Chapter 343

"Meritorious Boss!"

died unjustly for this reason, and the first thing that came to everyone's mind was Yue Fei, a famous anti-gold general in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Of course, Yue Fei is not the only minister who died unjustly, from the four generals of the Warring States Period, except for Wang Jian who retreated bravely, like Bai Qi, Li Mu, and Lian Po, all died unjustly.

With the power to quell the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms in one fell swoop, Zhou Yafu, who has made great achievements, and Han Xin, the god of soldiers, are simply not too much. In order to protect himself, Wei Qing never raised a soldier, did not have too much contact with the powerful in the court, did not participate in political affairs, and lived a muddy life all day long, which made him a threat to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and also made Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty unable to grasp the handle, so Wei Qing had a good ending and was able to die a good death.

Xu Da, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, had the merits, prestige and power to the point where Zhu Yuanzhang was alert, but Xu Da was respectful and cautious, and he later lost to Wang Baobao on the battlefield, which weakened his prestige and made Zhu Yuanzhang not suspicious of him for the time being.

Sun Zhili listened to Zhou Ning's words, and suddenly became alert: "What do you want to do?" ”

"I don't want to die, I want to live!"

Zhou Ning is in the Ning Navy, he is the chief of the general staff, and his father is the deputy marshal of the Ning Navy, although he has not been in control of the military power, but in fact, in the Ning Navy Group, the Zhou family is second only to the Cheng family.

If Cheng Shijie is liquidated in the future, Zhou Ning can't run, his brother Zhou An can't run either, and his father Zhou Yandong can't run either.

When Sun Zhili heard this, he was silent.

In fact, although Sun Zhili and Sun Chengzong are grandchildren, the problem is that Sun Chengzong is Sun Chengzong, and Sun Zhilan is Sun Zhilan, when the commander Qi Jin died in the Battle of the Hunhe River, he looked at the surviving soldiers of the Qi family army and said: "The Qi family owes all the soldiers and loses money to the Zhejiang fathers, but only they have never owed the imperial court!" ”

Sun Zhilan can also pat his chest, and the Gaoyang Sun family also did not owe anything to the imperial court, but the imperial court owed Gaoyang Sun.

Sun Zhili looked at Zhou Ning and said: "There is only one life, if there is a choice, who wants to die?" However, the world is ......"

"If you don't think about the people in the world, do you think we need to swallow our anger?"

Zhou Ning said angrily: "Don't you know the nature of those civil officials in the court?" They don't have other skills, but the ability to drag their own people back is unmatched! ”

"This matter needs to be considered in the long run!"

"This is nature, it is a matter of life and death for millions of people, so we have to be cautious!"

Nowadays, the Ning Navy is not only more than 300,000 soldiers in the whole army, but also millions of military families and workers, once the imperial court raises the butcher's knife to the Ning Navy, don't expect them to be merciful.

Just like the Dongjiang Army that year, after Mao Wenlong was not guilty, the imperial court did not let go of the Dongjiang Army, and was eager to eat the meat of the Dongjiang Army and drink their blood.

The Ning Navy absorbed most of the officers and men of the Dongjiang Army, so they were very sensitive to this matter.

Sun Zhirong said: "Now we must arrange a back hand in Gyeonggi!" ”

"Chen Guodong has gone to the capital!"

So far, more than 3,000 people have been executed by military law, in fact, the officers account for two-thirds, and some officers are all heroes who have made great contributions, but they can also bear the corresponding price if they make mistakes.

After Chen Guodong led more than 200 sergeants from the Military Supervision Department to enter Gyeonggi under the guise of makeup, a strange atmosphere permeated the city of Beijing, which even the most dull people could feel.

In fact, when Jing'an Fort fell, the capital was under martial law, and at the beginning, everyone still took it for granted, after all, the border pass was a sea of corpses and blood, and it was strange that the capital was not under martial law.

However, with the passage of time, everyone found that they had cut off contact with the outside world, and the Beijing camp, which had always been lazy and unpresentable, patrolled the streets and alleys with vigor as if they had found chicken blood, and officials died inexplicably every other day, and the entire capital was shrouded in an atmosphere of terror, and the number of scholars and officials who poured into the capital did not decrease, but increased......

All of this is terrifying. The most surprising thing is that those Qingliu spray dogs who have always been deceitful are now also closed their mouths, and acquaintances ask them about the news of the DPRK, they just smile mysteriously, and refuse to say anything, and then think of the news outside the customs is broken, just thinking about it, it makes people shudder.

The timid and a little way have tried their best to escape from this cage that suffocates them, and those who have no way to stay in the capital have to continue to stay in the capital, but fortunately, although the capital is now under martial law, but I don't know why, the price has been lowered, and the people are still alive.

This is the credit of the Ning Navy, although Cheng Shijie led the officers and men of the Ning Navy to fight in the border pass with rivers of blood and mountains, but in the capital, on this battlefield where the smoke of gunpowder is invisible, the Ning Navy also showed their fangs.

As Song Xiansheng's Dashun army began to block the canal, the price of grain in the capital began to skyrocket, however, before the Ning Navy was frozen, it transported grain to Gyeonggi, and this number was as high as more than 220,000 stone a day, however, these grains, when they arrived in Gyeonggi, did not have time to enter the capital at all, and were bought by mysterious people with cash.

When the grain price was at its highest, rice was sold for 13 taels or 4 yuan and a stone, which was more than 20 times more expensive than usual, however, the more they bought, the faster the Ning Navy shipped, and finally on December 24, the eighth year of Chongzhen, the price of grain in Gyeonggi began to fall.

And it is an abnormal fall, a precipitous fall, ten taels per stone of grain, seven taels, four taels, and now it is seven cents of silver per stone of grain, and it is the best rice, if it is wheat and beans, it is five cents of silver per stone and six cents of silver per stone, respectively.

Even in a bumper year, in recent years, the price of grain in Gyeonggi has never been so cheap, in fact, Ning Haijun transported grain to Gyeonggi and sold it for seven yuan of silver, which must be a loss, even if it is the highest yield of potato starch, it needs eight yuan of silver to protect the capital, and at least nine yuan of silver to make money.

But the problem is that the potato starch peddled by the major grain stores in the capital now only costs six dollars of silver per stone, which means that Ning Haijun will lose two dollars of silver for every stone of starch sold. But the question is, why did Ning Haijun sell it at a loss?

That's because there are a lot of well-meaning grain merchants, and at the highest price, Huazi buys Ning Haijun's starch for five taels or even ten taels of silver, which leads to Ning Haijun's grain, which is profitable as a whole.

During the Chinese New Year, more than 100 grain merchants of all sizes in Gyeonggi committed suicide, because they had already hoarded grain and went bankrupt, and the result was the same whether they sold it or not, Ning Haijun sold it at a crazy price with grain, and if they didn't sell it, they would only smash the grain in their hands, if Chongzhen had a severe drought in the ninth year and there was no harvest, they would still have a chance to turn over.

It's just a pity, seeing that the heavy snow fell in mid-December, Chongzhen's ninth year was not a bumper year, and it would not be too bad, and their hopes of turning over were completely shattered.

But the problem is that Ning Haijun took the IOU and collected their shops everywhere, and now they have lost most of their grain sales channels, and the future rise or fall of grain prices no longer belongs to them.

In this grain war, the Ning Navy invested more than 6 million stone of grain before and after, including more than 3.2 million stone of fine rice, 1.6 million stone of starch, and 800,000 stone of wheat and beans. Who knew that these grain merchants really couldn't bear it, and less than two-thirds of the more than 6 million stone grain had just been released, that is, more than 4 million stone, and these Gyeonggi grain merchants couldn't bear it.

They suffered heavy losses, but Ning Haijun made a lot of money, and the highest price of more than 4 million stone grain sold was ten taels of silver, and the lowest price was 223 taels of silver, even if it was averaged, it was as high as 4 taels of silver, and after removing the cost, it made a net profit of more than 14 million taels of silver.

If Emperor Chongzhen knew that just one grain from Shuntianfu could make more than 16 million taels of silver, how would he feel?

Fortunately, Cheng Shijie's heart was not dark enough, he knew that the people were too bitter, so he asked Xie Jinglin to control the price of grain and sell grain at a far lower price.

Ning Haijun not only dumped grain in the capital, but also salt, cloth, wool cloth, salted fish, dried meat, and canned meat, which greatly reduced the living costs of the people in the capital.

This kind of abnormal behavior has also made countless people feel panicked, and some bold people are actively looking for a way, they smell a great crisis, but they also smell a great opportunity.

Maybe it's an opportunity?

When Chen Guodong arrived in the capital, it took a lot of effort to sneak into the city of Beijing, and what he saw was such a scene, the prosperity of the capital in the past has withered away, pedestrians are scarce, the door is closed, and occasionally meet some passers-by, who are also in a hurry, and seem to be unwilling to stay on the road for a while.

On the contrary, the number of soldiers on patrol has increased exponentially, and when they see people they find suspicious, they are arrested and thrown into prison without saying a word, and some bold fellows even begin to use the excuse of harboring Tartar spies, raiding the homes of some wealthy families who are quite wealthy but have no backers, seizing their property, dividing up their daughters, and the sound of crying and wild laughter is endless, and the whole city of Beijing feels like a big prison to Chen Guodong, and these million residents are all prisoners!

It is a restaurant and restaurant, the fireworks and willow alleys are still lively, full of friends, countless scholars and civil officials moth crown Bo belt, staggered, dancing girls and courtesans dance with fluttering, singing loudly, as if people see the prosperity of the three thousand that belong to the prosperous era.

The ghost knows where so many merry scribes appeared, from Beizhili, Henan, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Jiangnan...... The south and the north are all together, and they are as energetic as chicken blood.

Seeing them, Chen Guodong's heart was on fire, and he wanted to lead someone to break in and slaughter them all! But he wasn't impulsive, because he knew it was their last madness.

Chen Guodong led people to an inconspicuous courtyard, and the guards beside Chen Guodong stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The porter poked out his head: "Earthquake Gaogang, a stream of water through the ages!" ”

"The door faces the sea, and the water of the Sanhe River flows for thousands of years."

Concierge knots handprints: "Your Excellency is"

Chen Guodong replied: "Marshal! ”

"Big brother, please!"

Chen Guodong is one of the people who have followed Cheng Shijie for the longest time, he and Shen Mingyu have followed Cheng Shijie successively, because Yang Yunniang is from a thousand doors, the Supervision and Military Highway Department established an intelligence organization very early, of course, it is only said that according to the eight generals of a thousand doors, the wind group, the fire group, the removal group, and the rumor group have been set up.

It can also be said that Ning Haijun's foreign affairs department has a very small establishment, and this organization has no de facto name, and the four generals are responsible to Chen Guodong respectively.

Taking the joint code of the Heaven and Earth Society can be regarded as Cheng Shijie's bad taste.

Now the person in charge of the capital is called Ma Xing, he is a native of Daxing County, and he can be regarded as the head snake of the capital, and he is a gangster himself, because he was blind, he offended Liu Qiao, the envoy of Jinyiwei, and was taken to Jinyiwei prison to taste eighteen kinds of torture, and later, Cheng Shijie did business with Jinyiwei and sold prisoners.

In the seventh year of Chongzhen, Ma Xing was sold to Liaodong, and then Chen Guodong was in the picture, although Ma Xing had no culture, only when his father Ma Hongchao was still alive, he studied private school for six years, and he was familiar with literature and ink.

He entered Chen Guodong's field of vision because of his literacy, but he never thought that he was still a master of intelligence, and later became the first leader of the wind group, and now he has been in the capital for a long time.

Xie Jinglin can catch the Gyeonggi grain merchants off guard, and most of them are due to Ma Xing.

"Meet the marshal!"

"There is only one marshal in Ninghai Kingdom, that is Cheng Shuai, in the future, you will still call me General!"

Chen Guodong is a Dingguo general from the second grade, and it is not wrong to call him a general.

Chen Guodong asked straight to the point: "Are you ready?" The handsome man is coming! ”

"Dongzhimen Haiguo Mansion, the six households on the left and right, have all been bought by humble positions, and the left and right have been opened up!"

Ma Xing took out a drawing from the dark grid and said: "The craftsmen of the construction, a total of six hundred and fifty-three people, were all sent to Luzon by the men, and no one knows this secret except for the men!" ”

"Very good!"

"Under the door, transport the four hundred and twenty fire dragon water type three to the capital city, and hide them in thirteen houses, all of which can attack the Forbidden City!"

"How did you do that?"

"In the past, it was really not easy to do it, but now Jingying only recognizes the money, and the money is in place, they don't check it at all, and let it go directly!"

"It's just that the artillery is not easy to bring in!"

Chen Guodong asked again: "What has happened in the capital recently?" ”

"Wu Zongda died unexpectedly!"

Ma Xing continued: "The subordinates bought the autopsy, and Huang Wu confessed that Wu Zongda was first drugged and stunned, and then hung on the beams of the house, pretending to commit suicide!" ”

Chen Guodong sneered: "They thought they could turn their hands into clouds and turn their hands into rain!" ”

"However, their goal was almost achieved!"

"Yes, they have completely destroyed the border defense line that they have painstakingly managed, and they have colluded with foreign enemies such as Mongolia and Dzungaria, and have spared no effort to destroy the Ming Dynasty!"

Chen Guodong said: "It's a pity, Dashuai, if they don't allow it, they will never succeed!" ”
