Chapter 373 I made a lot of money
Xu Hongru paced back and forth a few steps, and said with a heavy expression: "Now I have lost a lot of places and the morale of the army is unstable. If we don't find a way, we may be in chaos first."
Now that things have come, Wang Haoxian has long lost his original spirit and seems much more decadent. He really has no good idea about the current situation.
In terms of ability, Wang Haoxian himself is not as good as Xu Hongru; not to mention that he is not as good as Xu Hongru in terms of qualifications and prestige.
Although Wenxiang Sect was founded by Wang Haoxian's father, after so many years of development, power has been almost acquired by Xu Hongru.
Originally, Wang Haoxian only held a certain amount of actual power in his hand and wanted to expand his power through this rebellion. However, until now, these things were no longer what he could continue to covet.
Even if there is no one Qufu to be defeated, it is impossible to want more. Moreover, the current situation does not allow Wang Haoxian and Xu Hongru to think about anything more. Only by working hard between the two sides can we continue to survive.
So Wang Haoxian said, "Then what do you think?"
Xu Hongru's eyes were a little red, and his expression became ferocious. He bit his back teeth and said, "Fake attack Qufu, bypass the blockade of the official army, and take Jining directly!"
After hearing this, Wang Haoxian's face became very ugly.
When Wang Haoxian went directly to Jining, of course, he knew what Xu Hongru's purpose was.
You know, there is a big man in Jining City now, that is the Dog Emperor. Now Xu Hongru wants to kill directly to Jining, but his purpose can only be for the Dog Emperor.
This aspect has not been thought about, and Wang Haoxian himself has also thought about it. But the problem is that if he really gives up the foundation here and kills him, once he can't defeat Jining City, he will lose everything and even lose his life in Jining.
This point is impossible not to be considered. The most important thing is, how can Jining City be so easy to fight?
There are countless people gathered there now, and the safety of the dog emperor is naturally the top priority. Many dog officials are there to protect their troops. Jining even has the people brought by the dog emperor from the capital, and the commander is the famous Qi Jin.
I ran directly over to fight Jining City, but the chance of winning was not very good.
Now Wang Haoxian has no confidence at all.
His side was defeated by the official army. After being beaten by Qufu for half a month, he failed to defeat anything. Now he is going to fight Jining, he has no confidence.
In Wang Haoxian's opinion, this is a way to die.
Seeing Wang Haoxian hesitating, Xu Hongru looked at his eyes with a hint of disdain. Xu Hongru really looked down on his friend's son.
What are you doing?
That is rebellion, a life that is pinned on the belt, and if you are not careful, you will die without a place to bury it.
If you don’t even make this preparation, what rebellion will you do?
When it is beneficial, when you think about being the emperor, you will feel extremely excited. When you want to fight to the death, you will not have the courage?
It's really useless!
However, Xu Hongru also knew that if he relied on his subordinates, there was little hope. Although the team brought up by Xu Hongru developed very rapidly, he had suffered several major defeats recently and had no more people in his hands.
Although he attacked the government army several times, won several battles, and even ran out easily, Xu Hongru knew in his heart that these were local victories and had no way to influence the general trend.
If you cannot change the general trend, then it will be a matter of time before you are eliminated, and the best result will be to become a bandit.
But judging from the current situation, I don’t even have the chance to wander. This place in Shandong is destined to be unable to go south or north.
If you go south, you will encounter the garrison in Nanjing. Although the south will be even worse, there are many people, not to mention that the city is high and the walls are deep and the water nets are dense. I am afraid that even the Yangtze River will be blocked and killed by others.
If you go north, you will rush directly to Jizhen. There are a large number of garrisons there, and they are all border troops. With your own strength, you are looking for death.
So I can only go west. As long as I can bypass the official army in front of me, I can go directly to Jining. It is best to be able to fight. It is best to catch the dog emperor, and the world will be in chaos. In this way, I have the opportunity to take advantage of it and complete the great cause.
Even if you cannot break through Jining City and cannot catch the Dog Emperor, you can still cross the Grand Canal and go westward. Only in this way can you have a chance.
So going west is the most favorable decision.
However, Xu Hongru would not tell Wang Haoxian about this idea. If he said that, Wang Haoxian might have chosen to run away directly.
In Xu Hongru's heart, the best ending is to conquer Jining City and catch the dog emperor.
Looking at Wang Haoxian, Xu Hongru knew that he could not let him continue like this, so he said directly: "You know our current situation. When the imperial army gathered in siege, we would not be able to leave, and at that time there would be only a dead end."
"With the moment we can still move, we must always have a chance to survive. As long as we fight to the city of Jining, the whole Shandong will be in chaos, the troops from all over the country will go to serve the king, the troops under our command will have a chance to breathe, and the masters of other places will also have the opportunity to gather people."
"When it comes to that time, wars are everywhere and chaos in the world. As long as we catch the dog emperor, our great cause will be achieved. Now is not the time to hesitate. What we do is to lose our heads and we have no time to hesitate here."
Wang Haoxian looked up at Xu Hongru, and his expression on his face became ferocious, and he nodded vigorously and said, "Listen to you!"
Wang Haoxian also made great decisions to make such a decision at this moment.
After the two agreed, they began to mobilize people.
Some people were feinting attacks Qufu, while the army quietly advanced towards Jining, bypassing the captured official army and heading directly to Jining City.
At the same time, in Jining City.
Zhu Youxiao was a little bored.
Things in Shandong are not settled, and Zhu Youxiao cannot leave yet.
But after staying in Jining City for so many days, I have also left where I should go and where I should go. Zhu Youxiao really doesn't know where I should go.
As for the matter in Shandong, in Zhu Youxiao's opinion, what he wants to do has been done. At this point today, everything has been settled.
It is impossible to completely destroy the Kong family. Those thieves are really not good at it. If they want to deal with the Kong family, they can only confiscate some property and confiscate some land. In addition, it is not realistic to do anything else.
Of course, if I could hold a grudge and return to the capital, I secretly sent someone to do some small things, cut off the Kong family bit by bit, and finally cut off the Kong family. At that time, no one would say anything, and no one would even take a look.
The open and upright action has to stop now.
In addition, there is the Lu Palace.
The matter of the Lu Prince's Mansion came to an end. Zhu Youxiao also confiscated money, confiscated the land, and took away half of the property of the Lu Prince's Mansion, which can be said to be enough.
At the same time, Zhu Youxiao also punished other royal families, punished corrupt officials, and confiscated many homes.
In the past few days, many ships set off in Jining City back to the capital, all of which transported these properties.
Although Zhu Youxiao can continue to search, he can no longer scrape it. If he scrapes it down, the entire Shandong will be ruined.
However, in this battle performance, the Meng family was much more competitive than the Kong family. Mencius' descendants spontaneously organized the people and fought very well.
Obviously, the title of the Kong family, Yan Shenggong, is really not beneficial at all. Once a person is praised to a high position, he will easily become arrogant.
Zhu Youzhao has completed the matter in Shandong, and the rest is the end.
Of course, the ending is not required by the emperor Zhu Youxiao, and it is enough to leave it to Xu Guangqi and the others. Even Xu Guangqi doesn’t need it. You can put Chen Sihai here to finish it, and there will be no problem at all.
Zhu Youxiao naturally felt bored if he had nothing to do.
Walking out of the room, Zhu Youxiao looked at Xu Guangqi who was walking in from outside, and a helpless expression appeared on his face.
This is the second time Zhu Youxiao has seen Xu Guangqi come here in three days.
To be honest, Zhu Youxiao doesn’t want to see Xu Guangqi anymore.
"My minister Xu Guangqi, please see Your Majesty." After seeing Zhu Youxiao, Xu Guangqi quickly saluted.
Xu Guangqi was naturally meticulous, but Zhu Youxiao didn't have a smile on his face. He waved his hand weakly and said, "Is there anything wrong with you who are here today?"
"Go back to Your Majesty, I'm here to ask Your Majesty to return to the capital." Xu Guangqi said.
Zhu Youxiao sighed.
This is not the first time Xu Guangqi has put forward this opinion. He has been urging Zhu Youxiao to return to the capital these days.
In Xu Guangqi's words, the rebellion in Shandong is no longer a mess, and those rebels were wiped out in these days, and His Majesty has no meaning here. Next, appease the people and calm Shandong are all things that officials have to do, and they are not what His Majesty wants to interfere.
If the officials do not do well, then severely punish them. Your Majesty does not need to stare here. Now that Your Majesty has been away from the capital for a long time, although there is no one in the capital, it is not a good thing for the emperor to leave the capital for a long time.
What's more, there was such a big disturbance in Shandong this time and the world was in turmoil, so Your Majesty should naturally be in charge of the capital.
For this reason, Xu Guangqi even wrote a question book, explaining his reasons in detail.
In fact, Zhu Youxiao understood that Xu Guangqi meant that he would not let himself go south anymore and would let himself go back to the capital as soon as possible. In a nutshell, there were only four words, that was, he would stop when he saw the opportunity.
In Xu Guangqi's words, Shandong has caused such a big disturbance and the world is shaking. Now every place is worried about Your Majesty, and the officials in every place are panic, and scholars in the world can no longer find their direction.
At such a time, the most important thing is to stabilize people's hearts. As long as Your Majesty returns to Beijing, everything will be stable. Going back to clean up people's hearts and soothe scholars in the world is the most urgent task.
There is no benefit to continue going south. As for wanting money, His Majesty has already made a lot of money this time.
Xu Guangqi followed Zhu Youxiao and was considered the butler from Zhu Youxiao this time. He naturally knew very clearly about Zhu Youxiao’s accounts this time.
This time, His Majesty made more than 17 million silver, as well as many antiques, calligraphy and paintings, store land deeds. These things must be sold in the future. Even if they cannot be sold, they will be transferred to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This is all money.
In Xu Guangqi's opinion, this money has been enough for His Majesty to spend some time, so there is no need to take it down and make money. It is enough to make this guy.
If you continue to make money, it will definitely cause local rebounds and will not be worth the loss.
Zhu Youxiao looked at Xu Guangqi and said helplessly: "What else do you want to say to me?"
Xu Guangqi knew that his actions were despised by His Majesty. But now, Xu Guangqi also knew that he could not retreat, so he could only say with a tough bullet and said, "Your Majesty, Jiangnan cannot move now."
Since the first time I met His Majesty, Xu Guangqi has told a lot of truth. At that time, he was so scared that Xu Guangqi even felt that he could not leave the palace.
But the result was that His Majesty not only did not blame himself, but instead praised himself and praised him to tell the truth.
So now when Xu Guangqi tells the truth, he doesn’t feel any pressure.
"The situation in Liaodong is not stable, and the Tartars are eyeing the northern border; the Tartars in the northwest just invaded the New Year before, and the Ming Dynasty suffered heavy losses; earthquakes occurred in Yulin, Shaanxi and other places, and the people are displaced. These things are urgently needed to be resolved, so the Jiangnan cannot be in chaos."
Xu Guangqi said with a calm face: "Now Your Majesty needs to stabilize the court, pacify Liaodong as soon as possible, purify the nine borders, strictly enforce military discipline, and teach the Tatars a lesson so that they dare not offend the border again. Only in this way can the court be stable and the northern border be stable."
"When it comes to that time, Your Majesty can go south as much as possible, and I will never stop you." Speaking of this, Xu Guangqi lifted up his clothes and knelt on the ground, and said with some emotion: "Your Majesty promotes me to the underworld. I am happy, and more happy. With this wise ruler in the Ming Dynasty, there is hope for revival!"
"I admire what Your Majesty has done and done. Your Majesty is responsible for corrupt officials, promotes administration, and severely punishes nobles and relatives. Even if it involves the vassal king, Your Majesty is not ruthless. This is a fair and strict monarch, and I am even more happy in my heart."
"But Your Majesty, if the northern border is unstable, the world will be unstable. There was the She'an Rebellion in the southwest earlier, and now Shandong Wenxiang Sect rebelled, why? "
"It's just that the world is underestimating the power of the court, and only then can we dare to act against the will of heaven. Your Majesty's vision should not be focused on small profits. It should be long-term, and the world will be seen throughout the past and present. Only by boosting the court and stabilizing the frontier can we make Xiaoxiao scared. Please give it a clear look!"
Zhu Youxiao looked at Xu Guangqi, sighed helplessly, walked to his side, and gently helped him up.
I have to say that Zhu Youxiao felt that he was moved by Xu Guangqi.
In fact, Zhu Youxiao didn't want to go to Nanjing either.
His next goal is Lianghuai, to put it bluntly, he went for salt.
Of course, this is the previous goal.
Zhu Youxiao didn’t expect to make so much money in Shandong. Now that he has made so much money, it’s time to stop.
Chapter completed!
