He limited the children of local plutocratic families to become officials and high officials in order to prevent such harm. However, he did not expect that it was exactly what he was worried about that led to the demise of the Ming Empire he established.

As for those Donglin Party members who came from Hanlin circles and were supported by plutocratic families, they were far from the spirit of those people in the early Ming Dynasty. Outside Nanjing, Donglin Party members knelt down to welcome the Emperor Qing into the city and rushed to become officials.

The world can be without an emperor, but it cannot be without bureaucrats.

The Donglin Party members thought that no matter who became emperor, they would have to rely on them to govern the region and provide money to the central government in the prosperous Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, but they were wrong.

The Manchus in the bitter cold land are not as easy to talk to as the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty, and they do not have any ancestral system that does not collect business taxes.

From Shunzhi to Yongzheng, three generations of emperors raised bloody butcher knives against the Jiangnan plutocrats. Do you want privileges? Do you want not to pay taxes? Do you want to play the trick of fooling the Zhu family in the past? Do you want to control the government? Do you want the right to speak?

go to hell!

The big chaebols and big bureaucratic families in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were full of heads. The Donglin Party members, the cancer of the Ming Dynasty, were directly trampled to pieces by the Manchurian flag.

From then on, they obediently paid taxes and money.

Otherwise, from Shunzhi to Qianlong, where did the money come from for the first four emperors of the Qing Dynasty who repeatedly launched wars to open up new territories? In the later period, where did Jiajing Daoguang suppress the White Lotus Sect and quell the border rebellions? Where did the money come from?

By the late Qing Dynasty, starting from the Opium War, tens of millions of taels of money were spent every year to buy arms from abroad, and the army was repeatedly trained and struggled for decades. Where did the money come from?

Seeing this, Zhu Yunxi frowned under the light.

Pick up the pen and start writing on a blank piece of paper.

The old man's increase in grain taxes on Suzhou is tyranny and wrong.

But not collecting business tax is even more wrong.

The Ming Dynasty could not have a tax-free class, let alone an official group that controlled the government.

It is better to block than to open up. We must transform the power of local plutocrats into the power of the country.

Putting down his pen, holding back his thoughts, Zhu Yunxi continued to read.

"The five military governor's offices, the five capitals on the left, right, front and back, are in charge of the guards, troops and horses of the world!"

This is not just a military group, but a military department that integrates military and political affairs and is dedicated to war. It is equivalent to the Supreme Staff Headquarters in later generations.

"The commander-in-chief of the left army Geng Bing, the commander-in-chief Tongzhi Anluhou Wu Jie, the commander-in-chief Qian Shi Liu Zhen."

"The commander-in-chief of the right army is Ping'an, the commander-in-chief is Tongzhi Yu Tongyuan, and the commander-in-chief Qian is the commander of the Sichuan capital, Qu Neng."

"Oh!" Zhu Yunxi laughed out loud, what a great guy.

If Jingnan, Tiexuan and Ping'an were the ones who could defeat Zhu Di, Qu Neng and his son were the ones who almost killed Zhu Di.

Ping'an is the brains of the Southern Army, and Qu Neng is the courage of the Southern Army.

In the Battle of Baihe Gou, Qu Neng almost captured the King of Yan, Zhu Di, in the first battle. Later, he led the heavy armored cavalry and personally joined Zhu Di's army, killing the border troops in Peiping to pieces. His other son, Qu Liangcai, was only seventeen years old.

The arrow hit Zhu Di's iron helmet and almost killed Emperor Yongle.

The current head of the Qu family is Qu Tong, the old man's favorite general, but he is old and is now being raised at home.

This family has three loyalties. Even Zhu Di, who is an enemy, admires his loyalty.

In the battle of Baihegou, Li Jinglong was unable to run away first, and Qu Neng and his son died in the battle. It was Zhu Di who collected the bodies with his own hands and buried them in a grand ceremony.

"Military Commander Xu Huizu, Commander-in-Chief Li Jinglong, Commander-in-Chief Chang Sheng!"

"Ha!" Zhu Yunxi laughed out loud. Li Jinglong's big idiot actually had the title of a fellow governor. And his uncle was the third-in-command of the military governor.

However, here we can see the old man’s skill in employing people. In his high-power military official position as the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies, there are children of meritorious officials, veteran generals of the army, as well as his son-in-law and adopted son. These people can work together and have

can restrict each other.

Happy the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to everyone. We eat glutinous rice balls in the south and Yuanxiao in the north.
