Chapter 845

Emperor Chongzhen was also a naive man. In his words, he always followed the ancient law and ancestral family law. He wanted to follow these rules and regulations, so he passed down the country, passed them on to his crown prince, and then passed them on to his son, so as to live up to the expectations of the people and the country.

But now, all the places they think can not be lost have been lost. Their hometown Fengyang has been lost and Nanjing has been lost. Emperor Chongzhen knows that no city in the world can not be lost. If the Chinese Army attacks, I believe that there is no city in the Ming Dynasty to stick to, and extinction is the immediate thing.

At this stage, if you can't face the real situation in front of you and live in the self illusion of living and dreaming, it's a dead end.

Emperor Chongzhen also understood that if something happened, the whole Zhuming royal family would be completely extinct. Since ancient times, no world has been lost in all dynasties, and the royal family can still survive.

Even when Li Tang had such a good relationship with the Sui royal family, he was still a relative, but after they captured the world, they still killed the royal family.

So now emperor Chongzhen will try his best to save Daming and his country.

The civil servants said that the eunuch could not be used or trusted. He wanted to use it. Anyone could use it as long as he could get practical things for him.

For example, Hong Chengchou, who commanded the army in Baoding, was notorious to the extreme. During his reign as governor of Jianghuai, Hong Chengchou fell out with the rich squires in the south of the Yangtze River because of the maysilver incident. The other party regarded him as a thorn in the flesh. There were as many impeachments and various lawsuits against him. In the Ming court, if he was impeached by his opponent, Hong Chengchou came first, Xu Jianqiang second.

But the more he was impeached, the more the emperor believed in him. What emperor Chongzhen hated most was that ministers formed parties for personal gain, which was the case before and even more so now.

When the imperial court was in its heyday in spring and autumn, when the court promoted the first auxiliary, the power of Daming was still so strong. However, at that time, the emperor was suspicious and Qian Qianyi was suspected of forming a party. He immediately drove him out of the imperial court. Today, Daming is volatile and people want to change. He is even more sensitive.

Thinking of Hong Chengchou, Emperor Chongzhen remembered one thing, which was the Mayday event that made Hong Chengchou fall down from the altar.

Before that, Hong Chengchou was regarded as the representative of scholar bureaucrats, the rising star of the official forest and one of the future masters. The whole scholar forest and Qingliu praised him, but he was the biggest suspect after the maysilver incident. Therefore, he was accused by people all over the world of selling gold and destroying bones. If he didn't have the military power given to him by the emperor, holding a military amulet and sitting in Baoding, I'm afraid the squires and rich people in the world will tear him alive and eat him raw.

The Mayday silver incident in Jiangnan was definitely one of the most serious political crises in the Ming Dynasty. At the beginning, the ministers were not aware of the seriousness of the incident. Many people thought that it might be that the rich squires in Jiangnan lost a sum of money. What's the big deal? Anyway, the imperial court did not lose, the ordinary people did not lose, and the rich had silver, They just eat fewer meals and buy fewer Yangzhou lean horses.

However, after a period of fermentation and a real crisis, Daming realized that it was very serious.

How tragic was this incident? He is equivalent to the fatal destruction of the economy of the whole Jiangnan and triggered the economic crisis of the whole Ming Dynasty. Of course, there is no such term as economic crisis in this era, but Liu Bu put forward it.

The handicraft industry and manufacturing industry in Daming have been very large-scale, and many workshops have changed to capitalization. However, the upper class rich in Jiangnan have lost a lot of silver, which makes them unsustainable and can no longer operate. A large number of workshops and shops have closed down, which also leads to a large number of people who work and eat and lose their jobs, It has become a homeless refugee without income. In this way, the reputation of Jiangnan is extremely withered and all industries are abandoned, just like a backwater.

At first, the government thought that this matter only had an impact on the squires and the rich, and it should have little impact on the government. However, after many things broke out and many things covered by people broke out, they knew that the impact of this matter on Jiangnan was like a super earthquake.

Almost all the officials took part. They didn't gamble with their own money, but gambled with the tax money in the government treasury. Once they failed, they didn't have so much money to fill the hole. Some officials abandoned their posts and fled, while others committed suicide, which dealt the most fatal blow to the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River. That's what happened after the Chinese army entered the south of the Yangtze River, One reason why it's so easy.

Because they were too short of money, the government couldn't afford to hire troops and horses, and the squires owed huge debts and a lot of money. They searched and squeezed desperately, causing local and various contradictions to break out. They couldn't unite these people against the enemy. On the contrary, when the enemy came, they opened the city to meet each other immediately, because they all knew and knew a little about changing the dynasty, You shouldn't have to pay back the money you owed before? Especially the money owed to the government and officials.

The unresponsive Ming Court did not really realize the seriousness of the matter until these things broke out and their Jiangnan was lost. The voice of the court for a thorough investigation of the matter was higher and higher.

Many people believe that Hong Chengchou was the biggest suspect in this incident. There were four biggest suspects in the maysilver incident that year. One was the local snake Zhu Dadian; The second was Hong Chengchou, who destroyed the incident. The third was Liu Bu, who held the military power in Yangzhou at that time, followed by Gao Wang, fan Ruoshui and others.

But some people's suspects were washed, Zhu Dadian died, and they were copied by the Chinese army. They haven't heard of getting a lot of money.

Gao Wang, fan Ruoshui and others are now poor to the point of begging in the streets, which is unlikely. There are only Hong Chengchou and Liu Bu left.

There are no stupid people in this world, especially when it comes to money. Everyone will become smart and go up several grades.

If Hong Chengchou got so much silver, would he still be an official? Still living such a hard life? There is only one result, which is the suspicion of high achievers. There is only one, which is the Chinese Empire.

The Chinese empire is also very suitable to be the promoter of this matter, because they have never been short of money. They need a lot of money to fight and raise so many troops. Many people wonder, where did they get so much money? Although it is said that the Liu family in Linqing is the richest in the world, it is still outrageous to be so rich. If they pushed for the Mayday silver incident that year, it makes sense.

Of course, the huge political turmoil is also the reason why this matter can not be traced. In the southern regime, they used the resources of the whole government to characterize this matter, that is, Hong Chengchou did it, and he cheated everyone's money.

After the Liu family came to power, they announced generously that they didn't have to pay back all the money owed to the government.

The Ming Dynasty in the north, through various evidence points, determined that this thing was done by the Chinese Empire. They are the behind the scenes murderers and the people who pit everyone's money.

The two sides blame each other, criticize each other and have their own opinions, which makes the people and these rich people don't know who to trust.

The current situation is the territory controlled by the Chinese Empire. They believe that Hong Chengchou did it. They made a lot of money and now live a rich life as a king.

Zhu Ming in the north, they firmly believe that all this was done by the Chinese Empire. They took away so much money that all the people and squires had no money. They took the opportunity to seize the south of the Yangtze River. Their ambitions and crimes are countless.

Emperor Chongzhen inadvertently thought of this matter and asked Xu Jianqiang to investigate and strengthen the publicity in this regard.

This incident has a great impact on Daming, but it is estimated that it is difficult to find out the truth. Even if it is found out, they can't punish the murderer and ask for money back.

In the current Chinese Empire, their strength is not under Zhu Ming. It is not easy to punish them.

Emperor Chongzhen just wanted to let the people all over the world know the true face of Liu's father and son of the Chinese army. As long as the people all over the world knew that he did it and knew their true face, they would eventually arouse the anger of people all over the world. Finally, thousands of people pointed out, sold gold and destroyed bones and destroyed their father and son.

Xu Jianqiang also believed that all this was done by the Liu family. As the housekeeper of the Liu family, he was very clear about the Liu family. He knew how much money the Liu family had. It was estimated that the Liu family had no more money than the German palace and the Lu palace of previous dynasties, and could not compare with the top Xiangwang, Fuwang and the king of Shu. The so-called Linqing Liu family was the richest in the world, It has always been the Liu family's propaganda and boasting.

They boasted so much that they took off the flower hat of the richest man of Daming, which really made them go all the way in business. Everyone wanted to do business with such a rich Liu family.

However, it is impossible to say that they have so much money and support so many troops. Where did they get their money? The only way is that tens of millions of people came to the pit during the maysilver incident, which makes sense.

Silver these days will not fall from the sky, but will grow from the earth and dig it out from the earth. It's not easy. It needs a lot of steps and processes.

The Liu family suddenly had so much money and supported such a large system, which can only show that they did the maysilver incident.

But Xu Jianqiang also knows that even if he knows, why not? As a state-level regime, even if they committed any kind of crime, Daming in the North could not punish him, and the emperor thought a little more about the people of the world attacking them.
