The ninth day of the ninth month of Jianxing.

This is a good day for everything.

Chen Sheng Ruishi Camp, who was temporarily transferred to Shanxi by Wu Zheng, cooperated with Chen Zhiyuan's 18,000 spear cavalry and the main cavalry formed by the Fenglei cavalry led by Qian Qiaogong. To the west of Shanxi Town and the north side of Qinglan Mountain, the main cavalry of Wu Sangui who was ordered to march towards the capital was wiped out.

This battle perfectly interprets the absolute crushing of hot weapons on the cavalry.

Although it cannot be like the classic example of the Battle of Xianyang in later generations, General Peng defeated 80,000 cavalry with a hundred machine guns.

However, due to its preparation, the Ruishi Battalion mobilized 600 gun cars. Even if the firing rate was not as high as that of machine guns in later generations, the failure rate was high. However, the base of the 600 aircraft was placed there, and the participation of the direct-target field guns in the battle, the enemy cavalry was almost completely crushed.

According to Chen Sheng, who was ordered to return to Xuzhou, the enemy cavalry could not cross the mile before the ambush point. At that time, the corpse of the enemy cavalry, who was shot one mile away, was so high that one person was built.

On September 15, when he heard that Wu Sangui's main cavalry was annihilated by the Northern Expedition Army, Li Dingguo decisively launched a general attack on Wu Sangui who was peng in Xi'an Prefecture.

Although they did not conquer immediately and the two sides had been fighting fiercely for several days, Wu Zheng knew that the day when Wu Sangui's power was destroyed was not far away.

Even if Wu Sangui can defend Xi'an Prefecture, so what?

As long as Li Dingguo successfully recruited the remnants of the Dashun Army in the Shaanxi-Gansu direction, Wu Sangui would be like a turtle in a jar.

Looking at the seven or eight red arrows pointing to Shuntian Mansion on the map on the wall, Wu Zheng knew that it was time to end.

The new dynasty must have a new atmosphere!

"Transmission." Wu Zheng turned around and said to Huang Changping, "Wang Yilin's Navy returned south immediately and blocked the Qiantang River estuary... and ordered Shi Lang's Navy to block the Yangtze River waterway, and only allowed civilian ships to return south and not north..."

Seeing Huang Changping leave, Li Yong wanted to speak a few times but stopped, but in the end, he couldn't help but said carefully, "Your Highness... the chaos in Hangzhou Prefecture is rooted in the city!"

Wu Zheng slowly turned around and looked at Li Yong with a strange expression, "I know what you want to say... But since the court has a law, why should I be charged with false crimes?"

Li Yong's face was a little sad, "Your Highness said... It's a pity that the price is too high... Too many people who shouldn't die are dead, and perhaps there are many people who shouldn't die who shouldn't die... Is it worth it?"

"Worth it!" Wu Zheng looked at the huge map on the wall, "The rivers and mountains are about to be unified, and for the long-term stability of the Chinese nation, any price is worth it!"

Following Wu Zheng's gaze, Li Yong looked at the map, and his face slowly became excited, "If Your Highness said... it is really worth it!"

....

Check Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce.

This is a shackle.

It sounds like it is not very lethal, but in fact, it is enough to shake the whole world.

The Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce has developed to this day, and its share capital has exceeded 20 million taels. What is this concept? For example, today, Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian, and half a small Huguang, the annual income is more than 20 million taels.

These four places accounted for more than 50% of the country's taxes based on the annual income ratio during the Chongzhen period.

This is not the case with the new city land market value that has been swelled up due to Wu Zheng's "crazy leverage".

In other words, the capital of a Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce is equivalent to the annual income of six or seven years in the country at this time.

However, if there are millions of people directly related to the Chamber of Commerce, it is difficult to count indirectly.

This is not something that can be described by the ordinary word "big". It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a giant beast.

If Wu Zheng wanted to build a country through business, he might be able to guide him and slowly move him subtly.

But Wu Zheng did not think that building a country through commerce is beneficial to China.

Although it is too extreme to say that "no businessman is not traitorous", merchants are naturally seeking profit. In many cases, things in the world cannot be completely solved without "profit-oriented". Many times, they need to take the initiative to lose money and sacrifice.

Businessmen can't do it!

Can literati do it?

No literati can do it either!

Although it is more appropriate for literati to govern the country than for merchants, party struggles in all dynasties have all been caused by literati.

The most important thing is that the purpose of studying hard for ten years is to be an official. In addition to the books of sages, the only thing scholars can be proud of is to use popular beautiful literature to leave their names in history and use shocking and beautiful words to flirt with girls.

In addition to these, what resonates most with people is "no power to tie a chicken" and "no use is a scholar".

The biggest disadvantage is that learning cannot be applied.

Although Wang Yangming also advocates the unity of knowledge and action, what can he learn and what can he do?

All things are inferior, but only those who study well are high. There is another sentence after that, to abolish all schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone.

The Confucianism that respects Confucius and Mencius for more than two thousand years has been deeply rooted. In order to consolidate the imperial power, emperors of all generations have respected Confucius and Mencius as saints who cannot be rebelled.

Their successors can only be officials.

In Wu Zheng's mind, scholars have a job that is most suitable, such as staff, senator, or master.

Therefore, Wu Zheng wanted to change this situation, not to suppress scholars or drive scholars out of the court.

Wu Zheng is already working to cultivate a group of proletariats.

The germination of Jiangnan capital appeared as early as the founding of the Ming Dynasty. We wanted to strengthen it, but we did not let it do whatever it wanted.

There is no doubt that the primary stage of capitalism can greatly develop productivity.

In just seven years, the earth-shaking changes in Jiangnan were not the result of Wu Zheng’s personal actions or indulgence, but the result of capital development, devouring, and self-growth.

Wu Zheng felt this invisible threat and had to put the giant beast in a cage. It was time!

As the saying goes, a centipede insect will die without being stiff.

What's more, it is the legitimate "youth" Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce.

It will resist, fight back, or even backfire its master who raises it.

....

Hangzhou City, in front of the Censorate Office.

The luxurious red sedan chair carried by eight people stopped.

More than twenty attendants in uniform costumes quickly stepped forward and blocked the yamen in front of the Censor's Office.

This attitude is indeed amazing.

Four beautiful maids following behind the sedan chair quickly stepped forward.

Two beautiful maids took out a bench wrapped in purple satin from the back of the sedan chair and placed it in front of the sedan chair.

The other two beautiful maids, one leaned over the bench and the other lifted the curtain of the sedan chair.

A black soft boot embroidered with a tiger's head exposed the door of the sedan.

Everyone present bowed their heads and eyebrows, and looked respectful.

In front of the Censorate Office, there is probably only one person in Hangzhou City, but the entire Jiangnan, so that's not obsessed with it.

The Mo family has been engaged in business for several generations and is well-known in Jiangnanji. It has always been popular among the people.

But such a slutty operation that ignores the majesty of the government is indeed rare.

It’s not that Mo Zhongnian dared to do this because Wu Zheng was away.

In fact, this is not the case. Even if Wu Zheng is in Hangzhou, Mo Zhong is the same.
