Chapter 82: Entering the customs and snatching
What are you kidding, who dares to speak, and if you say the wrong thing, you will be beheaded, although the emperor is not a faint king, he has a bit of a tyrant tendency.
What worries Shi Kefa the most is not death, but letting their women go to work in Yichun Building, no one can accept this.
The ministers trembled and replied in unison:
"The emperor is sage, and the ministers have no different opinions, and the cabinet will resolutely implement and implement the emperor's will in the future."
Zhu Youzhen suddenly smiled:
"Let's all be even, Daming wants to be so united, what kind of system will be fought all day long, and I won't look at the time, the cabinet will go back to review my appointment.
The positions that need officials should be filled by you, and when employing people, you must clearly see their character and ability.
For some inconsequential positions, there is no need to increase the expenses of the Ming Dynasty, so I will stop here today and retire from the dynasty. ”
"Wechen obeys"
After the emperor finished speaking, Shi Kefa and others were secretly frightened again, most of the officials in Nanjing will be unemployed from today, and the court will not support idlers.
Zhu Youzhen got up and left the Taihe Palace, and the green dragon Cao Zhengchun followed closely behind him, and they still had something to report to the emperor alone.
Whether it is Jinyiwei or the East Factory and the West Factory, they are the eagle dogs of the imperial court.
That is, now intelligence organizations, some things are not reported in public.
Back in the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youzhen went directly to the imperial study, and Ah Qing immediately made him a cup of tea:
"Your Majesty, if you talk so much, you must be thirsty, drink two sips and then talk about it."
"Well, it's still A-Qing who is the most well-behaved."
"Thank you for your praise."
Seeing that the emperor and Ah Qing had something to do, Qinglong and Cao Huachun both lowered their heads and didn't dare to raise their eyelids.
After drinking two sips of tea, Zhu Youzhen asked:
"How did the Eight Great Emperor Merchants deal with it, and did they find anything else?"
Qinglong hurriedly bowed and replied:
"Back to the emperor, the eight imperial merchants and their related suppliers, as well as some collaborators, were all wiped out in one pot this time, and a total of more than 80 million taels of silver and 30,000 gold were collected......
Xiuchun Building, the most profitable leisure and entertainment place in Zhangjiakou, was also confiscated by humble positions, and it is said that it can earn millions of taels of silver a year, and this. ”
Qinglong said, and handed Zhu Youzhen a note.
It was searched from Kong Fugui's body, and Qinglong didn't dare to look at it.
"Xiuchun Building? It's a good place, Zhangjiakou is a gathering place for Jin businessmen, this business should be profitable, and a manager will be transferred from Xiuchun Building to Yichun Building to work in the future.
I want to operate Yichun Lou more than Xiuchun Lou, and open one in every big city in the future.
After the Ming Dynasty cleaned up the Eastern Captivity, all the beauties on the grassland were arranged to work in Yichun Building.
This not only solves their employment problem, but also allows them to be self-reliant, and also increases their income for the imperial court, which is really a good way, haha......"
Seeing that the emperor was suddenly in a good mood, Qinglong hurriedly said:
"Emperor Shengming, remember the humble position, this matter does not need to be handled by the cabinet, Jinyi Wei will handle it."
Cao Huachun hugged his fist at Qinglong and smiled:
"Commander, the benefits can't all be taken by your Jinyi guards, it's good that our family will also send you some security guards."
Everyone wants to do things with oil and water, and Cao Huachun also has thousands of factory guards to support.
So he wanted to take the opportunity to find Qinglong to ask for benefits, but Qinglong did not answer directly, but looked at Zhu Youzhen.
"This ...... It depends on what the emperor means, I can't be a family. ”
Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly:
"Although you can rest assured, there are many places to do things in the future, and the Royal Chamber of Commerce needs a lot of security, but you can't hurt the innocent by doing anything wrong."
Zhu Youzhen opened the note as he spoke, his face changed slightly at that time, and then handed the note to Qinglong and Cao Huachun:
"Look at it, there is really a problem, Cao Huachun, you immediately send someone to secretly investigate the Kong family, before the matter is clear, don't reveal the rumors, they are also hands and eyes!"
"Obedience"
……
Outside the gate was a bloody storm, and the supply lines were cut off, much to Dorgon's annoyance.
I wanted the Eight Banners to send troops to the Central Plains, but there were problems with the supply of grain and grass.
So Dolgon ordered to rob all the grain, cattle and sheep finances of the Han people in Liaodong.
If there are resistors, kill them and make them into rations.
For a time, the entire Han families in Guanwai and Liaodong were washed in blood, and many people were made into military rations.
And the inlaid white flag led by Prince Yu Duoduo has been sent to Shanhaiguan.
The city of Shanhaiguan is high and thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the eastern cavalry is not good at siege warfare.
When the Eastern Invasion sent troops, Dolgon originally wanted Duoduo to make a detour to Shanhaiguan, but Wu Sangui was persuaded to surrender.
After Prince Yu Duoduo arrived at Shanhaiguan with a white flag, Wu Sangui opened the gate of Shanhaiguan.
This time is more than 20 days earlier than the time when Wu Sangui opened the gate of Shanhaiguan and let the eastern captives enter the customs in history.
Zhu Youzhen did not move Wu and Chen Yuanyuan, and Wu Sangui still took refuge in the Eastern Captivity.
What bullshit is angry at the crown is all nonsense.
It can only be said that Wu Sangui is a standard soft bone, and he has reached the point of having no bottom line.
He would not have considered the consequences of opening Shanhaiguan at all, as a border guard.
Doesn't he know the suffering brought to the people of the Han family?
After the Eastern Cavalry entered the customs, in order to raise grain and grass, they began to burn, kill, loot and abuse near Shanhaiguan.
Inside Shanhaiguan
The captives, led by the rebels of Guanning, had entered a small village.
The people of the village were unprepared for the comparison, and they were all the same as usual, who would have thought that the nightmare was about to come.
So many times of invasion from the east, because of the existence of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, those beasts have never been here.
Suddenly, there was the sound of horses' hooves, and then the ground began to shake.
Then a pair of cavalrymen of more than fifty people appeared in front of the villagers.
Judging from the way they dressed, at least half of them were also captured by the Eastern Cavalry.
How did the captives come to our village, they had never seen them grow so big.
Looking at their menacing appearance, there must be nothing good about it, and someone began to loudly remind the villagers to take shelter.
"Everyone hurry up and hide, the Eastern Cavalry is coming, the girl's family must not go out."
"Click"
A kind-hearted old man desperately shouted for everyone to dodge, but as soon as he shouted twice, a war horse came to his side.
A cold light flashed in the hands of the Eastern Cavalry, and the old man was slashed to death.
"Run, I've killed people in the village."
Many people saw the Eastern Raiders slashing and killing the old man, and they all began to shout for everyone to flee and hide.
The village was suddenly in chaos, and as the Eastern Cavalry began to loot, it could be said that chickens flew and dogs jumped.
I saw a girl struggling desperately, still being picked up on a war horse by the Eastern Troopers.
A young man picked up a stick and pounced on it, trying to snatch the girl back.
"Brutes, labor and management are fighting with you."
"Our master is also you, a mountain villager, can you offend? Die! ”
But as soon as the wooden stick in his hand was raised, he was slashed and killed by a Guanning rebel who rushed quickly.
