"Then what should we do? Do we have to wait for the Dog Emperor to die of old age?" A man in brocade clothes said angrily.
Taking someone's money is like killing your parents! The current peace and contentment of the Ming Dynasty is based on the "exploitation" of the wealthy households in the Ming Dynasty.
For hundreds of years, tax evasion has been the prerogative of the powerful, and the court has always turned a blind eye.
But the little emperor was not like that.
In order to make money, regardless of propriety, justice and integrity, he not only abolished everyone's tax-free land but also made Wei Zhongxian's dead eunuch impose taxes everywhere.
If it hadn't been for the people's rebellion and the Dog Emperor killing all the local tyrants around the area, everyone would have gotten up long ago to deal with this tyrant together.
"Except for the equipment, the soldiers we trained are no worse than the imperial army, but this equipment gap cannot be offset by courage."
Zuo Liangyu said.
"As far as I know, the weapons equipped by these Ming soldiers can penetrate iron armor at a distance of 30 feet. Unless we set up an ambush, even ten times the fully armed troops will not be able to break through the Ming army."
Unlike other people, Zuo Liangyu was the one who had sex with Jiannu after all. He was quite clear about the difference between Jiannu and Ming soldiers.
In his opinion, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were far inferior to the Jiannu in terms of military discipline and physical fitness.
The reason why the Ming Dynasty was able to drive out the slaves was not only because of the large number of people, but more importantly, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were equipped with much more powerful firearms than before. ,
Zuo Liangyu, who boarded the pirate ship, was well aware of the power of firearms and had repeatedly advised the superiors to find ways to assemble a batch of Ming Dynasty standard firearms.
But now, they haven't even seen Mao.
Although I also have craftsmen here and have made some firecrackers that look pretty good, people with a discerning eye can see right away.
These firecrackers are just rubbish compared to the firecrackers of the Ming Dynasty army.
Moreover, in order to avoid the eyes of the imperial court, the number of troops he trained was less than 3,000. Including the soldiers trained by others, the total number of soldiers trained by all those who were dissatisfied with the emperor was only 20,000 trees.
And what about Ming Dynasty? There are at least 1 million soldiers in the army in various places. If we add the soldiers from the guards in various places, the imperial army will start with at least 2 million people.
20,000 versus 2 million, coupled with the equipment gap, now it has become a joke to think about the intention to disrupt Jiangnan and force the court to rule the world together with the scholar-bureaucrats.
"Forgetting that the imperial army is so powerful, we'd better take a long-term approach."
A man in brocade clothes retreated inwardly.
Human nature is driven by profit-seeking, and fear of death is even more natural!
Why in history was it difficult for the Ming Dynasty to collect wages from the north, but there was not much resistance to establishing slaves?
That's because Ming Dynasty treated them as human beings and reasoned with them, while Jiannu directly attacked them. Anyone who dared to disobey would be immediately stuck.
Since the imperial court moved north, there have been problems with taxation in the south. ,
Up and down the court, who knows how many officials are dogs raised by powerful landlords in the south?
The emperor had no choice but to send eunuchs down to collect taxes.
But often the result is that people rebel. .
The court chose to appease the situation for the sake of the overall situation, and then the cycle continued.
Knowing that the Ming Dynasty was over, the Han people had been slaves for hundreds of years.
But the current Emperor of Ming Dynasty is Zhu Youjian, and Zhu Youjian cannot tolerate sand in his eyes.
Zhu Youjian never cared about the background and consequences.
With the army in hand, who will rebel and destroy whom?
Don’t you see, how many powerful people in Nanjing have been killed and exiled?
How many places in the Ming Dynasty did the powerful have their tail between their legs?
