Chapter 67 Autumn Harvest, Autumn Harvest

Hearing Chongzhen's question.

Wang Huazhen knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty, please punish me."

He didn't even try to make an excuse, but just knelt down and apologized.

Chongzhen felt his blood boiling.

I was almost so angry that I vomited blood on the spot!

With an unpleasant expression, he asked, "How much silver did you embezzle?"

Wang Huazhen: "I have never taken the initiative to embezzle money, but I am no exception in the officialdom. I have accepted gifts from my subordinates and also given gifts to my superiors.

I can’t remember exactly how much money I’ve had over the years! I’m willing to donate all my wealth to the Emperor to help him reopen the East Factory…”

Donate silver.

Chongzhen said this was possible.

However, what Emperor Chongzhen wanted to know more was how much silver Wang Huazhen had.

However, Chongzhen was not in a position to ask such questions.

Wang Chengen saw what Chongzhen was thinking.

He asked, "Master Wang, you have just been released from prison for a short time, and someone has sent you money?"

Wang Huazhen: "After I was released from prison, I was appointed as an imperial envoy by the emperor. Several of my former subordinates came to visit me and gave me more than 8000 taels of silver.

Adding the remaining silver that this old minister originally had, the total is now only over 15,000 taels. Although the silver is not much, it is a small token of my appreciation..."

Although this amount of money is not much.

But Emperor Chongzhen felt a sinking feeling in his heart when he heard this.

Wang Huazhen was originally a member of the Donglin Party, but later defected to Wei Zhongxian.

Now the eunuch party has long been overthrown.

Wang Huazhen stayed in prison for several more years.

He had just been released from prison and was appointed as the imperial commissioner, but he did not have any other real position yet.

All we can say is that there is hope for recovery.

Someone has already given him more than 8000 taels of silver.

So what about those other ministers in the court who hold high positions and great power?

Chongzhen always thought that the imperial court was poor, and that he, the emperor, was also poor.

Then the ministers in the court should also be very poor.

Only now did he realize that he, the emperor, was the only one who was poor!

However, all the ministers in the court were extremely wealthy.

This is so ironic and so sad!

However, what could Chongzhen do if he knew about it?

Could he kill all those ministers?

At this moment.

Emperor Chongzhen truly understood it.

Why did his royal brother Zhu Youxiao reuse an evil man like Wei Zhongxian?

Because there are only evil people like Wei Zhongxian.

Only then can we deal with those hypocrites in the court.

Only evil people like Wei Zhongxian.

Only then can we get the money from those hypocrites.

Think about it this way.

Emperor Chongzhen became more determined to reopen the East Factory.

As for the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Now it is only in name only and is completely useless.

We can only wait until the Middle East factory is re-established.

Let's reorganize the Jinyiwei again...

Next, the king and his two ministers continued their secret discussion.

Chongzhen gritted his teeth and took out a sum of silver, plus the more than 10,000 taels of silver donated by Wang Huazhen.

As start-up capital for reopening the East Factory.

The subsequent funding will depend on Dongchang itself to find a way.

As for manpower.

Chongzhen appointed Wang Chengen to lead the East Factory.

A group of eunuchs were secretly transferred from the palace, as well as some of Wang Huazhen's former border troops.

Formed the team of the East Factory.

Then he began to secretly investigate the corruption of civil and military officials...

……

Seoul, Marshal's Mansion.

The generals under Mao Wenlong gathered here.

Many people haven't seen Mao Wenlong for a while.

Unexpectedly, when we met this time, I suddenly found that Mao Wenlong seemed to have become a lot younger.

His subordinates congratulated Mao Wenlong one after another.

They thought that Mao Wenlong had been favored by the gods.

The gods helped Mao Wenlong become younger...

In fact, Mao Wenlong himself discovered it.

I don't know what the reason is.

As a result, his body, which was already in its 50s, seemed to be growing in reverse.

The whole person feels younger and younger.

My mental state is getting better and better, and my body is becoming more energetic.

Although the specific reason is not clear.

But it's always a good thing to be younger and more energetic.

Otherwise, considering Mao Wenlong was in his 50s.

There really isn't much time left to do big things!

Wang Wenlong accepted all the congratulations from his subordinates without explaining the matter.

Instead, he said to his men: "The autumn harvest season has arrived, and the Korean Peninsula has basically stabilized, so we should carry out another autumn harvest."

"Hahahaha, Marshal, you are absolutely right. We should take advantage of the autumn harvest to get rid of the Later Jin Tartars." Shang Kexi said with a big laugh.

Geng Zhongming: "The Marshal is worthy of being the Marshal. You use the word 'autumn harvest' very well! The Later Jin Tartars regard us Han people as two-legged sheep, so we should treat them as crops and harvest them together during the autumn harvest..."

Kong Youde: "The commander-in-chief is wise and powerful. Wherever the commander-in-chief points his sword, I will go through fire and water and never refuse to die."

Other generals followed suit.

All kinds of flattering words are constantly offered...

Mao Wenlong: "Very good, it seems that everyone can't wait any longer, then we will destroy the Later Jin Tartars in one fell swoop."

"Please give orders, Marshal..." the generals said in unison.

Then Mao Wenlong began to announce the battle plan that had been prepared in advance: "This time when we attack the Later Jin Tartars, we will divide our army into two routes.

The Western Army was led by Shang Kexi, with Zhou Wenhuang, Yang Yuwei and Shan Dongzhong as deputies. They sailed out to sea and landed near Zhuanghe, Lushunkou, Panjin and Jinzhou.

The goal was to capture Jinzhou, Shenyang, Guangning and other places along the southern part of the Later Jin territory, and then kill all the way to the Mongolian grasslands.

The Central Army is led by Kong Youde, with Li Jingxian, Zhang Pan and Chen Zhong as deputies. Go north from the Yalu River area, and as long as the Southern Army does not encounter any major problems, you will kill all the way to the heartland of the Later Jin.

The Eastern Route Army was led by Geng Zhongming, accompanied by Chen Jisheng and Liu Aita. The Eastern Route Army also sailed out to sea, heading north along the coast, and took Sakhalin Island as a base.

Land and kill the Later Jin Tartars' homeland. I want you to destroy their foundation, wipe out their ancestral lineage, and cut off their retreat. Then kill all the way to the west and south and join forces with the Central Army as soon as possible. Do you understand?"

"We will follow the Marshal's orders and ensure the completion of the mission..." the generals responded in unison.

Only Zheng Fengshou was staring at Mao Wenlong.

Zheng Fengshou was a surrendered general from Goryeo.

His position is rather awkward and cannot be compared with other generals.

And his men were not equipped with guns or artillery.

I wanted to take this opportunity to make some contribution.

I hope that I and my subordinates can get better treatment.

Strive to gain a foothold under Mao Wenlong.

As a result, Mao Wenlong did not assign him any combat mission at all.

Of course.

In addition to Zheng Fengshou, there is also Mao Chenglu.

No combat missions were assigned either.

But the two are completely different things.

Mao Chenglu was the commander of Mao Wenlong's personal guard camp.

It's normal that he wasn't assigned a combat mission...

Mao Wenlong continued: "In addition, the independent regiment will follow the Central Army, the New 1st Regiment will follow the Western Army, and the New 2nd Regiment will cooperate with the Eastern Army.

This time we have sufficient troops, weapons, equipment and firepower, which are thousands of times stronger than the enemy. I hope everyone can win the first battle and make more achievements. "

"We will ensure that we complete the mission and live up to the Marshal's expectations..." the generals responded in unison.

Lao Ding, Lao Kong and Lao Chen and others.

They all responded in unison: "We promise to complete the task..."

Now in terms of military strength, Mao Wenlong has the most troops under his command.

After semi-occupying the Korean Peninsula, Mao Wenlong and his men detained and organized them again.

The total strength has exceeded that of the Eighth Route Army.

In terms of status, Mao Wenlong is a well-deserved overlord.

Let’s talk about the cooperation between the two sides.

The initiative is in the hands of Mao Wenlong.

So in such a formal occasion.

Old Ding, Old Kong, and Old Chen should all give Mao Wenlong enough respect...

Zheng Fengshou looked eagerly.

Look, everything is arranged.

He was so anxious that he asked, "Marshal, can you assign us some combat missions?"
