Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

However, Lin Dan Khan, who was like a miracle, also came to join in the fun!

The harassing tactics along the way are exactly the same as that barbarian dog emperor!

After passing Jinzhou and approaching Shengjing, Huang Taiji was surprised to find that of the [-] slave-building army he brought out, there are now only less than [-] left!More than [-] Han Army Eight Banners and Horqin cavalry were even more damaged.

When they arrived near Shengjing, they saw that there was not a single village nearby.Even the forests that grew in the vicinity were also set on fire.

How can this situation not make people angry?Huang Taiji, who was already recuperating, spurted out another mouthful of blood.After being rescued by someone, the first thing he said was to grit his teeth and say, "Child Chongzhen, Ben Khan swears not to have sex with you!"

Not to mention Huang Taiji vomiting blood here, Mao Wenlong and Liu Xingzuo were very happy.

Taking advantage of Huang Taiji's detour to Mongolia, Liu Xingzuo had already quietly returned to the army, and Sun Guozhen, who was full of bad water, even transferred two guards from Denglai to Liu Xingzuo.

When Huang Taiji's soldiers surrounded the capital, Liu Xingzuo had already joined forces with Mao Wenlong, detoured along the way, and went to Shenyang to attack.When they reached the border of Liaoyang, the two men divided their troops again. Mao Wenlong led the army to besiege Liaoyang, while Liu Xingzuo continued to march towards Shenyang.

In the end, when Huang Taiji returned to the army, Liu Xingzuo, who also failed to break through the city wall of Shenyang, saw that the situation was not good, so he made a decisive decision and executed the strategy of burning and looting all around Shenyang perfectly. Attack Liaoyang.

In the end, before Huang Taiji's army reached Shenyang, the two bad species broke Liaoyang.

After the city of Liaoyang was broken, Liu Xingzuo asked: "Shuai Mao, Liu remembers that His Majesty once said in the order to you, 'If you save people and lose land, all people and land will survive'?"

Mao Wenlong is quite proud of the fact that he has been instructed by the emperor himself—we are also regarded as disciples of the emperor, right?It is you, Yuan Manzi, who has been appointed as the supervisor of Ji Liao, and dare to yell in front of me?

He stroked his beard with his hand and said, "That's right. Your Majesty has made a confession that in Dongjiang, the priority will be to protect people first, and you can temporarily give up the place if necessary."

But Liu Xingzuo said: "Since this is the case, then the same is true for Jiannu?"

Mao Wenlong was taken aback, and asked, "That's right. Since His Majesty said so, it must be the same for Jiannu."

Liu Xingzuo immediately grinned and said, "Since that's the case, there are quite a few Jian slaves in Liaoyang City!"

Liu Xingzuo said: "That's right. Anyway, according to the report from the spies, Huang Taiji, the dog Jiannu, will not arrive in Shenyang until tomorrow."

Mao Wenlong also grinned grinningly and said, "Since this is the case, why don't we make a fortune. We will meet again at the city gate before sunset."

The two agreed that Liu Xingzuo would go east and Mao Wenlong would go west.

"Huang Taiji has been killed by the Ming Emperor at the foot of the capital!"

"Huang Taiji was bombarded to death by Ming army cannons!"

"Dorgon was poisoned to death!"

"The [-] troops of the Ming Dynasty are attacking Liaoyang, and they are going to slaughter the city! Run!"

As the news spread more and more chaotic, the entire city of Liaoyang was completely in chaos.

When the sun was setting and Mao Wenlong and Liu Xingzuo met at the city gate, there were no more shouts of killing in Liaoyang City—the Jian slaves in the city were almost slaughtered.

Counting heads in two, Mao Wenlong won by seven or eight, and said with a smile, "It's a pleasure to work with brother Liu! If it's Yuan Manzi instead, he will have to babble again!"

Liu Xingzuo said: "The enmity between Liu and Jiannu is irreconcilable! This time, he killed them happily!"

Seeing that most of the Han people in the city were gathered at the gate of the city, the two decided after some discussion that they would not do anything but take the Han people in Liaoyang City to Dongjiang.As for this city of Liaoyang, if it is set on fire, let Jiannu be sad!

Chapter 39 The Difficult Business Tax

When Huang Taiji sent Amin to lead troops to support Liaoyang, Mao Wenlong and Liu Xingzuo had already set fire to Liaoyang City, and they ran back to Dongjiang with the Liaodong Han people and soldiers from Dongjiang Town!

Huang Taiji, who was rewarded by Amin, was even more angry, but at this time Emperor Chongzhen, who led his troops back to the capital from Xuanfu, was very happy.

Since Emperor Chengzu, because the princes were taught by civil officials, the civil service system gradually controlled the government.Even if Emperor Jiajing and Emperor Zhengde used eunuchs to contend with them, they still could not solve this problem.

In fact, from Chongzhen's point of view, for about 5000 years, all dynasties, except the Qin and Han Dynasties, could not avoid this problem.In particular, this problem has planted the root of disaster since Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty exclusively respected Confucianism and deposed all schools of thought.

But why can the founding emperor of each dynasty ignore the civil service system?

Because the founding emperor of each dynasty is the immediate emperor.Whether it's Liu Bang, an old rascal, or Li Er, who has Hu blood, or Zhao Kuangyin from the Northern Song Dynasty.These people are basically all immediately won the country, and their prestige in the army is so high that they are even mythical.

These founding emperors held military power in their hands, and they were not afraid of rebellion at all.For them, whether they are civil servants or nobles, when they hold a butcher knife in their hands, they must either obey or die.

Chongzhen really wanted to raise his butcher's knife at the honest gentlemen of the Donglin Party who thought the water was cold.But this is just a thought.It's okay to kill a few occasionally, but if they are all slaughtered, who will do things for themselves?Factory guards and eunuchs without checks and balances?

The more he thought about it, the more headache Chongzhen thought about it.Today, I will slowly tear up with these officials and gentlemen in the court hall.

Just as soon as he came to court, the civil and military officials took the lead under the leadership of Wen Tiren, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and congratulated Emperor Chongzhen on his personal conquest and return with a great victory.After some common flattery, Chongzhen said: "The first emperor abandoned my ministers and left. Since I ruled the pole, I built slaves and knocked on the pass, and besieged the capital. I have little virtue, and I can't conquer the barbarians far away. I should fast For three days, reflect on yourself."

There is a saying that the master worries about the humiliation of his ministers, and the master humiliates his ministers to death.Regardless of whether it was pretending or not, the officials still fell to their knees in Hu Lala, and shouted: "This minister's fault is not your Majesty's fault."

Chongzhen said: "That's all. I feel a lot about this personal conquest."

When the ministers heard this, their hearts trembled, and the center secretly said, the topic is coming.

Looking coldly at the officials below, Chongzhen continued: "Wen Aiqing, how did the Ming Dynasty establish the ranks of the four peoples?"

Wen Tiren said: "Returning to Your Majesty, since Emperor Taizu Hongwu established the country, we have established the four peoples as scholars, farmers, workers, and merchants. Scholars are in front, farmers are next, and workers and merchants are behind. Listed separately, not to be confused with the Four Peoples."

Chongzhen nodded when he heard the words, and said: "I heard that all herdsmen must know their diseases. Since I am not sensitive, I also deeply agree. I think that the four peoples should be born equal.

However, in the Xuanfu, where I came into view, the poor had almost no clothing to cover their bodies, and the rich were covered in silk.There are also eight merchants, including Fan Yongdou, who secretly established slaves and betrayed the country. I hate them deeply.

Therefore, I want to get rid of this ancestral system, so that those who are merchants can farm and study, and those who are workers can also do business, farm and study.What do you think? "

Even if some censor jumped out to object: "Your Majesty, this is the law established by the ancestors, how can we change it lightly?"

Forget about Chongzhen's obsessive energy, Nima, aren't you all people with vested interests?Are you talking about the ancestral system with me at this time?Shouldn't it be shouting the emperor Shengming?

Chongzhen said: "I heard that the time is easy. The change is easy. I also heard that if you are poor, you want to change. Today, I want to slightly change the legal system of my ancestors. I hope that you can teach me."

Wen Tiren is worthy of being called the first assistant of the puppet. Wen Tiren, who has always done what the emperor says, immediately went out to play and said: "Your Majesty is wise. I also think that the restrictions can be relaxed. But once the restrictions are relaxed, the people will lose control. I'm afraid they will be rehabilitated." Chaos?"

Chongzhen said: "Since this is the case, let's try it out in Xuanfu in advance. Order Jin Yiwei to pay more attention. If it is possible, let it be done. If not, let it be known. This is also the way of a sage."

Then, Chongzhen said again: "I think it is natural for businessmen to seek profit. But I can't bear this kind of behavior without a country and no king. Therefore, I want to reopen the business tax. What do you think?" ?”

The officials thought, this is your ultimate goal, right?Thank you for going around for half a day!

Immediately, Shi Fenglai, the second assistant to the cabinet, went out to play and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty's reopening of commercial taxes is a good deed to enrich the national treasury.

It's just that taxation in various places is extremely confusing now.The local yamen will accept it, and the mine supervisor will also accept it.On the way, the states set up cards again to collect them.

Under the layers of exploitation, goods that were originally worth a penny had to be sold for more than a tael of silver in order to make a profit, otherwise they would lose money.

It is precisely because of this that private smuggling is rampant.If it is dealt with heavily, the flow of goods among the people will be blocked, and it will be inconvenient for the people.If left unchecked, there will be no business tax to be collected by the country.

Therefore, since Emperor Jiajing, the state government has set up more tax supervisors to collect mining taxes, and this business tax is basically uncollectable. "

Chongzhen saw it, and this Nima belonged to the eunuch again!Looking at the elders of Donglin, the old and mature ones all look like they have nothing to do with themselves, but there are a few young censors who are eager to try, wanting to play in the class, but shrink back.
