Chongzhen chat group

Chapter 1127 Mughal Empire

Hearing this, Ruan Fuyuan's face became slightly grim, and he lowered his head and thought about it.

After hearing this, George wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything in the end. He just looked at Ruan Fuyuan, waiting for him to understand.

After a while, I saw Ruan Fuyuan raised his head, his face had become extremely ferocious, his eyes were red, and he shouted in a low voice: "Okay, I will do as you say!"

Obviously, the dog jumped the wall in a hurry!

It must be a dead word to stay here, so why not give it a go!

The next morning, the first day of the new year, for Chinese people, there is a custom of keeping the year old. Therefore, on the first day of the new year, most people get up late.Even Emperor Chongzhen was no exception.

The first thing he did after waking up was to enter the chat group to check the situation, only to find that there were private chat messages waiting to be read, most of which were sent by Zhu Xieyuan.

"Your Majesty, Annan Ruan Fuyuan and Frangji's allied forces fled last night. All the wounded soldiers in their allied army were killed by themselves. Now go west."

"Weichen has ordered the troops of the various guards in Yunnan to move eastward, and it is estimated that they will meet in a few days."

"The Ruan family's allied forces seem to be in a hurry to jump over the wall. I think that for the sake of prudence, we should mobilize the white army and go east together to sit in town!"

Emperor Chongzhen saw it, and he really felt like jumping over the wall in a hurry.It's true to say, even killed his own wounded soldiers, wouldn't it be good to stay?At least there is a chance of survival, right?
At this time, he didn't think much about it.Zhu Xieyuan was in command of the war on Annan's side, so he was very relieved.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen did not care too much.However, the coalition forces of Ruan Fuyuan and the Portuguese escaped from Thang Long Mansion, which also meant that Annan was basically under the control of the Ming army.In this way, the matter of King Fu feuding Annan should also be put on the agenda!
In this way, there are two vassal kings who will be sealed out.The original fiefdoms of these two vassal kings were both in Henan.One is Nanyang and the other is Luoyang.With just such a distribution, the land in Henan Province can be released.

Very good, the next step is to plan the enfeoffment of the third vassal king!Where should I choose the third vassal king?
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

No one expected that two days later, the Jinyiwei in Annan suddenly reported through the chat group that the coalition forces of the Ruan family and the Frangji people suddenly turned to the southwest and went to Laosi.

Hearing the news, Zhu Xieyuan immediately redeployed troops and condemned the generals through the chat group. While chasing the enemy, after thinking about it, he reported to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the remnants of the Ruan family and the Frangji people fled desperately to Laos. Si, the mountain is high and dangerous, and it is very difficult to walk. If our army continues to pursue, the logistical burden will be heavy. The more troops chasing, the heavier the burden will be. I think that the poor should not pursue!"

"Of course, the rebel army must not be let go. You can inform the Laosi side of the news and let them surround the remnant army. If necessary, I will send elite troops to Laosi to arrest the traitors and traitors! "

After Emperor Chongzhen went online, he saw that for some reason, the first thing he thought of was to implement the strategy of driving the land to drive away the wolf and the tiger.However, Laosi is not a tiger in any case.This remnant army of the Ruan family and the Portuguese cannot be regarded as a wolf.If you really want to talk about a wolf, it is just a disabled wolf that is dying.

After thinking about it for a while, he didn't think about it any more.As Zhu Xieyuan said, it is unrealistic for the Ming army to continue chasing the enemy. Not only is the logistical pressure too great, but this kind of pursuit also consumes a lot of money and food.In order to allow as many guard troops as possible to have the opportunity to train, this time, not only the money of King Fu was used, but also a lot of money and food from the court.Now that the Ming Dynasty is thriving, all the money and food cannot be spent on the mountains of Annan and Laos.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen replied to Zhu Xieyuan: "Just as Zhu Qing said, but there is one thing that must be done: Ruan Fuyuan and the Governor-General of Folang Jiren, they must see people when they are alive, and they must see corpses when they die. , must be severely punished!"

Afterwards, Emperor Chongzhen sent someone to inform King Fu that Annan had been obtained, and King Fu could prepare to go to Annan to take up the feudal domain.

After Fu Wang received the decree, he was relieved.What he fears most is that Annan will not be able to beat him for a long time.Then his little money may not be enough even if it is exhausted.Now that he has been defeated by the imperial court, he has a little more expectation.

In the past, if he didn't compete with Chongzhen's father, he couldn't taste the taste of the Ninth Five-Year King; now that he has won the blessing of the country, he can taste the taste of a promise.Thinking of this, he hurried to Guangdong with his eldest son Zhu Yousong who was also extremely happy, and when he was ready, he went to Fan Annan.

The taste that Fu Wang wanted to taste was already enjoyed by Tang Wang.Especially after the imperial army withdrew to Yunnan Province, the entire Tang Kingdom was decided by him with one word.It's interesting to be a vassal king like this!
In this way, he had a very happy Chinese New Year this year. In the palace, when receiving congratulations from all the officials, he was even more grinning from ear to ear!

On this day, while he was dealing with state affairs, suddenly, one of his generals came to report in a hurry: "Your Highness, he has been found on the trail of King Long!"

"What? His trace of King Long?" King Tang immediately put down the things in his hands, stared at the visitor and asked, "Where is it?"

If there is any hidden worry in his Tang Kingdom, it is the King Yuan Dongwu Talong who has never seen anyone alive or dead.In the Tang Dynasty, the original Dongwu people were not extinct, and they are all his subjects now.If it takes longer, he believes that these Dongwu people will no longer miss the old master. After all, he believes that his hard work can make these original Dongwu people return to their hearts.

But now, the imperial army has just withdrawn to Yunnan, and his Tang country has only been in operation for less than a year. With all kinds of waste waiting to be done, sometimes, some places can't be taken care of. Besides, it is inevitable to favor one over another.I rely on Daming to rule the Tang Kingdom, and my confidantes, civil servants and generals are also from Daming, so the national policy is naturally to favor the Daming who come from Daming to rely on me.For this point, Tang Wang is still very clear.

Now that he suddenly heard of King Long's presence, it was impossible for him not to take it seriously.

"Returning to Your Highness, the people under the last general saw him, King Long, in Dhaka, the capital of the Mughal Empire's Bengal province. His arm was broken, and he seemed to be much older, but it was indeed him." The general reported here, Emphasizing the tone, "King Talong entered and exited the Governor's Mansion of Bangladesh, it seems that he has colluded with the Mughal Empire!"

"What?" King Tang was very surprised when he heard the news.From the period when he arrived in Yunnan and established the Tang State in Dongwu, it is impossible not to know the neighboring countries of his own country.

It is said that the Mughal Empire, like the Ming Dynasty, had a very large territory.The founding emperor was Babur, a descendant of the Turkic Mongol Timur. After the collapse of the Timur Empire, he led troops south to establish the Mughal Empire.Today, the Mughal Empire is its fourth emperor, and Shah Jahan, known as the Great Khan, should be in power.At this time, the Mughal Empire was unprecedentedly powerful. It has been fighting south and north with almost no opponents.

"Return to Your Highness. Specifically, what King Talong and the Mughal governor of Bengal said, the general is incompetent, and we can't find out for the time being!"

King Tang frowned when he heard this, and even stood up, wandering around in the hall. After a while, he stopped, turned around and stared at the general and said, "Check it out, let Gu check it out!"

"The final general obeys the order!" The coming general bowed and withdrew.

But Tang Wang couldn't put this matter behind him. After thinking for a while, he sent an order to call his subordinates to discuss this matter.Finally, it was decided to send an official official envoy to the dignitaries of the Governor-General of Bangladesh.This King Talong is a traitor of the Damingdong Wu Xuanwei Envoy, and must be arrested and brought to justice.

After this matter was arranged, King Tang was relieved.At this court meeting, he was reminded by his courtiers that the Tang Kingdom was backed by Daming, no matter how powerful the Mughal Empire was, could it be stronger than Daming?
Thinking about it, the current Daming is also unprecedentedly powerful!Mongolia, Liaodong, and Korea are all part of the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no threatening opponent in the north of the Ming Dynasty.The chieftain rebellion in Yunnan has been suppressed by the imperial court, and Annan will soon have a new Fuguo.

All these things gave King Tang confidence.Therefore, he believed that the envoy he sent was in the identity of Daming. The Mughal Empire would never be able to make trouble with Daming for a person who lost his land and army, right?
Thinking of this, he put the matter behind him.As the vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, the Tang Kingdom is not wrong to say that it is the Ming Dynasty.Although your Mughal Empire is powerful, can it be stronger than Ming Dynasty?No matter what, you must give Daming some face, right?His fate as King Long, if nothing else, was already doomed since he was discovered.

On the 15th day of the first lunar month, when the people of Ming Dynasty were about to celebrate the Lantern Festival on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the "New Salt Law" finally spread to the Jiangnan area. Immediately, the sensation caused by the "New Salt Law" was greater than that of the Emperor Ming Dynasty who personally confiscated Liaodong. Still a sensation.All of a sudden, the "New Salt Law" was discussed in every area in the south of the Yangtze River, on the streets and alleys of every city and town.

Just like the people in the capital, most of the people in the Jiangnan area were very happy when they heard about it.The price of salt that plagued every household has finally come down.However, in many rich and powerful families, there are groups of people discussing matters behind closed doors.One by one, they slapped the table and scolded everyone, and scolded whoever they thought of. Among the princes above the court, Wen Tiren was scolded the most. The remarks of "being plagued" were the words of "being plagued" that appeared in the original history. , the most common, saying that ever since Wen Tiren became the chief assistant, the scholars of the Ming Dynasty have suffered from the plague, and they dare not say that the merchants have suffered, after all, the merchants are not valued legally!
Cutting off people's money is like killing their parents.Those salt merchants and private salt dealers, and even the officials of the Yanke Transshipment Department, became extremely dishonest.Everyone clamored and slapped the table, and the court must not let the "New Salt Law" be implemented.

However, after the meeting ended, more salt merchants decided to lower the price of salt as soon as possible, and sell more while the price is still high.Some people even frantically collect smuggled salt and sell it as official salt, hoping to reduce their losses.

This kind of operation is like a plague, spreading extremely fast. Everywhere, a salt merchant does this, and other salt merchants have to follow up.While cursing, sell at a reduced price to minimize losses.

This situation is actually understandable. These salt merchants are rich, but apart from money, what else do they use to fight against the court?Is there a barrel of a gun?No!Is there a spokesperson for the court?Zhou Yanru, who wanted to support him, has been dismissed for a long time. Besides, what if there is a spokesperson in the court?Can you go higher than Shoufu?How about the Ministry of Officials?If you accept the money, you will be dismissed as soon as you say you are dismissed. You may not be able to send out the money from your salt merchant now. Who knows if it will be detected by the factory guard?In the past, they could still bribe the official censor to attack, but now that the Metropolitan Procuratorate has been reorganized, who would dare to spray it?
Of course, not all salt merchants scolded the "New Salt Law". Those who had salt quotations in their hands, but it didn't matter, had been unable to exchange them for table salt from the saltworks, and the salt quotations in their hands were like waste paper.But the "New Salt Law" stipulates that the salt quotations issued before are still valid and can be exchanged for table salt at the salt farm.Although the price of salt will drop, at least it can be exchanged for table salt, which is somewhat better than before.

In short, in terms of salt administration, because of the announcement of the "New Salt Law", especially in the south of the Yangtze River, there is almost chaos.The price of salt is one price per day, or even several prices per day.Corresponding to this, the production and sale of table salt has also become crazy, all thinking of making more money before the "New Salt Law" is finally implemented.

However, this situation did not last long. Wang Chengen, the admiral of the East Factory, suddenly appeared in Yangzhou, leading a large number of factory guards and nearby guard troops, and successively arrested hundreds of private salt teams. What is even more sensational is , Pan Ru, a great salt merchant, was also arrested at the same time.The crime is to sell illegal salt, and the official salt is sold as illegal salt.

The momentum was so great that Pan Ru's charges were publicly interrogated in the Yangzhou government, and the people were allowed to observe. With the evidence of the crime, he even followed the vines and arrested the officials of the Yanke Transshipment Department in Yangzhou, who were also taken down by Wang Chengen.In the end, the homes of the relevant families were ransacked and exiled to the bitter cold of Liaodong.

What shocked Jiangnan was that, not only that, Zhang Pu, the leader of the Fushe, was also arrested by the factory guards and interrogated publicly.There are two charges, one is to slander the important officials of the court, and the other is to disregard the teachings of the saints, colluding with Pan Ru, a great salt merchant, and being the minion of the salt merchant.He was in charge of education and politics, and publicly announced the removal of Zhang Pu's fame, and then Wang Cheng'en rewarded him with [-] boards, and also distributed him to Liaodong.

The admiral of Dongchang suddenly appeared in Yangzhou. He not only cleaned up the big salt merchants, but also taught Zhang Pu a lesson. These two things had a great impact on Jiangnan.For a long time, Jiangnan didn't feel the power of the court very much. This time, they really felt the power of thunder from the court.

Mr. Pingshu of the post station system, which has a large audience, made comments on this matter in unanimous agreement.The momentum was so great that it immediately overwhelmed the comments of the literati.Public opinion is under the control of the imperial court from beginning to end.

But before this matter reached its climax, another major event happened in the blink of an eye.
