Win the Ding 1617

"... On that day, the profiteers in the city first threatened the good people by striking the market, and then incited the good people with treacherous people to plunder everywhere in the city, disturbing the capital, and some gangsters went out of the city. He ran towards Zijin Mountain, intending to harass the mausoleum, but was lucky to be blocked by Uncle Ning Yuan, but failed. However, more than a thousand shops were looted in the city, thousands of houses were destroyed, and countless property losses were lost. Hundreds of women were humiliated. Ministers and other guards were responsible for staying. In order to keep the mausoleum intact, the city was closed and the city was closed. With the help of more than ten thousand righteous people, all the more than a thousand rebels were captured and taken to the riverside to show the public. .”

"The reason for this incident was that the merchants in the city heard that Uncle Ningyuan and Uncle Chengyi would work together to prevent the livelihood of merchants and people. At the beginning, the scholars of Gongyuan and merchants from all over the city went to the yamen of various ministries in Liudu. Petition, I implore the second lord to be sympathetic to the difficulties of the people's livelihood. Unexpectedly, the young people in the city took the opportunity to cause chaos, causing the good businessmen to suffer from this fish! In the past, the five righteous men in Suzhou resisted the eunuchs and traitors, and were not afraid of violence. Unexpectedly, there are people in this dynasty who risk the world What a disgrace, the massacre of businessmen and sons! A man who understands that death and life are important, and that the people are more important than the community. Today, the Holy Son of Heaven is in power, and under the bright and bright world, he actually did such things that angered people and oppressed scholars and common people. Where is the stylus of ancient history?"

Two copies of the inscription report on the process of the Nanjing turmoil were also placed on Chongzhen's desk in this way.

One was led by Wei Guogong, and all the nobles in Nanjing, including Shou Han, jointly signed the performance, and pointed the culprits of the Nanjing turmoil to those merchants.

The most terrible thing is that these people have reached the point where they dare to harass the mausoleum.Your Majesty, you can do it yourself, these guys are going to move your ancestral grave, if we hadn't acted decisively, I'm afraid that Xiaoling Guard would be burned to nothing just like Fengyang!

However, the memorials issued by the six yamen in Nanjing were just the opposite, pointing the finger of the turmoil directly at the Jianghai joint defense agreement signed by Liu Kongzhao and Li Shouhan, and believed that it was the source of the chaos.Moreover, Shou Han unfortunately became the executioner who suppressed the Ming Dynasty student movement for the people.

but.It's the same as the black-eyed chicken who pinches each other in these two aspects.Chongzhen could only make peace with it, he couldn't afford to offend these two groups, or he was optimistic about such a result.

then.A denunciation decree with fifty boards each.It was sent from the capital.

The eunuch delivering the decree was none other than Wu Liangfu, who had already been overfed by the Southern Guangdong Army.

When Wu Liangfu's ship was moored at Xiaguan Wharf.It made him a little unbelievable that this city had suffered a disaster of looting by mobs not long ago.

There are still boats coming and going on the river, and the mighty vehicles are constantly entering the city.It is full of grain and rice, as well as groceries such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.The whole city has returned to calm.The street was swept clean, even the garbage that had accumulated for many years was swept away, and the blood stains on the ground were also washed clean with clean water.The street market has returned to peace, and there are soldiers and civilians queuing up to buy food and goods with smiles on their faces. Everyone behaves well and dare not fight or grab.Naturally, it was because of the patrol team not far away holding the shoot-to-kill order.

If it weren't for the teams of patrolling soldiers and the Yancao gangs on the street, it would feel as if this place is in a peaceful and prosperous world, and the indiscriminate disaster a few days ago would have been a nightmare.

"The emperor actually issued an order to reprimand us?"

Sincerity uncle Liu Kongzhao does not know how to advance and retreat like his ancestor Liu Bowen, and knows how to protect himself wisely. His temper is no different from that group of martial arts noble children.

"Eunuch Wu! You can ask anyone in Nanjing at random. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that the group of bastards who caused the trouble are mostly merchants and slaves from various places, as well as a large number of local ruffians in the city. They gathered in groups of three or four, or shouted loudly, or held a large number of anonymous posters and posted them on roads in various places in the city.

In addition to agitating a large number of merchants to strike the market, countless merchants went to various government offices to petition.Hundreds of students gathered in the Gongyuan and other places to denounce the disaster of the warriors. "

"That's right! They went on strike in front of the yamen of the ministry to petition and cry. The venue in front of the yamen is very comfortable. There are many tables and chairs, hot tea and snacks, and crab shell yellow steamed buns, large rows of noodles, and duck blood vermicelli soup for them to enjoy freely. There are also opera troupes in the Yuanmen, and there are operas from all over Nanzhili, so that this group of birdmen can have the energy and energy to make trouble in Liudu!"

Hearing that Wu Liangfu had finished reading the imperial decree, the officials from the six ministries in Nanjing, the leaders of the Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and other yamen left happily, and gathered together to celebrate their victory.

Wei Guogong, as the leader of the honorable group, summoned all the lords and lords in Nanjing to invite Wu Liangfu, the imperial envoy.

At the banquet, Liu Kongzhao slammed the wine glass on the table indignantly, and the spirits in it splashed a few hops, which were quickly absorbed by the tablecloth on the table.

In the imperial decree, Bo Chengyi Liu Kongzhao was strongly reprimanded, saying that he signed the Jianghai joint defense without authorization, and did not report it to the cabinet, which caused an uproar in the public opinion, and made the merchants mistakenly think that the imperial court was going to ban the sea again, and charged a huge amount of merchants. Taxation is the cause of the Nanjing Rebellion.

"This person should be thinking about the country's difficult affairs. Although the source is still good, it will be counterproductive to act too hastily. In the future, you must be careful and careful!"

Compared with the stern reprimand of Bo Chengyi Liu Kongzhao, Li Shouhan was hardly mentioned in the imperial decree, but only lightly said that Uncle Ning Yuan guarded the mausoleum, and I was very relieved.

Wu Liangfu saw several guests with a bit of anger on their brows. The wine was naturally tasteless, and he was about to find an excuse to go back to the posthouse to rest, but he didn't want things to turn around.

Shou Han made an excuse to get up and change clothes, but ordered someone to quietly call Liu Kongzhao out.

"Uncle Ning Yuan, what's the point of calling us out? We in Nanjing appreciate your kindness! It's a pity that we have no luck with Donglin's gang of thieves. Alas! If the emperor didn't deal with it back then Eunuch Wei will be fine!"

"Discuss with Wei Guogong, and tomorrow I will order people to post bulletins in various parts of the city, announcing the cancellation of the Jianghai joint defense." Shou Han's face was frosty.

"Oh! That's the only way to go!"

"Remember, you must be modest and courteous in your wording. Let me mention it again. The sea is dangerous. Originally, you, Caojiang Yamen, came up with this method for everyone to do business safely. Now there are Japanese pirates, Korean pirates, and Western pirates on the sea. Pirates, and red-haired barbarians, I hope everyone should be more careful when going out to sea."

"How do you say this?" Liu Kongzhao's mind was full of resentment and alcohol, and he didn't turn the corner for a while!

"You! I'm really sorry for your ancestors!"

Xu Hongji, Duke of the State of Wei who accompanied him, knocked on Liu Kongzhao's head. "We have canceled the joint defense of Jianghai here. Tell them there are pirates in the sea, don't blame me for anything after you go out!"

"That's right! What Duke Wei said makes sense. After going out, there was a storm and danger. There was something wrong. It's just like what they said when they opened a pawnshop. 'Natural disasters, nothing to do with the code'!"

Shou Han's eyes were full of grin.

The three guys looked at each other and smiled, and a burst of intimate laughter sounded.

The host and guest of this banquet broke up happily.

the next day.In the city of Nanjing, two notices with the same content but very different words were posted in densely populated places. One was issued in the name of Nanjing’s garrison yamen and admiral Caojiang’s yamen. The ones negotiated at the toilet door.

And the other one is written by the adults staying in the yamen in Nanjing, and the words are neatly opposed to each other. The general idea is to appease the people in Nanjing. Don't panic. They will levy commercial taxes and do things that will harm the country and the people and compete for profits with the people.

In the words, he pretended to be a hero who pleaded for the people, put himself on the commanding heights of morality, and acted as the spokesperson of morality.

These two notices were praised by all the people in Nanjing city. It is true that the imperial court was wise and put an end to those actions that harmed the people. Scholars everywhere stood proudly in front of the notices, reading and explaining the notices to passers-by. The meaning of the words and sentences on it, with a look of pride.

And in a courtyard of Wei Guogong’s house where Shou Han temporarily stayed, the soldiers were busy coming in and out, packing up, carefully putting away important documents, letters, etc., and putting them in a tightly sealed and safe place. In a moisture-proof cage.

"Second Young Master, everything is almost packed, can we start shipping?"

Two personal army leaders went to Li Huabao to ask for instructions.

In Chongzhen's imperial decree, in addition to reprimanding the civil and military officials in Nanjing, in order to commend Li Shouhan's contribution to guarding the mausoleum, Hua Bao was specially promoted to another rank, and now he is also the rank of commander of the guard.

"First load the car, prepare to board the ship at Xiaguan Wharf, and then go directly to Shanghai County. Sister's big ship has agreed to wait for us there."

Outside Shou Han's room, there are still seven or eight men from the Miao family, Jingpo, Siam and other places guarding there.

These people have nothing to do with the inland officials, and they have become the pride of the entire village because they were selected to serve as guards next to the guards. Their eyes are even staring at any position where someone can pass by.

"The servants are on business with the uncle."

Inside the house, Wu Liangfu presented an inventory with both hands, and placed it respectfully in front of Shou Han.

This is the first sixty volumes of the "Yongle Dadian" stolen from the palace by Wu Liangfu, which is the details of the catalog.With this thing, Shou Han can make his intelligence personnel cooperate with Wu Liangfu and others in Beijing and Nanjing, or transcribe, or directly remove the entire Yongle Canon.

"The servants have already discussed with the eunuch in charge of Nanjing in private. He also admires the uncle's generosity and righteousness. The servants said that no matter what, they must fulfill the wish of the uncle. Let Yongle's hard work bear fruit in Nanzhong. Popularize the enlightenment of saints in that barren land, and show off the majesty of my celestial dynasty."

For Wu Liangfu's expression of affection, Shou Han naturally had to smile generously, and ordered someone to carry a small cage from the outside, "Open it!"

The lid of the box was opened, and the colorful jewels and jade inside immediately raised Wu Liangfu's loyalty to Shou Han to a new level.

Two little hands almost appeared in Wu Liangfu's eyes, and he hugged the cage and held it in his arms without letting go.But Wu Liangfu still has the scheming and means to be able to make his current name in the deep palace. He knows when to give up and when to use it.

"Thank you uncle for the reward. The slaves will definitely convey the deep kindness and friendship that the uncle has shown to the slaves to the slaves everywhere!"

What Wu Liangfu meant was very clear, I accept this thing.But it was accepted for the guarding eunuchs in the two capitals of the north and the south, and it was for you, Uncle Ning Yuan, to do business.

"Uncle, if there is anything that needs the service of servants from all over the place, just order it down. Don't dare to say anything else. In this land in the south of the Yangtze River, from Liudu to Suzhou, Hangzhou, Jingdezhen, etc., the servants still have some means." There were small flames in Wu Liangfu's eyes.

He knew that Shou Han and the nobles in Nanjing had stumbled in this turmoil in Nanjing. Although rich businessmen everywhere also suffered heavy losses, Shou Han's decree could no longer be implemented.This is his greatest loss.

With this Uncle Ning Yuan's decisive method of killing and cutting.He will definitely not let it go, I am afraid that there will be more means of revenge in the future, and in the place of wealth in the south of the Yangtze River, it is also a wealth center of the imperial court.It is impossible for him to mobilize the army to loot the city.It is necessary to use some means.And these means.I'm afraid it's the kind that eunuchs like to hear!If I can work with him, or combine his needs with the abilities of the eunuchs, I'm afraid I will become the leader of the eunuch group!

"This?" Shou Han was momentarily at a loss for words.He had some things to do, but he couldn't find the right words to deal with them.

"The weather in my Nanzhong has been good for the past few years, and there is so much grain, rice and oil. I plan to transport these grains, oil, salt and other things to the south of the Yangtze River to sell them on a large scale. I am going to borrow money from my father-in-law."

Li Peiting, who was drinking tea at the side, said a word without raising his head.

"Afterwards, I will use the money I got from selling grain and rice to buy some local products in various places in Nanzhili, and I will have to work for my friends everywhere."

Li Peiting gracefully fiddled with the Longjing tea produced in Meijiawu with the lid of the teacup in his hand, and Li Peiting focused his eyes on the chai kiln teacup, which is a treasure in China.

Selling Nanzhong's agricultural products such as grain, oil and salt to the hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River through the Yangtze River and canals is a coping strategy agreed upon by Shouhan and his staff after the Nanjing turmoil.

"Continue to use the pipe method. While importing grain, we are buying silk tea from the south of the Yangtze River on a large scale. I don't want silk and satin! Let them grow tea and mulberry trees in large quantities. When the time is right, I suddenly tie up the grain pockets. Let them Holding this pile of hungry, cold, and unclothed things to cry!"

For this reason, Shouhan specially called the leader of Sima Gang and Tian Gang leader, and asked them kindly, there is a matter for them to do, I don't know if it is enough to help everyone?

In the past few days, the gang members of the Yancao and Yancao gangs are basically the same as the Chinese New Year, holding the reward money sent by the Southern Guangdong Army in their hands, and the teahouses, restaurants, and casinos and brothels are generous.Even if there are wives and children in the family, it is necessary to cut a few pieces of clothing for each of the wives and children, add some jewelry to the wife, and make the wife smile when they go home.

And the incense masters, rudder masters, hall masters at all levels, and the leaders of the various docks gathered together, listening to the reward from the two masters, Uncle Ning Yuan, and the three-year exclusive operation of refined salt in Yinggehai Salt Field with an almost crazy mood. When Quan told the story, the sound of cheers shook the roof tiles.

Even the largest salt merchant in Yangzhou has never completely controlled all the production results of any salt farm.

Immediately, the leaders of various docks began to fight like black-eyed chickens. There was no way, what is salt?That is what everyone wants to eat, and it can be exchanged for hard currency at any time!It took a lot of effort to settle the interior, and it was decided that the head of the Sima Gang would lead a team and half of the leaders of the two gangs to take the big boat of the Southern Guangdong Army to go south to Qiongzhou Mansion to see the output of the saltworks in person before making a decision.

Unexpectedly, as soon as one matter was calmed down, another matter came to Uncle Ning Yuan.I remember that last time Uncle Ning Yuan greeted everyone to do business in Nanjing with such an accent.

"The grain harvest in Benbo's jurisdiction has been bumper year after year. It can be said that the warehouses are well stocked. I plan to sell one or two in various places in Nanzhili and along the canal. Are you two interested?"

Chief Tian almost jumped up, "Yes! Of course!"

What does Cao Gang do?What they do is the business of dealing with food.The Cao Gang and the Qing Gang derived from it, to a large extent, belong to the mutual aid organization of boatmen who transport grain on the canal, just like the American Truck Drivers Union.Over time, there are a large number of ships and warehouses, and they control the large and small piers along the canal.

In this year when even Susong, Taihang, Jiahu can suffer from famine, if they have food in their hands, they will have countless money, not to mention the sales of refined salt that they promised earlier?

At present, the two leaders of the Yancao Gang say that they will take care of this matter for the Shou Han every day.

Now, Shou Han has thrown this matter out as a tempting pie.

Relying on the Jianghu forces of the Yancao gang alone, I'm afraid they can't compete with the wealthy, powerful and well-connected Jiangnan officials and gentry.However, what will happen if the forces of the rivers and lakes and the guarding eunuchs from all over the country are added?At least the officials and gentry should be apprehensive.

Sure enough, when Li Peiting revealed that he planned to order the Yancao gang to come forward to sell grain in various places in the south of the Yangtze River, the guarding eunuchs and eunuchs in various places did not have to do anything, just come out and say something when there is something to do There is a generous income every year, and it is okay to ask for food, gold, silver and jewelry.

"Well, I don't know how much the slaves can share?" With a huge benefit in front of him, Wu Liangfu's mind was buzzing, and his face was flushed red from the blood flowing rapidly in his veins.

"My japonica rice is shipped to Shanghai, and the price is five renminbi per stone. My father-in-law can discuss it with his companions, friends, or a few senior companions in the palace, and come up with a charter. It is based on this Is the price worth five bucks, or is it set by yourself according to the selling price of rice shops in various places?"

Li Peiting's expression is exactly like the strange uncle who lured the little girl to the rooftop to watch the goldfish.

However, Wu Liangfu didn't care about that many, he just thought about how many state capitals in Nanzhili, which one is not densely populated, has a population of more than [-] people, or tens of thousands of people, how much food and rice do these people consume every day? ?Just a ratio of [-]% to [-] can make eunuchs all over the place so fat that their crotches are greasy.

"What should I say if it is based on the method of drawing five out of one hundred?"

"I sent the money to the head office of Beijing Longsheng Bank, and the father-in-laws can divide it themselves. How to distribute it is not something we should think about. Even if the father-in-laws repay the money to the emperor, it is expected."

"In addition, Eunuch Wu, please forward this report to the two princes and the chiefs of the ceremonial supervisor. We are willing to take out another [-]% to give you one or two. You are also among them."

In the face of huge interests, neither the Salt Gang nor the Cao Gang, together with the many eunuchs in the palace, could resist.They all became Li Shouhan's allies.

Excitedly, Wu Liangfu rushed out of Xiaguan pier overnight, and sailed north to the palace to report the matter to Wang Dehua, Wang Chengen and others.

And Shou Han and Li Peiting were in the cabin heading to Wusongkou to take stock of the harvest of King Qin going north this time.

"Unexpectedly, I am not afraid of the enemy on the battlefield, but I am being plotted behind my back here in Nanjing."

Shou Han resentfully looked towards Qixia and Niushou mountains who were going away.

"My lord, let's bear with it for a while, haven't we already started?" Pei Ting had an expression that everything was under control.

"It only takes a few years of operation to let the land in the south of the Yangtze River know how powerful it is!"

"However, I still have a lump in my heart."

Shou Han vaguely felt that it might not be a good thing for an organization like the Yancao Gang to recruit more than [-] gang members to fight for him in a day in a place like Nanjing .

"These two families have hundreds of thousands of followers. If the lord's food, rice, refined salt and other powers are greatly expanded, I'm afraid it will be a big deal in the future."

Looking at the torrential water on the Yangtze River, Li Peiting couldn't help making calculations. (To be continued..)
