Chapter 159 [No Impermeable Wall]

When Ao Bai went to Heishi Village, the courtiers were arguing about whether "Huang Peng" was loyal or traitorous.

There are impeachment proceedings every day, and more than half of them have been impeachment recently.

This started with Qin Fei, the chief military officer of Ningxia Town, asking for merit.

Qin Fei, the chief military officer of Ningxia Town, said: "Huang Peng personally commanded 5,000 defenders to attack the Tatar tribe of Helan Mountain at night, and wiped out 3,000 Tatars with a strategy, and our army did not lose a single person, and captured more than 5,000 livestock and 2,000 taels of silver, which eased the situation of no pay in the army. ”

Looking at the record, this is a complete victory, looking at the result, this also effectively alleviates the problem of arrears in Ningxia Town. But some ministers did not think so, and the move caused great dissatisfaction among them.

A good thing is likely to change in the mouth of the literati. The Donglin Party members immediately wrote a memorabilia to impeach Aobai, and the tone was heart-wrenching, and the reasons were varied.

For example, this article - "The duty of the military household in Ningxia Town is to defend the city, not to attack, which was set by the emperor and should not be violated." Huang Peng was not the defender of Ningxia Town, and he had no right to mobilize the defenders at all, and he ignored the emperor's orders when he attacked without authorization...... (omit three thousand words)"

The main point of this impeachment is that Ningxia Town was an order issued by the former emperor to defend and not attack, and in order to show respect for the former emperor, it must be strictly observed, otherwise it will be guilty. The minister apparently forgot to argue about the issue of the Three Dynasties Essentials for several months. That is the "masterpiece" ordered by the Emperor of the Apocalypse, if it is disrespectful for Ao Bai to lead the troops to attack and win the battle, then the disdainful efforts made by the Donglin Party in order to destroy the book are like digging up the corpse of the Emperor of the Apocalypse from the grave, using his head as a toilet, you pull it after you finish it, I pull it again, and finally ask Zhu Youzhen: Your Majesty, do you want to pull it too?

Another example is this - "Rashly attacking the Tatar tribes with troops will inevitably arouse the hatred of the Tatars towards the Ming Dynasty, and if the other party's tens of thousands of troops go south, Ningxia Town will be in danger, which is extremely unfavorable to the Ming Dynasty...... (omit the number of words in the praise of virtue and praise is 5,000)"

The Tatars went south, ranging from hundreds to thousands, and it is difficult to find out what happened in which dynasty the 10,000 people went south. Some literati will never see what a yurt is like in their lifetime, do not understand how the Tatars live, and do not know why they provoke the Ming Dynasty, but they dare to say whatever they think, this is talent.

What's more, he put forward such a point of view - "Huang Peng dared to use troops privately without asking the imperial court for instructions, had no military discipline, despised the emperor's authority, and had bad intentions. ”

The literati basically had not read the art of war, and they did not understand anything like "the general can not be ordered by the king". However, they can dictate to generals on the battlefield, which is also a major feature of the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Chongzhen ignored the matter of Ningxia Town, and he felt that Ao Bai was meritorious.

However, after the Jianghuai Salt Farm incident broke out, there were more people who impeached Aobai, and the Donglin Party officials, who represented the rich forces in the south, attacked him en masse, and the only one who did not impeach Aobai was probably Sun Chengzong, who was far away at the border.

"Under the instruction of Huang Peng, Jin Yiwei maliciously framed Jianghuai salt merchants, brutalized Zhongliang, deceived the emperor, and cronyism. The wolf's ambitions are clear. ”

"If Huang Peng is not eliminated, he will definitely control the court and the emperor like Wei Zhongxian in the future, which is the number one disaster in the world......"

"This person is ruthless, and there is no actual evidence for the raiding of the Jin merchants, and now the law-abiding salt merchants in Jianghuai are concocted in the same way, and it is recommended that they be immediately dismissed and investigated."

A detailed analysis of how many bad things Ao Bai has done, and some people even talk about Ao Bai and Su Meng'er leaving Beijing together, saying that Ao Bai has already married, and he also hooked up with other women, which is immoral, and took women on the road, not to inspect the border pass, but to leave Mrs. ">Tryst with lover, this move is not a gentleman's doing.

Chongzhen looked at these things, one head and two big.

Everyone is ruining their bones, and there are people impeaching every day, Chongzhen also has some doubts about Aobai, does he really have ulterior motives and other purposes? But if he is a bad person, how can the senior monks of Shaolin Temple have such a good relationship with him and are willing to go out of the mountain to help him appease people's hearts?

After receiving the letter of request for payment brought back by Ao Bai Jinyiwei, Chongzhen was even more confused, and Ao Bai said that the disaster situation in Shaanxi has been very serious, and it has reached the point where it is impossible to relieve the disaster, and it is necessary to allocate funds as soon as possible. He also had a suggestion to organize donations from the wealthy across the country.

Chongzhen said about the donation when he went to the court. Ministers were mostly opposed. In their eyes, Aobai's donation plan is a means of accumulating money, in order to enrich their own pockets, and it is a heinous crime. Shaanxi is a poor and remote country that makes trouble for the purpose of tax evasion.

Chongzhen's mind became more and more confused. Is it that the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty are all bad people and unite to deal with Aobai, or is Aobai really selfish? Going to inspect the border passes, is it really like what the courtiers say, can you get a lot of benefits?

Zhu Youzhen has never left the capital, he doesn't know what the outside world is like, he can only imagine it out of thin air. After he ascended the throne, he didn't care much about the common people, because he didn't know how bitter the common people were. For the sake of Liaodong's military salary, the Donglin Party persuaded him to levy more, and he did it, never thinking that this might be wrong.

In fact, the Donglin Party's suggestion is like fishing and doesn't care about the life or death of the earthworms, and it does not connect the common people with the resistance to the Jin State at all. Based on this understanding, Liao Cai levied an additional 1.4 million taels.

The people of Shaanxi are already hungry and can only eat Guanyin soil at their own doorstep. This kind of soil can satisfy hunger, but can not be digested and absorbed by the human body, after eating, the abdomen is distended, it is difficult to defecate, and a small amount of food is not fatal. Although they don't go hungry, they don't have to wait long to die because they don't have nutrition, but it's not as painful as starving to death. Chongzhen didn't know, he only knew that the Jurchens had to be destroyed, which required money. If the common people don't give money, then they can't be exterminated. If these people are not exterminated, not only will the country be in danger, but the people will suffer even more.

As soon as Ao Bai left Beijing, Chongzhen also began to be confused. He felt that the officials did not work, and in order to let these people work, he used the collection of money as an important basis for evaluating officials, and several officials had been thrown into prison by him because of the poor collection.

But the bastard officials under him are secretly profiting for themselves while levying them. He demanded a tael of silver, and the officials levied three taels from the common people, and the other two taels fell into the officials' own pockets.

As soon as the Donglin gang came to power, they increased the sea ban, abolished most of the commercial taxes, and concentrated all the financial pressure on the state in the hands of the peasants. The river supervision was withdrawn, and basically the money for water control went to the civil officials, and the eunuchs who collected the tea tax were removed, and the tea tax was basically embezzled by the civilian officials, and the eunuchs who withdrew the customs basically had no sea tax...... If this continues, how can the country not be finished?

However, to attack the Donglin Party is tantamount to attacking the big landlords, big capitalists, and big bureaucrats represented by the Donglin Party, which touches the interests of these rich people, and is easy to provoke popular revolt, which is an act of seeking death. But if you don't open the knife to the Donglin Party, you will slowly wait for death like the Ming Dynasty in history.

The family of the Jianghuai salt merchant obtained a part of the money, and Chongzhen proposed to relieve Shaanxi, but the ministers disagreed, saying that they had to wait a little longer in case of emergency. When is it from time to time?

Chongzhen is taking a dead end. He couldn't wait to find Ao Bai and return to Beijing to discuss what to do.

But today, Li Guo, the head of the cabinet, said: "Shanxi Heishizhai and Huang Peng have a close relationship, and the whole of Shanxi has fallen under Huang Peng's control. Shanxi did not implement the imperial court's tax standard under his instructions, and only collected two coins of silver per mu of land, but the money to pay taxes was secretly funded by Heishizhai. Heishizhai was formed by a group of displaced people, and Huang Peng let them have a large number of tuntian fields in Shanxi, but did not report to the imperial court. In Shanxi, everyone only knows Huang Peng but doesn't know the emperor. The minister also heard that he was not at the border a few days ago, but stayed in Xinzhou, and did not know what to do. ”

Chongzhen slapped his chair and shouted, "What evidence do you have for these things?" ”

Li Guodao: "Since the beginning of this year, a large number of displaced people have poured into Shanxi, and all of them have been resettled and accepted by Heishizhai. And before Huang Peng left Beijing, two foreigners from his family also went to Shanxi. The minister sent someone to secretly investigate, and only then did he know these inside stories. If Huang Peng rebelled in Shanxi, it would be too close to the capital, and the consequences would be unimaginable. ”

He Rupet became the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and now he is going to the court, he immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, you can't listen to these words, Lord Li is a bloody mouth." Huang Peng is Weichen's grandson-in-law, those two foreigners, both because of the Catholic President Long Huamin, the Catholic President Long Huamin only met, that Miss Anna "> admired Huang Peng, so she lived in Hefu, this time I went to Shanxi, I waited for him to meet when he arrived in Shanxi, so that we could return to Beijing together, others have been in the capital, and have never done anything unfavorable to the imperial court, the Jin merchants betrayed the country, and the Jianghuai salt merchants did not pay taxes, so what was wrong with cleaning them up? He went to Ningxia Town and helped the military families rob some wealth, wasn't it to relieve the pressure of the imperial court's arrears? A group of people who don't do anything, for the sake of their own status and interests, don't help or say anything, and insist on saying that loyal ministers are rebellion, you are so poisonous. ”

Xu Guangqi also stood up and said angrily: "Your Majesty, although Weichen and Huang Peng have known each other for a short time, they are old friends, and he is the most knowledgeable and talented young man I have ever met. Both civil and military. In the area of firearms, when he discussed with me, he proposed a method of mastering the skills of the people to control the country, and learning the essence of the science and technology of the foreigners to improve the national strength. He only met foreigners through me, if you want to say rebellion, why don't you say that the old man is rebellious? Just because the old man has no rights, he can't stop your money? ”

Li Guo smiled slightly and asked, "What about the Black Stone Village?" ”

Lai Zongdao also said: "Could it be that Shanxi's taxes can also be changed if he says so?" ”。

Chongzhen frowned, he was also a little puzzled, what was Ao Bai doing in Shanxi?

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and Ao Bai does not know his situation yet, and he is already in danger.
