At first, Shi Jin thought of sending troops to capture Qingzhou and Jeju, and then conquer Yanzhou, connect the three states, and fight against the Song Dynasty under a clear banner.

I just heard Wu Yong say that he wanted to give up Qingzhou City, give up Xucheng, and return to Liangshan Taoguang to raise obscurity.

Could it be that the time is not yet ripe?

The rebellion was related to the life and death of tens of thousands of people, and he couldn't help but be careless, so he humbly asked: "Why is this?" Please also give me some advice! ”

Seeing that Shi Jin was not arrogant because he conquered Qingzhou City, and was still willing to humbly ask himself for advice, Wu Yong nodded with satisfaction.

Wu Yongjiang said the reason that he had already thought of in his heart: "Although we have conquered Qingzhou City, it is not surprising that we can capture Qingzhou, Jeju, and Yanzhou. But we are still not really ready for an uprising! ”

"The Zhao family has been a scholar for more than 150 years, and has never killed a single scribe, and all the scribes in the world are devoted to the Zhao family. The eldest brother revolted at this time, but I am afraid that he will not get much help from the scribes! Without the help of the scribes, who is the eldest brother going to find to govern these states? Without the help of the scribes, if these three states were entrusted to non-people, I am afraid that not only will they not help us collect food, but they will arouse the dissatisfaction of the people, and they will be resentful and want to resist us. ”

"And although the saints of today are greedy for pleasure, they favor traitors. But it has not yet reached the point of anger and resentment, and the people of the world are still looking to the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"Although Qingzhou City is high and thick, there are no dangerous places in Qingzhou, Jeju, and Yanzhou to guard and block the imperial army. Moreover, the imperial court has always adopted the strategy of strong cadres and weak branches. There were 800,000 in the Central Forbidden Army, and 100,000 in the Northwest Forbidden Army. Although the Liangshan army was well-trained, it did not have many soldiers, and even if there were three states, it could only meet the needs of twenty or thirty thousand soldiers and horses, and it had to divide troops to guard various places. When the time comes, the imperial court will send a large army to encircle and suppress, and we will not be able to take care of it, but we are afraid that we will be broken by the imperial court one by one, and there will be no place to bury us! ”

"The time, place and people are not on our side, and it is not the right time for the eldest brother to rebel at this time. I hope that big brother will think twice! ”

Shi Jin fell into deep thought when he heard Wu Yong's reason.

Although the field tax of the Great Song Dynasty is not light, the Great Song team attaches great importance to maritime trade. Trade taxes accounted for a large part of the imperial court's finances, so the dependence on land taxes was not as great as in the Ming Dynasty.

Unlike the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court's finances mainly relied on land tax, mining tax, and salt tax, and if there was a problem with one of these three, the Ming Dynasty's finances would have problems.

When there is a shortage of money, it can only increase the field tax and mining tax, and it was originally in the Xiaoice River period at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the harvest was not good.

If the land tax increases, coupled with the expropriation and expropriation of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, how can these peasants and ordinary people live?

Because of this, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng and others were defeated by officers and soldiers several times, but they were still able to make a comeback and easily pull up hundreds of thousands of troops, just because the people had no way to live, so they could only rebel!

Now the Great Song Dynasty has not increased the land endowment, although there are corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but they can still live.

At this time, it was impossible to rebel like in the late Ming Dynasty, and casually pull hundreds of thousands of people to rebel together.

Although the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty both emphasized literature over military force, they were fundamentally different.

What about the Ming Dynasty?

As a magistrate, there is no corruption, and it is difficult to eat meat for a month.

It is said that the Qingguan Hai Rui's mother's birthday, Hai Rui gritted her teeth and bought two catties of meat for her to celebrate, and was immediately reported to the central government as news by Jinyiwei.

It's so difficult to even eat a meal of meat in a county, but imagine how low the salaries of those officials in the Ming Dynasty were.

This caused a large number of corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty, and basically no one was not greedy. And greed is greedy, greed is the same, so why not be greedy.

It has also caused a vicious circle in which corrupt officials exploit the people even more, and the people cannot survive.

Unlike the Ming Dynasty, the Song Dynasty was really heavy on scribes, with a lot of various benefits, and it was really a high-ranking official.

According to the current conversion, as long as you become an official, you will have an annual salary of 100,000 yuan if you are not greedy or ink.

If it is above the ministerial level, it is a million annual salary.

With a high salary and good benefits, with such a good treatment, how could the officials of the Great Song Dynasty easily follow you as a bandit to rebel?

Who will manage the chassis without the help of scribes!

Do you rely on the rough guys under you?

Think about it or forget it.

How many of them can read words, but they don't even know a few words, and they are expected to know how to collect taxes, understand the law, do copywriting, accounting, read account books, and try cases?

There is no one to govern the territory, even if it is occupied, what is the use!

Not only will it not help, but it will even become a drag.

In that case, how can I go to the city with peace of mind?

The Qin Dynasty was able to dominate the world, in addition to Wu Anjun Bai Qi, Wang Jian and other talents who commanded the army, but also because of the help of governance talents such as Shang Ying and Li Si, the Qin State treasury was sufficient and could be used for the army.

Liu Bang was able to seize Jiangshan in the end, is Xiang Yu's military ability inferior to Liu Bang and inferior to Han Xin?

Liu Bang was defeated by Xiang Yu one after another, abandoned the army and fled by himself, and his parents were caught by Xiang Yu.

But in the end, Liu Bang was still able to pull up a large army to defeat Xiang Yu, and the civilian officials led by Xiao He ensured the logistics supply and gave Liu Bang the capital to make a comeback.

Zhu Yuanzhang's Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang and others are not talents who govern the country.

On the other hand, Li Zicheng!

I don't know how to govern, and I don't have the talent to govern the country!

Many people say that if Li Zicheng did not condone his subordinates to snatch Chen Yuanyuan, maybe the Qing Dynasty would not have had the opportunity to live in the Central Plains.

But in fact, even if Chen Yuanyuan was not captured at the beginning, Li Zicheng would not be able to seize the world.

Just look at what he's done since he entered the city.

Torture and plunder Ming officials, raid homes everywhere, and stipulate that the amount of subsidy is "100,000 in the middle hall, 70,000 or 530,000 in the Jingtang brocade clothes of the ministry, 53,000 in the Taoist department, 321,000 in the Hanlin, and thousands of subordinates and subordinates". ”

The terrifying atmosphere in the city gradually became solemn, and the people were panicked, "Whoever tortures hundreds of officials, most of them have tens of thousands of dollars, and they are forced to force twenty or thirty thousand, and the number is slightly dissatisfied, and then they are strictly compared, and they are extremely vicious and vicious, and they will never die".

Li Zicheng's subordinates looted, and the generals were arrogant, "killing people in vain, and most of the soldiers plundered the people's property."

The Dashun army set up officials to govern affairs in the occupied areas, and the first was to pursue salaries, such as in Chenggu County, "thieves demanded salaries and branded them with artillery"; In Fenyang, "search for rich rooms, truss clamp to help";

In Jiangzhou, "the scholars and doctors were brutally tortured to death";

In Xuanhua, "General Quan's levy on the gentry Benda, through the five woods, extremely miserable, cool for money"

If you govern a big country, you can cook a small fresh!

It is said that to govern the country, you must be patient.

Although there were many corrupt officials in the late Ming Dynasty, at least it could ensure that the entire national system would not collapse and fall into a state of disorder.

The normal and reasonable way is to severely punish some corrupt officials who have committed the most heinous crimes, eliminate public resentment, and accept most of the old officials.

Then, while strengthening governance, we will train officials and slowly replace the old ones.

When the new system established can support the operation of a country, then settle the score!

The Manchu Qing Dynasty inherited the old bureaucracy of the Ming Dynasty and stabilized the system, so that they could slowly eradicate various opposition forces and finally sit on the throne.

As soon as Li Zicheng conquered the Beijing Division, he had not even unified the world, so he couldn't wait to arrest and torture all the civil officials.

As a result, the entire state system was completely paralyzed, and there was nothing else except for grabbing tens of millions of taels of silver.

No one went to harvest grain and grass, no one to make armor, no one to settle the people and resume production.

There are none, there is no stable territory, there is no stable logistics support.

After Li Zicheng was defeated in Shanhaiguan, he was defeated again and again, and there was no day to turn over. Those tens of millions of taels of silver were finally cheaper than the Manchu Qing Dynasty!

The more Shi Jin thought about it, the more he felt that Wu Yong was reasonable.

When Li Zicheng is taken as a model, a civil official who has no one to govern, even if he captures the city by relying on military generals alone, he will not be able to defend it.

Now the degree of Song Huizong's defeat is not enough, and the people's determination to rebel is not enough. There are not many scribes to recruit, and there are few talents who know how to govern.

It's really not the time for an uprising!

Wu Yong persuaded himself to keep his light and keep his eyes open, and he must have thought of a countermeasure in his heart.

Shi Jin immediately stood up and arched his hand and said: "Since Mr. Jia Liang persuaded Shi Jin to keep his light and keep his eyes open, he must have a good plan in his heart, and please give me advice!" ”
