However, after two elite teams are gathered together, they can give a thousand-person scale, and the new imperial army will be hit harder than the department will be destroyed.
After the continuous elimination of the three-way imperial army and the heavy damage to the two-way imperial army through joint warfare, the imperial court tried its best to encircle and encircle more than ten guerrillas, and it became self-defeating
After all, no one who participated in the encirclement and suppression of his new imperial army knows whether these guerrillas will attack themselves once or not.
Emperor Chongzhen, who was far away from Nanjing, also didn’t want to see himself spending a lot of manpower and material resources to form a new imperial army, so he was divided by these guerrillas.
So 30,000 new troops were deployed to fight against the encirclement and suppression of tigers and leopards, and the guerrilla counterattack ended only after one month.
Of course, the end of the end of Chongzhen does not intend to and can not let go of the growing tiger and leopard army guerrillas in several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River
Because of this siege for more than a month, the court not only lost thousands of new imperial troops, but also lost more than a dozen counties and a lot of tax revenue.
Due to the continuous expansion of the imperial army, the limited tax revenue of the imperial court is not enough, so how can it withstand the losses?
Therefore, in order to further expand the imperial army and increase their own money for decisive battles with the Tiger and Leopard Army in the future.
Emperor Chongzhen, who had just experienced the failure of the first encirclement and suppression campaign, had to be under pressure to launch a larger encirclement and suppression campaign against these tiger and leopard guerrillas and destroy them in one fell swoop.
However, the news that Jin was wiped out by the tiger and leopard army before the second encirclement and suppression war began reached the ears of Emperor Chongzhen.
The expansion of the new army has not been completed, and even half of its expected number has not yet arrived. In addition, the guerrillas of the Tiger and Leopard Army in the south of the Yangtze River may threaten their home front at any time …
Such a situation is unfavorable to the imperial court. Emperor Chongzhen, no matter how capable he is, dare not fight a decisive battle with the Tiger and Leopard Army at this time.
This is the specific reason why Chongzhen frowned and looked dignified after hearing the news that Kim was defeated and destroyed.
If this result had come two months later, I might not have had so much concern after I dispatched heavy troops to wipe out the tigers and leopards guerrillas in the rear area
But contrary to his old rival, Tiger and Leopard Army, it happened that he destroyed the late gold at this time.
As Chongzhen’s dignified face slowly emerged with a hint of despair over time.
The front cabinet and records of the main hall had to come out to break this atmosphere full of despair and death.
After taking a deep breath, he spoke to Chongzhen and encouraged, "The court of the veteran minister is not hopeless …"
"According to the Royal Guards’ secret protection, the Tiger and Leopard Army has not expanded as they originally advertised … Even if they have expanded to a certain extent, the total strength is less than 150,000!"
"On the surface, there are a lot of 150,000 people … but there are not many who can really attack us …"
"Although the latter was destroyed by the butch army, it was impossible for the butch army to send out the first army without loss … If Wei Zhengma transferred troops to attack us, there was no way for the first army to continue to participate in the battle in a disastrous situation …"
"Plus the tiger and leopard army to the north, we must guard against the Mongols and his nomads. Their second army can’t move either …"
"The defender can attack the butch army at the very most with three armies with less than 100,000 people …"
"And the imperial court has 120,000 people, even if it doesn’t just expand 60,000 people to take part in the fighting …"
"The comparative advantage of the troops is still on our side …"
Chapter one hundred and ninety Silver again
Everyone in the hall knows that the words of cabinet records are encouraging the morale of the army.
After the words of the cabinet records, everyone’s face was dignified and the expression of despair did not change much.
But these words are as pleasant to the ears of Emperor Chongzhen as heavenly bosom friends.
Cabinet and records of words just say that finish chongzhen desperate face quickly with a smile.
At the same time, the whole person also became relaxed.
However, this ease did not last long and was interrupted by a sentence from the Ministry of War Shang.
"Positions and records of adults are right. As far as the total strength is concerned, the butch army can’t compare with us, but one thing we can’t compare with the butch army …"
"Tiger and Leopard Army can attack our troops, although there are three armies, but we can guard against the troops and there are not as many as recorded adults say …"
"The biggest reason is the activity of our rear butch army guerrillas …"
"A month ago, these guerrillas had already smashed our 30 thousand new army’s encirclement and suppression campaign, and their strength was even worse."
"If we don’t arrange heavy defense in the rear, these tigers and leopards guerrillas have become increasingly fierce, and they are likely to attack us directly from behind, and together with the tigers and leopards attacking forces, they will attack us back and forth and destroy us."
Emperor Chongzhen turned his attention to the cabinet and records as soon as his face changed consciousness.
Then I was nervous and looking forward to asking, "Ai Qing, can you solve this problem … If there is not enough troops, the new army will definitely not stop the attack pace of the butch army …"
Without letting Huang taiji wait too long for cabinet records, he once again said, "The strength of the tiger and leopard guerrillas is really getting stronger and stronger … It is absolutely impossible to encirclement and suppression in a short time without enough troops."
"In that case, we will give up the encirclement and suppression of these guerrillas and try to trap them in their activity area and prevent him from entering the battlefield …"
"So all problems will be solved …"
"The new army has just expanded 60,000 people, although there is not much fighting capacity, but let them rely on the city to surround some guerrillas, and they will still be able to win, otherwise the court will spend their money …"
"If the main force of the Tiger and Leopard Army dares to attack us, we can dispatch 120,000 well-trained new army elites to fight against them and promise not to let the Tiger and Leopard Army enter Jiangnan …"
The words of cabinet records are another very firm reassurance for Emperor Chongzhen.
Just when many faces began to smile because of cabinet records’ explanation.
I have resigned from the court many times, but I have not been allowed by Emperor Chongzhen, and the Ministry has come out without thinking.
At this moment, although the Ministry has not yet opened its mouth, the atmosphere of the whole hall has once again become dignified as soon as it is relaxed.
Because everyone in the hall knows that every time Bu Shang speaks in court in the past six months, Emperor Chongzhen will be furious.
Emperor Chongzhen’s confidant minister even though Bu Shang angered Emperor Chongzhen in court many times, Emperor Chongzhen threatened to kill Bu Shang with anger in court more than once, but the end result was that Emperor Chongzhen’s heart and abdomen were still alive and well, and he always occupied the position of Bu Shang, and he couldn’t retreat if he wanted to.
However, the emperor Chongzhen was provoked by the Ministry of Commerce and his anger was always vented.
There was no way to vent his anger to the Ministry, and his minister became the object of Emperor Chongzhen’s anger.
So every time Bu Shang took the initiative to speak at the meeting, the same result appeared.
A minister who was seen by Chongzhen for some unknown reason was either imprisoned directly by Chongzhen or beheaded directly by Chongzhen.
As time goes by, this scene will appear in front of the court.
Every time the Ministry came out to cry for poverty, his minister kept silent and stood in place for fear of being aroused. Emperor Chongzhen would vent his anger on himself.
Sure enough, as soon as the Ministry opens its mouth, it is crying poor.
"The pursuit of the new army continued to expand … plus the encirclement and suppression of the butch army guerrilla war consumption … the tax collected by the court in the first half of the year has been exhausted … If there is no supplement, even the salary of more than 100,000 new troops can’t be sent out … The court has no financial resources to support a large-scale battle …"
"Shut up …" Not to the surprise of the courtiers, the Ministry was still crying and throwing cold water, and it was just after Chongzhen that he got angry.
Without thinking about it, I began to scold, "If you want to fight this battle with silver, you have to fight this battle without silver … If you don’t fight this battle, the whole dynasty will be finished … Don’t you want to watch me become a national subjugation monarch and you become Wang Guochen?"
In the face of Chongzhen’s anger and the fact that the Ministry is still crying, all the ministers can respond by keeping their heads down and keeping silent.
After all, they don’t have superhuman powers, and they’re not the God of Wealth. It’s impossible to conjure up silver.
Without a solution, opening the mouth will not only not relieve Chongzhen’s anger, but will also make Emperor Chongzhen’s anger more prosperous.
And when Chongzhen’s angry eyes began to patrol back and forth among dozens of ministers to find a vent target.
Kelly Y Zhou, the biggest traitor of the Tiger and Leopard Army, was unexpectedly found out after the failure of the guerrilla encirclement campaign against the Tiger and Leopard Army.
Kelly Y Zhou, the biggest traitor of the Tiger and Leopard Army, knows very well that once he was destroyed by the Tiger and Leopard Army, he fell back into the backcourt of the Tiger and Leopard Army.
In order to keep his present position, Kelly Y Zhou must do everything possible to ensure that the court will not be wiped out by the Tiger and Leopard Army.
In order to ensure that the imperial court will not be destroyed by the tiger and leopard army, the new army forces will still have an advantage, and the situation that needs to be solved most is silver
More importantly, at this time, if you can give advice to the court to solve the problem of silver, then a surrender will definitely be valued again by Chongzhen.
Unlike now, although he is in a high position, he is not profitable and is despised by his ministers …
Chapter one hundred and ninety-one Bundle of interests
"Zhou Aiqing, don’t you have a good solution … if you can help the court solve the silver problem, I will definitely reward you and give you an official promotion …" There was a dead silence in the court, and someone took the initiative to come out, which made Emperor Chongzhen, who was almost enveloped by anger and despair, unable to help but be overjoyed, and then suddenly grabbed a lifeline in despair and quickly asked.
Compared with Chongzhen’s full face of expectation, most ministers around Kelly Y Zhou showed a relaxed and sarcastic smile.
It was easy because Kelly Y Zhou took the initiative to come out and bear the anger of Emperor Chongzhen.
Even if Kelly Y Zhou still can’t solve this problem in the end, the object of Chongzhen’s venting will be Kelly Y Zhou, and they can easily watch a drama that is still irrelevant for the time being.
The reason for ridicule is even simpler …
Kelly Y Zhou’s failure in the encirclement and suppression campaign against the Tiger and Leopard Army directly discredited himself and added his status of surrender. Almost no minister in the whole court took it and looked at him directly.
