Chapter 714: Traitor Flattery

Most of the people who came to persuade the king to surrender were the remnants of the destroyed countries in Southeast Asia, and the strength of several countries was far stronger than that of the Lancang Kingdom.

The only remaining kingdom of Indochina chose jade shattering or tile whole?

The king was extremely discouraged, and the generals of the kingdom had no fighting spirit and tried their best to persuade the king to give up resistance and return to the "Southern Ming" as soon as possible.

Many civil officials also pleaded with the king to make a decision as soon as possible, because if it was delayed, civil strife might break out in the kingdom due to food shortages, and the mob would bear the brunt of the robbery of the princes and nobles, and the consequences would be unimaginable.......

In the spring of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, the Lancang Kingdom, which knew the current affairs, surrendered without a fight, and forced Tishan to become a "Southern Ming" to return to Shunbo, and the treatment was the same as An Lebo, and he was allowed to settle down in "New Hangzhou".

So far, the Indochina Peninsula has all been pocketed, and it will become a land that the Han people will never give up.

The countries of Guangnan and Lancang took the initiative to submit to the country, and it was not suitable for the military and civilians of these two countries to adopt a serfdom policy, but they should not be allowed to feel that they had changed their day.

Next, the Shun people of these two countries were scattered throughout Indochina and the Malay Peninsula under the temptation of giving them five acres of land for private property, and the seized houses were allocated to them.

Of course, there are still some differences between the Shunmin and the Han people, at least the five acres of land that are given to them as private property need to pay imperial grain, not the complete tax exemption like the Han immigrants.

It is easier to break up the obedient people of the surrendered country, because the Southeast Asian countries are poor, and the life of the small people is far less than that of the Ming people.

These grassroots people are basically destitute and have no belongings, and the thatched huts they live in are not worth a few dollars.

In their hometown, they farmed for the landlords, and after the immigrants came out, they became farmers for themselves, of course, there was no resistance.

Therefore, the peasants and serfs of different nationalities at the bottom of Wanghua and Sinicization did twice the result with half the effort, and after learning that they studied Chinese and Chinese characters well and passed the selection to become a baochang, they could get an extra five acres of land and tax exemption, and people who participated in night school study abounded.

Soon the Shunmin found that their lives were much better than those of the slaves, and everyone had a sense of superiority, and they immediately positioned themselves as the main nation, speaking Chinese as correctly as possible, for fear that others would hear that they belonged to the pseudo-Han people.

Regardless of whether it is passive or active, ethnic integration must be carried out, the original system of the entire Indochina Peninsula has been broken, armed Han people have appeared in every fertile land, and the responsibility system at the level of Bao, Jia, Li, Ting, township, county, prefecture, and government has made the "Nanming" government like an arm.

Huang Sheng was already thinking about upgrading the management system, because it was obvious that it was out of place to use the government as the largest local administrative body, and it was time to divide the provinces.

————

In the first month of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty entered Hong Chengchou as the secretary of the military department and the right deputy governor of the imperial history of Ji and Liao military affairs, and at this time Hong Chengchou's power and Yuan Chonghuan had a fight.

The rebellion in the interior seems to have subsided, and the Liao affair is not too bad, and the emperor has high hopes for Hong Chengchou, the first hero of the Ming Dynasty's suppression of the Kou, and expects him to train a strong army to pacify Liaodong.

Soldiers training must need food and salary, but how can the imperial court's finances make ends meet to support Hong Chengchou and Fangdi battalion training?

So far, Liao, Xuan, and Lian Salary are collectively called the "three salaries", which has exacerbated the burden on farmers and become one of the banes of the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, the total amount of "three salaries" is only nine centimeters of silver, which is converted into grain, but only a dozen catties of rice are paid more than one acre of land, and it is not the cause of the fall of the Ming Dynasty, and some scholars think so.

In fact, otherwise, the state's "three salaries" will require more than a dozen catties of rice, which is the number of deposits, and if this condition is met, the local increase will not be less than double, and the cost of the government, the loss of storage, and the greed for ink at all levels are all paid by the peasants.

In this era, the yield per mu was extremely low, and less than 260 catties of wheat could be harvested in a good year for one mu of land in the north, and the additional field tax would exceed 10 percent and close to 20 percent.

If the production is reduced due to the disaster, where can the people get a little income from farming?

Are farmers stupid if they have no income from farming and no food rations? Who will sit and wait to die?

The trend of a large number of yeoman farmers going bankrupt and fleeing has begun to spread again, and the results of the crackdown have come to naught.

In the final analysis, Chongzhen can't govern the country, he can't squeeze oil and water out of the hands of vested interests, and he will only stupidly ask for taxes from Tianmu and Dingkou.

However, there are not many acres of land that the imperial court can collect taxes on, and too many acres of land are concentrated in the hands of princes, nobles, and scholars, so the richest people in the Ming Dynasty do not have to pay taxes.

Huang Sheng also owned millions of acres of fertile land in Yongping Mansion, and no court official dared to collect taxes, but Huang Sheng did not transport the grain obtained from Tuntian out of the Ming Dynasty, but also transported grain to help the suffering.

It is also because there are a large number of tuntians of Huang Sheng in Yongping Mansion and the Liaoxi Corridor, that the soldiers and civilians under the command of He Kegang and Chengda, who stayed in Liaodong, were able to eat their stomachs, and the reserve of military rations in Liaodong became possible.

Hong Chengchou, who was supported by money and food, lived up to expectations, and the integration of the army led by the general army to train soldiers was indeed fruitful, and the Ming Dynasty in the twelfth year of Chongzhen had a hint of prosperity, but unfortunately this was actually a return to the light.

The burden on the peasants intensified, the corruption of officials intensified, and the natural conditions were particularly bad.

In the autumn of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, in the imperial study of the Manchu "Xinjing", a group of traitors were flattering, and a big fat man was very happy.

Zhang Wenheng, deputy director of the Manchu Secretarial Academy, reported: "Your Majesty, Huang Sheng, the king of the 'Southern Ming', traveled thousands of miles to Yunnan to expand the land, and tens of thousands of 'god-killing' men and horses of the Ming Kingdom have gone south to proclaim three proclamations and six comforts, and it took more than half a year to assemble and mobilize troops and horses alone. ”

Ning Wan said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has obtained the latest report from the south, and the 'killing god' has lofty ambitions and intends to seize the territories of many countries in the south, and he wants to conquer the great mountains and rivers between Yunnan and 'Nanhua Island' in the Ming Dynasty. ”

Bao Chengxian said: "The courage of the king of the south is commendable, but unfortunately he is too arrogant, the minister has read history books since he was a child, and he can't talk about it throughout the ancient and modern times, and he is not talking about himself by reading the history of the Ming Dynasty."

In the heyday of the Ming Kingdom, it was not completely possible to make the three Xuan and six comforts for a long time, and the king of the south went south to attack with his own strength, that area was much larger than Liaodong, with a population of tens of millions, I am afraid that the war was about to be protracted, and it was unknown whether the southbound 'god-killing' people and horses could retreat with their whole body. ”
