Chapter 796: Reaction of the Factions
Nanjing Wharf became a place of close attention to all forces within the Ming Dynasty regime, and as soon as there was a stir, it immediately passed through the eyeliner and into the ears of the leaders of various factions.
In the mansion of the Tang Dynasty, a group of pro-Tang factions gathered together to listen to the news transmitted by the internal line and analyze the current situation.
Jin Shenghuan was a little puzzled after hearing this: "This time, the gang in Jiangsu and Zhejiang did too much, the king of Chu has soldiers in his hands, why don't you just send them to prison, but let them continue to make trouble like this, making Nanjing a miasma." ”
Du Yinxi listened to his words, but said: "If it is Dongyu, these people don't need to be tried, they will definitely be killed directly, but the king of Chu is the regent and represents the law of the imperial court, so naturally he can't mess around." Although these people should be imprisoned, they cannot be arrested without credentials. If the King of Chu arrests them casually today, can he also arrest us casually, and the three families will have no basis for cooperation, so this rule still has to be explained. This is also the difference between us and the Eastern Captives, they are chaos and destruction, we are civilization and order, and the reason why we fight is to protect these things. ”
King Tang failed to ascend the throne, Jin Shenghuan sealed the king's dream and shattered, and he had a lot of opinions about Wang Yan, "Then watch Nanjing go on like this, their Chu Party can't do it, I think His Royal Highness can come forward to calm the situation in Nanjing!" ”
"How to calm down? In the current situation, there is no food, you are flat, I am flat, or let His Highness be flat? "Su Guansheng doesn't have a good airway.
Tang Wang listened to them, but did not make a sound, he was in an embarrassed mood now, one did not want to see the Zhejiang gentry benefit, and the other was not very willing to see Wang Yan better, in short, the whole person was entangled.
"Then do you want to help King Chu do something, after all, Nan Zhili can't keep being so messy!" Wan Yuan Ji said.
"If the king of Chu can't hold on, he will naturally come to exchange things with us, but he hasn't it yet, which means that he is still under his control. You don't know the forces behind the King of Chu, and I'm afraid that the gang in Jiangsu and Zhejiang will suffer. Su Guansheng sneered.
Most of the pro-Tang faction had stayed in Guangzhou, and they knew that today's Guangnan was no less prosperous than Jiangnan, and they also understood that Su Guansheng was telling the truth.
Seeing this, the king of Tang finally spoke: "Tell our people, don't follow the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, they fight them, we don't care, and if everyone is sure of the victory of the king of Chu, you can prepare silver money to come in and copy the bottom, the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang owe a lot of money to the court, and they should spit it out." ”
"The gang of people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have put up so much grain, which has exceeded the needs of Nanzhi, once the price of grain falls, I am afraid it will drop to less than five dollars of silver, we can indeed make a small profit, and the lower officials will write back to Jiangxi, and the benefits cannot be monopolized by the Chu Party." Wan Yuan Ji said.
King Tang nodded, and then said: "The affairs of the Chu Party and the Zhejiang Party, let's put it aside for a while, the key for us now is to restore Jiangxi and Fujian, and the trade in the South China Sea cannot be monopolized by the merchants of Guangnan." Since Quanzhou also wants to set up a city, then we must operate it well, and only with money can we achieve great things. The reason why my Daming has come to this day, and the reason why Yizong is desperate, is it not because he has no money? This is a lesson that we need to learn. ”
Looking at the current situation, King Tang also has gains in his heart, if it is him, maybe he will be played to death by this group of inferior gentry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and finally have to compromise, and the court will return to the situation of Chongzhen Dynasty. He can see clearly now that if he wants to sit firmly in the upper seat, he must have his own strength and be able to control the scene.
Tang Wang's current strategy is to go along with the Chu Party in major matters, in exchange for the Chu Party not to crack down on the pro-Tang faction, and in small matters, to loosen the soil for Wang Yan, so that his position is not too firm, and the most important thing is to let the Chu Party fight with the Zhejiang Party, and he will make a lot of money in a muffled voice.
After hearing this, he stood up and saluted the king of Tang, and then said: "Your Highness, about the establishment of a city in Quanzhou and the opening of the sea trade, Zheng Guo's surname has just arrived today, saying that after the Chu Party started a war with Heyi in the South China Sea, Heyi entrenched in the ships of Penghu Dayuan, and often harassed the merchant ships in the South China Sea, and the merchants of Guangnan suffered great losses, and the merchants of Fujian were also harassed. Chen Zilong, the Liangguang governor of the Chu Party, wanted to unite with the national surname to pull out Heyi's stronghold in Penghu and Dayuan to ensure the smooth sea route, and the national surname asked His Royal Highness if he could cooperate with the Chu party? ”
Tang Wang pondered for a while, did not answer, but asked everyone: "What do you think?" ”
"Naturally, it's cooperation! Pulling out the nails of the Dutch in Penghu and Dayuan will also be of great benefit to Quanzhou's opening of the sea. Let's not forget that the king of Chu can have today's momentum, starting from the opening of the sea in Guangdong. Su Guansheng got up and said.
At the beginning, Su Guansheng was Wang Yan's close partner in running Guangdong, and he knew very well how Wang Yan made his fortune and how he ran it.
Tang Wang said in his heart, Wang Yan can become today's trend with one province, and he has two provinces today, "Okay, according to Su Ge Lao's meaning, let Zheng Guo and Chen Zilong cooperate, and pull out the nails of the Dutch in Penghu and Dayuan together, so that the country can do a good job in maritime trade, his Zheng family has been doing this longer than the King of Chu, and there is no reason to compare with the King of Chu." ”
"Then the lower official will send a letter to Zheng Guo's surname tonight." Plug Yinxi arched his hand, and then sat down.
The Tang king's faction in the city did not participate, and Zhang Kentang of the Lu king's faction was also closely observing the development of the situation, he wrote a letter to the king of Lu to report the matter, and the king of Lu replied to him with only four words, "Wait and see what happens." ”
Among the eyeliners of various factions, the most concerned about the situation of the wharf is naturally a group of inferior gentry from Jiangsu and Zhejiang led by Xie Sanbin.
Many of them originally just wanted to make a profit, but they didn't expect to play so big now, and the silver taels invested had reached more than 10 million, and it was too late to get out.
At this time, the price of food is too terrifying, like a high-rise building built on a wooden stake, with no foundation at all, and it must fall to the bottom, but I don't know when it will fall, and who will be able to escape.
For them, the price of food is like a hanging sword in the sky, they have invested too much, and their hearts are extremely anxious, so they can only send people to the dock frequently to inquire about the news.
During this time, their mood fluctuated with the situation of the grain ships on the dock.
After the second batch of grain ships ran out of grain, they were about to celebrate, thinking that they had won a great victory, but at this moment, almost the last copy, the third batch of grain ships sailed to Nanjing, and their hearts and minds were once again tested.
For a while, in order to prevent Wang Yan from buying grain, they had to continue to buy grain in Huguang secretly at silver higher than the market price, but the strange thing was that Huguang's grain seemed to be inexhaustible, and the amount of silver they transferred was quickly spent.
The inferior gentry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were difficult to ride a tiger and could only continue to raise money, but at this time, a group of businessmen with the identity of Fujian suddenly appeared in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang generations, expressing their willingness to borrow.
Xie Sanbin and his gang judged that this was a pro-Tang faction and also meant to overthrow Chu, but they were afraid of Wang Yan's power and retaliation, so they didn't dare to participate directly, so they wanted to borrow their hands to overthrow Chu, so Fujian businessmen suddenly appeared to give them loans.
Under Xie Sanbin's movement, the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, who were difficult to ride a tiger, could only bite the bullet and use their land, shops, and houses to mortgage and borrow.
They originally thought that as long as they survived this period, they would be able to sell the grain in their hands to the imperial court at a high price, but just when they were expecting the third batch of grain ships to run out, the fourth batch was shipped over.
The tense nerves of these people were almost about to collapse one by one, and finally when the fifth batch of grain ships came to Nanjing, they couldn't stand it at all.
