Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

"I know that you may have done a lot of wrong things with Yang Zhengxin in the past. However, the crime is not your fault, as I said just now, let bygones be bygones!" Then, Chongzhen changed his tone and said: "I also hope to be able to Live a good life. But the soldiers, the slaves will not let them go. These barbarians knocked on the gate again and again, burned, killed and looted, what should we do?

Can we return it?Behind us are your parents, wives and children, and this is our home!If we retreat, we will push them under Jiannu's butcher's knife!Soldiers, can we retreat? "

When all the soldiers heard the words, they shouted together: "No retreat! No retreat!"

Chongzhen continued: "Very good. Of course we can't retreat. But are we going to stick to it like this? I tell you, no! I want you to practice hard and kill Jiannu! One day, I will take you to conquer Liaodong!"

I will make up for your food and pay and send it to you.In the future, you don't have to stockpile and farm land anymore, I only want you to practice hard to kill Jiannu!Each Jian slave head rewards two taels of silver!

Don't worry about what will happen after you die in battle, the Martyrs' Shrine has already started construction in the capital, and all those who are loyal to Ming Dynasty will enter the Martyrs' Shrine after death!The Ming Dynasty is immortal, and the incense will last forever!

At the same time, I will send a supervising army, the lowest level will go up to Baihusuo.These supervisors will not interfere with your battle, but if you have any grievances, just look for them!If someone deducts your food and salary, find the supervising army!Someone is taking your military merits and looking for the supervising army!Someone is forcing you to work, find the supervisor!They are my eyes in the army, and also the bridge between me and you! "

It was the first time that all the officers and men felt that this supervising army was not as hateful as those previous supervising troops.

The previous supervisors were all eunuchs in the palace. They were greedy and commanded blindly. They were more ruthless than anyone else!If the current supervisory army is really as the emperor said, except for those generals who have no way to be greedy for money, the soldiers below will be very welcome.

Chongzhen didn't care what the generals below thought. In his opinion, as long as the soldiers at the bottom were loyal to him, even if the generals wanted to rebel, it was useless.When the Ming Bank is established in the future, military salaries will be distributed through the bank, and the imperial court's control over the army will be further strengthened, and private soldiers will no longer exist in the future.

After a pause, Chongzhen said again: "In this Xuanfu city, someone wants to send me a message and send the soldiers to death!

Those eight merchants colluded to build slaves and smuggled weapons, food and grass.Now the evidence is conclusive!

I will conduct a public trial of this generation of traitors in the city.Soldiers, come with me! "

Chapter 36 Business has no borders, but businessmen have borders!

In October of the seventh year of the Ming Dynasty, Xuanfu, city gate, afternoon.

Chongzhen once again came to the gate of Xuanfu.Just a few hours ago, Chongzhen made a special detour to Xuanfu because he was chasing Huang Taiji, just to take down the eight locust merchants!

Now, all the locust merchants have been captured, and Chongzhen will judge the eight locust merchants on the gate tower.

When Chongzhen ascended the tower, the people below the city were already bustling with each other.There were too many people in the Xuanfu, which made Chongzhen feel that they were similar to the people who killed Hauge in the capital last time, so he simply sent white soldiers to maintain order.

But soon, Chongzhen became angry again. In Chongzhen's view, the world is his own, and the people are his roots.Only when the people are well, will they spend their hard-earned money for themselves, and will continue to send beautiful women to enjoy and work hard for themselves.

But these eight locust merchants colluded to build slaves, and how many innocent people of Ming Dynasty were killed?Those are all in their own pockets!If these bastards are unfairly approved today, and justice is given to the common people and soldiers who have died in vain because of the Eight Great Locust Merchants' sponsorship of the enemy, then they will come to support themselves in the future and let themselves enjoy the corrupt life of the 72 concubines of the Sangong and Six Courts?

Thinking of this, Chongzhen said: "Today, many people know what I want to do.

That's right, I'm going to put this traitorous traitor on trial here!Expose their crimes to the world! "

After finishing speaking, he said to Lu Xiangsheng beside him: "Bring these dogs to the trial!"

When the eight locust merchants were escorted to the downstairs of the city gate, Chongzhen said: "Can you be convicted? Can you plead guilty?

In the first year of Tianqi, you and others smuggled more than [-] stones of grain and grass to Jiannu, and more than [-] pieces of iron, most of which were long knives.

In the second year of Tianqi, you again smuggled more than [-] grain and grass to Jiannu, and nearly [-] pieces of ironware.

From the third year of the apocalypse to the sixth year of the apocalypse, every year is like this!I may have wronged you and so on? "

The other seven people were silent, but Fan Yongdou shouted: "Your Majesty, the grassroots and others are transporting grain and grass to the border according to the regulations of China and France. As for the smuggling to Jiannu, it is all from the following People did it without telling the grassroots, but the grassroots really don't know, Your Majesty!"

After hearing this, the people in the city exploded first.If you, Mr. Fan, don't know about it, how dare your servants give money to Jian Nu?Aren't you afraid of ransacking your home and destroying the nine clans?

Immediately, a man who was close to him cursed: "Fart your mother! You don't know, who knows?!"

But an old lady cried out: "You damn things, you can't fool the Holy One! My poor son died at the hands of Jiannu! Why are you people so inhumane!"

On the top of the city, Chongzhen's face became more and more ugly, but he said angrily to the eight locust merchants below the city: "The ancients said that punishing without teaching is called abuse! Today, I will convince you and others!" After finishing speaking, he turned his head to Wu Zhen who was next to him: "You just believe in these few books!"

Then Wu Taitou hurriedly responded, and immediately read aloud the letters between Fan Yongdou and Fan Wencheng found in Fan's residence in the inner factory on the top of the city wall.

Among them, not only the smuggling of grain, grass and ironware was involved, but also the leakage of border information.Jiannu knew everything from the distribution of the frontier troops to the names of the generals of the guards.In the letter, Fan Yongdou flattered Jiannu to the utmost extent, and slandered Daming a lot.

When the people in the city heard about it, there was an uproar, and many people shouted: "Kill these traitors!"

Another person said: "If you kill them with one knife, wouldn't it be cheaper for them? It should be cut into pieces!"

The voice was so loud that even Chongzhen on the top of the city heard it.Chongzhen's face twitched, and he thought to himself, I don't want to eat Peking Duck anymore after cutting one Hauge, and you want me to cut eight more?

In order to calm down the faint feeling of rebellion in his stomach earlier, Chongzhen said again: What else do you have to say? "

Fan Yongdou knew he was going to die, so he put his heart on the line and said: "Your Majesty, we are just doing business, buying and selling, and what is the difference between Jiannu and Ming?! Business has no national boundaries!"

Chongzhen heard it.But he was happy.In later generations, there are some well-known patients with advanced syndrome of elites who shout all day long that science has no borders!

For these people, if they were in the Chongzhen Dynasty, Chongzhen said that these people must completely disappear from this world.

Immediately, Chongzhen shouted to several people: "Shut up!

Businessmen have no borders, but can businessmen like you have borders?Are you a Jian slave or a commoner of Ming Dynasty?

You were born in Daming and grew up in Daming!Don't forget, it is Daming's soldiers who protect you, not Jiannu!Now he is earning money from Daming, and let Jiannu slaughter the people of Ming!Is it tolerable, which is unbearable? "

Chongzhen was furious, and shouted: "Now that the evidence is convincing, how dare you argue with your words? Hear the judgment. Today, I will seek justice for the people of Ming Dynasty who died in vain because of you!"

Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Wang Dayu, Liang Jiabin, Tian Shenglan, Zhai Tang, Huang Yunfa, and the above eight people, after investigation, found that they had fornicated slaves, betrayed the country, and ransacked their homes in Jinyiwei.

The above eight people, Ling Chi!Three generations up and down, all in one body!The three clans were exiled to the southwest, and became slaves to the Mu Palace!If there are officials in the three generations of the nine clans, let them go! "

At that moment, Chongzhen specially brought Zhao Er and others from Beijing to execute the execution, and once again staged the scene of hacking Hauge alive in the capital.

Chongzhen didn't even look at the execution scene below, and said to many officials, soldiers and common people in the city: "It's okay for businessmen to seek profit. But, you can't make black-hearted money like these eight people!"

Guochao was too lenient to you and other merchants before, so that these eight traitorous bastards came out!

Its order: All merchants in the world need to pay commercial tax, which is calculated as [-] taxes!Those who do not pay will be punished as tax evasion!Among the rewards and punishments, after I return to Beijing, there will naturally be a decree for the world.

Since the establishment of slaves has grown stronger because of your wealth, your business taxes are also used to compensate the people of the world.

Its order: stop all Liao pay, border pay, etc., and reduce the farm tax by half! "

The eight major locust merchants below who were not yet dead immediately howled when they heard the verdict, and they all shouted: "Your Majesty, be merciful!"

The eight major locust merchants knew in their hearts that even if the three clans were killed together and the nine clans were still there, someone would get out after all, and there would be a possibility of a comeback one day.

Now Chongzhen's judgment has completely blocked all their hopes.

From then on, all the merchants in Ming Dynasty hated them to the bone.The commercial tax, which basically did not exist, is now collected again by eight of them, and it is as high as one fifteen taxes. I am afraid that these merchants will wish to destroy their nine clans!

Chongzhen on the top of the city sneered in his heart.Secretly said: "I borrowed a few dog heads from you to collect business tax today, and the money will be huge in the future? Only when I have money can I be self-willed!"

Chapter 37 Zhujing Temple

After dealing with the eight major locust merchants, Chongzhen did not care about the subsequent execution.Hurriedly recruited Lu Xiangsheng and Qin Liangyu to meet and discuss how to pursue Jiannu.
