Chapter 753: The Foundation of Domination
Of course, Chen Xie will not kill these people who support him the most, this is not an era that talks about the rule of law. The privileged class will always have zĂ i, but the process is different. These are all people who grew up in the Ming Dynasty, and they don't have any concept of the rule of law in their hearts. In the final analysis, they hurt the interests of Chen Xie and the collective. If it weren't for Chen Xie, others wouldn't be able to help them. If you can't give these people a reason to say the past, how can you reassure others? This is a military interest group with Chen Xie as the core, and the so-called privileged class refers to such a group of people.
But these people have gone too far, and they can't help but show it. It is also the crime of "exile", and the exile itself in this era is a very strict sentence. At least that's how the folk know, exile for 3,000 miles is a terrible thing, and exile to India is more than 10,000 miles.
One of the people present counted one, and instead of resentment, there was only gratitude. In fact, the problem in Liaodong is very strict, and after many years of entrenchment by an interest group with the army as the core, all kinds of problems have come. This is still early to discover, otherwise it is like the Huai Army in history, but it was abolished in 20 years.
Life is too easy, what should I do? Pack up a group of people, maintain the enterprising spirit of this group, and reform the military management model in Liaodong. The decision-making power of government affairs should be handed over to civilian officials, the system of separating military administration from government affairs should be implemented, new blood should be constantly replenished, and a competition mechanism should be formed. There are many of these things, and they are not something that can be achieved overnight, and it will take a few years to basically take shape.
Chen Xie knew very well in his heart that what he could change was almost to the extreme. In this era of widespread illiteracy, it is impossible to promote any democracy. Centralization of power in this period was necessary, and the group was used to promote compulsory education and wait for the next generation to grow up. The new capitalism has become the general climate, and there is no need to promote it at that time, and the next generation will have to make their voices heard. Institutional reform is such a thing, to put it bluntly, it has to be accumulated steadily. In modern times, for example, starting with the Opium War, it took more than half a century for the Qing government to completely disappoint the entire country's elite. It took another half century of turmoil to complete the unification of the political situation. For such a long time, it is easy to express a sentence in words. Really get close to history and look at this history, it's all your own people's blood!
Chen Xie doesn't plan to let his own people bleed, so let the foreign tribes bleed. Let these guys go to India, lead a group of Japanese dogs, and go to India to engage in the Shunchang rebellion. Chen Xie may not be at ease in other countries, but in India. Do not worry. This country is too special, and if you get rid of those earth kings and nobles in general, the rule of this country will last for a long time. How to do it, of course, you can't learn from the British, the British Empire still lost India in the end. Of course, this is also related to the great loss of Britain's own national strength, which is the case with small countries, which leads to the whole body, and the small countries' own immunity is too poor. After the two world wars, the glory of the British Empire was completely over.
The country of India is too strange, the historical Mumbai famine. So many people starved to death, and they didn't see a large-scale uprising. It's really unimaginable, what the trigger for the great Indian uprising was not starvation, but the grease on the bullets, religion. Given the living examples of history. Chen's plan was to cultivate a new ruling elite in India. As for the old ones, just kill them. As for the willingness of the Indian people to continue the caste system, then it is good to continue.
Of course, in the future, there can be no such country as India, only such and such a province. this plan. Chen Xie felt that in his lifetime, how could he complete half of it. Those aristocrats in India, slaughtering seventy percent is estimated to be almost possible. Anyway, those lowest-level people, even if they starved to death, would not think of rebelling.
Another problem is the Liaodong resources that have not been bothered to solve before, and these resources are nominally Chen Xie's. Although part of the tax revenue of Liaodong was handed over to the Ming Household Department, it was for Zhu Youzhen's sake. The entire Liaodong was beaten down by Chen Xie, and when Zhu Youzhen was there, the officials sent by the Ministry of Officials were just empty shelves, and the place that could reflect the political achievements was to look at taxes. Officials who cooperate will have more taxes, and officials who do not cooperate will have less taxes.
On the face, Liaodong is the land recovered by the Ming Dynasty, and Lizi is Chen Xie's private territory. In the past, Liaodong was a bitter cold place, and if it weren't for the Son of Heaven guarding the country, this place would really not be welcomed. The current Liaodong is Chen Xie's heavy industry base, and the industrial and commercial development is second only to Jiangnan. Coupled with the boom in trade with North Korea and Dongying, the proportion of tax revenue is increasing.
Daming has the idea of recovering the rights of Liaodong, but he does not have the strength. I can only watch Chen Xie run the land like an iron bucket, and continue to collect some taxes every year while pretending to be deaf and dumb. It was these privileged classes of the Chen Xie clique that determined the basis of Chen Xie's rule in Liaodong. Do you think Chen Xie can clean up these people to death?
Chen Xie looked around, looked at his subordinates who were kneeling and crying bitterly, and sighed heavily: "I don't blame you for some things, but I didn't make it clear before." After speaking, he wiped the corners of his eyes in a fake way, stepped forward to help a group of people, and waited.
Beckoning everyone to sit down again, Chen Xie said earnestly: "The army shouldn't be engaged in business, this lesson can be described as a painful one." After thinking about it, it is time for the military labor service company to be abolished and replaced with the military asset management department. Only the right to manage, no longer involved in the operation. The various resources under the name are rented to the outside world, and the rent is collected every year, which is handed over to a special team for investment, and the profits obtained are used to settle retired soldiers. Make sure that every soldier receives a significant pension when he leaves the army. The relevant system will be introduced soon. â
Speaking of this, Chen Xie paused, sighed heavily, and said: "As for your dry shares in the company, they will all be canceled in the future." The private interests obtained by colluding with businessmen were all handed over to Zheng Hao. This is the interest of the entire army, and if it is embezzled by individuals, it is everyone who loses. This is also the reason why I am angry, what was supposed to be for the entire military for profit, but it has become a private profit. Are you doing these things right for your comrades who died on the battlefield? Are they worthy of their families? â
Everyone bowed their heads when they were said, and they felt ashamed! Originally, these things were all in Chen Xie's name, and the grandfather cared about everyone's livelihood in the future, so he got dry shares for everyone, and there were dividends every year, but there were still people who were not satisfied and wanted to make a name for themselves. Now Chen Xie has taken advantage of this opportunity to abolish the so-called dry shares and reorganize the operation and management of these resources.
These people are the basis of Chen Xie's rule, after cleaning up, Chen Xie saw that everyone was remorseful, and changed the conversation and said: "They are all heroes who have been in the army for many years, and they followed Lao Tzu to rob slaves, tartars, thieves, and officers and soldiers. How did you get mixed up with high-ranking officials, and you don't have the spirit you had back then? Not to mention India, the whole of Southeast Asia, there is gold everywhere. Siam, Mubang, Annam, some of these places have gold and silver, and there are guys in their hands, just grab them. â
At this time, Chang Shiren stood up and said: "Grandpa, don't say it again, we will all be ashamed to death if we say it again." Everyone nodded wildly as if the chickens were pecking at the rice, and they all echoed Chang Shiren's point of view. Chen Xie glanced at him coldly, and the others were silent.
"Listen to me, you go first, and when you get to India, get ready, in the next ten years, at least half a million Dongying warriors will be sent over to you as subordinates. Your task is to make full use of this power and establish a new ruling class in India. At the top, of course, are you people, and the next point is those Dongying warriors. The looted property and land are all distributed by you people, and my grandfather only needs to collect taxes. Chen Xie drew a super pie, and the eyes of these people didn't roll at all. How can there be such a thing? What a surprise!
Chang Shiren still couldn't believe it, so he hesitated for a moment and said: "This is not very good, the huge India, why do you let everyone share it?" Everyone nodded again, in disbelief. Chen Xie said with an angry expression: "Look at your little bit of talent, India is big, there is a lot of arable land, no less than the two Liaodong, and the climate is suitable and the products are abundant. It was the nobles and the kings who ruled India in the past, and you go and kill some of them and replace them. Those lackeys can't starve anymore, otherwise who will be killed by you? Give them a portion of the looted goods, and then divide the land among them. I don't care how it is distributed, just one requirement, in the future, the official language of India must be official language. â
Chen Xie still has a sentence in his heart that has not been said, in India, these people are the basis of Chen's rule. Because the situation is different, it can't be compared with other places, Chen Xie let these people go to India to be the emperor of the soil.
"Grandpa, I understand. Please rest assured, everyone knows what to do. Chang Shiren hurriedly expressed his position, in fact, what he was thinking about was another thing, he had been in Daming for a long time, and the concept of great unification was deeply rooted in the bone marrow, how could it be possible to make a separatist thing, at least their generation did not have the guts.
Chen Xie saw their thoughts at a glance and interrupted him: "You don't understand, forget it, I'd better tell you carefully." You went to India, and your identity is not an exiled officer, but a nobleman named by the president of the Ming Empire's overseas alliance. In that place, you have fiefdoms. Where is the specific fief, I will sue you when the time comes, and then you go and fight down, and then seal it below. Among you, you need to elect a Governor of India to govern the whole of India, who will be directly responsible to your grandfather. (To be continued......)
