Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 221
Zhu Youjian definitely didn't know about this wave of idealistic manipulation.

However, with the implementation of these idealistic operations by the Qing army, Zhu Youjian encountered difficulties instead.

It was the same as Dorgon and others thought.

If possible, he really intends to reproduce the previous operation of building slaves in Ningyuan, cutting off the back road, besieging the isolated city, constantly harassing the city with cannons, and lighting the city on fire from time to time.

Although it is unlikely that there will be an insurgent army that can approach the capital in the Qing Dynasty, the black flag navy can cooperate with the Ming army in Shandong to launch an attack on Tianjin during the siege.

If the Ming army as the main force will work hard enough, it will only be a matter of time before Ningyuan, an isolated city outside the pass, will be captured.

But not now.

The combined strength of the three guards behind Ningyuan City and the troops stationed at Shanhaiguan is almost [-].

If this kills the one who was besieged in the past, it will be Zhengheiqi.

There are a lot of heavy artillery in Ningyuan City, if they attack the opposing artillery forcefully, the Zhengheiqi Artillery Battalion may be defeated by the red cannons of Manqing.

The 12-pound red-clothed cannon that Ao Bai pulled out before was fine, as long as the firepower is suppressed, it will be fine.

But Dorgon transferred several 18-pound guns. This kind of heavy gun that is the pinnacle of the world must be respected.

"I wrote a letter to Lin Qingye, the chief soldier of the Daming Navy, thanking him for supporting Jinzhou with the generals of the navy. Although he was late due to the vast sea, there is still a city in Ningyuan in Jinzhou, and the general's help is still needed.
Here is the previous strategy to advance Tianjin, and finally attach gifts, fifty gold and one thousand silver, ten ginseng, and one tiger fur coat. Ningyuan will talk about it after the spring sowing. "

"What are you doing standing there in a daze?"

Putting on a crimson variegated robe with a collar, wearing a net towel and a crown, Jiao Boqing couldn't hide the emotion on his face, and looked at Pei Wu, who was also dressed in the Han family, watching the busy figure coming and going at the pier With a dazed look, he couldn't help but pat him on the back.

"I haven't seen a scene like this in two years. I almost didn't recognize you when I changed clothes before. I'm used to seeing your ferocious barbarian face full of beards."

Jiao Boqing sneered: "Who isn't?"

"Come on, you can be your Han official, I have to go find the prince."

"Okay, you go first, I'll take care of the unloading and come when I find time."

Just as he was turning back, a hand reached out to Jiao Boqing.

"What's this?"

"Yinzi, I don't mean to buy a horse, you have to find a car, right? Haizhou is so far away from Nanjing."

"Hiss, don't you?"

"Your Majesty ordered me to accompany the team to Nanjing, so I came. I left in a hurry and forgot to bring my money. You are in charge of tribute business, so I have to ask you for it. If I can't, I will ask Deyan for it." also."

Jiao Boqing was speechless, he could only grope around his body, and took out two strings of copper coins and a few small silver ingots.

"That's all I have on my body, it's not enough for us to go back and get it."

Pei Wu grabbed the money and put it in his arms: "It's enough to find a car, you are also a celebrity around His Majesty, and you can't receive a gift if you are doing the job of the chief assistant, so you just carry this on your body?"

"If you bring too much silver, you will be in a panic. You can use the money to find the prince, the prince has it."

"Let's go and talk! Let's go!"

After cupping his hands, Pei Wu turned around, stepped off the boat, and left the pier quickly.

After being able to enter Haizhou Well, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Daming's sweet air.

Well, it's not as sweet as Pei Wu imagined.

It is mixed with cow and horse manure and all kinds of messy smells.

"Officer? Do you want a car?"

Just after taking a breath, there was a yelling sound from the side.

A donkey cart with a shed was parked not far away, and the old man who drove it was bowing his hands towards Pei Wu.

"I want to go to Nanjing, please tell me where the car is located."

"Yo!"

The old man stretched his neck immediately when he heard the words, and slapped the little apprentice beside him who was holding hands: "Go and get someone to take over!"

After speaking, the passenger behind the car cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry."

Then he got out of the car and approached Pei Wu.

"How about the officials just hire me this car? It's newly oiled this year! At night, you can sleep in it as soon as you close the windows. The villain and his apprentice can make a nest outside the car! Old man, my house is outside the city. There is also a donkey, pulling the two together will definitely not miss your business!"

Pei Wu supported the handle of the knife and leaned over to look at the old man's donkey cart. Seeing that Pei Wu also got out of the cart, the passengers in the cart followed the guidance of the old man's apprentice and waited for another donkey cart to approach.

"The car is good, how about the price?"

"Hey, sir, you came from the north by crossing the sea. I have sent a lot of people from the north this month. The price is 20 taels of silver!"

Pei Wu frowned, reached into his bosom and took out an exquisite silver ingot.

"Just 15 taels."

"It's done!"

The old man stretched out his hand to grab it, Pei Wu slapped off the chicken paw, and found out the broken silver stolen from Jiao Boqing.

"This is a fixed payment, and it will be settled together when we arrive at the place."

"Hey, hey! Do what the officials say! Please get in the car!"

After getting in the car, we quickly got out of this crowded small town of Haizhou.

Amidst the cursing of the old coachman, Pei Wu also knew why this small town was so crowded.

Originally, Haizhou was the center of maritime smuggling and trade in the east of Daming, and the Zheng family couldn't stop the Japanese smuggling boats coming one after another.

then.

A while ago, His Majesty the Emperor opened Haizhou as a foreign trade port, and it was also the second legal official foreign port in the entire Ming Dynasty.

But that's okay.

It's just that the private port has been turned into a regular one.

Moreover, due to the geographical location, it can basically only face North Korea and Japan, and the Zheng family is also involved, and the chain of interests is not involved.

The main reason why this place has become so lively, civil engineering is booming, and business is flourishing.

It is also the main export commodity here.

Sugar.

The high output lowered the market price, making white sugar gradually enter the low-end market, but also affected the nerves of countless people because of the huge price difference.

Those foreign businessmen and missionaries in Nanjing are going crazy.

That's white sugar!
It is only worthy of having on the dining table of the noble and the rich!

How long has it been!Because of the extrusion of white sugar, the price of street sugar products and desserts in the surrounding cities of Nanjing in Ming Dynasty has dropped a lot, and the variety has also increased rapidly.

Nanjing has also rapidly become a big sugar consumer, and the development of sugar-related industries is almost endless.

For some people, the eyes are red.

This does not pull out to sell! ?
Merchants are buying like crazy!

The missionaries were crazy about getting the technology in the sugar factory.

White sugar is fine.

Directly harvest the wealth of the middle and upper classes.

If this technology is taken back, Wan Guan's wealth will be cursed.

However, Zhu Yujian, who spent half his life in prison, was really poor. Compared with him, Chongzhen, the great landlord, was not poor at all.

The security of the sugar factory was worse than that of the imperial palace. The employees were all recruited from the relatives of the Tang Dynasty's mansion before Nanyang was enfeoffed, and they also took care of the low-level clans of the Ming Dynasty who had no way to survive and planted sugar cane.

Zhu Yujian is more comprehensive than missionaries.

White sugar is great.

To reap the wealth of the upper class, as long as you bear a little reputation for corrupting Nongsang, the rule of the people and money will come, and you can also develop a series of industrial chains and interest chains through white sugar, and win over a group of courtiers.

"It's getting better."

Leaving Haizhou City, there is still a lot of traffic outside, people's voices are constantly neighing, and there are a lot of new buildings outside the city. It seems that many people want to take advantage of the new seaport.

The old man driving the car heard Pei Wu murmuring behind him, and replied casually with a smile: "Thanks to His Majesty's kindness, our life here is okay."
