Chapter 428: The beginning of the chaos~~)(1/2)
Zhu Xu looked at the things in the jade box, looked up at Dorgon again, and then reached out to take them out.
On the right is a map, with the five Chinese characters "Military Arrangement Map" on the cover, which are very eye-catching.
Zhu Xu opened his eyes and saw that the detailed arrangement of troops near the "Dong/Beijing" was shown in detail. There is also a line of small characters under the map, and the names, personalities, combat methods of each leader are introduced.
Zhu Xu calmly put down the map, looked at Dorgon again, and picked up the middle one. This was a "account book", a series of important information involving the roster of senior officials in the Later Jin Dynasty, gold and silver wealth status, granary location, and other important information.
Zhu Xu picked up the leftmost one and looked through it. This was the "Loyalty Letter" submitted by Dorgon, saying that "even the loyal and brave kings are loyal and brave, they also have the intention to serve the country." He hoped that the court could let him lead his troops and "quell civil strife and destroy foreign thieves" for the court.
Zhu Xu looked at the memoir with a weird look. He raised his head and narrowed his eyes at Dorgon who was lowering his head.
The previous sentence can be considered that Dorgon surrendered because he was "fearing death", but the sentence "Suppressing civil strife and destroying external thieves" is worthy of fun.
"Inner strife", Chen/Yang can now be said to be a territory of the Ming Dynasty. Dorgon's "pacifying civil strife" refers to Huang Taiji?
Who is the "destroy external thieves"? In addition to those who go south from time to time to rob, the only tribes in the Mongolian and ancient times can be called "thieves".
Zhu Xu put down the memorial book, tapped his fingers on the table, and his mind flew.
The information from the Jinyiwei came from Liaodong, and there were also information about the open and secret struggle between Dorgon and Huang Taiji, especially during Huang Taiji's coma, Dorgon acted very often, but he was afraid that Amin would enter the Great Wall and Dorgon deliberately sent him to death. Huang Taiji sent him to the capital, which should have the same purpose.
However, these two are not simple. Is Dorgon’s ‘rejection’ true or false this time?
Zhu Xu looked at Dorgon, he bowed slightly, lowered his head, and looked like an ordinary captain in the Ming Dynasty, without any special sight.
When Cao Huachun, Liu Shimin and others saw that Zhu Xu did not speak, they could hear the huge imperial study room.
Dorgon lowered his head, and although his expression was calm, his brows were shaking slightly.
He was not sure whether these conditions could impress the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. If he said lightly, "Take it out and cut it down", he would lose this gambling, and the grand wishes hidden in his heart would also make everything empty.
It seemed like a cold wind was passing through his neck, making his hair stand on and his whole body was cold.
But he didn't move at all!
Zhu Xu looked at Dorgon and suddenly felt a sense of laughter in his heart. No matter whether Dorgon's surrender was true or false, could he still be able to make the world come true?
Since Dorgon is here, it will be useless if he doesn’t use it!
Zhu Xu knocked on the table and paused, and smiled and said, "Well, I have received the sincerity of the King Zhongyong, and I have also seen your... I have seen it. The captain... is still a little short. How many soldiers do you have in your hands?"
Dorgon listened to Zhu Xu's gentle words, and felt relieved. He knew that he had won the bet. He raised his hand and said, "Go back to the emperor, if you get the emperor's permission, I can transfer three thousand elite troops from Chen/yang to the pass."
Zhu Xu nodded and said, "Well, the captain is still a little short. I will give you the title of deputy general. In addition to your three thousand cavalry, I will give you another seven thousand to collect 10,000. The general mangui will be dispatched. I will be someone to take you to see the official of the Ministry of War later. Do you have anything else to say?"
Dorgon knew that he needed to increase his weight in the emperor's heart now. The few things in the box were not enough, so he raised his hand and said, "I have many connections with Mongolian and ancient tribes, and I am willing to share my worries for the emperor."
For Mongolian and ancient times, Zhu Xu always pursued a fist that needed a strong enough force. Dorgon's network of relationships was not very useful, but his war ability was of great use!
Zhu Xu smiled, turned to Cao Huachun, and said, "You lead to the Ministry of War to issue an order, and then take him to Mangui and go in person."
Cao Huachun knew that this was a manifestation of Zhu Xu's attention, so he responded and walked towards Dorgon.
Dorgon raised his hand again, calmly and deeply looked at Zhu Xu and said, "I will leave."
Zhu Xu nodded and watched Dorgon leave the imperial study.
Zhu Xu smiled and said softly, "Okay, just try Meng/Gu."
The summer grain harvest is imminent, and it is the critical time for the Mongolian and ancient robbery, and it is also a good opportunity to try Dorgon.
Since Zhu Youjian's "heart talk" with Zhu Xu, he has become more and more majestic than the Regent. He forcibly passed the "restoring the ancestral system" in the Wenzhao Pavilion Gai Conference and submitted a memorial to the Chief Lecture Supervisor. The cabinet decision: From now on, any household with more than 900 mu of land will be taxed for five liters per mu, and 5 liters of tax grain will be paid at the same time.
In other words, the court would collect a dou of tax grain per mu of land in the world.
Shuntian Prefecture just sent a message, which caused a huge shock. On that day, countless impeachment memorials flew into the Tongzheng Envoy Department, impeached Wen Zhao Pavilion for "disruption of politics", demanded the removal, the restoration of the cabinet, etc.
On the same day, Zhu Youjian convened the six ministers and ministers of the Minister of the Zhengyuan to discuss the provincial reform, and the meeting went extremely smoothly.
The cabinet decided to establish Liaodong Province, covering north of Shanhai/Guangzhou, Liaodong Dusi Peninsula, Zhang Wenda as the governor, and Yang Lin as the governor. Shaanxi/Xi, Sichuan/Guangzhou, Yunnan/Nan, and Hubei/Guangzhou were re-differentiated, with Ning/Xia, Gansu and Suzhou. The new governor and governor were also ready and were on the way to.
Wen Zhaoge and the Ministry of War also quickly decided the conditions for the "real surrender" of the Later Jin Dynasty, including strict boundaries demarcation, Ming Dynasty court sent personnel to supervise the military and political affairs of the Later Jin Dynasty, detailed tributes, title bans, trade, etc.
Wen Zhao Pavilion was moving quickly, which surprised the inside and outside the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
Surprisingly, there is not much opposition to the provincial reform. Whether it is Shaanxi, Xi, Sichuan, or Yunnan, it is very large. The situation is complicated and the disaster is serious. Those officials want to pass the blame immediately, so naturally they will not stop them.
The real resistance is to face the matter of collecting taxes and replenishing taxes to the rich.
Even under the banner of "restoring the ancestral system", opposition from various places continued to spread. Not only did the landlords boycott and resist tax officials, but the heads and minds of provincial, prefectures and counties in various places also treated them negatively, and even obstructed them secretly.
The target of this taxation was the rich southern and coastal provinces. First, political reform was made, and then forcibly banned Fushe. In addition, Wei Zhongxian killed people and blood was not dry. Finally, it was a little calmer. Neither Zhu Xu nor the top leaders of the Ming Dynasty were willing to "irritate" the Jiangnan official group anymore, so they could only use it softly and move slowly.
The Ming Dynasty newspapers are fully engaged in their efforts. At present, newspapers are very cheap, and everyone can afford them in stalls all over the capital.
The news of the provincial reform, the news of the Jiannu tribute, the news of disaster relief, and the news of quelling the chaos, in short, the emperor was wise and powerful, and the court was dedicated to the country, calling on the people to tighten their belts and fight against the disaster with the court, and survive these difficult days, etc.
The Chaozhou newspapers have successively set up reporting stations in various provinces and have begun to slowly grasp the direction of public opinion.
On the way to Shaanxi/Xi, there is an exquisite and somewhat luxurious carriage.
Li Yan's face was expressionless and his eyes were gloomy, as if he had infinite hatred, but he was unable to get angry.
His wife, Tang, comforted softly, "Husband, even if you can't get into the Provincial Literature Academy, you can still be submitted by your father. Even if it doesn't work, the court said that you can go to the officialdom as before, as in the past?"
Li Yan looked up at Tang, and the corners of his mouth moved, trying to say something, but finally he hummed and closed his eyes.
Although Tang is a lady from a noble family, how much can he know about the outside world?
What made Li Yan angry was that he had not been admitted to the Shandong Provincial Academy of Literature three times, but those who were not in his eyes had all been admitted! If he couldn't get in, he would be guaranteed? With his Li Yan's personality, he couldn't do such a shameful thing!
At the same time, he also realized another thing. Since he failed the examination questions of the Provincial Academy of Literature, don’t expect the imperial examination!
The court cut off his career!
‘The foolish lord!’
‘Damn politics!’
‘No virtue!’
'inability!'
Li Yan closed his mouth tightly, his heart was filled with resentment, and he cursed differently.
Tang knew her husband's temper and could only comfort her from time to time, but now it seemed that it did not work much.
Tang's beautiful eyes looked at Li Yan's somewhat thin cheeks and said softly in his heart, "Maybe, I have to ask my mother to persuade him."
It was not only Li Yan who failed to get into the Liberal Arts School. Many scholars and literati in Jiangnan failed to get into the examination three times. They could not stand the blow and lingered in brothels all day long, scolding angrily.
Zhang Pu, Zhang Cai, Chen Zilong, Gu Yanwu and others bowed to the court and disbanded Fushe. They were also specially approved by Governor Jiang/Su, allowing them to enter the Literature Academy.
But even though he is talented and his articles are very beautiful, he is all about "reason". The two subjects of "mathematics" were blocked and he did not get into the exam twice.
They are all proud people, gritting their teeth and not bowing to the "New School Government", so they can only wander around the banks of the Qin/Huai/River with full of resentment, singing and singing loudly every day.
However, Gu Yanwu was very special. Although he failed the exam twice, his scores were getting higher and higher. He entered the Literature Academy repeatedly, requested to give a paper or a teaching book, hoping to go back to study by himself.
The Literature Academy naturally hopes to popularize education and never stings. Not only does it give him a teaching book, but it even allows him to attend the Literature Academy.
Gu Yanwu seemed to have discovered a new world, and was full of energy every day. He was stuck in his study at home, studying "new knowledge", or he went to the Literature Academy to attend classes and asked many academic and political professors for advice, which left a very good impression on the Literature Academy. One of the professors even planned to give him the recommended quota he had and let him study in the Literature Academy.
After all, people like Gu Yanwu are a minority. Resistance to the "New School of Political Science" of the imperial court is very common in Jiangnan. There are often a group of people who hold the Four Books and Five Classics in a uniform manner on the street, shaking their heads and chanting loudly, protesting in this way.
The scholars of Jiangnan would rather die than follow him. Even though they were resisting the "new academic government", on the other hand, they had achieved very good results.
They saved the Qin/Huai/He River, which was in a slump due to the "Nine Regulations". Countless scholars poured in, singing together all day long, and gorgeous articles appeared in the world, making the Jiang/Su, Zhejiang/Jiang and a grand scene. Some famous prostitutes also emerged and their reputations resounded throughout the south of the Yangtze River.
Gan/zhou.
Li Hongji, Song Xiance, and Li Guo escaped here with difficulty and spent all the money. The problem was that the relative they were going to join was involved in the deduction of military pay during the Ministry of War's purge more than a month ago, which almost caused a mutiny and was beaten to the head.
After escaping here after all the hardships, it was a dead end.
They are not the ones who are servants for wealthy families. If they want to seek official positions, they will not be able to do so without anyone introducing them to protect them.
The three of them frowned and looked worried behind the abandoned yard.
The world is a big deal, but it is not easy for a fugitive who is carrying a murder lawsuit to make a good life.
Li Guo is a few years older than Li Hongji, with rough hands and frosty faces. He is looking for food for Li Hongji and Song Xiance these days. One of them is used to spending money and being generous, and the other is a scholar who only knows about the wind and the moon and study, and they are all people who cannot stand the suffering.
Li Guo also looked at Li Hongji and said, "Second Uncle, this is not a solution. I saw some officers and soldiers looking at us with strange eyes. Maybe the portrait of the sea captain was sent here."
Song Xiance remained silent. He had no way to enter the officialdom. Seeing that Shaanxi and Xi were thousands of miles away, the people were living in poverty, and there were also those nobles, wealthy families and wealthy families sang all day long, and the rich gradually felt resentment in his heart.
Li Hongji looked at Song Xiance, then Li Guo, and suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "I heard that General Wang is in / Yang, let's go and join us? No matter what, it's like being a starving ghost, hiding everywhere!"
After Wang Jiayin's uprising, he was known as the "General Fengtian" and was known as the General Wang. Three days ago, he escaped from Hong Chengchou, Cao Wenzhao's encirclement and suppression, bypassed Tong/guan, crossed the Yellow River, returned to Shaanxi/North, and captured Yang. The number of people suddenly increased to 60,000, and his reputation resounded throughout the provinces of Shaanxi/Xi, Shan/Xi, and Sichuan.
Li Hongji's words suddenly hit Song Xiance's heart. His eyes changed and he suddenly straightened his back and said, "Okay, let's join General Wang, overthrow this corrupt Ming Dynasty, and re-establish the new dynasty!"
Li Guo was fine. Seeing that everyone agreed, he said directly: "No need to delay, let's go. I heard that the government army is encircling and suppressing it. If it's too late, it's too late!"
Li Hongji felt anger and said in a deep voice, "Let's go now. When I have someone in my hand, I will kill Mi/Zhi and kill those stupid officials!"
Song Xiance then stood up, already planning how to get in and how to help Wang Jiayin escape from the encirclement of the official army.
Wang Jiayin's rapid growth also inspired others to incite. Among them, the most disturbing one was the White Lotus Sect and Xu Hongru.
Xu Hongru has been in charge for many years. Before the Ming Dynasty's official army could react, he gathered thousands of people and conquered Zou County, Teng County, and Yi County one after another. The number of people reached 30,000. He was known as the "Zhongxing Fulie Emperor" and the reign was Dacheng Xingsheng.
At the same time, Yu Hongzhi from Northern Zhili rose up in Heng/shui and advanced to the Grand Canal to cut off the canal.
