Hearing this, Ruan Fuyuan's face became a little hideous, and he lowered his head and thought about it.

George listened and opened his mouth to say something, but then he thought about it, but in the end he didn't say it, just looked at Ruan Fuyuan, waiting for him to understand.

After a long while, I saw Ruan Fuyuan raise his head, his face had become extremely hideous, his eyes were red, and he shouted in a low voice: "Okay, just do as you say!" ”

Obviously, the dog jumped off the wall in a hurry!

It's a dead word to stay here, so why not give it a go!

The next morning, the first day of the new year, for Chinese, there is a custom of keeping the New Year, so on the first day of the new year, most people get up late. Even Emperor Chongzhen is no exception.

The first thing he did when he got up was to enter the chat group to take a look at the situation, and it turned out that there were private chat messages to be read, and most of them were sent by Zhu Xieyuan.

"Your Majesty, the combined forces of Annam Nguyen Phuc Nguyen and Phra Rang fled last night, and all the wounded and wounded soldiers of their coalition forces were killed by themselves. It is currently heading west. ”

"Wechen has ordered the troops of the guards in Yunnan to march eastward, and it is estimated that they will be encountered in a few days."

"The Ruan coalition seems to have the tendency of a dog jumping over the wall. Weichen thought that for the sake of prudence, he should mobilize the white pole army and march east together! ”

Emperor Chongzhen saw it, and there was indeed a feeling that a dog was jumping off the wall in a hurry. It's also true, even his own wounded soldiers were killed, isn't it good to stay? At least there's a chance to live, right?

At this time, he didn't think much about it. The war on Annan's side was commanded by Zhu Xieyuan, and he was also very relieved.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen did not care too much. However, the combined forces of Nguyen Phuc Nguyen and the Portuguese escaped from Thang Long, which also means that Annam is basically under the control of the Ming army. In this way, the matter of King Fu's feudal Annan should also be put on the agenda!

If you count it this way, there are two vassal kings to be sealed. These two feudal kings, the original fiefdoms, were all in Henan. One is Nanyang and the other is Luoyang. It's just that with such a separation, the land in Henan Province can be released.

Very good, the next step is to plan the division of the third vassal king! Where should this third vassal king be chosen?

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but fall into thought.

No one expected that two days later, Jin Yiwei, who was in Annam, suddenly reported through a chat group that the combined forces of Nguyen and Phra Franc suddenly turned to the southwest and went to Laos.

When Zhu Xieyuan heard the news, he immediately redeployed his troops through the chat group, and while pursuing the enemy, after thinking about it, he reported to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the remnants of the Ruan clan and the Buddha Lang Jiren fled to Laos for their lives, the mountains are high and dangerous, and it is very difficult to walk. If our army continues to pursue, the logistical burden will be very heavy. The more pursuing armies, the heavier the burden. Weichen thinks that the poor are not chasing! ”

"Of course, the rebel army must not be spared. You can inform the Laos Division of the news, let them surround this remnant army, and if necessary, Wechen will send an elite army to the Laos Division to arrest the traitors and rebels! ”

After Emperor Chongzhen went online, he saw that for some reason, the first thing he thought of was to implement the strategy of driving away the wolf and the tiger on the ground. However, the Lao Division is not a tiger by any means. This remnant army of the Nguyen and the Portuguese cannot be considered a wolf. If you really want to talk about a wolf, it's just a crippled wolf who is dying.

He thought about it for a moment, and he didn't think much about it. Just as Zhu Xieyuan said, it is unrealistic for the Ming army to continue to pursue the enemy, not only is the logistical pressure too great, but this kind of pursuit war is also very expensive and food-consuming. In order to give as many guards as possible the opportunity to train their troops, this time, not only did they use King Fu's money, but the imperial court also contributed a lot of money and food. Now the Ming Dynasty is thriving, and this money and grain cannot be spent in the mountains and mountains of Annam and Laos.

Thinking so, Emperor Chongzhen replied to Zhu Xieyuan: "According to what Zhu Qing said, but there is one thing that must be done: Ruan Fuyuan and Governor Franco, the two people, must see people in life and corpses in death, and any rebellion must be severely punished!" ”

After that, Emperor Chongzhen sent someone to inform King Fu that Annan had arrived, and King Fu could prepare to go to Annan to take up the domain.

When King Fu received the will, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. What he is most afraid of is that Annan will not be able to defeat him for a long time. Then his little money is not enough if it is exhausted. Now that he has been beaten down by the imperial court, he has a little more expectations.

In the past, I didn't fight for Chongzhen's father, and I couldn't taste the taste of the Ninety-Five; Now that I have a blessed country, I can finally taste the taste of words. Thinking so, he hurried to Guangdong with his equally happy son, Zhu Yousong, and prepared to conquer Annan.

The taste that King Fu wanted to taste, King Tang had already enjoyed. Especially after the imperial army withdrew to Yunnan Province, the entire Tang State was decided by him. This kind of vassal king should be interesting!

In this way, this year's New Year, he was very happy, and in the palace, when he accepted the congratulations of the hundred officials, he couldn't stop smiling!

On this day, he was dealing with state affairs, and suddenly, one of his generals hurriedly came to report: "Your Highness, you have found the trace of King Talong!" ”

"What? Traces of King Thiron? When Tang Wang heard this, he immediately put down the things in his hand, stared at the person who came, and asked, "Where?" ”

If there is any hidden worry in his Tang Kingdom, it is the former king of Dongwu Talong, who has never seen anyone alive and dead. In the Tang Dynasty, the original Dongwu people were not extinct, and now they are all his subjects. If it takes a long time, he believes that these Dongwu people will no longer miss the old master, after all, he believes that his diligence can make these original Dongwu people return to their hearts.

But now, the imperial army has only withdrawn to Yunnan, and he, the Tang State, has only been in business for less than a year. He relied on the Ming Dynasty to rule the Tang Dynasty, and his henchmen and civil officials and generals were also Ming people, and the national policy was naturally to tend to take refuge in the Ming people from the Ming Dynasty. For this, Tang Wang still sees it very clearly.

Now that he suddenly heard that there was a trace of King Talong, it was impossible for him not to pay attention to it.

"Back to His Highness, the men under the last general's command met King Talong in Dhaka, the capital of Bengal Province of the Mughal Empire. With a broken arm, it seems to be much older, but it is indeed him. The general said in an aggravated tone, "King Talon entered and exited the Bengal Governor's Palace, and it seems that he was in collusion with the Mughal Empire!" “

"What?" When Tang Wang heard the news, he was very surprised. From the time he arrived in Yunnan and founded the Tang State in Dongwu, it was impossible not to know the neighbors of his country.

It is said that this Mughal Empire, like the Ming Dynasty, had a very large territory. The founding emperor, Babur, a descendant of the Turkicized Mongol Timur, led his troops south to establish the Mughal Empire after the collapse of the Timurid Empire. Today, the Mughal Empire is its fourth emperor, and Shah Jahan, known as the Great Khan, is supposed to rule. At this time, the Mughal Empire was unprecedentedly powerful, and it had almost no opponents in the southern and northern wars.

"Back to Your Highness, what exactly King Thalung and the Mughal Governor of Bengal said, the general will be incompetent and can't find out for the time being!"

When King Tang heard this, his brows tightened, and he even stood up, wandering around the hall, and after a while, he stopped, turned to stare at the general, and said, "Check, check for Gu!" ”

"The last will obey!" Come to the general's order, bow down and withdraw.

But the king of Tang could not forget about this matter, and after thinking for a while, he sent a decree to summon his men to discuss the matter. In the end, it was decided to send an official envoy to the Bengal Governor's Mansion to dignitaries. This King Talong is a traitor to the Damyeongdong Wu Comfort Envoy, and he must be arrested.

After this matter was arranged, Tang Wang was relieved. At this court meeting, he was reminded by his courtiers that behind the Tang Kingdom was the Ming Dynasty, and no matter how powerful the Mughal Empire was, could it still be stronger than the Ming Dynasty?

Think about it, today's Daming is also unprecedentedly powerful! Mongolia, Liaodong, and Korea are all part of the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and there are no threatening opponents in the north of the Ming Dynasty. The Tusi rebellion in Yunnan has been suppressed by the imperial court, and there will soon be a new blessed country on the Annan side.

All these gave Tang Wang confidence. Therefore, he believed that the envoy he sent was in the identity of the Ming Dynasty, the Mughal Empire, and it was impossible for a person who had lost his land and army to get along with the Ming Dynasty, right?

With that in mind, he put the matter behind him. As a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, the Tang State is not wrong to say that it is the Ming Dynasty. Although your Mughal Empire is strong, can it be stronger than the Ming Dynasty? No matter what, you have to give Da Ming a little face, right? The fate of King Ta Long, if nothing else, has been doomed since he was discovered.

On the 14th day of the first month, when the people of the Ming Dynasty were about to celebrate the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first month, the "New Salt Law" finally spread to the Jiangnan region. All of a sudden, the streets and alleys of all regions in the south of the Yangtze River, cities and towns, were all discussing the "New Salt Law".

Just like the people of Beijing, in the Jiangnan area, most of the people are very happy when they hear about it. The price of salt, which plagued every household, can finally be reduced. However, in many wealthy families, there are also groups of people who discuss behind closed doors. Slap the table one by one and scold people, scold whoever you think, the princes above the court, among them, Wen Tiren was scolded the worst, "plague" remarks, this kind of "plague" that appeared in the original history, the most common, said that since Wen Tiren became the first assistant, the Ming scholar suffered from the plague, they dare not say that the businessman suffered, after all, the businessman is not valued in legal theory!

Cutting off someone's money is like killing one's parents. The salt merchants and smugglers, and even the officials of the Salt Department of Transshipment, were extremely dishonest. shouted one by one, slapped the table, and absolutely could not let the imperial court implement the "New Salt Law".

However, after the meeting, more salt merchants did not hesitate to lower the price of salt, and take advantage of the fact that the price is still high now, and sell more. Some people even frantically collect private salt and sell it as official salt, hoping to reduce their losses.

This kind of operation is like a plague, it spreads very quickly, and in each place, one salt merchant does it, and the other salt merchants have to follow suit. While scolding the mother, he sold it at a reduced price to minimize the loss.

This situation is actually understandable, these salt merchants are rich, but what do they use to confront the imperial court in addition to money? Is there a gun? No! Is there a spokesperson in the court? Zhou Yanru, who wants to support, has been dismissed for a long time, and besides, what if there is a spokesperson in the court? Can you go higher than Shousuke? How about the official book? After receiving the money, you will be dismissed if you say that you will be dismissed, and your salt merchant's money is estimated to be unable to be sent out now, who knows if it will be detected by the factory guards? In the past, it was still possible to bribe the imperial historian to attack, but now, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has been reorganized, who dares to spray indiscriminately?

Of course, not all salt merchants scolded the "New Salt Law", those who have salt in their hands, but it doesn't matter, have not been able to exchange salt from the salt works, and the salt in their hands is like waste paper. However, there is a provision in the "New Salt Law" that the salt introduced in the past has always been valid, and you can go to the salt field to exchange for salt. Although the price of salt will be reduced, it is better to be able to exchange for table salt, which is somewhat better than before.

In short, in the area of salt administration, because of the promulgation of the "New Salt Law", especially in Jiangnan, it is almost a chaos. The price of salt is one price per day, or even several prices per day. Corresponding to this, the production and sale of salt has also become crazy, and they all want to make a little more money before the final implementation of the "New Salt Law".

However, this situation did not last long, Wang Chengen, the commander of Dongchang, suddenly appeared in Yangzhou, with a large number of factory guards and nearby guard troops, and arrested hundreds of private salt teams in a row, and what is even more sensational is that Pan Ru, a big salt merchant, was also arrested at the same time. The crime is to sell illicit salt, and the official salt is sold as illicit salt.

This momentum is very big, Pan Ru's crime was openly interrogated in Yangzhou Mansion, and the people were allowed to observe, and under the conclusive evidence of the crime, he even went along the vine and caught the officials of Yangzhou's Salt Department Transfer Division, which was also taken down by Wang Chengen. In the end, the families involved were raided and exiled to the bitter cold land of Liaodong.

What shocked Jiangnan was that more than that, Zhang Pu, the leader of the Restoration Society, was also arrested and publicly interrogated by the factory guards. There are two crimes, one is to slander the important ministers of the imperial court, and the other is to ignore the teachings of the sage, collude with the big salt merchant Pan Ru, and be the minions of the salt merchant. In charge of the study and administration, he announced in public that Zhang Pu was dismissed, and then Wang Chengen rewarded him with 20 boards, and he was also assigned to Liaodong.

The Admiral of Dongchang suddenly appeared in Yangzhou, not only cleaned up the big salt merchants, but also taught Zhang Pu a lesson, these two things had a great impact on the Jiangnan side. For a long time, Jiangnan didn't feel much about the power of the imperial court, but this time, he really felt the thunderous power of the imperial court.

Mr. Storyteller, who had a large audience of the post station system, invariably commented on this matter. The momentum was so great that it overshadowed the comments of the literati. Public opinion, from beginning to end, is under the control of the imperial court.

But before this incident reached a climax, another big event happened in the blink of an eye.
