PS: Thank you for the reward of the book friend "Love Shen Nan".

Wu Zheng exhaled a long breath, and then turned to Mo Zhinian: "The casualties of this battle are more than 10,000, and a large amount of silver is urgently needed for compensation and rewards, Mo Laona...... Is there a problem? ”

Mo Zhinian hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't hide it from the general, this is really a bit difficult." To add a new guard, more than 10,000 recruits must be added, which requires at least 500,000, and if more than 10,000 casualties are compensated, at least 500,000 taels. Nowadays, the expansion of the port of Songjiang Prefecture, the urgent need to purchase raw materials for the military workshop, the training of musketeers in the military academy, and the preparation for the construction of a school in Hangzhou are all waiting for the rice to be ....... ”

Wu Zheng nodded and said, "It's really difficult for Mo Lao." In Yimo's opinion, there is a way to resolve this dilemma. ”

Mo obsessed: "Unless...... Stopping the expansion of the port or the preparation of the academy, which is the most expensive expense, can ensure the formation of new recruits and the pension of soldiers. ”

Zhang Huangyan pondered: "The suspension of the port expansion and the preparation for the construction of the school, which cost a lot of money, will not have much impact on us, I think it is feasible." ”

Zhang Guowei and others also nodded yes.

But Wu Zheng shook his head and said: "The expansion of the port is for money to make money, and the preparation for the construction of the school is for our common ideal, and it can't be stopped!" ”

There was no more discussion in this tone, and everyone fell silent.

Mo obsessed: "Then there is only one way." ”

Wu Zheng said: "Mo Lao, please speak." ”

"The general promised the court's commercial tax, and now he is preparing to ship more than 1.6 million taels in the past six months, which can be temporarily intercepted."

These words made all eyes focus on Wu Zheng's face, and everyone understood that under the current situation, once this batch of commercial taxes was intercepted, it would be equivalent to completely tearing up the face with the imperial court.

The consequences are serious and could even lead to civil war.

Everyone was waiting for Wu to make a decision.

Wu Zheng pursed his lips and thought for a while, then turned to Zhang Guowei and said, "Zhang Gong detained Liao Zhongping that day? ”

"Yes. I was also helpless at that time, Liao Zhongping was a dead brain, it was difficult to convince, if it caused a fight between the two armies, the situation would be eroded. ”

"Hmm...... Zhang Gong coped with it very well, I want to say that since Liao Zhongping has been detained, in fact, we have already torn our faces with the imperial court, and we are not bad with this layer of window paper, and if we send them silver again, wouldn't it help them beat us in turn? ”

Obedient to the sound, gongs and drums to listen to the sound, Wu Zheng's words set a tone.

So, everyone should be.

Wu Zheng said: "Since you have become a wicked person, then you will do it to the end and cut off the commercial tax...... You don't even have to pay taxes anymore. We can't be enemies, can we? ”

Everyone was expressionless, because Wu Zheng had already spit out the word "capital enemy", which showed that Wu Zheng's attitude towards the Yixing Dynasty had undergone a complete change.

Enemy!

Although everyone knows that in fact, the General's Mansion has been separated from the jurisdiction of the imperial court, but if it is really said so clearly, I can't help but feel a little embarrassed in my heart.

Wu Zheng waved his hand as if he hadn't seen everyone's expressions: "We can't always have a hot face and a cold ass, right?" Powerful ministers, rebel ministers, such titles have been worn on my head for more than three years, so you might as well do it simply and make a break! sent someone to the court, saying that there were traitors in the court, causing Zhongliang to be wronged and deposed for no reason...... I am very dissatisfied, if the emperor is unable to clean up the court, then I can lead the troops to the north to serve, Qingjun's side! ”

Everyone's faces became strange, Qingjun's side, since ancient times, Qingjun's side is so clear that it is the king himself.

Doesn't this clearly threaten the emperor?

Zhang Huang said: "This ...... That's not big, is it? Whether it is a draft or not, then consider it. ”

Wu Zheng waved his hand with great momentum and said: "It's not a dinner invitation, no matter how humble the text is, it can't get rid of the essence of rebellion, what are you afraid of...... Besides, I just scared the baby, saving me from conspiracies behind my back all day long, so that I don't have to worry. ”

Everyone laughed at it, daring not to really plan to rebel, but to scare and scare.

Zhang Guowei said in a deep voice: "Since the general has no intention of really raising troops, why bother to be too public? I think that Xuan Shu is reasonable, and it is better to use the words carefully. ”

Wu Zheng nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, then you can consider it, anyway, if you have this meaning." ”

Zhang Guowei said: "But I don't know what the general's intentions are?" In my opinion, this matter really needs to be investigated, and the fault is still on our side, after all, we detained the envoy and mobilized the Jingwei without authorization. ”

Wu Zheng glanced at Zhang Guowei strangely, "Zhang Gong, you are too sincere, haven't you heard a sentence that the wicked sue first?" ”

Everyone was in for a smile.

Wu Zheng said solemnly: "Mo Lao doesn't have any other difficulties, right?" ”

Mo obsessively responded: "With this batch of negotiated taxes, there will be no difficulties here, the general can rest assured, the pension of the soldiers and the replenishment of the silver of the recruits, the old man will arrange them one by one." ”

"Okay, then there will be Lao Mo." Wu Zheng changed his words and said, "The princes should know that the enemy chief Duoduo has been captured, and I plan to try Duoduo in Shaoxing City, and then kill him to make the people angry." What do you think? ”

This surprised everyone.

Zhang Huangyan said hurriedly: "This is not good. Duoduo is the Qing court and the prince of Shuoyu, kill him, the Qing court will not give up, if the two dynasties start a decisive battle, the consequences are unimaginable, the general should think twice! ”

Zhang Guowei also agreed: "Wu Zheng, this is not a trivial matter. We all know that General Qian sacrificed his life for the country and was sad in his heart. But if you use this to vent your anger, you really don't think about it. ”

Even Mo Zhi also objected: "General think twice, as Duoduo, we can bargain with the Qing court, the old man dare not say more, let the Qing court pay a ransom of one or two million taels, it should not be difficult, you kill, kill the silver." ”

Wu Zheng saw that everyone was against it, and sighed: "I understand the reasons that the princes said. But I want to ask, why did we come together? Just to build another court, high-ranking officials? Obviously not, what we want is to expel the Tartars and recreate the prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties. ”

"First of all, Dordor is indeed extraordinary, and the reason why he was defeated by our army was due to too many coincidences and luck, and perhaps because he underestimated the enemy. If you put him back, you may really get one or two million taels, but in the future, the losses he caused to our army are probably far more than that, right? ”

"Secondly, there is little doubt that the Qing court will retaliate. But I want to ask you, even if Duoduo is released, will the Qing court be able to coexist peacefully with us? Don't we think about the Northern Expedition anymore? Apparently not! If it's not, then why let him go? ”

"Besides, the emperor's intention to send Liao Zhongping to the south must be clear to you. Now that Liao Zhongping is detained, I am afraid that this matter will not be good, the emperor and those old ministers may be able to tolerate the Qing army's victory over the Ming army, but they cannot tolerate the courtiers' disobedience to the court, which is related to some faces that we can never really understand. Coupled with the fact that I have decided to withhold the taxes, the court must make some moves, and we cannot make any more concessions in principle, and a civil war will break out, which will cheapen the Tartars in the north. ”
