The door fell down, and a group of people in tattered clothes stumbled out of the door.
These people were barely clothed, their bodies were charred, and they were as lost as walking zombies. ah! ah!
Woo! Yeah! He didn't know what he was shouting. Apparently he was mentally disturbed. Obviously, the power of the heartless cannon just now was too terrifying and scared these people crazy.
No one went to kill them, watching these insane people rolling and crawling away. Zhang Shize waved his hand, and Man Gui immediately rushed into Jinong's mansion with his soldiers.
At this time, there was no need to fight. In a bombing of this scale, even if the people inside were not killed, they had lost the courage to resist.
It was obvious that Zhang Shize gave Man Gui a chance to make a meritorious deed, and capturing the fortune-telling rabbit alive was a great achievement. Zhang Shize is very good at winning over people, and if Man Gui voted for him, there would be immediate benefits.
Man Gui's face flushed with excitement. He came from a grassroots background and never had any strong backers. This time, a blessing in disguise turned out to be the British government.
He was gearing up to perform well. He didn't expect the benefits to arrive so soon, and he was so happy that he almost wanted to scratch his head.
Look, this is an old noble, and he is generous in his actions. I have lived in vain for more than thirty years.
Today I finally found Duke Ming. Man Gui and others rushed into Jinong Mansion, immediately making the eyes of the other three general soldiers turn red with envy.
They all cursed in their hearts that this black guy was lucky. He is from a Tatar and has always been shameless. This made Mr. Zhang feel comfortable.
Man Gui has a natural image of an evil slave. He is not only a general soldier, but also a good material as a thug. Mangui took a look into the yard and gasped. There were mansions here and there. Outside the burning wooden building, there were explosion craters everywhere.
There were many broken limbs and broken arms, and those who were injured but not dead were still moaning.
"Search for me and I'll definitely find the lost rabbit." Man Gui roared viciously with his face trembling.
His personal barracks are all on the same side as him, and they all follow the evil route. Start looking around immediately.
Not long after, cheers came from the backyard garden, and Mangui hurried over. It turns out that there is a cellar under the rockery, which is entirely made of stone.
"Come out quickly, otherwise the poisonous fireball will be thrown." Baihu Changwei shouted loudly. With a whoosh, a hand-held crossbow arrow shot out from the exit under the cover and flew past Chang Wei's cheek.
Chang Wei jumped up in fright.
"It's his grandma's fault. You old boy, Bu Shutu, won't die until you reach the Yellow River. Throw fireworks at me." Chang Wei was angry. He was so scary, but they were not afraid.
This is really unreasonable. A dozen fireworks bombs were thrown down. There was an explosion of bang bang bang. Chang Wei immediately covered the cover and asked the soldiers to shovel the soil to cover the cover.
It was like a pot was exploding inside, and there was chaos. There were violent coughs and the cries of women and children.
Soon the people inside couldn't stand it anymore. This kind of poisonous smoke is unbearable. The people below began to smash the cover from the inside.
Chang Wei looked at it and opened the cover directly. Everyone inside rushed out in droves. After running more than a dozen steps, they fell to the ground, coughing and breathing in fresh air.
At this time, they also lost the will to resist. Until an old man in his sixties, wearing a gold-embroidered uniform, was brought out.
Mangui knew that this was Jinong himself. What he didn't expect was that there were more than a dozen Taiji and their family papers in this huge underground space.
Now they are all prisoners. In the West Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, Chongzhen frowned and looked gloomy. Things were not going well for the Qing army.
Now, without Duke Wei, the true financial situation of Ming Dynasty was immediately exposed. Now Ming Dynasty must cut spending, otherwise the government will go bankrupt.
Now both officials and soldiers are in arrears with their salaries and wages. Some have even been in arrears for two years.
I really don’t know what these people below do for a living. The emperor was distraught. He knows that it is not a good thing to go without salary for a long time. If this continues, big trouble will happen.
Now, he has asked Donglin's cabinet several times to discuss tax increases, but to no avail. Li Biao and others had many reasons. In short, now was not the time. After all, Wei Zhongxian had just been pushed to the throne and all his plans were abolished.
Now we are turning around and promulgating new taxes. Isn’t this a slap in the face? Since we can't open source, we can only reduce expenditures.
The largest current financial expenditure is military expenditure, which is also one of the emperor's motives for agreeing to the Qing army. At present, Li Banghua, the Minister of War, takes the lead and has become the leading organization of the Qing army. It sits in Wuying Hall and coordinates the Qing army's policies.
Li Banghua decided to operate on Jizhen, the No. 1 town in the world, first. This place is right at the emperor's feet, easy to control, and any problems can be dealt with in time.
Li Banghua first went to Wang Yingzhi, the governor of Shuntian, to get a thorough understanding of the situation in Jizhen. The boundaries of Ji Town and Shuntian Mansion overlap somewhat.
The Shuntian Prefecture was established in the capital, responsible for the management of Daxing and Wanping counties within the walls of the capital, roughly equivalent to today's Dongcheng District and Xicheng District.
Outside the capital city walls, there are dozens of prefectures and counties. In order to strengthen the management of the Gyeonggi area, the Shuntian Governor was established in Zunhua to manage all other areas of Shuntian Prefecture except the capital.
Yongping Mansion was sometimes under the jurisdiction of Governor Shuntian, and sometimes it was independent. Wang Yingzhi felt uneasy about Li Banghua's inquiry.
He came up by flattering Duke Wei, but he rose too quickly and his foundation was unstable. Wang Yingzhi, courtesy name Huiwen, was born in Ye County.
In the second year of Tianqi's reign, he was promoted to Jinshi and appointed as the head of the household department. Because he flattered Wei Zhongxian, he was promoted to the governor of Shuntian in only three years and was appointed as the censor of Youdu.
However, this person hedged his bets and burned a lot of trouble with King Xin's faction. As a result, he actually escaped the purge storm in the first year of Chongzhen.
Now he is still firmly seated as governor of Shuntian. He was opposed to any Qing army from the bottom of his heart. Are you full after eating? You have nothing to do.
He just wanted to be an official and get through this sensitive period safely. However, he did not dare to object.
Because he knew that Dong Lin couldn't find the fault he wanted to find. If he dared to object, wouldn't he be giving pillows to people for their naps?
Governor Yuan has always wanted to remove the last eunuch from Jizhen and replace him with one of his own. At this moment, he no longer dared to object.
But he is a sensible person and knows clearly that if Donglin and his gang can't accomplish this, something will happen. Because it's very simple. Jiubian's military expenditure of one million taels a year and Tianqi Dynasty's military expenditure were in arrears for more than six months, and for two years.
Originally, everyone was waiting for Chongzhen to reissue it to everyone. But now it has been two years since Chongzhen, and there is no Mao.
Wang Yingzhi knew exactly why Chongzhen could not pay for military expenses. This reason was purely caused by Chongzhen himself.
