Chapter 44: Orderly

Chapter 44 is in order

"Putting ......"

With Liu Jin's order, a team of archers suddenly appeared around, stretching their bows and arrows, and shooting at the five hundred sunflower sword guards.

Whoosh

The rain of arrows fell, five hundred sunflower sword guards at the same time, the sword light flickered, all the incoming arrows were blocked, and then, the figure was like a ghost, between the changes and changes, the sword blade was already on the neck of the archer, as long as a slight force, a team of archers will immediately return to Jiuquan.

"Alright."

Zhu Houzhao asked the Sunflower Sword Guard to stop.

His eyes swept over the five hundred Sunflower Sword Guards who had practiced the sword technique of warding off evil spirits, and he already had a certain judgment on them in his heart.

Sunflower Sword Guard has a very high advantage in assassination, but it is not suitable for large-scale combat, just like just now, all it takes is one more volley from the archers, and the Sunflower Sword Guard will be tired of coping, and if it can't survive three rounds of arrow salvo, it will be taken down with all its strength.

In short, the Sunflower Sword Guard has a strong individual combat ability, but it is not suitable for large-scale legion combat, and it is difficult to even cooperate with coordinated operations.

Three thousand eunuchs fight the world, it is basically impossible, but it is still good to use it as a finale hole card.

"Good!"

Generally speaking, Zhu Houzhao is quite satisfied with the Sunflower Sword Guard, and he has not practiced the evil sword technique for a long time, and he can easily block a volley of arrows from a team of archers, which shows that martial arts is indeed powerful, if the army is equipped on a large scale, the logistics can also keep up, enough to sweep at home and abroad.

Firearms are not too developed now, and it is not impossible to dominate the world with the powerful military advantage brought by martial arts.

"Looks like we're going to have to speed things up!"

He smiled secretly in his heart and instructed Liu Jin: "Each person will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, and their biggest task in the future will be to cultivate the sword technique of warding off evil spirits, and cultivate them to me to become the sharpest sword in my hand." ”

Zhu Houzhao doesn't like swords, just because the sword has two edges, hurting others and hurting himself, but he likes knives, only I cut other people's shares, how can others hurt me.

"The slave obeys."

Liu Jin was also happy in his heart, with the protection of these powerful Sunflower Sword Guards, the life safety of he, a world-famous eunuch, could also be improved a lot.

Next, Zhu Houzhao took Liu Jin to Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi, wanting to see how powerful the Jinyi Weiti who cultivated the Mixed Yuan Gong was.

The Jinyi Wei Ti cavalry who cultivated the Mixed Yuan Gong was far less fast than the Sunflower Eunuch, but they were physically strong, as powerful as an ox, and knew how to combine the battle formations, and the strength they could exert on the battlefield far exceeded that of the Sunflower Sword Guard, once they were put on the battlefield, they could definitely be called a battlefield meat grinder.

One is good at assassination and has strong individual combat ability, and the other is good at battlefield fighting.

After seeing the power of his two hole cards, Zhu Houzhao did not wander around outside, and returned directly to the palace, his time was not very abundant, and there were a large number of twists and turns that he needed to review.

Although most of them were impeached against Wang Yangming, and they didn't bother to look at it, some of them were talking about business, and the cabinet couldn't make up their minds, so they submitted them to him for personal approval, and the workload was extremely high.

Under the guidance of Zhu Fu, the Duke of Chengguo, he cleaned up all the moths in the three battalions, and the noble sons who only did nothing in name were also driven away, and the soldiers of the three battalions began to be re-recruited.

The problem of the three major battalions that had been bothering Zhu Houzhao was solved, Hu Dakui and British Gong Zhang Mao took office, and Li Cheng, who was recommended by Wang Yangming to take charge of the Shenji Battalion, was also waiting for Zhu Houzhao to summon him.

After the three battalions, there was a formal reform of the law, military reform, land reform, and tax reform.

Military reform, the abolition of local health centers, to self-recruitment, and the abolition of the fixed household registration system formulated by Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, the descendants of military households can also participate in the imperial examination, or go to other livelihoods.

Land reform, as in the southwest, is carried out to change the land and return it to the stream, all the land is nationalized, redistributed, and the people have the right to use, but it is forbidden to buy and sell the land.

Tax reform, abolish the so-called poll tax, tax according to the number of acres, pay as much tax as you want, increase the commercial tax, and collect heavy taxes.

At the same time, Wang Yangming also reformulated the system of income for officials in the Ming Dynasty, no longer distributing rice and grain, but directly distributing silver money, and increasing the income by five times on the original basis, as long as they do not eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, it is completely enough for the living needs of officials.

The three reforms, against the vassal kings, nobles, civil officials, wealthy families, gentry and other power groups, the opponents are naturally numerous, and the impeachment of Wang Yangming continues to pour into Zhu Houzhao's leopard room like snowflakes.

No one can accept that their land is confiscated, let alone a large amount of taxes, and for all the power groups, paying taxes is to send money to the imperial court, that is, to cut flesh and bloodlet on them, which is absolutely unacceptable to them.

All the power groups are making trouble, and the Jiangnan gentry group headed by the Xu family of Wei Guogong is even more vigorously advocating that Wang Yangming is a scourge and a rebel and thief who rebels against Taizu's orders, because Wang Yangming's changes have fundamentally shaken the political system set by Zhu Yuanzhang.

They didn't dare to grin at Zhu Houzhao, so they could only bombard Wang Yangming frantically, as long as Wang Yangming was overthrown, Zhu Houzhao would be a bare-bones commander, even if he mastered the nine-sided army, it would not be a big deal.

In this regard, Zhu Houzhao just smiled coldly, let the Jiangnan gentry group shout, and then asked Liu Jin to send out five hundred sunflower sword guards, since the knife is sharpened, how can you do it without seeing blood.

Soon after, the 18 wealthy families in Jiangnan were wiped out overnight, and the entire Jiangnan was silent, and the Xu family of Wei Guogong did not dare to make trouble anymore, and honestly pretended to be a grandson!

Zhu Houzhao used the lesson of blood to tell all those who opposed him that he didn't know how to kill, but he was too lazy to kill.

In the past, Liaodong needed people if he didn't kill people, but now it's different, and soon he will not be short of people, even if he fills it with human lives, he can develop and utilize Liaodong, and he can kill unscrupulously!

Jiangnan lost its voice, and the various power groups did not dare to make trouble anymore, but they were still using their own ways to obstruct the change of the law, and refused to hand over the land no matter what, which made officials everywhere extremely helpless.

But the general trend has been grasped by Zhu Houzhao, and everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

restored the title of King Ning, and ordered King Ning to call on all the kings of the world to cooperate with the law change and hand over all the land; There are constantly officials in various places who actively respond to the orders of the imperial court; The Confucian family in Shandong didn't know why they were reluctant to speak out.....

His hole cards are slowly showing out, constantly attacking all forces, following his will, honestly supporting the change, then there will be no trouble, there will be no bloodshed and loss of life, if you don't know each other, he has a way to deal with those people, Jin Yiwei's focus on developing intelligence over the years is not in vain.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to be the enemy of the world?"

Li Dongyang looked at Zhu Houzhao helplessly, if there is turmoil today, and the forces of all parties are ready to move, if this continues, it is difficult for the Ming Dynasty to guarantee that the old things of Jianwen will not be repeated.

The vassal king group, the Xungui group, the civil official group, the scholar group, the Jiangnan gentry, the coastal tycoons, the wealthy businessmen, and the several major power groups that can most influence the situation in the Ming Dynasty are all working against Zhu Houzhao, is Zhu Houzhao capable of suppressing all?
