962 Hunt down Tong Yangxing
Gift? What a gift? The newly reclaimed farmland of Jianyu is almost destroyed, this is a great gift! Emperor Chongzhen was a little puzzled, so he asked about the specific situation.
Hai Lanzhu immediately replied: "It's Tong Yangxing, the chief military officer in charge of farming. Several times he brought serfs to stop us from destroying the farmland, which annoyed my brother, saying that he was beyond his means, so he decided to bring his head to His Majesty. ”
Tong Yangxing, some say that he is Han, and some say that his ancestors are Jurchen, anyway, he is doing business in Fushun, and he is doing a lot of business. No matter what, it's all from the Ming Dynasty anyway. In 1616, he took all his possessions as a gift and took refuge with the wild boar Pinurhachi. It can be said that the large sum of money he provided was of great help to the wild boar skin at the beginning of the rebellion. Therefore, the wild boar skin was immediately overjoyed, and immediately chose a daughter of the clan to marry him, called "Shi Wuli Forehead".
Huang Taiji also appreciates Tong Yang's temperament and has always given it reuse, which is better than Fan Wencheng. In the past, Fan Wencheng had no real power. But Tong Yangxing has a temperament, and he is the chief military officer who manages Hannu. In the original history, at this point in time, he was already in command of a firearms unit composed of Han people, named "Wuzhen Hachao", and made great contributions to the laying of the Daling River.
In this plane, due to the lack of food, it was impossible to form a firearms unit, so he was changed by Huang Taiji to the chief agricultural officer in charge of clearing and farming in the north. The matter of food is the most concerned thing of Huang Taiji, but it was handed over to Tong Yangxing to be responsible, which shows the status of Tong Yangxing.
It is not necessary that Han is not a traitor, but he is definitely one of the most famous traitors in the late Ming Dynasty, which is undoubted. It is also because he has such a great reputation that after Wu Keshan was obstructed by him a few times, he became ruthless and wanted to capture him and dedicate him to the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom. He was sure that this Tong Yang was definitely the person that Ming Guo wanted to deal with quickly!
This is not Wu Keshan's audacity, and he has to make extra trouble under the siege and interception of Jianyu. Instead, he felt that he was very sure that he would do it.
Wu Keshan's subordinates are the elite of the two thousand Horqin clan, specially selected, and there are two horses for one person. But Tong Yangxing, originally there was still a bit of an army in his hands, but Huang Taiji recruited the whole army, and even those over the age of fifteen had to be recruited, not to mention the army in Tong Yangxing's hands.
Therefore, the people in the hands of Tong Yang were actually the serfs who were responsible for clearing the wasteland and farming, and he encouraged them, saying that they would stop Wu Keshan from destroying the grain fields, otherwise everyone would starve to death. Therefore, these serfs were brought to obstruct Wu Keshan's elite cavalry.
Although the final result was useless, after all, the combat power of the armies on both sides was not of the same grade at all, and Tong Yang's subordinates did not even have the most basic weapons. But under his harassment, it did hinder Wu Keshan. This annoyed Wu Keshan, so he did it.
"Your Majesty, that Tong has suffered heavy losses, and now he is being chased by my brother and fleeing in embarrassment." Hai Lanzhu told the details, "My brother said that one day at most, he will be able to surround Tong Yang and catch him!" ”
When Emperor Chongzhen heard something, he immediately asked, "You mean, now you and your brother are not together?" ”
"Well, my brother asked me to take five hundred people around the road to the front to intercept him, and he followed Tong Yangxing to chase after him, and it is estimated that he will be able to meet tomorrow evening and block Tong Yangxing!" Hai Lanzhu replied.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he frowned slightly, in the pursuing Jianyu army, he didn't have his own eyeliner, and he didn't know where Jianyu was. But if you extrapolate from the time, Jianyu must have surrounded it. So, he once again advised: "The strategic goal of this war has been achieved, although Tong Yangxing is a person who wants to break down his bones and raise ashes, he can't take risks for him, and the future is long, and there are opportunities." After you will meet your brother, you will pass on my will, let him not delay any longer, otherwise the risk is too great, return to Daming as soon as possible, safety first as well! ”
Hearing this, Hai Lanzhu's heart was full of relief, the young emperor was concerned about himself after all. So, she hurriedly agreed.
After dealing with this matter, Emperor Chongzhen checked the other private chats and chat records in the chat group, focusing on two aspects. One is the extermination of pirates on the southeast coast, there is only one naval division of Zheng Zhilong, and the power at sea is still too weak. Especially in the current situation that the pirates are scattered, they are plundering everywhere, so that Zheng Zhilong is tired of running for his life and saving the scene everywhere, and the situation is a little stiff for a while. However, Li Zhiqi's Denglai Sailor is almost here, and when the two sailors meet, their strength will increase greatly, and the situation should be improved.
The Portuguese in Macao, who did not dare to rebel like the Dutch in Taiwan, finally obediently sent a fleet to trade in the South Seas, and at the same time took on the task of escorting the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty.
Another thing that I am concerned about, which is more important than this, is the collection of personal income tax or luxury tax in the Ming Dynasty. The previous half-year buffer on the violation of the service house is almost here, and this matter can be said to be a major event in the next few years, and it must be strictly implemented, and the atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty must be reformed, and at the same time, the taxes of those rich businessmen will be collected in disguise.
From the news obtained so far, and from the chats of people in the southeast and northwest in the chat group, it can be known that most people, especially the rich people in Jiangnan, are still waiting and watching and have not paid for their violations. In this regard, Emperor Chongzhen also understood the reason, for example, those big salt merchant mansions are almost comparable to the palace gardens. If, according to the decree issued before, it is estimated that they want to continue to enjoy the previous luxury, it will definitely be a heavy hemorrhage. For these merchants, it is certainly not happy.
After Emperor Chongzhen verified the situation from the chat group again, he made up his mind in his heart and decided to take advantage of the fact that the war in Liaodong had come to an end and achieved major victories.
He had actually been thinking about this matter for a long time, and he hadn't moved it before, because he had the trouble of being a confidant, and everything had to be focused on the war in Liaodong. But after two years of consumption, at least in terms of food, the seven inches of the captives have been taken to the ground, and they can't make much waves. In the war in Liaodong, the initiative was already in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.
After all, the relationship between the local government and the local government is intertwined, and it is difficult to predict how strong the enforcement will be. Factory guards are an unconventional force, and their original task is too heavy to be used for such large-scale surveillance operations. The reform of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the military can just meet this need.
