As soon as Xia Wanchun finished speaking, he felt a tightening on his neck, and a big hand pinched his neck. Just as he was about to resist, the force on his neck suddenly increased, He lost the strength to resist in an instant.
He was lifted off the horse so softly, without any resistance.
"Why, the Secret Intelligence Service can't get into the eyes of the eldest young master now?"
After hearing Han Lingshan's voice, Xia Wanchun lamented, no longer intending to resist, just I can soften my body and let others swing around.
It stands to reason that it is a very embarrassing thing to be pinched by someone's neck without any resistance.
However, we still have to find out who is doing it.
If it was Han Lingshan, Xia Wanchun felt that it was completely bearable.
Because this has nothing to do with dignity and glory. If you can't beat it, you can't beat it, whether it's in terms of wisdom or force.
"What do you want to do in the palace?"
Back in a house that was neither too big nor too small, Han Lingshan finally started to ask questions.
Xia Wanchun untied the little baby girl tied to his chest, handed it to Han Lingshan and said: "Seek justice for this child."
Han Lingshan skillfully tied the little baby girl Holding the child in his arms, he said while looking at the child: "How are you going to seek justice?"
"I want to beat the emperor."
"Well, what happens next? "
"Then watch him die"
"What next?"
"No more, the debt will be wiped out."
Han Lingshan sneered and said: "The target we want to liquidate is not only the emperor, but also the entire corrupt Ming Dynasty. They have embezzled so much of the people's wealth and they have to spit it out."
Xia Wanchun said: "Are you saying that Mu Tiantao is liquidating?"
Han Lingshan nodded and said: "Mu Tiantao is not courageous enough. He only knows how to liquidate nobles, but does not know how to liquidate those. A corrupt official, a profiteer, a big landowner, a powerful man."
Xia Wanchun said: "From Mu Tiantao's point of view, this is the right thing to do. He cannot start a liquidation frenzy in Beijing. In that case. , this city cannot be defended."
Han Lingshan sneered and said: "Whether the city can be defended is none of our business. The old dynasty in the capital is the most evil. If Nothing can be changed without a major change."
Xia Wanchun said in surprise: "You mean, we are on Li Hongji's side this time?"
Han Ling Shan shook his head and said: "As before, Li Hongji will do the work, and we will accept the results. Okay, hold your sister well. Recently, the family members of the Lantian spy will be withdrawn to Lantian, and it just so happens that they took your sister back to hand over "Your mother."
"This is not my sister." Xia Wanchun frowned.
Han Lingshan sneered and said: "It is now."
Xia Wanchun looked at the little baby girl who was back in her arms and found thatThe guy has woken up and is smiling at him...
Emperor Chongzhen has been standing in the hall for a long time. At this time, Chongzhen felt that he was extremely powerful.
Especially when he saw the mountains of silver and gold ingots piled up in the main hall, he was filled with pride. With this money, he thought he was enough to defend the capital and wait for King Qin's army to come.
1,740,000 taels of silver were piled up in a mountain on the main hall. It was as heavy as the ballast stones of the Ming Dynasty, which was enough to stabilize the riddled road of the Ming Dynasty. broken ship.
"Your Majesty, Mu Tiantao is extremely unreasonable. He actually drags the father-in-law behind the horse and runs. It's a pity that the father-in-law is old and weak. How can he withstand such torture for less than a stick of incense? At that time, his plain clothes were torn, his skin was torn, and he was begging in front of the people in the city, but Mu Tiantao ignored him.
Not satisfied with getting one hundred thousand taels of silver from the governor's house, he even entered the inner house. Regardless of the dignity of the female family members, they forcibly searched and found sixteen large boxes under my mother's bed, but I didn't know that they were my mother's dowry...
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Your Majesty, I know that the country's affairs are difficult, but , Even if it is difficult, we can't be so disregardful of the royal face..."
Chongzhen glanced at Queen Zhou and said: "I remember when I launched the fund-raising campaign, the abbot once said that if a family has no money left, the family will be full. More than two hundred people saved me six thousand taels of silver.
Mu Tiantao did nothing wrong. Didn't he leave ten thousand taels of silver for the father-in-law? "
At this moment, Chongzhen was no longer in the mood to explain to Queen Zhou.
In his heart, he hated these nobles more than he hated the bandits and slaves in the world.
"Wang Cheng'en informed Zhang Jinyan, the Minister of War, and ordered him to immediately go eight hundred miles to hurry up. Bai Guangen, Wang Pu, Cao Bianjiao, and Wu Sangui immediately went south to Qinwang. After arriving in the capital, they needed the departure expenses. Double the allocation.
At the same time, I ordered Shuntian Mansion to tell the people that I will give generous rewards to those who work hard to kill the thieves."
With the money, Chongzhen felt that his lifeless court seemed to be back. Come alive.
Officials also have the strength to do things.
For officials, as long as Mu Tiantao cannot raise money for himself, it is a good thing.
As for the nobles who suffered, they really couldn’t sympathize with them.
The situation in the Ming Dynasty was so bad that it was about to collapse. They knew this better than the emperor. For them, the collapse of the dynasty was something they were extremely unwilling to see.
Now, the rogue soldiers are pressing down on the territory, and they also want to make a last stand.
Seeing the last five hundred thousand taels of salary being sent to the palace, Mu Tiantao breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that the money could not save the Ming Dynasty, but could at least give the emperor more courage to resist. .
Looking back, Mu Tiantao looked at the cold eyes of Chunlai in the crowd. He also understood that from this moment on, he became the person that the nobles of the Ming Dynasty most wanted to get rid of.The person who fell.
He doesn't care.
He only cares about the upcoming battle. This battle will be the most important thing in Mu Tiantao's life.
With the white money, Mu Tiantao obtained eight thousand warriors who were willing to fight to the death for money.
The guerrilla general of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion was the official position Mu Tiantao obtained after raising more than two million taels of military pay for the emperor.
The task of raising military pay has been completed, and Mu Tiantao immediately began arduous military training.
Every day, he would arrive at the school on time, the first to come and the last to leave. Every day, he would personally participate in any military training, and every time during the break, he would walk into the group of soldiers. , eat with them, live with them, and talk about the consequences of the bandits entering the city.
The truth he instilled in the soldiers was very simple - if you win, you will drink and eat meat, and the whole family will be happy; if you fail, your wife will be separated and your family will be destroyed.
In fact, his brutal behavior in the capital won the favor of most of the soldiers, and the aura of Prince Mu's palace also made the young soldiers regard him as a general they could follow.
Zhu Yuluo came to see Mu Tiantao every day, and stayed at the school military field for a long time every time. Her eyes never left Mu Tiantao's figure, sometimes she was shy and timid, and sometimes she was shy and timid. She would burst into tears again, and most of the time, she would just look at the only man she could rely on.
When Li Hongji’s army approached Tianjin, the capital finally closed all the city gates...
But in the dead of night, the city gates would become busy with traffic, and countless rich people Many families left the capital one after another, escaping into the wilderness and into the mountains in order to protect themselves.
However, their escape from the capital was not smooth.
Because outside the capital, some wealthy officials, nobles, royal relatives, and wealthy families can always meet some powerful bandits.
These bandits do not kill people, nor do they humiliate women. They only want one thing - money!
Even if it is money, they will not take away all of it, and will leave some money for the victim to survive.
The only exception is that not only were the family members of Taikang Bo Zhang Guoji not robbed of a penny by the robbers, but the robbers even told Taikang Bo Zhang Guoji's family members where the best hiding place was.
Tai Kangbo and Zhang Guoji were among the few people who tried their best to help the Ming Emperor when he was raising donations.
So, it was clear to everyone who the robber outside the city gate belonged to.
That is to say, because there are vicious bandits outside the city, the number of wealthy families who want to leave the capital to avoid trouble is rapidly decreasing.
After Xia Wanchun returned to the mansion where he lived, he took off the mask on his face, and first went to the bedroom to see the poor little baby girl, and saw that the child was beating in the nurse's arms. Then he returned to the hall, put his feet on the low table and let out a long breath.
I can get three in half a monthMore than one million taels of silver, which was beyond his expectation.
He used to think that the Ming Dynasty was very poor, the people were very poor, and the capital was very poor. After this incident, he understood a truth - the capital was really rich, but it was not in the national treasury or in the capital. The people, but in the hands of officials, nobles, eunuchs, big merchants, and big landowners.
All the money received was transported away. Soon, the money will be turned into food, medicine, cloth, and materials for post-disaster reconstruction.
This is an economic issue.
Lantian officials are now very skilled in disaster relief.
Disaster relief and epidemic prevention are integrated. Xia Wanchun understands that as long as the intruders enter the capital, his historical mission will be completed. He will soon face Li Dingguo's southward army and Yun Yang's eastward army.
No army in the world can face these two modern legions with a total of more than 200,000 troops at the same time.
The number of artillery pieces alone exceeds two thousand.
These artillery pieces have long been out of their original state of firing big iron balls. There are five types of artillery shells in the Yunyang Legion alone, and each type of artillery shells are carefully selected and retained.
Explosive bombs, kerosene bombs, phosphorus fire bombs, city-breaking bombs, and near-proof grenades.
Each type of artillery shell is developed according to the actual needs of war, and is incredibly powerful.
Xia Wanchun knew that the master was waiting for the news of Chongzhen's death. Once Chongzhen died, the master would be able to hold high the banner of "avenging the emperor" and quickly dominate the world, and inherit all the inheritance of the Ming Dynasty.
Then, open up a new world!
The little baby girl’s gurgling laughter came from the bedroom. Xia Wanchun stood up and smiled, then put on the mask again, checked the equipment on her body, and then walked out of the residence quietly. place.
After meeting a group of men in black, they merged into the vast darkness again.
