Can the sixtieth section switch be borne by the peak of the 10,000 fingers (above)

In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, after the Liaodong Prefecture negotiated peace with the Later Jin for the first time, the Karaqin Mongols formed an alliance with the Later Jin. In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Yan Mingtai swore not to negotiate peace with the Later Jin, and the Karaqin Mongols made an alliance with the Later Jin. Seeing that the Karaqin Mongols had been wandering between the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin, in the first year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty rewarded the Karaqin Mongols and the Chahar Mongols with a total of 360,000 taels of silver to stimulate them to go to war with the Later Jin.

However, the Chahar Mongols and the Karaqin Mongols attacked each other, and the Ming Dynasty was helpless against them. The Karaqin Mongols asked the Ming to mediate several times, but the Ming were always reluctant to anger the Chahar Mongols, because they also hoped that the Chahar would go to attack Houjin.

In the first month of the second year of Chongzhen, after the Liaodong Prefecture negotiated peace with the Houjin again, the Karaqin Mongols and the Karakha Mongols, who were completely disappointed in the future, once again allied with the Emperor Taiji.

By the end of February of the second year of Chongzhen, the Karaqin Mongols had already compiled the flags, and the Houjin quickly completed the work of incorporating them, and set up the Mongolian Eight Banners in addition to the Manchurian Eight Banners. Soon, the "King of Shunyi" canonized by the Ming court defected to Houjin, and the Mongolian Eight Banners already had two flags.

In the second year of Chongzhen, there was a great hunger outside the Saiwai, and various Mongolian ministries asked for rice in the border city of the Ming Dynasty. The Karaqin Mongols, also known as the Later Jin Dynasty's Eight Banners, also made a similar request, and the court thought that rice could not be sold to the Later Jin army.

Yuan Chonghuan first asked Chongzhen for 700,000 taels of silver, and Chongzhen said that he did not have so much money, because the sea tax, mining tax and other industrial and commercial taxes were stopped, and the tea tax was greatly reduced. As for this year's salt tax, it has not yet been collected. Yuan Chonghuan did not comply, saying that if he did not issue domestic currency, Guan Ningjun would be at risk of mutiny.

This statement angered Wen Tiren of the cabinet, since Chongzhen stopped the industrial and commercial tax, the border armies of Ningxia and Xuanda, which used to rely on domestic currency support, have lost their sources of military salaries, Wen Tiren argued: Pingliang Town owes 700,000 taels of military salaries, Xi'an owes 800,000 taels of military salaries, and the Qin army does not mutiny; Yansui owed 1.5 million taels of military salaries, and the soldiers had not been paid military salaries for 27 July. But the three sides do not mutiny; The Xuanda army has not been paid for thirteen months, of which Xuanzhen has even stopped military rations for five months, and the Xuanda army still relies on borrowing money from merchants to survive without mutiny; Guan Ningjun took seventy percent of the state's fiscal revenue. They're going to mutiny!

However, Chongzhen rejected Wen Tiren's vote, and still squeezed 300,000 taels of silver for Yuan Chonghuan to transport, and Yuan Chonghuan, who was brave enough to do things, excused himself from insufficient military salaries, and once again ordered Ning Yuan's military rations to be sold to the Houjin army, and did not report to the imperial court.

At the beginning of March, rumors spread across the border that the Karaqin Mongols were stockpiling military rations for the south. Chen Renxi, editor of the Hanlin Academy, happened to inspect the border pass. He hurriedly played the imperial court, and there were 10,000 men from the Karaqin Mongol tribe, of which 8,000 transported the Ming army's military rations outside Ningyuan Pass, and more than 400 men from the Eight Banners of Jindi.

Chongzhen, who had no idea about this, was shocked when he heard the news, and he immediately issued an order to severely reprimand Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, "It is reported that Xiyi City bought goods, obviously to answer Dongyi, and borrowed money to steal." Chongzhen ordered Yuan Chonghuan to immediately stop selling military rations to the Houjin army and give an explanation for his behavior.

Yuan Chonghuan did not hesitate to resist the order, he blockaded Dongjiang Town and wanted to starve Mao Wenlong to death, and on the other hand, he sold military rations to the enemy, and at the same time vowed to reassure Chongzhen on behalf of the Houjin Mengbaqi: "These people are begging and are willing to take their wives as hostages." Guarantee that you will not dare to lure slaves into Jiliao. ”

After the Ming court received the report, Chongzhen once again ordered that it was strictly forbidden to sell grain to the Houjin army. The city of Songnei bought cloth and silk in the east, and it was clear that it was to receive it, so why should it control slaves? "Since Yuan Chonghuan guaranteed five years of peace in Liao, Emperor Chongzhen has not once rejected Yuan Chonghuan's recital, so Emperor Chongzhen opened a small opening for Yuan Chonghuan again, allowing Yuan Chonghuan to count rations and provide grain, but not to trade. Otherwise, it will be punished as "Tongyi". And Yuan Chonghuan once again resisted and disobeyed......

At this time, in the western part of the Ming Empire, Shaanxi Province had not had a single rain for a year. Most of the people fed on the bark of trees. In September, when the bark was exhausted, the people began to eat the soil and rocks to relieve their filling, and within a few days, their bellies rose and died. Yang He asked Emperor Chongzhen to allocate 100,000 taels of silver for disaster relief, but the Son of Heaven flatly refused.

At the same age, Henan was hungry and cannibalistic, and like Shaanxi, the hungry people in Henan soon began to eat human flesh and use human bones to make fire and stew soup. The Henan and Shaanxi political divisions implored Emperor Chongzhen to at least exempt the disaster area from paying taxes, and the Son of Heaven replied "I know", but the taxes still have to be collected, and if they can't collect them, the local officials will be dismissed and fined.

Under the strict order of Emperor Chongzhen, the political departments of Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Henan dispatched border troops to collect grain and silver, and grabbed ninety percent of the tax amount from the people in the disaster area, and completed the task assigned by the Son of Heaven. After Emperor Chongzhen tried his best to loot the people's fat and ointment, he then transported these grains stained with the blood and tears of the people to Ningyuan, and then sold them to the Houjin army by Yuan Chonghuan.

With the unremitting trade between the Liaodong Metropolitan Government and the Houjin Army, the amount of grain sold by Yuan Chonghuan to the Houjin Army could not be counted, and this unprecedented large-scale grain trade led to the Liaodong Metropolitan Governor's "thirst for border reserves", and the Guanning Army and the Liaodong Metropolitan Government sold grain until their own reserves were not enough to maintain military operations.

......

October 9th, Jingshi

After receiving the news of the success of Jinghai in Fujian a few days ago, the emperor ordered Zhu Yifeng and Huangshi to be commended, and in addition, the emperor also read Zhu Yifeng's recital three or four times.

Zhu Yifeng boasted about his merits again in his recital, and he said that once the Jinghai tax began, he would soon be able to repay the money owed to the people. In order to prove that he was not bragging, Zhu Yifeng also took the initiative to express his willingness to serve as the governor of Fujian for a few more years, until he paid off his debts and then left his position to the next governor cleanly.

This kind of self-confident performance made Chongzhen sigh for a long time, when the cabinet proposed the vote is "excellent edict to hear", but Chongzhen is particularly insufficient, the emperor said to the cabinet, what he admires most is not Zhu Yifeng's confidence, although this is rare in the Ming Dynasty. But it's not Zhu Yifeng's alone. What touched Chongzhen the most was Zhu Yifeng's sense of responsibility, for hundreds of years, most of the Ming officials were pasteers, and they did not hesitate to dig up the corners of the wall to whitewash the wall when they were in office, but what they left behind after they left was a mess, and it was too rare to see a diligent and honest person like Zhu Yifeng.

As a result, the emperor greatly rewarded Zhu Yifeng, and encouraged him to work hard, and if the repayment of the money would be smooth in two years. Chonghuan is likely to promote him to the rank of head of the household department or directly to the cabinet.

Today, it is Wen Tiren's turn and Li Biao are working in Wenyuan Pavilion, and they are playing for the concerts from all over the country. Among them, Zhu Yifeng's made Wen Tiren interested. Zhu Yifeng replied to the emperor's decree as quickly as possible. At the same time, he resolutely stated that he was not qualified for the emperor's promotion. Regarding the issue of Jinghai's big loan last time, Zhu Yifeng played another role this time, saying that if he could not personally "repay the last two pieces of silver from the land of the righteous people", he would sleep restlessly.

In addition, Zhu Yifeng also told the imperial court that there may be a recurrence of maritime affairs, and now that the sea is settled, people's hearts are not very stable. Therefore, Zhu Yifeng felt that it would be better for the state to let him work for a while longer, so as not to cause extraneous branches. In addition to the above reasons, Zhu Yifeng also said that his talent was insufficient, that is, the level of the governor, he was afraid that he would not be able to be of great use, and he would never be able to take on such an important task as the head of the household department or the minister.

In the end, Zhu Yifeng also said that he had some physical problems, and the doctor said that he needed a special sea sand worm in Fujian to be used as a medicine primer to treat, and this sea sand worm must also be a living creature that has just been dug out of the soil on the seabed. If the water comes out of the water for more than an hour, it will not work. Zhu Yifeng's thousand words can actually be summed up in one sentence, that is, he does not want to leave Fujian, and he will die in the post of governor of Fujian.

Wen Tiren read Zhu Yifeng's tirade to Li Biao, and then laughed: "Other people have sharpened their heads and want to be Beijing officials, but this Lord Zhu is desperately resigned, and he is afraid to avoid the Six Ministries and the Cabinet." Is this Fujian governor so good?"

"Fujian has a lot of mountains and little land, and it has never been self-sufficient in grain, and it has always relied on imports from Zhejiang, Jiangxi or Huguang. After Li Biao finished speaking, he checked the agricultural taxes of several provinces, among which Fujian was the least, and the agricultural taxes were small, so there were naturally fewer opportunities to take the opportunity to rub oil. However, even if the agricultural tax is as large as Huguang and Zhejiang, I don't want to enter Beijing without hearing about the governor.

Then there is only one reason left. Li Biao commented: "Huangshi is also very capable. Zhu Yifeng wants to make a profit. ”

Wen Tiren asked in surprise: "Isn't Haikou flat?" Zhu Yifeng has already fished all the side skills that can be fished. ”

"Oh, Wen Ge doesn't know. Last month, Zhu Yifeng came to write another letter. It is a plea to send troops to fight against the Japanese Satsuma Domain. "The ticket for this concert last time was drafted by Li Biao, so Li Biao knew it very clearly, and Wen Tiren happened to be sick when this piece came, so he was not there: "The emperor has approved it." ”

Wen Tiren became interested when he heard it: "But Japan is a country that is not conquered." ”

Then he frowned again: "How much silver will this cost?" ”

"I don't spend a penny or silver, it is the Fujian Political Secretary who prepares it himself, and it will not delay next year's taxes. Li Biao didn't quite understand why Zhu Yifeng was so able to make money. Several members of the cabinet have never understood where Zhu Yifeng scraped out so much silver: "It's not to attack Japan, it's to protect the Ryukyus." ”

"Oh?"

"In the recital of Lord Zhu, it is said that there are many Japanese who surrendered and there are many Japanese who are entrenched in the Ryukyus, and most of them are Japanese in the Satsuma Domain. In order to ensure the smooth flow of the waterways in Fujian, Lord Zhu ordered the Funing Town Water Division to attack, and Ryukyu is a vassal of my Ming Dynasty, and the Funing Military Division is famous, and the victory is enough to carry forward the national prestige. ”

This matter is a matter of face and substance, and it doesn't cost the court's money, so Chongzhen and the cabinet immediately approved it. Huangshi could send troops from Xiapu, and the entire military operation was coordinated by Zhu Yifeng, and at the same time, it also issued a letter to Shandong, Zhejiang and other places, allowing the Funing Army to temporarily stop and replenish fresh water and food.

"It's no wonder, Huangshi is invincible, isn't it the same as playing a few pirates?" Wen Tiren nodded, so it makes a lot more reasonable to say this: "It seems that Zhu Yifeng doesn't get all the military merits, he won't go." ”

......

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen summoned Zhang Heming, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, and recently the cabinet reminded the emperor to pay attention to Jizhen. The emperor gave Zhang Heming two copies of Mao Wenlong's previous recitals:

"Zhi Sining is far away from the slave must be attacked, and its shortcut is especially in Xifengkou, a piece of stone, Panjiakou, Qiangziling and other places. It is urgent to deal with the key points in other places and set up suspicious soldiers. If you don't listen to your words, if you are captured, if you enter a no-man's land, will the court be worried?"

After reading Mao Wenlong's recital, Zhang Heming thought about it for a while and said, "Holy Lord." Mao Shuai's words before his death were just speculation. It is not said that Jianyu will definitely attack Jizhen. ”

"There's one more here. Chongzhen said that he handed over another piece of Mao Wenlong before his death, and this statement was much more certain. Mao Wenlong directly reported: "...... The four princes sent troops to the west, and it was true that they wanted to go to Xifeng, a piece of stone and other roads. ”

Zhang Heming pondered for a while, and then said: "Holy Lord, Gu Laochen knows that Governor Jiliao has always thought that Jianyu will not make a detour to Jizhen Town, right?"

"Hmm. Inspector Yuan said that the Karaqin Mongols were loyal, a solid barrier to Jizhen, and also the 'Great Wall of Meat' for me, and Inspector Yuan also said that commentators were worried that the Jianyu would sweep the western Mongolia, cross the Liao and attack the mountains and seas, Xifeng and other places. But the strange path is also a dangerous way, and since they have raised their armies, they have not resorted to a perfect solution. Governor Yuan expected that he would not cross the border to attack other places. ”

"However, the strange road is also dangerous...... It is expected that he will not cross the border and he will attack. Zhang Heming softly recited Yuan Chonghuan's previous recitals, and then lowered his head to taste the meaning of a few recitals.

Chongzhen waited for a long time and didn't wait for Zhang Heming to say a word of truth, so he hurriedly took out the other people's concerto. In these recitals, most of them mentioned the seriousness of the Houjin army's soldiers approaching Jimen, and Zhang Heming looked at them slowly and methodically. Chongzhen stared at him hopefully, and after a long time, he asked, "What does Elder Zhang have in mind?" ”

Zhang Heming pondered for a moment. Then he raised his head and asked, "Holy Lord, does Inspector Ji Liao still insist that Liao Town is more important than Ji Town?"

"Yes, Inspector Yuan transferred Zhao Shuaidi's 4,000 pro-troops from Jizhen to Shanhaiguan to garrison, and also reduced 10,000 soldiers in Jizhen, and stopped the food and salary of Jizhen to supply Liaozhen. ”

Zhang Heming immediately nodded, and even praised it: "The Holy Wisdom is wise, the Jiliao Inspector still transferred Zhao Shuai from Jizhen to Shanhaiguan, which shows that in the mind of the Jiliao Supervisor, Shanhaiguan is more dangerous than Jizhen." But the Jiliao Governor is in Ningyuan, and there are Jinzhou and other forts in front of him. There is a front tun behind it. Shanhaiguan is already a hinterland, so the Jiliao Governor must think that Jizhen is foolproof. ”

Chongzhen listened patiently to Zhang Heming. Cai Yu said with a smile: "Elder Zhang said it well, I also see it this way, but what I want to know is what Elder Zhang thinks of Jizhen and Liaozhen, not what Inspector Yuan thinks." ”

"This ......" Zhang Heming twisted his snow-white long beard again, and after thinking about it for a while, he talked eloquently: "Shengshang! The art of war has clouds, not moving like a mountain, moving like thunder, Ji Liao Governor gathered the male soldiers in Liao Town, there is a tiger in the mountain, the building captives are left and right, intending to find a gap and enter, this is the narrow road to meet the brave wins, the brave meet the wise wins!"

"What Elder Zhang sees is very true, but is there a possibility that Jizhen will be soldiered? Does Elder Zhang think that the arrangement of the Governor of Jiliao is appropriate?"

"Saint, the art of war has clouds, soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, and those who can move according to the time and situation can be said to use soldiers like gods!"

"Well, what Zhang Lao said is, but I just want to know if it is appropriate to transfer Zhao Shuai from Jizhen to Shanhai, and whether the defense of Jizhen is enough. ”

"Holy Lord, there are clouds in the art of war, those who are good at attacking move above the nine heavens, and those who are good at defending are hiding under the nine earths!"

......

The emperor personally sent Zhang Heming out of the palace, and when he walked back, he sat down in a daze, and after a while, he suddenly asked Cao Huachun beside him: "I have seen Master Zhang's barbaric strategy several times, it is really wonderful." Huang Shuai also praised Mr. Zhang very much, saying that Mr. Zhang had made every effort in advance and anticipated the enemy's opportunities everywhere, and the cabinet people were also full of praise for Mr. Zhang...... Well, why did I ask him about him, Boss Zhang is always so cloudy?"

Cao Huachun accompanied him and said cautiously: "Long live Lord, Weichen dares to guess, is it that Master Zhang borrowed Huang Shuai's east wind?"

"Impossible!" As soon as Cao Huachun opened his mouth, Chongzhen categorically rejected his opinion: "Huang Shuaizhen has seen it, and he is definitely not a sycophant. Well, Huang Shuaidi and Inspector Yuan are also between the best, alas. It's a pity that they don't agree with each other in civil and military affairs, and after Yuan Inspector has pacified Liao for five years, I will be a peacemaker for them again. ”

After finishing speaking, Chongzhen frowned again, he carefully recalled today's conversation with Zhang Heming, shook his head regretfully and said, "It's like this every time, every time I don't say much." Zhang Lao quoted a lot of scriptures, but he pondered carefully afterwards. It seems that I am the only one who is talking, and Zhang Lao has not said anything. ”

......

On October 10, Zhu Yifeng read out the imperial court's decree in Quanzhou, and then solemnly handed it over to Huangshi: "Yu'er Wakou, offended my vassal for no reason, and now the imperial court has ordered a crusade, and Huang Shuai is reluctant." ”

"Yes. Lord Zhu can rest assured that the last general will definitely show off his prestige overseas and live up to the trust of the imperial court. ”

Huang Shi was dressed in military uniform and strode away from the Fujian Provincial Government Office. Many of the people of Quanzhou stood outside the door and shouted at Huangshi: "Huang Shuai, teach those Japanese robbers a good lesson, and let them know how powerful our Ming is!"

Now Fujian has returned to normal, after the lifting of the sea ban. Huang Shi ordered the entire Funing Army to go out to help the people rebuild their homes. Moreover, Huangshi also ordered to use the surplus money borrowed from Jinghai to buy red bricks from the factories of the Dark Council to build houses for fishermen near the sea. Of course, Huang Shi and Zhu Yifeng also hyped up their moral policies in the Di newspaper, announcing that this was to thank the righteous people for their support for the Fujian Governor's decree in the past two years.

In the past, few fishermen could afford to live in brick houses, and most of their houses were built with wooden planks and mud. Now that two new brick factories have been opened in Fujian, Huangshi's use of bricks to build houses for the people is not only beneficial to the people, but also beneficial to supporting the construction of the brick factory.

In just a few months, Huangshi had already issued a military ticket for the town of Funing worth 10 million taels of silver, which of course quickly caused inflation. However, this large amount of currency also made barter in Fujian Province more frequent, because Fujian merchants generally accepted paper money, and as a result, it suddenly established prestige in the hearts of the people.

The military stamps of Funing Town were originally mortgaged by Jinghai tax and other taxes, so merchants from other provinces could also use the military stamps of Funing Town to pay off the Jinghai tax. In order to help the flow of military tickets in Funing Town, Huangshi also announced that the Jinghai tax can be discounted when it is repaid with the military tickets of Funing Town, which makes the military tickets even stronger.

Because all silver ingots have a quality problem, Funing Town collects various taxes such as Jinghai tax. Silver ingots with insufficient fineness must be converted. The military ticket is full of silver, and it is worth more than the purest official silver, which is more than ninety percent or five. So by the beginning of October. It is no longer possible to exchange one or two silver ingots for one or two military tickets in Funing Town, and it even takes three taels to exchange for two taels of military tickets in Funing Town.

Of course, this benefited many businessmen and people who were the first to buy military tickets, and the credit of military tickets has also been rising. Now Zhu Yi Feng Qingtian's reputation is even louder, I heard that Governor Zhu has recently planned to stop or reduce the collection of his subordinates' money, and Zhu Qingtian, who holds a dry stock of the exchange, is now not very affordable to a few taels of silver.

This cadre stock Huangshi can only be paid until the end of Zhu Yifeng's term of office, and Governor Zhu is also well aware of this, so he has been campaigning desperately recently, hoping to stay in Fujian as governor forever. In addition to Zhu Yifeng, the officials of the Fujian Political Department also cried and shouted that they refused to leave, because thirty percent of the Jinghai tax was given to the Fujian Political Division, and they had been looking forward to this extra money for a long time.

Because Huangshi controlled the waterways of Fujian, Funing Town actually collected all the tariffs of the whole Ming Dynasty. In addition to customs duties, he can also receive a large amount of maritime trade taxes. The Jinghai tax is expected to reach as much as 5 million taels a year, and the more than 1,000 officials of the Fujian Provincial Government Department will be able to receive as much as 1.5 million taels.

In this way, there is only one outsider left in the Fujian Political Division, that is, the Fujian Inspector Imperial History.

The Inspector is a local official who has no real power at all, and there is not much oil and water. Daming has been in operation for hundreds of years, and all kinds of unspoken rules have matured, and there are rules on what money should be collected and what money should not be closed. Under normal circumstances, since Zhu Yifeng and Huang Shi swept away the pirates, they were not too afraid that the patrol would be able to bring them down.

However, Zhu Yifeng and Huang Shi both knew that the situation in Fujian Province was very abnormal now, and if they were allowed to raise their eyebrows and raise their eyes all day long, the two of them would have to explain to the imperial court all day long the problem of the unknown source of the huge amount of wealth. However, the work of the provincial inspectors is impeachment. They also love this job, and although it is not a fat shortage, if the inspector does not find fault with the governor all day long, then he will not even be able to earn a reputation.

The Fujian patrol is naturally the same, don't look at him as just a seven-grade imperial history, but Zhu Qingtian and Huang Shuai have to be very polite to him. Every time they met, the nose of the patrol press was raised to the sky, and when he saw Huangshi, he sneered except for a cold snort. In addition to being sarcastic, he almost didn't say a complete sentence, and he always spoke to Zhu Yifeng in a weird way.

After receiving the Jinghai tax in July. Huang Shi immediately sent someone to send three thousand taels of silver to this strong commander. According to the report of the envoy after his return, the Fujian Inspector was so frightened that he almost knelt down and kowtowed to the envoy of Huangshi.

This didn't make Huang Shi feel strange, he wanted to give Fang Zhenru five taels of silver back then, but Fang Xun refused to accept it. In the era of the Ming Dynasty, a gift of 1,000 taels of silver was given. It's enough to bribe at the level of the elder. The governor of a province can collect a few thousand taels of money for a year, and most of them are everyone's default gray income, this time Huangshi gave him a few thousand taels, making it clear that there is something extraordinary for him to help conceal.

Huang Shi knew that this seven-rank imperial history master was said to be a weight of ten taels or fifteen taels, so it was a great brave act that he was willing to accept three hundred taels for the first time. However, the Fujian patrol did not dare to accept it does not mean that Huangshi did not dare to continue to send, since he knew that the Fujian patrol press was more courageous, then Huangshi sent it for a few days, and finally let the other party accept all the three thousand taels of silver reluctantly.

However, the Fujian patrol is a very principled person. Although he accepted the silver from Huangshi, he still insisted on doing his job well. Beginning in August, the Fujian Patrol began to impeach Zhu Yifeng and Huang Shi in a vigorous manner on the issue of their life style; one rumor today and one rumor tomorrow, they diligently collected all kinds of gossip and reported it to the imperial court, and wrote the piece like a tabloid newspaper specializing in lace news.

Yellowstone had the privilege of reading several of them. Since then, I have always felt sorry for this patrolman, it is a pity that he was not born in the 21st century to be a paparazzi reporter, which is a pity for his talent. In the past, Huang Shi had met this adult several times in the Quanzhou Securities Exchange, and invited him to dinner by the way.

At the beginning of this month, when Huang Shi went to the Quanzhou Securities Exchange again, he suddenly met two gentlemen, the governor of Fujian and the governor in green clothes, and the three of them drank some wine like old friends and exchanged views on securities and Jinghai tax revenue. In short, everyone chatted and chatted happily, and when they finally broke up, Huang Shi handed a thick red envelope to the Fujian Patrol. It contained five thousand taels of Funing Town military tickets.

The Fujian patrol press, who had exchanged experience several times, also became sophisticated. He opened it casually and tapped it lightly, and then carried it into his arms as if nothing had happened. The next day, when the Fujian patrol press on the impeachment recital. He also said that he heard that Zhu Yifeng and Huang Shi went to drink flower wine together, and they were drunk and drunk, and there was no one to obey. Because Chongzhen believed in the ethics of civil officials, he abolished the East Factory as soon as he ascended the throne, and Jinyiwei did not send Beijing Division, so the courage of the Fujian patrol became more and more big.

......

As Huangshi continued to issue Funing military stamps, the entire province of Fujian was full of prosperity, and new factories were being built almost every day. Moreover, because of the tariff barriers set up in Huangshi, in just two months, countless people from other provinces came to Fujian to ask for the purchase of ships, and by the beginning of October, I heard that some Spaniards had begun to inquire whether there were any sea ships for sale in Fujian.

In addition to Fujian merchants, many Lu merchants also came south to Fujian to set up factories, after all, it is much more convenient here than Shandong. Zhu Jiuye is one of them, he also sold his business in Shandong not long ago, and went to Fujian to set up a shipyard, before the shipyard started, Zhu Jiuye took over the order of three sea ships, and also paid a deposit of 10% according to the rules of other provinces.

After the factory officially started, Zhu Jiuye brought in three more customers and asked them to bid to decide whose ship to build first. One of the merchants paid the full deposit and won the first sea boat, while the merchant who agreed to pay a deposit of 30% only ended up in third place, so angry that he inquired everywhere about how to join the Dark Council.

After Zhu Jiuye got the deposit and order, he went to the securities exchange and used it as collateral to issue a small batch of bonds for a small factory in other places. Ready for expanded reproduction.

Because the Dark Council requires all members to give priority to hiring military households in Funing Town as workers, many people also come to Funing Town to hang up the name of the military household, and then look for jobs. Bao Bowen opened a number of technical schools on Yellowstone's orders, and these new military recruits were to be intensively trained in order to train them to become the workers needed by Funing Town and the Dark Council.

Liu Qingyang's team is also expanding dramatically, and the various business regulations they have formulated are changing almost every day...... Everything is chaotic, and new problems pop up every day. The new business group is full of vitality and exudes vigor throughout the body.

Walk the streets of Quanzhou. Huangshi saw one confident face after another, and Huangshi seemed to have seen the changes in the future:

The mountain dwellers around Fujian began to flock to the coastal areas, and the industrious people worked hard, and then saved their wages to buy stocks and bonds that would rise forever, and the scattered funds were gathered again, so that more factories were built, and more farmers put down their hoes and went to the countryside to find work.

With the soaring prices along the coast of Fujian. Merchants from Guangdong and Zhejiang also brought grain and cloth to them, and they could still make money by paying high taxes on Jinghai, which in turn would further stimulate Fujian's shipbuilding industry, and so on.

Yellowstone believes that people's perceptions will soon begin to change, just as he had experienced in his previous life, and once he sets foot on this path, it will be a faster and faster acceleration after that.

This time, after hearing that Funing Town was going to send troops again, many people asked each other whether Huangshi would sell bonds again. From the governor's yamen to the port of Quanzhou. The people on the road shouted at him, one by one, they proudly said that they had money in their pockets, and they were full of desire to support the Funing army with their actions.

Huang Shi boarded the ship at the spontaneous farewell party of the citizens, and when he left Quanzhou Port, he seemed to be able to hear the warm words of those people:

"Huang Shuai, we are all righteous people!"

"Huang Shuai. We support the government!"

......

Sing the praises to the people of the motherland, who are the creators of history and wealth; Trust these ordinary people, they are the strong backing of the army and the country; Ask your elders for help, and if you can get their support, you will be invincible!

"Yes, that's what I've been taught since I was a child, and I'm convinced of it, and it's my duty to defend them. ”

On October 15 of the second year of Chongzhen, Huangshi ordered all the water divisions of Funing Town to set off with the fire battalion, the Panshi battalion and the Xuanfeng battalion. Zhao Slowxiong stayed behind, the same as the last time he sent troops to the southwest. He Dingyuan is still the commander of the Panshi Battalion, and Jia Minghe is also in charge of the Xuanfeng Battalion. In addition, Huangshi also asked Yang Zhiyuan to be a firefighting battalion officer, and he now intends to start cultivating the ability of his subordinates to take charge of themselves. The whole army then marched towards the Zhoushan Islands.

......

After a short stop in Zhoushan, Huangshi used the excuse of avoiding the typhoon in the open sea and moved north to Shandong. After departing, Huangshi summoned senior officers and the general staff for an emergency military meeting. After walking into the flagship hall, you will be greeted by a huge map of Thistle Town. After all the officers were seated, Huang Shichong nodded to Jin Qiude, who stood up and walked to the side of the map, and began to give a strategy briefing.

"Yuan Chonghuan is still nominally my Ming Jiliao Supervisor, but what he has done this year is almost unreasonable. Judging from the intelligence analysis we have gathered in the past few months, his military movements cannot be explained by the reason of Pingliao. In the hall of the ship's cabin, Kim Qiude brandished a whip and explained his views to a room full of officers.

"Obviously, if it is for the purpose of attacking, then the troops of Liaozhen should be transferred to the front line of Jinzhou and Ningyuan, and of course, they should not harm Mao Shuai. Although I don't think it's possible for the Guanning army to conduct an offensive operation, if Yuan Chonghuan really wants to try to level Liao for five years, he should try to attack at least once, even once, instead of standing still for a year and a half. ”

Everyone in the room agreed in silence. Jin Qiude took a breath and said confidently and loudly: "Great Marshal, gentlemen, I don't think that Yuan Chonghuan's military deployment can be explained by trying to defend. First of all, the strength of Dongjiang Town plays a decisive role in the military pressure on western Liaoning. It took nearly a month for news to go back and forth from Ningyuan to Dongjiang, and from a military point of view, there was absolutely no possibility of unified command. And even if Yuan Chonghuan really killed Mao Shuai to unify the power of affairs, as he said, then he should not use the method of cutting off food to weaken the combat effectiveness of Dongjiang Town, which is fundamentally inexplicable from a military point of view. ”

"Secondly, Man Shuai was originally the commander-in-chief of Ningyuan, and his position could effectively support the Dongjiang River, and at the same time deter the Karaqin Mongols and the Karakha Mongols. If Yuan Chonghuan had the intention to contain the Houjin forces, then he should not bomb Man Shuai to Datong. This will allow Houjin to move freely and without scruples. ”

"Finally!" Jin Qiude's voice was loud and his tone was impassioned: "In front of Shanhaiguan is Qiantun, in front of Qiantun is Ningyuan, and in front of Ningyuan is Jinzhou. Four hundred miles outside the Liaoxi corridor, my Daming fortress is lined up, with 115,000 horse infantry soldiers, Shanhaiguan can be said to be as safe as Mount Tai. And fifty miles outside the mouth of Xifeng in Jizhen is Karaqin Mongolia. The governors of the three sides reported in April this year that the Karaqin Mongols had joined the Jiannu as a banner, and the Jiannu troops had approached the throat of the Ming Dynasty.

There was silence in the hall, Huang Shi nodded, and said calmly: "What Vice Admiral Jin said is very reasonable, go on." ”

"Yes. Jin Qiude bowed slightly to Huang Shi, and then puffed up his chest and raised his head and said, "There is another possible explanation for the above. That is, Yuan Chonghuan can't fight at all, he is completely incompetent, so he is all blind and commanding. But if this is really the case, then Yuan Chonghuan's military deployment should be partly beneficial to Jiannu and partly beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, rather than all in favor of Jiannu. ”

"I make a hypothesis. It's just a hypothesis!" Jin Qiude slowly shook his right index finger in front of everyone, and then quickly pointed in the direction of Ning Yuan on the map: "I assume that Yuan Chonghuan is going to let Jiannu enter the customs and go straight to Jingshi to force the imperial court to agree to the negotiation!"

Except for Huang Shi, Zhao Slowxiong and a few others, everyone's faces changed slightly, but in the end, no one spoke.

Then all the problems can be easily solved, and all of Yuan Chonghuan's actions can be fully explained. First of all, he first tried his best to weaken the military strength of Dongjiang Town, so that Dongjiang Town could no longer complete the role of containment, and then he killed Mao Shuai and provoked internal fighting in Dongjiang Town. So as to relieve the worries of Jiannu. ”

"Secondly. He needed to coax Man Shuai and his pro-army family to Datong, so that when Jiannu attacked Jizhen. There is no need to worry about the Ningyuan defenders fighting out from the Jinchuan camp and Xinlitai, thus cutting off the grain route and retreat route of Jiannu, and there is no need to worry that the people and property they captured cannot be safely transported back to Liaoyang from under the nose of the Liaoxi army, so that Jianzhou has no worries and no flank threat. ”

"The third problem is the problem of Jizhen itself, Yuan Chonghuan transferred Zhao Shuai from Zunhua to Shanhaiguan, and took all the military salaries of Jizhen to Liaozhen, causing Jizhen to stop paying. In the face of the emperor's repeated inquiries, Yuan Chonghuan only said in a flat tone once that he also felt that Jizhen had some problems and was worth worrying about, and then casually recommended a person named Lin Juedi as the chief soldier of Jizhen Town, saying that as long as the emperor appointed this person as the chief soldier of Jizhen Town, he could sit back and relax. ”

Jin Qiude sneered: "When the emperor asked who this Lin Jue was, no one in the cabinet could answer, how could a nobody who didn't even have military merits be directly promoted to the post of chief soldier? How could he be qualified for such an important task as defending Jizhen? The emperor naturally did not agree to his request, and Yuan Chonghuan never mentioned this matter from then on. After Zhao Shuai was transferred, there were only 50,000 battalions of soldiers in Jizhen, and Yuan Chonghuan had to remove the 10,000 troops near the border wall in Zunhua and other places, and now Xifengkou and other places were already undefended. ”

"The last question, if Jiannu must enter the customs from Jizhen, they still need a lot of grain and grass. The year before last and last year, there was a two-year drought in Liaodong, and one stone of rice in Liaoyang was worth eighty taels of silver; Therefore, Yuan Chonghuan wanted to open a market to sell grain, and after having a large amount of grain, the Mongols suffering from famine in Monan would certainly come to Karaqin Mongolia one after another to beg for food, and Jiannu would be able to take the opportunity to recruit a large number of people and follow them into the Kou Pass. ”

Jin Qiude ended his long narrative and glanced at the officers in the hall: "Marshal, colleagues, if you look at it for this reason, everything Yuan Chonghuan did is very meaningful, one is not more, one is not too much, these conditions are indispensable. ”

After a silence, Yang Zhiyuan raised his hand. Then he calmly asked Jin Qiude: "But you don't know what Yuan Chonghuan thinks, right?"

Jin Qiude admitted calmly: "It's the earth, I know the face but I don't know the heart, I'm just an inference." ”

Huang Shi also opened his mouth at this time: "Brother Jin, although they are all your own people here, your accusation is still very severe, you are accusing the commander of the three towns and one guard, the minister of Qincha, the governor Ji Liao, Leiden, and the important ministers of the court in Tianjin. ”

"Great. The last general thinks that when all other explanations are unreasonable. Then the only plausible explanation, no matter how ridiculous it may seem, we can only believe it. ”

Yang Zhiyuan argued: "But we don't have conclusive evidence. ”

"Yes, we don't, we can't know what Yuan Chonghuan is thinking in his heart. After Jin Qiude finished speaking, he paused again, and he looked at Huangshi again: "Marshal, I ask you to allow the General Staff to conduct tactical deduction on the hypothetical condition of Yuan Chonghuan's treason, and I hope to get various military situations that may occur because of this." In order to be very necessary. ”

Huang Shi also took a deep breath and asked in a calm voice, "Who is in favor of?"

Jia Minghe was the first to raise his hand: "I approve!"

He Dingyuan also raised his hand: "I approve!"

Yang Zhiyuan smiled bitterly and raised his hand: "Marshal, I am in favor of conducting staff operations on this, but I don't approve of using this crime so early." ”

"Brother Yang said well, our staff operations are to deal with all possible situations," Huang Shi expressed his cautious affirmation of Yang Zhiyuan, and then said to Jin Qiude: "All the front-line commanders have passed. The General Staff can use 'Yuan Chonghuan's treason' as the premise to conduct battlefield deductions. ”

"Yes. ”

......

In June of the second year of Chongzhen, after the death of Mao Wenlong, Huang Taiji immediately announced the start of the army to attack the Ming. On the 15th, Burgadu of Karaqin Mongolia went to Liaoyang to discuss the issue of guidance with Huang Taiji. At the same time, the Karaqin Mongols were ordered by Emperor Taiji to start a large-scale construction of wooden boats for the transportation of supplies, and faced with such changes. The Liaodong Prefecture did not react.

Immediately Huang Taiji summoned Shu Bu Mongols, and they discussed until the eighth day of the eighth month of August to complete a specific detail, and on September 22, Bulgadu came to Liaoyang for the last time to report to Huang Taiji that the grain was ready. The invasion was already in sight, and the Liaodong Metropolitan Government did not raise any alarm.

On the second day of October, the Huang Taiji army set off in Liaoyang. This time, Houjin sent 4,000 armored soldiers, more than 10,000 unarmored soldiers, and attacked 15,000 soldiers and horses.

The fourth year of junior high school. The main forces of the Zalut Mongols and the Emperor Taiji converged. Let's go to the city of Kara.

On the fifth day of the first month, the Naiman Mongols and the Ao Han Mongols rushed to join the Emperor Taiji. The whole army continued to advance.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Bahrain Mongolia came to the meeting.

On the 15th, a total of 23 Beylers from most of the Horqin Mongols came to join Huang Taiji, with 100 cavalry per Beyler and more than 2,500 armor soldiers.

Although the Zareit Mongols were invited by Huang Taiji, they finally flinched after reaching the halfway point, so the leader sent an envoy to apologize and lead the tribe back to their homeland, while some of the other Mongolian tribes who were invited did not send troops at all.

On October 20, Huang Taiji entered Karacheng, and all the Mongolian tribes of Karaqin came to join the army, with a total of 2,000 soldiers. On the same day, Huang Taiji presided over the alliance ceremony in Kara City, and the heads of all the departments who came to Huang Taiji all swore an oath to the sky, and since then they have been friends and enemies with the Ming Dynasty.

So far, Huang Taiji has completed an extensive mobilization of thousands of miles, involving dozens of tribes in Mongolia, with tens of thousands of participants and tens of thousands of people in the know, while the Liaodong Metropolitan Government is still silent at this time.

On the 24th, the Houjin army began to march towards Longjing Pass, and the whole army had 4,000 Houjin Yan armor soldiers, 8,000 Mongolian armor soldiers, in addition to 13,000 servants, coats, and unarmored soldiers, and the total strength of the whole army was more than 25,000 people.

Until this time, the Ming army's Liaodong Metropolitan Mansion still did not seem to be aware of it, and Jizhen still did not receive any warning, and the Ming army's last chance was lost.

On the 27th, the forward of the Houjin army began to attack Longjing Pass......

From the end of April to the beginning of October this year, Huang Taiji carried out a large-scale military tandem on the attack on the town of Ji, and after the second day of the first month of October, he led tens of thousands of horses to advance from Liaozhong to Karacheng under the nose of Liao Town of the Ming Kingdom, and walked for almost a month just by marching. Moreover, Huang Taiji came from this road at this time, and Houjin had not even fully grasped the suzerainty of Mo Nan.

Despite so many unfavorable factors, Huang Taiji still created a military miracle on October 27, the second year of Chongzhen, and Houjin actually succeeded in forming a surprise attack on Jizhen!
