In fact, Emperor Chongzhen must be responsible for the defeat of this Songjin. If he is wise and martial, how can he have the opportunity to be determined by his courtiers.

But he is the emperor in the end, and there is no way to hold him accountable. Therefore, Zhang Mingwei did not say.

Of course, in fact, Emperor Chongzhen was fooled by his courtiers and had already issued several edicts. This kind of guilty edict is actually to tell the people of the world that I am guilty!

Historically, the emperor's edict will not bring good results.

At this time, hearing Emperor Chongzhen's question, Zhang Mingwei said again, "Before, I recommended to Your Majesty the people recommended by Yan Yingyuan, Haikou Gu Sanmazi, and a few ...... who were officials in Jiangyin."

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen hurriedly replied, "This matter has been approved, and the will has been issued!" ”

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he explained to several other people: "This is a preparation to invade the interior of Jianguo by sea, destroy the livelihood of Jianguo, and reduce Jianguo's ability to wage war. ”

This reason was written in the original recommended movement. Most of the people present already knew, so when they heard Xingguo Gong's explanation, they all nodded.

Subsequently, Zhang Mingwei said, "In addition, it should be planned for the water division of Zheng Zhilong in Fujian, and the agenda for rebuilding Dongjiang Town should also be put up." Only in this way can Jianyu be firmly nailed to Liaodong and make it impossible to send troops to invade the pass! ”

In terms of being a human being, Zheng Zhilong is definitely a human being, otherwise, it would be impossible to stand out from the many pirates. When he got older, he had a problem with his brain, and finally betrayed Emperor Longwu, but ended up in exile in Ningguta, which can be described as self-inflicted.

He is the king and hegemon in southern Fujian, but at the same time, he also pays attention to playing in the officialdom. So much so that Xiong Wencan, the governor of Fujian at that time, was very happy and very reluctant to leave, even if he was promoted.

In the imperial court, few people knew the strength of Zheng Zhilong's sailors, as if he was a little transparent. is also the same, in such a troubled era in history, the imperial court did not transfer his sailor to do anything at all.

At this time, when I heard what Zhang Mingwei said, sure enough, some people didn't know what happened to Zheng Zhilong, who was far away in the southeast of the Ming Dynasty, so why did they connect him with the reconstruction of Dongjiang Town?

In this regard, Zhang Mingwei briefly introduced: "The southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty is now decided by the sailors under him. At the beginning of the naval battle of Liaoluo Bay with Hongyi, he issued a reward order for the rivers and lakes, and all the ships in the southeast of the Ming Dynasty were dispatched, and finally won the joint sailor division of Hongyi and the pirate Liu Xiang. However, his sailors are actually pirates recruiting An, and if he only recognizes him, he should not be able to sell the accounts of the imperial court. Therefore, the transfer of his troops to the north must be carefully discussed. ”

After saying this, without waiting for them to ask, Zhang Mingwei said again, "In the end, it is to cut off the news and supply sources of the captives in the Guannai, and kill those traitors." At this point, even if there are no other clues, you can start with Chen Xinjia's case. Only if these points are achieved, Liaodong Jianyu will no longer have a great impact on our Ming Dynasty. ”

Hearing this, except for Emperor Chongzhen, who already knew about it in advance, everyone else was very strange. They've never heard of this news.

Min Hongxue, the secretary of the Ministry of War, couldn't help asking, "Xingguo Gong, do you mean that Chen Xinjia and Jianyu colluded?" ”

Between the words, it seems a little unbelieving.

"Will there be fewer Ming people who take refuge in Jianyu?" Zhang Mingwei listened, and after asking rhetorically, he said, "Nowadays, in the Ming officialdom, how many people recognize money and do things?" Jian Yu robbed so much money, it is impossible to hide it at home and not use it, right? In the cold land of Liaodong, why is Jianyu getting stronger and stronger, have you ever thought about it? ”

After a pause, he continued to ask, "Every time Jianyu enters the customs, it is when the imperial court officials and soldiers want to exterminate the thieves. Not to mention, those who were captured outside the customs were not known to be money and materials, but there were still a large number of people. These people all need to eat, and just by looting from the gates, how can they be able to support them to digest these populations. Therefore, there must be a source for their supplies! ”

Hearing this, Min Hongxue immediately came back to his senses, and immediately said with a serious expression, "It shouldn't be those profiteers who did it, it's not profitable to be early, as long as the money given by Jianyu is enough, maybe they can really do this!" ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh again and said, "I never thought about this." Now that Xingguo Gong said this, it is really very possible. It's just a pity, I don't know who is taking prisoners? ”

As he spoke, he stared at Zhang Mingwei and asked, "Could it be that Xingguo Gong knows what businessmen are taking prisoners?" ”

"Yes, Xingguo Gong, if you know what businessmen are arresting, you must be severely punished!" Plug Yinxi also said with hatred.

Seeing them like this, Liu Zongzhou said with a little doubt, "Guogong, you said that this is related to Chen Xinjia, is this news conclusive?" ”

Listening to them asking, Zhang Mingwei glanced at Emperor Chongzhen, and then replied to them, "The evidence is there, but it can't be taken out yet." But I've been investigating it for a long time, and the results will be available soon. ”

Arresting people without evidence, even if Emperor Chongzhen agrees, these civil officials recommended by Zhang Mingwei will not agree. Otherwise, the rich people in the world will be panicked, and the world will definitely be more chaotic.

Even if it is framed, if this is spread, it will not only whitewash the eight major Jin merchants, but also leave a bad reputation in future generations, saying that the factory guards are misbehaving, rampant and domineering, and when they see who has money, they will rob openly and secretly, which is more ferocious than extortion.

The reason why the imperial court is the imperial court is that a kind of order has been established. If there is no order, chaos in the world is inevitable. Although now the world is in chaos. But if wealthy businessmen and scholars also participated in the rebellion, it would definitely not be on the scale it is now.

There is a very famous example, the story of Shen Wansan in the early Ming Dynasty, which is widely circulated, even with the power of Zhu Yuanzhang's founding emperor, it cannot prevent the pen from portraying him as jealous of Shen Wansan's wealth.

If you don't tell the evidence to do it to the Eight Great Jin Merchants, it will be the story of the Eight Shen Wansan, which will make future generations sympathize with the Eight Great Jin Merchants. Of course, for the deliberations in the Wenhua Hall at this time, this is a digression.

However, these people present all understand this truth. Therefore, after Zuo Maodi heard Zhang Mingwei's words and knew that he was not messing around, he nodded with relief and said, "Guogong is steady, so it's the best!" ”

Zhang Mingwei didn't answer his words, turned his head to look at Emperor Chongzhen and said, "These colossal sinners, I don't know how much they have earned, slaughter them, not only can the military salary that the military department Shangshu want, but even the follow-up supplies along the Great Wall of Jizhen can be in place in time, so as to ensure the stability of the Great Wall defense line!" ”

In other words, it is the big fat sheep. This is similar to Heshen in later generations, there are prerequisites, that is, Heshen is corrupt, and the eight Jin merchants are captured, then the world will not sympathize with them, at most, they will feel rich Chongzhen.

When everyone heard this, they immediately thought of Yuan Chengguogong. It is indeed fattened by the emperor, so much money, otherwise it would be really impossible to settle the military and civilians of Liaodong and complete the strategic layout of Jianyu.

After Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately said to Zhang Mingwei, "Sir, this matter is very important, please ask Mr. to grasp this matter first!" ”

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he naturally agreed, but then asked the civil officials present, "Money can be spiritual, and you can't underestimate those who are captive." Therefore, you must keep the matter discussed in the temple secret today. ”

Today's Emperor Chongzhen is a master of learning, and these civil officials who are summoned to discuss matters are either recommended by Zhang Mingwei or are obviously inclined to Zhang Mingwei. In this way, when the deliberations are discussed, there is no such thing as fighting each other.

is also the same, Zhang Mingwei will reveal some content to them to reassure them. Otherwise, this rebellion, that rebellion, and rebellion, to clear the king's side, etc., really feel like the end of the world, and it is inevitable that you will panic.

No, Emperor Chongzhen actually knew through Zhu Yujiao that Zhang Mingwei's side had not finished the matter, and he was already in a hurry to urge him to come back.

At this time, after Zhang Mingwei revealed such a news, the atmosphere in the Wenhua Hall was obviously much better. Among them, Zuo Maodi, the secretary of the ministry, remembered something, so he said to Emperor Chongzhen, "Your Majesty, because of the dismissal of hundreds of officials by the national prince before, the ministry where Weichen is located has already collected a lot of money. ”

Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Zhang Mingwei, and said with a smile, "I heard that the threshold of the Guogong Mansion is about to be flattened by gifts, and the income must be a lot!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Mingwei couldn't help laughing and said, "It seems that my reputation for collecting money and not doing things at Shanhaiguan has not yet spread to Jingshi, and it seems that I can collect more." ”

Emperor Chongzhen on the throne also laughed when he heard this.

At the beginning, Mr. mentioned to him that now gift-giving has become a common practice, in this case, it is better to refuse them to let them bribe others with the money, it is better to accept the money and use it for the right way. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen mentioned these officials recommended by Zhang Mingwei. Otherwise, Zuo Maodi would have gone crazy and preceded this matter in front of the emperor.

Min Hongxue can confirm that this Xingguo Gong is estimated to have never been an official, and he does not take into account the rules of officialdom at all.

Of course, having said that, if it weren't for the ability of Xingguo Gong and the full trust of the emperor, if he didn't abide by the rules of officialdom, he would definitely hit his head and bleed.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen saw that it was not early, so he instructed Zhang Mingwei, "Mr. has worked hard all the way back to Beijing, go back and rest early!" ”

What to rest, this beacon is full of fire, how can there be time to rest, isn't there still a thief who has already killed Hebei? If you come to Gyeonggi to make trouble, you may even hinder the layout of the Great Wall's defense line.

So, we have to arrest someone quickly!
