Why did Yang Yinglong rebel?

The main reason is that he could not sit idly by and watch a large number of serfs under his rule flee to work in the Han land, resulting in serious losses to the interests of the landlord class within his Tusi.

Therefore, he also needs to solve this problem through a war.

Because if he does not do this, the landlords who support him will no longer support him because of the loss of interests, and will even divide him.

It is equivalent to Yang Yinglong's rebellion, not that he wants to rebel alone, but that the entire ruling class within Banzhou Tusi wants to rebel and is dissatisfied with the status quo.

"General Yang, the current predicament lies in the collapse of etiquette, the excessive development of industry and commerce, and the fact that the imperial court values profit rather than morality, so if the general really wants to get rid of the current predicament of the head of Qian, who is unwilling to stay in his hometown and driven by the general, he should pay attention to agriculture and suppress business in the name of protecting etiquette and doing business, and deal heavily with the merchants in the realm he has passed, and treat small farmers well!"

"In addition, in the name of restoring the ancestral system, we should reopen the road and lead the ban, and re-establish the respect of science!"

"In this way, once the Hanyi who have land and farming in the world will not be disgusted by the general's army;"

"Second, the general's crusade against the unscrupulous monarch in the name of restoring the ancestral system can be regarded as justified in raising troops, and the corporal doctor in the world will not be too disgusted with the general."

"The general's great cause is naturally half of it first!"

Yu Maochang, a civil official who attached himself to Yang Yinglong, proposed his strategy to Yang Yinglong after Yang Yinglong raised his army.

Yang Yinglong nodded at this: "What Yu Gong said is extremely true! Zhu Yijun has no way, making the world turbulent, even my southwest corner is not peaceful, and now is the time for me to do the right thing! As the public said, in the name of protecting the rites and restoring the ancestral system, the Qing monarch is on the side! ”

Next, Yang Yinglong soon led his troops to capture Qijiang County.

After capturing Qijiang County, Yang Yinglong did as Yu Maochang did, ordering his officers and soldiers not to rob landlords and peasants, and only to plunder merchants and peddlers, including hired workers working in the city, and forced all these merchants and hired workers into slavery, regardless of Han Yi.

Yu Yougang, the magistrate of Qijiang County, was also escorted to Yang Yinglong after being captured due to injury.

Yang Yinglong was appointed as the magistrate of Qijiang County because he learned that Yu Yougang was originally from a military family, and he was appointed as the magistrate of Qijiang County because of his military exploits and physical disabilities, and he wanted to restore the old system, so he said directly after seeing Yu Yougang:

"If you were a magistrate from a scholar's background, General Ben would still consider recruiting you and making you an official of the General, but since you are a military household with no merit, you should do despicable things for generations, how can you be like me and directly become a nobleman?"

"It's a mess!"

"I didn't mess around!"

"If the new rites have already been implemented today, the meritorious ones of the country are as valuable as their fame, and they can also govern one side on behalf of the Son of Heaven!"

Yu Yougang retorted at this time.

Yang Yinglong smiled after hearing this: "It turned out to be a person who was poisoned by Xinli!" As everyone knows, the new rites are said to correct the mistakes of the old rites and make the rituals more in line with the original meaning of the saints, but in fact, they are messing with the meaning of the saints, which is the origin of the world! ”

After Yang Yinglong said this, he ordered: "Escort this person down, cut off his heart that he was poisoned by the new rite with scissors, and then burn his heart with fire, so as to save more people!" ”

"Yes!"

As a result, Yu Yougang was dragged down by Yang Yinglong's rebels, tied to a pillar, and under the personal supervision of the scholar Yu Maochang, he was stripped of his clothes by the rebels and inserted into his chest with a knife.

"Ahh

Yu Yougang screamed, and couldn't help gritting his teeth and said, "You traitors will not die well!" ”

"If you want to blame him, blame him Zhu Yijun, it was he who made you martial artists turn into civil officials, and he let you fall to the point where you are now!"

"This good world is because he wants to listen to Zhang Dang's words and what new rites he wants to implement, so he has become what he is now, and he forced our general to do this!"

Yu Maochang said a few words with a smile at this time.

"That's right!"

"Now everyone in Banzhou Tusi can't be at ease, because he Zhu Yijun trusts Zhang Taiyue too much, and he refuses to be a person who keeps the old system!"

Yang Yinglong said: "Pass on my general order, in the city under you, if the official of the shepherd guard is not from a scholar and is a civil official, it is the same example, with a clear discipline, especially from a military household; ”

"In addition, all Han women need to re-bind their feet, all Han men who have no merit and fame cannot go out of the countryside for hundreds of miles, all the books they learn today are destroyed, and the scholars must only learn Cheng Zhu's learning, and those who collect them will be beheaded immediately!"

"Yes!"

Yu Maochang was busy praising Yang Yinglong at this time: "The general is wise! In doing so, there is no doubt that it can win the support of many people and doctors who worship the old rites in the world! ”

Yang Yinglong smiled slightly: "How can you win the world without this, how can you return the peace of the world?" ”

"Qijiang filial piety Song Wenbin is willing to offer 30,000 stones of grain and 6,000 stones of raw pork to the general to help the general protect the system! Please also smile at the general! ”

And Yang Yinglong's behavior of restoring the old system and respecting Zhu Zi also won the favor of many old-fashioned gentry.

After all, what these gentry dreamed of was to return to the era of the old system, because then they could unscrupulously treat the people as human beings.

Therefore, on this day, after Yang Yinglong just issued an order in Qijiang County to treat the gentry and restore the old etiquette, Song Wenbin, a wealthy gentry from Qijiang, came to vote.

This made Yang Yinglong very happy, and immediately let Song Wenbin be his Qijiang magistrate.

Moreover, in the future, some old party gentry and landlords in Jiangjin County killed Wan Zihe and others in Zhixian County, and opened the county seat to welcome Yang Yinglong's army.

Yang Yinglong was even more happy because of this, and further strengthened his determination to defend the old rites, restore the ancestral system, and destroy the industry and commerce.

"Mother, why do you want to wrap my feet again?"

"It hurts, it hurts, mother!"

Qiu Ling, the daughter of Fan Shouyue, a member of Qijiang, was tied to a bench on this day, and her slave forcibly folded her feet and wrapped her feet.

But because Qiu Ling was ten years old, her feet had already been formed, so it hurt even more when she was entangled, so she had to struggle with tears.

Fan Shouyue only sighed on the side and said: "I just said that it is better to be quietly entangled, this old rite may have to come back one day, you don't listen, sure enough, now let her suffer a greater sin!" ”

Fan Shouyu's wife, Tian, only comforted her daughter on the side:

"Mother can't help it, if you don't do this, then General Yang's soldiers will kill you, saying that you can't let the bad people live! Bear with me, my child! ”

……

"This Yang Yinglong is simply doing the opposite!"

"Does he think that if he conforms to the old party's mind, he will be able to succeed in the rebellion?!"

"As everyone knows, he is fighting against the whole world by doing this!"

Zhu Yijun was also quite annoyed after knowing Yang Yinglong's series of measures after raising troops through Jinyiwei's intelligence, so he spoke sharply in front of a ruling minister.

"Your Majesty said yes."

"But I also have to admit that there must be a master behind this Yang Yinglong, or this is not as simple as a Tusi rebellion, there are scholars who are trying to restore the old rites to participate!"

"And they do this, it is obviously very clear that there are still many powerful officials and gentry in the world who want to return to the period when they could let a large number of Han people sell them cheaply as slaves, after all, although they are now richer because of their expansion, but the small people have also become a lot richer, which makes them unable to make many small people grateful and willing to be slaves with a little grace as before."

Qi Jiguang said at this time.

Li Chengliang also got up and said, "That's right! ”

"Your Majesty, Yang Yinglong's strategy is not vicious! He knew the minds of the rich men of the world, just as he knew why he rebelled at this time. ”

"Obviously, he has always been arrogant and domineering, has no king's law, and wants to act recklessly to the point of killing his wife and mother, he can't stand the strict discipline of the imperial court, and wants to be a real one-man thief, and the most terrible thing now is that many local tyrants may not be able to stand it for a long time, and want to be a one-man thief in one township and one mile in the locality, so even if he doesn't know the support, I'm afraid that he will secretly support it, at least he will sit back and watch it become bigger, and not put down the rebellion for the imperial court, after all, Yang Yinglong really restricts military discipline this time."

"Admittedly!"

"There is still a big foundation for the old rites, but according to the old rites, it is already a violation of the rites to raise an army against the rebels!"

"Therefore, he Yang Yinglong is digging his own grave by doing this, and even if he can recruit him, he can only recruit speculators or stupid people!"

Zhu Yijun nodded at this time, said a few words, and then said with a faint smile:

"It just so happens that the matter of changing the land and returning to the stream as said by the Gao Gong Gao Qing family in the past has not yet been carried out, and the order of the southwest Tusi Tusi that I planned has not yet found a good opportunity to carry out, and he wants to win over the supporters of the old rites, so I will push the favor to win over the southwest Tusi!"

"Spread my will, let Nanchang Marquis Liu Wei go from Yunnan to Chongqing to serve as the governor of Sichuan, Guizhou, Huguang, Liangguang, and Yunnan provinces, and transfer the Han Yi soldiers in the southwest to suppress them.

"I don't believe that he Yang Yinglong is the only one who wants to be the emperor of the soil!"
