Chapter 421: Centralization

Why doesn't the same system apply? Because there are two major harms.

Before Jiannu entered the customs, his favorite thing to do was to destroy the border and enter the blockage, loot on a large scale, and when robbing, he not only robbed cattle, sheep, livestock and goods, but also robbed people.

What are you doing to rob people? Grab it back as a coat and farm the land, so that the Eight Banners soldiers don't have to farm the land themselves.

This practice is extremely effective when the tribe is still very poor, because it can greatly stimulate the desire of the Eight Banners to fight, prompting them to rob more clothing, cattle and sheep, and more goods.

However, since the entry into the customs, especially the staking of the land, the situation has changed radically.

After staking the land, almost every banner was allocated a few hundred acres and a maximum of thousands of acres of cultivated land, and each banner also grabbed dozens of coatings and as little as three or five coatings.

At this time, the Eight Banners can live a very comfortable life, and their enterprising spirit will be greatly reduced.

Do you think, the Eight Banners can no longer work in the field, and they can live such a shameless life with their wives and concubines and slaves in their arms every day, who is willing to go to the battlefield to fight for life and death? People are not stupid.

Because of this, after the Eight Banners entered the customs, their combat effectiveness collapsed in a very short period of time.

In another time and space, the three feudatories raised troops to make a rebellion, and the Eight Banners were already ineffective, and Kang Mazi had no choice but to reuse the clothed minions and the green battalion.

Therefore, the first harm of the Eight Banners system is that it will make the Eight Banners lose their enterprising spirit.

The second harm of the Eight Banners system is that it greatly restricts the development of social productive forces, because under the Eight Banners system, almost all the means of production are concentrated in the hands of the banner people, and a huge number of Han people are only clothed slaves, and the vast majority of banner people treat the clothed slaves very hard, and they are not allowed to eat enough.

In this case, where does the coating get the strength to farm and work?

For the same cultivated land, Han civilians can harvest two or even three stones per mu when they cultivate, but once it falls into the hands of Jiannu, five buckets per mu is already considered high-yielding, and three buckets or even two buckets are possible.

It is precisely because of this that Jiannu will have a food shortage every year in Liaodong.

What is Liaodong? It is the most fertile land in the whole of China.

More than 300,000 Jiannu guarding such a large piece of black land, there will be a food shortage, can you imagine?

To what extent did the production efficiency of Jiannu have to be low before a food shortage broke out in Liaodong? The reason why the production efficiency of Jiannu is so low is because of the Eight Banners hunting system.

This system only applies to fishing and hunting tribes, and is not applicable to agricultural civilizations at all.

Huang Taiji was already aware of this, but unfortunately he had just set up the Internal Affairs Office, and he suddenly died before he could reform the Eight Banners system.

Now Dorgon is aware of this, too.

It was also decided to reform the Eight Banners system.

Dolgon's words made Hong Chengchou and the three of them excited.

Finally made them wait, the imperial father regent is finally going to reform the Eight Banners system!

These three hardcore traitors are now really on the position of Jiannu thoroughly, and what they are thinking about all the time is the interests of Jiannu or the Qing court.

At that moment, Hong Chengchou proposed: "Master, reforming the Eight Banners system is bound to be frantically resisted by the Eight Banners nobles, so the slave thinks that it is still necessary to lead the way to the east and use external forces to achieve the goal." ”

"With the help of external forces?" Dolgon asked, "Mr. Hengjiu, what do you mean by that?" ”

Hong Chengchou said: "It is through the war with Nanming that the military power in the hands of the Eight Banners nobles will be gradually relieved, as long as the military power of the Eight Banners nobles is relieved, the next thing will be a matter of course." ”

"Sir, do you mean to march south again?" Duoduo frowned, "I'm afraid it's inappropriate, right?" ”

Dolgon also frowned slightly, although he dreamed of going south, but the current Qing Dynasty really didn't have this ability.

"No, no, no, the Ten Kings have misunderstood the meaning of the minions." Hong Chengchou hurriedly explained, "The meaning of the slave is not to march south, but to constantly use Jiala and even Niulu as a unit, give full play to the riding and archery advantages of our Qing soldiers coming and going like the wind, and constantly launch endless attacks and harassment battles against the Huanghuai defense line of the Southern Ming Dynasty." ”

"Well, I understand what the gentleman means." Dorgon said suddenly.

"It's to use Nanming's Huanghuai defense line as a hunting ground and let the Eight Banners warriors go hunting, right?"

"yes, that's what it means." Hong Chengchou said, "There are two advantages to this, one is that in this process, the military power of the Eight Banners can be gradually collected in the form of moisturizing things silently, and the flag affairs of the Eight Banners can be separated from the military power." ”

Duoduo was still a little puzzled and asked, "How to realize the separation of flag affairs and military power?" ”

"It's simple." Hong Chengchou smiled and said, "Before sending troops, I only talked about the captivity of Henan and Shandong, and the banner lord Baylor will definitely agree to share the military needs, after all, there are benefits to share." ”

"Who wouldn't want to have more coatings in their home?"

"Wait until the military needs are concentrated in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and then announce the specific combat strategy."

"At this time, the wood has been completed, and it is too late for Baylor, the flag owner of each flag, to rebel against Mei."

"Then use the military supplies to gradually control the generals of the various banners, to put it simply, those who obey the master or the internal affairs government can get enough military supplies, and those who do not obey will not get military supplies."

"In this way, after a year, the generals of the banners will become accustomed to obeying their masters and the internal affairs office."

After saying this, Hong Chengchou said: "When the master declares the separation of flag affairs and military power, no one will dare to object, and then the master and the internal affairs government will monopolize the military power, and then the Eight Banners system can be reformed in an orderly manner." ”

Dolgon hummed softly and asked, "Mr. Hengjiu, what is the second benefit?" ”

Hong Chengchou said: "The second advantage is that you can take this opportunity to greatly consume the money and food population of Nanming, and in less than two years, the Huanghuai defense line carefully built by Chongzhen will be beaten to pieces, and then when my Qing soldiers march south again, they will be able to destroy the Huanghuai defense line without much effort and take Nanjing!" ”

"Good!" "Just do as you sir!" ”

After saying this, he shouted again: "Hou Fangyu? Hou Fangyu! ”

Hou Fangyu immediately bowed his shoulders and walked in and asked, "Master?" ”

Dolgon said: "You immediately go and inform the banner lord of the banners, Baylor, to come to Prince Rui's palace to discuss politics!" He told them that there was a big matter, and that there was an urgency, and that the banner owners of all the banners, Baylor, must be present. ”

"Huh!" Hou Fangyu immediately turned around and ran away.

"Huang Ama." As soon as Hou Fangyu walked on the front foot, Fu Lin walked in on the back foot.

"Your Majesty?" Dolgon sat up from the kang in some astonishment and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"The ministers knock on the emperor." Hong Chengchou and the other three traitors hurriedly bowed to the worship, and Duoduo also followed with some reluctance to bow down to Fu Linxing, which was really unlucky.

"The retainers are here to greet the emperor."

Fu Lin flicked his sleeves and knelt down on one knee: "Huang Ama is auspicious." ”

"Flat." Dolgon shook his hand and said, "Go up to the kang and sit." ”

Fu Lin sat down on the kang and asked with a smile: "Huang Ama, can the ministers participate in the discussion of the meeting?" ”

Dolgon was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Of course you can, you are the emperor, you can do whatever you want." ”

It didn't take long for the bannermen of the banners to come to Prince Rui's mansion one after another, and they couldn't help but feel a little surprised to see that Fulin was actually there, but they didn't think much about it.

……

Let's not talk about Jiannu's side, let's go back to Daming.

For the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, it is really possible to take annual leave after sacrificing heaven and earth on the first day of the new year, and they can rest until the twentieth day of the first month before going to court.

After Qian Qianyi, the fourth assistant of the cabinet, dispersed the dynasty, he returned to his hometown in Changshu with Liu Ruyi.

Since then, until the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Qian Qianyi stayed in the Banshan Hall with Liu Ru, and the couple chanted poems every day, adding fragrance to the red sleeves, which was really uncomfortable.

However, the beautiful life was shattered in the evening of the Lantern Festival.

The moonlight was just right this night, Qian Qianyi and Liu Ru were eating Lantern Festival and admiring the moon in front of the Red Bean Restaurant, and they saw the old housekeeper Qian Kuan walking over with a solemn expression.

"Master, the third master is coming to visit." The old butler said.

"There is also the seventh master of the Rugao impostor family, and the eldest master of the Xu family of Huating is also here."

"The three of them are here together?" Qian Qianyi's expression froze for a moment when he heard this, and then he said to Liu Rushi, "Madam, come when you go for your husband." ”

"Go ahead." Liu Ru said softly, "The concubine will wait for you to come back and eat Lantern Festival together." ”

Qian Qianyi sighed, then stood up and left in a hurry with Qian Kuan, seeing Qian Qianyi's figure walking away, Liu Ruyi's pair of willow eyebrows slowly frowned, and she had a very bad premonition.

At this time, in the East Flower Hall of the Mid-Levels Hall, there were three old men sitting.

These three people are all famous grain merchants in Nanzhi, one is Qian Qianli, Qian Qianyi's brother, the other is named Mao Jingzu, who is Mao Xiang's uncle, and the other is Xu Ersui, Xu Jie's great-grandson.

Footsteps sounded outside the hall, and then Qian Qianyi walked in quickly.

"Elder Ge." The three old men hurriedly got up and saluted Qian Qianyi.

"Excuse me." Qian Qianyi waved his hand, sat down again and asked, "The three of them came to the cold house together, I don't think it was to ask for a bowl of Lantern Festival to eat, let's talk about it, what's wrong?" ”

"Elder Ge, something happened." Mao Jingzu stomped his feet and said, "Something is wrong." ”

Xu Er then said: "Xiuning Wang's family and Shexian Hu's family want to smash our plate!" ”

Qian Qianli continued: "Since the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, grain from Huguang has been arriving in Nanjing, and the price is always one or two lower than our rice shop. ”

"Our rice shop sells five taels, and they sell four taels."

"Our rice shop sells four taels, and they sell three taels."

After saying this, he said with a black face: "Isn't this intentionally smashing our plate?" ”

"Xiuning Wangjiashe County Hu family?" Qian Qianyi said, "Are these two families very financially strong?" ”

Qian Qianli said: "It is not possible to talk about strong financial resources, although the Wang and Hu families have been engaged in the grain business between Huguang and Nanzhi for decades, but the accumulated family wealth is also limited, and it is only one million taels to die. ”

"A million taels?" Qian Qianyi said angrily when he heard this, "Just a million taels scared you like this?" ”
