The first wind and rain drifted away

"Your Majesty, although the maritime merchants are greedy, they are also the people of the Ming Dynasty.

The establishment of maritime order and the collection of 10,000 gold to feed the Ming treasury can only postpone the financial crisis, but cannot completely solve the situation between the country and the DPRK.

Cutting off people's financial means is like killing your parents!

After all, the dynasty cannot be compared with bandits like Zheng Zhilong, and the ministers are afraid that in a hurry, someone will take risks and rebel against the court. ”

Sun Chengzong looked worried, and slowly expressed his scruples and worries in his heart.

Hehe...... Hehe......

Emperor Chongzhen sneered, stroked the imperial case with his hand, and then laughed, as if he had heard a big joke.

In fact, he knew in his heart that Sun Chengzong was right, and there was a possibility of this.

But so what?

Zheng Zhilong can collect protection money, why can't the Ming court?

It's not that the indulgence is too much, so that it fuels the temper of the Jiangnan maritime merchants.

In addition, there are Donglin party members in the court to speak for them, which makes them more and more unscrupulous.

By the way, Sun Chengzong in front of him is also a member of the Donglin Party, and he is also the top of the big guys.

Qian Qianyi, another Donglin tycoon who is in prison, is only his younger brother at best.

Because, Qian Qianyi is his student.

Although, this has nothing to do with teaching and solving doubts, it's just that Sun Chengzong admitted him.

However, a student is a student, even if it is nominally, and this is enough to form a bond of interest.

Come to think of it, this may be the reason why the deity knew Sun Chengzong's ability, but abandoned it!

But Sun Chengzong is different from those Donglin Party members who claim to be righteous gentlemen, because he is a true person who is consistent in virtue and serves the country and the people.

It's a pity that he is as wise as he still can't see the situation clearly.

In other words, in the game, no one wants to think in the worst direction.

Considering this, Emperor Chongzhen stopped his heart-wrenching sneer, his expression turned to sadness, and he said to Sun Chengzong sincerely:

"Elder Sun Ge, I just want to profit for the country, and I don't want the officials to force the people to rebel.

Your Donglin Party keeps saying that the court and the people compete for profits, but is this really the case?

Those who have the foundation of business probably belong to the Jin and Jiangnan areas.

The merchants' families are fat, and the money is inexhaustible, but they don't need to hand over a penny to the dynasty.

The development of the Ming provinces is uneven, and the people in the northern provinces are difficult to bear the taxes.

Compare hearts to hearts, in addition to their rebellion, what do you say they can do?

This is the reason why the traitors in the Northwest have been repeatedly suppressed.

Also, the eastern captives outside the Guanxi are pressing step by step, the war in Liaodong is tight, and the treasury is empty, what should I do?

It was supposed to open up sources and reduce expenditure, which was the right move.

But now there is no open source, and it is good to throttle.

The princes of Donglin accused the Liaodong soldiers of improper command, ineffective combat, and embezzlement of military salaries.

For the Liaodong front, how to spend less money and how to do it.

However, the shortage of salaries in Liaodong has become more and more serious, coupled with the layers of exploitation of officers and generals at all levels, the soldiers have very little money in their hands, and their morale is extremely low.

How can we talk about defending the country at home?

If I really wait until the Ming Dynasty perishes, although my head will not be guaranteed, and my ancestors will be disgraced, but where will Sun Ge Lao go? What happens to the more than 100 people in the family?

It's really the Northwest traitor who won the world, that's good! After all, it is still the Han family, and the hundreds of millions of people in the world at least have a way to live.

But if you let the Jianyu outside the gate take the fire and get the Ming Dynasty, has Sun Ge thought about the consequences?

What will happen when a foreign race enters the Central Plains, I don't need to say much, just look at history.

If this is the case, all the princes of the court, including me, are sinners of history! ”

After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, he suddenly sighed, helpless and sad.

History, that's not exactly what it is!

"Your Majesty, the ministers are taught, and the ministers are ashamed!"

Emperor Chongzhen's heart-writhing confession made the elderly Sun Chengzong shed tears of emotion, and fell into deep self-blame and remorse.

The Donglin Party was initially centered on the Donglin Academy in Wuxi, lecturing and preaching.

They try to re-establish moral authority through their influence, with morality as their creed.

However, once any group has a political pursuit, it is not the original beliefs and dogmas that drive it, but the political interests and demands of its own group.

As the influence of the Donglin Party grew, they became powerful groups and parties, and with the interests and pursuits of the parties, they began to lose their original beliefs.

Gradually, in the name of morality, they sought partisan benefits.

In this way, the Donglin Party became the mainstream of the Daming factional dispute.

As long as one party is in power, the other party will do everything in their power to squeeze out the other party.

As a result, when he was not powerful, he criticized those in power, but when he was in power, he couldn't save the face of the scholars, he was proud of himself, and he didn't know how to be an official.

Finally, the Ming court achieved nothing under the party struggle and gradually went into decline.

Sun Chengzong passed this scene in his mind, and finally made a decision in his heart.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to work hard for the rest of his life to eliminate party disputes, and announced that he will quit the Donglin Party, but only devote himself to state affairs and put national affairs first."

Sun Chengzong leaned down and sobbed loudly.

"Elder Sun Ge, please get up quickly, Aiqing can be self-alert, I am very relieved!"

Emperor Chongzhen hurriedly helped the old man to get up, and his face bloomed with joy.

Facts have proved that some people can be rescued through ideological transformation, and the key is that you must speak well, speak well, and speak with connotation.

And I, in my previous life, was a regional sales manager, and I have this eloquence.

In fact, if you think about it seriously, the essence of being an emperor is the same as being a salesperson, as long as you can speak, you don't need to do it yourself.

In this way, Emperor Chongzhen has a lot of confidence in his heart.

"Your Majesty, what role can a group of despicable and greedy businessmen do in addition to colluding with corrupt officials to make profits?

The minister is not talented, and he is willing to be the vanguard in the hands of the Son of Heaven and sweep away such scum for the emperor. ”

Yang Sichang next to him automatically asked for help and said in a deep voice.

"Good, good......

A promising nation cannot be without heroes, and a promising country cannot be without eager pioneers. ”

Emperor Chongzhen applauded loudly and said the most coercive words.

Immediately afterwards, he took the Shang Fang sword from the knife holder and handed it to Yang Sichang in person, and said earnestly:

"Yang Aiqing and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies jointly investigated the Daming Naval Division and the Weisuo Army, and within three months, the family background of the Naval Division was clarified.

I gave Aiqing the post of Governor of the Navy, and the commander-in-chief of the military and political power of the Ming Navy.

The secretary made the small people in the frontier know that our country was mighty and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. Everywhere Qing went, it was like me coming in person. Wangqing encouraged him to live up to his trust. ”

Yang Sichang knelt down on his knees and said with a resolute face: "The minister will live up to the emperor's trust!" ”
