Ling Chi Shang Geng Erfan, the east of Guangzhou can be described as an empty alley. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The scene is so enthusiastic, Chen Wen has not seen it, and it can even be said that he has seen it too many times.

In the sixth year of Yongli, when Chen Wen returned to the army to quell the rebellion, he brutalized the local Jinhua general soldiers and horses in Jinhua Mansion City for many years; In the eighth year of Yongli, Yu Guangxin Mansion also dealt with the traitor Hong Chengchou and his subordinates with the punishment of Ling Chi; In today's Yongli 10th year, he once again sacrificed this torture under the city of Guangzhou, and the object of punishment was the two feudal clans of Pingnan and Jingnan, which had caused a series of massacres.

It happens every other year, and it's the same every time. At first glance, it seems that the word cruelty is full of words, but it is not Chen Wen who is really cruel, let alone the people who are so full of hatred that they want to drink his blood and eat his flesh. As a modern person, Chen Wen hated Ling Chi's punishment from the bottom of his bones, and those people, he had seen their kindness in Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Nanzhili, and every corner he had set foot in.

caused such a huge contrast, in fact, it is the karma of those traitors and evildoers who endured thousands of knives on stage!

Ma Jinbao participated in the Jinhua Massacre, robbed the people's property during the Jinhua Mansion, and even figured out the punishment of putting vinegar in the nose of the person upside down.

Hong Chengchou was the highest-ranking official in the Chongzhen period, and the impact was particularly bad. After entering the customs, he was the vanguard of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's suppression of the anti-Qing movement, appeased the southeast, and later, whether it was the southwest of the history or the southeast of the Jinglu here, Hong Chengchou made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty, and the first contribution to the Qing Dynasty, which was well deserved.

And Shang Geng's second domain, born in the Dongjiang Army, failed to die in the Liaodong battlefield like most Dongjiang generals, but was a tiger fighter, especially Shang Kexi, his father Shang Xueli was a martyr, and his people were able to take the initiative to throw themselves into the arms of the enemy who killed their father, and then the Guangzhou Massacre, his disloyalty, filial piety, benevolence and injustice jumped on the history books. In the words of Mr. Gu Cheng, a famous historian of later generations: the massacre of Guangzhou, "Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao recorded a famous stroke in the history of the Qing Dynasty with the blood of Han compatriots." ”

In the face of such scum, just as Chen Wen said in the small courtyard of the Sun family at the foot of Dalan Mountain, the way of heaven is good, China has a reason to be extended, people's hearts are obedient, and all husbands will take revenge. Only the most severe punishment can comfort the souls of those who have died in vain!

After the memorial service was over, the integration of the newly occupied territories had begun. On the Fujian side, Chen Wenwen had the territory of three prefectures, and officials and garrisons were transferred from Zhejiang, and some of the garrisons accompanying him when he went on the expedition also stayed there, which could always stabilize the situation there. On the Guangdong side, Chaozhou, Huizhou, and Shaozhou can start with it, and Guangzhou is also going well, and even Zhaoqing Mansion, Luodingzhou, and even Gao Lian Lei Qiong are only a matter of time, the messenger has already returned to Jiangxi, and the personnel have already been prepared, just waiting for the news of Chen Wen's recovery of Guangdong to arrive and set off.

According to reports and feedback from the Military Intelligence Department and people from Fujian and Guangdong, the overall situation in these two provinces is rather complicated.

The maritime trade on the Fujian side was completely controlled by the Zheng family, and the right of passage of the Fujian Sea channel was in their hands, and those who wanted to pass through either took the waterway near Penghu and Taiwan to face the Dutch, or paid the money in a proper manner. As for the inland prefectures and counties, they are nothing more than the exploitation and plundering of the Qing army under Liu Qingtai and the former Pingnan Wangfu, there are tricks, but it also means that, there is nothing too new.

In contrast, the situation in Guangdong is a little different. It is true that Zheng Chenggong's sailors crisscross the southeast coast, but the strength of Guangdong, like Zhejiang, is far from being comparable to Fujian. If it weren't for the massacre a few years ago, Chen Wen would not have seen the Guangzhou it is now. In addition, there were also the Portuguese in Macao and the Ming army, rebels and pirates from all walks of life along the coast, and the situation in Guangdong was far more complicated than that of the Min Sea, which was dominated by the Zheng Group.

"Shang thieves occupied land in a province of Guangdong to establish Wangzhuang, control rivers, lakes and coastal fisheries, and organize head offices to manipulate the province's market trade. As for the seizure of private houses, false accusations of theft, extortion of huge sums of money, and imposition of additional taxes, the list goes on. According to the account books provided by Mr. Jin, the annual income of the thieves is more than 1 million taels of silver. ”

Just as Geng Jimao was powerful in Fujian, and our Qing Dynasty was staking in the north, Hangzhou's business debts were notorious, and Shang Kexi was the same in Guangdong. Plundering was the nature of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which was the case from the beginning of Liaodong, and also after entering the customs, and even at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the stock market and foreign exchange market were manipulated to rob the people and help the "public".

Of course, once he thought of Pu Yi's famous saying: "'I don't care how many people the Japanese killed in the northeast, how much grain and coal they transported, as long as I am not allowed to be the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, I will not be willing," Chen Wen was completely speechless-since the descendants of Shunzhi and Kangxi could even do the so-called "land of the ancestors of Longxing outside the Guanwai" that they kept saying about it, then there was nothing abnormal in the Guannai.

"More than a million taels?"

"Returning to the king, it varies from year to year, and it will decline after eight years of Yongli, but there are still millions."

One year is this number, Geng Jimao from the capture of Guangzhou in the fourth year of Yongli, to the sixth year of Yongli was forced to move to Fujian in advance, and he stayed in Fujian for four years and only one million taels of silver. In comparison, Shang Kexi can be said to be in paradise in Guangdong. What's even more terrifying is that this figure is only the local income of the Pingnan Palace, and there is also the money and grain delivered by the Manchu Qing every year, which was always there until Chen Wen defeated Hong Chengchou in the eighth year of Yongli.

"The golden bottle of wine is the blood of thousands of people, and the jade plate is delicacies and the surname is ointment. When the candle tears fall, the people cry, and the singing is high. ”

Yesterday, when he went to the Pingnan Palace, he inspected the liquidation of the palace's property, and Chen Wen couldn't help but read this poem when he looked at the dazzling array of jewels and jade, gold, silver, calligraphy and paintings, and those luxury goods that had no value standards at all.

"No wonder the land of one province is not worthy of two feudal lords, and the two thieves are not as good as those vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty. Some of the vassal kings are watching, and they still have to be more restrained, which province in Shanxi, Henan, Huguang, Shanxi and other places is not a bunch of feudal kings, especially Huguang and Henan, as many as nine princes are in the domain, and they have not seen as fierce as Shang Geng's two domains. ”

None of the civil and military officials present dared to answer these words. Chen Wen didn't say anything to the vassal king of the Ming court, and now he himself is also a prince, especially when Chen Wen has just resisted the decree, no one dares to talk nonsense at this time.

Others don't dare to say it, it doesn't mean that Jinguang doesn't dare. He is a meritorious person, and his family is related to the Ming Army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and more importantly, he is not a Wenchen promoted by the Ming court, and now he has switched to Chen Wenmu, which is also very different from others.

"Now that Huaxia will die in the Tartars, if it weren't for the king's efforts to turn the tide, the students would not have had the opportunity to change into this Han family dress in their lives."

Expressing his stance on Chen Wen's position, Jin Guang went on to say: "In my early years, students traveled all over the world and saw too many injustices everywhere. The government exploited the government, the gentry oppressed, and the royal palace was even more rampant, and the courtiers, eunuchs and even Jinyi guards wantonly interfered in the lucrative business, bullied and dominated the market, and it was also due to be a thief and a rebel. ”

In the last years of the dynasty, not no one saw this, and even in the middle of the dynasty, there were people of insight who saw the existence of hidden worries and tried to eliminate them through reform, but the result was often either that they touched the vested interests and failed, resulting in the death of the clan, or the reform caused greater and more problems and accelerated the destruction of the dynasty.

Since ancient times, there have been countless failures, and there have been many results but people have died in government, Wang Anshi and Zhang Juzheng are examples, and those who accelerated the destruction of the dynasty, not to mention anything else, how Li Zicheng jumped out is a very simple example. After all the calculations, it is probably that the Qin State reform was really successful, and created the terrible tyrannical Qin, but Shang Ying did not end up well, so any improvement is highly dangerous.

"The students heard in Guangdong that the king had rectified the palaces, health offices and government offices at all levels in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which was very effective. Military merit conferred land, the separation of justice and administration, the reintegration of the royal palace and the health industry, and the strength of the royal division of Jiangsu and Zhejiang was by no means only in siege and field warfare. ”

The Ming Army of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is already completely different from the old Ming Army, and the administrative organization of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions is also different from that of other regions, but under the new policy, it has radiated a more vigorous force, which is also the foundation of the strong Ming Army of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

However, some of them, including Chen Wen, are deep in thought. The reform touched vested interest groups, and the palaces, guards, and gentry that Chen Wen had offended over the years were simply innumerable. Correspondingly, the continuous expansion of the Guard and the establishment of the Inspectorate are the most unmistakable manifestations of this.

It's the time of the war, and everything is for the purpose of serving the war, and many things can still make sense, even if it is not a big deal to disrespect the general in the name of disobeying the military orders abroad. However, once the world is at peace, and the interests of so many parties are touched, the political struggle will only become more brutal.

What Mr. Jin saw was true, the effect of the new deal was very good, the army's desire to fight was also very high, and the army waved the Northern Expedition to recover the old land of the Han family is no longer a luxury. This king only says one sentence here, you are easy to do, don't worry about not being rich. ”

Chen Wen's words are ambiguous, and each person has their own understanding. There are some things that Chen Wen hasn't completely figured out, let alone what to prepare. It's just that after resisting the decree, people who are inevitably worried about it are inside, and instead of waiting for them to ferment on their own and delay the progress of the work, Chen Wen still chose to put it down for the time being.

The army attacked in all directions, and it did not take long for Hou Guoyuan to recover the three counties of Lianshan in the north, thus realizing the confrontation between the north of Guangzhou, Shaozhou and southern Jiangxi and the south of Huguang; Zhang Zisheng went south to Guangzhou, southern Zhaoqing and Gaolian Leiqiong, and made rapid progress, but the road was too far away, and he was not able to reap his achievements for a while; On Ma Xin's side, the army went all the way to the west, Zhaoqing Mansion and Luoding Prefecture were not a problem, and Wuzhou was just around the corner.

Guangdong Province is about to be fully recovered, and Chen Wen's policy towards the newly occupied areas is still the same as the old-fashioned. After the big loans, the royal government, the government, and the green camp exploited the gentry and the common people; Guangdong and Fujian did not have a royal palace, only Shaozhou used to have a Huai king there for a few years, and was soon moved to Jiangxi; As for the health centers, the coastal areas of Fujian and Guangdong provinces are mostly coastal guard centers, and there are certain rules for rectification, which do not need to be mentioned.

In terms of administration and justice, it is easy to say that the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Ming armies are dependent on a relatively mature civilian-bureaucratic group, and even symbiotic, and they all have certain rules, and as long as the organization is established, they can carry out governance.

Only in terms of tax revenue, Chen Wen is not Shang Kexi, Shang Kexi, he will definitely spit out a lot of more than one million taels of silver every year, and return to the state of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. However, the goods of the filial piety courtyard of the monks of the Pingnan Royal Mansion really made Chen Wen a fortune, and took out some of it to restore the people's livelihood in Guangdong, and the rest could be stored in the treasury in order to deal with the problem of economic structural transformation on the ground in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Of course, some of them may still be in Guangdong, not to restore the people's livelihood, but to appease and buy those civil and military officials of the Yongli court in Guangzhou.

This was the biggest problem after the recovery of Guangdong, so it was also owned by the Yongli court for a long time, and it did not completely fall into the hands of the Manchus. For these civil and military officials, it is impossible for Chen Wen to treat those Qing court officials like he treated, and he always has to take into account the face of both the court and the Yue Wangfu.

Governor Guo Zhiqi, Liangguang Governor Lian Chengbi, Governor of the Four Prefectures Zhang Xiaoqi and other senior civil officials, Chen Wen denounced them as incompetent ministers in front of the edict envoys. Impeachment is inevitable, Shang Kexi had put them under house arrest before, and Chen Wen did not intend to let them change places, lest they cause chaos in the next work of integrating the two Guangming armies.

In the troubled times, civil officials are easy to bully, and military generals have soldiers in their hands, but they are the king of grass. Speaking of which, fighting a war is the least worrying thing for Chen Wen now, but the two Guangming armies mostly rely on mountains and rivers to defend the country, and it is not in the interests of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming armies to delay here for too long. In particular, delaying the follow-up plan is more than worth the loss.

For this reason, Chen Wen decided to test Chen Qice and Li Changrong first, they were the allies in the siege of Guangzhou, assisted in conquering Dongguan and Zengcheng counties, and also controlled the Pearl River waterway during Chen Wen's attack on Guangzhou.

"General Ling Hai and Li Shuai are both good generals of the navy, and this king intends to rebuild the Guangdong Navy Division and name it the South China Sea Fleet directly under the navy, I wonder if the two are willing to condescend?"
