I have a cornucopia

Chapter 106: Is this going to be a game of borrowing troops to suppress the bandits in advance?
Yang Feng didn't even ride a horse...

In fact, he can't run long distances as fast on horseback as he can on foot.

The endurance of horses is inherently inferior to that of humans.

The 120-kilometer endurance horse racing championship at the Doha Asian Games took nearly six hours, but it did not run all the time. There were many breaks in the middle, and ice packs had to be used to cool down the horse. In fact, the total time added up to more than eight hours. As for humans, the champions of the 100-kilometer marathon are basically over six hours. The world record for the ultra marathon is 319 in 24 hours. This guy’s goal is actually to run two hours in 24 hours. One hundred miles, the result was slightly less than two kilometers.

Of course, Yang Feng was carrying a heavy load, and there was no road for him to run on, so it was difficult to run to the capital in 24 hours.

Thirty-six hours later.

Beijing.

Huanghuafang.

In the midst of joyful onlookers...

"Let me go. Let me go. I am Sui Anbo. I am Sui Anbo."

Since each branch was led by Yang Feng last time, they all had a certain degree of organization, and in addition to the various weapons that were lost to the people last time, they quickly organized uprising warriors to take charge of the protection of their own branch...

"what!"

This is already the third day of the Capital Incident.

The queen wanted the abbot to take the lead, but the abbot said that last time Yang Feng made trouble, the family lost all their money.

Every one of them shouts every day that they can only eat vegetarian food. Buying canned food is just to improve the food. They don't wear silk and satin, just coarse linen clothes, and they have to wear a few patches, which makes people feel pity at the first sight. After all, what they were shouting about was that Yang Feng had robbed the family of their money, and now it is almost impossible to untie the pot. We are all so poor, so you should stop worrying about our family property.

Of course, everyone knows that they are just acting.

He really has no money.

It’s not anyone else’s turn to grab it!
Why should a rich man from his own village be robbed by those unscrupulous people from the outer city?
Can't you steal it yourself?

Among the crowd, Governor Yang, who had arrived after a long journey, was watching his old friend suffer.

But no one paid.

Now all kinds of bronze wares are being sold in the palace, and the concubines are also crying and taking out jewelry to sell.

"You are the one who is being arrested. Now that the country is facing a crisis, if you have money, you can contribute, and if you are unable, contribute. Brothers are contributing to the country on the battlefield. You nobles have money, so you have to pay. Your Majesty has no money to pay your brothers, so just It's up to you rich people to pay.

The queen had no choice but to take out 5,000 taels of her own money and ask her father to take the lead in donating. However, her father secretly spent 2,000 taels and only gave Chongzhen 3,000 taels. The queen was so angry that she cried in the palace.

"I really don't have any money. I was robbed of two hundred thousand taels by Yang Feng last time. My family has no money for a long time. If you don't believe me, go in and search. You can take away as much as you have. My family has been living on a vegetarian diet for half a year, and we only have to sell it during the New Year. I exchanged some household utensils and bought dozens of kilograms of pork with some meat for a family of hundreds."

Of course these things are valuable in peacetime, but they cannot be sold at this time.

What's more, those rioters and unruly people like to look for women everywhere. This must be stopped. After all, they don't necessarily only look for women from rich families.

A Guan Ning Army soldier who was as big and round as him whipped Sui Anbo on him. The latter let out a heartbreaking scream. At the same time, Gao Dejie led the soldiers into his mansion. Then there was a woman's scream...

Under his order, the Guan Ning Army was responsible for maintaining order in the city, especially protecting the residences of those wealthy and distinguished families. Of course, the latter must have paid for it. Everyone knows this. After all, the Guan Ning Army is the biggest group of robbers. Isn't the reason why you are willing to protect them now because you don't want those unscrupulous people to steal your business?

Their family has been unable to afford meat for the past six months.

However, the capital is not too chaotic at the moment. After all, Ping Xibo's words still work.

But it’s a drop in the bucket!

"What? You gave Yang Feng two hundred thousand? You can give Yang Feng two hundred thousand, but now you refuse to give your Majesty one or two? This is not a loyal minister. This is clearly a traitor. Brothers, there is no need to be polite to traitors. Hang him up and whip him, and stop when he takes out the money. Go in and bring his children and grandchildren, hang him up and whip him together, but don’t disturb the female family members, the general will have to interrogate him himself later!"

They are all things that cannot be used as food, and besides, someone has to buy these things. The main consumers of luxury goods are the rich and powerful. But now these people are so scared that they are poor, that is, they are afraid of being robbed, so they are not like what they used to be in history. He took out the rags at home and even his own daughter to sell on the street. Even if he had money at this time, he still wanted to take a gamble and get the lowest price, but he didn't dare to let people know that he still had money in his hand.

So they have been entrenched in the inner city.

He didn't lie...

Yang Feng's old acquaintance, Sui Amber Chen Changheng, struggled hard.

But if he doesn't pay money, these rebels won't let it go.

Pay money to buy peace!

Goddejie shouted.

"Damn it, if Li Zicheng doesn't come here again, I'm afraid he won't even be able to catch a hair, and he will follow my bad example."

In short, in the past two days, the capital city cannot be said to have truly fallen into chaos. At most, the unruly people and soldiers were running around the streets in the city, looting shops and extorting officials and merchants from other places. In fact, the key lies in Ping Xibo's restraint. Guan Ningjun. However, this temporary chaos was based on His Majesty's promise to double the amount of money given to Guan Ning's army, that is, two hundred taels. However, this amount of money could not be collected. Chongzhen searched all the warehouses and could only collect it. Just two hundred thousand taels. But he promised to give the money within five days. If he didn't give it after five days, the result would definitely be chaos. In short, he was collecting money now. His Majesty the Emperor had summoned nobles including his father-in-law many times to ask the latter to pay more. silver.

Yes, this is called stipend!
I am so smart that I actually solved the problem for His Majesty the Emperor, and he no longer has to ask his concubines to sell jewelry! "

Immediately afterwards, the unlucky Sui Anbo was lifted up and hung in front of his house while struggling and begging.

This is called stipend!

Although paying money does not necessarily buy peace.

Gao Dejie said with a smile.

His screams sounded immediately.

After they broke through the Chongwen Gate, Guo Yunlong quickly opened the Xuanwu Gate with the help of some kind of people, then rushed into the inner city and started looting the shops, under the guise of coming to settle accounts with Wang Chengen. Because Ping Xibo gave a banquet that night and drank too much in excitement, he was not finally woken up until almost dawn. However, after he woke up, he quickly frightened the rebels. After asking that the situation was a misunderstanding, His Majesty the Emperor immediately issued an order to pardon the soldiers. However, the problem was that the soldiers insisted on paying the full amount of money, so there was nothing the Emperor could do.

Then Amber cried and said.

In fact, all the nobles have been doing this for the past six months.

Then there was laughter all around.

Wu Sangui had indeed planned it.

But the possibility of holding the emperor hostage to order the princes is indeed unlikely.

It's not that the Wu family's background is too low. In the final analysis, this kind of thing is all about strength. If you have the strength to overwhelm all opponents, no one cares about your birth level. Everyone will only say that you were born with abnormality and a majestic head when you were a child. But the problem is The Wu family does not have this strength, and their family's rise is nothing more than the destruction of other generals. Wu Xiang was just an ordinary wealthy businessman with military status. He made his fortune by embracing first the Li family and then the ancestral family. It was not until the ancestral family also fell that he finally became the core of the Liao people. It's not that the Wu family's prestige is high, but that there is no one else in the Liaodong family. His family is the one who made it through hard work and pushed all the other families above them to come to my side in the Qing Dynasty. Then it naturally became the only choice. But It is a joke to talk about coercing the emperor to control the princes. Not to mention that the Ming Dynasty did not have the ability to coerce the emperor to control the princes. He just did it because he was really out of his mind. There are a lot of the same generals from all over the world. Who listens to them?
Zuo Liang Yuniao and the others?

Jiang Jianiao and the others?
Even the Yulin generals behind Shanhaiguan General Gao Di would not tolerate them. After all, even if you are a warlord, there are too many at their level.

What's more, the world is already in chaos.

There are not many people who can even speak to the real emperor, let alone an upstart who holds the emperor in power to control the princes. Neither Wu Xiang nor Wu Sangui has such a lack of self-awareness.

and so……

They probably just want to make a fortune.

Before Chongzhen went south, he took advantage of their opportunity to enter the capital and plundered it. It could be said that he plundered the capital's wealth to the maximum extent. Regardless of what happened in the future, the most important thing was to get millions of silver, so he couldn't wait to get started as soon as he came. . As for still acting now, it is actually just to get as much money as possible into their own hands instead of being robbed by those unscrupulous people who are far more numerous than them.

We need to grab it in an orderly manner.

The efficiency of disorderly grabbing is too low, and because of the disadvantage of quantity, there will definitely not be many grabs.

But orderly grabbing is different.

They can take the wealth of the capital's wealthy families into their own hands under the guise of providing salary while controlling order.

But the question is, why didn't they follow Chongzhen south?

Doing so means not preparing to go south.

Although he went south to work as a thug for Chongzhen and fight for him against the Jiangnan family, for the Wu family, once he succeeded, he would at least be a duke. As long as the Ming Dynasty could continue, the prosperity and wealth for generations would be indispensable. As for failure, let's just say it failed. People like them who were killed on the battlefield should not be afraid of this, and their family members behind them would also follow them south. Although the foundation of the Wu family is indeed in the Liaoxi Corridor, it can be said that the Liaoxi Corridor, a bitter cold land, is obviously not as good as the land of plenty in the south of the Yangtze River. As long as they go south, they will be the guns in Chongzhen's hands. Chongzhen will not even know how to give them a piece of land to farm. With their army and the 300,000 Liao people behind them, what Chongzhen wants to do in Nanjing will be easy. Much.

Then why not go?
"The water seems a bit deep here!"

Yang Feng sighed with emotion.

His old friend was still being whipped.

Moreover, several young people were dragged out from inside and were also being hung up.

Inside, you can see a few Guan Ning Army soldiers carrying struggling women. They are not necessarily Sui Anbo’s daughters and granddaughters. There are many concubines in the family like his. The crying for poverty in the past six months is just an act, like him How could a family be squeezed dry just for two hundred thousand taels of silver?

Judging from Li Zicheng's gains, the average income of these noble families is between fifty and one million.

Sui Anbo was the hero of Jingnan, and he had accumulated more than two hundred years of experience.

In fact, not only Wu Sangui, but also the current reaction of officials and gentry is very strange. The chief assistant Li Jiantai ran away that night and was probably in Baoding by this time. Wang Yongji, who had been promoted to governor of Jiliao, and Song Quan, governor of Miyun, also No troops were sent here, but they didn't have many men who could fight. Now Jizhen includes several general soldiers who were separated from Jizhen, and they have some combat effectiveness, that is, Gaodi's 10,000 Shanhaiguan garrison, and there are also some of Tang Tong's men, but in any case, it has been three days, and even the real It's strange that there is no reaction at all. The only person who tried to support the king was Feng Yuanyang, the governor of Tianjin, but he was originally in Tianjin to prepare for Chongzhen to go south, and he could not take any actual action because Tianjin Bingbei Daoyuan Yuzong did not cooperate with him at all.

Anyway...

Yang Feng suddenly turned his head instinctively.

Not far behind, a shocked gaze was looking at him, but then disappeared into the crowd.

Yang Feng turned back calmly, and then took out a small mirror. The guy behind him appeared again, and there was a companion beside him. The two of them continued to look at his back with a hint of fear on their faces, and the companion whispered. They said something, but then they turned around and left in a hurry, looking back from time to time to see Yang Feng's reaction.

Of course, Yang Feng continued to enjoy his old friend being whipped...

"Stop fighting, I'll give you money!"

His old friend finally couldn't hold on any longer and said dyingly.

"You're just a bitch, and you won't be honest if you don't fight!"

Gao Dejie walked out with a beautiful woman struggling and crying.

"Master, save me!"

The beautiful woman screamed.

Then An Bo hung his head as he was dying.

"Uncle Sui An, how about giving this woman to your brother?"

Gao Dejie said.

"The general likes it, so I gave it to him."

Then Amber said weakly.

"Haha, look, these princes are all trash!"

Gao Dejie smiled proudly.

Then he looked at his men.

"Brothers, guard the door for Uncle Sui'an. Don't let those bad guys disturb the house. Uncle Sui'an, it's not hard for you brothers. You gave Yang Feng 200,000, so you have to give 200,000 to the brothers. Tomorrow If I come again, if I don’t have two hundred thousand, then this won’t be a matter of whipping.”

He said.

Then he held the beautiful woman between his arms and left happily.

Yang Feng then turned around and left.

"Procuratorate, this way, Lao He is following them!"

Behind him, Yang Guanguang's servant who stayed in the capital pointed to the direction the two people left and said.

Yang Feng is not alone. In fact, the Shandong Guild Hall and the families of several major Shandong ministers have people who can be transferred to him at any time.

"Immediately send a message to Dezhou. I suspect that Wu Sangui and Jianlu have colluded. Those two are Jianlu. I have seen them in Shenyang. Let the troops in Dezhou be ready. They may really have to go to Beijing this time."

Yang Feng said.

The servant was stunned for a moment, then quickly excused himself and left.

"Damn it, my reaction is so weird no matter what. It looks so awkward. It turns out there is a conspiracy. Are you planning to use troops to suppress the bandits in advance?"

Yang Feng said.

(Happy Lantern Festival, school is about to start, and I have to continue the miserable life of accompanying you to school.)
