Chapter 311 The result of the encirclement and suppression of the Eight Great Masters
To rebuild Dongjiang Town, money and grain were needed as the foundation, Chongzhen handed over this matter to Zhao Xing. In fact, Zhao Xing understood very well, that was to tell you clearly that you needed to give out everything, even the paper, pen and ink of the letter just now.
Therefore, Zhao Xing decided to complete the case of the Eight Great Masters of Shanxi first, and get some money, and everything will be resolved.
When Mao Shouyi saw Zhao Xing going to Shanxi first, he said anxiously: "My uncles and brothers are eagerly waiting for such good news. You should announce it to them as soon as possible."
Zhao Xing, who packed up his things, turned his head and looked at the guy who almost became a flies from that day. He had to explain patiently: "It is a big deal for Mao Shuai to rehabilitate and rebuild Dongjiang Town. It costs a lot of money to do it. If there is no money, how can I rebuild Dongjiang Town? So, I will go to Shanxi first to find money for your uncles and brothers, and it must be a lot of money."
"I understand this, but wouldn't it be better to inform them first and give them peace of mind?"
Zhao Xing stopped what he had and patiently explained to this stubborn guy: "If I don't bring money and food, I will be considered by the people of Dongjiang Town. This is still the same as I thought. The court only talks and has no reality. In this way, it cannot win the trust of them, and it cannot regain the dispersed military and people's hearts."
Mao Shouyi thought for a while and nodded in agreement with Zhao Xing's statement.
"Let them temper them for another two months. Only when the pain is heavier will they feel that this opportunity is precious and that they cherish it. They will feel that this is a big surprise."
Mao Shouyi scratched his head in a daze, not understanding.
Zhao Xing said in pain again: "To re-establish Mao Shuai's reputation and re-open Dongjiang Town will not only affect the interests of many people, but will also slap them in the face again because Donglin fully supports Yuan Chonghuan to kill Mao Shuai. They will fight to the death for their face. This is why I asked you to ban it. Once this good news is conveyed to the soldiers of Dongjiang Town, when I am not around, they will definitely not be able to withstand Donglin's crazy counterattack. At that time, all the previous efforts will be wasted."
Mao Shouyi, who has been by Zhao Xing for a long time, firmly believed in this regard and never doubted it.
"And I personally rebuilt Dongjiang Town with sufficient money and grain to make everything a fait accompli. At that time, if they wanted to oppose it again, it would be too late." Then patted Mao Shouyi on the shoulder: "For two months, if your uncles and brothers can hold on, then the future will be bright. But if you can't hold on for even two months, it only means that they are all waste materials, and I don't need to take out precious money and grain to do this useless thing." Then my expression suddenly became cruel: "If they do something that will harm the country and the people, I can't say that I can only fight the rebellion with all my might and destroy them."
Mao Shouyi was deeply grateful for Zhao Xing's far-sightedness. Mao Shouyi was so trembling with Zhao Xing's appearance. However, he had no other explanation. He could only pray in his heart, praying that his uncles and brothers would have to survive these two months.
Zhao Xing handed over the Jinyiwei to Zhu Chenguang's agent. Guo Guangsheng, who was promoted to the commander-in-chief, and Zhao Zi, assistant manager, told them not to handle major cases and arrest several small corrupt officials. As long as you give everyone enough benefits, do your job well, and do not cause trouble. Then, with Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, the three of them turned to Shanxi in a grand manner.
Along the way, we repeatedly pondered and studied the policies formulated by the three of them, looked for the mistakes, added and improved content, and worked day and night. We really tried our best.
When the party arrived in Taiyuan, Zhao Xing and Hong Chengchou broke up with Sun Chuanting. Sun Chuanting rushed to Guyuan, where the headquarters of the three-sided governor, while Zhao Xing and Hong Chengchou remained in Taiyuan.
As soon as his butt was sitting firmly, Hou Zhiwang, with dark circles, rushed to pay a visit and report. Looking at his expression, it was no easier than a life-and-death battle.
"Sit down and talk." Zhao Xing thoughtfully arranged seats for Hou Zhiwang, a capable general. "It seems very hard, but how are the things done?"
Hou Zhiwang admitted frankly: "As the master expected, I marched into Shanxi day and night by myself, and then ordered the Guguan County Magistrate and our Jinyiwei Guguan hundred households to block Guguan. As a result, Guguan arrested more than a dozen of eight families who fled back to Shanxi to report their news."
Zhao Xing smiled: "This should be reasonable."
"But fortunately, under the order of the adults, I mobilized the entire Shanxi Jinyiwei, and obtained the full cooperation of Mr. Chen Ce, who was left by the border area, and with the full cooperation of the militia township heroes, they caught all the eight great families in one go. However, after a hundred secrets, they missed the first culprit Fan Wendou, and asked the adults to punish him."
Zhao Xing smiled and said, "There is nothing perfect in the world. It's nothing to leave a dog with a wreckage. Tell me, can there be resistance?"
Hou Zhiwang nodded: "This is inevitable. After all, the eight families have great achievements and are traveling to the mainland and Mongolia, so they have raised a huge escort militia. Their equipment, strong combat power, and loyalty to the eight families have exceeded our expectations. In addition, they know that once they are caught, there will be no way out, so they are eager to jump over the wall and fight to the death. If the adults had not given their kindness in the border army and received help from the border troops from all over the country, they might not have seen the adults again."
Just this sentence shows how tragic the battle is.
“How is the loss?”
"I have a thousand households and a thousand yuan in full, but now I have only five hundred and one in the case of disability."
Zhao Xing was silent for a while, and then decided: "Remember the merits for those brothers who died in battle, and the pensions will be doubled. If there are males in the family, they will be allowed to inherit. Those who are injured in battle and can continue to work, they will be given pensions and rewards, and they will be kept in charge. Those who cannot serve will be asked to go home. During their lifetime, they will have half a month salary until their death."
Upon hearing this arrangement, Hou Zhiwang suddenly stood up and knelt down to Zhao Xing: "I thanked the great kindness of the emperor on behalf of the soldiers. If this order is issued, the soldiers of the entire Jinyiwei system will be more heart-to-heart and braver."
What Zhao Xing wanted was this effect. He wanted to build the Jinyiwei into a team that not only can arrest people and investigate, but also dare to fight.
He pulled Hou Zhiwang up and asked in a deep voice: "Can you kill the official?"
Hou Zhiwang nodded: "Kill a prefect, seventeen seventh and eighth rank officials, and three border troops guards."
Zhao Xing smiled relaxedly: "Not many, not many, but fortunately, no one was killed." Then he turned to Hong Chengchou and said: "This time, you have created so many vacancy for you, you can select smart and capable people and help you implement policies."
Hong Chengchou nodded in pain, but did not say thank you. This is not worth thanking.
"It is said that the wealthy families of the eight families can make up hundreds of millions of taels of silver at once as long as they do one thing together. Our gains must be quite large this time. Tell me, how much money did we get?" This is what Zhao Xing is most concerned about. Eliminating traitors for the country is one thing, and making money for the country is also the top priority. As long as you have this huge amount of money, you can at least rebuild Dongjiang Town, do business in Dongjiang Town, and build factories.
The steel mill in his mind was established in Dongjiang Town because it was close to the best mines in North Korea. With the steel mill in his mind, he could build his own planned gun factory and arm Dongjiang Town inside, so that they could become the real full firearm battalion of the Ming Dynasty, and they could sell arms and firearms to North Korea, Japan, all those who had wars, or even if there was no war now, they would definitely be allowed to fight in the future.
At the same time, we must rely on the North Korean copper mine, which is the number one in Asia and the third in the world, build mints, let money make money, and use these factories to resettle refugees and feed Dongjiang Town.
The reason why these medicines set up these key factories in Dongjiang Town is that he is alone overseas and will not be missed by the officials and bastards of the Ming Dynasty, and will become his own factories and his future strength.
All of these require a lot of money.
At the same time, it can also make enough money for the poor Chongzhen for three to five years, not only for loyalty, but also for the later Liao pay, training pay, and suppression pay were destroyed. In this way, the people of the world can slowly work and cause fewer reasons for large-scale civil unrest.
