Chapter 630 The hereditary replacement of the first-class national prince "Some people are getting more and more excessive, Song Zhipu, the left servant of the household department, was assassinated on the way to the court!"
”Wen Tiren's hair line has an obvious upward trend, obviously he has entered the December of the seventh year of Chongzhen, and the outside has long been frozen outside, and every day the officials have to pull out of the city at least hundreds of frozen corpses.In such a cold weather, Wen Tiren's heart seemed to be like a fire.Chongzhen's attitude was very ambiguous.Yes, this is an assassination attempt against Quan Xu, he did not express his position, that is, he strictly ordered the Shuntian Mansion Yin Bi to investigate from the strict, he is a Shuntian Mansion Yin, investigating this case, it is obviously beyond the scope of his ability.However, Chongzhen did not let Dali Temple and the Criminal Department intervene.It's an attitude worth playing, and sure enough.The accident appeared, Zhang Chun, one of the executors, was kicked to death by a frightened horse and a horse's hoof, which can be regarded as an accident, so Hou Sui's whole mansion was poisoned, and Wu Zongda's mansion was on fire, this is someone deliberately poisoned and set fire.In Daming, it is very rare to commit murder on the street, because it can trigger an uncontrolled chain reaction, so few people resort to such extreme methods.Even if the demonized Jinyi Wei will not actually kill people in the street, to put it bluntly, once this is opened, then everyone will be in danger.They just arrested the culprit and sent it to prison.Therefore, now Wen Tiren has to be glad that An Xu is fine, if Quan Xu is injured because of this, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."
Who did it?"
Yang Sichang had just returned from Phi Dao, and he still didn't know what was going on in the capital.Wen Tiren smiled bitterly: "Who knows, or the Mongols, or the Jiannu ......"
Wen Tiren now feels faintly afraid of Quan Xu, the key is that he is too capable of fighting, in order to ambush Quan Xu, their arrangements can be said to be very strict, there are assassins who are good at assassination in Huayang Society, and there are artillery soldiers of God Machine, carrying sixteen heavy cannons, which are as powerful as the three-thousand-pound Hongyi cannon.Because it was sold to the imperial court, this kind of artillery added a lot of unnecessary devices, such as cold-cast cannon hoes and gear-type regulators, which weighed more than 500 catties than the field guns used by the whole army.Otherwise, Quan Xu was embarrassed to accept two thousand five hundred taels of silver.Wen Tiren does not understand military affairs, but Chongzhen attaches great importance to armaments, and once took him and other cabinet ministers to visit the military exercises of the Shenji Battalion, thirty or forty artillery salvos, and a small castle that was built on the verge of being built was directly blown into ruins.What's more, there are more than 1,000 musketeers and more than 1,000 cavalrymen, and as a result, these people only caused three lightly wounded and four seriously wounded around Quan Xu.Wen Tiren didn't know that Quan Xu's guards didn't carry heavy machine guns, otherwise, he wouldn't even have to go out of Qingquan Station, and he could directly fight a counterattack on the spot.The theoretical firing range of a semi-automatic rifle is 400 meters, and when firing intensively, it can reach 800 meters.However, the effective firing range of Quanji's field artillery is 2,000 to 2,500 meters, and if it exceeds the limit of gunpowder, it can hit the ultimate range of 3,500 to 4,000 meters.Braving the artillery charge, the guards around Quan Xu are really not enough to die, and more than 300 people want to attack sixteen artillery pieces, which is obviously impossible.Even if they succeed and Quan Xu dies, it will be difficult for them to win, and with Quan Xu's slowly exposed strength, especially the Taiwan garrison, the Luzon garrison, and the garrison of Qiongzhou Mansion, the army in Quan Xu's hands definitely exceeds more than 150,000 horses.If Quan Wook is alive, he can take over these armies, and if Quan Wook is dead, then these armies will be in civil strife, and the impact they have caused is also huge.Wen Tiren didn't know that in history, they killed Mao Wenlong in Dongjiang Town, planting the seeds of destruction for the Ming Dynasty, if it weren't for Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Kongming of the Dongjiang Army who surrendered to Huang Taiji with their artillery and muskets, Huang Taiji would not have the ability to attack at all.Once the whole family army is in turmoil, it is much more terrible than the peasant army, and any brigade of the whole family army can be said to be powerless to fight through a province in the Ming Dynasty."
Now the problem, we must make a truce!"
Wen Tiren looked at Yang Sichang and said, "Otherwise, the imperial court will become a joke in the world!"
”"What is the truce?"
Yang Sichang asked puzzledly: "Let's do it first, I'm afraid Wuwei Hou won't give up!"
”"Follow the example of the Qianguo Mansion, let Quanxushi Town Liaodong, and you can't return to Beijing without an edict!"
Now Wen Tiren feels that it is a little difficult to control Jeon Xu, and he has to adopt a compromise strategy.Mu Ying followed Fu Youde to conquer Yunnan back then, leaving Mu Ying to guard Yunnan, and then guarded Yunnan for generations, whether it was the barbarians in Yunnan, or the invasion of Burma and Annam, Yunnan has always been immovable.Now he has no choice but to adopt such a strategy and throw Liaodong to Quan Xu, and you will be treated as a prince of the country, hereditary replacement."
But will Your Majesty agree?""
Your Majesty will definitely agree!"
Yang Sichang asked hesitantly: "Now, Liaodong is no longer a big deal, even if Your Majesty agrees, will Quan Xu agree?"
”"So, this needs you to talk, let him stop first!"
Wen Tiren was also helpless.As the first assistant of the cabinet, he also knows about the turmoil in the capital, even if he didn't know it at the beginning, he knows it now, Quan Xu didn't do it directly, but offered a reward.Someone posted a bounty, how much is someone's head.If you get the head, you can go and receive the reward.People die for money, birds die for food, and the situation in Beijing has given those who can't survive a new way out.In this case, Song Zhipu, the head of the household, was attacked, and he went out in a sedan chair with twelve attendants and guards, but was shot through the chest with a crossbow arrow.Died on the doorstep, less than twenty steps away.The murderer killed Song Zhipu's servants and attendants in succession, and calmly cut off Song Zhipu's head, whose head was worth 5,000 taels of silver and 5,000 acres of land on the underworld, as well as ten immigration quotas.If it is a period of peace and prosperity, even in this way, it will not be able to make those people in the capital dare to take risks, and now the control of the imperial court has long been much worse than before, not to mention other places, let's talk about Shandong and Liaodong, the influence of the imperial court is far less than that of Quanxu.The so-called politics is compromise.Although Quan Xu was ready to smash the pot, Wen Tiren decisively chose to compromise after he couldn't fight, but there was no way, Quan Xu had already left the capital by boat, and it was estimated that at this time, he had arrived in Liaodong.If you use force to deal with Quan Xu, even if you add up the army of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that it is not Quan Xu's opponent, in this case, compromise is the only choice.Wen Tiren's meaning is very obvious, the Liaodong Imperial Court has handed it over to you to play, and the one-acre and three-point land in Liaodong is your world, we play ours, and you play your own."
Remember, your bottom line is a first-class duke, hereditary replacement, and the world town of Liaodong!""
The lower official knows!"
Yang Sichang said bitterly: "If we wait, we will be left stinking for 10,000 years!"
”Although Yang Sichang went south and north, he never went to Liaodong, at least after Chongzhen occupied Liaodong in three years, although Beijing would freeze to death every winter, and every rainy day was an ocean.However, all the ministers stubbornly believed that Beijing in the Ming Dynasty was the center of world civilization, and Liaodong was nothing more than a wild land.Especially Wen Tiren, since he entered the cabinet, he has never left the city of Beijing, ignoring the changes in the world around him, and he will not care about the earth-shaking changes that have taken place in Liaodong, thousands of miles away.On the evening of the eighth day of December in the seventh year of Chongzhen, Quan Xu successfully arrived at the port of Lushun.Lushun is an ice-free port, and despite the cold weather, it can't stop the enthusiasm of merchants in pursuit of profits.The sky is getting dark, the docks are brightly lit, and the flow of people is weaving, and the port is so busy every day that it stays all night.The lights on the wharf and the searchlights on the lighthouse were not brought by Quan Xu from later generations, but were invented by craftsmen of this era.This kind of gas lamp is covered with glass, and the light emitted can shine on tens of thousands of square meters, dozens of such huge lighthouse-type gas lamps.With the use of steam engines, Lushun Port has also undergone earth-shaking changes, and the biggest change is the appearance of a huge gantry crane.This kind of gantry crane, powered by a steam engine, can lift a maximum of 100,000 catties of heavy objects, which greatly improves the unloading efficiency.In particular, the small train that circulates in the port has become the main force of transportation.Of course, at the peak of the Port Arthur, more than 37,000 stevedores were employed, and now this number has dropped by almost half.If it weren't for the machines, the number would have risen to 100,000.Lushun's throughput is too large, and there are more than 1,000 berths for large ships with more than 10,000 stones.Hundreds of thousands of sea ships dock every day, which greatly prospers the economy of Arthur Kou.The living area of the port has formed a prosperous commercial block, with wine shops, restaurants, hotels, shops, hook fences, tiles, and various places for sailors to relax and entertain.Quanxu did not formulate any laws to restrict Lushun's commercial operations, such as Goolan Wadang, which can be operated legally, but women are not allowed to be forced, and all service personnel must be voluntary.No matter how much net worth you have accumulated, it will definitely not be enough to be punished, this punishment has no upper limit, and anyone who can take risks can also try the law in person.In terms of the prosperity of the business district, these businesses are also very profitable, and when compared with the per capita income, Lushun Port may be the place with the highest per capita income in eastern Liaodong.Since landing on the land of Liaodong, Qin Zhengyang's mouth has not had a chance to close.The changes in Liaodong are too great, Lushun is Lushun, Jinzhou is Jinzhou, originally the two were more than 100 miles apart, but now it is good, it is no longer clear whether it is Jinzhou or Lushun, there is no difference between the two.Although it was night, at a glance, Liaodong was like the sky, full of stars and flashing lights.PS: Now I just know that today is Tanabata, send a late blessing: I wish everyone a happy date and have fun.Single friends, in fact, are not a kind of happiness.
