Chapter 79

It is impossible to count on the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion in the pass to get rid of the anti-thief leader Zhu Jinsong. The only way is to transfer Sauron soldiers and the Mongolian Eight Banners into the pass to suppress the rebellion as Emperor Qianlong had imagined before. .

In addition to continuing to mobilize troops to suppress the rebellion, Emperor Qianlong also prepared a second move.

Since Zhu Jinsong, the leader of the anti-thieves, came up with "Menglianggu Newspaper" and wanted to use newspapers to smear my Qing Dynasty and call on the people of the world to rebel against my Qing Dynasty. Iron, the official law is like a furnace, let you have a good understanding of what it means to be inferior and commit superiority, although it is not straightforward.

Those who dare to spread the "Menglianggu Newspaper" will be punished by the clan.

Those who dare to hide "Menglianggu Newspaper" will be punished by the clan.

Those who dare to imitate Zhu Ni and form peasant associations to resist taxes will be punished by the family.

Now these rebels who have raised their flags to rebel are all killing the nine clans.

All in all, it is "the most important thing is to strictly suppress and kill", and at worst, there will be another ten days in Jiangyin and three massacres in Jiading.

Kill these muddy people until they are afraid, and see if they dare to rebel.

However, when Emperor Qianlong made up his mind to "strictly suppress and kill people", my treasury of the Qing Dynasty gave Qianlong a slap in the face.

The treasury has no money.

Zhou Xun once said that a man with money is difficult, but a man without money is difficult, and Lu Shuren also said that a penny is difficult for a hero.

Even heroes have to worry about money, let alone the prodigal son Qianlong.

Qianlong's grandfather Ma Zige and his father Yongzhun earned tens of millions of family fortunes accumulated by two generations, and Emperor Qianlong's trips to the south of the Yangtze River have long ago tossed them all.

What's even worse is that Emperor Qianlong's brain circuit is not normal. As soon as he ascended the throne, he abolished the fire consumption set by his father and returned it to the public, and took all the fire consumption prescribed by his father to repair the river and traveled to the south of the Yangtze River. My Qing Dynasty The officials and lords of the bureaucracy worked their way up and down, and each of them was thinking about how to get the fire consumption into their own hands.

Coupled with the fact that Zhu Jinsong, the anti-thief leader of Tianzi, has to spend a lot of money on food, grass, military pay, firearms and ammunition every time, so although my Qing Dynasty treasury is not empty, it has no money. Then support Emperor Qianlong's large-scale deployment of troops to suppress.

Of course, although the treasury has no money, although it hurts, it is not a big problem for Emperor Qianlong.

Mr. Xunfei said, you should seek a peacemaker if you are undecided in internal affairs, and you should also seek a peacemaker if you are undecided in foreign affairs, especially when you have no money.

Emperor Qianlong immediately called Heshen and Zhongtang into the palace, and then hinted that I was short of money in the Qing treasury.

Anyway, there is only one meaning inside and outside the words, either you and Zhongtang will solve the problem of lack of money in the treasury, or I will use you and Zhongtang to solve the problem of lack of money in the treasury.

Heshen and Zhongtang thought that the lack of money in the national treasury is such a big deal, Long Live Lord, why are you using such a trivial matter to scare the slaves?
Therefore, Heshen and Zhongtang just smiled slightly, and then came up with their own solution: "I heard that Wang Bingzhong, the right servant of the household department, has recently added a few concubines to the family, Xu Xinqian, the daughter of Xu Zhendong, the left servant of the official department, I just bought two yards a few days ago, claiming that they are all the faces of my parents."

"With the salaries of Wang Bingzhong and Xu Zhendong, it's not a big problem to add a few concubines and buy a few yards, but the concubine of Wang Bingzhong's family is the number one girl in Bada Hutong, Xu Xin bought it. Those two yards, oh, that lot is worth every inch of land, and the two yards add up to a hundred thousand taels?"

"So, I think that people like Wang Bingzhong and Xu Zhendong are superficially clean, but in fact they are corrupt. I plan to impeach the two thieves in the court tomorrow. I hope the Lord Long Live will investigate!"

Take a look, take a look, isn't the money matter settled?

It’s just a few million taels of military expenditure. That idiot in Chongzhen would be so worried because of the 100 million taels of military expenditure, and my Qing emperor can copy a few million taels by just copying a few ministers. Make a judgment.

With the money, Emperor Qianlong immediately ordered the mobilization of Sauron soldiers and the Eight Banners of Mongolia to enter the pass to suppress the rebellion.

And the Sauron soldiers and the Mongolian Eight Banners did live up to Emperor Qianlong's high expectations. The news that the Qianlong Emperor ordered the recruitment of the Sauron soldiers and the Mongolian Eight Banners to enter the customs just came out, and a large number of frontier officials were scared out of their wits At that time, the tax bank that could not be transported to the capital because of Chen Tailai's blockade of water transport also began to be transported from various places.

But, before the tax money sent to the national treasury left their respective provinces, they were robbed by "rebel" groups in various places.

When the big officials in various places saw that the tax money was gone, they immediately became very worried, because these are tax money, and they are the hard-earned money accumulated by the common people. Military spending, how can it be said that it is gone?

After discovering that the tax money had been robbed, these loyal frontier officials first collected a sum of military expenses "out of their own pockets", and then hurriedly led their patrols, green battalion and other soldiers to conquer the rebels.

However, the rebels who robbed the tax money disappeared, no matter how the officials in the frontier searched, they could not find the shadow of the rebels.

In desperation, these big officials in the frontier could only make an indictment to Emperor Qianlong. First, they confessed their crimes of being ineffective in governing and losing tax money, and asked Emperor Qianlong to punish him. Going bankrupt, throwing pots and selling iron, and trying to make up for the lost tax money, and asking Long Live God for a little more time.

Then, these big officials in the frontiers began to sell their iron.

As the saying goes, the top works and the bottom works, the big officials in the frontiers have started to sell their iron, and the officials and lords in that place must follow suit.

Bankruptcy is the home of the people, and selling iron is also the home of the people who are smashing.

The officials once again collected the winter tax of the 49th year of Qianlong.

If you want to be shameless, you can transfer the tax to Qianlong 94, and if you are shameless, you can directly transfer the tax to Qianlong 140, because you need to spend money to suppress the rebellion. Now the treasury is empty. How to collect taxes in advance.

As for whether Emperor Qianlong's year name can be used until 140...

What's the matter, Lord Long Live's longevity is boundless, and you actually suspect that Lord Qianlong's reign will last less than 140 years?
Say!Are you looking forward to the death of Lord Long Live? !
This officer can see at a glance that you troublemakers are rebellious!

Ordinary people don't know if they look at this Nima. I don't know if Emperor Qianlong can live forever. I don't know if Emperor Qianlong's reign can be used until 140. Lao Tzu may not even survive New Year's Eve in the 49th year of Qianlong.

Seeing that they were about to lose their lives, the gene of "princes and generals would rather have a kindness" in the bones of the common people in the Central Plains began to recover.

The point is that Zhu Jinsong's coercion has opened up a new way of thinking to the people of the world.

Especially the "Menglianggu Newspaper", which is a big killer, the content on it is almost to teach the people how to rebel.

The poor have no knives or guns?

It doesn't matter, if those local tyrants and evil gentry are beaten up, things like knives, guns and firearms will come.

The government wants to encircle and suppress?
It doesn't matter, if you can ambush, you can ambush, if you can't ambush, you can put oil on the soles of your feet, and walk the Tartar officers and soldiers like dogs.

The final result is that the rivers and mountains of the Qing Dynasty that were already full of wars have become thick with smoke. Except for a few limited places such as Zhili, Rehe, Gansu and west of Gansu, Mongolia, and Liaodong, the remaining provinces and prefectures There are rebels in every state.

Sauron soldiers?
Sauron's soldiers are awesome, but those officials and local officials know that Sauron's soldiers are awesome, how do ordinary people know what Sauron's soldiers are.

Besides, even if the common people know how powerful Sauron's soldiers are, so what, they can't live anymore anyway. If they don't rebel, they will die immediately. If they rebel, they can live for a while longer. For the future, at least we have to wait until Sauron's soldiers enter the customs.

What's more, Zhu Jinsong, the anti-thief leader of Tianzi, is standing in front of him. Zhu Jinsong has already blatantly played out the slogan of expelling the Tartars and restoring China. Let's talk about other things after Zhu Jinsong!

Yes, Zhu Jinsong directly uttered the slogan of expelling the Tartars and restoring China, and did not shout to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.

It's not that Zhu Jinsong didn't think about directly calling for anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty as the fifth grandson of Emperor Chongzhen, but after thinking about it, Zhu Jinsong directly gave up this plan.

Although the Ming Dynasty left a certain political legacy after its demise, and the people in the entire Central Plains sometimes clamored to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, but was the Ming Dynasty really that good?
Or in other words, with the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, people's lives will improve?
The answer is no.

In essence, the gentry of the Ming Dynasty and the gentry of the Qing Dynasty are the same. These gentry's greed for land is innate. If they are not eliminated, even if the industrial revolution starts, they will still pay attention to it. Stare at the land.

For these gentry, industry and commerce belonged to businesses that could make money, and only land was the foundation for their livelihood.

This is the gene of something that has been engraved in the bones of the Central Plains Tangkou for thousands of years. This gene is so profound that the first concern after getting the lunar soil is whether it can grow vegetables.

That's why Zhu Jinsong didn't call for anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty, but for expulsion of the Tartars and restoration of China.

Instead of going to war over the land after calling out anti-Qing and Fuming, it would be better to make anti-Qing and Fuming a beautiful historical symbol.

It's just that Zhu Jinsong, the genuine person who should call out anti-Qing Fuming, didn't call out, while Chen Tailai, Bagua Sect and Bailian Sect shouted anti-Qing Fuming with great fanfare.

Chen Tailai knew that his troops were no match for Zhu Jinsong, nor could he be compared with Zhu Jinsong in terms of popular support, so Chen Tailai enlisted the support of the virtuous gentry in the village and took the initiative to send troops to attack Henan.

Emperor Qianlong never imagined that the situation that should have improved with the entry of Sauron soldiers and the Eight Banners of Mongolia to suppress the rebellion would be so inexplicably destroyed in the hands of these feudal officials.

Emperor Qianlong was furious, furious, furious, and even the concubines who were just in their teens who had just been brought into the palace were not fragrant.

Emperor Qianlong, who was furious, immediately dispatched imperial envoys with a large number of imperial guards to various places, preparing to kill those officials who regarded him as a fool on the spot.

It is a pity that Emperor Qianlong had just dispatched the imperial envoys, and the news spread on the back foot. Therefore, these imperial envoys did indeed go to the governors and governors' yamen in various places alive, but they failed to read Emperor Qianlong's will alive.

After Emperor Qianlong scattered all the spies at the sticky poles, he found out that the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Bayan San and the Governor of Sichuan, Fu Lehun, were dead long ago. Now sitting in the lobby of the Governor’s Mansion of Guangdong and Guangxi is a man named Mei Chunyao's, sitting in the lobby of the Sichuan Governor's Mansion is a man named Zhang Hongxuan.

Emperor Qianlong could swear on the chastity of his great-grandmother Bumbutai. Emperor Qianlong didn't know Mei Chunyao or Zhang Hongxuan at all, let alone canonize these two people as governors of Guangdong, Guangxi and Sichuan.

What's even more amazing is that the governor of Fujian, Guerjia Yade, turned into the traitor Lin Shuangwen of the Great Liuqiu at some point.

What is this operation?
