Chapter 76: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron

Therefore, as the ruler of imperial power, you must have the ability to peel off the cocoon.

Zhou Xian!

In silence, the layout of the imperial court in the south has begun.

Now Daming has entered the decisive moment.

No one could stop him.

Even Chongzhen can't!

In the end, Zhao Yanpei and Zhao Huaiqing revealed one of the most critical details.

That was the route they took to finance the military supplies to Jiannu.

And the most recent one was in the last three days.

The imperial soldiers came to the city and won a precious window for them to cross the sea and ocean.

Now Zhou Xian has made clear the route of the traitors and thieves of the Ming Dynasty.

One is Wucheng, Zhou Xian just started to supervise the country, strictly investigated the Xuanfu, and by the way, he beheaded Huang Shouren, the general of Wucheng.

The other road is the shipping line, Tianjin Wei.

Now many officials on Tianjin's side have been involved by Zhao Huaiqing.

The last route is to leave Hangzhou through Jiaozhou Bay and enter North Korea, so as to convey the territory of Jiannu.

This is the road that Huang Taiji currently relies on the most.

Because the famous general Mao Wenlong, who was previously united with North Korea in the Ming Dynasty, is gone.

The Phi Island occupied by Mao Wenlong also entered the actual control of Jiannu.

Subsequently, Yuan Chonghuan was Lingchi by Chongzhen.

It can be said that the entire northeast region of the Ming Dynasty has become a place for Jiannu soldiers.

Therefore, it is a very safe route from Hangzhou to Jiaozhou Bay.

It is also the route that is least likely to arouse the suspicion of the Ming court.

Because, at this time when Zhou Xian took over the court, no, it can even be traced back to the period of Emperor Jiajing.

The Ming Dynasty closed the sea.

The most glorious seafaring period in history of the Ming Dynasty was when Zhu Di sent Zheng He to the Western Ocean.

Later, it cost a lot of money, and the treasury was weak.

Zhu Di banned the sea on a small scale.

However, there is also a city division.

In the Jiajing period, the city was banned.

Later, during the reign of Emperor Longqing, the Ming Dynasty opened the sea.

However, it only opened a shallow water port in Fujian.

Later, it was closed again.

Therefore, the coastal defense line of the Ming Dynasty was actually empty, undefended, and unguarded.

Therefore, it has become a green channel for those unscrupulous businessmen to engage in smuggling with unscrupulous corrupt officials.

The imperial court is not unaware.

It is only since the plague of the Japanese that the border defense force has gradually weakened.

In Youqi's army, he was sent by the emperor to the north to fight a bloody battle with Jiannu.

It's also the final chapter of the battle!

Later, the coastal defense of the Ming Dynasty no longer existed.

Otherwise, there would not have been large-scale smuggling.

Among them, Zheng Zhilong is a typical example.

Now, the traverser Zhou Xian hopes to restore the glory of the Daming Sea.

Therefore, he ignited Zhao Hongxue, who was reported, and finally gave Zhao Hongxue the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

Let Zhao Hongxue go to Guangzhou to engage in the Foreign Affairs Bureau.

Because now the imperial treasury has no money, so everything can only be left to Zhao Hongxue to find a way.

Even if it's slow, it has to be done without stopping.

After all, there will come a time when coastal defense will be useful.

Multi-pronged, multi-front operations.

This is the current embarrassing situation facing Zhou Xian.

Don't look at him has an official entertainment hall, and Cao Zhengchun has already opened a chain.

But that amount of money is a drop in the bucket in the face of so many huge expenses.

Zhao Yanpei was arrested and escorted to Beijing the day after that.

Zhenfu Si Jinyiwei arrived at Jiaozhou Bay under the leadership of Jinshan.

Jin Yiwei came from afar, of course, to help the local officials wash, cut and blow.

The order Yu Jinshan received was in addition to arresting the person involved in Zhao Huaiqing's case.

In the name of the imperial court, Jiaozhou Bay will be taken over.

Especially the big ferry port of Jiaozhou Bay.

The rest is Tianjin Wei.

Tianjin Wei was under the jurisdiction of the southern capital of Jinling City.

It is also the administrative area of Tianjin Prefecture.

Even when Emperor Chongzhen was in power, he couldn't rule with a long arm.

He was also able to send a message to Jinling City in the way of discussing politics.

Then from Jinling City to Tianjin Wei.

Not to mention Zhou Yuma, who now only has the right to supervise the country.

So what to do?

Zhou Yuan can forcibly get past those who stand in the way.

But that would only slow down the efficiency of the work.

Now Zhou Xian's most important thing is time.

He wants to do things beautifully in the shortest possible time.

So, it's going to have to be a different way of thinking.

Just when Zhou Xian was racking his brains to figure out a way.

Hou Lianhui presented a piece of music with both hands and walked in in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, Wang Mingrui, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites."

Hou Lianhui will put the fold on the imperial case.

Zhou Xian opened it and took a look.

Oh ......

His eyes lit up.

This is an impeachment letter.

Wang Mingrui impeached the cabinet and the old Qian Ge!

Just because Tianjin Wei has become a transit point for capital enemies, and Wu Mengqian, the prefect of Tianjin, is a protégé of Qian Ge Lao.

Jumped out!

Someone jumped out.

It's just that Zhou Xian didn't expect that the first person to be anxious was Wang Mingrui.

What does this guy think now?

Now Tianjin Wei is used by corrupt officials to transport grain, grass and salt and iron ore to Jiannu.

This is a major event second only to Yuan Chonghuan's betrayal of the country back then.

Zhou Xian wasn't excited for a while.

The officials in the court were like being beaten one by one, feeling that the sky of the Ming Dynasty was about to fall.

Everyone is above the court, and even when they go to the teaching department to find sister paper, they will scold and scold the selection of people to take responsibility.

But who will bear the consequences?

The officials of Tianjin Wei were very wronged one by one.

The smuggling gang just passed through Tianjin Wei, and Lao Tzu will be responsible?

Why is Lao Tzu responsible?

Therefore, when the officials in the court saw it, they detained the black pot in Tianjin Wei, and the gang over there was ironclad, and it was not easy to do it.

So, Wang Mingrui took advantage of the situation, followed the vein of Tianjin Weiyi, and pursued Qian Longxi's body.

Just because Qian Longxi was Wu Mengqian's mentor.

Moreover, the position of Tianjin Wei Governor's Mansion also came up by virtue of a layer of relationships.

Therefore, he scolded Qian Ge Lao.

Zhou Xian silently put down the folds.

He believed that Qian Ge Lao would not be in cahoots with the Donglin Party.

Qian Longxi is a rare minister at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

His status is comparable to Zhang Juzheng of the Wanli Dynasty.

Zhou Xian was thinking, how would Qian Ge Lao feel if he saw this impeachment?

The local officials of the Ming Dynasty are enemies, and he is very helpless as a cabinet minister!

But Wang Mingrui is a mad dog who catches and bites whom.

When Emperor Chongzhen was in power, he was an iron-headed man who was not false at all when he was spraying hundreds of officials above the court.

In the final analysis, Qian Longxi suffered an unjustified disaster.

It seems that someone wants to pour dirty water on Qian Ge Lao in order to achieve the purpose of bringing disaster to the east.

"Hou Lianhui."

"The minions are here."

"Go and call the old Qian Ge."

"Chitose, it's late at night."

"Go and call him, tell him, I'll wait for him here."

"Yes."

Hou Lianhui bowed and exited the main hall.

Zhou Xian's face was cold, and there was a glint in his eyes.

Of course, he will not engage in the true loyalty of the Ming Dynasty.

I will not do those evil things that are painful and hateful.
