Chapter 830
Accompanied by Zhu Xieyuan's troops, Xu Jianqiang entered Luoyang City overnight. After entering Luoyang City, he immediately ordered the army to block the city gates on all sides, and then led his elite subordinates to enter the Fu Palace in a mighty manner.
Xu Jianqiang announced the imperial edict in public and announced the charges of King Fu. After announcing his charges, he immediately blocked the entire King Fu City and seized all the people inside. Then Zhu Xieyuan sent his elite officers and soldiers to count the property inside.
When Zhu Xieyuan entered the account room of Prince Fu's Mansion, opened the account book and saw the amazing inventory data on it, he was shocked.
He was already shocked when he saw these data. When he walked into the inner treasury of Prince Fu's Mansion and saw mountains of gold, silver and treasures piled up in it, as well as mountains of grain in the granary, he was so shocked that he dared not speak.
It can be said that Zhu Xieyuan has lived for seventy years, but he has never seen so many gold, silver and treasures, and so much grain piled up together. With these grains, what is it difficult to recruit a army of 300,000? What is it difficult to support millions of people?
This also made Zhu Xieyuan very angry and heartbroken. These vassal kings had become the blood-sucking lees of the Ming Dynasty and the fatal disease of the Ming Dynasty. So much wealth was concentrated on them, but they could not produce any benefits for the Ming Dynasty.
Emperor Taizu had a very good idea back then, that was, the children of the royal family guarded the places separately. When there was something wrong with the Ming Dynasty, they stood up to defend the Ming Dynasty.
But when the Ming Dynasty was in trouble, several vassal kings were willing to donate money and grain to reward the army, and refused to let them donate money and grain, let alone let them lead their troops to fight and charge into battle.
Of course, the current political climate of the Ming Dynasty did not allow these vassal kings to lead troops to fight and charge. All they had to do was to enjoy wealth and give birth to children with concentration.
Zhu Xieyuan also sighed that a Fu Palace has gained so many amazing treasures. The Chinese army has copied Shandong's more established vassal palaces such as King De, King Lu, King Xiang, and King Shu. They should have obtained more wealth, even more amazing, right?
When he was counting money and food in the Fu Palace, he also received news that made him very sad and very indignant. This was when he heard the news that Chengdu was captured, Chengdu was captured, the whole family of Shu was buried in Sichuan, and the Sichuan Xuancheng Administrator of the Ming Dynasty was finished.
The capture of Sichuan by the Chinese Empire means that the last place of food taxation in the Ming Dynasty was lost. It also means that the Chinese army has a place of food taxation in rich food taxation, and also gained extremely amazing wealth because of the search of the Shu Palace.
Zhu Xieyuan was sure that the money and food in the Shu Palace were only more and less than that of King Fu. The money and food he received were already crazy. It was not difficult to support half of Henan. China received more money. I wonder what would happen to them? I guess they could raise hundreds of thousands of troops again, right?
This is ironic. The establishment of the Ming Dynasty's feudal system actually became one of the factors that ended up being the demise of the Ming Dynasty.
Xu Jianqiang saw that there were so many treasures and so much money and food in the Fu Palace, which was enough for the army to need, which made him feel relieved.
Xu Jianqiang is not like other eunuchs. The second eunuchs were cut off and could not play with women. He felt that life had no meaning anymore. So besides making money, there was nothing more pleasant than making money.
But Xu Jianqiang is different. He values power and regards money as dirt. In Xu Jianqiang's eyes, as long as Liu Yuanqiao is unhappy, as long as he does something that hurts the Chinese Empire, he can get pleasure and make him very happy. He even feels that when he does these things, it is even more exciting than when he was in a relationship with women before.
And Xu Jianqiang was also sure that if he handed over the money and grain to other officials of the Ming Dynasty, he would probably be swallowed by them and drifted away by them. They would use iron-like facts to prove that King Fu did not have money and food and salary.
In the end, so much treasure and food here will fall into the hands of these corrupt officials, and they will buy beautiful women from the land and houses, indulge in pleasure, and it is hard to say who will be cheaper in the end.
But if he handed over the money and grain to Zhu Xieyuan, he would be very relieved. He knew that Zhu Xieyuan would use this money and grain very properly and use it on the blade. So when he counted King Fu's charges, demoted their family to the prince, and moved to another county prince's mansion, Xu Jianqiang bid farewell to Zhu Xieyuan.
Zhu Xieyuan used to dislike Xu Jianqiang. This was not because he disliked Xu Jianqiang, but because he disliked all the eunuchs. But when it came to this day, Zhu Xieyuan expressed his greatest respect to Xu Jianqiang. He said that he was brother Xu. It was thirty years apart, but they were not called brothers.
Zhu Xieyuan thought that even if Xu Jianqiang copied the Fu Palace, he was preparing food and money for Zhu Xieyuan's army, and Xu Jianqiang, the person in charge of this matter, would definitely share the benefits. According to the rules, he scored at least half of the points. Zhu Xieyuan was very heartbroken when he thought of so much property and lost half of the points.
But Zhu Xieyuan understood that the emperor was standing behind the other party, which represented the interests of the emperor today. If he insisted on taking half of it, Zhu Xieyuan would not be able to stop him.
Who knew that Xu Jianqiang did not ask for half of it, or even wanted it. In the end, he asked for a sum of silver, which was also used to reward his subordinates, so that his subordinates could have a sum of silver, which was considered Cheng Yi who came to this trip.
Xu Jianqiang was still wearing the same python robe, and then he floated away with his sleeves with his breeze.
This made Zhu Xieyuan sigh. If every eunuch looked like Xu Jianqiang, the Ming Dynasty would be saved.
Zhu Xieyuan began to be grateful to Xu Jianqiang, and began to know why the emperor valued Xu Jianqiang in an extraordinary way. He would be assured that he would do so many things and also let him be the prince's tutor. Zhu Xieyuan was thinking that Xu Jianqiang should teach the prince and let him learn this method.
The Ming Dynasty is now at a time when the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed. The war is in chaos and the world is in panic. Even the imperial court has not had a good life. As such a difficult time, as the future leader of the Ming Empire, what he wants to learn is not the collection of poetry and scriptures, but the way for students to survive.
Of course, Xu Jianqiang rushed back to Beijing so quickly because the emperor repeatedly sent special envoys to ask him to go back with the gold medal.
Xu Jianqiang was the person trusted by Emperor Chongzhen, and Zhu Xieyuan also reluctantly gained the trust of Emperor Chongzhen, although they were defeated under Yiling and retreated to Nanyang.
However, Emperor Chongzhen knew Zhu Xieyuan very well and understood Zhu Xieyuan's ability. His temporary defeat does not mean his lifetime defeat. Zhu Xieyuan is a rare veteran in the Ming Dynasty. He is a loyal and loyal veteran. If he doesn't need such a person, who else can he use?
In the country's in distress, Emperor Chongzhen also issued decrees one after another, summoned a large number of civil and military officials who had been demoted by him before, hoping that these talented and prestigious people would come out again to serve the Ming Dynasty.
Among the re-summoned personnel, Emperor Chongzhen most wanted to call the former Minister of War Sun Chengzong. Sun Chengzong once served as Minister of War in the Tianqi Dynasty and the current dynasty. He did a lot of major things and was famous in the world's imperial army.
However, in the fourth year of Chongzhen, Sun Chengzong inspected Songshan, Jinzhou and others, and wrote a letter to Zhu Youjian's political affairs inside and outside the pass. Zhu Youjian adopted all the affairs, and he also added Sun Chengzong's Grand Tutor, and also received the title of Shangshu. His descendants inherited the Shangbao Sicheng and rewarded python coin.
In July of the same year, because Gao Di had withdrawn the Ningjin defense line, Youtun, Dalinghe and other cities were destroyed, Sun Chengzong sent people to rebuild it, but soon after, Jiannu suddenly came to siege. Sun Chengzong rushed to Jinzhou and sent Wu Xiang and Song Wei to rescue. The Liaodong Governor Qiu Hejia changed the date of his troops many times, resulting in Wu Xiang and Song Wei being defeated by the Qing army in Changshan.
In October, Zu Dashou surrendered, and Daling River was damaged as soon as it was repaired. The ministers in the court blamed Sun Chengzong for failing to restore the old city and insulting the country. Sun Chengzong then resigned because he was sick, and then Sun Chengzong returned to his hometown to live in Gaoyang City.
Logically speaking, old ministers like Sun Chengzong have held power twice and have been demoted twice. They will no longer be appointed or recruited. However, the Ming Dynasty now has no choice but to end the road. It is because the emperor personally wrote a letter to Sun Chengzong, and asked him to come out again.
Sun Chengzong was the teacher of Emperor Tianqi, a famous minister of a generation. He had a high prestige in the court and the country. If this old minister could come out, he could greatly enhance the strength of the court. The Ming Dynasty is now very deadly. This is to have no soldiers, good generals and no good generals. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen tried every means to enhance his strength.
It was also because Emperor Chongzhen noticed the crisis that after the first confidant general Xu Jianqiang accomplished the major event in Luoyang, he immediately recalled him and asked him to give advice around him.
Although Xu Jianqiang was not very talented and did not come from a Jinshi, he had outstanding abilities and had very good vision. After becoming an official, he did a lot of major things and solved many problems for the emperor.
In fact, Emperor Chongzhen wanted such ministers. He even thought that if he had more people like Xu Jianqiang and Wang Chengen around him, the Ming Dynasty would never have been as desperate as today.
It is precisely because of this that Emperor Chongzhen felt that there was no one around him and was very lonely, so he recalled Xu Jianqiang by his side overnight. First, he allowed him to play a greater role and continued to teach his princes.
