Chapter 141 Financial Disaster(1/2)

 I once met a wise man whose wisdom and wisdom were unparalleled.

One choice of praise will shock the universe, and the five-character poem will surpass everyone.

He who surpassed his predecessors in officialdom was incompetent to follow in his footsteps.

Wealthy, greedy and lustful, we can endure the disintegration and disintegration.

Since ancient times, money has attracted people's hearts. However, it can also harm people. How many big bureaucrats have fallen for the word "wealth".

Dong Xuecheng, the governor of Jiangxi Province in the Qing Dynasty, hurriedly walked into the Nanchang Governor's Yamen.

When Governor Zhang Yutian saw him, he was very polite and asked for tea.

"What brings Mr. Dong here?"

Dong Xuecheng looked around and hesitated to speak.

Zhang Yutian understands and repels the left and right.

"Futai, the lower official got the news that Wang Zamao went to Ji'an Mansion to beg for thieves and treated all the rich gentry in Ji'an as thieves. At least he made this amount." Dong Xuecheng made a gesture.

"Six hundred thousand taels?"

When Zhang Yutian heard this, his eyes glowed red.

"Alas! Mr. Dong, we are governors of the imperial court, and our income is not as good as these two thieves. How annoying!"

Dong Xuecheng smiled: "You are Futai, and you ask him to help you pay in the name of the imperial court. How dare you disobey?"

"Great idea! According to Mr. Dong, how much money should I ask him for?"

"As a dignified governor, you must ask him for at least half, not less than three hundred thousand taels."

Zhang Yutian laughed: "Dong Gong, you send someone to bring my official certificate and ask Wang Zamao to help pay 300,000 taels. When you get the money, leave 100,000 taels for the court, and we will each divide 100,000 taels."

How about ten thousand liang?"

Dong Xuecheng slandered: Why leave one hundred thousand taels for the imperial court? Just say it straight, you get two hundred thousand taels, I get one hundred thousand taels.

But he was very respectful: "Thank you Futai!"

Zhang Yutian and Dong Xuecheng were both Han people who surrendered in Liaodong. The Qing court always favored the north over the south when using Han people. In the eyes of the regent Dorgon, the Han people in Liaodong were among their own people.

Since these two northerners were the confidants of the regent, they naturally did not pay attention to the Jiangxi commander-in-chief Jin Shengheng and deputy commander-in-chief Wang Deren, who were both from the south. They shouted at them and even privately called them by their nicknames when they were thieves.

.

"Wang Zamao" is the nickname of Deputy Commander-in-Chief Wang Deren. He was so named because he was born with two tufts of white hair under his cheeks.

Dong Xuecheng sent someone to bring Zhang Yutian's official ticket to Wang Deren's camp.

Wang Deren sat upright in the camp and asked the messenger: "Governor Zhang sent you here for what purpose?"

"Futai heard that Vice General Wang had gained a lot in Ji'an, so he came to Vice General Wang to help him pay 300,000 taels to meet the needs of the court."

Wang Deren was displeased: "We, poor soldiers, risked our lives to quell the rebellion for the imperial court. The imperial court did not reward us, but asked us to help pay. What's the point? Go, go, nothing!"

The official, following Zhang and Dong, acted arrogantly and domineeringly in Jiangxi, and he was used to being domineering.

Hearing this, he was furious and threatened: "Vice General Wang, don't think that Futai doesn't know about you in Ji'an, killing good people and taking merit, taking bribes and perverting the law. Just hand over these three hundred thousand taels obediently. Otherwise, be careful with Futai."

If you read this book, disaster will come."

What! Threatening me! You don’t even want to know where I am from!

Wang Deren is a ruthless man. He was originally from Li Chuang's old corps. He has been a thief for twenty years and is ruthless. He is nicknamed "Wang Zamao". Since ancient times, only thieves ask others for money. How can there be any reason for others to ask for money?

When someone threatened him, the ruthless Wang came up. With a roar, his eyes flashed out, he cursed at the official: "I am Wang Liu, a thief, and Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty forced me to die for me. You don't know!"

Officials can be obtained without pay, but they can be obtained with due diligence."

Gang refers to a thicker stick.

Wang Zamao ordered around, pushed the officer down, held a big stick in his hand, and hit him thirty times with a big stick, while banging and cursing: "Send a seal to heaven, this is 300,000 yuan!"



??

"Commander, great news! Vice General Wang beat up Governor Zhang's officer."

Secretary Wu Zunzhou of the shogunate quickly reported to Jiangxi Admiral Jin Shengheng.

Jin Shengheng stroked his beard and smiled: "The Wang family is in a hurry!".

"Commander, Vice General Wang has rebelled. Now is a good opportunity to start an uprising!"

Jin Shengheng thought for a while: "Secretary Wu, please go to the woodshed and invite Mr. Nai Yuan, Prince Jing's envoy, to come out."

Jin Shengheng, the commander-in-chief of the Jiangxi military affairs of the Qing Dynasty, was a powerful character. He was not like Wang Deren, who showed emotions and anger. This man was very deep in the city. Although he hated Zhang Yutian and Dong Xuedong was deeply rooted in his bones, he did not show off at all on the outside.

It's extremely polite to call them brothers and sisters.

General Jin and Deputy General Wang were fellow villagers, both from Shaanxi. They were both former thieves and were nicknamed "One Dou of Millet". Later, they were demoted to Zuo Liangyu and ate the imperial grain. Later, they followed Zuo, the son of Marshal Zuo.

Menggeng surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Ajige ordered Zuo Menggeng to lead his generals to Beijing for pilgrimage. Jin Shenghuan was too narrow-minded and feared that he would lose military power by going to Beijing, so he volunteered to lead his troops and capture Jiangxi for the Qing Dynasty.

The Qing government agreed and sent another detachment of Li Chuang's surrender army from the Wang Ti Center to follow him.

There are more soldiers and horses in the king's body than Jin Shengheng, but Dorgon deliberately made Jin Shengheng the chief general and his deputy in the king's body, so that they can control the size of each other and have conflicts, so that they can be easily controlled.

There were many people in the king's body, so he did not take Jin Shengheng seriously. Jin Shengheng was not angry at all, shouting "Brother Wang is long, brother Wang is short" while secretly bribed the generals in the king's body, Shaanxi fellow Wang Deren.

Jin Shengheng used a "bluff" to attack Jiangxi. He sent people with cards to go to Nanchang, claiming that the Manchurian troops with more than 200,000 infantry were approaching day and night, and only a quick surrender could avoid the massacre.

It was very effective and scared away Kuang Zhao, the governor of Jiangxi in the Ming Dynasty. The people of Nanchang introduced some representatives to welcome "Jindu Town".

After peacefully occupying Nanchang, Jin Shengheng wanted to dominate Jiangxi, but there was still Wang Tizhong with strong soldiers and horses. What to do?

The opportunity will come soon.

First, a beauty came to help. Both Wang Tizhong and Wang Deren fell in love with Huang, the sister of the general Huang Tianlei. For the beauty, the two turned against each other. Jin Shengheng effortlessly wooed Wang Deren for his own use.

Then, Wang Tizhong made a mistake: he wanted to be a traitor and also wanted to grow his hair.

Wang Ti Zhong was originally a subordinate of General Li Chuang Bai Wang. He killed Bai Wang and was surrendered to the Qing Dynasty as a traitor. Unfortunately, he forgot one thing: being a traitor requires shaving his head.

When the regent's order to shave his head arrived in Jiangxi, Jin Shenghuan said "shave it" without saying a word, and the whole army was arguing with each other. The king refused to do it in the body and refused to shave his head. Are you kidding? If you shave your head, how can you see your ancestors after you die?

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Jin Shenghuan thought this was a good time to get rid of Wang Tizhong, so he laughed and tricked Wang Tizhong into discussing matters, and killed Wang Tizhong. Wang Tizhong was so angry that he "swarmed to the camp gate and shouted to kill Zhentian". Jin Shenghuan supervised the soldiers fighting in the street, but Wang Deren's tribe turned against him and killed two people.

Tian, ​​annexed the central part of the king's body.

Later, Jin Shengheng led Wang Deren to conquer Fuzhou and killed Zhu Ciyan, the king of Yongning, the Ming Dynasty clan; he captured Ji'an and captured Kuang Zhao, the Ming governor; he occupied Guangchang and Yuanzhou; and together with the Green Camp troops, he captured Ganzhou.

Marshal Jin thought that his contribution was so great that a governor of Jiangxi could not escape. Unexpectedly, the regent Dorgon sent governor Zhang Yutian and inspector Dong Xuecheng to Jiangxi. He was only given a general military officer to guard Jiangxi and other places. Wang

Deren also only got one deputy general.

He was dissatisfied and asked the Qing court to issue another edict granting him the power to "control civil and military affairs" and "act expediently". The Qing court issued a report to the Ministry of War, rejected his request, and only changed his official title from the chief military officer guarding Jiangxi and other places.

He was the admiral and commander-in-chief of Jiangxi Military Affairs, and stipulated that "if the suppression of the Fu machine is of great importance, the town should discuss the strategy with Fu in a coordinated manner and listen to the decision of Governor Hong of the Inner Court."

After the imperial order was issued, Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren were greatly disappointed, complaining that the Qing Dynasty focused on the north and ignored the south, and was mean and unkind.

However, in this chapter, Dong Xuecheng is a man who wants money rather than his life. Hearing the news of Jin Heng and Wang Deren, they robbed half of Jiangxi during their campaign and made a lot of money. Every now and then, they came to extort Jin and Wang in the name of officials.

.

Gold, the king gave up his life but not his wealth, and did not give a penny. The conflict between the two sides became more and more serious.

Therefore, Zhang Yutian and Dong Xuecheng stepped up their efforts to collect evidence of Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren's secret dealings with anti-Qing forces and their intention to rebel, and reported them to the Qing court.

Jin and Wang were really preparing to rebel against the Qing Dynasty.

Wang Deren's thirty strokes against the official were nothing more than a trigger.

The Jiangxi inspector appointed by Zhu Hengjia, Wang Jiezhi, the new top scholar, was taken out of the woodshed. Wang Jiezhi was named Naiyuan, so Jin Shengheng called him Mr. Naiyuan.

Arriving in front of Jin Shengheng, Wang Jiezhi shook off the dust. He was neither humble nor arrogant, neither anxious nor impatient, showing his true qualities as a famous Confucian.

"General Jin has made a decision? Should I return to the Ming Dynasty anyway, or should I offer my head to the imperial court in order to gain wealth?"

"Mr. Nai Yuan is joking. Vice General Wang and I have long wanted to return to the Ming Dynasty. We detained your husband in the woodshed before because we really wanted to protect your husband."

On the orders of Zhu Hengjia, Wang Jiezhi went to Fuzhou, Jiangxi, and recruited the censor of the Youqian capital of the Longwu Dynasty. After Jie Chongxi, the governor of Hedong, he heard that Jie Chongxi said that Jin Shengheng had the intention of returning to the Ming Dynasty anyway. So he asked Luo Hu, a member of the Jinyi Guards Qianhu, who was traveling with him, to go first. Returning to Guilin, he risked his own life and went to Nanchang to persuade Jin Shengheng to surrender.

Unexpectedly, Jin Shengheng was an old and treacherous man. He neither said he would surrender nor said he would not surrender, so he was imprisoned in the firewood shed for a month.

"General Jin abandoned the dark and turned to the light, and the court will not treat you badly."

Jin Shengheng laughed twice and took out a piece of paper from his hand.

"This is a letter I am sending to the prison country for my subordinates to ask for a seal. I ask Mr. Naiyuan to speak kindly to the prison country."

??

Zhu Hengjia's face was livid, and he pressed his fingers hard on the imperial desk, where the invitation letter from Jin Shengheng was placed.

The letter listed a large number of names and official positions.

Jin Shenghuan, Duke of Yu; Wang Deren, Marquis of Jianwu; Chen Fang, Governor of Jiangxi; Wu Zunzhou, Chief Envoy of Jiangxi; Huang Renlong, Inspector of Jiangxi; Song Kuiguang, Chief of the Nanchang Army; Huang Tianlei, Chief of the Fuzhou Army??
