Chapter 155: Houjin wants to touch the fish
Five thousand musketeers, pure musketeers plus an artillery battalion.
Yes, Chongzhen learned the military establishment of the Qin State, and Li Luo told him that in the future thermal weapons war, such an establishment is the most reasonable. However, in his opinion, regardless of whether it is reasonable or not, the most important thing is that the number of people can be reduced by a lot in this way, and the number of military salaries will also be reduced if the number of people is less.
He is not short of money for the time being, but a lot of money has to be invested in many places, including those that are contrary to the yang and yin of the imperial court.
Now is not an era when you can go directly to take people by decree, local officers and administrators already have enough power to speak, and many of their soldiers are recruited soldiers led by family soldiers. In many cases, the soldiers recognized their masters more than the emperor.
Chongzhen regained power in Beijing, which meant a complete declaration of war with the Confucian families in the world.
In just three days, there was crazy news everywhere that Chongzhen was bewitched by villains and killed the pillars of the court in vain. Chongzhen can be regarded as having eaten the bitter fruit of the foolish people, and the people believe the rumors of those big families more, and will not believe him, the emperor.
What does this mean? It means that soon, there will be people who, under the slogan of the Qing monarch's side, will go north to attack Beijing! Until now, they still haven't forgotten that they want to turn Emperor Chongzhen back into a puppet. Of course, if this fails, they will support the local vassal king as the new monarch somewhere in the south, and then unanimously target Emperor Chongzhen.
Therefore, Chongzhen must strengthen the replenishment of firearms, and second, he must do his best to raise more food.
At this stage, the troops he can mobilize are 5,000 musketeers, plus an artillery battalion. There are still more than 5,000 infantry left, but they are all decorations, and they can't form a combat force at all. As a result, after being simply organized by Li Luo, it was changed to an armed police and was responsible for the maintenance of law and order in Beizhili.
At the same time, continue to seal up those families in Beizhili who do not pay the emperor and constantly insult the emperor.
Li Luo completely showed the face of a cool official, he played the opposite role, to maximize the collection of money for the emperor, to lay the foundation for technological innovation, and to lay the foundation for the expansion of the army. He even knew that if there was any trouble, his 'minister' would inevitably become the one who carried the black pot, but he had no regrets.
One qiē, just for the revival of the Ming Dynasty and the rise of China.
In the past half a month, the only good news is that Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng, as well as Sun Chuanting, who has just been promoted, are willing to accept the command of the imperial court. They went from Henan to Beizhili, and after the reorganization of Shun lì, they became the two newly promoted division commanders. Sun Chengzong of Liaodong also sent a letter, saying that as long as the old minister is alive for one day, Liaodong will be the Ming Dynasty!
Seeing that these people were showing their loyalty to him one by one, Chongzhen finally smiled, he knew that he was not alone in the struggle.
He still implemented the various principles and policies of the Qin State, from politics to the military, and even the people's livelihood, workers and peasants were actively imitating. But he and Li Luo were destined to be unable to imitate Guò to achieve the Zhongxing of the Ming Dynasty. Because they don't have plug-ins, their development speed is not as fast as Zhang Hongbin; They don't have enough industrial technology accumulation, so they can't compare to Zhang Hongbin; They don't even have Zhang Hongbin's mind and foresight for the development of the political system, so they are doomed to tragedy.
But it cannot be denied that at this stage, with the release of "Daming Weekly", Chongzhen also began to learn from Qin to launch a public opinion offensive. Localities have set up state-run farms, and even if the administration has not changed, they have increased the investment of the supervisory organs. Dongchang and Jinyiwei supervise the courtiers all the time and don't let them do anything wrong. What has progressed is that everyone's salaries have been raised.
The cabinet set up a special price audit department to determine the price of prices and the purchase of gold and silver in the Ming Dynasty, and after review, report to Chongzhen every month. Of course, this agency is also responsible for reviewing the budget for the year, the budget for a disaster relief project, and so on. Originally, this was the authority of the household department, which was directly separated and directly responsible to Emperor Chongzhen, but it was under the supervision of the supervision agency. The purpose is simple, to ensure that there is no corruption such as 'drifting' and 'fire consumption'.
In Li Luo's words: "The imperial court has a high salary and a low salary, and there is no restriction on you doing business, but the business tax is slightly reformed." In this way, corruption is also carried out, and that is the rhythm of death. Chongzhen also thought deeply about this, especially when he saw the business tax income of Daqin this year, he felt that he had really been pitted by his courtiers before.
New commercial and agricultural taxes were enacted, and the world was advertised, and even a maritime ban was opened, indicating that the market would be reopened and trade taxes and duties would be officially collected.
As a result, this edict was issued, but it was not posted anywhere other than Beizhili. The people below didn't even know that there was such an edict.
Why?
This is an issue involving the fundamental interests of the Maison, and as long as they are not stupid or do not want their annual income to drop by more than 50%, they will not agree to the issuance of this edict. It can even be said that this edict directly pushed the emperor and local family officials to the opposite side.
Hunan took the lead in expressing its independence from the central government and recommended Zhu Yiming, the king of Xiangyang, as the new emperor. At the same time, the whole army requisitioned food, prepared to go north to the side of the Qing monarch, and abolished the tyrant.
Subsequently, in addition to Yongzhen, the representative of Muwangfu in Yunnan supported Emperor Chongzhen on behalf of Yunnan; Sichuan Qin Liangyu led the Sichuan military and people to support Emperor Chongzhen; Except for Sun Chengzong of Liaodong who led the soldiers of Liaodong to support Emperor Chongzhen, Chongzhen lost most of his country in an instant. All provinces are self-governing, or inter-provincial self-government.
"Hehe, when the emperor is in my share, it is really unprecedented!" After Chongzhen got the military report, he smiled decadently.
"No, in the past, Emperor Liu Qi of the Han Xiaojing and Liu Che of the Han Wu Emperor also rebelled because they wanted to abolish the power of the local vassal kings. In the end, Emperor Jing had to kill Chao Cuo, and Emperor Wu of Han had to kill his master father Yan to appease the anger of the vassal king. Li Luo smiled with a smile.
His meaning is very clear, if he wants them to calm down, just kill him Li Luo.
"I'm not Emperor Jing and Emperor Wu, and they can't do it! I want to see what they can do against me! Chongzhen quickly regained his self-confidence.
"Swear to the death!" Li Luo immediately knelt down to show his loyalty.
At the same time, Liaodong Shengjing.
"Chongzhen Xiao'er, he is digging his own grave at all!" Huang Taiji received the information and immediately laughed.
"Now Chongzhen only has Beizhili and a few other distant waters that can't save the land near the fire, and the tax can't be collected, and I'm afraid that the Liao salary will not be settled. Now the soldiers of Liaodong are only afraid of great resentment, and they are afraid that they will not be attentive when they fight. The most important thing is that once we break through Liaodong, we can directly encircle the Jingshi. When the time comes, no one will come to King Qin again! Dolgon was also very excited.
"As long as we take Beijing, we will have a smooth road ahead. In addition, local governments are in charge, and we can completely break through them and gradually encroach on the world. One is not good, maybe our Daikin can still become the lord of the Central Plains! "Huang Taiji is already intoxicated with the beauty of the future.
Many people yearn for that day, and they know that even if they can't beat it, they can loot it and then leave.
Huaxia, which is fighting on its own, has no one to stop Dajin's iron hooves! Besides, Daikin's firearms are not weak!
"Recruit troops to fight, listen to my orders at any time, and go south to patrol!" Huang Taiji finally decided to take advantage of the muddy water and go south to fish!
