Absorbing the investment of the capital's bigwigs is a good thing to kill multiple birds with one stone.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the fiscal situation had fallen into a serious stagflation. On the one hand, the country is poor and the people are poor, and on the other hand, the gentry class hoards a large number of stolen state taxes and does not participate in economic circulation. Natural disasters occur frequently in various places, and the upper echelons have already felt the crisis and began to store grain and grass for the winter.

However, these people did not expect that there would be a person named Li Zicheng, who finally coulded all the silver in their hands...... 20 million taels.

Later generations knew that if you want to develop the economy, you must have money in circulation. So the traversal threw out a land purchase plan: the big guys in the capital have money, and instead of waiting to be tortured, it is better to take it out and buy land as soon as possible.

In this way, the originally blocked blood vessels are equivalent to re-working, and the money purchased will be used on the spot by the public, invigorating the economy of the north, and buying the northern refugees, killing multiple birds with one stone.

The policy of requiring customers to bring their own farming personnel is a must. It can even be said that this is the real purpose of crossing the crowd to absorb the capital of the capital.

In this way, the accusation of "anti-thieves absorbing displaced people" does not exist.

The ancients actually knew very well about this set of tricks, for thousands of years, the ancestors played the leftovers, in the case of frequent disasters and wars today, a force wantonly absorbs displaced people, in addition to wanting to rebel, is there another explanation?

The previous accusation against Cao Zongbing's bullet seal, the most serious crime above, is to absorb displaced people, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty acquiesced to this.

Therefore, Cao Zongbing threw out the land purchase policy in time to hedge this accusation.

The core of the land purchase policy is that it gives investors a false concept: the land is bought by Lao Tzu, and the tenant farmers are also Lao Tzu's farmers, and these assets are not surnamed Cao. Since the population and land are scattered in the hands of the masters, it is not illegal to transport people to Yizhou.

Yes, that's how the old men think about it so far.

In addition, some of the gentlemen who were deeply hostile to Cao Zongbing also retained their later moves.

In the future, if the surname Cao is acquainted, everyone will live like this; If the surname Cao doesn't know each other, then I'm sorry. The land and population are all old men, it is really not good, and the imperial court can also be operated to change the land and return to the river in Yizhou and set up counties...... Although the county magistrate will have to pay agricultural taxes when he comes, there is nothing to do with the surname Cao.

This is a lose-lose reserved ultimate.

It's still the same sentence: You're eyeing other people's xx, and others are eyeing ...... The old man's ideas look beautiful, and as for the result, we'll see.

In short, after the introduction of the land purchase policy, the biggest accusation facing Cao Zongbing does not exist. The "self-transporting tenant farmers" by investors broke all legal constraints, made the crossing quickly open up the situation in the north, and opened up a more "coarse" population transportation channel with the help of the wind.

After the two most important terms of tax exemption and self-transportation have been negotiated, the remaining minor policies are less important. After all, investors should send a team to inspect first, and when the time comes, they will go to Yizhou to feel it, and they will understand all policies.

After everything was settled, the day when General Cao left the Beijing Division finally arrived.

On the morning of April 27, 1630, Zhongyongbo, the governor of Zuodu, Cao Chuan, bid farewell to Emperor Chongzhen in public at the court meeting, and after receiving gifts such as coins and brocades from the emperor again, Zhongyongbo bid farewell to the mansion under renovation and Xue Shi who stayed behind, and led the team of soldiers to leave the capital.

Unexpectedly, on the way out of the city, there were still Ming people standing by the long street to see them off. Although the number of people is not large this time, the enthusiasm of the people is still the same, and Lord Cao is in the capital in the praise of "Gonghou Wandai".

Out of the capital, and the large army of the military camp outside the city converged, looked back at the ancient city that was gradually moving away, and the group of people through the group let go of the reins of the horse, and led the team to the direction of Tianjin.

From this moment on, after half a year, the change that represented the countdown to the death of the Ming Kingdom in history marked a special end to the process of being changed by the people.

..........................

The changes in history are far-reaching and significant.

This battle is not just the first time that Houjin entered the customs and robbed. It had an immeasurable impact on the political economy of the Ming Kingdom, and even on the operational confidence of the government and the opposition.

In addition, in this change, some seemingly inconspicuous but far-reaching changes have also quietly appeared.

From the perspective of superficial impact, first, this battle caused the Ming Kingdom to shake and the temple to shake.

Huang Taiji led the army to besiege the city, marking the shattering of Chongzhen's dream of Zhongxing. In the battle, the defense system of the Gyeonggi region of the Ming Kingdom was severely damaged, and the six major soldiers of the general army, Zhao Shujiao, Man Gui, Sun Zushou, Ma Dengyun, Heiyunlong, and Zhu Guoyan, were either killed or captured.

In addition, Wang Qia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Zhang Fengxiang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, Wang Yuanya, the governor of Zunhua, and Liu Ce, the military affairs of the prime minister of Jiliao, were either killed or imprisoned, and the court panicked and the vitality of the bureaucracy was greatly damaged.

Second, the situation is chaotic. After the retreat of the Later Jin army, the Ming court not only did not learn a lesson, but took the opportunity to engage in party struggle. Since the Donglin Party Cabinet University scholars Han, Qian Longxi, Cheng Jiming, and Li Biao have been resigned, and Zhou Yanru, Wen Tiren and others have been replaced in the cabinet, and the six ministries and nine secretaries have also changed accordingly.

Third, the defense of the capital was lax. Prior to that, Kyoshi had lived 180 years of peace. When the war suddenly came, there were no practical preparations from top to bottom, the defending army was in chaos, and the capital was almost lost to the hands of Houjin.

In the end, the wealth was plundered and the people were destroyed. The Gyeonggi and Jingdong regions were wantonly plundered, the people were devastated, and all industries withered. All of the above exacerbated the social contradictions of the Ming Kingdom and accelerated the demise of the Ming Kingdom.

This battle is of great historical significance. It marked a major shift in the strategic situation between the Ming and Qing dynasties: the previous Ming state's fortress advance, economic blockade, and foreign alliance policies all collapsed one after another before and after this battle, and the Ming state permanently lost its strategic initiative.

In addition to these losses, there are other things that have escaped from Pandora's box.

Shortly after the Jisi Change, the Ming Dynasty was forced to relax the restrictions on "donating classes" under financial pressure and began to sell official hats on a large scale.

Before this, although the imperial courts of previous dynasties also sold officials, they all sold the title of prisoner to businessmen, so that their children could participate in the imperial examination in the future, and the total amount was controllable.

However, this time the sale of officials is large-scale, and as long as the whole country pays money, they can become officials, and they can even buy real official positions. Then the wind intensified, and in the last year of Chongzhen, a Beijing official sold it for 3,000 taels of silver.

As we all know, whenever the imperial court sells its official position on a large scale, it should also go out of business, such as the end of the Han Dynasty, the end of the Qing Dynasty, and the end of the Ming Dynasty.

While opening the floodgates to sell officials, Chongzhen continued to raise taxes. Historically, in the next year, the emperor raised the Tianxia Tianxia class from 9 cents to 1 cent and 2 cents, distributed more than 6.67 million taels of silver, and collected more than 5.22 million taels of silver. plus customs duties, salt taxes, and miscellaneous items, a total of seven hundred forty-eight thousand two hundred and ninety-eight taels of silver were levied.

The imperial court added one or two taxes, and the officials under it had to at least take the opportunity to collect three taels of taxes to fill their pockets, so the essence and blood of the Ming Dynasty were sucked dry in this round.

..........................

The last bad consequence of the Jisi Revolution was that it led to the growth of the Shanshan peasant army.

Previously, Chongzhen saw the Houjin army entering the customs, so he issued an edict of King Qin.

After receiving the edict, Zhang Mengjing, the governor of Yansui, Liu Guangsheng, the governor of Shaanxi, Yang He, the governor of Shaanxi, and Mei Zhihuan, the governor of Gansu, immediately dispatched more than 17,000 elite soldiers from each border town, and the troops led by the general soldiers of the five major towns along the border entered the king of Beijing.

On the way to Beijing, the nightmare began.

First of all, there was such a rule in the Ming Dynasty: after the guest army arrived at the land, no grain would be released that day.

After the army of Zhang Honggong, the chief soldier of Shanxi, arrived in the Jingyuan area, the panicked military department first ordered the unit to be stationed in Tongzhou, then transferred to Changping the next day, and sent to Shouliang Township on the third day.

This caused Zhang Honggong's army to go without food or drink for three consecutive days.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the military system of the border towns was originally rotten to the bones, and there was no discipline at all. The soldiers had been short of food and pay for a long time, and they were originally complaining, but this time the king of Qianliqin couldn't even eat enough in the end.

Hungry and hungry, the soldiers had no choice but to rob the people of the garrison for food.

A funny scene appeared: the imperial court arrested the two and imprisoned them on the grounds that Zhang Honggong, the chief soldier of Shanxi, and Geng Ruqi, the governor of Shanxi, had no way to rule.

Then the border soldiers brought by the two scattered in a hurry and ran back to Shanxi. After that, the imperial court put Zhang Honggong and Geng Ruqi to death, and the Qin Wangjun along the way was gone.

In addition, the Qinwang army on this road in Yansui, because the general soldier Wu Zimian withheld military rations (this situation was very common in the border army at the end of the Ming Dynasty), which caused a large number of soldiers to flee back to Yansui halfway.

And Zhang Mengjing, the governor of Yansui, was afraid and angry because of this incident, and actually died of grief, and the Qinwang army all the way was gone.

Also because of the reason that the food for the Anjia family was not distributed, the Qinwang army in Gansu also mutinied in Anding County: after the conflict intensified, the sergeant Wang Jincai and others instigated the soldiers to kill the general who blocked them, snatched the money and grain in the camp and ran back to their hometown.

In this way, the originally vigorous border army of Qinwang was all dispersed halfway because of the financial and ** problems of the imperial court.

The most terrifying thing is that most of these deserters with military skills later joined the peasant armies of all walks of life who were rising up in Shanxi: Gao Yingxiang, Wang Jiayin, Zhang Xianzhong, and Li Express, who had already emerged, and the deserters became the backbone of the old camp of Wang from all walks of life.

The impact of this: the elite of the border towns was withdrawn, and the strength of the peasant army increased significantly. With the three years of Chongzhen as the boundary, the kings of all walks of life further gathered their strength and began to try to wander in a large area in the north of the Ming Kingdom.

If before the change, Daming was still a building with a dilapidated appearance, then after that, the building had collapsed the first load-bearing column and became a real dangerous house.

And in this plane, although the traversal crowd patched in time, the steel bars inside the broken building of Daming have long been corroded. From a global point of view, the collapse is irreversible, and crossing the crowd will not save the situation.

In other words, the traversal crowd actually doesn't want to save it.
