I really don't want to be emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

"Great skill overwhelms the Lord!"

Died unjustly for this reason, the first thing everyone thought of was Yue Fei, a famous anti-gold general in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Of course, Yue Fei was not the only minister who died unjustly. From the Warring States Period, except for Wang Jian who retreated bravely, like Bai Qi, Li Mu, including Lian Po, they all died unjustly.

Zhou Yafu, who suppressed the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms with one fell swoop, and his outstanding achievements, and Han Xin, the God of War, are simply not worth mentioning.In order to protect himself, Wei Qing never supported scholars, did not have too much contact with the dignitaries in the court, did not participate in political affairs, and lived in a daze all day long. This made him not a threat to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could not catch him, so Wei Qing had a good ending and died a good death.

Xu Da, the founding hero of the Ming Dynasty, originally had achievements, prestige, and power that alarmed Zhu Yuanzhang. However, Xu Da was respectful and cautious in his work. He later lost to Wang Baobao on the battlefield, which weakened his prestige and made him Zhu Yuanzhang did not suspect him for the time being.

Hearing Zhou Ning's words, Sun Zhichen immediately became alert: "What do you want to do?"

"I don't want to die, I want to live!"

Zhou Ning is in the Ning Navy, he is the chief of staff, and his father is the deputy commander of the Ning Navy. Although he has never held military power, in fact, in the Ning Navy Group, the Zhou family is second only to the Cheng family. family.

If Cheng Shijie is liquidated in the future, Zhou Ning will not be able to escape, nor will his elder brother Zhou An, nor will his father Zhou Yandong.

When Sun Zhiyi heard this, he fell silent.

In fact, although Sun Zhiman and Sun Chengzong are ancestors and grandchildren, the problem is that Sun Chengzong is Sun Chengzong, and Sun Zhiman is Sun Zhiman. When Commander-in-Chief Qi Jin died in the Battle of Hunhe, he looked at the surviving Qi family army officers and said : "The Qi family owes all the soldiers and Zhejiang elders money, but they are the only ones who never owe money to the imperial court!"

Sun Zhichen could also pat his chest. The Sun family of Gaoyang also never owed the court anything, but the court owed the Sun family of Gaoyang.

Sun Zhichen looked at Zhou Ning and said, "There is only one life. If there is a choice, who is willing to die? But, the common people in this world..."

"If we don't consider the common people in the world, do you think we need to swallow our anger?"

Zhou Ning said angrily: "Don't you know the nature of those civil servants in the court? They have no other skills, but the ability to drag their own people back is unmatched!"

"This matter needs a long-term plan!"

"This is natural. It is about the lives and deaths of millions of people. We have to be cautious!"

Now Ning Haijun has not only more than 30 soldiers in the whole army, but also millions of military dependents and workers. Once the court raises the butcher knife to Ning Haijun, don't expect them to be kind.

Just like the Dongjiang Army that year, after Mao Wenlong was executed without guilt, the imperial court did not let the Dongjiang Army go, wishing to eat the flesh of the Dongjiang Army lightly and drink their blood.

Ning Haijun has absorbed most of the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army, so they are very sensitive to this matter.

Sun Zhiman said: "Now we must arrange a backup plan in Gyeonggi!"

"Chen Guodong has already gone to the capital!"

In the Ning Haijun, Chen Guodong should be regarded as the one who killed the most of his own people. So far, Ning Haijun has executed more than [-] people by military law. In fact, the officers accounted for two-thirds, and some of the officers even made great contributions. Heroes, but they have made mistakes, and they can bear the corresponding price.

After Chen Guodong led more than [-] sergeants from the Military Supervision Department, they entered Gyeonggi under the guise of makeup. There was a strange atmosphere in the city of Beijing, and even the dullest people could feel it.

In fact, when Jing'an Fort fell, the capital was under martial law. At the beginning, everyone thought this was a matter of course. After all, the border gates were beaten to death, so it's no wonder that the capital was not under martial law.

However, with the passage of time, everyone found that they had cut off contact with the outside world. The Jingying, who had always been so lazy, patrolled the streets and alleys as if they had found chicken blood. The entire capital city was shrouded in an atmosphere of terror, and the number of scholars and officials pouring into the capital did not decrease, but more and more...

All of these are heart-wrenching.The most surprising thing is that those Qingliu spray dogs who have always been bullying the world with their big mouths have now shut their mouths. When acquaintances ask them for news from the court, they just smile mysteriously and refuse to say anything. Just thinking about it makes people shudder.

Those who are timid and well-connected try to escape from this suffocating cage, and those without connections have to stay in the capital. Fortunately, although the capital is under martial law, for some reason, prices have dropped and the people can still live.

This is the credit of Ning Haijun. Although Cheng Shijie led Ning Haijun's officers and men to fight at the border, blood flowed into rivers and bones were like mountains, but in the capital, on this battlefield where no gunpowder smoke could be seen, Ning Haijun also showed their fangs.

As Song Xiansheng's Dashun Army began to block the canal, the price of grain in the capital began to soar. However, the Ning Navy transported grain to the capital before it was frozen. This figure was as high as 22 shi a day. When the food arrived in Gyeonggi, it was too late to enter the capital, and was bought by a mysterious person with cash.

They bought grain from the Ninghai Navy, and gave the money very happily, and the price of grain became higher and higher. When the price of grain was at its highest, rice was sold for 13 taels of silver per stone, which was more than 20 times more expensive than usual. However, they The more you buy, the faster Ning Haijun will ship. Finally, on December 24, the eighth year of Chongzhen, the price of grain in Gyeonggi began to fall.

And it is an abnormal fall, a cliff-like fall, ten taels per stone of grain, seven taels, four taels, and now it is seven cents per stone of grain, and it is high-quality rice. If it is wheat and beans, it is per stone respectively Five denarii and six denarii per stone.

Even in a good harvest year, the price of food in Gyeonggi has never been so cheap in recent years. In fact, Ning Haijun transported the grain to Gyeonggi and sold it for seven coins, which was definitely a loss. Even potato starch, which has the highest yield, costs eight coins. Only silver can protect capital, and you have to sell it for at least nine coins to make money.

But the problem is that the potato starch peddled by major grain stores in the capital now only costs six coins per stone, which means that Ning Haijun will lose two coins for every stone of starch he sells.But the question is, why did Ning Haijun sell at a loss?

That's because there are many well-meaning grain merchants. At the highest price, Huazi bought Ning Haijun's starch for five taels or even ten taels of silver, which led to the overall profit of Ning Haijun's grain.

During the Everbright Chinese New Year, more than 100 grain merchants in Gyeonggi committed suicide because they had hoarded grain and went bankrupt. The result was the same whether they sold it or not. Ning Haijun took the grain and sold it at a crazy price reduction. Throwing grain in their hands, if there was a severe drought in the ninth year of Chongzhen and there was no harvest, they would still have a chance to turn around.

It's just a pity, seeing heavy snowfall in mid-December, the ninth year of Chongzhen is not a good harvest year, and it won't be too bad, their hope of turning over is completely shattered.

But the problem is that Ning Haijun took their IOUs and collected their shops everywhere. Now they have lost most of their grain sales channels, and future grain price rises or falls will no longer belong to them.

In this food war, the Ning Navy invested more than 600 million shi in grain, including more than 320 million shi of high-quality rice, 160 million shi of starch, and 80 shi of wheat and beans.Who knows that these grain merchants really can't bear it anymore. The more than 600 million shi of grain just released less than two-thirds, which is just over 400 million shi, these Gyeonggi grain merchants can't bear it anymore.

They suffered heavy losses, while Ning Haijun made a lot of money. The highest price of the more than four million shi of grain sold was ten taels of silver, and the lowest price was two or three taels of silver. Even on average, it was as high as four taels of silver. After excluding the cost, he made a net profit of more than [-] million taels of silver.

If Emperor Chongzhen knew that just one grain from Shuntian Mansion could generate more than 600 million taels of silver, how would he feel?
Fortunately, Cheng Shijie's heart was not dark enough. He knew that the people were too miserable, so he asked Xie Jinglin to control the price of grain and sell it at a far lower price.

The Ning Navy not only dumped grain to the capital, but also salt, cloth, woolen cloth, salted fish, dried meat, and canned meat, which greatly reduced the cost of living of the people in the capital.

These kinds of abnormal behaviors also made countless people feel panic. Some bold people are actively looking for a way out. They smell a great crisis, but they also smell a great opportunity. Can you give it a go?
Maybe this is an opportunity?

When Chen Guodong arrived in the capital, it took a lot of effort to sneak into the city of Beijing. What he saw was such a scene. Passers-by, also in a hurry, seemed unwilling to stay on the road for a while.

On the contrary, the number of patrolling soldiers increased exponentially. When they saw people they found suspicious, they would arrest them and throw them into prison without saying a word. Some brave guys even began to use the excuse of harboring Tatar spies to steal some people who had considerable wealth but no backers. Chen Guodong took all the property from the rich families' homes and divided up their women's families. The sound of wailing and wild laughter could not be heard. The entire city of Beijing felt like a big prison to Chen Guodong, and all the millions of residents were prisoners!

On the contrary, there are restaurants and restaurants, and the Fireworks and Willow Lane is still very lively. bustling.

Who the hell knows where so many romantic literati have emerged, from North Zhili, Henan, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Jiangnan... The Southern accent and the North tune are all in one room, and each of them is as energetic as a chicken blood.

Seeing them, Chen Guodong became angry and wanted to bring someone in and kill them all!But he didn't act impulsively, because he knew that this was their last act of madness.

Chen Guodong brought people to an inconspicuous courtyard, and the guards beside Chen Guodong knocked on the door.

The concierge poked his head out: "The earthquake in Gaogang, the stream of water has been beautiful for eternity!"

"The gate faces the sea, and the Sanhe River flows for thousands of years."

The concierge made a handprint: "Your Excellency"

Chen Guodong replied: "Marshal!"

"Brother please!"

Chen Guodong is one of the people who have followed Cheng Shijie for the longest time. He and Shen Mingyu have followed Cheng Shijie successively. Since Yang Yunniang was born in Qianmen, the Military Supervision Department established an intelligence organization very early. The wind group, the fire group, the elimination group and the rumor group were established.

It can also be said that Ning Haijun's foreign intelligence department has a very small establishment. This organization has no de facto name, and the four generals are respectively responsible to Chen Guodong.

It is Cheng Shijie's bad taste to adopt Tiandihui's joint code words.

Now the person in charge of the capital is Ma Xing. He is from Daxing County, and he can be regarded as a local snake in the capital. Eighteen kinds of torture. Later, Cheng Shijie did business with Jin Yiwei, selling criminals.

In the seventh year of Chongzhen's reign, Ma Xing was sold to Liaodong, and then he was favored by Chen Guodong. Although Ma Xing had no education, he only attended a private school for six years when his father Ma Hongchao was still alive, and he was proficient in writing.

He came into Chen Guodong's field of vision because of his literacy, but he never thought that he was actually a master of scouting information, and later became the first leader of the wind group, and now he has been sitting in the capital for a long time.

Xie Jinglin was able to catch grain merchants in Gyeonggi by surprise, but most of it was due to Ma Xing.

"Meet the Marshal!"

"Ninghai has only one Marshal, and that is Cheng Shuai. From now on, I will still be called General!"

Chen Guodong is a Dingguo general from the second rank, so calling him a general is not wrong.

Chen Guodong asked straight to the point: "Are you ready? The commander is coming soon!"

"Dongzhimen Haiguo Mansion, the left and right six households have all been bought by humble officials, and the left and right have been opened up!"

Ma Xing took out a blueprint from the secret compartment and said: "The construction craftsmen, a total of 650 people, were all sent to Luzon by the sect. No one except the sect knows this secret!"

"Very good!"

"Under the gate, transport 420 fire dragons to the capital city and hide them in thirteen houses. These thirteen places can all be attacked in the Forbidden City!"

"how did you do that?"

"It was really not easy in the past, but now the Beijing Camp only accepts money, and when the money is in place, they don't check at all and let it go!"

"It's just that the artillery is not easy to transport in!"

Chen Guodong asked again: "What happened to the capital recently?"

"Wu Zongda died unexpectedly!"

Ma Xing went on to say: "The door bought the autopsy's assistant, and the assistant Huang Wu confessed that Wu Zongda was first fainted with drugs, and then hung on the beam, pretending to commit suicide!"

Chen Guodong sneered: "They thought they could turn their hands into clouds and turn their hands into rain!"

"However, their goal was almost achieved!"

"Yes, they completely destroyed the painstakingly constructed border defense lines. They colluded with foreign enemies such as Mongolia and Junggar, and spared no effort to destroy the Ming Dynasty!"

Chen Guodong said: "It's a pity, Commander, if you don't allow it, they will never succeed!" (End of this chapter)
