Chapter 2261 What's so nervous about this matter?
After a while, Zhu Youjian learned that Yuan Chonghuan had been taken down from prison in the Ganqing Palace in Zijing City. The young emperor was still very calm about this. This was not the time when the Tartars were rampant outside the capital in the original history, and the Emperor No. 1 was powerless to do anything about it.
The current Later Jin soldiers were trapped in Zunhua area, with more than 300 armored cavalry from the time of his emperor grandfather. The Tartars were frightened and dared not go out of the camp when they were shot with 300 muskets.
During this period, Chongzhen still had great resentment towards Yuan Chonghuan, but he would not have been slapped in the original history.
Not to mention Zhu Youjian's relaxation, since Abatai and tens of thousands of Jurchen Taurus heads were transported back to the capital, the people around the capital have completely relaxed. Now, many people use the invasion of the Later Jin Dynasty as a joke in their daily lives.
The Ming Dynasty suddenly got so many fierce cheats, and it would be difficult for the Later Jin Dynasty to think that it would be tragedy.
Just as Zhu Youjian was handling the Chinese documents, Cao Huachun hurried into the palace and whispered, "Your Majesty, many generals wrote a letter together, asking Your Majesty to send troops north, and you can annihilate all the main forces of the Tartars in Zunhua in one breath."
"There are not only the generals and generals from Liaodong, but also the soldiers and soldiers from other places who serve the king."
In addition to the Liaodong soldiers, Changping General You Shiwei, Datong General Man Gui, and Xuanfu General Hou Shilu were all here in more than half a month.
Zhu Youjian laughed, "This is because of the heavenly soldiers and generals sent by the emperor and the extraordinary firearms given by the immortals, these guys are a little bit floating."
After having been in contact with Tong Jian and other immortal kings for some time, Zhu Youjian learned some of the catchphrases of those guys. He joked that he did not take the battle of these generals to heart. He said again, "Have Xu Guangqi, Sun Yuanhua, Bi Maokang, Han Lin and others all arrived in the capital?"
These names were also told by people like Xu Junxian, who were the most outstanding firearm experts of this era. They handed the Mauser 98k carbine from Zhu Youjian to this group of people. They probably did not have the ability to imitate it. The Mauser 98k carbine represents the difference in the overall industry in the two or three hundred years.
But giving this group of people a Mauser 98k, they definitely have the hope of greatly renovating various existing musket tools in the Ming Dynasty and enhancing the combat effectiveness and lethality of the original muskets.
If they are used well, they will create a truly usable musket force. Even if five hundred Mauser rifles are abandoned, the new musket force may not be able to kill the Tartar soldiers head-on.
Zhu Youjian was not stupid even after getting such a point of mention. Naturally, he sent people to invite these firearm experts to Beijing as soon as possible.
Now Zhu Youjian is a king who uses Mauser rifle to kill hundreds of enemies on the battlefield. He has a clear understanding of the power of the musket after it is improved, and he must definitely use it for Xu Guangqi and others.
Cao Huachun nodded, "These wise men have entered the capital one after another, just waiting for His Majesty to summon him."
Zhu Youjian was overjoyed, "After tomorrow, I will go to meet these Qing families. By the way, didn't you say a group of civil officials and Jinyiwei who were suspected to have been sent overseas during the Chengzu era and were heading north to the capital? Where are they currently?"
When it comes to this, the young emperor's expressions are very strange.
He really didn't expect that a vote of such a person would suddenly pop up. Is it true or false? Zhu Youjian's original intention still thought that it was true. Chengzu sent Zheng He to the West and went to sea many times. Isn't it possible that he was looking for the remains of Jianwen?
I couldn't find it when I went out a few times, so I spread some Jinyiwei overseas to squat, which was reasonable.
Besides, he wouldn't have thought that someone would have the courage to pretend to be descendants of the Jinyiwei.
Thinking of this, he still couldn't accept it. It's been hundreds of years since this, so why did such a person pop up? He sent someone to check the clues of classics in the palace, but he could not find any relevant information at all.
Cao Huachun's expression also had a little more messy look, "The East Factory and the Jinyiwei have already disguised themselves and contacted those people many times. How to say that, the deputy envoy of the fourth-rank Xuanwei, who was the leader, was quite handsome, not only familiar with the classics, but also knowledgeable. He is undoubtedly a pure scholar of the Ming Dynasty, but there are many Jinyiwei who returned overseas who are not etiquette."
"However, the Jinyiwei is not a scholar after all. It has been overseas for hundreds of years. For more than ten generations, it is not strange that many of my emperor etiquette will be forgotten."
The Ming Dynasty, which had not yet experienced social beatings, is still the country of the Celestial Empire at this moment, and is the best in the world. It instinctively believes that overseas is a wild place.
So, it is not normal and logical that a group of Jinyiwei has been left overseas for hundreds of years, and has gradually become wilderness from civilization and has almost been transformed into rudeness?
Only Li Weixian, a scholar who has always been following tradition and never forgets to learn from generation to generation, can maintain a somewhat civilized appearance.
After pausing, Cao Huachun's expression became even more strange, "Your Majesty, when our Dongchang Actor and the Jinyiwei were secretly observing in private, I heard a very outrageous news, and I didn't know whether I should say it."
Zhu Youjian's face remained unchanged, "Say."
Cao Huachun coughed lightly, looked at him carefully, and then said, "The naturalized pirate Zheng Zhilong has been setting up checkpoints in the Southeast Sea area and charging tolls for passing merchant ships."
Zhu Youjian grabbed a cup of tea and laughed while drinking, "That's all, what's so nervous about?"
Cao Huachun secretly said Zhu Youjian's first year of 10 years, "The toll collected by Zheng Zhe every year is as high as tens of millions of taels of silver, which is the total tax revenue of my Emperor Ming in the three years!"
"Puff~"
Zhu Youjian sprayed half of the table with a mouthful of tea and looked at Cao Huachun incredibly, "Why are you making trouble? A pirate collects tolls, tens of millions of taels of silver a year, and the total taxes of the Ming Dynasty for three years?"
Cao Huachun was calm, and he had already stimulated the stimulation he should have. "These information must be exaggerated, and I don't believe it, but even if it is exaggerated ten times, Zheng Zhe only charges one-third of the tolls of one million taels of silver a year, which is one-third of the taxes in our dynasty year."
"But this money was taken away by the Zheng family and at most it was given to Xiong Wencan a little bit."
Zhu Youjian suddenly stood up and paced around the palace. After walking for several times, he couldn't help but sigh, "Is this the news circulating from the Jinyiwei who returned from overseas? They all knew that I had never heard of it at all, hahahaha~"
"There are five hundred Chongzhen rifles, including Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Yan Yingyuan and Qin Liangyu, and the Ming Dynasty's military power on land, no longer fears any enemies, but at sea?"
maritime?
Cao Huachun also smiled helplessly, "Your Majesty, although several immortal lords have traveled all over the world and left the capital for seven or eight days, the more than 300 invincible factory guards and Eunuch Tian in the era of Grandpa Wanli can still contact you. Can you ask them to help us?"
"If you don't say anything else, find out how much toll fee the Zheng family charges a year. Please ask Eunuch Tian to go and get 70% to 80% of the head office? I am just short of money in the Ming Dynasty. If I have money, the chaos in Shaanxi will be quickly put down."
