On February 16, 2018, the night in the capital was still a little cold. However, on the city gate tower of Chaoyangmen, a civil servant wearing a red official robe was walking back and forth. Beside him, a general wearing a helmet and armor also seemed a little restless, and he looked at him from time to time. He opened his mouth, but in the end he could not speak.

"But, I hope everything goes well..."

Gao Guangxian prayed secretly in his heart that despite making up his mind, he could still feel sweating in his palms.

It's really about to get to this point!

In fact, in his heart, he never thought of going to this point. After all, his purpose in the court was nothing more than to support his family's business. He never thought of the chief minister or the minister. But now it is different. If he doesn't do this, he will probably lose everything.

"Jiangling wants to be enemies with the world! First, it is Jiangnan, and next is our salt merchant in Shanxi!"

Why did officials in Jiangnan and other places do their best to oppose Zhang Juzheng? In the final analysis, it was because of his clear land and his recovery and accumulation. The most painful thing was the gentry from all over the world. Perhaps the people in the world also had some arrears. But as we all know, the gentry who led the lead was the relatives of those officials. As for the people, it was just the name of the gentry officials. They encouraged the people to default, encouraged the people to resist taxes, and borrowed the people to put pressure on local officials. In the end, the people paid 80% of them, and at most they were 50%. But now Zhang Jiangling forced them to pay 80% of them, which was equivalent to paying twice as much. How could those people be willing? So they naturally tried every means to resist Zhang Juzheng's reform and tried every means to obstruct his reform.

At that time, he and his fellow countrymen were supporters of Zhang Juzheng's reform.

But why have you reached this point now?

Although he was a little confused before, when Gao Guang first thought of Zhang Juzheng reaching his hand on the salt tax, he understood.

He was born in the Shanxi merchant family and never cared about the tax on land. Shanxi merchants rely on salt. Most of the salt profits of the Ming Dynasty fell into their hands. In comparison, the land was just a drop in the bucket!

In order to get their support, Zhang Juzheng turned a blind eye to the salt method. This naturally made everyone happy to cooperate. But now that Zhang Juzheng wants to reach out here, he cannot accept it no matter what!

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents!

Gao Guangxian did not doubt Zhang Siwei's words. After all, according to his understanding of Zhang Juzheng, he would never turn a blind eye to salt profit. He has always wanted to "open source" for the imperial court, so how could he let go of the salt tax of at least tens of millions of taels per year?

Okay, now he is about to solve the problem of Jiangnan, and the next step is to attack them. Could it be that Mr. Zhang resigned for a long time? It was because of this reason!

Everything was straightened out in Gao Guangxian's heart and connected one by one. When he sighed at Zhang Juzheng's "ruthlessness", he knew that he had been forced to a dead end and had no way out. Backwards, today's Jiangnan Gongs are the ones tomorrow! If they do not take any action, then in the future they will let Zhang Juzheng go fishing like those in Jiangnan.

If everyone joins hands together now, there is still a possibility of winning. If we wait until the future... it will be too late to say anything at that time.

"call……"

Taking a deep breath, Gao Guang first secretly cheered himself up in his heart.

"It's okay, it's okay, this will definitely be done!"

Just when Gao Guang was cheering himself up in his heart, he heard the movement under the city gate and hurriedly leaned out of the city gate. With the light on the city gate, he could vaguely see thousands of troops in the black shadow. These soldiers were brought from the capital city, and then he heard someone shouting.

"Brother Zixiao, why don't you open the door quickly?"

When he saw clearly who the person was coming down the city tower, Gao Guang immediately ordered.

"General Li, open the door, open the city gate quickly!"

"This, this..."

Seeing that Li Deyi was a little hesitant, Gao Guangxian persuaded him again.

"What's this? General Li. If you miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you will regret it for the rest of your life!"

Then he said with a voice.

"General Li, whether it will be successful or not is in the general's mind. Don't forget the 200,000 taels of silver and the promise of the elder. In the future, the new king will be able to treat you badly?"

In order to implement the plan smoothly, they had raised several million taels of silver five days ago. The silver was used to buy these people and reward the officers and soldiers. Of course, in addition to the silver, there were some promises to them.

When you get promoted and get rich, as long as they are willing to participate in it, the so-called kindness of knowing what you want is just a joke.

Perhaps he was convinced by Gao Guang first, he finally nodded and said.

"Forget it, forgot..."

After saying that, he waved his hand and ordered.

"Open the city gate!"

With a command, the closed Chaoyang Gate slowly opened. Almost as soon as the city gate opened, a civil servant led thousands of people into the city gate. When he entered the city gate, he bowed to Gao Guangxian.

"Zi Xiao just wait for my best loss...ah!"

Suddenly, his words stopped. He was in the urn and saw gun barrels stretching out from the surrounding city walls, pointing directly at them.

"Gao Guangxian, you, you..."

Just when he was about to speak, he saw someone else coming on the city wall.

It's Qi Jiguang!

Almost for a moment, he felt dazed, and then he heard Qi Jiguang shouting loudly on the city wall.

"You have listened to the soldiers in the Beijing camp. Our army came to arrest the rebels under the emperor's imperial edict. Now we pass on the emperor's imperial edict. The soldiers listened to the emperor's imperial edict... Today, there are rebel ministers who use you and others to plot against usurp the throne. The soldiers are blinded by them. This is a mistake that they have no intention. As long as they wake up very early, I promise not to investigate the past..."

When the soldiers in the Beijing camp under the city gate heard this, they were stunned for a while, and then someone shouted, and straightened Guan Zuo, who was riding on the horse, got off the horse. After all, even the fool could see that now, as long as they were in the urn, they would all die here if they had any abnormal movements.

Catch turtles in the jar!

That's what it means!

Putting away the imperial edict in his hand, Qi Jiguang stared at Gao Guangxian who had been taken down by the side, looked at his dead gray face, and said coldly.

"Mr. Gao, I wonder what I think when I see this military gate today!"

"How, how is it possible, how is it possible, how are you, why are you coming so quickly, no, impossible..."

Even though everyone was tied up, Gao Guangxian still opened his eyes wide and murmured. He couldn't believe all this at all. Even when he saw Qi Jiguang walking out of the arrow tower, he had only one thought in his mind - hell.

In his opinion, even if Qi Jiguang got the news and rushed to the capital, he would have to wait until the next day, but now he was standing in front of him alive. Suddenly, he turned his eyes on Li Deyi and glared at him and said.

"Okay, Li Deyi, you, how could you treat me like this? Have you forgotten who gave you the dictionary at the beginning?"

It was him who promoted Li Deyi to his current position at the beginning. Although he knew that the so-called kindness of knowing and meeting was just a joke, the other party's betrayal made him really hard to accept.

"It's Your Majesty!"

Li Deyi stared at Gao Guangxian and said righteously.

"The minister and the subordinate are both his ministers. Everything you have given to him is given by the emperor. What are you? I actually asked me to rebel with you. Fortunately, the Holy Emperor is very careful, otherwise you would not be able to be satisfied with your traitors..."

In fact, when he said this, a cold sweat broke out on Li Deyi's back. He clearly remembered how Qi Jiguang suddenly sat in front of him before nightfall. Then he coldly took out a letter from the emperor's hand.

At that moment, Li Deyi knew that everything was over, what was so successful and what was the title of honor in the future. Everything, from the moment he saw Qi Jiguang, he knew that it had turned into a bubble. After all, Qi Jiguang was here, and his Qi family army must have come too...

But no matter what, he never expected that Qi Jiguang only brought a few hundred people over.

In fact, only a few hundred people are enough. In fact, since Qi Jiguang came, Li Deyi had already thought it clearly. Since the matter had been exposed, he would never be able to participate in it anyway. If he insisted on his own, he would definitely die. So he made a choice that was most beneficial to him. That was to stand on the side of the court, not to mention that he was holding the emperor's imperial edict.

Now, these traitors are just stepping stones for their own promotion and wealth. With this matter, it will definitely be fine to promote a general in the town in the future.

"General Li is so loyal that his army will definitely report to the chief minister truthfully. After the matter is over, the court will definitely give the general another reward."

Qi Jiguang looked at the other party with a smile. In fact, he was still worried until now. After all, the people he brought with him were only a few thousand. These people seemed to be quite large, but there were actually only a few hundred people scattered in the capital. If these people resisted stubbornly, a bloody battle would definitely be indispensable.

At least everything went unexpectedly now. Looking at the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp who had already put down their weapons and the dejected civil servants, Qi Jiguang suddenly remembered what the old people often said.

"The scholar rebelled for ten years."

Perhaps this sentence is exactly what happened today.

"General, what should I do next?"

Li Deyi looked at Qi Jiguang and asked.
Chapter completed!
