137 The enemy is in the dark, and I am in the dark
I saw Han Shengcai say with a serious face: "It's Ningxia Ma Shilong!" ”
"Ah......" When Cao Huachun heard it, even if he was very urban, he couldn't help but be surprised.
You must know that today's Ma Shilong, but the army of the Prime Minister Northwest Qinwang, was given the sword of Shang Fang by the former Emperor Chongzhen. The relationship with Sun Chengzong is also very good, and its influence is almost all over the border army.
Hu Guang inherited the memory of the original Chongzhen Emperor, so he naturally knew this Ma Shilong. After a little recollection, I suddenly realized that this Ma Shilong really had divine help, and it was a miracle that he was promoted quickly along the way.
Han Sheng was afraid that the emperor would not believe it, so he explained in detail: "This Ma Shilong was born in Wuju and is a capable person. Therefore, when he served as a guerrilla in Xuanfu, he was favored by them and became their representative in the army, and because of this, he was already in a high position at the age of 34. ”
Hu Guang nodded when he heard this, this Ma Shilong's promotion is indeed a miracle in Daming. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that he doesn't have a particularly big credit, but has a fiasco in Liuhe, but it doesn't have much impact on his official career, even if he loses power for a while, he can get up quickly. If there is no interest group behind this, the ghost will believe it!
Han Sheng saw the emperor nodding, believing in the big news he had exposed, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised in his heart, so he continued: "This Ma Shilong is indeed a capable person, but Your Majesty can let people check it, but he has no achievements in the war of captives, just because he is the representative of the Jin Shang family in the army. ”
This was similar to what Hu Guang thought just now, and suddenly he nodded slightly, and sure enough! If Hu Guang had remembered the history of later generations, he would have further confirmed this idea.
In the original history, Ma Shilong soon said that he was sick and returned to his hometown after this war, so he did not appear in the war against the captives. However, he had a good performance in the later war against the Mongol Tatars.
Moreover, Ma Shilong's family, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, mixed very well. A large group of commanders and the like are very valued by Kangxi.
Hu Guang suddenly thought of a very serious question, his face became serious, and he immediately asked, "What about Sun Chengzong?" At the beginning, Sun Chengzong also strongly recommended Ma Shilong, does Sun Chengzong have a problem? ”
If Sun Chengzong also had a problem, then it would be a big deal, because almost all the military forces except for the Jingshi were in the hands of Ma Shilong and Sun Chengzong. Compared with Ma Shilong, Sun Chengzong's influence is greater.
Fortunately, Han Shengcai shook his head after hearing this and said, "No, Master Sun admires Ma Shilong's talent, and there is no interest between the two." Caomin remembered that in the past, the Jin merchants had filial piety to Lord Sun, but they were rejected! ”
When Hu Guang heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. It should be that he is too nervous, Sun Chengzong has been fighting on the front line of the captivity, how can it be that he is from the Jin Shang family!
If he remembered the details of Sun Chengzong's rather die than surrender to Jianyu, and finally sacrificed heroically, it is estimated that he would not have been shocked just now.
After hesitating for a moment, Han Shengcai spoke again: "Actually, Ma Shilong has the ability, but his strength is actually more reflected in the fact that he has many elite families. And the money for him to maintain his family was provided by Jin merchants. ”
Hu Guang listened and nodded, the family system at the end of the Ming Dynasty was indeed wonderful, if you want to prosper the Ming Dynasty, this military system must be changed.
It seems that it is worth coming over today, this Han Sheng is very good. Thinking so, Hu Guang said to him kindly: "What you said is very valuable, and you have done a good job, and I am very satisfied." Don't miss everything you know, even if it's in the details, and tell Cao Daban about it. ”
"The grass people obey!" Han Shengcai hurriedly agreed. He has reached this point, and there is no way back.
Hu Guang turned his head to look at Cao Huachun and said to him: "Big companion, you have to protect him, and you can't let people from the outside world know that he is in Dongchang for the time being." The stakes are high, you know? ”
"The slave knows, the slave will not let people know." Cao Huachun obviously knew the severity and immediately responded.
Hu Guang was still a little uneasy, and after thinking about it for a while, he dialed half of the guards present, including Chen Er, to Cao Huachun, and asked them to protect Han Shengcai closely.
After arranging these things, Hu Guang stood up and prepared to leave. However, he quickly remembered something, so he turned around again, looked at Han Shengcai, who had been helped up, and said, "The name of the ticket number is too narrow, I don't want to use it." ”
As soon as he heard that it involved the field he was familiar with, Han Sheng immediately focused on listening to the emperor.
"I've thought about it, and in the future, the one controlled by the imperial court will be called the Daming Central Bank. Silver of silver, 365 rows of rows. The business involved is not only the ticket number, well, it will also distinguish commercial banks, there are a lot of contents, and I will talk to you again after you recover from your injury. ”
Hu Guang thought about it, for the time being, if we want to get the bank up quickly, professional talents are indispensable. At present, the Ming people, to say that they are familiar with the banking business, others are really not good, only the training and training of the bank prototype of the bill number practitioners, in order to have twice the result with half the effort.
Indeed, as Hu Guang said before, Han Shengcai is very interested in finance, so when he heard Hu Guang say these words, he couldn't help but feel very itchy in his heart. From the emperor's naming, he can feel that the emperor attaches great importance to this content, and it seems that the emperor is also proficient in this matter. At this time, he wanted to know what the emperor would do with this bank?
However, the emperor is the emperor after all, and he is a criminal who has just been turned into a tainted witness, how can he be qualified to let the emperor tell him all his thoughts. The only way to get rid of it is to take care of your body as soon as possible and cooperate with the emperor to get rid of it...... You can only do it after you get rid of the Jin merchants.
As soon as he thought of this, Han Sheng couldn't help but think of Han Fan's family, what should I do?
Not to mention how entangled he was, just talk about how Hu Guang stayed alone in the imperial study after returning to the palace to consider digesting the news he heard.
To tell the truth, Hu Guang has indeed long considered that the Jin merchants have a community of interests. If you want to move Jin Shang, you must have a nest. But what he didn't expect was that the power of Jin Shang would be so huge. It seems that if you want to get rid of the Jin merchants, you must plan and then act. The prevailing situation is that those people do not know that they are ready to take them off, and they are in a state of open and dark enemies.
When you really start, you must have an army in your hands that can intimidate the locality. The prerequisite for this army is also loyalty. But now, it seems that there is none.
Hu Guang took a deep breath and calmed down a little impatient. This has to be done slowly, not in a hurry!
He was thinking about it when he suddenly heard a message from the chamberlain, saying that the eunuch Wang Dehua, the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, had asked for an audience.
When Hu Guang heard this, he knew that something was coming to him, so he summoned him.
After a while, I saw Wang Dehua personally come in with a bunch of concerts, and told Hu Guangyu: "Your Majesty, the General Administration Department sent a lot of concerts early this morning, which were basically handed over by officials at all levels in Beijing, and they were all the same. ”
