Chapter 71: The Fan Family Collapses (2)
Fan Yongdou could hear this, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
In these years, those who become officials will be more tactful.
For the sake of the interests of the imperial court, sacrificing personal interests, this kind of thing is rare.
And like He Xuan, who is obviously a hot-blooded young man, this kind of thing is even rarer.
None of them had ever coped with such a situation.
However, Fan Yongdou deserves to be the big boss of the Fan family, and after all kinds of news in his mind, he immediately organized his words: "You said that I did business with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and I admit this." But this is not only me doing it, countless Jin merchants are doing it. And officials from all sides know about it. If this is considered a traitor, then there are too many traitors. ”
"Moreover, as a thousand households now, you should also know the military comparison between the Ming and Qing dynasties. ”
"The Ming Dynasty now claims to have a million troops, but in fact, there are millions of people who can really fight? You and I both know that it is all fake. Back and forth, that is, Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong, Yang Guozhu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, Tang Tong, the chief soldier of Miyun, Bai Guangen, the chief soldier of Jifu, Cao Bianjiao, the chief soldier of the East Association, Ma Ke, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, Wang Tingchen, the chief soldier of Qiantun Guard, Wu Sangui, the chief soldier of Ningyuan, and Zuo Liangyu, the chief soldier of Hubei, have some soldiers under these people, and the total soldiers and horses are only 200,000 to die. ”
"There are still some soldiers in other places, but one movement remains the same. Second, these soldiers are even worse and cannot fight. ”
"And now on the Manchu side, there are more than 400 cattle records in real cattle records. There are more than 300 people in Yiniulu. In other words, the Manchus now had more than 100,000 troops. ”
"The ferocity of the Manchu army is well known. And the combat effectiveness of those soldiers in the Ming Dynasty is even weaker than well. ”
"The war between the Manchus and the Ming State, the combat effectiveness of the two sides, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is actually much higher than the Ming State. ”
"Since more than ten years ago, the Ming army has basically been on the defensive, and the Manchus are on the offensive. ”
"But if you keep it for a long time, you will lose it. ”
"Not to mention, now that the northwest side is like that, the combat effectiveness of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong is weaker than the regular Ming army. However, they were able to involve a part of the Ming Dynasty's troops. ”
In this way, the Ming Dynasty was no match for the Manchus. ”
"After talking about military strength, let's talk about financial resources. ”
"Don't look at the Ming Dynasty is very large, the territory is vast, and it seems that taxes are collected everywhere. But that stupid emperor, who believes in nothing and does not compete with the people, has not received taxes everywhere. Think about Wei Zhongxian, he can be regarded as a generation of virtuous and virtuous ministers. During his reign, the tea tax in Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces alone could collect 200,000 taels of silver. As soon as he was cut by Chongzhen, the tea tax in Zhejiang and Jiang provinces in the second year only received twelve taels of silver, you heard it right, it was twelve taels of silver. Fan Yongdou laughed so much that tears were about to come out: "Now the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is simply the poorest emperor. ”
"The treasury of the Ming Dynasty is also the poorest treasury, and I bet that the treasury of the Ming Dynasty must not exceed one million taels of silver. It's not as good as our Fan family. A million taels of silver, which sounds like a lot. But, that's enough for a fart. It doesn't cost a few million taels to levy Liao's salary, and it also costs money for disaster relief in the northwest. The Ming Dynasty couldn't afford to give money. ”
"The Ming Dynasty is now a dynasty that is close to financial collapse. ”
On the other hand, the Manchu Qing Dynasty seemed to be a very small country, and there was no special business for money. However, they made a lot of money by invading the Ming Kingdom again and again. What is even more valuable is that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was established as a new state, and the entire bureaucratic system was quite simple. There are people who make money from it, but compared to the Ming Kingdom, there are too few and too few. Now, on the contrary, it is a relatively small country like the Qing State, which is financially rich. ”
"When the two countries go to war, one looks at the military strength and the other looks at the financial strength, and the two pay equal attention to the two. ”
"The Manchu Qing Dynasty, both in military and financial strength, was above the Ming State. ”
"Under such circumstances, how can the Ming Kingdom be undefeated? Not to mention the current emperor Chongzhen, who is even more pretending to be shrewd, and is really an extremely confused emperor. Such a Ming country, where is there any future. ”
"I dare to testify that within ten years, the Ming Kingdom will perish. ”
"He Qianhu, if you can fight again, one person can fight hundreds of people? It should be the limit, right, it is impossible for one person to fight a thousand? Fight 10,000, right?"
"You alone can't save the general trend of the Ming Kingdom's demise. ”
"You are so young, you still have a great future, and you will have a beautiful wife and beautiful relatives in the future, and you will die like this?
"You have family, you have friends. ”
"If you swear to resist the Qing Dynasty to the death. When the time comes, when the Qing Dynasty enters the Central Plains, not only will you die, but your family and your friends will also die because of it. Can you bear it?"
"Good birds choose trees to perch on. Why do you have to die with a ship that will sink, why do you have to die with the Ming Dynasty that will die. ”
Fan Yongdou spoke at length, and his tongue was like a spring: "Between you and me, there is no real hatred that cannot be dissolved, even if you kill my second son Fan Helin, it is not a big deal." I can be your introducer, and I can introduce you to the Emperor Huang Taiji of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. With the skills of He Qianhu, it will inevitably be valued in the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Emperor Taiji of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the most important warrior. At that time, the official position will be fixed above the current deputy thousand households. ”
"Smack, smack, smack. He Xuan couldn't help but sigh: "What a clever tongue like a spring, Fan Yongdou with a three-inch tongue is worthy of being the head of the Jin merchants and the head of the traitors, this eloquence is really good." ”
"Compare the military and financial resources of the Ming and Qing states. Then I was told to think about myself, my family, my friends. Step by step. ”
"If it's someone else, maybe you'll be tempted. ”
"It's amazing. ”
He Xuan walked in front of Fan Yongdou step by step, his hand condensed, directly grabbed Fan Yongdou's collar, and lifted the others up: "But you are wrong, you said that it is impossible for a person to fight a thousand, fight 10,000? ”
"The total population of the Manchu Qing was less than one million, and the total number of troops was only about 120,000. ”
"Then I'll kill it alone. ”
"What a simple thing. ”
Fan Yongdou was dumbfounded.
He said such a reasonable tirade, and he originally thought of several possibilities. One is that He Xuan listened to his own persuasion, and everyone threw themselves into the Manchu Qing Dynasty together, and they were very happy. The second possibility is that He Xuan, out of national integrity or something, rejected his suggestion to throw himself to the Manchus. And Fan Yongdou can debate on the issue of national integrity, and persuade He Xuan with a three-inch tongue.
But I never thought that it would be this answer.
He Xuan, he, actually planned to slaughter the 120,000 soldiers and horses of the Qing Dynasty alone?
Is he really going to be an enemy country?
How can a man be an enemy of a country?
It's still a human idea, it's crazy, right?
From ancient times to the present, there is absolutely no one who has ever given birth to such a crazy idea!
The craziest people in history have not been so crazy!
What kind of madman is this? What kind of crazy idea does he have?
Maniac, Maniac, Maniac, Maniac, Maniac!
Absolute big madman!!
(Speaking of which, the first two chapters say that King Fu went to Pingyao, which is indeed a mistake.) The feudal clan can't leave the fiefdom, I'm wrong, admit my mistake. )
(It's cool when I write about madmen madness!)
