Chapter 983 The army sets off
At night, Zhou Yu rarely stood in front of the territory map of the Ming Dynasty at night, thinking carefully.
The Fujian rebellion has affected a wide range of areas, and rebels appeared in Zhejiang and Jiangxi. The reason for the investigation was that the imperial court imposed a blockade on some mountainous areas in order to squeeze more silver in order to squeeze more silver.
Mining.
In the 12th year of Zhengtong, the bandit leader Ye Zongliu took advantage of the livelihood of a large number of miners to break up and revolt. In April of the following year, Deng Maoqi, a farmer in Sha County, Fujian, could not bear the exploitation of land and the government forcibly levying bribes, established a regime in Chenshanzhai, claiming to be "the king of slaughtering the ground."
", the momentum is booming.
The court immediately ordered Liu Ju and Chen Rong to be appointed as the chief and deputy generals to suppress the army, and Ye Zongliu was shot and died.
In November of the 13th year of Zhengtong, the court appointed Chen Mao, the Marquis of Ningyang, as the General of the Conquest of the South, and the Minister of Justice, Jin Lian, the Minister of Justice, to attack Deng Maoqi, and Jin Lian is also the current Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
In February of the 14th year of Zhengtong, Deng Maoqi was ambushed and killed. The rebels were led by his nephew Deng Bosun to continue the war and uprising. It was not until now that the total number of rebels in the Eighth Route Army was completely wiped out. The scale was not particularly large, but the scope of the impact was large, and there were local wealthy families.
The aristocratic family gave support openly and secretly. When the rebels were at their most powerful, they even broke through several cities.
In Zhou Yu's view, the reason for the real creation of conflicts and inducing rebellion was not just a conflict between the court and absentee peasants, but actually the greater conflict of interest between the court and the local aristocratic families.
It is normal for the imperial court to prohibit the civilian mining on its own, at least in Zhou Yu's opinion, this is completely fine. The emperors before the Baozong were almost always paying attention to mining, and the policy of banning mines has been maintained for many years because the excavation is difficult and it is not worth the cost.
But the court felt that the significance was not great, but the situation was different for the local wealthy families. Mining was a huge income for them. The court did not mine and they quietly opened it. The various ores excavated every year were all
A lot of money, but suddenly the court issued a stricter ban and sent troops to guard it, which increased the efforts to squeeze miners. The local wealthy families were naturally dissatisfied with it and naturally thought about what to do.
As for the peasant uprising, there are more reasons. The exploitation of peasants in various senses makes it impossible for the people to survive. Naturally, they can only take up swords and guns to fight for the opportunity to survive. Fujian governors and local wealthy landlords colluded.
This makes people suffer from miserable life, which is a typical example of officials forcing the people to rebel.
Both sides have the participation of local wealthy families, and you can imagine how rampant these wealthy families and even the gentry are.
The rebellion ended, but there was still an internal problem in the Ming Dynasty that it had not been completely resolved.
The Battle of Luchuan has carried out four sieges over the years. Even after four sieges, it still did not win the real victory but ended temporarily in the form of a covenant. The most direct result was that the Ming Dynasty was
The decline of rule in the southwest region.
This war of hundreds of thousands of people has also exhausted the Ming army and the national treasury is deficient. Otherwise, why would the Ming Dynasty be so urgent? Otherwise, why did the north face the Mongolian Wala? This is because this battle is going on
The nine-year large-scale war directly consumed the strength of the Ming Dynasty. It was a war launched by Baozong and Wang Zhen in order to maintain the dignity of the court when the flood and drought in the south of the Yangtze River were still in trouble.
This ultimately led to various problems that the Ming Dynasty has to face today.
Luchuan has to be conquered, but it should not be conquered in this way and then ended in this way. So much resources was spent and so many soldiers sacrificed, but nothing could be changed in the end. Even now, there is still a need to arrange it.
The conflicts occur from time to time when heavy troops guarding the enemy.
Finally, there was the threat from Oirat and Yesen's threat. This was also the first threat Zhou Yu faced after coming to this world, and soon this threat would no longer be a threat.
If the problem in the southwest is solved in the future, the Ming Dynasty will enter a stable stage of development, and after a period of rest and recuperation, it will gradually return to its peak at the Ming Dynasty, and recreate the glory of the Hongwu period and the Yongle period.
Now Fujian has stabilized the southwest. With the reason of fighting the Oirat, it has further assembled an army of nearly 100,000 people in the south of the Yangtze River. It can cross the river and move north or turn south at any time.
There was such a gathered army in Jiangnan, and the court suddenly discovered that many things were going smoothly in Jiangnan. The wealthy families in Jiangnan roughly heard that the rebels in Fujian were rebellious towards the local wealthy families.
It was a bit scared to kill all the people. In addition, there might have been someone in the court who communicated with the other side, so he took the initiative to donate a large amount of food and various materials. First, it pointed out that the court could prevent the Oirat from continuing to move south. Second,
I came here because I was worried that if the 100,000 troops had no food available, they would probably attack them.
It was obvious that the tax he should have paid was not paid, but instead he had to donate to take out the part that should have belonged to the court. Of course, Zhou Yu knew the plans of these noble families and could take out as much as they could from them.
There is no time to deal with these people yet. After the deal is done first, there will be time to slowly concoct these guys. Now that I have just dealt with the wealthy families in Fujian and the surrounding areas, it will take some time to stabilize.
Zhou Yu never asked about the situation from King Xiang, but later he thoroughly understood the reason why he could get so much money.
This time, King Xiang really went there with the purpose of raiding the house. He searched dozens of households, and the money he robbed when the rebels occupied became the spoils for the fight against the rebellion. As for returning it to the end, it was
It is impossible to return it. If Yu Qian had not left some of the money he would have brought back to restore the local people's livelihood.
After arriving in Fujian, King Xiang began to torture and interrogate the arrested rebel leaders. Anyway, in order to ask them who were supported by them, he also agreed to some conditions and would not continue to hold the rebels accountable. He asked all the way.
Even whenever I went to a place, I would look for local people to find out if there was any incident in which the governor and the rich colluded with the people at that time. Then I asked and copied them all the way, not only did I copy the huge amount of money but also copied him by himself.
Become a contemporary wise king...
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! It is also right to let Yu Qian follow the past. At least Yu Qian suppressed King Xiang to do more trouble, and used the money he found to buy people's hearts and restore the war.
Chaos, the people who were imprisoned or not involved in the court were pardoned in the name of the court, and those who did not directly detain the core of the rebel party were beheaded and the leaders of the rebel divisions were killed. The rest
All of them were demoted to labor and allowed them to continue mining locally.
The 100 million taels brought back were just Yu Qian's estimate, and there were also huge amounts of foreign things that were difficult to estimate. For example, things like spices are priceless, and many overseas coins were found in the searched back.
.
However, Yu Qian's opinion is that gold, silver and jewelry are of course useful, but what is more useful is the land deeds, countless land deeds.
Yu Qian must admit that he became short of breath after seeing the countless gold and silver treasures, but the first thing Yu Qian thought of was whether he could do all the money that he had neglected and neglected over the years.
Made one by one, but after seeing the countless land deeds, his eyes turned red. What the land deeds mean is very clear to officials like him. This thing is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty and the lifeblood of the people.
It was just that the wealthy families in various places had unknowingly surrounded so many places.
After returning to the capital, Yu Qian handed over all the land deeds to Zhou Yu, and it was useless to tell the truth about those land deeds in Zhou Yu's hands. After all, the entire Ming Dynasty belonged to him.
Zhou Yu used these land deeds to build multiple new imperial villages and recruited farmers to provide conditions for rent exemption for three years. As for the remaining aspects, he also slowly gave specific methods with Yu Qianchengjing and the others.
With the money brought back by King Xiang, Zhou Yu felt that his voice in the court seemed to be much louder, and the monarch and ministers became more and more harmonious. Of course, this was also the same as Zhou Yu who sent it to the Ministry of Revenue.
It is very important to send one-fifth of the money into the inner treasury.
The Ministry of Revenue immediately sent out most of the money in the money, of which 1.5 million taels of money will be sent to flooded areas for disaster relief, and those who use labor for relief will deal with the problems there.
In fact, many things can be done as long as there is money. The first batch of 1.5 million taels of silver can be given to the officials who have managed the water there to be much easier.
Then there was another batch of repair costs of one million taels of Great Wall Level. This money was also the first batch in the eyes of the Ministry of Revenue, but it doesn't matter that the Ming Dynasty has money to give it to the Ministry of Revenue to approve it quite happily.
Then there is the reconstruction of the important towns of Jiubian. If two million taels are stuffed into it, it will only be a temporary time. More money will be arranged to expand the important towns of Jiubian to defend against the threat from the north.
Then the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Works, etc. were asking the Ministry of Revenue for money. There were about 20 million taels of silver in just a few days. The Ministry of Revenue itself only had more than 5 million taels left. The most pitiful thing was that the Ministry of Rites just left.
Hundreds of thousands of snowflakes.
However, the money sent by all parties, including the Ministry of War, was transferred to the Ministry of Works after a lot of money. The Ministry of Works eventually became the biggest winner and busiest winner of the money this time.
The Ministry of Works cannot be avoided when restoring the Great Wall, and the Ministry of Works cannot be avoided when the reconstruction of the Jiubian important towns. The Ministry of Works cannot be avoided when the Ministry of War needs weapons.
But now the Ministry of Works cannot avoid Zhou Yu at all. Although the Ministry of Works has a Shangshu, it has to listen to Zhou Yu. So after a round, the money was actually transferred to Zhou Yu and the people arranged by him to control the cost.
The money must be used all of it, and the Ministry of Works is the only department that Zhou Yu has completely intervened. The Royal Workshop established is the guiding light for the Ministry of Works today. It has even trained a group of professional bricklayers.
Work can be started at any time.
The first official task of this group of masons is to restore the Great Wall, and cement will be truly displayed in this era.
In addition, Zhou Yu also approved the additional bank to continue to expand the steel mill, and also made a separate bank transfer and expand production for the Ministry of Industry, gradually moving various workshops of the Ministry of Industry in the Central Beijing to other places.
The Royal Workshop and Pharmaceutical Workshop, and even Wang Shan, who is still on a business trip by the beach, also sent a batch of silver, and Jinyiwei and Dongchang also received a large sum of silver.
The others are rewards that should be rewarded. For example, King Xiang took away five million taels of silver from Zhou Yu.
King Xiang and Yu Qian came back, but in a short time, many things were arranged and arranged smoothly because of money. After having money, many things progressed quite quickly. With money, no matter whether it was recruiting soldiers or building weapons, they would change.
It has to be easy. Anyway, money can handle a lot of things, and it can even make the Shenji Camp, which has just returned to Beijing, think about going to fight again after only a few days of rest.
When Yu Qian returned to the military affairs, Zhou Yu gave it to the Minister of War. However, even as the Minister of War Yu Qian still did not obtain the right to command the three major battalions from Zhou Yu.
After some rectification, Yu Qian was able to go to the three camps to dispatch troops and generals after obtaining Zhou Yu's permission. However, after seeing the Shenji Camp, Yu Qian was really confused. He actually saw it here.
All the cabinet ministers were wearing light armor, which was a typical civil servant dressed like that. This situation made him a little confused.
"Nonsense, it's simply nonsense. Get out of the barracks. How can you easily invade as a cabinet? You know how to lead troops to fight and arrange troops? Do you still want to repeat the scene of the defeat of Tumu Fort?
”
"Damn it, Yu Qian tells you, if you don't let me lead the troops to fight today, I will fight with you! I only have five hundred people, five hundred Shenji Camp!"
"Mr. Yu, the emperor also knows about this matter. Our cabinet has been negotiated. Five hundred people, only five hundred people. One person is five hundred people, and only a few of us are only a few people. We have long since been with God.
The soldiers of the Cycling Camp have established a good relationship, and each has a hundred households willing to be our deputy generals. Don't worry, lord, once the war begins, we will definitely fight wherever we want. Even if we die on the battlefield, we will never blame others. The cabinet has already
It doesn't matter. During this time, I will naturally have a working group responsible for cabinet affairs and six ministers of the ministers assisted state affairs. Now I just want to contribute to the Ming Dynasty."
"You guys are crazy!?"
Yu Qian is simply incredible.
"Sir Yu."
At this time, a man wearing a black flying fish suit came to the side.
Yu Qian nodded: "Commander Ma, but the emperor has something to give."
The person who came was Ma Shun: "The emperor said that they would not go there, so that they would not know anything on the cabinet paper for a day. Lord Yu can rest assured that the officials had already mentioned several protections and would take care of several adults."
"This is what the emperor means, you also heard Yu Qian, so why don't you hurry up and go to war!"
