For the sake of his old face, of course Qian Qianyi couldn't tell Jiang Yueguang the truth.

"Brother Yan and Xian, you don't know! His Majesty the Emperor is really broad-minded, and His Majesty and I had a bad relationship in Nanjing, so if I change to an emperor's foolish brother, I can get good fruits to eat? However, His Majesty completely repaid his grievances with virtue, and for the safety of the foolish brother, he actually sent a new army to pick me up in Changshu's hometown, which really made the foolish brother have no land! ”

Hearing Qian Qianyi say that he had seen the New Army, Jiang Yueguang hurriedly asked: "Brother Mu Zhai, your home is in Changshu, do you know the real situation of the Jiangyin War?" Is it true that many people died on the Manchu side as rumored? ”

Hearing Jiang Yueguang ask Qian Qianyi a sigh of relief, he finally didn't have to make it up, as an intellectual, he still needs some face, which is fundamentally different from Zhu Hongsan, who is completely shameless.

"Brother Yan and Xian, what kind of news did you hear?"

"You know that my brother and my family are in Jiangxi, I heard a lot of news in this Jiangyin War, there are a lot of strange things, and some of them are really not like words, what Ming army artillery is powerful, one cannon erodes dozens of miles, and what Manchu Qing Dynasty has been killed by millions, little brother wants to ask Brother Mu Zhai, what is the real situation?"

Qian Qianyi sighed and said: "Brother Yan and Xian, when I went south from Beijing, Jiangyin had already finished fighting, but I did hear on the Manchu side that a prince and a Baylor were killed, and the eight banners of the Han army were basically wiped out, that is, the eight banners of Manchuria died in thousands, and I didn't believe it at that time, but when I arrived in Guangzhou, I came into contact with the Chinese books of the incoming and outgoing armies at that time and knew that the losses suffered by the Manchus were far greater than what they said." ”

Jiang Yueguang's spirit was shocked and said, "Oh? Tell me about it, brother! ”

"Brother Xian, you have been in Nanjing, and you know how powerful the sailors on the Nanjing River are, with hundreds of large and small ships! But these ships were wiped out by the New Army Sailors, do you know how many ships the New Army participated in? There are only five of them! ”

"What? Only five? Five ships wiped out hundreds of sailors? ”

Qian Qianyi nodded, and then said: "Yes, in one day, the original Nanjing Navy Division was wiped out, Caojiang Admiral Xincheng Bo Zhao Zhilong was killed, and tens of thousands of soldiers were drowned!" The battle of Jiangyin on land is similar to the legend, the Manchu Qing killed more than 50,000 people, but the new army also suffered many casualties, and more than 1,000 people lost their combat effectiveness! ”

"Destroying 50,000 enemies and only losing more than 1,000 people yourself, is this still called a lot of casualties?"

"Brother Xian, you don't know how much money each soldier of the new army has to invest! The equipment of the new army will cost 100 taels of silver per person, plus the monthly salary of 5 taels, and the cost of 2 taels of silver per person per month, and it will cost 5 or 6 million taels of silver to support these new troops in Guangdong every year, which is not counting the most expensive sailors! ”

Hearing that the new army spent so much money, Jiang Yueguang couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

"Five or six million taels of silver a year? The best years in the Chongzhen period were less than five million taels, isn't Emperor Shenwu reckless? ”

"Brother Xian, you don't know, you saw Nancheng when you entered the city! Do you know how much tax Guangdong province pays every year? There are fifteen million taels, which is still last year's income, and this year it is estimated that it can reach more than 20 million taels! ”

Jiang Yue is well-informed, and his decades of life in the sea have long made him happy and angry, but he was still surprised to hear the news today.

"Fifteen million taels a year? It's all scraping! Didn't there be a civil uprising in Guangdong? ”

"Brother Xian, you also saw it when you entered the city, do you see a sign of a civil uprising?"

Of course, Jiang Yueguang, whom Qian Qianyi said, knew that the city was peaceful and easy, and there seemed to be some sign of civil change. But Jiang Yueguang didn't understand very much, in the Chongzhen Dynasty, it was clear that it had dried up and fished, and he could only get less than five million taels a year, which was only obtained under the levy of taxes for the next two years, you must know that it was the whole country. However, Guangdong is completely beyond the scope of Jiang Yueguang's understanding, there is no need to increase taxes, and Guangdong Province can collect 15 million taels of commercial taxes alone?

Jiang Yueguang did not know economic theory, and of course he did not know the insidiousness of Zhu Hongsan, who used his industrial capacity far beyond this era to produce low-priced industrial products in large quantities, and then marketed them all over the country, squeezing the local natural economy through dumping, and then forming a monopoly and earning a large number of high profits. This method is similar to that used by the American Emperor in later generations, using your raw materials to process and sell them to you, while you are tired and tired only to find yourself getting poorer and poorer.

Of course, Jiang Yueguang didn't know this kind of economic theory, he just admired Zhu Hongsan's ability to manage money.

After fooling Jiang Yueguang, Qian Qianyi asked, "Brother Yan and Xian, are you from Jiangxi Jin Shenghuan this time?" ”

"Naturally, I went to see Jin Shenghuan immediately after receiving Brother Mu Zhai's letter, just like what you said in your letter, Jin Shenghuan does have a mind anyway!"

Qian Qianyi was overjoyed, if Jin Shenghuan was anyway, his Donglin lineage would definitely receive great support in the court.

"Brother Xian, tell me about the current situation in Jiangxi!"

After Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren fled back to Nanchang, the Manchu governor of Jiangxi was very dissatisfied with them, and heard that the conflict had become public. But Jin Shenghuan's team has been lost in Ganzhou, and the two of them have less than 10,000 people in their hands, and they are all old, weak, sick and disabled, so Jin Shenghuan has a request, thinking if he can support them with 5,000 guns. ”

As soon as Qian Qianyi heard Jin Shenghuan's lion open his mouth, he actually wanted to use a fire gun, which was absolutely not good.

"Brother Xian, the fire gun must not be given to them, you also know that Jin Shenghuan is capricious, what should he do if he turns around and attacks us after giving him a sharp weapon? In addition, the production of this new type of musket has not been able to go up, and our own new army is not fully equipped, so can it be given to them! This is absolutely not a no-go! ”

Before coming, Jiang Yueguang also knew that this condition was a little excessive, but Jin Shenghuan also had a substitute condition, and it was okay to give the musket to some people.

Jiang Yueguang pondered for a moment and said: "I see, if the musket is not good, can you put back the Manchu prisoners of war held in Ganzhou, Jin Shenghuan has no one in his hands, he really doesn't dare to do it!" ”

Qian Qianyi nodded and said, "It should be no problem to give him some people, but this is not something I can decide, Brother Yan and Xian, why don't you go into the palace with me to face the saint and see what His Majesty the Emperor says!" ”

Jiang Yueguang had this intention, he also wanted to see the legendary emperor Zhu Hongsan, and after the two discussed, they went out to the palace in a sedan chair.

Zhu Hongsan is very busy now, but he is not busy dealing with state affairs, but busy dealing with Qian Qianyi's wife, Liu Rus.

Zhu Hongsan is in the prime of life, and his body is comparable to Qian Qianyi, who is decaying in qi and blood, Liu Ru made a feeling after being strengthened by him twice, and every few days he had a tryst with Zhu Hongsan when he entered the palace to visit Bian Yujing.

This feeling of cheating also gave Zhu Hongsan a great stimulus, Qian Qianyi worked hard for himself in the front, but he was in the back with his wife, which was exciting to think about.

Zhu Hongsan leaned on Liu Ruis and asked while working hard: "Mother-in-law, how do I compare with my father-in-law!" ”

Liu Ru was blushed by Zhu Hongsan's shamelessness, but she liked this shameless feeling very much, and when she heard Zhu Hongsan ask, she hurriedly whispered: "Your Majesty is still powerful, the slave family is about to fly to the sky!" ”

Hearing Liu say this, Zhu Hongsan felt even more and more hard.

"Mother-in-law, this is not interesting, why don't you call Yuting together, how about you mother and daughter come to accompany me?"

When Liu Ru heard Zhu Hongsan say this, he scolded in his heart, this emperor is really absurd and shameless, can he think of this kind of idea?

Without waiting for Liu to answer, Cao Fang outside the door whispered: "Master, Qian Qianyi is asking to see you outside the door!" ”

Hearing that someone's real husband was coming, Zhu Hongsan couldn't help but scold: "This old Wang Ba, when is it not good to come, pick this critical time to come, I haven't had fun yet?" ”

Zhu Hongsan felt a shock to the hot body under him, knowing that Liu Ru was afraid of being caught by his husband, Zhu Hongsan lost interest, and stabbed twice to get up, and the little eunuch on the side came over to serve and put on clothes.

Zhu Hongsan said to Cao Fang: "You take Mrs. Qian through the back door, don't let people see it!" ”

Cao Fang scolded in her heart, do you still know that you are afraid of being seen? The king in history who played with the wife of his subordinates was not driven out, and only Yang Guang, the king of the dead country, was good at this. But Cao Fang only dared to think about these words in his heart, and never dared to say them.

Seeing Liu Ru go out with Cao Fang bare, Zhu Hongsan was in a very good mood. This Liu Ru is not a loss from Qinhuaihe, all kinds of tricks and skills are not comparable to those women from good families, and his wives are like dead fish in bed except for Bian Yujing, and they are really not interested.

Zhu Hongsan put on his clothes with the help of the little eunuch, calmed down, and came to the front study to see Qian Qianyi.

Qian Qianyi and Jiang Yueguang had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Zhu Hongsan coming out, they quickly got up and saluted.

Jiang Yueguang looked up at this Shenwu Emperor, Zhu Hongsan is 1.75 meters tall, which is 5 feet 4 inches in terms of the length of the Ming Dynasty, which is relatively high in this era. The appearance is dignified, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a black gauze crown, which is really heroic. It should not be said that Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants have been inherited for more than 200 years, and they still look good. However, this Shenwu Emperor has an extraordinary appearance, but his two pairs of eyes reveal an evil light, and he has a feeling of being an old bandit just by looking at his eyes.

At the same time that Jiang Yueguang was looking at Zhu Hongsan, Zhu Hongsan was also watching Jiang Yueguang. Seeing that Qian Qianyi brought in an old man in his sixties, Zhu Hongsan was also very different.

Zhu Hongsan opened his mouth and asked, "Mr. Qian, this gentleman is the one!" ”

"Your Majesty, this is a newcomer from Nanchang, Jiangxi, a scholar in the forty-seventh year of Wanli, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of Dongge University, Jiang Yueguang Jiang Juzhi!"

It turned out to be Jiang Yueguang, who persuaded Jin Shenghuan to revolt, and after the defeat, he took dozens of his family to commit suicide in the pond.

Zhu Hongsan knew that Jiang Yueguang was the boss of Donglin, and these stinky old men in Donglin had always treated themselves as stinky shit because of Qian Qianyi's relationship, but he didn't expect to take the initiative to vote for himself this time, which was really unexpected.
