Chapter 107: Fighting a war costs money

Qin cha Xingyuan.

"Lichunyuan is scattered over there?"

Looking at the little eunuch who came in, Zhang Whale withdrew his gaze from his fingers, why didn't he find that his fingers were so beautiful before!

"Back to godfather, disperse!" The little eunuch said respectfully.

Nodding, Zhang Whale said with a smile: "It's good to disperse, our errand is finally over, I've been away from Beijing for so long, and I don't know what's going on in the capital, have those little cubs forgotten about our family." ”

"How dare they!" The little eunuch hurriedly said: "Godfather is the most trusted person of our Ming Dynasty." ”

Glancing at the little eunuch, Zhang Whale said lightly: "That is, you will say, how did you do things?" ”

"Go back to Godfather, let's do it!" The little eunuch replied: "Three copies of the folds, divided into three batches to send out, the godfather's folds are the earliest, the little grandfather's folds are second, and Lord Cao's folds are the last." ”

Zhang Whale nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, that's good, it's good." ”

Three points of Qin's folds, his own folds must be the first to go to the emperor's dragon book case, Cao Yikui's is still the last! If the emperor is moved by his nonsense, then he will be in trouble.

"Alright, let's go back and rest!" Zhang Whale waved his hand: "It's time for our family to rest, but I'm tired!" ”

The little eunuch hurriedly said: "My son is waiting for my godfather to rest!" ”

Zhao Mansion.

Zhao Liang entered his study, glanced at his son Zhao He, frowned and said, "It's so late, if you don't go back to sleep, what are you doing with me?" ”

Zhao He scratched his head, but his expression was still respectful: "The child doesn't understand something, and I want to ask my father!" ”

"What do you ask for at night, go back to sleep!" Zhao Liang said angrily, although he also wanted to teach his son, especially when his son was so self-motivated, but when was this.

If you don't sleep at night, what kind of system will it become, it seems that you really have to order a family affair for him as soon as possible.

Li Zhongxing seems to have a daughter, I don't know if I can ask for it, I'm afraid it's a little difficult, so I have to ask another day.

Zhao He was scolded by his father, so he could only nod and turn around and go back to his small courtyard. Now Zhao He admires his old man very much, and he is not as dissatisfied with eight as before, and he can only live well by listening to his father's words!

Early the next morning, Zhao He got up early in the morning and went directly to his father and mother to say goodbye.

glared at his son, attracting a roll of his wife's eyes, Zhao Liang said helplessly: "Okay, sit down!" Haven't had breakfast yet? Let's eat together! After speaking, he looked at his wife and got a coquettish white eye.

The family had breakfast, and in his wife's relieved eyes, Zhao Liang took Zhao He to the study.

After taking a sip of tea, Zhao Liang said, "Tell me, I don't understand anything!" ”

Zhao He breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Dad, the child didn't understand yesterday's events, what is the court going to do?" Abolish the salt introduction, and the court will not be afraid of everyone making trouble? If something goes wrong with this salt, I'm afraid it's unstable in Jiangnan! ”

Glancing at his son, Zhao Liang smiled bitterly and said, "Noisy? At this time, who dares to make a fuss? ”

"Didn't you see Li Zhongxing yesterday? Let's make a fuss, they Jin Shang just took advantage of the situation, and they just wanted us to make a fuss. Zhao Liang said with mockery in his tone: "There are not enough people arrested in Yangzhou? No one dares to make a fuss! ”

"Look at it, the salt farm sale held by Li Zhongxing in a few days will definitely break the head!"

Zhao He nodded, and he also thought of this: "But the three salt farms are really too few, if only I could take a few more." ”

Glancing at Zhao He, Zhao Liang snorted coldly and said, "Be content!" ”

"This is the news that has not spread, you have to wait for the news to spread, you will not be able to catch a salt farm." Zhao Liang snorted coldly and said, "Those nobles of the Ming Dynasty, if they knew, would they let go of such an opportunity?" ”

"This time, the court made it clear that it was going to kick them out, and this was giving us a chance."

The father and son talked for a long time, but most of them were Zhao Liang teaching his son, and he was quite pleased with his son's changes these days, and he spared no effort to teach.

Beijing, Forbidden City, Wenhua Palace.

Zhu Yijun was pacing in the hall with a smile on his face, he was in a good mood these days. The reversal of the Qi family's rebellion case in Yangzhou has been sent, and the court is quiet, which has relieved Zhu Yijun of a lot of pressure.

A few days ago, the impeachment of Zhang Whale was carried in a box, and the Qi family conspiracy case was all honest.

"Emperor, Shen Ge Lao asks to see you!" Zhang He walked in from the outside and bowed.

Shen Shixing is coming?

Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Let him come in!" ”

It didn't take long for Shen Shixing to walk in from outside, and the energetic Shen Ge Lao looked a little tired at this time. In fact, Shen Shixing's pressure during this period was really great, not to mention the complicated government affairs, he has been like this for so many years.

But the things in Yangzhou made him receive a lot of criticism.

Some people have already called Shen Shixing a papier-mΓ’chΓ© scholar, and the reputation is very bad.

Fortunately, Yangzhou broke out the Qi family's rebellion, which made Shen Shixing also breathe a sigh of relief. Then there is the matter of the northwest, where there is a war in the front, and there is no stop in the rear. Grain transshipment, personnel deployment, busy is indispensable.

Shen Shixing basically hasn't been home during this time, and he has almost eaten and lived in the cabinet.

Although the ministers also thought that the northwest would use troops, no one expected that it would be so big, and when Qi Jiguang's good news arrived in the capital, everyone else was happy and excited, but Shen Shixing and they were complaining.

After many years in the imperial court, Shen Shixing and they certainly understood the significance of the victory in Qinghugou.

Although the battle was won, it also means that Daming and Warat have completely turned their faces.

The next battle in the northwest will definitely continue, and this is no longer whether they want to fight or not, or whether Daming wants to fight or not. As soon as the war starts, it can't be stopped. This is also the reason why Admiral Qi Jiguang's holy decree of announcing military affairs is so good, and they also know that this battle is not allowed to be defeated.

Once defeated, the entire northwest will be eroded, and then things will be in trouble.

"Your Majesty, this is the fold that Liang Menglong, the governor of Jiliao, just handed over!" After saluting, Shen Shixing hurriedly handed over a copy of the fold and said respectfully: "There is an abnormality in the local barbarians of Liaodong, and it seems that they are about to commit a crime!" ”

Zhu Yijun frowned, although he had expected this for a long time, he didn't expect it to happen.

The so-called barbarians in eastern Liaodong actually include many tribes, among which the more famous ones are the Chahar Division, the Korqin Division, the Inner Khalkha Division, the Tumut Division, the Ordos Division, etc., which are more chaotic than the Warat in the west.

These tribes were very large and could not be unified, otherwise the Ming Dynasty would be in great trouble.

"Which one?" Zhu Yijun looked at Shen Shixing and asked in a deep voice.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's the Chahar Ministry!" Shen Shixing thought for a while, and added: "It's Buyan Chechen of the Chahar Department, and it is he who will meet the alliance departments on the grassland and prepare to commit crimes. ”

Many people may not have heard of Buyan Chechen, but his son must have heard of many people, and this person is Lin Dan Khan. In fact, Buyan Chechen was a cousin of Altan Khan, and in order to avoid the annexation of Warat, Buyan Chechen moved east with the Chahar tribe, and only then did he come to the current place.

The Chahar tribe was strong and ambitious, bent on unifying southern Mongolia and thus the whole of Mongolia.

As the heir of the Golden Family, although Buyan Chechen is not an opponent of Altan Khan, but now Altan Khan is dead!

After the death of Altan Khan, it would have been strange if Buyan Chechen had no ambitions. It is estimated that this time the news that Daming and Wara turned their faces, Buyan Chechen also heard about it. This attack on the Ming Dynasty, whether it is to deter the ministries or to take advantage of the chaos, is not good news for the Ming Dynasty.

Over the years, the Ming Dynasty has not stopped fighting with the Chahar Department in Liaodong, and Li Chengliang and Qi Jiguang have been fighting with them in Liaodong.

This time, Buyan Chechen also summoned other tribes to come together, and it is estimated that the Liaodong side is in an emergency.

"What did Liang Menglong say?" Zhu Yijun looked at Shen Shixing and asked with a serious face.

"Liang Menglong didn't say anything, he just hoped that the imperial court would be able to allocate a batch of silver." Shen Shixing thought for a while and said: "Liang Menglong said in the recital, for the time being, he only found out that Buyan Chechen had the possibility of committing a crime. ”

Zhu Yijun nodded, he can understand asking for money, before the war, eat something good and give some bonuses.

"How much does he want?" Zhu Yijun looked at Shen Shixing and asked.

"Two hundred thousand taels!"

Zhu Yijun said without thinking about it: "Give it to him, let someone send it to him, and tell me that I don't ask him to kill more barbarians this time, and don't go to him to make any big victories, there is only one request, that is, to defend Liaodong for me." ”

"Liaodong can't be chaotic, the barbarians can't enter the Great Wall, if you can't do it, military law will do it!"

"Yes, the minister understands!" Shen Shixing hurriedly bowed and said, now that the northwest side is fighting, Liaodong can't be chaotic!

After this matter was finished, Shen Shixing opened his mouth again: "Your Majesty, the treasury has already spent more than two million taels of silver, do you want to go to the northwest and let Qi Jiguang fight quickly!" ”

The Northwest definitely has to fight, but it's better to finish it quickly!

In fact, Shen Shixing is also a temptation, testing Zhu Yijun's attitude, if Zhu Yijun agrees, the next step should be to persuade Zhu Yijun to value peace and end the war in the northwest as soon as possible.

"No!" Zhu Yijun did not hesitate at all, and waved his hand resolutely.

"The war in the northwest is all paid to Qi Jiguang, how to fight, he has the final say, we can't rush here. Don't be afraid to spend money, war is to spend money, the treasury is not enough silver and my inner treasury, the inner treasury is not enough, I am thinking of other ways. ”

This time, Zhu Yijun is smashing it with money, and he will also smash the northwest down.

Shen Shixing listened to Zhu Yijun's words, and he felt a little confident in his heart, as long as the emperor was willing to use the silver from the inner treasury. Who in the court doesn't know that the emperor has money, as long as the emperor is willing to spend the money of the inner treasury, there will not be so much pressure on the treasury.
