Chapter 566: A Thousand Dollars Buy Horse Bones

Far better than Shaolin? The Mandate of Heaven is Nurhachi's era name, since this name is used as the religious name, there must really be two times!

Chang Wei was vigilant in his heart, but he didn't show weakness in his mouth, "Do you know that there is a person named Qiu Feng in Liaodong, since the Heavenly Mandate Sect is so powerful, why can't you clean him up?"

"Liaoyang Kuaijian Sect Young Master Qiu Feng, he is a natural assassin, his sense of smell is extremely sensitive, the Heavenly Mandate Sect has set up ambushes many times but he hasn't even touched his clothes, but if he fights head-on, any of the thirty-three masters of the Heavenly Mandate Sect can solve him!"

Chang Wei kicked her unconvinced: "Is it so powerful?"

"This is not what I said, it is a fact recognized by the entire Mo Nan master. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info twenty years ago, just turned twenty-five years old and stepped into the pinnacle of the realm of the Heavenly Mandate Sect leader Xilin Jueluo, the great protector Wanyan Xionglie, and the great elder Wuya Changlin about to fight the world's first Chaotianque, and as a result, Chaotianque waved his hand and defeated them;

"Five years ago, Yuan Keli, the Ming Dynasty official whom Houjin feared the most, asked Chaotianque to go out of the pass to destroy the Heavenly Mandate Sect, but at this time, Xilin Jueluo alone resisted Chaotianque's hundred moves, and with the help of Wanyan and Wuya, Chaotianque was injured and defeated!"

From then on, the Mandate of Heaven Sect was invincible in Monan, and the great lamas and banders of Qinghai-Tibet, and the warriors of Tatar and Warat were all defeated by them. Xilin Jueluo is even known as the number one master in the north, on a par with Chaotianque!"

A twenty-five-year-old supreme master, at the age of forty, he can hold up a hundred moves under Chaotianque! The strength of the three of Xilin Jueluo is simply terrifying, and there are still thirty supreme masters under him, the Heavenly Mandate Sect is too terrifying!

While Chang Wei's heart was turning over the monstrous waves, he raised his hand and twisted the necks of the two. Originally, he wanted to use the life and death talisman to control the two of them to go undercover in the Tumut Ministry, but since the Heavenly Mandate Sect could crack the life and death talisman, it was unnecessary.

Tang Jinyi said with emotion: "A Heavenly Mandate Sect is so strong, it is no wonder that Houjin can stir up wind and rain outside the customs and endanger the Ming Dynasty." ”

Before Chang Wei could answer, Hu Wenqing came in from outside the tent like a ghost, "So, you young people have to work hard." Actually, it's nothing, one of you brothers is twenty-one, and he is already at the top of the realm, and the other is twenty-six, and he can kill the top realm in an instant, which is much stronger than the Heavenly Mandate Sect. ”

Chang Weiqi said: "How do you know that I am at the top of the realm?"

Hu Wenqing smiled, "Although my martial arts skills are average, my eyesight is still good." After speaking, he lifted the bodies of the three women and floated out of the tent.

Tang Jinyi also mentioned the other three corpses, glanced at Chang Wei's towering lower body before leaving the tent, and teased: "The original desire to be provoked by the Heavenly Demon Ecstasy Dance must be combined for at least two hours, and then it can be resolved by the method of yin and yang pranayama, while the sky is not yet dawn, you should hurry up." ”

Chang Wei blocked his angry lower body with his hand, and muttered in a low voice, "Why can't you be hit?"

Tang Jinyi dropped a sentence, "Do you think everyone is a thief?" and drifted away.

"This tone is like a jealous Shuxue. Chang Wei chuckled lightly, swept towards Su Tai's felt tent, and after three days of non-stop luck, he completely dissolved the extremely difficult Heavenly Demon Ecstasy Dance and the remaining skills of the Silver Moon Duel.

Five days later, Hong Chengchou, a political officer in Shaanxi, served as a special envoy and was sent by the emperor's edict from Zhenyuan Pass to the old city of Linhe in Houtao.

In order to show his sincerity, the emperor returned the head of Lin Dan Khan and posthumously named him the king of loyalty, and canonized his eldest son, Erkong Guoluo Ezhe, as Kong Guoluo Khan, inherited the title of Zhongyi Wang, and discussed the opening of the border market.

The location of the mutual market set by the emperor and Chang Wei is more insidious, and Ningxia Wei, which is the closest to the Hetao on the three sides of Shaanxi, only conducts an exchange of markets, and after giving a batch of ironware, silk, cloth, and tea, it will be transferred to Fugu, Kill Hukou, Jizhou Town, Xuanfu Town, Datong Town, Taiyuan Town and other eastern border towns, the purpose of this plan is very clear - I will make you king, give the right to the mutual market, you will expand to the east to help me fight the back gold, I will contribute money, you will contribute, and everyone will trade fairly and mutually beneficial.

As for food, I'm sorry, but I'm also suffering from famine.

The new measures taken by the newly appointed head of the household department, Chang Kuan, were: to ask the imperial court to stop collecting land taxes on the private cultivation of land by military officials, and to order the salt merchants and tea merchants in the world to exchange grain produced in the border for salt and tea, and to force the wealthy merchants to pay to recruit peasants to the border to open up wasteland and reclaim fields, so as to solve the problem of rations for the border army.

What if we can't recruit people and can't grow grain? Chang Kuan's method is to divide the tea and salt into two, with half in the hands of the governors of each border and half in the hands of the household departments, and the merchants must first transfer grain in exchange for the salt and tea in the hands of the governors of the border army before they can go to the household departments to exchange the other half.

This practice seems cumbersome and increases the cost of the merchants, but it allows the border army to have food, and if you want to deduct it, the governor of the border army will deduct it, and if the soldiers have no food to eat, only the governor will ask!

Seeing the secret letter from Chang Ping, Chang Wei smiled knowingly, "Don't slaughter farmers but slaughter businessmen, and the humble gentleman of the eldest brother will not be merciless when he wields a knife!"

Although this policy was criticized and resisted by officials who were close to the salt merchants and tea merchants, the military praised it, because it not only solved the problem of military rations, but also allowed the border generals to get a new way to make money.

Wei Zhongxian, the old fat man, did "understand the general situation" as the emperor said, and expressed his intention to support such a favorable policy at the first time, coupled with the strong support of Cui Chengxiu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, this policy resisted the pressure and passed quickly.

Wei Fatzi, who was beaten last time, instructed his subordinates to impeach Pan Ruzhen, the governor of Zhejiang, who was forced to resign, and the quick reaction of Zhejiang Buzheng Min Chengbi before Pan Ruzhen's bad luck, connected three songs to support the cutting of the feudal domain and the inspection of the guard, although he was ridiculed by the government and the opposition, but he was affirmed by the emperor and became the new governor of Zhejiang.

This news made Chang Wei very angry, and another unpleasant news was that he asked to use the mansions of the exterminated vassal kings as a school, not only to teach Jingyi, but also to teach Xu Guangqi's translation of the "Geometric Original", as well as physics, machinery, muskets, artillery and other knowledge, which was severely refuted by the first assistant of the Ministry of Rites and the Cabinet of the Ministry of Rites, and the Song Shu was directly rejected!

However, Xu Guangqi, Sun Yuanhua, and Bi Maokang of the Machine Bureau regarded this move as a major change and a new measure unseen in 2,000 years, and for seven days they made more than a dozen concerts, asking the emperor and the court to approve this proposal, and finally knelt outside the noon gate for three days and three nights, at this time, Ruan Dayue, a speculator, appeared again.

He also went to the court to discuss the legislature, and what is even more unexpected is that Ni Wenhuan, the eunuch think tank, also wrote to second, and this time brought out a pivotal figure - Liang Tingji, the governor of Shanxi, because of his tough attitude and great support in the two major national policies of cutting the feudal domain and rectifying the guards, was praised by Wang Zhichen, and the cabinet and the emperor also unanimously appreciated it, and was transferred to Beijing to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

After Ni Wenhuan, Liang Tingji also wrote to second, and now the court was lively. Lai Zongdao, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Liang Tingji's father, Liang Dingchen, a university scholar, are both acquaintances and pragmatic Donglin Party members. Now Ni Wenhuan and Ruan Dayue, who are eunuchs, are actually on the same front as Liang Tingji of Donglin, and they all support Chang Wei, what is the situation?

What is even more chaotic is that although Xu Guangqi is not a member of the Donglin Party, he is guilty of Wei Zhongxian; Sun Yuanhua was cheated by Yuan Chonghuan of the Donglin Party; although Chang Wei was recommended by Wei Liangdong to join the court, he cleaned up Xu Xianchun, who was a eunuch, and he still looked down on Donglin very much.

Is this a big fight between the three major power factions? Are the court officials going to redivide their camps?

The current situation is different from the past, Chang Wei recaptured the jade seal of the country because he can make money and fight, and he is still the emperor's righteous brother, and the dragon of the holy family has surpassed Wei Zhongxian's posture;

Chang Wei's teacher, Emperor Yuan Keli, and his eldest brother Chang Kuan occupy two seats in the cabinet and still hold the household department; another extremely talented Wang Zhichen of the military department is also a supporter of Chang Wei; plus Xu Guangqi, Sun Yuanhua, and Bi Maokang, the three masters of Western learning, have a lot of influence; and Ni Wenhuan doesn't know what calculations to play, and always contributes to Chang Wei's performance; Ruan Dayue of the wall-riding faction likes to increase the weight with the wind.

What is even more strange is that the eunuchs turned a blind eye to the rise of Chang Wei's party, and often supported their performance. Nowadays, the situation is in a stalemate, and many smart people see that Yuan Keli and Chang Kuan, the bigwigs of Chang Wei's party, have not expressed their position, and they are also waiting and seeing, only those imperial historians who defend the orthodox status of Confucianism have frantically written to impeach Chang Wei, calling it "a fallacy and a mess of government, and he will be imprisoned for punishment."

The emperor did not support or oppose these recitals, and officials with rich political experience knew that this was the old rule: You quarrel first, and whoever can't stand it will be cleaned up!

The affairs of the imperial court were in chaos, and Su Tai and Ezhe, who had received the emperor's edict, happily gathered their important personnel to discuss how to deal with the Ming Dynasty in the future and recover the tribes of Houtao and Dongtao, and attack Tumochuan and Chahar.

There are three main personnel, the leader of the Hana Tumen Wanhu Batu Baihu, the leader of the Urat tribe Tuoba Ling, which is equivalent to the Jinong of the Deputy Khan - Chahan Buhua.

Batu Baihu and Tuoba Ling were the main forces of the small Khan court of Ezhe, with 10,000 cavalry each, and Chahan Buhua and Ezhe each had 10,000 cavalry.

The decision to attack Zhenyuan Pass that day to regain the jade seal was made by Chahan Buhua and Ezhe.

After listening to the conditions of the Ming Court and Su Tai's decision to expel the Red Sect and convert to the Yellow Sect, Chahan Buhua was first dissatisfied, "Lin Dan Khan only believed in the Red Sect in order to get the support of Hutuketu, and now he has just been buried, and the Queen Mother has changed to the Yellow Sect, which is really chilling!"

Su Tai said calmly: "At the beginning of Lin Dan Khan's accession to the throne, he accepted the precepts of the fourth great lama of the Yellow Sect, and later in order to gain the trust of Lin Dan Khan, the Shal Hu Tuketu of the Red Sect took the golden Buddha Dahetian cast by the holy monk Ba Sipa with a thousand gold from Wutai Mountain, and empowered Lin Dan Khan with a secret method. ”

"Lin Dan Khan tried to emulate the story of Kublai Khan and Paspa, and used Sha'er Hutuktu to establish his authority, but it backfired, exacerbating the centrifugation of the steppe tribes that believed in the Yellow Sect, and weakening his own appeal, these are all facts, right?

"Even if the Queen Mother is right, but, what qualifications do these two little monks have to represent the Huang Sect? How much help can they pull?" Cha Han turned around without saying anything, and pointed the finger at Chang Wei and the others.

Chang Wei asked with a smile, "Have you ever heard the story of Jinong buying horse bones?" (To be continued.) )
