The matter in Ganzhou is not worth mentioning.

Those gentry dared to play the people's rebellion, to put it bluntly, because it was the front line, and they would vote for King Gui if they were in a hurry, but King Gui's army was essentially on the defensive, and even if they attacked north, it was just a false shot......

The real line of defense in Ganzhou is Meiling.

Not to mention the Sixing of the nature of the forward outpost, even the Nanxiong behind is not a real line of defense.

The attack from Guangdong to the north, as long as it can't cross Meiling, is nonsense, as for the Gui army from Meizhou or Chengxiang County, the Chaozhou Prefecture at this time, it is at most an attack. The Ganzhou camp was originally subordinate to one army, and an additional army of more than 40,000 people was enough to teach the Gui army to behave, and then the two armies of the Hengyang camp on the western front went out of Quanzhou and Chenzhou to make a feint attack on Yanguan and Shaoguan, which could almost break up the Gui army's attack. Anyway, they had two dangerous passes, one east and one west, to control and contain the passage into Guangdong and Guangxi.

In this respect, they are much better than Dolgon, who has no obstacles to rely on.

But they are also much worse in strength.

The Ming army had two camps in Hengyang and Ganzhou, a main force and three newly reorganized armies, adding up to nearly 90,000 people, which was enough to firmly press King Gui in Liangguang, and the total number of the latter's troops was only a little more than 100,000, that is, it was easy to defend and difficult to attack by relying on the mountains. As for the simplicity of the local civil change, Yang Qing's favorite thing is that the gentry make trouble, and directly send Jinyiwei to take the lead, confiscate his land cadastre as official land, and then turn the tenants into militia to reduce the rent to a maximum of 40%......

The tenants will surely cheer.

Without these tenants who were attached to the gentry to be cannon fodder for them, which gentry would have made trouble? Did they themselves go into battle with their hoes?

But for those behind the scenes, you have to give them some color......

Xuancheng.

The former Xuanzhou Wei commanded the Yamen.

"That's not right!"

Wu Shun, the former commander of the First Army Battalion of the Reserve Ningguo Brigade, who was transferred out of the combat unit and turned into a reserve general because he was blind in one eye on the battlefield, said Wu Shun, the former commander of the First Army Battalion who trained with a group of military households in the old guard station.

"I didn't have such a little bit of the guard office official field I saw in the Dadu Governor's Mansion! That's more than half the story! Outside of the king, where did all those lands go? ”

He went on to say.

"Commander Wu, that's all there is to the Weisho fields that the Jingjie team has checked, and the rest of Ningguo Mansion is all private land, all of which are private fields with land deeds that can be checked, as for why it is not right in the Dadu Governor's Mansion, I don't know if this is true. The duty below is to check the number of official fields, and the official fields that have been checked out are all that, and there is no omission or wrong measurement in the lower area. ”

Wailang, a member of the household department of the warp realm, said very simply.

The two of them do not belong to each other, and Wu Shun's high grade can't control him.

"Then you are not mistaken, I am not mistaken, is it possible that the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion copied the wrong one from Xuanwu Lake?"

Wu Shun slapped the table and said.

Wang Yuanwailang drank tea with an indifferent face.

"Governor Liu, can you tell me what's wrong?"

Wu Shun looked at the prefect of Ningguo on the side.

"Commander Wu, this matter is not under the responsibility, the subordinate is only responsible for assisting the meridian team, according to the records of the county to distinguish the official field and the private field, but the measurement and inventory of the official field is not the subordinate duty, and the civil land can be guaranteed to have a land deed to check, and there is no confusion with the official field."

The prefect said with a smile.

"So what the hell went wrong?"

Wu Shun looked pure and blank......

"So what's wrong with that?"

Yang Qing also faced Wu Shun's report with a pure and blank face.

"It's true that the land has a title deed, and the record of the property of the Weisuo is definitely right, it is all recorded by Emperor Taizu, but the land found out is more than half, so where did the land go? Is there also a drift in the earth? ”

He patted the report and said.

The sages of Donglin pretended not to see his performance one by one.

Everyone knows this unspoken rule.

In fact, when Chongzhen first ordered the official start of the warp realm, he also knew this, and he also pretended not to know, admitting the status quo was the safest way. For Chongzhen, these encroached lands have become a fait accompli, if he just pays taxes, as long as the gentry can pay taxes on these lands, he will not lose much, and forcibly checking and recovering them will definitely arouse the resistance and even resistance of the gentry. And it is useless to take it back, because these military households on the land of the original guard house are gone, and now they are planted by the tenants of the gentry, and the guard system is also about to exist in name only, and there is no need to offend the gentry in order to maintain the guard house.

Anyway, as long as the gentry pay the taxes, it's okay.

But at this moment, Yang Qing found out about this matter, that is, he deliberately did something.

"Marquis Zhongyong, there is no need to continue to investigate this matter, the mintian and the official land have been clearly distinguished, and the militia of the official field have already begun to cultivate, what is the use of entanglement in these old accounts?"

Shi Kefa said.

He actually kindly reminded Yang Qing.

You just have to do it in moderation, and some things can't be more serious.

"Shi Pavilion Department, this is not right, the things in black and white are here, I just want to know where the land that is missing from the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion has gone, how can this become a entanglement of old accounts? Besides, the old account is also an account, and if it is an account, it must be checked, and the land of the military household cannot fly for no reason, even if it flies, we must know where it falls, I said that the military household is getting fewer and fewer, and the original land is gone! But where has all this non-legged land gone? I've got to find out, and then I've got to take mine and give it back to me, and I've got to spit it out if I eat mine. ”

Yang Qing said unceremoniously.

"What does the Marquis of Zhongyong want?"

Zhang Guowei said vigilantly.

"Starting from Ningguofu, Xuanzhouwei's land has been clarified, and then those private fields are checked, and the next step in the border is to check the people's fields, and at the same time check the land deeds door to door. This matter is not the Ministry of Users, and Jinyiwei specially sent someone to be responsible for checking the initial amount of private land in Ningguo Mansion and the increase in reclamation over the years, and the final sum is compared with the actual number of those private fields now. If there is an excess of unknown origin, it must be the land that the Wei is missing, and then check the landlord, and give him a huge amount of land from unknown sources of unexplained imprisonment, if he still does not understand the source, then not only will the unknown source of the cadastral be confiscated, but also have to pay a fine. ”

Yang Qing said viciously.

"Loyal and brave marquis, this matter needs to be cautious!"

Gao Hongtu did not hesitate to dissuade him.

This is to do something, so that will force those gentry to resist, now the border is smooth sailing, the land of the guard is transferred to the militia Huangzhuang, the land of the people is reconfirmed and the tax is paid, it can be said that the two Huangzhuang and taxation are easily solved, the imperial court finances have increased in a straight line, and it has not caused a big local chaos, so far the people have changed as long as Ganzhou.

But if you do this, the people will really revolt.

It is common for the gentry from all over the country to encroach on the land of the guard, this is not a matter of one day, this is an old account of hundreds of years, the earliest is actually not the gentry, but the nobles and officers, but as the civil officials become bigger, they become civil officials. For hundreds of years, generations of moths have been eating the land of the guard, which can be said to be the largest cake, and the emperors of the past dynasties did not dare to touch this even if they knew, because to move this is to be the enemy of all officials and gentry. At first, they didn't even pay taxes, and Zhang Juzheng confirmed their ownership in exchange for paying taxes, but in fact, because of the huge increase in the privileges of fame and exemption in the Wanli Dynasty, in fact, most of them soon did not have to pay taxes anymore.

This is indeed a drawback.

But now that the privilege of fame and fame is abolished, and the gentry are all on errands, these lands can be taxed again.

That's enough.

Just go smoothly and smoothly to get the taxes up!

How much more do you want!

Besides, those lands have title deeds, all of which are recognized by the government, no matter what its source is, it is already the legal land of the gentry, and you have to commit the crime of not knowing the source of the entire huge amount of land, doesn't this force people to fight with you?

"Cautious? There is nothing to be discreet! His Royal Highness, please be asked by Jinyi Wei to thoroughly investigate the disappearance of Xuanzhou Weitian! ”

Yang Qing said to Princess Kunxing.

"Accurate!"

The latter said.

"Your Highness, this matter is very important, and you can't let the loyal and brave marquis mess around!"

Shi Kefa said hurriedly.

"Shi Gebu, the original Xuanzhou Wei's land property was set by Emperor Taizu, which was left by Emperor Taizu to the military households, and now he has disappeared for no reason, how can he face Xiaoling if he doesn't find out where he went? This move of the Marquis of Zhongyong is responsible for Emperor Taizu and the military households in the world, why is there any nonsense? ”

Princess Kunxing said slowly.

All right! The two of them who didn't pass through the door were naturally a group, Shi Kefa and Gao Hongtu looked at each other worriedly, it was obvious that a storm was coming.

However, Zhang Guowei and others were calm.

Of course, it is also possible that this result has already been expected, since Yang Qing wants to poke the hornet's nest, they are happy to watch from the wall, so let the gentry of Ning Guofu educate him. There is no suspense that Yang Qing dares to investigate the civil rebellion in the Ningguo Mansion, and most of Xuanzhouwei's land has indeed been encroached upon by the gentry, but it has been confirmed through Zhang Juzheng's meridian boundary, and Yang Qing is robbing their land. Especially last year, they paid the tax honestly, you collected the tax, and you wanted to grab the land, even if you bully people, you don't take such a bully, and the gentry in Ningguo Mansion who encroached on the land of Xuanzhou Wei don't fight hard with him!

And it's not just Ning Guofu, if he really understands the land of Xuanzhou Wei, the next step will definitely be the other guards, and the gentry in other places are not stupid, and they will all be unlucky if they don't suppress the demonic wind that Yang Qing has blown.

So he will face the riots in the whole Gangnam.

Whether or not he has the ability to resist the unanimous counterattack of the entire Jiangnan gentry group depends on Yang Qing's ability, but one thing is certain, that is, during this period, Yang Qing will definitely not be able to attack north, and Dolgon will get another year of respite. This is exactly the result that Donglin Qunxian wants, they are not worried about anything else now, they are worried that Yang Qing's Northern Expedition will beat Dolgon back or even destroy it. That would be a real disaster for them, and in order to ensure that Yang Qing was held back, it was completely acceptable to have some internal turmoil.
