Start a Ming Dynasty plane

The two of you are the same as me, and the dissatisfaction with Chongzhen has already been revealed in the words, or they already feel that Lantian is strong enough. The teeth are bared, showing Chongzhen who is the boss of Daming.

This kind of thinking has to be said to be very deceptive. Now many people in Lantian do not support Lantian to continue to pay taxes to Daming. Although this tax is not a big deal for Lantian now, that little money, Lan Tian can squeeze out casually.

But no matter how little the money was, the people and officials in Lantian felt that it should not be given to Da Ming. They hadn't absorbed even the slightest bit of nourishment from him, so they didn't want to give back to Da Ming anymore.

Li Chaosheng listened to Guo Bao and Gu Zi's words and said with a smile: "Okay, there is no room for negotiation on this matter, the money still has to be given to Chongzhen, and the left and right are not a big sum of money, so it won't happen."

"Why the magistrate?"

Gu Zi asked puzzledly.

Li Chaosheng laughed and said, "For righteousness."

After hearing this, Guzi still wanted to say something, but Guo Bao stopped Guzi. He knew that Li Chaosheng was right. For the sake of righteousness, the tax burden should not be reduced to Chongzhen. Li Chaosheng had been the county magistrate of Chongzhen for several years. From a moral point of view, Li Chaosheng should be regarded as a courtier of Ming Dynasty, and if Li Chaosheng wants to get this world, he must take it from Lao Zhu's family.

In the eyes of Daming people, isn't this the one who betrayed the Lord stabbed the Lord in the back?He will also be dubbed a thief. Although no one dares to say clearly when he ascends the throne in the future, after his death, how will the history books record it, and how will the latecomers comment on Lantian winning the country?

It's like why Cao Mengde was always unwilling to usurp the Han and stand on his own. A large part of it was because Cao Cao had been an official of the emperor of the Han family. Runan Yuan Shu, who is overconfident, is the same.

Cao Cao can bear any infamy, but he is unwilling to bear the reputation of a traitor, so he cannot usurp the throne, nor is he willing to usurp the throne, leaving his innocent son to usurp the throne.

Therefore, Cao Pi abolished the Han Dynasty and became the emperor, and people in the world seldom scolded him on this point.

Therefore, a person who is inspired to be an emperor must do things cleanly. For example, Zhao Da and Zhao Kuangyin bullied other orphans and widowed mothers. This has been ridiculed many times by later generations.

Li Chaosheng was an official in Chongzhen, so Li Chaosheng didn't want to publicly rebut the judgment, otherwise, in the future history books, Li Chaosheng's evaluation will definitely drop to a lower level, life will be stained, and countless people will use this stain to attack Li Chaosheng, Even the descendants of Li Chaosheng.

It's like Li Shimin, who killed his brother and murdered his brother. In the end, no matter how many people praised the coming of the Great Tang Dynasty, there will always be a small group of people behind their backs who will bring up this dark history of Li Shimin, proving to the world that Li Shimin is an emperor with bad character.

So Li Chaosheng can't let people pick out his faults, and give Chongzhen the tax that should be paid for a penny. Li Chaosheng doesn't even take the throne of Chongzhen. Fame is going to be given to this group of rogues who started from the green forest.

This is what Li Chaosheng wants to see, and it is also the reason why Li Chaosheng insists on paying taxes to the court.

Of course, this is the impression Li Chaosheng gave to the world. If the court really didn't know what was good and what was wrong, and touched Lantian's core interests, it would definitely be dealt the cruelest blow by Lantian.

After all, Li Chaosheng just wanted to spend money to raise his reputation, not to really be Daming's little daughter-in-law and submit to everything.

The effect Li Chaosheng wanted was that he would take it tomorrow, but no one said that he won the country improperly, at least he couldn't let people stand behind him, point at his nose and call him a traitor to the country.

"County Honor, County Honor."

Li Chaosheng was talking to Guo Bao and Guzi, when he saw Zuo Sansi, the Secretary and Superintendent, hurried over and said, "Master, it's a big deal, a big deal."

"Big thing, what's the matter?"

Li Chaosheng looked at Zuo Sansi in surprise, Zuo Sansi took a report at this time: "Just got a report, Zhang Xianzhong turned against him again."

"Oh?!"

Li Chaosheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and Zhang Xianzhong rebelled again. This should be Zhang Xianzhong's last rebellion, and it also sounded the clarion call for the subjugation of the Ming Dynasty.

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng calmed down a bit, sat back in his seat and stretched out his hand, "Information."

Zuo Sansi immediately handed over the information to Li Chaosheng.

Li Chaosheng unfolded the information and looked at it: "On March 13th, 78th year of Chongzhen, the earth dragon turned over, and Hubei recruited disasters. Zhang Xianzhong took the opportunity to rebel and led his trusted generals. His righteous sons and grandchildren were expected. Ai Nengqi took advantage of the night to capture Gu County in Hubei, killing Ruan Zhixi, the county magistrate, opened a warehouse to release grain, took in the refugees, strengthened his momentum, and led the crowd to capture [-] wealthy households in the city, and distributed all the money he got to the accompanying bandits. , resounding throughout the city."

"It was night, and military advisor Xu Yixian came to persuade Zhang Xianzhong not to stay in the city for a long time. Word of the rebellion would spread quickly. Be careful of Xiong Wencan, the supervisor of Huguang."

But Zhang Xianzhong didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "Although we were ordered to be safe in Gu County, we have been waiting for this day. Now that the natural disaster is coming, the people in Hubei are horrific. It is time for me to take advantage of the momentum. The military commander is relieved. Tonight and Rest in the city for one night, and we will set off tomorrow, and I have already contacted Luo Rucai, when the time comes, our two armies will form one army, and I am afraid that he will be Xiong Wencan.

So that night, Zhang Xianzhong led people to rest in Gu County, and Zhang Xianzhong was such a lustful person that he did not touch any woman in Gu County that night. Even the wife of the county magistrate was rewarded to Ai Nengqi, who worked hard in the siege of the city. Already determined.

The next day, Zhang Xianzhong led more than ten thousand soldiers and horses to leave Gu County. Before leaving, he even posted a notice on the city wall. , who picked up, how detailed and detailed the content should be.

This time, even if a big hole was completely pierced in Hubei's officialdom, all the officials panicked. This bastard Zhang Xianzhong is a wolf. He wrote down all the things he did. This is preparation Do we die together?
"Hehe, Zhang Xianzhong's rascal is a bit interesting."

Li Chaosheng couldn't help laughing when he saw this, Zhang Xianzhong's tricks were really dirty, he almost sold half of the officialdom in Hubei at once.

At this moment, Zuo Sansi saw that Li Chaosheng had seen this page, so he smiled and said, "This piece of Xianzhong is really a pissed off girl all these years, she was blackmailed by these officials in Hubei, so before leaving, I couldn't help venting Just a moment, understandable."

Li Chaosheng also said with a smile: "Yes, before Sun Chuanting was in Hubei, Zhang Xianzhong knew it was a hard nail, so if he didn't dare to touch it, he would feel wronged himself, but he didn't expect that Zhang Xianzhong would lose control of his nature when Xiong Wencan came."

Zuo Sansi said: "It may be Xiong Wencan, Mr. Xiong is too greedy. In the notice posted by Zhang Xianzhong, Mr. Xiong Wencan's extortion money is ranked No. 2, which is a full 20 taels of silver. I have to say it is a lion." Open your mouth wide."

"No.2? Who is No.1? Who is worse than this Xiong Wencan?"

Zuo Sansi laughed and said, "It's the magistrate."

"Fart, when did I blackmail him?"

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng patted the table and stood up. Isn't this just blatant slander?

After hearing this, Zuo Sansi said: "Master Zhang, in fact, what Zhang Xianzhong said is not reasonable at all. Although we didn't explicitly blackmail him, we did business with him, and the obsolete military equipment we sold was not worth it. They are all very expensive, and the gunpowder is much higher than the normal market price in Lantian, and the money earned from Zhang Xianzhong in these years is probably no less than 50 taels."

"Is there so much?"

Li Chaosheng looked at Zuo Sansi with some surprise, Zuo Sansi said: "It's just more and less, if you don't believe me, you can ask Gu Zi."

After hearing this, Gu Zi said, "Didn't the military ask you to approve a note some time ago, and the money on it was basically earned from Zhang Xianzhong."

Li Chaosheng heard this and said: "Oh, that's quite a lot, but I'm an aboveboard business, why should I put shit on my head, go, send someone out to make an announcement, saying that Zhang Xianzhong is pure Talk nonsense, dirty people are innocent, and tell Zhang Xianzhong that if he dares to talk nonsense again, be careful that I send troops out of the Tongqian Pass, and when the time comes, I will kill him if there is no need for the imperial court to send an army."

After hearing this, Zuo thought twice: "Xianzun, you will frighten him like this."

Li Chaosheng said: "Hmph, let him stain my innocence, how can my majestic Lantian County Venerable sell things to thieves? It's really nonsense, it will affect the reputation of this County Venerable."

"Yes Yes."

After hearing this, Zuo Sansi nodded repeatedly, and then said with a smile: "Master Xian, it should be Xiong Wencan and Xiong Shangshu who are more anxious than you now."

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng smiled and said: "Hehe, what you said is true. This man has great ambitions and talents, and he likes to brag. Now that he has made such a big mess, if Xiong Wencan can't remedy it in time, our Emperor Chongzhen will not spare him."

After hearing this, Zuo San thought: "It's fate. If Sun Chuanting hadn't been transferred to Xuanda to fill Lu Xiangsheng's hole, Zhang Xianzhong really wouldn't have dared to revolt before Li Zicheng. Now that Sun Chuanting has been transferred, he got cowhide. Your Majesty Xiong Wencan deserves the decline of the Ming Dynasty."

Guo Bao laughed and said nothing when he heard this, and Gu Zi said, "I know this Xiong Wencan, but when did he become a braggart?"

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng looked at Zuo Sansi and said, "Come on, tell us brother Guzi a good word."

Zuo Sansi smiled and said: "This Xiong Wencan, what should I say? It's a bit of shit luck. In the second year of Chongzhen, Xiong Wencan was appointed as the chief envoy of Fujian. In this year, our great pirate Zheng Zhilong was tired of his pirate career and wanted to The officials of the other court were Dangdang, so they wanted to surrender to the court, and Xiong Wencan picked up such a big deal when he first took office, and he was in the limelight for a while, and some people said that his military exploits are world-class."

"Then he believed it himself, and felt that he was great. He was terrific about countering rebellion and surrendering, and the court did not hesitate to reward such a capable minister, so he was directly named the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi."

"Originally, he sat very well in the position of governor of these two provinces, but it is easy to get carried away when one is proud. Not long ago, Lu Xiangsheng was beheaded, and there was a vacancy for governor. Sun Chuanting of Hubei was transferred to Xuanda to fill Lu Xiangsheng's vacancy. This Hubei will be empty."

"But Hubei still has Zhang Xianzhong, a restless leader, so the imperial court decided to send someone to take care of the gap in Hubei. Chongzhen then proposed a few people, such as Liu Zeqing from Shandong, and He Renlong from Shanxi, but they all felt that they lacked weight. At this moment, someone brought up Xiong Wencan, and told about how Xiong Wencan recruited the great pirate Zheng Zhilong back then."

"When the emperor heard this, he thought this was a talent, and it couldn't be buried. However, this matter has already happened in the second year of Chongzhen. After ten years, Lian Po is old, can he still have a living?"

"Is Xiong Wencan old, can he still fight? So Chongzhen ordered his confidant eunuch to go to Guangxi to collect medicine, and let Xiong Wencan know about it, so Xiong Wencan set up a grand banquet in Quanzhou to entertain Chongzhen's confidant Eunuch, this eunuch just exchanged cups with Xiong Wencan, and after drinking for three rounds, the eunuch intentionally pointed out that Zhang Xianzhong from Hubei is His Majesty's confidant's serious trouble."

"Xiong Wencan also drank some wine at the time, and he patted his chest and said, "Zhang Xianzhong is nothing. If I guard Hubei, he, Zhang Xianzhong, will obediently bow his head and obey his ears, and will always be an obedient minister of Ming Dynasty."

"After hearing this, the eunuch tentatively asked: What if Zhang Xianzhong rebelled?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. What is Zhang Xianzhong? How is he compared to Fujian Zheng Zhilong? Ten years ago, I could easily recruit Zheng Zhilong, but now I can't control Zhang Xianzhong. Don't worry, if I serve as Governor of Huguang, Your Majesty will be able to rest easy. I, Xiong Wencan, said this!"

"After hearing Xiong Wencan's words, the eunuch jumped up excitedly at that time, grabbed Xiong Wencan's hand and said: "Master Xiong, you are indeed the pillar of the country. To tell you the truth, Your Majesty just asked me to come because of this headache." Liangguang is looking for your lord, let's take a look at your lord, saw you today, Lord Xiong really has a plan, this is the great fortune of the country, don't say anything, the miscellaneous family will leave now, go back and report to His Majesty, with Lord Xiong here, Zhang Xianzhong is nothing to worry about! "

"Um?!!!"

Xiong Wencan was stupid at the time, I drank some wine and bragged, how could I invite such a big deal for myself, Zhang Xianzhong is a murderer, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, who committed suicide by himself, quit his fat job, he is crazy and insists on doing this governor of Huguang , isn't this an idiot?

"Eunuch, listen to me, I..."

"Master Xiong, don't say anything, the pillar of the country, you are the person His Majesty is looking for, I will go back and report to Your Majesty, the important task of the governor of Huguang belongs to you, it is you, the miscellaneous family resigns, the pillar of the country, What a pillar of the country..."

"Hey, father-in-law... hey~"

Xiong Wencan looked at the back of the eunuch going away, wanted to cry but had no tears, wishing to give himself two big mouths.
