After losing Sun Chengzong's obstruction, the decision to send troops to Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, with the support of the Manchu civil and military forces, was unanimously voted by the ministers in just one tea time.

Emperor Chongzhen, who was confident of victory, directly took out 500,000 taels of silver from the inner treasury as military expenses......

For the huge wealth of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, the military department was also ruthless. At the same time as the elite was transferred from the provinces of the Central Plains, all the firearms that could still be used in the armory were taken out and equipped with soldiers to suppress the firearms units with strong combat effectiveness of the Tiger and Par Army......

Just when the whole court was preparing for the major event of sending troops to Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces.

The Shandong patrol yamen who was far away in Jinan, who was still full of desire for his future just now, was already taken out of the yamen by the brocade guards and sent to the capital at this moment.

At the same time, the holy decree prohibiting further immigration to Shandong also spread from the Shandong Patrol Yamen.

On the official road from Shandong to Shanxi, the dense flow of immigrants, driven by the Shandong garrison, was like a swimming dragon, moving towards Shanxi step by step with heavier and heavier steps.

At this moment, a cavalryman wearing a brocade guard fishtail suit suddenly chased after him from behind.

The cavalry galloping on horseback rushed directly in front of the officer and soldier Qianzong who led the team. He took out the decree and read it with a proud face.

"The Divine Decree to ...... After investigation: Shandong patrol bullied the monarch and disregarded the laws of the imperial court, and immigrated to Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces without authorization...... The specially ordered Jinyi guard dismissed him from his post, escorted him back to the capital, and handed him over to the Xing Department for interrogation. ”

"All yamen and garrisons in Shandong should immediately stop their immigration to Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces...... Violators of the order will be punished as rebels. ”

"Another. According to investigation: Wei Zheng, the former governor of Shanxi and the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Army. Deceive the king. Conspiracy...... From now on, Wei Zheng will no longer be an official of the imperial court, and it will be agreed that the court will be rebellious, and everyone will be punished...... The Tiger and Leopard Army stationed in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces was ...... for the Ming rebels"

"From the day the decree was read, the garrisons of all the surrounding provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi immediately sent troops to block all the communication arteries leading to Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, and waited for an opportunity to launch an attack on Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces. Compressing the living space of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces......"

In the face of this sudden holy decree, it was not until Jinyiwei left that the general manager of the official army reacted from the shock.

Because the content of the holy decree is really surprising......

A provincial governor was dismissed by the imperial court, and the Haw Par Army, which had tens of thousands of garrisons, was also declared a rebel in the blink of an eye...... What Mr. Qian didn't expect was that he had been commended by the imperial court many times and had become the guard of the Marquis of the Ming Dynasty. In the blink of an eye, he became a rebellious minister and thief of the Ming Dynasty......

Just when Mr. Qian frowned. When contemplating the content of the decree. The deputy general manager beside him suddenly said with a helpless face: "My lord, the holy decree of the imperial court says that the immigration to Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces should be stopped immediately, and not all of the more than 20,000 immigrants we have worked so hard to pull from all over Shandong will be released." The hard work of the brothers was not in vain. ”

It turned out that after several transactions with the Haw Par Army, the leader of the team was no longer satisfied with the income of a few hundred taels of silver at a time. In order to obtain more benefits, he directly made up his mind to increase the number of immigrants to tens of thousands at one time......

In Mr. Qian's expectation, as long as he made this transaction, he could get five thousand taels of silver at one time.

And now, with the issuance of this holy decree: the five thousand taels of silver that are about to arrive will be lost without accident. Not only that, but the hundreds of taels of silver that I consumed in the preparation work will also be lost......

Thinking of this, Mr. Qian, who had already reacted from his contemplation, also showed a trace of unwillingness and reluctance on his face.

After shaking his head, he replied, "Don't let it go yet, see if there is any turnaround...... If there is really no turnaround, we will not be too late to let it go......"

As the deputy of the former Qianzong, there is no doubt that he will gain some benefits in this transaction.

Once the transaction is cancelled, the interest that should belong to you will also disappear. Therefore, after hearing that Mr. Qian did not intend to give up this transaction just like that, the worry on his face was replaced by a smile.

He replied loudly to Mr. Qian: "My lord, the last general knows what to do......

The vast number of immigrants, because of the insistence of Mr. Qian, did not pause on the official road and continued to move towards Shanxi.

A day without any accidents is about to pass.

A person wearing the uniform of an ordinary soldier of the official army was suddenly brought to Mr. Qian by Deputy President Qian, with a mysterious face.

When the other party raised his head and looked at Mr. Qianhou. Mr. Qian's facial expression was still puzzled just now, but at this moment, he directly showed an expression of shock and sudden realization.

Because, standing in front of him is a Haw Par army general who has traded with him many times.

After signaling the guards to go around for a guard, Mr. Qian, who took a deep breath, hurriedly said, "General Wang, why are you here...... Don't you know that the imperial court has just issued a holy decree to list you as a rebel of the imperial court? ”

"If you come here like this, if you let others know, others won't see Ben General as a rebel......"

"Captain Wang, for the sake of us being old acquaintances, this general should have never seen you...... You get out of here and go back to Shanxi...... In any case, you can't let people know that you've been here......"

Facing the anxious and worried expression that quickly appeared on Mr. Qian's face, the general Wang who was standing in front of him did not move, and the expression on his face did not change in the slightest.

Under the gaze of several pairs of eyes at the same time, he replied unhurriedly: "Please rest assured, Lord Wang, I will definitely not fall into the hands of other officials and soldiers, and I will not leak out the information that I have been here." ”

"The reason why you took such a big risk to meet your lord is for only one purpose, that is, to generalize the tens of thousands of people you escorted along the way......"

"As long as the general sends these people to the predetermined location, I, the tiger and leopard army, will add one or two silver to the general on the basis of the original price. In other words, for every five immigrants you send to the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi, you can get two taels of silver. ”

"In addition, this kind of deal between us, as long as you want it, General, can continue forever."

"The only difference is that the transaction between us, because of this holy decree of the imperial court, from now on, has to be carried out in secret."

Hearing this, a number jù quickly came to my mind.

As long as the current transaction continues, according to the latest price proposed by the Haw Par Army, he can get a full 10,000 taels of silver.

Not only that, but with the arrest of the Shandong Patrol, the Patrol Yamen demanded that the 10,000 immigrants he escorted and the 4,000 taels of silver would be paid into his pocket without incident.

In this way, it is a full fourteen thousand taels of silver.

Faced with the temptation of such huge benefits, Mr. Qian's heart was directly moved.

However, in front of the two mountains of the Holy Decree and the Imperial Court, no matter how tempted Mr. Qian is, he will not agree immediately.

Because, once there is an accident in this transaction, for himself, it is a big crime to cut off his head and even destroy his family.

After a short period of contemplation, Mr. Qian could only suppress the heartbeat in his heart and said to the tiger and leopard army general in front of him.

"Team General, you're giving me a big problem...... If I were alone, I would have lost my head, and I would continue to trade with your army. After all, no one wants to go against silver, not to like it. ”

"However, such a big thing is not something I can do alone......"

"I have to have a group of brothers to do it with me, so I have to discuss it with my brothers."

Half an hour later, all the officers above the general level who were secretly summoned by President Qian learned from President Qian that they could continue to take risks and continue to trade with the Tiger and Leopard Army and secretly emigrate to Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces.

At the beginning, among the dozen or so subordinates, most of them chose to remain silent.

However, when the news of Mr. Qian's double immigration price came out. The silent everyone suddenly became boiling.

In front of the silver, there were seven or eight subordinates on the spot, shouting and demanding to continue trading with the Haw Par Army and earn silver.

As for the remaining subordinates who still didn't speak, their calm faces also showed a heart-warming expression.

At this time, in order for the immigration trade to continue, a hundred households suddenly shouted: "My lord, and all the brothers...... The imperial court has not paid us full salaries for several years, no matter what the imperial court does, as generals, we should always let a group of brothers who served us to die have money to support the family and eat a full stomach, right? ”

"Now, there's finally an opportunity in front of us, and I don't know why we turned it down."

"Five immigrants for two taels of silver, if we immigrate 100,000 people to Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces a year, it will be 40,000 taels of silver. Those who went out to distribute to their brothers under their command could finally share the silver in the pockets of the adults, at least hundreds of thousands of ......taels."

"Let's think about it, if we just abide by the laws and disciplines of the imperial court, when will we be able to earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver just by eating the blood of soldiers. Five years, or ten years, or even a lifetime, you can't earn ......"

"In a word, man dies for money, and birds die for food...... Let's become soldiers, to put it bluntly, just to earn money to support our families. Now, such a good opportunity is in front of us, and if we don't seize it, we will definitely be thundered by the sky. ”

"I, Li Hu, don't care about the imperial decree and the crime of killing my head, as long as anyone dares to stop me from getting rich, I will fight for my life and cut off the other party's head......"

After Li Hu Li finished saying the general words, a general manager who was a little bit more scholarly followed, and added.

"Mr. Qian, colleagues...... I also have something to say, and I think that the whole thing is far less complicated than we think, and it will not be as dangerous as everyone says......" (To be continued......
