With Tian Hongyu ordered to go to Liaodong to farm, and asked about the méng ancients, Yang Reform is also a lot of peace of mind, judging from all aspects of the information, the méng ancients are afraid that they will no longer have the opportunity to argue with themselves, and after Jin Xi, the méng ancients will become a history.

Speaking of which, Yang Gaicao's heart is much better, Sun Chengzong seems to be a little more relaxed, and the huge pressure finally seems to have been relieved.

"Your Majesty, since the ancient people can no longer turn over, what about the Shanxi Jin merchant case?" Bei Chengzong may have thought of something and asked. This question is also a part of Méng's ancient war strategy.

Only...... No, don't rush to close the case for the time being, let's let those people drag it until next year, at least we have to wait until the east and west to escape, and then we can talk about it, at this time, it's better to close the case early, the sword, it's better to hang over those people's heads" Yang Gai thought about it and said.

"Obey the order!" Sun Chengzong replied solemnly, the danger of this matter, in fact, is no less than his war with shoes in the Sancha River, although there is no head-to-head competition on the side of the Méng ancients, but in fact, the thoughts of the méng ancients are no less than those on the shoes, there is no big war, there is no major conflict, everything is quiet, silently happening, others can't see through what is happening here, but it is a bit of a good fighter without the meaning of great achievements.

In fact, it is not entirely true to say that it is the Jin merchants, but in fact, there are border generals in it, and the border Jiangmen group is mixed in it, otherwise it is impossible to make the transaction so big with only a few businessmen. The Ming Dynasty opened the country and set the system of military households, and the border passes were guarded by many border generals, and after two hundred years of intermarriage, the border generals gradually developed a relatively broad interest group called "Jiangmen". The more famous Jiangmen include the ancestral family of Zu Dashou, the Wu family of Wu Sangui, and Li Chengliang, who are also representatives of the Jiangmen Group.

The survival of these Jiangmen groups depends on the imperial court to allocate money, the second is to farm by themselves, and the third is to rely on sī, which is basically these routines, and they live a good life, and they are not so rich, and the rumors in history such as the self-respect of the Jiangmen group are not completely unfounded. The income from farming is limited, and there is a limit to walking, after all, there is a regular horse market, and relying on the imperial court to allocate silver, it is obvious that it is one of the ways to ask the court for silver.

The Shanxi Jin Shang case is not only an introduction to Wenchen's knife, but in fact, it can be regarded as an introduction to the border gate Jiangmen group secretly, and it is also a knife to deal with the Méng ancients. This is also the reason why Yang Gaicui insisted on handing over the right to handle the case to the Three Law Divisions, and even gave the people of the Three Law Divisions the status of Qin Cha. In fact, the role is here, borrowing Wenchen and the hands of the three law divisions to suppress the Jiangmen group, so that they do not dare to participate in the sī easily, at least in a short period of time, during the Shanxi Jin Shang case, they do not dare to go sī easily, so as to buy time for Yang Gaicui to cultivate the imperial army and disintegrate the méng ancients.

Wenchen's natural distrust and natural suppression of the military generals made the border generals' Jiangmen group dare not act rashly during the Jin Shang Tong Capture Case. For example, if you don't dare to easily commit a crime against the wind, at least during the period when the case is not concluded, you don't dare to easily participate in the crime. This cuts off the possibility that the Jiangmen group is involved in going sī and leaking information. After all, compared with the hereditary official position, the profit of the sī is not so big as to make people give up the hereditary official position, not to mention that under such high pressure, if there is a life to earn, there must be a life. Therefore, the Jin Shang Tongju case has not been concluded, which is why the case has not been concluded, and there has been no rumor of taking away sī, and the gang of the Three Law Divisions will open their eyes wide and grasp the current situation, and they will toss, they will not wave, and Yang Reform will also let them toss.

As long as the Jiangmen group does not dare to participate in the sī easily, whether it is the sī channel leading to the east, or the sī channel leading to the méng ancients, it can also be curbed by the basic well, which depends on the strategy of the imperial army to eat the blood of the méng ancients, which can be realized, otherwise, it is undoubtedly a joke to rely on the emperor's next decree not to take the sī, and only by not allowing others to do business to prevent the sī. Otherwise, it is undoubtedly a joke to say that the huge border line prevents others from taking sī, and it is also a joke to say that it relies on trade privileges to raise the imperial army. ,

This is also the reason why the Three Law Divisions are so beautiful in Shanxi now, and it is also the willingness of the people of the Three Law Divisions to go for several months and still investigate the case, because the emperor has no intention of closing the case at all, and if he wants to close the case, at least the people of the Three Law Divisions must support the formation of the imperial alliance army system, and the victory or defeat of the war with the Dongyu can be determined. By that time, Yang Reform no longer cared about the Bianjiang Group, and the Méng ancients even held up the fallen leaves in autumn. When the time comes, follow Houjin and sweep all the way, whether it is Lin Dan Khan, the méng ancients on the grassland, is it still like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, sweeping it clean? Since the entire grassland outside the gate is his own, why do he still have to put a lot of money on the defense line of the Great Wall? Why do you care about those generals? Why worry about them going sī and worry that they won't be able to guard the border well? Why worry about their self-respecting thieves?

At that time, the frontier of the Ming Dynasty was no longer the line of the Great Wall.

In Yang Gaicui's view, every year huā has so much money to maintain the defense line of the Great Wall, and is always worried that someone will knock on the pass, it is better to still huā so much money and push the frontier of the Ming Dynasty to Central Asia, anyway, it is huā so much money, and it is always good to have an extra piece of land, and once the system of the imperial army is established, relying on the imperial alliance system, constantly relying on the privilege of trade to expand the territory, and sucking blood from others, it is far better than guarding the Great Wall.

By that time, the new army had already risen, and through mules and horses, it was already possible to achieve mobile defense, and there was no need to defend the line of the Great Wall so strictly.

With the development and colonial policies that followed, the harvested land outside the customs was firmly grasped, and after a few decades of expansion, the Ming Dynasty had entered the era of industrialization, and the nightmare of the grassland people to the farming people would be completely ended, and the so-called territorial limitations of the feudal era would also be broken.

In other words, the Shanxi Jin Shang case "is not only an introduction to the salt merchants: it is also a sharp blade to disintegrate the border generals and Jiangmen group: it is also a sharp sword hanging over the head of the border general group: it is also a sharp blade to disintegrate the méng ancients." Of course, there is another major premise for the dismantling of the Jiangmen Group, that is, the silver of the Jiangmen Group cannot be broken, so Yang Gaicui has never been less than those people have a penny of silver, except for the silver that should be given, what cotton clothes, what new weapons, and they have never been short of them, no matter whether there is a thief or not, Yang Gaicui can only let things go according to his own script, and he can't let people lead the way.

As for why the people of the Three Law Divisions were able to handle a case for a few months without finishing it, it was actually simple: "This case originally involved a wide range of people, in addition to Shanxi, but also involved border generals, and even Shanhaiguan, Liaodong, Shaanxi, and even Jiangnan have a relationship.

This matter, know "very few, don't Chengzong see the emperor say so, but also the heart of the leader of the association should be inherited, since this is the case, then the Shanxi Jin merchant case, it has to be handled, the three law division of the gang, now, by virtue of the identity of a messenger, in Shanxi is to be served well, send that, send this, but have a lot of fun, okay, let you play for a while.

This Mu Nuan Pavilion was eerily quiet for a while.

"Your Majesty, Lei Dayong, Shang Ke is happy, does Your Majesty want to see you?" Wang Chengen came in again to report.

"Oh, they're here!" Then call them in. Yang Gaicao said, his mood at this time was already better, thinking that he had successfully suppressed the Méng ancients, and the Méng ancients were about to become history, Yang Gaicui felt a sense of accomplishment.

, "Chen Lei Dayong knocks to see Your Majesty!" ”

, "The minister is still happy to knock on Your Majesty!" ”

The two men kowtowed in unison.

"Get up! Yang Gaicao said loudly.

, "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen! The two of them thanked each other in unison.

"I should know what it is that I have called you today, right?" Yang Gaicao smiled and said straight to the point.

"Back to Your Majesty, but it's a matter of the Ryukyu Kingdom?" Lei Dayong said, this matter has just been decided, in fact, it is not, it should be said that it was decided last year.

"Yes, I am going to send you to the Wa Kingdom, one is to help the Ryukyu return to the country, and the other is to help the leader of the Yi people to have a son. Yang Gai said with a smile, this is all on the surface.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the minister promises to live up to the grace of God, please rest assured." Shang Kexi and Lei Dayong said at the same time, they knew about this matter, and it was already a public matter. ,

"Big friend, go and see, outside the door and under the window, don't let people listen to the corner." When Yang Reform said this, he said to Wang Chengen again, this matter is quite secret, and you can't say it in code, you can only say it clearly, and if you say it clearly, you have to clear the scene.

"Slave obeys!" Wang Chengen knew what the emperor meant, and quickly went to work.

After a while, Wang Chengen came back and reported, "Your Majesty, it's all right." ”

Seeing that the venue had been cleared, Yang Gaicui was ready to start talking about business.

"I wonder if you two are worthy of my trust?" Yang Gaicui became serious and asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the minister swears to serve Your Majesty, please believe in Your Majesty." The two men said again.

"Okay, I have always believed in you and treated you as confidants, and now I want you to do this, I don't know if you can do it." Yang Gai said again.

"Please give your Majesty an order, and the ministers are willing to die!" The two of them said majestically, without fear at all, and heard the emperor say that they were confidants, which was quite a glorious thing.

"That's the case, Zheng Zhilong, you should have heard of it, right?" Yang Gaicao frowned, trying to organize his words so that the two guys could understand what they meant.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has heard that he used to be a pirate, and later he was appeased by His Majesty and served as a guerrilla ...... in Fujian," the two agreed.

"Well, it's good to know!" Zheng Zhilong was also vigorously appeased by me, and this time you go to help Ryukyu restore the country, and you may join forces with him. Yang Gai said.

"Obey the order!" The two replied again, Zheng Zhilong's matter, they naturally heard about it, and they originally looked down on Zheng Zhilong's background, but they were also vigorously appeased by the emperor, and that was the emperor's person, no matter what, they were also their own people, and they also had to give some face, saying that they joined forces with Zheng Zhilong, and the two did not show abnormal Yan sè "They have been dealing with Zheng Zhilong for a long time, in fact, it has been a long time, when they received the ship in Jiangnan Shipyard, half of it was for them, and half of it was for Zheng Zhilong, so they naturally knew Zheng Zhilong's status in the emperor's mind.

"These are all things on the surface" There is one thing, I will explain to you now, you must do it well, and you must not leak half a word, if you leak the secret, I treasure wants to call him five thunders, can you do it? Yang Gaicui explained the prelude and said that this is the most important thing, and his expression is extremely serious.

The two of them glanced at each other, and were shocked by the seriousness in the emperor's eyes, what is the matter, let the emperor value it like this? In their eyes, "the emperor is an omnipotent god-man, even to heaven, what else can be difficult for the emperor?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister can do it!" The first to speak, but it is still gratifying, after all, there are more things experienced, "I am older, I am the first to come back to my senses, and there is not too much nonsense", and I did not swear a poisonous oath, it is a simple sentence that can be done, full of perseverance and self-confidence.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister can do it!" Lei Dayong also replied, and the look of surprise that was still a little bit just now was gone, and it became extremely serious.

"Good! I believe that you can do it, and if you do it, the future of the two of you will naturally be limitless......" Yang Gaicui praised slightly.

Only...... This time you go to sea, in addition to the two things mentioned above, there is actually one more thing that is the most important thing in this sea...... "......" Yang Reform said in a low voice.

"You all know about me appeasing Zheng Zhilong, but do you know how I covered up Zheng Zhilong? What are the conditions? Yang Gaicui asked again.

"I don't know ......," the two looked at each other and said.

"Zheng Zhilong was a pirate before, controlling and seeing the trade of the Wa Kingdom, he accepted my appeasement, this trade to the Wa Kingdom, naturally belonged to me, this time you go to sea, in fact, it is to do this thing, and take over the trade of the Wa Kingdom from Zheng Zhilong" Yang Gaicui said softly, the previous things are all superficial, and only this matter is the actual thing to do.

The two of them were shocked! Why did the emperor "entertain" Zheng Zhilong with such a high standard, and even dispatched Lin Xuan? Why is the Jiangnan shipyard half of the ship and half of Zheng Zhilong, the reason is here. Why can Zheng Zhilong fight the officers and troops in southern Fujian? Can you immigrate to tens of thousands? It's impossible to do it without some capital! Only then did the two know that Zheng Zhilong's status in the emperor's mind might be even higher than theirs......

"Command!" It was still Shang Kexi who replied first.

"Command!" Lei Da retracted his shocked eyes a little and said. ,

“…… This matter is a long-term matter, and it is also the reason why I called both of you here, you went to the Wa Kingdom this time to help the lord of the Ryukyu Kingdom restore the country, and you also have to stay in Japan for a long time to control the trade of the Wa Kingdom, and only after you are familiar with the situation on the Wa side can you take turns to come back to rest......" Yang Gaicui said again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty for your kindness!" The two men said.

"To control the trade of the Japanese Kingdom, there must be a port that can stay and supply, the port, in addition to the Ming Dynasty, the Ryukyu side, after you help him restore the country, you will ask him for a port, as a long-term station, presumably the Ryukyu lord will like it very much, and then the Japanese side may also need a few ports, however, this matter may have to be ......discussed in the long run, and then on the Korean side, I will also try to get a few ports, this matter also has to be discussed in the long run, and when the ports in these aspects are determined, control the affairs of the Japanese country, It's over, the matter of the port, you can pay attention to it...... although I have selected several ports in China, but in addition to Shanghai Port, Tianjin Port, the other ports are not suitable to be displayed, so you can only work hard...... Yang Gaicao said.

"The minister understands!" The two men replied again.

"One more thing! The most important" kind of reform thought about it, and felt that the previous explanation was almost over, and it was time to explain this important thing.

"Your Majesty, please!" The two of them hurriedly said.

"There is a big difference between you going to take over the trade control left by Zheng Zhilong and running this trade control yourself, do you know?" Yang Gaicui said.

"Your Majesty, please!" The two of them hurriedly asked again, this matter can be regarded as a very high secret for them to participate in as a faction of the imperial party, and even this kind of exchange of interests of the emperor's Zhao'an pirates is done by them, which shows the emperor's trust in them, and the morale of the two of them is getting higher and higher.

"Zheng Zhilong is a pirate, monopolizing the trade of the Japanese Kingdom, and he can grovel to the Japanese people to show friendship, but you are taking over on behalf of me, so I naturally can't grovel to the Japanese people, do you understand what I mean?" "Yang Reform said the most critical problem, Zheng Zhilong controls the trade of Japan, and can cooperate with the Japan himself, such as the port of call or something, but he can't, he is the emperor, or the emperor of the Central Dynasty, I can't imagine being the same as Zheng Zhilong, seeing the Japanese himself and groveling, so taking over Zheng Zhilong's power and monopolizing the trade of Japan, in addition to war, it is war, and we must subdue the Japanese himself.

The two of them were shocked beyond measure, they originally said that it was good, but they walked over to take over the benefits exchanged between Zheng Zhilong and the emperor, but they didn't expect that the problem would be so big, the emperor naturally couldn't grovel to the Japanese like pirates, and the emperor wanted them to take over the trade there, so what would be the result? You don't have to think about it to know what the result will be, and that is to fight, to fight......

Lei Dayong and Shang Kexi looked at the emperor dumbfounded, understood, but didn't understand. The emperor probably told them to go to war, but was it really to go to war?
