The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 659 Xuan Tong
Coupled with their current behavior of taking the initiative to pay military expenses for the Manchu Qing Dynasty and collecting local taxes for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it can be seen that the Eight Shanxi Merchants are really determined to be traitors.

As long as they were loyal to Daming back then, they were loyal to Man Qing.

With the financial resources of the eight major families of Shanxi Merchants, as long as the frontier army in Shanxi Town can be fed, it is impossible for Li Zicheng to fight eastward to reach the foot of the capital.

As we all know, it's not that Ming's frontier army can't fight, they're just poor!

As long as the money and food are in place, these frontier soldiers can cut down even Jiannu for him!
Li Zicheng's Chuangjun old battalion, the Green Battalion soldiers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, aren't these people changing their skins?

Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the frontier army of Ming Dynasty must not be considered bad!
Of course, the reason why the Eight Great Masters of Shanxi Merchants stood on the side of the Manchus was not because of how loyal they were to the Manchus.

If they were really the kind of people who would be loyal to the court, they wouldn't have sold Daming back then!

To put it bluntly, it is actually because they have been firmly bound to their own warships by the Man Qing.

I can't even think about it!
An imperial decree from Shunzhi conferring on the eight imperial merchants, and the honor given to the eight imperial merchants by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, completely tied them to death.

As a result, the eight imperial merchants of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties are not even qualified to jump back.

Well, Zhu Hongyu said that if this group of "experimental samples scheduled by the Great Ming Tai Hospital" falls into his hands, I guarantee that they will not be able to survive or die.

Zhu Hongyu sneered and said.

"These Shanxi merchants are interesting!"

Zhou Tianxu added.

"Your Majesty, not all Shanxi merchants are on the side of the Manchus. My Daming spies in Shanxi have also received letters of loyalty from many Shanxi merchants."

"These businessmen expressed their willingness to contribute money and efforts for Daming to recover Shanxi!"

"If Daming wants to recover Shanxi, they can afford all the military expenses!"

The expression on Zhu Hongyu's face improved a little when he heard this, and he let out a heavy breath, Zhu Hongyu still spoke.

"Hehe, these people don't just talk but don't do it, do they?"

Zhou Tianxu said.

"Your Majesty, these Shanxi businessmen are still very sincere."

"They have already sent people to Jiangnan, contacted me at Daming Royal Bank, and are going to buy a batch of recovery bonds!"

When Zhu Hongyu heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

Damn, a group of idiots wronged me!

Lao Tzu's bond is really going to be repaid, and the interest will be calculated.

There is absolutely no meaning of whoring in vain!
Regarding this, Zhu Hongyu was also quite speechless. He stated several times to the outside world that the bonds were only borrowed, and the court would repay them when they expired in the future.

However, no one will believe it!

Just like these Shanxi merchants, they made it clear that they also regarded Daming's bonds as a debt from the king of Hades who borrowed money from the imperial court and did not repay it, and regarded it as a means for the emperor and the merchants below to ask for money.

Therefore, they regard buying bonds as a way to express their favor to Da Ming.

There is no plan to ask the court to pay back the money at all!

To put it bluntly, you are spending money to buy peace!
They didn't even think about getting back the money they bought for bonds.

But what made Zhu Hongyu most worried was Zhou Tianxu's attitude.

Obviously, judging from Zhou Tianxu's performance now, he also doesn't think that the imperial court will pay back the bonds...

Although after Zhu Hongyu withdrew from the bond policy, he also spent money to buy a batch.

But just after buying this side, he turned around and threw those bonds aside casually. Although he didn't throw them directly into the trash can, he didn't pay much attention to them, so he threw them aside casually.

Obviously, he didn't even think about buying the bonds, and the court can pay back the money!

The reason why he spent money to buy bonds was just to show Zhu Hongyu his loyalty, that's all!

However, in the face of the goodwill of the people below, in the face of those businessmen in Shanxi who obviously think that buying bonds is a waste of money, but they still spend money to buy them...

Zhu Hongyu really couldn't say anything serious!

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Hongyu finally figured it out.

Forget it, don't think so much now!

It's no use even thinking about it!
It is not so easy to move away the mountain called prejudice in people's hearts.

Wait for three months to expire!

After three months expired, the court would simply repay the principal with interest, and the reputation of the Ming court for selling bonds would be established.

How many people in the world don't believe that the imperial court will pay back the money they borrowed. When the imperial court really repays the money, the shock will be directly proportional to the degree of prejudice in their hearts now!
……

Beijing!

In the Golden Temple of the Forbidden City, a middle-aged man with a timid expression sits on a dragon chair.

His body shape and posture have undergone special etiquette training, whether it is sitting posture or expression, people can't fault it.

However, when he was sitting on the dragon chair, the first impression he gave was that he was crowned like a monkey, and he didn't look like a real emperor at all.

Not to mention comparing with an emperor with real power like Zhu Hongyu, even compared with a young emperor with no real power like Kang Mazi, he was much worse.

This person is the third prince Zhu introduced by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he is known as Zhu Cijiong, the king of Ding.

However, his real identity is just a beggar on the streets of Sijiu City.

It's just that some old people left over from the pre-Ming Dynasty in the Manchu Palace testified that this beggar's appearance is somewhat similar to that of Emperor Chongzhen.

That's why he completed the transformation from a beggar to an emperor!

The speed of this change is much faster than that of Zhu Yuanzhang.

When Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he went through more than ten years of hard work, but he won directly.

As soon as I woke up, I completed the transformation from a beggar to an emperor!
After supporting Zhu Cijiong's ascension to the throne, the Manchu Qing gave him the title of Xuantong.

The reason for taking such an era name is that the meaning of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is to declare the legitimacy of its rule, so it is Xuantong!

Emperor Xuantong of the Ming Dynasty was sitting on the dragon chair, and below, Oboi, wearing a Qing dynasty uniform, stood with his head held high and his eyes staring at him.

He looked at Emperor Xuantong without any respect.

On the contrary, Emperor Xuantong looked at Oboi with fear and fear in his eyes.

Facing Aobai, Xuantong just asked tremblingly.

"What is Ao Shaobao looking for with me?"

"Please make it clear that as long as I can do it, I will definitely not be called Shaobao, and Daqing will be disappointed!"

Xuan Tong's status changed from a beggar to an emperor too quickly, and now he is a typical nouveau riche mentality.

Extremely arrogant, but also extremely inferior!
This is a rather morbid psychology!

Now, besides enjoying the glory and wealth brought to him by the throne, he is using his power as much as possible every day.

When Ao Bai came to him today, he was rolling in the powder pile.

He is using the pitiful power in his hands to force the little eunuch who is serving beside him to bark like a dog, and imitate a dog to crawl on the ground.

Anyone who dared to disobey his orders would beat and scold at every turn, and even beat him to death!
