Chapter 89 Zhongliang

At this time, Wenhua Palace.

After the ceremony, Xu Guangqi took the initiative to ask Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, I have heard from the alley recently that Your Majesty wants to take action against the Shanxi merchants, and sent Qin Liangyu and Qi Jin tribe to assist. However, as far as I know, the Shanxi merchants have been doing business in border towns and Mongolians since Altan and Gong. Their power is mixed and their financial resources are immeasurable. Therefore, I am worried that there will be any changes, especially whether the Qin and Qi tribes will be tempted to use them because of these Shanxi merchant relics. I dare not not remind Your Majesty."

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Xu Guangqi and said, "That's up to see if the Qin and Qi tribes are real soldiers."

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao said again: "You should be clear that this real sergeant is different from a businessman. Merchants value profit and use their own interests to capture people's hearts. For real sergeants, do you know what they value?"

Xu Guangqi thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty has understood that if you are a real soldier, you will never be tempted by profit."

"Yes, the most important thing for real soldiers is honor, not just interests. Otherwise, all the soldiers of my Ming Dynasty can be bribed. I am the orthodox of the world. Only I can give the real soldiers a lofty honor, and no one can give it to them!"

Zhu Youxiao said, "But if I can really buy all the soldiers with money, I am more qualified than the Shanxi merchants. I am a rich man. If I am willing, I can buy the hearts of the soldiers in the world."

Zhu Youxiao was not lying. The reason why the Qing Dynasty allowed the Ming Dynasty's border surrender army to play a strong combat power when pacifying Jiangnan was to allow these Ming Dynasty border surrender army to plunder Jiangnan, which was equivalent to allowing these military soldiers who were always looked down upon by the gentry of Jiangnan to plunder Jiangnan's wealth. Therefore, these military soldiers were extremely enthusiastic.

Therefore, if Zhu Youxiao also granted the nine border troops in the world to plunder the wealth of Jiangnan, he would naturally be able to win the hearts of the nine border troops and start a country with a military dictatorship.

"Your Majesty is wise, and I am too worried. When Qin Liangyu's husband was executed by the temple, Shi Feng was not unfaithful. Now Your Majesty rehabilitated him, posthumously granted official titles, and made his son a close minister. He was even more grateful to Huairen, so he would not betray Your Majesty. The Qi family was posthumously awarded the title of marquis, and it was impossible for him to lose his ancestors for profit."

Xu Guangqi started talking.

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "But things in the world are unpredictable. Before the end, the results will be very certain. If Qin Liangyu and others are not reliable, it undoubtedly means that the Ming Dynasty is really ruined. There is no need to practice the new army based on the children of the generals in various places in the Ming Dynasty. I don't have to stay in the Forbidden City to be an emperor. It's better to go back to Fengyang, re-take Taizu's path, and call on the people of the world to re-raising the flag of righteousness."

"Please rest assured to you! Although you are more civil and military, you are more fond of money and are more fond of wealth, but you are also loyal ministers and good generals! Xu Guangqi, the minister, dare not speak of the hearts of the world, but since he is a minister of the Ming Dynasty, he will be a ghost of the Ming Dynasty even after his death."

Xu Guangqi hurriedly expressed his loyalty. He did not think that what the emperor said would happen. After all, he himself had never thought of being disloyal to the Ming Dynasty and the country.

...

On the Zhangjiakou Fort, Qin Liangyu did not disappoint Zhu Youxiao. After learning Fan Ming's intention, he immediately snorted: "A gentleman loves money and gets it well. My white-sling soldiers should belong to their own military pay, not those who are profit-oriented. These Shanxi merchants' behavior really insults all my white-sling brothers! If we really want to be greedy for money and directly rob the people, we will not only be bloody for military pay! Besides, my white-sling soldiers are brave and good at fighting because of strict military orders and only obeying your orders! And never dare to be unfaithful! Even in front of swords, guns and arrows, they will not change their ambitions! Can I take away my white-sling soldiers' ambitions?!"

Qin Liangyu said that, then rode his horse and pulled the strings to the Zhejiang soldiers camp, looking at Qi Jin and shouting: "Mr. Qi! Are you going to let Your Majesty down?!"

Qi Jin held a musket and lit the fuse, cursing: "The surname of Qin! You are so underestimated. Your Majesty has granted the Marquis of Qi's Sect. If I, Qi Jin, betray Your Majesty for these millions of taels of silver, I would be ashamed of my ancestors!"

Qin Liangyu laughed: "Marty Qi is worthy of being the descendant of my loyal and good general of the Ming Dynasty!"

As he said that, Qin Liangyu rode his horse over and shouted to Xu Xianchun: "Xu Dazhao, we are here to assist you in handling the case. Can you hurry up!"

Xu Xianchun breathed a sigh of relief and was moved. He thought to himself that Daming was not all a bastard, but also a loyal minister and a good general. For a moment, he couldn't help feeling guilty for his hesitation because of the temptation of millions of taels of silver at the beginning, and responded loudly to Qin Liangyu: "Then please ask General Qin and others to kill the rioters in front of him together!"

Because Ning Guolong and Wang Wei had already obtained the order of Wen Quan to lead their servants to attack the Jinyiwei, Xu Xianchun's Jinyiwei first fought with Ning Guolong and Wang Wei's servants.

After Xu Xianchun learned that Qin Liangyu and Qi Jin did not betray His Majesty because of the profit of five million taels of silver, he was worried and suddenly became bolder and rushed towards Ning Guolong and Wang Wei's servants with a knife.

The other Jinyiwei also had a great morale, and they had no intention of fighting with Ning Guolong and Wang Wei's servants.

At that time, Qin Liangyu and Qi Jin led the Baigan soldiers and Zhejiang soldiers to fight against Ning Guolong and Wang Wei's servants.

Ning Guolong and Wang Wei's family members were obviously unable to withstand the attack inside and outside.

For a moment, Wang Wei hurriedly fled into Zhangjiakou Fort City with the remaining servants. The Jinyiwei followed him and bombarded the city gate that had not been blocked with artillery.

Ning Guolong was also panicked and hurried to break through with his servants. However, not long after, because his horse was hit by Zhejiang soldiers and firearms, he fell to the ground and was captured alive by Zhejiang soldiers.

Wen Quan and Fan Ming on the city gate looked at all this with surprise.

Wen Quan looked at the city with no eyes at this time and said to Fan Ming: "Your strategy for buying is useless."

Fan Ming said ashamed: "Students are just trying, but they didn't expect that there are really people who don't like money."

Then, Fan Ming looked at Wen Quan with a trembling voice: "The Jinyiwei has come in, what should I do? Can I drive them out?"

Snap!

Wen Quan pulled out the knife, took out his handkerchief and wiped the knife face: "It's useless! Just us can't stop them."

As he said that, Wen Quan suddenly put the knife on his neck and said, "Your Majesty wants the minister to die, but the minister has to die. Please accept your fate!"

Wen Quan said that, and then he wiped it hard, and suddenly, blood burst out.

"Yes, yes, the student is just a businessman!"

As Fan Ming said, he saw Wen Quan lying on the ground with wide eyes.

Wang Wei happened to run up at this time and said in a panic: "What should I do now?"

As soon as Wang Wei finished speaking, he saw Wen Quan committing suicide. He said "ah" for a moment, then pulled out the knife, put the knife on his neck angrily, and fell to the ground.

Fan Ming was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and then he also wanted to pick up Wen Quan's knife and kill himself.

For a moment, Fan Ming gritted his teeth and held the heavy knife with both hands, but as soon as he put it on his neck, he hesitated. After this hesitation, his shoulders lost strength and the knife hit the ground all at once.

With a clanging sound.

Fan Ming also sat down on the ground dejectedly: "I can't do it, I can't do it! This is too difficult!"

At this time.

The Jinyiwei had already rushed up, and the Baigan soldiers and Zhejiang soldiers also killed the servants outside and rushed into the fort.
Chapter completed!
