137 The enemy is clear and we are secret
Han Shengcai said with a serious look on his face: "It's Ningxia Ma Shilong!"
"Ah..." When Cao Huachun heard this, even though he was very cunning, he couldn't help but speak out in surprise.
You know, the current Ma Shilong is the Prime Minister's army in the northwest to serve the king. He was given Shangfang's sword by Emperor Chongzhen. He also had a good relationship with Sun Chengzong, and his influence almost spread to the entire border army.
Hu Guang inherited the memories of Emperor Chongzhen and naturally knew about Ma Shilong. After a little recollection, he immediately realized that Ma Shilong was indeed as if he had the help of gods. It was a miracle to quickly advance along the way.
Han Shengcai was afraid that the emperor would not believe it, so he explained in detail: "This Ma Shilong was a martial artist and was a capable person. Therefore, when he was a guerrilla in Xuanfu, he was attracted by them and became their representative in the army. Therefore, he was at a high position at the age of 34."
Hu Guang nodded when he heard this. Ma Shilong's promotion was a miracle. When he thought about it carefully, it seemed that he had no particular contribution. Instead, Liu He had suffered a crushing defeat, but it had no big impact on his official career. Even if he lost power for a while, he could get up quickly. If there was no interest group behind him, he would believe it!
When Han Shengcai saw the emperor nodding and believed that he had exposed the big information, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised and continued, "This Ma Shilong is indeed a capable person, but His Majesty can make people investigate. He has no achievements in the war between the enemy because he is the representative of the Shanxi merchants in the army."
This was similar to what Hu Guang thought just now, and he nodded slightly again. As expected! If Hu Guang had remembered the history of later generations, he would have confirmed this idea further.
In the original history, Ma Shilong soon returned home after this war, and therefore he did not appear in the war against the enemy. Instead, he performed well in the war against the Mongolian Tartars later.
Moreover, Ma Shilong's family was very good after entering the Qing Dynasty. A large group of generals and admirals were highly valued by Kangxi.
Hu Guang suddenly thought of a very serious problem, his face suddenly became serious, and he immediately asked, "Where is Sun Chengzong? Sun Chengzong also strongly recommended Ma Shilong at the time. Does Sun Chengzong have any problems?"
If Sun Chengzong had problems, then the matter would be a big deal, because almost all the military forces except the capital were controlled by Ma Shilong and Sun Chengzong. Compared with Ma Shilong, Sun Chengzong had a greater influence.
Fortunately, Han Shengcai shook his head after hearing this and said, "No, Lord Sun appreciates Ma Shilong's talent, and there is no interest between the two. Caomin remembers that Shanxi merchants had been filial to Lord Sun before, but they were rejected!"
Hu Guang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. It must be because he was too nervous. Sun Chengzong had been fighting on the front line of the enemy. How could it be from the Shanxi merchant group?
If he had remembered that Sun Chengzong would rather die than surrender to Jianlu and finally sacrificed these details, he would probably not have been astonished as before.
After hesitating for a moment, Han Sheng said again: "Actually, Ma Shilong has the ability, but his strength is actually reflected in his many elite servants. The money he used to maintain servants was provided by the Shanxi merchants."
Hu Guang nodded after hearing this. The family system in the late Ming Dynasty was indeed strange. If we wanted to revive the Ming Dynasty, this military system must be changed.
It seems that it is worth coming here today, and Han Sheng is very good. Thinking of this, Hu Guang said to him kindly: "You said something very valuable and did a good job. I am very satisfied. Don't miss what you know, even the details, and tell Cao Daban."
"As for the order!" Han Shengcai quickly agreed. He had reached this point and had no way out.
Hu Guang turned his head to look at Cao Huachun and said to him: "Big partner, you must protect him well and not let people from the outside world know that he is in the East Factory for the time being. This matter is of great importance, do you understand?"
"I know, I will definitely not let people know." Cao Huachun obviously knew the importance and immediately responded.
Hu Guang was a little worried. After thinking about it for a moment, he transferred half of the guards present, including Chen Er, to Cao Huachun, and asked them to protect Han Shengcai in person.
After arranging these things, Hu Guang stood up and prepared to leave. However, he quickly remembered something, turned around and looked at Han Sheng who had been helped up and said, "The name of the Piao number is too narrow, I don't want to use it."
When Han Sheng heard that he was familiar with the field, he immediately focused on listening to the emperor's words.
"I have thought about it. The one controlled by the imperial court in the future will be called the Central Bank of the Ming Dynasty. The bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank of the bank
Hu Guang thought about it. At present, professional talents are indispensable if you want to build a bank as soon as possible. At present, people from the Ming Dynasty are familiar with banking business, but others are not good enough. Only by training and training bank account practitioners with the prototype of banking can they achieve twice the result with half the effort.
As Hu Guang said before, Han Shengcai was very interested in finance, so when he heard Hu Guang say these words, he couldn't help but feel itchy. From the emperor's naming, he could feel that the emperor attached great importance to this content, and it seemed that the emperor was also proficient in this area. At this time, he wanted to know what the emperor would do about this bank?
However, the emperor is the emperor after all. He was a criminal who had just been turned into a tainted witness. How could he be qualified to let the emperor tell him all his thoughts? Only by taking care of the body as soon as possible and cooperating with the emperor to get rid of it... after getting rid of the Shanxi merchants.
When Han Sheng thought of this, he couldn't help but think of Han Fan's family. What should I do?
Not to mention how entangled he was, he just talked about Hu Guang's return to the palace and stayed alone in the imperial study room to consider digesting the news he heard.
To be honest, Hu Guang has indeed considered that the Shanxi merchants have a community of interests. If they want to move the Shanxi merchants, they must be in a mess. But what he did not expect was that the Shanxi merchants were so powerful. It seems that to destroy the Shanxi merchants, they must make plans before they act. The current favorable situation is that those people do not know that they are going to take them off, and they are in a state of being open and dark.
When you really start, you must have an army that can shock the local area. The prerequisites for this army must also be loyal. But now, it seems that there is no one.
Hu Guang took a deep breath and calmed down a little impatient. This matter must be taken slowly and not rushed!
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard the eunuch report that the eunuch, the chief eunuch in charge of the Secretariat, requested an interview.
After hearing this, Hu Guang knew that he had something to come to him, so he sent an order to summon him.
