"Wang Chaoen, I have an important task for you!”
"This lowly official will definitely be loyal to the emperor, even if I have to die!”
"There's no need to die ten thousand times. We just need to do our best for this mission!”
What Ye Xin handed to Wang Chaoen was none other than to go to Shanxi Zhili to cure the plague.
In the late Ming Dynasty, there were both internal and external troubles. There was naturally no need to mention the military troubles. Ye Xin had also begun to deal with the corruption of the civil and military officials in the court. Now, there was only one thing left, and that was the plague that wreaked havoc in the Ming Dynasty.
Ever since the Tianqi era, during the reign of Emperor Chongzhen's elder brother, the famous carpenter Emperor Zhu Youxiao, a large-scale plague had broken out from Shanxi to Zhili.
The consequences of this plague were very serious. It directly led to the displacement of the people and the emergence of refugees.
At that time, the people would be starving, and the soldiers would be half-dead from hunger. It was also at that time that Li Zicheng's peasant army would be able to advance triumphantly and attack Beijing.
If it wasn't for the plague, which left all the defenders half-dead along the way, would Li Zicheng's peasant army have been able to reach Beijing?
If the plague was solved, the worries in the future would be solved. This way, if he managed the country to become extremely powerful, Ye Xin would have the confidence to destroy the Qing Dynasty, kill the peasant army, and conquer the world.
"Chaoen, this time, I will give you five million taels of silver. Take this money to the disaster relief!”
When Wang Chaoen heard Ye Xin's words, he immediately knelt down in agitation.
"Many thanks, Your Majesty! It was the people's blessing that the Emperor was so concerned about the disaster victims! This lowly official will definitely die ten thousand times to repay the emperor and save the disaster victims!”
"Yes!"
Not only did Ye Xin have methods and courage, but he also sympathized with the people. With so many special traits added to Ye Xin, Wang Chaoen felt a powerful charisma of a wise ruler from him.
Wang Chaoen was completely conquered by Ye Xin's charisma. He secretly swore in his heart that this time, he would definitely follow Ye Xin well and rebuild an incomparably powerful Darming Dynasty.
Ye Xin pondered. He would first let Wang Chaoen bring money over to help treat the commoners and help him stabilize the situation. During this period of time, he would gather the imperial physicians of the Ming Dynasty and work with the system to study ways to treat the plague.
Only after Ye Xin had researched all of this would the plague be completely resolved and the people of Ming Dynasty be restored to life.
Although Wang Chaoen couldn't solve the plague, he had so much money to improve the hygiene and living conditions of the people.
"What is this?"
Ye Xin was currently focused on studying the plague, so when he heard Cao Huachun's words, he did not react for a moment.
Cao Huachun's face was as white as a sheet of paper. He looked even more shocked than when Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong.
"Your Majesty! Huang Taiji avoided the Liaodong Guanning defense line and went around Mongolia to attack the mainland. Now, he had already captured Zunhua!”
"F * ck!"
F * ck!
Huang Taiji, Qing Taizu Nurhachi's Fourth Prince, Regent Dorgon's brother, the founder of Qing Dynasty. At this moment, he had already led the most elite cavalry of this era, the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, to the city of Beijing!
Beijing City did not have many soldiers to defend it at the moment, let alone the elite cavalry of the Manchu Eight Banners. In other words, if Huang Taiji reached Beijing, Ming could die at any time!
F * ck, the capital could fall at any moment, so why should he study the plague?
At this moment, when the ministers heard that Huang Taiji had already reached Zunhua, they were all scared out of their wits. Zunhua was only 300 miles away from Beijing. With the speed of Huang Taiji, he could reach Beijing in less than a day.
The ministers were already trembling with fear from Huang Taiji. These people did not care about the Emperor at this moment. They stood there and discussed animatedly.
"I've heard that the Houjin army is a savage and bloodthirsty force. Now that they've reached the capital, what should we do?”
"Even Yuan Chonghuan's Guanning Cavalry couldn't stop the Houjin army, let alone our three battalions. It's over! Our capital definitely won't be able to stop the Houjin army!”
"In my opinion, why don't we negotiate peace with the Houjin army this time? Why don't we just give them the land of Liaodong and let them retreat!”
"Aiya, they're already in front of us. Why are you still retreating? I think we should run away quickly! After losing Beijing, he could still live a stable life in Nanjing. After all, the Later Jin Dynasty had no navy, so it was difficult to go south!”
