Chapter 583: Controversy

Yang Jing was originally criticizing the revisions in the warm-up hall, thinking about adding some weight to those unsupported opposition parties, because the one-man show is really boring, and some things must be solved and must be defeated. With their repeated downs, it is better to solve them at once.

Previously, Yang Jie felt that as long as you make some money and clean up the wild boar skins and clean up Li Zicheng based on what is said in many time travel novels, you will be fine in the Ming Dynasty and you can rest assured.

In fact, this is impossible. It is impossible for a country that has fallen to a collapse, relying solely on some military victory, to save the fate of collapse.

For example, in fact, the Ming Dynasty often had an advantage in the battle against Li Zicheng and others, and defeated Li Zicheng and others several times. Although the battle against wild boar skin was a loss overall, there were still some winning cases. These victories did not stop the Ming Dynasty from collapsing. There were also many military talents in the Ming Dynasty, such as Sun Chengzong, Qin Liangyu, Sun Chuanting, Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng, Li Dingguo, etc.

They all performed well in military affairs. Unfortunately, military victory could not save the collapsed Ming Dynasty. These great men could only be said to be military great men, not political. What the Ming Dynasty lacked was not military victory or military great men, but political great men, or in other words, lacked necessary political reforms. The fate of these military great men in the late Ming Dynasty was undoubtedly the exception to win in the military and lost in politics. Their destiny is a best example of the lack of necessary reforms in the Ming Dynasty.

To save the late Ming Dynasty, the era that was about to collapse, we can only carry out reforms or revolutions. If revolutions are made, it is impossible for an emperor. It is really a way to destroy one's own life, so it can only be reforms.

This is the truth that Yang Jing has been an emperor for such a long time and has been constantly understanding. Yang Jing shifted his goal from his original military victory to political victory and to the issue of reform.

"...I don't know how Master Sun's fight is..." Yang Jie muttered this sentence. The battle in Sanchahe involved too many resources, and it was difficult to deal with some things.

Wang Chengen was also serving him. Seeing the emperor nagging this, it was difficult to continue the conversation.

"Report, the great victory in Sanchahe, Liaodong..." A voice sounded.

"Report, the great victory in Sanchahe, Liaodong..." The voice shouted from afar, full of infinite excitement.

When Yang Jie heard this, he stood up and shouted: "Come in quickly..."

A eunuch ran into the warm room panting and shouted as soon as he came in: "Report to Your Majesty, great victory, great victory! Great victory in Sanchahe, Liaodong..."

Wang Chengen hurriedly took the good news from the eunuch and handed it to the emperor.

Yang Jing couldn't wait to take the good news. It seemed that when he saw it, he was filled with joy, breathing a long sigh of relief, relaxed all over, and couldn't say anything.

"It's done, it's done, it's done!..." Yang Jing said happily. This matter really happened.

"Your Majesty, why did it happen?" Wang Chengen couldn't help asking. The emperor was surprised. Not to mention winning this great victory, it was said that it was done. What did it happen?

"Hahaha, the battle in Sanchahe is so good. Let's see for yourself." Yang Jing was happy and said, "This victory was burned by hot air balloons in the air. In other words, his goal was achieved. In the future, the city will have a great ability to protect the personnel and property of the city in the future. Although the cannon is powerful, it cannot be shot down in a single shot or two cannons. It may not be effective if it is hit ten days and half a month. However, this hot air balloon is different. Once it is taken off to set fire, it is almost impossible to defend. You can't add a cover to the city. In other words, the wild boar skin squats in Shenyang and Liaoyang, which is almost no different from squatting in the wild. The height of the city wall does not have any problems with the hot air balloon. If the city wall exists, it will become a helper for hot air balloon damage. That is to say, once the city wall is, it will be no different from squatting in the wild.

As his army approaches, there is nothing else to do except retreat. Otherwise, once he is in a stalemate with the Ming Dynasty, such hot air balloons will happen again. The inmovable city will become a living target. So, where can we retreat? After all, we can only retreat westward. In other words, we can only retreat, in other words, we can only attack Lin Danhan, and besides being able to grab things from Lin Danhan, it is the only place to retreat. Once the wild boar skin retreats westward, our goal will be achieved. Not only will we use the wild boar skin to clean up Lin Danhan, but we can also follow the wild boar skin and chase the wild boar skin to recover the three eastern provinces, ***, and even Siberia. We can chase westward to Gansu, and even ***, and annex large pieces of land. Otherwise, let China in the future use the Great Wall as its national boundary, which is untolerable.

Spending a lot of troops and money to fight the ***, recover the three northeastern provinces, and even to fight Siberia is unimaginable in the eyes of the Ming people and will inevitably face great opposition. If the Ming Dynasty had the intention to ask for these places, it would not have withdrawn from the territory outside the pass and used the Great Wall as the national border. However, as a person who has been in the future, it is obviously impossible to tolerate the Great Wall as the national border. Then, we must find a way to convince these Ming people. After thinking about it, only the mortal enemy of the Ming Dynasty can calm the pressure of attacking the ***. If the Donglu has not been destroyed, why should we go home? Raise a tiger? Wait for a few years to heal the wounds of the Donglu before coming back? Then more casualties and more money are spent? So Yang Jing blurted out happily and became.

Clearing away the remnants and expansion of the Eastern Captains has finally become a whole thing. From now on, no one can stop himself from expanding to the Northeast, ***, Siberia, *** and other places...

In Yang Jing's view, wild boar skin is not a big problem. The Ming Dynasty was overthrown by Li Zicheng. The roots of Li Zicheng and others were political. The real danger in the late Ming Dynasty came from within the Ming Dynasty. What is most needed is to reform the Ming Dynasty, rather than the military victory after military victory. History has proved that military victory cannot solve the problems in the late Ming Dynasty...

If you want to say reforms to an agricultural country that is about to collapse, then land reform or "land revolution" must be faced. How to solve the problem of land? The land in China is tight, unable, and it is difficult to shake the possession of land by those big landlords, bureaucrats, and merchants. Then, undoubtedly, the vast land and vast fertile unowned land will be the biggest bargaining chip for Yang Reform to carry out the "land revolution".

Taking natural disasters as an opportunity, we continuously utilized the newly expanded land and industry to suck blood from the original countryside, guided more farmers to go to cities and undeveloped land, and continuously compressed and suppressed the benefits gained from the land by the old landlord class, forcing them to turn their attention to industry and overseas.

Natural disasters, disaster relief, immigration resettlement, expansion, land reform, industrial revolution, all of which are naturally connected into a line. The continuous natural disasters in the late Ming Dynasty were a great challenge to the Ming Dynasty, but it may not be an opportunity for the Ming Dynasty. How to turn natural disasters into forces driving the Ming Dynasty forward? Undoubtedly, Yang Jing had a complete plan, and the battle of Sanchahe was undoubtedly an extremely important part of this complete plan.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty! This great victory is really unimaginable! It is actually one of the rare great victory in my Ming Dynasty. The huge difference in victory is really hard to believe. If it weren't for the good news from Master Sun, I would probably not believe it..." Wang Chengen looked at the battle report and immediately congratulated the emperor on such a great victory. It was really unimaginable that he had only died a thousand times, and the Tartars died 20,000 times. Seeing this war report, he could only be ecstatic...

"Hahaha..." Yang Jing was so happy that he could not say when he heard these congratulations. This feeling of controlling the fate of hundreds of millions of people and controlling the fate of an empire is really amazing.

The wheel of history is in his own hands at this moment.

...

"Your Majesty, all the ministers come to congratulate you..." An eunuch came in to report.

"See..." Yang Guifei was very happy and immediately said to see him.

...

The ministers entered the palace one after another and wanted to congratulate him. Originally, it would not take long for everyone to know that the court would send a report from the palace, but obviously, this great victory was so amazing that he had suffered 1,000 casualties and killed 20,000 enemies. If it were 20,000 rioters, everyone would not think it was magical. The magic was magical. The 20,000 tyrants were still powerful. The 20,000 tyrants were more powerful than the elite troops of the Ming Dynasty... So, in order to find out the detailed information, the officials who could enter the palace ran to the palace and wanted to have a sneak peek. In addition to satisfying their curiosity, they were also a capital to brag about to others.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty..." Shi Fenglai led the lead and led some important officials from the court into the warmhouse where they congratulated each other. The others could only stand outside, and there were more and more people.

"Haha, we are happy together, we are happy together! Today's great victory is not only my great victory, but also your great victory, but also my great victory in the Ming Dynasty. We are happy together, we should celebrate together..." Yang Jing said happily.

"Your Majesty said so much, everyone should celebrate together..." Shi Fenglai said again.

"By the way, my partner, let me show you the good news..." Yang Jinge said.

"I obey the order!" Wang Chengen agreed and gave the news to everyone. Everyone who had already seen through Qiushui immediately looked at it. You must know the detailed process of the battle. This news must be read. Of course, there must be a more detailed report after the war. However, it will take a while to wait, so this news is the best way to understand the situation at that time.

Everyone couldn't wait to look at the good news. Everyone who saw it was stunned and shocked. The hot air balloon burned things too hard. Not only did it burn the Tartar camp with one fire, it also burned more than 10,000 to death? Many people sighed that the fire of the hot air balloon this time was probably not only burned the Tartar camp, but also thousands of people, probably "burned" more things.

Yang Jingwei also had an idea when he saw everyone circulating the news. In addition to occupying a very important position in the entire reform plan, this time, the Sanchahe victory was also of great help to many things he had to do. He could do some things with the power of great victory.

"Today's great victory, you are all here, so let's hold a brief discussion on the court..." Yang Jie suddenly said.

Some important officials who were still shocked and dazed all looked at the emperor and did not speak. Usually, the small dynasty will be opened in the Wenhua Hall, and the military will be on the platform. The big dynasty will be at the Taihe Gate. Here is today?

"What do you think of this big victory? Let's talk about it..." Yang Jing intends to use the power of this new victory to start everyone's discussion freely.

Everyone was shocked again! Many officials' faces darkened. Although this was a great victory for the Ming Dynasty and the emperor, it was not necessarily a good thing for them. The reason was that under the remaining power of this battle, there were afraid that there would be many things that would be difficult to stop the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I think this hot air balloon is simply a magical weapon. It should be kept properly and must not leak it out secretly. Otherwise, our court will not only lose the magical weapon, but will even be retaliated by the magical weapon..." Shi Fenglai was still the first to speak.

"It makes sense..." Yang Jing gave a affirmation. Although this is good, it has no effect and belongs to the ranks of nonsense.

"Report to Your Majesty, I think that I should pursue the Donglu with the power of this battle. If I can completely eliminate the Donglu, it would be the best..." Someone immediately suggested that with the remaining power of this great victory, go deep into the inland to fight the Donglu's lair.

"Your Majesty, I agree. Now that we have a great victory, we should take advantage of the situation to pursue and defeat the old nest of the Donghu in one fell swoop. Otherwise, the Donghu will recover its vitality in the future, and our dynasty will be in trouble again..." Some officials also proposed.

Yang Jie nodded straight when he heard this, but the pursuit is pursuit, but it is not the moment when fighting wild boar skins, but you must not kill the wild boar skins in one go. Then, your own expansion plan and your own "land revolution" will be troublesome. China's border line may have to stay on the front line of the Great Wall. This is inconsistency no matter what, it cannot be tolerated.

"Your Majesty, you should deal with the Eastern Captains as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you spend a lot of money to go out for war every year, our dynasty will be extremely uncomfortable..."

Someone agreed with a few more words, and then attacked the Donglu, which almost became a consensus. However, there was no one who was short of his eyes to say that he wanted to negotiate. There was a big difference between the Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty. Yang Jing still liked this point very much. Seeing that this issue had been reached, Yang Jing was suppressed. All the ministers stopped and saw what the emperor said.

"You guys, I think so too. The Dongliu in our dynasty has hurt too much. Our dynasty should completely wipe it out. Otherwise, I will be unable to sleep or eat, and spend countless money every year, which is not a solution. However, in a war, we must win, at least we cannot lose. To wipe out the Dongliu, we must base ourselves on winning. As for how to win, I have to ask the General Staff and listen to Master Sun's opinion." Yang Jing said this. First, he affirmed that the Dongliu must be wiped out, and then, he had to delay time and fight the Tartars. That is an art, an art involving reform and the fate of thousands of people. Naturally, he must be in his own hands and cannot fight according to other people's ideas.

"Your Majesty's wise..." The ministers had nothing to say, so they said they were wise.

"What else should I say about the other Qing families? Let's continue..." Yang Jingwei said again.

"Your Majesty, I think this thing is a magical weapon. Since war has such magical achievements, I should be equipped with all the officials and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention all of them, I should also choose a batch of important towns to equip them. In this way, it can be used to conquer the country." Han Du thought for a while and said.

As soon as this was said, it also received many people's approval.

"Report to Your Majesty, I agree..."

"Your Majesty, it's reasonable..."

However, there are also objections.

"I believe that this object is a magical weapon, and it is not something that ordinary people can use. Even if it is distributed to various towns, the artifact like this is probably only hidden in the warehouse. How many people can use it? As far as I know, using this object requires strict selection and then strict training, there are many hot air balloons consumed in the training, which are definitely not something that local towns and wards can bear. Your Majesty, I think that this artifact must not be distributed everywhere, one is that it will not be used in the place; the other is that this object is a magical weapon, and the country's treasure should be kept strictly confidential and strictly prevent others from knowing it. Naturally, it is impossible to distribute it to the place..." Liu Yanyuan, the Minister of War, came out, opposed it.

"Report to Your Majesty, I agree..."

"Report to Your Majesty, I think it's reasonable..."

Similarly, there are quite a lot of people supporting Liu Yanyuan.

Of course, Yang Jing also had his own ideas. A new thing like hot air balloon cannot be compared with the Ming Dynasty's old and chaotic military mechanism, so it is naturally impossible to distribute hot air balloons everywhere. If it causes a leak of technology, it will be endless trouble. I will press my hands.

Everyone calmed down.

"I think that Han and Liu Qing's family have made sense. This thing is not suitable for use in separate places. First, it is difficult to train; second, it is not affordable; third, it is afraid of leaking secrets. However, this thing is of great use in combat. It should be carried forward... I think it is better to set up a special air force to be responsible for combat, train alone, manage by itself, and assist in combat with the needed official troops during combat. This is better..." Yang Jing quickly decided on the policy, which is to set up a separate air force to isolate the new army and ensure the combat effectiveness of the new army. In the future, military reform will be convenient for doing it yourself and will not cause too much trouble for yourself.

Becoming a single army? Everyone discussed it again, but there was nothing to argue about. Anyway, it was done by the emperor, so it was based on the emperor's wishes.

After talking for a while, Yang Jie felt that it was time to ask what he wanted to ask.

"Well, someone asked me before, why does the new Shanghai do not use the city wall. Now, there is an answer, so there is no need to hide it. Now you know, why does the new Shanghai do not use the city wall?" Yang Jing began to talk about his own affairs.

When everyone heard this, someone immediately put his head down. Most of the opposition parties were opposed, while most of the people were the imperial parties. There has been a long debate on whether to build a city wall in Shanghai or not. There has been no very accurate statement. The emperor is not a saint, and the dispute between the two sides is mostly focused on the need for more money to build a city wall. However, now a hot air balloon burns the enemy camp, and there is a sufficient reason for not having a city wall. Once the hot air balloon comes out, what role does your city wall play? How many people are burned once and how many times will it take? How can there be living people in the city? The city wall can no longer protect the people in the city wall in front of the hot air balloon.

"I believe that your Majesty is wise and new Shanghai should not have a city wall. The Sanchahe victory now shows that it is unnecessary to repair the city wall. With so much money to build this extra city wall, it is better to place more victims..." Liu Yanyuan, the Minister of War, immediately came out to agree with the emperor's words. This topic was debated for a long time, and now, he finally won.

"Your Majesty, but if there is no city wall, what if there is a criminal who wants to commit ill-treatment to the new Shanghai? Although the city wall has no way to hot air balloons, it is not useless. It is still very useful to defend against Japanese pirates, pirates, and bandits. Besides, building the city wall is a one-time and for all. Now, even if you spend some money, you can win forever..." Han Yu made his final efforts, and this time, he was defeated by the emperor. In addition to the battle for the city wall, the construction of the new Shanghai is actually a matter of fact.

It is also a dispute between "paying taxes" and "not paying taxes". Most of the construction of new Shanghai, such as projects and materials, have fallen into the pockets of "tax payers". Those who "paying taxes" have not gained anything from the construction of new Shanghai. This is actually the battle. Now, as soon as the Sanchahe victory is out, the hot air balloons are invincible, reducing the role of this city to a minimum, which is an optional thing. They use the theory of the city wall to fight for profit, and it will be ruined.

Many ministers lowered their heads. The matter in Shanghai was probably gone, and they were afraid there was no way out. Some people began to think about whether they could not stop it, then should they consider joining the ranks of "paying taxes". But the ranks of taxes are not so easy to join. There are so many requirements, and the rules and regulations are all tight curse on their heads. Once they want to join the ranks of "paying taxes", then their family's land, business, and transactions have to pay taxes. Once they evade taxes, they will be punished heavily and will lose their entire family. This is also a lot of

Where big merchants, big landlords, and big bureaucrats don’t want to, they are not like many small merchants, and they are not as easy as small households. Even if they take out all their wealth to pay taxes, they don’t have to pay a few taxes. Compared to the benefits they get from the emperor, they are really incomparable. If they want to "pay taxes", they are bleeding. Not to mention anything else, just the land in their families, they have to pay a lot of more land tax every year. This number and the benefits they get from the emperor are considered to be both fish and bear’s paw.

Yang Jing suppressed his hands again. Everyone calmed down. Seeing what the emperor said, it was probably a saint dictator.

"Han Qing's family makes sense, but I agree more with stifling these threats in the bud. Even if you want to fight, it is best to fight in other people's homes. In this way, even if I don't have a wall at home, so what? If you can't stifle the danger in the bud and let the enemy come to the door, even if you rely on the city to defend it, you will suffer a loss, right?" Yang Jingwei said.

"Your Majesty is wise!" The imperialists immediately cooperated and agreed.

"That's it. There is a conclusion about the new Shanghai city wall. Don't argue again in the future..." Yang Jingsheng Jue said, with a final say.

The ministers who still wanted to oppose the matter had not yet reacted, but the matter was done.

"I will obey the order!" everyone replied again.

Yang Jingwei was quite happy, and with the power of the war, he solved another problem.

"Then let's talk about road construction. I plan to hand over the road construction to the business. The court will send someone to supervise it. Let's talk about it." Yang Jing mentioned another thing. The road construction is similar to that in Shanghai. It is a dispute over interests, a dispute between "paying taxes" and "not paying taxes."

Yang Jing's idea was to support a group of businessmen, or a new class, to fight against the old class composed of big landlords, big bureaucrats, and big merchants. To put it simply, it is to re-establish rules. Obviously, it is impossible to convince those big landlords, big bureaucrats, and big merchants to pay taxes and cut their own flesh. If they could cut their flesh, Chongzhen in history would not be hanged. With the GDP of the Ming Dynasty, wouldn't be able to give out tens of thousands of taels of silver? If they put their lives on the mercy of others, there would be only one fate, that is Chongzhen.

The new class supported by Yang Jingjing was composed of small merchants, small landlords, craftsmen, peasants and poor proletarians, as well as nobles and some imperial party members. This new class is regarded as the widest group of interests in the members and almost represents all the classes in the Ming Dynasty. Yang Jingjing believed that this class, which represents a broad range, would definitely defeat the original class composed of large landlords, large bureaucrats, and large merchants.

The faces of the ministers were not so good at first. Many people knew that the emperor must take advantage of the great victory this time and forcefully pass the road building.

"Report to Your Majesty, I object!" Han Yu was the first to stand up to object.
To be continued...
