Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

On the prairie, the only honorable title that can stand up to the direct descendants of the Golden Family is the Snowy Holy See!

The Xueyu Holy See also confronted Burni's grandfather Lin Danhan because of this...Lin Danhan had formed an anti-yellow sect alliance in Qinghai back then.

Now that Kangxi has lost his status as a secular khan on the grassland, if he wants to move Burni, he can only get the support of the Holy See in Xueyu!

The Xueyu Holy See definitely does not want to see Lin Danhan's grandson become a new generation of grassland pride!

A confident smile finally appeared on Kangxi's pockmarked face: "I know... I want to worship the Fifth Great Lama as my teacher!"

……

Tianjin Haikou, Dagukou City.

Zhu Tianwang, who sailed on the sea for nearly 20 days and only landed in early February, was standing on the low wall of Dagukou City with Yang Qilong, Zhu Shangxian, Zhang Da, Jiao San and others, looking at hundreds of people below. Qian's shack and the water workers who were queuing up to receive rice at a grain station outside Dagukou City... What a frown!

It seems that the third prince Zhu's cross-sea expedition was not well coordinated, and it was a bit messed up.

According to the original plan, Burni and Yang Qilong should stay for at least a month after taking Beijing.In this way, the expeditionary force led by the third prince Zhu can arrive in time, and then join forces with Burni to control Beizhili...or spend money to buy Beijing, or capture the city of Tianjin as the basis.

But Yang Qilong can't control Burni's thoughts, Burni has made a lot of money in Beijing, he wants money, fame, and important people.Moreover, he ascended the throne in the Forbidden City and became the Great Yuan Emperor... In this way, the basis of his transaction with Zhu Tianwang would no longer exist!

Can Emperor Dayuan sell Yuan Dadu to the Great Ming Northern Expeditionary Army?

Emperor Yuan Shun couldn't do this kind of thing, how can Burni be the Genghis God Bless Khan of Great Mongolia if he wants to do it?

After knowing that he could not get Beijing, Yang Qilong wanted to take the next best thing and engage in Tianjin Prefecture.

But at this time, Yang Qilong was reluctant to part with the waterworkers and their families in Tongzhou... Most of the waterworkers in Tongzhou were old Beijing or the second generation of old Beijing, and they were the ones who were looking forward to Ming's return day and night.

Yang Qilong was with them, how could he give up on them?So he took his own few thousand Wuhe and the three thousand Mongolian cavalry that Burni lent him to fight Tongzhou first.

The opening of Tongzhou was surprisingly smooth. The Qing army in Tongzhou voluntarily abandoned the city and ran away, but Yang Qilong and the others took it without taking it.

However, after entering Tongzhou, Yang Qilong clashed with the Mongolian cavalry in Burni - the Mongolian rules, if you conquer a place, you have to grab money and women.But Yang Qilong couldn't let them run wild in Tongzhou, so he drove away the Mongols in Burni.

Then Yang Qilong took 6 to [-] Tongzhou water workers and their families to Tianjin Prefecture...but Tianjin Prefecture is two hundred miles away from Tongzhou!

And among the 6 to [-] people brought by Yang Qilong, many were old and weak, and they couldn't walk fast at all... When his mob army arrived in Tianjin Prefecture, the Qing army in Tianjin was on guard.

Although it was just some folks, Yang Qilong's men had nothing to do once the city gates of Tianjin Prefecture were closed and the walls were fortified.

So Yang Qilong could only take his men to Haikou, Tianjin, and planned to wait for the arrival of Third Prince Zhu's army, and then go to fight Tianjin Prefecture together.

But the third prince Zhu took the sea route... These days, the sea road is blown by the wind, so how can there be such a thing as a strong wind on the sea?Moreover, the Ming Navy is not familiar with the sea routes of the Beiyang, so it can only adopt the method of coastal navigation.Therefore, the sea route was not too far away, and even with the relatively smooth wind, Zhu Tianwang and his party still drifted on the sea for more than 20 days.

When Zhu Tianwang arrived in Dagukou City, Tianjin, Burni had already run back outside the Great Wall, and the main force of Emperor Kangxi was almost returning to Beijing.

And the Lu division that followed Zhu Tianwang to the north was only three to 4000 people... It is impossible for this kind of people to fight the main force of the Qing army that has returned to Beijing!

However, Zhu Tianwang finally made a trip to the north, and he still wanted to do something important to make his name in history, so as not to leave a name of "Ming Lianzong" in history-although he gave up being emperor during his lifetime, but after his death It will definitely be a posthumous gift.So Zhu Tianwang came up with the idea of ​​farming in Dagukou!

But Yang Qilong told him that the land on the Weihaikou side of Tianjin is all saline-alkali flats, and not much food can be grown.

Moreover, there are too many water workers and family members following him, and the daily consumption is huge...it is really difficult to maintain.

Really anxious!

"Heavenly King, going on like this is not an option!" Yang Qilong leaned over to Zhu Tianwang's side at this time, "Tianjin Haikou is frozen for tens of miles in winter, and there is no way to contact the imperial court at all... Let's change places!"

"Change place? Where to go?"

Yang Qilong said: "Why don't you... learn from Dong Jiang Mao Shuai?"

"No, I don't want to learn from Mao Shuai!" Zhu Tianwang shook his head, "I am the emperor's father, so of course I want to learn from Huang Taiji and Dorgon!"

Chapter 473 The road map of the Great Ming's entry into the customs and the Qing Dynasty

"Xuehuang Taiji and Dorgon? Heavenly King, you mean to go to Lushunkou to land, and then go all the way to Shanhaiguan along the coastline of Liaodong and Liaoxi?"

Hearing Yang Qilong's question, Zhu Tianwang stroked his beard, nodded triumphantly, looked around at Zhu Shangxian, Zhang Da, and Jiao San, and asked with a smile: "How is it? Do you dare to go to Liaodong Bo Fugui? You three Although they are all adherents of the former Ming Dynasty, they have persisted in the north for many years, but in the end there is only hard work and no great achievements. In the south of the Yangtze River, there are only three rich men. If you want to confine your wife and son, you have to make extraordinary achievements in the country!"

Zhu Shangxian, Zhang Da, Jiao San and the others frowned when they heard this - the three of them were actually satisfied with the future of the rich man in Jiangnan.

Confessing a wife and a son... that sounds dangerous!

Zhu Shangxian, who was the Duke of the state in his ancestors, was the biggest among the three, so he was the first to adjust his mentality, but he didn't agree immediately, but asked Zhu Tianwang: "My lord, I heard that the land in Liaodong is barren and sparsely populated, and The Eight Banners outside the Guanwai are known for their bravery and skill in combat. We have only tens of thousands of mobs, poor training, lack of equipment, and insufficient food... If we land in Liaodong, I am afraid that we will not be able to survive until the day when our troops are strong and horses are strong!"

Zhang Da and Jiao San also nodded in agreement.

"Yes, yes, Commander Zhu is right."

"His Royal Highness, you are a body of gold, so don't take such a risk."

In fact, Zhu Tianwang also had an idea, and didn't think about specific things.But he doesn't want to go back to Nanjing Heavenly King's Mansion to lie down...he is at the right age to start a career!How can you lie flat?

Besides, lying flat can only eat, drink and have fun, without the pleasure of holding power!He was in charge of power in Jieyang. Although there is only one county, the feeling of being above ten thousand people is still very wonderful.

Thinking of this, Zhu Tianwang twitched his beard and looked worried, "Of course there is no problem for the few of us to go back to the south of the Yangtze River. But what about the tens of thousands of water workers and their families here? Now there are only 200 people in Dagukou. In addition to the sailors, each ship can hold 6000 people at most, and [-] ships can only transport [-] people at a time.

If you go to the south of the Yangtze River... sailing on the sea depends on the wind, and there are many southeast winds in spring and summer, so going south is a headwind. I'm afraid it will take several months to travel! "

"This is impossible!" Zhang Da, the boss of the Cao Gang, immediately shook his head, "There are tens of thousands of people here at Dagukou... How long will it take?"

Jiao San also nodded and said: "If we abandon the crowd and go south, even if we become rich, we will have no face to see our brothers in Jiuquan again after death."

Hearing what they said, Zhu Tianwang immediately posed the problem to Yang Qilong, "Mr. Yang, tens of thousands of people here have followed you, you have to make up your mind!"

Yang Qilong was already thinking about it, and he frowned, and said in deliberation: "If you can't go back to Jiangnan, and you can't go to Liaodong, then you have to go to Dengzhou... The rear of the Dongjiang Army was actually Denglai. Second House."

"Is it Dengzhou Prefecture in Shandong Province?" Zhu Tianwang said, "I called there when I came here. Qiu Baozi still left 300 people on Changshan Island in the sea outside Dengzhou Prefecture!"

"It's Dengzhou Prefecture in Shandong Province!" Yang Qilong laughed, "We can first transport people to Changshan Island in batches. There is only a few hundred miles of water from Tianjin to Dengzhou, and it is easy to borrow wind from east to west. The wind direction should be By the way, you can cover these hundreds of miles of waterway in one day.

And you don't need to bring so much rations and fresh water to Dengzhou, so you can transport more people.The tens of thousands of people here in Haikou, Tianjin will definitely be transported out in a month.It is estimated that Kang Mazi's army has not finished resting by then! "

"That would be great!" Zhu Tianwang laughed, "Let's arrange it like this!"

Yang Qilong thought for a while, and then said: "We can also choose [-] warriors from among the water workers, plus [-] elite soldiers, and the first batch will go there. Don't go to Changshan Island, just land in Penglai County and fight Dengzhou City!

Now that Qing Yao's troops are tight, there must be no soldiers in Dengzhou.As long as we win Dengzhou, we will have a good place to attack and defend! "

Zhu Tianwang also felt his eyes light up, and he laughed and said: "The land in Dengzhou is not too important, but it is very different now... Our Daming is now the overlord of the Eastern and Southern Seas! Dengzhou is here. In our hands, we can go north to Liaodong, west to Zhili, east to Korea, and south to Qilu at any time!

But Qing Yao wanted to attack Dengzhou, but he had no choice but to attack by land from the west of Dengzhou! "

Yang Qilong nodded: "Back then, Dongjiang Town's money and food were transported by the Second Mansion of Denglai. After we gain a foothold in Dengzhou, we can follow the example of Marshal Mao of Dongjiang and use Dengzhou as the rear. Then we will connect with North Korea in the east and take Lushun in the north. , create an anti-Qing and anti-Qing situation in the rear of the Qing demon!"

Zhu Tianwang smiled: "We can also let the court in the south of the Yangtze River send money and food to Dengzhou... We will recruit Shandong warriors in Dengzhou, train them into an army, and then transport them directly to Liaodong. Starting from Lushunkou, we will go step by step. Go to Shanhaiguan! If this road is successful, Kang Mazi will not even be able to become Emperor Qingshun!"

Yang Qilong looked at Zhu Tianwang and said: "It's not too late... let's act now!"

Zhu Tianwang patted his chest and said: "I can decide this matter, I am King Ming's father!"

Yang Qilong nodded and thought to himself: "Dengzhou is hanging out alone, and the Nanjing court can't control it at all, and a lot of money has to be poured into it... Except Zhu Tianwang, the 'imperial father', it's really hard for others to control it. .”

Zhu Tianwang said with a smile at this time: "By the way, after taking down Dengzhou, I will find a fast boat and send it to the south of the Yangtze River. You have to tell me that bad boy, Burni, who entered Beijing first, has restored the Great Yuan Dynasty and became the Great Yuan Dynasty." God bless the emperor! Our family not only has to fight against the Qing Dynasty, but also against the Yuan Dynasty...it's getting more and more lively!"

Yang Qilong sighed: "This matter really needs to be discussed with King Ming." He pondered for a while, "Heavenly King, why don't I go to Nanjing myself!"

"But Dengzhou..." Seeing that Yang Qilong was about to leave, Zhu Tianwang was also a little anxious.Even if it is defeated in Dengzhou, it will be a big mess!

Yang Qilong said with a smile: "The matter in Dengzhou is easy to handle... Burni gave me 10 taels of gold, which can be regarded as a share of the spoils we robbed Beijing with him. With this 10 taels of gold, what else can we do?

We can't recruit soldiers, food, craftsmen, and spend money to buy them, and some people are not happy?Those Shandong people should know that Daming is so rich now, why not rush to participate in the anti-Qing and Fuming?As far as I know, there are quite a few heroes who fought against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty in Shandong. "

When Zhu Tianwang heard that he had so much money, he burst into laughter immediately: "That's good, that's good... With this one hundred thousand gold, this Dengzhou Prefecture is our territory! Junshi Yang, you can talk to me again when you arrive in Nanjing." Let me talk about it carefully, send more gold and silver... It's time to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, don't be afraid of spending money!"

……

Sure enough, Zhu Tianwang and Yang Qilong, who were not afraid of spending money, regained Dengzhou City very quickly.

Even though Zhu Tianwang only brought more than 3000 Lu divisions to the north this time, but these 3000 people are the elite selected from the more than [-] Ming army, and their combat effectiveness is extremely strong.

In addition, Wu Sanwei, who followed Zhu Tianwang to the north and was in charge of commanding the Lu division's operations, also had some real skills.

After he landed on the beach in Penglai County, he took 100 decent Ming army elites to the city of Dengzhou without using those waterworkers.First set up the rocket launcher and fired more than [-] rockets, and then people called Yu Jiuru, a naval battalion officer who stayed in Dengzhou, to answer.

Didn't say much, just asked someone to bring out 3000 taels of gold... Then the navy general of the Qing court, who was born in the same class as Wu Sanwei, suddenly awakened his national consciousness, and resolutely led thousands of soldiers Navy officers and soldiers joined the anti-Qing and Ming-ming cause together.

Because there are dozens of large ships that originally belonged to the Qing army in Dengzhou Water City to help transport people and horses (there are [-] Mongolian horses, these are treasures!), tens of thousands of water workers and their families in Haikou, Tianjin, It was shipped to Terengganu in less than half a month.

And Yang Qilong, his sister Yang Ziyun, and his continuation Pang Zi, with several thousand catties of luggage, left Dengzhou Water City on February [-]th in a Ming Navy sandship, and more than a month later, three On the [-]th of January, it arrived at Nanjing Longjiangkou Port.

Chapter 474 Yang Xiuqing, pay the tax!

Miss Yang Ziyun, the sister of Yang Xiuqing (that is, Yang Qilong), the Zuo Fu Zhengjun of the Ming Dynasty, would never have imagined that the person who greeted her eldest brother at the Longjiangkou Wharf, the water portal of Yingtianfu in Nanjing, was not a dignitary of the Nanjing court, but a dignitary. It's... the head of the Longjiang Customs Customs Department under the Customs Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs of the Ming Dynasty, dressed in black, and several tax collectors holding ledgers, tax stamps, and abacus.

"Tax customs? Do you have eyes? Do you know whose ship this is? Do you know who my brother Yang Xiuqing is?"

When the group of tax collectors boarded the ship, Yang Qilong was preparing the title book and memorial in his own cabin - he had a master in the first place, so he didn't have to write and write by himself.But this time going north to carry out a secret mission, it is not convenient to bring the master.So he had to prepare the inscriptions for the Military Advisor's Mansion, the Prime Minister's Mansion of Zhongshu and the memorial for Zhu Heqi himself.

Because the process of going north to make troubles this time is too tortuous, and the story is too exciting-the empress dowager and empress of the Qing Dynasty both lived in the Eight Great Alleys. Can this story not be exciting?And Yang Qilong was able to write, he couldn't put down the brush when he picked it up, so he didn't even know the sandboat was on the pier.

Of course, Mr. Yang, who is immersed in creation, is not worried about any troubles in the sandboat he is riding on?This is a navy ship!

Moreover, when Yang Qilong and his party passed by Zhenjiang, they knew that the Yangzhou camp of the Qing army in Guazhoubu on the opposite bank had been occupied by the Ming army, and now the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River were dominated by Ming.

In addition, according to the flag management method of Ming Navy ships.When the sandboat that Yang Qilong was riding on entered the waters controlled by the Ming Navy, it would hoist the "Military Division Flag"!

Only the current left and right military divisions are eligible to own the "Military Division Flag"!

And Daming's Military Advisor's Mansion is equivalent to the Army Staff Headquarters of the later generations, and the left and right military advisors are of high authority, so it stands to reason that no one would dare to provoke them.

However, when the sandboat that Master Yang was riding on docked at Longjiangkou Wharf, the tax collectors from Longjiangguan came on board smiling and touching the tiger's butt.

The head of Longjiang Customs who dared to touch a tiger's butt was named Chen Yidao, and he was from Hengzhou Prefecture, Hunan Province.The name looks like a pig butcher, but in fact he is a scholar, and he also participated in the Guangzhou imperial examination three years ago.However, he lost his name to Sun Shan and was not admitted to Jinshi.

Although he did not pass the Jinshi exam, he still found a job in the household department of the Guangzhou imperial court-to be a customs officer!

Probably the name given by parents is too suitable for being a tax collector-whoever comes here will have to be slaughtered!This Chen Yidao's official career in the Customs Department of the Daming Household Department was really smooth sailing. A few months ago, he was transferred to Nanjing to participate in the "New Tax System Training Course". His Royal Highness Ming Wang personally taught them the most advanced tax collection methods in the world.

Chen Yidao's family was originally a businessman—his father opened the largest butcher shop in Hengyang County, so he knew how to do accounts and do business since he was a child. Graduated with a grade of .1.Then he was appointed as the "No. [-] Customs in the World", the head of Nanjing Longjiang Tax Customs.

Unexpectedly, within a few days after he took office as a new official, he would meet an aunt who "can't afford to mess with".

Chen Yidao is not a tough-faced tax collector. He is a smiling tax collector who makes money with kindness. After saying "Grandma Yang", my patience ran out a bit.

"Miss Yang," Chen Yidao took out a small book called "New Tariff Manual" while accompanying him with a smile, and handed it to Yang Ziyun with both hands, "This is the "New Tariff Manual" written by the sage King Ming himself...in today's In Yingtian Mansion, not only the wealthy businessmen, but also the officials all have a copy. Mr. Yang’s business trip has probably been quite a while, and I’m afraid he hasn’t received this "New Tariff Manual". He sees it?"

Miss Yang stared wide-eyed, "Why am I looking at this? I don't do business!"

Chen Yidao was not angry at all, and continued to explain with a smile: "In this dynasty, there are many restrictions on officials and family members doing business...but no matter how restrictive, business is always inevitable. If nothing else, it is the gift of the military advisor. The grain harvested in the field must be sold, right? If you want to sell grain, you have to pay taxes!"

Absolutely prohibiting officials from doing business is impossible in today's New Ming Dynasty, because all officials of New Ming Dynasty own the most important means of production in the farming era - land!

They themselves are the "owning class", and after owning the means of production, it is inevitable to participate in the management.

Running a farm can also be seen as a kind of business.

In addition, the Nanyang Chartered Trading Company, Dongchang Guanyinhao, West Nitrate Factory, South Apparatus Factory, Nei Gunpowder Factory and other joint ventures and factories supported by Zhu Heqi also have officials' shares or have officials working in them. .

Therefore, Zhu Hexi's Ming court adopted restrictions rather than blanket bans on the issue of officials doing business.

Chen Yidao went on to say: "In addition, it is also allowed for officials to use their official ships to bring some goods when they go out or go out to perform official duties...but this tax must be paid!"

Miss Yang's eyes widened: "What's wrong? My aunt just refuses to pay, what can you do to me?"

Chen Yidao said with a smile: "Miss Yang doesn't know something... Although the Ming Dynasty's customs duties have not been fully implemented, there is no way not to pay them at the trial customs in Yingtian Mansion, Suzhou Mansion, Guangzhou Mansion and various customs. "

"What will happen if you don't pay?" Miss Yang opened her almond-shaped eyes, "Grandma just doesn't want to pay!"

Chen Yidao was not in a hurry, and still wanted to explain to her slowly: "Miss Yang, you don't know... It's very difficult to escape and resist the tariffs! Because Yingtianfu, Suzhoufu, Guangzhou The government's main commercial ports and maritime trade fairs are guarded by tax collectors, and all goods entering and leaving must show special tax stamps.

The tentative tax rate of this customs duty is [-] taxes and [-]... a batch of goods is only paid once before the delivery of the final buyer.Duty-paid goods will not only get tax invoices, but also special wrapping paper for customs.As long as the package is not unpacked and the tax invoices are complete, no matter how many times the goods have changed hands before the goods reach the buyer for final use or retail, as long as the tax invoices are complete and the packaging is not damaged, there is no need for traffic tariffs.

When the final buyer receives the goods, he will also receive the tax invoice at the same time, and report to the tax customs at the place of receipt.If they don't collect tax stamps from sellers, they have to ask for their own pockets to pay taxes for sellers... No one does this loss-making business, so goods without tax stamps have to be sold cheaply. "

He paused, and then said: "And at the end of each year, the customs duties of the Customs Department of the Ministry of Households will be carried out in response to the large merchants and handicraft workshops in Tianfu, Suzhou, Guangzhou, and various customs offices. Verification of taxes... The businessman who has produced more customs clearance stamps will be able to reduce or exempt commercial tax in the coming year, and can also get extra points for school entrance examinations, priority in undertaking government purchases and being selected for the advisory council, and many other benefits. If the tax stamps handed over are too Less, then the business tax will increase a little in the coming year!"

After hearing Chen Yidao's explanation, Yang Ziyun frowned slightly, and muttered in a low voice: "Who is so wicked to come up with such a tax law?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard someone cough, "What? Is this new tariff law very wicked?"

Yang Ziyun looked up, and saw a tall, bearded man in black robes with a fierce look swaggering on board the boat with a fan.

When Chen Yidao saw this man, he was about to salute, but he waved his hand lightly to stop him.

Yang Ziyun thought that the man in black robe was also a big tax collector, so he was not afraid at all, he puffed out his chest, raised his eyebrows, "My brother doesn't do business, and he doesn't help people bring goods, so there is no goods on board, just a little luggage , do you want to increase the tax too?"

The black-robed man said: "There is also a quota for duty-free and inspection-free luggage, and the excess will be subject to tax!

In addition, if the gold and silver carried by your brother is physical gold and silver, if it exceeds a certain amount, you will also have to pay taxes! "

"My brother's gold and silver?" Miss Yang's expression changed when she heard this, she looked at the man in black and asked, "You, who are you?"
