After Yang Shanlu returned to the Yang Mansion, Yang Sichang was already waiting. When he saw him back, he asked, "How was the talk?"
"Haha, it's okay!" Then Yang Shanlu told him the result.
After thinking about it, Yang Sichang said, "Although it is not the best result, it is still acceptable."
After all, he also knew very well that if he really got into a stalemate with the Donglin Party... it would be very bad! Because it may be difficult for these Donglin Party members to accomplish one thing, but they have to destroy one thing, that is familiar!
But this time since Yang Shanlu is here, Yang Sichang still has one more thing to do, and he wants to hear Yang Shanlu's opinion.
That is, there are still more than four months, and the Central Plains war will start to kill the gangsters! But the soldiers and horses have not moved the food and grass first, where will the money and food needed by the bandits come from
"Lu'er, sit down and drink tea first." After the father and son sat down in the study and settled down, Yang Sichang said this.
After Yang Shanlu heard this, he asked, "My father, how much food is needed according to your estimate?"
"At least 1.5 million taels!" Yang Sichang frowned, and this was the result of his compression.
"That's it—" Yang Shanlu nodded. In fact, he knew very well that this was almost less than the original history, his father proposed an increase of 120,000 troops and an increase of 2.8 million taels. Half it!
Of course, this is also very obvious. As the immigration plan has begun to show its effect, the power of the pirates will continue to be weakened. In this way, there will be no need to levy so many soldiers and horses, and the cost of money will naturally be reduced.
And the second reason is because of the Xuanjia Army joining!
In Yang Sichang’s original plan, he planned to increase the troops by 120,000, but he also knew that many of the soldiers and horses were actually squeezed in the heads, only quantity but not quality. But looking at the whole Ming, in the absence of a strong army, he can only Collect the feathers of the duster.
But now, with the birth of the Xuanjia Army! The situation has changed a lot!
According to Yang Sichang's estimation, the combat effectiveness of the Xuanjia Army can at least be at least five against the ordinary Ming Army! As for the rogues, at least one can top ten! Even twenty!
Therefore, as long as 6,000 Profound Armies are dispatched, it will be equivalent to 30,000 troops!
In this way, not only the hope of winning is greatly increased, but also a lot of money and food needed are saved, which is why the figure of 1.5 million taels was obtained.
However, even the 1.5 million taels has already made him worry. He once asked Shang Shu Hou Xun, the transfer department, on this matter. The other party's answer was that there was no money... If you don’t believe me, go to the warehouse in Taicang, it’s clean enough to run rats. !
Including the emperor’s internal money, it is estimated that there is no money... I haven’t seen the 100,000 taels of silver used to transport the victims this time, can the emperor not get it out
"Then Father, do you have any ideas?" Yang Shanlu asked.
Yang Sichang sighed and said, "I originally wanted to increase taxes for my father, which temporarily burdened the people for a year, but then I heard you say that it will be a disaster year in the future, and I felt it was wrong to be a father."
After all, this is also very obvious. Yang Sichang is not a fool. If he collects taxes to eliminate the bandits, he will rebel against the peasants who are already going to be unable to survive. Isn't this drinking eagles to quench their thirst
But, where does the money come from if there is no tax increase? This really made Yang Sichang sad.
Seeing his appearance, Yang Shanlu calmly said: "My father, don't worry, I will solve this matter!" "What? How do you solve it!" Yang Sichang was surprised, but this is not a small number. , This is exactly 1.5 million taels! It can even be said that it is related to the success or failure of the Central Plains bandits!
But Yang Shanlu calmly said: "First, at the time of the national crisis, the child is willing to serve 300,000 taels of silver to share the country's worries and troubles!"
"Ah, Lu'er, where did you get so much money?" Yang Sichang was very surprised.
"Hehe, father, don't forget, now that the production of Baihualu increases, it will be the real daily income, 300,000 taels of silver, it is only three or four months!" Yang Shanlu is confident. The way.
"So that's the case." Yang Sichang suddenly realized. He didn't expect Yang Shanlu to increase the production of Baihua Dew with a casual sentence last time, and it has already developed into such a large scale!
And when it comes to this, Yang Shanlu is also full of pride... History has changed again because of him! In the original time and space, the father Yang Sichang was helpless, and imposed taxes on the farmers! That is the famous extermination!
After that, it was uncontrollable and forced the farmers who had been struggling to die on the road of rebellion... and ultimately ruined the three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty! But now...
Of course, this amount of money is not enough... Then Yang Shanlu took out a booklet from his body in the eyes of Yang Sichang's expectation, and this was his main solution to the problem.
"What is this?" Yang Sichang took it in puzzlement, but after he turned a few pages, his hands began to tremble, and his face became ashen when he saw the back, "Lu'er, these are all. it is true?"
"My father, these are all true!"
Although the content was written by Yang Shanlu based on the memory of later generations, when it comes to these, one must suppress the anger in the heart before speaking calmly... What is recorded here is the countless crimes of the Eight Great Masters of Shanxi. !
We must know that Daming at this time, internal and external troubles, not only the majority of the people are struggling, but even the imperial court of Daming is also struggling!
But they are already so miserable, there are such a small group of people who have forgotten their ancestors! Betrayed his own nation! Desperately bleed the Ming Dynasty! And give blood transfusion to Tartar outside the customs!
As the descendants of the Han Dynasty, they provided the Manchu with the necessary food and wages, and sold the looted property on their behalf, which caused the imperial blockade policy to fail, and eventually the country was subjugated and the species was destroyed! All kinds of crimes are heinous! Although this hatred is hard to dispel forever!
Take a look at the following two examples...
In August of Chongzhen, the Fan family transported 1,000 kilograms of salt, 10,000 kilograms of pig iron, and 1,000 kilograms of grain to the outside of the customs...
In October, Chongzhen, 1,500 catties of salt outside the customs, 8,000 catties of pig iron, 2,000 stones of grain and rice, and weapons such as knives and guns were transported at a time...
In the 2nd, 7th, 8th and 9th years of Chongzhen, the Tartars entered the customs, and they sent people to guide them and did their best...
So I can understand why Yang Sichang is so angry. In fact, as the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, he also knows some of the tricks below.
For example, some frontier soldiers and hawkers in the border pass sell a few catties of salt and a few catties of pig iron to the Tartars outside the customs to earn a little money...
But to achieve this level, this is really frantic! This is no longer making a living, this is a *naked traitor... Seeking a small profit and forgetting the righteousness! Give the knife and the enemy!
"So my father, the eight great masters of Shanxi are already full of crimes, too numerous to write! Not killing is not enough for civilians to be angry!
And because of making this black-hearted money, they have accumulated a wealth of money! It is estimated that each of them has two or three hundred thousand taels of stolen silver! So this military payment must be knocked out of their heads...
After all, at this time, if you don't attack these bastards, don't you still attack the poor people! "
Insert one sentence, really good, it is worth installing, after all, there are many books, complete books, and fast updates!
"Well said!" Yang Sichang nodded his head with deep conviction, and honestly, if you let the moths of these countries leave them alone, just let them go! On the contrary, it is because the tax and silver increased by one cent per acre (about 14 cents of copper), and the people have to rise up to rebel, that is the biggest joke!
However, after Yang Sichang calmed down, he said: "Lu'er, but the eight great masters of Shanxi are acting so rampantly, they must have deep interest entanglements with officials at all levels in Shanxi...
If this is to kill them, I am afraid that life will be more difficult in the future... (Zhenluwei belongs to the territory of Shanxi)"
"Don't be afraid!" Yang Shanlu said calmly: "My boy is not the same little armor he used to be! Now my boy is the commander of the guard, who wants to be disadvantageous to me, he has to weigh! Don’t say that there is Father Father on it, you are escorting him!"
"Father, it is Jin Yiwei's duty to eliminate evil for the country! Therefore, we don't need to be in front of this matter. We can tell the Lord, and then let him assign Jin Yiwei to dispatch!
Our Xuanjia Army is responsible for supervision at most, as well as storming! "After all, the eight great masters of Shanxi have been in business for so many years, and their strength is extraordinary!
"It makes sense!" Yang Sichang felt reasonable when he heard it. What Jin Yiwei himself did was to detect spies and steal the house and destroy the door! So you can let them charge ahead...
The Xuanjia Army is only responsible for the strong attack and supervision (the reason why supervision is needed is to prevent the money from looting the house from falling into Jin Yiwei's pocket)
"Master, it's time for dinner—" At this moment, butler Yang Fuyang reminded him from outside the study.
"Got it—" Now that the discussion has been completed, the father and son hurried to the Forbidden City after having hurriedly finished their meal.
After the two arrived at the Forbidden City, because of the seriousness of the situation, they quickly met Emperor Chongzhen after an urgent transmission by the eunuch.
Emperor Chongzhen summoned the two in the Nuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, and after seeing Yang Shanlu at the beginning, he still had a little thought in his heart...
Although he gave Yang Shanlu the right to do things cheaply last time, he was too diligent when he came to Beijing, so why didn't he feel at ease to train
Only after he understood the reason Yang Shanlu came to Beijing this time, and read the pamphlet presented by Yang Shanlu, Chongzhen understood the reason, and his face was pale with anger, and the rare pain was loud. He scolded: "A national thief! This is simply a national thief! There are people in the world who have betrayed the ancestor like this!"
It's no wonder that Chongzhen is so angry, think about it, nowadays, the country is so difficult, wanting to kill the bandits, but can't get the military salary!
He was so helpless that he even sold the jewels in the palace! As for the dragon robe he wore, it was an old thing that had been patched up again and again! (According to the usual practice, the dragon robe is to be made once a year, and it is made by the Sichuan Weaving Bureau, which specializes in making Shu brocade, but Chongzhen is a waste of people’s wealth and is exempted from it.)
But now, the royal family is so embarrassed, these damned Shanxi eight great masters dare to be so frantic! It is really not enough to not kill the civilians!
In his anger, Emperor Chongzhen immediately preached: "Tell me to show Luo to raise my sex! I'm going to ask him how he is a commander of Jinyiwei! He can't even detect such a big thing!"
Seeing the emperor's anger, the little eunuch standing below immediately went to report.
After a while, Commander Jin Yiwei had already hurried over. Seeing that he was panting, he was obviously in a hurry.
"Weichen Commander Jinyiwei has seen..." Luo Yangxing knelt down in the tunnel, but before he could finish speaking, Chongzhen had already threw the pamphlet on his face: "Look what this is! What do you commander Jinyiwei do for food?"
"Ah!" Luo Yangxing was shocked. When he picked up the pamphlet and looked at it, his face became ugly... On the one hand, he was also horrified by the shocking numbers on it, on the other hand. , He knew he was in trouble this time!
It’s just that Luo Yang’s sexuality is hard to tell... Because now Jinyiwei is not as beautiful as before!
Since Chongzhen ascended the throne, because of the bewilderment of those civil officials, he said that the emperor should trust the following civil and military officials without the supervision of Jinyiwei.
Therefore, Jin Yiwei's strength has been greatly reduced, and many places have not taken care of it, so this has not detected such a serious matter.
But in any case, it must have been a serious negligence this time, so Luo Yang couldn't distinguish it. Isn't it right that the emperor cut Jinyiwei? But just kowtow desperately: "The emperor forgive me! The emperor forgive me."
At this time, Yang Shanlu said something for him: "The emperor calmed down his anger. Although Lord Luo had oversight, it was mainly because the eight great masters of Shanxi were very cunning!
That is, the Weichen has been staying in Shanxi for several years, only to notice the clues! So please let the emperor.com open one side and let Lord Luo take the blame and do meritorious service! "
"Huh!" Hearing Yang Shanlu pleading for him, Chongzhen's anger disappeared a little, but he still said sharply: "Luo Yangxing, this time Yang Aiqing is begging for you, so I will let you go first! Then you cooperate with Yang Aiqing. , Investigate and deal with this case severely! If there is a leak, come with your head!"
"Weichen abides by the order." Luo Yangxing hurriedly knocked his head like garlic, and after he got up, he gave Yang Shanlu a grateful look. If it weren't for Yang Shanlu's help, the emperor looked furious, I'm afraid It is possible to be dismissed from office!
But now... He has secretly decided that he must cooperate with Yang Shanlu and clean up these bastards!
In order to facilitate Yang Shanlu's actions, Chongzhen directly gave him a secret decree: "Yang Aiqing, I allow you to take my secret decree and go to Shanxi to act cheaply! Shanxi civil and military officials all listen to your temperance!"
It's not like that Chongzhen is still not at ease, after thinking about it, he simply gave a Shangfang Sword! You can chop first and play later!
Because the emperor of Chongzhen in the past few years, he also understood a little bit of the doorway. The smuggling of these national thieves is so large that if it has nothing to do with the local guard station, the ghost will believe it!
So just in case, I gave Yang Shanlu the right to cut first and play later! Wherever Shangfang’s sword goes, it’s like I’m here in person!
"Weichen follow the edict!" After Yang Shanlu took over the imperial edict monk Fang Baojian, he was still very happy...
With these two big killers, if the eight great masters of Shanxi are cleaned up at that time, no matter what backer he has behind him, it is definitely the gods who are here to kill the gods, and the Buddhas are blocking them!
After receiving the decree, Chongzhen had something to discuss with Yang Sichang, and Yang Shanlu and Luo Yangxing left the palace together.
Now that he has received the imperial decree, it should not be too late. Yang Shanlu said to Luo Yangxing: "Master Luo, since this is the case, I will rush back to the town guard to prepare. When you lead the staff to arrive, how about we act together? ?"
"Everything is up to Master Yang!"
Luo Yangxing's posture is very low. In fact, his official position is the same as Yang Shanlu. He is the commander of the third rank, not to mention that Jinyiwei is the emperor's pro-army, and he is born superior!
But still the same sentence, the current Jin Yiwei is not as good as before, and his strength is greatly weakened!
Not to mention that the emperor said just now that he was very clear, let him cooperate with Yang Shanlu, and then bestowed Yang Shanlu's secret order monk Fang Baojian, so of course Luo Yangxing knew the right position.
And seeing his attitude so humble, Yang Shanlu is still very satisfied... This Jinyiwei commander still knows how to advance and retreat! In this case, it will be more convenient to do things then!
And after that, Yang Shanlu secretly said in his heart, the eight great families of Shanxi ah eight great families! This is called not reporting, the time is not up! When the time comes, the retribution will come! The day to eliminate evil for the country has arrived!
