Chapter 231: September
Recently, the Zhejiang Party has been weak, and it can't protect Yang Hao, and the Donglin Party has no good impression of Yang Hao, and Zhu Changluo often hears people say bad things about Yang Hao in the East Palace, and immediately responds: "What my father said is that the son must deal with Yang Ho heavily." ”
"Xiong Tingbi must not be changed!"
"What?"
Wanli said loudly: "Recently, Xiong Tingbi has been doing everything properly and steadily in Liaodong, and he doesn't seem to have done anything, but in fact, he has forced Donglu to no longer violate the border, I see that he is acting in an orderly manner, and the tripartite arrangement is very precise, this person is right, you have to use him to the end, until the Liao affairs subside." ”
Zhu Changluo didn't have a deep understanding of Xiong Tingbi, and he didn't have any bad feelings, so he said at the moment: "Erchen knows." ”
"I have been slacking off on national politics in recent years, and you must not do so."
"Yes, Father."
"Fang Congzhe can still be the first assistant, this person is quite reliable."
"Erchen knows."
Zhu Changluo was heavily influenced by the radical faction of the Donglin Party, Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang three parties liquidated Donglin in the forty-sixth year of Wanli, opening the curtain of party contention, Fang Congzhe's ability to coordinate the parties was completely destroyed, and the moderate faction of the Donglin Party also maintained a cooperative relationship with Fang Congzhe, and the radicals have decided to go to Fang, recently Zhu Changluo often heard the voice of dissatisfaction from the other party Congzhe, he is a soft-eared person, and Donglin has a great favor with him, so it has been decided to replace the first assistant, and replace the Donglin Party to succeed, at this time his words to Wanli are also obviously perfunctory.
Wanli didn't hear it, Zhu Changluo was still very respectful, and he followed his instructions in everything, and Wanli felt relieved.
He looked at Zhu Changluo and muttered: "I am your father and the emperor, some things are not very good, but after all, the ancestral family business is completely passed to your hands, now the four seas are calm, the country is peaceful, only the Liao affairs are still worried for a while, but it is not a big problem, the east is only tens of thousands of Dingkou, as long as the people are properly employed, the Liao affairs are only a few years old, the important thing is to repair the politics, re-enrich the treasury, and the Liao salary will be canceled after the Liao affairs are settled, and the people's livelihood will be left to disturb the people's livelihood......"
Zhu Changluo cried: "My father is still going to raise his body, and his body is important. ”
Wanli said: "I will go on a big trip, and there are days of rest...... Go underground to see the ancestors and ancestors, and I, the emperor, can still be considered to have lived......"
In Wanli's eyes, although his forty-eight years as emperor were flawed and criticized, he was generally successful. There is the glory of the three major expeditions of Wanli, the fact that the people have nothing to do in Jiangnan is getting richer, and there is also the abundance of the treasury brought by the Qingzhang and the whip law around the ten years of Wanli, and the martial arts and martial arts, all of which are commendable.
In the end, Wanli waved his hand tiredly, Zhu Changluo got up to say goodbye, and Wanli suddenly said: "The prince ......"
Zhu Changluo was slightly startled and said, "What else does my father command?" ”
Wanli said: "If I really can't afford it, you can send internal money to Liaodong, and there are still millions of silver in my inner treasury, which is enough to support the pacification of Liao." ”
Zhu Changluo knew that the old man probably didn't tell the truth, Wanli had the character factor of his maternal grandfather Li Wei's greed and greed, and he didn't know how much wealth he had accumulated over the past few decades, and he himself was not interested in these.
At the moment, he only comforted Wanli and said: "The country still has wealth, and the ministers only like to cry poor when they have nothing to do, why not!" ”
Wanli was comforted in his heart, nodded slightly, and this time he lay down, but he stopped talking.
……
"The Emperor is dead?"
On the way back to Lizhuang from Lingqiu, Zhang Han received this somewhat unexpected and expected news.
Wang Faxiang has long had news coming back, Emperor Wanli's health is not as good as day by day, and Zhang Han himself also remembers that Wanli Bingguo is only more than 40 years, and it is not 50 years, and there are only a handful of emperors who have been in the country for more than 50 years, there are two in the Manchu Dynasty, and there is no one in the Ming Dynasty, this news is not unexpected.
Zhang Han was quite calm, and the people around him were inevitably a little frightened, including Sun Jingting.
Everyone is accustomed to the word "Wanli", many people, including Sun Anle, almost grew up in the Wanli years, like Sun Jingting and Liang Xing, these people are sensible when they know that Wanli Ye is in charge, and now they are adults, the word Wanli has been deeply rooted in their hearts, as soon as they heard that the emperor died, even people like Yang Qiu, who had always had a gloomy face, had slightly red eyes.
Only then did Zhang Han know that the so-called "monarch father" was not two ordinary words in ancient times.
At this time, it rained, crackling and falling on everyone's body, forming a rain curtain in front of them, everyone's vision became blurred, Jiang Kui hurriedly took out the oil coat and helped Zhang Han get dressed, Zhang Han's face was drenched with a lot of rain, while wiping the water on his face, while saying to everyone: "Li Zunlu estimates that it will take a while to arrive in Beijing, and the new monarch will take the throne, I'm afraid it will be chaotic for a while, I don't know if he can handle things smoothly." ”
Yang Qiu said in a sullen voice: "Wang Faxiang said in the letter that he will follow Mr. Li, and he will run with him in everything." This person is very capable, and with his help, Mr. Li should be able to do well. ”
Sun Jingting said worriedly: "I hope so, the new monarch ascends the throne, there are many variables, at this time, I am afraid that the general yamen will not change their course, and everything is safe." ”
Zhang Han was also a little worried about this, but since he entrusted the matter to others, he had to trust everything, he whipped his horse and said, "This rain is really appropriate, but it is estimated that it will not rain much." Just like Emperor Wanli, after all, it is just this light rain, let's look forward to everything. ”
……
It's almost September, and the weather on the grassland has been getting colder and colder every day, and this year is another bitterly cold winter.
The cold wind continued overnight, and when Zhang Ziming walked out of his courtyard, he found that many people in Bansheng City had frozen to death.
Some of the corpses were bankrupt Han merchants or Han slaves, and some were Mongolians in Mongolian jackets, they were either bankrupt or old, and at the beginning of the cold winter, these people, whether Mongolian or Han, were silently frozen to death on the streets of Qingcheng.
Some of them, on the orders of officials sent by the Khanate, pushed carts, carried the bodies one by one, loaded them into the carts, and then pushed them out of the city and dumped them in mass graves.
Zhang Ziming had breakfast and came to the trading house in the city with his son.
Recently, there is almost no business, the Fan family and Yusheng two business houses have a long time to fight, has been used for several months to fight this indefinite business war, the Fan family keeps dumping, and Yusheng keeps buying a large number of goods, there are quite a lot of goods just arrived in Qingcheng and Yusheng and its Han merchants to buy together, simply can not reach the hands of the herdsmen, and then be urgently transported away.
When he arrived at his firm, Zhang Ziming found that a large convoy was already waiting in front of the door.
Zhang Ziming is also one of the Han merchants who cooperated with He Yusheng, and his store's store and courtyard are also full of goods.
The goods of the few commercial houses in the city that cooperated with the Fan family were not as much as those stored by He Yusheng's branch in Qingcheng and Zhang Ziming and others, and the goods of the Fan family, in addition to the goods directly supplied to a few Taiji, were almost all digested by He Yusheng and Zhang Ziming and others.
Of course, the Fan family also knows about this situation, but as long as their business house opens a store to do business, it cannot be eliminated, and for Zhang Ziming and others, if they are turned away, it is very simple to hire people to take turns to do the goods...... It's just that it hasn't had to be so much of a hassle.
"Team Leader Sun, this time you are running?"
"Uh-huh."
Zhang Ziming greeted the head of the dart division of the escort team, the other party was very kind, his face was dark, and the person looked very simple, but there were too few words.
Sun Yao killed the belt around his waist, urged the people he brought to cooperate with the people in Zhang Ziming's firm, and quickly carried the goods hoarded in the goods and rooms into the car, and brought them back by the convoy the same way.
Such escort tasks were very complicated, and in order not to affect the normal operation of the account office, the archers began to be sent out in turns to carry out such escort tasks.
Sun Yao was originally a dart master, he was very familiar with the escort of the convoy, many of his subordinates were novices, they were all excited when they first arrived in the grassland, and after running a few times, they became familiar with each other.
"Team Leader Sun," Zhang Ziming noticed some blood stains and damage on the body, and he said with a shocked expression: "Isn't the road smooth?" ”
Sun Yao said calmly: "I met a gang of horse thieves...... There were not many people, only about twenty people, and we were told to kill five, and the rest ran away. ”
There are many horse thieves on the grassland, mainly because there are a lot of bankrupt herdsmen and Han people in border counties, the weak starve or freeze to death, the strong inevitably do businessless business, and the small caravans are unlucky.
"Horse thieves meet you, but they are really unlucky." Zhang Ziming looked at the shocking bloodstains and the damaged parts of the body, and said sincerely.
Sun Yao nodded proudly, and the group of archer soldiers behind him grinned.
This convoy has more than 30 large carts, which can carry more than 100,000 catties of grain and a large number of groceries.
The light car set off, and the archers escorted a team of people, in fact, according to the normal scale, it was enough to send a small team of guards. It is not unheard of for more than a dozen heavily armed experienced dart masters to defeat about ten times as many horse thieves...... There are indeed instances. The convoy discovered the enemy situation early, and then set up a car formation early, and those horse thieves were scattered by the birds, and more than a dozen guns blocked nearly 100 horse thieves, which was almost the same as Zhang Han's actual combat experience on the grassland for the first time...... After a few such incidents, whether small or large horse thieves, when they encountered the convoy of Xinpingbao and Yushengqi, they were almost far away, and no one was bored with them.
