chapter eight hundred and fifty seventh.
"yeah???"
A pair of bull eyes widened, Liu Zongmin stared at him in disbelief and returned, and went on a mission to the rest of the army again. Song Xiance, who jumped onto the table like a monkey, made an incredible surprise sound.
Not only him, but also his backbone-level generals such as He Mancang, Zhao Fengnian, Qin Bowa, etc. were staring at Song Xiance's big head as if they saw a dinosaur.
This time, it was much calmer than the last time, and it seemed that the negotiation state of the unbreakable people in the world was restored. Song Xiance smiled and squeezed a lot of wrinkles on his old face and asked with a smile.
"What's wrong? General Liu, didn't you ask the emperor to kneel down to you and beg you to surrender before you can surrender? The emperor has brought it. Why are you still stupid here? Let's go with me!"
"Hurry up, there are still a lot of things waiting for me in the capital! I don't have that much time to delay with these tens of thousands of counterfeit soldiers!"
This time, Song Xiance also learned a lot. The four personal soldiers raised a table with their hands to the edge of the Zhongjun table and stepped on it. Song Da's head was still tall, and he was carried out tall like a Bodhisattva.
Mao Jue came in person, and he came to kowtow to me?
Full of surprise, Liu Zongmin's eyes couldn't help but fall on several of his generals, and also came back from his stupidity. Qin Bowa immediately bowed to him with his fists, and a strong ruthless look appeared in his eyes.
Regardless of whether it is true or false, go and see first. There is no loss of fake ones. If it is true, Mao Jue's head is really stuck, the donkey kicks it, and runs to the army camp. Then he will have more things to do. His head should be more than enough, right? If it's not good, it's worth it to be able to win the emperor of the ages before death!
With a fierce momentum, Liu Zongmin took a fierce stroll out of the door with more than a dozen young peasant leaders.
Not to mention, Song Xiance was really not bragging. There were eight horse dragon chariots, yellow umbrella covers, a full set of emperor ceremonies, palace maids and eunuchs playing round fans, and more than a dozen palace guards holding the fiery red flag of Ming characters. That momentum was absolutely noble and despicable!
Seeing this scene, Liu Zongmin felt a little hot. After a few winks, his subordinates immediately surrounded the mission team in the middle. At the same time, he could just strode and walk over like a crab. He looked at Song Xiance with his eyes looking at him.
"This..., is this the emperor?"
"Of course, it's a fake one!"
He also looked sluggish, but immediately, Song Xiance shouted disrespectfully: "Your Majesty, General Liu is waiting. Why don't you come out quickly and kowtow to him!"
"Yes! Yes! Yes! I'll come out now! I'll come out now!"
In a panic voice, one of them was wearing a dragon robe, but he was so fat that he was extremely large. He saw that he was creeping down and then he whispered, and the rice cake was stuck on the ground.
"The little emperor, please see General Liu!"
But Liu Zongmin became popular all of a sudden. When he was in the capital, he had seen the portrait of Mao Jue hand-painted by Duke Ji in the mansion of Duke Ji. His eyes were like lightning and his whole armor was full of armor. Although he was an enemy, he had to admit that Mao Jue was definitely a soldier! During the Shanhaiguan War, his cavalry even looked at him from afar. Thousands of troops were standing in front of the formation, holding sharpness as if they were still as strong as a mountain. Even if he was Liu Zongmin was still worried about it, he was a figure of a famous tree. So when he saw the city of Nanjing, Mao Jue was hung with Mao Jue's banner, he did not dare to act rashly. Even if he was waiting for a battle to die, he had to wait for Mao Jue to attack. Isn't this a kind of respect!
But the meat ball in front of him has been rebelling for more than 20 years, and he has killed too many people! He is also embarrassed to pretend to be the emperor and come to cheat him. He is so angry that his breath is a little thicker. Liu Zongmin roars in anger: "Shuang Xiaozi, you swear me!"
"I am trying to cheat your sister! If you want to change it, Emperor Zhu Yousong of Southern Ming, the descendant of King Fu! The descendant of the serious Emperor Taizu of Ming, Zhu Yuanzhang, brought this jade seal, imperial edict, etc., and weighed it on a scale, and the emperor was 460 kilograms! Is the fidelity!"
It also had a city atmosphere. As Liu Zongmin was trembling with anger, Song Xiance waved his hand carelessly: "Liu Manzi, even if you are a thief, you have to be reasonable. You didn't say that any emperor came to kowtow to you at the beginning. This emperor's official has also been brought to you. Why don't you kneel down and surrender quickly!"
"snort!"
He was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He suddenly shook his battle robe. Liu Zongmin simply turned his head and returned to his central army tent, leaving only Zhu Yousong who was lying on the ground like rice cakes and a large group of crusade troops looking at each other. However, Song Xiance was not surprised by this scene. Standing on his small standing table, he also swung his sleeves in a chic manner.
"Listen, your general wants the emperor to kneel down in person. I am satisfied with this in the Ming Dynasty. Whether from the court or from the morality of the world, my Majesty has done his best to be kind and righteous! No matter how hard you resist, you will be unkind. Even if you die, people in the world will have to spit out disdainfully! If you die, you will be like a dog, and you will die in vain!"
"This is an ultimatum. Three days later, my Majesty will see a safe Yingtian, so you only have two days. Two days later, tens of thousands of cannons will be fired together, and flesh and blood will fly!"
No one is really not afraid of death! Song Xiance roared with a stern voice, and Qin Bowa and his face changed. They couldn't help but weigh it. If they were to die, it would be worth it! Without caring about them anymore, Song Xiance waved his hand again, and the four personal soldiers carried him and walked to Emperor Zhu, whose forehead was covered in sweat.
"Emperor Zhu Family, my Majesty is very stingy. If the army is dispatched, the 50,000 or 60,000 heads and 30 taels of military merit will cost more than 1.8 million taels! Your Majesty originally wanted to behead you, but I think you are still useful, so I will protect you. If you can't do anything this time, I will have no shame to plead in front of His Majesty again! I'll do it myself!"
"Go!"
Very fairy shook his head. The four personal soldiers held him up and walked out in front of thousands of troops in front of the rebels. As the generals of the rebels bowed heavily, Zhu Yousong also shivered violently with his fat face. He struggled to get up, and ran towards Liu Zongmin's central army tent like a small hill, and howled like a pig.
"General Liu, Zuzong Liu!"
Early in the morning of the third day, the camp gate was opened and he was holding a white flag. I wonder if he was so annoyed by Zhu Yousong. Liu Zongmin walked out of the camp with a grumpy face and appeared in front of Yingtian City without weapons.
However, he was no longer qualified to be personally received by Mao Jue at this time. He brought a third-rank general, Hou Huchen, the commander of the Fifth Corps of the Capital, and Song Xiance, the minister of the cabinet, held this surrender ceremony. He stood "high" with a smile on the small stool carried by the four people. Song Xiance asked with the smile of the winner.
"I still believe in your court. How many rebel brothers surrendered to your government back then, but were killed by the official dog Hong Chengchou! I can ask me to surrender, but my army cannot be divided, and I will still be under my command!"
"This condition can be agreed, but since you surrender, Your Majesty is your king! You must also swear to the sky, where will Your Majesty go, you have to go, and you have to go! Who will you fight if you are yourselves, and I will fight you too! Liu Zongmin, you may do it?"
Liu Zongmin was mentally prepared for this. If he didn't obey orders, he would be called surrender. Besides, if Mao Jue really used them as cannon fodder, he would have to turn against him in front of the battlefield! Listening to this, Liu Zongmin without hesitation pointed his fat brain.
"When Liu surrendered, he will naturally serve Emperor Mao like he served his elder brother in the future. Naturally, these are nothing to say!"
"good!"
With a loud bang, the imperial edict was spread. Beiming was really casual. Even the emperor Fengtian Chengyun, who increased his momentum, did not say anything. Song Xiance read it directly as if he read the military order.
"The thief Liu Zongmin, who is lost, knows his return, and his heart is naturalized. I am very happy. I have been appointed as General Loki and is appointed as the Rocky Legion under my command. I am here!"
Until now, I don’t know where this chicken fell, what it means. Liu Zongmin didn’t care about it for the time being. He knelt heavily on the ground with his subordinates and kowtowed and replied.
"Liu Zongmin, follow the order!"
…………
The last rebel army finally surrendered. Since the seventh year of Tianqi, the rebel army that emerged from the Loess Plateau in northern Shaanxi has become a historical mist. The Dashun Southern Ming Dynasty has disappeared one after another, and the world seems to be really peaceful. Even Yingtian has begun to regain its vitality.
Liu Zongmin's army was ordered to drive towards Songjiang east, and they had just left Nanjing for a day. The capitalists from all over the Ming Dynasty, who had completely relieved, rushed over like flies that smelled blood.
Although under the command of Nanming, even if the capital is lagging behind in development and business is not prosperous, this also indicates that there are many opportunities! Especially Nanjing City is also very important in geographical location, it is an important town in the south of the Yangtze River, with well-connected transportation, a large population, and rich resources. The business opportunities here are no less than those of coastal ports.
Those old Nanjing who claimed to be the people of the capital and had never seen any big battle under the feet of the emperor were also stunned. These rich grandsons from the north were too generous! They were like the strong wind of silver, spending money without blinking, and buying those burned houses and streets without blinking! Buying those empty mansions of the Donglin landlords! The silly pockets of Nanjing people who were looking at the house that was burned to black land were filled with silver.
On the other end, the remnants of the Dashun Army, who were finally divided into the remaining points, were directly pulled here, including food and accommodation for one or two taels of silver for a month, and a large amount of building materials were transported to Yingtian City. Nanjing, which had just experienced the war, was almost like a day after the incredible gaze of those old Nanjing.
While the Jiangnan landlords and Nanjing nobles were nervously watching, Mao Jue did not plunder their land as dynasties as they did in previous dynasties. On the contrary, the newly occupied Beiming government in Jiangnan also particularly safeguarded their land rights. In particular, it was the land of major landlord families after the Donglin reform and enclosed land after the Donglin reform, and specially approved new land use deeds for them at the Ministry of Revenue.
It was like a pie falling from the sky! The Jiangnan landlord family, who were already full of vigilance, was almost overjoyed.
But after a few days of happiness, these big landlords found it hard to find that no matter how they calculated it, they could not be considered an official! First of all, while acknowledging the land rights, all the slaves and tenants of Jiangnan landlords and their personal dependence were rejected by the new government. All Jiangnan peasants and serfs were restored to their free civil status, and the Ming Dynasty promulgated new citizenship to pronounce them.
Moreover, unlike the bound peasants to the land in all dynasties, all road guides and other things were destroyed. Peasants could freely go to any place in the Ming Empire, and no one could stop them.
Like Mao Jue who enslaved tenants like the Wu family in Jiangnan before, it was a death sentence, and there was no negotiation!
This has consequences. No one is willing to plow the fields. Even if you are farming, you will go to the Northwest to farm, and you will pay two taels of silver for a month. The farmers who come to recruit workers will also pay for travel expenses. Who will give you the tiring work of farming that one acre of three cents of land and still have no food to eat?
In the past six years, the landlords in the Southern Ming Dynasty lost all their hearts. In just one month, Jiangnan society under Mao Jue’s new policy had earth-shaking changes. Large areas of fertile fields in Jiangnan, which were once worth every inch of land, were abandoned, and the entire village disappeared. The once withered Jiangnan towns flourished again. Textile workshops, tea shops, cloth shops and even new factories emerged like bamboo shoots after a rain. Farmers transformed into small-city working class.
There are too many job opportunities in the Ming Dynasty!
If it was just to abandon the wasteland, it would be fine. It would be fined for a few acres of land and less food. However, the empire still had a method of reclamation. A fine of ten taels of silver per acre of land was fined for ten taels of silver a year, and the big landlords and families were punished to wipe their tears. For hundreds of years, they had to spit out the land upside down for the first time. One decent landlord on weekdays walked one by one tenant village, sending rice and noodles, begging the tenants not to leave, and even giving the land directly to them.
The world is really about to change. Jiangnan's sufficient population is like a box of high-quality fuel that was suddenly injected into the industrial engine, with full horsepower. The Ming Dynasty also completely intervened in this great geographical discovery and the rapid development of globalization.
However, in such an opportunity-filled era, some people should live a bad life or a bad life. Who made him offend the emperor!
