Chapter 102: I Can't Spare Him

It's honest, it's all honest.

Without Liu Zeqing, the leader of the-stirring stick, the officials of the Texas Mansion obediently cooperated with Jinyiwei and accepted the isolation review of the organization.

It's just that it's all about Jinyiwei, and it has nothing to do with Chen Qiyu.

That night, Chen Qiyu parted ways with Cao Bianjiao and Ma Xianglin, and led the Yongwei Battalion to return to Beijing on a boat with some stolen money and goods.

Qianqing Palace, Winter Warm Pavilion.

Emperor Chongzhen got a report from the factory guards and already knew what was happening in the Dezhou Mansion.

"Well done, keep it secret, keep it up!"

In Dezhou, Wang Dayu, the head of one of the eight Jin merchants, was captured on the spot, and Emperor Chongzhen was very satisfied.

"Eh, Emperor!"

Lao Wang leaned over and answered, and then said the follow-up arrangement, "Texas has sent additional people to count the stolen goods, review the offending officials, and recover the stolen money."

And transferred 2,000 soldiers from Beijing to take over Texas. ”

The local troughs are obviously not to be trusted, and the transfer of troops from other places has become inevitable.

Although the soldiers of the Beijing camp are no longer able to fight, there is no problem in guarding the city and guarding the house.

Well, it's old-fashioned!

Emperor Chongzhen nodded in approval, and then instructed: "Big companion, the brocade guards escorted Wang Dayu, Liu Zeqing and other serious criminals to Zhao Prison, and handed them over to the three divisions for trial at a later date. ”

Such a thing as a traitor and traitor cannot be secretly executed in hiding. Instead, it must be handed over to an authoritative judicial organ, judged by Guan Mingzheng, and then issued a clear edict to the world.

Only in this way can we wake up the world and let traitors and traitors leave a reputation for eternity.

However, the eight major Jin merchants were not arrested, so they had to wait.

Obviously, Emperor Chongzhen made up his mind to let them go on the road neatly.

"Emperor, there is another matter, the old slave doesn't know how to deal with it, please show the emperor?"

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen mentioned Liu Zeqing, Lao Wang frowned deeply and leaned over to ask for instructions.

"Tell me about it."

Emperor Chongzhen squinted at the respectful old king and sighed in his heart.

This is the difference between Lao Wang and Wei Gonggong.

Although the king is loyal, his business ability is poor, and he reports more diligently, and the king is very tired.

And Wei's father-in-law has strong business ability, and the king is not tired, but he often makes his own decisions and needs to suppress him.

In a word, there are pros and cons.

"It is reported that Liu Zeqing and a group of officials from the Caoyun Yamen are now biting Cao Shuai Zhu Dadian, in a vain attempt to make things bigger and embarrass the emperor."

From the words "climbing", "vainly", and "embarrassed", Lao Wang's heart is still towards Zhu Dadian.

Also, the position of the governor of Caoyun is authoritative and powerful, and it is related to the lifeline of the Ming Dynasty, and non-emperor's cronies cannot serve in succession.

As a person close to Emperor Chongzhen, Lao Wang naturally understood.

However, even if there is no need to check, Zhu Dadian definitely has major economic problems.

Lao Wang didn't know what the emperor who had always been unable to rub sand in his eyes would do with Zhu Dadian.

Originally, Lao Wang still wanted to cover up one or two for Zhu Dadian, but the emperor wanted to let the third division interrogate Liu Zeqing, and the matter couldn't be hidden.

Hehe......

Seeing that Lao Wang was talking about this, Emperor Chongzhen laughed.

The era of Emperor Chongzhen was an era of mixed heroes and traitors.

Although some people are righteous and awe-inspiring on the surface, they finally choose to be traitors. Although some people are greedy for money, they can be mighty and unyielding, and they can kill themselves.

The flaws in a person's character cannot actually hide the brilliance of his humanity.

And Zhu Dadian, a famous anti-slave minister, is such a typical representative.

Zhu Dadian was a Jinshi in the 44th year of Wanli, and successively served as the governor of Shandong, the governor of Caoyun, and the secretary of the military department of the Hongguang Dynasty.

Zhu Dadian loved money, and he searched everywhere during his tenure as the governor of Caoyun, and the wealth he amassed was as rich as the country.

In this respect, he is definitely a big corrupt official.

If it was in peacetime, maybe Zhu Dadian was just an ordinary member of the corrupt officials in the late Ming Dynasty.

But the turbulent situation gave him the opportunity to make a name for himself.

In addition to his outstanding performance in corruption, his performance in military affairs and integrity is impressive.

In the third year of Chongzhen, Zhu Dadian served as the governor of Shandong, when Kong Youde, the general of Dengzhou, launched a mutiny and swept the Shandong Peninsula.

Zhu Dadian was ordered to gather 30,000 troops to take the initiative to attack Kong Youde's rebels, but was defeated, and Kong Youde then fled into Liao and took refuge in Jiannu.

With the passage of time, the situation in the Ming Dynasty deteriorated even more, and finally in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the city of Beijing was broken, and the previous Emperor Chongzhen committed suicide.

The Hongguang Dynasty of the Southern Ming Dynasty also held out for more than a year before being defeated by Jiannu, who marched along the Jiangnan region to Zhejiang.

In the second year of Longwu, Jiannu invaded Jinhua, and Zhu Dadian, who was a native of Jinhua, resolutely led the army to his hometown to protect his homeland.

Jinhua is just a small city, which is not worth mentioning compared to big cities such as Yangzhou, Nanjing, and Hangzhou. But the first few important towns were broken by Jiannu, and Jiannu thought that it was only an overnight moment to break through Jinhua.

However, the results were a big surprise.

Although Jinhua was small, Zhu Dadian arranged it properly, calling on the people of the city to go to the city to defend it, and scattered the money from corruption to strengthen the city wall and recruit warriors.

Jiannu couldn't attack for a long time, so he used high-ranking officials to appease Zhu Dadian, but he was unmoved, tore up the appeasement book, and expressed his determination to resolutely resist slaves.

Later, Jiannu transferred red-coated cannons from nearby and continuously attacked the newly built west gate with heavy artillery, and finally the city gate collapsed, and Jiannu poured into the city like a tide.

Although the Ming army and people in the city swore to resist to the death, and Jiannu started street fighting, but in the end, due to the difference in strength, Jinhua City was broken by the Qing army after holding on for more than two months.

After the destruction of Jinhua City, in order not to be insulted by Jiannu, Zhu Dadian's wives and concubines committed suicide with their children.

And Zhu Dadian and his subordinates detonated the gunpowder in the gunpowder bureau and died together with the nearby Jiannu, the scene was very heroic and awe-inspiring.

Because the loss of capturing Jinhua was too great, after which the slaves were built to slaughter the city.

This is the famous Jinhua Massacre in history.

It's the same as Jiangyin.

It can be said that throughout Zhu Dadian's life, the Ming court treated Zhu Dadian with kindness, and Zhu Dadian reported to the Ming court with loyalty.

As for corruption, it is actually not important in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen.

To evaluate historical figures, we should not look at the small sections, but also look at the general righteousness.

But even so, now that Emperor Chongzhen is in charge, this happened to happen, but he can't help but express it.

"Big companion, send someone to beat Zhu Dadian and ask him to spit out a little stolen money. Warn him to be more restrained in the future and not to be dissatisfied.

Otherwise, I won't be able to spare him! ”

What is raised high, gently lowered, and that's it.

In the face of the emperor's naked protection, Lao Wang felt that the emperor had changed too much. It's just that although he was shocked in his heart, his face was very calm.

"Eh, the old slave will let people handle it!"

"Summoning the Tiger Benwei Commander Yan Yingyuan to meet you!"

After dealing with miscellaneous matters, Emperor Chongzhen began to arrange military affairs.

It's time for the royal conquest.
