Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 483 Operation Hurricane
Since Chongzhen last sent the news of fundraising to the emperor's relatives and nobles of the Ming Dynasty, for a month, most of the princes, county kings, and dukes and nobles from all over the country have not raised their hair, and the court has had little effect.

But not everyone is short-sighted. Mu Tianbo, Duke of Guizhou in Yunnan, donated 40 taels.

Fu Wang Zhu Yousong of Luoyang pledged 38 taels, and King Gui and several other vassal kings pledged a total of 86 taels.

Zhang Weixian, the son of the Duke of England, also donated an additional 26 taels behind his father Zhang Shize's back.

There are also a few earls and marquises who pledged different amounts, and raised more than two million taels within a month, even so, it is still a drop in the bucket.

Soldiers who died in battle needed money, digging dams and canals in the north needed money, disaster relief also needed money, military salaries, official salaries, royal honorary salaries...

More than 200 million taels were thrown into the Ming court at this moment, and they were divided up without even a splash.

On the afternoon when Liu Hongjian just returned to the capital, he rushed to the palace with his personal guards.

Cao Huachun, the governor of the East Factory, and Liang Yang and Zhang Shunyu, the two commanders of Jin Yiwei, were present, and even He Guoxing, the deputy admiral of the Beijing camp, came.

Without the participation of courtiers or even the cabinet, the six people discussed in the warm cabinet until the evening before leaving.

"Your Majesty, have you really thought it over?" Liu Hongjian asked again.

He is not a person who is indecisive, but what is going to be moved now is the nobles who have lived together for 300 years. These people include princes who have been entrusted by the Jin Dynasty in the past, and there are even clan vassals who have multiplied for 300 years.

They may not have many soldiers in their hands, but don't forget, not to mention Gonghou Bo, but the members of Daming's clan are more than 20, and they are only men.

What is this concept?
That is to say, even if each of these clans has ten soldiers who can fight, the total number is more than 100 million. How many soldiers can Da Ming currently fight?

Although Chongzhen Xiaoming has interests, but at this stage, Chongzhen is the one who bears the biggest risk, and it is useless to say more.

"Youming, I know you're worried, but I've made up my mind, I've exhausted all my benevolence and righteousness, and there's no turning back when I shoot the bow, just let go and do it." Chongzhen sighed.

As early as more than half a year ago, Liu Hongjian mentioned to Chongzhen that Xungui was a cancer that overwhelmed Daming, a vampire bat clinging to Daming's body.

What Liu Hongjian said is true, according to the current tax revenue, Ming's annual income is only five or six million taels, and only one-third of the salaries of the nobles will be shared every year.

But Chongzhen still criticized Liu Hongjian at that time. After all, from Chongzhen's own point of view, the clan was the blood relatives of his Zhu family.

But now it seems that he was wrong.

He regards these clans as relatives, what about these clans?

When he was desperately trying to save Daming from danger, what were these clans doing?

Well, the clan vassals have no soldiers in their hands, so they can't help the king, but now that the court is in such a difficult situation, I ask you to pay some money, is this too much?
cry poor?I cried once a year ago, and that time, Chongzhen believed me.

Really no money?

The Ming Dynasty treated the imperial family well, every year the prince paid [-] shi, and the county king [-] shi, and the court paid for weddings and funerals, which was only a small part of it.

There are countless Zilitian entrusted to the clan, and which one has no business yet?

Since Jinyiwei and Dongchang took office, Chongzhen was shocked by the family property accounts submitted by nobles from all over the country.

But Chongzhen still gave them a chance this time, what happened?Except for a few vassal kings who made a symbolic expression, the rest were indifferent.

In fact, even if a family of hundreds of thousands of clan members pays 5000 taels, it can help the court help the Zhu family get through the temporary embarrassment.

What Chongzhen didn't expect was that the blood relatives of the royal family and nobles of the dynasty he expected were so indifferent and short-sighted. He was disappointed and resentful that he couldn't sleep at night.

A nobleman who has been raised for 300 years is really not as good as a pig that has been raised for 300 years!

So what are you keeping them for?
"I will do my best to handle this matter well! Your Majesty wants to rest, and I will resign." Liu Hongjian knew that he was the one who made this suggestion, but it was Chongzhen who ultimately bore the consequences.

Chongzhen not only had to bear the risk of rebellion by the nobles, but also had to bear the condemnation of conscience. After all, he was using a knife on the Zhu family!

On the second day, the capital remained as usual, but the two largest secret service agencies in the world were already operating at full capacity.

At the same time, in the Xishan Camp in the capital, Lin He, Lu Haibo, Wu Binghao and many other original crew members who had returned from the Northern Expedition were ready to go.

On September [-], Chongzhen issued a decree that Lin He, the general of the Beijing camp, took over the defense of the capital, and the entire capital was under martial law.

Both civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were shocked, and all the officials knew that something big was going to happen in the near future, but no one dared to touch Chongzhen's bad luck about what it was.

Today's Chongzhen is not the Chongzhen that was at their mercy a year ago. The courtiers should deal with government affairs, should deal with government affairs, and should be on the lower level.

Taining Hou Mansion.

Beside a sumptuous banquet, Chen Yanzuo, Marquis of Taining, and Xu Yunjue, Duke of Wei, exchanged glasses, and there were as many as seven or eight maidservants serving the banquet.

"Brother Xu, there seems to be something wrong with the capital these two days. I don't know what the emperor is going to do." Chen Yanzuo filled Xu Yunjue's glass again and said.

"The devil knows that the Duke of this country really shouldn't have come this time. It's all because of the unsatisfactory prodigal sons in the family, and now I can't even leave this capital." Xu Yunjue was resentful.

Today, when he went to the palace to meet Chongzhen, he was turned away. It was the first time that Xu Yunjue felt so aggrieved after being the Duke of the state all his life.

"In my opinion, this matter is not that simple. The street is full of fans from Dongchang. The lights at the Jinyiwei yamen were lit all night last night. Brother, tell me, is it because the emperor treated us at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet?" If you are dissatisfied, you want to... hiss—"

Chen Yanzuo was talking casually at first, but after he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong, Your Majesty...is he really...

"Hmph! We are hereditary lords granted by the Emperor Taizu. We earned the money ourselves. Why should we donate it to the imperial court for free?

What about the emperor?Can the old man still despise the law? "Although Xu Yunjue was also a little uneasy, he still didn't believe that Chongzhen dared to attack the nobles.

"That's what you said, we understand the emperor, but what about the kid?" Chen Yanzuo suddenly felt a little shudder when he thought of Liu Hongjian, the king of Anguo County.

Duang—Duang—Duang—there was a sudden knock on the door outside.

"Open the door! Open the door!"

"Who is so presumptuous, dare to be arrogant in the Hou's mansion!" Several servants of the Hou's mansion angrily went to open the door with sticks, and planned to teach the clamoring people outside the door a lesson.

But when the door opened, all the servants were dumbfounded.

"Jin Yiwei handles the case, and is ordered by the Holy One to arrest the criminal Chen Yanzuo. Those who resist will be killed without mercy!"
