"My mercy is regarded as weak and can be bullied by them. If this is the case, he will not blame me for being unkind."

Liu Jun sat in the military conference hall of the Military Affairs Office and announced loudly.

The generals were excited when they heard the news, but the civil officials were very calm. Liu Chenggong asked the staff to mark the fish that were biting the hook on the sand table.

Except for the capital capital that did not have blue flags, blue flags appeared in other provinces. Some provinces only had one or two sides, while others were already full of blue flags, which meant that the red flag that represented the Han Empire could no longer be seen.

The largest blue flag is planted in Luoyang, Henan, the center of the world.

In addition, there are blue flags in Datong and Taiyuan in Shanxi, Jiangbei, Jiangnan, Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Guangxi, even Hainan, Hunan and other places in Shandong.

However, the places with the most blue flags are in Guizhou, Yunnan, Shaanxi and Gansu.

Seeing these flags, the civil and military officials who attended the Military Affairs Office meeting all understood that the situation was not good now. After the restoration of Luoyang, the Ming Dynasty royal families in all parts of the world, the rural officials who retired, as well as local gentry, etc., responded to the rebellion.

In this tide, there are many more eye-catching places, such as Yunnan and nobles, Sichuan, Guangxi, Hainan, Shaanxi, Gansu and other places, Tu, Miao, Li and Hui, etc., and many others took the opportunity to raise flags.

However, no one saw panic or uneasiness on the emperor's face. All they saw was calmness and a faint smile. It was an expression that was in control.

Ni Yuanlu calmed down, looked at the large sand table, the red and blue flags on it, and a large blackboard that the staff had just raised, with chalk written on it and many numbers.

This is a detailed military information summary. Each red and blue flag on the sand table represents a Han army and a rebel army. The number of the two sides, equipment situation, training status, etc. are all above.

Looking at these, Ni Yuanlu finally understood the meaning of the emperor's words.

This is indeed fishing. Although there are many blue flags on the sand table, if you look closely, you will find that although there are many rebellions, there are few soldiers and horses. The main force of the real rebellion is the former bandits and thieves and tribal barbarians from various border areas.

The situation in the small court in Luoyang was even worse, and was surrounded by Han soldiers.

Liu Jun was also looking at the sand table and shook his head and said, "I am waiting for the royal family of the previous dynasty, the officials of the previous dynasty, the gentry and merchants in the world, and even the chieftains from all over the country, to be unkind and tolerant. But now it seems that I am still too kind to them, that they regard this as weak."

"But it's good, since it's not a one-hearted mind, there's no need to go together. If there's a way to heaven, they don't go, then the door to hell will be open to them."

"Luoyang is back. I still want to give them time to consider it, hoping that they can return to the wrong path. As a result, they regard my silence as a deceptive, jumping out, and showing all their ugly appearances. Look at the world, these people no longer know what awe means. Since this is the case, my betrayal of them will be returned with a sword!"

"All rebels are sinners of the empire. They are unforgivable."

When Liu Jun announced that the court would wipe out all rebellions by force, and would not forgive and would never be pacified, many civil officials were staring at him.

Do they think I will still bargain with them at this time? Liu Jun sneered in his heart. He would use the toughest means to pacify this rebellion and try to kill one to warn him.

"Order the governors and governors to immediately dispatch troops and quickly eliminate all rebels. Any rebel who refuses to surrender will be killed without mercy, captives or surrender will be exiled to the army and all the property will be confiscated."

Liu Jun has a whole plan to quell the rebellion.

There are no rebellions in the two new military regions outside the pass and on the frontier. The governors and generals of the two places can strengthen supervision and alert.

Although there were rebellions in the military regions of Zhili, Central Plains, Sanjiang, Fujian and Zhejiang, the scale was still very small for the time being. There were no rebel forces, mostly small forces and relatively scattered. Liu Jun asked civil and military officials from these provinces to send troops to suppress and strengthen defense.

"The first thing is to suppress rebellions and quell the rebellion is to define boundaries according to the military region, each of them should do a good job of defense within the province, prohibit rebels from leaving the province, and rebels in other provinces should not rush into the province. Each of them should guard their own defense areas and monitor the movements within the province."

As for the military regions of Sichuan, Lake, Central Plains, Shaanxi, Gansu, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou, which were more powerful in rebellion, they required local civil servants to strengthen encirclement and suppression, and Liu Jun would also dispatch elite troops to garrison and suppression.

Especially for the three military regions of Central Plains and Yunnan and Guizhou, which had strong rebel forces, Liu Jun each dispatched elite troops to the Central Plains to send 50,000 people to cooperate in the suppression. Shaanxi and Gansu and Yunnan and Guizhou each dispatched two reorganized troops to fight, with each of 60,000 troops.

"First of all, you should take down Luoyang." Fu Shan suggested to Liu Jun, "I suggest that the troops should be concentrated first to besiege Luoyang. After Luoyang is captured, the troops will be divided into three groups, one in Shaanxi and Gansu, one in Sichuan and Lake, and one in Yunnan and Guizhou."

"Luoyang is the center of the rebels. If you capture Luoyang, capture Zhu Changxun and Li Zicheng, you will surely achieve the effect of shocking the world."

Li Banghua raised a little concern, "In this way, the troops are divided into multiple routes, and the strength of the troops will inevitably be weak, and the supply will be extremely burdened. It is better to pacify the whole way from north to south. In this way, the army will not have any worries when it goes south."

"Don't worry about the problem of food." Liu Jun said that summer harvest has begun in various places, and the army can solve the problem on the spot when going south. In addition, the General Administration of Food and Technology has also built grain station granaries in various places. Among them, large granaries have been built in some important water and land wharfs, and there are a lot of grain in them. It was originally for the needs of various places and can be transferred at any time. Now, the chaos and war are about to be put back, and these granaries are just in place.

However, Liu Jun has his own ideas about the route to suppress the bandits.

"I plan to divide my troops into three groups, take warships along the coast and head south, and quell the rebels from Shandong, Sanjiang, Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Guangxi provinces. The other group has entered Shanxi since the capital, then went south, finally attacked Luoyang, and then entered Shaanxi and Gansu to quell the rebellion. The last group has gone south from the canal, along Zhili, Henan, and north of the river to the Yangtze River, and then went up against the river to attack the two lakes along the Yangtze River, Sichuan.

Finally, the troops on the east road entered Yunnan and Guizhou from Guangxi, and the Yangtze River route on the middle road also entered Yunnan and Guizhou after quelling the Sichuan rebellion. The two troops gathered together.

Finally, the road to Shaanxi and Gansu was pacified by Guanzhong, and then headed westward and finally reached Qinghai."

Liu Jun's plan was quite favored, with three armies, each of which was composed of two reorganized troops, with a total of 60,000 troops. Liu Jun was not even aimed at the royal families of the former Ming Dynasty, but he also took this opportunity to clean up the chieftains.

After these six towns of troops suppressed the rebellion, they would be stationed in the southwest and northwest, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu. Each province would be stationed in a reorganized army.

"In addition to these three rebellion-fighting troops, the garrisons of each province and the township army are responsible for the defense of the province. Zhang Shan, Cai Yuan and Qi Guoyuan's Henan troops will be the general reserve army."

"Who leads the three armies?" asked Zhang Guowei, Minister of War.

"Appoint Liu Yunsheng, the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, as the general of Zhendong, and commanded the troops of the Eastern Route Army and were responsible for quelling the rebellion in the southeast."

"Appoint Zheng Zhilong, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, as the general of Pingxi, commanded the troops of the two towns on the West Road, and was responsible for pacifying the rebellion in the northwest."

"Appoint Qin Liangyu, the Governor of Sichuan and Lake, as General Dingnan, commanded the troops of the two towns in the middle road, and was responsible for quelling the rebellion in the southwest."

"Appoint Zhang Shan, the Admiral of Chuanhu, as the general of pacifying bandits, and Cai Yuan, the Admiral of Central Plains, as the general of the destruction of the bandits, and command their troops to assist in the quelling of the rebellion."

Except for Zhang Shan and Cai Yuan's reserve troops, the other three governors were the two soldiers who were commanded by the two towns, but were sent to the south from the capital. They were also the most elite troops of the Han Dynasty.

The garrisons, reserves and townships of each theater and province are only responsible for the defense of peace and rebellion in the theater and the province, while the three elite troops led by the three governors are responsible for the encirclement and suppression across the theater.

After pausing, Liu Jun suddenly announced a decision that seemed to have nothing to do with quelling the chaos.

"This year, the first imperial examination will be held. The provincial examination will be held in advance until August, and the imperial examination will be held in Beijing in advance until early December. Everyone can participate in this imperial examination. As long as they pass the county examination, they can participate in the provincial examination. All those who have achieved scholarships and those who have achieved scholarships in the past can participate in the provincial examinations. After the provincial examination, the juren selected this time, as well as those who have achieved scholarships in the past, can participate in the provincial examinations."

In the past, even if there were scholars and fame, they might not be able to take the provincial examination for the imperial examination. Before the provincial examination, they had to take the qualification examination first. In the end, only a few people were qualified to take the Juren exam, and the same was true for other examinations. This time, Liu Jun relaxed this restriction.

"However, for all three generations of people who participated in the rebellion, some people who failed to complete the collection of debts and the land acres were not completed, all the qualifications for this imperial examination will be cancelled."

The imperial examination is a necessary way to become an official, but now Liu Jun has put restrictions on the imperial examination. Those who are unwilling to pay the tax, unwilling to make up for the deficits in office, and unwilling to report their hidden fields will be disqualified from the imperial examination. Even if his own family has paid, those who have not paid for the compensation for the three generations will be disqualified.

Finally, Liu Jun announced another decree, "From now on, the famous and secular households will be abolished, and there will be no more divisions between private households, military households, and craft households, and there will be no more distinctions between officials, gentry households and private households. All provinces should continue to conduct census and speed up the clearance of land."

"All land, houses, shops, cars, ships, etc., who involve contracts must go to the local government office before the end of this year to complete the replacement of the new contract. Starting from next year, the property rights of the old contract will automatically expire. If there is no new contract replacement, there will be no official positions in land, houses, etc.."

If the land property, house and other property are not exchanged for contracts, they will be confiscated. If the contract is replaced, the details will naturally be controlled by the government. Especially for land, the government will measure the number of land in various places and then ask the local land owner to change the land property contract. Finally, just pair the number of land acres after the contract is replaced with the total amount of the total amount, you will know whether there are anyone hiding the land and whether there are encroachments. It will be clear at a glance.

The most important point is that Liu Jun took the opportunity of changing the deeds this time and also required a deed tax, that is, stamp tax. The deed tax was also a tax that was found in the Tang and Song Dynasties, but the Ming Dynasty almost could not receive this tax.

This time, Liu Jun would re-expose this tax. The contract for houses and land is 3%. In the future, when the houses and land are sold, they must register and make a contract with the government, otherwise there will be no official certificate and will not have legal effect. All transaction contracts for official registration and making a contract must be levied based on the registered transaction amount.

Don’t these rich people rebel against me? Then I don’t have to be polite to you.

Do you dare to go against the court and still think that you were in the Ming Dynasty? In the Han Dynasty, you either follow the law seriously, be serious about being a human being, and pay taxes honestly. Or you can rebel, and you will either be killed by the government army, or you will be exiled overseas or outside the border, and be an immigrant who has expanded the territory for the empire.

For the rebel Zong family, they were all exiled to the army after being arrested.

And those who have not rebelled yet, Liu Jun did not intend to let them stay in the place.

"Move all the former Ming royal families to Danluo and Juji, and properly resettle the islands of Tsuma and other places." Liu Jun decided to say without hesitation. With one sentence, he threw all the former nobles into the concessions of the Han Dynasty in Korea and Japan.

Throw it on these overseas islands far away from the Central Plains and see how you can do it.

As for the property of these royal families, they will be managed by the court in the future. Of course, the first thing they illegally occupied must be settled.

When things have come to this point, there is no need to leave any room for them to face. (To be continued.)
