Blood collapsed, and every snowflake was guilty.

Daming is cool, and every courtier is not innocent.

These dogs who don't know whether they are alive or dead, they are still fighting endlessly when they die!

In the end, it was cheaper to build a slave and ruined the world of the Han family!

It's a futile sigh!

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am rampant because of the East and thieves, and I have harmed the Ming Dynasty. The court was short of soldiers, food, and salaries, so he had to use the advice of Yang Sichang, an auxiliary minister, to increase his training.

Why don't I love the people like a son? Why don't you know the suffering of the people?

However, if you don't levy salaries, you can't train new soldiers, and if you don't train new soldiers, you can't suppress the rogues internally, and you can't control the eastern captives outside.

All of you should be well aware of all these circumstances. Therefore, in desperation, I can only temporarily suffer our people for a year. ”

In the Jinluan Palace, Emperor Chongzhen spoke in a low tone, telling his "minister of the humerus" about his helpless behavior of the old man to levy training salaries.

"But Aiqing also wants to see that since the levy of the salary, the imperial court has made remarkable achievements in the suppression of bandits, which is gratifying!

It turned out that several bandits in Henan and Hebei had already surrendered. The giant bandits Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai have also become swimming fish at the bottom of the kettle, please descend to Gucheng and cannot escape.

Li Wei is now besieged in Shangluo Mountain, panicked, no longer arrogant and arrogant, and can be annihilated when he sees it. ”

To tell the truth, the collection of salaries, with Yang Sichang's "four positives", "six corners", and "ten-sided net" strategy of encirclement and suppression, the Ming court has achieved remarkable results in suppressing bandits.

At this time, if they can make peace with the Tatars, postpone their time to enter the Ming Dynasty, obtain a good strategic space, and don't suffer from the enemy's achievements, the Ming Dynasty may be able to survive for a few more years, and even open a new chapter in history.

If this happens, the Ming Dynasty can continue again, and Yang Sichang can also leave a name in history.

At least, Yang Sichang's strategy is correct and a pragmatic move that is in line with the current reality.

It's a pity that the pig teammates don't allow it.

The Donglin Party led by Huang Daozhou, regardless of the actual situation of the Ming Dynasty, manipulated public opinion, blocked the road to peace and the Ming Dynasty, and lost the strategic space of the Ming Dynasty.

In the end, Da Ming cooled down.

Of course, they didn't get any benefit.

At the time of the change of dynasty, under the butcher's knife of Jiannu, they must also make life-and-death choices about their fate.

Some people sacrifice their lives to take righteousness, repay the country with their deaths, and leave their names in history! Some people sell themselves to take refuge, betray their Lord, and leave a stench for thousands of years!

But in any case, it is not advisable to not do personnel during life and become famous after death.

Usually talk about your heart and mind, and report to the king when you die!

This is the corrupt Confucians who believed in Zhu Xi after the Southern Song Dynasty, who usually did not do practical things, and could only be relieved by serving the country by dying when the catastrophe came.

And there is no doubt that Zodiac Zhou is a representative of such people.

This character who is the same as Shi Kefa, what can he do, he won the first place with his mouth cannon, and finally became famous with his death and was named a "national hero".

Above the Danqi, Emperor Chongzhen took a deep look at the "national hero" and continued, "However, at this time, because the peace agreement could not be reached, the Dongyu invaded the Ming Dynasty and killed my people.

I had no choice but to interrupt the process of suppressing bandits, and called on the army of the king of the world to resist foreign enemies. At this time when the country is in crisis, I hope that the ministers will put the country first and think about the country.

Therefore, I earnestly hope that the civil and military ministers, whether in the court or abroad, can work together to discuss state affairs and work together. Do not set up a door and attack in vain. ”

These words, Emperor Chongzhen, can be described as bitter, far-reaching, and it is also his old man's heart.

The royal driver's personal expedition is imminent, and he strives for the stability of the court, and everything will be said when he comes back.

Of course, if someone can hear it and put the country first, it will be a gratifying thing.

It's just that......

The wish is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

In the Jinluan Palace, Huang Daozhou listened to Emperor Chongzhen's words in favor of Yang Sichang, and the meaning was obviously that he ignored the overall situation, attacked his colleagues, and acted as a villain in vain!

It's worth it!

Spread it out, how will it mix in the court in the future?

He has become famous by contradicting the emperor all his life, how can he tolerate His Majesty's accusations?

He raised his head, his eyes were firm, his expression was sad, and he said angrily: "Your Majesty, your ...... Minister...... He has been studying for decades, but he is loyal to the king and loves the people, and he does not take fame and fame as his heart.

The ministers have been ploughing the fields for many years, calloused hands and feet, wearing cloth clothes, eating coarse food, being poor and self-controlled, not admiring glory and profit, and being heard by everyone in the world.

What the minister said today is precisely from a loyal and patriotic heart.

The thief is in trouble, why don't the ministers want to eat their flesh and sleep on their skin. The eastern captives are in calamity to the country, and the ministers are not heartbroken and want to drive out the Tatars, both worried and angry.

Today, in the hearts of the ministers, they only hate Yang Sichang and only know how to negotiate with Donglu secretly, and they all forget the teaching of "Ram" and "respecting the king".

So that today's people's hearts are broken, how can they attack Yang Sichang because they want to set up their own doors!

Moreover, during the Wanli period, due to the military urgency of Liaodong, in addition to the Zhengfu, an additional 5.2 million taels were drawn every year, which was called Liao, and the people were already unbearable.

At the beginning of His Majesty's reign, the salary was increased by 1.4 million taels.

In the tenth year of Chongzhen, Yang Sichang set a three-month deadline for exterminating thieves, and increased the salary by 2.8 million taels, which was outside the regular endowment.

Please Your Majesty stop fishing, kill chickens and eggs, and leave a glimmer of life for the small people! Today, the minister does not avoid the punishment of the axe, and he risks death to speak out, and implores His Majesty to think twice! ”

It's better to say than to sing!

Zodiac Zhou is worthy of being known as the famous Confucian of the Ming Dynasty, and his eloquence is unparalleled.

This method of reversing black and white to confuse the public made Emperor Chongzhen above Danqi can't help but be happy.

To be honest, Huang Daozhou said that the practice of salary is a scourge for the people of the Ming Dynasty, which is not wrong.

However, he should not use this as a tool to attack Yang Sichang.

Because, when Yang Sichang proposed to levy the training salary, in addition to being a helpless move, it was actually out of kindness.

Don't look at the increase in the salary of 7.3 million taels, which is a large amount, but it is given to the land, and the land is owned by the rich and powerful.

Only three or four coins of silver will be added to 100 acres of land, which is not only harmless to the small people, but can also slightly restrain the annexation of the rich.

It's just that the center's strategy is good, and the starting point is also good, but when it comes to the place, it becomes crooked.

After more than 200 years of the Ming Dynasty, land annexation has become a trend.

The rich have no land, and the poor have no place to stand.

In the past dynasties, the accumulation of land endowments was very profound, and the wealthy and powerful people went up and down their hands, deceived and hid in many ways, evaded levies, and paid more land and less grain.

Poor and small households do not dare to deceive and have no power to escape, so they can only pay according to the truth. And suffering from the transfer of large households, they often have less land and more grain.

This is the reason why the people are being punished.

As an official of the imperial court, Huang Daozhou also knew this.

But now he is pretending to be stupid, and using this as a tool to attack Yang Sichang, it must be said that his heart can be punished!
