Chapter 4: It's Time to Kill the Pigs

If you listen to it roughly, what Su Ke Saha said is also very reasonable, and Yue Le couldn't find a reason to refute it for a while. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

On the contrary, Prince Kang Jieshu put forward a point: "Master Su, Xiao Wang thinks that although what you said has a certain truth, it will not be beneficial to my Qing Dynasty to let Wu Sangui invade the capital!" If Wu Yingxiong is retained, Wu Sangui will be jealous, and we can buy more time in the customs and hoard more food before leaving the customs, so that waiting for the future to enter the customs will also have a better chance of winning. Besides, what if this Wu Sangui enters the capital first? Can he still be a rival to Wang Rebellion? ”

Yue Le immediately understood: "Yes, Master Su, instead of just giving up the capital to Wu Sangui, it is better to let Wu Sangui contain the thieves in Hanzhong!" Once Wu Sangui defeated the thief, he was also supported by Jiangnan Shizi! And that Wang Reverse, the changes he made in Jiangnan harmed the interests of the scholars, maybe the Jiangnan scholars in turn supported Wu Sangui! In addition, if Wu Sangui does not enter Shaanxi, our Tu University scholars in Xiangyang can also concentrate on resisting Wang Yi! ”

Suke Saha asked, "Don't kill Wu Yingxiong, but what does Ao Xiangye mean?" ”

Yue Le said: "It is exactly what Ao Xiangye meant!" Ao Xiangye considered that the emperor and the empress dowager did not trust the prime minister, so let's persuade the emperor and the empress dowager, I am afraid it will backfire. And Mrs. Su, you and Ao Xiangye have never dealt with each other, if you come forward, Mrs. Su, will be the most convincing to the emperor and the queen mother! Before the fall of Wuchang, Ao Xiangye once said that Taishi Su understands the righteousness and knows that the overall situation is the most important, let us come to you. ”

Sukh Saha lowered his head slightly, stroked his beard and pondered. After listening to Yue Le's words, Suke Saha was no longer very insistent on his original intentions, since Ao Bai had such a request before his death, there was always something reasonable for him. Although his own ideas are also reasonable, but taking the initiative to abandon the capital is not the best policy after all.

Thinking of this, Sukh Saha finally nodded: "Okay!" In that case, the old man went and talked to the emperor! The emperor knows that the old man and Ao Xiangye are mortal enemies, if the old man goes to say it, the effect is much better than if you say it! ”

"I don't know when Taishi Su can go to the emperor and the empress dowager to talk about this?" Yue Le asked uneasily.

Suke Saha said: "This matter should not be in a hurry, the two princes have just come to the old man's mansion, if the old man goes to explain to the emperor in the past two days, I am afraid that some people with ulterior motives will be suspicious!" It's better to wait for the two princes to return to Anqing first! Looking at the meaning of the emperor and Lafayette, he would not kill Wu Yingxiong so quickly. ”

"Then there is Master Lao Su! This matter is related to the life and death of my Qing Dynasty! Yue Le arched his hand.

Jie Shu also bowed: "Taishi can focus on the overall situation, regardless of the previous suspicions of the same master, which is really admirable to Xiao Wang!" ”

In the Forbidden City, Kangxi was losing his temper: "I will never withdraw from the Central Plains!" No refund! I want more new troops! Waiting for the new army to be trained, I will also drive the expedition in person, and personally kill Wang Rebellion, Wu Rebellion, Geng Rebellion, and Shang Rebellion! There are also thieves, thieves in the west, and those scholars in Jiangnan! I'm going to put them all to death one by one!" ”

Cao Xi smiled bitterly: "Master, but we don't have so much money to train the new army!" ”

"There's no silver to figure it out!" Kangxi roared, "What do I want you to do with this household book!" The six of you figure it out! You minions won't figure it out? Increase taxes, or borrow silver from Jin merchants and salt merchants! ”

At this moment, the voice of the chief eunuch Li Yinzheng duck-like came from outside: "The Empress Dowager Lafayette has arrived!" ”

Bumu Butai walked in with the support of Su Malagu.

Kangxi shouted: "Huang Ma, that dog slave in Tuhai is really hateful!" The emperor gave him the most elite Eight Banners New Army, but he was defeated by the emperor! This dog minion has really betrayed Huang Ma's trust in him! And Wu Sangui, the old dog! The emperor wanted to kill his son! ”

Bumu Butai said: "Good grandson, the defeat of Huguang is not because Tuhai is incompetent, there are two reasons, one is that Ao Bai is as timid as a mouse, fears the enemy like a tiger, refuses to fight, and misses the opportunity; Second, it is the people of the Guannai Banner who have been harmed by the special offerings of the Eight Banners, and they have already lost the martial arts of the year! If you want to build a new army of Eight Banners, you must send the Eight Banners from outside the customs to enter the customs, and then send those lustful dogs and horses in the customs who have fallen to the bitter cold place outside the customs to survive for a period of time! ”

"This, let the flag people in the customs temporarily go out of the customs, what should they do if they refuse?" Kangxi was dumbfounded.

"Refusal? Hum! Then deal with a few troublemakers! After dealing with a few, others will not dare! It's not like you won't come back if you go to Guanwai! Just go and grind and grind! I think back then, my banner warriors could still fight on horseback in the ice and snow, and spend the night under the belly of the horse at night! Now in winter, I don't dare to go out in the house! If the house doesn't have a hot kang and no earth dragon, it can't live anymore! Fallen like this, how can we still fight? I want to let them go to the customs for a few years! They will be able to restore the bravery of their ancestors! Bumu Butai snorted.

"Dispatch the bannermen outside the customs to train the new army, but it costs money to train the new army!" Kangxi said with a sad face.

Bumu Butai sneered: "The salt merchant has a lot of silver in his hand!" And the grain merchants of the canal! In the past few years, they have made a lot of money! It's like a fat pig, and it's time to slaughter! Now that the luck has been cut off, why are you still raising these profiteers? I guess they're all thinking about running away! ”

"If we get rid of the salt merchants, what will happen to the salt in our capital?" Kangxi asked.

Bumu Butai sneered and said, "The refined salt of the South Seas is cheap and good! The two Huai salt merchants are almost unable to operate, and they are all thinking of changing careers! It's better to take the opportunity to get rid of them. As for the grain merchants, the luck has also been cut off, and they are also thinking about changing careers, and it is time to kill pigs! ”

Kangxi asked: "If these merchants are removed, what will be done with so many porters and boatmen by the canal?" If the merchants are removed, who will these people go to get paid? ”

Bumu Butai laughed: "Get rid of those profiteers, of course the wages will be paid to them by the imperial court!" No, the imperial court does not pay wages, but military salaries! Since these people can't do their jobs anymore, they might as well be pulled all of them to become soldiers! We raided the houses of the profiteers, and gave them more of the money we had taken. So that they have no complaints! ”

Kangxi was overjoyed: "It's still the emperor's master!" Since they have nothing to do, then drag these people to war, and kill less troublemakers! ”

Bumu Butai said again: "Don't be in a hurry in this matter! Now that the Cao Yun has been cut off, and the Nanyang refined salt has hit the Huai Salt again, the salt merchants and the Cao Yun merchants naturally refuse to pay any more money to feed those people. As long as we endure it for a few months, the people will inevitably make a fuss! When the time comes, we will send troops and wipe out these profiteers! As for the Jin merchants, keep them for the time being, and wait until all the money copied from the Huai merchants is used up, and then get rid of the Jin merchants! ”
