Chapter 202: Shocking traitor
"Your Majesty, what news is coming from the blue sky?"
Fang Yuegong hurriedly asked.
"See for yourselves!"
As Chongzhen spoke, he threw Lan Tianzheng's recital to Fang Yuegong, Fang Yuegong unfolded the recital and watched it carefully, his heart was cold, I dripped! These people are really bold and shameless!
After Lan Tianzheng arrived in Shanxi, in order to obtain the intelligence of the Jin merchants as soon as possible, he first set up a dart bureau to undertake the transportation and trading of goods from Shanxi to Mongolia and Manchuria, and then disguised Jinyiwei as a civilian warrior and entered the major merchants to become a warrior in the housekeeper.
These brocade guards led by Lan Tianzheng are all carefully selected, shrewd and capable, and it didn't take long to get evidence from the Fan family, the Wang family, and the Jin family, and the rest are also infiltrating.
But even the evidence of the collusion of these three Manchurians is outrageous!
Fan Yongdou provided the Ming military defense map of the Xuanda region for the Eight Banners of Manchuria, where there are military towns, how many troops there are, where there are towns, about how many people, each item is extremely detailed, not only that, since the Apocalypse, it has been nearly 20 years now, every two years, Fan Yongdou provides the Manchurians with the latest military deployment map, a total of more than a dozen points!
The entire Shanxi and the northwest of the capital were all sent to Manchuria, and for this reason, Fan Yongdou received a reward of 6,000 taels of gold and 50,000 taels of silver from the Emperor Taiji from Manchuria!
It is also because of these maps that the previous Qing invasions of Xuanda were like entering a no-man's land!
In addition, every year, Fan Yongdou will also provide 10,000 stone of grain and 70,000 catties of salt to the Manchurian and Mongolian ministries!
In addition to collecting these military deployment maps and the accounts of the Fan family, Lan Tianzheng also got a handwritten letter written by Huang Taiji and Dolgon to Fan Yongdou!
Scum! National scum!
As for the Wang family, Wang Dengku even used his pawnshops and grain stores in the Gyeonggi area to provide all the military defense information, population changes, and court situation changes in the Gyeonggi area to Manchuria at the fastest speed, Fan Yongdou only provided 10,000 stone of grain to the Mongolian ministries every year, but Wang Dengku provided 60,000 stone of grain to the Mongolian ministries and Manchuria every year! There is even a jade Buddha given to him by Huang Taiji at home!
The last Jin family, the Jin family did not buy and sell grain to Manchuria and Mongolia, but this guy was even more frenzied, and even provided Manchuria with up to 100,000 catties of steel and copper ingots every year! These are all military materials strictly controlled by the imperial court!
Scum, all scum of the country!
"Bastard! Damn bastards! ”
Even Fang Yuegong, who has always been good-tempered, was already so angry that his eyes were on fire!
Why did the Manchurian cavalry invade the Central Plains every time it invaded the Central Plains without warning, and every time it attacked the weakest position of the Ming defense? It's all done by these black-hearted merchants, and then these trade and sold intelligence, the Jin merchants made a fortune, not to mention anything else, just the 60,000 stone grain provided by the Wang family, it is worth 30,000 taels, but this is the official price, in the people, 60,000 stone grain is enough to sell for 60,000 or 70,000 taels of silver, as for the Manchuria and Mongolian tribes where food is extremely scarce, it is not impossible to sell a stone of grain for ten taels of silver, especially before Manchuria occupied Korea, it was even more expensive!
Every year, just by buying and selling grain, the Wang family can earn at least 100,000 taels of silver from the grain trade, and it is impossible to exceed 300,000 taels at most!
As for 100,000 catties of good iron, that's 100,000 catties, enough to build tens of thousands of sabers!
"Hmph, Jin Shang, Jin Shang! I don't want to eradicate all of you, and I swear not to be human! ”
Chongzhen overturned the dragon book case and let out an angry roar!
"Your Majesty, the emperor is angry, at this time, I'm afraid it's easy to startle the snake, once I do it, then the other few will take precautions, we want to catch their handles, but it's as difficult as climbing to the sky, I think it's better to board for a while, so as to facilitate the blue sky is collecting more evidence!"
Zhu Jie hurriedly said.
At this time, the important ministers in the court reacted, and the emperor actually sent Jinyi Wei to secretly investigate the Jin merchants! The bigwigs with ghosts in their hearts are all shocked, presumably the emperor has already mastered sufficient evidence, otherwise, he will not be angry like this, but he can't be allowed to dig deeper, if he digs deeper, then the unlucky ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and the ministers present have nothing to do with the Jin merchants, more or less, they have all taken the benefits of others!
Once it is found out, it will be difficult to escape the charge of fornicating with foreign countries in Fanbang!
"Your Majesty, did you send Jinyi Wei to investigate the Jin merchants? Investigating courtiers? ”
Fan Jingwen, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, had an ugly face and said loudly: "Doesn't the emperor know the harm of Jinyiwei?" When the first emperor was in Japan, the eunuchs took advantage of Wei Zhongxian's power to control the Jinyiwei and the East and West Factories, and arrested courtiers everywhere. There are countless unjust prisons, you have already ordered the abolition of all the powers of the Jinyi Guards when you first ascended to the Great Treasure, do you want to restore their functions now? ”
Chongzhen was expressionless, and said coldly: "Fan Aiqing, this matter has nothing to do with you, I just want to find out the evidence of the Jin merchants' communication with foreign countries, and punish these rebellions to the law, which has nothing to do with the functions of Jinyiwei in the past, you don't have to worry too much!" ”
"However, Your Majesty, since the Jin merchants are suspected of communicating with foreign countries, they should be handed over to the Three Law Divisions for investigation and punishment, what is the reason for you to use the power of Jinyiwei like this, and where to put the laws of the country!"
Zhen Shu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was dissatisfied.
"Enough!"
Chongzhen roared angrily: "If your three law divisions are useful, then why do I need to reactivate the Jinyi Guard at this time? Specially recruited Lan Tian is in charge of the brocade guard? How many years? Exactly nineteen years! These Jin merchants have been reporting news to Mongolia and Manchuria for 19 years, and buying and selling information to the Mongolian departments can be traced back to the Tumubao change a hundred years ago. I didn't even realize it, what's the use of raising you! ”
Chongzhen was furious and roared, shocking the ministers above the court.
"Your Majesty, the ministers are guilty of dereliction of duty, please ask the emperor to surrender, the ministers have no complaints, but this brocade guard cannot be used again, once it loses control, the court will be used by traitors like the first emperor, and when the time comes, the court will be disordered, and passers-by will look at it, it will be a monstrous disaster!"
Although Zhen Shu's heart trembled, she had to play again, she must contain the Jinyi Guard, and she must not let them ride on the necks of the ministers again, otherwise no one will have a good life!
