Chapter 504

Their skill made the imperial court fall into great passivity. In the past, the imperial court stood at the height of the imperial court and took all kinds of measures and sanctions against them. Now, they use this skill to turn them into an army, which makes them very passive. It is impossible to use Liu's army without paying any price.

Sure enough, when this matter spread, the court's speaking officials and clear stream swarmed up, stood on the moral highland and made various criticisms and accusations against the emperor and the court.

It can be said that at this time, there was a surge of words and public opinion. Even the emperor could not bear the criticism of people all over the world, let alone Wen Ti Ren and Zhang Fengyi.

They know one thing, that is, there is still a Jinzhou guard who is struggling to support. When Liu Bu loses Jinzhou, the three guards in southern Liaoning are completely lost. The land just won back is lost again, which will make each of them spray and scold to death.

Another thing is the last straw to crush the camel, that is, Liu Bu formally wrote a letter asking to give up jinzhouwei and withdraw to Denglai town. The reason is that his troops are seriously depleted and many soldiers have died, which can no longer resist JianNu's attack.

The news made the officials in the court breathe a sigh of relief. Why did they breathe a sigh of relief? At least Liu Bu can still hold on, not dead, but can withstand it here. If Jinzhou is captured, Liu Bu is killed or runs away, it will be a disaster in the world. Even if it is as expensive as Wen Ti Ren, it will be directly scolded and killed by the Qingliu and Yanguan in the world.

He must also take full responsibility for the loss of southern Liaoning, because Wen Tiren publicly pointed out that the Liu family army had strong combat effectiveness. He sent them to guard southern Liaoning without supporting money and food or sending reinforcements. Who knew that the situation collapsed so quickly that his face was swollen.

The imperial court could not agree to Liu Bu's request for retreat, but this time the imperial court's attitude towards him was unprecedented good and gentle. It gave him full responsibility for the affairs of southern Liaoning and asked him to guard jinzhouwei, the last city, and wait for the opportunity to counter attack. The imperial court's reinforcements and money and food will arrive soon.

The imperial court has always been good at drawing a big cake to deceive others. The money, food and reinforcements he said will arrive soon. This may be a year and a half, or three or five years, which can't deceive others. Therefore, they immediately ordered to transfer a batch of food and military pay originally transferred to Hong Chengchou from the capital to the south of Liaoning.

According to the current rules of the imperial court, that is, the wild goose flies and plucks the hair. All those who handle it should share a profit. This military expenditure is no exception. In the face of it, the imperial court allocated 500000 Liang to Liu Jiajun as military pay, so that they can make a military sound for two months, encourage the morale of soldiers, buy food on the spot, and so on.

But when Liu Jiajun finally left Wu Xiuwen's money in the backyard, there were only 300000 Liang left. The rest must have been consumed and gone.

When Wu Xiuwen saw this, he could not help shaking his head. Unexpectedly, the imperial court had fallen so far and had become so corrupt. The Imperial Court pointed to the Liu family army to save their lives. Unexpectedly, he could only draw tens of thousands of liang of silver for them to fight. Even if he pulled out this silver, it was life-saving food and soldiers' desperate money, It's really wishful thinking to be deducted as much as 40% and work hard for you like this.

This is basically the norm of this era. Qi Jiguang was impeached and removed from office because of embezzlement of military pay. You know, in this era, if you don't embezzle military pay and operate normally, you can't run at all. This is a broken social system. It's impossible for you to oppose the whole social system.

Wu Xiuwen seems to be a fool. He just got 300000 taels, but when signing for it, he had to sign to confirm that he received 500000 taels, otherwise the other party would not give silver. If it was Liu Bu's temper, you would lose one or two taels, I don't want it, I don't sign it, but Wu Xiuwen is different. Although the mosquito leg is small, it's also meat, This is submission.

He is also admiring Liu Bu's strategy. He can really cry. The child has milk to eat. If you don't say a word, he will regard you as no problem. Now you're adding trouble to him, but he pays attention to you.

However, Liu Bu was temporarily relieved. Although he was given the right to deal with southern Liaoning affairs, it was a little late. In the eyes of the court, southern Liaoning was almost lost at this time.

Their operation put great pressure on the imperial court, which made them extremely passive. They were so passive that their small temple caught fire, panicked and hurried that they even forgot to trace Fu Zonglong's whereabouts. The governor of the dignified and bright side lost his way to office, and there was no one to intervene. There was no one to do this.

Fu Zhong, Fu Zonglong's confidant, wanted to complain. He thought Fu Zonglong had been killed by the Liu family. At first, he couldn't confirm it. When he returned to Tianjin Wei, he asked the port for governor Fu's whereabouts. He heard that the other fleet had sailed out a few days ago, and he knew that the event was bad.

So Fu Zhong sailed back to Jinzhou in southern Liaoning again, hoping to find Lord Fu's fleet. As a result, he came to the coast of Jinzhou. This time, he was directly rejected by the other party and was not allowed to dock. He asked about Lord Fu's whereabouts, but the other party told him that Fu Zonglong didn't come at all.

By this time, Fu Zhong was sure that Fu Zonglong, the owner of his family, should have been hurt by the Liu family, so he immediately went to Beijing and prepared to sue. However, when he just boarded the Tianjin Wei wharf, he was stabbed to death. It is said that he was robbed.

Fu Zhong is also a man of status. He has the title of a thousand generals in the imperial court. He is a thousand generals. He was stabbed to death in the street and robbed in public. In the end, it was nothing.

Now the whole Ming Court focuses on the war in southern Liaoning. However, because southern Liaoning is so critical, many people have suggested that Zu dashou of Jinzhou can send troops to Shenyang, hoping to reduce the pressure in southern Liaoning.

However, the order went on for several days and had already spread to Jinzhou, but Zu dashou refused to move anything. Are you kidding? It's not JianNu's opponent to let him lean against the city. Let him take the initiative to go out of the pass and fight with JianNu. Isn't this the birthday man eating arsenic -- looking for death? This is the disorderly command of the minister in the court. This is the disorderly life. He refused to carry out it.

Warlords like Zu dashou refused to carry out the orders of the imperial court and the orders of the military headquarters. They had no choice but to order him again and again to send troops quickly without any delay.

It was pointed out that Hong Chengchou's troops could be mobilized to support and take this opportunity to recover places outside the pass. However, Hong Chengchou is now commanding the army to encircle and suppress Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai. It is also at a critical juncture. If troops are transferred to other places at this time, their earlier efforts will be wasted, which will become a melon floating by pressing the gourd.

Therefore, in the face of such a dilemma, the imperial court has no choice but to pray for Liu bu. They are safe. They can only pray that they will not have any problems. If something goes wrong, it will be a great crime.

Now the Ming Court has reached the point of being stretched out.

Originally, the Ming Dynasty is having a hard time, but they can make up for the lack of revenue and expenditure in the north through the taxes in the south of the Yangtze River. However, after the battle of incubating silver, the local finance in the south of the Yangtze River began to collapse and became extremely short of money. However, the imperial court has no ability to control and control this, and can only allow its vicious development, resulting in economic collapse.

These officials, you let them make money and cheat people. They know it very well. They let them do some criminal laws or money and food. They also know it, but they are blind to tell them about economic affairs. They don't even know what an economic crisis is, so they simply can't handle such things.

The local finance was already extremely bad, but the financial burden of the imperial court was extremely heavy. There was no way but to increase local tax collection, which led to the resistance of the local people. There were anti rent and anti tax movements in all parts of the south of the Yangtze River in the Ming Dynasty. Even many people, unable to withstand the oppression, rose up one after another and resisted angrily. The most stable and prosperous south of the Yangtze River in the Ming Dynasty, Actually, there have been wars everywhere.

An accident happened in the south of the Yangtze River, the important place of Daming's wealth, which made Daming even more sad. Originally, a large amount of money and grain would be continuously transported to the north every year, but now there is no way to transport it, which makes Daming's finance, which is not rich, more difficult.

That's why the collapse in southern Liaoning is imminent, and the imperial court has no way but to get a little money and food to supplement, but it can't do other things.

Wu Xiuwen, who lived in Jiangnan for a long time, always thought that Daming was quite good. After all, Daming has lasted for more than 200 years. Even in a few decades, the problem is not great. In the history of Daming for more than 200 years, there have been no difficult times, even more difficult times than before, but they have passed safely.

But after he was in the capital, he found that the Ming court was nominally rich all over the world. In fact, the Ming court was very poor. Even if he collected 500000 liang of life-saving silver, he had to make up for it.

The Minister of household in the Ming Dynasty was the most difficult official. As the Minister of household and the important Minister of the country, he was in charge of a country's finance. Everyone wanted to compete for a position, but now he has become a hot potato that everyone can't avoid. The current Minister of household kept asking for letters and didn't want to do it anymore, and the emperor nominated several people, They all refused to go out one after another and didn't want to be.

Such a situation is really embarrassing. In the eyes of people like Wu Xiuwen, the authority of the Ming Court has disappeared.
