Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 335 Chapter 335, killing Shanxi merchants to eliminate future troubles, Zhu Cihong preemptively strikes
Beijing City, Prince's study.

"A total of 350 four people in Zhangjiakou, starting from the guard generals down, have been arrested and confessed to colluding with Shanxi merchants to secretly smuggle slaves to the Jian Dynasty. This is part of the confession, and we will send it to you now. "

Listening to Fang Gongqian's voice and looking at the confession that was handed out just now, the expressions of Fan Jingwen, Ying Yinggong and others were quite complicated.

The Duke of England said angrily: "I never imagined that this family would be so bold as to smuggle such a huge amount of supplies to Jiannu!"

Fan Jingwen sighed and said: "Of course I haven't heard of some of the excessive actions of the soldiers on the border. I originally thought that I could understand their difficult situation, but I didn't expect... Sigh."

Serving as a soldier in Daming is definitely a hard job.

Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang slapped his head and came up with a wonderful household registration policy. The soldiers have been soldiers for generations, and the craftsmen have been craftsmen for generations.

When Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, he was very good. His grandfather was also a soldier, and his father was also a soldier. The son he taught must be experienced and outstanding in martial arts. Isn't the quality of soldiers in Ming Dynasty getting better and better from generation to generation?

But what actually happened was that soldiers had absolutely no hope of class advancement. Even in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, even the fields they could farm were swallowed up, and they could only become de facto slaves of officers and generals.

You say this, who is willing to work for Daming?Just lie down and die.

Can't survive, training?What is that, can it be eaten?
So only those generals who are willing to treat soldiers preferentially, like Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang, can bring out elite troops, and the other Ming troops are basically the five scum of war.

This also provided great convenience for the Shanxi merchants to smuggle the Manchus. The conditions of the frontier army were very difficult. The Shanxi merchants sent money to the door just to open an opening, and the army over there naturally turned a blind eye to the smuggling. Only one eye.

Of course, the Ming court was not unaware of this situation, but as Fan Jingwen said, the court bosses originally thought that Qiu Ba could not survive anymore and was looking for some extra money, but they did not expect that the amount of extra money was so huge that it was shocking. shocking!
Zhu Cihong was the most calm person in the room. He smiled and said, "You don't have to be angry. The eight Shanxi merchants have basically been eradicated now, and the two smuggling channels of Datong and Zhangjiakou have also been blocked by Daming."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Banghua couldn't help but said: "No wonder Jiannu always seemed to be invincible before. Many people wonder why Jiannu can sustain for so long. This is the reason."

The others nodded.

"That's right, this is simply giving Jiannu a drink of Zao Ming's blood, so that he can feed the thief with his body!"

"Fortunately, there will be no such thing from now on."

"Shanxi merchants are simply insane!"

Amid the denunciation, the fate of Shanxi merchant officials was virtually sealed.

Being suppressed, dismissed or even exiled are inevitable things that will happen.

No way, who made them stand on the wrong team in front of the big right and wrong, and betrayed Daming!

The British Duke suddenly said: "But now that Jiannu has no blood transfusion channels, I'm afraid they won't let it go."

Zhu Cixiang laughed: "Of course it is impossible for Jiannu to give up. If this palace's prediction is correct, they will definitely come out in full force next spring to take revenge on the Ming Dynasty."

Hearing this, everyone suddenly became quiet.

There is no way. In the past few decades, the Ming Dynasty was suppressed and beaten by the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. Many people here can be said to have grown up listening to the battle reports of the Ming Dynasty being beaten. The psychological shadow is really not that easy to overcome.

Fan Jingwen said worriedly: "If all the slaves come out, it will be a big problem for the Ming Dynasty. Your Highness, we have to deal with it as soon as possible."

Zhu Cihong nodded with a smile, and said, "That's natural. So I have already decided that Daming will take the initiative to send troops in the spring of next year!"

Since war is inevitable, burning the flames of war on the enemy's land is undoubtedly the best choice.

After hearing Zhu Cihong's words, all the cabinet ministers present had complicated expressions.

This answer is really in Zhu Cixiang's style.

only……

Fan Jingwen said: "Will Your Majesty agree?"

Zhu Cixiang shrugged his shoulders: "I don't know whether my father will agree, but I feel that no one, whether it is my father or you, sir, wants to feel the feeling of the capital being surrounded again. Bar?"

After hearing Zhu Cihong's words, the DNA of many people present moved suddenly.

When the capital was besieged two years ago, everyone present witnessed it.

As Zhu Cihong said, the atmosphere of despair is really impressive.

Li Banghua immediately said: "Your Highness is right. The capital is the core of the Ming Dynasty. If you are surrounded by thieves over and over again, how decent is it? You must severely punish Jiannu, that's the right way."

Shi Bangyao also said: "The slaves are so mad that they should kill them in their core areas, plow the courtyards and sweep the holes again, and recreate the majesty of Emperor Chenghua!"

The rest of the cabinet members also opened their mouths one after another, and their opinions were unexpectedly unanimous, and they all agreed to send troops.

Seeing this, Zhu Cihong also nodded in satisfaction.

"Very good, then report the content of this meeting to the emperor. As for the specific strategy of dispatching troops, it is not too late to discuss it after the emperor returns."

"But the Sixth Division must prepare in advance. Jiannu's menacing attack this time will definitely fight us to the death, and we must deal with it at the highest level."

"We cannot relax in terms of people's livelihood. In the winter of Ming Dynasty, everyone, especially in the northern provinces, must pay attention. Any local officials who do not do well will be dismissed from their posts!"

Zhu Cihong also had experience, and ordered one by one, very methodical.

All the ministers naturally responded one by one, and then followed suit.

After a while, the meeting came to an end.

After the ministers left, Zhu Cixi also stood up and walked towards the palace gate.

Although it took only two or three years to travel through time, during this period of time Zhu Cihong fought almost half of it.

This also made him develop a habit of exercising for a period of time every day to practice martial arts.

Of course, this kind of martial arts is not some kind of martial arts secret book or the like, but the cultivation of normal soldiers, but Zhu Cihong's masters are relatively good, and they all belong to the level of soldier kings.

Perhaps because it was determined that the war was going to begin, Zhu Cixiang was particularly enjoying his practice today.

After wiping off his sweat, Zhu Cihong let out a long breath and muttered to himself.

"It's better to fight, otherwise staying in the palace every day is really..."

A court lady ran quickly in small steps, came to Zhu Cihong, and saluted respectfully.

"Your Highness, the queen asked me to ask you when you will return to the palace so that we can arrange meals."

For some reason, Zhu Cihong suddenly felt a little weak in his legs.

　There is a high probability that this will be the update today.
