The starting point city wants to publicly try Fan Yongdou and others, and Chongzhen also wants to reflect the presence of the imperial court, and with a stroke of the pen, he ordered the three divisions to be tried. At Wang Yue's insistence, the location of the triage of the three divisions was placed in the starting point city, so that it was convenient for the starting point city radio station to report the whole process.

After all, Fan Yongdou and others have a lot to do with most officials in the DPRK and China, and they also have the hope of fighting the autumn wind.

On June 8, along with the officials of the three divisions, there were also the chief officials of the six departments, as well as Cao Ruyi from the palace.

Cao Ruyi came to handle the handover of the silver, and the sixth ministry came for the two million taels of silver handed over by Wang Yue.

The court is about to beat out the dog's brain for this silver, anyway, as an official of the Ming Dynasty, this life is not easy, especially Ni Yuanlu, the head of the household department, is full of tears.

There were so many officials in the imperial court who joined in the fun, and Wang Yue also knew their intentions, didn't he just want to kill people and kill them? The virtue of the Ming officials, Wang Yue is very detailed, and he really has to dig deeper, there are not a few clean ones, and it is impossible to kill them, so this time it is just a public trial of Fan Yongdou and a few other Jin merchants.

There are many people, and the place where they need it is very large, so the venue for the public trial was chosen at the Cinema in the starting point city, and the stage became a judgment table for the officials of the three divisions.

The officials who accompanied the bigwigs from various ministries sat in the audience seats with low grades, and those with high grades sat in the front row, and the bigwigs sat in the box on the second floor.

"The atmosphere of the starting point city is incomparable, it can be described as every inch of land!" Ni Yuanlu, the head of the household, sighed that because the starting point city is very close to the capital division and is famous, he has been here, but not many because of his identity.

"Isn't it, three years ago this was still a field, but now it is densely populated, surpassing the Jingshi."

"That's right, at first this was the land of the British government, but now the British government has recruited Wang Sihua as a son-in-law, which is even more prominent.

"Hehe, the wealth of the starting point city far exceeds that of the Jin merchants, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the essence of the Ming Dynasty lies in this."

"This Wang Sihua is already rich enough to rival the country, why do you still want to seek Jin Shang?" Some people were indignant.

"Who thinks they have a lot of money?"

……。

The officials chatted in the box on the second floor, and in one of the boxes.

"Lord Shaobao, the emperor is looking forward to that silver day and night, I don't know how many times I have been talking about it, I, who is a slave, have a few gray hairs." Cao Ruyi said to Wang Yue very little, and now Wang Yue's power is getting heavier, not as good as it was at the beginning.

Wang Yue laughed and said: "Father-in-law Cao, you still call me Sihua, we are friends, and it is too much to call the official position." The emperor's silver, after all, is huge, and it has been prepared for some days, but it can be handed over today. ”

Cao Ruyi was moved and said: "I, Cao Ruyi, have made a friend like Sihua, I am really fortunate to have three lives." ”

……。

Zhu Zhifeng, Cai Maode, and Wei Jingyu, the third governor of Xuanda, also came to thank Wang Yue.

Zhu Zhifeng, the governor of Xuanfu, said to Wang Yue with a smile: "Thank you Lord Shaobao for taking care of my Xuanfu, I don't thank you for your kindness." ”

Cai Maode and Wei Jingyu also said: "I don't want to thank you, Lord Shaobao wants to build roads and railways in Xuanda Shanxi, and we will definitely support it." ”

The three governors each divided 200,000 taels of silver in kind, which was already a lot of money, and they didn't see that the court was fighting for the silver handed over by Wang Yue?

Wang Yue smiled and said: "This official, I have always admired the three elder brothers, I believe that this money will be put into your hands and will definitely be implemented." ”

These three governors have both character and official character, and they are the objects of Wang Yue's friendship, and the layout of the starting point city in Xuanda Shanxi in the future also needs their cooperation.

Cai Maode laughed and said: "Don't worry, Lord Shaobao, the old man will definitely not spend a tael of silver." ”

Zhu Zhifeng and Wei Jingyu also smiled and nodded.

……。

The Tiance army arrested and confiscated the Jin merchants, and the court was clamoring about how to divide the spoils, but at this time, the Central Plains region was undergoing great changes.

Zhang Xianzhong of Gucheng lived a very nourishing life after surrendering. In Gucheng, I met a fortune teller, Wang Youtian, who calculated a hexagram for Zhang Xianzhong, saying that it was "unspeakably expensive".

As soon as Zhang Xianzhong heard this, he felt that he had a destiny, and began to discuss with the strategists Pan Duao and Xu Yixian about rebelling again.

Pan Duao is a student, because he can't compete with others for land, he is angry and surrenders to thieves.

Xu Yixian was scheming, teaching Zhang Xianzhong the so-called "Sun Wu Art of War", and also helped to build weapons such as three-eyed guns, maces, and ambush repeaters.

Huo Huo is sharpening his knife and preparing to rebel here, Xiong Wencan over there is still busy fighting and impeaching him Yu Yinggui, the governor of Huguang, and repeatedly accommodating Zhang Xianzhong, for fear that he is plotting rebellion. The imperial court asked him to break down Zhang Xianzhong's order, but he didn't take it seriously at all.

Zhang Xianzhong set up a card in Gucheng to collect taxes, drilled the army, and prepared to rebel again. Even later, whoever said this again, he cleaned him up.

Stationed in Gucheng was Long Zaitian, the deputy general of Yunnan, whose mission was to monitor Zhang Xianzhong and restrict his movements.

As a result, this guy accepted Zhang Xianzhong as his godson in Gucheng, and the two sides often had parties, and it was a harmonious mess.

Zhang Xianzhong privately let people spread rumors, saying that the military discipline of the Dian army in Gucheng was corrupt and plagued the place.

Speaking of which, the military discipline of the Dian army is indeed not very good. Because it is a foreign army, there is no psychological pressure on the plague place.

The local gentry in Gucheng were all wealthy landowners with little foresight, and they all played and demanded that Long Zaitian be transferred.

As a result, Xiong Wencan was fooled, and sure enough, he ordered Long Zaitian's troops to go home.

Zhang Xianzhong's "reluctant" farewell, sent a generous gift, and sent someone all the way to Guizhou, to make sure that the goods were really back in Yunnan, so he was relieved.

Because the dragon's equipment in the field is all bird guns, Zhang Xianzhong is still very jealous. Knowing that he was really gone, Zhang Xianzhong said to the strategists around him: "What I'm afraid of is these birds. "He was scared by the rifles of the Tiance Army.

On June 10, the twelfth year of Chongzhen (1639), Zhang Xianzhong made a move, killed Ruan Zhitian, the magistrate of Gucheng County, and Zhang Dabao, the superintendent of the army, surrendered. Tear down the city walls, release prisoners, and loot the county treasury.

Chen Hongfan's Ma Tingbao and Xu Qizuo, who were stationed in Gucheng, were coerced. After the rebellion, Zhang Xianzhong attacked Fang County, and Hao Jingchun, the magistrate of the county, stubbornly held on and sent more than a dozen people to ask for help, but there was no response.

The garrison commander made Zhang Sanxi open the door and surrender, and Hao Jingchun and other gentry were killed. Zhang Xianzhong rebelled, and the old Hui Ma Yingshou followed and moved, and most of the leaders who surrendered rebelled again, at this time there was a great drought in the Central Plains, and the people had no food, and the leaves and bark were eaten up.
