Chapter 465: Twenty Thousand Taels of Silver
The word democracy is related to the oil in the future generations.
But in the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen said that I am democracy, but there is no problem at all - the lord of the people is for democracy.
As for oil?
Don't be stupid, that's the barbarians playing, Guan Daming's? What is the matter?
Just like the current situation, no matter how fucked up King Xiang Zhu Yizhong is, it is also from the Yan Wang line, and he also belongs to the descendants of Emperor Renzong Zhu Gaochi.
But now that Zhu Yizhong is done with the calf, he didn't wait for Emperor Chongzhen to call his grandfather, he knelt first, and he knelt very thoroughly, directly choosing one of the three options of white silk dagger crane top red.
Of course, this is not a single-choice question, if you feel that the single-choice is not enjoyable, Zhu Yizhong can choose more, such as drinking Heding Red first, then hanging it on the white silk, and then stabbing his heart.
As a vassal king, you have this qualification to choose more than once.
Zhu Yizhong used his own life to remind the other vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty - Emperor Chongzhen is a dog-faced, and he will turn it over, he may still be giggling one second, and the next second may make you very cold.
As for his image in the hearts of the vassal kings, Emperor Chongzhen said that it doesn't matter, I don't die for a day, I am a democracy for a day, and you are a courtier.
If you want to take some advantage, no problem, let alone you, even if the people of the Ming Dynasty take advantage of it, what does it matter, as long as it doesn't destroy the country, I don't bother to care.
But for people like you, it's not called taking advantage, it's called deathโI only got 55 million taels of silver from those vassal kings, so why do you open your mouth and ask me for tens of millions of taels?
You're so awesome, does Zhu Zaiyao know? You're so awesome, why don't you go to heaven?
Still waiting for me to send you to heaven? Hemp sells lots!
The emperors of the Ming Dynasty are wonderful, even if they are busy, they are busy leading troops to fight, alchemy, cultivating immortals, and playing carpenter's work, and these feudal kings who were encircled as pigs are also so weird, so it's very fucked.
Who gave you the confidence to drag Cooljack cocks so wildly?
As soon as the other vassal kings saw that Zhu Yizhong was so simply colded by Emperor Chongzhen, the crime was actually profligate and privately raising guests, and the other vassal kings also opened their hearts.
There is something wrong with this script, or rather, these guys can be regarded as touching a little bit of Emperor Chongzhen's temperament.
Zhu Yujian led the soldiers to King Qin, but there was no edict from King Qin, that is to say, this guy was privately transferred to King Qin, theoretically it should be a white silk dagger and a crane top red to serve, and the lightest should be confined to death.
But in fact, this goods are not still flying waves, not to mention the large territory on Xinming Island, just the coal and the big animal meat that His Majesty called a kangaroo can be said to be a daily gold.
Sure, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but the fact that a damn guy didn't die and took off in waves speaks for itself.
And Zhu Yizhong, who has always behaved more well, is that he likes to wave a little too much, and he actually said that it was cold.
The rest of the Ming vassal kings felt that this world was really terrifying, which was a bit different from Emperor Taizu Gao's promise that future generations would enjoy wealth and prosperity.
Forget it, you can't afford to provoke it, you can always hide, as for the things that the dog emperor in the capital wants, you can see through Zhu Yujian's bastard things, it is nothing more than land and silver.
Of course, there are also those vassal kings who go far away, go to other places to harm the indigenous barbarians or something, just don't harm the people of the Ming Dynasty.
Since the Dog Emperor likes these Daodaos, then give him all he wants, isn't it just land, and after being replaced overseas, it must be bigger than now, right? After all, there are Zhu Yujian's bastards in front of him as an example.
He still likes silver, doesn't he? Give it to him too.
Isn't it just silver, as long as you keep enough money to go overseas to build a country, give him the rest, and then double it back after arriving overseas.
It's just not in Daming, it's so scary.
However, when a large number of the remaining vassal kings said that they also planned to donate silver and land to mix up a fief for replacement, Emperor Chongzhen decisively refused.
The Mughal Empire seemed to be very big in the impression of Emperor Chongzhen, but it was not so big as Xinming Island.
In fact, if you look at the map, the broken place of the Mughal Empire can't fit too many vassal kings, otherwise all the vassal kingdoms that should be the size of elephants will have to become small countries like donkeys.
This is absolutely not possible, the world is so hot, you all have to go and see it.
Then Emperor Chongzhen sent some of the dead eunuchs in the palace out and told the vassal kings who had not yet been replaced by fiefdoms, don't worry, rest, rest for a while.
After the Mughal is solved, and then the others are solved, everyone has a share, and they can get a good piece of land to be a real prince.
Of course, this order is a bit particular, who comes first and who comes second, it depends on who is more loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and who loves Daming more.
As for this standard of loyalty to the emperor and love for the Ming Dynasty, it is naturally determined by the emperor and his old man Shengming.
Of course, the emperor and his old man are every day, and there are so many natural and man-made disasters in the Ming Dynasty, and there are still Jiannu in Liaodong to worry about the emperor, you say, does the emperor have time to stare at which of you is more loyal and patriotic every day?
Since there is no time, then you can only choose a simpler and rude way, who has made a greater contribution to the Ming Dynasty, who is more loyal and patriotic, this is fine, right?
How to contribute?
This is simple, you see, there are a lot of natural and man-made disasters in various parts of the Ming Dynasty now, and the emperor worries every day about getting some silver to buy food......
Then almost everyone secretly scolded the dog emperor in their hearts, and the big guys said that as a clan, they should serve Daming, and everyone can be better when Daming is good.
Therefore, if anyone dares to stop this king from donating silver, he will not be able to get along with this king! Even if the princess dares to stop her, she has to beat her!
Then, these strange creatures sent by Emperor Chongzhen who were called dead eunuchs by various vassal kings and county kings returned to Beijing with different amounts of silver.
Of course, the princes of the Ming Dynasty, some of them have existed since the opening of the country, and these guys have been passed on for more than 200 years, in short, it is just a word, not bad money.
Five million taels or ten million taels made no difference at all for these vassal kings.
In order to move overseas as soon as possible, these princes who were eager to get all the silver in the world back to fill in the grave had a rare generosity, and 10 million taels or 5 million taels abounded.
But there are still some county kings who were later divided, such as the sons of Emperor Chongzhen's grandfather, the time of the division is not too long, and there are not many in their hands, so naturally there are less.
These guys know that they don't have much silver in their hands, and it is unlikely that they want to get it and move it early, but in order to spend money to buy peace, no matter how painful it is, there will always be one million taels or five hundred thousand taels.
Therefore, the silver that these dead eunuchs brought back to the capital was added together, and there were 20,000 taels of silver.
There is a saying in later generations, it is called wine to strengthen people's courage, but in fact, the courage to grow up by alcohol is useless, just like Emperor Chongzhen and Emperor Taichang, relying on the power of drugs to play with girls, and in the end did not kill themselves?
However, the saying that money is a hero's courage is correct, after all, what can be solved by money is not a matter at all.
Just like now, with 20,000 taels of silver in his hand, especially after the 20,000 taels were specified to be dedicated to Emperor Chongzhen's treasury instead of the treasury, Emperor Chongzhen felt that his confidence was simply unprecedented.
What is a million army, if it weren't for the fear that he would have to finish playing after drawing the strength of the Ming Dynasty at one time, Emperor Chongzhen would be able to arm an army of tens of millions.
Then take these tens of millions of horses to kill the Jiannu and the Mughal Empire or something, and by the way, hit the end of heaven and earth, the end of the ocean, and soak in urine wherever a flag can be planted and then plant a flag, indicating that this is the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Emperor Chongzhen, who had enough silver in his hand, told the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies that this time he would go to the Mughal Empire, first arm all the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty to the teeth, and make any knives, firearms, and artillery, all of which are made vigorously, without saving money, and strive for the million-strong army this time to directly kill the Mughal Empire.
As for the previous plan to use 600,000 troops with 400,000 people and then claim to be a million army, it is directly a real million army, and the people will use as much as they want.
I'm rich and willful!
Besides, there are more people in the Ming Dynasty who want to make military merits now, when the people don't have to go to the front line, just follow the back of the army and have military merits to fish, and there is silver to take, this kind of good thing, those guys who have pink eye will go crazy without mobilization.
There is also Hong Chengchou, the railway can be repaired to me, and I will strive for a train to pass through every state, and I have to get out of the three horizontal and three vertical at the most secondary, and the Ming Dynasty will not be as stable as a dog by then?
Then Hong Chengchou, who already had a headache and wanted to get his hair, told Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers are unwilling to build the railway, and it's not that the people are slacking, but that the white slaves and Kunlun slaves are not enough!" โ
Emperor Chongzhen took a look, and something was wrong.
Let's not mention those white slaves Kunlun slaves, there are a lot of Jiannu things alone, right? After all, Xia Ezhe and Brother Xiangmapao, the old Qin people, and those guys are basically advancing and retreating together, sweeping in Nuergandusi every day, and they are all about to develop into a three-light policy.
I believe that it won't be long before these guys will have to go deeper into the north of Nuergandusi, and they may even have to cross Nuergandusi to catch Maozi and come back to be Maonu.
After all, these guys are now addicted to catching people - if it weren't for the fact that they couldn't scare Jiannu, these bastards would have already started on places like Fushun Jianzhou.
With such a force, there is almost no one left to breathe in the southern part of Nuergandusi, and the rest have all run, either to the territory controlled by Jiannu, or to run in a direction further north.
How could it be that Jiannu was not enough in this case?
Hong Chengchou partially agreed with Emperor Chongzhen's statement, after all, these guys were very strong in catching slaves, and there were always Jiannu and Tatar slaves sent over.
But the problem is that the terrain of Daming is too fucked, and God doesn't seem to be giving face, there are always earthquakes here and drought and waterlogging there, and there are many difficulties encountered in the construction of this railway.
It's okay to say that some of the usual difficulties are encountered, but some fucked problems can only be filled with human lives - for example, when a mountain is opened, a collapse is thrown hundreds of lives into it.
Not to mention other questions, such as what to do with the railway that has now been built along the Yellow River? Bridge repair or north-south transshipment?
Of course, this choice makes fools choose to know that it is more convenient to repair the bridge directly, but how to repair it? Who's going to fix it?
The first attempt, more than 200 Jiannu were folded in, the second time it was folded into more than 300, and the third time it was simply more than 500.
According to such a way of death, how many Jiannu are not enough for him to die, right?
Moreover, the speed of railway construction is very fast, not only from the Jingshi to the direction of Nanzhili, but by the direction of Nanzhili and Jingshi together, find a place in the middle and then converge, and connect the two sections of rails together.
In this way, there will be more dead Jiannu white slaves Kunlun slaves.
Then Emperor Chongzhen found that he didn't have any good way.
The Qin Dynasty was awesome enough, built a straight road, built the Great Wall, repaired the Afang Palace, and in addition to the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, it also made terracotta warriors, and then it was cold.
Not to mention the Great Sui Unlimited Liability Group Company, His Majesty Yang Er, the first loser in history, built a Grand Canal and repeatedly conquered Goguryeo, basically losing all the money saved by His Majesty Yang Jian.
Then he himself was cold on the canal, and he never got up again.
No matter how stupid Emperor Chongzhen is, he also knows that for the current Ming Dynasty, building a railway, and repairing several of them, is simply to fill in with human lives.
In order to keep himself from cool, Emperor Chongzhen chose to fill in the lives of foreign people, what should I do if the lives of foreign people are not enough to fill in now?
Do you want to fill in the people of the Ming Dynasty?
Then what the hell Lao Tzu used the silver all over the world to buy white slaves, build slaves, and Kunlun slaves? Nothing to do?
And the people of the Ming Dynasty who have filled in too many lives are unhappy and raise the flag to rebel, so don't I have to hang on the old crooked neck tree in the end?
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen simply commanded helplessly: "That's it, slow down, slow down, I will order people to buy more Jiannu white slaves and Kunlun slaves, in short, we must put the safety of the people of the Ming Dynasty first, and we can't fill the lives of the people." โ
As for the life of Jiannu, Bainu, Kunlun, and Nu? When will the life of an animal be fated? Isn't that funny?
They didn't pay taxes to me, and they didn't send their daughters to me!
His mother!
