Chen Yan was very angry, and his cabinet chief assistant had not yet sat hot.

Why is Chongzhen about to fight back?

Wei Dezao on the side was worried, and said: "Lord Shoufu, the minister sent an envoy to Daqing, but Huang Taiji promised with a fierce clap that he would definitely be able to eliminate Chongzhen!" "

"Extermination? Chongzhen now has 200,000 armored warriors, what will he Huang Taiji take to destroy? "

Chen Yan looked at himself as a member of the Donglin Party.

"Colleagues, you and I are both Donglin Party members! Now if Chongzhen comes back, I am afraid that you and I will not have good fruits to eat!" "

"You all think of a way now!"

Civil servants, you speak, I speak.

"Only by letting the clans and landlords organize their own armed forces can they not only resist Chongzhen, but also protect the territory and people, deal with the peasant army, and kill two birds with one stone!" , Qian Qianyi said calmly.

"In that case, will it cause a lot of arrogance to divide one side?" , Chen Yan was worried.

Qian Qianyi rolled his eyes: "When is it, and you are still worried about the arrogance and the strong?" "

"Don't argue, we haven't even taken down the garrisons of two thousand Janissaries and two thousand brocade guards, what can we expect?" , Hube Shangshu said.

"Those noble sons and daughters of the Beijing camp, 30,000 people, have been for more than ten days, and they are stunned that they can't take the 160 guards and the Praetorian Guard, we should now find a way to eliminate the enemies of the Jingshi first!" , Yang Sichang simply walked all the way to dark.

"Shangshu of the military department, what is your opinion?"

Yang Sichang, Shangshu of the military department, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "The Chongzhen Emperor can recruit 200,000 soldiers, why can't we recruit soldiers and horses?" "

"Honorable and civil servants, presumably you don't want to be executed by Chongzhen Lingchi, right?"

"Since you don't want to die, donate your money!"

"Call on the landlords and gentry of the whole city to donate their money!"

"At the same time, let the literati write a few articles about Chongzhen in Taiyuan Mansion, Datong Mansion, and killing the gentry, and circulate it in Jingshi!"

"At that time, those landlords and gentry will not obediently pay money and recruit soldiers and horses?"

Yang Sichang's words made the ministers and civil servants of the entire cabinet dumbfounded.

"Shangshu of the military department, isn't this going to cut meat from ourselves?"

"How? I can't bear the child can't set the wolf! "

"In the future, you will slowly get some money from other places!"

Chen Yan Shoufu was very satisfied and nodded continuously.

"Yang Sichang is worthy of being a Shangshu of the Military Department, and the ten nets you proposed last year killed Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong!"

"Now this method you proposed, I will see!"

"Cabinet ministers, what do you think?"

"For today's plan, of course, it is done according to what Shangshu of the military department said!"

These civil officials, before Chongzhen begged them to donate money, they could not take a penny.

Now, in order to recruit soldiers and horses to deal with the Chongzhen Emperor.

One by one, they donated eighty percent of their family property.

Among them, the most donated was the national governor Zhou Kui.

He was the father of Empress Zhou and the grandfather of the Yongchang Emperor, supported by the ministers.

As the grandfather of the Yongchang Emperor, he is currently in power.

With enough power, in order to ensure his power, he actually donated eight million taels of silver.

"As the abbot of the country, as the grandfather of the Yongchang Emperor, I resolutely oppose Chongzhen's killing of landlords and killing the gentry, and I donate eight million taels of silver to recruit soldiers and horses to intercept Chongzhen's return to Beijing!"

Chen Yan Shoufu was very moved and pointed at Zhou Kui.

"You see no, everyone learn from the national abbot! The abbot can donate most of his family property for the sake of Daming, and can resolutely oppose Chongzhen for the sake of the Yongchang Emperor! "

Most of the civil servants breathed a sigh of relief, this national abbot is not afraid, what are they afraid of.

As long as the national abbot is not liquidated by Chongzhen, then he Chongzhen has no reason to liquidate the civil ministers.

In less than three days, the entire civil official group, the Xungui Group, donated 60 million taels of silver.

When the cabinet ministers counted the donated silver, they did not expect that the entire Jingshi could donate so much silver.

With the blessing of 60 million taels of silver, the cabinet issued several recruitment notices in the Beijing Division.

In order to ensure the safety of the Jing Division, Chen Yan Shoufu and Shangshu Yang Sichang of the military department requisitioned grain and grass from the north directly.

"Lord Shoufu, this Beizhi subordinate, the land will be scraped three feet, and the grain and grass have only been collected to about 100,000 stones!" (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) )

Shoufu Chen Yan was in a very low mood.

Chongzhen has an army of more than 200,000, can this grain and grass be collected so quickly?

"Hell, then Chongzhen them, where did they collect so much grain and grass?"

Yang Sichang was a little desperate: "How do I know? Since we supported the Yongchang Emperor to ascend the throne, we have arranged for personnel to go to Beizhi to collect grain and grass! "

"In the past ten days, after digging three feet of ground, I have only made up 40,000 stones."

"To make up enough for the 30,000 people in the Beijing camp, as well as the recruited landlords, and the food and grass of all the soldiers and horses of the children of the Shi clan, I am afraid that without the preparation of grain and grass for three months or even half a year, it is impossible to complete such a task!"

Yang Sichang's answer completely made Chen Yan desperate.

"Then it's strange, Chongzhen their logistics transportation, how is it so strong?"

The vast majority of civil servants are Donglin Party members.

They were all around Yang Sichang and Chen Yan.

"Lord Shoufu, Shangshu of the military department, Chongzhen and their more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, although I don't know where they collected the grain and grass, but we heard that their horse team transporting grain has at least 10,000 carriages!"

"With so much grain and grass, the Jin merchants of Taiyuan Prefecture were raided, could it be the grain and grass obtained by raiding their homes?"

Shoufu Chen Yan was taken aback: "What's the thing?" A convoy of 10,000 carriages? "

"Impossible, impossible! Even if the Daming Imperial Court gathered all the general soldiers, it would not be possible to have 10,000 carriages! "

"Horse-drawn carriages are expensive to build, and they are not as cheap as recruiting people and displaced people, and transporting grain and grass in wheelbarrows and baskets!"

"Chongzhen, is there too much food to eat?"

The civil servants thoroughly fried the pan, they discussed for most of the day, did not make a single progress.

The Chongzhen Emperor continued to march towards Datong City with an army of 230,000 troops.

Wang Chengen took Jin Yiwei and escorted 10,000 carriages and followed closely behind.

The entire Jingshi and civil officials quarreled in the court for three consecutive days.

Now they are arguing again over the problem of food and grass.

"30,000 stones, 30,000 stones of grain and grass collected in half a month, not enough for the 30,000 soldiers in the Beijing camp to eat for two months!"

"Then only let the landlord gentry donate some grain!" , Yang Sichang put forward his own opinion.

Chen Yan thought about it and looked at Qian Qianyi.

"Elder Qian Ge, you are the leader of the Donglin Party, how can you raise food and grass?"

"Didn't you raise sixty million taels of silver? Heavy money to buy food, heavy money to recruit soldiers and horses will not get! "

"Under the heavy reward there will be a brave man!"

Qian Qianyi's words made the ministers instantly enlightened.

"Elder Qian Ge is worthy of being the leader of our Donglin Party, and this sentence makes everyone suddenly cheerful."

Qian Qianyi calmly held a fan to fan the wind.

"Although the old man does not have the talent of the heavens and the earth like Zhuge Kongming, he has at least half of the talent like Zhuge Kongming!"
