The moment Han Kuangnian folded the news, it shook the government and the opposition. What does that mean? What does it mean to find a large number of smugglers and traitors who have also found that they have connections with many officials, and these officials opened the city gates on the spot to surrender to the enemy when the soldiers were approaching the city!

Is this the reason for the loss of Shenyang City? This is really incredible, Li Ruhua, the head of the household, immediately said: "Your Majesty this is absolutely impossible, this fold must be suspected of shirking ahead, the minister also asked His Majesty to investigate, don't listen to the villain's slander!" ”

"Drink!" Li Jiancheng listened to Li Ruhua's words and laughed contemptuously, did he think that Li Ruhua thought that he Li Jiancheng was using the civil official to open the door and surrender to help the Liaodong sergeant exonerate? He inevitably underestimated him Li Jiancheng too much!

"Li Aiqing rest assured, I will not wronged a good person, nor will I let go of a bad person. Regarding the matter of the officers and soldiers of Shenyang opening the city to meet the enemy, before the battle in Liaodong is over, I don't want to go into detail for the time being. Now we can know that the result is that Shenyang City has been lost, Shenyang has lost Liaoyang City, and it is difficult to stand alone, and the overall situation of Liaodong has basically fallen into the hands of the enemy. Now I want to talk to you about the collusion of officials with the comptoir of the firm to smuggle and collaborate with the enemy! Li Jiancheng's words are categorical and cannot be questioned, to be honest, Li Jiancheng's resolute attitude is also admired by Han Kuang, Fang Congzhe and others.

Li Jiancheng's biggest advantage is that he is not afraid of things. What the emperor said before, 'Liaodong lost the Ming Dynasty', was actually just a kind of sarcasm for his ministers. Fang Congzhe and Han Kuang could see that this may be the budget that Li Jiancheng already had, and a budget that he had since he withdrew from the people of Liaodong.

The emperor's true attitude is that he is right about things and not about people, which is also a point that most ministers have no way to do. One of them is Li Jiancheng's 'justice' towards the people.

This kind of justice makes it impossible for even a person like Fang Congzhe to mention the emperor. Because he didn't need to be attached to those aristocratic officials. The most fundamental reason for this is that he can solve all the problems himself!

Li Jiancheng continued: "Before I say that, I want to say that this intelligence bureau is a new department established by me, and as its name suggests, it is engaged in intelligence, and the intelligence officers sent to Liaodong this time are to find out the influence of Houjin in the vicinity of our borders. Oh, I just didn't expect this investigation to really jump! ”

"This time, my intelligence bureau has seized a total of 30 merchants in Liaodong who have been smuggling grain, grass, clothing, iron tools, and armaments against the enemy for a long time? Among them, there are eight large merchants in Shanxi, and I believe that even you have heard of their names, and these people smuggle tens of thousands of iron tools and grain into Houjin every year. So the question is, I can't have a law that allows the sale of important substances to enemy countries, right? So how did these merchants smuggle things out? Can anyone give me this answer! ”

Li Jiancheng's question was asked by the ministers present. The ministers were silent, and Li Jiancheng continued: "Okay, you don't know about this problem, right?" Then do any of you know how much supplies Nurhachi took from my Daming in a year? Did he spend much money? ”

After a silent time, Li Ruhua, Han Kuang and others all looked at the emperor and did not speak, and the emperor suddenly investigated the problem of smuggling, which was beyond everyone's expectations, and no one thought that he Li Jiancheng would stretch out his hand to such a distant issue.

Li Jiancheng looked at these ministers who were still sleepwalking, and it seemed that he couldn't do it without taking some bombshells, and he continued: "You don't know! Then I will tell you in detail, the main composition of the Houjin is the Jurchen tribe of the former Jianzhou, and they are basically the composition of the nomadic people. In the past, the Jurchen lifestyle relied on pastures and cattle and sheep, just like the Mongols, but later these nomads assimilated with the Han Chinese. I learned the methods of farming for the production of food. The nomads who learned to farm no longer only relied on cattle, sheep and pastures to survive, they also needed land and became semi-nomads. This is the reason why Houjin is different from the Mongols who ran away after they were strong, and they could fight with us.

And since the 47th year of the Emperor Shenzong, Nurhachi was proclaimed Khan in Hetuala, and until the Battle of Lisarhu to the present, the fighting forces of Houjin have been expanding, until now there are 100,000 people known as the long-term combat strength. Although the semi-nomads, as I said, changed the original strategic policy of the nomads by farming, it is precisely because of this that they are far inferior to the past, so the question for me is how can they feed this army of nearly one-third of their population for a long time? ”

Of course, this has something to do with the characteristics of the nomadic tribe that all the people are soldiers, but the more all the people are soldiers. Like Hou Jin, who draws strong men to fight at this important moment of the spring equinox, if he can't get an equivalent return, it will drag down the overall level of production capacity even more, but Nurhachi doesn't have such worries, do you know where his confidence is? ”

Li Jiancheng's series of stories about the history of design and more, the ministers listened to the emperor's words and did not take it as a joke.

Li Jiancheng continued: "Although they are semi-nomadic people, Houjin also adheres to the inferior character of all nomadic tribes and uses plunder as the basis for survival! They raided around the border of the Ming Dynasty to get some food, but this could not feed their troops. But what is most precious is plundered, and this is, of course, gold and silver treasures. As a result, a vicious trading activity arose, and the money plundered by the Later Jin Tong Guò from our dynasty was then used to buy smuggled grain, iron tools, and daily necessities at a price several times higher than the normal price of our dynasty, and used them to supplement the munitions and armed forces for further plunder. This is part of Nurhachi's confidence. Do you know what the number of transactions is? As high as nearly three million taels a year, isn't it amazing, and my annual income in the Ming Dynasty is about the same! ”

Li Jiancheng's words made the people in the court completely silent, and at one time let everyone understand that what he Li Jiancheng said was not child's play!

The ministers didn't speak, and Li Jiancheng had something to say, and he said, "What's the matter, it's all gone?" Tell me, what do you think of the number of transactions that are about the same as my Ming year!

Li Ruhua was choked by Li Jiancheng all of a sudden, and this forty or fifty-year-old hard-hearted middle-aged man was very short of breath and said: "This... This, micro. Wechen thought that these merchants were really hateful. Deserve to be punished! ”

Li Jiancheng snorted coldly when he heard his words: "People die for money, birds die for food." Those merchants are damned. Then the Ministry of Rites, you come to sue me, what should those traitors who colluded with Shang A to open the door to this dirty deal?

Sun Shenxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was also shocked by Li Jiancheng at once, and he said with a sweaty half-sound: "The sin is the nine clans." ”

Sun Shenxing's words instantly covered the court with a layer of ice mist, thinking of Li Jiancheng's previous words to Ye Congfeng, Zhou Ming, and Xinlan who ordered them to be cut. Especially the beautiful woman Xinlan who seems to be with the emperor and this ** rumor, this is ordered to be cut off. Now that Li Jiancheng has a reason to be soft on them?

Seeing the purpose of Li Jiancheng's bloody revenge, even Fang Congzhe, Han Kuang and others began to chill. For the sake of those few people. Does the emperor really want to wash the court in blood? Fang Congzhe, as the first auxiliary minister, was naturally about to speak, and he said: "Your Majesty, this matter is very important, can Your Majesty have definite evidence?" ”

Li Jiancheng heard his words and immediately said: "Fang Aiqing is really a loyal and patriotic person, I'm afraid that I have missed a bastard, right, you can rest assured that I will never let go of a person who is a corpse vegetarian." Fortunately, the Liaodong Intelligence Bureau has seized a large amount of conclusive evidence, and has sent all of it to me. It is estimated that it will be transmitted back to the capital at noon today, and all the evidence is conclusive. The report sent in advance has already told me that there are several Sanpin Dayuan involved, and I believe that everyone present has already counted. Well. By the way, after the criminal department goes back, prepare and dig a big hole. When the evidence comes back, I will directly order people to be taken, and there is no mercy to talk about the execution of the rebellion of several clans, just a while ago, when I was engaged in reclamation, didn't I encroach on a lot of idle land, and many people asked me to explain!! Now it's best to have your names in these lists, so that it will save me a lot of trouble, anyway, you people don't have any family and country people in your hearts, you don't have any social contributions, I don't feel sorry to kill you, pray that there are no your names in it! By the way, I forgot to say that I myself ordered the entire city of the military department to be under martial law, and in addition, the military department is still in the book, you are making up a whole country, and there is no forgiveness for those who move around."

Li Jiancheng said that Fang Congzhe had no temper at all, not only did he lose his temper, but the other ministers also had no temper, did the emperor dare to be blunt, let the criminal department prepare to dig a big pit, and cut it after verification, how does it feel like ordering a pig farm to be killed! and Li Jiancheng said that those who are looking for him to make trouble occupy the land, what does it mean that they should be on the list? Is there a curse worse than this?

But in any case, Li Jiancheng's killing intent this time was full, and everyone could see it clearly. He took one last look at the ministers and said, "How are you?" I wonder how many others are standing here today? You don't care about this society, I can't care less! Therefore, whoever stands in my way, I will take someone's life! Houjin plundered money from my Daming, and he was using money to trade nutrition from your people, grow their team, and continue to plunder In this way, how many tomorrows can I have in Daming? You parasites alone are enough, businessmen filthy? Don't laugh at me, what's the difference between you? ”

"Retreat!" Li Jiancheng left after saying the last word, the Chaocheng people had nothing to say, the faces of the various officials were green, and a few people who might have a ghost had already run to Fang Congzhe and Han Kuang and said, "This, this, this, my lord, how can this be good?" The emperor obviously wants to drag me to wait for those children to be buried together! ”

Han Kuang listened to his words and said, "Funeral? If you don't have anything to do, then it's your turn to go to the funeral! ”

"This, Lord Han, how can you talk so casually, if it weren't for your gestures, I would ...... there!"

Before he finished speaking, Li Ruhua came over and scolded him angrily: "You shut up for me!" ”

There was a mess in the court, and some people were so anxious that they died, and they were in a hurry. This also confirms that what Li Jiancheng said is by no means false, and I am afraid that the evidence will really be bloody.

At this time, Han Kuang turned around and said to the other party: "Fang Gong, don't be in a hurry, be calm and the ministers, I will wait for the saint in the line!" ”

Fang Congzhe also nodded and sighed: "Your Majesty should also be waiting for us!" (To be continued......)
