Chapter 81 The Manchu Qing Dynasty Enters the Customs
Wu Anhou is the pathfinder pushed out by many officials in Nanjing.
If Wu Anhou can really say that Luo is nourishing, then it is a big deal for everyone to pay an extra 350,000 taels of silver, which is nothing for their millions of family fortunes.
However, everyone didn't expect that Wu Anhou was so stupid that he didn't discuss it privately, and went directly to mobilize troops and horses, wanting to use force.
Originally, if you can use the strong to use the strong, if you can oppress the Jinyi Guard with the general trend, maybe you can also make Chongzhen compromise, after all, this is not BJ, Chongzhen's control over the south is almost zero, and there are no soldiers and horses. The vassal kings of the world are ready to move!
This kind of thing has not happened in history. Let's just say that Chongzhen's ascension to the throne was a palace change launched by a group of civil officials.
Of course, no one would have embarked on this path unless they had to do so.
However, no one expected that Wu Anhou would be so useless, he would be defeated directly, and all five hundred soldiers and horses would be wiped out.
Chongzhen, when he sent soldiers and horses into Nanjing City, these officials did not know anything about their entry.
The unknown is what is fearful.
They didn't know how many soldiers and horses Chongzhen still had hidden in the shadows, and they didn't know when a flying axe would fall on his head.
Therefore, when Luo Yangxing wiped out Wu Anhou's family, the next thing went much smoother.
Although the officials of Nanjing City were not angry, they honestly took out the account books and counted the family property.
Fortunately for them, antique jade and the like can be converted into gold and silver in proportion. As long as you can keep the silver, what is some antique jade and the like? Playing antiques in peaceful and prosperous times, hiding gold in troubled times. Gold and silver are the most important things.
The reason why Luo Yangxing wantonly collected these rare treasures and antique jade was naturally due to Chongzhen's instructions.
These rare treasures can be exchanged for a large number of points, on the contrary, those gold and silver can be exchanged for much less. Although the treasury of the Ming Dynasty is empty, since this period of time, more than 50 million taels of gold and silver have been copied in BJ, and more than 30 million taels of gold and silver have been copied from various vassal kings, which is enough to cope with the expenses for a period of time. For Chongzhen, the top priority is to collect more points, exchange them for weapons in the system, and sweep the world.
Chongzhen has already set his sights on several weapons in the system, and his saliva is about to flow out.
At this moment, outside the door, a dark shadow quietly walked in and sent an urgent secret report.
The table was smashed with a slap.
After reading the secret report, Chongzhen's face sank suddenly, the anger in his eyes was almost burning, he waved his hand to sweep away the debris in front of him, and said in a low voice: "Go, call Luo Yangxing." ”
After a while, Luo Yangxing hurried over, still holding the account book in his hand, and reported: "Your Majesty, the officials in Nanjing City have been confiscated eighty percent, because you have told to focus on rare treasures and antique jade, so there is less gold and silver, only eight million taels, but there are countless treasures of all kinds, and I have let the brocade guard transport it to the palace!"
"Good work!" Chongzhen bowed slightly.
"To be able to serve His Majesty and serve the Ming Dynasty, this is the blessing of the minister!"
"Forget it, don't say that!"
Chongzhen waved his hand, threw the previous secret report to the other party, and said, "This is an eight-hundred-mile rush from the north, look at it!"
The Manchu cavalry entered the pass, the red lady led the Guanning iron cavalry to block, the two sides fought, the Guanning iron cavalry suffered heavy losses, and even the red lady was hit by an arrow and was seriously injured.
On the secret report, the handwriting is scribbled and stained with blood, which shows how eager the person who wrote it is.
"Liaodong is in danger, do you want to send a large army to support Liaodong?" There is obviously no doubt about the support, but the point is that there are no troops to mobilize at this time.
"Liaodong is not a problem, with the Red Lady and the tens of thousands of border troops, the Manchu Qing Dynasty will not be able to defeat it for a while and a half. It's BJ that's dangerous!"
Chongzhen's finger fell on the map and said: "As mentioned in the Red Lady's letter, this group of Manchu cavalry wanted to bypass Shanhaiguan and attack BJ with light troops, but they discovered it and stopped it. If it hadn't been discovered in time, I'm afraid this group of Tartars would have hit BJ City by now!"
Hearing this, the cold sweat on Luo Yangxing's head came down. He knows exactly what the combat effectiveness of those soldiers in BJ City is. Before, it was Chongzhen's personal strength that he repelled Li Zicheng. Now that Chongzhen is not here, the dragons have no leader, if they encounter more powerful tartars, I am afraid that they will not be able to support one day and will fall, and at that time, the wealth of the entire BJ will be taken away, and even, there are concubines in the palace, what kind of blow will it cause to Chongzhen, the emperor?
Chongzhen continued: "This group of Tartar cavalry, the purpose is very clear, they are heading for the empty BJ City!"
"However, Your Majesty has just exerted his might and defeated Li Zicheng's army of hundreds of thousands, how can these Tartars not have the slightest fear?" Luo Yangxing felt that things were strange.
"Haha, I'm afraid, these people already knew that I wasn't in BJ City!"
Chongzhen's eyes flashed with coldness, and he sneered: "It seems that our Daming country is full of Tartar eyeliner everywhere, otherwise, how could they be so clear about my whereabouts?"
When Luo Yangxing heard this, his heart suddenly chuckled.
In the world, the only intelligence network can do this to such an extent, and only Jinyiwei is the only one.
"Your Majesty, the minister guarantees with his head, and Jinyiwei definitely has no collusion with the Tartars! Moreover, although the minister can collect information from all over the world, it is limited to the Ming Dynasty, and even if there is information, it cannot be sent outside the customs!" Luo Yangxing said with trepidation.
Chongzhen was slightly stunned, and immediately understood Luo's scruples, waved his hand, and said, "I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about the group of Jin merchants who eat inside and out!"
Jin Shang!
Luo Yangxing's eyes shrank slightly. The reputation of the Jin merchants is known to everyone, no one knows it, and the family wealth is hundreds of millions, so it can be said that even the merchants in these rich places in the south of the Yangtze River are not as good as the Jin merchants.
Why were the Jin merchants able to collect so much money? There are only two words -- "smuggling."
The Ming Dynasty has always imposed a material blockade on the northern countries, which is the reason why the nomads in the north have not been able to grow for hundreds of years.
The Jin merchants, who originally provided supplies to the border army of the Ming Dynasty, braved the disapproval of the world for money, communicated with foreign countries, made friends with Houjin, financed enemy weapons, grain and grass, intelligence, and even bought and sold people as slaves.
Otherwise, how could the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which was even more remote and desolate than Mongolia, grow rapidly in a few decades?
What is more than 10,000 cavalry, and more than 10,000 invincible? It's all bullshit! You let him try it without weapons, grain, and grass! The Manchu cavalry was unable to break through the Ming Dynasty at first, and it was because of this group of Jin merchants who supported gunpowder and artillery that the Manchu Qing had the strength to attack the city.
It can be said that the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, and the Jin merchants contributed a lot!
"These damn bastards!" Luo Yangxing also gritted his teeth, fortunately the emperor was aware of everything, otherwise he would have called them Jinyi Wei to take the blame. No one expected that this group of businessmen would dare to commit treason, and there was such a big force.
This is also because of the decline of Jinyiwei and the chaos of the country, otherwise, the Jin merchants would not have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. In other words, in the Hongwu and Yongle periods, smuggling? The next day, Jinyiwei will come to the door.
"The situation in the north is very critical and I have to get there myself. The Jin merchant will be handed over to you to investigate. ”
Chongzhen threw out a piece of information and said: "The information of the Jin merchants here, remember, I want the money, and I want the people! When I come back from pacifying the north, I will scrape this group of things inside and outside in front of the people of the world!"
Intelligence, naturally, is redeemed from the system. The Jin merchants were not famous in this era, but after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, they became imperial merchants, and everyone in the world knew about it. In later generations, there were still many descendants of Jin merchants who proudly showed off on the Internet. Luo Ye had to thank their descendants, otherwise it would not be so easy to collect these materials. That is, I don't know what expressions these guys will have when they know that their ancestors are going to be killed by their data.
