In the first month of the tenth year of Chongzhen, there was great joy in Zhangbei, because the Dudu Mansion recently issued a notice to merge the original northwest Shaanxi and western Mongolian grassland Oara territory into northern Shanxi, and the Dudu Mansion encouraged the people of northern Shanxi to do business in the Western Regions, as long as they went to the Western Regions
In terms of trade, the Northern Shanxi Army is not only responsible for the safety of goods, but the tax will also be halved. For the people of Northern Shanxi and even the merchants of the entire Ming Dynasty, the halved tax is a great temptation. The reason why merchants of the Ming Dynasty sometimes lose money is
We are stuck with this commercial tax. As soon as the commercial tax announcement of the Dudu Mansion came out, it can be said that it painted a wonderful pie for merchants all over the world. In addition, the Iron Governor will marry Princess Wala on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. It is simply a double happiness.
.
Reducing business taxes was actually the idea of Madam Zhu. After several years of development, although business in northern Shanxi has become prosperous, the northwest area is still very closed and poor. In addition, the business tax is heavy, and no one is willing to do business. Chang Min
Yu has long had the idea of lowering business taxes to encourage private trade, but the northwest was not under the control of the Northern Shanxi Army before, so no matter how good the idea was, it could only be shelved. Now, with the opening of the Northern Shanxi Grand Canal, the Western Region is becoming increasingly stable.
, it is also time to reduce business taxes.
With the New Year, the Governor's Office will announce and implement policies to benefit the people. It can be said that these policies will make northern Shanxi more active in the future. Chang'an in front of us already has a vague feeling of the prosperous Han and Tang Dynasties.
In winter, there are food merchants wearing thick cloth hats on the streets, and there are also Tibetan merchants in strange clothes. In short, in Zhangbei City, you can see merchants from various countries in the Western Regions anytime and anywhere, and the people in northern Shanxi are also familiar with them.
These bearded people are used to it.
There is a prosperous scene in northern Shanxi. Tiemo visited the university hall of northern Shanxi and went to the 12th Camp of Beiya. Life was quite good. Far away in the capital, it was far less warm than Zhangbei. On the fifth day of the first lunar month, as usual, Zhu
Youjian once again hosted a banquet for the ministers in the imperial garden. However, this year was different from previous years. The atmosphere of the banquet was obviously a bit deserted. Why? Because Du Lenghong was ready to make a move, Zhao Shujiao, the commander-in-chief of Jizhou, kept making urgent reports and complaining. It can be said that people in the northern part of Jizhou were panicked.
The people who could run all ran to the north or south of Shanxi. How happy would those who were celebrating the Chinese New Year be to hear this news? The power of Dorgon in Liaodong was becoming more and more stable. There was no shortage of smart people in the Ming Dynasty. They knew that Dorgon's power was not stable.
Good thing, maybe the Jurchen Tatars will ride south tomorrow.
Zhu Ziyan dealt with it for a while and then left quietly. She was still a little uncomfortable with such lively occasions. Sitting in the pavilion, the cold wind passed over her cheeks, biting the bone. Looking at the frozen lake, she sighed silently.
, the petite mouth pursed, revealing a bit of bitterness, this year Manyyun Lake is rarely frozen, which is rare in previous years. At least, this is the first time since I can remember that I have seen Manyun Lake freeze.
The thin layer of ice was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting clear figures. Looking at my own face, I somehow remembered the people who had passed away.
Just the day after the banquet in the Royal Garden, Zhu Ziyan welcomed a guest. Late at night, the man was wrapped in darkness and dressed in such a weird way. The only one in the world who was the master of the Maitreya Sect
Speaking carefully, Zhu Ziyan is no stranger to the Maitreya Cult. She had come into contact with the Maitreya Cult when she followed Tiemo to annihilate Liangshan. In Zhu Ziyan's impression, the people from the Maitreya Cult should have arrived long ago, because the Maitreya Cult has spent so much money
After going through so much trouble and creating a conspiracy of such a scale, will she, Zhu Ziyan, be left alone?
Finally, the people from the Maitreya Sect came, and it was the man in black robe who came. Under the cold moonlight, the man in black robe stood at the window, stroking the edge of the window with one hand, "Princess, how are you feeling recently?"
"Are you the leader? I thought you would come a long time ago, but I didn't expect that you have endured it until now!" Zhu Ziyan's words were full of sarcasm, but the man in black robe did not react at all. It seemed that these sarcastic words were addressed to others.
The same.
Zhu Ziyan could also guess what the man in black robe wanted to do. He just wanted to use Chai to achieve some purpose. The man in black robe looked unusually quiet. He leaned against the window and opened the window a crack, and then the cold wind blew in.
, "Princess Princess, Mr. Tie killed His Highness. I think the Princess also wanted to kill Mr. Tie for revenge. How about cooperating with me?"
Zhu Ziyan thought that was indeed the case. She remained calm and glanced out of the corner of her eyes, "Do you think this princess will cooperate with you? After all, my father was also killed by you. Hum, I want revenge.
This princess has her own way of dealing with Tie Mo, so she doesn’t need the help of you hidden people, the Maitreya Cult? They are just a group of sneaky idiots who dare not do things openly."
After hearing Zhu Ziyan's words, the man in black robe was slightly startled, his shoulders trembled slightly, he was obviously a little angry, "Princess? Are you not afraid when you say that? At such a close range, I have hundreds of ways to kill the princess."
.Haha, Princess, you might as well think about it carefully. With your current situation, it is not easy to hold on, and you have to deal with Mr. Tie, so why not consider my suggestion?"
The man in black robe spoke hoarsely and lowly, as if vomited by someone who was about to die. Facing the threat of the man in black robe, Zhu Ziyan remained indifferent, "Is there any difference between Maitreya Cult and Tie Mo? If possible, I would like to see it.
Look how dog bites dog!”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a soft sound outside the door, and the man in black robe was suddenly shocked. As expected by the man in black robe, it turned out to be men from Jin Yiwei and men from the Maitreya Sect fighting together. The man in black robe couldn't help but feel
Frowning, he really underestimated Zhu Youjian. This incompetent emperor could always create some unexpected surprises sometimes.
The undercurrent in the capital was surging, and all this seemed to have no impact on Dorgon in Liaodong. Ever since he occupied Huining Mansion and killed Amin, he had been immersed in wiping out the dissatisfied tribes. After nearly two months, those who supported Amin
The stubborn tribe was completely defeated, and as time went by, Dorgon's position became more and more stable.
However, this period of time is not only happy. In the middle of last month, Woller's troops left Zhenhai Mansion and captured Suzhou and Lushun southward. This Suzhou is not the Suzhou in the Suzhou-Hangzhou Paradise. This place is located in
Between Lushun and Zhenhai Prefecture, the capture of Suzhou means that there is no obstacle to the south of Zhenhai Prefecture. Some food and supplies can be continuously transported to Zhenhai Prefecture via Lushun and Suzhou.
Woller's attack was too fast. Dorgon knew that if things continued like this, it would only do him harm but no good, but he was struggling to pacify the interior and could not take care of it. At the end of last year, the southern barbarians all surrendered to Zhenhai Mansion. Now Wo Leer
Leer's power expanded rapidly. The southern barbarians and the Jurchens were of the same ancestry. The southern barbarians originated from Lishui Mohe in the Tang Dynasty, while the Jurchens originated from Heishui Mohe of the Shiwei lineage. Although after the vicissitudes of time, Lishui
The power of Mohe has long been weakened, but now there are still three tribes of Lishui Mohe, with no less than 200,000 tribesmen, and more than 10,000 warriors. Did Woller have a total of 10,000 troops before? Now there are so many more at once
Man, isn't it like a young bird growing hard wings?
No matter what Dorgon thinks, Woller will never stop moving forward, because once he stops, he will be swallowed up by others at any time. What he has to do now is to look around while Tie Mo has no time.
When Dorgon was busy pacifying the northern tribes, he made himself as big as possible in order to be able to protect himself in the future. Conquering the Lishui Mohe was Woller's first step, and being able to conquer the southern barbarians was also due to food.
, although the southern barbarians belong to the Jin Kingdom, their status has never been very good. The Jurchens organized the young and strong southern barbarians into an army. They were often at the forefront during wars, but they received the lightest rewards after the war.
The southern barbarians were already dissatisfied with the Jin people, not to mention the severe famine in Liaodong. Woller only sent a sum of grain and promised huge profits, so the southern barbarians chose to submit to Zhenhai Mansion.
With the surrender of the southern barbarians, Woller successfully took control of Laiyuan and Dingzhou in the southernmost part of Liaodong, and since then opened the door to North Korea. On the ninth day of the first lunar month, Woller ordered Bao BuTong to receive two thousand
The soldiers and horses, together with the barbarian commander Suhe, broke into Wonsan Castle on the border of North Korea and broke through the Taedong River, the mother river of northern North Korea, in just one day.
It is said that the Datong River crosses several major cities in northern North Korea. Xichuan and Pyongyang are both within the scope of the Datong River. The geographical location is very important. The Koreans have always stationed troops in Xichuan City, but now there is a famine in North Korea and the sea wind is raging. The people in the country are living in dire straits.
, in order to grab food, major city lord families in North Korea competed for power. Now Xichuan City was undefended, and Datong River City was left open to anyone to cross. Speaking of which, the Koreans themselves were careless, thinking that the Jurchens were in civil strife and the Song people were weak and merciful.
, will not take the initiative to attack North Korea, but they have forgotten about Woller who appeared for nothing. Waiting until Wonsan Castle is reached, the North Koreans' attempt to recapture the Daedong River is nothing more than a dream.
After occupying the Datong River, Woller waved the banner of food and quickly gathered a group of Korean people, and his power expanded rapidly.
On the second day of February in the tenth year of Chongzhen, Woller rose rapidly in Zhenhai Prefecture, Liaodong, and his power swept across the southeastern end of Liaoning and northern Korea. He claimed that the country was named "Dayuan" and was known as Houyuan in history.
Woller's rise was so fast, not to mention Dorgon, even Tiemo himself did not expect it. But that's fine. With Woller tossing around in Liaodong, Dorgon would have a headache. Of course, the Koreans
They were also a group of cowards, but Woller easily captured Wonsan Castle and conquered the Datong River.
Spring began in February, and there was some new greenery in the governor's mansion. Nunu climbed to the top of the tree, holding a rope in his hand, because the kite could fly high in this way.
No one in the palace wants to take care of this little lunatic Nunu. The Iron Governor is a deviant person and has always despised etiquette. Therefore, Hai Lanzhu always laughed and called the Governor "Tie Lao Wei" and Nunu "
"Iron little monster", expecting these two evil people to abide by the rules is purely asking for trouble. After the beginning of spring, the big willow tree still looked bare. Nunu was pulling on the rope and chewing nuts in his little mouth.
"Supervisor... Supervisor... look, look... flying so high..."
Tie Mo sat under the big willow tree, looking at the "Luo Zhi Jing" he had collected from Chang Minyue. Hearing Nunu's surprise from above, Tie Mo didn't answer. Chang Minyue entered the courtyard holding a fruit plate.
, before she could stand still, she heard Nunu shouting from the tree. She frowned slightly and curled her lips without any trace, "Hey, my husband dotes on Nunu like this, making this girl become more and more wild, "Nu
Nu, be careful, it won't be fun if you fall and scratch your face."
Nunu was no longer a child, and was still very fond of faces. After hearing Chang Minyue's joke, she instinctively hugged the tree trunk and touched her cheeks, and then made a face at the two people under the tree. Tie Mo happened to raise his head
At first, looking at this angelic and cute girl, I couldn't help but be stunned. I saved a skinny and dry child from the bandits back then, and now she looks so slender. "Okay, come down quickly."
, eat some fruits, act like a monkey, let Sister Zhuer know, it’s time to catch you and teach you.”
If Nunu was afraid of anyone, it was Hai Lanzhu. Hai Lanzhu would not beat or scold Nunu when he caught her, but would just tell her about the palace rules and some female training in the room. Anyway, Nunu listened to those things.
It was more uncomfortable than hitting a few boards. I wrapped the kite string around the tree trunk and slid down the tree. I ran to the stone table and reached out to grab the fruits on the plate. Chang Minyue was young.
Feigning anger, he stretched out his hand and hit her, "Damn girl, go wash your hands first. You're not young anymore, and you still look like a baby."
Nunu didn't care. When Nian Nuer stopped her hand, she quickly grabbed a few fruits and turned around and ran away. Looking at Nunu's back, Chang Minyue put her hand on her forehead with a wry smile on her face. The Iron Superintendent was also grinning.
Hehehe laughed, Chang Minyue pursed her lips and stretched out her hand to knock, "Look at how you got used to it. You don't follow any rules anymore. You are even wilder than a wild boy."
He took Chang Minyue into his arms, narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "When did you feel happy to vent your anger with that girl? Tell me, have you got any news?"
Chang Minyue could hide the tricks she played from Nunu, but she couldn't hide them from Tiemo. She deliberately sent Nunu away, presumably because she had something to say. As expected, Chang Minyue scratched the man's neck with her little hand and giggled, "
My husband is just so smart, but it’s actually nothing serious. I just got the news that Dorgon has returned to Daning recently, and your good friend Woller seems to have reached a friendly agreement with the North Koreans."
After listening to Chang Minyue's words, Tie Mo frowned and patted the beauty's thigh gently, "Nonsense, is this a trivial matter? What the hell is Dorgon doing? If he ran to Daning at this time, he wouldn't be afraid of Wo.
Leer stabbed him in the back?"
According to normal circumstances, Dorgon should be careful to stay in Huining Mansion now. After all, the situation has just stabilized, and Woller is causing trouble in southern Liaoning. There is not even a peaceful day, but Dorgon
Why did Gun go to Daning? There must be monsters when something goes wrong, especially for a person like Dorgon who has no profit and can't afford to be early. Tie Mo instinctively became alert. Could it be that Dorgon had planned to go south in advance?
Thoughts? But he is not worried about Worrell?
No, something must have happened, but he didn't know it yet.
