Regardless of the official world during the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period or the family world since Xia, rebellion has always been a serious crime, especially through the "Qi Lu" of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the "Kaihuang Law" of the Sui Dynasty, and the "Tang Lu Shuyi" of the Tang Dynasty.

With further revisions, rebellion directly became one of the most heinous crimes.

The so-called ten evils are unforgivable. The first is treason, the second is treason, the third is treason, the fourth is treason, the fifth is dishonesty, the sixth is great disrespect, the seventh is unfilial, the eighth is discord, the ninth is unjust, and the tenth is civil strife.

.

Among them, treason and treason seem to be very similar, but in fact they are not the same thing at all.

Rebellion refers to wanting to rebel, while treason refers to destroying royal temples, mausoleums and palaces, and treason refers to betraying the imperial court.

The behavior of people like Hu Wenhong and Zhang Xijin can be regarded as treason at the most serious level, and treason at the most minor level - whether it is treason or rebellion, it is a serious crime that involves the death of the whole family.

There really isn't much difference.

Emperor Zhu continued: "Also, let Jinyiwei dig carefully to see who else is behind Hu Wenhong and Zhang Xijin, as well as the students from other universities. We must also dig carefully. I don't want to

Do you believe that two businessmen alone would dare to make such a big fuss?"

When Emperor Zhu finished speaking, Zeng Cheng couldn't sit still.

To be honest, two merchants alone cannot create such a big movement - among the more than 40 universities in the Ming Dynasty, except for five in the capital and three in the southern Zhili, the rest are basically composed of every chief envoy.

There is a school in the provincial capital of Si. It wants to get students from more than 40 universities, so that students from so many universities can make a fuss on the same day as agreed. It is true that this matter cannot be handled by just a few businessmen.

of.

The problem is that we can no longer dig deeper!

There are only one Hu Wenhong and one Zhang Xijin behind the students of more than forty universities. This is eighty wealthy businessmen! Even if each wealthy businessman has only one clan member

One hundred people, this is also a big case involving eight thousand people!

Moreover, there are more than 3,000 students who have been expelled from their honors this time in the capital alone. If we also include the three generations of the nine tribes who are unable to serve as officials, and the punishment of joining the army, I am afraid that tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people will be involved...

…is it really a good thing for the Ming Dynasty to cause such a big turmoil?

Not to mention, Emperor Zhu and his old man have very obvious fishing behavior this time - those wealthy businessmen and rural gentry have been working hard to add sand to the farmers' association, local government and even the court. Even if such a big movement can be concealed,

It was impossible for everyone in the world to hide it from Jin Yiwei and Dongchang, but Emperor Zhu and his old man just rebelled and allowed them to do whatever they wanted. They waited until Hu Yan and Zhang Yang jumped out and led those idiots to cry in the palace.

, Emperor Zhu began to deal with it with heavy hands. What is this kind of behavior other than fishing?

Okay, you can go fishing. Anyway, someone in our family has heard a little bit about it and has seen through your old man’s intention to fish. But now you want to take advantage of the opportunity of fishing to directly destroy the fish pond.

What is the operation of draining out the water?

Just thinking about it, Zeng Cheng suddenly came back to his senses.

Being played by Emperor Zhu!

This time, not only himself, the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, but also Liu Heming, the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, including all the officials in the entire court and local government offices of the Ming Dynasty, and even all the sages, gentry, and wealthy merchants in the entire Ming Dynasty.

, they were all played by Emperor Zhu!

In fact, Emperor Zhu's gameplay is really simple, that is, fish first and then release the water - other people wait for the fish to bite the hook and then slide the fish to catch the fish, while Emperor Zhu directly fishes after the fish bites the hook.

Drain all the water in the fish pond and expose all the fish to the sun!

Zeng Cheng had no doubt that Emperor Zhu had this ability.

The people of Cuigezhuang have had their butts pulled with a knife today, and their eyes have been opened!

When you come to the fields at this time, you can smell the sweet air of wheat seedlings and feel the coldness of winter snow.

This is a scene that has been loved by countless literati throughout the ages.

Isn’t that ridiculous?

Anyone who thinks this is ridiculous is either a bastard who can stand and talk without hurting his back, or a brainless idiot.

Let's take the book "A Brief Summary of Awakening from Corruption" written by Zhu Chongba, who started a bowl, as an example:

From this set of data, we can see that there is a large loss when grinding rice into rice. At least during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, the loss rate was relatively high.

According to Zhu Yuanzhang’s calculated data, the rice yield rate is only about 40%.

Well, an autumn harvest is like a long march of thousands of miles, and an autumn harvest means that a layer of skin has to be shed on the shoulders. What is so beautiful about this memory?

Emperor Zhu had also farmed in the past, and he knew the feeling of sweat falling into pieces.

When people's lives have improved, naturally no one will think about rebelling against the Ming Dynasty and restoring the Qing Dynasty.

After Zeng Cheng and Liu Heming left the palace, Emperor Zhu sat alone in the Qianqing Palace in a daze.

This is a war with a very low chance of winning - no matter how talented and strategic a hero or wise ruler is, he may not be able to perfectly solve the huge capitalist class.

For example, a certain principal.

First of all, this clever and hairless principal relied entirely on the capitalist class to make his fortune.

Mr. Chen, Mr. Hu and others looked at Qi Feng who was talking eloquently with bewildered expressions. They couldn't believe that these words came from Qi Feng's mouth.

Mr. Hu's eyes lit up: "The person you are talking about is Zhang Wenhong from the Kinki tribes?"

There is a difference between daimyo and daimyo.

Daimyo originated from the word "name master", which refers to the named field, that is, private land, and daimyo refers to a person who owns a large amount of land.

During the Muromachi Shogunate period, the samurai leaders who followed Ashikaga Takauji into the army were named guardians. The samurai who led one or several countries were collectively called guardian daimyo.

After the Onin Rebellion, the trend of subjugation from the lower ranks of the Japanese state prevailed. Most of the guardian daimyo declined, and small lords rose up to become the daimyo of the Warring States Period.

During the Edo period, the shogunate divided the country's daimyo into the gushidai daimyo (the retainers of Tokugawa Ieyasu) and the gaijin daimyo (the daimyo who were originally subordinate to Toyotomi Hideyoshi).

Because what Inukai Wenhong said was "if the Ming Dynasty were replaced to rule the Japanese country".

This guy even openly claimed that as the king of the Japanese country, Guangge Jianren not only had no trace of divinity, but also no trace of humanity. What he did failed to bring benefits to the people of the Japanese country, and he failed to live up to the Ming Emperor's treatment of him.

Trust me, if you are a humble person, you should commit seppuku.

Being so daring to scold and complain in the hierarchical Japanese country, Inukai Wenhong soon had a large number of followers around him, and most of these people were samurai who were extremely dissatisfied with the Japanese court and shogunate.

Ronin.

Now that Qi Feng proposed using Inu Yang Wenhong to disrupt the Japanese country and make a fortune, Mr. Hu, Mr. Chen and other Ming businessmen present were naturally very excited.

Mr. Hu chuckled, stroking his beard and said: "One person, Wen Hong, can only manage a whole area with chaos. Naturally, the money our brothers can earn is very limited.

In my opinion, we should find ways to bring more people in."

Qi Feng smiled and nodded, and another name came out of his mouth: "How about Nojiri Nishiki?"

Hearing the name Nojiri Nishiki, all the Ming businessmen present laughed strangely again.

Nojiri Nishijin is not a fuel-efficient lamp either.

If we simply judge the level based on the status of the world, Nojiri Nishijin is actually far inferior to Inukai Wenhong, because Inukai Wenhong is still a famous name no matter how famous he is, while Nojiri Nishijin is just a country man, and he can only be known as

The self-proclaimed identity of a Lanxue scholar.

The key is that Nojiri Nishijin is not a simple scholar.

Although Nojiri Nishijin did not dare to criticize the Japanese government and the shogunate like Inukai Wenhong, and even dared to win over a group of short-sighted people who were dissatisfied with the Japanese country to run a newspaper, Nojiri Nishijin was a risk-taking critic of the Japanese government.

The feudal lords and daimyo from all over the country had a strange attitude toward the Japanese court and shogunate.

In the eyes of the Japanese court and shogunate, Nojiri Nishiki was like a toad. It couldn't bite people, but it could disgust them to death. After all, this guy was covered in the skin of a scholar of orchid science, and he usually followed Ming merchants.

He was relatively close, and the Japanese court and shogunate did not dare to deal with him directly.

Now Qi Feng remembered Nojiri Nishijin.

To put it bluntly, the situation in Japan, which was driven to heaven and earth by countless incurable people, was actually similar to that in Tianzhu. Tianzhu had castes, and Japan also had classes.

For example, why do those ronin samurai who lost their masters remain ronin instead of finding a job?

This also means that if Tokugawa Jiaqi wants to completely complete the blockade, he must first get rid of those ronin.

Chikuzen, Chikugo, Bunzen, Bungo, Hizen, Tsushima, Hinata and other feudal lords also responded one after another, while the other feudal lords and daimyo couldn't help but frowned.

This difference in geographical location naturally resulted in uneven development among the various vassals. Some vassals were relatively wealthy, while others were poor.

The difference in wealth and poverty will be directly reflected in the number of ronin in each domain.

The poorer the feudal lord is, the more rogues there are.

More importantly, the Satsuma clan, Chikuzen, Chikugo and other feudal lords actually have a common name: Kyushu clans.

These feudal clans were originally hanging out on Kyushu Island. The Satsuma clan even sent troops to capture Ryukyu, forcing the Ryukyu king to surrender to Japan and pay tribute.

To say that they are willing, they are definitely not willing to give in. Shimazu Hisamitsu, Chikuzen, Chikugo and other feudal lords have not thought about resisting. At least they must find a good place, right?

Then Shimazu Hisamitsu and the others quickly moved to Ezo, completely giving up Kyushu Island.

What would the shogunate think if they were asked to obey the orders of the feudal lord and ignore the Tokugawa family? They were dragging each other back and fighting to pay off the ronin who had a nest of chickens!

This was even more unacceptable to the feudal lords than directly using money to support Tokugawa Ieki!

When Tokugawa Ieki finished speaking, all the feudal lords present breathed a sigh of relief but at the same time couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

As we all know, apart from being lustful, Tokugawa Ieki's biggest problem was his greed for money. It can be said that his sons and daughters' money-making problems were inherited from Tokugawa Ieki.
