Chapter 566: Loyal ministers, great loyal ministers(1/2)
Of course, Governor Yang himself must not know about the irrational actions of his brothers to complain about him...
He is very noble.
He would not care about the treacherous ministers' frame-up.
After all, as a loyal minister, he believed in His Majesty the Emperor's ability to distinguish between loyalty and treason.
"Why is this happening?"
Governor Yang took off his sunglasses sadly and looked at the busy mine in front of him.
This is Ma'anshan Iron Mine.
After the end of the Nanjing War, some miners who retreated to Nanjing returned and began to recruit workers in various places. After all, Governor Yang's method of dividing land would inevitably cause the unemployment of handicraftsmen in some cities. He also did not encourage the planting of cotton. In the future, all agricultural taxes were changed to land rent to collect grain, so farmers could not grow cotton again. Pay tax on cotton and buy grain. Why not do this? The final result is that the planting area of cotton and mulberry has shrunk significantly, and the scale of handicraft textiles that lack raw materials will also shrink accordingly.
Unemployment of handicraftsmen is bound to occur.
Yang Xin’s solution is to start mining and smelting iron cans to make cans.
Save it after it is finished.
This time, the corresponding cleaning of the Tianfu and the gentry in the surrounding prefectures brought him a large sum of silver. The silver shipped to the bank bank's silver warehouse these days has quickly exceeded 20 million taels.
He has enough silver to squander.
"Duke Yingguo, the official just wants to ask, are you still a minister of the Ming Dynasty?"
A civil servant said in front of him.
This is Zhang Bangzheng, the governor of Luzhou, and the new army in Nanjing has arrived from Wuhu.
Fortunately, the Yuxi River is temporarily frozen, so we can only march by land. The Luzhou regiment training in Chaohu doesn't have to worry about facing a 10,000-pound cannon, but it is almost the first month of the year, and at most it will be completely thawed next month. Chaohu can't hold on at that time. Moreover, the Luzhou regiment training is not only to face the southern line, but also to Fengyang's Yang family in the north, and Lu Zhaoxiong can only protect Yangzhou with all his might. The Huguang army's purpose is to block Yang Xin in the upstream, as long as they and the reinforcements in Jiangxi regiments block Anqing.
In this way, the Luzhou regiment training became a self-fighting army, with less than 20,000 muskets. Faced with Yang Xin's attack on the north and south, there were still poor people inside, which could almost be said to be hopeless.
The rest is waiting for the imperial army.
But the canal was thawed for three months, and the 100,000 troops from the court would not go south if they did not thaw.
In fact, they have not entered Beijing yet.
Although the war ended, it would take enough time for a hundred thousand troops to withdraw from the far away battlefield outside the border. At least the gentry of Luzhou could not wait for the royal army.
In the end, the prefect Zhang came resolutely, and he wanted to use his righteousness to stop the rebel minister.
“Bold!”
Li Zicheng angrily scolded.
As a personal soldier, he acted as if he was drawing his sword with a powerful force.
The soldiers on both sides were clamoring, and then they raised the flintlock rifle that had been stabbed by a gun. Even though they were solemn and righteous at this moment, Prefect Zhang couldn't help but tremble for a moment...
"Master Zhang, do you also want to frame Duke Ying with those treacherous ministers? Don't think that we gave you face as soon as you came from Yan'an. If the treacherous ministers who dare to frame Duke Ying will be shot first."
Li Zicheng shouted.
Prefect Zhang was actually the former prefect of Yan'an.
He was transferred to Luzhou last year, and I have to say that he was also unlucky enough.
"Don't be rude!"
Yang Xin waved his hand kindly and said.
Li Zicheng quickly pushed the knife back, and then the soldiers put away their guns.
"Master Zhang, are you from Baoding? Baoding is full of the city, Yang is from Renqiu, Hejian, and we are half a fellow villager! Others misunderstood me, have you misunderstood me? Yang's loyalty to His Majesty can be seen. Yang is indeed more decisive in his actions, but the rebel party has been defeated and may make a comeback at any time. The gentry from all over the country has been abducted by the rebels before. If they cannot use thunder to clear hidden dangers, it will be too late to regret when the rebel party makes a comeback.
Therefore, for these gentry with rebellion, it would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let one go."
Yang Xin said.
"Why did your army attack Chaohu?"
Zhang Bangzheng said.
"Protect the gentry of Luzhou!
What if the rebels do not attack Nanjing, but go north along the Qingyi River, cross Wuhu to attack Chaohu and then attack Fengyang?
Yang must think about the safety of Zhongdu!”
Yang Xin said.
"Aren't you going to fight the rich and share the land?"
Zhang Bangzheng said in confusion.
"This is the land that needs to be divided, but that is not the main purpose. The main purpose is to protect the gentry of Luzhou from the poisoning of the opposition party."
Yang Xin said frankly.
Zhang Bangzheng almost spitted on his face...
"Duke Yingguo, you claim to be a loyal minister. Is this a loyal minister?"
He said.
"A loyal minister?
Of course this is a loyal minister!
Moreover, it was Dazhong. Yang admitted that this move was to seize the land of the gentry, but Yang changed it to the imperial field and Yang seized the land of the gentry to His Majesty. Isn’t this Dazhong? As for right and wrong, is it the land of the world the king? Since it is all His Majesty’s land, what’s wrong?
Prefect Zhang, I want to ask you, are you still your minister?"
Yang Xinyi questioned the truth.
"Your Majesty has issued an order to return the land of the gentry and stop the militia of the imperial fields."
Zhang Bangzheng said.
The apocalypse has indeed issued an order.
After Wang Tiqian returned last time, the return of this return was distributed to other gentry in various places except Zhaoyi City, and the imperial edict to stop the militia of the imperial field was issued, and it was issued in an edict to officially announce the world.
"That's the treacherous minister who deceived the holy hearing!"
Yang Xin said very simply.
By the way, he and the Dukes of Gungu seemed to have taken the wrong script. He began to call for treacherous ministers in the court to deceive the saints, so he, a loyal minister, did not need to listen to the orders issued by the capital. But the Dukes of Gungu were just like he was lying under the banner of the Apocalypse, and promoted his rebellion under the banner of the emperor, just like he was woven charges against the gentry, and put him on the hat of treason.
"How can you know that you are not trying to rebel?"
Zhang Bangzheng said unbearably.
"Prince Zhang, I will ask you something, is this under the world a king's land? If so, then what is wrong with the land of the gentry that I, Yang Xin, copied, and presented to His Majesty the Majesty? If not, then Yang Xin, has nothing to say.
Let’s talk about it carefully today.
I don’t understand. Why do I become a treacherous minister like me who is loyal to His Majesty and do things that are beneficial to His Majesty? Why do I become a traitor and rebellion? Hasn’t this happened? When Taizu forced himself to move hundreds of thousands of families in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to fill Fengyang? Isn’t that the case? What’s wrong with Yang’s story? As the minister of His Majesty the Emperor, Zhang not only did not help me, but also came to obstruct me and even frame me for rebellion. Are I a loyal minister or are you a loyal minister?”
Yang Xin shouted.
"The world is the world of the people of the world..."
Zhang Bangzheng blurted out, but then he shut up.
At this time, the thought of Datong Kingdom was deeply rooted in the hearts of the gentry. After all, this is the theoretical basis for fighting against the monarchy. It is recognized that all the kings are the kings. So what Tianqi wants to do is right. The gentry must obey, even if he continues to confiscate the house and divide the land. But if the world is based on the world, then he has no right to confiscate the house at will. Whether the gentry supports or not, this sentence actually comes from the Six Strategies must be used.
Because this sentence is the basis for ensuring that their land will not be taken away at will.
The same is true for the gentry in the north.
Even at this time, even the great scholars in the north, such as Lu Jiuzheng, including **xing, had already begun to openly promote this sentence, and some censors began to quote, and Sun Chengzong was fueling the fire later, with the purpose of making Apocalypse accustomed to this sentence.
Then form the default fact.
They have always been like this when dealing with the emperor, such as the tax exemption of gentry, from Zhu Yuanzhang's exemption of labor service, to the later exemption of land tax, to the first grade of ten thousand acres, all of which have changed little by little, and even the changes cannot be found out at any time. The emperor could not clarify how the policy that lasted more than two hundred years ago. Not to mention this, even the evolution of the jade seal had to be specially studied by Zhu Guozhen and told Tianqi to clarify it with memorials.
In this way, civil servants can easily make the emperor gradually take changes that are beneficial to them as always, even natural.
Including the current definition of the world.
This sentence was originally written, but it was just a few words to be reinterpreted.
The words of the ancestors!
In the era in which the sages lived, the purpose of the sages saying this and the original intention of the sages saying this are nothing important. Just say this. When a few decades pass, it will become natural and natural.
There are so many examples like this.
but……
"Ah, I've revealed my true face!"
Yang Xin said with a smile.
"Master Zhang, your fox tail is revealed, and you also said I am treason. I think you are the one who rebels. The world is the world of the world. You dare to say such great rebellious words. Are you still the minister of His Majesty the Emperor?
Are you worthy of Your Majesty?
This world belongs to Your Majesty, and it was the battle of Taizu and left to Your Majesty, and the temple was passed down by the late emperor to Your Majesty.
To be continued...
