This "Jin Jue Order" has a far-reaching impact.

Perhaps Wu Zheng's original intention was just to punish as much as possible, but in fact, the impact of this "Jin Jue Order" was so great and far-reaching that Wu Zheng, and even the entire General's Mansion, and even the Jianxin Dynasty in Yingtianfu could not be predicted.

The land is not divided into north and south, and people are not divided into old and young, and meritorious service will be rewarded!

And this even includes those who have made mistakes, but also those in Jiangbei who have taken advantage of the trend and want to return, this kind of influence has spread all over the coast of East China and North China in just one and a half years, from south to north.

Of course, that's another story.

……。

Shen Wenkui is here.

With the will of the Qing court to buy guns and cannons, he and John Tang went south along the canal and arrived in Hangzhou.

Compared with the calmness of "business" during the day, then, at night, at this time, in Wu Zheng's study, Shen Wenkui fell down in front of Wu Zheng with tears in his eyes.

Wu Zheng was stunned, "Lord Shen...... Why? ”

After crying for about a pillar of incense, Shen Wenkui slowly put away his crying, and said with a numbness that saw through the world: "Does the prince know...... Chen Mingxia, dead! ”

Wu Zheng was surprised again, "Chen Mingxia? Chen Baishi? Why did you die? ”

Shen Wenkui wiped away his old tears, "You Ning finished my impeachment, and co-testified with Liu Zhengzong that Xia took power and was guilty of corruption and collusion with foreign enemies, and was impeached and killed, confiscated family property, and exiled ...... men and women. ”

Wu Zheng was shocked and said to Ma Shiying: "Pass Song An to see you." ”

Then he turned his head to support Shen Wenkui and asked, "Chen Mingxia was indeed said against this king, but in the past two years, Lone has not taken the initiative to contact him, and he has nothing important to come to Hangzhou Mansion...... Even if he was detected by the Qing court, shouldn't he be punished so heavily? ”

Shen Wenkui grieved again, "I think that after the Wuying Palace played right that day and decided to form a new army of 100,000, Chen Mingxia and Shen also had a lot of disputes over the dividends of this errand, but who would have thought that late that night, Chen's mansion was besieged and Mingxia was killed on the spot...... Once the dignified scholar was still in the book, he died in his own house without trial...... Where is the axiom? What is the reason of heaven! ”

Looking at Shen Wenkui, who was beating his chest, Wu Zheng gradually fell silent, because he suddenly understood, no, he should have realized that Chen Mingxia was suddenly punished, and maybe he really had something to do with him.

Punish someone as a warning to others.

Chen Mingxia is the chicken who doesn't know how to restrain.

But Wu Zheng will never be the monkey who was exemplified, in this world, at this time, there is no one to exemplify Wu Zheng.

The monkey that the Qing court wanted to set an example of should be Shen Wenkui and others who were sad in front of him.

At this time, Song An held a white wax pill in his hand and hurriedly followed Ma Shiying.

"What does the young master command?"

Wu Zheng glanced at Song An and asked, "Have you gotten the news that Chen Mingxia was killed?" "School bag

Song An nodded and said, "I also just received news from Jiangbei Chang Lin Wei, and I want to report to the young master." ”

"What does the news say?"

Song An glanced at Shen Wenkui.

"Speak." Wu Zheng urged lightly.

"Yes." Song An responded, "It is reported that the Qing court has decided to form a new army of 100,000 firearms, but due to insufficient military spending and an empty treasury, Prince Zheng Jierharang, Hong Chengchou, and Fan Wencheng secretly discussed and wanted to start with the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, but because they were too involved in their scruples, including themselves, they finally agreed to use a side-by-side attack to force and investigate the officials involved in the capital, confiscate the official property, and extort the goods of the merchants to supplement the military expenses...... Chen Mingxia is only the first, after Lord Shen left Beijing, eleven officials have been killed, and more than 30 people have been imprisoned ....... ”

Shen Wenkui was shocked when he heard it, "You mean, this is not the emperor's will, but the will of Ji'er Harang, Hong Chengchou, and Fan Wencheng?" ”

Wu Zheng pressed his hand, "Lord Shen, don't worry, this king believes that Chang Linwei's news will not go wrong." Since the news says so, this should be the reason...... It's right to think about it, the Qing court is naturally short of silver, but Fu Lin Wa'er has just been in power, and he has some scruples, so he naturally can't do this kind of evil act of killing chickens and taking eggs, at least not in the short term. Now the power of the government is in the hands of Jierharang, Hong Chengchou, Fan Wencheng and others...... It goes without saying! ”

"Shameless!" Shen Wenkui scolded, "We are both in the same vein as the emperor, and for a little silver, we actually killed each other...... Is there still a hint of humanity? ”

Wu Zheng understood Shen Wenkui's anger, he was actually not so angry about Chen Mingxia's killing, but because of his cold lips and teeth.

Shen Wenkui took a long breath and said, "Chen Mingxia, although he is greedy for money and has a good reputation, after all, it is true that he has the heart to join the Ming Dynasty...... was killed like this, it's a pity, with his connections in Beijing, he could have done a lot of things for the prince...... What a pity! ”

Wu Zheng suddenly changed the topic and said, "Lord Shen came to see this king tonight, I think there is something important to discuss, right?" ”

Shen Wenkui vented this, the knot in his chest was somewhat relieved, and then he said calmly: "Exactly." Before I left Beijing, Hong and Fan told me to negotiate with the prince to buy on credit, and at the same time to set an upper limit on the delivery of ore to the south by Jin merchants in exchange for the prince's compromise on the terms of buying on credit. ”

Wu Zheng's brows condensed slightly, "The canals south of Xuzhou are all under the control of this king, what restrictions can the Qing court use?" ”

This makes sense, now the territory of Jiangbei is uneven, for example, the power of the Northern Expeditionary Army has touched the Shandong border, while Xuzhou is in the hands of the Qing court, the Jianxin Dynasty has obtained Chu and Erzhou, and Fengyang Mansion is under the control of the Qing court.

In fact, such a division of forces has already explained everything, that is, a decisive battle will eventually break out suddenly one day not far away.

However, the Qing court wanted to restrict the supply of raw materials to the south by merchants from the north, and it was not feasible.

Think about it, the forces of the enemy and us are intertwined, how can the government identify and restrict the normal business behavior of northern merchants?

For example, Xuzhou, because of its proximity to Huai'an, the two sides have signed a peace treaty, and the merchants of the two forces in Xuzhou are staggered, how to distinguish whether it is a northern merchant or a southern merchant, whether it is a northern merchant or a southern merchant?

Even every inn and dock, it's all the same.

Shen Wenkui shook his head and said: "Actually, it's very simple, as long as the Qing court controls the mines and production areas, it can completely limit the amount of transportation to the south. ”

Wu Zheng's brows tightened, he understood, the Qing court was afraid that he had already thought of this trick.

Only in this way can we avoid the trouble of affecting the southern merchants due to the investigation and punishment of the northern merchants, so that the general's mansion cannot find an excuse to attack the north, after all, the Qing court is dealing with its own subjects.

Wu Zheng thought for a long time, raised his head and said to Shen Wenkui: "This king knows about this matter, Lord Shen might as well go back and rest first." ”

"Shen retired."
