Chapter 134 Be good at mobilizing the masses
It's not easy to divide the fields. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is a really big project, and it can't be completed in a short period of time, you must know that even the Taizu of the National Dynasty took many years to complete.
Yang Feng is almost poor and white now, but it is not that the Taizu of the Dynasty is strong and strong, and even there are few people under him who are available, although he has done it before, but it is only a little bigger, not counting outside the gate, those who have been abandoned on the land, the righteous people can open up the wasteland by themselves, and those slaves in the Manchu control area are all planted in the original seed, in fact, only Jidong is the real division of the land. In total, only a few counties later exhausted Li Shoufu, during which Tian Jianxiu's Jinyiwei special service team cut hundreds of people just by cutting people, Li Yutian also suffered black arrows, but they didn't shoot him, and the field team also encountered more than a dozen bandit attacks, and caused more than 30 casualties.
As for the others, it is common to be verbally abused, to throw rotten eggs, and to have people set fire in the middle of the night.
There have even been two armed confrontations in the real sense, and even Yang Feng dispatched a brigade to directly blast a landlord's manor with artillery.
You can imagine how difficult it is!
There are only a few counties in total, and there are nearly 100,000 Ming troops stationed on the land of those counties, and those county orders are also specially selected by the emperor, and the result can be done to this point, and now it is a whole two and a half provinces that need to divide the fields. Among them, only one Shandong Chengxuan Political Envoy Department is subordinate to the 6 prefectures and 15 prefectures and 89 counties, plus Beizhili and a small part of Henan, adding up to more than 200 counties that need to divide the fields, and Yang Feng has no foundation in these two hundred counties, and the Ming army can't do the same control as Jidong, he doesn't have officials who can cooperate with the work, and he doesn't have so many field teams, in short......
"Need a geming!"
Yang Feng said with emotion: "It is decreed that the output of the land planted by all tenants in various places this autumn will not need to pay any rent to the landlord except for half of the output of the land planted by the tenants!" ”
"Your Majesty, this will cause chaos."
Li Yutian cautiously reminded him.
Those tenants don't have brocade guards to protect them, those landlords have a certain amount of armament in their hands, even if they are not armed, there are usually bandits outside, the world has been in turmoil over the years, and the bandits are also as numerous as a cow's hair, and those gentry and bandits collude with people are full of common sense. The emperor's move is to the original landlord's hatred of the court, to those tenants, in the Ming army's control of the local is not enough, those landlords must use force to deal with the tenants, they dare not resist the emperor, but to clean up the tenants is daring, the final result is that the place is a mess, and even the dead are not rare.
"That's messy!"
Yang Feng said with a wave of his hand.
"I have fulfilled my previous promise to the people, I have given them what they need, if they don't have the courage to protect what belongs to them, then they can only say that they deserve it, and, one more, if the landlord dares to steal grain, allow the tenants to defend their harvest by force, in this case murder is not guilty, the common people have been slaves for a long time, I want them to know that they can be people!"
Then he added.
He knew very well that if the division of land was carried out in a conventional way, it was estimated that the two and a half provinces alone would not be able to complete it within five years.
This requires a lot of manpower.
At the time of the Taizu of the National Dynasty, there were countless task forces stationed in various places, and the members of the task force were elite talents with firm beliefs, countless wars and tests, and rich experience. Since this is the case, let's just play ruthlessly, let the people solve this problem by themselves, it is nothing more than a little chaos in the place, and there are more dead people, but it is also good to let the people learn to fight, and this can also solve the clan system, you must know that those landlords and tenants, in fact, most of them are of the same clan, let them fight each other, basically not to mention completely destroying, but also have to hit it hard.
The clan system is also the emperor's enemy!
"Your Honor."
Li Shoufu said cautiously.
At the same time, he lamented in his heart that the emperor was becoming more and more ferocious, but it is conceivable that after this decree was issued, the landlords and tenants in various places were incompatible, and those landlords were full of anger and did not dare to vent to the emperor, and it happened that the tenants became their punching bag, and those tenants were supported by the holy decree, and they could no longer be willing to give their hard-working blood and sweat to the landlords, and the two sides would inevitably fight, and eventually bloody conflicts would continue to occur in various places.
There are benefits, though.
His life will be much better.
In this case, Li Shoufu won't say much, Daming has been in chaos for so many years, and he doesn't care about a few more days, and once this chaos passes, all kinds of contradictions will be completely resolved, and it can be regarded as a purification, as for how many people died, it was really not worth mentioning, if the land problem was not solved quickly, those starvation died more.
"Your Majesty, Lu Jiude is waiting to see you."
At this time, Liang Cheng suddenly walked in and reported to Yang Feng.
"Lu Jiude?"
Yang Feng was surprised, and then he and Li Yutian looked at each other, and the latter almost subconsciously exclaimed, "Hangzhou has fallen." ”
Indeed, Hangzhou fell.
Li Zicheng's army broke through the Huzhou defense line half a month ago, and Liu Zhaoji, the general soldier of the forbidden army sent to reinforce the south, was killed in battle, and Shi Kefa, the military department who supervised the war, was captured and refused to surrender and scolded Li Zicheng and was killed, the Tang king abandoned Hangzhou and fled south, Han Zanzhou, one of the two eunuch giants in the south of the Yangtze River, was trapped in Suzhou, and after the city was broken, he was martyred, and Lu Jiude boarded Huang Binqing's warship to escape from Songjiang and went north to ask for guilt.
"Where is King Tang?"
Yang Feng let out a long breath and said.
"Your Majesty, the King of Tang has withdrawn to Ningbo, and when the slave and maid come, the sailors of Nan'an Hou have arrived in Zhoushan, Ningbo will definitely not be guaranteed, and then he will take the King of Tang south to Fuzhou."
Lu Jiude lay there and said.
"You get up, you have done your best in the affairs of Jiangnan, and you can't be blamed for falling to such a point, Tang Wang, they will hold on to Fujian for the time being, where the mountains are high and the forests are dense and there are many epidemics, it is estimated that Li Zicheng has not been able to attack it in a short time, I have begun to move south, and it will not take long to wipe him out." As for you to stay in the north, it just so happens that Wang Chengenzhen has another use, you go to Ningyuan to exchange him back, and go there to keep an eye on the reclamation outside the pass, especially the battle against the remnants of Jiannu, and then pass on the decree, and also posthumously title Earl Shi Kefa, Liu Zhaoji chases the Marquis of Jin, Han Zanzhou, and Han Zanzhou also posthumously crowns an earl! ”
Yang Feng said.
The result was still very satisfying to him.
The base camp of the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River is actually Nanzhili and eastern Zhejiang, especially the triangle area of Nanjing, Shanghai and Hangzhou, which is not only the richest land in the Ming Dynasty, but also the nest of these guys in the Donglin Party. In this era, whether it is Fujian or Guangdong, it is not a very good place, except for the support of trade along the coast, most other places can not even be self-sufficient in food, and can only rely on sweet potatoes to live, it doesn't matter if such a place is washed or not, and then it is time for Li Zicheng to step on the brakes.
"Well, why are you looking at me like that?"
Yang Feng realized that both Li Yutian and Lu Jiude were looking at him with a very stunned gaze.
"Your Majesty, Gonggong Han is an internal official."
Li Yutian said cautiously.
"Neiguan, what's wrong with Neiguan? An internal official would rather commit suicide than surrender to a thief, isn't he worthy of an earl? I know the rules, but now that I am the Son of Heaven, then my rules are the rules, and in the future, regardless of internal and external officials, those who have meritorious service will be knighted, so does Han Zanzhou have a nephew or something? If there is one, I will be the master, and I will pass on him, and then I will take the knight. ”
Yang Feng said.
Then Lu Jiude was so moved that he lay on the ground and cried.
Of course, this is all a trivial matter, although the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty system cannot be knighted, but now the emperor has the final say, the Ming system has already destroyed him, and he doesn't care about one more eunuch knighted, saying that the Song Dynasty Tong Guan is also crowned king!
"Where is the army of the king of Pingxi?"
Yang Feng then asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, the latest battle report that was only delivered this morning, the army of King Pingxi has recovered Guangping, and it is estimated that the front line should be on the Yellow River in two days at most."
Li Yutian said.
Wu Sangui's army is completely bloodless all the way to the march, there is no resistance in the entire north of the Yellow River, even if those gentry are reluctant, they can only pinch their noses to accept this result, how can they have the ability to resist, their army is driving the front of the king, hundreds of thousands of green battalions returned to their hometowns with the clothes of the forbidden army, and the people everywhere cheered to welcome the army of the imperial court, those gentry closed the door and scolded God for not opening their eyes, and forcibly took away their holy lord Mingjun, so that a brutal man did the world again, but ......
That's all they can do.
What else can they do?
Revolt?
The dog emperor wished that they would resist and then raid the house directly.
Run away?
Where to run? The north is the dog emperor and the south is Li Zicheng, these two can be said to have no good things, they are all tigers and wolves, they have to go into the wolf's den when they escape from the tiger's den, and the only one who can still insist on the light is Shanxi, but the Jiang family is definitely hopeless, and what they control is nothing more than a small area from Datong to the Jinzhong Plain, relying on the surrounding mountains to survive there, and the final result will definitely be destroyed by the dog emperor or Li Zicheng.
There's nowhere to run!
Just leave it to fate, it's difficult for this dog to be a good person in the world, Holy Lord Mingjun......
The Holy Lord Mingjun was still pretending to be melancholy in the small valley of Xuanfu, and in short, the gentry were silently enduring the advent of a dark age in a ***** and uncooperative attitude, in the nostalgia for Dorgon.
"Send a decree to the king of Pingxi, no matter what location he chooses, he must cross the Yellow River, and at least occupy a city in Henan!"
Yang Feng said.
