The door fell down, and a group of people in ragged clothes stumbled out of the door.
These people were barely clothed, their bodies were scorched black, they were in a state of despair and were like walking zombies.
Ah! Ah! Woo! Yeah! I don’t know what to scream. It’s obvious that my mind is a little abnormal. It’s obvious that the power of the heartless cannon just now was too terrifying, and it scared these people crazy.
No one went to kill them, just watching these insane people rolling and crawling away.
Zhang Shize waved his hand, and Man Gui immediately rushed into Jinong's mansion with his personal camp. At this time, there was no need to fight. With such a scale of bombing, even if the people inside were not dead, they had lost the courage to resist.
Obviously Zhang Shize gave Man Gui a chance to make a meritorious service. Capturing the fortune-telling rabbit alive was a great achievement.
Zhang Shize is very good at winning over people. If Man Gui voted for him, there would be immediate benefits.
Mangui's face was red with excitement. He was from a grassroots background and had never had any strong backers. This time, it was a blessing in disguise that he had the support of the British government. He was gearing up to perform well.
He didn't expect the benefits to arrive so soon, and he was so happy that he almost wanted to scratch his head.
Look, this is an old noble, and he is generous in his actions. I have been living in vain for more than thirty years. Today I have found Mr. Ming.
Man Gui and others rushed into the Jinong Mansion, and the other three general soldiers' eyes turned red with envy. They all cursed in their hearts that this black guy was lucky. He was from a Tatar, and he was always willing to show shame. This was Zhang.
The young man feels comfortable taking pictures.
Man Gui is born with the image of a bad slave. He is a good material not only as a general soldier, but also as a thug.
Man Gui took a look into the yard and gasped. There were mansions here and there. Outside the burning wooden building, there were explosion craters everywhere. There were many broken limbs and injured people who were still alive.
Still moaning.
"Search for me, and I'll definitely find the lost rabbit." Man Gui roared fiercely with his face trembling.
His personal barracks all had the same stuff as him, and they all followed the evil route. They immediately started searching everywhere.
Not long after, cheers came from the backyard garden, and Mangui hurried over. It turned out that there was a cellar under the rockery, and the whole thing was made of stone.
"Come out quickly, otherwise we will throw poisonous fireballs." Baihu Changwei shouted loudly.
With a whoosh, a hand-held crossbow arrow shot out from the exit under the cover and flew past Chang Wei's cheek. Chang Wei jumped up in fright.
"His grandma, Bu Shitu, you old boy will not die until you reach the Yellow River. Throw fireworks at me." Chang Wei was angry. He was so scary, but they were not afraid. It is really unreasonable.
More than a dozen fireworks bombs were thrown down, and a burst of bang-bang explosions could be heard.
Chang Wei immediately covered the cover and asked the soldiers to shovel the soil to cover the cover.
It was like a pot was exploding inside, and there was chaos. There were violent coughs and the cries of women and children.
Soon the people inside couldn't stand it anymore. This kind of poisonous smoke was unbearable. The people below began to smash the cover from the inside.
Chang Wei looked at it and opened the cover directly.
Everyone inside rushed out in a swarm. After running more than a dozen steps, they fell to the ground, coughing, and breathing in fresh air.
At this time, they also lost the will to resist. Until an old man in his sixties wearing a gold-embroidered grandson's uniform was pulled out. Mangui knew that this was Jinong himself.
What he didn't expect was that there were more than a dozen Tai Ji and their family members in this huge underground space. Now they were all prisoners.
In the West Nuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, Chongzhen frowned and looked gloomy.
Things were not going well for the Qing army.
Now, without Duke Wei, the true financial situation of the Ming Dynasty was immediately exposed. Now the Ming Dynasty must reduce expenditures, otherwise the government will go bankrupt. Now both officials and soldiers have been in arrears in salary and salary arrears. Some have even already It's been two years in arrears.
I really don’t know what the people below are doing for a living. The emperor was very worried. He knew that it was not a good thing to go without salary for a long time. If this continued, big trouble would happen.
Now, he has asked the Donglin cabinet several times to talk about tax increases, but to no avail. Li Biao and others have many reasons. In short, now is not the time. After all, Wei Zhongxian has just been pushed to the throne and all his tricks have been abolished. Now he has turned around. If you want to show your face, you have to enact new taxes. Isn’t this a slap in the face?
Since we can't open source, we can only reduce expenditures.
The largest current financial expenditure is military expenditure, which is also one of the emperor's motives for agreeing to the Qing army. At present, Li Banghua, the Minister of War, takes the lead and has become the leading organization of the Qing army. He sits in Wuying Hall and coordinates the Qing army's actions.
Li Banghua decided to first operate on Jizhen, the largest town in the world. It is at the foot of the emperor, so it is easy to control, and problems can be dealt with in time. Li Banghua first went to Wang Yingzhi, the governor of Shuntian, to get a thorough understanding of the situation in Jizhen.
The boundaries of Ji Town and Shuntian Prefecture somewhat overlap. Shuntian Prefecture was established in the capital, which was responsible for managing Daxing and Wanping counties within the city walls of the capital, which is roughly equivalent to today's Dongcheng District and Xicheng District.
Outside the city walls of the capital, there are dozens of prefectures and counties. In order to strengthen the management of the capital, the Shuntian Governor was established in Zunhua to manage all other areas of Shuntian Prefecture except the capital. Yongping Prefecture is sometimes under the jurisdiction of the Shuntian Governor, and sometimes Independent from the outside.
Wang Yingzhi felt uneasy about Li Banghua's inquiry. He came up by flattering Duke Wei, but he was promoted too quickly and his foundation was unstable. Wang Yingzhi, named Huiwen, was from Yexian. In 1622, the second year of Tianqi, he was awarded the title of Jinshi and was appointed as the head of the household department. , because he flattered Wei Zhongxian, he was promoted to governor of Shuntian in just three years, and was appointed censor of Youdu.
However, this man hedged his bets and made a lot of trouble against King Xin's faction. As a result, he actually escaped the purge storm in the first year of Chongzhen. Now he is still firmly seated as governor of Shuntian.
He was opposed to any Qing army from the bottom of his heart. He had enough to eat and had nothing to do. He just wanted to be an official and get through this sensitive period safely.
However, he didn't dare to object, because he knew that Dong Lin couldn't find any faults if he tried to find fault with him. If he dared to object, wouldn't he be giving pillows to people for their naps?
Governor Yuan has always wanted to remove the last eunuch from Jizhen and replace him with his own. At this moment, he did not dare to object. But he is a sensible person and clearly knows that Donglin and his gang cannot accomplish this.
, something is bound to happen.
Because it is very simple. Jiubian's military expenditure of one million taels a year and Tianqi Dynasty's military expenditure were in arrears for more than six months, and for as long as two years. Originally, everyone was waiting for Chongzhen to reissue it after he came to power.
.But now it has been two years since Chongzhen, and there is no Mao.
Wang Yingzhi knew exactly why Chongzhen could not pay for military expenses. This reason was purely caused by Chongzhen himself.
