In November (the twenty-eighth year of Yongli), Wu Sangui, the lord of Zhou, sent Cao Yuan and Zhou Wenji to hire Zheng Jing. (If you like this book, please bookmark biquge.info)

Sangui was opposed, the country was called Zhou, and he sent an envoy to Dongning to join the division, and Zheng Jingling promoted the official Chen Kejun and the deputy general Chen Wenhuan to report it. Sangui repatriated Cao Qian and asked. Duty Geng, Zheng Goubing, point return Sangui. Sangui sent Wen Ji to reconcile, to the effect that "the same room fights, laughing at the enemy country" as a statement. ”——

Minhai Minutes

Geng Fan originally only had fifteen leaders (note: during the Kangxi period, a leader had jurisdiction over about 300 people) and more than 7,000 green battalion soldiers, and after several battles with the Zheng army, it had already lost a lot, and at this time, the Qing court had sent Prince Kang Jieshu as the general who was ordered to be ordered, and Prince Jian Labu was the general of Yangwei, and they were stationed in Hangzhou and Jiangning respectively to deter southern Zhejiang and northern Fujian. Out of concern about the unfavorable situation of having a wolf in front and a tiger in the back, Geng Jingzhong, after repeated weighing, finally negotiated peace with the Ming and Zheng sides under the mediation of Wu Sangui's envoy, so that he could free up his hands to face the strong enemy in the north.

Although the Zheng army has repeatedly won battles with the Geng army, the Zheng army at this time is no longer a strong vassal that can dispatch more than 100,000 troops at every turn in the Zhu Chenggong era, and the Zheng army, which is also facing the problem of insufficient troops, is caught between Geng Jingzhong and Shang Kexi, who is hesitant in the face of the two very different choices of opposing the Qing Dynasty and supporting Wu and protecting the Qing Dynasty to destroy Wu. Now seeing that Geng Fan intends to make peace, he pushed the boat down the river, and the two sides sat down at the negotiating table again

"Your Majesty, now that the army of this domain is gathered in Quan, Zhang, Chao, and Xia, and the number of troops is increasing, it is inconvenient to transfer it from Dongning, so the minister thinks that he should also raise money on the spot to meet the needs." Zheng Xingying, who was the former governor of Chengtianfu in the eastern capital, now knows the affairs of Siming Prefecture and the envoy of Fujian and Guangdong, is Zhu Chenggong's cousin and Zhu Jin's cousin. "The minister has already made a list with Lord Yang Yingyang, and is ready to collect Mao Ding and Liang Tou. Mao Ding is the oral endowment, and those who are over 16 years old and under 60 years old in each county will receive five cents of silver per person. The head of the beam is the ship tax, and each ship is paid by the ruler, and now there are hundreds of ships in Siming Prefecture, and this income should not be less than the income of Mao Ding. ”

"Your Majesty, in addition to this, the minister and the Duke of Zheng also agreed to open salt farms in Quan, Zhang, Chao and other places." Household official Yang Ying further added. "The price of salt is now tentatively set at two cents per stone, and an additional four cents is levied to make up for the shortage of military salaries."

"That's a good idea." Zhu Jin nodded, in fact, when it comes to financial management in the Ming and Zheng regimes, the most authoritative person should be Chen Yonghua in Dongning, but since Chen Yonghua is far away in Taiwan, Zhu Jin can only rely on Zheng Xingying, Yang Ying and others. "The matter of salt administration is very important, and you can have a suitable candidate."

Zheng Xingying and Yang Ying glanced at each other, and then leaned over slightly: "The matter is very important, the ministers dare not be arbitrary, and please ask the king to show it." ”

Zhu Jin's gaze swept over the faces of everyone in the hall, because the salt administration has always been a fat poor, many people showed an eager look on their faces, the corners of Zhu Jin's mouth were slightly upturned, and he felt the pleasure of holding the power and grace: "Chen Tingzhang is not bad in Wannian Prefecture, and he is appointed as the salt envoy of Quanzhou." ”

Zheng Dexiao, a Chinese scholar recommended by Chen Yonghua, recorded quickly, and listened to Zhu Jin continue: "Xi Qi can be signed with Zhangyan. ”

As soon as he heard that his brother had been awarded such a merit, a smile quickly flashed across Feng Xifan's face, who was standing beside Zhu Jin.

"Chaoyan, let Li Jing of the Chengxuan Division go." The largest piece of cake was divided by Zhu Jin himself, and he was naturally not interested in handling the next pieces one by one, so he threw the bones to Zheng Xingying and Yang Ying, who were specifically handling it. "As for the county salaries, Uncle Ming will discuss it with Yang Qing."

"No!" The two responded in unison.

When the two of them returned to their ranks, the official Hong Lei made a report: "Geng's generals Liu Yan, Xu Hongbi, Liu Chenglong and others have rushed to Siming to see the king, and I don't know what instructions the king has for them. ”

Due to the lack of military strength of the Zheng army, the Ming and Zheng sides have always given favors to all the generals, such as Zhao Desheng, the first to surrender Haicheng, was promoted to the left commander and named the Marquis of Xingming, and Zhang Xueyao, the general of Tong'an, was appointed as the general of the left vanguard, etc., and for example, Huang Fangdu, the son of Huang Wu, who betrayed Zhu Chenggong and offered Haicheng and then got the title of Duke Haicheng of the Qing court, was awarded the title of Duke of Dehua for his meritorious service to Chaozhou, if nothing else, Liu Yan, Xu Hongbi, Liu Chenglong and others will suffer the same.

"Let's wait a minute." But the accident still happened, and Zhu Jin did not come forward to appease the three generals for the first time. "Now that this domain and Geng Fan are making peace, if there is a big fanfare at this time, I am afraid that Geng Fan will be frightened, let's talk about it in a few days, but Hong Qing, the officials should not treat these three people slowly, so that they will be resentful."

Hong Lei retreated, and at this time, when Liu Guoxuan was not there, He You, the highest-ranking commander of the Left Tiger Guard, came out and asked: "Your Majesty, if you can reach peace with Geng Fan this time, how should this domain act in the future?" ”

"He Qing saw that Liu Qing had fought a few big battles in Quanbei and felt itchy for a while, and he was afraid that the two feudatories would be harmonious and the northern front would be appeased, so there would be no battles in the future?" Of course, Zhu Jin knew the thoughts of his subordinates, martial artists, how could he be promoted and make a fortune if he didn't fight, but he didn't answer directly, but instead set his eyes on Chen Shenwu. "Chen Zanhua, Qing will answer."

Chen Shenwu, who was in charge of military strategy, took a step forward, stood in the atrium, first saluted Zhu Jinshen who was seated, and then straightened up and looked around at the ministers so that he could speak: "The king ordered the ministers to answer, and the ministers were not ashamed." ”

Chen Shenwu made a pre-Qin debater's posture of a lotus flower: "Although Geng Fan is harmonious, but Shang Fan is still suspicious, the previous defeat of Sun Yanling in Guangxi can be said to be a mistaken belief in Shang Kexi's father and son, but this is a good thing for this domain, and this domain can take advantage of the situation to the south and take Guangdong Province." ”

Guangdong is far richer than Fujian, as soon as they heard that they were going to march into Guangdong next, the commanders, commanders, and town generals on the side of the armor suddenly brightened up, and they all looked eager to try.

However, Ke Ping, the criminal officer who was not optimistic about the prospects of the war during the military discussion before the Western Expedition, stood up again at this moment and said the opposite: "Lord Zhou can promote peace between this domain and Geng Domain, what if he intervenes again at that time?" It is important to know that the three feudal domains are in the same spirit, and the relationship is far closer than that of the main domain, and if the three feudal domains join forces at that time, how can the feudal domain deal with itself. ”

"What Master Ke said is extremely true," Chen Shenwu did not move, but nodded in approval of the other party's statement, obviously having already considered it. "However, Shang Fan is capricious, Wu Fan also has a headache when he thinks about it, if this domain can suppress Shang Fan, I am afraid that Wu Fan should also be happy to see it. Taking a step back, if Shang Fan lost his sincerity to Wu Fan in exchange for the intervention of the Zhou army in mediation, but Wu Fan had to face the captive army directly, how much strength would he have to drive his troops into Guangdong Province? ”

Seeing Chen Shenwu's triumphant appearance, Feng Xifan, who was also in charge of military strategy, didn't want him to be beautiful, so he also jumped out and added in a tone of Chengzhu in his chest: "Even if the two sides are still harmonious in the end, just like the current Quanquan and Zhangfu Mansions, can you spit out the things you eat in your stomach again?"

The strategy has been decided, the ministers quietly dispersed, Zhu Jin rubbed his forehead a little tiredly, at this time, Feng Xifan reversed his hesitation just now, pretended to bow down to Zhu Jinjin and said: "Your Majesty, the soldiers are fighting fiercely, I am afraid that I will not be able to return to the Eastern Capital to celebrate the New Year's Day this year, do you want to send someone to greet the old country?" ”

"Yes, I can't spend the New Year in the Eastern Capital, the war has been going on for years, and I don't know when it will end, and I wonder if I want to spend the two of them in Qinshe and Qinshe." Zhu Jin was aroused by Feng Xifan's nostalgia, because the other party was his own person, so Zhu Jin did not avoid the other party's intentions, and after sighing a few times, he made a decision. "Wait a minute, you can send someone back to greet your mother for Gu." Although there was only Dong Guotai in the words, Feng Xifan understood Zhu Jin's true intentions, nodded, and saw that his cronies had already understood, Zhu Jin asked casually: "Is there any new news in Dongning recently?" ”

"What's new?" Feng Xifan's eyes rolled. "Recently, Dongning has released a new snow sugar, which is in good condition far beyond the best sugar products today, and there is a new rock sugar, which looks similar to ice cubes from a distance, these two kinds of sugar are now selling well in Siming, and the income should be considerable."

"Oh? The Ministry of Industry has made a great contribution this time, "Zhu Jin didn't know what was going on, and subconsciously thought that this was a masterpiece of the Ministry of Industry." "Come to someone, spread the will of the orphan, let Chen Aiqing reward the whole department, and also list Yang Xian as the (four products) of the doctor."

"The king is slow." Feng Xifan immediately stopped. "This matter has nothing to do with the Ministry of Industry, it is a sugar house opened by Funing Hou."

Zhu Jin's face stiffened, he has never had a good face towards these younger brothers, but Confucianism pays attention to filial piety and kinship, even if he holds back the fire, it is not easy for him to scold his brothers, but the sugar industry has always been the source of Ming Zheng's heavy benefit, so he can't handle it carefully.

"What's the matter with Fufu, why do you just watch Funing Hou be this national beetle, no, you immediately send someone back to investigate it strictly."

"Your Majesty, this matter also involves the eldest prince." Feng Xifan was only jealous of Chen Yonghua's power at this time, and he had not yet had a direct conflict with Zheng Kezang, so he did not dare to take Zhu Jin's preferred heir lightly. "It is normal for President Chen to not dare to deal with it lightly."

"Chinsha? What's going on. Zhu Jin sank his face. Let's talk to Lonely. ”

"Your Majesty, it is said that the eldest prince found the skills of refining snow sugar and making rock sugar in several agricultural books, and he wanted to find President Chen to make a trial production, but Lord Chen categorically refused on the grounds that Yuanzi's plaything was demoralized, and the eldest prince had to find Funing Hou," Feng Xifan was careful with his words, not daring to point too much finger at Zheng Kezang. "Marquis of Funing, the king also knows, he has always been greedy for money, and he naturally refused to let go of this wonderful method, so he got the sugar liao from the Ministry of Industry."

Zhu Jin's face changed several times when he listened: "This Qin She, I really don't know how thick the sky is, what kind of medals and medals have been promised to him in the previous reply's letter, but the result is endless, and now there is a snow candy and rock candy, and he is skilled, and he has forgotten the saint's avenue." ”

Listening to Zhu Jin's tone, Feng Xifan knew that he was actually happy, so Ah attached: "Your Majesty, the eldest prince's intentions are good, but Lord Chen's discernment is not clear, so the source of profit overflows, but fortunately, it finally fell into the hands of the Marquis of Funing, and he is not an outsider." ”

"It's Lone's own brother!" Zhu Jin smiled bitterly, got up and walked towards the back of the hall. "Let my own brother who can't save his heart, okay, as long as the income of the official is not reduced, this matter will not be mentioned again"
