In addition, after more than half a year of preliminary construction, the port infrastructure in Hong Kong has met the conditions for initial use, and Yu Xiaotian has also begun to implement a set of methods in Guangdong and Guangxi, which he has engaged in in Fujian, and has begun to collect fees for all merchant ships that go to sea.

And including the fees on the Fujian side, all of them have been raised to three thousand taels of silver per year, and you can go to sea if you pay the money, but if you don't pay the money, hehe, then after your ship goes to sea, the possibility of going back is very low.

Although the price of such a fee is really not low, but for the maritime merchants, it is still bearable, the wool is out of the sheep, pay this money, naturally find a way to earn back, and these things, is to be sold to Europeans or people in the South Seas, so the price increase can be sold.

In addition, in the past, because of the large number of pirates in the Liangguang area, the probability of being robbed after the sea ships went to sea was very high, but now the coastal areas of Liangguang have been controlled by Yu Xiaotian's sea wolves, and on the sea of Liangguang alone, Yu Xiaotian has invested hundreds of large and small anti-smuggling ships, and more than 10,000 people, as long as the money is paid, safety can basically be guaranteed on the sea surface in the south.

In this way, even if the maritime merchants are reluctant, they can only pay money to buy the road, which is actually good for them.

But for some sea lords who have backers behind them, Yu Xiaotian's approach obviously violates their interests, they often never even pay the taxes of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty has always collected very low taxes on business, and for them, the big guys, rarely touch their interests.

Now Yu Xiaotian suddenly proposed to pay money to go to sea, don't think about going to sea without paying the fees, they often have a lot of ships on hand, one boat is 3,000 taels of silver, ten boats is 30,000 taels of silver, this silver they feel wronged, so there are really people who don't pay.

But Yu Xiaotian's subordinates don't care how big the backer is behind you, how hard the foundation is, as long as you don't pay the money and don't get the order flag of the sea, then I'm sorry, ignore you near the shore, follow you and wait for you to go far away before starting, these big men who do sea trade, after a while, only to find that their ship is missing, even people with goods and ships, there is no trace, then I realized the problem.

They have the heart to sue, but now they don't know where their ship is, how it disappeared, and the Ming Dynasty has never officially opened up to trade, going to sea to do business, itself is a smuggling offense, and there is no place to sue, and the government will not blame Yu Xiaotian for this matter.

Yu Xiaotian did this, which really offended many people with hands and eyes, and many people began to exercise everywhere, until they stabbed the Jingshi.

By the end of Chongzhen's ninth year, the government and the opposition had more and more impeachments and criticisms of Yu Xiaotian, originally in Xiaotian Pingjing and Guangzhou, at the beginning of the ninth year, Chongzhen was still reluctant to make it difficult, and gave Yu Xiaotian a commendation for the world's will, and promoted Yu Xiaotian to the governor of Tongzhi, and promoted to the rank of first-class official.

However, after the end of the ninth year, a large number of voices of impeachment against Xiaotian poured out between the government and the opposition, and there were also many officials in the DPRK and the central government, and the spearhead was pointed at Yu Xiaotian, and many people played the game, saying that Yu Xiaotian had been unusually domineering in the past year or two, and in addition to enclosing Taiyuan Island as his private property, he had plundered the population everywhere to enrich the population of his Taiyuan Island.

In addition, Yu Xiaotian embraced the sea and respected himself, and charged high fees to the ships at sea before he could go to sea, so he made countless money, and in addition to the Fujian Navy Division and the Fujian Land Division, he also raised tens of thousands of private troops with the intention of rebellion.

At the end of last year, they seized Jeju Island of the Joseon Dynasty, and in the middle of this year, they went south to the Li Dynasty in Vietnam and captured a large area.

Chongzhen nine years, for the imperial court, is another sad year, although Chongzhen in the eight years, promoted Lu Xiangsheng to supervise the southeast, Hong Chengchou in the northwest, several provincial capitals to suppress the exile army, more or less saw some results, but Chongzhen nine years, Shanxi but there was a major drought.

Not only Shanxi, Henan and other places are also in great drought, Henan Nanyang, the situation of easy children and food is very common, the bark and grass roots are eaten by the hungry people, countless people die of starvation, and the roads are full of starvation.

For this reason, after Chongzhen heard the performance, he ordered to allocate silver for relief, but the entire Shanxi and Henan disaster areas only allocated 3,500 taels of relief silver, which was 3,500 taels of silver, facing the millions of people waiting for relief, it was really pitiful, and it was a drop in the bucket.

In April, the Jiannu chieftain Taiji sat in the north and faced south outside the pass, ascended the throne and called the emperor, at the end of May, he sent troops to the south again to prey, from Xifengkou and other places to attack the Guannei, in July, the Jiannu army invaded the land of Gyeonggi, and even broke Changping, Shunyi, Baodi (now Tianjin), Dingxing, Ansu (now Xushui, Hebei), Dacheng, Xiongxian, Anzhou and other Kingi counties.

The whole Beijing division was in a hurry again, and in August, Zhu Yujian, the king of the Tang Dynasty, heard the news and resolutely raised troops to prepare to go to Beijing to rescue, but when he went to Kaifeng, he was stopped by the officials, because his move was a taboo of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Emperor was afraid that these princes would take charge of the military power and rebel, so Chongzhen issued an order to depose Zhu Yujian, the king of Tang, as a commoner.

This time Jiannu entered the customs, the blow to the Ming is quite heavy, since the last time Jiannu broke through, Jiannu has seen the weakness of the Ming, thinking that the Ming is not Erer, before they did not dare to think of facing the south and the north to call the emperor, but now the weakness of the Ming Dynasty has made them more and more bold.

In Jiannu's mind, the last trace of awe for the Ming Dynasty has long disappeared at this time, and by this time, Jiannu has already risen to the idea of dominating the Central Plains.

And this time Jiannu entered the customs, a kind of Cheng dù is another temptation of the Ming Dynasty, and the result of their temptation this time is quite ideal, after the Jiannu army broke through the pass, entered the land of Gyeonggi, and even more than ten states and counties around Gyeonggi, the Ming army was repeatedly defeated, and it could not stop the soldiers of Jiannu at all.

This time, the entry of Jiannu, for the foundation of the Ming Dynasty is very heavy, and the building of the Ming Dynasty has been shaken even more, and at this time, people with a little vision in the world have seen that the Ming Dynasty has reached a situation of wind and rain, and the Ming Dynasty may not be able to keep it.

But the Ming Dynasty will die at whose hands, it is still an unknown, but some people believe that the Ming Dynasty is not so unbearable, after all, the Ming Dynasty three hundred years of foundation is here, and although the construction of slaves into the customs to destroy Yan zhòng, but under the auspices of Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng and others, the provincial capitals of the Liumin Army, but have achieved initial results, the thief head Gao Yingxiang, was ambushed by Sun Chuanting, who was the governor of Shaanxi at the time, and was defeated in Heishuiyu, Gao Yingxiangsheng was captured alive and sent to Beijing.

Yu Xiaotian has been paying attention to these news, he originally thought that his appearance has had a certain impact on the current situation, and if it is not good, it will affect the fate of many people, but now it seems that his influence is currently limited to the south, and his influence on the Central Plains and the north is not so great.

At least Gao Yingxiang's fate did not change because of his appearance, Gao Yingxiang still died in the hands of the Ming court and the government.

For this Jiannu entry, Yu Xiaotian knows that he may have a certain involvement with him, and it can even be said that he has a certain responsibility.

Because since he returned to Fujian from Denglai Pingchao, the subordinates who stayed in the Denglai area quickly opened up the trade route with Jiannu, began to import a large amount of salt tea to Guanwai, and began to do business with Jiannu.

Jiannu was actually very poor at this time, don't look at the fact that they have plundered the wealth of the Ming Dynasty over the years, it seems that they have made a fortune on the surface.

But in fact, for Jiannu, the impact of the Xiaoice River period on the northeast is beyond the imagination of many people, and the Liaodong area controlled by Jiannu has only three months of frost-free period every year, and the longest time is not more than five months, so it is not an exaggeration to say that Liaodong is an absolutely bitter cold place.

Such a short frost-free period made it impossible for the agriculture of Liaodong to develop at all, and only one season of grain could be planted every year, and it also depended on whether God was willing or not, and often very little grain was harvested, and agriculture was in a state of extreme shrinkage, which could not meet the needs of the slaves at all.

This is also why the wild boar Pinurhachi slaughtered the Han people in Liaodong outside the Guan, and even showed no mercy to the Han people who surrendered to them, because they were desperately short of food and did not have enough to eat, so they came up with such a way to kill all the Han people to reduce the lack of morality of the eating population.

As long as there is money, there are people who are willing to do this business, especially some wealthy businessmen in Shanxi, over the years, there is no less export of grain to the outside of the customs, and they have really made a fortune, and the Jiannu often plundered a large amount of wealth from the customs, and it flowed back to those Jin merchants not long after they returned.

Therefore, if it weren't for these traitorous Jin merchants, who exported a large amount of grain to Guanwai in order to make black money, more than half of the Jiannu would have been starved to death by famine alone.

Some kind of Cheng dù finally fell in the Ming Dynasty, these damned Jin merchants played a great role, and after Jiannu entered the customs, he was really good to the Jin merchants, which can be regarded as repaying the kindness of the Jin merchants to them back then.

Now that the Seawolf Group has opened up the trade route with Jiannu, although Yu Xiaotian is jealous of the money in Jiannu's hand, but the principle is still there, even if he has hoarded all kinds of grain on hand now, but he directly crossed out the grain export item on the trade list.

(Brothers, help!) Let me make a breakthrough this month! Thanks a lot! ）
