Chapter 50: The revival of the Donglin Party

Qin Rongshuai didn't pay attention to the impeachment of the court, because he didn't panic at all, why.

Because he secretly handed over a part of the profits from the sale of salt to Emperor Taichang as a protection fee, he paid a total of one million taels in three years, so that the internal money that had bottomed out began to fill up again.

Adding the salt tax in Liaodong would not be cutting off the emperor's financial route.

So this matter is getting bigger and bigger, and these officials just bite Qin Rongshuai to deduct the black pot, regardless of what evidence is not evidenced.

Anyway, with a mouth and a pen, as long as Qin Rongshuai is killed, then the historical records will not say what he wants.

The head of the imperial historian is very iron, but the court staff of the Jinyi guard is even more iron.

Anyone who mentioned the impeachment of Qin Rongshuai in the current dynasty was all pulled to the twenty canes of the Wumen court.

For a time, the government and the opposition were turbulent, and Qin Rongshuai became the biggest traitor in this dynasty in one fell swoop.

At this time, Qin Rongshuai was busy promoting the cultivation of cold-tolerant food crops, wheat, corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and even tried to grow rice.

After more than two years of farming in Liaodong, grain production has grown explosively, which can not only meet the needs of the people in Liaodong, but also sell a large number of them to the grassland in exchange for livestock.

The wool was spun into wool and dumped around.

Just when Qin Rongshuai was about to continue to show his strength, there was bad news in Beijing, Emperor Taichang died.

At that time, Qin Rongshuai was watching the new steam forging press minting silver coins in the mint, and the silver coins were neatly arranged on the forging table, and the steam-driven hammer was crushed over, and the exquisite patterns were perfectly engraved on it.

These silver coins are divided into four types, such as 1 coin, 2 coins, 5 coins, one or two, and the silver and copper are mixed according to the ratio of eighty-two, and even the template is brought by Qin Rongshuai from his own time and space, and then after the steam engine forging, its anti-counterfeiting ability is absolutely world-class.

The obverse is the sun, the edge is surrounded by two dragons, the back is the moon, supplemented by ears of wheat, the sun and the moon are bright, and the whole silver coin has exquisite and complex lines, and it is extremely difficult to forge.

Qin Rongshuai is ready to use this kind of silver coin to start the financial system, after all, the fastest way to get money is to mint and open a bank.

Just as he picked up the silver coin of Baihuahua and looked at the sun, Gu Xiangsheng hurriedly ran in, "Master Hou, something is wrong." ”

"Huh?!" Qin Rongshuai frowned, threw the silver coin aside, and scolded, "What do you say in a panic?" The big husband wants Mount Tai to collapse in front of him and his face will not change. ”

"Well, Master Hou taught me a lesson." Gu Xiangsheng hurriedly agreed.

"From the beginning."

"Yes, Master Hou." Gu Xiangsheng stood next to Qin Rongshuai and began to talk in detail, "Just now there was an eight-hundred-mile rush from Beijing, I saw that it was a letter from Lord Lu, and the small one didn't dare to open it privately, so I brought it to you, but the little one heard the messenger say something, on the eighth day of the first month of last month, the emperor fell into the water." ”

"What's all the fuss about falling into the water." Qin Rongshuai took the letter with a straight face, opened it and looked at it, only four words were written on it, "The emperor died." ”

"it!" Qin Rongshuai was shocked at that time, why did the emperor die?

"Someone, someone!" Qin Rongshuai immediately jumped up and roared in a hurry, "Gather the army, hurry, go!" ”

Seeing that Gu Xiangsheng was still stunned, Qin Rongshuai was so anxious that he kicked over.

Gu Xiangsheng came back to his senses at this time, hurriedly went out to gather people, and slandered, didn't you say that you wanted Mount Tai to collapse in front of him and not change his face?

Soon, Qin Rongshuai gathered an army of 100,000 troops, played the banner of "Qingjun Side", and drove to Beijing in a mighty manner.

When they arrived at Shanhaiguan, the defenders were shocked, they couldn't reach it in the face of this formation, and there were still 30,000 defenders in Shanhaiguan.

However, after Liaodong was recovered, the defensive front line was advanced to the boundary of Liaodong, and the Marquis of Ping Liao was in charge, and the defenders of Shanhaiguan were also cut in half, and the rest was said to have 15,000 people, but in fact there were less than 8,000.

And most of the defenders are old, weak, sick and disabled, and the equipment is not very good, after all, they are not Liaozhen, and they don't have to be on the front line.

Now that the flying dragon is, how can you keep it?

Qin Rongshuai was also a very reasonable person, and he did not embarrass the defenders of Shanhaiguan, but just lined up the three hundred cannons he brought and fired several rounds of volleys.

The defenders of Shanhaiguan were inspired by the righteousness, and resolutely decided to follow the Marquis of Pingliao into Beijing to "Qingjun side".

When the new army led by Qin Rongshuai was about to arrive in Tongzhou, the entire Beijing division was blown up, and at this time, the emperor died, Fang Congzhe was impeached by the ministers, and the dragons were leaderless, what should I do in the face of this situation?

The ministers felt that the first assistant should be fully responsible for this matter, so we should change the first assistant first, and then send a competent candidate to fight the rebellion.

Qin Rongshuai waited in Tongzhou for three days, but the counterinsurgency army didn't even see a single hair, and finally waited for Shen Lian and Xu Guangqi

As soon as Xu Guangqi saw Qin Rongshuai, he said bitterly: "No merit, do you really want to do that rebellion and rebellion?" ”

Qin Rongshuai pretended to be stunned, "Where did you start with this?" Elder Xu Ge, you don't want to smear people's innocence out of thin air and wrongfully accuse loyalty. ”

"Then what do you mean by bringing 100,000 troops to the city?" Xu Guangqi asked with a calm face.

"Without him, it's just Qingjun's side." Qin Rongshuai said confidently, "The emperor is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and he is in good health, why can't he afford to be sick after falling into the water, the dragon is in Bintian, it is obvious that someone is murdering!" ”

"Qin led the army to come to King Qin's rescue, not to rebel."

"Your Majesty can't just be killed so inexplicably, the murderer must be found."

Qin Rongshuai's words were awe-inspiring, Xu Guangqi couldn't refute it at all, he couldn't say that you were rebelling under the banner of Qingjun's side, because Ming Chengzu was also under this banner back then, but who dared to say that he was rebelling.

In the end, Xu Guangqi tried hard to persuade him, and Qin Rongshuai reluctantly agreed, not letting the army enter Beijing, he waited for news in Tongzhou, and retreated immediately after waiting for the new emperor to ascend the throne.

Xu Guangqi returned satisfied and went back to report to the cabinet.

And Shen Lian stayed and talked to Qin Rongshuai for a while, Qin Rongshuai carefully inquired about the process of Emperor Taichang falling into the water, and concluded that someone must have done something.

Shen Lian sighed, "Big brother doesn't know that someone deliberately murdered him, but this matter really can't be investigated, the prince is still young, and the eldest brother has to put all his energy on taking care of the prince, for fear that he will have something wrong." ”

"This court...... Qin Rongshuai sneered, "It's rotten!" ”

Shen Lian was silent, and he could see that he had been stimulated a lot in the capital in the past few years.

"Second brother, why don't you take your family back to Liaodong with me, so as not to be idle here." Qin Rongshuai saw that he was sullen and asked tentatively.

"Okay." Shen Lian nodded and agreed without thinking about it, he was not very interested in fame, and he was very aggrieved to be an official in the court, so it was better to find a place to enjoy himself quietly.

Then there was a few days of trouble in Beijing, and finally the prince was put on the throne, and he was enthroned as the emperor, and the year name was Apocalypse.

As soon as the new emperor ascended the throne, the first edict issued was to encourage Qin Rongshuai, crown the crown prince Shaobao, and reward some property.

Qin Rongshuai led the army back to Liaodong, and Shen Lian was taken away with his family.

On the second day, Fang Congzhe resigned due to illness, but he was not allowed.

After that, Fang Congzhe resigned six times, and finally resigned and returned.

Ye Xianggao was promoted to the first assistant of the cabinet, and the Donglin Party was revived, and the people were once again in power.

The first thing the Donglin Party did after taking office was to increase the salt tax and cloth tax in Liaodong.
