After Chen Qingsong received Zhao Xin's telegram, he stayed up all night. He rarely smoked and smoked two full packs of cigarettes. Qing He, who was already living with him, saw how worried Fatty Chen was and didn't sleep well all night.
In fact, Chen Qingsong was not uncomfortable, but excited. The twenty-five words sent by Zhao Xin made him think too much. From them, he already understood the key to how to solve the problem of landlords and squires, and also completely understood the core of how Beihai Town got rid of the bad habits of the feudal era. He even thought of more. many......
By the way, why is Zhao Xin so confident in handing over civil affairs affairs to Chen Qingsong? Without him, the two of them looked at the problem from the same perspective and had many similar ideas about the development of Beihai Town. This gave Zhao Xin a feeling of like-mindedness and tacit cooperation.
Why does Beihai Town want to publicize land? Zhao Xin initially wanted to control the refugees under his control, but after a few years, the economic benefits gradually emerged, that is, one response to a hundred responses.
From an economic point of view, Beihai Town is a political entity with complete economic sovereignty, which is based on an economic foundation led by the unique capital represented by Zhao Xin. Because of the existence of the freak Zhao Xin, the mountains, forests, factories, ports and all production materials in Beihai Town are all publicly owned and can also be said to belong to Zhao Xin; other time travelers are just working for this "freak" , or that he is working for Beihai Town, which makes no sense at all.
Whether they are modern cross-country people or poor farmers, rich farmers, and homesteaders from island countries or the Qing Dynasty, they can only rely on Zhao Xin, or it can be said that they rely on this public ownership for their existence. Because the local residents were refugees, they had almost no assets when they came; and even if someone brought money, they couldn't spend it at all in Beihai Town.
The initial food, clothes, houses and even means of production are all given to you by this regime. Silver and copper coins are of no use here! And no one would think of using the money they brought to settle the bill with Beihai Town. Don't spend money to buy what was given for free?
Even if Beihai Town marched westward and captured Ninggu Pagoda, Hunchun and even the entire Jilin General Mansion, the industrial system built by Zhao Xin with the income from several gold mines did not need to negotiate with the gentry class to take over the land and production means. There is no need for the economic benefits brought by the feudal system at all. The existence of the Beihai Navy is proof that this is Zhao Xin's "violent iron fist" to obtain the fundamental asset of land.
In fact, it is still the question of cheese. If you want to touch the cheese on the Manqing plate, only through violence can you completely get the economic foundation of the Manchu state power. From this, the regime of Beihai Town can lead and complete the industrialization process of the entire China.
Precisely because the economy is dominated by political entities, it is difficult to go bankrupt. In this time and space, China is already the world's largest economic entity based on its land output (silk, tea, porcelain). What if industrialization is added to it?
If the economic foundation of feudal society is not completely taken away, the country can only be governed by the gentry and talented people. Even if you want to restrict these people one day, because the most important capital, land, is in their hands, nothing will be accomplished in the end, or people will die and the government will cease. There were countless such people in the history of Chinese feudal society, such as Chao Cuo, Wang Anshi, Zhang Juzheng, and Yongzheng of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Yes, everything is based on economic issues. The economic foundation determines the superstructure, determines the structure of the political power, determines the judicial system, and determines whose interests the political power represents.
What kind of joke is it that an industrialized country does not care about its economic foundation? Which regime in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, would dare to say this?
If Zhao Xin wants to abolish slavery, eliminate infanticide, and ensure that farmers have enough to eat, but he can't even control the country's most important capital and allows land to be privatized and waits for feudal landlords, big and small, to compete with him, isn't that a trap for himself?
Without this, there would be no talk of expelling the Tartars. The Republic of China era in another time and space is the best proof. When one emperor stepped down, countless "emperors" came and went.
If someone wants to privatize capital under Zhao Xin, well, the only way is to kill Zhao Xin. Because without the freak Zhao Xin, there would be no capital accumulation for the Beihai Town regime. In a sense, all capital belongs to Zhao Xin; if he can't kill him and wants to solve the problem through redemption, who has so much money? ?
Regardless of whether it is easy to kill Zhao Xin, the reason why Zhao Xin developed so many "gold medal spies" is to prevent someone from doing this one day.
The reason why Yu Deli resigned from his position in school and followed Zhao Xin was that he had actually seen the key point very early. To him, it didn't matter whether Zhao Xin was emperor or not. Even if the country does not have an emperor in the future, Zhao Xin will still be an emperor without a crown. All he was worried about was that one day Zhao Xin would get mad and initiate some kind of enfeoffment system.
But this is only as long as Zhao Xin is alive, after him, no one can do it. Therefore, once Zhao Xin is gone, Beihai Town will inevitably evolve into a regime dominated by public ownership; this is not a question of who wants to be the emperor, but the political legacy left by Zhao Xin and those who fought for it.
It was only today that Chen Qingsong finally figured out this matter after a night of hard thinking.
In a word, Zhao Xin is Beihai Town!
If Zhao Xin had known that Comrade Chen could think of so many things from these twenty-five words, he would have been delighted to have another comrade.
Returning to the matter of squires and clans, Chen Qingsong has already seen clearly that not only does Beihai Town now have no need for squires, but as the Northern Navy goes south to attack the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the squire class will inevitably perish. Patriarchal society will definitely be replaced by state laws with the process of industrialization. This is an economic law, not a question of whether you like a patriarchal society or not.
The industrialized regime is bound to liberate the productive forces in the countryside. The regime will also first touch the countryside. The power to interpret laws and even culture will fall into the hands of the regime. In the feudal society, the gentry's power to interpret justice and even culture will naturally be lost to the industrialized regime. deprived of.
If those Manchu gentry and scholars could not see this truth clearly, they would only be swept into the dustbin of history. No one can escape, including Shen Jingdan.
Therefore, what Beihai Town needs to do now is to truly implement the industrialized political power into every residential community, from administration to justice, from culture and education to medical and health care, instead of just building a high-level central hospital and Beihai Town Primary School.
After thinking about all this, Chen Qingsong immediately started working at his desk. He was preparing to formulate a draft reform plan for the civil affairs system.
Qing He leaned on the chair and looked at the forty-year-old man in front of him with some distress, fearing that he would collapse from exhaustion. After this night, Chen Qingsong seemed to be a different person; nothing seemed to have changed, he was still the fat man who made her heart beat.
On the other side, after the Northern Navy and the Sendai Army completed their attack on Osumi Province, Date Village only left 500 people to garrison in Onezu, while the women and children who followed the troops were left behind in Onezu. .
Zhao Xin ordered the Sendai Clan army and the Northern Navy to help the Dagenzhan locals repair their houses, clean up the ruins, and leave a batch of food behind. Then he ordered the troops to board the ship and head towards Isu County across the strait.
Looking at the ship that was gradually moving away, the women on the beach and the released Xiang Yong had expressionless faces, but their hearts were complicated and unspeakable. Compared with the ferocity of the acting officials and minor officials of the feudal dynasty in collecting the annual tribute, regardless of the life and death of the villagers, this army that sent people to treat the villagers, help repair houses, and even distribute food gave them a glimpse of A different hope.
Just as the Northern Navy was preparing to launch the second phase of its offensive across the sea, the Shimazu family in Kagoshima Castle had already learned that Osumi had been captured, and there was an uproar. They did not expect that the offensive of the Northern Navy and Sendai Army could be so fierce. In less than a month, they had already conquered four cities. In view of this, Shimazu Shigego, who specially landed from Hyuga Country and rushed back to Kagoshima Castle, immediately sent people to ask for help from the Kumamoto Clan in Higo, the Fukuoka Clan in Chikuzen, and the Saga Clan in Hizen.
It was too late to ask for help from Edo, and let alone the shogunate's reputation, the Sendai clan was openly rebelling if they dared to do this.
At the same time, the current head of the family, Shimazu Sainobu, once again issued an order to the outer mountain counties and cities in various places, requiring those small outer mountain counties and cities to retreat to large strongholds as soon as possible if they find the enemy approaching, so as to gather more people and unite to fight against the Sendai rebels. Fight to the death.
However, the speed of the North Navy's actions completely exceeded the Shimazu family's imagination. Ten days later, the three cities of Isu County fell one after another. The Thor and Hokkai No. 1 and No. 2 also arrived carrying the Sendai Clan's first reinforcements of 5,000 men.
Date Murachang was overjoyed, and immediately left 300 people to guard each of the three places of Yamakawa, Ewa and Ibusuki in Isu County. Immediately afterwards, the troops of the Northern Navy rushed to Sakurajima.
The volcano on Sakurajima is an active volcano. It erupted nine years ago in the 8th year of Ernst, which is known in history as the "Ernst Eruption". At that time, the series of volcanic eruptions erupted an area of 1.7 cubic kilometers of magma and about 0.4 cubic kilometers (400 million cubic meters) of flying rocks. The Satsuma Domain reported 153 deaths and total agricultural losses of more than 23,000 koku.
Despite the harsh environment, there are twenty villages scattered throughout Sakurajima Island, and the local bureaucracy is located on the westernmost side of Hengshan, near the seaside.
(By the way, Sakurajima’s specialties are satsuma tangerines and large radish. The radish is really big, weighing dozens of kilograms each.)
When the weather is good, you can clearly see Yokoyama Town from the Shimazu family's Tsurunomaru Castle. The distance between the two places is only five kilometers; and the narrowest point of the sea between Sakurajima and Kagoshima Town is only 2 kilometers. more. So when four large ships of the Northern Navy appeared in the sight of the defenders at Sakurajima Observation Tower, Shimazu Shigehiro and his son in Tsurunomaru Castle quickly received the news.
Tsurunomaru is a flat castle, and because of concerns about the Tokugawa family, the Shimadzu family did not dare to build a castle. In fact, the same is true for Sendai Domain. There is only one tall and vast temple in Aoba Castle and no castle.
(How dare you build a castle tower for a foreign daimyo? That’s asking for death! Those authors who constantly say that Kagoshima Castle has a castle tower can just go to sleep.)
Standing on a nearby hill, Shimazu Shigehiro looked through the Dutch monocular and saw the four large ships moored on the sea, and his eyes nearly dropped to the ground.
This is not the arrival of the traitor from Sendai, it is simply the arrival of the evil god!
The more Shimazu Shigehao thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, and he couldn't help but curse Beihai Town and Zhao Xinlai. When you attacked Sendai and Edo, you used one boat, but when you attacked me, the Shimazu family actually sent four ships. This is too disrespectful to the Shimazu family.
Thinking that his family's fate was at stake, the 42-year-old Shigehao Shimazu suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his chest. He covered his heart and staggered a few steps. A mouthful of blood spurted out, and the retainers around him suddenly panicked.
"Come on, Commander-in-Chief!"
"Hurry and help the chief guard back!"
"Quick~~Send someone to ask Tang Yi for peace..." Shimazu Shigehao said through gritted teeth, and immediately passed out.
Two hours later, the Satsuma Navy bravely dispatched. The Shimadzu family spent all their wealth, and even requisitioned cargo ships and fishing boats in the port.
Although I knew it would be difficult to defeat the big ships in Beihai Town, I was bullied and it would be too shameful to hide in the port and not dare to come out. After all, the Satsuma family is also a big name worth 770,000 koku, so they have a different face!
Four big boats are facing off against the hundreds of Benzai, Anzai, and small boats of the Satsuma navy. If they can't beat you, they have to show off their formations and scare you to death. If you lose, you won't lose the formation, right? !
Well, it's true that we sent someone over to negotiate first. The chief warden has already spoken. Fighting and killing is not the style of the current Satsuma Navy.
The Shimadzu family sent Kajiki, the sixth generation of the Shimazu family, and Shimazu Hisao, the second seat of the imperial family. This attitude cannot be said to be insincere. And when he saw Zhao Xin, he knelt down directly on the ground and gave a grand ceremony of three kneels and nine kowtows, which almost shocked the jaws of everyone present.
"It seems that the Shimazu family is really scared. They just want to survive this test and have nothing to worry about." Everyone present was thinking.
"My lord, Shimazu Kusei, please pay your respects to Prince Zhao!" After the ceremony, Shimazu Kusei stood up and dusted off his clothes, ignoring Date Murasune and another Tamura village employee.
The Tamura villager came with the reinforcements of the Sendai clan. This person was the fifth seat of the Sendai clan and was the lord of the Ichinoseki clan. Seeing Shimazu Jiuzheng's look, he immediately shouted loudly: "The Shimazu family is very rude, why don't you salute us?!"
"I pay homage to King Zhao because he is a descendant of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He dominates the land of the North Sea and is just around the corner to conquer the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains. Moreover, our country has Taibo Wu as its ancestor, so why not become ministers? You are just the ministers of Gongfang. , you and I are of equal status, why come to meet and talk?"
Zhao Xin was almost happy when he heard this. There are people in the Shimadzu family who understand! Know who you can offend and who you can't offend. Instead of asking for a dog, it's better to ask for the owner. And in order to promote Zhao Xin, they actually moved "Taibo Wu" out.
Date Murasune and Tamura Murasaki just sneered after hearing this. Surrender negotiations? Stop it! What the Sendai Clan wants is territory, the Ryukyu trade that the Shimazu family regards as their lifeblood. If I let you go today, tomorrow your Satsuma army can fight to Aoba Castle together with the Tokugawa family. Don't say kneel down when the time comes, you won't be able to spare us even if we are dogs!
I heard Zhao Xin ask Shimazu Hisashi: "What do you want to talk about on behalf of the Shimazu family?"
Shimazu Kyushu bowed and said: "Promise your vassal and cease your troops."
Zhao Xin smiled faintly, shook his head and said: "There is no need to declare yourself a vassal. The Shimazu family has no affiliation with Beihai Town. What are the conditions for the Shimazu family to cease their troops?"
"I would like to use the thirty-six islands of Ryukyu to implore King Zhao to withdraw his troops."
"Oh?" Zhao Xin narrowed his eyes, thinking that the Satsuma clan still regarded Ryukyu as a dish in their bowl. He looked at Shimazu and said, "Is there more?"
"The Shimazu family is willing to marry the Qin and Jin Dynasties with a daughter and Zhao Wangdian, and Kagoshima City can trade with Beihai Town."
Tamura Murasaki on the side suddenly sneered: "What a joke! Does Mr. Kamikado have a daughter now?"
Date Murasune also helped: "What does Satsuma Domain have? Lacquerware? Hahaha~~"
Shimazu Shigehao did have many children, but the eldest daughter died young, and the second daughter and the third daughter were all married, especially the third daughter, Moki, who was the wife of the sea dog; none of the four, five, and six daughters survived to adulthood, and those seven Eighty-nine or even twelve girls are still twisting in a certain woman's calf.
I just heard Shimazu Kusama say: "It's my little girl Masahime."
Zhao Xin asked curiously: "How old is your beloved?"
"Twelve years old. It's a great time."
(Historically, this Masahime actually became the adopted daughter of Shimazu Shigehao, and later married Shimazu Tadamochi, the lord of the Satohara domain. She lived until the age of 37, and was known as "Eihoin-don's Fragrant Reputation Kiyoshi Kaori Ryucao Sister"; Big sister is big sister.)
Seeing Zhao Xin's sudden silence, Date Village Tsune and Tamura Village Capital thought that Zhao Xin was tempted, and they thought he was going to be evil, so they quickly leaned over and whispered: "Your Highness, there are many girls with excellent talents and beauty in this domain. I want to Which Highness do you want to say a word to me!"
Zhao Xin smiled and nodded, thinking that he was going to get away! I want the golden mountain.
