Chapter 396: Laying a net of heaven and earth

This time, Zhang Jing assured the emperor that these eight huge business families were too important to the Ming Dynasty.

These people have already corroded the entire official defense system of Liaodong completely.

Only by taking them down completely can we take away this untold wealth and use it for our own use.

At that time, Daming can have a little hope.

The fall of the Ming Dynasty was caused by land annexation, and the most terrible problem of land annexation was the disappearance of yeoman farmers.

The disappearance of the yeoman peasants meant that the imperial court had no stable source of soldiers, the financial system had been completely destroyed, and the large landowners and gentry after the annexation gained power commensurate with their economic power.

If you start to solve the problem of land annexation now, there will be a big mess, in fact, the Emperor of the Apocalypse has not tried to solve it.

But the effect was very average, he used Wei Zhongxian to set up town guards and eunuchs in various places, and tried to collect taxes from these places.

This not only triggered a backlash from the entire gentry group, but also caused turmoil in the government and the opposition, and most importantly, the effect of tax collection...... Not good.

To put it bluntly, the cost is high, but the benefit is small.

It is too simplistic to expect a few eunuchs to go to the places and want the gentry and powerful people in these places to obey them.

But the Emperor of the Apocalypse had no other way, and all he could rely on was these eunuchs.

Can ...... now For Daming, there is a new path.

That is to get a large amount of wealth, with which a system can be re-established to replace the original system.

Of course, this road is very difficult and tortuous, after all, nothing can be solved by money, but with money, many things will be solved in the end.

So...... Zhang Jingyi must get this money.

As soon as Zhang Jing left the palace, he went directly to Xinxian.

Soon, a meeting began.

There were quite a few people who came.

From the system of Jinyiwei to the military academy, Lu Xiangsheng from the county also came, not only that, but Huang Taiji was also specially called by Zhang Jingyi to audit.

Zhang Jingyi directly told the truth of the matter in front of everyone.

These people, except for Huang Taiji, the rest are Zhang Jingyi's henchmen.

Zhang Jingyi trusted them and did not hide it from them.

In Zhang Jingyi's view, to do great things, you must first employ people, and the essence of employing people lies in trusting people.

Zhang Jingyi then said: "There are many people here who participated in the execution of the Li family and the arrest of the emperor Tian Shenglan, and they have made contributions, but these are not enough, we should chase after the poor with the remaining bravery, and we must not let these businessmen continue to be at large, so ...... I decided to lure them in, and now ...... I'll do the ...... of the layout."

Saying that, Zhang Jingyi continued: "From now on, we will set up an atmosphere in the capital, that is, ...... Something happened in the capital! ”

"On the one hand, I will implore Your Majesty to transfer a teaching team to guard the palace ban. On the other hand, His Majesty will not continue to go to court, and even if he wants to see the minister, it will only be to announce that the minister will enter the university to meet him. Besides...... The defense of the capital should be strengthened, and it is necessary to ask Gonggong Wei to send a part of the warrior battalion to Zhangjiakou in Datong to set up defenses and strictly guard the pass. ”

"In addition, that is to invite Huang Taiji to come out......"

Huang Taiji has been sitting in the corner.

Here, he seemed unaccustomed.

Ever since he decided to take refuge with Zhang Jingyi, he has had nothing to do.

Being suddenly called today, and suddenly participating in the secret, made him very anxious.

His first thought when he heard these confidential matters...... Not rejoicing, but fear.

When a person like him hears something he shouldn't hear, he thinks that the first thing is to die, after all, only the dead will not reveal secrets.

At this time, Zhang Jingyi was called by his name, Huang Taiji was stunned at first, and then hurriedly stood up.

Zhang Jing said: "I want to order you to go to Liaodong, in Liaodong, and negotiate peace with the Jiannu people." ”

"Peace?" Huang Taiji was stunned again.

In his impression, it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to negotiate peace, and over the years, although there will be some Ming ministers who have negotiated peace, but in fact, they are all fooling!

Because the Ming court ...... There is a natural aversion to peace, if anyone talks about peace, someone will immediately move out of the example of the Song Dynasty, and then be scolded for being bloody.

"Of course, it's not really a peace negotiation." Zhang Jingyi gave him a bottom, and then said: "It's about making peace, you can talk about anything, even ...... Mutual markets are also available. ”

Huang Taiji became more and more surprised, but he nodded very dryly: "Yes." ”

Then, Huang Taiji sat down, his mind becoming more complicated.

Zhang Jingyi said: "These eight businessmen...... After leaving the customs, where did the escape go, you must find out! This is ...... It's handed over to Wang Cheng, so many people...... It's impossible that there are no clues, it's really not possible, you can go to Beizhen Fusi to get information! Don't worry, give me any time to get it, if someone in Beizhen Fusi dares to stop it, it will be Tian Ergeng's face, I won't give it, I will smash his dog's head. ”

So Wang Cheng hurriedly stood up and said, "Obey." ”

"Here in the prison, find a way to continue to ask for some information from Tian Shenglan's body. Of course, be careful with the torture, you have to save his dog's life! However, for the sake of the family's interests, it is difficult to distinguish between what this person said is true or false, so it must be carefully screened! ”

"And ...... The post stations everywhere, especially those leading to the outside of the passes, as well as the passes everywhere, must be secretly watched...... I'm staring at them all to death. ”

As soon as Zhang Jing said that, he slapped him twice before he said again: "Okay, from now on, everyone will go and do their own things and disband." ”

"Yikes." Deng Jian stood up and couldn't help but say, "That's it?" ”

"That's right." Zhang Jing said: "That's it." ”

Deng Jian couldn't help but say: "You want to fool people into the prison like this? They're not stupid. ”

Zhang Jingyi felt that his IQ was despised!

Zhang Jingyi's face fell, and he glared at him unkindly: "I suspect that you are suspecting Benhou for incompetence." ”

Deng Jian snorted: "This ...... Can't. ”

"Then take care of what you're doing." Zhang Jing said: "Disband!" ”

The crowd responded with a bang and dispersed.

However, the emperor did not dare to go.

When everyone is gone.

Huang Taiji stood up and said, "Xinxian Hou." ”

Zhang Jingyi sat behind the desk, originally took a notebook, and was about to take a charcoal pen to write down something, but at this time he only looked up at Huang Taiji: "Well, what's the matter?" ”

Huang Taiji stepped forward and said, "The Marquis of Xinxian asked me to go to Liaodong...... Even if you go to contact the Jiannu people, don't you worry about me...... Ran away? ”

Zhang Jing raised his head and smiled at him, "Sit down and say." ”

Huang Taiji sat down, he had to be cautious, the ghost knew if he would be killed halfway.

Zhang Jing put down her pen.

Then he looked at Huang Taiji and said, "I believe you won't do this, of course, the reason why this is so is because I believe in myself and you." ”

"Huh?" Huang Taiji was stunned for a moment, but continued to look at Zhang Jingyi directly, he knew that Zhang Jingyi had something to say.

Zhang Jingyi said: "I believe in myself, you should have been in Xinxian for some days, you are a smart person, you know what this Xinxian is like now, here...... Will it become the hope of the world, and how is it compared to your Eight Banners? People in this world, no one is born timid, no one is born brave, the key to solving people's problems lies in the organization, the reason why you Jiannu people can take advantage of the situation, it is precisely because you are united as one, can effectively organize people. And the internal and external troubles of the Ming Dynasty are precisely the defeat of this. Now the new county, is to take a road to organize people, people make the best use of their talents, make the best use of things, I believe that the future of the world, must be the appearance of the new county, think you will also hope, the future of Liaodong, is like this? ”

Huang Taiji was silent.

In the past, he was contemptuous of the Han people in Liaodong. On the one hand, this contempt stems from the fact that they are enemies of each other; On the other hand, it is also because Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty is like a plate of scattered sand, with countless populations and many officers and soldiers, but in fact, it is ...... Most of them have their own thoughts.

The new county does give a completely different look.

"Other than that...... I also believe in you, I believe that you are an extremely intelligent person. You took refuge in my Daming, do things for my Daming, at least you and your wife and children, after all, are safe, your wife and children are in Jiannu, Dolgon will definitely give some care, because in any case, you are also his brother, and his throne also comes from you, although you defected to Daming here, disgraced the Jiannu people, but in order to unite the entire Jiannu Department, Dolgon will always recognize the status of your wife and children, and give some preferential treatment. ”

"But have you ever thought about what the situation would be if you returned to Jiannu? Don't forget, you were once Jiannu Khan, and once you return, where are you going to put Dorgon? This is just like when Prince Yue wanted to welcome Huizong and Qinzong back to the court, if they really go back, will there be good fruits to eat? At this point, I believe that you think more thoroughly than me, if you go back to Jiannu, then ...... There is no room for manoeuvre, and the first thing Dorgon is to kill you as much as he can, and if he does it to you, he will kill your wife and children in order to never suffer again. Your brotherly love is completely gone. Would you like to see that happen? ”

Huang Taiji smiled and said, "I have been calculated clearly by you. ”

Zhang Jingyi shook his head and said: "I didn't count you, since you are willing to defect to me, then I will naturally rest assured that I will leave the matter to you, as long as you complete my intentions, I will reward you...... You know my style, even if you don't know it now, you will know it in the future! Okay, go back and prepare, and wait for the will of the palace. ”

Huang Taiji nodded, got up and said, "Yes." ”
