Chapter 127: Stability in Chaos

Military Aircraft Department.

"Your Majesty, the military aircraft is here. Mingfa's orders, including Mingfa's report of victory, have all been implemented."

Zhou Yanru bowed slightly, and behind him were Wang Qia, Wang Zaijin and others. Emperor Chongzhen was reading the memorials and listening to Zhou Yanru's report.

"Especially for the batch of silver rewards to reward the Shaanxi and Dongjiang armies, the Military Aircraft Department, the Shangzhi Personal Guards, and the Xiji Factory all sent personnel to rush there along with the team that read out the decree..."

Emperor Chongzhen has always been generous with rewards for tiger generals and strong troops who can and dare to fight. These are the backbone of suppressing regional rebellions.

Even if the civil servants in the court wanted to default on the reward money for various reasons to reduce the pressure on the treasury, Emperor Chongzhen would use various methods to force the civil servants in the court to submit.

However, the current situation is not very stable, and the Battle of Hancheng and the Liaonan surprise attack have special meanings.

Emperor Chongzhen no longer intends to use other people's hands to reward these tiger generals and those athletes who dare to fight.

The internal funds were directly used to distribute the reward money, and he took out more than two million taels of silver and called the director of the Xiji Factory. While distributing the reward money, he asked who gave it to him.

Loyalty is something that means being willing to spend money, having a subtle influence, and having real pay and wages. If these problems can be solved, then the soldiers at the bottom are definitely the most loyal.

The civil servants of the Ming Dynasty were very strong, and their background was also very strong. If Emperor Chongzhen wanted to get rid of their control, he had to change his methods and strengthen his actual control over the military.

Now the ad hoc Military Aircraft Department has achieved relative control over the two special regions of Shanxi, Shaanxi and Liaodong.

The battle with the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty could never be decided overnight. Emperor Chongzhen had enough patience to gradually transform and sort out the court, and then control more power.

"In the fight against rebellion in Shaanxi and Liaodong, there are good ministers and generals who are loyal to me, so I am not very worried anymore." Emperor Chongzhen closed the memorial, glanced at the people in front of him, and said.

"The battle of Hancheng and the surprise attack in southern Liaoning. The success of these two battles proved that many of the strategies previously adopted by the DPRK towards the above-mentioned places had loopholes.

What your military aircraft need to do here is to strengthen contact with the front line and effectively resolve the supply of food and wages, the allocation of various military supplies and equipment, etc.

If the Eight Banners of Jianlu, including the bandit forces that were raging in the area, could be suppressed as early as possible, the burden and pressure on the Ming Dynasty would be reduced accordingly."

Wang Qia, Zhou Yanru, Wang Zaijin, several military ministers, and Jin Xuan, the counselors who stayed in Beijing, all showed different expressions.

Judging from the results achieved so far, the specially set up military aircraft department to take charge of counterinsurgency affairs in the Ming Dynasty has indeed achieved remarkable results.

Especially in the Battle of Hancheng and the victory of the Liaonan surprise attack, taking advantage of the relatively chaotic situation of the country and the DPRK, it was presented to Beijing from the counter-rebellion front line, causing many ministers who criticized it to shut up.

"Let's talk about the suppression of civil unrest in Shanxi."

Emperor Chongzhen looked seriously, stared at Wang Qia and the others, and his tone became cold and stern: "Because of the corruption of Shanxi officialdom, this uncontrolled civil unrest has affected the stability of the Ming Dynasty.

Now that Shaanxi is suppressing the rebellion, the stability of the capital is greatly affected, and even the resettlement of disaster victims has been greatly affected. Your military aircraft are here and will report to me one by one the situation under control.

Previously, within the dynasty, there was a group of hidden treacherous ministers and traitors who secretly wanted to shake the foundation of the Ming Dynasty and betray their masters for glory.

As a result, I have no extra thoughts to care about the suppression of civil unrest in Shanxi."

Wang Qia, Zhou Yanru, and Wang Zaijin glanced at each other. Wang Qia, who was on duty, stepped forward, bowed to Emperor Chongzhen, and then made a report.

The Ming Dynasty at this stage is like a semi-resurrected volcano. Maybe it will erupt today, maybe tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, or it may last for a long time.

In this environment, Emperor Chongzhen must be able to grasp the overall situation, skillfully avoid these threats that harm him, and try to fill up this half-revived volcano.

Hidden dangers and thunders gradually formed from the party struggles in the Wanli Dynasty, and were fermented and fueled by the Taichang and Tianqi dynasties, and the consequences were all borne by Emperor Chongzhen.

"Nowadays, the civil unrest in the counties of Datong Prefecture has gradually stabilized under the leadership of Zhao Lijiao, the chief military officer of Datong Town, and Hou Shilu, the chief military officer of Xuanfu Town.

During this period, Wu Xiang Youwei, led by Kong Youde, launched batches of operations to clear out the bandits and bandit forces that had sprung up in Datong, and the results were also very impressive..."

Listening to what Wang Qia reported, Emperor Chongzhen's thoughts became filled with emotion.

If we had not exposed the corruption in Shanxi's officialdom, then perhaps this civil unrest would not have happened in Shanxi, and it would not have had a negative impact on the Ming Dynasty.

But if this is the case, once the rogue forces in Shaanxi break through the layers of defense built by Yang He, the governor of Shaanxi, Hong Chengchou, the governor of Yansui, Chen Qiyu, the governor of Yansui, and Zhou Yuji, the leader of the Yongwei camp, and invade Shanxi in a massive way, it will explode.

There will only be more thunder.

In order to avoid this situation from happening, and at the same time to reduce the pressure on Shaanxi, Emperor Chongzhen increased the pressure on Shanxi.

The imperial team led by Li Banghua is mainly responsible for eradicating corruption.

The military aircraft department is assigned to suppress the front finger and the main force is to seize the sudden attack.

And during this period, Emperor Chongzhen also issued a secret edict to Mao Chenglu, Kong Youde and others, telling them to do other things while they were responsible for suppressing the situation.

Currently, a relatively special pattern has formed in Shanxi.

Investigate corrupt officials. Investigate corrupt officials.

Suppress civil unrest. Suppress civil unrest.

Grooming place for grooming place.

Eradicate the bandits. Eradicate the bandits.

If the handling of Shanxi this time can be properly resolved, not to mention that Shanxi's atmosphere will be completely rectified, at least it will be relatively improved.

"The frontline soldiers fought bloody battles in Shanxi for the stability of the Ming Dynasty. Your military aircraft here must keep a tightrope at all times."

After listening to what Wang Qia said, Emperor Chongzhen said with firm eyes: "The amount of food and salary allocated, including all kinds of military supplies, must not be less than half a cent.

What Shanxi is doing now is to track down corrupt officials and deal with the problems caused by these worms.

If anyone dares to raise his hand in this matter again, including those from the Ministry of War, Ministry of Household Affairs, etc., once found out, I will never forgive him lightly!"

The civil servants of the Ming Dynasty held too much power, and Emperor Chongzhen wanted to use the chaos created to strip away their authority step by step.

The opposite of the opposite.

The checks and balances.

The decentralization of powers.
