"My kindness is regarded by them as weakness and can be bullied, since this is the case, he is unjust, and he does not blame me for being unkind."

Liu Jun sat in the military conference hall of the yamen of the military aircraft department and announced loudly.

The generals were full of excitement when they heard the news, and the ministers were very calm. Liu Chenggong asked the staff officers to mark the fish that are now biting the hook on the sand table.

Except for Gyeonggi, which did not plant a blue flag, the other provinces all had blue flags. Some provinces have only one or two, while others are already full of blue flags, and none of the red flags representing the Han Empire can be seen.

The largest blue flag is planted in Luoyang, Henan, the center of the world.

In addition, Datong and Taiyuan in Shanxi, Henan, Jiangbei, Jiangnan, Fujian, Zhejiang, Liangguang and even Hainan and Hunan in Shandong also have blue flags.

However, the places with the most blue flags are still in Yunnan, Guizhou, Shaanxi and Gansu.

Seeing these flags, the civil and military officials who attended the meeting of the Military Aircraft Department all understood that the current situation was not good. As soon as Luoyang was restored, the Ming Dynasty clans all over the world, as well as the eunuchs of Zhishi, as well as the local gentry, responded to the rebellion.

In this tide, there are many more eye-catching places, such as Yunnan and the nobles, Sichuan, Guangxi, Hainan, Shaanxi, Gansu and other places of Tusi, Tu, Miao, Li and other places have taken the opportunity to raise flags.

However, everyone did not see panic and uneasiness on the emperor's face, only composure and a faint smile. It was a look of control.

Ni Yuanlu calmed down, and then looked at the big sand table, looked at the red and blue flags on it, and a large blackboard that the staff officers had just brought up, which was full of handwriting with chalk, and many numbers.

This is a detailed summary of military information, and each red and blue flag on the sand table represents a Han army and a rebel army. The number of both sides, the situation of equipment. Training status and so on, it's all on it.

Looking at these, Ni Yuanlu finally understood the meaning of the emperor's opening sentence.

This is indeed fishing, although there are many blue flags on the sand table, but if you look closely, you will find that although there are many soldiers, there are few soldiers and horses. The main force of the real rebellion was still some former bandits and thieves and the tribal people of the border areas.

The center of the anti-thieves, the small court in Luoyang, is in a bad situation. It was already surrounded by Han officers and soldiers.

Liu Jun was also looking at the sand table, shaking his head and saying, "I treat the clans of the previous dynasty and the officials of the previous dynasty, as well as the gentlemen and businessmen of this world, and even the toasts in this place, it can not be described as unkind and intolerant. But now it seems that I am still too merciful, so that they all regard it as weakness. ”

"But it's okay, since it's not a heart. Then there's no need to go down together. If there is a way in heaven that they do not take, then the gates of hell will be open to them. ”

"Luoyang is the opposite, I still want to give them time to think about it, hoping that they can get lost. As a result. They regarded my silence as a bully, and they jumped and ran one after another, and their ugliness was revealed. Look at the world, these people no longer know what reverence is. In that case, I will return the sword for my betrayal of them! ”

"All rebels. All are sinners of the empire, and cannot be forgiven. ”

When Liu Jun announced that the imperial court would exterminate all rebellions by force, unforgivable, and never appeased, many civil servants were wide-eyed.

Do they think I'll bargain with them at this time? Liu Jun sneered in his heart, for this rebellion, he would use the strongest means to quell it, and he would make an example of him.

"Order all the governors and governors to send their troops and horses at once, and quickly put an end to all rebellions. Those who rebel and refuse to surrender will be killed, and those who are captured or surrender will be confiscated and all their property will be confiscated. ”

For counterinsurgency, Liu Jun has a whole plan.

In the two new military regions of Guanwai and Saishang, there was no rebellion for the time being, and the governors and governors of the two places could strengthen supervision and vigilance.

Although there were rebellions in the Zhili, Central Plains, Sanjiang, Fujian, and Zhejiang military regions, the scale was still very small for the time being, and there were no rebel forces of any kind, and most of them were small forces and relatively scattered. Liu Jun asked the civil and military officials of these provinces to send troops to suppress and strengthen the defense.

"To suppress rebellion and quell chaos, the first thing is to demarcate the boundaries according to the military region, each to do a good job of defense within its own province, and prohibit the rebels from leaving the province and not allowing the rebels from other provinces to flow in. Each of them guards their own defense areas, and at the same time monitors the movements in their own provinces. ”

As for the Sichuan Lake and the Central Plains, Shaanxi-Gansu, Liangguang, and Yunnan-Guizhou Military Regions, where the rebels were quite in turmoil, Liu Jun asked the local civilian officials to strengthen the encirclement and suppression, and Liu Jun would also transfer elite troops to assist in the suppression.

In particular, the Central Plains, where the rebels are strong, and the three military regions of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Shaanxi-Gansu, each of which is highly retained, Liu Jun transferred elite troops to it. To the Central Plains, 50,000 people were transferred to a town to assist in the suppression, and Shaanxi, Gansu and Yunnangui each sent two integrated armies, each with 60,000 horses.

"First of all, we should take Luoyang." Fu Shan suggested to Liu Jun, "The minister suggested that the troops and horses should be concentrated to besiege Luoyang first, and after Luoyang was taken, the troops should be divided into three routes, all the way to Shaanxi and Gansu, all the way to Sichuan and Lake, and one Yungui." ”

"Luoyang is the center of the rebels, breaking through Luoyang and capturing Zhu Changxun and Li Zicheng will definitely achieve the effect of shocking the world."

Li Banghua raised a little concern, "In this way, the troops will be divided into multiple routes, and the troops will inevitably be weak, and the supply and other burdens will be extremely heavy." It is better to go from north to south, all the way to calm the past. In this way, the army will not have to worry about going south. ”

"Don't worry about food." Liu Jun said that the summer harvest has already begun in various places, and the army can solve the grain on the spot when it goes south. In addition, the General Administration of Grain has also built grain stations and granaries in various places, including large granaries at some important land and water wharves, in which a lot of grain is hoarded, which is originally for the needs of various localities and can be transferred at any time. Now to quell the chaos and war, these granaries are just in time to replenish.

However, Liu Jun has his own ideas about the route of suppressing bandits.

"I plan to divide my troops into three routes, and take warships along the coast to the south to pacify the rebels in Shandong, Sanjiang, Fujian, Zhejiang, Liangguang and other provinces. The other way was from Beijing to Shanxi, and then all the way south, and finally attacked Luoyang, and then entered Shaanxi, Gansu and Gansu to quell the chaos. The last way, from the canal to the south, along the Zhili, Henan, Jiangbei into the Yangtze River, and then up the river, into the Yangtze River along the two lakes, Sichuan.

In the end, the soldiers and horses on the East Road Sea entered Yunnan and Guizhou from Guangxi, and the Yangtze River on the Middle Road also entered Yunnan and Guizhou after quelling the Sichuan rebellion, and the soldiers and horses of the two roads were gathered.

In the end, this road in Shaanxi and Gansu, after pacifying Guanzhong, went all the way to the west, and finally hit Qinghai. ”

Liu Jun's plan is quite spoiled. The three-way army, composed of two integrated armies per route army, is full of 60,000 soldiers and horses. Liu Jun didn't even just go to those former Ming clans, he also took this opportunity to clean up those toasts.

After the soldiers and horses of these six towns suppressed the rebellion, they would be stationed in the southwest and northwest, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu, and each province would have an integrated army.

"In addition to these three counterinsurgency armies, the provincial garrisons and township armies are responsible for the defense of their own provinces. Zhang Shan and Cai Yuan, as well as Qi Guoyuan's Henan soldiers and horses, will serve as the general reserve army. ”

"Who is leading the Three-Way Army?" Zhang Guowei, the secretary of the military department, asked.

"Appointed Liu Yun, the governor of Liangguang, as the general of Zhendong. Commanded the soldiers and horses of the two towns of the Eastern Route Army, and was responsible for quelling the chaos in the southeast. ”

"Appoint Zheng Zhilong, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, as the general of Pingxi, command the soldiers and horses of the two towns on the West Road, and be responsible for quelling the chaos in the northwest."

"Appoint Qin Liangyu, the governor of Sichuan Lake, as the general of Dingnan, command the soldiers and horses of the two towns on the middle road, and be responsible for quelling the chaos in the southwest."

"Appoint Zhang Shan, the governor of Chuanhu, as the general of the Ping Thief, and appoint Cai Yuan, the governor of the Central Plains, as the general of Dangkou, and the commander of the headquarters to assist in quelling the chaos."

Except for Zhang Shan and Cai Yuan's reserve army, the other three governors led the two towns and soldiers. None of them were garrisons in the province, but were transferred south from Gyeonggi, and they were also the most elite troops of the Han Dynasty.

The garrisons, reserves, and township armies of all theaters and provinces are only responsible for the defense and peaceful chaos in their own theaters and provinces. The three elites led by the three governors are responsible for the encirclement and suppression across the war zone.

After a pause, Liu Jun suddenly announced a decision that seemed to have nothing to do with quelling the chaos.

"This year, the first imperial examination of the dynasty will be held, and the township examination will be brought forward to August. The examination will be held in Beijing in early December. Everyone can participate in this imperial examination, as long as they pass the county examination and government examination, they can participate in the township examination, and all those who have achieved meritorious service in the undergraduate program can participate in the township examination. As well as those who have achieved talent and fame in the past, they can participate in the provincial and township examinations. After the township examination, the selected people this time, as well as those who have made meritorious contributions in the past, can participate in the examination. ”

In the past, even if there was a talent and fame, not necessarily all of them could participate in the township examination, and they had to take a qualification examination before the township examination, and in the end, only a small number of people could be qualified to participate in the current examination, and the same was true for other examinations. And this time, Liu Jun let go of this restriction.

"However, those who have participated in the rebellion for three generations, those who have not completed the collection of debts, and those who have not completed the measurement of acres of land will be disqualified from this imperial examination."

The imperial examination is the only way to enter the official ranks, but now that Liu Jun is holding the imperial examination, he has added restrictions. For those who refuse to pay the tax arrears, refuse to make up the deficit in office, and refuse to report the hidden field, their qualifications for the imperial examination will be cancelled, and even if their own family has paid, but someone in the three generations has not made up the payment, they will also be disqualified.

In the end, Liu Jun announced another will, "From now on, we will abolish the famous and colored households, no longer divide the civilian households, military households, and artisan households, and no longer distinguish between official and gentry households and civilian households." All provinces should continue to conduct surveys and speed up the clearing of fields. ”

"All fields, houses, shops, vehicles, ships, etc., all those involved in the contract must go to the local yamen before the end of this year to complete the replacement of the new contract. Starting from next year, the property rights of the old contract will automatically become invalid, and if there is no replacement of the new contract, the land and houses will be unofficial. ”

Property, such as land, property, and house, must be confiscated if the contract is not exchanged. As for the replacement of the contract, the details of the situation are naturally in the hands of the government. In particular, the government will measure the amount of land in each region, and then ask the local landowner to exchange the land contract. In the end, as long as the number of acres of land after the exchange of deeds is paired with the total number of clearances, you will know whether there is anyone hiding the field and whether anyone has encroached on it, and it will be clear at a glance.

The most important point is that Liu Jun took the opportunity of exchanging the deed this time to levy deed tax, that is, stamp duty. The deed tax was also a tax that existed in the Tang and Song dynasties, but it was almost impossible to collect in the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Jun wants to borrow the deed of exchange to relevy this tax this time, and the contract of housing and land is 3%. In the future, when the house and land are sold and transferred, they must go to the government to register and sign the deed, otherwise it is a document without official certification and has no legal effect. All deeds that are officially registered and signed are subject to deed tax based on the registered transaction amount.

Aren't all these rich people going to rebel against me, so I don't have to be polite to you.

Dare to go against the imperial court, do you still think you are in the Ming Dynasty? In Dahan, either you must follow the law seriously, be a serious person, and pay taxes honestly. Either you can rebel, and then you will either be beheaded by the official army, or you will have to fill the army overseas or outside the country, and become an immigrant who expands the territory for the empire.

For the rebellious Zong clan, all of them were arrested and reinforced.

And those who haven't rebelled yet, Liu Jun doesn't plan to let them stay in the place anymore.

"Move all the former Ming clans to Tamna, Geoje, Tsushima and other islands, and properly resettle." Liu Jun decided unceremoniously, and with a word, he directly threw these former nobles to the Han concessions in Korea and Japan.

Throw it to these overseas islands far away from the Central Plains, and see how you still toss.

As for the property of these clansmen, it will be managed by the imperial court in the future, and of course, those they illegally occupy must first be liquidated.

Things have come to this point, and there is no need to leave them any more face. (To be continued.) )
