As soon as Mang Gurtai heard about "Shencrow Cream", his eyes were filled with fascination.
Mu Zaohua told him that the divine crow soup boiled from poppy shells was only effective in clearing fire and stopping diarrhea at most, but the "Apiaomu ointment" sold to the Japanese countries in Nanyang was really more powerful than tobacco.
Good stuff for people's physical and mental comfort.
In the late Wanli period, tobacco leaves from the Ming Dynasty had passed through Kaiyuan, Fushun and other passes, and were spread to Jianzhou Jurchen by merchants. It was very expensive, and only Nurhaci and Mang Gurtai and other big banner owners could afford it.
Mang Gurtai, who has gradually become addicted to smoking, heard that there was fairy ointment on the tobacco, which made him curious. Then he heard that Mu Zaohua named it Shenya ointment, which made him feel even more auspicious and interesting.
"Sanbeile, after I escaped from the evil woman, I ran a business in Mongolia for a year and never saw the divine crow ointment. But Ming Ming, surnamed Zheng, clearly showed that the trading company made a lot of money from the divine crow ointment. She
I smoked it myself. I'm sure it was her concubine named Yan in Taiwan who got it from Nanyang for her. Even if Yan was recruited as a high-ranking official by the Ming Dynasty, he still secretly had a fleet of ships running to Japan to do business.
People named Yan and people surnamed Zheng are both people who have an eye for money, so there should also be people named Yan in Japan selling the divine crow ointment."
When Mu Zaohua said this, she did not show any excitement, and her expression was still cold.
Mang Gurtai felt that the Han woman in front of her looked more and more like the dead female shaman of the Yehe tribe.
For this reason, Mang Gurtai never dared to conquer Mu Zaohua physically until his father Nurhaci nodded.
If she gets pregnant, or is sued by the sinister and vicious Sibeile Huang Taiji to the Great Khan again, the Great Khan, who hates having his authority challenged the most, will definitely treat the female shaman of the Ula tribe before the king
Beside the well, a killing ceremony was held and Mu Zaohua's head was chopped off.
Mu Zaohua suddenly pulled her gaze back from the windy sky and towards Mang Gurtai.
The voice of the Han woman had a rare hint of spring orioles' euphemism: "Sanbeile, our road will become wider and wider. We built cannons to help the Khan conquer Shenyang, we got the divine crow ointment, and offered it to
Give it to the Great Khan to make his body and bones comfortable. You and I will work hard inch by inch, and the Great Khan will not only agree to your marrying me as a side Fujin, but will also give you his two yellow flags."
Mang Gurtai was really moved.
"Let me think about it. In order to eliminate Khan's suspicion, should I let Dege go to the Yalu River with you?" Mang Gurtai took Mu Zaohua's hand and waited until the day when I can welcome you in.
, you won’t be Xi Fujin, you will be my concubine just like Amma’s Meng Gu Zhezhe.”
Half an hour later, Mu Zaohua came to the Khan King's Well and called the maid Jilantai who had solemnly buried the poppy shell medicine residue.
She gave Jilantai a set of beautiful three-ear pliers jewelry: "The crow soup we cooked made my intestines not hurt after sweating profusely. Sanbeile praised us all the time. I asked him if he asked for this piece of jewelry.
Put it on."
Jilantai made a flattered expression and knelt down to thank him without hesitation.
Mu Zaohua quickly pulled her up and put on her earrings with gentle gestures.
"It's so beautiful," Mu Zaohua looked at her, like the eldest sister taking over the mother's duties, "Jilantai, Tong Xiyu said that the women in the Ministry of Construction are all unruly and fierce. Fortunately, I didn't believe it at first and didn't ask her to send it.
Hannu Baoyi. You are the daughter of a warrior who built the Ministry of Defense. If you accompany me into Sanbeile's house in the future, I will be more confident."
The speaker is intentional, and the listener is more intentional.
Jilantai bit his back teeth.
She knew that Nurhaci wanted her to spy on Mu Zaohua, but she hated another Han female aristocrat in Hetuala—Tong Xiyu.
Jilantai's father and husband both said that the idea of attacking the Yehe tribe that year was given to the Great Khan by the Tong family.
The Tong family even donated the treasures accumulated from generations of business for the Khan to reward the soldiers who built the ministry.
The Jianbu conquered the Yehe tribe, and the Tong family gained greater favor from the Khan and was raised as a flag, but Jilantai's relatives died on the battlefield.
In Ji Lantai's heart, it was the Tong family that made her a daughter without a father and a widow without a husband. She was so unlucky that she was almost sent to sleep with an old and dirty bachelor. But the same woman, Tong Xiyu, bathed in
In the glorious aura of my father and brother's family, my life was extremely nourishing.
Ji Lantai's pupils suddenly shrank, not because he couldn't hide his hatred, but because he suddenly saw Tong Xiyu walking over behind Mu Zaohua.
Jilantai followed the rules and stepped back and knelt down.
She heard Tong Xiyu's artificial voice coming from above her head: "Miss Zaohua is so diligent. She runs to Sanbeile every two days."
Mu Zaohua said: "Yes, if you run diligently, the cannon will be built, and I can go to Sanbeile's house. This is what Sister Tong must have said."
Mu Zaohuahao did not hide his sarcastic tone.
After she arrived in Hetuala, every time she saw Tong Xiyu, she thought that she, her brother, and her nephew had sneaked into Songjiang, and finally shot Mr. Wu dead. She wanted to pounce on her and bite her throat out.
For Huang Taiji's minions of the Tong family, she really couldn't control her emotions at all times like she could when facing Mang Gurtai.
Fortunately, Mrs. Zheng told her about the arrogant characteristics of Tong Xiyu, so Mu Zaohua simply showed vigilance and even aggressiveness. The Jurchens thought from top to bottom that since the new Han woman was Mang Gur, the leader of the Zhenglan Banner,
Anyone Tai likes will naturally be made difficult and excluded by the cronies of Zhengbai Banner Huang Taiji, so it is not surprising that Mu Zaohua openly disagrees with Tong Xiyu.
At this moment, Mu Zaohua stared at Tong Xiyu's face that should be pushed into the hell oil pan, and added: "Last time I watched the craftsmen making cannons, I also met Sister Tong. If Sister Tong wants to help
Let General Tong and the others take a look at the door, why don't they directly tell Si Beile and ask Si Beile to come and discuss with San Beile?"
Tong Xiyu smiled: "Okay."
Then he sighed softly: "For a while, I have been thinking that it would have been better if I had captured your old master named Zheng. She should know how to make cannons better than you and me, so that our two families would not have to worry about it."
It's a detour. Well, but she is like a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard. I thought about erecting some kind of memorial to the loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty, so I reported to the Khan and locked her up in the brothel on the other side of Beishan.
, let those savage Jurchens, who are like bears and vicious wolves, take turns to ruin her."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As Tong Xiyu spoke, she stared at Mu Zaohua, not letting go of every subtle expression change in her eyes, cheekbones, and corners of her lips.
But Mu Zaohua just listened calmly, and at the end, she said coldly: "Thank you, Sister Tong, for getting rid of your addiction. It can be considered as venting some anger for me. I don't have the interest of my sister. If I meet her again,
, I just want to take her life, and then let the Ming Dynasty suffer defeat, again and again. I want to teach those powerful civil servants who want to bully me. In the end, they all become Dajin's slaves, calling each master one after another."
Tong Xiyu glanced at Ji Lantai behind Mu Zaohua, and still said in a soft voice: "You are so ambitious, sister, I wish you immediate success."
…
Thousands of miles away, Beijing city.
Just after the first lunar month, officials of all sizes in various ministries and yamen received news that the Beijing inspection was about to begin.
This assessment of Beijing officials was originally conducted once every six years. According to normal rules, the next round of Beijing inspections will not be held until next year, the third year of Taichang.
However, the political animals in the officialdom of the capital were not too surprised by the early arrival of the capital inspector.
A scandal broke out in the Ministry of Rites controlled by the Donglin faction over the issue of ultimatums. The nephew of the former cabinet minister united with some ministers to submit a letter. From the Lu region to southern Zhili and Zhejiang, there were many gentry who accepted the ultimatum and made contributions in secret.
However, the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Metropolitan Procuratorate had no response to this. It can be seen that there are also officials in the Ministry of Finance who are colluding with the Jin gentry.
The Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Husbandry, and the Ministry of Inspection have made mistakes in hiring people, and the Ministry of Personnel cannot escape the blame.
In this case, how could Jingcha not arrive in advance?
"Alas, the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked, and the bird is gone and the bow is hidden. Long live the Lord, he is going to suppress Donglin."
"If you ask me, there's nothing wrong with it. How can it be that just because I said a few words to Lord Long Live, now I want to occupy all six yamen?"
"That is, in my opinion, although the Long Live Lord is not the emperor soon, he is still in his prime, and he is not like the late emperor who stayed in the palace and did not go to court. It is a good thing that the emperor dares to punish his ministers."
"Brother, what you said makes sense. If the emperor cannot suppress his ministers, there will be chaos below, and internal troubles will intensify foreign troubles."
In a teahouse near Qipan Street, young and old dandies from the capital city who had nothing to do gathered together and analyzed the court situation with spittle.
On the west side of the capital, Zhao Nanxing, the leader of the Donglin Sect, whose "Heting Tower" has almost the same meaning as the eunuch's birth shrine, repeatedly said "how ridiculous" several times.
Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou looked at the newly promoted Minister of Rites quietly.
Zhao Nanxing took a sip of tea and continued: "Yesterday, when I met the Holy Emperor, the emperor's words were full of jokes, and it sounded like he was teasing me. Instead, I should thank Madam Zheng. If Madam Zheng hadn't hacked the Ministry of Rites last year,
, I, the Minister of Taichang Temple, have not yet been promoted to Minister of Rites so quickly."
Yang Lian thought for a while and decided to express his opinion: "However, Mr. Heting, we are really not sure about this matter. We all think that Mrs. Zheng went to Shandong because she was dissatisfied with our Donglin teaching her how to be a minister.
Liaison with the Qi Party. In fact, she went to check the authenticity of the certificates for the fields and temples and nunneries. It also gave Taicang Fengying some strength, and also allowed the eldest son of the emperor to see the true situation of the prefecture and county. The so-called knowledge of government is lost in the grass, knowing...
…”
"Wen Ru," Zhao Nanxing interrupted Yang Lian, "you used to be a parent official in various places. It is reasonable to be happy when you see that the court can collect more land tax without increasing the burden on the people. But I remind you that these must be
This is not Zheng’s original intention.”
Yang Lian frowned invisibly: "Then it seems to Mr. Heting, what is her original intention?"
"He is smearing our Donglin in the emperor's mind and instigating the emperor to ask the cabinet and the Supervisor of Ceremonies to open the capital inspection in advance, and bring the ministers who are close to her into the capital to take important positions."
Zuo Guangdou raised his head and said doubtfully: "She has always been friends with Huang Zunsu and Lu Xiangsheng, aren't they both our disciples? What's more, Lu Xiangsheng has just entered spring this year, and the ranking has not been released yet. So what Duke Heting said, for example, who
ah?"
Zhao Nanxing snorted: "She has been making a lot of noise in Shandong for a while, and she has offended many wealthy people behind the Qi Party. I guess the Qi Party does not know it, and it should be people from the Zhejiang Party and the Chu Party. She stared at the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War
