Chapter 955

When Liu Yuanqiao entered Jinan, he was a little low-key. Of course, this low-key is the impression in the eyes of others.

At that time, Liu Yuanqiao led 30000 elite soldiers to enter here by land and water.

At that time, however, the situation was too chaotic. There were 700000 troops in the Ming Dynasty, who were forced to work hard. Within Shandong, there were large-scale disturbances of the Cao Gang. Millions of Cao Gang people occupied the canal and were repeatedly embarrassed by the Chinese army. In the eyes of many people, Liu Yuanqiao at that time should be in trouble at home and abroad.

It's just the secret plan of the Chinese army. Only a few people know it. Others think that the Chinese army is under siege.

But more than a month later, when Liu Yuanqiao left Jinan, he was very beautiful. When he left Jinan, he left with hundreds of thousands of troops.

After more than a month's hard work, most of the hundreds of thousands of Ming troops who participated in the siege have surrendered to the Huaxia army. Those who do not surrender also retreat to Henan. There are no enemy troops of the Huaxia army in Shandong.

After hundreds of thousands of Ming troops surrendered, the Cao Gang who rebelled on both sides of the Shandong canal were also terrified. They looked so powerful that the Chinese Army couldn't lift their heads. They thought that the Liu family today could not do without the help of the Cao Gang, and even publicly threatened that this time, they would make Liu Yuan bridge come to a standstill and make the eight faced Buddha bow to them.

In the eyes of the Cao Gang, Liu Yuanqiao is even a traitor. Without the help of the Cao Gang, he can't quickly expand his business to the whole country and become the richest Liu family in Linqing.

However, after the rise of the Liu family, they were ruthless, turned their face and didn't recognize people. Instead of reusing them, they regarded them as my shoes, abandoned them, and even spread a rumor.

The octahedral Buddha Liu Yuanqiao believes that water transport costs a lot and should be transported by sea, which has completely intensified the contradiction between the Liu family and the Cao Gang.

The water transport in the Ming Dynasty began at the beginning of the founding of the people's Republic of China. At that time, the Northern Yuan Dynasty was not destroyed. On the East China Sea, various forces and Japanese pirates were still endangering the sea borders of the Ming Dynasty, but they dared not transport these money, grain and thief taxes to the north by sea.

Then the taxes from the South were transported to the north through the canal, and millions of people were successfully fed. At that time, it was a good thing to stabilize the place and kill more with one stone.

However, after a hundred years of development, it has become a huge interest group. One thing is obvious, that is, the imperial court has to consume at least 34% of the grain transported from the South on the canal, which means that the cost is very huge.

Liu Jiaxing's family lives in the canal, but they also have a huge maritime fleet to do overseas trade.

It was impossible for the Ming court to ban the sea and abolish the water transport, because it almost offended the two richest groups in the Ming Dynasty, the Cao Gang who lived by water transport and its tens of thousands of officials and people.

At the same time, they all offended the big maritime merchants engaged in maritime trade and smuggling trade. Therefore, this is almost one-sided opposition. If emperor Chongzhen dared to do so, he would be against the people all over the world.

These officials grieved and painstakingly told the emperor that opening a sea ban was against ancestral training, and the cost of shipping was very high and dangerous, which was not desirable at all.

These things fooled emperor Chongzhen, but not Liu Yuanqiao.

Liu Yuanqiao is a pragmatist. He knows that the cost of sea transportation is dozens of times lower than that of water transportation. Under his administration, it is imperative to transfer grain from the south to the north and use sea transportation. The tricks of those officials and tycoons can't deceive him.

That is because everyone knows that Liu Yuanqiao is a very smart man, and no one can deceive him. After the Liu family gains power, they will certainly order to change the shipping, which makes the Cao Gang take risks.

The Cao Gang colluded with the imperial court and plotted against the Chinese army. At first, they had the upper hand. They could almost force the Liu family to give in, or they could find a way between the Liu family and the imperial court.

Several giants of the Cao Gang were celebrating each other. They were optimistic that in the near future, the canal would fall into their hands and become the territory they operated here for generations.

Who knew the situation was developing so fast.

The deterioration of the situation is almost described as a mountain collapse. One moment they still have the upper hand. The next moment, their failure is like a landslide.

In just a few days, they established their absolute defeat. At this time, although there are millions of Cao Gang still occupying the hub and many places of the canal, they know that there is no chance of winning at all.

They have many people, but they are not an army capable of fighting. They can only be said to be unarmed people. With many people, they can compete with the Chinese army.

But now the Ming army and millions of troops have been defeated by the Chinese army and are afraid of being killed by them. Are they afraid to attack these farmers?

At this time, everyone panicked. Everyone knew that there was a dead end and the end was coming.

These people are used to dealing with Liu Yuanqiao, but they know that Liu Yuanqiao is not a kind man and woman, and they will not spare him lightly.

Sure enough, Liu Yuanqiao was in Jinan. After lifting the threat of the Ming army, he began to solve the problem of Cao Gang.

Millions of Ming army, even let him disintegrate, the Cao Gang people are not the opponent of the Chinese army.

Cao Gang's people, he just a will, disintegrated the other party. His meaning is to hand over all the first criminals and the rest will not be investigated.

Moreover, Liu Yuanqiao is a shrewd man. The first offender he promised must be the person designated by him, and it is not that you randomly call someone to work for the dead. These leaders of the anti Chinese army can't hide if they want to.

In the past, they dared to challenge Liu Yuanqiao because they had millions of people. Now, millions of troops are not opponents of each other. They are extremely afraid of each other's massacre at any time. After Liu Yuanqiao made the conditions, they immediately handed over their leaders to save themselves.

This is also very realistic. We can't blame these small minions for their ruthlessness. After all, it's better to die hundreds of bosses than the Cao Gang.

Liu Yuanqiao was not soft hearted either. After the leaders of the Cao Gang handed them over, they cut off their heads on the spot and threatened the public. The others were headless and scattered all at once. The so-called millions of people and millions of troops were just a mob and were disintegrated all at once.

At this time, they took the initiative to run to the canal to help, to help the Chinese Army transport materials and grain for free, but they were rejected.

Now the canal is still in use. The Chinese army is gradually restoring the transportation of the canal, but it has paid equal attention to water transportation and sea transportation, and there is no need for so many people in the past.

Wu Fugui, the Minister of household, said publicly: "since ancient times, it has been a mercy outside the law for those who come to rebel not to kill the nine tribes. It is impossible to keep an iron rice bowl. The food of this official family is never eaten by rebels."

These rumors were released, but they completely cooled the Cao Gang.

They rebelled to keep their jobs, but they lost their jobs because of the rebellion.

This is an iron rice bowl that can be handed down from generation to generation. However, since they openly oppose the Chinese army, the Chinese army will not use them any more. If the Chinese Army dared to cross the bridge and draw the board in the past, they would dare to rebel and gain the support of public opinion.

But now, they are the first to rebel. It is generous for Liu Yuanqiao not to kill them. Do you still give them an iron rice bowl? It doesn't make sense anywhere.

Since the establishment of the canal, Cao Gang has played a great role in the canal, so the whole canal can not be separated from them.

In those days, Liu Yuanqiao could use the position of adjutant to coerce the main official. The main thing was that he colluded with the Cao Gang to compete with the local authorities and rule all the upper officials.

But this time is different from the past. Cao Bang took the initiative to rebel and gave Liu Yuanqiao an excuse. Liu Yuanqiao took the opportunity to eradicate them and get rid of them.

If it is the Ming court, it is basically impossible to remove this piece. If it is forcibly stripped, it will not only mean that the officials in the court will strongly oppose it, but also the voices of civil opposition will be great, and the road will be shaken to the fundamental level of the Ming Dynasty.

But now it's different. The Cao Gang's man-made opposition. The Chinese army took the opportunity to change water transportation to sea transportation. It's natural to push the boat with the water. Even the other party can't say a word.

Now the Cao Gang doesn't have any right to speak. Those who fail to revolt will not be killed. It's already a mercy outside the law. Do you dare to ask for a lot? In this way, Liu Yuanqiao has solved the problem of Cao Yun.

Of course, under the current transportation conditions, materials still need to be transported through canals. In many inland places, materials can not be transported to the seaside. Canal water transportation has been going on for a long time.

But they don't need so large a scale and so many people. The new dynasty has successfully got rid of the huge cancer of water transportation.

Liu Yuanqiao was very complacent. The war in Shandong not only solved the enemy and shook the foundation of the rule of the Ming Dynasty, but also solved the problem of Cao Gang. However, he knew that if the materials from the South were to be transported to the north, how much they would be consumed on the canal, and there was no need to transport them by sea.

The Liu family rose in this respect. Don't ask him how deep he knows the fishiness. He knows how much spending can be reduced for the new country. This is really a good thing for the country and the people.

Liu Yuanqiao was in a good mood and in high spirits. He decided to lead all his troops to the capital. While unifying the north, he faced the South and backed the north, and ascended the throne as emperor.
