Chapter 518: The Last Idealist
"You want to fight the world alone!"
Li Laiheng said.
Da Ming Di Hua Du Tong, the Fourth Cavalry Army of the Army, the Guanxi Commander Si Du Command Envoy, Dingyuan Marquis Li Laiheng, came back all the way to give his father a funeral......
Li Guo died.
Ming Shaanxi patrol envoy, Qin Guogong Li Guo died on March 19 of the second year of Kunxing due to illness at the age of 51, as his adopted son, in fact, he can also be regarded as an adopted son, Li Laiheng naturally wants to come back. He didn't come back to Li Zicheng's funeral last time, when Liu Zongmin had just died, and his subordinates had to be suppressed, from Dihua to Chang'an for a few months, in case of an accident, it would be troublesome. These old bandits are all elites of a hundred battles, and most of them have settled in the local area, if they make a separation, it will not be so easy to solve it, in the end Li Zicheng's funeral he did not attend, but Li Guo must participate.
This is his father.
"One person against the world? It's kind of interesting, but fortunately there is no opponent for me in this world! ”
Yang Qing said.
Lee Rae-hyung was speechless.
"You and King Chuang are the same kind of people, and they both want to solve the injustices of this world, but not everyone is like you.
In our case, don't we all pursue glory and wealth? King Chuang's final choice is also helpless, he is actually about to be unable to suppress the generals, the commune system allows everyone to eat enough, but those generals still have beautiful wives and concubines, and fine clothes and food. At the beginning, they could follow King Chuang to endure hardships, but they could endure hardships in one year, but it would be different in three or five years.
As a result, everyone is greedy for money.
After you break us up, see which one is not rich?
Gao Yigong has been managing financial power all these years, how much silver has fallen into his hands? King Chuang has always farmed and hunted by himself to support his family, but his food and drink are no worse than those of the wealthy families in Nandu, and the other generals are all clothed and fed, otherwise do you think it will be so easy for them to give up resistance?
They have already been softened by wealth. ”
He said quietly.
"What do you want to say?"
Yang Qing said with a smile.
"I want to say that your move is useless, those civil and military generals of yours just don't dare, but there is no one to support you in their hearts, even if the Gongtian Law is passed, they will try their best to destroy it. Zhu Yuanzhang may not have understood these back then, and he also tried his best to curb the merger, he founded the military household system at the beginning to use military households to deal with the gentry and prevent the gentry from becoming bigger, but what was the result? Without the gentry's hands, his old brothers can't stand it themselves, fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang is ruthless enough, and the knife is sharp enough, but it's a pity that you don't have Zhu Yuanzhang's ruthlessness, if one day Huang Fei Cao Youyi and these people destroy your system, do you have the ruthlessness to use the knife against them?
You may say that they all have a stake in you, and you don't have to make any money at all.
Is that really the case?
Who would be too rich to bite the fingers?
Your Huangzhuang system is very good, but Huangzhuang is still a military household with a different face, so how can you be sure that your Huangzhuang generals will not try to make money from the militia and make it collapse like those Weizhuang generals? The government soldier system of the Tang Dynasty was broken, the 800,000 forbidden troops of the Song Dynasty were played into a bunch of peddlers with a drum beat and more than 100,000 people collapsed, and Zhu Yuanzhang's military households that swept the world were played into a group of begging for food.
So why can your militia avoid it?
Do you have a brocade guard?
Zhu Yuanzhang's brocade guard is more ruthless than your brocade guard. ”
Li Laiheng said.
Yang Qing's public land law was also a national reserve system, and all those who rented state-owned land were citizens, and these citizens were also organized into militia according to the reserve and reserve service levels, and the imperial people of Huangzhuang were treated the same. That is, pay exactly the same rent, but also bear exactly the same military service, as for the compulsory education, medical care, pension and other aspects of the Huangzhuang. However, this will definitely take some time, Yang Qing has not completed the compulsory education of Huangzhuang until now, and the compulsory education and medical popularization of these citizens may take at least 20 years. In any case, it is certain that every village or neighbouring villages must have a primary school, and every village must have a medical clinic.
These clinics are actually barefoot doctors.
But a barefoot doctor is also sufficient.
In this era, those who understand disinfection, have primary medical knowledge, and can diagnose and treat some simple diseases are real doctors.
In short, these are the public estates......
The imperial people are the imperial villages, and these citizens are of course the public villages, as for those vassal kings, even if they are feudal villages, those lords are Xunzhuang, and the latter two court does not care, those feudal kings, and the lords and ministers love to set as much land rent as they please, and the people of these Zhuangzi do not need to undertake military service.
And the Huangzhuang and the Gongzhuang are treated the same.
It's just that the Huangzhuang is collected by the imperial property supervisor, and the expenses are also responsible for the imperial property supervisor, while the public village is taxed by the imperial court, and the expenses are also responsible for the imperial court. In this way, the head of the future Gongzhuang will also be in accordance with this principle, and several candidates will be selected by each village, and then handed over to local officials to appoint, as for the commander of the capital, there will be no increase, after all, there are more than 50 militia troops in the Ming Dynasty, and the scale of this reserve is enough. The reserve establishment still maintains this number, but the original Huangzhuang militia is the backbone or officer of the reserve, the Gongzhuang militia is the reserve soldiers, and all the remaining young and strong people form the reserve.
The military appoints the head of the Huangzhuang Zhuang, and the local officials appoint the head of the Gongzhuang Zhuang, forming mutual supervision.
But......
Any system will be broken.
Just like Li Laiheng said, the Tang Dynasty's military system can be broken, and Zhao Kuangyin's forbidden army can be played like a drum of the Jin army on the bank of the Yellow River to scare hundreds of thousands of wastes.
So why won't Yang Qing's militia system be broken?
He can be an idealist.
He can do his best to consider ordinary people, but the entire group under him wants to enjoy glory and wealth, and they all want to ride above ordinary people. Zhu Yuanzhang's butcher's knife did not solve the problem, Li Zicheng personally took the repair channel to solve it, why did Yang Qing think that he could solve it?
Even if it's an immortal, you can't fight the whole system!
"Looks like you've grown a lot over the years!"
Yang Qing said unexpectedly.
"Farewell for three days, when you look at each other, not to mention that we have been away for many years!"
Li Laiheng said.
"I'll admit it's hard to avoid it, but what can we do? Is it because of this that you don't do what you need to do now? There is no one-size-fits-all solution, at least I haven't found it yet, but first of all, I have to do one thing, which is to make the poor so that no matter how poor they are, they will not have nowhere to eat. He can be poor, he can't eat meat, he can't drink wine, he can't afford to wear silk and satin, but he can eat enough, even if he eats sweet potatoes, he can have a warm clothes, even if it's just a coarse cotton jacket. He can stand in this world as a person with a minimum of dignity, without kneeling and praying for a little leftovers from anyone, and he will not be unable to go out to pay New Year's greetings because he has no clothes to wear, and that's all I can do.
As for the equal wealth and poverty.
I really can't do this! ”
Yang Qing said.
Having said that, such a heavy burden really forgave him for not being able to do anything, at least in the world he knew, there were really few people who could do it, and those who dared to try this would end up bleak.
He dared to be Juntian's one person against the world.
But for the sake of both rich and poor, he would not dare to fight the world alone.
"You still can't do it after all!"
Li Laiheng said sarcastically.
"I'm not an immortal, and I've never said I'm an immortal, not to mention that there are some things that even immortals can't solve, I only do what I can, I can only seek a bottom line for the world, and I can't do anything more."
Yang Qing said.
Li Laiheng was silent.
Obviously, he is still insisting on his idealism, and he is very helpless about the reality of the Ming Dynasty, as the number one general of the younger generation under Li Zicheng, he followed Li Zicheng to create a commune in Guanzhong from scratch. Then he watched those generals who fought the world together become corrupt, and even Li Zicheng had no choice but to hand over everything before he died. And now Yang Qing has seen that he has moved towards his ideals a little, but he didn't expect to be such an irresponsible, enterprising guy who has no sense of justice and mission......
He looked blankly at the garden in front of him like an idealistic last defender.
"You can find another Dihua Dutong!"
Suddenly he said.
"Uh, you're not going to see through the red dust, are you?"
Yang Qing said in amazement.
"I'm thousands of miles away in the desert and yellow sand, fighting bloody battles to protect you wealthy relatives and nobles? I'm not so cheap, since I followed King Chuang to seek a peaceful and prosperous world, then you have done it now, and the Ming Dynasty is already considered a peaceful and prosperous world. Even if it is still your peaceful and prosperous world, but at least the common people are no longer hungry, and our rebellion has given Jiannu a chance, but we have repaid what we owe you when we recapture the northern capital, so why should I suffer that again? I have already conquered the city of Azov before, and the front line of the Yarkand is in Balchuk, and our cavalry will be able to reach Yarkand in no more than ten days at most, so it can be said that only the final charge remains.
But you have to be careful of the Dzungars.
After they annihilated the Russian army in Tomsk three years ago, they temporarily held back the Russians, and now they are encroaching on the Great Yuz, and they have repeatedly moved south from the direction of Tuschi, although they are our allies, their ambition is clearly not only to be vassals of the Ming Dynasty. ”
Li Laiheng said.
Asu is Aksu.
Obviously, during his return to the Western Regions, he caused a lot of harm to Yarkand.
In fact, Yarkand has already begged for mercy.
They had previously sent envoys to try to exchange the Ming truce for a tribute, but their envoys were driven back at Jiayuguan, and Yang Qing's order to the defenders of Jiayuguan was that no heretics were allowed to enter Jiayuguan. And the Yarkand people are obviously, as for the Dzungar people are not, after all, the Ming people are still a legitimate faith, and the Dzungar people, no matter which faction they are, are also bald after all, so they are not defined as heretics.
However, they are not allowed to preach in the interior.
But their spread among the Mongol tribes was respected by Her Majesty the Empress......
And with a lot of respect.
Her Majesty has decreed that the contributions of the Mongol ministries should be her personal endowment for the construction of monasteries in the Mongol ministries, and that there should be at least one temple in each of the pastoral districts of the Great and Small Khans. The better these temples are built, the more monks there are, the more rewards the Great Khan will receive, and even the sons and daughters of the Great Khan may be qualified as the empress's bodyguards and then live permanently in the southern capital......
The Ming Dynasty was friendly to the Mongolian brothers.
In the past, there were many Mongolian generals in the Ming Dynasty, and there were even nobles from Mongolians!
The same will be true in the future!
In short, the Mongol khans could desperately squeeze their herdsmen, and then use the blood and sweat of the herdsmen to maintain the luxurious life of their children in the southern capital, and it would not be long before they degenerated into traitors to their own people.
But the Yarkand are not qualified.
So Da Ming didn't even accept their pleas for mercy.
Li Laiheng hit Aksu, and the front line of the Yarkand people became Bachu, and Balchuk was the modern Bachu, and on the other side of them, there was an attack on Kashgar and other places by the Dzungar Department from the direction of Tusichi, that is, Issyk-Kul Lake, and basically the Yarkand people entered the countdown. And they have no way back at this time, and the only option left for them is to go to the Pamirs, or continue along the edge of the desert to Khotan, which is also their territory, but there is no use there, nothing more than to survive. What's more, Yang Qing can also recruit the Heshuo Special Department to participate in this purge battle, and the latter will happily send troops to attack Khotan.
In addition to this, there is Ladakh.
That is, the White Religion.
The Heshute tribe is the Yellow Sect, but the previous Zangba Khan was the White Sect, and after being conquered by the Heshute tribe, the White Sect, which refused to accept the rule of the Heshute tribe, established itself in the Ladakh area.
They also paid homage to the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, Baijiao has always had a good relationship with the Ming Dynasty before, and Yang Qing didn't care about giving them a vassal title, and now there is the Huaiyi County King of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the original Ladakh King Monk Grajie ruled, and every year the Ming Dynasty rewarded them with some tea and sugar, etc., and they paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty to give each other some local products.
Anyway, Da Ming wouldn't worry about it.
In short, the Yarkand people have been clamped by the Ming Dynasty from the north and south, and the only choice is the Pamir Plateau, but the Pamir Plateau is divided between them and Bukhara and Kazakh, and it is difficult to say whether the latter two brothers accept them. And Kazakhstan is also the target of the attack of the Dzungar Ministry, originally the Dzungar and Kazakh Ministry's continuous war in the next few decades in history, and it was the Dzungar Ministry's pressure on the Kazakhs to fight, until the death of Ge Erdan, the Kazakhs did not ease their breath.
Of course, for Yang Qing, the most important thing at present is to continue to move forward and win Yarkand.
"You're going to make it difficult for me!"
Yang Qing said with some embarrassment.
