Seven hundred and ninety-one meet Chen Longzheng again
Zhenjiang Prefecture is a large population, looking from south to north, it is one of the hubs of the Grand Canal, and from east to west, it is also one of the ports of the Yangtze River Waterway. Such a convenient position gives Zhenjiang Prefecture a good potential for developing commercial development.
There are many places like Zhenjiang Prefecture in the whole south of the Yangtze River. Rich merchants bring wealth to do business, eat, drink and have fun, and live a paradise like a paradise on earth. If calculated according to the original historical trajectory of that world, this kind of luxury and comfortable environment will not end until more than fifty years later.
Because the Qing Dynasty came to fight.
When Emperor Chongzhen died in despair in the capital, he was still singing and singing here every night. Even if the Qing soldiers headed south, the final carnival was still underway.
They are so rich and wealthy.
Because they basically don't have to pay taxes.
They killed everyone who wanted them to pay taxes, even if the other party was the emperor.
What can dominate everything here is not the government, but the gentry, powerful people, local tyrants, and the local tyrants. They are the owners of this land.
Before, Xiao Ruxun didn't know much about Jiangnan in this era. After arriving in Myanmar, he sent people to Jiangnan to do business. Only through some basic contact can he understand the situation in Jiangnan, especially in the southeast coastal areas.
Amazingly rich.
That's all I can describe.
Because of money, we can cultivate more full-time scholars. Because of money, we can clear up relationships and send these scholars who represent their interests to the central government to gain power. Because of money, we can prevent business tax revenue. Because of money, we can make it more rich.
And they are the funders of Shen Yiguan's government.
Before, the group of dead people in Shanxi were the funders of the previous government.
It was these people who swallowed most of the silver that had been since the Longqing switch, and later, it became cheaper in the Qing Dynasty.
Xiao Ruxun was looking for Myanmar ships at the port. Not to mention that, he saw at least three Myanmar ships at a glance, which was enough to prove that in the past five days, the news from the court had not yet reached the south, and the south was still living leisurely.
But after a while, it won't be there.
Xiao Ruxun led the three of them along the dock to find Myanmar ships and people from Myanmar to inquire about the news. But after walking a few steps, he heard a very familiar voice.
"I told you to be careful! The things here are very precious! Can you afford to lose if you break them?"
Xiao Ruxun stopped in shock, turned her head and saw a hammer pointing at a group of people carrying large containers.
"Everyone said that this is a very precious porcelain. Will you accompany you if you break it? I'm so clumsy, I've paid you a lot!"
"A little lighter, yes, lighter!"
"This is almost the same!"
The expression on Bangmao's face was very vivid, and it was no different from what he remembered.
Chen Longzheng.
The stick of the romantic talented man and beautiful woman.
Why is he here?
Perhaps feeling an extremely strong gaze, Chen Long turned his head and met Xiao Ruxun. After a few seconds of confusion, his eyes turned into astonishment, and then he grew up and wanted to shout.
Xiao Ruxun immediately raised a finger in front of her mouth, and then quickly walked towards Chen Longzheng.
"Don't talk, take me to a safe place!"
Xiao Ruxun said to Chen Longzheng in a low voice.
Although very shocked, Chen Longzheng forced himself to hold back the word "Xiao Hou" he wanted to shout, then nodded and said, "Let's go on the boat!"
Xiao Ruxun turned around and signaled Ma Hu and the other two to follow.
Several people quickly boarded a Myanmar merchant ship. After entering the cabin, Chen Longzheng looked around and closed the cabin door, and turned around to look at Xiao Ruxun.
"Mr. Xiao, why are you here? Didn't you just win the battle? Why did you run to Zhenjiang if you are not in the capital? And why did you dress up like this? Isn't this Ma Hu? And these two...what is this?"
Xiao Ruxun found a chair and sat down. Ma Hu and the other two also found a chair and sat down, and all breathed a sigh of relief.
"I won a battle. I was also named Duke of Qin by Your Majesty, the governor of the Jingying Rongzheng, and I have unparalleled glory. I have everything I should have."
Chen Longzheng looked shocked.
"Qin State... no, what's going on? Why can't I understand? Xiao Hou, this... I don't understand."
Xiao Ruxun leaned on the back of the chair, took a breath, and told Chen Longzheng the whole story in full.
The more Chen Longzheng heard, the more surprised, the more shocked Chen Longzheng heard, the more shocked he became. In the end, he was even inexplicably frightened, and then frightened.
"Shen Yiguan...he...he dares to do such a thing?!"
"So I have become like this now. Shen Yiguan has declared me a rebellion. Through the edict of the newly ascended emperor, this news will probably reach Jiangnan in two days as soon as possible, and Myanmar town will also become a rebellious town.
He ordered Yunnan Governor Chen Yongbin to attack Myanmar Town, but the news will probably take ten days and half a month to deliver it to Yunnan. If it is slower, it may be more than twenty days, so we still have time."
Chen Long was walking back and forth a few steps, his face was gloomy and sunny.
"How could this happen? How could this happen? This... How could the saint disciple do such a thing? This shouldn't be..."
"Not it?! Chen Longzheng! Didn't you see what we became? The three thousand brothers who followed our Northern Expedition were all dead! They were all killed by Shen Yiguan! There is also Songbutang and the old chief assistant! Even the emperor was forced to abdicate by him, and what else could he not do?!"
Chen Long was dizzy when Ma Hu was taught a lesson, and sat on a chair and doubted his life.
He really needs to doubt his life, his thinking is too romantic.
"At present, we have a lot to do. The first thing is to recall all the Myanmar ships doing business in Jiangnan, so that they can leave here immediately and go south to Myanmar. This is very important. Otherwise, it won't take long before a navy will chase them."
Xiao Ruxun quickly analyzed: "Then we must also return to Myanmar as soon as possible to prepare for war. This time, it is imperative for me to send troops to the Northern Expedition to fight against the trend!"
Ma Hu and the other three showed a ferocious look on their faces, and the fire of revenge was burning.
"Mr. Xiao!"
Chen Longzheng hurriedly said, "Is this matter... no! No! I mean, you decided to fight the Northern Expedition?"
Xiao Ruxun looked at Chen Longzheng.
"That's right, I want to fight the Northern Expedition. Shen Yiguan bullies the emperor and the emperor for destruction and establishment, harms loyal and kind, and kills the soldiers who have made great contributions. This is not my intention to fight the Northern Expedition, but he forced me to raise an army to fight the Northern Expedition. Tilong. In this situation, do I have any other way to go?"
Chen Longzheng had nothing to say.
