Chapter 472: Chongzhen panicked
After the practice of sending Jinyi guards to kill people was exposed.
Can't hide.
The identity of Zhu Youzhen's real mastermind behind the scenes, it is impossible to hide it now, and it is impossible to believe it if you want to deny it.
The purpose of the royal family.
Zhu Youzhen's ideas and ambitions.
and the ruthless methods employed.
All of them are like open-air roads, exposed to the sun, and completely presented in front of every Ming people.
Public opinion has also taken a 180-degree turn.
Although some newspapers run by the imperial court are trying their best to cover up and explain, saying that this is a complete misunderstanding, His Majesty the Emperor has no intention of killing the heroes, His Majesty just wants to knock and beat, so that the local military leaders are obedient, and ask them not to harm the people anymore, all the original intentions are for the interests of the people, not to plunder property, land and minerals, etc., but I didn't expect the people below to understand the wrong meaning, and the attack was a bit heavy, which led to such consequences, His Majesty the Emperor has ordered a thorough investigation, has been convicted and beheaded hundreds of people, this matter can not be further investigated, so far, it will not happen in the future, let's pay attention to other topics.
Such an explanation is indeed a bit effective for ordinary people, coupled with the three military leaders of Wang, Yang, and Deng, who have been female cadres and violated the law of the king in recent years, they have indeed done too much, causing hatred and dissatisfaction among many people, so seeing that the three military leaders have such an end, some people are applauding and are very supportive of the royal family.
It's just the support of a small number of people, and it has no effect, and it is not the people at the bottom who dominate the entire Ming Dynasty today, and the energy and resources they have at their disposal cannot change the overall atmosphere of public opinion.
What really dominates and rules this empire is the wealthy merchant class of the Ming Dynasty, the military leaders in various places, and the Guanning military group and other forces that have developed into a giant consortium.
The wealth, resources, and armies controlled by these forces account for more than seventy percent of the Ming Dynasty, the royal family accounts for one percent at most, and the people account for two percent, so the emperor and the people at the bottom are united, and it is impossible for businessmen + military leaders + giant consortiums to be opponents.
What's more, the real giant Xu Jiazhuang also faintly stood on the side of supporting the three military leaders this time, and did not clearly express his support for the royal family.
So the situation is clear at a glance.
"Send troops, we will send millions of troops to seek justice for three veterans who have served the country."
Zuo Liangyu, the head of the local army, shouted frantically in the telegram, seemingly not taking the royal family in his eyes at all, and barely concealed his words, and said: "Today is the three veterans, is it our turn tomorrow, harvest one a year, is it ten years later, in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, not a single military leader is convinced, the royal family can defeat the Guanning army again, and then eliminate the Fujian Zheng consortium, and finally concentrate all the forces to deal with Xujiazhuang?" This kind of thinking is very good, if I sit in that position, I will also think like this, but what era is it now, now is no longer the era of fighting and killing, barbaric force can no longer be used casually, what can make the world subjugate now is civilization, advanced systems, developed productive forces, and technology that can bring rapid development and get you rid of poverty and backwardness, and these things, can the royal family provide, will Your Majesty give them to us for free? Will Your Majesty let every Ming common person recuperate and live a rich and happy life? Can royalty make a difference that changes everything for the better?"
"No, obviously not, from ancient times to the present feudal dynasty, the demand for the people, often the treatment of the contribution to the people, even if it is the so-called peaceful and prosperous times, there will still be many people starving to death, unclothed, busy all year round, even food and clothing are difficult to guarantee, in the later period, the population of the royal family has increased, the income of officials has increased, the burden on the people has increased, as long as there is another natural disaster that cannot be dealt with, the time has come, two thousand years, almost two thousand years have not jumped out of this cycle, Because we have always been dividing up the limited cake, no one is going to make a big cake, or even afraid to make a big cake, so we can't get out of the cycle of rise and fall."
"Now, the times have changed, Xujiazhuang has brought us advanced productivity, brought high-yield seeds, brought all kinds of technologies, made our productivity, increased dozens of times, hundreds of times, for the first time, the people have enough
For the first time, the people were able to get enough food and clothing with their own hands and three or five acres of land, and for the first time, some people also had the freedom to move, and they could develop and take root in overseas places such as Nanyang, cultivate on the land that crops three or four times a year, and live a life that is easy to survive."
"However, where does a ghost, a ghost that haunts the people of the Ming Dynasty, still exist, it still does not realize its true accusations, it still can't let go of its nature of oppression and deprivation, it still wants to go back to the past era, it still has a strong hostility towards those of us who have entered a new era, and it wants to wipe us out, and then eat all the cakes again, and continue to be high and powerful, and those who dare to resist and expose will suffer a tragic end. Even at the cost of one's life!"
"But I'm not afraid, I'm going to be the first to stand up and be the one who holds high the banner of resistance, I'm going to organize this ghost, I want to continue to enslave everyone, the Royal Legion is very strong now, there are as many as half a million, but as long as we join forces, we can pull out an army of millions at once, we can be stronger than the Royal Legion, and we are not an existence that can be kneaded at will! Don't always use the people as an excuse, the people of the Ming Dynasty have suffered for hundreds of years, and have they lived a good life for a few days? Isn't it that after entering the new era, they relied on their own hands to create today's good days, and how much credit does the royal family have for this?"
"All in all, if the royal family doesn't give us a good explanation this time, we can't use reason to convince us that the death of the three old generals must be investigated to the end, and the black hands behind the scenes will pay a huge price! It's a big deal, it's just to set up a more holy new monarch, and don't think that we don't have the strength to do it, Guan Ning Army, Fujian Zhengjia Army, Qin Army in the Northwest, Baipole Army in Sichuan, and my Zuojia Army, more than a dozen families' army, there is no pressure to make up a million army, this does not include the strength of Xu Jiajun, this world has long been not a world where the imperial power has the final say, but also a world where everyone has the final say, justice, we must get it back!"
Text.
This article has brought a very big response in the public opinion field of Daming.
There are many people who feel that it makes sense to say that the imperial power since ancient times, although it has played a role in protecting the people from war, famine, natural disasters and other effects, but the later it is, the imperial power itself has become a source of extreme pain for the people, even greater than the destructive power of war, famine and natural disasters, in the feudal dynasty period, the stage when the people can live a good life is probably a few decades of prosperity, and then there is endless servitude, taxes and wars, as well as endless suffering, and the benefits brought by the protection of the dynasty, It is estimated that it is five or five open, and it is neither good nor bad.
However, under the protection of the new order provided by Xujiazhuang, the gap is too big to be compared at all.
For example, in the territory controlled by Xujiazhuang now, agricultural tax has been completely exempted, no matter what is planted, in addition to the processing and sales links, production and harvest stages, there is no need to pay a penny tax, and even the manor specializing in growing grain can also get a large amount of subsidies, after all, the value of grain is low, if there is no subsidy, all go to plant cash crops, then how can it be obtained, so it is necessary to use subsidies to balance.
For example, under the protection of the order of Xujiazhuang, the production efficiency is hundreds and thousands of times higher, and the wheels are completely used to replace the legs when going out, and there are fewer and fewer positions that require pure muscle strength, and the degree of hard work today may be less than one-fifth of the past.
In the military aspect, due to the equipment of a large number of advanced weapons, the population of hundreds of millions of people can maintain an elite army of 200,000 or 300,000 people, and the burden in this regard has also been greatly reduced, and the frequency of wars has also been greatly reduced.
There are other aspects, blah blah blah.
Just because Xujiazhuang has made the cake bigger hundreds or thousands of times, every people have benefited, and the days are dozens of times better than before, hundreds of times, so in Xujiazhuang, the support rate of the people has been more than 98% for a long time, and the people in Daming, although with the development of productive forces, they rely on their hard-working hands, and their living standards have also improved by five to ten times, and the sense of gain is very strong, but all kinds of taxes and showdowns in Daming, and the oppression of officials
etc., it has never decreased much, and the happiness index has not actually improved much, and I still feel depressed.
Therefore, this essay of tens of thousands of words has been widely circulated.
The people who supported the Ming royal family suddenly became a minority, and most of them either stood neutral or opposed to the royal family.
As for the military leaders in various places, they responded very positively, immediately making the appearance of rearmament and warfare, and also announced the number of troops that had entered the state of combat readiness.
For example, the Guanning Army, which already has 480,000 troops, has entered a state of combat readiness and mobilization, and can be dispatched at any time.
Fujian's Zheng Jiajun also claims to have an army of 250,000 and can be dispatched at any time to help the three veterans seek justice.
There is also the Qin army in the southwest, which has also become an anti-bone boy this time, announcing that there are 300,000 troops in combat readiness, but will not take military action, but hopes that all parties can calm down and not abuse force, otherwise this precedent will be opened, and in the future, there will be no peace in the empire, and sooner or later it will become torn apart.
Sichuan's Baigang Army announced that 50,000 people were in a state of combat readiness, but it would not send troops to help, but hoped to solve the problem through negotiations, and resorting to force was the next resort.
plus Zuo Liangyu's army of 30,000.
and other army leaders, you 10,000, I 20,000, his army of 30,000.
All of them combined, far more than one million, completely overwhelmed the royal legion.
There is also one that makes Zhu Youzhen extremely angry, that is, the Tang Army that occupies the northern part of the Western Regions, its commander Zhu Yujian, he also has nearly 300,000 soldiers and horses under his command, although the rabble is the majority, and the combat effectiveness is not very strong, but Zhu Yujian kept silent this time, and also issued a public telegram, saying that he would not meddle in this matter, and also hoped to investigate the reasons clearly, compensate the three old generals, and do not do the thing of hiding the bird's bow, and now the annual income of the royal family exceeds 300 million silver dollars, with a balance every year, Why expand so many armies and do something extraneous? Everyone enjoys this era of peace and development, isn't it fragrant, don't toss it anymore!
This statement, obviously, is a bit of a condemnation of the royal family, I feel that the emperor Zhu Youzhen is a little bit of nothing to do, and a good life is just a toss, this Zhu Youzhen is angry, smashed a lot of things, and scolded endlessly in the palace!
"Zhu Yujian, you dog, if you don't have the permission of my holy decree, can you run to a treasure land like the Western Regions and live a life like a free king?"
"I can't wait to kill you wolf-hearted thing with a sword!"
"We are all surnamed Zhu, and we are all descendants of the Zhu family, no matter how ridiculous I am, I have done a big wrong, no matter what, you should be on my side, but you bastard, you don't even send troops to help, and you still draw a line with me, thinking that I am looking for trouble? Bastard, bastard, I was blind in the first place, I shouldn't have allowed you to go to the Western Regions, I should have killed you, a white-eyed wolf!"
"Bang, bang!"
After breaking a lot of things.
Seeing yourself in a lonely situation.
Seeing that the army of millions has been mobilized, and the training is carried out every day, although joint action has not yet been taken, it is obvious that it depends on his next performance as the emperor, if he shows sincerity and makes compensation, he will no longer find trouble with any forces in the future, everyone is clearly distinguished, do not interfere with each other, even if a particularly vicious incident occurs, it must be under the leadership of Xu Jiazhuang, and the rules for dealing with it must be formulated, rather than what the royal family wants to do.
In the final analysis, it is to limit the rights of the emperor, or simply take away and deprive the rights that belong to the emperor, and lose many of the powers in his hands.
If you don't agree, you can't come up with a plan that satisfies all the military leaders.
The situation of the royal family will be extremely dangerous.
What to do?
Walking around the palace, Zhu Youzhen, who was anxious to become an ant, walked around dozens of times, feeling extremely panicked, and a little bit unsure of what to do?
And if it is really fought, although Zhu Youzhen is not afraid of the strength of any army leader, what he is afraid of is to unite, unite, and put pressure on the royal family, which is really a *** annoyance that cannot be handled.
Xujiazhuang!
In the end, he could only find the liaison officer of Xujiazhuang and discuss it to see if Xujiazhuang could help him through this difficulty.
