Chapter 404. The Devil's Deal

Just because Yuan Shizhong was an outlier among the thieves in the late Ming Dynasty, he also became a sweet spot in the eyes of a large number of jackals, tigers and leopards!

Beat Li Zicheng, beat Zhang Xianzhong, beat the fifth battalion of the left, everyone is poor and there is only one life left, not only go up to work hard, but if you are not careful, you have to add two bloody holes, and you can't get any benefits, and the court also offers a reward of thirty taels for one person's head, but in fact, if you cut off a hundred heads, you may not be able to get three taels of silver.

But it's different to fight Xiao Yuanying, even if you don't win, you can grab money, food, and women, and you won't suffer any losses.

Even not only the military generals at the bottom, but even the Shaanxi Governor Sun Chuanting, the governor of Datong, Lu Xiangsheng, and other powerful bigwigs are eyeing him, although they are not greedy, they can guard the poor court, and life is also tight, if they get Xiao Yuanying's family background, they can also take a breath of relief.

In this troubled world, everyone is fighting for that pitiful mouthful of life-saving food.

Surrounded by several imperial armies, Yuan Shizhong also has a lot of face, but he was also pressed to death in Taihang Mountain, even if he has the heart to Zhao'an, Zhao'an is not up to him.

This is also beyond the scope of Song Xiance's ability, and after a two-day delay in Xiao Yuanying, Song Xiance still had to choose to hand over the problem and resubmit it to Mao Jue.

In this era, there was no telephone, and the news was transmitted back from Shandong, even if it was borrowed twice by the flying bird to pass the book, when it arrived in Mao Jue's hands, more than a month had passed.

With the rapid change to describe the Dongjiang River to take over the Heilongjiang River, it is more appropriate, along the plains near the Mudanjiang River, the green rice has grown tall, began to tassel, although the cold weather in Heilongjiang, maturity has to wait for a few months, but this heavy, is hope.

Heilongjiang is too vast and sparsely populated, a large area of land can not be developed anyway, Mao Jue simply learned from the Yankees of later generations, not far from the rice field residential area, many Dongjiang troops with large bundles of Dongjiang wire, the slightly inferior land into a piece, the last Dongjiang War, Mao Jue captured a lot of Mongolians at this time came in handy, in the free exchange, thousands of Mongolians came out of the Dongjiang labor reform mine, is obediently into this wire circle encircled pasture, to Mao Jue to work.

Large ranch grazing! The vast meadows are sprinkled with grass seeds to cultivate pasture, herds of cattle are lazily chewing with their heads down, and there are also traders from the Yalu River side market, and the mountains of sheep are running around, and on hundreds of acres of land, more than a dozen Mongolians are also lazily waving horse whips, this year the Dongjiang River is not worried about eating meat, and the army's beef jerky reserves can be raised to a higher level.

Not only that, but in the yamen of Mudanjiang City, in a single large courtyard, a stream of black smoke rose up, several Hessesen railroad tracks were laid on the ground side by side, and a larger iron guy was whining and spewing steam.

In fact, it is not too difficult to invent, but it is rare to think about things out of thin air, just like the Mayan civilization in South America, they can enter and build huge and complex pyramids, stone cities, but until their demise, they did not invent wheels and iron products, now the steam engine is available, and the rest is an experiment to exhaust the milk, how to improve it better.

How Tsarist Russia and later the Soviet Union ruled the vast Siberia was not by virtue of the Siberian Railway artery, Mao Jue wanted to rule the vast Ussuri River basin of Heilongjiang with a sparse population development, and it would be great if there was a railway.

It's a pity that the locomotive, which can pull hundreds of tons, is still in the experimental stage, and a large number of red-haired and green-eyed crooked fruit devils are following Xuankong Lao Dao and they are comparing, but Mao Jue is involved in Song Xiance's problem.

Sitting at the desk and reading Song Xiance's letter three times in a row, Mao Jue threw the letter heavily on the table, leaned on his arms tiredly, and leaned his head on the back of the chair.

Adleena, who was supposed to be in Iron Mountain City for Mao Jue, is here again! Seeing the expression of her man, she also asked with difficulty.

"Do you need a concubine to bring that person here?"

After hesitating for dozens of seconds, Mao Jue finally nodded fiercely.

"I want to see him! Send someone to invite him to Mudanjiang City! ”

…………

In Song Xiance's letter, the suggestion to Mao Jue was still the old way, and it was solved through the imperial court, and he asked one million taels of silver to go north to Beijing to bribe Xue Guoguan, the head of the dynasty, to follow Yang Sichang's path, and find a way to win the right of Yuan Shizhong's 200,000 displaced people to the Dongjiang River.

To tell the truth, if these 200,000 people can go to the Dongjiang River, let alone one million taels of silver, two million, four million taels, Mao Jue is willing to spend it, Heilongjiang is full of treasures, all that is needed is the population to dig them out, but this road is too difficult!

Chongzhen is a cautious eye, Mao Jue's call to blackmail is to completely destroy the already bad relationship between him and the emperor, although there is less blind command of the imperial court, but the disadvantage is also any court discussion that is beneficial to the Dongjiang River, I am afraid that Zhu Youzhen will not agree, put 200,000 people to Mao Jue, it will be difficult for the emperor to pass.

Look at the Shoufu University scholar Xue Guoguan again, don't look at him is still beautiful now, but Mao Jue comes from the memory of later generations, but he knows that he is a grasshopper after the autumn, and he can't jump for a few days, the long-lived Shoufu University scholar of the Chongzhen Dynasty has only Wen Tiren This is a special case, and then Chongzhen changes the auxiliary ministers as often as changing clothes, in just 17 years, more than 50 cabinet members have changed, even if Xue Guoguan is bought, I am afraid that these 200,000 people have not yet arrived in the Dongjiang River, he will step down.

As for Yang Sichang, if he uses 200,000 displaced people to pull in the relationship between him and the powerful warlords in the Northeast, he is willing to push the boat with the water, but he is an out-and-out emperor faction, learning from the experience of his father Yang He, as long as the emperor is against it, he will definitely not do it, just like Zhao'an Zhang Xianzhong, obviously expected him to rebel again, but even Chongzhen forgave this bastard who dug his ancestral grave, and Yang Sichang didn't say a word of bullshit.

In terms of intimacy, he is not as good as Zhang Xianzhong, the leader of the thieves! Yang Sichang's path is too difficult to follow.

It is not that there is no chance of success in taking the path of the imperial court, but there are only three percent, and Emperor Chongzhen, who gambled, was in a good mood that day, but Mao Jue needed Yuan Shizhong's more than 200,000 homeless people too much! There is no room for error!

This time, he can only sell his soul to the devil!

The convenient transportation of the Dongjiang River, about five days, the person Mao Jue asked for appeared in Mudanjiang City.

Da Ming-style melon skin hat, a piece of emerald in front of it decorated on it, thin face, three slender beards, an ugly money rat tail sticking out from the back of the round hat, but the body is wearing a scholar Hanfu wearing Bo wide clothes, such a set of Jurchen is not Jurchen, Da Ming's dress is really awkward, and people who look at it feel uncomfortable.

Maybe the slave has been a slave for a long time, and he can't change his face everywhere, and when he entered Mao Jue's office, Fan Wencheng, the first Hanchen University scholar in the Qing Dynasty, habitually pouted his sleeves and wanted to kneel down a thousand times, but he shook the wide Han sleeves twice, and then he reacted coldly, and bowed with a red face.

"On behalf of my lord, Fan Wencheng, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, visited Lord Mao, the governor of Liaodong!"

"I heard that my lord has recently cultivated land and blessed the people, and my majesty deeply admires it, and sent his subordinates to send 1,000 cattle, 2,000 horses, and 5,000 sheep to help Lord Mao!"

"To be able to open up 10,000 acres of fertile land in such a bitter cold place, adults are really the blessing of all generations, if there is the talent of Lord Mao back then, why would I have started a war in the Qing Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty has been in constant trouble, so my lord is full of hospitality, and I implore Lord Mao to accept it!"

Help Mao Jue to develop and send people to the head? Huang Taiji is by no means a rookie player of the Bronze Five, he can't not understand, once Mao Jue cleans up Heilongjiang, the next one to clean up is him Taqing! Fan Wencheng's emotion may be true, but the purpose of Huang Taiji is by no means so simple, and even in front of Mao Jue, who came from later generations, it is completely transparent.

didn't bother to go around in circles with him, Mao Jue threw down the pen and stood up, and said bluntly.

"Your Qing army wants to enter the customs and plunder!"

In an instant, Fan Wencheng's pupils dilated a little, and he waved his hand again and again, and he stumbled and argued: "Why did General Mao say this?" In the battle of the Dongjiang River, the country was already scarred, and Shengjing City even wore filial piety! Inspector Mao's martial might has made my lord very afraid, and His Majesty is even thinking about going to the emperor and proclaiming himself a minister to the Ming Dynasty, how can he still do such a rebellious thing, Inspector Mao, don't misunderstand! ”

"I don't want the grain and livestock that have been plundered by entering the customs, and the people of the gold and silver children will give me half of the Dongjiang River!" I can also give you an explanation, I want to Zhao'an a 100,000-strong Henan thief, I need you to transfer the officers and troops in Henan and Hebei!"

"Because everyone takes what they need, they will not attack Shengjing, and the Dongjiang River also needs to develop, and the Ming Dynasty is no longer the target of the Ming Dynasty's allegiance, so don't worry about letting your master think about it himself! But if your master does not agree to the general's request, or breaks his promise later, the peaceful relationship between Dongjiang and your Qing Kingdom will end, and the cavalry of Dongjiang will trample on every inch of your Qing Kingdom! If you don't accept it, just send troops to fight!"

Cold sweat beads popped up on Fan Wencheng's head in a short time, dripping straight down, but this person can become a famous minister in the early Qing Dynasty, and he does have a bit of courage, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he nodded and agreed.

"The cattle and sheep will arrive in a few days, and the superintendent's request, the lower official also agreed on behalf of my lord!" Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
