Chapter 387 It's Interesting

September 23.

Yang's reform preparations "hastily" ended the early dynasty.

Today's early dynasty has become a place for officials to wrangle and dispute over trivial matters. In fact, the real decision-making and real affairs of the Ming Dynasty are not in the early dynasty. General affairs are all handled by the cabinet, or The emperor handles it in the Qianqing Palace. If it is a little complicated, he will go to the Wenhua Palace to discuss with the cabinet. For example, military affairs, such as wars outside the customs, this is basically a platform, which officials have always used to limit the financial power of the imperial power. , It doesn't work much nowadays, and most of the time it is the emperor himself who pays for the money.

But today, it was obvious that someone had been prepared to say something in the early court.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say." A minister said.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Yang Reform was about to end the early court, and the early court today was getting more and more boring.

"I report to Your Majesty that I want to impeach Mao Wenlong. Impeaching him has the heart of disobedience, the act of treason, and the three major crimes of slavery." The minister said a series of shocking words.

Yang Reform was also taken aback. It had been a long time since such a big event happened in the early court. If the impeachment was confirmed, it would be a storm.

"Oh, this Qing family, do you have evidence, or is it just a rumor?" Yang Reform asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I'm not just a rumor, but a fact." The official said with a serious face.

"Oh, take it up and have a look." Yang Reform said, the matter of Mao Wenlong was indeed a troublesome matter, Yang Reform secretly sighed, it seemed that someone in the court was going to talk about Mao Wenlong.

Wang Chengen took the memorial and passed it on to the emperor.

Yang Reform took a look, and sure enough, as he had guessed, Mao Wenlong's writing of the "rebellion letter" was singled out.Although Mao Wenlong had already "backed up" the "rebel letter" to himself in advance, in any case, writing this kind of letter is a big stain and a big bad disease.

"This Qing family is saying that Mao Wenlong had an affair with Donglu, and conspired with Donglu to conspire against me?" Yang Reform asked with a smile. Anyway, Mao Wenlong had to keep it by himself now.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, yes, I heard that Mao Wenlong had confessed to colluding with Donglu before the battle, saying that he wanted to conspire with me, Ming Dynasty, and even wrote a conspiracy letter to Donglu. Your Majesty, this is a serious crime of rebellion and rebellion. Do not check..."

"Oh, I know about what the Qing family said, but the Qing family doesn't think that Mao Wenlong killed 2000 Donglu people at one time. If it is said that he was a slave and conspired with the Donglu, this matter, the Qing family Do you think it is possible?" Yang Reform asked rhetorically.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I also know that Mao Wenlong fought against Donglu in Zhenjiang Fort and killed countless Donglu. He is Donglu's mortal enemy. However, Mao Wenlong did write a letter to conspire against me, Ming, and he did say that he would join Donglu. Your Majesty, this is enough to show that Mao Wenlong is rebellious, and it is enough to make Mao Wenlong a mortal enemy. Your Majesty, has there ever been a courtier who talked about rebellion and slaves? Your Majesty, I have always conspired against you, no matter what you say. , OK, are all important matters related to the country, and must not be tolerated, let alone laissez-faire, today Mao Wenlong can threaten to conspire with me, Daming, and His Majesty will not pursue it, and tomorrow Mao Wenlong will rebel, and His Majesty will not pursue it, so where should this be placed? If everyone follows Mao Wenlong's example of talking about rebellion and treason at every turn, Your Majesty, do you want this world?" The official said in a heartbroken voice.

Yang Reform sighed, the matter of Mao Wenlong really had to be dealt with as this official said, if people who talk about rebellion and treason in this way don't deal with it, then everyone will say what to do about rebellion ?At that time, it will be impossible to tell whether it is true or false. It can be said that it is the most taboo thing for feudal emperors.

However, now is obviously not the time to deal with Mao Wenlong. Mao Wenlong is now fighting to the death with wild boar skin. It is obviously impossible to deal with Mao Wenlong now. It will be a hellish blow to morale. If you deal with Mao Wenlong yourself, then, just like in history That's normal, what the enemy didn't do, what the wild boar skin didn't do; what the Ming Dynasty did inside, Yuan Chonghuan did.

"I know what the Qing family said. Mao Wenlong wrote the 'rebellion letter', and I also know all about the rebellion. I also have the 'rebellion letter' sent by Mao Wenlong. If Mao Wenlong really wanted to rebel, how could he?" Send the letter to me in advance? How could you kill [-] Donglu in Zhenjiang Fort? This is just to trick Donglu into being fooled..." Yang Reform said.

"...But, Your Majesty, this kind of person who talks about treason and rebellion, although he has not rebelled or conspired today, it is inevitable that he will not have that kind of thought in the future. Your Majesty, you should take precautions early. Your Majesty, you have always conspired." Rebellious things must not be tolerated! Let alone encourage them, once someone tries to follow suit, what should His Majesty do? At that time, everything will be difficult to distinguish between true and false, and it will definitely endanger the country..." The official persuaded earnestly .

"Well, I know about this matter. What the Qing family said makes sense. I will pay attention to it, and will strictly prohibit this aspect. Mao Wenlong is now fighting to the death with Donglu in Zhenjiang Fort, so please don't mention this again. It's something about it..." Yang Reform planned to stop this matter.

"Your Majesty, my minister..."

"Your Majesty,...you must not tolerate it!..."

"Your Majesty, please punish him severely..." Not only this official, but also many other officials came out to help, and it seemed that Mao Wenlong had to be dealt with.

Yang Reform knew that if things continued like this, he would suffer. What Mao Wenlong did was indeed a bad thing. Although he successfully used the letter of rebellion to attract the wild boar's attention and successfully killed two thousand people, but the truth of this matter The sequelae are obviously very serious. Now that the war is not over, there are so many people talking about it.

"Okay, everyone, the battle of Zhenjiang Fort is very important. It is related to the confrontation between Da Ming and Donglu, and it is related to the victory or defeat of our dynasty against Donglu. Don't mention this matter anymore. Could it be that you have to fight against Donglu? I can’t replace Mao Wenlong? Shaking the morale of the front line and the entire strategic situation, have you thought about the consequences?” Yang Reform said.

"Your Majesty, it is really inappropriate to change generals just before the battle. However, if this kind of thing is not stopped in time, the disaster will be even greater. Dongjiang Town is His Majesty's Dongjiang Town. Without Mao Wenlong, His Majesty can still send another general to go there." Sitting in town, but this treasonous matter has never been tolerated, has never been able to talk about love, and has never been tolerated..." An official said firmly.

"...Your Majesty, Zhenjiang Fort has failed, and you can come again. Daming's Jiangshan Sheji is gone. Your Majesty, then there is nothing. Although Mao Wenlong is heavy, it is not as heavy as Jiangshan Sheji..." A minister was heartbroken the way.

The ministers even spoke out one after another, threatening to put Mao Wenlong to death. Once this crime of treason was established, the fate can be imagined.

"Okay, I've made up my mind on this matter. You don't need to persuade me any more. I know how to do things..." Yang Reform said rather angrily. At this time, Yang Reform would never do anything to deal with Mao Wenlong. Said that Yang Reform would not pay attention.

"Your Majesty..." The officials rushed forward even more violently, and many of the emperors refused to agree, so they immediately knelt together.

Yang Reform looked quite boring. If it was before, he would still have a headache when he saw this formation, but now this formation has no pressure on him. Yang Reform has many ways to get rid of the courtiers' oppression on him.

"...Report..." The officials were arguing, but a shout from outside interrupted the dispute.

"...report...[-] miles away from the pass and hurry up..." a young eunuch hurriedly shouted.

"Brother, let's see what's going on?" Yang Reform said quickly, it's good to have something to interrupt this boring discussion, otherwise, it will be very annoying.

"Of order, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen agreed, and then went to see the Qibaili to hurry.

Wang Chengen looked at it for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong, hastened seven or eight miles. He said that on the [-]th, the Eastern captives attacked Lin Danhan's Xierha, Xibotu, Yingtangtu and other places. Lin Danhan suffered a heavy defeat. After the victory, the captives did not pursue them any further, but instead headed eastward, leaving only a small group of troops to collect the captives..."

The ministers have not yet reacted.

Sun Chengzong began to speak, and said: "Your Majesty, Donglu is afraid that he will increase his troops in Zhenjiang Fort, so he hastily left Lin Danhan behind and headed east. A bloody battle is about to begin at Mao Wenlong's place... Your Majesty, you should make preparations early!" Sun Chengzong saw that the ministers were pestering the emperor to deal with Mao Wenlong, and there was a tendency to change people, so he knew it was not good. How important is Mao Wenlong, and dealing with Mao Wenlong is not an exaggeration to say that the Great Wall will self-destruct. Therefore, after hearing the news, Mao Wenlong was immediately involved, so that the matter of dealing with Mao Wenlong and changing people could not be mentioned again.

After hearing the news from Wang Chengen and Sun Chengzong's judgment, the ministers suddenly realized that Mao Wenlong, whom he attacked fiercely today, was actually a "dying" person. Go to Zhenjiang Fort to pick up some military exploits or something, because fighting is too easy. How do you know that Zhenjiang Fort is a place of death today!Many ministers immediately dismissed the idea of ​​attacking Mao Wenlong again. Since Mao Wenlong likes to stay in Zhenjiang Fort, he should continue there. It is too dangerous to go to Zhenjiang Fort now.

"On the [-]th... have you already traveled east? How much did Lin Danhan lose?" Yang Reform asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, Yuan Chonghuan said in a letter that the Donghu brigade has indeed gone eastward. Only a small number of soldiers and horses and some tribes on the right wing of Mongolia are being captured everywhere. Lin Dan Khan lost about a few thousand troops and a lot of livestock. So, there is no detailed loss of Lin Danhan, and it will probably take a few days before there will be detailed news..." Wang Chengen said.

"Oh, that's it! I see." Yang Reform nodded thoughtfully. All of this was almost within his own expectations. Huang Taiji was going to fight Zhenjiang Fort as expected, and it was as expected. That way, Mao Wenlong won't be allowed to win chic.

All the ministers whispered to each other that Mao Wenlong was besieged today. Many people wanted to kill Mao Wenlong and replace him, because it was too easy to fight, and it was too easy to make military achievements. How could they know that things would be like this? Going forward to besiege, that is to say, there is a posture of immortality. If this is the case, Zhenjiang Fort will be in danger. Mao Wenlong only has less than 5000 people there. How can he defend against the onslaught of tens of thousands of people?Even if there are grenades defending the city, it may not be safe. After thinking about it and comparing it, the officials immediately came to the conclusion that it was impossible to get out. Therefore, no one mentioned Mao Wenlong's rebellious letter anymore.

Yang Reform had already prepared to take this opportunity to end the morning court, but he found that no one mentioned Mao Wenlong's matter anymore. This morning court, there is no need to rush to end the morning court, it can be taken leisurely.

"Your family, do you have anything else to play? If not, I will go to the platform to deal with the siege of Zhenjiang Fort by the Eastern Captives..." Seeing that no one mentioned Mao Wenlong's matter, Yang Reform made a point of showing off when he left. It seems to ask the officials once, lest the officials say that they are afraid and run away.

The ministers didn't speak for a long time, so Zhenjiang Fort is dead, so why fight?Then Mao Wenlong might be buried in Zhenjiang Fort, so what is there to impeach?Let's wait for Mao Wenlong to get through this battle first.

Smiling triumphantly, Yang Reform prepared to end the morning court and go to the platform.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report..." A minister hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to report the matter.

Yang Reform took a look and said, "Oh, what's the matter?"

"Report to Your Majesty, thanks to Your Majesty's blessings, the fishermen in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces can buy shares with their own strength, and if His Majesty sells silver in exchange for big boats, the harvest will be richer and life will gradually improve. This is His Majesty's benevolent government... The small people and businessmen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are also willing to use their strength to buy shares in exchange for His Majesty's big boats. Although they don't know how to fish, they know how to do business. They travel the canals, the Yellow River, and the Yangtze River all the year round. Buying shares and building big ships for them, they are willing to help His Majesty transport the disaster victims while doing business, so that the cost of transporting the disaster victims will be borne by these small people and businessmen, which will save your Majesty a lot of expenses..." The official first said After flattering for a long time, I said my purpose.

Yang Reform rubbed his ears, was he dreaming?Businessmen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang also want to build big ships for them?Also use your strength to invest in shares to help yourself transport the victims?It is said that you can save yourself a lot of transshipment costs?Are you dreaming or someone else is dreaming?

"Mr. Qing, what do you mean? I was confused for a while and didn't quite understand. Could you explain in detail?" Yang Reform was confused.

"...Reporting to Your Majesty, this is the case. Your Majesty is using volunteers to transport the victims on a large scale, and the victims themselves are contributing their own efforts. Although this is good, it must go down the Yellow River, pass through the canal, and then go up the Yangtze River... ..., the manpower and material resources required are really huge. If your majesty is to transfer the victims on a large scale, it is indeed necessary to maintain a huge fleet. Things, there are a few today, and a few more tomorrow. It seems a bit wasteful to maintain such a large transshipment fleet. It is better to spend some money to build some big ships for those small people and merchants. By the way, it doesn’t take too much to transfer some victims at a time, but it’s better because it takes a long time and there is no cost. It is especially suitable for protracted transfer of victims. It can save labor and worry, and the victims can be transferred away in time; Transshipment of the fleet's money; it will also give many small people and businessmen a chance to support their families, Your Majesty, this is a good thing!" The minister said more and more excitedly.

Cut... Yang Reform held his breath and finished listening, and "cut" the breath after listening...

The immigrant had just started to improve, and the transfer of disaster victims had just begun to look a little bit, when someone planned to use those boats, Yang Reform wanted to scold a few words, but after thinking about it again, he thought it was a bit interesting.

What's the meaning?Indeed, transporting millions of disaster victims along the Yellow River, through the canal, to the Yangtze River, and then to Dongting Lake consumes countless manpower, and most of the people used are the victims themselves, so-called volunteers.It also cost a lot of money to build the ship, so there are tens of millions of taels of silver to transport millions of immigrants.

However, there is indeed a problem. After the large-scale migration of immigrants, the volunteers who maintain the Yellow River, the Canal, and the Yangtze River will indeed be withdrawn. After all, it is impossible to keep others there as volunteers.Here comes a problem. The volunteers have withdrawn. Then, in the end of Ming Dynasty, there will be continuous natural disasters, and there will definitely be intermittent victims in Shaanxi who want to emigrate. It is impossible for me to maintain a huge transshipment fleet. It is a huge expense. It may be a way to "contract" this transfer work to some businessmen. After all, as long as I pay the money for shipbuilding, I can transfer the disaster victims in the future, and these businessmen who invest in their own strength can bear it. This is indeed a way to save money. This is a good way, especially suitable for the protracted and sparse transfer of disaster victims in the future. What's more, I may not need to build new ships now. Didn't I build a lot of ships when transferring immigrants?After the large-scale transshipment is over, it is possible to "share" these ships with some merchants and let them transfer the victims by the way. In this way, I don't have to pay for the long-distance transshipment of victims in the future. If there are more ships, more can be solved. Considering the issue of people's livelihood in this way, this idea still has some meaning.

"It's interesting, it's interesting..." Yang Reform figured it out, and said a few words with a smile.

The minister looked at the emperor with hope, and when he saw the emperor smiled and nodded in agreement, he smiled.

"Your Majesty, then..." the minister asked hopefully.

"This matter is a bit interesting. Ladies and Gentlemen, let's all talk about it..." Yang Reform became interested, and postponed the time to go to the platform, and said with a smile.

Some people agreed at the moment, anyway, the emperor paid for this matter.

"Your Majesty, the minister agrees, this is really killing three birds with one stone!"

"Your Majesty, the minister also agrees. Judging from the current situation, the emigration may take a long time. If you can save some, save some..."

Yang Reform sounds interesting...

"My Majesty, since you can use your strength to invest in shipbuilding to transport the victims, why not invest in some sea-going ships? Isn't it better that the sea-going ships are bigger and can transport more victims?" A minister suddenly suggested.

"Wait, this Qing family, are you talking about sea-going ships? Why do I need to build sea-going ships to transport the victims?" Yang Reform asked in bewilderment. excuse.

"Returning to Your Majesty, isn't Your Majesty planning to immigrate in Shandong? I think that the cost of sea-going ships is high, so it's better to invest a small amount of money in the sea-going ships of some merchants. In this way, the victims of the disaster can be transported out without spending much money..."

Shandong immigrants?Yang Reform was stunned for a long time. He planned to move to Taiwan from Shandong. He was indeed planning to go by sea. However, he had no plan to take a share in the merchant's sea ship and ask the merchants to help him transport people.

"Hey, let me think about this..." Yang Reform said a few words, these bureaucrats are too good at fooling their own money, right?
