Zuo Mengeng didn't say a word in the end.

Then in the cries of the Jin merchants outside, Ning Nanbo Shizi brushed his sleeves away.

Huang Shu still admires the scene on the street.

He is actually the beneficiary of this purge, he is a native of Huizhou, and there are also people in his family who sell salt in Yangzhou, not only him, but the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang behind him are all beneficiaries, otherwise there would be no Jiang Guomao's first complaint, but even so, they still have to encourage Zuo Liangyu to clear the monarch's side. They don't like such emperors, today Chongzhen can be short of money to copy the Jin merchants, tomorrow there will be no Jin merchants to copy, he will have to start with the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang if he is short of money, in fact, he has done it, Wang Yongji's family is a part of them, but this kind of targeted copying is not really moving their interests, after all, Chongzhen's copy of Wang Yongji's family is reasonable and legal.

Liu Zeqing has nothing to do with them.

Copying Liu Zeqing was welcomed by the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Copying merchants is also welcomed by them.

But after copying these, Chongzhen will have no one else if he wants to copy the house, so he can only attack them, which is very clear to the gentry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, that is to say, Chongzhen's principle remains unchanged, and they will eventually wait for the wolf-like Jinyi Guard.

This will not work!

They must let Chongzhen sober up and let Chongzhen return to the path of the Holy Lord Mingjun, otherwise they will really have to change an emperor, but they still can't jump out and face Chongzhen, the best way is to fool Zuo Liangyu to do it, as long as Zuo Liangyu goes east to the side of the Qingjun, no matter whether they succeed or fail, their goal has been achieved. Needless to say, Zuo Liangyu's success will definitely come to punish the eunuch party and use Chongzhen as a puppet, they play balance with righteousness, even if Zuo Liangyu can't succeed, they can also use this to put the blame on Yang Qing's head and force Chongzhen to kill this mad dog. As long as there is no Yang Qing as a minion, Chongzhen will not be so rampant, His Majesty the Emperor's expansion is largely due to the strong combat effectiveness of this minion, without Yang Qing as a thug Guangwang Chengen and Han Zanzhou is useless, in the final analysis, this is Nanjing and not Beijing.

This is the territory of the gentry in Gangnam.

But they must preemptively preempt Chongzhen to complete the formation of the Sixth Army in Beijing, if Chongzhen has such a direct legion in his hands, plus Cao Youyi and other towns in Jiangbei that are loyal to Chongzhen, Zuo Liangyu will not dare to kill himself no matter what.

So they have to sow discord.

As for whether Zuo Liangyu will do it......

Does he have a choice?

Chongzhen's purpose in forming the Beijing camp is basically the same as Zhao Gou's collection of Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others' military power, that is, to avoid the military generals from becoming bigger and threatening his rule. And at present, the only one who can threaten the Ming Dynasty is Zuo Liangyu, any regime in the southeast can not tolerate the emergence of upstream warlords, Wang Dun, Huan Wen These people have long proved the threat of upstream warlords.

This is also the main reason why Zhao Gou killed Yue Fei.

Whether Yue Fei was loyal or not, he was in a special position, so he had to be eliminated.

Zuo Liangyu's position is no different from Yue Fei's.

And Zuo Liangyu's performance and Yue Fei's loyalty to Zhao Gou are not at the same level.

Yue Fei rescued Zhao Gou from danger in bloody battles again and again, but he sat back and watched Chongzhen almost die in the north, Zhao Gou could kill Yue Fei without hesitation, why couldn't Chongzhen kill him? Just because he seized Huguang and watched Li Zicheng's evil deeds of attacking Beijing? Chongzhen has revenge, as soon as he set foot in Huainan, he did not hesitate to kill Liu Zeqing, is Zuo Liangyu's performance better than Liu Zeqing in the fall of Beijing?

The reason why Chongzhen didn't do it was because he didn't dare.

It is because Zuo Liangyu has hundreds of thousands of troops.

Chongzhen is not completely sure, but it will be different if the Sixth Army of Jingying is completed.

At that time, he only needed an edict to recruit Zuo Liangyu into the court, just like Zhao Gou did when he dealt with Yue Fei, first transfer out of the department, and then divide and disintegrate and level those generals, when everything is completed, all that remains is just a trumped-up charge, and there is no need to deal with Yue Fei, and there are a bunch of charges against Zuo Liangyu that can be used at will, what can Zuo Liangyu do without military power?

Kill the neck!

If you don't want to do that, it's easy.

The first strike is strong! If Yue Fei can strike first, then he will not be wronged by father and son!

Of course, then he wouldn't be a martial saint!

But Zuo Liangyu probably wouldn't want to be a martial saint, so all he needed was to start before Chongzhen's layout was completed, and with the help of Donglin Qunxian, he would raise troops on the side of Qingjun and go down the Yangtze River to Nanjing.

The rest is up to him!

"Win and lose!"

Huang Shu said with a sneer.

Of course, Yang Qing would not know that some people could not bear his atrocities anymore and began to encourage loyal people to raise troops to clear the king's side.

He's copying his house and he's copying it heartily!

For the next whole month, he did not leave Yangzhou at all, and he and Huang Fei's subordinates simply closed all the gates of Yangzhou, and then copied the Jin merchants under the guidance of the accomplices provided by those Hui merchants, but they were still limited to salt merchants and grain merchants, tea merchants and silk merchants. He had to control the impact on the economy, the salt merchants were basically hereditary parasites of officials and merchants, the purge of these people had limited impact on the economy, and the Hui Chamber of Commerce quickly took over their market, which was the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

And there is also a well-developed transportation.

However, the silk and tea trade that led directly to the Western Regions was still inseparable from the Jin merchants, after all, it was impossible for the Hui merchants to drive their caravans all the way to Russia.

In fact, it is not possible to say that the Jin merchants were completely purged at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

That would cause serious damage to the economy.

These guys controlled all the trade of the Silk Road and the Mongolian steppe, although they smuggled grain and steel to our Qing Dynasty, but we must understand that the vast majority of what they sold was actually tea, and those northwest merchants who drove camel caravans for thousands of miles maintained the land trade between the east and west of the Asian interior and even Eurasia, and countless people in the south of the Yangtze River depended on them for food, they were indispensable.

But the salt merchant is enough.

After all, the richest are these salt industry moths.

In the Great Raid that lasted for a month, Yang Qing and Huang Fei gathered more than 10 million taels of silver for Chongzhen at a very fast speed, as for what they shared with Han Zanzhou and others, there is no need to mention, in fact, there is no difference between the latter's and Chongzhen's, and the wealth of these ministers is no different from the emperor's. The emperor needs to be charged with copying the minister's house, but it only takes one sentence to take away the wealth of the eunuch, just like Wei Zhongxian is nine thousand years old, and Chongzhen has nothing to say, so Yang Qing is no different from giving it to Chongzhen.

In fact, this time a eunuch was also copied.

Yang Xianming, the chief eunuch who was originally the prime minister of salt affairs, was personally taken down by Han Zanzhou.

Yang Qing doesn't know how much this guy's property is, anyway, Lao Yang was given to die, and all the property went into the inner treasury.

In this 10 million, there are not only gold, silver and jewelry that are simply copied out, but also the auction of Jin merchants' shops and real estate, and even their land, their fleet, their slaves, in short, except for the people of their family who were transported to Hainan Island by Zheng Zhilong's ship, everything else is auctioned, presided over by Yang Qing himself, originally Han Zanzhou also wanted to fight for the auction rights, but after Yang Qing sprayed all kinds of auction tricks like a machine gun, he wisely gave up this obviously golden good thing......

He doesn't even understand!

But it looks really amazing!

Then the southern merchant groups such as Hui merchants, Zhejiang merchants, and Fujian merchants flocked to carve up the corpses of Jin merchants from all over the country like bloodthirsty sharks.

Even Zheng Sen bought more than 500,000 taels of assets.

However, his acquisition was to a certain extent his father's overture to Chongzhen.

Anyway, I can't lose.

These assets are all incidental benefits, and at the same time as acquiring these things, they also add to the list of salt merchants to replace those Jin merchants, so it doesn't matter if it exceeds the normal price, Zheng Sen used 200,000 taels of silver to buy a garden that is actually worth 100,000 yuan, and the result is that the Zheng family gets the monopoly right of 10,000 taels of salt every year, and it is not worth mentioning that it costs 100,000 taels more than these salt introductions, you must know that this is more than 2 million catties, and it will not take two years to earn back the extra money.

And Chongzhen was responsible for dealing with the protests of those ministers.

Yang Qing closed the gate of Yangzhou City, and did not let the princes enter the gate at all, and Chongzhen pretended to be deaf and dumb in the palace on the grounds that he did not know the specific situation, playing hide and seek with those ministers, and even pretending to be sick very undisciplinedly, and threw these ministers to Wang Chengen to continue to delay. And Wang Chengen said that the holy dragon body is not safe, how can he, a eunuch, have the power to manage things? It's as if Chongzhen's desk is not handled by him! In short, their shameless monarchs and ministers treated the princes of Gonggong as monkeys, erected a wall for Yang Qing and Han Zanzhou in Yangzhou City, and let them toss unscrupulously in Yangzhou. Although he gained a great deal of wealth, he completely disappointed the princes of Gongon, and it was clear that the emperor, whom they had hailed as the Holy Lord Mingjun, had completely degenerated and gone to the old path of his brother's favored eunuchs, and the distance between him and the sages was getting farther and farther away, and the era of the Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty was getting farther and farther away......

"All are in the making?"

Yang Qing sneered.

"Can Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty have this?"

He went on to say.

And in front of him is a huge mountain of silver that is gradually increasing to the middle school, countless silver ingots, silver coins and even simply silver bricks are falling one by one, and those brocade guards carrying the boxes are flowing endlessly, adding volume to this silver mountain, and the silver transport team stretches outward from this silver mountain, all the way to the Xiaguan wharf, and to the transport ships of the Yangtze River.

Five million in silver.

He used five million dollars to build an exaggerated mountain of silver in the palace.

And around the Silver Mountain, the commander of the Jingying Song Quan, the commander-in-chief of the three armies in the six armies of the Beijing camp, Fang Anguo, Wang Zhiren, Liu Zhaoji, plus their respective subordinate generals, all watched in amazement as this silver mountain became higher and higher in front of them......
