The third volume sailed in the Ming Dynasty

In the autumn of September, the weather in the north is gradually cooler.

The back garden of the Imperial City Palace, the shallow hills in the park are undulating, the terrain is vast, and the forest is lush.

Cedar, ginkgo, camphor, crape myrtle, and other trees are planted in the garden, and the forest is dotted with lawns, lotus ponds, pavilions, paths, and wild mountain forests.

Chongzhen stole half a day of leisure today, and was visiting the garden with Queen Zhou.

"This year's internal funds are abundant, and the amount of money in the palace can be increased as appropriate, and you have suffered all these years."

Money is a man's waist, and the same is true for emperors.

Tuo Qin Haoming and Jin Yiwei confiscated the blessing of the scholar Chen Yan, and now there are more than 10 million patterns of silver in the inner library, and Chongzhen feels that he has a lot of confidence.

"The concubine obeys! It's just that I don't know how the disaster is going this year, does the harem need disaster relief? ”

When it comes to most of the people in the harem, Queen Zhou naturally agrees. It's just that she is kind-hearted and always worried about the people.

"Although Henan, Hebei, and Shandong are all in drought this year, they have almost solved Qin Aiqing. Otherwise, where will I have leisure and the queen's garden? ”

The current situation is acceptable except for the north-west. Chongzhen carried his hands behind his back, a little complacent.

Empress Zhou smiled slightly, and no longer asked, the emperor had a rare moment of leisure, so he still accompanied him well.

"Your Majesty, Jinyi Wei Xu Hongxuan asked to see him."

At the corner of the courtyard, Wang Chengen told him from afar.

"Xuan!"

Xu Hongxuan, the pacification envoy, is Qin Haoming's personal guard, and Chongzhen has learned about it from Luo Yangxing's mouth, so he can't help but look at it differently.

"The last general will see the emperor! This is Qin Du's secret recital, please ask the emperor to read it. ”

Adjust his mentality, Xu Hongxuan finished the standard military salute, and handed over the sealed complete fold to Wang Chengen.

"Xue Guoguan's affairs will be handled by you and Jinyiwei, so let him kill himself. Wu Changshi was imprisoned and tried by Dali Temple. ”

Stopping Xu Hongxuan, who was about to turn around and leave, Chongzhen's tone was a little gloomy.

He originally wanted to spare Xue Guoguan's life and confiscate his property in Beijing. Who knew what happened next, it was really unexpected by his genius.

On the second day of Xue Guoguan's Zhishi, Wu Daozheng, the commander of the East Factory, exposed that Cai Yichen, Ding Wei's waiter at home, had offered bribes to Xue Guoguan.

Chongzhen remembered the old feelings and asked Xue Guoguan's confidant Yu Shi Xiong Mingyu to review the case and make a decision to punish him lightly, so that Xue Guoguan Zhishi could return to his hometown.

Du Yu Shi Xiong Mingyu can also understand the intention and fall lightly. It's just that after intervening in the investigation, it was found that it was actually Wu Chang, an official of the pedestrian department, who was to blame.

It turned out that when Xue Guoguan was the first assistant, it coincided with the regular assessment that decided his promotion, and Wu Changshi was afraid that Xue Guoguan would be jealous of his status as a reinstated company, so he would obstruct and suppress it.

So he went to the back door and bribed him heavily. Xue Guoguan pretended to be perfunctory, and promised that he would be ranked first in the assessment, and he could be promoted to the rank of official.

However, there are too many people who go through the back door, and the fat shortage is limited after all, so Xue Guoguan only arranged a head of the Ministry of Rites for Wu Changshi.

Wu Changshi held a grudge, so after Xue Guoguan was unlucky, he colluded with his close friend Wu Daozheng to expose the matter.

The agency was too clever and mistook Qingqing's life.

When he let his henchmen try the case and dig out Wu Chang, Xue Guoguan mistakenly thought that the emperor was quite kind to him.

When Zhi Shi left Beijing, he also put on a look of glory and glory, and the vehicles full of gold and silver treasures were endless, swaggering through the market.

After Wu Daozheng learned of this situation, he immediately arrested Xue Guoguan's cronies and forced him to confess to a series of incriminating evidence that Xue Guoguan had accepted bribes.

For a while, the city was full of storms, and things were out of control, and Emperor Chongzhen immediately ordered the arrest of Xue Guoguan.

Xue Guoguan, who was imprisoned, thought that he had a special relationship between Wen Tiren and Emperor Chongzhen, and he would definitely be able to be lightly released again, and he was still wandering leisurely in prison.

Knowing the situation, Emperor Chongzhen finally gave up on him, and was cold to the court ministers fighting each other.

I just saw Qin Haoming personally guarding Xu Hongxuan, so he had the intention of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, and simply let Qin Haoming become famous again.

Fight down Shousuke, and then be given death by his personal guards, I wonder what the courtiers will think?

"No, the last will obey!"

Xu Hongxuan was overjoyed, after this incident, Qin Du's reputation was afraid that it would go to the next level.

"Governor Qin actually took three secrets in one go, it seems that the emperor has no time to accompany his concubines to visit the garden."

Wang Chengen opened the fire paint, the three books came into view, the local governor Fu Mi played no trivial matter, Queen Zhou knew that her husband would definitely be busy, so she shook her head helplessly and prepared to retire.

"The queen is not in a hurry, wait a moment.

Qin Aiqing has always not let me worry about it, there is definitely no trouble, just read one copy per person, and continue to visit the garden quickly. ”

After Chongzhen finished speaking, he took the top fold at random and sat on the brocade pier to read it by himself.

"Emperor Qiqi, after many understandings and investigations by Weichen, the development process of Zheng Zhilong's power is as follows:

In the third year of the Apocalypse, Zheng Zhilong's forces had more than 700 ships, and the number of them was unknown.

In the first year of Chongzhen, Xiong Wencan, the governor of Fujian, appeased Zheng Zhilong, awarded the coastal defense guerrillas, and served as the five tiger coastal defense guerrilla generals.

Zheng Zhilong said that he took it as his responsibility to cut off the Yikou and suppress the thieves, led his troops to reduce the Ming, and left Taiwan, the maritime trade base he had operated for many years, and sat in the Fujian Sea.

At this time, Zheng Zhilong had more than 30,000 troops and more than 1,000 ships, and still led the original army to guard the coast for the imperial court to prevent pirates and Dutch attacks.

and led the army to crusade against other former sworn brother pirate forces, including Li Kuiqi, Zhong Bin, Liu Xiang and others.

In the sixth year of Chongzhen, Zheng Zhilong defeated the fleet of the Dutch East India Company in the Battle of Liuluo Bay, and since then he has controlled the sea routes and collected fees for merchant ships from various countries.

And became the lord and sea overlord of southern Fujian, and gave the Zheng family order flag to the merchant ships that paid the protection fee, and if they did not pay and wanted to pass through the Zheng Zhilong sea area, they would be plundered.

So far, the Zheng family has developed rapidly, selling foreign goods, domestic and foreign businessmen, all using the Zheng banner, and there is no one who does not follow. Although a ship collects 3,000 pieces of silver, the profits of maritime trade are quite large, and the merchants still have 20 times the profit.

Taking advantage of money, Zheng Zhilong made friends with the court magnates and local officials, and Fujian took the Zheng family as the Great Wall.

In addition, Zheng Zhilong's trade scope was wide in the East and Nanyang: Da Ni, Hunny, Champang, Luzon, Yonggang, Beigang, Dayuan, Hirado, Nagasaki, Mumbai, Banten, Old Port, Batavia, Malacca, Cambodia, Siam and other places.

According to Weichen's understanding, the Zheng family now has a strength of more than 200,000 people and more than 3,000 warships composed of large and small boats.

Weichen Qin Haoming bowed, wishing the emperor good health! ”

Chongzhen held the fold in his hand, looking at a sea of chrysanthemums in the distance, his mind was empty.

There are only more than 200,000 people, 3,000 warships, and the words "sea hegemon" are shaking.
