Chapter 395 Donate the Manchu defense map to beg for life!
After hearing Zhu Cixiang's words, Zhu Mian looked thoughtful.
His Royal Highness is preparing to kill the donkey!
It has to be said that His Highness the Crown Prince’s decision to do this is indeed a choice to maximize interests, but if he really kills the donkey, it would be too.........losing his own face??
After all, killing heroes has not been a good thing in all dynasties.
But since His Highness the Crown Prince himself doesn't feel anything, Zhu Yi has nothing to say. After all, this is related to His Highness the Crown Prince himself.
It is indeed a good thing for the world!
Perhaps seeing the change in Zhu Yi's expression, Zhu Cixiang smiled slightly.
"It's just that rewards and punishments are clear. If you make a mistake, you will be punished. If you make a contribution, you will be rewarded! If these eight families really accomplished something extraordinary and their merits and demerits can be slightly offset, at most they will be confiscating their homes, but they can avoid death.
!”
Zhu Cixiang said to Zhu Yi who was looking in front of him.
After hearing Zhu Cixi's words, Zhu Yi had a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"Okay, just follow my approval! Also, not only do I need the defense map of the Qing army, I also need the location of their armory, and then all the shops of Shanxi merchants in each city need to be for my use!
Once I start to attack the city, all the guards in these shops must obey the orders of the Blood Scale Society! Otherwise, let's get these things out!
I believe that the Manchu Qing Dynasty and Li Zicheng will definitely give us a good explanation by then!"
Zhu Cixiang looked at Zhu Yi in front of him with a smile on his face and said.
"Yes! Your Highness!"
Zhu nodded. His Highness's words were basically fine. Considering the power of Shanxi merchants, if they could serve as the leading party, it would indeed be of great help to the Northern Expedition!
"Okay, go ahead and make arrangements!"
Zhu nodded and quickly made arrangements to leave for the capital overnight.
Zhu Er and Xu Xing in the capital quickly received Zhu Cihong's approval.
"It seems that His Highness the Crown Prince wants to drain the blood of the eight Shanxi merchant families for the last time!"
There was emotion in Xu Xing's eyes.
"His Royal Highness is so worthy of being a hero!"
"right!"
Zhu Er nodded.
"Since His Highness the Crown Prince has said so, then our plan needs to be slightly changed!"
Xu Xing looked at Zhu Er in front of him and said.
Their plan before was aimed at killing Shanxi merchants. Now that Shanxi merchants are so sensible and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also intends to take advantage of Shanxi merchants, they cannot follow the previous steps.
"kindness!"
"Then just stay put for now! Wait and see what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's arrangements are. By the way, I'd like to inform Song Yi, don't make trouble for Shanxi merchants for the time being!"
"kindness!"
………………
Now that the direction has been determined.
Shanxi merchants acted very quickly.
Qingzhou, Prince's Mansion.
Wang Dayu knelt respectfully in front of Zhu Cihong's table, not daring to raise his head to look at Zhu Cihong in front of him.
At this time, Zhu Cixi smiled slightly and looked at Wang Dayu in front of him.
"What? Now at this time, I finally remembered that I am still the prince of the Ming Dynasty??"
Zhu Cixiang looked at Wang Dayu in front of him with a sneer in his eyes.
"Your Highness, merchants like us always have to do some unavoidable things in order to make some money and need to circulate goods..."
"I had no choice but to betray my ancestors and seek refuge with the Manchus???"
Zhu Cixiang slammed the book in his hand in front of Wang Dayu.
"Shanxi merchants! For the sake of profit, they will do whatever it takes! This kind of behavior has long caused the anger of the world! Now that the behavior will finally be exposed to the world, it is now time to ask me to beg you???"
Zhu Cixiang looked at Wang Dayu in front of him with a sneer.
Hearing the words of His Highness the Crown Prince, Wang Dayu's expression changed, but he still lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, Shanxi merchants have indeed committed a heinous crime. I hope that His Highness will give Shanxi merchants a chance to make amends. We are willing to dedicate a full amount of money."
Clear the defense map for hope of survival!"
"Not enough!"
Hearing Wang Dayu's words, Zhu Cixiang smiled slightly, and his eyes flashed when he looked at Wang Dayu in front of him.
"I want to make the Northern Expedition, and all Shanxi merchants must cooperate. Whenever we attack towns, Shanxi merchants' guards must cooperate with our spies!"
Zhu Cixiang's words made Wang Dayu's expression suddenly change.
"But if this is the case and the city cannot be captured, then the Shanxi merchants may still be killed by the Manchus..."
There was hesitation in Wang Dayu's eyes.
Whether it is presenting defense plans or giving a large amount of money as support, these things can be done secretly, and it will be difficult for Dorgon and others to detect it, or they may even not know about it at all.
But being a leader is very risky!
If the Shanxi merchants really led the way and the city was not captured, or some retreating Qing soldiers saw the Shanxi merchants' actions, they would report it to Dorgon.
This kind of thing cannot be explained at all!
When the time comes, the yellow mud will really fall into the crotch, and it will be either feces or feces!
What's more, Shanxi merchants originally had evil intentions in their hearts.
"Then you can bet!"
Zhu Cixiang looked at Wang Dayu in front of him with a smile in his eyes. If the Manchus and the intruders knew that you came to us with a defense plan, what would they think?
The corners of Zhu Cixiang's mouth raised slightly, and he looked at Wang Dayu in front of him with a gleam in his eyes.
Wang Dayu had a wry smile on his face.
Trouble!
"Don't worry, Shanxi merchants are still valuable. If you help me, I will naturally help you! Otherwise, you have no sincerity at all in doing this!"
"Okay...okay!"
Wang Dayu smiled bitterly and agreed.
There is no way!
The meaning of His Highness the Crown Prince is very clear now. If the eight Shanxi merchant families want to pass the customs here, they must do this, otherwise...
Wang Dayu's eyes were full of bitterness, and he knew it.
That's how it is when dealing with the government and the royal family.
Not to mention that the Shanxi merchants are still the icing on the cake, and the Ming Dynasty is beginning to rapidly and steadily change for the better, visible to the naked eye.
But the Shanxi merchants just didn't take a look and continued in the previous direction.
In fact, Wang Dayu also told Fan Yongdou and others about this matter before.
However, most people think that Ming Dynasty has nothing to invest in and only needs to invest in a few high-ranking officials.
After all, as long as the officials are still there and support a few more, they can be of great help to Shanxi merchants, at least in the Jiangnan region.
Their focus was still on supporting the Manchus.
Unexpectedly, His Highness the Crown Prince could be so powerful!
Moreover, the handle of Shanxi merchants also fell out!
The words of His Highness the Prince are very obvious, and he is also very aware of the actions of Shanxi merchants!
Thinking of this, Wang Dayu sighed.
Shanxi merchants must have lost a lot of things!
If His Highness the Prince had just arrived in Shandong, Shanxi merchants would have started to provide help.
