"Lord Wang, the little prince of the Zhu family is really powerful, he really has a little thunderous means, the nobles and lords in the southeast are all finished, and they are waiting to destroy the family for more than 200 years, tens of millions of taels of silver can be copied, not to mention the land, now his plate in the southeast is stable."

At this time, Fan Wencheng was in the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Wuying Hall in the Imperial City of Beijing, and reported to his master Dolgon the secret report he had just received about the "Nanjing Eunuch Rebellion".

Eunuchs or something, the Qing court doesn't believe it. In Fan Wencheng's view, Zhu Cihong's move is to take away the wealth accumulated by the nobles and ministers of the southeast for more than 200 years. With this wealth, Prince Zhu's rule in the southeast was secured

"He is stable in Jiangnan, so how can we be stable in Beizhili?"

Dolgon's long, pale face had no expression, and he didn't seem to have much interest in Zhu Cihong making a fortune in Jiangnan.

Because it is impossible for him to attack Zhu Cihong now, and he has no time to deal with Li Zicheng in Shanxi.

For the Qing Dynasty, there are two top priorities, one is to move the capital. Only by moving the capital from Shengjing outside the Guanxi to Beijing in the Guan, can the land of the Central Plains be further annexed with Beijing as a large stronghold.

The second is to occupy a house in a circle

It's a bit of a heroic deed, and it's a little bit the same. The Qing Dynasty gained a firm foothold in the Guannei, and it also relied on the notorious land enclosure order and house occupation order

"Lord Wang, the minions have already asked people to investigate." Fan Wencheng understood what Dolgon meant, and immediately replied, "There is a lot of ownerless land for the Han people in Gyeonggi County, tens of millions of acres, and it can be all enclosed and distributed to the kings and soldiers of the east."

"There are so many" Dolgon was a little incredulous, "Jingshi is a densely populated place, how can there be so many borderlands"

"There really is," Fan Wencheng said, snapping his fingers, "First, the land of the guard house in the Southern Dynasty, and the land of the guard house is an official-owned military tun, not private land. Now, of course, it's Borderlands

The second is the land of the nobles and ministers of the Southern Dynasty who fled or were destroyed by Li Zicheng. These lands are now ownerless, and they are just right for us. ”

Dolgon nodded, "With these tens of millions of acres, the kings and soldiers from the east will be able to take root."

But the soldiers and men of the kings of the east will fight, and these lands will be cultivated."

"Yes," Fan Wencheng smiled, "You can make the Han people who have no land into slavery"

"Will the Han people be willing to charge?" Dolgon was a little worried.

"If you don't want to be willing, you have to be willing," Fan Wencheng said with a cruel smile, "It is the old way of our Qing Dynasty for the Han people to become slaves, and if they don't surrender, they will be displaced, hungry and cold, and their stomachs will be so hungry that they can't stand it, so they will naturally surrender." If you really can't do it, let the head of the grange force it"

"Will this work?"

"Lord Wang, hasn't we always done this outside the customs?"

"But now it's in the gate," Dorgon hesitated.

Fan Wencheng saw that Dolgon was a little hesitant, so he reminded: "Lord Wang, if you don't do this, you won't be able to take root."

The peasants who rent land are not as good as the banner slaves, and the flag slaves are the slaves who are firmly in the hands of the banners

With this group of minions, I can firmly control the territory of Beizhili. If they are allowed to act as tenants, our Qing Dynasty will be unstable in Beizhili. ”

At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the method of controlling the land population was sharper than that of Prince Zhu, and directly forcing the Han people to become slaves and slaves was much more ferocious than being tenants, and the slaves themselves were a fortune that could be beaten, killed and sold. And with these newly attached serfs, the old coat brought by the gate has been upgraded, even if he does not raise the flag, he is still half a master, and he is naturally concentric with the Qing Dynasty, so the basic plate of the Eight Banners has expanded in disguise.

Dolgon nodded and said, "That's right, but our roots can't just be rooted in the countryside. This Beijing city has to become the foundation of our Qing Dynasty."

Fan Wencheng was stunned, "Lord Wang, Beijing is in our hands."

"Are you there" Dolgon glanced at Fan Wencheng, "There are a lot of Han people in Beijing, and they are extremely unreliable to come and meet them, they still kneel to welcome me when I come to the Qing Dynasty, this kind of person has to be driven out to do anything, so that people can rest assured"

"This" Fan Wencheng thought for a while, "or there will be a house occupation order to occupy all the houses in Beijing and distribute them to the soldiers of the Eight Banners and the clothed minions, and the Han people will not be allowed to live." ”

"Yes, that's it"

What Dolgon is now preparing to implement is the enclosure, confiscation, and occupation of houses, which later history calls the three of the six major maladministrations of the early Qing Dynasty

The so-called "enclosure" and "surrender" are actually the land and peasants around the Beijing Division as rewards and distributed to the Eight Banners warriors.

And through the "enclosure" and "surrender", the land and population that the Eight Banners can control have also greatly increased. Around the Jingshi, even if it is a foundation.

As for "occupying the house", it is to turn the fortress of Beijing into the territory of the Eight Banners and the clothed minions.

Historically, the city of Beijing was a city of bannermen until the end of the Qing Dynasty. Most of the country's flag people and the clothed minions of the three banners live in the city of Beijing

With the three major policies of land enclosure, investment and housing occupation, the Qing Dynasty was able to gain a firm foothold around Beijing.

As for what is the malpractice, it is just the words of Emperor Kangxi after keeping pace with the times.

Of course, for the Han people in Jingshi and Beizhili, an extremely tragic era is beginning

"How about you are still full?"

"Emperor, you're full"

An uncle with a wrinkled face kneeling at the feet of Li Zicheng, the son of Dashun, was already grateful.

Outside this village, near Taiyuan, there were peasants kneeling in their best clothes, all looking at their new master, Li Zicheng, with grateful eyes.

From a certain point of view, among the several forces competing for the world today, Li Zicheng is really good against some poor middle peasants.

Of course, only partially, because the policy of the Great Shun Dynasty was very erratic.

In the late autumn of the first year of Yongchang in Dashun, the poor middle peasants of Taiyuan Mansion must have been bathed in the kindness of Emperor Yongchang.

The Emperor's grace is quite immense

Unlike Zhu Cihong and Dolgon, Li Zicheng is an emperor from the bottom, he sympathizes with the working people, and really wants to bring a little welfare to the working people.

Although his armies are everywhere, they often cause great damage. However, as long as he did not go to war, his "three years of no levy," "free grain for all fields," and "cutting the rich to help the poor" would still bring some benefits to the poor people in the territory.

Don't think that Li Zicheng is playing fake, in fact, his policy can really be partially implemented. For example, it has not been levied for three years, and it is still being implemented. In fact, the free grain for the land has also been implemented, although there is no "fighting the landlords and dividing the land", but in the territory that the Dashun regime can really control, it is difficult for the landlords to receive rent.

If you can't collect the rent, it doesn't mean that you have equalized the land

Anyway, the poor middle peasants around Taiyuan Mansion are still very happy, and all the grain laid down in this autumn harvest is their own

You don't have to pay the emperor's grain, you don't have to pay the gentry's grain, and you can't even pay back the usury.

And the gentry near Taiyuan, because they had taken advantage of Li Zicheng's defeat in Beijing to launch a rebellion before, were not suppressed, but also clamped their tails, and they did not dare to use force if they could not collect rent and interest.

"Emperor, the people's hearts are attached"

"Yes, the people's hearts are available"

Li Zicheng's military advisor Song Xiance and nephew Li Guo followed him to patrol the left side of Taiyuan, and saw many scenes of people's hearts being attached.

Li Zicheng stretched out his big hand, helped the old farmer who was kneeling on the ground up, and said warmly: "Uncle, it's good to be full, just go, take your granary to have a look."

"Obey," the old peasant replied, and walked towards the village with the help of a young man.

Li Zicheng said to Song Xiance and Li Guo at this time: "It seems that the people's hearts are still on the side of Dashun, and those who have won the hearts of the people since ancient times have won the world."

This great Shun Tianzi still doesn't seem to understand that winning people's hearts and winning people's hearts are not the same thing

He has won the hearts of the people in some ways, otherwise he would not have had the devastating victory he had before. But his regime did not control the population and land, so it did not take root.

If it is said that in the territory ruled by Zhu Cihong, there is a temporary balance between the imperial power and the gentry power, and in the territory of the Qing Dynasty, the imperial power overwhelms the gentry power, then on the territory of Li Zicheng, the imperial power and the gentry power disappear at the same time.

The peasants who were grateful to Li Zicheng were not actually under Li Zicheng's rule, but because Li Zicheng was in a "state of anarchy" because of his arrival. Can you not be happy that there is no one to manage, no one to collect taxes and rents, and to be self-sufficient

But the problem is that their power is not in the hands of Li Zicheng, and Li Zicheng has no ability to defend this "anarchy".

Li Guo frowned, and said in a low voice: "Emperor, the old camp brothers below are still a little dissatisfied."

Li Zicheng was just silent and didn't speak.

He also knew that the old camp brothers were a little complaining about the current treatment, but he had already tried his best to reward everyone.

As for the old battalion soldiers who distributed the population and land of Taiyuan Mansion as prizes, Emperor Li always felt that he would lose the hearts of the people if he did so

After being silent for a while, Li Zicheng finally replied to Li Guo in a low voice: "Let's wait until this battle is over." ”
