The three ministers looked at each other.
Naturally, they knew that Kang Xi was in a rage and that anything he did would not be excessive. However, they could not help but sigh. This Zhang Mu was really bold.
He captured Yangzhou City and killed the Thirteenth Prince.
Let alone the Great Qing Dynasty.
If it was any other dynasty, this would not stop until one of them died.
You killed the emperor's son. Would the emperor forgive you so easily?
Especially Kang Xi.
Civil administration and martial arts were naturally not a problem.
He had killed his biggest enemy, Dopey Ge. Even though Dopey Ge had died of illness, this didn't stop Kangxi from spreading the word that he was destined to be.
In the end, just as he was promoting the return of destiny, his son died.
Wasn't this a slap in the face?
The pain of losing his son and the slap in his face was enough to make Kang Xi furious.
Ma Qi quickly said," Your Majesty, the most important thing now is to suppress the bandits. We must find the whereabouts of the Mazi Bandits. The imperial court will mobilize the army to exterminate them. It's easy to capture Zhang Mazi alive. We only need to reward him heavily. With a single defeat, the rebels will definitely be disloyal. We only need to issue an imperial edict to capture Zhang Mazi alive and reward him with tens of thousands of gold. Zhang Mazi will definitely be captured alive!”
Kang Xi also knew the reason.
These bandits had only just been organized.
Kang Xi nodded slightly,"As you wish!"”
Looking at Yin Throwing again, Kang Xi suddenly realized that he couldn't see any extra emotions from his son.
There was no anger, no sorrow.
He stood there doing nothing.
It was as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
The one who had died was his younger brother.
At that moment, Kang Xi was furious again."Yin Throwing…"
Yin Throwing was smart and immediately stood in front of Kang Xi,"Your Majesty!"
At that moment, Kang Xi felt extremely exhausted.
Could the Qing Dynasty really be handed over to such a thing?
"All of you can leave!"
……
……
The news of the Yangzhou incident had already spread throughout the entire capital.
The happiest was naturally the eighth Yinsi.
In fact, when Yin Si received the news, it was before Kangxi. Ren Boan, this guy, used his life to send the news to Yin Si as quickly as possible. Then, Yin Si sent the envelope to Yin Si.
"In that case!"
After Yinsi received the news, he was shocked for a long time even though he was good at keeping his composure. After a long time, he slowly said,"Fourth Bro, did you mess up this task?”
"Hehe!" Yin He laughed and quickly said,""That's right. Fourth Brother really thinks he's so capable. Not only did he fail to do his job well, but he even lost Thirteenth Brother. I think the Emperor will definitely punish Fourth Brother severely!”
One of them was the Crown Prince's right-hand man.
This was indeed a good thing for Yinsi.
Especially if he messed up his job, Fourth Brother would also be implicated.
All of a sudden, the left and right arms that Crown Prince Yin had thrown away were cut off. Yinsi's heart was naturally very happy.
He knew very well that the Crown Prince was a good-for-nothing. It had not been a day or two since Kang Xi had disliked him. All these years, he had relied on Fourth Brother and Thirteenth Brother to do things. Now that Fourth Brother and Thirteenth Brother were gone, the true nature of the Crown Prince would definitely be exposed.
The Tenth Prince sighed,""Old Thirteen is a man, what a pity!”
Yin Yi said," Eighth Brother, Ren Boan said that we won't lose a single silver this year. Although Zhang Mu took a lot of it, we won't lose anything this year. I just hope that the Jiangnan Salt Envoy can make it bigger and sell more salt…"
"We have to be careful about this matter. Tell him to be careful and not to spread it out!”
Yinsi said unhurriedly," Jiangnan Salt Envoy is not an ordinary position. There are many people watching him from top to bottom. Boss, the Crown Prince, and even the Emperor are watching him all the time. You have to be careful when you do things!”
"Got it!" Yinsi nodded.
Yinsi continued," I've read Ren Boan's letter. This Zhang Mazi is quite a character. It seems like he knows some military tactics!"”
"It's just a scabies!" "When the Qing soldiers arrive, they will definitely flee!" Yin He said disdainfully.”
Yinsi said unhurriedly,"But, what if the Qing army is defeated?”
"That's impossible, right?" "How many of these bandits can there be? In my opinion, we don't even need many people to completely destroy them!”
"Not necessarily!"
Yinsi slowly said," Ren Boan's letter is very clear about Zhang Mazi's military strategy and tactics. Besides, I am in charge of the Ministry of Revenue. I know very well how much money there is in the Ministry of Revenue. At the moment, it is unlikely for the Qing Dynasty to launch a large-scale attack. There are at least a few thousand rebels. If the Emperor is furious, I think we can arrange for at most 50,000 people. But have you ever thought about what if we lose?”
Lose?
Yinsi and Yinsi felt that it was impossible at the same time.
Yin Si shook his head and said slowly,""Of course, I'm just saying what if. What I mean is that we can't accept this task. We have to let the Crown Prince handle it!”
"Winning is a good thing.”Yinsi smiled." Guess what the Emperor thinks of the Crown Prince?"”
"I still think it's impossible to lose!" Yin Ran shook his head.
"I told you!" Yinsi slowly said,"What if!"”
"If the Crown Prince wins, this Zhang Mazi will have plundered five million taels of silver from Yangzhou City when he left!”"This is not a small sum!" Yin Yi said from the side.”
"Ninth brother, tenth brother!" Yinsi slowly said," We all know what kind of person the Crown Prince is. Capturing Zhang Mazi alive is just a few thousand people. It's not a big contribution. Whatever the Crown Prince's ability is, he will show it sooner or later. Although five million taels of silver is a lot, it's not much. This time, listen to me. If the army is defeated, the Crown Prince will be in big trouble!“
Yin Ni and Yin Ni stopped talking, but at this moment, there was a hurried knock on the door.
Yin Si frowned and called for someone to come in.
He saw a butler walking quickly to Yinsi."Eighth Master, urgent report!"
Yinsi nodded and opened the report in his hand. Then, his eyes widened and he could not believe his eyes.
Seeing the expression on Yinsi's face, Yinsi and Yinsi were stunned for a moment. Yinsi could not help but say,"Eighth brother, what's wrong?"
Yin Si handed the envelope in his hand to Yin He and sighed."Fourth Bro is really in big trouble this time!”
"F * ck!"
When Yin He saw the letter in his hand clearly, he could not help but curse.
This Mazi Zhang was really audacious. After killing the Thirteenth Prince, he even dared to use the Fourth Master and Thirteenth Master's name to go all the way south. He killed his way from Jinling to Jiujiang, demanding food and silver along the way. He even used the name of the imperial envoy to write an IOU.
He even killed an official in Jinling.
How audacious, how audacious.
The officials along the way were all extorted by Zhang Mu.
These memorials were to impeach Fourth Master and Thirteenth Master, but when news of Yangzhou came, they suddenly realized that they had been deceived.
Zhang Mu had at least ten million taels of silver.
