The new Standing Committee, which has just been elected by the Four People's Congress, has completed the supplement of the Da Ming Law on the crime of treason as quickly as possible......

In other words, this law is getting better and better.

Now the greatest pleasure of the delegates of the Four People's Congress is to study this law, to take the trouble to improve it, and then to use his force to ensure the implementation of this law, whether it is the court or the local officials, all judgments must be in accordance with the law. There are fewer and fewer cases of bending the law for personal gain, the arbitrary judgments of officials have become a thing of the past, even lawyers have appeared, more and more appeals from ordinary people against unfair judgments, and the three-level trial system of local officials, according to the judges, and Dali Temple has been truly standardized. Those who are not satisfied with the judgment of local officials can appeal to the judges, and those who are not satisfied can appeal to the Dali Temple, the judgment of the Dali Temple is final, and even the local court has begun to pilot, it can be said that today's Ming Dynasty really has the appearance of a legal country.

Since it is a country with a legal system, of course, everything is done in accordance with the law.

The act of the gentry of Guangde instructing their domestic slaves to kill the members of the land reform team was quickly and clearly defined as a rebellion by the Four People's Congress, not only this kind of behavior, but also any act of confronting the army by force was defined as rebellion. Resistance at the time of police arrest is considered a criminal offense of resisting arrest, but if the army dares to resist by force, then this is not a rebellion, and as for an organized attack on a state official, this is more fully in line with the standard of rebellion.

In short, their crime of treason is clear, and the rest is to judge according to the law.

Fortunately, there is still hope for them.

After all, the people in charge of the trial are all civilian officials, and they have a natural favor for them, and Yang Qing has not been able to complete the reform of the judicial system in such a short time, and this work is not something that can be done by just one person.

Whether it is local officials, local judges, or even Dali Temple, it is still the old civil officials who have an absolute advantage, and it can be seen from the last trial of Cai Qixu and others that the judges will still do their best to save these people. Then find all kinds of reasons for them in the trial, so as to reduce their punishment, especially the Zhulian Nine Clans This kind of thing is basically impossible, there was no Zhulian Nine Clans last time, but in any case, it is necessary to raid the house.

These civil servants are also counted.

They know what Yang Qing wants, and there is a limit to their protection, at least they can't risk touching Yang Qing's bottom line and then being retaliated by Yang Qing.

But that's just the beginning.

This could not stop the gentry from resisting.

In fact, at this time, not only Guangde, but also the entire mountainous area in the south of Nanzhili and even the water network area around Taihu Lake, there are more or less similar banditry, including the water network area in Jiangbei, as well as around Chaohu Lake......

It was clear that the gentry had really made up their minds.

They want to fight.

And Yang Qing's response was also very simple, that is, to mobilize the army in the north to suppress it in the south, following the previous three armies into suppressing bandits, the original Li Zicheng left a cavalry army and an infantry army, which were also quickly transferred from Hebei to the south. In addition, an infantry corps with the Huangzhuang District of Beizhili as the backbone also went south, and the entire six armies were all pressed to Nanzhili, and all the Qingzhang troops were protected by heavy troops, and the bandits who dared to attack were pursued to the end even if they drilled into the mountains and forests. And those gentry related to it, as long as they find it, they will all be copied for the crime of treason, just like Yang Qing said, the Zhulian Nine Clans are a bit ruthless, but the Zhulian Three Clans are still okay, in short, it is necessary to raid the house. At the same time, heavy rewards are given to whistleblowers, and those who expose the gentry's rebellion are all rewarded, even if there are false accusations, they are not guilty, and Jin Yiwei is even more ridden, constantly creating terrifying news about raiding homes......

"What's that? Believe it or not, one day I let the Four Peoples Assembly restore the Great Decree? ”

Yang Qing said.

He hasn't released the criticism yet, this is already gentle enough, the northern gentry have been made by this set to call the earth ineffective, and the southern gentry have not surrendered to Jiannu after all, so it is still too ruthless to use this. The main thing is that it is not necessary, now the situation is completely under his hands, more than 100,000 elites of the six armies, plus more than 100,000 militiamen who have been recruited, under such heavy pressure, any resistance from those gentry is tantamount to a mantis arm.

How many bandits can they gather?

It's nothing more than those house slaves, at most a few fugitives, and a very small number of young and strong people in their family, it is impossible for them to go into battle directly, after all, they don't have the guts yet.

In this way, the army was used to protect the Qingzhang team, and the clearing of various places was successfully completed, and all that was left was compulsory nationalized land.

The gentry reckon with their wisdom.

Receive the first batch of cash from him, plus the land vouchers that have been cashed in different years, the reclamation certificate of the northern reclamation, and then completely relinquish their control over the land. Or sell the reclamation certificates to others and rely on the wealth accumulated before to transfer to industry and commerce to become capitalists, or take these reclamation certificates and take domestic slaves to the north to become plantation owners, in short, they will have a good life. In fact, they will not really lose anything, whether they are capitalists or plantation owners, their future can be said to be bright, there is land in the north that can be cultivated, even Liaodong can become fertile. The harvest of potatoes planted by King Gui last year was very impressive, and the climate in Liaodong is indeed a little cold at present, but no matter how cold it is, it can't be cold in Russia, and the Russians can rely on potatoes to support the food supply in the cold environment, not to mention the northeast.

In short, Yang Qing will not pit them.

But if he is obsessed, he has to fight him to the end, then he has no choice but to raid his home.

"Just do it!"

Her Majesty said.

At this time, Her Majesty's dragon boat was slowly coming from the river ahead, but this was no longer a sailboat, and the dragon boat was driven by two huge paddle wheels, which were driven by steam engines, like two waterwheels......

And not just one.

In fact, it was a fleet, a full twenty paddle steamers, dragging the black smoke that filled the sky against the current.

This was also the first public appearance of Yang Qing's steamships, which had previously been built in a closed shipyard, but they were not large in size and had a flat bottom. In fact, they were only designed for use in canals, ensuring that they could sail all the way to Tianjin, which is their most valuable use. Although the shipping of the Ming Dynasty was already very developed at this time, and it was fully able to ensure the supply of materials for the left-behind division of the Northern Capital, the role of the canal was not only to transport military supplies. It also drives the economic prosperity of the entire route, the prosperity of the cities on both sides of the canal, all depend on this waterway, countless people depend on it for their livelihood, and the tributary waterways also allow the prosperity to expand to both sides. In the absence of a railway connection in the short term, it is necessary to ensure that the economy of the North does not lag too far behind the South, and that the canal is unblocked, which cannot be replaced by shipping.

Its transportation capacity will not be diminished by the return of the capital to the south, and in fact its transportation capacity will remain irreplaceable for the next two decades, and if the northern plantation economy really unfolds, the canal will also become the lifeblood of the southern factories.

But the sailboat is definitely not going to work.

The canal shipping of the future belongs to the steamboats.

Now, of course, their mission is only to serve as Her Majesty's dragon boats, and this fleet will carry Her Majesty the Empress, her brother Zhu Shuren, King Fu, and the Tang King, who has just been transferred back from Yunnan, to the northern capital to meet the Empress Dowager's Zi Palace. For this reason, Yang Qing has already hoarded enough coal in advance in the supply cities along the line, and even the maintenance workers have gone north to standby.

He will also accompany the Empress on her journey north.

As for Nandu......

There are ministers!

There is also the Four People's Congress!

If anyone wants to rebel at this time, then don't miss the opportunity!

"I'm doing an experiment, if no one dares to rebel like this, then our country can be considered stable, I just want to see what those guys with ghosts in their hearts can do without me pressing on their heads, and at this time their patience with me has reached the limit!"

Yang Qing said.

Anyway, there are just two of them in front, and they don't have to be afraid of being heard when they talk quietly.

"What if anyone really dares to rebel?"

The Empress said.

"You know, I have always longed for Taizu's feat of purging tens of thousands of people at once, but unfortunately I never got the opportunity."

Yang Qing said.

If someone really dares to take the opportunity to rebel, then it is just right to carry out a purge, now the Ming Dynasty does not have any external enemies that are really worth paying attention to, even the European colonizers are not worth mentioning, and no one can turn over in the case of the comprehensive crushing of the Ming Dynasty's science and technology, economy and military. If you add up all the land forces of the current European countries, they are not as good as the Ming Army, and if you throw away the gap in equipment, the mobilization capacity of the reserve forces alone can report the mercenaries in Europe to explode, and all the warships in the European countries that can drive to the east can not beat the Ming Navy either......

Although the Ming Navy is not too strong.

But the advantage of distance makes the European countries, even if they unite, only look up to them in the East, after all, their fleets are also useless here.

In the future, I can only look up.

In this way, the main enemies in the future can only be those inside, and his perverse behavior in the recent period has already caused too much internal dissatisfaction, and although these people remain neutral, they are actually suppressing their anger. Yang Qing didn't know how many of his past friends were already unbearable with him, so what he needed to do was to lure them out one by one, and then clean them up one by one, just like many people who were described as tyrants did.

At most, he doesn't kill that many people.

Zhu Yuanzhang can't help it, he is kind-hearted, those old brothers are not going to attack him, it's okay to fall into the water, there are too many historical secrets in the early Ming Dynasty, how many heroes he killed are innocent, this is really hard to say, but Yang Qing doesn't need to be afraid.

He couldn't be killed.

So he can be moderately soft on this issue, and he doesn't have to kill people, just exile those who should be cleaned up.

Exile in Australia.

Just when Yang Qingchang thought that someone would rebel after he left, and then happily began to cleanse and exile all those cows, ghosts, snakes and gods to Australia, the first paddle steamer docked. He hurriedly helped Her Majesty the Empress to board the ship, followed by his son, and His Royal Highness the Prince of Daming still staggered on his own, and he would also go to the northern capital to meet his grandmother. Boarding the dragon boat for his family of three, Yang Qing and Her Majesty the Empress turned to look at the crowd of farewells on the shore, just like many leaders who boarded the plane and set off, waving goodbye to them......

"We were just played like monkeys by him!"

The plug on the shore sighed.

The vigorous Daming railway movement, so far it has been silent, the railway that has been built in the Ming Dynasty is outside the southern capital, and there are several mines to build a few short distances, and the only real railway under construction is Luoyang to Tongguan. The speed of construction is not slow, the track has begun to be laid in Luoyang, and it is expected to be paved to Xin'an by the end of the year, but it is said that it can only be repaired to Kip Shiyi, because it will take five to ten years to dig a tunnel under the mountain. And this is only the most optimistic estimate, and no one knows how long it will take to dig through this nearly four-mile-long tunnel, after all, such a project has never been done before.

So this railway is also far away.

There are also a few more in the exploration design, but they are only on the drawing paper.

In short, after the initial gorgeous bubble burst, the magnificent railway plan of the Ming Dynasty was only a bunch of worthless stocks, and now the most ruthless words of Nandu are to curse the whole family to buy railway stocks.

Countless people's wealth has disappeared in this way.

I don't know how many people jumped into the river because of this!

And then this culprit took out his real good things, and here openly mocked the intelligence of those fat sheep, look at these steamships going up the Yangtze River, this is the real and most practical thing. When you don't need sails, don't need slender men, don't need human oars, and can go up the river day and night, why do you need to build railways with all your might! Especially in the water network like Jiangnan, how many such steam ships have to be built with the money to build a railway, just like the planned Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou railway, can be completely replaced by steam ships.

"But who is to blame for this? In the final analysis, we are outdated, we are too far behind him in our understanding of science, and we can indeed not fall behind in the political battles in the court, but in science we can only be played by him as monkeys. In the end, we are not capable, we know too little about ourselves, like he said, he is collecting IQ tax, he knows more than us, he can play with us at will. In the final analysis, there is only one reason, our knowledge is too different from his, our sage books are no longer enough, this era is no longer able to cope with the sage books, we want not to be played by him with the advantage of knowledge again, then we have to make changes.

As for this? ”

Gu Jiang took out a book of Analects from his arms.

"It's time to throw it away!"

After saying that, he threw the Analects into the surging river in front of him.
