Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Zhai Zhe doesn't have to worry about the affairs in Nanjing.

His agreement with Zheng Zhilong was that he would not get anything out of the court. However, he would not give the official position of governor of Fujian and Guangdong to Zheng Zhilong.

Because he was able to get the position of King of Datong and even the general, it had nothing to do with Zheng Zhilong, and he paid the price.

Zong Mao was demoted to Ningbo, and the General's Mansion gave power to the gentry in Jiangnan. Zheng wants to get what the tenants dream of, and of course there is a price to pay.

Zhu Yujian wanted to win over the Zheng family to deal with him, but of course he couldn't empty the white wolf.

There is no such thing as nothing in this world, and everyone has to pay for their choices.

Since receiving Zhao Yucheng's confession, Zhai Zhe has a wisp of worry that cannot be erased.

The crisis in Jiangnan, and even in the whole of Nanming, came faster than he expected.

Jin Xiaoding's secret reports continued to be sent to him, Zhao Yucheng and Fan Yongdou were gradually improving the spy network in Jiangbei, and the messenger's channel had been perfected.

The war in Shanxi was vigorous, and the tragedy and grandeur of it made Zhai Zhe fall into a long silence after reading the letter

"Maybe, I really can't save Shanxi anymore, my hometown" Thinking of the local voice of Datong City, those familiar partners in Youyu County, Zhai Zhe had a faint sadness.

In fact, he has always had a glimmer of hope.

Erasing the memory of his previous life, he spent most of his life in Shanxi and Saiwai, where he had a deep affection

Sitting in the position of today's general, there are several things that can completely fulfill his wishes.

End of May.

The Ming army in Huguang was attacking Jingzhou and Yuezhou.

Zheng's soldiers and horses repelled the Guangxi wolf soldiers who were under the supervision of Ding Kui and Chu, and expanded the control area in Guangdong.

Dorgon was still hysterically supervising the battle under the city of Datong.

Wu Sangui successively defeated Wang Yongqiang and others in Shaanxi anyway.

Zuo Ruo fought a battle under the city of Hanyang Mansion for nearly two months, winning more and losing less. The Qing soldiers mobilized some reinforcements from Henan to support. It seems that the Ming army will not be able to break through Hanyang Province with equal strength.

Jinyiwei hurriedly whipped out of Nanjing to Guangdong to spread the message, trying his best to end the chaotic situation in Guangdong.

After some secret discussion, Zhu Yujian affirmed that Zheng Zhilong had indeed obtained his secret decree, and admitted that Zhu Cihuo, the prince of Yi, secretly colluded with Chen Bangbo to make a big mistake. Chen Bangbo has been ambushed. Prince Yi Zhu Cihuo will be escorted to Nanjing and imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion.

The news spread all over the world, and Jiangnan was in an uproar. The governors everywhere were dumbfounded.

What is Zheng Zhilong, who doesn't know in the officialdom, who doesn't know? Emperor Zhu Yujian of Longwu dealt with it like this, but he was actually digging his own grave and hurting the hearts of the ministers in the world.

Discussions on the banks of the Qinhuai River have also changed the mood in recent days.

After Zheng Sen got the news, he didn't go to Hefang again, for fear of saying some embarrassing topics when he saw those scholars

He thinks too much, the scholars on the banks of the Qinhuai River like wind and snow and moon, more than national events. Zheng just stood on all the two Guangzhous, and they wouldn't have any radical reactions. It's just scolding behind my back, and I'm addicted to it.

Wuchang Mansion.

Zhai Zhe was very satisfied.

Zhu Yujian's practice is constantly belittling the prestige of the imperial court, and he is happy to see it come to fruition.

The city of Nanjing is messy.

The decree was issued by the emperor, and the prestige of the cabinet fell to the bottom.

Huang Zongxi gathered a group of soldiers to impeach Ma Shiying, and at the same time called for Zheng Zhilong to be punished for killing his colleagues without permission. This is a huge condemnation of Zheng Zhilong, including scholars from eastern Zhejiang and Jiangnan Fushe. Some of them also looked down on Zhai Zhe.

Huang Zongxi was born in eastern Zhejiang, and he has a good impression of Zhai Zhe, who started in eastern Zhejiang, but it is impossible for a person like him to be bought by Zhai Zhe. His origin lies only in the hatred between the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party. His father, Huang Zunsu, died at the hands of the eunuchs, when he was still a teenager.

Zhai Zhe was indifferent to this matter, and at the same time wrote to He Tengjiao and Du Yinxi, urging them to step up the attack on Jingzhou City and Yuezhou City.

The treasurer and guards of the merchant alliance escorted the warship full of silver to the outside of Jingzhou, bringing another 100,000 taels of silver. The silver was handed over to Liu Suifeng first, and this time the person who escorted the silver was a young man, in his early twenties, and heroic.

"Tae-hee, why are you here?"

Yoo Tae-hee, the eldest son of Yoo Quan, had never taken over the business of the Shangmeng before the age of twenty, and migrated to Hangzhou to become a man in the south of the Yangtze River. His appearance is still as rough as that of the people of Youyu County, but his behavior is simply more elegant than that of a Jiangnan scholar.

Ryu Tae-hee saluted respectfully and said, "Father asked me to come." One is for the purpose of escorting the silver, and the other is that I have a major matter to ask the second uncle. ”

"What's the big deal with you?"

Liu Taixi pursed his lips, and then said with a worried face: "Second uncle, my father has always asked me to give up my studies and run the business of the business alliance, but I have never been interested in business, and I don't know what to do."

Liu Suifeng was surprised at first, and then asked with a smile: "What do you want?" ”

"Being an official" Yoo Tae-hee is not shy about it at all.

"Being an official?" Liu Suifeng shook his head and asked, "Do you know how much money your family has now?" That amount would be the envy of the generals. He followed in a tone that followed, and then said, "Your family has too much money, and if you want to be an official, it will be too difficult." ”

"Then I'm going to take a career as well," Yoo Tae-hee was firm.

"As long as you think about it, your father and I won't stop you"

Liu Suifeng looked at the young scholar, who had the same dream when he was young.

The Liu family is too popular, and when he goes back, he must persuade Liu Quan not to make all the money in the business. Such as salt, firearms, and rice, relying on the prestige of the General's Mansion, are all profitable businesses.

If Yoo Tae-hee does not inherit his father's business and enters the officialdom, it will be more beneficial to the Yoo family in the future.

Although he was an uncle and nephew, the 100,000 taels of silver were clearly counted and handed over, and Yoo Tae-hee was not in a hurry to go back.

Liu Suifeng didn't have the time to answer him, he handed over half of the silver to Du Yinxi, and the rest of the silver was used as his own activity capital. The loyal battalion was very enthusiastic about fighting the Qing prisoners, and the requirements for military salaries were not high

Huguang, where the battle is raging, is not a place to take refuge.

In mid-May, Zhu Yujian issued an edict to summon Zhai Zhe. Soon after the Ming army besieged Hanyang Mansion, the holy decree reached Wuchang Mansion ordering Zhai Zhe to return to Nanjing, and Emperor Longwu tried to pull him into the whirlpool.

Zhai Zhe turned a deaf ear, but only wrote back to Chen Zilong and Liu Quan, and escorted the grain, grass and silver to Wuchang Mansion

All the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River have scholars who are generous and discuss the government and politics. Scholars who have meritorious fame and no official position always want to make some movement so that the world will not forget them. If you can get into the eyes and ears of the superior and get the opportunity to be appointed, it will not be in vain.

Chen Zilong was forced by Zhai Zhe to be anxious, and he really didn't have the time to join those activities that were destined to be fruitless.

The trend of splitting the Restoration Society is becoming more and more severe. Fortunately, Chen Zilong did not regard the resumption of the society as important at all.

"Another hundred thousand taels of silver? Didn't it only pass 150,000 taels last month? ”

He held the document with the general's seal on it, and felt that his mouth was full of bitterness.

Yao Qisheng explained seriously: "The general has 91,000 soldiers in Wuchang, and after Jin Shenghuan corrected it, he increased his salary by 25,000 people, and by the beginning of May, he still owed 130,000 taels of silver. ”

"I know, but I really don't have any money in my hands" Chen Zilong was eager to sell his house to prove that he was not lying.

"I know, but once the army loses pay, the consequences are unimaginable." Yao Qisheng bent his eyes and said with a straight face: "The general asked me to inform my lord that there are powerful people in all parts of Jiangnan who secretly conceal land and occupy official land, and if you don't do it ruthlessly, I'm afraid that you won't be able to meet the needs of the army." ”

"Are you going to do it?" Chen Zilong's heart was shocked.

In fact, it is long overdue. The General's Mansion then set up the opportunity to clear the case, and established its majesty at the beginning of Jiangnan, and delayed it until half a year later to take action against the government, which was already a lag.

"The practice of slavery was prevalent in various parts of the south of the Yangtze River, and the general thought that there were evil slaves who used the fame and power of their masters to bully the people in various places. The general's intention is to ask the governor to take the opportunity of measuring the land to rectify the practice of slavery.

Yao Qisheng put the ignited gunpowder balls into Chen Zilong's pocket, only to be afraid that one of them would explode, although it would not hurt him, it would inevitably be stained with soot.

"When the Governor implemented the new policy, the general ordered the commander-in-chief to act according to the orders of the Lord," Yao Qisheng's words hid a smell of blood.

After Yao Qisheng left, Chen Zilong fell into deep thought.

Zhai Zheyuan controlled the political affairs of Jiangnan in Huguang, and at this time, with the help of Zheng Zhilong's controversy, he implemented the new policy, and his intention was not to cause too much repercussions

Since Zhang Juzheng measured the land in the Wanli year, the Ming Dynasty implemented a whip law.

Every ten years, a large amount of land is seized by powerful gentry landlords, and many of them are concealed to avoid taxes. He is in Jiangnan, the wealthy Songjiang Mansion, and this matter has long been strange. On the contrary, there are some gentlemen who honestly pay taxes and are looked down upon.

Chen Zilong knows very well that since he took office, he has arranged officials in various places, but he is really using the system set up by Zong Mao to serve the General's Mansion.

If he didn't have special credit, he might not be able to do it for a long time in the position of governor of Jiangnan.

On May 23, the weather was already a little hot.

In the past two years, the summer in Jiangnan was very hot, and Jingzhou and Hanyang stepped up their siege in order to achieve phased results before the arrival of summer.

There was a gong ringing in Jiangnan.

This gong sounded very suddenly, but it had an impact on all parts of the Yangtze River that even surpassed Zhai Zhe's mutiny at the foot of the imperial city and Zheng Zhilong's unauthorized entry into Guangdong.

Because this matter is closely related to the lives of the people and gentry in Jiangnan.

The Governor's Office conveyed the order, and the government soldiers of the county governments were concentrated outside the city of the prefecture, and the hundred and thousand generals sent by Fengqin were to guide the drills. From the queue to the firearm, in turn.

At the same time, the Jiangnan Governor's Office issued orders in various localities to check the land that had been illegally concealed.

Chen Zilong personally investigated, and Hu Rui and Yang Jinxin and other protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials served as county magistrates everywhere, so that the new policy could be implemented to the fullest.

The soldiers of various prefectures held swords and pressed the formation.

Chen Zilong was resolute and resolute, and he had to complete the measurement of the land everywhere before the summer grain was collected.
