"Brother means to borrow soldiers from them?"

"It's not about borrowing troops, it's just a united force!"

Heroes are always heroes. They will not be influenced by other people's views on right and wrong. They can show their sharpness and move in the nine heavens, or they can endure it and hide in the mud.

The one who opposes the hero is a hero. For example, Chu Bawang, he is a hero. However, if he gives Chu Bawang 10,000 chances, he will not be able to defeat Liu Bang.

Because Liu Bang is a hero, he can fail ten thousand times, and every failure is growth, but the hero has a distinct view of right and wrong, and life and death are nothing in the face of principles. Therefore, there are allusions of not eating food that comes from pity, and there are also poems about thinking about Xiang Yumao and refusing to pass the East.

Zheng Zhilong is a hero. In the principle of a hero, that is, there is no principle. In order to defeat his enemy Liu Mingyu, Zheng Zhilong can use all means, such as accepting assistance from the Spanish. Of course, the assistance from the Spanish is naturally not without conditions, which is more unacceptable than the food given to him.

However, Zheng Zhilong swallowed it in one bite without any scruples and grew rapidly.

The Liu family army fired hundreds of artillery together and quickly killed the Zheng fleet. After years of construction, it now has 32 large ships of 10,000 materials. Even the main warships of the Westerners have no advantage.

What's more, the artillery of the Liu family army was even sharper at this time, and even Huang Taiji became pessimistic and desperate. He once asked someone to hint to Chongzhen that the Jin Dynasty could surrender to the Ming Dynasty, that is, surrender with conditions.

However, the problem is that Emperor Chongzhen was not a magnanimous person. He wanted to surrender when the situation was unfavorable. If you can, Huang Taiji could come to Beijing to discuss in person.

What an international joke? Huang Taiji went to Beijing, so why didn’t he let Chongzhen knead him?

So, the matter had to be left alone.

Zheng Zhilong had no idea about this. He was determined to find the place. He needed to be armed and supported by the Spanish, but he wanted to let the Dutch, Portuguese and even the British fight together.

...

Liu Mingyu didn't know Zheng Zhilong's situation. At this time, he was keen on one thing, using a pen to fight against those people who were even more amazing. Although Liu Mingyu ended up alone, his pen name was often changed.

From Liu Mingyu at the beginning, to "Master Tianpeng is more handsome than you." "Nongfu Spring has a bit of fields", "Baota River Demon" and so on, now he has played new tricks.

After the initial silence, Liaodong had become the main battlefield for the scholars of Jiangnan. Some Jiangnan literati and scholars took their servants to Jinzhou, Liaodong, and took advantage of the advantages of time and place to target the Liaodong Business Times after the release of the Liaodong Business Times, they wrote poems and articles to confront Liu Minghui.

The sharpness of the lyrics, the viciousness of cursing, and the powerful ability to reverse right and wrong are all eye-opening. Those vicious articles that can curse him to the point of being absent from the clan also flew over like snowflakes. He was embarrassed to go out and say hello to others if he didn't receive one or two hundred articles a day.

The key to the problem is that Liu Mingyu couldn't understand these articles and poems at all. Fortunately, Liu Mingyu had a group of secretaries, led by Yang Wan'er, Hongchen and Wushuang. As Liu Mingyu's secretary, they were responsible for handling some daily documents for Liu Mingyu.

After Yang Wan'er's explanation to Liu Mingyu, Liu Mingyu realized how ugly these gentry scolded him. Even Hongchen and Wushuang were so angry that their faces were pale, their bodies trembled, and they couldn't speak for a long time.

"Don't be angry, being angry with those gangs is too expensive!"

Liu Mingyu smiled disapprovingly and said, "They wrote articles and scolded me, and I just scolded me when I wrote articles and scolded me. I just swear by the lawsuit, it's just hurting each other. It's up to see who can't stand it first. I've never been afraid of anyone in this regard!"

Yang Wan'er said with a lot of laughter and cry: "Master, you can't even understand your literary talent, and you still want to scold me?"

Yang Wan'er thought for a while, gritted her teeth and lifted her pen, "Master, come and read it, I will write it for you, and I will scold you until they vomit blood!"

Liu Mingyu shook his head repeatedly: "It's boring to scold them. The best way is to let the whole world know what kind of bad guys they are, and let the whole world scold them. This will be more interesting!"

Soon the Liaodong Business Times published an article with the signature "I am really not Qian Qianyi". This article did not talk about any major principles, but used the most straightforward words and data to list the various preferential treatments a scholar enjoyed and the heavy taxes a farmer pays every year.

There are also the annual income of the Ming merchants and the amount of taxes and silver paid.

The data are extremely detailed and clear at a glance. The author did not comment on this. Most of the articles with thousands of words are listed as numbers, giving examples. However, once published, this article immediately set off a terrible storm.

Needless to say, the various preferential treatments received by scholars in the Ming Dynasty were given. Let’s put it this way. As long as a person passes the exam, he will begin to have considerable privileges. He does not have to bow down to the officials or perform labor service. Every year, the government will also pay silver for money.

After passing the imperial examination, it was even more amazing. My aunts, sisters, sisters, and two uncles would come to offer their own land and evade taxes with confidence.

Of course, the benefits will not be missing. If he becomes an official, there is no need to mention that he becomes an official. Even if he is temporarily dismissed from the official position and is unemployed at home, he will still be able to keep money in his pockets, especially those who are driven back by the emperor.

In the Ming Dynasty, being dismissed from office by the emperor because of contradicting the emperor was a great deal of shame. It took a few years to go back and continue to become an official. In comparison, ordinary people can only describe their life as "terrible"...

The article is still written in plain language. As long as a literate person reads it, even an illiterate person can understand it. It is precisely because of this that this article quickly set off a terrible storm.

The people gather around the newspaper readers, and their eyes become redder the more they hear. We have worked so hard that we can't even eat enough for a year. You scholars are leisurely and leisurely all day long, and you don't have to do anything and have the government to support you. Why?

When they heard that Jiangnan paid only a few hundred taels of commercial tax in a year, they were about to explode. Who wouldn't know that Jiangnan was rich in the world? He didn't want to pay a penny of tax in such a rich place, but they were so poor that they wanted to sell their children and daughters to make up the tax. Is that fair?

There is no harm without comparison. This article has successfully caused tons of damage to hundreds of millions of people.

When those scholars and scholars talked in front of everyone again and criticized Liu Mingyu and others for their atrocities in killing gentry, a bunch of tiles would immediately fly over: "What the hell do you mean? The lives of you scholars are valuable, right? The lives of us poor people are also life!"

Is this over?

No, this is just the beginning.

From then on, the Liaodong Business Times became a data party and did not comment on someone's behavior at all. For example, today's newspaper headlines revealed a capable Donglin Party leader. According to Wei Zhongxian's Donglin spot record, this boss was Sun Shenxing, the former Minister of Rites.

The main content of the article is to reveal how Sun Shenxing saved billions of wealth by evading taxes and living a life of extravagance and desire.

The person who wrote this article is really capable. He even checked clearly how much money he made in a month, how much tax he evaded, and how much money he spent to collect on a certain year, month and day.

The core idea is: Look, these bastards spend much more than the tax they should pay, but they just don’t want to pay, and they are forcing us ordinary people to pay!

Although these matters are not confidential, it is not easy to find out so clearly, but Liu Mingyu did it and took off their underwear with almost no effort!

Hell, did he put eyeliner on everyone's mansion? If so, it would be terrible!

After thinking wrongly, Liu Mingyu was not interested in this. He bought all the information from the Jinyiwei for money. The Jinyiwei no longer had the majesty of the early Ming Dynasty, but the centipede insect died without being stiff. It might be a bit difficult for them to steal military and national intelligence, but it was not a problem to ask them to check the color of the underwear that Big Boss Donglin wore tonight.

Liu Mingyu gave a very generous reward. This kind of low-risk and high-reward life has always been everyone's favorite. Jiangnan Jinyiwei has transformed into the most professional paparazzi. If you want to check, just tell me which one they want to do. I guarantee that you can find out all the scandals of their ancestors for the 18th generation!

The article in the Liaodong Business Times is written in a simple and straightforward manner, and it cannot be seen by the scholars and officials, but ordinary people like it!

Most ordinary people don’t know a basket of words that are big watermelons. Who can understand what you are? It’s better to write vernacular, you can understand it at a glance, and you can understand it at a glance! Therefore, the “unliterate” Liaodong Business Times has been out of control, and the circulation has increased steadily.

With the storm during this period, the newspaper became famous. The circulation volume increased from 200,000 copies at the beginning, and in just over a month, it increased to 130,000 copies, and quickly gained the right to speak among the poor people.

What does the circulation of 100,000 newspapers mean? This means that if this newspaper wants to hack someone, just one article can turn it into ink!

Even if only one out of ten newspapers believes that, that’s ten thousand, and you will drown in one mouthful of saliva!

As for the current situation, at least in terms of shamelessness and selfishness among the gentry, the newspaper supports more than one-tenth of them, which is two or three hundred percent.

Don’t forget that behind every newspaper, there are people who can’t afford to buy newspapers, listening to the newspaper readers read the articles to them with relish.

The newspaper not only exposes the extravagant desires of the Donglin Party, but also takes out some political measures in the Wanli, Tianqi and Chongzhen dynasties to whip the corpses. Once these things are written in vernacular and analyzed, most people will understand them, and then there will be a lot of curses.

"You guys are filled with soy milk, right? Are you doing this like that?"

The person who knows you best will always be your enemy.

As Liu Mingyu's enemy, that is the bureaucratic group, and they are also the people who know Liu Mingyu the most.

Fortunately, what made the bureaucratic group very at ease was that Liu Mingyu had been going further and further on the road of committing suicide, and he seemed to be trying to offend everyone in the world.

For example, salt.

The salt industry is actually based on the rise of Shanxi merchants. In the early Ming Dynasty, the implementation of the Kaizhong French system provided strong conditions and good opportunities for Shanxi salt merchants.

The salt industry has always been monopolized in the hands of Shanxi merchants. From Liaodong, Xuanfu, Datong, Yansui, Taiyuan, Gansu, Ningxia, Xi'an, Hanzhong, Yan'an, Fengxiang, Guide, Henan, Runing, Huaiqing, Nanyang, from the northeast, to the northwest, and then to the Central Plains, it is almost all the salt markets of Shanxi merchants.
