Chapter 107 War is to spend money
The imperial envoy.
"Is there a dispersed place in Lichunyuan?"
Looking at the little eunuch coming in, Zhang Jing took his gaze from his fingers. Why didn’t he find his fingers so beautiful before?
"Go back to Godfather, we're leaving!" the little eunuch said respectfully.
Nodded, Zhang Jing smiled and said, "It's good that we'll leave. Our job is finally over. We've been away from Beijing for so long. I don't know what's going on in the capital. Have those little kids forgotten our family?"
"How dare they!" the little eunuch said quickly: "Godfather is the most trusted person in our Ming Dynasty."
After glanced at the little eunuch, Zhang Jing said lightly: "You can say, how can you do things?"
"Godfather, let's do it!" the eunuch replied: "Three memorials are sent out in three batches. The godfather's memorials are the earliest, the young master's memorials are second, and the Lord Cao's memorials are at the end."
Zhang Jing nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, that's great, it's done well."
The three-point memorial of the imperial envoy must be the first to go to the emperor's Longshu case. Cao Yikui's last one! If the emperor is moved by his messy words, he will be in trouble.
"Okay, go back and rest!" Zhang Jing waved his hand: "It's time for our family to rest, but we're tired!"
The little eunuch hurriedly said, "Son serves his godfather to rest!"
Zhao Mansion.
Zhao Liang entered his study, glanced at his son Zhao He, frowned and said, "It's so late, why don't you go back to sleep, why do you follow me?"
Zhao He scratched his head, but he still said respectfully: "I don't understand some things in my child, I want to ask my father!"
"What are you asking for advice for the big night? Go back to sleep!" Zhao Liang said angrily. Although he also wanted to teach his son, especially when his son was so motivated, but when was it?
It seems that I have to book a marriage for him as soon as possible if I don’t sleep at night.
Li Zhongxing seems to have a daughter. I don’t know if I can ask for it. I’m afraid it’s a bit difficult, so I have to ask about it another day.
Zhao He was scolded by his father, so he could only nod and turn back to his yard. Now Zhao He admires his old man very much. He is no longer as he did before, and he is dissatisfied with his sevens and eights of them. Only by listening to his father's words can he live a good life!
The next morning, Zhao He got up early one morning and ran to his father and mother to pay his respects.
He glared at his son and caused his wife to roll his eyes. Zhao Liang then said helplessly: "Okay, sit down! Haven't you eaten breakfast yet? Then let's have a meal together!" After that, he looked at his wife and got a coquettish roll of eyes.
After the family had breakfast, Zhao Liang took Zhao He to the study in his wife's gratifying eyes.
After taking a sip of tea, Zhao Liang then spoke, "Tell me, I don't understand anything!"
Zhao He breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Dad, I don't understand what happened yesterday. What is the court doing? Abolishing the salt induced, the court is not afraid of everyone making trouble? If there is a problem with this salt, it is afraid that Jiangnan will be unstable!"
After looking at his son, Zhao Liang smiled bitterly and said, "Noisy? Now, who dares to make trouble?"
"Didn't you see Li Zhongxing yesterday? We're making trouble. The Shanxi merchants took advantage of the situation. They were hoping that we'll make trouble." Zhao Liang said with a sarcastic tone: "There are not enough people arrested in Yangzhou? No one dares to make trouble!"
"Look at the salt farm sales held by Li Zhongxing in a few days will definitely be a big deal!"
Zhao He nodded, and he also thought of this: "But there are really too few three salt fields. It would be great if I could get a few more."
After looking at Zhao He, Zhao Liang snorted coldly: "Satisfied!"
"The news has not spread. If you have to wait until the news spreads, you can't even get a salt field." Zhao Liang snorted coldly and said, "If they know the nobles of the Ming Dynasty, would they miss such an opportunity?"
"This time the court clearly wants to kick them away, and this is giving us a chance."
The father and son talked for a long time, but most of them were Zhao Liang teaching his son. His son's changes these days have made him feel relieved, and he spared no effort in teaching.
Capital, Forbidden City, Wenhua Hall.
Zhu Yijun was walking in the hall with a smile on his face. He was in a good mood these days. The memorial of the Qi family's rebellion case in Yangzhou had been sent, and the court was quiet, which relieved Zhu Yijun a lot of pressure.
The memorials impeached Zhang Jing a few days ago were carried in boxes. After the Qi family’s rebellion case, they all became honest.
"Emperor, Master Shen asked for a visit!" Zhang He walked in from outside and bowed.
Is Shen Shixing coming?
Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "Let him come in!"
Before long, Shen Shixing walked in from outside. The energetic Master Shen looked a little tired at this time. In fact, Shen Shixing was under great pressure during this period, and I won’t talk about the complicated government affairs. He has been through this for so many years.
However, the incident in Yangzhou caused him a lot of criticism.
Some people have already called Shen Shixing the Paper Made Grand Secretary, and the reputation is very bad.
Fortunately, the Qi family's rebellion case broke out in Yangzhou, which made Shen Shixing breathe a sigh of relief. In addition, there is the matter in the northwest, where wars are in front of the front and no peace will be stopped later. The food transfer and personnel allocation are busy with it.
Shen Shixing has basically never returned home during this period, and has almost lived and eaten and lived in the cabinet.
Although the ministers also thought of using troops in the northwest, no one expected that it would be so big. When Qi Jiguang's victory was delivered to the capital, others were happy and excited, but Shen Shixing and the others were complaining.
In the imperial court for many years, Shen Shixing and others certainly understood the significance of the Qinghugou victory.
Although they won, it also means that the Ming Dynasty and Oirat have completely turned against each other.
The war will definitely continue in the northwest. This is no longer what they want to fight or whether the Ming Dynasty wants to fight. Once the war begins, it will not stop. This is also why Qi Jiguang’s imperial edict to governor Xuanda’s military affairs is so easy. They also know that the Ming Dynasty is not defeated in this battle.
Once defeated, the northwest will be in a state of deterioration and things will be in trouble at that time.
"Your Majesty, this is the memorial that Liang Menglong, the Governor of Ji Liao, just handed over!" After the salute, Shen Shixing quickly handed over a memorial and said respectfully: "The earth man in Liaodong has abnormal movements, and it seems to be about to offend the border!"
Zhu Yijun frowned. Although he had expected this, he didn't expect it to happen.
The so-called Tumans in Liaodong actually include many tribes, among which the more famous are the Chahar tribe, the Korqin tribe, the Neikal, the Tumote, the Ordos tribe, etc. They are even more chaotic than the Oirat in the west.
These tribes are very large and cannot be unified, otherwise the Ming Dynasty would have had great trouble.
"Which movie is it?" Zhu Yijun looked at Shen Shixing and asked in a deep voice.
"Go back to your Majesty, it's the Chahar tribe!" Shen Shixing thought for a while and added: "It's Buyanchechen of the Chahar tribe, and he was the allied tribes on the grassland, preparing to invade the border."
Many people may not have heard of Buyanchechen, but many people must have heard of his son. This person is Lin Dankhan. In fact, Buyanchechen is Altan Khan's cousin. In order to avoid the annexation of the Ola, Buyanchechen led the Chahar tribe to move eastward, and then came to this place now.
The Chahar tribe was strong and ambitious, and was determined to unify Mongolia in the southern desert and then unify the entire Mongolia.
As the descendant of the Golden Family, although Buyan Chechen is not the opponent of Altan Khan, Altan Khan is dead now!
After Altan Khan's death, it would be strange if Buyanchechen had no ambitions. I guess Buyanchechen also heard about the news that the Ming Dynasty and the Ola had turned against each other. This time, invading the Ming Dynasty, in order to intimidate the tribes or take advantage of the chaos, was not good news for the Ming Dynasty.
In recent years, the Ming Dynasty's struggles with the Chahar tribe in Liaodong and never stopped. Li Chengliang and Qi Jiguang have been fighting with them in Liaodong.
This time, Buyan Chechen also summoned other tribes to come together, and Liaodong is probably in a hurry.
"What did Liang Menglong say?" Zhu Yijun looked at Shen Shixing and asked with a serious face.
"Liang Menglong didn't say anything, but I just hope the court can allocate a batch of silver." Shen Shixing thought for a while and said, "Liang Menglong said in the memorial that he was just to find out that Bu Yanchechen had the possibility of infringing on the border."
Zhu Yijun nodded. He could understand the money he wanted. Before the war, eat some good food and give some bonuses.
"How much does he want?" Zhu Yijun looked at Shen Shixing and asked.
"Two hundred thousand taels!"
Zhu Yijun said without thinking: "Give him, let someone send it to him, tell me that I will not ask him to kill more Tumans this time, nor will I go to him to win any great victory. There is only one requirement, that is, to defend Liaodong for me."
"Liaodong cannot be chaotic, and the local barbarians cannot enter the Great Wall. If they cannot do it, they will be engaged in military law!"
"Yes, I understand!" Shen Shixing quickly bowed and said, "Now there is fighting in the northwest, Liaodong cannot be in chaos!"
After saying this, Shen Shixing said again: "Your Majesty, the national treasury has spent more than 2 million taels of silver. Should I go to the northwest to let Qi Jiguang fight quickly!"
The Northwest must have a fight, but it’s better to finish it soon!
In fact, Shen Shixing is also a test of Zhu Yijun's attitude. If Zhu Yijun agrees, the next step is to persuade Zhu Yijun to be harmonious and end the war in the northwest as soon as possible.
"No!" Zhu Yijun waved his hand firmly without hesitation.
"I have paid all the war in the Northwest for Qi Jiguang. He has the final say in how to fight. We cannot urge us here. Don't be afraid of spending money. Wars are just about spending money. The national treasury is not enough and my inner treasury. The inner treasury is not enough. I am thinking of other ways."
This time, Zhu Yijun even used money to smash the northwest.
