The golden sunshine fell in the courtyard in front of Wenyuan Pavilion, and there were many broken branches and leaves scattered on the ground, but the dewdrops on it had long been lost.

Since the cabinet ministers were discussing matters, there were several Si Shilang and the cabinet officials here who were cautiously lucky, for fear of stepping on dead branches to disturb the five bigwigs who were discussing matters.

Lin Weiran was silently observing Xu Jie's reaction while Gao Gong and Guo Pulian asked questions, and Xu Jie undoubtedly showed great sincerity in this matter.

This time, the wealthy businessmen in Suzhou will not attack the large workshops in Guangdong. Under the banner of "Transporting Japanese" and will not shake the Ming Dynasty's business foundation. It has already limited its influence to Suzhou City.

.

But he knew very well that this was not something in black and white after all. No matter how nice Xu Jie said it now, once he saw "profitable", it would probably be another situation.

Especially the banner of "Tiwu" is actually even more intriguing. Now the exchanges between Southeast merchants and Japan have almost been isolated, and they act more as producers. In the true sense, "Tiwu" is the joint business group Donghai Branch.

department.

It can be seen that solving the gap in rewards and preventing Suzhou merchants from harming the Ming Dynasty was an excuse. The real spearhead was still to the joint business group, but to completely overturn it through the joint business group.

I have to admit that Xu Jie is an extremely powerful politician. It was not an accident that he overthrew Yan Song. Now, when he just returned, he has already weaved a big net for himself.

Xu Jie looked at Lin Qinran's hesitant appearance, and was not sure whether Lin Qinran had understood the mystery, so he immediately gave Li Chunfang a wink.

Although Li Chunfang did not want to intervene in this battle, he and Xu Jie had already tied to the same chariot, so he had to stand up and express his opinion: "Gemaster Lin, the court is now in financial difficulties, and the wealthy businessmen in Suzhou are finally

It is a major hidden danger to the court. This matter will not affect Guangdong. Please put the overall situation first!”

Guo Pu and Gao Gong did not realize Xu Jie's true intentions and killer moves at all, and turned their heads to look at Lin Qingran, but they didn't know what Lin Qingran was worried about.

When Lin Xuran saw that Li Chunfang was instigated, he knew that Xu Jie might be imperative, so he had already made up his mind to take advantage of this excuse to defeat him.

He took a sip of tea, silently analyzing the current situation, then suddenly raised his head and asked: "Master Yuan Fu, whether it is the sea or the development of local commerce, it is inseparable from the rise of workshops. This time, it is true.

Just attack Suzhou?"

Although Guangdong is the base camp of the United Business Group, it is not too narrow-minded and intends to safeguard the interests of other regions. It also hopes that handicrafts in other regions can rise, rather than being pinned by Xu Jie in the bud.

When Li Chunfang heard Lin Weiran clearly felt relieved, she felt that the old boss's face was still useful, and she couldn't help but feel a little proud in her heart turning her head to look at Xu Jie.

"Of course this is the case. I also know the truth that too much is not enough. I will definitely not go against the rich businessmen in the world!" Xu Jie looked at Lin Shiran without realizing his true intentions and killer moves, and immediately responded happily.

In fact, he did not dare to oppose the rich businessmen in the world. In the past, Yan Song offended the Southeast gentry and Shanxi merchants and was counterattacked. This is a lesson from the past.

If you only grasp a large group of silk merchants in Suzhou City, especially if you have too many of these silk merchants, you will naturally not worry too much.

This is even in their interests. With the rapid rise of Suzhou's silk industry in recent years, the silk industry, including Songjiang Prefecture, has suffered a great impact.

Now that he chose to deal with the silk merchants in Suzhou, there must be many merchants in the southeast, which will give him greater influence in the southeast.

That's right, whether it's to stabilize Lin Weiran or for his own interests, he will already make this promise.

After Lin Qingran learned Xu Jie's reply, he seemed to be unable to pick anything anymore, but he gently pinched the tea cover and poured the tea water, nodding reluctantly.

The reason why he saw through Xu Jie's conspiracy and did not stand up and strongly opposed it was that he had already made arrangements in advance, and the other hand, this was actually not a completely bad thing.

A swarm of bees that are too comfortable will inevitably have various conflicts, resulting in frequent separation. However, once they encounter foreign enemies, the swarm of bees will often unite and cope with their natural enemies.

Xu Jie's sword slashed towards Suzhou City. The joint business group and the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce will inevitably suffer great losses, but it will undoubtedly make Suzhou hug tighter.

Not to mention the interests of the United Business Group and Suzhou, even within the United Business Group, they actually need this external pressure. Only in this way can they obey themselves more unconditionally.

That's right, although Xu Jie's move openly harms the interests of the United Business Group, and some people may even lose their heads due to it, it will also bring some benefits.

As for whether this matter will affect him, it depends on whether Xu Jie has the ability to uncover the fog that the United Commercial Group is rich enough to rival the country, and whether he can withstand his next offensive.

Gao Gong looked at Lin Qingran without objection, and then slapped the chair and said, "Since that's the case, then we'll slap the spirit of those illegal businessmen in Suzhou!" After a pause, he

Suddenly he said with some concerns: "It's just that Lin Run is so utilitarian. Can he do this job well?"

this……

Guo Pu and Li Chunfang couldn't help but exchanged glances, and found that Gao Gong still could not let go of the matter of Lin Run as governor Yingtian.

Lin Run was a third-class Jinshi in the 35th year of Jiajing. The reason why he was able to become the governor of Yingtian from a small supervisor in Nanjing in just a few years was undoubtedly the result of hugging Xu Jie's thigh. This person is indeed a relatively strong person.

Utilitarian heart.

But this utilitarianism has no connection with ability. Gao Gong is obviously not interested in Lin Run, so he questioned this so much. He simply looked at Lin Run with tinted glasses.

"Gei Gao, if he doesn't work, let's change it!" Xu Jie did not argue with Gao Gong about Lin Run's character, but responded disapprovingly.

Seeing Xu Jie's statement like this, Gao Gong couldn't continue to question Lin Run.

Although he is the Minister of Personnel, Xu Jie was also the chief minister of the current dynasty, so he could naturally push Lin Run to the position of governor Yingtian. Now Xu Jie has given this promise again, and there is no reason to object.

Of course, Lin Run's performance was not satisfactory, so he must take the opportunity to kick Lin Run away.

Seeing that the matter had settled, Lin Qingran suddenly asked: "Master Yuan Fu, now that Jiubian is planning to build a cavalry battalion, this should not be a problem, right?"

Li Chunfang and Guo Pu exchanged a glance silently, and found that this matter was filled with the smell of exchange of interests.

Lin Weiran is undoubtedly a representative of a combat faction. It is no longer a secret that he wants to build a cavalry battalion and fight head-on with the Mongolian cavalry.

If the imperial court had not had financial resources last year, Xu Jie also stopped it, and the construction of the cavalry battalion would have been implemented long ago.

Even during the difficult times, Lin Qingran solved various problems behind the scenes and cultivated small groups of cavalry, laying a certain foundation for the great victory in Shanxi.

Now he suddenly proposed that he had already made the case for the cavalry battalion legitimate, intending to get a share of the pie from the rectification of Suzhou silk merchants and divide a large sum of silver to form a powerful cavalry team.

Gao Gong also knew Lin Qinran’s thoughts, so he looked up at Xu Jie quietly.

"Gemaster Lin, you just severely injured the Tartars in Shanxi. I believe that Altan's army has been greatly damaged. In recent years, I may not be able to move south again. The Ming Dynasty court has many problems. Can this matter be slowed down again and again?" Xu

Jie didn't want Lin Junran to continue to grow bigger, so he tried to shirk the truth.

When Guo Pu and Li Chunfang saw the situation going on, they couldn't help but exchanged glances silently and watched the development of the situation silently.

Lin Junran guessed that Xu Jie would not be so happy, and continued to express his opinion: "Master Yuan Fu, no one has any future-proof, and the country should do the same! The Tartars were never so powerful that they could repeatedly invade the borders of the Ming Dynasty.

, But the combat power of our nine-side soldiers is declining day by day! There are many reasons for the decline in combat power, but the main reason is that these hereditary soldiers are content with the status quo, and many soldiers are not at all bloody. Now we rarely have a chance to breathe.

We should prepare for the current plan so that the people of the nine borders can no longer suffer from the suffering of the Tartars invasion of the border. Our Ming army returned to Taizu, and the heroic spirit of the Chengzu period, and even snatched back the land we lost!"

this……

When he heard Lin Yinan's ambitions, especially his last words, Guo Pu and Gao Gong were shocked, and his four pairs of eyes looked very surprised.

The so-called "snatch back the lost land" undoubtedly refers to the Hetao area.

The Hetao area has rich resources and fertile land. It also serves as the benefits of Yinshan and Helan Mountain. It has been a place that military strategists must fight for since ancient times. Dongshengzhou was established here in the early Ming Dynasty.

As the Ming Dynasty's border troops declined and failed in the battle for Hetao, the Mongolian tribes became rich by using Hetao, and even invaded Shaanxi, Gansu and other places from Hetao, which had been threatening the safety of the nine borders.

In the first year of Zhengde, Yang Yiqing pointed out the strategic significance of the Hetao region and put forward the political proposition of "resetting", but died because Yang Yiqing lost power.

In the 23rd year of Jiajing, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War of the Three Borders Zeng Xian submitted a "Reply to Hetao Memorial" to receive the support of Xia Yan, the chief assistant of the cabinet, but was killed by Jiajing.

Although everyone is clearly aware that "If Hetao exists, the border will be in danger, and if Hetao is lost, the border will be in danger", with the lessons of Xia Yan, no one dares to mention it in the later period of the Jiajing Dynasty.

However, more than half a year after Jiajing's death, Lin Xuran had already put forward this ambition in the New Dynasty of Longqing, which seemed to be trying to accomplish a great achievement that his predecessors could not accomplish.

Guo Pu and Li Chunfang reacted from the shock and exchanged winks silently.

Although the "reconciliation" shocked them, it did not seem so far away. Compared with the previous two times, neither Yang Yiqing nor Xia Yan were considered dazzling handsome men, and even Xia Yan had no military skills.

Resume.

However, Lin Weiran has proved his commander and commander through the Marutang victory and the Shanxi victory. If their cabinet really supports it, it may not be impossible to succeed.

Once Hetao is recovered and the ranch is seized, the Ming Dynasty will definitely become stronger as one rises and the other falls, which is indeed a move that will last for thousands of years.

Xu Jie's mouth opened slightly, and it took a long time to reconnect.

He originally planned to evade Lin Qingran and block his plan to build a cavalry battalion, but he never expected that this kid had such ambition and even showed his ambition at this time.

If he had enough excuses just now, but in the face of Lin Weiran's ambition to reconcile, he would not be able to find a better excuse for a while.

Xu Jie suddenly felt very confused, so he turned his head and looked at Li Chunfang and said, "Zi Shi, what do you think?"

"Mr. Lin Ge is right, so let's take this opportunity to prepare for the battle. The subordinates also agree to the establishment of the cavalry camp!" Li Chunfang hesitated for a moment and immediately made a statement.

Different from Xu Jie, he did not like the court where he lived in a mediocre way, and he also hoped that the Ming Dynasty could become stronger.

Although forming a cavalry battalion will bring burden to the Ming Dynasty's finances, compared with the strength of the Ming border army and the achievements of "reconstruction" in the future, all this seems to be worth it.

Huh?

Guo Pu originally thought Li Chunfang would object, but he just looked at him firmly and expressed his agreement, but he didn't know whether he was moved by Lin Shiran's ambition or whether Li Chunfang was a pro-war faction.

Xu Jie saw that Li Chunfang had agreed, and Guo Pu and Gao Gong must have supported Lin Junran, so he had to make a decision and said, "The Ministry of War will come up with a construction plan, and our cabinet will discuss it again, and then submit it to the emperor!

”

"As for your order!" Lin Weiran also bowed respectfully when he saw Xu Jie letting go.

Although it will cause certain losses to attack the silk merchants in Suzhou, as long as things are done properly, it will undoubtedly become a bad thing to a good thing. As for the establishment of a cavalry battalion, it will undoubtedly greatly strengthen the combat effectiveness of the border army.

He was different from the four people present, but he did not think it would be fine to block the Tartars from the pass. Since ancient times, he has been sailing against the current and retreating without advancing. If the Chinese nation wants to stand tall in the world, it must keep improving.

This "re-set" is just an appetizer. If the Chinese nation wants to truly rise, it may have to have the strength of the Northern Expedition and want to burn Altan's big board to the city.

The sun was already high, and the five cabinet ministers left the chamber and returned to their respective duty rooms, which seemed to be orderly handling the memorials of the two capitals and thirteen provinces.

After returning to the duty room, Xu Jie immediately picked up a letter to Lin Run, and then wrote a letter to Qian Bangyan who had returned to Suzhou. The plan to overthrow Lin Qingran was already a critical step.

He thought that the rectification of Suzhou would be strongly opposed by Lin Qinran, and it would probably take some verbal remarks, but he didn't expect that Lin Qinran did not seem to have noticed his real killing move, which allowed him to pass so smoothly.

Just when good news came from Lin Run, Lin Junran was successfully removed, and the remaining Gao Gong and Guo Pu were also ready to take action. This court will return to his Xu Jie era.
Chapter completed!
