"Hahahaha! Okay! Okay! The person named Zhu is out of luck!!"
In Beidu City.
In a restaurant.
Several anonymous former Qing Huang belts looked overjoyed.
One of them was drinking heavily and did not speak.
He was General Lin Ning of Shengjing who led the Eight Banners outside the Pass to fight the Ming army.
After his defeat, he was stripped of his crown and asked to stand trial.
As a result, because the Qing court was too busy taking care of itself, he was not dealt with as a prisoner in the end.
As a result, many Ming army officers who invaded Beidu were confused.
They released all the criminals from Qing Dynasty prisons.
It was under this situation that Lin Ning gained freedom in a daze.
But wait until he comes out.
The Qing Dynasty is gone.
Emperor Qianlong was put on public trial, and his two sons also surrendered respectively. The Eight Banners of Manchuria and the Eight Banners of Mongolia were reorganized into the Ming Dynasty's Western Expeditionary Army and were dragged out to fight the Russians.
The one who was cheering loudly was Lin Ning's old subordinate Song Shan'e.
These Eight Banners outside the Pass, which were scattered on the battlefield, are now somewhat gathered in Beidu.
He lived anonymously and lived a peaceful life.
However, there are always some people who are not willing to do so.
For example, Songshan'e.
He actually pulled several bannermen who were similar to him.
For example, Vicente was waiting by his side.
There is also another person who is said to be Liu Guangliang, a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty who rebelled against the Ming Dynasty when he was in Nanyang.
I really didn't expect it.
The Qing Dynasty had this land, but there were still slaves.
Lin Ning actually didn't want to get involved in these things.
But there was nothing he could do. After he was released from prison, he had no food or clothing, and relied entirely on Song Shan'e and his small group to provide for him.
After all, Lin Ning's surname is Aixinjueluo, and she is a descendant of Nurhachi, but not of the Huang Taiji branch.
So the relationship is still quite distant.
Now that I have changed my surname to Bai, I am now called Bai Ning.
And Song Shan'e didn't dare to call her Song Shan'e, but changed her name to Shen Song.
In Beidu City.
There are still quite a lot of fish that slipped through the net of the Eight Banners.
After all, the Ming Dynasty was a feudal dynasty, and it was not the Desan of later generations. How could it have such great organizational capabilities and grassroots control.
In addition, Emperor Zhu did not kill all the Eight Banners, so after a period of time, these fish that slipped through the net changed their names and came out to act.
However, there are not many people like Shen Song who are determined to "reverse the Ming and restore the Qing".
Therefore, the number of people in his small team is not large.
Hardcore players like Liu Guangliang and Vicente are considered the core members.
"Sir, look, look, the man named Zhu is going to offend the gentry all over the world now. The gentry all over the world should know about my Qing Dynasty now."
Shen Song smiled.
He pointed to the just-published [Sun and Monthly Newspaper], which stated that Emperor Zhu wanted to carry out a real-name property classification system across the country, rectify the land tax in the southeast, and implement a reform of the tax-sharing system.
Vicente echoed: "Emperor Zhu was so proud that he actually made three stupid moves in a row. God will not stop our Qing Dynasty! We have hundreds of thousands of Lebao Ye's troops outside the Qing Dynasty, and there are people with lofty ideals from all over the country inside to support us, and there are The Emperor of the Zhu family has made a series of stupid moves, and when the world is in chaos, Le Bao will be able to lead his troops back from India!"
Coming back from India?
Do you know how far is India?
It took Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty more than ten years to travel to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.
Call back
Bai Ning thought so in his heart, but said: "It's better to be more cautious. Zhu Daohua can enter this market and it's not easy to deal with."
"Master, I calmly know that he is difficult to deal with." Shen Song shook his head and said. "But no matter how powerful he is, he can oppose all the scholar-officials in the world, and make enemies of all the scholars in the world? If the scholars in the world turn their backs on the Ming Dynasty and turn to the Qing Dynasty, won't we, the Qing Dynasty, still be able to come back?"
"Isn't there no Qing Dynasty now?" Bai Ning shook his head and said.
Since his defeat in the Northeast, he was almost beheaded by Qianlong.
Now I am somewhat disheartened.
I don’t really want to continue fighting and killing.
I heard that several of his sons were working in Zhengxi Dusi, so he didn't really want to get involved in Shen Song's affairs, so as not to implicate his sons.
But Shen Song was determined to get him to join the gang. Looking at his posture, he valued his identity.
Hear Bai Ning's words.
Several people present were a little frustrated.
Liu Guangliang was so frustrated that he said: "That's true. The Qing Dynasty is gone, so of course the world's scholars dare to be angry and dare not speak out. Moreover, Emperor Zhu did not take action sooner or later. He will not take action after the Qing Dynasty is gone." The trick is to realize that there are not many scholars in the world who dare to rebel."
"Yes, it will take ten years for a scholar to rebel," Bai Ning said.
"Although Emperor Zhu's new policy is certainly dissatisfying to the literati and officials all over the world, back then, Emperor Yongzheng also implemented the idea of paying grain to both officials and gentry. At the beginning, it was just a hornet's nest. What happened next?"
"Then he was mixed up!" Vicente shook his head and said, "It's so easy to deal with the gentry in this world."
"Whether it is the unified payment of taxes by the officials and the gentry or Emperor Zhu's New Deal, they are actually the same. They all want the gentry in the world to pay some taxes, but this is not easy. I think Emperor Zhu's New Deal will probably be the same as Emperor Yongzheng's. The officials and gentry all paid for themselves as one, and in the end they passed away in a daze."
"Since ancient times, hasn't it always been the case that the top says and the bottom does, and the top and bottom confuse each other, and things just go by in a daze?"
"We can't be confused! How can we be confused!" Shen Song patted the table, "I want to see what is going on with Emperor Zhu's new policy! Do the scholar-bureaucrats in the world dare to stand up and resist!"
The autumn harvest is approaching.
The richest region in the world.
The southeastern half of the Ming Dynasty has only a fraction of the world's land, and perhaps even less than one-tenth of the territory that the Ming Dynasty currently controls.
But it contributed at least more than 70% of the GDP and tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty.
It is an absolute money bag, the number one cow in the Ming Dynasty, the most critical and core economic center of the Ming Dynasty!
Both sides of the river.
The wind blows the rice flowers, and the fragrance of rice floats in the air, making people feel relaxed and happy.
The war is over.
The world seems to be entering a peaceful and prosperous era again.
The ships and steamships coming and going illustrate how prosperous commercial activities are along the Yangtze River waterway.
The heavy ears of rice stalks on both sides of the river also herald the arrival of a bumper harvest in autumn.
However.
in rural areas on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
But there was a sense of sadness.
The countryside of Changzhou Prefecture.
A group of farmers had just finished harvesting rice and were gathering together to smoke hookahs, huff and puff, and chat.
to be exact.
It’s about gathering together to complain.
Both inside and outside the words, they are complaining about this unfair world.
"My family only has two or three acres of dry land that cannot be watered. How come it has become a paddy field? We need to pay grain according to the standards for farming. The grain produced is not enough to pay the tax."
"Oh, it's the same in my family. Now the government wants to check the acres of land and insists on saying that all my family's fields are farmland. Alas, I can't survive this day."
"What can we do? If we pay taxes according to the rules of going to the fields, all the hard work for that year will be in vain."
"Are you going to make a living outside the customs like those tenants of the Li family?"
The heavy topic made the expressions of helplessness and pain appear on the faces of several farmers present.
