Wang Chengen hunched his waist and said carefully: "I want to come...... It has something to do with Yuan Chonghuan's killing of Mao Wenlong. The rebels were all Mao Shuai's old Liaodong department, presumably to avenge Mao Shuai. ”

"This Yuan manzi, why did I believe him in the first place? It's so cheap for him. Chongzhen hated and said: "Even if you die, you will give me a trouble." ”

Chongzhen completely forgot how excited he was when Yuan Chonghuan said "five years of Pingliao", and how he regarded Yuan Chonghuan as the pillar of the country.

"The Shandong rebellion, under the banner of 'exterminating evil spirits', seems to be avenging Mao Shuai, but in fact it is to improve its own situation." Wang Chengen peeked at Chongzhen and said boldly: "All the officials in Shandong have crowded out the old department of Liaodong, especially Zhu Dadian. But there is one official...... It should be said that the rebels ......"

Wang Chengen is very conflicted.

Taizu erected a stone monument that "eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics", and Wang Chengen was in favor of it. The Ming Dynasty caused countless disasters due to eunuch interference. The change of civil fort caused by Wang Zhen's dictatorship was a turning point in the Ming Dynasty from prosperity to decline.

Wang Chengen, as a eunuch with a high position of power, but he never dictated power and listened to the opinions of the emperor and ministers in everything.

Now to Emperor Chongzhen on the situation in Shandong, firstly, for the sake of Xu Bachelor (Xu Guangqi), secondly, Wang Chengen really does not want to see the future become more and more erosive. If the situation in Shandong can be resolved peacefully, Wang Chengen is willing to bear any charges.

"Oh?" Chongzhen was a little surprised and asked, "Which minister is it?" ”

"Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai." After Wang Chengen finished speaking, he deliberately looked at Chongzhen's face.

"Governor Denglai?" Chongzhen's face showed no anger, and he rarely showed contemplation.

………………

The Shandong rebels are huge, and there is a great opportunity to sweep the Shandong Peninsula as soon as the time comes. Zhu Dadian and other court officials cowered in the city of Jinan, and the Ming army also did not dare to go out of the city, but only dared to defend the city.

There is also news that Jiannu has once again sent troops to plunder the Ming Dynasty, and the front is directed at Jinan, and the forward has arrived in Dezhou, and will cross the river in a few days and invade Jinan.

The land of Shandong is even more noisy, the grass and trees are all soldiers, and there is a sense that the sky will change if you are not careful.

At the foot of Tiangu Mountain, Zhu Shunming, Peng Yulin, Peng Canglang, Sun Yuanhua, Kong Youde, Li Jiucheng, Geng Zhongming and others gathered together, talking and laughing, very harmonious.

The initiator who made a mess of the land of Shandong did not feel nervous at all, but enjoyed the rare sunlight in winter very comfortably.

Sun Yuanhua said happily: "The letter from the teacher (Xu Guangqi) has promised to recruit everyone, and the old man will be exempted from prison and demoted to the prefect of Dengzhou. Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to wrap up. ”

Sun Yuanhua didn't care at all about the tense situation in Shandong created by Zhu Shunming, Kong Youde and others, and he didn't accuse them like a pedantic.

For a pragmatic official like Sun Yuanhua, as long as things can be done, it doesn't matter how he gets them.

Kong Youde admired the young Zhu Shunming very much.

Before this, Kong Youde had never heard of the name Zhu Shunming, and he couldn't imagine that there would be an army with such strong strength.

Kong Youde has fought countless battles with Jiannu and knows Jiannu's super individual combat ability. When it comes to the formation, Jiannu is really too far behind the Ming army.

However, Zhu Shunming's army, which was small in number, was not only fierce in individual combat, but also skilled in technology and tactics, and the formation was multiplied and powerful. What is particularly terrifying is that Changshawei's naval army has a powerful earth-shattering thunder that can directly blast the enemy to pieces.

Where did the army of terror come from?

Thinking of Zhu Shunming's disrespect for Daming, thinking of Zhu Shunming's black hand to Daming, Kong Youde was sincerely relieved.

If only I could fight back to Liaodong. Let the damned Jiannu taste the power of thunder, and blast the evil Jiannu into slag.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you will soon return to the Ming Dynasty government, and the matter of Dengzhou will be entrusted to you."

Zhu Shunming sat in the first place, Sun Yuanhua with a white beard, Kong Youde with a dark face, Li Jiucheng with vicissitudes of life, and Geng Zhongming with stubbornness sat at the bottom, not abrupt at all, which shows that Zhu Shunming's aura has subdued the unruly people here.

"Dengzhou needs to develop, and it needs its own blood supply, rather than relying on external help." Zhu Shunming said to Sun Yuanhua: "There is a gold mine in Dengzhou, as long as it is properly excavated, it is enough to support the development of Dengzhou." ”

"There's a gold mine in Dengzhou?" Sun Yuanhua was surprised: "Why doesn't the old man know? ”

"Fukuyama Salt Works." Zhu Shunming said the ultimate goal of this northward trip.

"Fukuyama Salt Works?" Sun Yuanhua said disappointedly: "The output of Fushan Salt Farm is large, but what is the use of not being able to sell it?" and it cannot be eaten as food. ”

Located in the northeast of the Shandong Peninsula, the Fushan Salt Field is the largest salt production in Shandong. However, due to the suppression of Yangzhou salt merchants, Shandong salt not only could not get out of Shandong, but even the salt sales in Shandong were encroached upon by Jianghuai salt.

The Fushan salt farm has empty production capacity, but it can't sell products, the salt farmers are so poor that they sell their daughters-in-law and children, and all those who have a little way have fled, and the salt farm is about to fall into ruin.

"I eat all the salt produced in the salt farm, and I will trade it in cash, and I will never be in arrears for one or two taels of salt per load."

"Really?" Sun Yuanhua's eyes lit up.

"No jokes."

Salt and grain are the two commodities that Zhu Shunming manipulated the situation in the Ming Dynasty.

The country is people-oriented, and the people are food-oriented. If we control food, we will control the hearts of the people, manpower, the maximum productive forces, and the greatest force.

Yanzheng was the largest revenue of the imperial court during the Ming Dynasty, especially during the Chongzhen period. If the roots of the salt government are dug up, the Ming dynasty will be even more dilapidated. The world is in chaos, so you can fish in troubled waters.

Zhu Shunming's huge plan, starting from causing the price of grain in Jiangnan skyrocketed, went north to Shandong to find a new salt production area, and then prepared to dump Shandong salt at low prices in Jiangnan, Huguang, Jiangxi, Anhui and other places, and tried his best to crack down on the salt policy of the Ming Dynasty.

"General Kong, you continue to contact the old department of Liaodong, train the soldiers and horses hard, and don't make trouble. One day, we will fight back to Liaodong. The day won't be long. ”

It is unbelievable that there were less than 200,000 soldiers in armor who built slaves, and actually defeated the Ming Dynasty, which had millions of troops, and swept away millions of peasant armies such as Li Zicheng and were able to enter the Central Plains.

If Zhu Shunming wants to compete in the world and win the Central Plains, he can't ignore Jiannu. He has been brewing a big plan, once implemented, he can beat Jiannu back to its original form in one battle, and completely return to his hometown in the ice and snow.

"Really?" Kong Youde and the others were surprised and delighted. Go back to your hometown, go back to your hometown, the black land in your dreams, your father and mother in your dreams......

………………

The situation in Shandong is eroding faster and recovering faster.

The holy decree was sent to Jinan, and Zhu Dadian was removed from his post and escorted back to Beijing; Jin Guoqi was arrested by Jinyiwei and could not escape the fate of beheading; Sun Yuanhua offended his merits and demerits, did not reward or punish, and still served as his governor of Denglai; Kong Youde and others were recruited, and the officials were awarded the positions of Dengzhou General Soldier and Laizhou General Soldier.

And Zhu Shunming, the black hand who set off the huge waves in Shandong and swept a large number of officials into the wave, waved his sleeves and took away only a boatload of snow-white salt.
