86_86695 "Today, time is too long. It is already difficult for us to figure out the specific details of the Wuchang incident that opened the countdown to the great life of the Ming Dynasty.

"I'm not a historical conspiracy theorist though. However, we have to admit that the occurrence of the Wuchang incident did objectively promote the development of the Fuxing Society. ”

"If you look at this history from an objective point of view. We can find that the Wuchang incident seems to have caused the Fuxing Society, which was originally entrenched in the Jingzhou area, to quickly spread to the entire Huguang region north of the Yangtze River in the following year or so. ”

"After the Wuchang Incident was quelled, not only the landlords and gentry in Wuchang Province disappeared without a trace in this riot. In the following two or three years, all the other landlords and gentry in the entire Huguang area north of the Yangtze River, except for a small number of landlords and gentry who had transformed into industry and commerce, were quickly eliminated by the Fuxing Society. ”

"The landlords and gentry were the basis of the rule of the Ming Dynasty. We have to say that the outbreak of the Wuchang Incident turned the entire Huguang region north of the Yangtze River into a non-Ming Dynasty sphere of influence in the political sense. This is what the Baath Party referred to in its later historical text, the revolutionary secession. ”

"It seems to me that it was ********, natural disasters and peasant uprisings that made the Baath Party complete. The Baath Party usurped power from the Ming Dynasty. ”

"It was after the beginning of the Renaissance Revolution that the Baathists continued to destroy and destroy Chinese culture, making China a morally degraded and culturally backward country."

"Yes, we are still the number one power in the world. Yes, China's territory still straddles two oceans and two states. However, the Baath Party has not been able to change its identity as a usurper and a destroyer of traditional culture. ”

Gu Dajun, the general soldier of Huguang, had a fairly smooth life. Speaking of which, the Gu family of Zhenyuan Marquis still has a deep relationship with Huguang.

Gu Cheng, Marquis of Zhenyuan, was one of the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty. Unlike many Hongwu nobles with heads like stones who opposed Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty, Gu Cheng honestly guarded Guizhou and observed the situation without saying a word when Zhu Di raised the banner of Fengtian Jingnan and competed with his nephew for the position of emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

After Zhu Di succeeded in becoming emperor, Gu Cheng immediately offered his loyalty to the new emperor Zhu Di. Gu Cheng was loved by Ming Chengzu Zhu Di because of the above table to ask for the crown prince. His knighthood has been preserved.

Counting from Gu Cheng, Gu Dajun can be regarded as the eighth generation of Gu Cheng's descendants. But unfortunately, he can't get the title of Marquis of Zhenyuan. Although he is also the direct son of the Marquis of Zhenyuan in the previous generation, he is the second son. He has an elder brother above him, who has already taken the title of Marquis of Zhenyuan during the Wanli period.

Gu Dajun, who could not be knighted and did not enjoy the same rest treatment as the Ming Dynasty and the country, had no intention of waiting for death in Beijing. He said that he moved his mother and elder brother, and used some of the connections in the family to get the position of a local chief military officer, although his status in the current political environment is not very high, and he is not an important position in the eyes of civil officials, but he is very rich.

The place of Huguang, compared to places like Jingshi Zhili, of course, belongs to the poor countryside. However, compared with the Sichuan region of Guizhou, where Tusi often caused chaos, compared with the remote and barbaric Liangguang region, and relative to the nine-sided region that had to face the invasion of barbarians. Huguang is a good place where there is more than enough to be less than the top, there is no military pressure, and you can make money with peace of mind.

We can't even say that Gu Dajun is a very greedy person. When he was in the general army of Huguang, he basically did not make any out-of-the-ordinary actions in his position.

The rules and systems left by the previous Huguang commander-in-chief, he all followed the honest Xiao rules. He will deduct as much as he should deduct from military salaries. He will leave as many "floats" as he should leave for the military headquarters and local civilian officials above. He will resell as much military rations as he should resell. For every official position, he sells as much silver as he should sell. He eats as much empty as he wants.

In Gu Dajun's own words, "I am such a rule-abiding person. There is no greater truth in the world than rules. ”

Obeying the rules is Gu Dajun's philosophy of life.

Gu Dajun's "character" has to be said to be relatively good. He's a man who walks the talk. He served as the general soldier of Huguang for nearly ten years. Gu Dajun really did "abide by the rules". Gu Dajun's reputation for abiding by the rules is not only famous within the military system. Even in the eyes of Huguang's civil officials, Gu Dajun is also the kind of rare "good" vulgar martial artist who is more sensible and very well-behaved.

Gu Dajun knew in his heart that in the environment of the Ming Dynasty, his identity as a noble and noble son was actually not very reliable. If you can't form a significant cooperative relationship with the civil service. He, the supreme commander of the Huguang armed forces in charge of the military of a province, actually did not want to live a happy day in the Huguang officialdom.

Therefore, whether it is deducting military salaries or eating empty quotas, the top and bottom of Huguang officialdom can get a response to share profits according to the size of their official positions.

It is Gu Dajun's sensibility and obedience that makes him mix up and down the Huguang officialdom like a fish in water.

In Gu Dajun's opinion, what he can rely on is not tens of thousands of soldiers like beggars. Officers at all levels, who are not bent on business and usury, have completely degenerated into landlords. It's not the Hou Ye brother who only knows how to spend time and drink every day in Beijing. The only things he can really rely on are the civil officials at all levels in Huguang who have formed an alliance of interests.

He believes that as long as the civil officials at all levels who are in charge of the vast power of the lake can recognize him and accept him. He, the general soldier of Huguang who was not taken into account by anyone, was able to live his money-making life smoothly and peacefully.

Even, in order to gain the approval of Huguang's civil officials, Gu Dajun not only actively echoed the scolding of Wei Zhongxian by Huguang's civil officials on many public occasions. He himself went into battle shirtless several times, and took the initiative to say a lot of things in front of Huguang civil officials, such as "the eunuchs are in power, and the people are not happy".

In fact, whether it was those Huguang civil officials who actively accepted him, or Gu Dajun himself, who scolded Wei Zhongxian as "Wei Rebellion", he didn't feel that the ups and downs in the officialdom of Beijing had anything to do with him.

Many of them know that the partners of Wei Zhongxian, who is now known as the so-called "eunuch party", are actually civilian officials from the same background as the Donglin party. They were just those civil and official gangs such as the "Chu Party" and the "Qi Party" who lost the political struggle against the Donglin Party from the middle and late Wanli period to the early years of the Apocalypse.

Gu Dajun is forty-two years old this year. After the year of not being confused, Gu Dajun felt that his outlook on life was moving towards "egg". Before the age of forty, he was keen to marry a young wife. After the age of forty, he felt that it was enough for him to have thirteen little wives. He changed his interest from marrying a little wife at home to increase his burden, to entertaining in the Qinglou, and not adding manpower to his huge and complicated harem.

Before the age of forty, he was keen to make money. He will eat 1,200 of the empty quota of a thousand people. If he can sell the rations of two thousand regular soldiers, he will sell two thousand four hundred. If someone asks, what if the regular soldiers are starved to death if they are not given rations? Gu Dajun's answer will be like what Yang Sichang, the military secretary of the future Chongzhen Dynasty, said to the people who have become homeless, "Since there is nothing to eat, it is good to starve to death."

However, after the age of forty, Gu Dajun will no longer say such ignorant words. With the compassionate expression of some cultured people, he would ask rhetorically: "Even if I send these military rations, won't the soldiers starve to death?" ”

Gu Dajun's rhetorical question was impossible to answer. The military salary of the Ming Dynasty, the process of transferring it from the Ministry of War to Gu Dajun's hands, needs to go through several departments.

First of all, it is the household department. If you calculate that a regular soldier will be paid one tael of silver, you will be given a month's salary of 10,000 taels to 10,000 regular soldiers. And when the silver came out of the treasury, it became seven thousand taels. This is not to say that the state treasury has not allocated you a full amount of military salaries, but that the officials of the household department themselves have to extract three layers of "floating" from this appropriation process.

After the silver left the household department, the silver had to pass through the yamen of the military department to the yamen of the governor of Huguang. After that, the silver had to pass through the yamen of the governor of Hubei to the yamen of the Huguang military preparation road. In the end, the Huguang soldiers prepared for the yamen, and the remaining silver was sent to the Huguang general army yamen.

In other words, the 10,000 taels of silver must go through the four procedures of the household department, the military department, the governor, and the military preparation road before it can reach the hands of Gu Dajun, the chief military officer of Huguang. Whether it is the household department, the military department, the governor's yamen or the military preparation road, these four yamen are all civilian yamen. The characteristic of the civil official yamen is called goose plucking. Each procedure results in three or four floors of "floating".

Taking the 10,000 taels of silver as an example, 10,000 taels has now become 7,000 taels. And then seven thousand taels became four thousand nine hundred taels. And then, four thousand nine hundred taels will become three thousand four hundred and thirty taels. And then three thousand four hundred and thirty taels will become two thousand four hundred taels. That is to say, when the salary of 10,000 people arrived in Gu Dajun's hands, it was only 2,400 taels.

Gu Dajun is a "hardworking" civil servant. Handling official documents, accepting bribes, giving gifts, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling and other official duties consumed a lot of time and energy from other people's parents. Of course, Master Gu should take out a certain amount of money from these two thousand four hundred taels to compensate for his "labor".

Of course, Master Gu is a person who pays attention to the rules, and people only took fifty percent of it.

The 10,000 taels of military salaries for 10,000 people, after being transferred from the treasury to Gu Dajun, there were only more than 1,000 taels left. And whether it is the Huguang military system, or any military system of the whole Ming Dynasty, from the general army of Zhengyipin to the most basic level of six products and hundreds of households, there are at least ten levels of military attachés. Can you imagine that 1,200 taels of silver, and then after the hands of the tenth-level military attaché, is it possible that there is still a trace left?

Otherwise, how could He Zuxian, the small flag official of the eighth grade, live just the life of a tenant farmer. Otherwise, how could it be that more than half a year has passed, and the soldiers in the entire Huguang area have not seen any food.

If someone says that Master Gu is a corrupt official, people will feel very aggrieved. Yes, Master Gu will say, "This is not from this time when I started, and this is not an act that started from my level." These are all rules that have been established at some point. As an official of the Ming Dynasty, if I want to survive in this environment, I must abide by this rule. ”

You see, in fact, no matter what era the corrupt officials are, they will say things with similar meanings. Some people say that this is due to institutional reasons, and some people say that it is a limitation of the times. But reality is reality. It is impossible to say how legitimate and noble the corrupt officials are because they have their own reasons and excuses.

In fact, the so-called eunuch party represented by Wei Zhongxian had a very simple means of attacking the Donglin party. It's not such a high-level means of framing and planting. As long as there is a tax audit, and an anti-corruption. These two alone, which are normal behaviors in any era, can put 99 percent of the "clean officials" of the Donglin Party in prison.

Although Gu Dajun was born in a wealthy township, his status is no worse than Jia Baoyu in "Dream of Red Mansions". The living environment is definitely much better than that of Han army banner slaves like Cao Xueqin, and it is much more upscale. However, Gu Dajun is not a wreck like Jia Baoyu. People are still very sober and very serious people.

Gu Dajun profoundly knew that the tens of thousands of people under his name had already lived a life of hunger and cold. If this kind of life continues, such a thing as rebellion and rebellion is bound to happen.

However, after all, Gu Dajun was born in the upper class. On the one hand, he knows that there are many dissatisfied people who can't get by. On the other hand, he also knew that there was not much need for him to be afraid. As long as he maintains five or six hundred strong soldiers, he will be able to fully suppress those poor soldiers.

There is no need for any clever modern sociologist to teach Gu Dajun. Gu Dajun himself can summarize such a truth from the experience of daily life. When the ruling class faces the ruled class, it will always be in the minority. However, the ruled class is an unorganized, loose existence, while the ruling class is an organized group with common interests and a common ideology.

Gu Dajun knew that there was no need for him to keep private soldiers who were larger than the soldiers in the entire Huguang region in captivity in order to maintain his rule. He knew that as long as he firmly grasped the five or six hundred family members in his hands, he could easily suppress all the soldiers who lacked organization.

For example, now, the thousands of people in the entire Wuchang Left Guard are obviously living the same life, but there are only seven people who dare to stand up and form a gang to rob the grain truck. Gu Dajun didn't need to be stronger than a few thousand people. As long as he was stronger than these seven soldiers who dared to resist, it was enough.

We can't help but say that "meat eaters" are really quite "despicable".

The feudal rulers always seem to be in a situation where they don't feel bad about eating a hundred beans. They knew very well that the traditional methods of feudal rule would fail when class contradictions intensified. But they never learn their lesson.

More than 2,000 years ago, in the era of the Zhou Dynasty, there was a "national rebellion". During the Qin Dynasty, there was the "Chen Sheng Wu Guang Uprising". The Western Han Dynasty had the "Green Forest Red Eyebrow Uprising", the Eastern Han Dynasty had the "Yellow Turban Uprising", and the following dynasties and dynasties all had the same factors in the various factors that led to the demise of the Zì Dynasty.

Just when Gu Dajun was still immersed in the illusion that he was "in control", an armed uprising that did not exist in this time and space was brewing in Wuchang Mansion
