    Emperor Chongzhen reported that he had heard about the Houjindi action plan and that Huang Taiji intended to break through Jimen. Mao Wenlong also gave a specific time in the memorial. He believed that this unprecedented invasion plan was probably around ten  Around the middle of September, Mao Wenlong once again attributed Hou Jin's incredible plan to Yuan Chonghuan's economic blockade of other places and the subsequent collapse of Dongjiang Town in his memorial. Whether it is this history or the local world of Huangshi, in the second half of the first year of Chongzhen  , the Ming court was discussing whether Dongjiang Town should be moved to Gaizhou, and whether it should support the Dongjiang Army to attack Liaoyang directly. At this time, Hou Jin was huddled in the Liaozhong Plain, and probably no one would have thought that one day they would be able to raid the pass.  .However, just a few months after Yuan Chonghuan began to negotiate for peace, Dongjiang Town gave up 99% of its territory and almost completely lost its ability to contain it. Then Jin recaptured Dongjiang Town without sending a single soldier or a single arrow. Countless martyrs  Those who exchanged blood for land expanded their territory from east to west by nearly three times, and the number of armored soldiers doubled. In previous warnings to western Liaoning, Mao Wenlong's prediction of the battlefield of Ningyuan was only slightly different from the actual time of Hou Jin's dispatch of troops.  One day, the Battle of Ningjin was only two days away. This time, Mao Wenlong warned of danger in Jimen five months earlier than the actual danger. It was the most advanced prediction made by the fortune teller Mao Wenlong in his life, but it was also the one with the biggest error.  The time Mao Wenlong predicted was mid-October, while the time Huang Taiji sent troops to breach the breach was the second day of November, which was a difference of more than ten days. In his last warning, Mao Wenlong tried his best to appeal to Emperor Chongzhen.  , requesting the Ming Dynasty to stop the economic blockade of Dongjiang Town, so that the children of Liaodong can avoid hunger and cold. Mao Wenlong sincerely assured the emperor that as long as the Dongjiang Army can eat, they will definitely contribute to the defense of the country. And Huangshi was originally  As in local history, civil servants scoffed at Mao Wenlong's alarm, claiming that it was just Mao Wenlong's "old trick" to get paid. Lucky or a big misfortune?  The chariot of Hou Jin was galloping along the track predicted by Mao Wenlong. Five months later, Huang Taiji carried out his first invasion of the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty at the time period predicted by Mao Wenlong and at the point predicted by Mao Wenlong. Although Shuai Mao was no longer here  , but Mingting still had the opportunity to make targeted arrangements. Is it lucky, or is it a big misfortune?  It was the enemy that Mao Wenlong spent his whole life fighting against, and his actual actions proved that until the last moment of his life, Mao Wenlong was still thinking about warning his motherland, and still thinking about "contributing to the country." When Mao Shuai hated him the most  When the local enemy invaders prove their loyalty by ravaging the hinterland of their motherland. If Marshal Mao, who has been slandered, trampled, ridiculed, and insulted, knew better, would he cry bitterly or be angry?  On the fifth day of May, on Dongjiang Island, after Mao Wenlong received Yuan Chonghuan's letter, he immediately prepared to leave the Dongjiang Town headquarters and go to Shuangdao to beg for food for his subordinates. Mao Chenglu, Kong Youde and others hurriedly entered the camp after hearing the news. Recently  Rumors spread all over the Mongolian tribes. Starting from the end of April or the beginning of April, people in various Mongolian tribes began to spread rumors from time to time. The peace negotiation conditions proposed by Huang Taiji to Yuan Chonghuan included the following clause: "Wen Long can only negotiate peace." He still had to meet Mao Wenlong.  After setting off for Shuangdao, Kong Youde said anxiously: "Father, now there are rumors from various Mongolian ministries that Mr. Yuan will do harm to you to prove the determination of the imperial court and Jiannu to negotiate peace." Mao Wenlong looked disapproving and said nonchalantly:  "Yongshi, you are overthinking it. The imperial court doesn't nod when negotiating such a big matter. How can Mr. Yuan make the decision?" "Uncle," Mao Chenglu, the last nephew alive around Mao Wenlong, also said anxiously: "Shuai Huang came here not long ago.  I wrote several secret letters, asking my uncle to arrange a knife and ax to prepare for any eventuality when he meets Yuan Chonghuan." "Huang Shi is still so ridiculous. He has always been hostile to Mr. Yuan. He must have heard some rumors this time. He is worried about me.  "Mao Wenlong shook his head and laughed a few times. Huang Shi was not afraid to use the darkest thoughts to figure out Yuan Chonghuan's intentions, which made Mao Wenlong feel that it was a bit too much. So he and several of his confidants burned the letters that Huang Shi came to after reading them.  Drop it, so as not to cause trouble for Huangshi. "I am the imperial envoy from Pingliao, the vanguard general Yin Dongjiang, and I have given Shangfang a sword and a Ming Dynasty Taibao." After Mao Wenlong finished speaking, he proudly pursed his lips and said to Kong Youde and Mao Chenglu: "  I am the Imperial Envoy, Chief Military Officer, General Pingliao, Taibao, and Shang Fang Baojian. Without the Emperor's consent, who would dare to touch a hair on my head?" Kong Youde and Mao Chenglu looked at each other, and finally Kong Youde murmured:  "Huang Shuai writes again and again, so be careful. Let Mr. Yuan come to Dongjiang Island." "No, maybe Mr. Yuan will find another excuse to embezzle my Dongjiang army salary." Mao Wenlong sighed. Huang Shi  Although he wanted to help Dongjiang Town, he still did not have the courage to blatantly allocate military rations from Funing Town to Dongjiang Town. Moreover, even if Huangshi was willing to allocate, Mao Wenlong would not dare to ask for it. The two military towns would never communicate privately in this world.  Any emperor can tolerate: "Look at our Dongjiang Town. People are starving to death every day. I must go to Shuangdao. I can't give Mr. Yuan any excuse to embezzle our Dongjiang military salary land." May 20, the second year of Chongzhen.  On the 5th, Yuan Chonghuan left Ningyuan and went to Shuangdao to discuss matters related to military pay with Mao Wenlong. During several days of talks, Yuan Chonghuan repeatedly asked Mao Wenlong to hand overHowever, Mao Wenlong refused to hand over military power privately. Mao Wenlong believed that Dongjiang Town was owned by the imperial court and he had no right to hand over military power to someone privately. On June 5, Yuan Chonghuan launched a surprise attack and denounced Mao Wenlong for twelve major crimes:  First, he refuses to let civilian officials manage the money and food of Dongjiang Town; second, he has never made any military exploits in the past eight years; third, the tone of the memorial is not respectful and rigorous enough; fourth, he has never given soldiers any military pay and salary in the past eight years.  Fifth, he asked Emperor Tianqi to open a horse market without the permission of the civil servants, and never let civil servants intervene in selling horses to the Mongols; sixth, he recognized a large number of godsons and grandchildren, with a total of more than a thousand people; seventh  , defrauding merchants of money and goods, and not paying back debts; eighth, being lustful by nature; ninth, not giving enough food to the Liao people, causing countless people to starve to death; tenth, concealing it from the eyes and ears of the world, in an unknown place  Secretly built a shrine to Wei Zhongxian on the island; Eleventh, he once boasted in the battle report and turned defeat into victory; Twelfth, he has never regained an inch of land in eight years, wasting national food and waiting to feed the enemy. Finished  After committing the twelve major crimes, Yuan Chonghuan knelt down in the direction of Beijing, indicating that he would obey the imperial edict and kill Mao Wenlong immediately. After Mao Wenlong heard that it was the emperor's order, he knelt down in the direction of Beijing and killed without any resistance. After killing Mao Wenlong, he knelt down in the direction of Beijing and killed him without any resistance.  , the Dongjiang generals caressed the corpse and cried bitterly, and the soldiers on the island were fierce. Yuan Chonghuan felt that this might not be good for his image, so he presided over the memorial ceremony for Mao Wenlong the next day. During the memorial ceremony, Yuan Chonghuan burst into tears and burst into tears.  . He was so sad that he couldn't stand up for the first half of the day. Yuan Chonghuan put all the blame on Emperor Chongzhen - the young man who trusted him infinitely. He claimed that he killed Mao Wenlong yesterday just "acting according to the order" and was "a national traitor"  ", and the reason why I cried so much today was because of a "colleague affair". I have to admit that Yuan Chonghuan's acting skills are still first-rate. From then on, Dongjiang Town generally believed that Chongzhen issued a secret order to kill Yuan Chonghuan. In the history of Huangshiyuan,  Later, after Kong Youde ran away to become a traitor, he used this banner to attack Lushun and other places.  , a large number of Dongjiang officers and soldiers turned their backs and actually ran to join the traitor army On June 12, the second year of Chongzhen, seven days after Mao Wenlong's death. Liaoyang "Mao Wenlong's death has been confirmed." Huang Taiji finished.  After the two-island change, there was a moment of silence in the meeting room of the Four Baylor Lands. After a while, Amin spoke up: "Although Wenlong has been in trouble with us for many years and has many tricks, he is a hero after all.  To die in the hands of a villain like this is really really" Amin stopped after saying "it's true" twice. It seemed that he couldn't find a particularly suitable adjective. Mang Gur Tai Leng  After a while, he said softly: "Didn't you always talk about Yuan Chonghuan, a friend of Daikin? Why did you call him a villain today?" "I have many dogs, and I like them very much, just like they are my old friends.  But they are still dogs." There was a hint of sadness on Amin's face. But there was still a cynical smile on his slightly opened mouth: "Wenlong is my enemy. In the past few years, Wenlong has given me countless troubles.  He has caused so much trouble and killed so many of our women and children. I just wish I could cut him into pieces with my own hands. But this does not affect my saying that he is a hero." Dai Shan sighed in a low voice: "What a pity.  Father Khan did not see this day." The atmosphere in the tent became heavier. Huang Taiji suddenly said loudly: "We are going to pay homage to the old Khan and tell him that Mao Wenlong is dead and died in shame. Father Khan  You will definitely be very pleased." The remaining three people nodded, and Huang Taiji suddenly breathed out a sigh of relief: "Okay, let's march westward as a whole brigade." On June 15th, ten days after Mao Wenlong died,  Days later, the Hou Jin Dynasty had already determined the plan to send troops. Huang Taiji and Mang Gurtai sent troops to enter the pass, while Amin and Daishan stayed behind. The direction of the attack this time was in the Gyeonggi area, the rich area of ??the Ming Dynasty, and each banner hoped to divide the troops.  He wanted a piece of the pie, so Huang Taiji followed his advice and ordered all Niu Lu to participate in sending troops to ensure that everyone can taste the sweetness. "Each Niu Lu will send out ten or fifteen armored soldiers. The first to arrive at Ka is  On the Mongolian territory of Laqin, and then broke through the border wall of the Ming Dynasty and drove straight in." Huang Taiji and Mang Gurtai were discussing the issue of where to send troops, and the former was describing to the latter the total strength of the troops. In the reign of Nurhaci  During that period, there were more than 200 Niulu in Houjin. In theory, each Niulu would have 300 men from sixteen to sixty years old. According to the principle of drawing one armor for every three men, there were about 20,000 armored men in Houjin.  After Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, he reduced the theoretical establishment of each Niulu to 200 men. The entire Houjin Dynasty had a total of 300 Niulu, and each Niulu provided 80 armors. During this period, the Houjin regime  Excluding the Mongolian and Han armies, there were about 24,000 armored soldiers from the Eight Banners of Manchuria. For this attack on Beijing, Huang Taiji took ten to fifteen white armored soldiers from each Niulu, forming a total of 4,000 elite soldiers.  Assault troops, the remaining armored soldiers continued to be scattered in Houjin, responsible for public security and defense. In addition to the 4,000-man combat troops, Huang Taiji also mobilized about 10,000 unarmored bannermen and Baoyi. They still looked like  Ningyuan and Ningjin were also responsible for pushing carts in order to carry the looted materials back to Hou Jin's tray. In this way, Hou Jin's direct troops dispatched by himself were about 13,000.There were 15,000 people. "When we reach the Karaqin Mongolia, we will still have some allies." He wanted the Mongols to believe that the Ming Dynasty was completely bullying the weak and fearing the strong. This time Yuan Chonghuan did not hesitate to kill the generals of the main war faction.  Begging for peace was the best weapon Huang Taiji used to persuade the Mongols to form an alliance with him: "We will probably make an alliance with thirty-six Mongols one after another, and they will also dispatch five thousand armors and thousands of men to carry things.  "Mang Gurtai seemed a little dissatisfied. The total strength of the Jin army was only about 25,000 people: "There are so few, only more than 10,000 Mongolians." "No way, this is the first time, they are against  The Ming Dynasty is still wary, thinking that it is a behemoth that is not easy to mess with. But when these wolves taste blood, they will not let go. As long as we can ensure that all Mongolian tribes have grabbed enough things. There will be more next time  More people are coming to join us." Huang Taiji seemed confident. Lin Danhan had now completely lost confidence in the Ming Dynasty, and began to carry out annexation work that ignored the Ming Dynasty, and tried to use force to coerce the Ming Dynasty to give Sui coins like Hou Jin did.  "As long as we win this battle, these thirty-six Mongols will be tied to us." Mongolian areas are also suffering from the impact of natural disasters, so the Mongols are also eager to plunder. However, after the first breach  At present, they still plan to leave some escape routes for themselves. Except for those who are determined to follow Hou Jin to conquer New Mongolia, most Mongolian tribes are still watching or hiding their tribal flags and secretly sending some people to join forces with Hou Jin.  .But Huang Taiji believed that as long as he could successfully plunder the most prosperous Gyeonggi area of ??the Ming Dynasty, other Mongolian tribes, including Lin Dan Khan, would also join or imitate Hou Jin. As long as he could get enough wealth, the emperor would  Taiji also had the means to purchase urgently needed grain and other materials from several Shanxi merchants. For a country as big as the Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji believed that he could always find some black-hearted businessmen. "As long as we can succeed this time, the Ming Dynasty will be better in the future."  Everything outside the border wall is an enemy country. The Ming Dynasty has a border wall that is thousands of miles long. How can they defend against it?" Huang Taiji looked at the picture with emotion, sizing up such a huge behemoth as the Ming Empire. The Jin regime struggled for many years.  .However, the earth's rotation is spinning out of control, and the population continues to decrease. They and the Baile seem to be quite prosperous, but in fact they are living a life of walking on thin ice: "Finally, we are about to make a splash, and from now on we will be able to leap by the vastness of the sea.  The sky is high and the birds can fly away." "What about Huangshi? Huangshi will still come back." Although life was getting better day by day, Mang Gurtai still couldn't suppress the fear in his heart. He knew clearly that his eighth brother was excited at the moment.  But Mang Gurtai still couldn't help pouring cold water on him: "If the situation is too bad, Huang Shi will still be transferred back." "After this breach, even Huang Shi's return will be useless." Huang Taiji chuckled. He  The endless Mongolian grassland on the map he pointed at casually said: "He is a governor-general, and he can have 10,000 soldiers under him. In the past, our land was only a few thousand miles away, and we were trapped in a small cage like the Liaozhong Plain. For the time being,  Let him be rampant. After this big plunder, Monan Mongolia will be under my control. What big thing can his 10,000 infantrymen do?  With thousands of miles of mountains and mountains, we can penetrate into the belly of the Ming Dynasty anywhere. Can he block it all with just ten thousand infantry?  "Well, what you are saying, eighth brother, is that once we win over the various Mongolian tribes, we will have the potential to compete with the Ming Dynasty." Mang Gurtai looked at the picture and looked forward to the future, and his heart was filled with great joy.  Full, these hard days are finally coming to an end. "But this is the first time we have roped in the Mongols, so it's better not to fight a tough battle, and the fewer people will die, the better." Huang Taiji was worried that too much loss would make him suffer.  The Mongolian people are chilling, and this entry must serve as an example, so as to make their allies more determined to follow them, and also to make other Mongolians who maintain a wait-and-see attitude join Hou Jindi's arms: "Twenty thousand to  Thirty thousand troops and ten thousand men in armor are not too much. But it is not too much. As long as they can be used properly, there is still a lot to be done." Mang Gurtai nodded in agreement, and then asked: "Kala  How is the food and grass prepared in Qin there?  "In the past, the Hou Jin Dynasty was unable to occupy the land west of the Liao River. After conquering Guangning, they had to move things back to Liaoyang. Because they were running out of food, they were even more unable to maintain the army outside. In the past, there were two battles between Ningyuan and Ningjin.  They all started from Youtun, and all the way to Dalinghe and Xingshan were the rations of Guan Ning's army. Hou Jin's tactics were the same as Mao Wenlong's, only the first part of the rations was brought. Then the enemy's territory was  After Yan Mingtai took charge of the Liao Dynasty, the first thing Yan Mingtai did was to move all the things in Jinzhou and other places back to Ningyuan. Yan Mingtai's theory was to make Hou Jin "nothing to plunder". As a result,  Hou Jin immediately lost the ability to rob Guan Ning's army. During the seventh year of Tianqi and the first year of Chongzhen, the Hou Jin army was also very weak against the Dongjiang Army and Mongolia, because both brothers were poor.  It is impossible for Hou Jin to get rich by robbing the two of them. In the original time and space of Huangshi, this was also the period when Dongjiang Town was the largest in the world. At least there was a Ming Dynasty behind Mao Wenlong. The Hou Jin army also attacked the Dongjiang army that was advancing into Haizhou.  No reaction, reallyBecause there was no benefit in fighting the Dongjiang Army, food and lives were wasted in vain. It was under this situation that in the first year of Chongzhen, the courtiers advocated moving Mao Wenlong to Gaizhou. Now that Mao Wenlong is dead, Dongjiang Town is also  They abandoned Haizhou, Gaizhou, Fuzhou, and Jinzhou and retreated all the way to Lushun, but this does not mean that the Hou Jin army does not need to consider food issues. First, there is no surplus food in Liaoyang; second, with the current Hou Jin regime  Given the local economic capacity, transporting grain two thousand miles to Harqin Mongolia is not a big project that it can accomplish. It is even more impossible to collect grain from Monan Mongolia, because the Monan grassland encountered a severe drought again in the second year of Chongzhen.  All the ministries ate all the lambs, but a large number of people still starved to death. So Huang Taiji had to find another way to prepare military grain. His plan was to purchase the grain reserves of the Ming army from Yuan Chonghuan. This plan was very feasible. Because Chongzhen wanted to  To ensure that Yuan Chonghuan could achieve the "Five Years of Ping Liao", a large amount of grain collected from the people was transported to Ningyuan. Now Yuan Chonghuan holds more than half of the national grain stocks of the Ming Empire. Next to Haraqin Mongolia is Ji Town, which  If the military rations are placed there, they can be used directly when the Hou Jin army invades the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty. It is really convenient. Since the peace talks began, Huang Taiji sent hundreds of people to Haraqin Mongolia.  These people and the Karaqin Mongols went to Yuan Chonghuan to purchase military rations for the Ming army, and then stored them for use by the troops in case of invasion. "In the past, the matter of purchasing grains has been going well, and no envoys have been sent to report the situation recently.  "But with Yuan Chonghuan here, there should be nothing to worry about." Huang Taiji said calmly June 25, the second year of Chongzhen. Xiapu is now facing increasing economic pressure in Funing Town. Originally, Jiangnan was a stone's throw away.  The price of good rice is about three coins, the price of one stone of coarse rice is about two coins, and the price of miscellaneous grains can be bought for one stone. Therefore, the original target set by Huangshi was for each relocated fishermen, including the babies at home.  There is a one-yuan subsidy every month, so that if they can do some odd jobs, their lives will not be a big problem. However, after Fujian borrowed several large loans, food prices continued to rise, and now the price has nearly doubled. Except for  In addition, with the long-term sea ban, the unemployment problem has become more and more serious. Huangshi's land subsidy has been gradually increased, and now it has exceeded two yuan per person per month. Therefore, Huangshi had to go to Zhu Yifeng to discuss, and the two  The individual then borrowed another 500,000 taels of silver, and now they owed a debt of 5 million taels of silver. After seeing that the repayment of Pingman's large loan was basically going smoothly, Liu Qingyang was transferred to Funing by Huangshi and was fully responsible for the repayment of Pingman's large loan.  Fujian Shang Land Work. Since the Funing Army once again announced the reconstruction of the Navy, the Fujian Shang Group has become more enthusiastic about Funing Town. According to Huang Shi, their origins are different from those of ordinary people. Simple ordinary people  They simply believed that Zhu Yifeng was a great master who made decisions for the people, so they had to respond to the call of a good official who made decisions for the people. However, the Fujian merchants completely understood it. As long as the officers and soldiers did not eliminate Zheng Yiguan for a day,  , then they would never want to do sea trade. Everyone saw that after the second naval battle was defeated, the imperial court was still supporting the Chief Secretary of Fujian and Funing Town. Everyone also understood that for the imperial court, recruiting peace was just a way to save a lot of money.  It only requires a small amount of military expenditure and can prevent the chaos from expanding. Therefore, as long as Huangshi still controls the mainland steadily and as long as Zhu Yifeng can solve the military expenditure problem by himself, the imperial court's support for Fujian's government and military will not change. And  As long as the imperial court continues to support Zhu Yifeng and Huang Shi, they can borrow military funds to rebuild the navy again and again. Huang Shi's statement of rebuilding a hundred times is indeed an exaggeration, but rebuilding dozens of times is still no problem.  . And if this momentum continues, the people's livelihood and economy of the entire Fujian Province will inevitably be tied to the chariots of Zhu Yifeng and Huang Shi. These two brothers have nothing to lose, and they will definitely go all the way to the dark side. So everything will be ruined.  Once Huangshi was really deposed, the economy of Fujian Province would collapse instantly. After the Fujian merchants understood this, they completely gave up their illusions. They must not let Huangshi be deposed. They must fully support Huangshi in defeating the pirates.  , and the sooner the better. So after the third reconstruction of the Navy, many Fujian businessmen came to buy Jinghai bonds. After Huangshi officially started to rebuild the Navy, more Fujian businessmen came to request money for Funing Town.  They unanimously expressed their willingness to fully support the government and army in wiping out the pirates as soon as possible and returning the father of Fujian Province to a peaceful world. Today Liu Qingyang held a meeting and invited all the businessmen who came to help them to participate. He first led the businessmen to visit  They visited the warships under construction, and then took them to visit the artillery factory, steelmaking, ironworks and a large number of ancillary factories, such as nails, hammers, saw blades, etc. Liu Qingyang took them to visit the first building of the Funing Town Military Industry Department.  The purpose was to strengthen the Fujian business group's confidence in Huangshi. To make them aware of the power of Funing Town and the uncompromising fighting will of the Funing Army. This goal was successfully accomplished. The Fujian businessmen who visited all praised the armament of Funing Town.  Juekou, there are even some people who want to buy a few craftsmen. Of course, this condition cannot be met. Huang Shi tried his best to break the personal dependence of the craftsmen, but Liu Qingyang was very happy when the businessman brought up this topic, because it could lead to him today.  Want to achieve the most important goal. With the help of millions of taels of silver, Funing TownThe Military Industry Department has expanded into a terrifying monster. The total number of craftsmen now exceeds 20,000 and is heading towards 30,000. They take tens of thousands of taels of wages from Huangshi every month, which really makes him overwhelmed. Therefore.  Huang Shi was eager to find someone to help him carry this big burden. Liu Qingyang once again said that Funing Town would not accept any form of donations, because the businessmen who came to help Funing Town were all "righteous businessmen", and it was a blessing to help "righteous businessmen" make profits.  Ning Town should fulfill its duty, so Funing Town will never take their money in vain. Of course, Funing Town really needs help now, so Liu Qingyang threw out something called the "Lease Act". "To put it simply, Funing Town really needs help now.  , I just want to ask all the Italian merchants to rent our craftsmen in Funing Town, pay them monthly wages, and then produce the goods we need. Whether it is ship boards, sails, steel, glass, or telescopes, we need them all." Liu Qingyang  Patiently explaining the meaning of Funing Town, it took a lot of effort for the merchants to understand. Huangshi asked them to give priority to hiring craftsmen from Funing Town, build factories that meet the standards of Funing Town, and then produce the goods that Funing Town needs.  , Funing Town will also pay for their products. Huangshi does not mind that merchants include the wages of Funing Town craftsmen in the cost of goods. At this time, Huangshi wants to play the role of a labor union to avoid feudal barriers and circle the craftsmen. These  The craftsmen all have military status in Funing Town, so they can move around in these enterprises. In addition, Huangshi also plans to take the opportunity to collect personal income tax and ask the rented craftsmen to turn in part of their wages as military expenses for Funing Town.  Isn't this also a source of wealth? These businessmen cannot only produce goods for Funing Town. As long as they hire workers trained by Funing Town, then Huangshi will open up a new tax source. The best thing is to collect this  The lump sum tax can also easily bypass the Ming Dynasty Law. Theoretically speaking, the military households in Funing Town are originally the property of Funing Town, and the income from Huangshi's leasing them out is of course owned by the military town. According to the regulations designed by Huangshi  , the average income tax for workers is about 40%, but no one should praise, "Huang Shuai is so kind that he awarded 60% of the leased land to the craftsmen." "The most urgent need in Funing Town is definitely ships.  , Not only are we needed now, but we will also need a large number of sea-going ships in the future." Liu Qingyang then explained the needs of Funing Town. Shipbuilding will drive other industries, such as ship boards, sails and nails. These will in turn drive wood,  Saw blades, etc. In short, the more than 20,000 craftsmen in Funing Town are doing useful land work. Liu Qingyang hopes that Fujian merchants can open various factories and rent out all these craftsmen. The Fujian merchants whispered to each other. In their opinion,  Apart from being troublesome, this condition is nothing else. Funing Town also offered a very attractive condition, which is free transfer of technology. When renting the craftsmen's land, Funing Town will give away all the scientific research results of so many years for free.  to merchants, and Funing Town has also proposed a "patented" concept to ensure the interests of merchants. "In the future, all orders in Funing Town will only be placed with the bosses who rent military town craftsmen, even if it is a table or a line  As long as there is a boss selling the bench, we will never buy it from outside." After Liu Qingyang gave this guarantee, the businessmen were already excited. Since ancient times, being an official businessman has been the most profitable, not to mention that Huangshi's reputation has always been very good. It seems that  The cost was also very high. However, Liu Qingyang had not finished shaking off Huangshi's burden. His order was to tie all Fujian businessmen to the Dark Council's ship, so Liu Qingyang began to promote the Council. "Everything.  If you join this council, you must let the council buy 50% of the shares for free." As soon as Liu Qingyang said these words, all the businessmen present were trembling with fright. The shares taken away for free must be too many.  However, they all waited politely for Liu Qingyang to finish all the conditions. "If the net profit in a year is more than one million taels of silver, the board of directors will take away five hundred thousand taels. If the net profit in a year is less than one million taels,  Two, then the board of directors will not take 50% of the shares." After Liu Qingyang finished speaking, everyone's faces relaxed, and a fat and fair businessman even laughed and said: "General Liu is joking, don't say he makes one million a year.  Even if it's five hundred thousand taels a year, no, as long as you can find a way for me to earn three hundred thousand taels of silver a year, I'm willing to split it equally with General Liu." "Oh. I made a mistake just now. The board of directors gets shares in shares.  "Segment system" Liu Qingyang explained the meaning of the segment system. That is, if the profit is more than one million, the board of directors will need half for the portion of the land above one million; 40 percent for the portion between 500,000 and one million; and 30 percent.  For the period from 10,000 to 500,000, 30% is required, from 100,000 to 300,000 is required for 20%, and for the board of directors below 100,000, it is only 10%. Most of the businessmen here only make a net profit of 10,000 taels of silver a year. As for the net profit of one million taels of silver,  For them, it was an astronomical figure. They felt that giving Huang Shi 10% of the shares was not too much. Of course, this would have to wait for Huang Shi to come up with benefits in exchange, so everyone started asking, "Please wait a moment. I'll give this a try."  We¡¯ll talk about it later. Let me talk about the requirements of the council first.¡± Seeing Liu Qingyang¡¯s further words, the businessmen politely shut their mouths and listened quietly: ¡°Businessmen who join this council must abide by two rules.  The first obligation is to give priority to the purchase of goods from the council. In principle, as long as there is a merchant within the council selling something, it is not allowed to be purchased from outside; secondly, internal competition is also restricted, and no malicious lowering of the price of goods is allowed to squeeze out the company.  Companions within the Council." ThisThere are many details in this clause, but these will be discussed later. Liu Qingyang then took out some lists of Lu businessmen and showed the Fujian businessmen a little about the current scale of this organization. Although these businessmen were not interested in this  There is no concept of this kind of organization, but they also vaguely felt something. Many businessmen felt an inexplicable excitement in their hearts, which made them secretly strange. It has been too many years since Huangshi came to this era.  He had almost forgotten the politics textbook in junior high school, but he vaguely remembered that the so-called imperialism is a combination of financial oligarchs and national force, and financial oligarchs seem to need to rely on a "monopoly group with great privileges" to create. Now  The monopoly group has already taken shape, and Liu Qingyang's next work will be to give it "great privileges." Liu Qingyang first came up with a tax detailed rules: "Gentlemen, this is the Jinghai tax fee drawn up by Huang Shuai himself.  Standard, please take a look." Emperor Wanli's customs tax standard is based on the zhang drawing method. If the ship is one foot or six feet wide, five taels of silver will be collected for each foot. For each additional foot of width thereafter, an additional five taels of silver will be levied. Under this standard  Next, a boat measuring six feet tall is worth eighty taels of silver, a boat measuring seven feet tall is worth ninety-three taels of silver, a boat measuring eight feet tall is worth one hundred and eighty taels of silver The largest ship measuring two feet six feet is worth ten taels.  One foot, each ship should collect two hundred and sixty taels of silver. However, Huang Shi did not intend to collect taxes according to this standard. The thing he most admired about Emperor Wanli was that he was shameless when it came to money, so Huang Shi was determined to carry this point forward. Liu Qingyang said  Distributing the charging standards to the merchants, he read loudly: "A ship with a foot of six feet. Jinghai's tax silver is one thousand taels. A ship with a foot of seven feet, Jinghai's tax silver of one thousand two hundred taels Two feet of six feet."  Ship, Jinghai tax is 6,200 taels." Several businessmen in the group who mainly engaged in maritime trade all looked ashen. Huang Shi and Liu Qingyang had already calculated carefully, even if such a high tax was imposed,  The sea trade is probably still profitable, but about half of the profits are taken away by Funing Town. Anyway, Funing Town has the final say on the amount of Jinghai tax. When the time comes, the Taiwan Strait will be blocked. Anyone found to have tax evasion will be confiscated.  Ships and goods. "General Liu, the Jinghai tax is too high. A large number of Xiao Xiao will take risks. Once they succeed in tax evasion, serious businessmen will not be able to compete with them." Liu Qingyang knew that these businessmen were right.  Logically speaking, such crazy taxation will definitely make many people risk their lives for smuggling. Although this kind of smuggling group will also take great risks, the profit margin of honest merchants is too low, and the sea trade may face sea disasters.  and other risks. About 60% to 70% of the profits will be taken away by Funing Town. They will not be able to compete with the smuggling groups. In the long run, serious businessmen will gradually decrease, while smugglers will continue to increase. In the end, sea trade profits will still flow to smuggling.  In the hands of businessmen, Funing Town cannot benefit from it. Funing Town needs to rely on sea taxes to develop its navy. And smugglers will also use profits to form private armed forces, which will eventually turn into violent tax resistance sooner or later. If there are too few serious businessmen, smuggling will  If the power is too rampant, it will create a large number of pirates in the new land, and they will be pirates who can get the support of countless businessmen behind them. "The shares obtained by the council will be used for military expenses, so everyone who joins the council is a volunteer."  Businessmen, Huang Shuai will never forget all you businessmen." Liu Qingyang said and took out a second tax bill. The businessmen saw that the land tax on this tax bill was only about one-third of the first one.  The smallest one, one foot six feet, costs 360 taels of silver, while a two foot six feet boat charges two thousand taels of silver. Although this price is still high, it is much better than taking the risk of having the cargo confiscated by Funing Town.  , several merchants engaged in maritime trade glanced at each other. They all nodded slightly. As long as the Funing Town Navy is strong enough, it is estimated that more than 90% of the merchants will choose to pay taxes to cross the border. "Dare to ask General Liu, this  Why is there such a big gap between the tax bill and the previous one?  "This tax bill is for Yi merchants, that is, benefits for council members. Huang Shuai believes that all businessmen who buy Yi merchant ships are also Yi merchants. Therefore, we in Funing Town have designed these two tax bills.  The second tax bill will apply to those who own boats that are members of the board of directors, and the first tax bill will apply to those who use boats manufactured by merchants outside the council." This policy was also thought out by Huang Shi, and Liu Qingyang cheered when he heard it.  The merchants didn't react for a while. Many people were still frowning and thinking about the meaning. Liu Qingyang loudly explained to them: "Gentlemen, when we eliminate the pirates and start to collect the Jinghai tax land, what do you think?  Where would Ming merchants come to buy ships?  "After saying this, some people below finally began to show expressions of enlightenment. Soon this sudden awakening turned into many expressions such as ecstasy, excitement, and shock. Liu Qingyang smiled again and said: "Gentlemen, don't talk about all the businessmen of Ming Dynasty when the time comes.  , even the red barbarians from all over the world will come to buy boats with you." After letting everyone digest the huge information contained in these words, Liu Qingyang further explained: "Huang Shuai also said that since the bosses are willing to hire Fu  If there are craftsmen in Ningzhen, then we have the obligation to help them find buyers. Please think about it, when merchants from all over the Ming Dynasty and Hongyi from all over the world come to buy boats from you, those who make sails and iron nails will  Land boss, are you still worried about not being able to sell your goods?  "There was an uproar again below. Many people originally only thought of buying land in Funing Town, but if everything is true as Liu Qingyang said, then when Huangshi starts to take over JinghaiIn the end, their land business was not just a land business. For Huangshi, he naturally hoped that these merchants' business would become bigger and bigger. In addition to the Jinghai tax, Huangshi was also waiting to tax the merchants and workers personally.  As for income tax. "Gentlemen, gentlemen, please pay attention." Liu Qingyang stretched out a finger and kept shaking it to attract everyone's attention. Everyone was attracted to lean forward and hold their breath to listen to him. Liu Qingyang spoke loudly.  Said: "Don't forget that once you join the council, in principle, you can only purchase goods within the council. And you are not allowed to lower prices maliciously, so the sales and prices of all bosses will be guaranteed." The businessmen had another meal.  Nodding, some of them anxiously began to ask Liu Qingyang for the details of the Dark Council. Others could no longer hold their breath, and started talking quietly with their familiar friends. Liu Qingyang didn't want to disturb them, so he wanted to leave this boiling place.  Liu Qingyang waited for Liu Qingyang to wait for Liu Qingyang to wait for Liu Qingyang to wait for Liu Qingyang to wait for Liu Qingyang to wait for Liu Qingyang.  When he came back with Shi Ce, the businessmen had already discussed it. Liu Qingyang first introduced Shi Ce to everyone: "This is General Shi Ce, the current coastal defense guerrilla in Funing Town, and he is also the deputy of General Yu Zigao.  , in the future he will be responsible for commanding one-third of the navy in Funing Town. General Shi will be directly responsible for collecting Jinghai taxes and destroying pirates in northern Fujian." The businessmen immediately became flattering, and Shi Ce first spoke to everyone in Fujian dialect  After a few polite words, he introduced himself gracefully: "Brother, I am originally from northern Fujian, and my uncles and elders were also pirates from northern Fujian. Ten years ago, we were wiped out by General Yu's Penghu Navy.  , I was exiled to Liaodong because of my young age. I followed orders under Huang Shuai, and this time I returned to my hometown. Now, under the orders of the commander, I worked with Old General Yu to encircle and suppress the pirates. I talked about the situation ten years ago.  At that time, we were all very emotional." After hearing this tortuous experience, the businessmen all lamented the friendship between Shi Ce and Yu Zigao, and then they asked about some of the regulations of the Dark Council.  Details, for example, many people are confused by the word "most favorable", and these two words often appear in the regulations of the Dark Council. "The so-called 'most favorable' means automatically enjoying all preferential conditions. For example, all councils  The members are all the most favorable merchants in Funing Town, that is to say, if Funing Town gives any merchant a preferential condition, then all council members will automatically enjoy this preferential treatment." Liu Qingyang glanced at Shi Ce when he said this, and then  He added: "The Jinghai tax also has a most favorable issue. Let me introduce it to General Shi." Shi Ce took a step forward and said with a straight chest: "Gentlemen, the ships manufactured by the council members will automatically receive the 'most favorable'  In addition to the existing tax exemptions and the tax exemptions that may be formulated in the future, the Jinghai tax qualification also comes with a tax reduction ratio, which is the Jinghai tax that the council needs to pay for local and sea ships manufactured by the council.  It is one-third of that of ships outside the council, that is, no matter how the specific tax of the most favored ship is increased, other ships will always have to pay three times the tax of the most favored ship; regardless of how the specific tax is reduced,  The most favorable ships will always pay the lowest taxes!  "After Shi Ce finished speaking, he stepped back and stood up. Liu Qingyang nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and asked the businessmen: "Do you have any questions?  "An old businessman twisted his long beard and coughed, and said slowly: "General Liu. I am worried that within ten years, or at most twenty years, other shipyards will close down. It will be fine under the Ming Dynasty.  If Hongyi proposes similar regulations, maritime merchants will face a dilemma. Either they will pay more taxes here, or they will pay more taxes in Manila, and they will have to smuggle one of the ships they buy." Liu Qingyang smiled, and turned his head to  Shi Ce said: "General Shi, please tell me." Shi Ce put his hands behind his back, took a big step forward boldly, and said loudly and energetically: "Gentlemen, we in Funing Town believe in all the people in the world.  Businessmen are all equal. Of course, these businessmen in the council are righteous businessmen, so they will be more equal than other businessmen!  "In short, Funing Town is opposed to all forms of unequal competition. If there are barbarians who try to impose unequal competition or unreasonable fees on Da Mingyi merchants" Shi Ce kept his hands behind his back.  , his waist was still straight, he slowly turned his body, and said in an unquestionable and calm tone: "On behalf of Huang Shuai and Funing Town, I promise you that we will definitely carry out a forceful crusade to ensure the great Mingyi Shang.  Equality of land rights shall not be violated!  ""Eradicate the pirates and restore a bright future to Fujian Province!  "The merchants in Daming have always been timid and polite, but when they left Funing Town today, they all shouted indignantly.
