"Your Majesty, don't be impatient." Gao Yang smiled and said, "Da Ming has a royal law. Daming also has courtesy, righteousness and shame. Giving them a chance to turn themselves in is also considered to be a virtue of a good life. ”

Gao Yang's words sound good, but in fact, his plan is to use this way to persecute those smugglers. If anyone really turns himself in, then the family property will be confiscated, and the person will be sent to the mine to work as a coolie to atone for his sins. Although it is said that there is no future, no matter how you say it, you can still leave a life and live a longer life.

If the time comes, I'll be lucky. Then I'm embarrassed, I didn't even check all the people and family property. Gao Yang never planned to let them go. He just wanted to save some energy.

"This matter has all been handed over to the national teacher, and we must strictly investigate it to the end, and we will not let go of any of them!" Emperor Chongzhen finally restrained the anger in his heart and handed over the matter to Gao Yang to deal with. He knew in his heart that once Gao Yang got started, he would definitely not let go of these people easily.

There was silence in the hall, and all the ministers hung their heads and looked at their shoes with illusory eyes.

No one dared to speak out, and no one dared to answer Gao Yang's words. Although everybody took the money, and everybody knew about it. But being pressed under the surface of the water and being picked on are completely different things!

At this time, speaking out for those people doesn't directly indicate that you have received money? The emperor and the national teacher are all watching coldly, and no one will make themselves uncomfortable.

Gao Yang folded his arms around his chest, stood on his side, and gently shook one leg. The depths of his smiling eyes are full of coldness!

All the ministers in the hall were saved. They all speak of the traditional Ming scholars. Greed for ink and the acceptance of filial piety are as common to them as eating and drinking. Even if Gao Yang raises their salary on a large scale, it is the same.

For these people, Gao Yang no longer has hope. He has already arranged for a group of excellent biochemical warriors to serve as grassroots officials, and it will not be long before this group of people can quickly ascend to the throne. This group of biochemical warriors will not have all the drawbacks of the Ming scholars, and they will definitely take good care of the whole country. It doesn't matter if Gao Yang leaves in the future, because the General Staff, which is also controlled by the biochemical soldiers, will fully support them!

In the future, even the emperor will not be able to remove the status of these biochemical warriors. When these biochemical warriors grow old, the new talents cultivated by Gao Yang's schools in various places can take over.

The kind of poetry that used to be beautifully written. The way in which the article is gorgeous in the imperial examination to select talents will inevitably be completely smashed!

Practical competence and ethics are the only criteria! Can you recite poetry, can you recite all the words that the saints have said? None of that matters anymore.

The officials of the Ming Dynasty in the future. The most important thing is the actual ability! After all, by that time, the Ming Empire would have too many overseas territories. There will also be too many indigenous people.

It is estimated that the "Zhihu" will not be able to influence the bows and arrows and spears in the hands of the natives. Only iron-blooded means can safeguard the interests of the Ming Empire! This is what an officer should do.

......

"Bastard! Bastard!! Let me go! The fourth son of Daishan, Wakda, who is nearly forty years old, struggled to his body. The strong body writhed back and forth, almost throwing out the Han generals who were holding him.

The faces of several Han generals who took Wakda were slightly red, and a few people couldn't take down an unarmed entourage. Where does this leave their face? The palace guards next to him were watching.

A big Han general raised his saber in his hand with a cold face. With a flick of his hand, he threw the heavy scabbard on the back of Wakda's head.

"Boom!" There was a muffled sound, and after being hit hard, Wakda, who was shouting and scolding, fainted instantly, and his strong body was soft to the ground. The palace gate guards on the side felt painful to death.

"Alas~~~" Dai Shanchang, who was already in his sixties, sighed and slowly closed his cloudy eyes.

He really didn't expect that the Heavenly Empire would actually do such a thing? The two countries are at war without slashing!

"The Holy One said it. You're just a rebel, not an envoy. "These are the words of the Han general who came to arrest people.

Dai Shan's heart was full of misery. Not just for the sake of their own already predestined fate. He was even more worried about the future of the Manchus.

Now he is not even willing to talk about it, and Daming's intentions have been clearly revealed. This is the rhythm that wants to kill them all!

In the past, Dai Shan would never have cared about these things. Just hit it. However, now the Ming Dynasty suddenly emerged with an incomparably powerful army. And outside Ningyuan City, it showed its fierce combat effectiveness. Can't beat it at all!

I remembered the huge military camps that I had seen outside the capital city before, and I couldn't see the edge at a glance. Look at the countless blood-red, bright flags that hunted in the cold wind. Dai Shan, who has already seen through everything in the world, knows it very well in his heart. Daqing, it's going to be over.

Wait until the cold winter has passed and spring has sprouted. This army will inevitably move north to Shenyang. By that time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, who already had pots and jars that could not be shaken off, what could they do to resist this army? Is it burned with Shenyang City? Or throw away everything from all these years. Go back to the mountains and old forests of the far north to hunt again?

"Let's go!" Dai Shan is old, and he is still a righteous envoy. The Han generals did not tie him up with ropes, but only watched from the sidelines. Pushing his body, he walked in the direction of the prison.

The people who came with Dai Shan all hung their heads. An expression of a father's dead mother remarrying. These people are not stupid, who have been killing on both sides over the years, who has not had blood on their hands? Now that Daming has this attitude, the fate of these people can be imagined.

Dai Shan, who was pushed forward, struggled to turn his head and glanced at the majestic palace that was getting farther and farther away. The crimson walls were so unattainable in his eyes!

In his life, I'm afraid he won't have a chance to take a second look.

......

Northwest of Beijing, hundreds of miles away in Zhangjiakou, it was the middle of winter at this time. Outside the wall, the snow was fluttering, and as far as the eye could see, there was a white expanse everywhere.

For a long time, it was an important gateway for Ming smugglers to trade with Manchurian and Mongolian countries in the north. In the past, when Huang Taiji entered the customs, all the Great Wall passes around him had been beaten, but he had not attacked here.

There are many shops here in Zhangjiakou. The people prospered, and the silver and all kinds of goods were innumerable. With the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he has never seen the poor character of money. Just letting go of such a large piece of fat is already very telling.

Some time ago, Li Zicheng's army occupied the area around Xuanfu. The merchants of Zhangjiakou offered large sums of silver. Bought off the guards and turned a blind eye to their smuggling deals. Although the banner on the city has changed, business is still going on.

And after Gao Yang regained the front line of Xuanda with a large army, before these merchants raised money to find Gao Yang's filial piety, Gao Yang had already returned to Beijing.

When they took the silver to the Xuanfu to find the biochemical warrior general who was in charge of guarding the town, they asked for more attention. The results can be imagined.

Not long after these people were blasted out of Xuanfu, Gaoyang's border blockade order arrived. No one, whether it is a relative of the emperor or ordinary people, is not allowed to step out of the side wall. Nothing, whether iron, copper, or stitches, is not allowed to be transported out of the side wall.

The people stationed here now are not the Ming troops who have already been fed in the past. Stationed here are the recruits in the new barracks who have not been selected by several field units. Although they were not selected for the elite field troops. But he is also an excellent soldier who came out of the recruit camp with passing grades.

What can be done and what cannot be done. After coming here, the dozen or so good heads that were cut off for violating military discipline and hung on the city wall have been reminding all the recruits. The smuggler's business was cut off in an instant.

There is a richly decorated teahouse in Zhangjiakou, a warm private room with a heating stove on the second floor. Several famous businessmen in Zhangjiakou are gathering here to discuss information from the north.

"Have you heard? That Second Belle was arrested in the Jingshi. Just waiting to ask for a cut. A middle-aged man with a big belly, fair skin, and a heavy fur coat took a sip from his teacup and said softly.

"Hmm." Sitting next to him, an old man in gorgeous clothes who was over sixty years old, with a wrinkled face and extremely white and tender skin, answered, and then said, "The national teacher said that we should go to the government mansion and surrender within ten days, what do you think?" ”

"That's! What are we who are the widows? Say turn yourself in? It's insane! A merchant in fancy clothes with a glass of warm wine yelled angrily.

"Don't worry, shopkeeper Wang. We are gathered here today to discuss how to deal with this matter. If scolding is useful, let's still drink here with stuffy wine? The middle-aged man in a fur coat put down the teacup in his hand, squinted his eyes, and said coldly.

The middle-aged man who was called the king's shopkeeper raised his head and drank the warm wine from the celadon wine glass in his hand. raised his hand and wiped the corners of his mouth, looked at the old man who was silent on the side, and gasped and said, "Old man Qiao, that national teacher is not a good character. With thousands of troops and horses in his hands, it is not rare for us to have silver. If he really wants to move us, we can't bear it. Everyone has always looked forward to your old man's horse, how do you think about this matter? ”

The old man Qiao, who had always looked unwavering, raised his eyelids, looked around at the few people present with a cold gaze, and said indifferently, "The king is in charge, if you really say so." After I have an idea, will the big guy really listen to me? ”

"Of course!" The shopkeepers present hurriedly responded to the peace.

Among the people who do business with the north, this old man Qiao has always been the leader. His business is the biggest, and behind him is the sky!

Old Man Qiao has contact with all the adults in the court, and several big eunuchs in the palace. He was even able to speak directly to the Great Chief of Jianyu. On the one-acre and three-point land of Xuanfu, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the hands and eyes that reach the sky.

These people are gathered today to discuss this fateful event for them! (To be continued)
