Zhou Shixiong saw the fat man who was less than 20 years old playing deeply and sympathized with him. "Master, what's the matter if you ask me to come?"

After being disturbed by Zhou Shixiong, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't continue to sigh, "Zhou Aiqing, if you hadn't found Han Yu's evidence today, my fundraising order would have returned in vain. Now it took only half a day to raise two million taels of donations, and the food and salary of the royal army would be worry-free. Such merits must be rewarded heavily. Zhou Aiqing, just say anything you want."

Zhou Shixiong shook his head, "Your Majesty, it's not the time to be happy. This fundraising order must have a good ending. Think about it, those civil and military officials who have vomited blood cannot make any trouble privately and make a fortune from the military pay raised. I think it's time for the temporary command to launch the financial and military power in the hands of the ministers trusted by the emperor, so as to ensure that the food and money raised by hard work will not be wasted."

In fact, even if Zhou Shixiong didn't say it, Emperor Chongzhen understood. After all, the emperor could not do everything. It required military generals to train soldiers, and civil servants to distribute food and pay. If everyone resisted the emperor, even if Emperor Tang and Song Zu were resurrected, there would be no way. "Zhou Aiqing's words are reasonable. Do you have any good suggestions for this command?"

"It is certain that the emperor is also in charge of the commander of the three armies. The Ministry of War, Ministry of Revenue, and Ministry of Works must be included in the command center. The nobles form the general staff to give advice to the emperor. The Jinyiwei is responsible for collecting intelligence. I can only think of so much." Zhou Shixiong really wanted to suggest the removal of Yuan Chonghuan. His teacher was sent to the imperial prison. It is inevitable that Yuan Chonghuan would have any thoughts. However, the timing is wrong. Now Yuan Chonghuan is leading Man Gui, Zu Dashou and other Guanning Iron Cavalry in Ji Town. It is definitely not a good thing to change generals in the last battle.

"Okay, Zhou Aiqing is indeed a talented person, so that's what it does." Emperor Chongzhen originally thought it would be a bit too late to do this temporary command now. After Zhou Shixiong said this, he knew that he would do it no matter how late he was and put aside the control of civil servants.

Zhou Shixiong remembered that the red list would be released in later generations of fundraising. He announced the names and amounts of donors. In addition to making the donor famous, he also had the meaning of comparing and forcing donors to do so. "Your Majesty, I have another suggestion." Zhou Shixiong told Emperor Chongzhen about the idea of ​​the red list. Emperor Chongzhen immediately asked Tu Wenfu to come in, "Transfer to Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong."

Zhou Shixiong thought that I had nothing to do next, and if I stayed there, I would still cause trouble. "Master, I'll leave first if I have nothing to do."

"Zhou Aiqing, why is it okay? Of course, you have to explain the ideas you put forward. They will come here later, let's discuss them together." Emperor Chongzhen would let Zhou Shixiong go and firmly ask him to stay.

Zhou Shixiong didn't want to be the target of public criticism. After thinking for a while, he thought about it, "Emperor, if this idea was thought out by the emperor, the ministers would have to accept it even if they had any opinions. If the ministers knew that it was thought out by me, I'm afraid the emperor would have to spend a lot of time. The problem is that time does not wait for anyone. If this command cannot function as soon as possible, everything will be empty."

Emperor Chongzhen pondered for a long time. Zhou Shixiong's reason was very realistic. If he was involved in a war of words because of the identity of the proposer and wasted his only little time, what's the use of raising enough money and food? "Zhou Aiqing is right, you go back first, I know what to do." Zhou Shixiong finally got out and made up his mind to return to the inn and take people to inspect immediately. Emperor Chongzhen could not come to him.

Unfortunately, things go against their wishes, and Luo Yangxing, just left the palace, just as Luo Yangxing came to him. "Master Zhou, a disaster is a disaster!" Luo Yangxing's expression was not enough to describe it as panic. The muscles on his cheeks kept shaking and were in extreme horror.

"Sir Luo calm down." Zhou Shixiong saw Luo Yangxing's condition and would go crazy at any time if he ignored him. He had to hold his shoulder and let the nanorobots take action to save the person. Not long after, Luo Yangxing's heartbeat and endocrine were controlled and he quickly calmed down.

"Sir Luo, what happened?" Zhou Shixiong wanted to know what news made the Director of the CIA like this.

"The Jiannu walked around Jizhen soldiers and forced Sanhe, only one day away from Tongzhou." Luo Yangxing lowered his voice and threw a bomb in Zhou Shixiong's ear, scattering Zhou Shixiong's soul. "How could this happen?! What about Guanning Army? Where is the General Manager Yuan!"

"The General Yuan led the Guanning Army to Xianghe." Luo Yangxing gritted his teeth and said something. Zhou Shixiong was stunned. Xianghe was south of the Three Rivers. Where did Yuan Chonghuan go?!

"Master Zhou, let's live with the emperor, please be afraid," Luo Yangxing waited for a while and did not respond, and begged in a low voice.

"Okay, I'll meet you with the emperor." Zhou Shixiong understood what Luo Yangxing meant. He was afraid that Emperor Chongzhen would vent his anger.

The two came to the imperial study room. Emperor Chongzhen was discussing the matter of the command center with Sun Chengzong Bi Ziyan. When he heard Tu Wenfu report the two of them to see each other, he immediately summoned him. "Why are you back?" Zhou Shixiong saw Emperor Chongzhen's smile and didn't want to pour cold water on him. But how could this kind of fatal military situation be hidden from Emperor Chongzhen? He pointed to Luo Yangxing helplessly, "Emperor, the front line is urgently reported."

The expressions of Zhou Shixiong and Luo Yangxing made Emperor Chongzhen's smile disappear. He guessed that the investigation brought by Luo Yangxing was not good. "Say."

The word turned cold and scared Luo Yangxing to death. He took out his arms and raised his hands high, buried his head between his arms and did not dare to look up. "Long live, the front line urgently reported, Jiannu passed around Jizhou soldiers and forced Sanhe, and Yuan led the Guanning army to Xianghe south."

"What!" Before the emperor could react, Sun Chengzong jumped up in shock and subconsciously suspected that he had heard it wrong.

"Jiannu went west and Yuan governors went south, and Tongzhou was in crisis." Zhou Shixiong had to stand up as an explanation. Emperor Chongzhen looked at Luo Yangxing like two knives. If Luo Yangxing spoke again, he would be in danger.

"Where are Liu Ce and You Shiwei, where did the Baoding soldiers and Changping soldiers go?" Sun Chengzong remembered that there were two battalions of soldiers in Jizhou. Luo Yangxing just mentioned the Guanning army, where did these two battalions go?

"Reward, Lord Yuan ordered Lord Liu to lead Baoding troops back to defend Miyun, Lord You returned to defend Changping." Luo Yangxing hated his subordinates a little. He could not find out the news before, but this time the investigation was rich in content. The only problem was that there was no good news.

"What does Yuan Chonghuan want to do?" With a bang, Emperor Chongzhen slapped the imperial desk, his face turned pale. His words were really a bit terrifying, and no one dared to touch them.

After a while, Zhou Shixiong felt that he could not waste such time and said, "Your Majesty, now is not the time to consider this issue. Strengthening the defense of Sanhe Tongzhou is the right way. As for what Lord Yuan wants to do, let him come to explain to the emperor in person."

"Long live, the most urgent task is to stop the Jiannu army. I ask for an order to stay in Tongzhou." Sun Chengzong immediately agreed with Zhou Shixiong's suggestion and wanted to go to the front line to command in person.

"Sun Aiqing is in charge of Tongzhou, who can take on the heavy responsibility in the capital?" Emperor Chongzhen thought about it and found that no one around him could replace Sun Chengzong to rule the overall situation, so how dare he let him go to Tongzhou.

Sun Chengzong couldn't say that no one could compare with him, so he quickly looked at Bi Ziyan and asked him to recommend someone. Bi Ziyan thought for a while, "Long live, I recommend Shen Yongmao as Minister of War, and British Duke Zhang Weixian led the Beijing camp. These two people were responsible for the heavy responsibility of defending the capital back then."

Shen Yongmao is the current Right Minister of the Ministry of War. If something happened to Wang Qiao, he had the highest position in the Ministry of War, and there was no problem to be promoted to the Minister of War. Moreover, after becoming a Jinshi in the eleventh year of Wanli, he had a resumption of ranks from the Ministry of War. He was definitely not a civil servant like Wang Qia who had no knowledge of the affairs of the Ministry of War.

The recommendation of Zhang Weixian is to use his reputation. The British Duke is the first person to be named in other surnames. As long as he stands out, all the nobles dare not act randomly. Although Zhang Weixian is not a general, as long as he can suppress the nobles and military generals and cooperate with Shen Yongmao to do things.

Bi Ziyan recommended these two candidates ingeniously. Sun Chengzong understood after thinking about it for a moment, and quickly agreed, "Long live, I will discuss it." Both of his confidants said it was OK, and Emperor Chongzhen nodded without hesitation and asked Tu Wenfu to notify the Sili Supervisor to issue an order.

Next, there is another trouble to deal with. Jiannu is approaching the capital. Once the news spreads, it will inevitably cause people's hearts to rise. If a spy takes the opportunity to take a walk on the rumors, chaos in the capital will occur at any time. The Jinyiwei sent all out to inquire about military information. Who will leave the security in the capital to deal with?

Luo Yangxing would definitely not recommend Dongchang, a mortal enemy. Before Emperor Chongzhen asked for advice, he took the initiative to suggest, "Long live, the order should be issued to seal the city, and the Beijing camp will control the inside and outside the capital."

Hui'an Bo Zhang Qingzhen, the governor of the Beijing camp, would definitely not be able to fight him, and it should be no problem to be a sheriff. As for the police officers who handed them to the Ministry of Justice, it is normal, so no one wasted their saliva on this matter. The only problem was the city lockdown. The capital not only relies on external transportation for food and consumption, but the garbage and feces produced every day must be transported outside the city for treatment. Once the city is closed, the grain in Taicang cannot be moved, and Emperor Chongzhen cannot buy food even if he has money.

"Bi Qing, how many days can the grain reserve in Taicang last?" Emperor Chongzhen looked for Bi Ziyan, but Bi Ziyan didn't know who to look for. There were indeed millions of stones of grain in the warehouse, but these grains were only more than one million stones to be allocated. The rest were fixed expenses. If they were all taken out to the frontline and the people in the capital, it would be useless even if the border troops had no food to eat. The border troops would definitely rebel, and then the nine borders would be in chaos. The Ming Dynasty would be defeated without attacking.

"Long live, except for the food and wages of Jingying and Jiubian, there are less than two million stones of grain, and the capital's population is more than one million, which will last for a month at most." Bi Ziyan said honestly that he did not want to be a historical sinner.

"Sun Aiqing, can Jiannu be destroyed in one month?" Emperor Chongzhen himself felt guilty. After fighting for so many years, Jiannu became stronger and stronger. He gave Sun Chengzong a month to destroy Jiannu. This was harder than a dream to realize.

"Long live, I am incompetent!" Sun Chengzong honestly admitted that he was not a lamp god and could not satisfy Emperor Chongzhen's inefficient dream. For a moment, the imperial study room calmed down.

Zhou Shixiong couldn't help but ask very strangely, "There is not enough food in Taicang. Is there no grain in Changping Warehouse? Even if the grain in Changping Warehouse is not enough, those grain merchants have no grain?"

ps: Someone criticized me for being too wicked. I accepted it and wanted to change this deficiency. But I found out that I couldn’t write it anymore, so I had to continue wicked. It was rude! Please ask for red and ask for reunion!
