Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 190

Zhao Wen looked at Chongzhen, and said slowly: "Your servant takes orders, but when should I come to present the prisoners? This minister has no idea.

What's more, although Jiannu has been defeated and the siege of the capital has been broken, Huang Taiji's soldiers and horses still have strength.

According to the Tanmalai report, now Huang Taiji and others have gone to Zunhua, with Zunhua as the center, attacking towns in all directions, and looting the people. "

Chongzhen pinched the beard that had just sprouted on his chin, and after a while, Chongzhen said: "Zhao Aiqing don't have to worry, I have already issued the order of the world's soldiers and horses to serve the king, and the soldiers and horses of the world's king of Qin will return to the capital in a few days."

"If this is the case, that would be great. Although our troops are powerful, the number of them is too small, and the Jiannu are all cavalry. If our troops want to pursue them, it will not be easy." Zhao said. Wen looked at Chongzhen and said slowly.

There is nothing wrong with what Zhao Wen said. If Jiannu came to attack, or Zhao Wen went to attack the city of Jiannu, then Zhao Wen dare to say that as many Jiannu came, they would die.

But if you chase Jiannu in the wild, even if you can defeat Jiannu, it is not easy to beat Jiannu like this time.

After all, Jiannu can still run if he can't beat him. With this run, Jiannu's troops will be dispersed. Once dispersed, it may be difficult to win such a big victory like this time.

Chongzhen said: "Zhao Aiqing don't have to worry, I am very generous to the meritorious ministers, since you have already solved the siege of the capital, then I will definitely not do that kind of thing, and I will not let you Your soldiers and horses are in a state of exhaustion.

When the soldiers and horses from all over the world gather in the capital, if the Jiannu have not retreated at this time, then I will issue an imperial decree to let the soldiers and horses from all over the world launch a general attack on Jiannu. "

Chongzhen's eyes were full of excitement, how could he now have the embarrassment he felt when Jiannu just besieged the capital?
"Your Majesty said so!" Zhao Wen looked at the excited Chongzhen, and answered without a word.

Chongzhen chatted with Zhao Wen like this, and he didn't know what to talk about, but suddenly it involved Zhao Wen and the businessman.

Chongzhen looked at Zhao Wen, with a look of displeasure on his face, he couldn't help asking: "Zhao Aiqing, there is one thing I can't understand, that is, you are an imperial official, why do you want to get involved with businessmen?"

Zhao Wenchang sighed and said: "Your Majesty doesn't know something. The minister is poor, the minister is really too poor. The minister wants nothing, no one, no money, no money, and soldiers, no money. No way. If I didn't get involved with those merchants, I would have died of poverty. If Your Majesty can allocate enough money to me, I will immediately distance myself from those merchants."

When Chongzhen heard that Zhao Wen wanted to ask him for money, he said with embarrassment: "Ahem, Zhao Aiqing, sometimes it's good to get involved with businessmen. Zhao Aiqing's ability to use businessmen to raise soldiers is also a skill. I appreciate that very much.”

Huh, appreciate it?I think you don't want to give me military pay, do you?Just now you looked like it was not difficult, but now when you hear that I am poor and afraid that I will ask for military pay, you immediately change your face and say that this is also a kind of skill, and your ability to do it yourself is quite invincible.

Zhao Wen looked at Chongzhen and couldn't help but slander him.

"Zhao Aiqing, what do you think about Jiannu breaking through the Xifeng Pass this time?" Chongzhen was afraid that Zhao Wen would ask him for military pay, so he hastily changed the topic.

Zhao Wen frowned and said, "Your Majesty, there is a lot of trickery in the reason why Jiannu can break through the gate of Xifeng."

"Sticky? What tricky?" Chongzhen immediately became interested, leaned forward, and looked at Zhao Wen seriously.

Zhao Wen let out a long breath and said: "The reason why Jiannu was able to break through the gate of Xifeng this time is because someone tipped off the news. Otherwise, how could Jiannu break through the gate of Xifeng so easily? ?”

When Chongzhen heard this, he narrowed his eyes, and there was a murderous look in his eyes.

It has not yet been the second anniversary of boarding the plane, but now the capital is besieged by Jiannu soldiers. This is the first time in the history of the Ming Dynasty.Even the siege of Alda during the Jiajing period did not happen when he just became emperor.

Now when Chongzhen heard that there was something tricky in it, he instantly became murderous.

"How do you know? Who is the person who tipped off the news? And how did he do the tipping?" Chongzhen looked at Zhao Wen with a murderous expression.

Zhao Wen said slowly: "Your Majesty may not believe it, but I learned about it by accident. The content of the tip-off is nothing but the defense plan at Xifengkou."

"What? The defense map? Or the defense map at Xifengkou? What's going on here? Please tell me in detail." Chongzhen said with a murderous look on his face.

Zhao Wen looked at the furious Chongzhen and sighed, "Oh, Your Majesty, I found out about this by accident, and I originally wanted to report this matter to the imperial court, but I was afraid that I would say it, and no one would listen. After all, the official position of the minister is too small, and the words of the minister are not enough."

"Zhao Aiqing, don't be afraid, tell me everything you know, and if anyone dares to touch you, I will make the decision for you." Chongzhen slapped the table and said angrily.

Zhao Wen looked at Chongzhen like this, and said to himself: "Hehe, Shanxi merchants, this time I will kill you all, and let you earn so much money from me. It's time for you to spit it out."

"Your Majesty, it looks like this." After speaking, Zhao Wen told Fan Zheng's affairs in detail.

It's just that it's definitely not the original thing. It perfectly avoids itself in it, and then speaks out the crimes of the Shanxi merchants in a more eloquent way.

Sure enough, after hearing Zhao Wen's words, Chongzhen was furious instantly.

"These offal, well, it's really good, these people deserve to be killed one by one.

These people are indeed mercenary and do not recognize their ancestors.

It was not without reason that Emperor Taizu Gao degraded merchants to low status.

These businessmen are really too arrogant. If they don't clean up now, I'm afraid they will be able to sell my country tomorrow. "Chongzhen said coldly with a murderous look in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, why are Shanxi merchants so rampant? Why don't they take the imperial court seriously? If there is nothing else in it, the minister would not believe it at all." Zhao Wen said fearing that the world would not be chaotic.

"Oh? What do you say?"

"Your Majesty, think about it, why are the Shanxi Merchants so deeply entrenched in the important towns on the Nine Borders? Besides, the defense line at Xifengkou is an important border defense area of ​​the imperial court. Why can the Shanxi Merchants get the defense map so easily? If there is no Other things, I absolutely do not believe.

In addition, Shanxi merchants not only gave the defense plan to Jiannu this time, but also ignored the court's laws and smuggled contraband such as salt and iron to the grassland Tartars and Jiannu.If His Majesty doesn't believe it, you can send someone to the Nine Borders Town to have a look. "

Zhao Wen sat on the chair, spoke righteously, and said loudly.

Chongzhen listened to Zhao Wen's words, and couldn't help nodding, "What Zhao Aiqing said is very reasonable. If there is no collusion between officials, I really don't believe that a small businessman can steal the defense map of Xifengkou? Are all merchants gods? Hmph, sooner or later, I will get rid of these moths of the imperial court."

"Your Majesty, if Your Majesty wants to deal with it, I think His Majesty should deal with those Shanxi merchants first. If you deal with officials first, it's not certain whether these officials will jump the wall in a hurry and incite those businessmen to do something unspeakable. After all, these Businessmen are very rich, if they want to do something, maybe, maybe..." Zhao Wen looked at Chongzhen with a strange light in his eyes.

Before Zhao Wen could finish speaking, Chongzhen shouted directly: "Okay, don't talk about it. Just follow what you said, deal with businessmen first, and then deal with officials.

Cao Daban, I will leave this matter to you, and you will be fully responsible. After the establishment of slaves is over, you will lead Jinyiwei and Dongchang to Datong and other places in secret.Before that, let me find out all the officials of the Shanxi merchant faction in the imperial court.After the Shanxi merchants are wiped out, I will definitely not let these officials go.

What's more, this matter is not allowed to be leaked to me. If it is leaked out, I will ask you. "

Chongzhen is not a fool, he can naturally hear the meaning from Zhao Wen's words.

Indeed, according to what Zhao Wen said, if the officials are really dealt with first, then if these officials jump the wall in a hurry, tell the news to Shanxi merchants, and then instigate them again, maybe something unspeakable will really happen.

If Shanxi merchants are dealt with first, as long as the news is blocked.The officials of these Shanxi merchant factions are like ducklings without soil, and it is much easier to deal with them.

Cao Huachun hurriedly knelt on the ground and made a big salute.

"Follow the emperor's will, I will absolutely keep my mouth shut, and handle this matter perfectly." Cao Huachun said excitedly with a strange light flashing in his eyes.

If you want to say what these eunuchs love to do most, copying other people's homes must be one of them.

Home raids are the most profitable, the quickest, and the most lucrative thing.Not only did the emperor like it, but even the eunuchs, Jinyiwei and those in Dongchang liked it very much.

When Chongzhen raided Wei Zhongxian's home, he didn't know how many people he fattened up.

Overnight, there were countless people in the capital who bought land and houses with a lot of money.

This is now a search of Shanxi merchants, who are one of the richest merchants.Not to mention copying all Shanxi merchants, just copying one or two is enough to feed hundreds of ordinary people for a lifetime.

"My lord, in fact, he is not only an official of the Shanxi merchants and the Shanxi merchant faction, there is a person in our court who is even lower than the officials of the Shanxi merchants and the Shanxi merchant faction." Cao Huachun stood up from the ground, and his face flashed A trace of coldness.

Chongzhen looked at Cao Huachun and said coldly, "Who else?"

"Back to the emperor, it's Yuan Chonghuan." Cao Huachun's eyes flashed fiercely.

"Yuan Chonghuan? What did you find?" Chongzhen asked in a low voice.

Cao Huachun said: "My lord, it's like this. You asked me to investigate Yuan Chonghuan in Liaodong last time. Although I didn't find any clues about Yuan Chonghuan at that time, I left a few spies in Yuan Chonghuan's army just to be on the safe side. It is used to secretly investigate Yuan Chonghuan. If you don’t investigate, you don’t know. Once you investigate, you will be shocked.”

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Chongzhen leaned forward and squinted at Cao Huachun.

Cao Huachun sneered and said, "My lord, two months before Huang Taiji dispatched troops, my spies sent me a secret report. But I don't believe the contents of this secret report, but today It seems that I just feel that the things in that secret report are very likely to be true."

"What's the matter?" Chongzhen asked.

Cao Huachun said: "My lord, the secret report at that time said that Yuan Chonghuan once met a man with a money rattail one night.

The few spies I left felt that something was a little strange, so they pretended to be a servant serving tea and went to inquire about it.

But when he just served the tea, Yuan Chonghuan drove him away.While leaving, my spy vaguely heard what Yuan Chonghuan and the man with the money rat tail said about Xifengkou, the capital city and so on.

When I received this secret report, Jiannu hadn't broken through the pass, so I didn't notice it. Now, after hearing what General Zhao said, I feel more and more unusual about it. "

Although Cao Huachun only said half of what he said, it did not affect Chongzhen's understanding.

"Hmph, this Yuan Chonghuan is a traitor and loyal. No wonder Jiannu can run from Shanhaiguan to Xifengkou without a sound. It turns out that Yuan Chonghuan was playing tricks on him.

Cao Daban, I order you to investigate Yuan Chonghuan's matter now, and collect evidence of his collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. I must kill him alive. Chongzhen slapped the table and shouted sharply.

When Cao Huachun sent Zhao Wen out, the sun had gradually moved to the west.

Cao Huachun stood outside the palace gate, looked at Zhao Wen, and said slowly: "General Zhao, after the Jiannu issue is resolved, I will rely on you when I go to Datong Town and Xuanfu Town to do business."

Chongzhen may not have a concept of how powerful Shanxi merchants are, but Cao Huachun has some understanding.Can the Shanxi merchants who control the grain and salt business in the entire north of Ming Dynasty be weak?It is true that Shanxi merchants are a piece of fat, but if you don't have a good set of teeth, it is not so easy to swallow them.

"Haha, Eunuch Cao, what you said is a little off-putting. Aren't we all working for the court? When the time comes, as long as you say a word, I will lead the troops to help at any time." Zhao Wen said with a smile.

"Okay, since that's the case, the miscellaneous family will thank General Zhao first." Cao Huachun said with a smile on his face.

Zhao Wen cupped his hands at Cao Huachun, and said, "Eunuch Cao, as long as you can tell me the affairs of the court in advance, after the Shanxi merchants are dealt with, the vacant shares in the cement factory will be indispensable to Eunuch Cao."

"Haha, it's easy to talk, easy to talk, everything is easy to talk about, don't we all work for the emperor?" Cao Huachun laughed like a flower when he heard that Zhao Wen was going to give him shares again.

Zhao Wen took the whip from Zhao Daniu, stepped on the horse, and said to Cao Huachun, "Eunuch Cao, then I will go."

As he spoke, Zhao Wen flicked his horsewhip and disappeared outside the palace gate.

On the way back, Zhao Daniu looked at Zhao Wen with a puzzled expression, "My lord, why do you still want to give that old eunuch a share?"

"Yeah, why did you give him shares again?" Song Hu also echoed.

Zhao Wen looked at the duo in doubt, and said, "It's just an exchange of benefits between me and him when we spend money to do things. That's all, let's not talk about these things, let's go back quickly, there are still things for you to do later."
