Chapter 551 The disintegrating Ming Dynasty
After Zhu Yifeng raised the banner of rebellion, he immediately followed by the banner of rebellion against Jiangxi Governor Tian Zhen from Germany.
The one who had been removed from office before.
After all, even a nine thousand-year-old party member cannot continue to use it for so long. Tian Zhen is not a nine thousand-year-old party member, or to be precise, a neutral faction, but at this time, the neutral faction is not possible, and even the eunuch party is full of confrontation...
After all, Yang Xin is so hateful.
He was corrupt and abused the law, and he was raiding his home from time to time. Even if he monopolized finance in various places, even those businesses were recruiting troublemakers in various places. Everyone could tolerate these. After all, no one wanted to provoke him. As long as he was not forced to force him, there was no need to provoke such a mad dog. But Yang Xin was really intolerable to fight against local tyrants and divide the land. Even if it was Wuxi style, it was not possible. The northern gentry was actually even more afraid. The southern gentry had industry and commerce, and there was a way out, but the northern gentry had nothing but land.
I really didn't dare to do it before.
After all, everyone knows Yang Xin’s combat power.
But now the gentry of Jiangnan has surrounded him in Nanjing.
Who doesn't want to beat the dog in the water?
In fact, they were also largely cheated by Shang and Zhou dynasties.
During the propaganda of Shang and Zhou dynasties, of course, they could not say that it was difficult to open Nanjing, nor how cruel the Beiyang Navy's cannon was. He could only describe the situation in Jiangnan, and he could control Nanjing soon and use a 10,000 kilogram cannon to defeat the thief and ten thousand chunks.
It is difficult for gentry from other places to know the real situation. In addition to Lu Bu of Shang and Zhou dynasties, they were spread through their own information channels.
There must be exaggeration during the transmission process.
And at present, it is indeed that the Datong Army surrounded Nanjing and trapped Yang Xin inside, while the Zhongyong Army and the Danggang Army were surrounded by Huwei Army, Datong Army, and the imperial government army, together in Zhaoyi. The Yang family's village in Fengyang was stared at by the 20,000 Jiangbei Army and Huai'an and Luzhou, which were pieced together by the Governor of the Cao Transportation, Lu Zhaoxiong, and other groups. The Yang family's village in the north could not move either. It can be said that this traitor was completely isolated in Nanjing.
The only problem is that Tianqi refused to admit that Yang Xin was rebelling and continued to protect this minion.
But now I can't take care of him.
Besides, this tyrant monarch is not a good thing, so there is no need to count on him. In fact, it is said that His Majesty the Emperor no longer cares about foreign affairs, because his steam engine has reached a critical stage, let alone foreign affairs, even the Qianqing Palace rarely returns, and he eats and lives in the Academy of Sciences.
It's like being caught in an evil spirit.
Wei Zhongxian was in charge of external affairs, and Wei Zhongxian would never say that Yang Xin rebelled no matter what.
This foolish monarch has no hope at all.
Immediately afterwards, Yunyang Governor Bi Maokang raised the banner of rebellion in Yunyang...
It's the one who makes a self-generated musket.
However, he was not needed at this time. Now there are many firearms in the Ming Dynasty, and the flintlock rifle has become a standard weapon in the navy of the two oceans. Governor Bi can concentrate on his rebellion. He selected elite officials in Yunyang and quickly formed a three thousand rebellion army, and then went south to Jingzhou with great courage.
Then there is the Governor of Huguang, Jiangxi Military Affairs and the Governor of Huguang, Cai Fuyi.
He raised the banner of rebellion in Wuchang.
He also forced a bunch of vassal kings in the territory of Chu, King Jing and others to jointly submit a complaint for Xu Hongji and others. He gathered in Wuchang, including the governor of Yunyang and the governor of Panyuan who immediately joined, and a total of 20,000 troops were sent to the east and heading for Anqing. Those who would not participate in the attack on Nanjing were just staring at the Yangjiazhuang households in Fengyang with Lu Zhaoxiong. After all, Lu Zhaoxiong's 20,000 people were a bit insufficient. Those farmers really rebelled, and who might destroy whom.
Zhu Xieyuan, the military affairs officer of Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou, forced the King of Shu to submit a memorial, while Duke of Qian took the initiative to submit a memorial, also complaining about Xu Hongji and others. He and Guizhou Governor Wang Sanshan immediately ordered the troops of Sichuan, Guizhou to enter a state of alert, and those who were short of wages were given to pay, and those who were short of wages were strictly prevented from supporting Yang Xin in the country.
At this point, almost half of the Ming Dynasty had completely escaped from the Apocalypse and acted on their own.
"This is not just Southeast Mutual Protection, it's simply about the autonomy of each province!"
Yang Xin was quite proud.
"Master, you can take away your magical powers!"
Wang Tigan said in a pleading tone.
He came to hold Governor Yang under the order of Jiu Qiansui. This formation really scared Jiu Qiansui. The entire Ming Dynasty was almost facing a disintegration.
Actually, it's gone.
Zhejiang was completely under the control of the Datong Army.
The six ministries in the Southern Zhili have completely ignored the six ministries in the capital and began to issue orders themselves. Now even other provinces have begun to get involved. Fujian Governor Zhu Yifeng intercepted some of the taxes on the grounds of seeking rebellion. Huguang and Jiangxi and other places also stopped paying salaries to the vassal kings for military affairs on the grounds of seeking rebellion. If this continues, more and more people will be involved. At that time, the emperor should not leave the capital.
"Eunuch Wang, how do I gain magical powers?"
Yang Xin said.
"Mr., the nine thousand years old means that the emperor's majesty's grand amnesty is a general amnesty. All the previous things were written off. The Datong Army was pardoned. Xu Du and Zhang Mingzhen were pardoned. All the crimes of officials in various places were not investigated. The Duke of the Duke of Wei and others were not mentioned whether it was right or wrong. He re-selected people from each family. The land and property they had previously distributed were still divided into militias, and they also gave land to Duke of Wei and other families elsewhere.
The gold and silver confiscated by each family are considered to be borrowed by Your Majesty. The remaining ones will be returned to the rest. The others will be returned to the treasury within Your Majesty.
But the land of the gentry in Nanjing must be returned.
There was no real difference between the two sides. The Duke of Wei and others naturally could not break the trust of the military households. Besides, many of them were indeed the official fields they occupied.
But the gentry can no longer be divided.
As for the navy's bombardment of Wusongkou and injured Dong Qichang even if it was Huang Yinen's head, he ordered the bombardment of Wusongkou. As for the navy's deputy general Yang Yi to stop him, he resisted and was shot dead by Yang Yi. As for the other ships, they were unknown and acted according to the flagship orders, there was nothing to be investigated."
Wang Tigan said.
"Does Eunuch Wang think they will listen?"
Yang Xin said with a smile.
"If they don't listen, then after the Jiannu dealt with the 100,000 Liaodong border troops heading south."
Wang Tigan said.
It is obvious that Jiu Qiansui also has a complete plan and has already figured out how to end it, but it is indeed feasible. After all, the emperor still has a powerful legion. If the elite troops from Liaodong travel south at the same time and return the land of the gentry in Nanjing, it will show that the gentry in the world will not continue to divide the land, then the gentry will accept it.
But it is impossible to really go back to the past.
The gentry would not hand over the armed forces, and at most they would truce. However, whether it was the Datong Army or the regiments, they would continue to exist, and then establish autonomous regimes in Jiangnan, and continue to fight against the emperor when needed, and even gentry in other places would follow suit. In the end, they would still fight, but in the later years, the gentry would really set off a war similar to the British civil war when needed, and completely lock the imperial power in the cage.
After tasting the sweetness, they couldn't help but feel the temptation.
The fire has already burned, and it is not possible to solve the problem of the 100,000 cavalry trying to destroy it.
The Apocalypse has 100,000 cavalry, and there are also groups of trainers. If you really want to calculate it, it is hard to say whether the current Liaodong army can beat the Datong army, let alone those gentry have a bunch of bastions.
Moreover, without the tax paid by these gentry, Tianqi probably would not be able to continue to support the Liaodong Legion. It was nearly 6 million taels a year, and the 9,000-year-old inner treasury lasted for at most one year. Even without these people paying taxes, even the salaries of officials were not enough. Moreover, Tianqi soon had to face the famine in the northwest. At that time, without the support of Jiangnan taxes, he could not solve the famine. The final result was that the rebellious hungry people swept out, but this time the gentry in Jiangnan would not care about his life or death.
So, Yang Xin would not do this.
He wanted to take advantage of this war to complete the push against Jiangnan, use the militia system and grain collection to destroy the cotton fields here, and then use all the land to grow grain, so that the land can return to the farming era and the era when Suhu is mature and the world is full of natural disasters. This land is indeed beginning to sprout capitalism and is beginning to take the first step towards industrial civilization, but unfortunately, what Yang Xin wants is agriculture, and he wants to reverse the situation. This is an irreconcilable contradiction between the two sides.
This is a battle of routes.
But Tianqi will definitely not continue to support Yang Xin's trouble.
Therefore, Governor Yang, a loyal minister, has become increasingly unable to continue to play.
"How is the battle in Liaodong?"
Yang Xin asked.
"It's no big deal for Liaodong. Jiannu continued to besiege Liaoyang, and Sun Chuanting was trapped in the city and held it.
But he had already explained that he was holding Jiannu inside and was exhausted. Outside, Lu Xiangsheng commanded the Liaodong army to defend, and waited for the opportunity to give Jiannu a final blow.
These days, not only did Jiannu not be able to open Liaoyang, but he suffered heavy losses.
But there was no sign of retreating.
Some Korean soldiers who fled to Shenyang said that Jiannu mainly drove the Eight Banners Korea and Green Banner to attack the city this time, with the purpose of not only attacking Liaoyang. It is good to capture it. If Liaoyang cannot be captured, it will consume a large amount of Eight Banners Korea and Green Banners, so they can save food when they go back. Even now they have begun to use dead bodies as food under the city of Liaoyang, and the Korean army wants to escape, but their families are all in the hands of Jiannu, so they dare not escape. The Jiannu who robbed grain from the outer edge of Liaoyang was blocked by Lu Xiangsheng. Cao Wenzhao's cavalry fought with the Jiannu cavalry in Liaodong these days, but they won more than defeated less. It can be said that the current Jiannu is no longer worth worrying.
In addition, Sun Yuanhua and Zu Dashou stationed in western Liaoning to resist the Western Barbarians.
The King of Hue had already attacked the border.
But Sun Yuanhua and King Shuncheng, together with Xu Shungong and Kaiyuan's military preparatory Chen Yujie, firmly blocked his supposedly 100,000 cavalry.
In addition, the King of Shunyi and Mangui's troops attacked from Xuanfu and were fighting against the Mongolian cavalry in Mobei who were recruited by the King of Hue. Most of the people who reported to the capital these days had good news, especially the Mangui's troops had been in the process of winning thousands of levels. However, the cavalry in Mobei were all hungry and said to have started eating dead bodies. They seemed to have really gotten a dead end. They probably wouldn't give up if they didn't grab the food this time.
What Mr. Sun Ge Lao meant was better to surrender them and turn to the King of Hue.
Just some food on the left and right.”
Wang Tiqian said.
