The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 202
Although it is impossible for "Sifang Express" to get involved in the core business of Shanxi merchants, as long as it monopolizes transportation, will it be far from mastering the business of these traitorous merchants?
Fighting for the right to transport the goods of Shanxi merchants can do anything, as long as the transportation is not undertaken by "Sifang Express", Huang Sifang will really send "flag guards" to organize bodyguards with good riding and archery skills to act as horse thieves.

The "Banner Guard" is a secret service organization. With them watching and chasing, they forced all the car and horse dealers that had long-term cooperation with Shanxi merchants to close down. .

Jin merchants are good at calculating, and all of them are extremely stingy. They organize the transportation by themselves and often lose their goods and die.

Little did they know that being caught by "Sifang Express" was equivalent to stepping into the coffin with one foot.

When the strength of the "Red Banner Army" has developed to a certain level, it will be time to see the poor. How interesting would it be to wipe out all the Shanxi merchants and put their hard-earned wealth in one pot?
Huang Han was busy with chores, and the officers under his command, such as Song Pengfei, Hanzi, Yang Guoen, Yuan Siming, Wang Zhanpeng, etc., were all single-minded. They had only one mission - to train a strong army. Therefore, the expanded "Red Banner Army" was No slack day.

Exercises, training, and confrontation are always going on, because the owner said that the "Red Banner Army" will never be idle, and will fight fierce battles again in a few months. If you don't train hard at this time, you may not even be able to return to your hometown in the future .

Many officials felt the taste from the patriarch's propaganda slogans. Now the "Red Banner Army" knew that the patriarch had lofty aspirations, and might lead everyone out of the customs to find Tartars and build slaves for retaliatory attacks.

The soldiers of the "Red Banner Army" trained even more desperately. They were worried that because their skills were not as good as theirs, they would die outside the pass. If they lost their lives outside the pass, they might really be buried on the spot.
Amidst the slogan "Sweat more in peacetime, bleed less in wartime." The hard-trained "Red Banner Army" is united as one, and they are ready to face a new battle.

Xu Guangqi became Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty and joined the cabinet. He did not forget his closed disciples. He often wrote to inquire about the growth of potatoes and sweet potatoes. Huang Han wrote back to inform his teacher that a good harvest was in sight.

He is an upright minister, selfless and generous in his heart, and he does not avoid his relatives when he promotes the virtuous.

In an early court, Xu Guangqi openly reported to the emperor that the civil servants and generals at all levels had been rewarded for the victories in the four cities. Why was there no reward for the soldiers of the "Red Banner Army"?

Huang Han, the leader of the "Red Banner Army", not only made great military exploits, but also made remarkable achievements in resettling refugees and organizing farmers to produce and save themselves. Wouldn't the court not commend such a loyal minister and good general who served the country and the people?

Indeed, in August, the imperial court hacked Yuan Chonghuan, the criminal governor, and many civil and military generals were promoted to rank.

The imperial court gave Sun Chengzong the Honorary Honor of Grand Tutor, Zheng Guochang and Zhang Fengyi were added to the rank of Minister of the Ministry of War and Prince Taibao, and Shiyin Jinyiwei commanded the affairs.

Jinzu Taishou Shaozhuan, Shiyin commanded Tongzhi.Song Wei, Ma Shilong and the prince Taibao, You Shilu and Yang Zhaoji became the prince Taishi, Wu Zimian was promoted to be the left governor...

Even Liu Zhilun and his generals were promoted to at least one rank, but Huang Han and his son and the "Red Banner Army" officers were missing.

It's not that Chongzhen treats one more than another, but that he is in a dilemma. Sun Dushi clearly demanded to find out the tricks of Yongping Xiandeng, and pointed the finger at Huang Han.

Sun Chengzong's implication is that this son is a hero, and if the Holy Son of Heaven reuses this man, Cao Cao at the end of Han Dynasty will appear in the Ming Dynasty version.

Chongzhen thought that Sun Chengzong's alarmist words were alarmist, and he didn't take it seriously at all in his heart. He was so young and arrogant, and he thought that even if Huang Han was a hero like Cao Cao, so what?Where can his literary and military strategy be compared with the cowardly Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty?

But the young emperor couldn't let the old and strong Master Sun lose face too much, so there was a delay and the award of the "Red Banner Army" was temporarily put on hold.

At this time, Xu Guangqi, the elder of the pavilion, openly announced the award of the "Red Banner Army". The emperor was actually very happy. He wanted to promote Huang Han and his son along the way.

It's a pity that Xu Guangqi, an important minister, came forward to complain about Huang Han's grievances. Chongzhen felt a little regretful that there were no civil servants and military generals in the court to second him.

He had to deliberately ask: "Aiqing has been in Yongping for three months. According to rumors, Huang Han and Aiqing are inseparable. On that martial artist?"

Xu Guangqi said very seriously: "Your Majesty, Huang Han is a man of both civil and military skills and has both ability and political integrity. The old minister asked for an order to go to Yongping to relieve the victims, and brought several carts of potatoes and sweet potato seedlings, but the people are ignorant and no one is willing to try planting.

When the veteran was helpless, Huang Han stepped forward. Not only did he successfully promote the two high-yielding crops, but he also took tens of thousands of taels of silver as a deposit and promised to underwrite all the farmers' output. "

Chongzhen praised: "Not bad, not bad, Huang Han's move is remarkable, and he is indeed meritorious."

Xu Guangqi continued: "Seeing that this son is quite capable in doing things, the veteran recommended him in front of Zheng Fantai to lead the resettlement of refugees.

During those days, Huang Han and the old official were among the refugees all day long. The old official witnessed how Huang Han tried every means to get the people to give birth and save themselves. In more than two months, none of the 10,000+ refugees died of hunger. Huang Han contributed a lot. "

Chongzhen said: "Huang Han has indeed contributed to the country, I..."

The emperor was preparing to instruct the cabinet to add officials to Huang Han, but someone intercepted him, and one of them came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, I impeach Huang Han, who is guarding Yongping, for corrupting the law and ignoring human life."

Immediately, several censors came out to impeach the incident. The content was that Huang Han had acted recklessly. He actually arrested the scholar-bureaucrats and ransacked their homes. He and Tian Mu have been swallowed up.

These impeachments were extremely lethal. Although there was no real evidence that Huang Han was corrupt and perverted the law, the censors and officials could hear the wind and play things. Emperor Chongzhen was suddenly blocked by Youyou's mouth.

At this time, Sun Chengzong said: "Your Majesty, Huang Shoubei is so young but bold. It is said that at the beginning of the year, he was only an official of a hundred households. This veteran thinks it is definitely not groundless, please Your Majesty investigate thoroughly."

Xu Guangqi's heart skipped a beat when he heard these impeachments. He has a high IQ, so he figured it out right away.
