Chapter 141: The Traitor and the Demon Queen

This certainly won't be the end.

Xu Hongji's sudden jump out of such a high-profile toss is not entirely because they were forced to have no choice by the New Deal, after all, the New Deal only caused them a little loss, but these guys can all be said to be rich and rival the country, and they can fully bear this loss.

More of them are actually ambitious.

The Ming Dynasty's Xungui group has been suppressed from beginning to end, after the change of the civil fort because of the heavy losses were completely overwhelmed by the civil system, although the change of the civil fort also killed a large number of civil officials, but the supplement of the civil officials is very simple, how many or how many, the real ability in the nobles is to die one less one, since then the nobles have been in a slump, under the shackles of the civil officials one by one system became a pig, but to say that these guys are so willing to be pigs all the time is naΓ―ve, they are also thinking about turning over all the time......

Pigs have dreams, too

Those in Beijing don't have a chance.

But these people in Nanjing were pleasantly surprised to find that the opportunity to fall from the sky like pie in the sky came.

Chongzhen moved the capital.

Nanjing is their pigsty.

There are a large number of nobles gathered here, needless to say, the Xu family of the Duke of Wei, Zhu Guobi, the Marquis of Funing, Zhang Gongri, the descendant of Zhang Xin, a famous traitor under Jianwen during the Jingjing period, Li Zushu, the Marquis of Linhuai, the descendant of the founding father Li Wenzhong, who was demoted by the Duke of Cao, Sun Weicheng, the Marquis of Huaining, Sun Weicheng, the Marquis of Huaining, and the descendants of Tang He broke off the hereditary lineage after the death of Tang He because of the early death of his eldest son, and Tang Guozuo, the Marquis of Lingbi, who was not re-sealed until the year of Jiajing, etc., a total of nearly 20 hereditary nobles. These people all have prominent family backgrounds, even the lowest status of Cheng Anbo Guo Zuo Yongzu is also Guo Liang who guarded Yongping to protect Zhu Di's back during the Jingjing Dynasty, these people carved up almost all the official positions of the Nanjing Five Military Governor's Mansion and the Nanjing Jinyi Guard System, and also carved up the vast majority of real estate shops in Nanjing and the vast majority of land outside the city.

It can be said that the city of Nanjing is theirs.

Now that Chongzhen is here, isn't it time for them to turn over and become masters?

However, they were disappointed.

Chongzhen didn't care about them at all, Chongzhen's cronies were northerners who moved south together, and Chongzhen was wooing the Wenchen who represented the southern gentry, and the military towns outside who held military power, they used to be pigs and now they are still pigs, and even Chongzhen also put some blood from them to others from time to time.

For example, Yang Qing's Earl's Palace.

Another example is Jingying.

The soldiers of the old guards who formed the Beijing camp were originally used as farmers for these guys, and the commanders of the guards in Nanjing were all in the hands of a few of them, and the following military households could be used as they liked, for example, when Zhu Guobi bought Kou Baimen, he sent 5,000 guards to line up from the brothel to his house in order to put on a show. But after the establishment of the Beijing camp, these free laborers no longer have anything to do with them, and the land income of the guards who used to be greedy for ink at will has nothing to do with them, and those lands are directly distributed to these soldiers as rewards......

It's unbearable!

They don't get anything, but they have to be cut off constantly.

In this case, of course, they have to resist.

Chongzhen's death can be said to be the most suspicious of them, but the Donglin Party is not very suspicious, from Zhang Guowei and these people do not know that the nobles push the king of fortune, it can be seen that they have no complicity in this matter, of course, it is only inevitable that they will quickly form an alliance against the eunuch party afterwards.

But the Donglin Party will not fight Yang Qing to the end on this issue, they are actually more willing to stay out of the matter and reap the benefits of the fisherman, so Zhang Guowei and others quickly made their position clear on the succession of the crown prince and accepted it......

After all, this meant that the imperial power was weaker.

In fact, they are the same as those aristocratic gentlemen in the British Parliament, what they want is that the imperial power is constantly weakened, so the aristocratic gentlemen of the British Parliament would rather have a queen than a male king, and would rather have a foreigner as a king than the fine traditions of their own orthodoxy, which is similar here in their Eastern counterparts. A woman in charge of the country is in line with the Donglin Party's wishes, even if it is not in accordance with the etiquette law, but this is not a big deal, the Donglin Party is not a Taoist, their boss Qian Qianyi directly married a prostitute as a wife, and an emperor with an empty title thousands of miles away is also in line with their wishes, what they don't like is just one more minister, but fortunately, the minister still has a way to deal with it after all.

And the nobles could not accept it.

They are sure to resist.

And Yang Qing waited for their resistance, saying that Uncle Zhongyong hadn't raided his house for a long time, and if he put these nobles in Nanjing in one pot, it is estimated that the Ming Dynasty would not have to worry about financial problems in five years.

They're all very rich.

Copying all these guys, not to mention copying 70 million like Li Zicheng, but copying 20 or 30 million should not be stressful, especially their land is urgently needed by Yang Qing, because if he wants to continue to complete the expansion of the Beijing camp, he needs a lot of land to reward those soldiers, and these guys' land is just copied to expand the army, and Changhua has found iron ore over there, and now a large number of laborers are urgently needed to clean up the mountains and forests, dig soil and dig stones......

"You can't kill them all!"

Zhang Yan warned him very seriously.

Obviously, the Queen Mother had guessed that this guy was playing to lure the snake out of the hole, and then caught it all.

"The queen mother can rest assured, the ministers will only copy the family at most, like the Duke of Wei and the Marquis of Linhuai, and the ministers will let them keep them, and find someone from their descendants to inherit, in the final analysis, the ministers still have a lot of respect for the founding fathers of Zhongshan and Qiyang."

Yang Qing said.

Zhang Yan nodded.

Many of these people have iron coupons, Yang Qing kicked Zhao Zhilong to death is already an exaggeration, and it would be too much to serve these guys in one pot, leaving the title to find a descendant to inherit, but confiscating most of the property and land, and then exiled some members to remote areas to reduce the number of their clans to the greatest extent, which is also the usual means of the imperial court to deal with these noble families that have lasted too long and are growing more and more.

"But the Queen Mother, the minister thinks that our Ming Dynasty's knighthood system, including the clan system, has to be changed."

Yang Qing said.

"How?"

Zhang Yan said.

Let Princess Kunxing supervise the country is just for her to avoid being caught between Yang Qing and the ministers in the future, but in fact, the real decision has to be discussed between her and Yang Qing, and she can't expect a little girl who is only sixteen years old, including Yang Qing, he and Princess Kunxing are talking about a fart, what he says is what he says, but he can't do this after all, he must form a strong alliance with Zhang Yan.

"Sealed."

Yang Qing said.

"All the clans and nobles are sealed.

The system of the imperial court was indeed possible in the early days, but after a long time, like now, all the finances are used to support these useless guys, especially those clans, they are of no use to the imperial court, but the imperial court still has to give them a salary according to the title, so what is the fief for?

It's a good time to take this opportunity to get rid of them.

At this time, most of them were concentrated in Nanjing, and they could only rely on the imperial court to raise them, so they simply divided a fief into the uninhabited areas caused by the war in Huainan Lake and Guangzhou, and let them farm by themselves. And the same is true of the southern feudal domains, which are limited to their fiefs and feed themselves, and we will not give them a salary, at most they will be exempted from land endowments, and the number of fiefs will be specified in a domain, and their descendants will not give additional fiefs in the future, but will be divided from their own fiefs.

However, the restrictions on their official status can be relaxed.

If they are not willing to share, then the descendants can do any other industry, including being an official in the court or even leading soldiers, of course, this has to rely on their own ability to eat, I have to say that the current clan is all a bunch of waste, except for the Tang King is also worthy of the blood of Emperor Taizu, which of the others is not worthy of Emperor Taizu? ”

Yang Qing said.

It is said that his black hand has finally reached out to the clan.

However, Zhang Yan was obviously a little moved, and it was obvious that she was also interested in throwing the clan out to fend for herself.

"That's too much, isn't it? Most of these clans in Nanjing don't understand anything! Even if they give them land, they won't be able to plant it, especially since there is no population in those places, and they can't even recruit tenants, so they will definitely oppose it. ”

She hesitated.

"Do they have the right to object?"

Yang Qing said disdainfully.

"As for not being able to farm, it's easy to do, don't they all have subordinate officers and even their own guards? No matter how bad it is, there are those clansmen who have no officials and lords who follow them! Wouldn't these people? I really won't send someone to teach them, it's a big deal that the Queen Mother will reward them with a year's rations and seeds and reward them with a few cows, if they can still starve to death like this, then it is estimated that Emperor Taizu will not recognize such a waste-like descendant in the spirit of heaven. Let's not announce it yet, when these nobles are over, they will definitely get a few clans as banners, and the queen mother can use this name to announce this matter as a punishment. ”

He leaned on Zhang Yan's ear and whispered.

Zhang Yan smiled and nodded slowly.

So the combination of the traitor and the demon queen made a plan to kick the clan away and leave it to fend for itself.

"Alas, the old man is also heartbroken, the first emperor left early, I didn't expect the Daxing Emperor to go like this, the old man is a surviving person, I don't want to be mourned by the two emperors in a row, I have to worry about this Ming dynasty at such an age!"

Zhang Yan slapped her shoulder and sighed.

Yang Qing hurriedly came behind her and began to massage the Queen Mother's shoulder, Zhang Yan's face was slightly red, although Yang Qing did not diagnose her pulse once, but this behavior was the first time, but she still did not stop it after all, leaning on the short couch and letting Yang Qing's hand massage on the shoulder of her only single clothes. Soon, she closed her eyes comfortably under Yang Qing's superb technique, accompanied by the lingering aroma, and there was a slight strange sound in her nose......
