Chapter 217: Separation between monarchs and ministers

In fact, when the Ming army retreated to Guanzhong, Wang Li and Chen Qiyu were carefully considered!

If Gao Yingxiang continued to hide in Shennongjia, no matter how many Ming troops there were, they would not be able to search that primeval forest, let alone concentrate their forces to encircle and suppress it!

Cao Wenzhao's Guanning Iron Cavalry, as well as Wang Li's "Iron Armor Brocade Guard", have explosive combat power and are obvious to all;

It stands to reason that if you withdraw the Ming troops from Huguang, Henan and Shanxi, lure Gao Yingxiang out of Shennongjia, and then send heavy cavalry to encircle and suppress it, great things will be done!

Therefore, Gao Yingxiang walked out of Shennongjia and walked around in Henan for a while, Cao Wenzhao was still "shrinking" in Wuguan!

Chen Qiyu's prediction should be correct, Gao Yingxiang is very careful - although he is active in Henan, he is not far away from Shennongjia!

This guy seems to be really careful!

Before Cao Wenzhao moved, he suddenly turned to the southwest and flowed in the direction of Shennongjia again!

This guy really likes to be the king of the mountain in Shennongjia?

Wang Li was confused, but he didn't have the heart to care about him!

Anyway, as long as there are no thieves in the northwestern provinces, the courtiers have no reason to impeach themselves, and Zhu Youzhen is also happy!

Hello, hello me, hello everyone!

……

During Wei Zhongxian's years in the Southern Capital, he nominally collected commercial taxes, but in fact, he was in violation of the yang and yin - the "commercial tax" he paid every year was squeezed out of his pocket!

Zhu Youzhen didn't know about this!

The recital of the proposal to "fully levy commercial taxes" was sent to Beijing, and as expected, Zhu Youzhen was so happy that he couldn't sleep all night!

It's a pity that the edict of "comprehensive collection of commercial taxes" was sent to the cabinet, and it was immediately refuted by Wen Tiren!

In fact, Wen Tiren is not only not the Donglin Party, but also hostile to the Donglin Party!

However, he was surprisingly consistent with many officials in his resistance to commercial taxes!

Strictly speaking, Zhu Youzhen and Wei Zhongxian are not "fully levying commercial taxes", they should be "comprehensively levying commercial taxes"!

Because, since the founding of Zhu Yuanzhang, the "commercial tax" of the Ming Dynasty has existed for more than 200 years, and it is "nothing and no tax"!

At that time, because the status of merchants was relatively low and industry and commerce were not developed, Zhu Yuanzhang did not regard commercial tax as the main source of imperial court finance, but only formulated a general collection ratio of "thirty taxes and one";

Despite this, the "Department of Taxation" has formulated a series of taxation measures, which have been used to this day:

Roughly speaking, the existing commercial tax in Daming is mainly divided into "residential tax" and "passing tax":

Among them, "residence tax" is the tax levied by the government on the goods or merchants transported and sold in the process of commodity trade, including various transaction taxes, business taxes and landing taxes, etc.;

"Housing tax", which is mainly levied in the local market, is also called "municipal tax"; Of course, sometimes taxes are levied on the production of certain goods, such as alcohol and vinegar;

The existing "housing tax" items mainly include "official store money", "market door money", "couch room tax", "tooth tax" and so on;

"Passing taxes" refers to the fact that in the process of transporting goods, the government sets up checkpoints on various transportation arteries to levy taxes on passing commodities and means of transport;

The objects of its collection are mainly merchants or shipowners and owners who transport commodities, and there are mainly "banknote tariffs", "tax extraction", "door tax", "Huai'an four taxes" and so on;

There are many commercial tax items in Daming, but the tax rate has always been low!

Just like in the orthodox years, the annual commercial tax in the country was only 40,000 taels;

In the middle of the Hongzhi period, the country's annual commercial tax was only 80,000 taels!

At this time, during the Chongzhen period, the industry and commerce in Jiangnan were booming, and its tax rate still maintained "one out of thirty";

Due to the "collusion between officials and businessmen" and the "lack of attention" of the imperial court, the real commercial tax rate is far less than "one out of thirty", and it is almost tax-free operation!

Now, for their different purposes, Zhu Youzhen and Wei Zhongxian have taken a fancy to commercial taxation at the same time!

What they touched was not only the interests of the Jiangnan Donglin Party, but the interests of officials, gentry, tycoons and businessmen all over the world!

The cabinet headed by Wen Tiren refuted Zhu Youzhen's edict, which is reasonable!

However, because Wei Zhongxian's East Factory is "hard enough", Zhu Youjian's body is also "hard" enough!

As long as the decree is carried out, nothing is a problem!

Officials disagree, it doesn't matter!

The cabinet's refutation, it doesn't matter!

Big deal, as before, bypass the cabinet!

If you have any opinions, ask Wei Zhongxian to break them!

If Wei Zhongxian can't break you, I'll add another Wang Li!

Who's afraid of whom?

Silver is not everything!

But without money, you can't!

Hum!

Civil officials, all of them can be killed!

I'm in a hurry, and I have a good life with you!

"Long live the ......"

Zhu Youzhen was full of ambition, and Wang Chengen was worried and handed over a note.

Oh?

Sun Ge Lao did a good job, why did he resign again?

As soon as he leaves, isn't there a group of dragons without a leader on the Liaodong side?

Alas!

Sun Ge is seventy and three, and his health has not been good!

Now that Huang Taiji has evacuated the Daling River, then, he can't embarrass Sun Ge anymore!

It's just that as soon as Sun Ge leaves, who can still preside over the overall situation in Liaodong?

Alas, a headache!

……

After receiving Zhu Youzhen's letter, Wang Li also had a headache!

Isn't it the duty of the ministry to recommend candidates?

Zhu Youzhen, that guy, why did you ask me to recommend candidates?

None of the officials of the Manchu Dynasty took the initiative to ask for help, and none of them were competent?

I can't really count on it!

That group of guys, spraying people is more poisonous than the other, and the whole people are more ruthless than the other!

When it comes to making money, one is more capable than the other!

When it comes to big things, one is more obscene than the other!

Tema's, find me again!

Last time, he wanted me to be the "Governor of the Broken Captives", which was obviously a sinkhole!

It's good to say, let Old Man Sun go out to block the gun and escape for the time being!

It's only been stable for more than a year, and you want to push me into the pit?

Sun Ge Lao has high prestige, high qualifications, foresight, and steady work, he is the best candidate, why should he resign?

In terms of age, he is only five years older than Wei Zhongxian!

Wei Zhongxian is working hard, why did he resign?

"Factory father, actually...... Sun Ge is also powerless!

Guan Ningjun is in arrears again, what can he do?

Huang Taiji has surrounded the Daling River for so long, and there has been no mutiny, all thanks to the old town of Sun Ge!

It's just that today's Liaodong is no longer the Liaodong it used to be! ”

Song Zhe wanted to speak and stopped, Wang Lisecond understood his original intention!

Just like a few years ago in the northwest, Cao Wenzhao became his own department, and Hong Chengchou, as the governor of the three sides, could not command him!

At this time, Liaodong is the same!

Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui secretly became Wei Zhongxian's subordinates!

Sun Chengzong, as the governor of Jiliao, couldn't command these two people!

Otherwise, the original "waiting for work" would have been successful a long time ago!

Sun Chengzong is really smart enough, he resigned on the grounds of "old age and illness", and did not offend Wei Zhongxian!

At the moment, if there is no suitable candidate to recommend, Zhu Youzhen will not give up, and will bite himself to death!

I have long said that the place in Liaodong is cold and freezing, and it is really not a place for people to stay!

Even if there is no Huang Taiji, even if it is not a sinkhole, I would rather die!

Now the question is, the change of officials in the DPRK and China is faster than changing clothes, who can I recommend?

It's just a matter of finding someone to fill the hole, and if something goes wrong with the person who recommended it, I'll also suffer!

For those who don't know, do I dare to recommend it easily?

I recommend a few enemies to fill the pit, do people dare to go, will people go?

Those guys, they're all thieves!

Only they pushed me into the pit, and I want to push them into the pit, it's even harder than climbing to the sky!

Who told me to be so honest!

Alas!

If you don't want to suffer in a row, Yuan Chonghuan and Chen Qiyu are both suitable candidates!

But do I dare to recommend them?

How many heads do I have that I don't have enough to chop?

Cao Wenzhao in my hand likes silver and wants to make military merits, and he is not afraid of the Eight Banners!

However, my thief in the northwest cannot do without him!

Moreover, he can't stop Zu Dashou!

Zhu Youjian on this dog day, you can't settle down, why do you keep giving me problems!

It's so tiring to be your courtier!

"Factory father, I will help you recommend someone, he should not refuse!"

Hearing this, Wang Li was full of suspicions.

Song Zhe was full of confidence, and said word by word: "Yang Sichang! ”

Scold!

If it hadn't been for Song Zhe to mention it, he would have almost forgotten about this person!

He served as the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan for several years, and it seems that he has never fought!

It doesn't matter what he's capable of!

Let him fill the hole, at least much better than those civil officials!

The most important thing is that in order to wash away his father's shame, he has a strong desire to make meritorious contributions!

He's willing to fill in the pits!

In a sense, he will also be obedient!

A few years ago, if he hadn't helped him with advice, his father Yang He would have been clicked by Zhu Youzhen!

As for Zu Dashou, He Kegang and Wu Sangui, just say hello to Wei Zhongxian and let them obey Yang Sichang's command, there should be no chaos!

Don't think about it, it's him!

What do you say, "Those who are filial piety must be virtuous"!

I recommend a big iron talent, Zhu Youzhen will be satisfied!

"Factory father, Mr. Sun sent an urgent letter asking about Gao Yingxiang's movements!"

"Oh?"

Wang Li frowned, and quickly took the letter.

Scold!

This Sun Chuanting is really a talent!

Far away in Guanzhong, he actually knew Gao Yingxiang's movements?

"Governor Wang, if it is true that Gao Yingxiang returned to Shennongjia, it is true that he quietly went around from Yunyang to Hanzhong, and it is still possible!"

Chen Qiyu was worried, and Wang Li realized the seriousness of the problem!

Last year, Chen Wangting recruited a group of strong people and was ordered to stay in Shiquan at the southern end of the Meridian Road to prevent thieves from all walks of life from escaping into Hanzhong;

Later, due to the expulsion of the thieves outside the Saiwai, and then the siege of the thieves in Yansui, there was no longer any need to guard the Meridian Road, and Chen Wangting returned to Chengdu;

At this time, in Hanzhong, except for a few brocade guards who maintained order, there were no other soldiers and horses!

If Gao Yingxiang had entered Hanzhong, wouldn't hundreds of thousands of people have suffered?

More than 2 million acres of rice fields in Hanzhong are about to be harvested!

Wouldn't the brick and tile workshops, sericulture workshops, silk weaving factories, and iron-making workshops in Hanzhong all suffer?

I'll it!

Chen Wangting's little bit of rural bravery, where can he stop Gao Yingxiang?

Even if he can block it, it will be too late to rush from Chengdu to Hanzhong!

"Governor Wang, actually...... Gao Yingxiang really went to Hanzhong, which is not a bad thing!

On the contrary, as long as Cao Wenzhao moves, he can still force him into Hanzhong! Chen Qiyu thought for a moment and continued: "

All the Ming armies are in Guanzhong, and they can quickly go south through the plank road, guard the passes of all roads, and prevent thieves from going north to Guanzhong;

At the same time, Cao Wenzhao could divide his troops into two routes, all the way through Yunyang, Baihe, and Luyang to pursue along the road, forcing Gao Yingxiang to enter Hanzhong, and at the same time preventing him from re-entering Huguang;

On the other hand, the Hui synchronous soldiers flow into Sichuan along the Yangtze River, and then divide into three roads and go north along the Jinniu Road, Micang Road and Lychee Road, which can besiege the thieves on all sides!

The rice in Hanzhong is about to be harvested, and although Gao Yingxiang can get supplies, he is in the plains and has no danger to defend!

Under the charge of my heavy cavalry, it can only be lambs to be slaughtered! ”

Thinking about it carefully, Chen Qiyu's plan is extremely safe, and there is no problem!

However, his plan took a long time, and he completely ignored the materials in Hanzhong!

The rich Hanzhong is rich in products, which is not comparable to Henan, Shaanxi and Shanxi, which have been affected by disasters year after year!

In the past month or so, Gao Yingxiang has done whatever he wants in Hanzhong, and my loss will be astronomical!

No way!

You can't do that!

Cao Wenzhao can chase after him, but he can't divide the soldiers into two ways!

Moreover, you have to chase it immediately, and chase it with all your might!

It must be killed so that Gao Yingxiang's chickens and dogs jump, and he didn't dare to touch Lao Tzu's materials!

At the same time, Chen Wangting was ordered to quickly recruit Xiangyong to block the Golden Bull Road, Micang Road and Lychee Road to prevent Gao Yingxiang from entering Sichuan!

Eight thousand brocade guards, quickly enter the Sichuan, and assist Chen Wangting to block the main road!

The soldiers and horses over there in Guanzhong don't have to work hard to move the crowd into Hanzhong!

As long as he guards the exits of the four ancient roads, Gao Yingxiang will be unable to fly!

Wang Li's plan, slightly changed on the basis of Chen Qiyu's plan, is much more radical!

However, combined with the dangerous terrain around Hanzhong, Gao Yingxiang can also be completely surrounded to death!

Therefore, Chen Qiyu does not object.

However, Wang Li and Chen Qiyu were too nervous and too cautious, and they all looked up to Gao Yingxiang!

In other words, I didn't understand Gao Yingxiang's strategic goals!
