king of war

Chapter 95

Qin Rongshuai ignored Chaozhong's impeachment because he wasn't panicking at all, why.

Because he secretly handed over part of the profit from selling salt to Emperor Taichang as a protection fee, he paid a total of 100 million taels in three years, so that the internal money that had bottomed out began to fill up again.

Adding the Liaodong salt tax is not cutting off the emperor's financial resources.

So this incident became more and more troublesome, and these officials just killed Qin Rongshuai, regardless of the evidence.

Anyway, it all depends on one mouth and one pen, as long as Qin Rongshuai is killed, then the historical records can say whatever they want.

The censor's official head is very strong, but Jin Yiwei's court staff is even stronger.

Anyone who brought up the impeachment of Qin Rongshuai in the current court will be pulled to the Wumen court stick twenty.

All of a sudden, the court was in turmoil, and Qin Rongshuai became the biggest traitor in the dynasty in one fell swoop.

At this time, Qin Rongshuai was busy promoting the planting of cold-resistant food crops, such as wheat, corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and even tried to grow rice.

After more than two years of farming in Liaodong, the grain output has grown explosively, which can not only meet the needs of the people in Liaodong, but also sell a large amount to the grasslands in exchange for livestock.

The purchased wool is all spun into woolen wool, and continues to be dumped around.

Just when Qin Rongshuai was about to continue flexing his muscles, there was a sad news in Beijing that Emperor Taichang had passed away.

At that time, Qin Rongshuai was watching the new steam forging machine casting silver coins at the mint. The silver coins were neatly arranged on the forging table, and the steam-driven hammer rolled over them, and the exquisite patterns were perfectly engraved on them.

These silver coins are divided into four types: 1 yuan, 2 yuan, 5 yuan, and one or two. Silver and copper are mixed in an eight-to-two ratio. Even the template was brought by Qin Rongshuai from his own time and space, and then forged by a steam engine. Its anti-counterfeiting ability is absolutely outstanding. world class.

The pattern on the front is the sun, surrounded by two dragons on the edge, and the moon on the back, supplemented by ears of wheat.

Qin Rongshuai is going to use this silver coin to set up a financial system. After all, the fastest way to get money is to mint coins and open a bank.

Just as he picked up the white silver coins and looked at the sun, Gu Xiangsheng hurried in, "Master Hou, something is wrong."

"Huh?!" Qin Rongshuai frowned, threw the silver coins aside, and scolded, "What does it sound like to be in a panic? The man wants Mount Tai to collapse in front of him without changing his face."

"Uh, Lord Hou taught you a lesson." Gu Xiangsheng quickly agreed.

"Tell me in detail from the beginning."

"Yes, Lord Hou." Gu Xiangsheng stood next to Qin Rongshuai and began to narrate in detail, "Just now, Beijing sent an urgent message from [-] miles away. I saw it was a letter from Lord Lu. I didn't dare to open it privately, so I sent it to you." You brought it here, but the person who sent the letter told me something, the emperor fell into the water on the eighth day of last month."

"There's nothing to make a fuss about falling into the water." Qin Rongshuai took the letter with a straight face, opened it and saw that there were only four words written on it, "The emperor has passed away."

"Fuck!" Qin Rongshuai was shocked at that time. Why did the emperor die?

"Come on, come on!" Qin Rongshuai immediately jumped up and shouted in a hurry, "Assemble the army, go, go!"

Seeing that Gu Xiangsheng was still in a daze, Qin Rongshuai kicked him anxiously.

Only then did Gu Xiangsheng come to his senses, he hurriedly went out to summon the troops, and even slandered him, didn't you say that Mount Tai would collapse in front of him without changing his face?
Soon, Qin Rongshuai gathered an army of [-] troops, under the banner of "Qingjun Side", and marched to the capital in a mighty manner.

When they arrived at Shanhaiguan, the defenders were shocked. Faced with this situation, they couldn't reach it at all. There were still [-] defenders in Shanhaiguan.

But after Liaodong was recovered, the defensive front line was pushed to the border of Liaodong, and Ping Liaohou was in charge, and half of the defenders in Shanhaiguan were also cut down.

Moreover, most of the defenders are old, weak, sick and disabled, and their equipment is not very good. After all, they are not Liaozhen, and they don't need to stand on the front line. Now that Liaodong Jianlu has been wiped out, the world is more peaceful.

Now that the flying dragon is riding on the face, how can he defend it?
Qin Rongshuai was also a very reasonable man. He did not embarrass the Shanhaiguan defenders. He just lined up the [-] cannons he brought and fired several rounds of volleys.

Inspired by the great righteousness, the Shanhaiguan defenders resolutely decided to follow Ping Liaohou to enter Beijing "on the side of the Qing emperor".

When the new army led by Qin Rongshuai was about to arrive in Tongzhou, the entire capital was blown up. At this time, the emperor died, Fang Congzhe was impeached by the officials, and the group had no leader. What should we do in the face of this situation?
The ministers feel that the chief assistant should be fully responsible for this matter, so we should replace the chief assistant first, and then send capable people to fight against the rebellion.

Qin Rongshuai waited in Tongzhou for three days, and the anti-insurgency army didn't even see a hair, and finally Shen Lian and Xu Guangqi waited for them
When Xu Guangqi saw Qin Rongshuai, he said heartbrokenly: "Wugong, are you really going to commit treason?"

Qin Rongshuai pretended to be shocked, "Where do you start talking about this? Mr. Xu Ge, you must not accuse someone of innocence out of thin air or accuse Zhongliang unjustly."

"Then what do you mean by bringing a hundred thousand troops to the city?" Xu Guangqi asked with a serious face.

"Without him, it's just the Qing emperor." Qin Rongshuai said confidently, "The emperor is in the prime of spring and autumn and is in good health. Why did he fall ill after falling into the water? Dragon Yu Bintian is clearly someone's murder!"

"Qin led the army to rescue King Qin, not to rebel."

"Your Majesty can't just be killed for no apparent reason. The murderer must be found out."

Qin Rongshuai's words were so righteous that Xu Guangqi couldn't refute him at all. He couldn't say that you were treason by using the banner of Qingjun side, because Ming Chengzu also used this banner back then, but who dares to say that he was treason.

In the end Xu Guangqi persuaded him hard, and Qin Rongshuai reluctantly agreed not to let the army enter the capital. He waited for news in Tongzhou and retreated immediately after the new emperor ascended the throne.

Only then was Xu Guangqi satisfied and returned to report to the cabinet.

But Shen Lian stayed behind to talk to Qin Rongshuai for a while. Qin Rongshuai inquired carefully about how Emperor Taichang fell into the water, and concluded that someone must have done something wrong.

Shen Lian sighed, "Brother, why doesn't he know that someone deliberately murdered him, but this matter really cannot be investigated. The crown prince is still young, so the eldest brother has to put all his energy on taking care of the prince, lest he might make a mistake."

"This court..." Qin Rongshuai sneered, "It's dead!"

Shen Lian remained silent, it could be seen that the past few years in the capital had stimulated him a lot.

"Second brother, why don't you bring your family back to Liaodong with me, so as not to get bored here." Qin Rongshuai asked tentatively when he saw that he was unhappy.

"Okay." Shen Lian nodded and agreed without even thinking about it. He is not very interested in fame and fame, and being an official in the court is very aggrieved, so he might as well find a place to enjoy peace and happiness in peace.

Then there was a few days of turmoil in Beijing, and finally the prince was pushed to the right position, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, with the reign title Tianqi.

As soon as the new emperor came to the throne, the first edict he issued was to encourage Qin Rongshuai, to grant him the crown prince Shaobao, and to reward some property.

Only then did Qin Rongshuai lead the army back to Liaodong, and Shen Lian and his family were also taken away.

On the second day, Fang Congzhe said he was sick and resigned from office, but he refused.

After that, Fang Congzhe resigned six times, and finally resigned and returned.

Ye Xianggao was promoted to the chief assistant of the cabinet, and the Donglin Party revived, and once again all were in charge.

The first thing the Donglin Party did after taking office was to increase the Liaodong salt tax and cloth tax.

　(After receiving the editor's notice, it will be released at 12:[-] noon tomorrow. I was wondering whether to quickly end the copy of Xiuchun Dao and open a new copy. Later, book friends commented that the last chapter was written simply. In fact, I was afraid that everyone would say My hydrology, because the best water for farming and fighting for hegemony, hundreds of thousands of water is not a problem, I always feel that this is not good)
