ā¦ā¦
The Intelligence Department sent a thick amount of love information, and everyone passed it on, and the sound of cold air in the hall was heard one after another.
I don't know if I don't know it, but I was shocked when I saw it, but everyone was mentally prepared, and when they saw all kinds of information and lists, many people still had trembling hands.
The power of profiteers is too great, and the officials and generals who collude with it are too great, so to speak, Xuanda Sanzhen, more than ninety percent of the officials and generals, all kinds of powerful and powerful, all have a relationship with them, especially close to the cities and forts outside the fortress, not to mention 100 percent, nine out of nine, all have the crime of fornication, and have been bought by everyone.
The border army system of the Ming Dynasty is to serve as the generals of each battalion with the officials of the guards, these generals, hereditary from generation to generation, from generation to generation, hundreds of years, deep-rooted in the local power, and foreign trade is one of their most important sources of wealth.
It can be said that among the border towns, the most heinous performance is the martial arts, civil officials and eunuchs, after all, they all have a term of office, and they generally have to be transferred after a few years.
In addition to the warrior family, there are also local gentry, merchants, mine owners and other powerful people, close to the border plug, fornication and mutual trade, which is also one of their most important sources of wealth.
These people, like those profiteers, also have complex interests involved.
And the profiteers and the big families, the same huge power, in Shanxi, not to say 100%, more than ninety percent of the officials and generals, and they have a stake, out of the territory, in the Ming Dynasty, there is also a huge network of relations.
And also. These businessmen are strong, and many families are vigorously cultivating scholars to make their own families. There are eunuchs and eunuchs, forming a privileged class above the world.
For example, the cabinet is the first assistant to the high arch, and the ancestral home is Hongdong, Shanxi. Zhang Siwei, the first assistant of the cabinet, was born in Yuncheng, Shanxi Province, and has a strong background as a salt merchant. Wang Chonggu, the governor of Xuanda, is also a native of Yuncheng, Shanxi, and has a strong background as a salt merchant.
Then, Zhang Siwei married Yang Bo, Wang Guoguang and others, and pushed them to the position of the secretary of the ministry and the secretary of the household, both of which were born in merchant families.
Again. Wang Chonggu's father Wang Yao, uncle Wang Xian, eldest brother Wang Chongyi, younger brother Wang Chongxun, uncle Shen Tingzhen, brother-in-law Shen Jiang and others are also businessmen, Zhang Siwei's father Zhang Yunling, uncle Zhang Yaoling, younger brother Zhang Sijiao, father-in-law Wang En and others are also Jin merchants.
Then, Zhang Siwei married Wang Chonggu again. Zhang Siwei's mother is Wang Chonggu's second sister, and Wang Chonggu's eldest sister is married to Shen Jiang, the eldest son of Shen Tingzhen, a salt merchant who lives in Puzhou, and Zhang Siwei's three younger daughters-in-law are from the Wang, Li and Fan families, which are Shanxi giants at that time.
Zhang Siwei's daughter-in-law, and the granddaughter of Yang Pu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Zhang Siwei's daughter, and married Ma Chun, the son of the cabinet minister Ma Ziqiang, Ma Ziqiang's brother Ma Zixiu, and a famous Shaanxi businessman.
Such a complex relationship is enough to dizzy people's heads, the big families established by in-laws, the combination of politics and business, in the field of business warfare and government affairs, are easy and invincible, there have been imperial history impeachment of Wang Chonggu, Zhang Siwei, etc., saying that the salt law is bad, and it is bound to run rampant in the patent of the big business.
These are all counted in the background of the Jin merchants, their hands stretched out in all directions, in the Ming Dynasty, there are a network of stakeholds, it can be said that one side is suffering, all sides support, and other places are in trouble, they support.
Historically, when the Donglin Party put forward a tax strike proposal, the Jin merchants responded en masse, and there were Tiqi to Suzhou to arrest Zhou Shunchang, the leader of the Donglin Party, and Zhang Guoji, a Jin merchant in Suzhou at the time, contacted the merchants and prepared to bribe Tiqi to avoid Zhou Shunchang suffering.
Of course, at the same time, the various merchant groups will also fight endlessly for local interests.
For example, when Longqing negotiated peace, Wang Chonggu, Zhang Siwei, and allies Zhang Juzheng, represented by the Jin Shang family, strongly opposed the tough military propositions of Wu Shangxian, Ye Mengxiongren, etc., and strongly advocated a good alliance with Mongolia instead of war.
With such a huge network of forces and relationships, it is no wonder that everyone has no fear and does not take Wang Dou in their eyes.
Of course, thinking deeply, the Fan family, the Wang family, the Jin family and others are not the spokespersons of their interests? During the business war, there were these officials and businessmen who expressed sympathy for Fan Yongdou and others.
"There are too many traitors, I really have to act according to the old rules of the East Road, I am afraid that the officials and generals of the entire Shanxi will be killed......"
Putting down the love text in his hand, Zhong Xiancai said worriedly, obviously worried about Wang Dou.
If you really do this, no matter how you justify it, those who have ulterior motives can claim that Wang Dou is rebelling, and immediately become a rebel and thief, and lose his righteous name.
Also, there are all the royal families, such as the kings, dukes, marquis, uncles and other noble royal families of the royal family, the Ming Dynasty raised the vassal king as a pig, so under boredom, the children of the royal family, in addition to vigorously building offspring, is pervasive to make money, Xuanda has a lot of industries, they have their share, and what to participate in smuggling is a trivial matter.
The long history of the palaces, the east and west worship divisions, companions, and school captains, are also closely colluding with each of them, and they really want to kill the vassal king?
After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, especially during the Wanli period, the private minting of copper coins was rampant, and there were two Beijing and provincial government money bureaus, which also wantonly minted private coins.
Most of these private money are in the hands of eunuchs or powerful nobles and warriors, and a large amount of light and inferior money is mixed into official money to make profits.
If this is the case, Wang Dou is the life-and-death enemy of countless people and countless privileged classes, and perhaps many gentry officials will regard Wang Dou as a more terrible enemy than thieves and thieves.
After that, if you are careless and make a mistake, you will have no bones and the whole clan will be wiped out.
Gao Shiyin snorted, stood up and said, "Even if you kill everything, what?" In this world, who is the opponent of our Jingbian Army? Instead of leaving those filthy things in trouble, it's better to kill them all now. ā
He said: "As the general said back then, only the power of thunder can break through the clouds." It is also proclaimed that it is bright and bright. ā
Shen Shiqi immediately stood up and shouted, "Yes, the last general agrees with Big Brother Gao's opinion." ā
Han Chao and Wen Fangliang both shook their heads. Praise painting Qin Yi said: "Absolutely not. ā
He got up and saluted: "General, if you have a good name, you can't speak well, and now the general is just the general of Xuanzhen, and it is not appropriate to stretch out his hand to cross the line." lest they be fouled and increased the suspicion of the saints. ā
He said: "You can't become a fat man by eating in one bite, and you can do a big thing." In the future, you can slowly figure it out, and the thing in front of you is to narrow down the scope, only targeting Fan, Kang and other traitors, as well as some of their backstage forces, to run Xuanzhen well, and then try to achieve the same. Shanxi's affairs don't have to be anxious. ā
Ye Xizhi also stood up and said: "The students agree with Qin Zanhua's proposal, everyone collaborates with the enemy and betrays the country, this is a matter of conclusive evidence. They conspire to deal with the East Road, and we will fight back, as a matter of course, as for the rest of the traitors, it will not be too late to deal with them in the future, they have the handle to fall into our hands, and they can advance and retreat freely. ā
He was in high spirits, Feng Dachang fell, Zhong Zhengxian will be transferred to the shogunate, the head of the Baoan Prefecture Officials' Office, his voice is very loud, and he will take over in the future and show what he has learned.
Wen Fangliang looked at the information in his hand: "It is only for everyone, and it is also difficult, their forces can be said to be all over Shanxi and Daming, this East Road business war, there are also many people who jump out to support, and those who are directly implicated are dozens of civil and military generals, businessmen and strong people." If the general does something to them, public opinion outside the town will also be unfavorable to us, after all, these officials and businessmen are the best at reversing black and white. ā
Wang Dou paced back and forth in the hall and asked Wen Daxing, the ambassador of the Intelligence Department: "Can the Intelligence Department distribute leaflets and expose the true features of the thieves colluding with the Tartars, fornicating with the outside world, and lurking spies, what is the reaction of all parties?" ā
Wen Fangliang said: "The propaganda department has already gone out in all directions, in Gyeonggi, Baoding, Zhending, Xuanda, and even to Henan, Huguang, Jiangnan and other places, distributing a large number of leaflets. ā
"Some of the officials in Beijing have been impeached for this reason, and they are called ...... The general is bold and reckless, greedy and domineering, and after making a mess of the Beijing Division, he wants to harm the place, and he is the great thief of the country. ā
Everyone in the hall is angry, these officials and imperial histories seem to be against the generals, they are really not afraid of death, and they are too shameless, selectively neglecting, and they have reached the point of reaching the peak.
Wang Dou just nodded, and the reaction of all parties, as he expected, was like fans and supporters in later generations, or political parties competing with each other, they have always been selective about their own advantages and ignoring their disadvantages.
You just throw the evidence in his face, and it says one, and he will read it as two on purpose.
It is impossible to persuade people with different positions, especially those with special interests, and they just want to be famous and famous.
Seeing that he was just pacing, at this time Han Chao also said: "Governor Xuanda, Governor Xuanzhen, Governor Datong, and other military gates such as Ji, Zhu, and Wei are also in a hurry to the east road to exterminate the profiteers, which involves a lot, I am afraid that it will be difficult for them to make up their minds, and they may try to dissuade them." ā
"Yang Dashuai, maybe there are different opinions."
Everyone, you say a word, the atmosphere in the hall is solemn, no more than the East Road incident back then, killing everyone is indeed not a trivial matter, you need to be cautious.
Wang Dou asked Wen Daxing: "Where are the traitors who are responsible for specific affairs, Fan Sanba, and others?" ā
Wen Daxing replied: "They all fled outside the eastern road in a hurry, but their every move was under the surveillance and control of the Intelligence Department. ā
Wang Dou said lightly: "It's okay, they can't escape." ā
He snorted coldly: "Fan Sanba, there was his participation in the East Road incident back then, and this time he reverted to his old ways?" I really don't know whether to live or die! ā
Looking at the people in the hall, Wang Dou smiled slightly, and he said: "All the clowns who jump off the beam, bring disaster to the country and the people, but they think that they are powerful and powerful, and they can cover the sky with one hand, and they can have no fear, but in fact, they are all strong and stubble, in my heart, they are just this." ā
He stretched out his little finger and shook it, and then slanted down, and everyone in the hall let out a burst of laughter, saying that the general was a metaphorical image.
Wang Dou continued: "What about their power and deep connections? Think you're okay if you're not in Xuanzhen? Not to mention that they are hiding in Datong, Shanxi and other places, and dare to harm the East Road, even if they flee to Jiangnan, they will be arrested! ā
His expression slowly turned stern: "Yes, in this operation, only the major profiteers were arrested, and the verdict was announced in a public trial...... By the way, they will confiscate their family property, and they will not be involved in anything else for the time being, and then the army of the three towns will act together and send troops to Zhangjiakou, Jiexiu, Datong, Taigu, Taiyuan, Pingyang and other places in the profiteers' nest! ā
"When acting, you must strictly enforce military discipline, do not harass and plunder places, and also supervise the friendly troops of Yuzhen......"
"Of course, when arresting and raiding homes, if there are those who resist, resist, or obstruct, they will all be killed, down to the common people, their soldiers, generals, officials, cabinet ministers, and Jin kings, who dare to stop in front of the army, will all be killed with guns and stabbed to death!"
Everyone in the hall looked excited, and Wang Dou continued: "As for the military sects of Ji and Zhu, I will try my best to persuade them, obtain their consent, and it is best to act together, and I will also pass the message to the governor of Shanxi and the general army......"
He snorted: "If they don't agree, they don't have to pay attention to it." ā
Everyone was stunned, they had never heard of the United Nations.
However, seeing that the general continued to speak, they hurriedly listened attentively.
Looking at everyone, Wang Dou's expression at this time seemed to be thinking about something, and he quickly returned to coldness: "Everyone, this world is very big, very exciting, there are too many things to do, our life is too short, all the Jin merchants, and those bureaucratic scum, just clowns, such goods, we are not worth spending too much effort on them, wasting too much energy, in the shortest speed, the most thorough way, to flatten it!" 10,000 years is too long, seize the day! ā
He shouted: "The time of action is set for the 14th, and a total of more than 20,000 troops from the three towns will be dispatched to participate, and their blood will be used to break through this haze and clouds!" ā
Everyone in the hall stood up enthusiastically, and the big scene was coming again.
Praise and painting Qin Yiren and others also put their minds at ease, just dealing with profiteers, it is indeed a good strategy at this time, and the backlash is slightly smaller. At the same time, everyone felt that the general's words were full of philosophy all the time, and they always gained something.
Zhong Xiancai put down his cloak and looked at Wang Dou, his eyes flashed a few times.
In the end, Wang Dou looked at Wen Daxing: "Before the action, first arrest Fan Sanba and the others, the business war is over, they are already worthless, hmph, after the disaster of the East Road place, you still want to swagger away?" No way! (To be continued.) )
