Chapter 229 Jiangnan Turbulence

Zhao Bing knew very well that after the founding of a new dynasty, when the war was basically over, the policy of care and softness would often be implemented to help restore social order and allow the people to recuperate, thereby alleviating the conflicts between the two tribes and achieving the goal of ruling.??                                  w?w?w?

?b?i?q?u?g     e?.

?cn Kublai Khan adopted the policy of using Han ministers to reduce killings as early as the southern expedition, one was to reduce resistance, and the other was to preserve the wealth of Jiangnan. Now that Jiangnan has basically pacified Jiangnan, he has issued consecutive edicts to announce the reduction of Jiangnan taxes, pardon criminals, allocated land to the people and other people-friendly policies. This is exactly the case.

Kublai Khan's motivation for doing this may not be to realize the Datong society, but to maintain his own rule, but it can indeed benefit the people. However, in the late Song Dynasty, the political sacrificial taxes caused the people to suffer. His implementation of good governance made people feel that the new dynasty was better than the old people. In this way, he gradually gave up the idea of ​​restoring the country and was willing to be a submissive people of the foreign race.

In this way, Kublai Khan's goal was achieved, but Zhao Bing was not happy. These people listened to him and would definitely oppose him in the future, and even obeyed his orders to attack him. The situation in front of him was that he could not protect himself. He had beaten others even if he wanted to fight, and he had the risk of a fire in his backyard. You think that when there was no concept of a country, your family would now be divided into houses and land, and he would not have to pay taxes for a few years. Who would have to eat the last meal but not the next meal? His head would be tied to his belt and followed you to restore the country, and would not run to this desolate overseas place to suffer.

Even if you give your own aircraft carrier now, you have to need someone to open it. You can't keep the door closed and be the emperor by yourself! So Zhao Bing was cruel. I can't beat you, and I have to be fucked with you. So the operation code-named "Skuou" began. He wanted to spread a series of rumors to make people believe that Kublai Khan introduced good policies, which was a weasel who wished New Year's greetings, and he was not in good faith. He was secretly holding it up! If you don't believe it, just look at the fierce information I broke out...

In general, God takes care of him, Zhao Bing is not lucky. Now is the chaotic era when the order collapses at the time of the Song and Yuan dynasties. It is an era when rumors are flooded, unrestrained, and can be popular. If it is a period of political harmony, you can spread these rumors, let alone the people do not believe it, you will not believe it yourself, and you will be sent to the government for reward as soon as you say it is said.

The Song-Meng war has lasted for more than 30 years, and countless people have died. The two tribes are as deep as the sea of ​​enemies. Now that the old country has just been destroyed, it is when people don’t know how the new dynasty deal with their old people. When they are the most confused and helpless, a little movement will cause these extremely fragile people to react excessively. Just like after a major earthquake, a slight sway will cause panic among those who have just survived death. Even if they know that this may be fake, they will escape to the open space under the control of thinking that they would rather believe that they have not believed in their own minds.

At this sensitive critical moment, Zhao Bing asked the spies from the Affairs Bureau to tell everyone these "stories". Of course, each different story is aimed at a specific area. In the occupied areas, the monster monks are mainly kidnapped young children, and in areas where the Yuan Dynasty has not yet entered, the killing of ten surnames is the focus. In the areas where the newly conquered, the golden juice cannon is the most popular. The tellers are serious and the listeners are afraid. These stories spread from ten to hundreds, and spread like a plague in various parts of the south of the Yangtze River.

Whether modern or ancient, China or foreign, every government will control public opinion, and local governments also have the responsibility to monitor people's sentiments and opinions. These stories that slander the "Sage" are not conducive to unity and stability on a large scale will definitely not escape the eyes and ears of the court, but the government's degree of refuting rumors is far from the spread of rumors. The desire to extinguish rumors spreading like wildfires and eliminate the panic of the people is not solved by just one or two righteous words and a few notices, not to mention that the credibility of the new government has not been established.

Under the terror, the people became nervous. When they saw wandering monks, they would hurriedly call their children to their side and hug them tightly. Some ignorant monks were beaten to death on the spot when they tried to strode the head and bless the children. Therefore, they usually wandered around the streets and alleys, and no one dared to mess with the monks often died inexplicably. The temples they presided over became the outlet for people to vent their fears and were destroyed by angry people. The human bones and magic tools hidden in them became evidence to kill young children. Everyone knows that the Yellow Cult is regarded as the national religion by the Tartars, and they are inevitably labeled as representing the country, which indirectly proves that rumors are not rumors.

In other areas, conflicts caused by the civil servants of the great conquest are also constant. From the initial passive refusal to the attack, to the killing of officials who went to the countryside to force the conquest, to the end, it turned into open confrontation. At the same time, the escape of major families in various places is becoming more and more intense. Local officials have the responsibility to consolidate the territory and safeguard the people, but they are powerless to face the tide of escape. In the past, there were cities, but it was not easy to get out as soon as the gates were closed. Now the city walls have been flattened, and people have pulled their feet out of the city. The large and powerful surnames simply set up villages to protect themselves and openly fight against the government.

The news of the turbulent in Jiangnan quickly spread to Dadu. Kublai Khan learned that the monks he sent to preach were killed, the temples were destroyed, and the people fled on a large scale, but the conquered people were of course very angry after the conquest. According to the temperament of the nomadic people, he naturally wanted to start a massacre. However, there were sober ministers in the court who thought that the war against rebellion in the north was still ongoing and could not draw troops on a large scale, while the remnants of the Song Dynasty on the coast of the southern coast were still in chaos. If a large-scale massacre would cause large-scale unrest, it would threaten the rule in Jiangnan.

Now that we know that the unrest arises from rumors, the most urgent task is to seize the creation and dissemination of the truth. The biggest beneficiary of the matter they see is the so-called general's office under the leadership of King Wei, and the matter must be inseparable from it. At the same time, foreign monks are temporarily prohibited from entering Jiangnan and stop recruiting civil servants, so as to alleviate the conflict between the two sides. In addition, we send troops to intercept the fugitive people, suppress the riots who openly confront the riots, and quickly calm the chaos. After the rebellion in the north is completed, we will dispatch troops to quickly go south to cooperate with local garrisons to clear away the remnants of the previous dynasty, so that the Jiangnan can be pacified.
