are saying, they all said.

Even the words of selling the ancestral house were spoken.

To sum up, it's all in one sentence.

If you don't have money, you need to die!

Hong Chengchou, who was on the side, didn't want to say anything anymore.

Standing in the council hall, you can even hear the sound of siege artillery outside the city!

However, the ministers are still entangled here, refusing to pay even a penny more!

In this regard, everyone in the cabinet had no choice but to look at Hong Chengchou.

"Alas, I have already thought of all the ways I can think of. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Even the first assistant of the cabinet is particularly tired at the moment.

To put it mildly, the ministers relaxed slightly.

But it's just the so-called donation.

Some people have even donated all their money for the next ten years.

It is not uncommon for ministers to donate money for five years and eight years. []

But none of this is of any use!

Without exception.

The twelfth day of the Houjin siege.

The north gate of the Jingshi was broken.

When the cabinet chief heard the news, he hurriedly shouted to the people next to him.

"Quick, hurry up and organize the defense!

Drive the enemy out, we still have a chance!"

However, except for the deputy cabinet assistant, the rest of them ran away.

After hearing that Houjin broke through the North City Gate, the last bit of courage to resist was gone.

"Where's the person, there's someone!"

The first assistant of the cabinet, the most powerful person in the capital division shouted at this moment.

However, there was no one outside to answer him.

Even the people who poured tea and handed out water all ran away.

"Lord Wei, they're all gone, they're all gone.

Go and evacuate.

The Tartars entered the city, and I don't know how chaotic it is!"

The deputy cabinet assistant said a word and left in a hurry.

Being able to save it until the end is already considered a love.

Looking at the empty hall, the cabinet chief sat on the ground.

He sighed helplessly.

Only now can he truly understand Liu Chan, the emperor.

In the Jingshi Imperial Court, who are the special mothers!

No wonder the emperor left!

The head of the cabinet couldn't help but regret it.

Knowing this, it would be better to leave with Sun Chengzong and defect to the emperor in Jiangnan!

It's just that the supreme power of the Jingshi Imperial Court makes him greedy and reluctant to leave.

"Boom!"

"Bang!"

The sound of artillery had already reached the imperial city, and there were Houjin soldiers who rushed in outside the door.

Kill people when they see them, and a few people who run slowly have stolen treasures in their hands.

Killed on the spot!

"There's another person here!"

The Houjin soldier who rushed in looked at the hanged man in front of him.

I just feel unlucky.

Then he took a sip and went to search for other places.

It's an imperial city, there are so many good things!

A few days later.........

Kyoshi settled down.

Huang Taiji stood in the Fengtian Palace, looking at the dragon chair on the top, and there was a set of dragon robes on it.

It was put by Liu Chan before, and no one dared to move after that.

"It's so good, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty will really enjoy it!"

Looking at the splendid and luxurious hall, the emperor Taiji from the black water and white mountain.

The eyes are straight, and they are reluctant to take them away.

"Lord of the Kingdom!"

Fan Wencheng walked in from outside and saw Huang Taiji stroking the dragon chair.

"What?"

Huang Taiji, who had returned to his senses, turned around and asked.

"The warehouse was empty, and there was not a penny.

There is no goods, and there is no way to reward the soldiers who fight. "

Fan Wencheng said helplessly, he didn't expect Jingshi to be poor like this.

Not to mention gold and silver money, the warehouse is empty.

Nothing.

In addition to the palace in front of him, Jingshi can be said to have fought in vain.

"No money, doesn't the emperor still have an inner treasury?"

"It's all searched, it's empty!

The most valuable thing is the gold-encrusted gate. "

In order to be able to seize the country, Huang Taiji specially ordered this time.

After the Houjin people entered the city, they were not allowed to kill people at will, let alone loot at will.

In the future, this will be Houjin's territory, and it can't be looted like before.

"Lord of the Kingdom. Fan Wencheng thought for a while.

"Why don't you raid the ministers of the capital division?"

"Didn't you say before that you should be kind to Minister Mingren?"

Huang Taiji frowned slightly, he knew that in order to rule here, he also needed Han people.

It's like the person in front of you.

It's okay for Dorgon and the others to fight, but they definitely can't plan like this man.

"My lord, the top priority at the moment is to find a way to reward the soldiers.

It's always hard to force it and give them nothing. "

Kyoshi is rich, and there are countless riches in it.

This is the idea of all the post-Jin soldiers, so they will fight bravely when they attack the city.

Once it is not satisfied, it is easy to have problems.

Having just started the transformation from the grassland tribe, Huang Taiji couldn't immediately change everyone's concept.

"Well, just do as you say.

But how much money can these people have?"

Huang Taiji waved his hand, thinking about whether to take out the palace utensils and reward them?

But a few days later, the amount of money that came from the house.

To everyone's surprise.

"Lord of the country, this raid has obtained a total of 11 million silver and 800,000 taels of gold.

There are also all kinds of precious calligraphy and paintings of jewelry, equivalent to 7.6 million taels. "

When Huang Taiji heard this, he didn't seem to believe his ears.

"Are the officials of the Ming Dynasty so rich!"

When it is full, there are only 800 ministers in Beijing.

But this time, I copied out more than 20 million taels!

Not counting the hometowns of these people, how many big mansions and fertile fields, and how much money are hidden!

"Your Majesty, it's all greedy!

Only less than half of the people can be regarded as incorruptible. "

Then Fan Wencheng submitted the list of copying the house.

"Huge greed, huge greed!"

Even Huang Taiji was shocked by this number.

I don't understand how they are in the situation of being poor and white.

How much money can there be?

The Daming treasury earns four or five million taels a year, and some people have hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people's property!

"These people, they should be killed!

But now we don't have 1.4 kills, we still have to use them. "

Huang Taiji subconsciously wanted to kill this group of people, so greedy.

If it is appointed at that time, will you not be greedy for all the money?

But the next moment, he reacted.

We have to keep these people now, and it's better to kill them when they run out.

"The lord of the kingdom is wise!"

Fan Wencheng bowed and said.

"The one who should be surrendered this time, the minister thinks it is Hong Chengchou.

This person is a rare military general of the Ming Dynasty, and he can lead the Ming army to surrender. "

Now, although Houjin's combat power is very strong, it is too few.

In the future, a considerable number of Ming people will be needed to assist the Later Jin rule.

In addition to the full eight flags, there must also be the eight banners of the Han Dynasty.

"Well, this person is indeed worth recruiting!"

Huang Taiji nodded, and then found a way to recruit this person.

The rest of the Houjin centaurs, after being rewarded.

Began to conquer the various cities of the Northern Zhili.

From Shuntianfu to Baoding Mansion and Zhending Mansion.

A month later, Huang Taiji, who had just recruited Hong Chengchou.

It was received at the junction of Nanzhili and Shandong.

Bad news that the Golden Cavalry was destroyed after 500 years.

There was a little negligence in this fiasco.

What's more, these 500 men and horses met the officials and troops in Jiangnan.

For this reason, the post-gold people who were originally immersed in the joy of entering the customs.

Came back to your senses immediately.

The capture of Beizhili was just the beginning.

There are also a large number of rebels of Li Zicheng next to it, and there is also the emperor of the Ming people in the south!

The former is still far away, the latter is already in sight!

When the emperor Taiji asked the ministers who had been recruited to ask about the emperor's situation

The other party began to complain.

"Lord of the country, this Ming Dynasty should have perished!"

"Yes, natural disasters and man-made disasters, the emperor is mediocre!"

"That dog emperor, take the taxes of Jiangnan and enjoy himself there, and he doesn't care about the world!"

Huang Taiji was overjoyed, he still thought how powerful the Ming Emperor was!

Immediately dispatched 30,000 men to attack south.
