Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 586 Do not cry without seeing the coffin

Sure enough, as everyone expected, the content of the report sent by Mingzhou Jinyiwei Qianhu was the same as that of Songjiang Mansion, and it was also about the attack on court officials. Fortunately, no relevant personnel were injured or killed in the incident this time. Most of the built infrastructure of Xinmingzhou Port was destroyed and burned, and the construction period of the port, which was originally planned to be put into use in early next summer, was forced to be postponed.

The operation to destroy Mingzhou Port was carried out at night.

After the project was suspended that day, most of the officials from the Ministry of Industry and the Mingzhou Government who were in charge of assisting the work returned to the nearby Yinxian County to rest after a busy day, and the employed young and strong also basically returned home.Only a few migrant workers from other places were left on the construction site, as well as a few officials from the Ministry of Industry, who stayed on duty at night to prevent anyone from stealing construction materials. Everything was as calm and peaceful as usual.

At around [-]:[-] that night, dozens of men in black with knives and guns suddenly appeared at the port. This group of soldiers threatened the left behind loudly not to come out of the wooden house, and then a large number of unidentified people rushed to the port with torches, armed with tools. Port facilities were demolished.

The entire destruction process lasted for more than two hours before it came to an end. After all the people had withdrawn, the left-behind personnel came out of the house tremblingly, and only after confirming that all the people had indeed left did they survey the scene.

Since the gates of the county seat were not allowed to be opened at night, and the people left behind were afraid of being in danger, the news was not sent into the city until after dawn the next day.

Afterwards, the chief officials at all levels in Mingzhou and the Qianhu Office of Jinyiwei led people to the scene to investigate, but in the end they found nothing.After a brief discussion, a group of officials decided to report the matter to the imperial court and request the cabinet to make a decision.

Since Jin Yiwei's news transmission channel is much faster than that of the local government, Jin Yiwei was the first to deliver the matter to the capital.

"The two ports under construction in Songjiang and Mingzhou have accidents one after another. Such actions are by no means accidental! It is clear that someone deliberately sabotaged the imperial court's plan to open the sea! This kind of blatant defiance of the imperial court is no different from rebellion, and it must be resolute and strong as soon as possible. Fight back, completely eliminate the factors of instability, and maintain the unimpeded flow of imperial government orders!
I invite you to go to Mingzhou to deal with this matter, in order to find out the matter and at the same time implement the strategy of opening the sea as soon as possible! "

After reading the Mingzhou Express, Sun Chuanting, who had not said much, got up first to salute and played loudly, with a strong sense of murder in his tone.

Sun Chuanting, who was born in the north, actually knew very little about the so-called Jiangnan gentry group, and he had neither a good nor a bad impression of them.

In his mind, it is precisely because the environment in the south of the Yangtze River is too rich and stable that this group of people indulge in pleasure and indulge in drinking and sex all day long, so that they are very concerned about the hardships and hardships of tens of millions of people in the north. Lacking sufficient awareness, they did not pay much attention and support to the imperial court's intention to obtain a large amount of wealth by opening the sea to feed back the people.

In fact, this is understandable. As long as the conditions are met, it is human nature to enjoy the glory and wealth. This is something that no one can resist.

As long as these people can obey the orders of the imperial court and have no hindrance to the implementation of the imperial court's decrees, then in the future, according to the actual situation, they can selectively use officials from Jiangnan.

But the vicious incidents that happened in Songjiang Mansion and Mingzhou Mansion this time made him wake up immediately. When faced with someone who wants to take benefits from him, this group of people can do anything.Since I have been promoted by the emperor as the second assistant of the cabinet, I will never allow the authority of the emperor and the court to be ignored and provoked.

"Sun Qing's remarks are very much in line with my wishes!
The reason why Jiangnan is prosperous and stable today is that countless good men in the North have exchanged their blood and lives for it!If there were no fearless sacrifices of countless people, once the thieves destroy the land of China, the prosperity and prosperity of the south of the Yangtze River will also be destroyed!
However, nowadays, there are a small group of self-interested elements, ignoring the tragic situation of the northern land thousands of miles away and starvation everywhere, indulging in personal self-interest all day long, seeing the imperial court's policy of benefiting the people as a scourge, and believing that the imperial court's open sea tax collection is to rob them of their personal interests. private property!

Don't you know that, whether it is building water conservancy projects, reclaiming wasteland, relocating refugees, buying food from overseas, soldiers' food and salaries, court officials' salaries, etc., which one is not costly?According to statistics from the Ministry of Household Affairs, such expenses require at least 500 million taels of silver per year!For such a huge amount of money, if we don't try to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, where should we raise it? !

The huge profits of sea trade are known to everyone in the world, and only Jing Haibo's lineage earns tens of millions of profits from sea trade every year!Not to mention tens of thousands of other maritime merchants!The imperial court guards this treasure mountain and sits back and watches others return with profit. While they are enjoying the stability and peace, they never have the heart to serve the imperial court. Is there such a reason in the world?

The imperial court set up customs to collect taxes, not to satisfy the personal interests of my Zhu family and the court officials, this must be known to them!
After Sun and Lu Erqing went south this time, they wanted to tell everyone the truth of this place. If there are those who repent, they can be treated as good people who abide by the law; Thieves are dealt with!
Wang Qing and the two of them must keep in mind that they must let them know all about it, and don't regret it when the steel knife is added to the neck!Don't say it's unexpected! "

Zhu Youjian delivered a lengthy speech with a serious demeanor, fully explaining the importance of opening the sea and collecting taxes, and finally gave the final requirement for the handling of these two incidents: courtesy first and soldiers later.

In fact, Zhu Youjian knew in his heart that Jiangnan interest groups had formed an atmosphere of turning a deaf ear to the government's decrees for many years. Even if Sun and Lu went south and spoke more seriously, it would not have any effect at all.

Some people just don’t cry when they see the coffin. For those whose hearts have swelled to the extreme and believe that no one in the world can cure them, we can only use iron and blood to teach them how to behave.

History has proved that the emperor of Ming Dynasty treated the gentry too favorably and weakly.Except for the Taizu Taizong, all subsequent emperors of the Ming Dynasty took their reputation too seriously. Once they introduced any policies that harmed the gentry group, they would be defeated by the courtiers' attacks.

It is this connivance and tolerance time after time that made many officials and gentry develop the mentality of what can the emperor do to us, always put on a shirtless, chest-patting, invulnerable posture, and when they see the other party moving When it was true, in the end, it was no surprise that the shit was fucked.

Isn't the gentry's one-body payment of food strongly promoted by Yongzheng in the Manchu Qing Dynasty a clear proof?In the whole process, many people were killed, and among the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River who were clamoring endlessly during the Zhu Ming Dynasty, which one in the end was not obedient and obedient?

"I hope that the two Qing families will live up to my expectations after going south this time, and push back the matter of opening the sea as soon as possible!"
