Chapter Eighty-Three: Who Dominates
That man earned hundreds of millions of taels of silver for the Ming Dynasty treasury? Can it also increase the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty!? The crowd was shocked when they heard it - there are such capable people in the world!
You must know that Zhu Yuanzhang's Ming Dynasty has just been established, and the people all over the country can't even eat enough, and the whole country is very poor. It is difficult to make money for the treasury in this situation, and that person actually earned 100 million taels for Zhu Yuanzhang! In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang did not earn 100 million taels for the treasury, 50 million plus what other officials grabbed, at most 70 or 80 million, but it was rumored that there was 100 million.
"Where did he get all this money?" The crowd couldn't figure it out.
Not to mention the new dynasty, even in the previous Han and Tang dynasties, hundreds of millions of taels of silver are numbers that people dare not imagine.
These killers are all veterans under King Xiao Ming, and some of them were generals and centurions before, all of whom have seen the world. Even when King Xiao Ming's Great Song Dynasty was at its most glorious, the most silver they had ever seen was only one million taels.
The terrifying figure of 100 million taels shocked them and felt as if they were in a dream.
And what's even more powerful is that that person can also increase the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty. And the secret technique of increasing the fortune of the country has only been understood by immortals like Jiang Ziya, Zhang Liang, and Zhuge Liang throughout the ages.
The crowd couldn't help but be frightened by the man, and the entire courtyard was silent for a while.
"It's a pity that such a capable person actually assisted an ungrateful Zhu Yuanzhang." Mr. Guan sighed, "If he can assist King Xiaoming, it will definitely not be him Zhu Yuanzhang who gets the country!" ”
"So our target this time is this person." Dadao Ao said, "If we kill this person, it will be like cutting off one of Zhu Yuanzhang's arms." ”
"General Wang, such a capable person, wouldn't it be a pity if he was killed so easily?" Mr. Kwan said, "If we can capture him alive for our own use, wouldn't it be better than killing him?" ”
"Mr. Guan, do you think we still have a chance to make a comeback?" Dadao Ao said, "Now that Zhu Yuanzhang's country has been stabilized, we don't seem to have a chance at all, and the whole world is his." ”
It can be seen that Dadaoao has seen the current situation very thoroughly. Knowing the remnants of King Xiao Ming, he has no power to return to the sky. The reason why he still summoned people to assassinate Zhu Yuanzhang was just to repay King Xiao Ming's previous kindness.
Since ancient times, people have taken the word loyalty and righteousness very seriously, and some loyal ministers and righteous people often sacrifice their lives to take righteousness and kill themselves to become benevolent.
"No!" However, Mr. Guan said, "Although it has been five years since Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, it has not been completely stable. In the southwest and northwest, bandits are rampant in many provinces, and there are many remnants of the former rebels. It is rumored that more than 90 of the more than 100 counties and counties in Guangxi Road are entrenched by bandits, with a number of no less than one million, and the local government offices are in vain. ”
"It can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang's current world is actually only half of the world, and the rest of the places are not completely centered."
"If we can capture that man alive, let him assist us. Then immediately moved to the southwest and northwest, and based on the southwest and northwest, he recruited those bandits and the old troops of the rebel army to his command, and he may not be able to confront Zhu Yuanzhang's new dynasty. ”
"My religion is among the people, and there are millions of believers?"
"Makes sense!" Dadao Ao's expression froze and said. Mingjiao has a large number of believers, and if there are believers, there will be the support of the people, and it is not impossible to organize a wave of righteous troops when the time comes.
Mingjiao's original name was Manichaeism, which was introduced to Middle-earth in the Tang Dynasty and renamed Mingjiao in the Song Dynasty. In the Central Plains, there is a broad mass base. In ancient times, the people could not have enough food and clothing, so they could only place their spirit in religion.
The peasant uprisings of the past dynasties were also supported by religion.
For example, Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Uprising, Hong Xiuquan's Jintian Uprising, and the Boxer Rebellion...... Only by using the name of the gods to revolt can the rebels unite as one and sacrifice their lives and death.
The power of faith has long been played by the ancients.
The influence of Mingjiao is deeper, the Northern Song Dynasty Fangla uprising relied on Mingjiao, and the White Lotus Sect used by Han Shantong at the end of the Yuan Dynasty was reborn with Mingjiao, and the co-owner of the world, Xiao Mingwang, is actually the leader of Mingjiao, ****.
Zhu Yuanzhang was a subordinate of King Xiao Ming at that time and a member of the Ming Sect. Because he was well aware of the influence of Mingjiao, as soon as he came to power, he immediately issued an edict to suppress Mingjiao, and Mingjiao turned underground, and most of the believers were former rebels.
"The southwest is backed by Tubo, Tuyuhun, and the north also has the old department of the former Yuan commander Wang Baobao. Recently, Zhu Yuanzhang also transferred 100,000 troops to expedition to Goryeo, and sent Tang He to cross the sea to catch big fish......" Mr. Guan said, "so he doesn't have too many troops to clear the southwest, and we have more opportunities to take advantage of." At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, he also had to encourage farming and disaster relief. ”
"Zhu Yuanzhang actually sent the commander of the sailor to go out to sea to fish, it's really mediocre!" Dadao Ao sighed, "It seems that we really don't need to kill that person, coercing him to assist us, and passing through the southwest is the best policy." ”
……
"An amazing talent like that man, who will be punished by heaven if he kills him." Mr. Guan said, "Our main target this time is the man in Lujia Village, and after catching him, we can use him as bait to lure Zhu Yuanzhang into the bait." ”
"I heard that Zhu Yuanzhang often goes to Lujia Village to ask that person about state affairs, and we can wait for the rabbit in Lujia Village. If Zhu Yuanzhang dies, the world will definitely be in chaos at that time. When the time comes, we can take that person to the southwest, and take the southwest as the hinterland, and it may not be impossible to plot the world. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't take the bait, catching that person is a huge gain. ”
"But King Xiao Ming is dead, who are we in the southwest?" Dadao Ao asked.
"The old lord Han Shantong also has a daughter, who has been found by me." Mr. Guan whispered in Dadaoao's ear. The leaders of the ancient rebels, as long as they had a little power, would have three wives and four concubines, and enjoy themselves first. Hong Xiu immediately enriched the harem after setting the capital of Tianjing, and had more than 1,000 wives...... It's not difficult to find an illegitimate son and an illegitimate daughter.
"But she's a woman." Broadsword Ao Dao.
"Women can dress up as men, and she only shows up occasionally anyway." Mr. Guan said, "Or if we simply cultivate an empress, won't Wu Zetian also be the emperor?" ”
"Moreover, Mingjiao originated in Persia, and Persian Mingjiao originally respected the holy woman. The saint's arrival in the court can convince the believers of the world. We can say that she is both a saint and the reincarnation of Our Lady of the White Lotus. ”
There is another point he didn't say, he is dominated by women and has better control.
"Makes sense!" Dadao Ao's expression froze, and he said, "Mr. Guan really deserves to be the little Zhuge in the righteous army!" ”
"General Wang, according to the news from the spies, there are also a large number of brocade guards near Lujia Village, and they almost can't drain the water around it. I'm afraid we won't be able to rush in. Someone in the crowd said.
