Chongzhen Chat Group

Big gift? What kind of gift? The farmland newly reclaimed by Jianlu has almost been destroyed. This is a great gift! Emperor Chongzhen was a little confused and asked about the specific situation.

Hai Lanzhu immediately replied: "It was Tong Yangxing, the chief military officer in charge of farming in Jianlu. He took the serfs several times to stop us from destroying the farmland, which made my brother angry. He said that he was overestimating his capabilities, so he decided to take his leader Give it to Your Majesty."

Tong Yangxing, some said he was Han, others said his ancestors were Jurchens. Anyway, he was doing business in Fushun, and he was doing a lot of business. No matter what, they are all from Ming Dynasty. In 1616, he used all his wealth as a gift to seek refuge with the wild boar Pinurhachi. It can be said that the large amount of money he provided was a great help to Ye Bohskin at the beginning of the rebellion. Therefore, Ye Zhupi was overjoyed and immediately chose a daughter of the clan to marry him, named "Shi Wuli's Prince Consort".

Huang Taiji also appreciated Tong Yangxin very much and always used him in important ways, even more than Fan Wencheng. Fan Wencheng had no real power before. But Tong Yang was good-natured and was the chief military officer in charge of the Han slaves. In the original history, at this point in time, he was already commanding a firearms unit composed of Han people, named "Wuzhen Hachao", and made great contributions to the capture of the Daling River.

In this plane, due to the lack of food, it was impossible to form a firearms unit, so Huang Taiji was changed to the chief agricultural officer responsible for opening up wasteland and farming in the north. The matter of food was Huang Taiji's greatest concern, but it was left to Tong Yangxing. This shows Tong Yangxing's status.

It is not certain whether he is a traitor or not, but he is definitely one of the most famous traitors in the late Ming Dynasty, which is a sure thing. It was also because he had such a great reputation that after Wu Keshan was blocked by him several times, he became ruthless and wanted to capture him and offer it to the Ming Emperor. He was sure that this Tong Yangxing was definitely someone the Ming Kingdom wanted to deal with quickly!

This is not because Wu Keshan was so bold that he wanted to cause extra trouble even when he knew that Jianlu was chasing and intercepting him. Rather, he felt that he had a high degree of confidence in accomplishing this.

Wu Keshan's men were two thousand elites of the Horqin tribe, specially selected, and they had one man and two horses. But Tong Yangxing originally had some troops in his hands, but Huang Taiji recruited a large army from all over the country, including Jianlu who were over fifteen years old, not to mention the troops in Tong Yangxing's hands.

Therefore, the people in Tong Yangxing's hands were actually the serfs responsible for opening up wasteland and farming. He was incited by him, saying that he would stop Wu Keshan from destroying the grain fields, otherwise everyone would starve to death. Therefore, they took these serfs to hinder Wu Keshan's elite cavalry.

Although the final result was useless, after all, the combat power of the two armies was not at the same level. Tong Yangxing's men did not even have the most basic weapons. But under his harassment, Wu Keshan was indeed hindered. This made Wu Keshan very angry, so he did it.

"Your Majesty, Tong Yangxing suffered heavy losses and is now being chased by my brother and fleeing in embarrassment." Hai Lanzhu reported the details, "My brother said that in one day at most, we can surround Tong Yangxing and capture him. !”

Emperor Chongzhen heard something and immediately asked: "You mean, you and your brother are no longer together?"

"Well, my brother asked me to take a detour with 500 people to block Tong Yangxing in front. He followed Tong Yangxing and chased him. I think we can meet up tomorrow evening and block Tong Yangxing!" Hai Lanzhu replied.

Emperor Chongzhen frowned slightly after hearing this. Among the pursuing Jianlu troops, he had no informants of his own, so he didn't know where Jianlu was. But judging from the time, Jianlu must have surrounded them. So, he warned again: "The strategic goal of this war has been achieved. Although Tong Yangxing is the one I want to defeat, there is no need to take risks for him. The future is long and there are plenty of opportunities. After you join your brother, tell me The decree tells him not to delay any longer, otherwise the risk will be too great, and to return to the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible, safety first!"

Hearing this, Hai Lanzhu was filled with relief. The young emperor cared about him after all. So, she quickly agreed.

After handling this matter, Emperor Chongzhen checked other private chats and chat records in the chat group, focusing on two aspects. One is the suppression of pirates on the southeast coast. There is only Zheng Zhilong's naval force, and the power at sea is still too weak. Especially now that the pirates are scattered and plundering everywhere, Zheng Zhilong is exhausted, running around to save the situation, and the situation is a bit tense for a while. However, Li Zhiqi's Denglai Navy has arrived soon. When the two naval divisions join together, their strength will be greatly increased, and the situation should change.

The Portuguese in Macau did not dare to rebel like the Dutch in Taiwan. In the end, they obediently sent out a fleet to trade in the Southeast Asia. At the same time, they also took on the task of escorting the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty.

There is another thing that I am concerned about, which is more important than this, and it is about the Ming Dynasty's personal income tax, or the collection of luxury tax. The previous half-year buffer for surrendering and violating laws is almost here. This matter can be said to be a major event in the next few years. It must be strictly implemented to change the Ming Dynasty's culture, and at the same time, it also collects taxes from wealthy businessmen in disguise.

From the information we have received so far, and from the chats between people from the southeast and northwest in the chat group, we can know that most people, especially the rich in Jiangnan, are still waiting and watching, and have not paid for their illegal regulations. In this regard, Emperor Chongzhen also understood the reason. For example, the mansions of the great salt merchants were almost as good as the palace gardens. If they wanted to continue to enjoy the previous luxury according to the decree issued previously, they would definitely have to bleed a lot. For these businessmen, they are definitely not happy.

After Emperor Chongzhen verified the situation again from the chat group, he made up his mind and decided to start the reform of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the army while the Liaodong war came to an end and a major victory was achieved.

In fact, he had been considering this matter for a long time. He had not done anything before because he had a close friend, Jianlu, and the war in Liaodong had to be the top priority. But after two years of consumption, at least in terms of food, Jianlu has been holding on to Jianlu's seven inches and cannot make any big waves. In the Liaodong War, the initiative was already in the hands of Ming Dynasty.

The supervision and enforcement of compliance violations cannot completely rely on the original local governments and factory guards. After all, the relationship between local governments and local governments is intricate, and it is difficult to predict how strong the enforcement will be. Factory guards are unconventional forces. Their original tasks are very heavy and they can no longer be used for such large-scale surveillance operations. The reforms of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the military can just meet this demand.
