"Why are there always unruly people trying to rebel?"

The person who made this sigh in the East Lake Palace was Zhu Cixiang, who had been the emperor of Shengming for 20 years!

After learning that people in Jingzhou, Chengtian, De'an, and Xiangyang prefectures were colluding with bandits and planning to rebel, Zhu Cixiang, the emperor of Shengming, was helpless!

Under his governance, the Ming Dynasty was prosperous and prosperous, and its land area was even farther than that of the Han and Tang Dynasties! It can be said that the sun never sets on the empire.

The sun never sets, so why do people still want to rebel? Don't they look at the world map? Aren't they proud of the Empire on which the sun never sets?

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Today, our country's national power is at its peak, which is rare in ancient times. Our 20 million people are well clothed and well fed. A clown and an arrogant thief can't harm the overall situation." The one who told the truth was Wei Zaode, the chief assistant. Look at him.

With a confident expression, you know that what you are saying is the truth.

Zhu Cixiang nodded in agreement. The Ming Dynasty was so good, but you still rebelled, you are just a clown and an arrogant thief!

"Your Majesty," Li Yan, Minister of War, reported, "Since the founding of this dynasty, civil commotions have occurred one after another in various places. There have been thousands of civil commotions in various places. There have been quite a few when the emperor was in power in the past dynasties. In comparison, this is still under the rule of Your Majesty.

The world is the most peaceful and happy place. From the first year of Hongxing to the present, the total number of civil uprisings and rebellions in the land occupied by the Donglu is less than 100, including this time, there are only 96 in total."

Only 96 times?

Zhu Cixiang rolled his eyes and said, "Rebellion! Isn't 96 rebellions very few? He has only been emperor for 20 years! He has rebelled 96 times. How can there be so many unruly people in the world?"

"Really 96 times?" Zhu Cixiang's face darkened, "Why don't I remember it?"

Li Yan smiled and said: "Most of the rebellions happened in the early years of Hongxing, and they were not large in scale. Your Majesty was busy with everything, so maybe he forgot about it."

Emperor Zhu had already remembered something at this time, nodded and said: "I remember, it was mainly caused by slave rebellion and high food prices. After ten years of prosperity, few people rebelled."

In the early days of Zhu Cihong's rule, the situation was still very chaotic. Even in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, the core of his rule, dozens of civil uprisings occurred. The reasons for these civil uprisings were, first, the slave rebellion caused by the abolition of slavery! The second was the lack of

The hungry people rebelled against food!

Abolition of slavery and food shortages are often intertwined. In fact, the abolition of slavery was not due to Zhu Cihong's desire to protect human rights, but because the southeastern gentry was unable to keep slaves after losing their privileges, so they had to abolition a large number of slaves, which caused many conflicts in the process.

In order to maintain stability in the southeast, Zhu Cixi simply issued an edict to abolish slavery, which was considered to be in compliance with public opinion.

However, while Emperor Zhu abolished slavery, he resolutely defended the private property of the slave-owning gentry and landlord class. He was not Li Zicheng. He wanted to develop capitalism, so he had to defend private property and not allow free slaves to occupy the original owner's production.

materials, and were unwilling to allocate government-owned production materials to these emancipated slaves.

As a result, many freed slaves fell into hunger and cold

However, ten years after Hongxing, with the further development of southeastern industry and commerce, the development of Jin'ou and Jinghai, and the successful management of Huanghuai transportation, the Ming Dynasty's direct provincial areas were relatively peaceful, but rebellions still occurred every year! Until these few years

, because the development of the Northern Central Plains, the Northeast, and the United States of New Zealand on the other side of the ocean were on track, which gave the poor in the Ming Dynasty more options, and also promoted the further development of industry and commerce in the southeast, allowing the Ming Dynasty society to truly stabilize.

"Your Majesty," Ma Shiying, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, also said, "Although there are unruly people in Jingzhou, Chengtian, De'an, and Xiangyang prefectures who have rebelled, there are also many righteous people who reported the anti-thief conspiracy to the government. Local police patrol officials and factory security officials

It is also relatively effective. During the first month of the year alone, eleven cases of conspiracy to rebel were reported, six of which had already closed the net to arrest people, and five of which were fishing for big fish."

"How many rebels have been caught in total?" Zhu Cihong asked.

Ma Shiying replied: "Currently, there are 286 rebels in custody awaiting trial, and there are 18 other famous bandits, all of whom are detained in the prison cells of the Ministry of Punishment and the Military Justice Department."

Now there is no Jinyiwei prison system. There are only three prison systems: the cells in charge of the Ministry of Punishment, the cells of the Military Justice Department of the Ministry of War, and the Taiwan Prison of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The Jinyiwei is under the jurisdiction of the Military Advisor Office, so the suspects captured by them are taken to the Military Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of War.

Prison. Dongchang belongs to the Cabinet Office in name, and the captured thieves are sent to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. The Metropolitan Procuratorate mainly arrests corrupt officials, and the punishment is not as high as that of doctors. They always need preferential treatment, so they are sent to the prison of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and

It is called Yushitai Prison.

"How many more can we probably catch?" Zhu Cixiang asked again.

"About three to four thousand people!" The person who answered this question was Zhu Chunjie, the commander of the Jinyi Guards.

"So many?" Zhu Cixiang was surprised, "It won't cause too much trouble, right?"

"No," Zhu Chunjie said, "Two righteous people in Yiling Prefecture not only reported the rebel conspiracy to the government, but also sent people to infiltrate the rebels and learned that the rebels were going to launch a large-scale attack on the second day of February, and the location.

Right in Huya Mountain! At present, the rebels who have not been arrested in Jingzhou, Chengtian, De'an, and Xiangyang are all concentrating on Huya Mountain. It is said that the leader of the bandits will personally come to Huya Mountain to preside over the rebellion!

I am waiting for this big thief to arrive, and then I will catch him all!"

"That's very good!" Zhu Cixi nodded, "What are the names of these two volunteers?"

"One is named Ding Shixiang and the other is named Zhang Haoran."

It’s Ding Papi and Zhang Jiugui!

"Okay!" Zhu Cihong said, "Tell them that if they succeed, they will all be rewarded heavily!"

"I accept the decree."

"It's against! It's against! It's all fucking against"

The one who roared was none other than the number one rebel in the world, Li Laiheng, the "Emperor of Dongxing" in Dashun.

At this time, Li Laiheng was in the imperial study room in Wuhuashan, Kunming. He was not sitting behind the desk, but walking around in the study room, looking a little angry and uneasy.

What made him furious was the peasant uprising that took place in Dajian Mountain!

Of course, there were no rebellions under the rule of Dashun, but unlike the Ming Dynasty where most of the rebels were poor peasants, the rebels here in Dashun were usually chieftains. Dashun's territory is in the southwest where chieftains are everywhere. Of course, it cannot tolerate the many chieftain regimes like the Ming Dynasty.

's existence.

Therefore, since Dashun ruled Sichuan and Yunnan, this peasant regime has become the mortal enemy of the southwestern chieftains! In the past 20 years, the contest between the two sides has been a life-and-death struggle!

However, the farmers under Dashun have always been relatively peaceful. Even though they were "dispossessed of their fields", they never launched an uprising. The reason for this is actually related to Dashun's military system. 600,000 military households were divided into various parts of the town to suppress them.

There is no doubt about their ability. Therefore, under the Ming Dynasty, 96 uprisings occurred in the past 20 years. Under the Dashun rule, excluding the war with the southwest chieftains, the Dajianshan Uprising that just occurred was the first time that it became large-scale.

The peasant uprising!

Although this uprising was mostly started by demons from the White Lotus Sect, it was ultimately a peasant uprising!

"Your Majesty, please calm down King Jin. King Sui and King Chu have already dispatched troops to Dajian Mountain to encircle and suppress them. I believe it won't take long to wipe out all these monsters!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, these monsters and rioters are nothing to be afraid of, they are no match for my Shunchao soldiers! And we just take this opportunity to wipe out the evildoers from all over the place!"

The ones who spoke were Liu Wenxiu and Liu Fangliang. Among the eight kings currently in charge of politics, only four kings, Sun Kewang, Liu Zongmin, Liu Wenxiu and Liu Fangliang, stayed in Kunming, while the other four kings were outside to supervise the army.

Liu Wenxiu and Liu Fangliang were the kings responsible for the military affairs of the Shun Dynasty, so it was up to them to report the Dajianshan Uprising to Li Laiheng.

"But the war in Shaanxi is about to begin!" Li Laiheng gritted his teeth, "Dajian Mountain is blocking Jiangeguan's throat again."
