The cabinet boss who took the initiative to impeach Lin Ruhai actually became the commander-in-chief of the reinforcements under the joint recommendation of many parties.
As for Lin Ruhai, who was impeached, he has not been implicated for the time being because it is still a war period, but it is said that he is currently thinking of settling scores.
At the same time, "Cong Sanshao"'s new book "National Thief" once again caused a sensation in the entire capital city, as well as officials and dignitaries.
It continues the plot of the previous "Donglin Party" and mainly describes the actions of the eight major businessmen in Xishan. It caused a huge sensation when it was released.
If the Donglin Party is only engaging in internal party strife, then the eight major businessmen of Xishan in "National Thieves" are pure collaborators and treason.
; Monopolizing border trade with the grasslands beyond the Great Wall is nothing, but secretly smuggling grain and ordnance beyond the Great Wall, and constantly providing intelligence on the border for profit is unacceptable.
Not only that, through massive money offensives, they eroded important border towns, bribed senior and mid-level generals stationed at the border, jointly passed border trade, and continuously asked for money and grain from the court to make a fortune.
Among them, the so-called eight major merchants in Xishan were cautious at the beginning and did not dare to do anything too obvious.
But when the Donglin Party tormented the Ming Dynasty to a great extent, and the eight merchants in Xishan became stronger and stronger, they became more and more courageous.
Later, he even took the initiative to support the thief to respect himself...
He took the initiative to support a certain grassland tribe to become a strong man on the grassland, but the complicit generals in the border towns deliberately let it go and let it invade the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty to plunder.
When the prairie tribe cavalry left, the so-called eight major merchants in Xishan were able to obtain massive amounts of plundered materials from the prairie tribe cavalry at extremely low prices.
If there are any business families or forces that cannot be dealt with by the eight major merchants, they can be dealt with directly with the help of the prairie cavalry.
Later, even the powerful local factions in Xishan who refused to submit honestly were killed through external forces. Even the important generals sent by the imperial court to the border, who refused to join in the evil, were killed through the so-called spokespersons of the eight major merchants in the court.
, and the cultivated grassland tribes outside the Great Wall jointly strangled them.
It can be said that Lieutenant General clearly explained the appearance and methods of a group of national thieves.
Finally, through the hands of the eight great merchants of Xishan, a foreign force outside the Great Wall was actually cultivated that could pose a huge threat to the country in the north of the Ming Dynasty.
The content and plot are so shocking that all the book fans were dumbfounded and frightened.
Even the big shots in the court, as well as Jin Jin, couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring after hearing this, and felt a sense of sorrow for the death of a rabbit or a fox.
When coupled with the current war in Xishan, people have to be suspicious.
In particular, the Crown Prince of Chu, who had been reminded by Jia Cong's letter, made a shocking revelation during a private chat with the King of Chu.
"My father may not know that Jia Cong, that boy, corresponded with me before and told me a very strange situation. It is very strange that the barbarian cavalry can suddenly attack the hinterland of the Western Mountains this time. At that time, not a single border military state had fallen!"
"what do you want to say?"
"Father, is it possible that as mentioned in the book "National Thieves", some forces in the Western Mountains colluded with the barbarians outside the Great Wall..."
Although the King of Chu didn't have any reaction at the time, when he went to the palace to see him not long after, he 'accidentally' revealed his lips.
It's hard to say what kind of reaction we should have nowadays. At least necessary precautions and detection are absolutely indispensable.
Jia Cong received the letter from the Prince of Chu, which also said something like this, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
At this time, the reinforcements commanded by a certain cabinet boss fought with the barbarian army in the hinterland of Xishan. The result was that the entire government and the public were shocked, and the entire army that had come to support from various places was defeated.
Of the 100,000-strong army, fewer than 30,000 were able to escape to a safe area!
As for the cabinet boss who was the commander-in-chief, he ran very fast and slipped back to Jinyang City as soon as possible. He even arrogantly wanted to control the Jinyang garrison.
Lin Ruhai doesn't have a guy like Niao. Anyone who is not a fool knows that this guy's official career ends here, and it's hard to say whether he can escape smoothly.
Soon, the furious Jin sent the embroidered guards to take away the frustrated cabinet boss and read out an imperial edict to remove him from office in public.
Because the 100,000-strong army was defeated so quickly, a large amount of weapons and supplies were obtained by the barbarians. For a time, the barbarians became arrogant and powerful.
On the contrary, the morale of the Daqing army on the Xishan side dropped sharply, and several military states were even captured by the barbarians.
As a result, more barbarian cavalry passed through the captured Junzhou defense area and poured into the hinterland of Xishan like a tide.
The imperial court was unable to mobilize any capable soldiers for emergency support.
To make matters worse, major floods occurred in the Huaiyang area in the hinterland of Daqing, and a severe drought occurred in the northern region. For a time, the refugees were everywhere in misery. The court had to focus most of its energy on internal stability, so where could it care about Xishan?
Now that he was in so much trouble, he had no choice but to hand over the task of guarding against the barbarian cavalry to Lin Ruhai, the governor of Xishan, and gave him the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of War, which qualified him to command all the officers and soldiers in Xishan.
At this time, it's time for Jia Cong to shine again...
Everyone in the government and the public thought that Xishan was completely doomed this time, but no one expected that Jia Cong would ride out and the number of Qingqi behind him would change from one thousand before to three thousand now.
The barbarian cavalry, which was galloping invincibly and was so proud just now, could not withstand the successive charges of Jia Cong and his men if they numbered less than five thousand.
Sweeping all the way, they were invincible, and the three thousand light cavalry behind them were constantly rotating. However, in the past two months, they had fought in all directions and stabilized the originally chaotic situation.
It's a pity that the mobile cavalry that can be mobilized is limited, and it can only temporarily stabilize half of the Western Mountains from the barbarian cavalry.
But that's it, it's enough...
When we did this before, many local powerful people in the Xishan area were still talking strange words, but now no one dares to talk nonsense.
Jia Cong was an out-and-out ruthless man. When fighting against the barbarian cavalry, whenever there was a powerful force that refused to cooperate or secretly held back, this guy would not take the slightest consideration and would directly accuse him of collaborating with the enemy and destroy him completely.
With the unlucky cabinet boss promoted by the Xishan local powerful faction, the Xishan powerful faction can no longer cause trouble for Lin Ruhai in the court.
Lin Ruhai is as stable as Mount Tai, and Jia Cong will naturally have no problems.
If you don’t accept it, kill!
I just didn't expect that someone would dare to assassinate Lin Ruhai at this time!
Fortunately, Wangcai had been following Lin Ruhai as a personal bodyguard and helped Lin Ruhai get out of the siege, but even so, he was still shocked.
After hearing the news, Jia Cong immediately returned to Jinyang and interrogated the captured assassin in person, and soon learned the origin of the assassin.
The Eight Great Families of Xishan!
They have united and want to drive away or kill Lin Ruhai!
As for what reason?
Anyway, Lin Ruhai and Jia Cong didn't know, but there was no need to know.
After that, Jia Cong carried out a brutal and bloody massacre against the so-called eight major families in Xishan, and directly blamed them for the barbarian invasion, which caused a shock in the entire Xishan.
But with military power in hand, Jia Cong didn't care about what happened outside.
At this time, he suddenly received a letter from Prince Zhongshun who was about to go to an overseas vassal country, and he still asked him about how to increase the population of the feudal country.
Jia Cong was so funny that he replied directly with a letter. The content was very simple. At present, the hinterland of Daqing is suffering from both drought and floods. Aren't the refugees everywhere a qualified source of population?
But not long after, Prince Zhongshun wrote again. The content in the letter surprised him. Prince Zhongshun naturally thought of this idea, but unfortunately he refused to agree.
With a thought in his heart, Jia Cong immediately had an idea...
So, Prince Zhongshun, who had not yet left half a month later, received a thick letter. At first, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. When he saw what was in the envelope, he couldn't help but smile strangely.
Soon, the new "Thieves" by "Cong Sanshao", published by Huiyou Bookstore, was once again popular in the capital.
The new content and plot continue the previous two books "Donglin Party" and "National Thieves". The specific description is how the Ming Dynasty collapsed under the joint efforts of rogue thieves and various forces.
Among them, the bandit forces caused the greatest harm to the Ming Dynasty, because the rampage of bandits caused the production and living order in the hinterland of the Central Plains to completely collapse. The court was no longer able to stabilize the place, let alone collect enough money and grain from the local area to quell the bandits.
, due to several mistakes by the imperial court, the power of the bandits grew stronger and stronger, and finally swept the north and even completely destroyed the Ming Dynasty, which lasted for almost three hundred years.
In the meantime, it describes the destruction caused by many bandits, the torment suffered by the people, and the helplessness of the government to completely lose control of the local area. In short, it means the same thing: the destructive power of bandits is too terrifying, and it is best to nip it in the cradle.
The plot caused a huge sensation in the capital city.
Prince Zhongshun contacted the powerful factions in the clan who might seek to seal the country overseas, and at the same time put pressure on Jinjin. They were willing to absorb the refugees in the hinterland of Daqing, and hoped that Jinjin and the imperial court would not stop them.
I have also read the book "Thieves" today, and I was also shocked by the plot described. I now have a clear understanding of the dangers of refugees becoming thieves.
Although I was unhappy with the persecution from the Yiqian clan, I had no choice but to hold my nose and admit it.
Not only Prince Zhongshun, but also several subsequent princes and princes who had great hopes of becoming a kingdom, also started to absorb the refugees and digested the refugees in the North as quickly as possible, for fear that the present day and the imperial court would regret it.
When Jia Cong received the news, he smiled slightly and didn't pay much attention to it. However, the rolling luck made him feel happy.
Not only that, as princes and princes became overseas, a trace of dragon energy that was different from ordinary luck was also absorbed into the pagoda of fortune in the sea of consciousness. Every time I saw that strand of hair
The big and small golden dragons of luck are wandering in the ocean of luck, and I can't help but feel contented.
