Chapter 411 Planning
Li Jiye was stared at by Liu Renyu and his heart was furious, so he hurriedly asked, "Dashuai, do you have something to say to the last general?" ”
"Naturally, there is." When Liu Renyu heard this, he immediately retracted his gaze, looked around at the generals present, and continued: "Now that the dynasty has reached this point, internal and external troubles are coming, and only by relying on our martial artists can we support the world, but there is a question, I want to ask you, if one day Jiannu, Beiyu, and thieves are all wiped out, and from now on, the Ming Dynasty will be Qingheyan, and the world will be peaceful, what will happen to those of us who hold heavy troops?" ”
As soon as Liu Renyu said this, all the generals present looked at me and I looked at you, silent.
After a long time, Liu Renjie said in a deep voice: "The dynasty uses literature to control the military, obviously can't trust our warriors, if there is really that day, a glass of wine to release the military power is the best ending, if there is a little suspicion today, we will be ruined." ”
"That's right, those princes in the court, now begging us, it's still polite, if there are no internal and external troubles, maybe how to handle us, so I mean, we have to take our fate into our own hands." Liu Renyu bluntly picked out the truth.
The meaning of this sentence is that there is going to be a rebellion, but the generals and masters present, as well as Ma Tianjun, did not have any emotional fluctuations, as if the news they heard was something that was nothing more than usual.
In fact, this is not surprising, if Li Jiye and the others had not met Liu Renyu at the beginning, they were afraid that they would have fallen into the grass on Hutou Mountain and become bandits, they would already want to be thieves, and they would not have much loyalty to the imperial court.
Moreover, the imperial court has always despised the martial arts, so that the martial artists do not have much sense of belonging to the imperial court, and they can now get the status they have now, in fact, all of them are thanks to Liu Renyu's Hongfu, so their loyalty to the imperial court is naturally far less than their loyalty to Liu Renyu.
Wang Zuohang was a thief in the past, and he had already rebelled once, so why not make it again now.
Liu Renjie and Sun Wuxian used to be low-level people of the Ming Dynasty who were struggling to survive on the death line, and they never enjoyed half of the benefits of the imperial court, nor did they have half of their allegiance to this imperial court, so they didn't care about the rebellion.
Liu Renyu looked at the reactions of all the subordinates present, and then smiled with satisfaction: "Very good, gentlemen, I will tell you again about the reasons for the establishment of our Social Democratic Party and the direction of struggle for your party class now.
I told you that since the Three Emperors and Five Emperors created civilization, China has a history of nearly 5,000 years, and this history continued to the time of Qin Shi Huang, which was a feudal society, the Son of Heaven and the princes ruled the world together, and after Qin Shi Huang, it was a centralized patriarchal society.
No matter what kind of society it is, it emphasizes hierarchy, obedience to power, and ignorance policies. Such a social structure led to the unrestricted power of the monarchy and the various powers attached to it, and those who enjoyed these rights became a privileged class.
Since the first emperor, I have been going through such a cycle, great chaos, great governance, then chaos, and then great governance, and so on. Why is this so? Naturally, it was because the privileged class of the old dynasty had multiplied for too long and had many descendants, who relied on their privileges to grab land and hoard property.
In order to satisfy their own selfish desires, the corrupt court inevitably spends a huge amount of money, and the finances cannot make ends meet, so they can only expropriate and extort violently, and the people are forced to be helpless, so they can only rise up.
Because the old dynasties were really rotten, they were usually knocked down by the rebel army, such as the Green Forest Red Mei and the Yellow Turban Army of the Two Han Dynasty, the Wagang of the late Sui Dynasty, the Huangchao of the late Tang Dynasty, and the Taizu Gao Emperor at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. After the rebels have destroyed the old dynasty, they will quickly replace the old privileged class and become the new privileged class.
When the new dynasty was established, the population of the privileged class was not large, the population of the world was not large, the land was relatively large compared to the scarce population, there were few people and more land, and everyone had land to plant, which was temporarily peaceful. Then after a few hundred years, the new emperor grew up in the hands of the women in the deep palace, did not know the suffering of the people, and often lingered in the sound of dogs and horses and could not extricate himself, there were many faint kings and few bright monarchs, the government was not clear, and the population of the privileged class was large, so he would rely on privileges and exploit the people, and corrupt officials and corrupt officials would also derive and bully the people.
You can imagine that those vassal kings of our Ming Dynasty are not only born with a lot of wealth just because they are noble, but they are not satisfied, they insist on annexing people's land, meddling in commerce, and competing with the people for profit. For example, half of the land in Henan is in the hands of the royal family, and most of the remaining half is in the hands of landlords and gentry.
The royal family, the gentry, owned most of the land of the Ming Dynasty, but did not pay taxes, and the poor people only had very little land, but they were burdened with heavy taxes, which was even more unfair.
In the past, our Ming Dynasty was not without rebellions, such as the rebellion of Liu Wu and Liu Liu when the master of the temple, and the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect in Shandong when the first emperor was the emperor, all of which were quickly quelled, but now, in the hands of our emperor, the thieves have not been exterminated since the first year of Chongzhen, and they have not been exterminated until now, and they are still fighting more and more, what kind of scene is this, this is the scene at the end of the dynasty.
The so-called heroes emerge from troubled times, we now have a fundamental place, and with a strong army, I am qualified to shout our ideals.
I want to put an end to the vicious cycle that has occurred in this land, establish a constitutional monarchy system, limit the power of the monarch, restrict privileges, let the people of this land participate in politics, decide their own destiny, and let the people of this land live with dignity and enjoy the rights that they should enjoy as human beings, and the rights as human beings, that is, human rights.
This is the purpose of my establishment of the Social Democratic Party, and the goal of our Social Democratic Party is to be within the Ming Empire, the agriculture and industry, and the equality of the four people; Sovereignty lies in the people, and the republic is a hypocrisy; The judiciary is independent, and the army is nationalized.
The direction of our struggle is the above points, and the detailed principles on these issues have been written down in the program of the Social Democratic Party, and you will look at them carefully after you go back. Now let me talk about how we can realize our party's ideals and how we will act.
First of all, you must know very well that the northern land of Yansui, where we are located, is barren and not very suitable for the development of agriculture, so we can only develop industry and commerce, so as to accumulate money and feed a large army, and I will soon recruit 6,000 new soldiers, so that the total strength of our army will reach 10,000, and then I will take the trained march north to the grassland, rob the northern captives, grab cattle, sheep and horses and other livestock, and develop animal husbandry.
When these foundations are laid, let's wave our army eastward, enter Shanxi, and exterminate all the thieves, leaving only one thief named Li Zicheng, let him continue to stir up the situation in the world, and we will send someone to assist him and set a policy for him, which is called 'cracking down on corrupt officials and inferior gentry, and dividing the land'.
The people suffer because they are oppressed by the regime and the privileged classes that serve it. At present, the thieves are uneven, and every time they break down a place, they are indiscriminate, the poor and the gentry are killed together, and those corrupt officials and gentry who have lost their conscience are innocent, but the people who are suffering from their births are suffering.
Let's send someone to help Li Zicheng, let him reduce the scope of the attack, only crack down on the corrupt officials and bad gentry, and not move the poor people in the slightest, so that the poor people will naturally support Li Zicheng, and his power will develop rapidly.
This Li Zicheng can do what we want to do but can't do, and the privilege can help us uproot the gentry class and kill all the vassal kings scattered all over the country, so that when we establish the new Ming Dynasty, we don't have to worry about the old privileged class counterattacking. After this Li Zicheng is completed, we will eliminate Li Zicheng, eliminate Jiannu and Beiyu, and restore peace to the world again. This is what we Social Democrats need to do. ”
Liu Renyu said a lot, and Li Jiye and other generals listened very seriously.
"Dashuai, everything we have now is given by you, if you want to rebel, it's not a matter of words, why do you need to cultivate that Li Zicheng?" Yang Desheng was puzzled.
"After all, we are now the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, if we rebel, I am afraid that the reputation will be bad, and I want to set up a son of the current emperor as the emperor in the future, if I openly rebel and kill all the vassal kings of the old Zhu family, I am afraid that the descendants of the old Zhu family may not be willing to cooperate with me."
But the thieves have no such concerns at all, Li Zicheng can kill all the Zhu Ming clan, kill all the corrupt officials and shoddy gentry, and then he is afraid that he will have to go to Beijing for a while. In fact, the emperor is not bad to us, but he is orthodox after all, if he does not die, I am afraid that it will be bad for our plans, so we can only let the emperor die. Liu Renyu explained.
"Dashuai, although there are many thieves now, they are very easy to fight, all because they don't have anything to defend, if they wait until they all divide the fields, there are constant producers and perseverance, and the hundreds of thousands of troops made out of this way must be extremely strong in combat, if they get out of control at that time, I am afraid that they will become our great enemy!" Li Jiye reminded Liu Renyu in a timely manner.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, when the time comes, I will order Danqing to train spies, install them next to Li Zicheng, monitor his every move, and don't be afraid that he will give birth to any moths." Liu Renyu said with confidence.
"Dashuai, so many thieves, why did you choose that Li Zicheng?" Ma Tianjun was puzzled.
"That's because Li Zicheng doesn't kill indiscriminately, and his moral character is not bad as a thief." Liu Renyu explained.
"I see!" Ma Tianjun didn't ask Liu Renyu why he knew that there was a thief named Li Zicheng, and his reputation was good, he thought that this must be the intelligence spied out by Liu Renyu's secret agents, but he didn't know that this was actually the result of Liu Renyu's familiarity with history.
"Since the marshal has a plan in his heart, we should follow the marshal's wishes." Li Jiye and other generals and generals Liu Renyu were already confident, so they each expressed their loyalty.
"That's very good, after all these big things, I still have some things I want to talk to you about." Liu Renyu said.
"Please make it clear." You will answer the main voice.
