After hearing Zhu Biao speak and someone complimenting him, Han Cheng finally said:
“Prince, these guys calculated well, but unfortunately, they didn’t get any good results.
In other words, that is their best ending. "
As soon as Han Cheng said these words, Zhu Yuanzhang took a reassurance.
However, Emperor Hongwu was also a strong man and did not turn his head back to listen to Han Cheng's story.
Still stubbornly turned aside.
He didn't seem to care about Han Cheng's story.
Regarding Lao Zhu's performance, Han Cheng smiled secretly in his eyes and didn't say much.
"After Li Zicheng's troops entered the capital, many ministers surrendered.
They all also started to welcome King Chuang.
However, Li Zicheng, who broke through the capital, also faced a problem.
There is also a lack of money and food.
He has too many armies to feed.
Coupled with the slogans he shouted before, such as not being on duty and not being paid, Li Zicheng's life was not easy.
There is a big gap in terms of money and food.
How to do it?
Of course, they borrowed it from the wealthy officials and wealthy households of the Ming Dynasty.
Like Emperor Chongzhen, Li Zicheng quickly issued an announcement urging these people to donate money.
He also gave a standard of 100,000 taels for cabinet ministers, ministers, ministers of various ministries, etc., ranging from 30,000 to 50,000 taels.
As soon as such a notice came out, these officials who were happy to welcome King Chuang were immediately confused.
Didn’t you say that King Chuang won’t pay you any food when he comes?
Why are you asking to donate money now?
During the Ming Dynasty, the emperor asked people to donate money. Now that King Chuang is here, he is still asked to donate money. Isn't King Chuang here in vain?
These officials immediately stopped working.
They changed their identities and followed King Chuang to enjoy happiness and keep their wealth, rather than to donate money.
Faced with such a situation, what should we do?
These people have plenty of experience.
After all, they had dealt with Emperor Chongzhen not long ago.
Therefore, these people began to collectively cry about poverty again, and then took out a little money to deal with errands.
In their opinion, this is a foolproof way to handle the matter.
Emperor Chongzhen, the orthodox emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was dealt with by them in this way, let alone a mere King Li Chuang!
Then, these people fell over.
Li Zicheng got such a pitiful amount of money and was immediately furious, feeling that these people were humiliating him!
If you can't do it with words, you'll just use force.
A vigorous torture operation began.
These guys were immediately captured, whips dipped in salt water, beaten to death, burned, and broken legs were all used. .
To be tortured..."
"Good! Good! Good fight!!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been turning his head to one side before, finally couldn't bear it anymore.
He also forgot to vent his anger on Han Cheng.
He turned his head violently, clapped his hands vigorously, and shouted loudly.
Expression of excitement.
"Well done! Kill these sons of bitches!!
Li Zicheng did a good thing! "
Zhu Yuanzhang rarely praised Li Zicheng.
From this we can see how much Zhu Yuanzhang hated the corrupt officials of the Ming Dynasty.
Although Prince Zhu Biao did not speak, it could be seen from the changes in his expression that he also felt extremely relieved about such a result.
Han Cheng stood here with a smile on his face, waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to vent some of his emotional excitement before he continued:
"Do you know how much money Li Zicheng made from this torture?"
Through previous conversations, Zhu Biao already knew some of Han Cheng's problems.
I know that when he says this, someone needs to follow up, otherwise, he will not continue.
With his father's temper, he would naturally not do such a thing.
So, it still has to fall on him.
"Ten million taels?"
Zhu Biao spoke wisely and gave an amount that he thought was very large.
Now, there is a shortage of money in Ming Dynasty, and money is very valuable.
In addition, when his descendant, Emperor Chongzhen, was collecting donations, he could only raise 200,000 taels of silver.
Therefore, Zhu Biao felt that ten million taels was already a lot.
This is the result of what he said in as big a way as possible.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang on the side did not speak, he made a certain assessment of this in his heart.
The psychological expectation he came up with was similar to what Zhu Biao said.
They are all around 10 million taels.
After Zhu Biao said the number, the two couldn't help but look at Han Cheng.
As a result, Han Cheng shook his head.
"What? Did I say too much?"
Zhu Biao said subconsciously.
He also felt that the amount of ten million taels was too large.
"Then... five million taels?"
Zhu Biao immediately halved the number.
Han Cheng shook his head again.
Seeing that Zhu Biao still wanted to reduce the number, Han Cheng stopped letting Zhu Biao guess.
He was worried that Zhu Biao would guess less and less.
At that moment, he stretched out his finger towards Zhu Biao and made an eight sign.
"Eight million taels?"
Zhu Biao was shocked when he said this number.
These guys are really rich!
So much greed! !
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but secretly clenched his fists, feeling that these guys really deserved to die!
How many people must have been harmed and how many holes must have been drilled into Ming Dynasty to embezzle so much money!
After hearing what Zhu Biao said, Han Cheng shook his head secretly. Although father and son, Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu, were not simple, they were not courageous enough or big-hearted enough when it came to money and corrupt officials.
I underestimated those corrupt officials in the late Ming Dynasty.
It’s only eight million taels, who are you looking down on?
This seriously underestimates the business capabilities of these corrupt officials in the late Ming Dynasty.
"No, it's nearly 80 million taels."
As soon as these words were spoken, the indignant Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu were both stunned.
"hiss!"
"Hiss~!"
After being quiet for a while, the sounds of cold air could be heard one after another in the Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao and his son were all shocked by the number Han Cheng said!
I thought that when they mentioned the number of 10 million taels, they were as high as possible. I felt that this number was outrageous enough.
Who would have thought that it was still so far behind!
These guys actually made so much money!
"These people are all very rich. Not to mention the rest, Zhou Kui, the head of the state of Chongzhen, who cried poverty in front of the emperor's son-in-law and asked for money, was directly cashed out with more than 500,000 silver, and Jewelry worth more than 20,000 taels..."
Han Cheng's voice continued to sound, and Zhu Yuanzhang's breathing became heavy again.
These thieves deserve to die!
It's really damn good!
The descendants of the emperor begged them, but they only came up with 200,000 taels. When the traitor came, they immediately produced 80 million taels!
This gap is really huge!
What a bunch of killers, worms!
While he felt extremely angry, he also felt that Li Zicheng was not used to the methods of these corrupt officials, which was very much in line with his wishes.
Should!
These guys deserve it!
"So, the person who replaced our Ming Dynasty and established a new dynasty is Li Zicheng?"
After calming down, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Han Cheng and asked...
