Chapter 162: Recalling the beginning and end of Zhao Xu's abdication
The internal use of the republican commemoration method is also the power of habit, 1099 A.D. is the republican 1940, and it is also the fourteenth year of the Great Song Dynasty, and the imprint of the Great Song Empire was completely erased in the 13th year of the Yuan You. The superpower that emerged in eastern Asia was the Chinese Empire, which was created by the Crossing Masses.
In the past, he could only mobilize resources in his sphere of influence with his hands and feet, but due to the conservatism and habits of the political axe of the Great Song Empire, many plans to cross the crowd were warned and hindered by overt or covert. The Travelers who have removed the stumbling blocks can finally mobilize the resources of the entire empire with the help of the new political axe system.
The destruction of Western Xia was not just a simple matter of eliminating an old enemy, politically, this action of the leaders of the crossing overthrew all the prestige and image of the Great Song Empire to the outside world. The whole of East Asia was shocked by this ploughing sweep, who led this operation? Obviously, it was not the imperial court of the Great Song Empire, but the powerful mercenaries and security team of the Chenji Group, thousands of cannons barely fired, and tens of thousands of cavalry surrounded Xingqing Mansion. The Annihilation War, which can be called a blitzkrieg in the era of cold weapons, broke the image of the Great Song Empire for a hundred years. A local power that far exceeds the central power? So what else is necessary for this central to exist? It tested the strength of all parties, clarified the attitude of all parties towards Chenji, and strengthened the determination of Chenji to overthrow the Zhao court in a coup d'état. Solve all the problems with one stone.
The throne that was originally usurped naturally has nothing in line with the Taoist system, what is the Taoist system? It is the set of social core values established by Confucianism that read Buddhism and Taoism. If you don't implement the political axe of the inner saint and the outer king, it is not a good political axe, and this kind of political axe should be destroyed by the five virtues.
What is the inner saint and the outer king? The inner sage is to realize the well-off society of Mencius, and the confessor does not bear the weight of the Tao, 70 can be clothed in fine clothes and eat meat. The foreign king is to maintain the international tributary system and the peaceful environment for all nations.
Did Da Song do it? No! The reason why there have been no local peasant uprisings in the past 10 years is not that the displaced people in the affected areas have been recruited into the box soldiers or the forbidden army, but that they have built water conservancy projects and developed the economy through a large number of industries and businesses, and absorbed a large number of laborers. Under the arrangement of crossing the public, public opinion slowly reduced the frequency of the Zhao family, and vigorously advocated the project of benefiting the people promoted by the Chenji Group that the masses could see and touch.
Since the internal line had long been arranged to promote the Great Song Empire to collect more heavy taxes to maintain the huge military system of Yuyi during the reform of the tax law, the people had long complained about the Great Song Dynasty. The little emperor, who was immersed in the peaceful and prosperous era of Yuda Fengheng, naturally couldn't hear these voices, and the empress dowager also died. The result of introducing the devil of turnover tax into the Great Song Dynasty was that the fiscal year was growing at a rate of 20%, which naturally had a large number of corrupt officials cheering and cheering.
Internally, land annexation is not inhibited, a large number of yeoman farmers have long become customers (tenant farmers), officials have more and more land, agricultural taxes are declining, and industry and commerce are bearing more and more tax burdens. Although there have been many victories and few defeats since the founding of the People's Republic of China, it has not been able to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, which is equivalent to standing still and has no achievements. did not hesitate to seek peace with Liaoxia and pay compensation and call him brothers, and greatly lost the majesty of the image of the Heavenly Empire. The Song court lost the Taoist system, so what about the legal system?
What is the legal last name? It is the set of other social units that have reached the lowest limit of their identification with the existence of a certain organization. If foreign forces agree with you, you have a legal surname, and if all or most people in the territory do not object, you also have a legal surname. What is Law? It is the social rules set by people. Legitimacy means that the behavior of an individual or organization conforms to these social rules set by people.
As for who makes the law, it depends on who has more resources. The slave society is the military aristocracy transformed by the chieftain of the tribal alliance or the religious aristocracy transformed by the sorcerer as the legislator, the feudal society is the monarch and the military large landlords and aristocrats, and the imperial society is the emperor and the **. In modern times, when capital speaks, it is the industrial and commercial aristocracy or big capitalists who occupy most of the resources.
Obviously, the Crossing Masses now have far more resources than the imperial court of the Great Song Empire, and are already trust oligarchs that monopolize many industries, and their partners and the big businessmen and big landowners who depend on them for food cover almost the entire East Asian region. The army is almost the most effective Northwest Army of the Great Song Empire, and the subsidiaries in the northwest of the Chenji Group wear a pair of pants, and the box army and garrison troops in other places are basically bought. The forbidden army, which disdained to mix sand, was almost nothing more than armed civilians without combat effectiveness, and a bloodless coup d'état would be enough to solve the problem.
Military problems are best solved, and whoever has the biggest fist is the boss.
Not to mention economically, the main board of the earth that swore to defend Zhao Song was counted on their fingers, and they were powerless to resist in the face of the fact that the Zhao family took the initiative to abdicate.
The disbanded forbidden army was all included in the civilian register, and all the military expenses saved were used as immigration expenses. In the second year of the Chinese Empire, financial support was provided to the families of the forbidden soldiers who had emigrated to other northern cities to pursue new occupations, and most of these young and strong laborers were incorporated into the local construction corps of the new garrison to engage in various infrastructure projects or political axe projects. Naturally, the subsequent fiscal deficits were reversed by the huge surpluses generated by the drastic reduction of the armed forces.
The traversal who grasped public opinion basically did not care, and the nostalgia of those remnants of the previous dynasty for the Great Song Dynasty would have an impact on their follow-up actions. Zhang Dian and other senior consultants who had long since retired lost all their influence, and could only stay at home to support the elderly, and the Su family, which had the best relationship and the most successful public relations, also completely cut off the idea of entering the career of their children and became one of the emerging giants in the cultural industry. All the high-level blood has been changed, and the grass-roots level has long been controlled by the technocrats who are students arranged by themselves, and the political situation has basically not fluctuated at all. Anyone who wants to fish in troubled waters is watched and doesn't dare to move.
The original complicated Zongshe Party and noble relatives have basically become minority shareholders of Chenji's subsidiaries in various places, and they can get much more income every year than in the past, so naturally it doesn't matter the emperor's surname.
Since there was no one to oppose the abdication except for the royal family and the emperor himself, as well as members of the harem who were extremely close. Then the little emperor who was set up had no choice but to accept the terms of abdication and leave the throne.
Originally, there were many royal industries, although the finances went bankrupt in the conspiracy of the public, and even the small treasury such as the encapsulated treasury with the emperor himself also lost all the money in the treasury bonds issued by the guarantee (the financially strong Zhao Song had to borrow new debts for old debts in the growing deficit, and the annual treasury bond issuance had to be endorsed and guaranteed by the emperor, in the 13th year of Yuan You, the finances of the Great Song Empire went bankrupt, and the national bonds plummeted, and the market value of these treasury bonds fell to 20% of the issue price or face value, and the treasury of the Great Song Dynasty could fall rats, on the books, All the political axe warehouses are insolvent at a discounted price plus assets such as state-owned facilities and land. In desperation, the emperor had no choice but to announce that he would assume unlimited guarantee liability and auction off all the property of the imperial family to redeem these waste paper-like treasury bonds. )
Li Ji recalled all the various deployments and things before the establishment of the Chinese Empire, straightened out his thinking and next step, transferred the five proud protégés who had settled down to the south, and gave five people rewards ranging from earls to marquis for meritorious deeds, and sent these five guys to the four countries of Da Viet, Champang, Angkor, and Sri Buddha in Southeast Asia. The second child built a forward base for immigrants in Champa (South Vietnam), collected all the Chinese and displaced people on the Indochina Peninsula, organized and trained them, and transported them to various colonies and newly opened plantations. In the Kingdom of Angkor (Thailand plus Laos and Cambodia), he collected resources and conscripted troops, harvested tropical hardwoods and various agricultural and sideline products, and supplied arms and warships to all the countries of Indochina. The fourth Zhao Long built order on both sides of the strait in the Strait of Malacca, where Sri Buddha died (Malaysia and western Indonesia). In order to collect information and charts of the large and small Sunda Islands, Zhang Bo worked part-time in the excavation and investigation of Buddhist sites. (To be continued.) )
