At the end of 1666 AD, with the Ming Emperor Zhu Cihong stationed in Wuhan and the Dashun Emperor Li Laiheng announced the imperial conquest, the originally peaceful land of China was suddenly shrouded in the clouds of war.

The two Chinese regimes, which have been facing each other for more than 20 years, seem to have reached the point where they must decide the winner.

After all, the rules of the game in China since ancient times have been that they must be combined for a long time...... If you count from the uprising of Wang Er in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the struggle between Dashun, the "peasant uprising regime", and the Ming Dynasty has lasted for almost 40 years!

The peasant heroes who rose up in the past have now grown into extra-large feudal bureaucratic landlords - the land owned by the eight kings of Yizheng can collect 80,000 stone rents a year, almost 120,000 mu, which is more than ten or twenty times more than the princes of the Ming Dynasty have more than ten or twenty times the amount of land owned by the princes of the Ming Dynasty!

I wonder if they will be praised as the leaders of the peasant uprising in the history books of later generations?

However, at the end of 1666, the leaders of the Dashun court in Kunming did not realize that they had become the most hated by themselves...... also shamelessly sent out a lot of fine works, with a new version of the "Yingchuang King" poster distributed everywhere.

Li Laiheng, the emperor, also declared on the poster: "Welcome the king, all the land, peace and wealth, and happiness together!" ”

After a small number of posters of "Yingchuang Wang" appeared on the streets of Jingzhou Mansion, Xiangyang Mansion and Wuhan Mansion, it immediately caused a shock. These three prefectures, except for the Wuchang area of Wuhan Prefecture, were briefly notified by the Dashun Dynasty, and the two prefectures of Jingzhou and Xiangyang also experienced different versions of Juntian.

Li Zicheng's land in Jingzhou Prefecture was to give all the land to the peasants, while in Xiangyang Prefecture it was the complete opposite, he gave all the land to the old battalion soldiers of Dashun.

Therefore, the people of the two places showed diametrically opposite attitudes towards the Dashun Dynasty's transmission and fine work, and in the territory of Xiangyang Mansion, Dashun's fine work became a street rat, and in a short period of time, a large number of people were arrested, and they were sent to Wuhan Mansion to wait for their heads!

In the territory of Jingzhou Mansion, Dashun's fine work is much luckier, and the people still remember Li Zicheng's benevolence and righteousness...... Moreover, after the departure of the Dashun army, there were many poor peasants who did not keep their land for various reasons and were nostalgic for King Chuang, so the situation was a little turbulent!

However, there is only some turmoil on the Jingzhou Mansion's side, and chaos is impossible!

Because Hubei's industry and commerce have developed rapidly in the past 20 years, it has absorbed a large number of bankrupt peasants, and the development of the New World and the Nanyang region has also provided a stage for the most willing of the bankrupt peasants to get ahead.

In addition, due to the increase in agricultural productivity and the inflow of agricultural products from the Central Plains, Liaoyang, Huaihe River Valley, Jinou, Siam, and other places, the eight densely populated provinces of the four rivers, two lakes, Fujian and Guangdong, which are developed in industry and commerce, have sufficient food supplies, and the local governments have a certain relief capacity...... The peasants will not rebel because they are bankrupt, they will only rebel because they have nothing to eat!

If bankruptcy is the reason for rebellion, then capitalist society cannot exist at all - there is a process of survival of the fittest in any transaction, and the majority who are eliminated will be eliminated after all, and if they all go against it, the world will be in chaos long ago.

Of course, another important reason why Jingzhou Mansion did not make trouble is that the current Ming army has a very strong suppression ability.

With a click, Zhu Cihong, the son of the Great Tomorrow, had already thrown a stack of "Yingchuang Wang" posters collected by Jinyiwei and Dongchang on the table. Now the secret service of the Ming Dynasty has resumed the situation of Jinyiwei and Dongchang containing each other, of which Jinyiwei is outside the main and Dongchang is inside. However, after all, the East Factory is a newly opened yamen, and it cannot be compared with the already huge and somewhat excessive Jinyi Wei, and the "inside" of the owner of the East Factory is currently only focusing on Ying Tianfu and Wuhan Mansion, and at most there is a little power around the two capitals of Daming.

Jingzhou and Xiangyang belong to the surrounding areas of Wuhan, so there are both the power of Jinyiwei (main) and the power of Dongchang (auxiliary).

Thanks to the efforts of these two secret services, hundreds of Dashun spies have been arrested these days, and thousands of posters have been seized...... I have to say that under the leadership of Liu Wenxiu and Song Xiance, Dashun's spy agencies are still relatively powerful.

However, Zhu Cihong's response to this poster was a sneer.

"This group of rogues has changed into a coward, and they have already eaten all the land in Sichuan and Yunnan, and now they still want to use Juntian to make a fuss and incite the people of the Ming Dynasty to make trouble...... Do you really think everyone else is stupid? ”

Wu Meicun, a bachelor of Hanlin and a scholar of national history, also held a poster, turned it upside down and seemed to look at it, and after a while, he laughed sneeringly: "If someone really believes it, it can be captured and sent to the northwest to fill the army...... His Royal Highness the Acting King is an important person every once in a while, and there is no one in the prison of the Criminal Department. ”

Now the bad guy of Daming...... If you are caught, as long as you can't reach the heinous ones, you are basically in demand! The twelve principalities of the South Seas, the Luzon Kingdom, and the Dai Kingdom of the Northwest are all rushing to ask for it!

Therefore, the prison of the penal department is always empty, and there are many more jailers than prisoners.

Zhu Cihong snorted: "That can't make Li Laiheng too proud...... We're going to have to make some peace with him, too! ”

"The minister has already written a ballad of "Welcoming Daming"."

"Really?" Zhu Cihong asked, "How do you sing it?" ”

"That's how it is sung," Wu Meicun really sang, "eat his mother, wear his mother, open the door to welcome the king of Ming, the king of Ming does not accept grain when he comes, the king of Ming does not serve when he comes, the king of Ming does not pay tribute when he comes, the king of Ming opens the imperial examination when he comes, and the king of Ming divides the fields when he comes...... Seeking to rise, seeking harmony at dusk, it is difficult for Sichuan people to survive recently, open the door early to worship King Ming, and discipline everyone is happy! ”

"How can there be a division of land?" Zhu Cihong frowned, "Mr. Wu (Wu Meicun was Zhu Cihong's lecturer in his early years), you can't make it up!" And...... Why is your "Yingming King" a bit like "Yingchuang King"? ”

Wu Meicun said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the minister is changed according to "Yingchuang King", of course it is like it." ”

Zhu Cihong was a little speechless, you are still Jiangzuo's third family, such a big talent, you copied Li Zicheng's?

"As for dividing ......the land," Wu Meicun said with a smile, "it doesn't have much to do with Your Majesty." ”

"Why doesn't it matter?" Zhu Cihong asked, "Isn't King Ming just me?" ”

"Your Majesty, this Ming King may also be the Ming King of Manichaeism...... Wu Meicun said with a smile, "This "Ying Ming King" is not necessarily "Ying Da Ming"!" ”

"I see...... Zhu Cihong always felt a little inappropriate, and glanced at Zhu Chunjie again.

Zhu Chunjie said: "Your Majesty, this Ming King can be Your Majesty or the Ming King of Manichaeism...... The reason why this name is used is also to facilitate the spread of the White Lotus cultists in Sichuan. Liukou is very strict in China, and even Jinyiwei can't pass on "King Yingming", so he can only rely on this group of demons. ”

"Can those demons really make trouble?" Zhu Cihong asked again.

Zhu Chunjie shook his head and said, "I don't know...... This kind of thing is a civil uprising, sometimes it is also a matter of watching the sky to eat, if there is a disaster in Sichuan, maybe chaos will arise. If the weather has been smooth, then the rogue is lucky. ”

Zhu Cihong snorted: "I don't believe that these people can always be lucky!" ”

Of course, it is impossible to be lucky all the time, because the disaster in Sichuan has been brewing for a long time.

This disaster is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster! And it's not just one disaster, but several man-made disasters added together.

One of the biggest man-made disasters is the large number of people! Although the Dashun Dynasty has gradually become the most hated appearance of Li Zicheng, Li Guo and others, compared with the Ming Dynasty during the Apocalypse and Chongzhen periods, the Dashun Dynasty is still a lot stronger. Dashun can maintain stability within the territory and limit the exploitation of the peasants by the military households...... At least during the reign of Li Guo, restrictions existed.

In addition, Li Guo also strictly suppressed commerce, so that the peasants and government soldiers could maintain a low level of "satisfaction", so that most people could live in poverty. Although they are very poor financially, they are still relatively happy spiritually, and their lack is not to the point where they can suppress population growth.

So in the past 20 years, Sichuan's population has been growing at a relatively high rate......
