Hearing the figure of 500,000, Zhu Youxiao was very surprised.

He knew that Xiao Wu was rich and very good at making money. During the Chinese New Year this year, I gave him a dividend of 300,000 yuan.

But Zhu Youxiao never thought that Zhu Youzhen would be able to be rich to such an extent.

500,000 taels of silver were transported at a time.

Hubu and Taicang transported more than him at one time, but it was the silver of the Ming court's taxes.

It's really rich.

"The 500,000 taels are not mine." Feeling that it seemed to scare Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youzhen hurriedly explained.

I see. Xiao Wu just helped the merchant transport the silver and reaped some benefits from it. This doesn't seem to be easy to use officers and soldiers, right?

"Can't you use our brother's store?" Zhu Youxiao frowned and asked.

"Big brother, this is silver, 500,000 taels of silver. With the brothers' warehouse, what if it is robbed? ”

"That's just as well." Zhu Youxiao touched the short hair on his chin and said. With the trimming of his short hair, he looks a lot more mature.

With so much silver, you can't do it without sending someone to protect it. It is even more absolutely undesirable to directly call in officers and soldiers.

According to Xiao Wu's thoughts, this is not a matter of once or twice. Once the news leaked, the officers and soldiers were transferred to transport silver for the merchants, and those civil officials did not turn the sky upside down.

Officers and soldiers must not be called in directly.

Zhu Youxiao's eyes turned to Xiao Wu, and the bell must be tied to the bell.

Xiao Wu is the prince, why should I make a move.

"Xiao Wu, this is easy to do, I will allow you to open a mansion. I transferred 500 people from the Imperial Horse Supervisor to the palace guards, and you dispatched them yourself? Zhu Youxiao said lightly.

In May of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, officially opened his mansion.

Beijing, Wei Zhongxian's private residence

"Governor, it's time to make up your mind." A handsome middle-aged scribe anxiously urged.

"This?" Wei Zhongxian's fingers kept tapping on the table, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.

Feng Quan, the beautiful Xiushi in front of him, sent him a message, and the Donglin Party was planning a large-scale impeachment of him, and the leader was Yang Lian.

Is it the first to get the first thing? Wei Zhongxian was also difficult to make a decision for a while.

Wei Zhongxian in the private house couldn't make up his mind for a while. In Liaodong, far away from the capital, a tragic massacre is being staged.

This vast plain between Liao and Shen, this once prosperous Han people's settlement, is now like a ghost.

The white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles. It's the best portrayal.

In the battle of Liaoshen, Houjin won very easily, and the duration was also very short. The war did not cause much damage to the civilian population.

The destruction came from Nurhachi.

After occupying Liaoshen, the first decree issued by Nurhachi was the "Enclosure and Jiding Receiving Field Order". With this decree, the fields between Liao and Shen were assigned to the Eight Banners, and the Han people became slaves.

Nurha's red mouth says that "those who resist are killed, and those who are captives are enslaved", but in reality "all rich and poor will be killed".

While shouting preferential treatment of "Nikan", he never treated the Han people as human beings.

After the occupation of Quang Ninh, Nurhachi strictly ordered the Han Chinese to join the Jurchens, and they had completely treated the Han people as slaves. Later, he issued an order to shave his hair and make it easy to obey, and used a butcher's knife to force the Han people to bow their heads.

At the beginning of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, Nurhachi adopted Fan Wencheng's suggestion to move the capital and turned his gaze inward.

He took the opportunity of moving the capital to Shenyang, and raised a bloody butcher's knife against the Han people in Liaodong.

For Hermes-Epitek, Nurhachi has always been suspicious and afraid.

The Jurchen population is too small, and even if the Jurchens are arrested and naturalized from the deep mountains and forests of Haixi and other mountains for years, there are only 5 or 600,000 people in Houjin. There are more than 3 million Han Chinese in Liaodong, which is 5 or 6 times the Jurchen population.

This huge population gap makes it difficult for Nurhachi to reassure.

Once the Ming army came and the Han responded again, the Houjin war situation would be out of control.

Even if the Ming Dynasty didn't dare to call for a while, among so many Han people, once a hero came out, an organized group would be a huge trouble for Houjin.

It's better to kill, only the dead Han are good Han people.

For Nurhachi, who was familiar with the customs of the Ming Dynasty, shaving his hair and obeying the order was just an excuse for him to kill people.

How can he rest assured if he does not reduce the Han people to a certain number, how dare he rest assured.

After Quang Ninh arrived, the strategic retreat of the Ming Dynasty created a no-man's land of several hundred miles, which made Nurhachi more confident internally.

"It's too slow." Nurhachi glanced at Fan Wencheng irritably, and casually whipped it over, whipping Fan Wencheng to the ground.

It's just a matter of moving the capital.

A little thing made this Han Nu so cumbersome, and he hadn't made the trip for a few months. Nurhachi couldn't wait.

After more than a year of clearing the Liaoshen region, Nurhachi still did not reach his intended goal. There are still too many Han Chinese left.

On the Ningyuan side, Sun Chengzong's city-building operation was also coming to an end. Based on his understanding of the Ming army, the Ming army would never launch an offensive before the city was built.

Once the city of Ningyuan is built, it is possible for the Ming army to launch an offensive again. He had to take advantage of this time to straighten out the interior.

During this time, it happened to take advantage of Fan Wencheng's suggestion to move the capital and make every effort to clear the inner line. If he did not reduce the number of Han people to a certain number, he would never dare to attack again.

The decision to return to Shenyang to kill the Han people made Nurhachi's Eight Banners more loyal to him.

For Nurhachi's bandit army, killing the Han Chinese was the best way to accumulate wealth. Far easier and easier than playing Daming.

After receiving this order, the morale of the Eight Banners Army immediately broke through the sky.

can legally kill and rob, and the entire Eight Banners Army can no longer suppress its bloodthirsty desire.

The bandit legion had to be sustained by robbery.

"Big brother, am I wrong?" Fan Wencheng asked Fan Wenhuan who was medicating him.

He risked his life to come to Nurhachi's side in order to be a Confucian minister admired by later generations like Wang Meng (the mastermind of the former Qin Fujian) and Dong Wenbing (the mastermind of Kublai Khan).

Educating the male lord of a different race is a good name that has been praised through the ages.

Unexpectedly, Nurhachi only accepted his suggestion to move the capital, but did not accept any other suggestions for treating Han people well. To this day, he still looks like a courtier by Nurhachi's side.

"If it is not of my race, its heart will be different." Fan Wenyu said as if he was answering and talking to himself.

"Yes, to the Jurchens, we are not aliens." Fan Wencheng seemed to suddenly realize.

Under the light, the brothers' ugly money rat-tail hairstyle was particularly dazzling.

In May of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, Nurhachishuai, who couldn't wait for the completion of the relocation of the capital, returned to Shenyang ahead of schedule with the main force of the Eight Banners Army.

With the main force of the Eight Banners brought back by Nurhachi joining, the speed at which Houjin slaughtered the Han people suddenly increased.

In order to justify the killing, Nurhachi even issued an order to strictly investigate the "people without grain".

"People without grain" means that if each Han person has less than five buckets of grain, he can kill him.

What kind of crime is it to kill someone without stockpiling food? It's unprecedented!

Faced with the butcher's knife raised by Nurhachi, a large number of Han people began to flee. Many more were slaughtered on ridiculous charges.

The number of Han Chinese in Liaodong quickly declined to less than one million in a very short period of time.
