At this time, Song Tao also returned. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He laughed and said, "Haha...... What's the matter, these people just now made everyone disgusting. Or is he prescient, out of sight and out of mind. ”

Everyone listened to his words and described the scene just now to him, which gave Song Tao goosebumps. He didn't expect these people to be so unruly.

Of course, these gentry and bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty cannot be said to be uneducated and unskilled, and there are many famous ministers and good ministers in the past dynasties. But with the rise of Qingliu at the end of the Ming Dynasty, a group of Qingliu who only knew empty talk grasped the initiative of public opinion, and the Ming Dynasty began to talk nonsense.

Especially the Donglin Party, which controlled the government during the Chongzhen period, almost did not do a few things, and the slogan was shouted very loudly, and then there was endless party struggle, which made all parts of the Ming Dynasty chaotic and the world in danger.

In fact, Gu Xiancheng's initial purpose of establishing Donglin Academy was good, but with some so-called literati and gentlemen, they found that if they wanted to be big officials, they had to be Qingliu, and the best way to be Qingliu was to become the Donglin Party, and it was very simple to become the Donglin Party, that is, to shout the way of the sage, not the people of the Donglin Party, whether the way of governing the country was right or wrong, it was wrong.

Qiang Quan Sheng thought for a while and said: "Commander, aren't we in the Far East ready to liquidate the grassroots of the Ming gentry?" They are a bunch of moths and rats that have brought disaster to the country and the people, so don't we really take some measures? These guys are rich and rival the country, and they are all exploited from the common people in the world, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are vampires. ”

Song Tao came to his senses as soon as he heard this, and said anxiously: "Dude, my opinion is to completely liquidate them." When Li Zicheng entered Beijing, although his methods were extreme and tyrannical, he knocked out tens of millions of taels of silver from these people. We don't have to learn from Li Zicheng's brutality, just use some means on these guys, and we can also extract a lot of money and food from them. ”

Li Ming smiled and said: "Li Zicheng and they are a group of thieves, although the Dashun regime was established, they still can't change the essence of the thieves. Historically, Li Zicheng entered the city of Beijing, and soon after entering the city, Liu Zongmin was asked to "chase the stolen goods". Liu Zongmin is a farmer, he does not distinguish between green and red soap, and directly ordered: "To offer silver to the official, one product must be worth tens of thousands of silver, and the following must be worth thousands." Those who offer silver will be released immediately; Those who hide the silver and do not offer it will be punished and served. ”

Then thousands of sets of clamping sticks were prepared, and for a while, the sticks flew wildly, the cannon branded and picked the tendons, gouged out the eyes and cut the intestines, and it was simply everything. Chen Yan, the cabinet scholar just now, had tens of thousands of silver hidden in the ground of his home, and the courtyard was full of silver, and he was extremely miserable when he was cleaned up with a stick, and in the end, he could not escape the end of being killed. and the cabinet scholar Wei Zaode was even worse, he was tortured for six days and six nights, and finally his head was torn apart by the torture board, and his brain flowed out and he died. Not to mention that the family was killed, the female relatives of the family were also sent to the barracks **** to death by thieves. ”

When he said this, he sighed and said: "Of course, we in the Far East are not a thief regime that only knows how to destroy, and the first thing we should do after entering the Central Plains is to stabilize the situation in various places and pay close attention to production and construction of the country. Therefore, for the gentry class of the Ming Dynasty, we can only adopt the policy of boiling frogs in warm water, while appeasing their emotions, and at the same time carrying out local grassroots work to win over the vast number of people at the bottom.

As long as we have the support of the broad masses of the people, we will have the basis for the struggle against the Ming gentry class, and then gradually grasp the management power of the local grassroots and strip the power of the gentry and landlord class. For example, in the Far East, there is no saying that the gentry do not pay taxes, and the Far East's land policy is that the more land, the more taxes they pay. At that time, no matter how much wealth these Ming elites guarded, it would not be enough for them to squander, and they would have to be corrupted and cleaned up within a few generations. ”

Lin Hua listened to Li Ming's words, and nodded with deep sympathy: "I think this kind of policy is more prudent, at least in the early days of our Far East's entry into the Central Plains, it can minimize the resistance of the gentry bureaucracy and local traditional forces, and ensure social stability." A few years later, when we gradually gained a foothold in the Central Plains and won the support of the broad masses of the people at the bottom, the gentry bureaucracy and local traditional forces were the meat on our board, and we could knead it as much as we wanted. ”

Qiang Quan Sheng also agreed and said, "Hmm...... In this way, these moths and rats are bound to sit and eat the mountain, they have no ability to suck blood, no matter how big the family wealth is, they will also sit on the mountain, and the silver they exploit will be returned to the people sooner or later. ”

Song Tao still felt unwilling, he thought for a while and said: "That can't easily bypass them, at least those local tyrants and gentry who are in trouble in the township on weekdays, as well as landlords and bullies, we can't be soft." ”

Li Ming smiled and said: "In the early stage of our occupation of the Central Plains, we will rush to the policy of not expanding and not connecting with each other, and crack down on a group of local tyrants and shoddy gentry who are extremely angry with the people, mainly to deter the gentry in various places and let them know that we in the Far East are holding knives in our hands. It is also necessary to severely crack down on the underworld and evil forces in various places, sweep away those city foxes, social rats, and ruffians, and ruthlessly kill a number of them, but this is all, and they must not cause panic in society. ”

When Song Tao heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, and he laughed and said: "It's better to kill all the most heinous crimes, and then send those sins that don't lead to death to be sent overseas to work as coolies, or let them harm other peoples." ”

While they were chatting hotly, several cavalrymen of the Far Eastern Army ran over and reported a message to Li Ming. That is, the defenders of a gate of the Forbidden City of the Imperial Palace, who sent people out of the palace to contact the Far Eastern Army, hoping to open the city and surrender.

Li Ming said with a smile: "I was really said by Song Tao, it seems that the defenders of the Forbidden City really can't sit still, it's only been a while, and some people want to open the city gate and surrender." ”

As soon as his words fell, the troops came one after another to report, saying that the defenders of several other gates of the Forbidden City of the Imperial Palace also had the intention of surrendering, hoping to open the city to lure the Far Eastern Army into the city.

Faced with such a situation, everyone also smiled bitterly.

It seems that this group of people who are most loyal to Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty will not care if they are loyal or not at this time. What they care more about now is whether they can let themselves live, and they are not willing to bury the Ming Dynasty anymore.

Li Ming smiled, and then said in a deep voice: "Order the troops to contact the defenders in the palace as soon as possible, and strive to take the Ming Palace as soon as possible." Let's also go to the Daming Jinluan Palace, taste the taste of sitting on the dragon chair, if Chongzhen is still alive, let's have a good chat with him. ”

Everyone listened to Li Ming's words, and they all responded loudly with excitement.

"By the way, after the troops enter the Daming Palace, they must abide by military discipline. Take care of all kinds of facilities in the Forbidden City, and don't bully the eunuchs and maids in the palace. (To be continued.) )
