Of course, Yang Dudu himself definitely didn't know about the irrational actions of his brothers to avenge himself......

He is very noble.

He doesn't care about the traitors.

After all, as a loyal minister, he believed in His Majesty the Emperor's ability to distinguish between loyalty and treachery.

"Why is this happening?"

Yang Dudu took off his sunglasses rather sadly and looked at the busy mine pit in front of him.

This is Ma'anshan Iron Mine.

After the Battle of Nanjing, some of the miners who had been evacuated to Nanjing returned and began to recruit a large number of workers in various places, after all, Yang Dudu's way of dividing the fields would inevitably cause some urban handicraftsmen to lose their jobs. He also discouraged the cultivation of cotton, and in the future, all agricultural taxes were changed to grain collection in the form of land rent, and it was impossible for the peasants to grow cotton again. The final result is that the planting area of cotton and mulberry has shrunk significantly, and the scale of handicraft textiles that lack the source of raw materials will also shrink.

Unemployment among craftsmen is inevitable.

And Yang Xin's solution is to mine and smelt iron to make cans.

Store it when you're done.

It just so happened that this purge of the gentry in Tianfu and the surrounding provinces brought him a large amount of silver, and the total amount of silver transported to the silver treasury of Qianzhuang these days has quickly exceeded 20 million taels.

He had enough silver to splurge.

"Duke Yingguo, the lower official just wants to ask, are you still not a minister of the Ming Dynasty?"

A civil official in front of him said.

This is Zhang Bangzheng, the prefect of Luzhou, and the Nanjing New Army has gone north from Wuhu.

But fortunately, the Yuxi River is temporarily frozen, so it can only march by land, and the Luzhou regiment training in Chaohu does not have to worry about facing the 10,000-pound cannon, but at this time it is almost the first month, and it will have to be completely thawed at most next month, and Chaohu will not be able to hold it at that time. Moreover, the Luzhou regimental training is not only to face the southern line, they also have the Yang family of Fengyang in the north, Lu Zhaoxiong can only do his best to protect Yangzhou, and the purpose of the Huguang army is only to block Yang Xin upstream, as long as they and the reinforced Jiangxi regimental training block Anqing.

In this way, the Luzhou regimental training has become a de facto lonely battle, with less than 20,000 muskets and not many miscellaneous regimental training, in the face of Yang Xin's north and south attacks, there are still poor people inside who are ready to move, which can almost be said to be hopeless.

All that remains is to wait for the imperial army.

But the thaw of the canal will be in March, and the 100,000 troops of the imperial court will not go south if the canal is not thawed.

In fact, they have not yet entered Beijing.

Although the war is over, the withdrawal of 100,000 troops from the distant battlefield outside the Saiwai will also take enough time, at least the gentry of Luzhou will not be able to wait for Wang Shi.

In the end, Governor Zhang resolutely came, and he wanted to stop this rebel minister with awe-inspiring righteousness.

"Bold!"

Li Zicheng rebuked angrily.

As a pro-soldier, he pretended to draw a knife.

The soldiers on both sides were clamoring, and then raised the flintlock pistol with the spear stabbed, even though he was wearing an awe-inspiring and righteous body at the moment, Zhang Zhifu couldn't help but tremble......

"Governor Zhang, do you also want to frame the Duke of Yingguo with those traitorous ministers? Don't think that we will give you face when you just come from Yan'an, and the traitors who dare to frame the Duke of Yingguo will be shot by their brothers first. ”

Li Zicheng shouted.

Governor Zhang is actually the former prefect of Yan'an.

He was only transferred to Luzhou last year, and I have to say that he was also unlucky.

"Don't be rude!"

Yang Xin waved his hand very kindly and said.

Li Zicheng hurriedly pushed the knife back, and then the soldiers put away their guns.

"Governor Zhang, you are from Baoding, right? Baoding is full of cities, Yang is from Renqiu in Hejian, and we are also half of the villagers! If others misunderstand me, do you also misunderstand me? Yang's loyalty to His Majesty can be seen from day to moon, and Yang is indeed decisive, but this rebel party has only been repulsed, and it may make a comeback at any time, and the gentry everywhere have been rebellious before, if they can't clear the hidden dangers by thunderous means, they can regret it when the rebel party comes.

Therefore, for these rebellious gentry, it is better to kill three thousand by mistake than to let one go. ”

Yang Xin said.

"Then why did your army attack Chaohu?"

Zhang Bangzheng said.

"Protect the gentry of Luzhou!

What if the rebel party did not attack Nanjing, but went north along the Qingyi River, crossed Wuhu to attack Chaohu and then attacked Fengyang?

Yang has to think about the safety of Zhongdu! ”

Yang Xin said.

"Aren't you going to fight local tyrants and divide the land?"

Zhang Bangzheng said suspiciously.

"This, the land still has to be divided, but that is not the main purpose, the main purpose is to protect the gentry of Luzhou from being poisoned by the rebel party."

Yang Xin said very frankly.

Zhang Bangzheng almost spat on his face......

"Duke Yingguo, Your Excellency claims to be a loyal minister, is this a loyal minister?"

He said.

"Loyalty?

Of course, this is a loyal servant!

And it is a great loyalty, Yang admitted that this move was to seize the gentry's land, but Yang changed it to the imperial field, and Yang took the gentry's land to His Majesty, isn't this a great loyalty? As for right and wrong, under the whole world, it is not the king's land, since it is all His Majesty's land, what is wrong?

Governor Zhang, I want to ask you, are you still not a minister of His Majesty? ”

Yang Xinyi asked rhetorically.

"Your Majesty has decreed the return of the gentry's land and the cessation of the militia of the imperial land."

Zhang Bangzheng said.

The Apocalypse has indeed decreed.

After Wang Tiqian's return last time, this return was issued except for Zhaoyi City, and the gentry in other places were divided into land and property, and the holy decree of stopping the militia of Huangtian was issued, and it was also issued by edict to officially announce the world.

"That's a traitor who deceived the Holy Hearing!"

Yang Xin said very simply.

At this moment, he and the princes of Gon seemed to have taken the wrong script, and he began to shout that there were traitors in the court who deceived the saints, so he, a loyal minister, did not need to listen to the orders issued by the capital. But the princes of Gon were just like he was messing around under the banner of the Apocalypse, and publicized his rebellion under the banner of the emperor, just like he fabricated charges against the gentry, and planted a hat of rebellion on him.

"Do you know that your Excellency is trying to rebel?"

Zhang Bangzheng couldn't bear to say.

"Governor Zhang, let me just ask a word, is this world not the king's land? If so, then what is wrong with the gentry property confiscated by my Yang Xin to be presented to Your Majesty? If not, then I have nothing to say.

Let's talk about it today.

I don't understand, how can I, a loyal minister who is loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, do something that is beneficial to His Majesty the Emperor, become a traitor, and rebel? Hasn't there ever been such a thing? Back then, Taizu forcibly relocated hundreds of thousands of people from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang families to fill Fengyang, isn't that the case? What's wrong with Yang following the story of Taizu? As a minister of His Majesty the Emperor, Governor Zhang's Mansion not only did not help me, but also came to obstruct and even frame me for rebellion, am I a loyal minister or are you a loyal minister? ”

Yang Xin shouted.

"The world is the ...... of the people of the world"

Zhang Bangzheng blurted out, but then shut up.

At this time, the idea of Datong is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the gentry, after all, this is the theoretical basis for resisting the monarchy, recognizing that the whole world is not the king's land, so what the apocalypse wants to do is right, and the gentry must obey, even if he continues to copy the family and divide the land. But if he takes the world of the people of the world as the theoretical basis, then he has no right to raid the house at will, and whether the gentry support it or not, local autonomy must be taken.

Because this sentence is the basis for ensuring that their land will not be taken away at will.

The same was true of the northern gentry.

Even at this time, even those great Confucians in the north, such as Lu Jiuzheng, including Zhao Nanxing, have begun to openly advocate this sentence, and some imperial histories have also begun to quote it, and Sun Chengzong is adding fuel to the fire, the purpose is to make Tianqi get used to this sentence.

Then the default facts are formed.

They have always dealt with the emperor like this, such as the tax exemption of the gentry, from Zhu Yuanzhang's exemption from forced labor and not exemption from land endowment, to the later exemption of even land endowment, and then to a product of 10,000 mu, it is all a little bit of change, and it is not even clear when it changed. It is impossible for the emperor to sort out how the policy that has lasted for more than two hundred years has evolved, not to mention this, even the evolution of the jade seal has to be specially studied by Zhu Guozhen, and it is only clarified by telling the apocalypse with a twist and turn.

In this way, civil officials could easily pass a long period of time and get the emperor to gradually regard the change that was beneficial to them as if it had always been so, even justified.

Including the current definition of the world.

This sentence is already there, but it is just a reinterpretation and a few words.

Words of the sages!

The era of the sages, the purpose of the sages saying this, the original meaning of the sages saying this, this is not important, just have these words, when the decades have passed and one or two generations of emperors have changed, it will become natural.

There are many such examples.

But......

"Ah, it's true!"

Yang Xin said with a smile.

"Governor Zhang, your fox tail is exposed, and you say that I am rebelling, I think you are the one who rebelled, the world is the world, the world is the world, you dare to say this kind of rebellious words, are you still the minister of His Majesty the Emperor?

Are you worthy of Your Majesty?

This world belongs to His Majesty, it was left to His Majesty by Taizu, and the temple was passed on to His Majesty by the first emperor.

In addition, in view of the collusion of Zhang Bangzheng, the prefect of Luzhou, the situation in Luzhou Mansion is critical, and all armies are ordered to go to Hefei immediately, and those who obstruct will be punished as anti-party! ”

Yang Xin shouted.

Zhang Bangzheng was stupid and looked at him completely blankly, and at this time, Li Zicheng, who had already been a little uncontrollable, immediately stepped forward and kicked the former Yan'an prefect down with one kick, and then the soldiers next to him rushed forward, tied up Zhang Zhifu in a few moments, dragged him to the side in his struggle, and fell directly on the riverbank.

Immediately afterwards, Li Zicheng pulled out a short gun, opened the faucet of this flintlock pistol, and put the muzzle of the gun on the back of Governor Zhang's head.

"Oh God......"

Governor Zhang's mournful cry sounded.

"Bang!"

Immediately after that, gunshots rang out.

A bullet instantly entered his head from the back of the head, but because it was not powerful enough, it was left inside

"I know that shouting to the sky, there is nothing new at all!"

Li Zicheng put away the short gun and said disdainfully with the muzzle of the gun.
