Wutai Mountain, Qingliang Temple.

Emperor Kangxi finally walked into the small building where the "Shunzhi Bodhisattva" ate fasting and recited the Buddha, and looked at the Buddha hall. Amma's back, he won't fight in one place!

This Emperor Amma. What's the matter?

Emperor Chongzhen's son didn't know how to kill him, so he left a third prince of Zhu to hide in Suzhou to study the rebellion! Although he has died, before he died, he had written and disseminated the two anti-books "The World is Public" and "The Heavenly Dynasty Tianmu System", and also created a professional rebellion Tiandihui.

The southwest sealed a scheming Pingxi king Wu Sangui, cultivated power in Yunnan, and colluded with the third prince of Zhu, and got the righteous title of rebellion and "The World is Public" and "The Heavenly Dynasty Tianmu System" from him, and now it is even more rebellious! Not only defeated the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers led by Yue Le, swept Yunguichuan, but also took two prefectures in southern Shaanxi, and recently began to develop to Huguang, Liangguang, and Gannan.

As a result, Kangxi himself couldn't stay in Beijing, so he could only go to Xi'an to fight against Wu!

didn't wait for him to come to Xi'an, and there was another Li Zicheng in Hunan. Quite possibly true!

This is really killing Li Zicheng and only half of it, and the half-dead Li Zicheng, like this Amma, found a temple to hide and cultivate. Now he has finally cultivated into a refinement, and his cultivation has become an "anti-refinement"!

Li Zicheng is becoming more and more refined!

When he rebelled last time, he was just a rogue who didn't know how to run a base area, and he looked very loud, claiming to be a million, but in fact, there were only tens of thousands of people in the old camp of his descendants who could fight, and he was completely lost in the first battle of Shanhaiguan, and then he went all the way downhill, and there was not even a base that could slow him down.

And this time, Li Zicheng, who became a fine, also had a good reputation, won Lizhou at the beginning, and no longer became a rogue, but began to take the road of dividing the fields and building the base. Although Lizhou is remote, there are mountains, rivers and plains, to the north is the south part of Jingzhou, to the east is Dongting Lake, to the west is the Kuidong Mountains, to the south if you can take Changde, there is Yuanshui to follow!

It seems to be a place surrounded by mountains and rivers, abundant products, and a large population, if this Li Zicheng is true, then he must have seen this good place, and he has been working hard there for more than 20 years, just waiting for a shocking reversal!

So Kangxi went to Qingliang Temple today, just to ask Shunzhi clearly, so Li Zicheng died back then?

Thinking of this, Kangxi didn't talk nonsense to his Ama who liked to give up halfway, and opened his mouth directly and said: "Huang Ama's child Xuanye went to Wutai Mountain this time to see you. It's one side, not one back!

The second is to tell you about the general trend of the world today. Our Qing Dynasty is now stormy!

Wu Sangui rebelled in the southwest, defeated Prince An in Xuzhou Mansion, and then killed all the way to the south of the Qinling Mountains, and is now preparing to go out of Qishan and Qinling Mountains This time, the children are going to Beijing in order to go to Xi'an!

However, when the child had only reached Wutai Mountain, he was sent by General Jingzhou and the Governor of Huguang for 800 miles...... They reported to me that Li Zicheng had rebelled in Lizhou again! ”

"What? Li Ziguo is not dead......"

As soon as I heard that Li Zicheng was in Hunan, the great monk of Shunzhi, who was still cultivating closed-mouth meditation with his back to his son, pretended to be a high-ranking monk, couldn't hold back anymore!

I don't worship the Bodhisattva anymore, and quickly turned around to face my son, who I haven't seen for many years, "has a successful career" (became the emperor), and has recently encountered big trouble.

The face of this son...... Sure enough, it's still that "hemp"!

Although he has grown up a lot, this outline is still there, obviously it is a real Kangxi, and it didn't let people drop his bag - but when he was a child, he looked like a very clever child, why do you think of an emperor like this now?

first self-destroyed the Great Wall and beat away Ao Bai who was left for him to protect his family - Ao Bai's next group of old guys can fight!

If they were still there, Wu Sangui wouldn't dare to oppose at all!

Although Yue Le and Ao Bai look similar, they are both so-called generals...... But what is Yue Le's background? What is the origin of Aobai?

Yue Lena is the only surviving senior prince of the clan, and half of his generals rely on reincarnation, and half rely on carrying smallpox!

And although Ao Bai is the founder of the country, there are too many people in Manchukuo who will be reincarnated than him! His veteran is a real one-shot shot!

Now Ao Bai was actually made to take refuge in Wu Sangui by this little child......

This kid is so unbelievable...... I knew that I should have made Fuquan the emperor! Fuquan's child has been kind since he was a child, let him be the emperor, he will definitely not hurt Aobai's heart, let alone force Wu Sangui to rebel.

It's really blinding......

"Amma, is Li Zicheng really not dead?" Kangxi had already opened his mouth to ask about Li Zicheng's life and death at this time.

He was also sure that the middle-aged monk in front of him who was a little thin was his irresponsible emperor Ama - although Shunzhi had been a monk for several years, he had already left a portrait before becoming a monk, and Kangxi often took it out to see when he was a child.

Now this monk Ama and the emperor in the portrait look similar......

Hearing this question, Shunzhi could only sigh: "Xuan Ye, Li Zicheng is probably cheating...... It's a person who can't see anyone alive, and can't see a corpse when he dies! At that time, the area around Jiugong Mountain was in chaos, and the people of the Qing Dynasty, the remnants of the Ming, the thieves, and the local heroes were all fighting each other. By the time we got the news, the dead man was already rotten! Although there is a golden seal dragon robe handed over, picking up those things does not mean that Li Zicheng must be dead. ”

Finished!

Hearing Shunzhi say this, Kangxi knew that Li Zicheng in Lizhou was probably true!

Really, it's much harder to deal with than fake!

Fake Li Zicheng is the first time to rebel, and he must be inexperienced. Moreover, it is impossible for Li Zicheng to master a group of elite veterans who have been fighting for life and death for half his life, let alone planning for many years.

Kangxi wrinkled and muttered: "Since you can't figure out the situation, why should you treat Li Zicheng as dead?" ”

Shunzhi smiled bitterly: "Dolgon, who was in power at the time, felt that it was more advantageous to treat Li Zicheng as dead...... First, Li Zicheng is dead, and our Qing Dynasty's merit of avenging the Ming Dynasty will be completed.

Second, without the banner of Li Zicheng, the thieves would be leaderless...... At least the face is headless, and it is easy to suppress or caress it. ”

"That's fine, but what about afterwards?" Kangxi asked again, "After Huguang is calmed down, why don't you make a secret visit?" ”

Is this blaming you Amma? Shunzhi's face sank, obviously a little unhappy, but he was not the emperor now, and he had no way to reprimand Kangxi, who had been the emperor for many years, so he had to say calmly: "I also knew about this after I became in power, but at that time, the world was already fighting between our Qing Dynasty and the remnants of the Ming Dynasty." So I didn't think much about it, and I thought he was a dead man.

I thought to myself, as long as I can calm the remnants of the Ming and dominate the world, are I still afraid that he will be a Li Zicheng who cheats his life and steals his life? As long as the world is stable and there is nothing to do in the four seas, let alone Li Zicheng, even if Zhu Yuanzhang is resurrected, he will not be able to turn the sky upside down. So I didn't want to make a mess and kill again, but I didn't expect this thief to be so forbearing, and it wasn't until now that he turned back. ”

There is such a simple truth to eliminate evil, why don't you understand it when you are the emperor? Besides, have you and Dorgon done less of their iniquity? Can't you kill hundreds of thousands more?

Kangxi was so annoyed in his heart!

If it weren't for the monk in front of him being his Amma, he would have turned his face and cursed a long time ago.

"Huang Ama," holding back the anger in his heart, Kangxi said to the great monk of Shunzhi again, "Then according to what you see, should the child kill Wu Sangui first, or attack Li Zicheng first?" ”

The great monk of Shunzhi was stunned for a moment, looked at his son and asked, "Xuan Ye, do you have the strength to destroy Wu Sangui now?" ”

Of course not!

was exposed by Shunzhi's lies, and Kangxi was unhappy - it's all you, Ama who is confused, can't you get rid of Wu Sangui while the Manchurian ministers and famous generals are still there? Isn't it okay to send people to Huguang to search for Li Zicheng after the personal conquest?

"Amma, although I don't have the strength to destroy Wu Sangui all at once, I have the certainty of blocking Qishan and Qinling!" Kangxi said confidently, "As long as Wu Sangui can be blocked in Yunguichuan, there is no problem to kill slowly." It's just."

Shunzhi saw that Kangxi wanted to speak and stopped, so he continued his words and said: "It's just that once Li Zicheng becomes bigger, it is possible to turn back into Liukou, cross the Yangtze River and the Han River, and go all the way to the Central Plains?" ”

Kangxi nodded: "What Ama said is extremely true, what the child is worried about is the road to revival of the Han dynasty planned for Liu Bei in Zhuge Liang's "Longzhong Pair" in Zhuge Liang's "Longzhong Pair" after Li Zicheng became a big man, isn't it Liu Bei taking Guanzhong and Guan Yu entering Zhongzhou?" As long as one of the two roads succeeds, Cao Wei will be finished. If it weren't for Guan Yun's carelessness and loss of Jingzhou, this pair of Longzhong would most likely come true! ”

Kangxi's worries are not unreasonable, although Li Zicheng now puts on a picture of wanting to sit on the shore and slowly run the "Xiangbei Base Area", but after all, he is an old man, and if he has been in business for ten or eight years, he doesn't need Kangxi to suppress it, he will be cold himself.

If he still wants to live another addiction to the world in his lifetime, he must gather 180,000 anti-thieves to cross the river and cross the northern expedition after becoming bigger. And in the current situation, even if Kangxi can block Qishan and Qinling, it is impossible to destroy Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui can't do it once he comes out of Qishan, and he can still come out of two, three, and four. If Li Zicheng went on a rampage in the Central Plains, the situation would not only be similar to what Longzhong said to Li, but also similar to when the Ming and Qing dynasties were fighting. It's just that Chongzhen changed Kangxi, Huang Taiji changed Wu Sangui, and Li Zicheng also did Li Zicheng.

Shunzhi had already understood Kangxi's thoughts, but he didn't make a choice between Wu Sangui and Li Zicheng, and just said lightly: "Li Zicheng can be a disaster to the world for more than ten years, and he is by no means a thief who can be easily exterminated. Otherwise, Emperor Chongzhen would have destroyed this thief a long time ago, and there would have been no disaster from Hanging Jingshan in the future. ”

He was reminding Kangxi not to underestimate the enemy, don't think about sending an army of 8,000 to destroy Li Zicheng in one go!

Li Zicheng wants to be so easy to destroy, where is there still a Qing Dynasty? If you want to destroy Li Zicheng, you must be prepared to fight a protracted war!

Of course, Emperor Kangxi could understand Shunzhi's words, and he was hesitating whether he should fight steadily or in one go. Now that he heard his father say this, he finally made up his mind, only to see him bow his head emphatically and say, "Amma, the child understands your teachings!" What you mean is that the lion fights the rabbit must do his best, and only the general of Jingzhou and the governor of Huguang can go all out to exterminate Li Zicheng in one fell swoop! ”

What? How can you understand me like that, a little kid? The great monks of Shunzhi were dumbfounded.

He just wanted to explain it to his son again, but Kangxi had already spoken first: "Amma, are you still used to living in Wutai Mountain all these years?" Do you want to change places? The child is going to Shaanxi this time, and only Fuquan and the Empress Dowager are left in Beijing, so I don't feel at ease, Amma, can you go back to Beijing to be a princess. Monk? ”

Back to Beijing. When a monk?

What does this mean?

Shunzhi was stunned for a moment, there are people who are emperors and monks in this world, but what is this monk? What does this little pockmark mean? That's not right. There are no fathers and sons in heaven!

However, Shunzhi didn't be stunned for too long, he had already reacted, and immediately took out a desireless expression, shook his head and said: "Xuanye, with the Empress Dowager here, Beijing City can't be chaotic. You can rest assured. I won't go back, and I won't be able to go back, because the Empress Dowager doesn't want to see me, an unfilial monk, again, Amitabha! ”

After chanting the Buddha's name, the great monk of Shunzhi slowly closed his eyelids and began to chant the mantra: "Ma Mi Ma Mi Coax, Ma Mi Ma Mi Coax"

Seeing that the great monk of Shunzhi looked like he only loved the Buddha and did not love the country, Kangxi let out a sigh, folded his hands, and made a Buddhist salute to his own Amma, and then turned around and left to give Ezha and Cai Yurong the holy decree of encircling and suppressing the "Xiangbei Base Area"!

LI Zicheng. You have to take it well!

However, Kangxi at this time probably never thought that he would soon receive a new "anti-love", and someone in Guangdong was going to rebel again!

This Qing Dynasty is an anti-thief every year, and there are a lot of them this year!

"Lord Wang, Wang Fuchen and Wang Datou have reversed!"

"Lord Wang. You can't just ignore them! You don't care, when they finish dividing the land of Xiangshan, Xinning, and Xinhui counties, and then divide the land of eleven counties in Zhaoqing, they will come to fight Guangzhou City! ”

"Lord Wang, the father and son surnamed Wang are now acting completely in accordance with the "Heavenly Dynasty Tianmu System", and they must have entered the Heaven and Earth Society!"

"Lord Wang. Many officers and soldiers in the Wang family army have already cut their braids! ”

"Lord Wang, they are really reversed, you should send troops quickly!"

Outside the Big Buddha Temple in Guangzhou City, at this time, it has also become a gathering place for the broken landlord to sue and ask for soldiers. The owners who came to Guangzhou to sue and ask for troops were all from the three counties of Xiangshan, Xinning and Xinhui. They are all big landlords whose land has been "forcibly exchanged" by Wang Zhongxiao, and they always have to sue whether they have obtained the "Macao hukou" and "Xiangdao hukou" or not.

Moreover, their complaint was quite reasonable, because Wang Zhongxiao's Juntian in Xiangshan, Xinning, and Xinhui counties was strictly in accordance with the methods on the "Heavenly Dynasty Tianmu System".

In these three counties, Wang Datou did not carry out Wu Sangui's "guard system" or Li Zicheng's "government soldier system", but the most friendly and easiest to maintain for the poor and middle peasants, the plan of "dividing the fields" plus "village soldiers" and "five buckets of rice tax" (this is the standard for paddy fields in Guangdong).

In fact, the taxes of most Chinese dynasties were not high, even the "positive tax plus three salaries" at the end of the Ming Dynasty was actually not much. However, the three drawbacks of hard labor, unfair taxation, and too much room for grassroots operations have always existed.

Because the labor was unpaid, the local officials often did not spare the servants, and even wantonly mistreated the people who served.

The injustice of taxation is divided into injustice between regions and injustice between the gentry and the common people. For example, Guangdong had a serious problem of unfair taxation in the Ming Dynasty - Cantonese people paid too little tax! It's so unfair!

The total amount of land tax determined by Guangdong during Zhang Juzheng's reform in the Wanli year was less than 1 million stones, and Shaanxi had 1.75 million stones!

Moreover, there were three major towns in Shaanxi: Ningxia, Yulin, and Gansu (at that time, Shaanxi and Gansu were not divided into provinces), and the land population under the jurisdiction of these military towns was not included in the total land tax of each province. And the amount of taxes borne by the military households in the guard station far exceeds that of the civilian households!

In addition, after the Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, most of the provincial taxes could be converted into silver to collect silver. And Guangdong is a sea trade center, and the silver is much better than Shaanxi! Foshan iron industry, Chaozhou ceramics, as well as silk, tea, sugar. If you take one out, you can get a boatload of silver from the foreign devils.

As soon as there is more silver, agricultural products will naturally be more expensive, and the tax pressure on farmers will be lighter.

Therefore, the suffering of Cantonese people in taxes cannot be compared with that of Shaanxi people. The reason why Cantonese people love Daming more in history is probably here, right?

The taxes of the Ming Dynasty are so small, and the smuggling does not care (it can't be controlled), and it is casual to go to Nanyang, and there are no vassal kings in Guangdong. once sealed a Zhu Zhanqi to Shaozhou, but this product didn't like Guangdong very much, and he didn't go to Jiangxi to harm the people of Jiangxi after many years.

In addition, tax inequality between regions does not only exist between provinces, but also within a province, or even within a prefecture, and different counties will have different tax collection standards.

In addition to the injustice of taxation between regions, the tax preference of the gentry and landlords was a great injustice!

The more injustice, the more room for the officials and gentry at the grassroots level to operate! The more room they have to operate, the more injustice there will be, and this is basically a vicious circle, which will eventually lead to a large number of bankruptcies of small farmers and accelerate land annexation!

In order to maintain the results of Juntian for as long as possible, Wang Zhongxiao formulated a "high tax rate", low military service, no conscription (hired service), no apportionment, no preferential tax and military service program, as a supporting package for Juntian.

And how did he toss, it was not only the local landlords and gentry who were hurt, but even the officials who controlled the township were also very dissatisfied! In addition, his set of laws on land equalization, taxation, and military service are all different from the system of the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, it is not surprising that a large group of people went to Guangzhou to sue the Wang family for rebellion!
