Chapter 161: Success (First Update, Asking for a Monthly Pass)

However, in just a few months, Nanjing, as the southern capital of the Ming Dynasty, has lost the slightest Tartar atmosphere. The people were missing the horse coats that the Qing Lu had forced to change with knives, even if the hair that had been shaved and only left money rat tail only grew a few inches, but the people still happily wore a net scarf - this is the "unified mountains and rivers scarf" named by Emperor Gao, and it is precisely because of its special meaning that the Qing Lu will strictly prohibit the net scarf.

At this time in Nanjing, both the people, the industrialists and men all wore this "unified mountains and rivers scarf", and the metaphor during it was naturally self-evident, and in the hearts of each of them, they all had their expectations for "unified mountains and rivers".

This is still the case for ordinary people, and those in high positions are no exception.

"Bang!"

A bang sounded in the back house of the Shizi Mansion, and the Shizi Mansion in Nanjing City was naturally the residence of Zheng Jing, the prince of Yanping. Zheng Jing, who just turned 18 this year, left the palace a month ago by Zheng Chenggong to open another prince's mansion and set up a shogunate at the same time.

Although the shogunate has just been established, there are also heroes in the curtain of Zheng Jing, not only young talents from all over the south of the Yangtze River, but also the children of royal officials, and Feng Xifan is one of them, and as his bodyguard, he has won his trust.

"This self-generated fire gun is Jiangbei's spontaneous fire gun?"

After firing a few shots in succession, he raised the spontaneous fire gun in his hand again, Zheng Jing looked at Feng Xifan with interest and asked.

"Now the loyal and righteous army in Jiangbei is using this kind of spontaneous fire?"

Although Zheng Jing, as the prince of Yanping, did not have much affection for Zhu Mingzhong, it did not prevent him from being interested in Jiangbei's weapons. After all, the sharpness of this Jiangbei weapon is already known to everyone.

If there is an ordnance officer in the Loyal and Righteous Army here, he will definitely be able to recognize that the spontaneous firearm in Zheng Jing's hand is the three-money spontaneous firearm in the Loyal and Righteous Army, and now the Loyal and Righteous Army uses the 6-money firearm as the standard firearm, and the three-money spontaneous firearm that is reformed with the three-money bird gun is mainly used for training, after all, compared with the former, its projectiles and gunpowder have been reduced by fifty, and the training cost has naturally dropped by half.

In addition to training, most of the garrison troops in the cities of Jiangbei also use this weapon, in fact, this is the characteristics of the loyal army, although it is also a loyal army, but the local garrison has been serving as a second-line force and supplementary troops in the sequence of the loyal army, as for the field troops are concentrated in the north, and because of this, Zheng Jing got the three-money spontaneous firearm, not the six-money spontaneous firearm that is replacing the five-money gun and the three-money gun.

"Hui Shizi, now at least half of the Jiangbei Loyal and Righteous Army has switched to using firearms! This spontaneous firearm is the only one used by Jiangbei! ”

When Feng Xifan answered Shizi's question, he changed the conversation again.

"My subordinates also heard that the reason why Zhu Mingzhong was able to defeat Dasu last year was because of this spontaneous firecracker, and his spontaneous firecracker was all restructured with three-money bird guns, if our army can also change the three-money bird guns to spontaneous guns, in this way, when he is in battle, he can break the enemy's formation with sharp weapons!"

"The military weapon used last year has not been dedicated to his father until now, and the world says that he Zhu Ming is loyal to the Ming Dynasty is full of courage, in my opinion, his so-called loyalty is just a fame and reputation, otherwise, how can there be these selfish intentions on his father's side!"

Zheng Jing let out a sneer and said.

"His selfishness is not only to hide such military weapons, and all the salt taxes of the two Huai are intercepted for him, and this Jiangbei is even more like his private property, how can there be such a person as he hides his private affairs under the command of his father?"

For a long time, Zheng Jing has never had any good impression of Zhu Mingzhong, who is fighting in Jiangbei, and even in his eyes, Zhu Mingzhong is simply a wolf with ambition, and the so-called "loyalty" is just a banner.

"The traitor seems to be loyal, but the man is just a loyal face!"

Shizi's words made Feng Xifan's heart sneer slightly, he could understand why Shizi was dissatisfied with Zhu Mingzhong, and the reason couldn't be simpler - since the Northern Expedition, although he Zhu Chengren seems to be from the command of the general, but since the day he captured Nanjing, he has continuously taken away the honor belonging to the general, so that the world only knows Zhu Mingzhong, but does not know the general. Maybe the general can accept all this, but the prince has long been dissatisfied with this.

"And the silver dollar, since ancient times, without the permission of the imperial court, how can there be a place to mint coins, he is actually good at minting silver dollars! And do not levy the name and do not levy the fire consumption, in this way, the north of the river does not collect the fire consumption, but the south of the Yangtze River still collects the fire consumption, isn't it just falling into the disadvantage of the father, the father actually turned a blind eye to it, it is really ......"

When mentioning silver coins, Zheng Jing's face was angry, after he left the mansion to open, the first thing he wrote was that Jiangbei was good at minting silver coins, but who would have thought that this matter would not be resolved in the end - according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, the silver two books were privately minted by the firm, and Jiangbei just changed the silver ingots to silver coins, so it did not violate the law of the Ming Dynasty, after all, Jiangbei did not mint money. But everyone knows that the silver coins in Jiangbei are completely different from the silver taels minted by the people, but are equivalent to making money.

"Actually, the prince also takes care of the overall situation!"

Feng Xifan saw the indignation on Shizi's face, so he said.

"If it weren't for the fact that the prince was in the Ming Dynasty and shouldered the heavy responsibility of guarding Jiangbei, how could he have allowed him to come!"

The "Hu Lai" in Feng Xifan's mouth can be said to be just right, which just reconciles Zheng Jing's dissatisfaction.

"Although my father can't talk about being lenient with others, he is too lenient with Zhu Mingzhong!"

Shaking his head and sighing, Zheng Jing said again.

"Success Chengren, now people only know him Zhu Chengren, and how do you know that if there is no father, how can there be today's Zhongxing of the Ming Dynasty! If my father is so lenient with him, I am afraid that he will ......"

His brows were tightly locked, Zheng Jing's eyes were filled with worries that did not match his age, and his expression became more and more solemn when he looked into the distance.

Zhu Mingzhong, Zhu Mingzhong......

He has never considered whether this person is loyal or traitorous, in fact, this is meaningless at all, just like Zhang Huangyan, although he Zhu Mingzhong is from his father's command, but he is by no means his father's cronies, this is the most important thing!

"Shizi, my subordinates have heard of something!"

Seeing that Shizi was interested, Feng Xifan continued.

"My subordinates heard that Zhu Mingzhong wrote to the prince in the name of the Jianghuai Economic Strategy Office, saying that he wanted to liquidate the Shiqing puppet officials, so as to make the canonical punishment clear, so that the people of the world no longer dare to serve for the Qing prisoners, and dare not be traitors again!"

When mentioning this, Feng Xifan's face was full of joy, and in his opinion, this was simply self-defeating.

"Oh!"

Feng Xifan's words made Zheng Jing's brows jump suddenly, and then looked at him and asked urgently.

"Really?"

"Hui Shizi, if it's good, now the prince and they must be discussing this matter!"

"Good!"

When Zheng Jing heard this, he immediately spit out a word.

"If his surname is Zhu, if he really proposes this proposal, the palace will definitely support him at that time, how can we oppose such a good thing!"

Not to mention that Zheng Jing will not object, even among the officials of the palace, there is also no one to oppose it, in the eyes of everyone, this is a good thing - a good thing that is beneficial to the prince and harmless!

"General, from the point of view of the following officials, this proposal is very good, very good, not only confiscating the property of the puppet officials, which can be used to enrich military supplies, but also can deter the small ones, so that they will no longer dare to serve the Manchus as unscrupulously as in the past, and help the abuse!"

Raid the house!

That's a good thing!

Especially for those Fuzhong officials who were born in Fujian Province, they don't have much to do with Jiangnan Shilin, and it can even be said that Jiangnan Shilin looks down on them.

Not only will they not object, but some of them think it is a good thing, although on the surface they can solve the military needs of more than 200,000 troops, but what they think is another thing - Zhu Mingzhong, as the proposer, will definitely be infamous!

For Nanjing, this is a good thing!

"Not only can it solve the military needs, in this way, as Chengren said, without a single soldier, it can disintegrate the Qing Dynasty in the northern provinces of the rule, the south of Zhili, Jiangxi and Zhejiang are the important places of culture and education, there are more than 10,000 officials, they are either in Beijing, or in the locality, with this trick, you can make their hearts panic all day long, the filial piety, must abandon the official and return to the hometown, and the one who remains is the hardcore traitor who is disloyal and unfilial, such a hardcore traitor, even if he has no property, what does it matter if he loses his family?"

Even Wang Zhongxiao faced the benefits brought by this matter, and he couldn't find a reason to refuse for a while, he knew very well that this matter was beneficial to the prince. Since the capture of Nanjing, the prestige of the prince has been suppressed by Jiangbei, and because of this, and most of the hearts of the people of Jiangnan Shilin are used by Zhang Huangyan, Zhu Mingzhong's suggestion is not only not harmful to the prince, but is beneficial to the prince, so how can Wang Zhongxiao refuse.

"This is a proposal! I'm afraid that the hearts of the people in the world will be in chaos! ”

Compared with the approval of Wang Zhongxiao and others, Zheng Chenggong looked at the official letter again, this official letter was Zhu Mingzhong's petition, when he received this official letter, he even wondered if he was wrong, after all, anyone who is a little rational knows that Zhu Mingzhong, as the person who put forward this proposal, not only is it impossible to obtain the slightest benefit, but may even be spurned by Shilin from now on!

It may even lose the hearts of the people!

What is popular support?

After all, for the people who may never leave the village for the rest of their lives, they believe in the words of those who read, and the reason why this person's heart is in Daming is precisely because the heart of the reader is in Daming.

And now, Zhu Mingzhong's move, although he is suspected of inviting the elderly, has offended another group of people - tens of thousands of scholars who went to the Manchu Qing Dynasty and went to the Manchu Qing Dynasty for scientific research.

"Abolish his fame, order him to return the money and food accumulated after taking the merit and fame of the Qing Dynasty, plus the family of the exile Shiqing official, no family property, and become a benevolent ......"

With a slight frown, Zheng Chenggong said with doubts.

"Why the hell is this trick?"
