Chapter 363 New System
In the meeting hall in the village city, all the retainers are participating in the assessment.
"As for those remaining Qianlong clan and other tributaries, the territory will be confiscated and they will be dispersed and distributed to various parts of the Luo family territory. At that time, you will assist Heiji Dongxiang to deal with this matter." Masayoro's words determined the fate of these people.
"My subordinates must have devoted their efforts to the Luo family until they die." Yuanchengji Nobuyuki immediately leaned over and said. He was moved and extremely frightened. What moved was that his family had obtained the orthodox inheritance of the Qianlong family. Although this was only decided by the king of the country, it was almost a foregone conclusion when the Qianlong family was destroyed. So he was very moved. He was frightened by the concerns about the orphans of the clans who would be circulated everywhere in the Luo family's territory and the tribesmen of the other tribes. Although the king of the country would definitely settle everything for them, they would soon live peacefully again after they arrived in a new place. However, after these people were dispersed, it was almost difficult for them to gather together again, and the final result was that the clan that was equivalent to theirs almost destroyed. This was a slow way of extermination.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel creepy. The head of the family made this move was too cruel. At the same time, he was very grateful for his position as the right team. Although according to the laws of the territory, the family's military strength and income would be severely reduced, at least the clan was saved. It would be fine if the territory was confiscated and became state-owned. Anyway, the family could obtain one-tenth of tax revenue from it, and there was no problem in maintaining the family's survival. Moreover, as he made more merits, the more fiefs he had to bring. As long as the tribe members were allowed to manage these territories well, the tax revenue would be large. This was almost the same as they had completely owned territory in the past.
"Well, the territory of the Qianlong family of the Yuan Dynasty will be rewarded to you." Zhengliang continued after thinking about it.
Just as Nobuyin Yuanzheiji thought, Masayoshi weakened the armed forces of these wealthy families through the laws of the territory. Just think about it, according to the laws of the territory, the wealthy families only had management rights and no ownership rights for their fiefdoms (the ownership rights were taken to the lords, and they were fairly distributed by the lords according to the actual situation of each lord). This was equivalent to working for the lords. What was the most taboo during the Warring States Period? It was to reduce the lords. There was only nominal management rights and no actual ownership rights. Moreover, this kind of management rights had to be managed according to the laws of the lords. Masayoshi did this to reduce the lords' lords' territories.
) If it is more intense, it will even rise up. Therefore, Zhengliang has to be too slow. So Zhengliang thought of a solution. Although he forcibly demanded that the tyrants of surrender implement the laws of the territory, he would also increase their feudal territory. In this way, their territory was expanded in name, and the tax revenue was converted back. The actual income was similar to the previous income, or even more, at least they were psychologically relied on their way. However, discerning people can still see that the most important ownership of the territory is still in the hands of the lords, and the so-called "lords" were just managing the territory on the basis of complying with the laws of the territory. Moreover, their own military strength was greatly controlled. So there were still people who were dissatisfied.
But Zhengliang was not afraid at all. First of all, these pacification policies of Zhengliang were only targeting the powerful families who surrendered. As for those powerful families who rose up and failed, Zhengliang would break up and distribute them to various parts of the territory without hesitation, and even directly exterminate the clan.
And what if they rebel against these surrendered tyrants?
Zhengliang is not afraid of this.
According to the territorial laws, after surrendering, the force of these tyrants is required to be limited to a maximum of fifteen entourages, and the remaining excess power will be arranged to be dealt with separately. This law is implemented immediately after the tyrants surrender. It cannot be delayed. Otherwise, it will be regarded as a rebellion and attacked.
In addition, after the land ownership of the wealthy clan is confiscated, the real beneficiaries are actually the conquered people on these lands. When redistributing these lands, the personnel responsible for the allocation (basically the personnel of Luoshifan who retired for various reasons) will tell the conquered people. The lord of the country personally arranged to distribute these lords to them for use, and in the future they only need to pay agricultural tax once a year. In short, they will continue to instill in them that what they get now is all given to them by the lord.
What is the basis for the rebellion of the rich? It is these leaders. As long as these leaders do not support them, they will only rebel with those loyal relatives, warriors and slightest people. In fact, there are not many people in this part, which is conducive to suppressing the rebellion.
Moreover, Zhengliang hoped that these wealthy families could rebel immediately. Anyway, the fewer such wealthy families in the territory, the more stable his rule would be.
In general, Zhengliang will erase the rebellious tyrants without mercy. For the surrendered nobles, they will take the same gentle way as possible and compensate their losses in various ways; for the cooperative nobles, they will not only compensate their losses in various ways, but also give more care. Zhengliang hopes that through this comparison, all nobles will realize that only cooperation will bring the greatest benefits.
However, this is a new land system, which is different from the land system that is currently prevalent in the Warring States Period. When it was first implemented, it would inevitably have various contradictions with these conservative tyrants. Therefore, the initial stage of the newly obtained territory is the most dangerous. However, Zhengliang's determination to implement this system is very firm.
In order to ensure the smooth implementation of this system, Zhengliang mainly adopted several measures.
First, it is to firmly control the ownership of each army and firmly pursue the direct management of the army by the king. At present, the military forces of the territory basically adopt a regular method. These regulars, whether they are stakes or samurai, are uniformly selected and trained by the new recruits. Without the intervention of any other wealthy clan, it is as much as possible to ensure that most of the soldiers in each team will not concentrate the tribes of a certain wealthy clan. In addition, an ideological education system has been established in the army. Every new recruit is inculcated with the idea that the command of the king is above everything else from entering the new recruits, and they are soldiers of the king. For each general
As for the leaders, after they were enfeoffed by Zhengliang, they were actually considered a wealthy family. Of course, among them, there must be a wealthy family produced under the new system and a wealthy family surrendered under the old system. Overall, the number of wealthy families representing the new system will be more. Whether the new family or the old family, they are allowed to lead their fifteen entourages to join the ranks. These entourages are not allowed to occupy any position in the ranks, but only exist as the guards of the generals. The generals only have temporary command power over the ranks and have no ownership rights. Once the command of the king of the country comes down, no matter what the command of the general is, they must be mainly based on the command of the king of the country.
Second, a large number of grassroots retainers were used. Most of these retainers did not have much family hindrance, or their families were not in Zhengliang's territory and had no direct conflict of interest with Zhengliang. Zhengliang would promote them to become the power of checks and balances of the wealthy retainers representing the old system, and at the same time make them the new wealthy members under the new system. Of course, as the power and strength of these retainers continued to increase, they might hope to get more or breed other thoughts. But by that time, they suddenly realized that there was no foundation and resources around them to realize these ideas.
Third, increase the patronage of the people. Whether it is the source of the army or the various resources in the territory, they are actually inseparable from each person. In the existing system, each Daming mainly relies on the wealthy clan of different forces. Each Daming army is composed of the army of each noble clan. The Daming general relies very much on the loyalty of the wealthy clan. Once the wealthy clan betrays, Daming will be in trouble. Fundamentally, because the wealthy clan controls a large amount of military strength and resources and directly controls the people under his leadership, Daming has to rely on them. Oda Nobunaga, who was born after ri, actually weakened such a relationship to a certain extent, such as establishing a standing position separated from the wealthy clan, and then adding various favorable and historical factors to develop and almost become a person in the world. However, in the end, he still died in his own wings and the control of the wealthy clan over the army, and he did not get rid of this shackles even if he died.
On the one hand, Zhengliang weakens the control of the tyrants over the people under the leadership (the land is given by the lord and does not have the final say; the tax is only paid once a year, and it is given to the tyrant, not to the tyrants; the tyrants can only supervise and manage the tyrants' farming and civil affairs according to the tyrant laws), and on the other hand, they strengthen their control over the tyrants through various patronage methods. It is in this way that Zhengliang can return the resources and direct control of the tyrants to himself and no longer rely too much on the tyrants. Under this system, the influence of each tyrant on Daming will be greatly reduced and gradually converted into a support for Daming.
Of course, perhaps Zhengliang's idea is very naive and may even die. Judging from the current situation, if this system is implemented, there will be two dangerous periods. One is that when the new territory is occupied, once this system is implemented, it will inevitably have great conflicts with the old tyrants, so it will inevitably be accompanied by various conflicts, and even a complete reconstruction will occur; the other period is that some tyrants surrender to the forces of the Luo family, temporarily endure, and attack once they have the opportunity. For the above two dangerous periods, Zhengliang adopted the method of carrots and sticks, comforting one hand and mercilessly attacking the other hand. As long as four or five years are spent, the new system will be completely accepted, even tyrants with different intentions will lose the foundation and resources to realize their tyrants.
