Chapter 125

Did Zhu Zhanhe really withdraw from the front line as he himself said?
Yes, not quite.

Indeed, he didn't talk nonsense, he really quit because of what he said, but it was only part of it.

The lineage of the King of Han was originally the enemy of civil servants, and this situation became more serious after Zhu Zhanhe appeared repeatedly. If he appeared now, the civil servants would definitely not do it.

Secondly, I have said that I will go and do it. If I catch one thing and play with my life, it will definitely make the old man think, so it has to be relaxed.

The matter is mostly settled, let Mu Sheng settle the matter.

This bottom is not so easy to collect, but it is more than half easier than at the beginning, and this level is the best.

Mu Sheng didn't have Zhu Zhanhe's determination, so he would definitely not be able to accept this. The old man would still have to find Zhu Zhanhe. In this way, Zhu Zhanhe had done his part to make the old man feel better, and he could Let Mu Sheng feel grateful.

Among them, the second point is the most important. After all, we are in Yunnan, and we may not be able to deal with the Mu family, so we will basically avoid talking about everything in the future.

But apart from the Mu family, there is another reason why Zhu Zhanhe retreated.

I have been playing in Cochin for so long, and it will be September soon, and there is a person who is coming back.

The eunuch of the inner palace, the director of the Municipal Shipping Department, and the commander of the Ocean Treasure Fleet: Zheng He.

When Zheng He came back, he would definitely have to go through the Strait of Malacca, and maybe he would see the still burning Cochin, and maybe he would record this matter by then.

Every time Zheng He sailed to the West, he had to go through the Strait of Malacca, so he would often pass by the Cochin area, and Zhu Zhanhe didn't want to be targeted by him.

Besides, Zhu Zhanhe planted a nail in Shibosi at the beginning, and it has not been pulled out until now. Zhu Zhanhe does not want to fail.

Although, the old man may have discovered it from the very beginning, but there are some things that no one mentions and someone mentions are two different things.

-

Ying Tianfu, Ministry of Households.

Xia Yuanji was already busy flying.

Originally, everything was fine this year, but Zhu Zhanhe ransacked the homes of a large number of officials in Yangzhou last year. Although the dirty money is nothing to the entire Ming Dynasty, there are still businessmen.

At any time, businessmen are the richest existences in addition to the imperial court, and there are even richer than the imperial court, so Zhu Zhanhe's income from the house raids gave the Ministry of Household a lot of blood.

At that time, Xia Yuanji was really proud of the spring breeze, and he really did not panic when he had money in his hands. In addition, the cattle, sheep and horses seized during the Northern Expedition were also being sold in an orderly manner. Had a good day.

Natsuhara Yoshi during that time can really only be described in one sentence forever: When did the household department fight such a rich battle?
However, with Zhu Zhanhe gone, Xia Yuanji's good days are gone.

This summer, the matter of raising the cattle on behalf of him came to an end, because Zhu Zhanhe forced himself out, so not many officials and nobles dared to touch the cattle.

There must be, but not many. For Jin Yiwei, it is a trivial matter to deal with.

But it was precisely because of this that the household department spent a large amount of money. Although the money should have been paid in the first place, for Xia Yuanji, a miser, it hurts every time the household department gave out a penny.

He even hoped that those corrupt officials would be more courageous and blackmail all the farm cattle, and then another batch would be copied, and a large sum of money would be credited to the household department.

Of course, he was just thinking about it, Xia Yuanji still had a confidant, and for him, Daming was getting better and better, so he was getting more and more relaxed.

Besides, besides Zhu Zhanhe, who else would dare to do this?
If he really did this, Ji Gang would be the only one left, and after the matter was over, Zhu Di would sneak out and chop Ji Gang up to vent everyone's anger.

There is precedent for this.

Mao Xiang, the first commander of Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty, was a businessman in the Hongwu Dynasty. His main achievement was to preside over and launch the "Hu Weiyong Case", one of the four major cases in the early Ming Dynasty. centralized imperial rule.

For the Zhu family, Mao Xiang has made outstanding contributions.

Then, Mao Xiang was dragged out and slaughtered, which calmed some dissatisfaction among the ruling and opposition parties.

The second commander of Jinyiwei was named Jiang Yu (huàn). His main achievement was to preside over and launch the "Lanyu Case", which was also one of the four major cases in the early Ming Dynasty. They have cleared the obstacles, and they are equally outstanding.

Then, Jiang Yu was also killed, and was executed secretly. As for the reason?I don't know!

Anyway, he must have died, and it was clear that the resentment in the army had calmed down a lot.

The third commander of Jin Yiwei is now Ji Gang. His main achievement in history was to kill Jianwen's former officials, clearing many obstacles for Zhu Di's ascension to the throne.

In the end, Ji Gang was also slaughtered on the grounds that he intended to treason, and was reported by the eunuch next to Zhu Di.

So, it seems that the commanders of Jinyiwei in the past did not end well, but in fact it has nothing to do with people, the main position is the commander of Jinyiwei.

As long as it is an individual, it will recoil against this position.

No, there is a personal exception, that is, Ji Gang's successor, Sai Hazhi, Daming's fourth Jinyiwei commander.

This person was promoted through normal supplementary promotion after Ji Gang's death. This person did not have any outstanding achievements. He was sober in the world and had no pursuit other than saving his life.

For this person, Zhu Zhanhe gave a bad review!
A Jinyiwei commander who can enjoy his old age is not a good commander.

In any case, there were some twists and turns in the raising of cattle, but it ended smoothly. Regardless of whether the current Jinyiwei commander is Ji Gang or the future Sai Hazhi, Jinyiwei will not be dispatched.

For Xia Yuanji, those are not important, what is important is that the household department has given out a large sum of money, no...

Counting that accident, it should be two sums of money!
Needless to say, Oala crossed the border, and Zhu Di sent 20 troops to the Northern Expedition.

War has always been a huge banknote shredder, oh no, in this era, it should be a copper coin and gold and silver shredder. The weapons and equipment, war horses, grain and transportation involved in a war are all linked to money.

In addition, this year's incident of Japanese pirates harassing the border has also caused the household department to bleed a lot.

After all, the common people pay their taxes to let the imperial court protect them. Now that they are being burned, killed and looted by Japanese pirates, the imperial court will naturally use money to help them. Otherwise, who would obey your rule?
"Xia Shangshu..."

Xia Yuanji was annoyed when an official from the household department came over.

"Just now His Majesty sent someone to send an oral order, saying that the Ocean Treasure Fleet has arrived in Liujiagang, Taicang, and will enter Beijing soon."

"According to the report of the commander of the Ocean Treasure Fleet, the Ocean Treasure Fleet has passed through more than [-] countries, and many countries have sent envoys to pay tribute. Your Majesty asked the Ministry of Households to prepare."

Xia Yuanji only felt his eyes go dark when he heard the words.
