Chapter 117: Still thinking about appeasing the rebels

Last year, Wei Zhongxian took advantage of Wen Tiren's ambition to kill the first assistant Han Yi and the second assistant Qian Longxi;

After this, Sung Ki-myung was appointed as the head of the cabinet, and the head of the Donglin Party was expelled from the cabinet;

Immediately afterwards, because of the resurgence of the civil uprising in Shanxi, he only made the foundation of the first assistant for a few months, and was implicated by the cyclamen and was forced to resign as the first assistant;

When Zhou Yanru took over as the first assistant, Wei Zhongxian never saw him as a threat;

However, in the face of the impeachment of Wen Tiren and his party, Zhou Yanru insisted on keeping Sun Chengzong, Sun Yuanhua and Yu Dacheng and other Donglin party members, Wei Zhongxian was not too calm!

Therefore, Zhou Yanru left Lingji Palace with his front foot, and Wei Zhongxian arrived with his back foot!

"Grandpa Wei, don't worry!

Sun Yuanhua is a capital crime, and it is impossible to keep his official position;

Sun Chengzong devoted himself to Liaodong and did not ask about political affairs;

These two people are no threat to you!

Other members of the Donglin Party, whatever you want, I don't care! ”

Looking at the ferocious "coyote", remembering that Zhou Yanru escaped from Lingji Palace wearing only one shoe, Wei Zhongxian nodded.

However, Wang Li didn't forget to remind: "Father-in-law Wei, after you get rid of Zhou Yanru, in terms of qualifications, it must be Wen Tiren who will take over as the first assistant!"

In my opinion, this person is extremely deep and thoughtful, and he is even more difficult than the Donglin Party!

So, you have to think about it! ”

Hearing this, Wei Zhongxian was noncommittal, and stared at Wang Li: "Princess, what do you mean......"

"Oh, it's not easy?

Continue to keep a low profile and sit back and watch Wen and Tuesday dog-eat-dog!

If Wen Tiren is kicked out of the cabinet, you will clean up Zhou Yanru again!

If Zhou Yanru is kicked out of the cabinet, if Wen Tiren dares to win over the Donglin Party, it will not be too late for you to make a move! ”

"Dog eats dog?" Wei Zhongxian looked at the coyote beside Wang Li and smiled indifferently: "It's good to operate like this!"

However, don't be careless!

You don't want to kill Zhou Yanru, but he wants to kill you!

Donglin Party, there is no good thing!

Listen to me, and you can't go wrong!

If you don't believe me, we'll see! ”

With that, Wei Zhongxian took the tea and drank it all and strode away.

Alas!

Wei Zhongxian, this guy, and the Donglin Party, are really incompatible!

It seems that the Donglin Party dug up his ancestral grave!

However, then again, Zhou Yanru is indeed cunning!

At this time, Sun Yuanhua was captured in Dengzhou City, and the DPRK and China debated for several days about how to deal with him!

Zhu Youzhen didn't seem to express his position, but he actually supported Zhou Yanru!

In other words, for the handling of the rebels, he is more inclined to Zhou Yanru's appeasement policy rather than sending troops to encircle and suppress!

After all, to send troops to encircle and suppress, you need silver!

Zhu Youzhen has not made a decision for a long time, but he is actually afraid of making mistakes!

He's still waiting!

I want to see which side the balance of appeasement and purging will fall!

Zhou Yanru saw all this very clearly!

When he went to Lingji Palace, he ostensibly asked Xu Guangqi for help, but in fact, he asked Wang Li for help!

Zhou Yanru did guess correctly: Wang Li lured Xu Guangqi to Fujian, which was to build a cannon!

A few days ago, Zhu Youzhen asked Wang Li and Zhou Yanru to purchase cannons respectively, and everyone knew about it!

But from the bottom of his heart, Zhou Yanru didn't think that Sun Yuanhua could create a Hongyi cannon!

So, as soon as he got the money, he went out to sea!

And Wang Li, but there was no movement!

Wang Li's intentions are very obvious!

So, Zhou Yanru came to Lingji Palace decisively!

Lobbying work, very smooth!

revealed that Sun Yuanhua would make cannons, and Wang Li really took the bait!

Zhou Yanru's goal has been achieved!

If the West Factory comes forward to intercede, Sun Yuanhua will be able to save his life!

As long as the timing is right, it is not difficult to reinstate him as an official, or even enter the cabinet!

A year later, if Wang Li can't take out the Hongyi cannon, or can't build the Hongyi cannon......

Then hehe!

Give him a fatal blow, and the West Factory will fall!

Zhou Yanru calculated seamlessly, but ignored the most important thing: Wang Li wanted to keep Sun Yuanhua, but he did not approve of the policy of appeasing the rebels!

……

"That's right, I do mean to appease!"

Zhu Youzhen did not hide his attitude, and said truthfully: "I have already sent someone to Dengzhou!"

As long as Kong Youde withdraws from Dengzhou City, releases the captured Dengzhou guards, and accepts the reorganization of the imperial court, I can not blame the past!

As for Sun Yuanhua, I can spare him from dying!

Just be demoted to a commoner!

The factory thinks this person is useful, so take it!

In the meantime, I can give him five years!

As long as he builds the Hongyi cannon, he will atone for his sins!

At that time, I will definitely reuse it! ”

Regarding the appeasement policy, Wang Li really disagrees!

Just as he was about to persuade him, Zhu Youzhen spoke again: "I, I'm not a mediocre person!"

The Daling River was besieged, and the Guanning army lost more than 5,000 war horses, this is not Sun Ge's fault, I have never blamed him! ”

"But...... Kong Youde is capricious!

Even if the temporary appeasement is successful, it will not be sincere!

As long as the time is ripe, it will be reversed!

Even, you may defect to Huang Taiji!

Long live the Lord, you must not be soft-hearted, and you must not raise tigers for trouble! ”

"That's it, I've made up my mind!

By the way, the white puppies you brought back from the West, as well as the red-haired relatives on the top of the head, send me a few!

As for...... The price is ......"

"If you like it, the little slave should send it in person, how dare you accept the full amount!

Otherwise, I'll give you a 50% discount......"

"Huh?"

Zhu Youzhen's face was full of black lines.

Wang Li thought about dropping a little, but Zhu Youzhen couldn't wait: "One fold!" I'll just give you a discount!

The Divine Bird and the White Dog each need three, and they all need females!

Within half an hour, be sure to deliver! ”

"Just give a discount...... The little slave is really a bit of a loss!

But, Hooray, you only want females?

Are you sure you're not mistaken?

If there is no male, the white dog will not give birth to cubs, and the sacred bird will not lay eggs......"

I'll go!

Wang Li quickly shut up!

Zhu Youzhen's face was so gloomy that it was frightening!

This guy, I don't want a single male, it's too picky!

That's it, that's it!

Two or three get six, six five thirty!

Three Pomeranians, three cockatiels, sold him for 30,000 silver!

It's already pretty good!

The round-trip freight of the whole ship is basically enough!

I'll just say, Daming is really "hiding wealth from the people"!

There are so many stunned local tyrants!

In the first batch, thirty Pomeranianians and fifty cockatiels landed alive were sold out before crossing the Yangtze River!

Moreover, it's all at a fixed price!

No one bargains!

In the second batch, a dozen boats went!

There are more than 200 Pomeranians, cockatiels and sheepdogs brought back alive!

The income of these two times alone reached more than 30 million!

It is equivalent to Zheng Zhilong's entire fleet, the total transaction amount in two years!

If you hadn't deliberately left a few, how could you have Zhu Youzhen's share?

Hey!

If you want to do it, you can do it with a big vote!

This time, rent a hundred boats from Zheng Zhilong!

If this trip goes well, you should be able to go back to your hometown for the elderly!

The silver we have accumulated is almost 80 million taels!

If you only talk about silver, it would have already surpassed Liu Jin's father-in-law's net worth!

It's really easy to get some silver in Daming!

……

Zhu Youzhen intended to appease the rebels, but Wang Li did not intend to let Kong Youde live!

If you send Song Zhe or Song Yi to infiltrate Dengzhou and wait for an opportunity to assassinate him, it is not a difficult matter!

However, this will be a remake of the "Phi Dao Incident" and will not do anything to quell the rebellion once and for all!

At this moment, Dengzhou City is still in the hands of the rebels, and it is difficult for ordinary Jinyi guards to sneak into the city, so they can only monitor outside Dengzhou City.

Therefore, Xichang can only grasp the large-scale movements of the rebels, and it is difficult to find out the intelligence in the city.

According to Zhou Yanru's intelligence, Kong Youde is very nostalgic: although he captured the "old superior" Sun Yuanhua, he did not hurt his life, and wanted to pull him to "do it together".

Moreover, for the Portuguese gunsmith in the city, Kong Youde did no further harm.

At this point, Wang Li's hanging heart was slightly relaxed.

Upon learning of the rebellion in Shandong, Cao Wenzhao only left three thousand iron horsemen!

The remaining 7,000 horsemen, led by Cao Dingjiao and Cao Bianjiao, returned and temporarily stationed in Gaoyang County, Baoding Prefecture.

In this position, you can quickly defend the Beijing division to the north, intercept or take the initiative to attack the rebels in the southeast, and quickly rush to the northeast to help Liaodong, which can be described as foolproof.

Before you know it, a month has passed!

Because of the weakness and indulgence of the imperial court's "appeasement policy", Lushun's deputy general Chen Shi and Guangludao's deputy general Mao Chenglu raised troops to respond to the rebellion!

The scale of the two-way "branch rebel army" has grown to more than 8,000 people!

Echoing with Kong Youde in the north and south, the momentum is huge!

Fortunately, the rebels in the north were defeated by Huanglong, the commander of the Dongjiang River, and had to cross the sea and retreat to Dengzhou to join Kong Youde.

To Wang Li's surprise, Sun Yuanhua, Song Guanglan, Wang Zheng, Zhang Tao and others, who were captured by the rebels, were released by Kong Youde!

This may be Kong Youde's nostalgia.

Or perhaps, it is a direct response to the imperial court's policy of appeasement.

Zhu Youzhen was still counting on "appeasing the rebels" and did not intend to delve into the mistakes of these generals, but a basic examination was still necessary.

Therefore, more than a dozen generals of different levels were sent to the edict of Xichang as soon as they returned to Beijing.

Wang Li had already planned to win over Sun Yuanhua, so he did not embarrass him, but treated him politely.

From these released generals, Wang Li learned more about the rebels in Shandong.

It was also from their mouths that they heard another traitor who had been looking for a long time: Shang Kexi!

In Geng Zhongyu's mutiny, Shang Kexi brought troops back in time, which not only quelled the mutiny but also saved Huanglong's life, which won Huanglong's respect!

This is still gratifying, it is a guerrilla under the command of Huang Long!

Sample!

Finally found you!

It didn't take much effort to get it!

Hum!

Wei Zhongxian's eyes can't tolerate the Donglin Party, and in my eyes, I can't tolerate half a traitor!

At this moment, if you can't kill Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming in Dengzhou City, you can't kill you?

So, Wang Li generously donated 20,000 taels of silver for the "military salary"!

Then I asked Zhu Youzhen for a decree, hoping that the Jinyi Guard of the West Factory would go out and escort this batch of military salaries to the Dongjiang River!

The Manchu Dynasty is not bad for money in civil and military affairs, Zhu Youzhen knows it!

took the initiative to donate silver as a military salary, and Wang Li was the first!

Zhu Youzhen, naturally, can't ask for it!

Don't be moved!

With a stroke of the pen, the matter was approved immediately!

So, with the holy decree of the imperial court to open the way, the four "small flags" that escorted the military salaries went to the Dongjiang River by boat with swagger!

In terms of intelligence reconnaissance, Jinyiwei of the West Factory may not be as good as the East Factory.

But when necessary, it is gratifying to take down a small "guerrilla general", and it can still be done!

With Jin Yiwei by Shang Kexi's side, Wang Li was in a good mood.

This night, Liu Ruyan couldn't stand it!

"Gonggong, Caifeng and Xue'er's appearance is more iconic than that of concubines, why don't you leave them in Beijing?"

"Huh! Other people's wives and concubines are all jealous, you are good, do you want to have more sisters? ”

"No, the factory hasn't drunk wolfberries during this time, but his body is getting better and better!

If there is no sister to help share the burden, the concubine will die here sooner or later!

Factory father, Caifeng and Xue'er, it's really good!

By the way, there are a few prostitutes in Lingji Palace, which is also quite good! ”

"No, they're not my type! Because, they are all wrapped in little feet! ”

Hearing "wrapping her little feet", Liu Ruyan's cheeks turned red and she quickly hid her big feet.

What she didn't know was that Wang Li really couldn't appreciate the popular "three-inch golden lotus" in this era!

I want to vomit when I see it!

I still like women like Liu Ruyan and Zhao Qian, who don't have bound their feet!

Inadvertently mentioned "foot binding", Wang Li's heart suddenly shook!

I'll it!

The "Qin Huai Seven Uniques", who are about to grow up, won't all be wrapped in little feet, right?

Also, Princess Zhu Huijiao of Kunxing in the palace, when she grows to four or five years old, she won't have to wrap her little feet, right?

If this is the case, wouldn't the few women he had in his heart all wasted!

I'll go!

No way!

Absolutely not!
