Chapter 63 Oops! The enemy becomes the immediate boss
Since Concubine Liu did not interfere, Chongzhen thought that it would be better to let go of this matter first. He had to concentrate on studying the uprising of Zhang Xianzhong in Gucheng again. He killed county magistrate Ruan Zhidian and inspector Lin Mingqiu, demolished the city walls, and robbed the treasury and imprisoned the treasury. Zhang Dajing and Ma Tingbao of the Ming army, and Xu Qizuo was forced to surrender. When Zhang Xianzhong left Gucheng, he wrote the list, numbers and time of bribes from officials, all of which were written in detail on the walls inside and outside the city.
This made Chongzhen very angry! He was furious. It was these corrupt officials who ordered Zhang Xianzhong to rebel and the situation worsened! It was these corrupt officials who disrupted the Ming Dynasty! Now he had no intention of caring about Zhang Biwu and the tribes of the three counties, and he had urgent matters to discuss. He was discussing the matter of training wages with Yang Sichang and others, and how much to charge, it would be necessary to discuss these.
So Chongzhen wrote the word "Liu Zhong" in these memorials and ignored it.
Wang Chengen understood that it would be bad if Zhang Biwu dared to betray him! So Wang Chengen wanted to send someone to tell Zhang Biwu that the emperor's will be grateful! He could not have a second thought, otherwise Zhang Biwu would have to die.
Wang Dehua stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Li Chuang's traitor was found in Shangzhou. Although Cai Tu, the former magistrate, was not a talent for military officers, and could not destroy Li Chuang's traitor. He transferred him from Shangzhou. He has not appointed him a new magistrate now!"
Chongzhen was surprised. It was rare for Wang Dehua to come to ask for help Cai Tu seek an official position. This was a very rare thing! For this reason, Chongzhen had to sell his face to this important official.
Chongzhen asked, "Then where do you think he should be transferred to as the governor?" Wang Dehua said, "Shanzhou! Now there are not all parties who say Zhang Biwu, right? Cai Tu is very good at coordinating everyone. The most important thing is loyal to the emperor! This is the most important thing! As long as Cai Tu is there, everything will be easy!"
Chongzhen then knew it and said, "Okay! Since it is Wang's opinion, how could I disagree? Just draw an order! Cai Tu is transferred to the magistrate of Shaanxi Province!"
Wang Dehua smiled and said, "Thank you, the emperor!" Wang Dehua thought to himself: "Zhang Biwu, if I transfer Cai Tu, you can't stretch your fists! Hey! It's not in vain that I have taken so much money from the people in the three counties! Of course I want to help you do things! And Jiang Fei, you are determined to kill Zhang Biwu. You are still worried about this matter in Liaodong. You know how deep your hatred is! Gao Qiqian also has an objection to Zhang Biwu. Zhang Biwu, I don't want to harm you, and there is nothing I can do! It's best if you don't have any handle on my hands!"
At this time, the court had issued an edict to increase the tax and levy. In the past, when it was said that the Liaodong incident was in an increase, the tax and levy would not bother the people again. However, the tax was still the same and never stopped. Now, the tax was even more severe, which made the people even more resentful! The people hated it!
The government has lost its credit, and the people's lives have been hard enough. Now, not only does it not lighten the taxes and taxes, but it has increased more and more, which has made the people unable to survive. More people want to rebel.
The entire Ming Dynasty faced great challenges. It was precisely because the people were not treated as human beings and that the people could not survive. The reason why Li Zicheng was able to grow rapidly in the future was because the court's increased pay to make the people survive. They had no other way except to rebel, and they regarded Li Zicheng as their savior in the future.
Lu Xiangsheng heard what Yao Dongzhao said that the imperial court had increased military pay, and the burden on the people became even heavier.
"Ah!" Lu Xiangsheng said with a breath and said, "Your Majesty! How can you listen to Yang Sichang's words? Yang Sichang's increase in salary is a move to destroy the country! This is simply a drinking poison to quench thirst and fishing for exhaustion of the lake! Alas! Defeat! Defeat!"
Yao Dongzhao sighed and said, "It's over now. Husband and ancestor, you are not in the temple. No matter how heartbroken you are, it will be useless! However, I found that someone appeared here! And I was stared at!"
"Are you staring?" Lu Xiangsheng became alert. "Yes!" Yao Dongzhao nodded and said, "I heard that some people are inquiring about your husband's ancestors! So I hurriedly moved my husband's ancestors to another place, hoping that it will be safe now! I can avoid these people!"
Lu Xiangsheng didn't say anything, he fell into deep thought because the whole country thought that he was dead. If he hadn't died, the court would not let him go. Maybe he would have implicated Zhang Biwu. This is what he was most worried about, so he had to think of a good idea now!
When Zhang Biwu saw the edict of increasing the salary, he sighed. He knew that if he continued to force this way, his reputation he had finally established in the three counties would be shattered, but he had to have money in every aspect!
How can I hand over the emperor if I don’t collect taxes from the people? How can I raise my troops to expand my power? Money! Every bit is money! Only those big clans can help me raise my troops, and I can’t have more soldiers! Now more than two thousand is appropriate. I have to give money to the court!
Zhang Biwu had to go to the emperor's memorial first, hoping that Chongzhen would not collect it anymore, although he knew it was useless at all. Sure enough, Zhang Biwu's memorial was left behind, which was expected.
Wang Chengen's warning has arrived, which shows Chongzhen's distrust of people, which is the most heartbreaking thing. As the saying goes, "Don't doubt people, but you don't doubt people, but you doubt people everywhere, so how can people serve you? Being loyal to Chongzhen? It's difficult! Zhang Biwu is not the kind of foolish and loyal person.
In addition, Cai Tu had already sent a letter to Zhang Biwu to ask Zhang Biwu to quickly go to Shanzhou to meet him. Lingbao and Yanxiang were originally the county of Shanzhou. Now he came to ask Zhang Biwu to come to Shanzhou to meet him, looking like a boss in the immediate future. What a good guy! As soon as Cai Tu took office, he had a warning!
You should know that Zhang Biwu is already the garrison of the three counties and is in charge of the military and political power of the three counties. But now there is another Cai Tu. Could it be Chongzhen’s distrust and uses Cai Tu as the monitor?
Zhang Biwu could only go and see him. He only brought Huang Qi, but he didn't know that Cai Tu was ready to kill Zhang Biwu! When he was in Shangzhou, Cai Tu was always worried about not being able to kill Zhang Biwu.
At this time, Lin Xiangfeng came and said, "I don't know why there are a lot of people here here walking around the military camp during this period!"
Zhang Biwu was so surprised that he asked, "There are a lot of more people walking back and forth in our military camp? What's going on?"
Lin Xiangfeng shook his head and said, "I don't understand! I'm just wondering! Look at these people who are rat-headed and rat-headed! Once we captured him, we knew it was the Dongchang Session. There was no way, so we had to let them go!"
Zhang Biwu was even more surprised: "The East Factory's seat?" Zhang Biwu laughed and said: "It's okay! Dong Factory has a lot of surveillances! By the way, I used the excuse of breaking into the thief in Shangzhou, and we were in a must-see place to pay for the major households. How about them?"
Lin Xiangfeng said: "It's not all some iron roosters! None of them wants to pay for it! Alas! It's really hard to deal with it!"
Zhang Biwu smiled and said, "I always have a way to control them! I have to punish them! What if I put people in prison, what will happen? None of them did all the things that hurt the heavens and the truth! If they don't punish them, what can they do! Otherwise they will think I can't control them! Who is the decision of these three counties? Is it me, Zhang Biwu or them! When I come back, I will take action! Use heavy punishment in troubled times! Otherwise, neither of them will know how to pay!"
"Not good!" Zhao Dawei rushed in quickly. Zhang Biwu looked at him and asked, "Dawei, what's wrong?" Zhao Dawei said, "Sir, my brother is gone!"
"What? Da Yong is gone?" Zhang Biwu was stunned. He was surprised. Da Yong is a honest and honest person. He abides by the law and leaves without any advice. This is something that has never happened before! What happened?
Zhang Biwu said to Lin Xiangfeng: "Lin Xiangfeng, send more people and Dawei to find each other, and you must find Dayi back!"
Lin Xiangfeng expressed his understanding and said, "Yes! I will definitely find him back!" Lin Xiangfeng went with Zhao Dawei.
Qin Huaiyu, who was shy with a big belly, came out and said, "Biwu, you must be careful! I think there is a problem with Cai Tulai now, you go to Shanzhou! He has a grudge against you, and Zhao Dayong is missing now, I am afraid..."
Zhang Biwu put his ear into Qin Huaiyu's belly and said, "Huaiyu, it must be about to give birth, right?"
Qin Huaiyu said with a sweet smile: "Yes! The doctor said that it may be born in these few days!" Zhang Biwu said with a bright smile: "Little fool! I will set off today! Then I will come back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow! At that time, I can wait by your side and wait for our child to be born with you!"
Qin Huaiyu said worriedly: "But Biwu, I'm really worried! What if..."
Zhang Biwu sighed and said, "Huaiyu, you don't understand! The emperor is suspicious. Now Cai Tu said that there is an emperor's imperial edict to be read. How can I not go? Don't worry! It's okay! Okay! Your first priority now is to have a good rest and help me give birth to a fat boy!"
"Yeah!" Qin Huaiyu smiled, but she knew that Zhang Biwu was dangerous to go there, but she didn't want Zhang Biwu to worry, so she turned back to the inner room.
Zhang Biwu called Caiyun and Caixia and said, "You two must take good care of your sister, do you know?" Although Caiyun and Caixia are slaves, Zhang Biwu and Qin Huaiyu did not regard them as maids, but instead regarded them as sisters. Caiyun and Caixia said, "Yes!" They went in to take care of Qin Huaiyu.
