Chapter 377: The New Emperor Takes Office with Three Flames! Either become the Holy Monarch of Zhongxing, or become the King of the Dead Country!
Emperor Chongzhen made Chan and became the emperor.
The crown prince Zhu Cihong ascended the throne and became the emperor, and the era name was Zaixing.
From the next year, the year of Chongzhen will be changed to the first year of revival.
On the day of his accession to the throne, he announced that he would marry Wu Xiang's daughter, Wu Sangui's sister, and Wu Sanmei.
and made her queen.
The Wu family can be said to have flown to the branches all of a sudden and turned into a phoenix.
With the announcement of this news, the stones in the hearts of Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui completely fell to the ground.
Although before that, they all got a promise from Emperor Taizu Gao.
And in the way of a holy decree, Wu Sanmei was given the crown princess.
But since coming here, there have been various things to keep busy.
did not let the crown prince Zhu Cihong and Wu Sanmei get married.
Wu Xiang is in his eyes and anxious in his heart.
Although I think that this matter was promised by Emperor Taizu Gao, and he also issued a holy decree and announced it to the world, he should not be repaid.
But after coming to Nanjing City, with Emperor Taizu Gao, all kinds of things continued to be made.
has gradually gained a firm foothold, and it is no longer as critical as it was in Beiping City.
Their Wu family no longer has an irreplaceable position as before.
After all, at this time, in addition to their Wu family, Emperor Taizu Gao had already gathered a lot of soldiers and horses that could be used.
He couldn't help but be a little worried, whether Emperor Taizu Gao would repay his debts.
In some major matters, before the result appears, it will make people who are worried about it.
I'm afraid that something will happen.
Fortunately, the accident did not happen.
Emperor Taizu Gao still kept his promise.
Not just keep promises, but give more at once!
The crown prince Zhu Cihong became the emperor so early.
His daughter also became the queen directly, and he became the ruler!
's own son became the uncle of the country.
A royal relative of the Eight Classics!
This surprise is too great!
Originally, Wu Xiang still felt that according to Emperor Chongzhen's physical state and age.
Live for another twenty years, and it's absolutely fine.
His quasi-son-in-law, Zhu Cihong, will be the crown prince for at least another twenty years before he can become the emperor.
If you want to become the ruler of the country, I'm afraid that it is very likely that everyone will burp, and you may not be able to do it.
But who would have thought that all of a sudden everything changed.
With the order of Emperor Taizu Gao, Emperor Chongzhen let the crown prince ascend the throne and became the emperor.
Their family directly became a serious royal relative.
What kind of luck is this!
In this case, Wu Xiang is especially grateful for the choice he made under this.
I am even more grateful to Emperor Taizu Gao for this great opportunity.
Let them make the Wu family a relative of the emperor!
Originally, after seeing the methods of Emperor Taizu Gao, he was already Wu Xiang who was dead set on the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, he became the national ruler, and his daughter became the queen, and she was even more loyal to the Ming Dynasty.
I made up my mind directly, and then I must serve Daming well, regardless of what gains and losses.
Not only does he have to his son Wu Sangui, but he also fights harder.
He also sent his third son, Wu Sanfu, to fight in the army.
At the same time, he also directly expelled Wu Sanfeng, the eldest son who was captured by Jiannu and surrendered to Jiannu before this, from his own Wu family......
People's joys and sorrows are not the same, Wu Xiang is happy, but there are many people who are not happy at all.
For example, those who are looking forward to it, many Jiangnan gentry class.
After learning the news that Emperor Chongzhen was going to give up and the crown prince Zhu Cihong was going to ascend the throne as emperor.
The many gentry who had been panicking and angry because of the spread of the land into the acres suddenly became no longer worried.
They were all convinced, this was the method used by Emperor Hongwu and Chongzhen and others before this.
deliberately released rumors, saying that they would implement what to spread into the mu, and the fire consumption would be returned to the public.
Trigger their panic, anger and many other feelings of dissatisfaction.
Then after the new emperor Zhu Cihong ascended the throne, he took the initiative to announce that he would never implement these three articles.
With the previous foreshadowing, it will be announced at this time.
That's even better than an amnesty!
can win over a lot of people and appease people's hearts at once.
This trick can be said to be an empty glove white wolf.
But the effect is also really good.
It is really possible to win over this by winning over many gentry and landlords.
As a result, the newly enthroned Zhu Cihong gained great prestige.
in favor of his rule.
The more they thought about it, the more they felt that this kind of speculation was reasonable and the truth of the matter.
Because these three policies are extremely fatal, it is equivalent to self-destruction of the Great Wall.
The emperor would never dare to do this!
Therefore, there is only one purpose for such rumors to come out.
is to let them have a false alarm, so as to create prestige for Zhu Cihong.
I have to say that people like Zhu Yuanzhang are really cunning and cunning!
didn't cost much money, just used such a trick, and with a false shot, he was able to manipulate people's hearts and get such a big benefit for Zhu Cihong!
This ability is really strong!
It's treacherous!
Then, while they were waiting with determination, Zhu Cihong gave them a huge surprise.
On the day of his accession to the throne, he directly announced that he would implement the apportionment into the mu in the entire Ming Dynasty, the fire consumption would be returned to the public, the gentry would be one errand, and the grain would be paid in one.
At the same time as the announcement, it also took the righteousness of the family and the country as the program, and analyzed and demonstrated from all aspects, the various difficulties encountered by the Ming Dynasty today, and the necessity of doing so.
And also announced on the spot, when the next policy is implemented.
Those who obstruct the implementation of these three policies in any form are ill-intentioned and ill-intentioned, and they will die in the Ming Dynasty!
It's a moth!
It is to stand on the opposite side of the Ming Dynasty!
It is an existence that is to be destroyed!
Anyone who dares to do this will become a sinner in history and an enemy of the Ming Dynasty!
For these people, there will not be any left hands in the imperial court.
It will be devastating.
Those Jiangnan gentry who were looking forward to it were stunned all of a sudden after getting the news.
How so?
Unexpectedly...... Really announced?
Or was it announced at the time of the emperor's accession to the throne?
Is it true that the court is here?
The imperial court has not promulgated it, not so that Zhu Cihong can announce the cancellation, strive for great prestige, and gain the support of himself and others.
Rather, it is to wait specifically for the new emperor to announce, so as to burn three fires!
Although this new official has three fires in office, this fire is ...... It's burning too much, isn't it?!
How did this happen?
They want to make Zhu Cihong, the emperor, the king of the fallen country!
All of a sudden, the whole Jiangnan was shaken.
There was a strong effect like a big earthquake!
A lot of people are stunned!
After being stunned, he was furious.
I feel that this emperor, as well as this court, simply doesn't want to live!
However, one thing these people guessed was correct.
That is, before Zhu Yuanzhang, he released the news but never implemented it, and he was waiting for Zhu Cihong to implement it.
Of course, this does not mean that Zhu Cihong should carry the black pot.
As a result, Zhu Cihong was hated by countless people, and Zhu Cihong became the king of the dead country.
But Zhu Yuanzhang is ready to use such a means to increase the weight of Zhu Cihong.
Let him win the hearts of the people of the world!
Zhu Yuanzhang knows too well how much impact these three policies will have after they are promulgated and implemented.
Daming will be reborn and changed because of this!
At the same time, there are so many people who have benefited.
Hundreds of people will benefit from this.
Although this will cause many gentry and officials to hate Zhu Cihong.
But it will also be loved, and countless people whose lives have become better will be loved by the heart.
Those gentry are only a minority after all.
Moreover, there are many more to come, all of whom are to be defeated and destroyed.
Their resentment doesn't matter.
Zhu Cihong only needs to win the hearts of so many people.
After such a wave of things is done, Zhu Cihong's throne will become unshakable!
While it is true that there are some risks, it is a step to be taken anyway.
After Zhu Cihong ascends the throne, it is more advantageous to announce these things and implement them than to let Chongzhen announce and do these three things when he is in power.
As long as this matter is announced by Zhu Cihong, the new emperor.
Next, on my own side, I will complete it through various layouts.
So many glories will be attributed to Zhu Cihong's body.
In the future, Daming will become an iron bucket!
And Zhu Cihong will also be loved by countless people because of this.
There is no one to replace!
The throne is as solid as a mountain.
Even if Chongzhen, the emperor, wants to do something in the future, he will definitely not be able to win!
Zhu Yuanzhang was really painstaking in order to let Zhu Cihong sit well.
This is a serious way to help the horse, push it again, and send it on a ride.
Before announcing these things, Zhu Yuanzhang had already made a lot of arrangements in advance.
In order to meet the next counterattack of many Jiangnan gentry, preparations were made.
When it comes to fighting, Zhu Yuanzhang has never been afraid of anyone.
Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng are not opponents.
Not to mention these Jiangnan gentry literati!
They're a piece of!
At the same time as the policy was announced, it was also in full swing, and all kinds of people began to be arranged to implement these things as soon as possible.
At the same time, it is also stipulated that gentry and landlords who take the initiative to cooperate with the government to clear the acres of land and pay grain on errands can also receive certain preferential treatment.
It's not just about being strong.
However, the benefits are time-limited and limited to three months.
After three months, even if the latter takes the initiative to cooperate with the government, clear the acres of land, and pay grain on errands, they will no longer receive any preferential treatment.
However, it is obvious that Zhu Yuanzhang's preferential treatment will not play a role at all.
At least in the early stage, the government's side has not yet shown that it will not play a big role until it has a strong combat ability.
And after Zhu Cihong implemented these policies, a number of ministers in the court, and the kind of people who mostly worked for the emperor.
They all said that they were willing to obey the orders of the imperial court, cooperate with Qingzhang Tianmu, and pay grain as errands like ordinary people.
These officials in the court are quite supportive of these things.
After all, those who didn't support it had been sent away by Zhu Yuanzhang using strong means before this.
When I was in Beiping, I sent away a large number of them.
As soon as I came to Nanjing, I also sent a large number of them.
In this case, the rest of the people naturally did not dare to jump.
Moreover, many knowledgeable people also feel that the Ming Dynasty, with the arrival of Emperor Taizu Gao, is indeed rapidly undergoing earth-shaking changes.
It becomes different.
At such times, they don't look at these petty profits, they just do things well.
In the future, I will definitely gain more than I have now!
After all, the situation faced at this time, once you persist, you can win a big victory.
In fact, it is equivalent to opening the country again!
They have done a good job, and they are all the founding heroes!
Those who have made great contributions can be crowned marquis and worship the prime minister!
There are not many opportunities like this!
In the entire Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years, there were only two times before that!
Once it was Emperor Hongwu, who drove out the Tartars and restored China.
Once again, decades later, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, launched the Jingyan Change.
These two battles created a large number of Wenchen fierce generals.
There are a lot of princely homes, which have been handed down from the Hongwu period.
It can be said that the wealth is endless, and the country is resting together!
Many of them would not have gotten such an opportunity before.
Now, such an elusive opportunity suddenly appeared in front of me.
What can you hesitate about?
How can such a great opportunity be ruined for the sake of these petty profits?
……
"Brother Wu! It's the other way around! ”
In Changzhou, in the courtyard, the man who seemed to have a hot temper said with a red face.
"The Dog Emperor really doesn't give us any way to live!
Do you really think that he became the emperor, and what he said in this world is forgotten?
It's just looking for death!
Since the emperor doesn't know life or death, and doesn't cherish the Ming Dynasty, then we don't have to be polite!
It's time to teach the Dog Emperor a lesson and subvert the Ming Dynasty!
The children of the Zhu family, such people who have no talent and no virtue, and who do not respect us, are also worthy of being emperors?
He's worth it!
Next, let him see, who has the final say in this world?
Without our support, he's not a fart!! ”
"It's the other way around! It has to be reversed!
Brother Lin Xian, you are very right! Since this dog emperor is so ignorant, he toasts and does not eat and drink.
If you have to stand up to loyal and righteous people like us, you will not give us loyal ministers and righteous people a way to live.
Then we won't wait!
Anti-damn it! ”
Saying this, this Brother Wu slapped the table in front of him.
"I immediately wrote a letter and sent someone to the Qing Dynasty.
There are acquaintances there, and my friend has already submitted to the Qing Dynasty.
There's still some weight in talking there.
Let him operate over there a little bit more, and pass on our meaning.
It's best to let the nobles over there in the Qing Dynasty know our name.
In this way, we can get good treatment in the future. ”
"Okay, Brother Wu, I didn't expect you to have such a ability!
That's great! Then this time things are even more secure!
But Brother Wu, you must be careful when delivering the message, don't be caught......"
Don't worry, I understand this and will definitely do it well. ”
"Brother Wu, I will also contact someone immediately, and give a good explanation to those mud-legged people below, and misinterpret the meaning of the Dog Emperor.
Tell the mud-legged people below that the court wants their lives.
and to seize their fields, and give them to the great soldiers......
As long as we agitate a little more and misinterpret the meaning of the imperial court.
Then next, there will definitely be a lot of mud-legged people who will work with us to deal with the imperial court.
As long as they make a fuss, then many things will not be easy to implement.
There are also people in the yamen, and I know some of them.
The matter of returning the fire to the public is very dissatisfied......
"Okay, okay, Brother Lin Xian, you can do this, and you have to contact more people to do it together.
Let the Dog Emperor see our energy! ”
The man quickly departed, with some smugness and some cruelty......
……
After he returned, while arranging things, he gathered the tenants of the family and some of the surrounding villagers......
"The imperial court won't give us a way to live! I thought that the new emperor would grant amnesty to the world when he ascended the throne, but how could I have imagined that it would be even worse!
It's going to bleed on our necks!
There are many strategies that sound good on the surface.
But that's not the case.
It's all made by the emperor in order to obtain benefits, and he collects more taxes from us.
Concoct various pretexts!
According to what the Dog Emperor came up with, we will have to pay at least 30% more taxes in the future.
Our days were already hard, but now our days are even harder......"
As soon as this person surnamed Lin said this, many people immediately turned pale!
Life was already very hard.
If this is done again, then what will they do?
"We can't help it, originally you could still take refuge in our name and accept our asylum, so that you can live.
Life is not so miserable.
Don't be bullied by the government in every way.
But now, the newly enthroned Dog Emperor has issued an order that we will not be allowed to shelter you people in the future.
These lands that you put in our names will also have to pay money and food, and they will not be spared......"
The man surnamed Lin sighed secretly as he spoke.
It looks like it's all for the sake of these people.
After hearing his words, many people immediately panicked.
Some people were so anxious that they cried on the spot.
Why is this dog court like this? Isn't this not giving them a way to live?
Originally, they had to rely on the names of these lords who did not have to pay land taxes to the imperial court in order to get shelter.
Pay less money.
As a result, now, even the eldest master can no longer shelter them?
Isn't this for them to die?!
How will we live in the future?
There was an uproar.
Some people are crying angrily, and some people are scolding there, and the crowd is angry!
Seeing the reactions of these people, this squire surnamed Lin couldn't help but glance at several other respected people.
I smiled in my heart, with pride.
These people are all highly respected people in the township.
They have the final say in many things in the township.
The various policies of the various imperial courts were conveyed by them.
Even a lot of taxes and so on, they helped to complete it.
These people, naturally, listen to them.
The various policies of the imperial court can be distorted indiscriminately when they come here.
Say whatever you want.
And now, these methods that they used to use in the past are used again, and the effect is amazing!
Just look at the reactions of these people, and they know that this Jiangnan is going to be a mess next!
These mud legs are so easy to coax, so easy to deceive!
They are easy to coax and deceive, otherwise, how can they and others benefit?
Next, let these mud-legged people fight hard with the court!
They sit in the back and enjoy the benefits of the fisherman.
When the mud legs were put together, the court compromised, and they used the benefits of these mud legs in exchange, and then enjoyed and ruled over these mud legs......
Until they finish up these mud legs, they will never compromise with the imperial court!
"Master Lin, this ...... Right? How did I hear that the imperial court will carry out apportionment into the mu, which means that the poll tax will no longer be collected in the future.
It is necessary to get all these poll taxes into the field tax, and only collect taxes according to the number of acres of land.
In the future, it doesn't matter how many more people are born in someone's family, and there is no need to pay an extra penny to the imperial court......"
It was at this time that suddenly a different voice sounded.
"That's right! Master Lin, I also heard that the imperial court implements these systems, and there is really no way for the big lords to cover us anymore.
But...... The imperial court did not collect taxes indiscriminately.
It's just that the poll tax is put into the field tax.
And in the future, you lords, you will also pay the field tax with us and pay the grain on errands. ”
"Yes, yes! I also heard that the imperial court also directly stipulated that the fire consumption should be returned to the public.
From now on, the imperial court stipulates that we will pay as much grain as we want.
I won't be manipulated by those errand boys anymore......"
Hearing these discordant voices, Master Lin, who was secretly proud, and some of the rest of the people were all shocked.
Then his face turned gloomy.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You know! I don't know a single word in Douda, and I'm still talking nonsense here?
How much do I know about you?! ”
was reprimanded like this, the person who spoke turned red, but immediately stiffened his neck and said: "I don't have as much knowledge as Master Lin, but Master Zhang Xiucai is a well-informed."
Before that, he told us clearly. ”
"Yes, yes! That's what Zhang Xiucai said. ”
Soon, someone invited that Zhang Xiucai.
Na Xiucai also brought a proclamation stamped with the official seal.
There is a very detailed explanation of the three policies.
It's in the vernacular.
In order to be able to make the people at the bottom understand.
It was before this that Zhang Xiucai joined a member of the propaganda department made by Han Cheng.
After Zhang Xiucai arrived, he told everyone the emperor's policy word by word.
Say that this is the emperor's grace and explain it to them. In the future, once all three of these things are implemented, how much will the ordinary people benefit?
With his explanation, the people who were originally excited.
It didn't take long for a different place.
Gather around him and ask questions.
If this is true, they will have to thank the new emperor for this!
Zhang Xiucai affirmed what they asked and gave a detailed explanation.
The old man Lin, who was originally very determined, had a green face.
scolded Lin Xiucai there and talked nonsense.
But this Lin Xiucai is obviously a person who has seen the world, where will he be scared? -for-tat on the spot.
So much so that later, many tenants and ordinary people looked at Master Lin and these people, and their eyes became a little different......
Similar things happen everywhere in Jiangnan.
After Han Cheng came here, the Propaganda Department that he had set up had gradually improved by this time.
And is playing an extremely important role.
Originally, all the rights of interpretation of the local people were vested in the local gentry.
But now, because of Han Cheng's arrival, there is also the existence of the Propaganda Division.
On this, Han Cheng tore a hole very strongly.
In addition, many people in this propaganda department were originally scholars.
There are even many of them who are famous.
When it comes to these things, it's also very convincing.
The existence of the Propaganda Division also made many gentry who wanted to make trouble hate.
I always feel like there are a lot of traitors in them!
These dog things, don't you know that at such a critical moment, they want to unite together?
Of course, in such moments, the Department of Propaganda can play a big role.
But it can't be taken care of everywhere.
Soon people in some places began to riot and rebel!
Ready to put pressure on the emperor......
……
In Beiping City, Fan Wencheng took a letter and trotted all the way to see Dolgon......
"Regent! Good news! Good news! ”
He said in unison, smiling like a chrysanthemum...... (End of chapter)
