Chapter 375 in Shandong 10

After being hit by artillery, I knew the military strength of the Baath Party. I received the benefits and knew the financial resources of the Baath Party. Eventually, Mao Wenlong, the supreme leader of Dongjiang Town, decided to adopt an attitude that neither supported nor opposed Fuxing Trading Company.

In fact, although there was no clear proposal to establish a cooperative relationship with Fuxing Trading Company, with the acquiescence of Mao Wenlong, the trade between the Baxing Party and Dongjiang Town had already begun to be in full swing.

Under normal climatic conditions, the Bohai Sea glacial period generally begins in mid to late November and lasts until around March of the following year. However, in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, under the conditions of this Xiaoice climate, the ice age of the Bohai Sea was significantly extended. From the beginning of November to about April of the following year, for a full six months, the coastal areas of the Bohai Sea, except for Qinhuangdao and Huludao, are in a frozen state.

In September and October 1628, the First Fleet of the Baath Party and the armed fleet attached to the Ludong Base Area exchanged more than 30,000 people from Dongjiang Town for supplies through the means of exchanging people for materials.

After comprehensive sanitation treatment and epidemic prevention treatment, these people were quickly digested by the production and construction work in the Ludong base area.

From the beginning of 1628, especially after Wang Shuhui came to the Ludong base area, the production and construction of the entire Ludong base area began to be carried out on a large scale. Under the auspices of Wang Shuhui, two iron and steel plants with an annual output of 100,000 tons of iron and 40,000 tons of steel were established in more than three months.

In addition to the steel plant, cement plants, fertilizer plants, salt plants, brick factories and other factories are under comprehensive construction with the support of Wang Shuhui's Doraemon. The problem of displaced people, which caused a great headache for the Ming Dynasty, did not exist here in the Baath Party at all.

The Ludong base area of the Ba'ath Party is now not only crossing the sea through Dongjiang Town, but also collecting displaced people from all over Shandong.

The Ba'ath Party's large-scale construction work in the eastern Ludong region has obviously stimulated many local forces in Shandong. Many Shandong gentry who had connections with the court were sending messages to the court through various channels. However, because the upper echelons of the imperial court are still in a chaotic state of partisan struggle for the transfer of power, the problems on the ground in Shandong have not yet received the attention of the imperial court.

Wang Shuhui knew for a long time that the construction of the Baath Party in Shandong would certainly not be as smooth as in Hubei. After all, in the Hubei region, the name of the son-in-law of the vassal king on his head can cover up many problems. But Shandong is different, where the Baath Party is a purely foreign force. The opposition of the local gentry to the Ba'ath Party would have been particularly fierce.

Wang Shuhui also took some measures to try to give the Baath Party's presence in Shandong an official status. It's just that the name of the Weihaiwei commander not long ago, with the expansion of the scale of the construction of the Ludong base area of the Baath Party, obviously began to be unable to hold down.

As a matter of fact, the main task of the Baath Party's Board of Counsellors in recent times has been to appoint a new governor of Denglei in Beijing.

Wang Shuhui knew that in normal history, Wang Tingxuan, who succeeded Sun Guozhen as governor of Denglai, was just a temporary and excessive figure. He did not have a deep background and a solid relationship like Sun Yuanhua later.

Therefore, in order to facilitate the construction of the Ludong base area of the Ba'ath Party, Wang Shuhui ordered the people of the Counsellors' Council to promote Zhang Hong, the political envoy of Hubei Province, who had already been fully controlled by the Baath Party, to take over Sun Guozhen's position.

Zhang Hong, the original prefect of Jingzhou, although he has been in a state of detention and detention under the control of the Baath Party, in normal court documents, he was a powerful civil servant who put down the Wuchang Rebellion and the Chengtian Incident. The upper echelons of the Ming Dynasty have always had the impression that Zhang Hong was a capable minister who could lead troops to fight and lead a good team. Not only ordinary ministers, but even the rookie emperor Chongzhen, who had just ascended the throne for more than a year, also knew that there was such a powerful minister in Huguang.

Moreover, Emperor Chongzhen also knew that in the great storm that was given to Wei Zhongxian Seminary in various places a few years ago, Zhang Hong, who was the political envoy of Huguang, was the first to write against it. This left a deep impression on Emperor Chongzhen.

So even when many Donglin Party officials attacked Zhang Hong as a eunuch, Emperor Chongzhen did not waver in the slightest. He was very resolute in arranging Zhang Hong to the difficult post of governor of Denglai.

Although the current Emperor Chongzhen did not allow the Donglin Party to kill the eunuchs as in history, and made the court scattered, but at present, the court is also in a state of chaos of "all the people are in the court". Because Emperor Chongzhen did not take down Wei Zhongxian, the leader of the eunuch party, he still let Wei Zhongxian preside over the suppression of bandits in Shanxi, Shaanxi and Henan in the position of the celebrant supervisor.

Therefore, in the current imperial court, although the main officials of various ministries and departments have been replaced by the Donglin Party faction, their work enthusiasm has not been concentrated on their own work, but they continue to occupy an important position in the imperial court and wantonly tear up the party struggle, bent on setting 10,000 feet after Wei Zhongxian is completely killed.

Emperor Chongzhen has been in power for more than a year, and the literary and youthful atmosphere on his body is gradually declining. He also gradually felt why his grandfather and brother didn't trust Wenchen anymore.

He used the Donglin Party so much, but he had only been in power for a year, and the tax revenue in the southeast region had been reduced by half. The revenue of the entire imperial court was reduced by one-third. He clearly understood through Jinyiwei and Dongchang's fans that those civil ministers who talked in front of him that they could not compete with the people for profit were all big businessmen and big landlords with a huge net worth of money.

Obviously, the tax revenue reduced by the imperial court is because the agricultural tax and commercial tax have been fished into their own pockets by this group of people.

Although he still did not trust Wei Zhongxian, Emperor Chongzhen did not continue to be a scholar as in history, but learned from his elder brother Emperor Tianqi and began to train his own team of eunuchs.

For example, Wang Chengen, the most favored person next to Chongzhen, is now sitting in the position of the master of ceremonies and the pen. Wang Chengen has always had a close relationship with the Zhijiang Palace, and the Baath Party Counselor's Council operates the affairs of the governor of Denglai through Wang Chengen's relationship.

In December 1628, when relations between the Baath Party and the local gentry in the Ludong region were becoming increasingly strained, Zhang Hong, the former political envoy of Lake Guangfu, was appointed governor of Denglai.

In January 1629, officials and gentry throughout the Denglai region gathered in Dengzhou to wait for Zhang Hong, the new governor of Denglai. What they didn't know was that two thousand soldiers and 5,000 production and construction troops from four battalions of the Baath Party's Ludong base area were already in ambush outside Dengzhou City in full armor.

As a result, this well-planned greeting operation by the officials, gentry, and generals in the Denglai area turned into a thorough and comprehensive large-scale arrest in the Ludong base area of the Baath Party.

Not only were all the civil ministers in the entire Denglai area arrested by the Renaissance Army, but even the 3,000 Dengju soldiers stationed in Dengju City were immediately disarmed by the Baath Party and all of them were imprisoned in labor camps.

In the first time that the new governor was ushered in, the Denglai area completely changed
