Jiang Chuan probably flipped through it, and there were about a dozen persuasion forms in his hand, most of which were from officials below the fourth grade, and most of them belonged to the inspectorate and the sixth department.

As for the content, it is conceivable that it is nothing more than that His Royal Highness the Prince Regent has made meritorious contributions to the people of Sheji, and can catch up with the ancient Mingjun sages. The Ji family has no virtue and is not qualified to sit on the emperor's seat anymore, so please ask His Royal Highness the regent to go further.

To put it bluntly, it is to persuade Jiang Chuan to abolish the emperor and do it himself.

This is actually the proper meaning, as early as when the Zheng family in the southeast surrendered and destroyed Li Zicheng, someone had already written to persuade him.

However, the time was not ripe at that time, and Jiang Chuan clearly refused at that time, so it was not done in the end.

The situation is very different. Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were destroyed one after another, and Shuzhou basically recovered most of the area, leaving only the southwestern Turen territory that was not officially under the imperial court.

As for the complete solution of the problem of the natives in the southwest, the imperial court has established a policy of changing the land and returning it to the stream, and it will have to be solved sooner or later.

When Zhang Xianzhong entered Shuzhou, he also had the idea of subduing the natives, but after the first few temptations, he also gave up. Most of the natives live in the mountains and forests, relying on the villages that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the roads into the villages are basically rugged and difficult, and it is extremely difficult for the army to enter and suppress.

These natives have lived here for generations, are familiar with the terrain, and walk between the mountains and forests as agile as a monkey. Under such circumstances, the Great Western Army, which was familiar with the war between the horse station and the plains, was often dizzy and collapsed.

Of course, the most fundamental reason is that Zhang Xianzhong has to divide his troops to garrison other state capitals, and it is impossible to send too many troops to attack the natives.

Seeing that he couldn't chew this bone for a while, he had to give up for the time being, leaving his hands free to deal with it later. As a result, I didn't wait for my hands to be freed, and I was cleaned up first.

Now that Shuzhou has been recovered by the imperial court, Di Qing has resettled the people and resumed production on the one hand, and at the same time sent troops to monitor these natives to prevent them from taking advantage of the opportunity to make trouble.

As a generation of famous generals, Di Qing knew that dealing with these natives needed to break their advantages, so he also recruited a lot of natives to be familiar with the situation of the natives, draw a map of the distribution of their villages, and do a good job of intelligence collection in the early stage.

In addition, soldiers were also recruited locally, and troops suitable for mountain warfare were formed and trained, preparing to cooperate with the imperial court's policy of changing the land and returning to the river to subdue these natives in one fell swoop.

There is basically no big problem in the southwest, the 150,000 troops of Fuso who attacked Korea were all wiped out, and the enemy chief Tokugawa Hidetada was also captured and escorted to the capital to be executed, which made Jiangchuan's prestige reach an unprecedented height, whether it was the government or the opposition, there was a voice of praise inside and outside the capital, everyone only knew the regent, but they forgot that there was an emperor who was imprisoned in the deep palace.

It can be said that the time is ripe for Jiang Chuan to become emperor, and the time and place are favorable.

Under such circumstances, it can be said that the officials collectively wrote letters to persuade them to advance, and they came into being.

So, Jiang Chuan didn't feel much surprised.

And although there are only a dozen copies this time, and most of them are written by middle- and lower-level officials, it is actually a kind of temptation and a kind of conventional procedure.

And according to historical practice, it is generally necessary to persuade three times. The persuaded person was humble, saying that I was not virtuous enough to inherit the great cause, and so on, and refused to go to the last two times.

The ministers did not give up and continued to persuade them, and the size of the number of people and the level of the officials who wrote the book will become higher and higher. By the third time, the persuaded finally reluctantly agreed, gave the ministers a face, reluctantly became the emperor, and said a hypocritical word such as if there is meritocracy in the future, I will abdicate and let Xianyunyun and so on.

In the past, Jiang Chuan felt that this kind of behavior was simply to be both a watch and a memorial arch, which was simply shameless.

But after so much, when sitting on the top of the mountain, my thoughts have changed, and I will no longer be as naïve as before.

Although he comes from a modern society and has a strong military force, it is not enough to change everything in this world, after all, manpower is sometimes poor.

Therefore, his current principle is to compromise with some traditional customs appropriately without harming the bottom line he has set.

Innovation is all step by step, imperceptibly, if you have to do it in one step, if you use radical means, it will definitely be the result of death and chaos.

This is an exception to both ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad.

Jiangchuan's reform of the official system, the reform of the currency, and the reform of the military system are actually already considered to be actions against the sky. If it weren't for the fact that he had a strong army, and that power didn't come from the support of those powerful families, he would have been overthrown.

Since ancient times, many emperors and kings have not been unable to see the various shortcomings that exist, nor have they not wanted to get rid of such evils, but they have been powerless and constrained many times.

The main and fundamental reason is that their power and position come from the great families who supported his ascension to the throne of God.

With this kind of bond, once reform is necessary, it is easy to touch the interests of these great families, and it will inevitably provoke their opposition, thus threatening their own throne.

Therefore, except for those emperors and kings who have built the country with their own hands, they have strong prestige to promote large-scale reforms, and most of the descendants of future generations will not be able to do so.

The rice has to be eaten one bite at a time, and the road has to be walked step by step, Jiang Chuan now understands this truth more and more.

Reform is a long-term process and a major project involving the interests of all quarters. As long as he is in office, reform will continue to advance and gradually take root in the hearts of the people. Finally, when the subjects and ordinary people have enjoyed the benefits of the reform, they will begin to support the reform from the bottom of their hearts. If anyone still wants to restore the old system, it must be the enemy of the world.

When the time comes, if Jiang Chuan doesn't have to do it, these people will all die without a corpse.

Without further ado.

Jiang Chuan looked at the persuasion book in his hand, and naturally understood this routine, and smiled at Liu Ji: "Military advisor, since there are rules, let's follow the rules." You will draw up a will for me, and publish it in the Di Bao and the Daming Daily. ”

Liu Ji understood, quickly understood what Jiang Chuan meant, and said with a smile: "Your Highness wants to ferment public opinion a little more, and by the way, see if there will be some restless people jumping out." ”

Jiang Chuan was stunned for a moment, and laughed and said: "Those who know me are also military advisors." Sooner or later, this seat will be mine, and since this is the case, then I will sing this scene completely. By the way, let's see if there are any bugs and fleas, and by the way, I sent them all away. ”
