Chapter 487: The Gentry Have a Revolution
The only problem, of course, is Yang Xin.
But you can't be afraid of this kind of thing, right?
In that case, everyone is still making a fuss, wouldn't it be better to just hug his thighs? Since we have chosen the cause of justice and have chosen to stand against the traitorous ministers, we must show courage and not succumb to the obscenity of the evil forces because of fear......
Of course, the main thing is that everyone is embarrassed to say it clearly.
It would be too embarrassing to say that a bunch of loyal ministers and righteous people were frightened by Yang Xin alone.
In short, the plan was quickly determined, Xu Du and Zhang Mingzhen immediately went to various places with the help of the Qian family to gather their righteous soldiers, or it can also be said that they are heroes of the green forest, heroes of the rivers and lakes, this should not be a big problem, but it is also the original history of shouting tens of thousands of people to rebel, this appeal is not difficult to pull up a team of thousands of people.
Dongyang, the obligation area is originally simple and simple
The same goes for Zhang Mingzhen.
As a Jiangning hero, he also has good friends, in fact, tens of thousands of perennial military households in Nanjing wandered there, before an official deliberately went to the imperial court, asking for the rectification of this, there will always be some loyal people here.
And Qian Qianyi is responsible for building momentum for them.
Whitewashing their identities, what kind of murder of kings and rebellion, all traitors are framed by traitors, and people are loyal ministers and righteous people who have failed to commit rape for the country.
The authentics of the capital?
Yang Xin did the ghost, he dug up the one who framed Zhongliang.
Anyway, more than 2,000 miles apart, in this kind of place, the gentry say whatever they say, and the gentry definitely don't want any of them to kill the king and rebel, no matter what these people have done, they must be whitewashed into loyal ministers and righteous men who have failed to hoe and rape. This is very easy to operate, Qian Qianyi notified his friends all over Jiangsu and Zhejiang by private message, saying that he got the inside information from the capital, Wen Zhenmeng and others were tortured into tricks, so that his friends could touch their conscience and suddenly come to their senses.
And then they continue to spread.
In various academies, it spreads in an instant through those students.
Even let their house slaves spread among the people, it is best to make up stories that add oil and vinegar, add some fantasy colors that they like to see, and make the image of these people more loyal and unyielding.
Local tabloids were printed and distributed among the people, and posters were posted directly on the city walls.
They've been familiar with this for a long time.
The gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang have a routine to play this, and it is very common to write operas and performances, don't underestimate the ability of the gentry to engage in public opinion warfare at this time, they are not before they were educated by foreigners in the late Qing Dynasty, those who have degraded to the point that they don't know anything except the oppression of tenants and Baguwen, the gentry of this era are extremely flexible, if they really want to wash black into white, then they can really wash black into white.
And Lu Gong went to contact the Restoration Society.
At this time, the Fusha was not without military strength, whether it was the Chang Shengjun or the Chang Jie Army, there were members of the Fusheng Society who really held military power, and He Gang was still the deputy commander of the Chang Shengjun.
In order to distinguish themselves from the official army and show the nature of their civilian rebel army, the four major regiments are currently trained under their respective military numbers, and the first two correspond to the brigade battalions of the new army of the official army, and the commander of the army is the commander and deputy commander, the regimental commander, not the commander, is the head of the capital, and the sentry is the same, the captain of the sentry is the captain, and the commander and the commander are all meritorious names, and the military generals are hired from the head down.
In fact, it is those big families who have no hope of the imperial examination, and they have begun to work the martial arts, but they have not yet been admitted to the martial arts.
These big families are not stupid.
It is also not possible to have only civilian officials without military attachés.
These people have become middle-level officers in the regimental training, from the head of the capital to the sentry commander, and the captain and the captain are the cronies of the clan.
The system is similar to that of the Hunan army.
It is sustained by the clan.
He Gang is the deputy commander of the Changsheng Army, and the commander is still Shen Tingyang.
Similarly, He Gang is also the core of the Fushe in Songjiang, originally he was Shi Kefa's confidant in history, and it can be said that he was at the level of his right-hand man, and he died in Yangzhou together.
He will solve all that is needed.
Arms, armor, the backbone who understands the current regimental training tactics, and even if needed, he can hire Dutch instructors for Xu Du and these people, in fact, until now, there are more than 60 Dutch instructors in the Changsheng Army, and even Shen Tingyang's number one staff or chief of staff is a Dutchman. The Dutch East India Company can be said to be fully supportive of the Chang Shengjun, and in Guangzhou they were never able to open up the situation against the Portuguese, but in Songjiang they opened up a new world.
There was everything they could want.
The port of Shanghai, which is backed by the Yangtze River and the canal, has even more goods for them to choose from than Guangzhou.
The Dutch East India Company saw it as their future.
In the same way, they could say that they had fulfilled all the requirements of the gentry here, and it was said that they were already looking for officers from home who had really experienced large-scale battles, and those who knew real Dutch bastions, and as for the busts and cuirass, which were almost universal in the Victorious Army, they were also the work of these Dutchmen. Because of this cooperation, local officials in Shanghai even acquiesced to the fact that they had to pay gifts and bribes to live in Pudong, and they had to give them every year.
And in this case, if a few Dutch mercenaries are recruited under the banner of rebellion against tyranny, just as they rebelled against the rule of the Spanish king in Europe, they supported Xu Du and these people against the Ming Emperor......
It shouldn't be impossible.
Of course, Yang Dudu would not know this, but he was also in trouble in the capital.
Academy.
"Why do you have to turn it into a militia zone? If you want to say that we already have Zhaoyi, as long as we maintain this place, it is enough, they are about to endure it, don't you want to fight them again? ”
Nine thousand years old said.
Yang Huan had already quickly reported what happened to Li Yingsheng's house.
Obviously, the nine thousand years old is also a little unbearable, he also sees the danger, and for him, he is almost satisfied, Daming's income is growing steadily, and after the three major halls are completed, there is no place to spend money, and even has begun to have a slight surplus. This is only the part of the annual income, and does not include the silver made by the two groups of him and Yang Xin, and this part is the main body of the money deposited in the bank, even if the income of the imperial court is not enough, it can be replenished from the money bank when it needs to be spent.
In general, he didn't have to worry about running out of money.
Then it's good to have a good day like this, and you can go on like this.
Since this is the case, there is no need to provoke those gentry, who are no longer at the mercy of others, at least for the time being, they are the strongest military in Jiangnan.
"Uncle, don't you think that the more this is the case, the more you must deal with them quickly?"
Yang Xin said.
"They are forced by the Red Turban Army, the four regiments practice more than two million taels a year, they can't really maintain it for a long time, as long as the current situation is maintained, we promise them that they will not expand outward, then they won't be able to hold it themselves in a few years, we don't need to solve them, these people spend money and it hurts."
Nine thousand years old said.
He is still very sober and knows the root cause of the problem.
"But what about the Fushe and Datongguo?"
Yang Xin said.
"You mean they use these group exercises? You look too highly at those gentry, how can they have the courage, they are all used to living a good life, as long as we don't move their good days, the restoration of the society or the Datong country, at most it is just lip service, if it is not forced to be urgent, who of these misers will pay money for a book, for these shadowless things? What's more, they still had to take the risk of raiding their homes and destroying their homes, they were still forced, and in fact, the Red Turban Army was a bit more than worth the loss.
Uncle didn't say that what you did was wrong, but I didn't expect them to react so much.
But if you do it, you will not be afraid of them, and you will have to slap yourself in the face because they can't stand it.
But it would be a bit inappropriate to continue like this. ”
Nine thousand years old said.
He was not fooled by Yang Xin.
"Uncle also knows your thoughts, you want to destroy the foundation of these people who oppose us in the DPRK and China at once, most of the people who oppose us are there, if you turn that area into a militia, naturally there will be no such family of imperial examinations who have been hairpins for generations, which can be regarded as a strategy to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle.
But now that they have been defeated, they no longer dare to oppose us.
Gu Bingqian is.
Even those who opposed us the most fiercely in the past began to shut up, and the governor of Zhejiang also gave the uncle a seminary, saying that it was invited by the people of Zhejiang, and there was no trouble in Suzhou this time, since people have already softened to us, then we have to spare and forgive. In the final analysis, we are fighting back and forth, that is, they have made too much money because the imperial court's annual income is insufficient, and now that they have surrendered, our annual income is enough, so there is no need to continue fighting.
We continue to be unforgiving to them, but let others look down on us.
In the past few years, it has been our northern gentry, and they are also dissatisfied with the Red Turban Army, and some people say that you want to follow Jia Rudao, and some people even say that you use this to buy people's hearts and learn from Wang Mang.
Although the uncle knows that you don't have such thoughts, and the long-lived lord just laughs, but you have also made yourself the target of public criticism, and there were a few gentry who said hello before, but now no matter whether you are a minister or a gentry, they all regard you as a traitor to the country.
Even Sun Chengzong was also very dissatisfied with the Red Turban Army.
If it weren't for the Banzai Lord to suppress it, he would have thought about transferring Gui's cavalry to the south.
This country is long lived, we can do this, we have already treated the kindness of the long live lord, and they have already done it to the long live lord, even if we take a step back now, they will not continue to take risks, but if they are forced again, it is difficult to say what they will do. ”
Kuchitose continued.
"Let's take a look first!"
Yang Xin said noncommittally.
After saying that, he walked directly to the apocalypse that was calling him.
Nine thousand years old sighed in the back, saying that he was also heartbroken for Da Ming.
