Chapter 569 Public Enemy Ning Yuanbo

Tianjin is only more than two hundred miles away from the capital, and a fast horse can go back and forth in one day. ,

Shou Han's mansion in the capital, Long Shengxing's business, and messengers sent by several officials, dignitaries, and eunuchs who had a close relationship with Shou Han in private, kept riding horses and whips to run wildly on this official road , Stagecoach Xingchi is connected end to end.

According to Shou Han's seal, according to his speculation, there will be a great chaos in the court.According to what he knew about the pissing nature of civil and military officials, it would be strange if the court didn't quarrel with each other, and all kinds of impeachment papers were not smashed to death.

However, to his surprise, this proposal to the Emperor Chongzhen, in which the proposals for allotment of land into the mu, one payment of food and one errand, and the collection of various types of taxes and taxes, is like a 500-kilogram high-explosive aviation bomb Throwing it into the fish pond did not blow up the water very high.

However, in private, the mud was blown far and near.

From the various news from the capital, it can be inferred that although the capital is calm on the surface, there is an undercurrent surging in private.Chongzhen finally couldn't resist the great temptation of the blueprint described in this proposal, and called important court officials for a small-scale discussion.

However, the ministers all stared at this plan that seemed to be for the sake of the Ming court, but in fact took away the delicious food from the mouths of all vested interest groups, and said nothing.

Under Chongzhen's repeated urging, finally a minister spoke up.

"Your Majesty, giving preferential treatment to scholars and gentry is an ancestral system established by Emperor Taizu Gao. How could it be abolished because of the lack of military pay in the court because of the mere document of Uncle Ning Yuan?"

"Emperor Shenzong also sent tax inspectors and mine inspectors to various places back then, and there was a lot of dissatisfaction among the people in the country. If His Majesty does this again, I'm afraid that there will be riots in various places and join forces with the bandits, and the situation will be even more difficult to deal with."

"Uncle Ning Yuan is unrivaled in training troops and fighting in the world, and all the ministers hold their hands in admiration. However, his actions are mainly domineering. It is not the way of a saint. Your Majesty is a benevolent and filial king. How can he use domineering techniques?"

The ministers are very clear that all the things mentioned in this article will be handled according to the rambunctious statement, and only one third of them will be implemented.What bandits, what slaves, what natural disasters, all are not a problem.However, such a big tomorrow, is it still our big tomorrow?

We scholar-officials want a great tomorrow, but it is a world shared and governed by the scholar-bureaucrats and the emperor.

It's not that scholars also have to pay food and taxes as errands, and assume various obligations.

Looking at the impassioned faces of the ministers, Emperor Chongzhen felt tired for no reason.He wanted to order Li Shouhan to go to Beijing to argue with this group of ministers, but he didn't have the courage.

Last night, when the state patriarch Zhou Kui entered the palace, he once told him that if Uncle Ning Yuan came to Beijing, I'm afraid things would be even more difficult to deal with!When tens of thousands of troops enter Beijing, what will they bring, and what terrible situation will evolve out of control, who dare to pat their chests to guarantee?

And those ministers under Majesty Dan.The reason why they didn't dare to attack this guy who had been mutilated countless times in their hearts was precisely because these tens of thousands of tigers and wild beasts were controlled by the guards.

If it is the imperial army.Even if the opponent is Yuan Chonghuan, they still have a way to kill him, at worst let him come up from the top of the city in a hanging basket.

never mind!

Don't let this scourge enter Beijing!

The emperor, ministers, and eunuchs cursed secretly in their hearts.

Therefore, a Ming Dynasty issued an edict to Uncle Ning Yuan, who was stationed in Tianjin and organized an army to carry out a military attack on the rebels in Liaodong, and copied all the controversies in the court to him. "Make it understand the echo."

Now that you have poked a hornet's nest, you might as well play it bigger and more thoroughly!So, Shou Han once again fired a series of heavy shells with the Kron cannon.The article described with great fanfare the income of several customs duties, and the huge role these silver played in today's Liaodong battlefield and the battlefield of suppressing thieves.at the end of the article.In addition to suggesting that Chongzhen "in this extraordinary world, we should use extraordinary means, do extraordinary things, and make extraordinary achievements." The article clearly states that today's success or failure does not lie in the momentary differences between Liaodong and the Central Plains. Gains and losses, if the government orders are smooth and the tax revenue is sufficient, even if the front line is defeated, robbers are rampant, and the country has money and food, it will be safe as Mount Tai.Liao thieves and thieves are the standard, and money and food are the foundation!

"...Furthermore, the one who abides by the law is the one who guards the land. If the land of the ancestors is not guarded today, how can there be any law for the ancestors? A husband can keep the laws of the ancestors, but he cannot guard the land of the ancestors. Changing the law of the ancestors, but being able to protect the land of the ancestors, which one gains and which one loses, which one is more important and which one is less important?"

In addition to this big mouth that is enough to make the faces of the guys who carried out Zhu Yuanzhang's so-called ancestral system, Shou Han is not afraid that he has not offended many people.

"Currently there are not enough soldiers and guards, and the commanders and generals from all over the country are not strong enough to support themselves. We must train new troops."

Such a move made Chongzhen ecstatic.Originally thought that Uncle Ning Yuan would rely on his troops, horses, money and food to plot evil.But looking at it now, he almost offended the entire world in one fell swoop (of course, the people of the world in Chongzhen’s eyes must not be those who farm, work, and contribute to wealthy businessmen. The handle of the knife is nothing but thick black skin and calloused hands.) What about spying on Dabao?Honestly give me coolies, money and food!Now that I have become the master of ZTE, I cannot do without your position as prince!

Not only did Chongzhen start to carefully and prudently analyze Shouhan's suggestion, but many civil servants who represented the interests of Jiangnan merchant groups and Donglin also searched for information that was beneficial to them from their hometown. , and the way to maximize the benefits.

There was no other way, from the current situation, the emperor was determined to follow Li Shouhan's idea of ​​harming the country and the people, and the difference was only a matter of how much.Since it is unavoidable to avoid such a situation, then try to reduce the blow to yourself as much as possible, and even profit from it.Didn't the most holy teacher teach us that "a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall" and "a man who understands current affairs is a hero"?

Over the past few years, with the backing of the Southern Guangdong Army, Long Shengxing and other firms and newspapers have rampaged in the south of the Yangtze River, causing great losses to the owners of porcelain and weaving fields in the south of the Yangtze River.However, there are also many people who have made a fortune in business dealings with the Southern Guangdong Army system.Such as tea merchants, raw silk merchants, and grain merchants.

While dumping grain, oil, salt and various textiles, the Longsheng system is also buying raw silk, tea and other raw materials.When there were bursts of tragic cries from weaving fields in various places, the mulberry and silkworm households in western Zhejiang were absolutely happy, and the merchants in Nanzhong used a lot of silver dollars to buy raw silk, directly raising the price of raw silk by [-] to [-]%. more than.Seeing that it was profitable, landlords everywhere turned fertile land into mulberry forests.

For the commercial behavior of selling finished products on the one hand and buying raw materials and primary products on the other hand.At first, Donglin's behind-the-scenes bosses and funders were very happy.Ships of finely woven and dyed cloth came, and boats of cotton yarn and gray cloth were purchased, leaving a lot of profits for Jiangnan merchants.In order to seek huge profits, the talented Jiangnan businessmen even developed a business model combining direct sales, consignment sales, and smuggling.

The ministers exchanged letters with each other, dissected their interests, how to stay popular and avoid the black, and seek the best interests for themselves in this coming great change.

The adults and gentlemen conspired in private, but the newspaper controlled by Longsheng was unwilling to be lonely.Several newspapers in the capital and Nanjing published Uncle Ningyuan's watch and seal in full, and provided explanations for those ordinary people who heard books and gentlemen reading newspapers in teahouses.An ordinary little people.A small shopkeeper, a case of how people who rely on rural fields and shops in the city to pay their taxes under the new tax system.Whether the burden has increased or decreased since Xianggong Jiangling implemented a whip method.

It's not that I don't know, after forgetting it, there was an uproar in the teahouse.

Originally thought that Uncle Ning Yuan, like the Emperor Wanli described by scholars, would use Wang Anshi's method to exploit us little people.But I don't want to send us money! "There is no need to pay so much money and food, isn't it just sending us money?"

Some people, after hearing the storyteller sing at the country temple fair and reading the newspaper, secretly calculated in their hearts that if they really followed Uncle Ningyuan's testimonials.Really want to do two things right away, one is to set up a longevity tablet for Ning Yuanbo next to the tablet of heaven, earth, monarch, relative and teacher.The second one is to go to He Ju's family to ask for the donated land back!

Although Shou Han's document was like a sap that made the entire court system dizzy, but after waking up a little bit, although everyone had a headache, but according to the groups they belonged to and different interests, they began to write in this inscription. Find some of the terms that work best for you.

For example.The eunuchs headed by Wang Chengen and Wang Dehua eagerly appreciated Uncle Ning Yuan's strategy of putting the new army under the direct command of the emperor.In this part of the strategy, Shou Han even proposed that he was willing to contribute all the materials and expenses required for the training of this 3-strong new army, and sent personnel to assist the imperial court in the training and recruitment.Waiting to defeat the Liaodong rebels.All materials and trained troops were submitted to the emperor for command and dispatch.Of course, the so-called belonging to the emperor commanded the transfer, that is, the eunuchs who were handed over to the imperial horse supervisor commanded the transfer.

In this way, the right to speak of the eunuchs in the court will be much greater.

Regarding this matter, the Donglin Party members of Zhongzheng Yingchao will naturally not allow him to happen, and the generals from all over the country will not agree either.They are willing to train the new army, but how can they agree if the materials and military salary are not dispatched and used, and the command of the army is not given to them?So, a minister in the court said gloomyly, "Your Majesty, don't you worry about leaving a magical army for your descendants?"

As soon as these words came out, the eunuchs immediately fell silent.Shence Army, what team is that?That was the forbidden army armed by the eunuchs in the late Tang Dynasty.Several Li Tang emperors were supported by eunuchs relying on the force of Shence Army.

However, the bigwigs in the court also knew the pulse of the emperor Chongzhen, knowing the emperor's likes and dislikes, if he didn't achieve his goal of training his own lineage's military force, I'm afraid there will be another political tide in the court.

Ever since, a compromise plan for making paste was first passed under the compromise of all parties.Recruit [-] recruits in the Gyeonggi and Shandong areas, which will be under the jurisdiction of the Royal Horse Supervisor. Uncle Ning Yuan is asked to provide food, salaries and weapons to send personnel to organize training.After the Shenji Battalion and the Sanqian Battalion returned to the organizational system from Shandong, they will be mixed with the above-mentioned troops.

This matter was passed by the court with great joy.The eunuchs mastered an armed force, and the ministers controlled the size of the new army, and at the same time caused Ning Yuanbo to bleed again.However, the next thing was to annoy the eunuchs and the adults of the Ministry of War.

In order to save supply pressure and ease the pressure on Daming’s already tight finances, Shou Han suggested in his reply that the Southern Guangdong Army send craftsmen and technicians to Daming’s military production department to supervise the manufacture of gunpowder, armor, and weapons.Some craftsmen and managers who made gunpowder, weapons and armor were transferred from Nanzhong to make the above-mentioned weapons together with the craftsmen of Ming Dynasty.At the same time, the clothing factory will also send some people to help organize the production of military uniforms in Ming Dynasty.

Is this okay? !Isn't this snatching food from the adults of the Ministry of War and the eunuchs in charge of the warehouse?Your Nanzhong weapons and armor are of high quality and cheap.But everyone has seen it.But if you send people to supervise and help increase production levels and reduce consumption, then what should we eat?

It should be noted that Xu Guangqi Xiangguo personally supervised the manufacture of fine Lumi guns, which are known as the most ruthless and poisonous, and the cost of each gun has reached 150 taels.Compared with the Lumi gun, it is also a Zambala gun of Ottoman origin.In fact, it is an upgraded version of the Lumi blunderbuss of the Ming Dynasty. It has been localized and transformed into a lifting gun. The flat attack means that the maximum range can reach more than 51 steps. The number is in the memorial to Yongzheng given by the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi in the ninth year of Yongzheng, and in the memorial to Qianlong by Heshen in the [-]st year of Qianlong. Students who are interested can find it by themselves.), and the same flintlock is in the famous corrupt official and Under Shen's supervision, each stick uses fifteen catties of leaf iron.The silver for food and materials is one, two, three, six cents and six cents.As mentioned above, the most expensive gun with a maximum range of more than [-] steps is only six taels, and the lowest is two taels or eight dollars.

(You are a famous corrupt official, you are so rebellious, how can you let the famous scientist and many upright officials of the Ming Dynasty face the audience? Why don’t you offer 150 taels to your master?! Huh?!)

The most offensive thing in Shou Han's reply is that he pointed out the reason for the rise of the rogue bandits. The root cause is the annexation of land, and then the officials and gentry did not pay the food, which caused the people to be overburdened.However, the source of money and food for the imperial court spread with the spread of natural disasters.The refugee's quest to survive is getting smaller and smaller.Therefore, if you want to completely put down the rogue bandits and bring peace to the country.The method is actually very simple.As long as an imperial decree is issued to the world, it is announced that officials and gentry pay grain and taxes together.Then try to make this imperial decree known to the peasant army mainly composed of Li Zicheng Chuangying, Luo Rucai Caoying, and Zhang Xianzhong Xiying. In less than half a year, the so-called millions of refugees who were coerced by Li Zicheng and others will disperse and return to their hometowns.Li Zicheng and others, whose followers have been scattered, will surrender themselves.

However, this paragraph of text was undoubtedly ignored by the Chinese military officials, nobles, eunuchs, and even Chongzhen himself.Are you kidding me?Where is the decency and dignity of the imperial court?Do you want me to wait (I) like you Li Shouhan?Can't you get the money from your own family to pay taxes?

After many years, conscientious young historians commented on this period of history and wrote: "Under the principle of three points against the enemy and seven points of development, inspired by the rapid expansion of the strength of the Southern Guangdong Army. Li Shouhan At that time, his ambition was already extremely inflated, and he tried to control the military politics and even the economy of the Ming Dynasty without a fight, but his ambition was not insidious, and he did not hide it at all, and directly and nakedly made demands on Chongzhen."

(Where is Snow White’s stepmother’s apple turned into a digital product like the foundation that pays us salaries, pays author fees, and helps promote publicity?)

As for the so-called provision of technology and management proposed by Shou Han, and the suggestion of supervising and reforming the military production within the Ming court system, it was even more negated by the tacit understanding of all factions in the court.As a famous king of subjugation in history, Chongzhen knew very well that this so-called technical cooperation, borrowing chickens to lay eggs, and exchanging one's own market and resources for technology is extremely unreliable and extremely dangerous.At that time, I am afraid that Jiannu will be pacified, but the owner of the dragon chair in the Qianqing Palace in the Huangji Palace will also change.

This kind of thing was carried out with great fanfare by someone, using the already perfect industrial system of their own country to promote the so-called method of laying eggs by borrowing chickens.To introduce other people's funds and technology to improve their own management level, so a large number of former enemies no longer carried military flags but came in openly with briefcases between them.

However, the chickens are borrowed, but the original chicken cages of our own have to be provided to other chickens, and the original chickens of our own, sorry, in order to properly feed other people’s chickens, you have to be patient.However, they also ate a lot of concentrated feed that exceeded national treatment.The chicken feces were also scattered all over the floor, but I just don't know how many eggs were left in the end?

Even Chongzhen knew that this matter was unreliable, but some people regarded it like a bible.

Even the ministers praised Ning Yuanbo's mansion as having a prosperous Tang style during the court meeting, and his daughter's family can lead the army to fight, maybe she will be a Pingyang princess in time?A few poisonous arrows were fired in succession in these words, but fortunately no one noticed.

At the end of the court discussion, the quarrels between the various factions were over, and their respective interests were considered to be balanced.

The imperial court officially issued an order to Uncle Ning Yuan and Li Shouhan, the president who aided in the suppression of the war, allowing him to implement his so-called idea of ​​integrating officials, gentry, and errands to pay food for military use in Shandong, Denglai and other places.

In the eyes of the bigwigs in the court, Shandong and Denglai have been plagued by locust droughts or riots over the years, and now it is Abatai, the bandit Wang Ke, and Li Qingshan who have turned the province upside down. It became a mess, so Li Shouhan simply let Li Shouhan to toss about.Take it as allowing him to raise food and pay on the spot.

However, the bosses may have consciously forgotten that although Shandong is in chaos, there are several wealthy families that will not be affected by the change of dynasty.

The news spread to Qufu, Zou County and other places. In Yanshenggong Mansion and Yasheng Mansion, angry shouts and curses could be heard across the courtyard wall.

Li Shouhan, who was mentioned the most times in the scolding, could not hear these things at this time.After receiving the order from the imperial court, they forwarded it to Li Huayu, the eldest son who stayed behind in Jinan, and urged the troops to prepare to leave for Ningyuan.At the same time, he ordered the South Guangdong Army troops in Ningyuan to evacuate the wounded to Tamna Island for rest and treatment.It has been operated by the Nanyue Army for a long time, and the facilities and equipment in all aspects are much better than those in Ningyuan.

When the news reached Ningyuan, it was quickly obtained by the secret agents of the Qing army lurking in Ningyuan City through various channels.

After the commanders-in-chief of the opposing armies learned of the same news, they reacted exactly the same.

Knowing that Li Shouhan ordered the Southern Guangdong Army to evacuate the wounded in Ningyuan, Dorgon, who had been stationed in Songshan Fort for many days, felt at ease, "Thank God! Li Huamei, that crazy woman and tigress is finally leaving!" During those days when Li Huamei survived under the artillery fire regardless of cost, Dorgon's back felt chills: his tens of thousands of people were almost beaten to collapse by thousands of Nanyue troops!

Shi Lang, who was stationed in Ningyuan and kept comforting Li Huamei to recover from his wounds, also felt a stone in his heart fall to the ground after receiving this order.

"Thank God, Mother Mazu appeared to protect her. Our eldest lady is finally leaving." (To be continued...)
