Section 525 Painstaking
The fourth volume of the sharp blade out of the sheath Shenzhou moves
The golden autumn of July is the time when the heat is unbearable.
Early in the morning, the entire Golden State City was already boiling. Qin Haoming took a group of civilian and military generals in the chamber and began to inspect and defend Jinzhou to prepare for the upcoming war.
In front of me is a simple official road, it seems that it has been padded with sand and stones, and it has been tamped with stone grinders, and the land of Jinzhou is not large, and there are several large streets all over it, and all places are composed of small roads.
This is a city full of Han people's agrarian life tracks, and from the official road overgrown with weeds, there is a squadron of soldiers guarding the city gate hole.
When the horses passed through the city cave, the soldiers and the officers who led the squad saluted in unison, and the war horses were not touched, but still bowed their heads and strode forward, this scene, it has experienced too much.
The sides of the gate were still in disarray, with some boots and rags left on the ground, and some rudimentary weapons left underground.
Some of the Mongol Tatars were still detained on both sides of the city gates, and they had a special status, and they were not ordered to go home and wait for disposal like ordinary Han merchants and Han Chinese, but continued to lie here.
"Let General Dong interrogate the businessmen, and if there are those who are willing to work for us, keep their families as hostages, and treat them well. If they are unwilling, their family property will be confiscated. β
Qin Haoming glanced at these dejected or kneeling or lying on the side of the road, their expressions were pitiful, there were old people and children, it was estimated that they were the families of the Tartars who died in battle.
It was too hot, and they all took off their hats, revealing their bare heads and braided hair, and the old people's braided hair was gray and white, and it looked dirty, greasy, and very ugly.
Those children, dirty, don't look good. Mongolian tartars are really dirty, even if they are rich and noble, they are all little dirty children.
Beside these Mongols were the handbooks and prayer stickers that were thrown to the ground, and they were thrown on the ground messily, and a gust of wind blew over, and the prayers were blown with a loud sound.
"What about the others?" Feng Houdun pointed to the old man and the child and asked.
"The others, men, women, and children, all serve as laborers, and Da Ming has no extra food to feed the idlers. If you behave well, take care of it as appropriate. β
Qin Haoming covered his nose and replied expressionlessly.
A strategic point like Jinzhou City was the bridgehead for the Ming Dynasty to attack Liaodong, and it could be connected with Dengzhou, Weihai, Phi Dao, and Zhangzidao from the sea route to harass Jiannu.
On the other hand, the land can support the Ningjin Pass defense line, exhausting the Jiannu, or allowing them to expand their forces and drag down the economy of the dogs.
Therefore, since Jinzhou City has been included in his bag, it will never be possible to spit it out in the future.
There were not many Ming people in Jinzhou City, there were about several thousand, and the others were either enslaved or killed. On the contrary, the number of steppe Tatars is larger, and most of them are family members of the army.
Prior to this, Qin Haoming deliberately connived at the massacre, he felt that if he didn't kill, it would not be intimidating, and it didn't feel so terrible.
He just wants to tell Mo Nan Tartar clearly that it is risky to follow Jiannu, and he needs to be cautious when joining the gang. When the Han people raised the butcher's knife and burst out of blood, it was from a sheep to a wolf.
Now there are cavalry who have taken advantage of the arrival of the Jiannu army to send them to the north, where they should be more widely used.
It's a pity that he regrets it now, what a good labor, they are needed to repair the Golden State, and it turned out to be wasted.
"These Mongolian merchants are lucky, there must be interesting guys, it is not easy to survive in the hands of Qin Du!"
Yan Yingyuan is an old man who has always followed Qin Haoming, how to deal with the Eight Great Jin Merchants at the beginning, he remembers it vividly, and now when he sees Qin Haoming say this, he can't help but shake his head and sigh.
"Yuanheng, you need to know two things. In the first place, the Governor had no prejudice against merchants. On the contrary, businessmen are essential to the development of the country.
If you look at what the governor has done, you will know that it is the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the Department of Commerce, and various workshops, etc., so that there are food and military expenses for the soldiers.
After all, looting is only a temporary measure, not a long-term solution.
However, there is also a way to steal, and there must be a bottom line to be a man, and some money cannot be earned. β
Yan Yingyuan's sentence has a misunderstanding of businessmen, Qin Haoming has to pay attention to it, these people will be the pillars of the country in the future, and they must be explained clearly.
He turned around and continued to the crowd of civil and military officials: "Actually, you should know that Ben Du and Fan Yongdou and the other eight Jin merchants have no personal grudges, but why do you want to use such a thunderbolt to get rid of them?
You also know that in these years, the Ming Dynasty has been plagued by natural and man-made disasters year after year, and the common people can't survive, so they have raised their banners to rebel, and there is smoke everywhere, which has disturbed the Ming Dynasty is not peaceful for a day, and the state affairs are declining day by day!
But on the other hand, the Tartars are strong and strong, and the state affairs are better than one day, and the soldiers are also stirring up the Ming Dynasty several times and three times, and their vitality is greatly damaged!
Aren't you surprised that there are natural disasters in the Ming Dynasty, and there are no natural disasters in his Tartars?
The Governor can responsibly tell you, yes, of course! Not only is there any, but compared to Da Ming, it's not much better!
But in the face of natural disasters, how can this state affairs be one in the sky and one on the ground! Why is that?
There are many reasons, but one of the big reasons is that Daming has produced a group of traitors! And the most important thing is that these traitors are still very capable!
Who are these traitors? There are many, officials, generals, civilians, and soldiers, but they are not as harmful as these traitorous merchants!
So how did these businessmen betray the country?
For example, traitorous merchants like Fan Yongdou used their huge business network to purchase large quantities of materials in the Ming Dynasty, such as grain, iron tools, firearms, cloth, medicinal materials, etc., and then resold them to the Tartars.
After getting these materials, the harm caused by natural and man-made disasters was greatly alleviated, which naturally brought about a great increase in the strength of the Tarslavs! β
"What should I do after the strength has soared?
Rob!
The Tartars can't produce, but they are pitifully poor, can their ginseng and deer antler velvet afford to raise the Eight Banners Uncle?
If you don't grab it, where does this silver come from, without silver, Fan Yongdou and they won't sell things over!
So where to rob it, of course, it is to rob Daming, Daming has silver!
So as long as the Tartars had the opportunity, they would definitely come to Da Ming's trouble, and if they grabbed the silver, they would use it to buy the materials in Fan Yongdou's hands.
If you grab valuable goods, such as cultural antiques, jewelry and other things, then entrust Fan Yongdou and them to bring them to Daming to sell!
After selling, they got the silver, and they could buy the materials in Fan Yongdou's hands, and when they got the materials, their strength was strong again, and they came to Daming to grab it again, just like that, they fell into a cycle!
Not only that, but in order to facilitate the military operations of the Tartars, these merchants also established a huge intelligence network in Daming!
This network covers officials at all levels of the Ming Dynasty, regardless of civil and military generals, they can reach out, especially the border gates, which are all messed up by them!
And everywhere, whenever something happens, the news can be sent to the Tartars as soon as possible!
Otherwise, why did the Tartars enter the customs every time the traitors were about to be destroyed by the imperial court? No one reported the news, can this time cooperate with such a tacit understanding? β
Qin Haoming spoke these words very carefully, asking and answering them, and analyzing the problems clearly. I am afraid that the generals will not understand, and the language is also very straightforward.
He said that this purpose is twofold: first, it is natural to emphasize the importance of business. Second, it is a warning to everyone.
He didn't want to defeat a group of them, and the team that fought with him bloodily was also planted here, trapped in an endless cycle of evil deeds.
Of course, he knew that just saying that he wanted to put an end to this kind of phenomenon was tantamount to a fool's dream, but he showed his attitude that if someone really wanted to take this path, it would not be blamed for his ruthlessness.
Of course, there are some things he still picks and chooses, at least, he can't say what will happen in the future.
For example, in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng fought all the way to the capital, but Dolgon, who was thousands of miles away, knew Li Zicheng well.
Not only does he know Li Zicheng's marching route, but he can also know the actual situation of each time he conquers the city, and he knows how many soldiers he actually has in his hands!
In the end, Dolgon saw the opportunity, and immediately mobilized the whole clan to run to fight with Li Zicheng for the world!
Whoever owes the most credit to the Tartars is, of course, the merchants!
Later, the Tartars won the world, and in order to thank the merchants who had made great contributions to them, Shunzhi Xiaoer specially summoned them in the palace and gave them official titles.
Later, there was a "Eight Emperor Merchants", without great merit, a merchant of a feudal dynasty, a fat pig-like existence, why did he get this treatment!
Still, that's enough!
"Governor Qin has worked hard, we are taught!"
Everyone understood the meaning, and Yan Yingyuan bowed down on behalf of everyone to express his gratitude.
"Haha......" Everything that should be said was said, Qin Haoming also looked very proud, the horsewhip pointed ahead, and said: "Ask someone to arrange, this governor will stay in the palace tonight." β
"No, my lord!"
A group of attendants and officials also felt in high spirits, they were not very old, and they had not yet been contaminated with the bad habits of the old oilmen of officialdom.
"Tell the front, kill less, and try to grab as much labor as possible to build business in Golden State. By the way, let the soldiers in the city not be too fierce and pay attention to efficiency. β
Killing too hard before, Qin Haoming hurriedly gave a supplementary order.
Treating the residents of the city well is also for the sake of the overall situation in the future. After all, the population of Liaodong is not as good as that in the Ming Dynasty, and they are all killed, where are the laborers?
"No, go and handle it immediately!"
Yan Yingyuan knew that this matter was particularly important, so he immediately took the people from the Chamberlain Division of the Cultural Propaganda Bureau to find a place and began to write the Seal Decree and military orders, and then the attendant civil officials and attendant military attachΓ©s handed them over to the relevant departments for promulgation and implementation.
Qin Haoming didn't pay attention to too many details, he set up the Attendant Division to help his own hand, and if he asked about the details, he couldn't get along with himself.
