Huang Daozhou was anxious and said: "I also know about the affairs of the magistrates in Jiangnan, isn't that to prevent the thieves from going south, Jiangnan has not been in battle for a long time, and the army is in ruins, if there is no strong army, how can you resist the barbarians." ”

Zhu Cihong paused and said: "These days, I began to read some, those books that the elders read to me, the two are compared, and I have a lot of experience, speaking of this, does Mr. know Hou Jing." ”

Although Huang Daozhou did not eat the ancients, in the Ming Dynasty, it was clear that he needed to make peace with the Jurchens temporarily, pretending to negotiate peace, and after negotiating peace, he first destroyed the internal rebel army, and then ate away at the Jurchen people little by little.

Treating the Jurchens, a military plundering gang that has just risen and has not much corruption, blindly doing it brutally, hoping to get it done at one time, it will be too difficult to pay, in fact, this military plundering gang, before entering the customs, is already a bunch of problems, internal contradictions have intensified, and they are obsessed with tobacco and such things.

That is to say, originally there was nothing, you can play hard, if in the later stage, treat the Jurchens, don't be so eager for quick success, the various imperial historians in the rear are just like the big V of later generations, anyway, they don't have to be responsible, they start to spray water indiscriminately, and finally spray the Ming Dynasty alive.

The weak fight with the strong, the weak are conducive to taking advantage of the victory, and the strong are conducive to wrestling, the rich and the poor are willing to sue for the poor, the poor are happy to settle quickly, and the rich are happy to last, although the Ming Dynasty is internally corrupt, the army is many and the fighting spirit is insufficient, but with the huge national strength, as long as you are willing to be shameless, you can consume the Jurchens alive.

Huang Daozhou has no problems in the big festival, the only problem is that the skill points are all pointed at biting the text and chewing the words, and the later Jurchens went south, he had no military strategic ability, returned to his hometown, found fellow villagers, classmates, and students, and recruited more than 1,000 people, most of whom were ordinary people.

His army was inexperienced, had never been on the battlefield, and did not even have weapons, and the most lethal weapons they had were called hoes and poles. Therefore, the name of this army in history is called "Biantan Army".

Huang Daozhou's wife accompanied the expedition, she gathered many women, and went to fight together, this army did not even have a flat shoulder, and was known as the "Lady Army" in history.

It only takes a few books to know that such an army cannot have any chance of victory.

In fact, the time of the battle was short.

Huang Daozhou refused to surrender afterwards, and was finally killed, leaving a blood book in his clothes after his death.

This is a good guy, this is a stupid person.

Of course, because the elders thought that the cost-effectiveness ratio of unifying China by force was too stupid after calculating for a long time, the direct troops of the elders did not even bother to cross the Yellow River, and they were only in slow contact.

Therefore, Huang Daozhou gradually discovered that he didn't need to gather any more flat army, and his fate naturally went in another direction.

Huang Daozhou naturally knew a lot about people like Hou Jing, and shouted: "Peerless traitor, who doesn't know." ”

Zhu Cihong smiled bitterly and said, "Originally, I only knew about his rebellion and death, but when I chatted with an elder occasionally, he compared this person to a figure like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, and said that this is a people's war. ”

Huang Daozhou said contemptuously: "It's not a chaotic, rude system of burning, killing and looting. ”

Zhu Cihong said: "Hou Jing is a northerner, he has no roots in the south of the Yangtze River, it can be said that he has no roots and no ping, when he can cross the river, he counts 800 people, and when it comes to the destruction of the Great Liang, there are 100,000 people, and later, it is even more crowded, and no one does not surrender, this is the will of the people." ”

Huang Daozhou said: "It's just a fan of the mob to disrupt the world." ”

The history of the two is very famous at this time, Hou Jing was originally a general of the Northern Dynasty, failed in the internal fighting, and defected to the Southern Liang, if you give some supplies, with kindness, it is not difficult to use people, but the Southern Liang is worthy of the four hundred and eighty temples, the era in the smoke and rain of the tower, which can be called the era of the worst dynasty in history, and actually planned to arrest people and send them back to the Northern Dynasty, as a vote for friendship with the north.

It's not that it's stupid, it's just stupid! Send people back, and who will secretly take refuge in you in the future?

Hou Jing is not an ordinary person, he is definitely one of the most talented people in Chinese history, he soon discovered that Nanliang is actually a paper tiger, the rich Tian Lianqian Mo, the poor have no place to stand, the anti-flag is displayed, and the 100,000 army is wiped out in one day, which can almost be said to be the greatest military miracle in Chinese history.

Hou Jing also had such a conversation with Xiao Yan,

Shang asked again: "How many people are there in the first crossing of the river?" Jing said: "Thousands of people." ”

"How many people are there in the Siege City?" He said, "One hundred thousand." ”

"How many are there today?" He said: "Within the land, you have nothing to do." ”

Bow your head and say nothing.

Righteousness is like this: the emperor asked, how many younger brothers did you have when you crossed the Yangtze River, Hou Jing said, there were less than 1,000 younger brothers,

The emperor asked again: When you surrounded Taicheng, Hou Jing said, the younger brother is 100,000.

How many people are there now, Hou Jing replied: It's all on the territory.

As for the reasons for how to succeed, Hou Jing sees it very clearly: today's national pond garden, the prince's first residence, the monk and nun temple tower, and the reigning officials, Ji Jiang Baifang, thousands of servants, no ploughing or weaving, brocade clothes and jade food, no robbing the people, where to get it!

Of course, the reason why the young people of later generations are quite familiar with Hou Jing is obviously that his self-styled general name is too powerful: the Great General of the Universe. (Historical facts)

In ancient times, the concept of the universe already existed, but the title of the general of the universe was a bit dazzling, which is also an example of the people of later generations who regarded it as a traversal.

If you're not a traverser, who can give yourself such a name for middle two.

Of course, in the eyes of Confucianism in later generations, Hou Jing is naturally not a good person, but with the rebellion accepted by the elders is justified, and under the education of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, Hou Jing is definitely a heroic figure.

Zhu Cihong said: "It was the emperor of the Southern Liang Kingdom who had no way and the people were not able to make a living, so that there was only Hou Jing with only 800 people who could destroy the Great Liang, which was originally a sequence. ”

"It's ridiculous, what kind of book is the prince reading, how can he think so."

Zhu Cihong said: "There are not too many books, but I can go out and walk around and read too much." ”

Huang Daozhou said: "I heard that in this imperial capital, although the music is a singer, you can also walk outside, and even the traffic magnates, is the prince confused by them." ”

Zhu Cihong thought for a while and said: "Before me, I heard an elder tell the story of their hometown, about a judge who interrogated an old man who stole bread, and the old man said that he had no source of income in his family, and only by stealing bread could he support his grandchildren who had lost their parents, but the judge sentenced the people who were watching on the spot, and each of them was fined 50 yuan to punish them for living in a city where the old grandmother was going to steal bread to feed her grandson. ”

Huang Daozhou also listened to his relatives, he came from the south, especially the land of Nanjing, since the chaos in the world, there are actually more and more displaced people everywhere, and it is impossible for rich families everywhere to expect them to do good deeds, it is impossible in this life, but to take the opportunity to buy little girls, buy slaves, is the right way.

Zhu Cihong said: "I have been studying since I was a child, and there are always people who say that they want to be benevolent and righteous, but what is benevolence and righteousness, but no one can say clearly, whether it is benevolent or not, it can't be all the courtiers, but if someone in the city where he is located has to steal things to feed his children, then the ruler is indeed ashamed." ”

Huang Daozhou hurriedly said: "Those are all natural disasters in previous years...... After he finished saying the word natural disasters, he immediately stopped his words.

Zhu Cihong said with a smile: "If you are hungry and don't know what to do, if you die, you say: 'It's not me, it's not me.' "How is it different from stabbing someone and killing him, saying, 'It's not me, it's also a soldier'?"

When Huang Daozhou spoke, he already knew that it was wrong, the previous paragraph is a Confucian classic, Mencius said, there are people who starve to death, and the government refuses to give relief, people die, saying that it is not me who kills, it is natural disasters that kill, this is the same as killing people with a knife, saying that it is not me who kills, but a knife who kills.

Huang Daozhou said: "It was all the time of the first emperor, the traitor was full of people, and the saint was blinded. ”

Zhu Cihong said: "My father is by no means blinded, but he knows a lot about things outside, but he can't do anything about many things, and this is the problem." ”

Huang Daozhou seemed a little incredulous, and said, "It seems that the crown prince will not go south." ”

Zhu Cihong thought for a while and said: "Before, there were many elders who taught me to read, and also learned a kind of knowledge called temple arithmetic, deduction strategies, they once asked me to calculate by myself, if I went south to Nanjing, how to act, in the end, the answer I came to is that I probably won't live for half a year." ”

Huang Daozhou hurriedly said: "Who dares to hurt the prince!" ”

Zhu Cihong said: "There is a very strange thing, the ministers keep saying that they govern the country with virtue, and they talk about all kinds of high-mindedness, but in the face of the situation of domestic and foreign difficulties for more than ten years, they have always been helpless, and all the heavy taxes have been received by the peasants. ”

Huang Daozhou said: "So it is necessary to refresh the rule of officials, talent." ”

Zhu Cihong said: "Since last year, Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, the trading of Yangzhou thin horses, there are actually 2,000 people, many of them are more than 1,000 taels of silver, and these salt merchants, the arrears of the imperial court taxes, more than a million, but they have never been able to collect, because a harvest, is to compete with the people, so, this is the interesting place, I am rich all over the world, can produce countless grains every year, but it is impossible to do, so that people who have suffered natural disasters can get relief, how is this good? ”

Huang Daozhou sighed and said, "The prince is really bewitched. ”

Zhu Cihong said: "It's just because, even if I go south, I will find that there are people asking for money everywhere, but if you want to collect taxes, you can only collect taxes from farmers who have no opportunity to contribute. ”

Huang Daozhou seemed to be a little anxious, and said: "It's all treacherous, as long as the prince goes to Nanjing......"

Zhu Cihong said: "There is no money, with just one identity, who is in the hands of the real power in Jiangnan?" In the end, it just became a papier-mâché disguise to deceive the people. ”

Zodiac Zhou Zhengse said: "Those who are kings should rule the country with virtue, how can they use these copper odors as the top?" ”

"The emperor is not a hungry soldier, not to mention that I am not the emperor anymore, the people take food as the sky, and I want people to fight with their lives to protect my country, but I don't even give the money for the pension, it would be too ......"

Huang Daozhou said: "The money and grain in Jiangnan are enough to ......"

"It's enough to sustain half of the country, of course I know, but Kyushu is torn, and there are countless casualties in the confrontation, so there will be no redemption, if so, I'd rather not have any country."

Huang Dao's face turned red on Monday, his hands trembled, and he seemed to be in a hurry: "You ......"

Zhu Cihong said: "There is one thing, don't you know, here in the imperial capital, agricultural taxes have been permanently exempted, not to mention anything else, the heavy taxes of the dynasty in Suzhou, but everyone knows that many of them are preaching, when the time comes, how can people's hearts be stable." ”

"Isn't this all the words of the villain's demagoguery, there is no tax, what can you do to raise the army?"

"This is the problem, after my father ascended the throne, all the internal and external powers at that time were entrusted to the hands of the so-called righteous people, but what about the salt tax, the tea tax, the agricultural tax, how much good land was pinned on the gentry? In the end, all the salaries and salaries were pressed on the poorest peasants, and naturally the world was reversed. ”

Huang Daozhou said: "This is all an evil way, my Celestial Empire has been a heavy agricultural ...... since ancient times."

"This is really interesting, my lord, I also read a lot of books, only to remember the joint, we are heavy farmers, the result of the farmers is the highest tax, and even the grandfather specially ordered that the servants are not allowed to go to the countryside to collect taxes, because that kind of tax collection is to disturb the people, and our Ming Dynasty is known as the so-called Shinong industry and commerce, despising merchants, but the business tax can hardly be collected, but at this time, those rich merchants who evade the tea tax and salt tax are better than the emperor, you have been in the palace, you should know that the father eats on weekdays, Don't dare to eat too rare things, for fear of disturbing the people, and the food on weekdays is also warm in a warm cup, just eat a good meal, you have seen your father, touch your conscience and say, his days, is it comparable to those salt merchants? ”

Huang Daozhou said: "Those profiteers will naturally be punished!" ”

"This is the problem, the Celestial Empire doesn't need any benevolence and righteousness now, what it needs is the thunder means, or rather, the thunder means, the bodhisattva's heart, but do you think, can I do it, if I can't do it, I won't do it."

Zodiac Zhou is really powerless.

What he saw, Zhu Cihong's entry and exit were not restricted, not to mention free, but also very moisturized, in fact, the elders were even more afraid that Zhu Cihong would be assassinated by careerists, and the elders would not be able to wash it clean even with the water of the Pacific Ocean.

Fortunately, the place where Zhu Cihong lives is quite safe, the nearby residents are either rich or wealthy gentry, and he has a fixed daily schedule and travels between the palace and his home, so there is really no big problem.

Unlike what we imagined, the palace was actually open to outsiders.
