The most powerful patriarch in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 222 A New Journey
Chapter 220

Li Zicheng committed suicide by taking poison in Jiugong Mountain;
Zhu Yousong opened the city gate and surrendered;

Zhang Xianzhong, died under the artillery,

As several major forces were wiped out one after another,
The remaining sporadic forces are not the opponents of the Rural Protection Army.
Under Lu Changle's call, some took the initiative to surrender in nearby counties,

Some threw down their weapons and sneaked back to their hometowns to return to good people to live a peaceful life.

Some people saw that the situation was not good, maybe they did too much evil, or maybe they were unwilling to be ordinary people and took their men to the outside of Daming,

There are also those who are lucky and refuse to surrender,
The Township Protection Army did not get used to them, and gave them a thunderous blow,
Under Lu Changle's command and dispatch,

The Rural Protection Army and the New Eight Banners are dispatched everywhere,

To comprehensively encircle and suppress the various separatist forces and bandits and bandits who harmed the common people,
He also organized people from all over the country to form militias to protect their homes,

With the rapid spread of Minnan Express, as well as the word of mouth of the common people,
After knowing that the division of fields and land is true,

The common people look forward to Lu Changle and the Township Protection Army even more,
Sometimes the country guards haven't arrived yet,
They tied up a small group of local bandits to welcome them,
Wherever the Township Protection Army went, household buildings and logistics rooms followed like a shadow,
Register population, measure official land, Huangzhuang, army farmland, unowned land, etc.

Divide the land among the people who have no land,

Other than that,

Also organized local enlightened gentry,
Heal the wounded together, build roads, bridges and water conservancy,
Try every means to resume work and production, so that life can get on track as soon as possible,
Resuming work and production, repairing roads and bridges, and constructing water conservancy all require money.

Lu Changle still used the old method,
Confiscated enough local official warehouses,

Then set up a crime department to collect the crime money,

Just like in Fujian,
People who commit heinous crimes and cause public anger will be liquidated,

Others can pay for their sins with money and food,

The gentry are a privileged class, few of them can keep their own place,
They are well-informed and have learned about the situation in Fujian through multiple channels.

Knowing Lu Changle's style,
If you keep your word, you can sleep peacefully after paying the money.
No matter how bad it is, the seal item can still leave [-]% of the family wealth,

No matter how much stronger than ordinary people,

The foundation is not clean, and he is unwilling to spend money to prevent disasters.

During the liquidation, I really didn't show any affection at all.

Being able to pay this amount of money for negotiating the crime shows that there is still room for negotiation.
If you refuse to take money, that is called despair.

With this tried and tested method,
Lu Changle raised a huge amount of money and food in a short period of time,
With these crimes,
For a short period of time,
To maintain the pacification of turmoil everywhere and the expenses of big and small forces,

Also assist in resuming work and production as much as possible,

Of course, just relying on the crime money,
We cannot support the suppression of bandits and the resumption of work and production for a long time.

Those who moved in together with the household room and the logistics room,

There are also commercial houses,

The first time to take over the checkpoints and city gates,
Start collecting all kinds of taxes,
According to Lu Changle's request, salt, iron, and tea were collected as franchises,

The tax collected greatly filled the treasury,
Let the bandits have more confidence,
Lu Changle will not easily give up taxes for short-term popular support,

Li Zicheng is the best negative example,

In the beginning, in order to increase strength and buy people's hearts,
It is proposed to equalize the land and not pay grain,

The slogan was raised in Shaanxi,

But all the common people thought that there was no need to pay the King Chuang,
Having raised so many troops, officials, and family members accompanying the army,

The common people don't pay food, and Li Zicheng can't conjure up money and food out of thin air.

We can only bite the bullet and snatch the wealthy gentry,
All kinds of money-grabbing,

The team is mixed with dragons and snakes, and the quality is very poor.
As a result, Li Zicheng's word-of-mouth personality quickly collapsed,
In the end, he became a street mouse that everyone shouted and beat.

After taking down Zhang Xianzhong,

It took half a year for the Township Protection Army to level up all the famous and powerful forces in China.
Shi Daxuan, Chen Jinchi, and Yan Mingxuan who lived in Jilong Mountain saw that the situation was not good,
Chen Jinchi took some of his men and left for Luzon.
Said to be a happy person,

Shi Daxuan and Yan Mingxuan led their troops to surrender,
Become a part of the Fujian Navy.

Before absolute force, it took a full year to complete,
The main reason is that there are many problems left over from history,

Especially in relation to some clan property,
Many cunning gentry want to evade taxes by merging fields into family property.

There are also people who bury their ancestors in the fields. When the fields are divided,
can't move easily,
As the head of the back office, Lu Changfu lost his legs during this year.

This year, Lu Changle has not been idle,

Started the reorganization of the army under his command,
There are also many colleges and research institutes,

popularize education, promote scientific research,
Lu Changle is like a chief designer,

Immerse myself in formulating various policies every day,
Build the China in your mind,
I'm too busy, my son won't be able to go back when he's out of the moon,
Just chose a Zhenzhong name for him,

I wanted Yang Xuan to bring his son to the capital to reunite with him,

But the second uncle and mother-in-law disagreed,

Said that the child is too young to toss about on the road,
Besides, the world is not very peaceful, and there are still small groups of thieves who occasionally make trouble.
Lu Changle knew that the old man was relatives from generation to generation, so he couldn't force it.

We can only express our heartfelt feelings to each other by writing letters.

Lu Changle is not in a hurry about when his wife and children will come to the capital.
After the capital experienced the plague and the scourge of Li Zicheng,

Become riddled with holes and depression,
Especially on the night when Li Zicheng withdrew from the capital,
There will be no military discipline in the city, all kinds of robbery, smashing and bullying,

When it's over, kill people and set fire to wipe out traces.
If Yang Xuan saw the ruins of the capital at that time,
Will definitely be disappointed,

It's better to restore the prosperity here and give her a surprise.

Lu Changle is not in a hurry, but the people around him and his subordinates are almost going crazy,
At the beginning, the troops in Lu Changle's hands,
The rural protection army plus the naval division totaled more than 7 people.

Not even a Zuo Liangyu can compare,

After taking Jianlu, the new Eight Banners and the newly recruited troops from Fujian,
Just not counting the more than [-] militia groups mobilized at any time,

The total force exceeds 20,

A governor can no longer satisfy Lu Changle,
Although many people persuaded Lu Changle to proclaim himself emperor in Shenyang,
Including Dorgon, Azige, Daishan, Zu Zerun and others,

But Lu Changle refused, and only proclaimed himself the Governor of Fujian,

Many people think that Lu Changle cares about his reputation,

After all, he was still the governor of the Ming Dynasty.

First, Chongzhen hanged himself and died for the country.
Then conquer Jianzhou and the whole territory of Mongolia,
Powers from all walks of life heard the news and came to vote,

Lu Changle's current strength should be around 45.

The forces of all sizes in the Ming Dynasty were wiped out,
Because of the division of fields and land, the hearts of the people have never been higher,

Lu Changle didn't move at all,

Lu Changle, who is the great governor, is not in a hurry to become emperor,

But those subordinates still want to be promoted,

Concealed, implying in the letter that the enemy has been wiped out, and the next step can be considered,
Directly, ask Lu Changle directly in the letter when he will become emperor, don't forget his credit,

After Lu Changle finished reading, he just gently put it aside,
A boiled duck cannot fly,
First resolve internal conflicts,

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are fights.
When there is an enemy, everyone can unite as one, unanimously,
When the external enemies are gone, the internal contradictions are gradually exposed,

simply put,
Those of the direct line look down on those of other races,

Foreign nationals look down on those with bad records, such as bandits and bandits.

Those with a bad record and underestimated the conquered Jianlu New Eight Banners,

The New Eight Banners are not the lowest, they look down on their own slaves,

Lu Changle was confused by these people,

Soon the order will be sent down in the form of military order,

Those who have done a lot of meritorious service and have been in the army for a long time will be given preferential treatment when promoted.
All are treated equally,

Fights in the military are strictly prohibited.

One case is found, one case is severely punished,
It was also instructed by Minnan Express to publicize the origins of the hundred surnames:
For example, the surname "Zhang" was originally Huangdi's grandson Hui, who was given the name "Zhang" by the Yellow Emperor because of his good archery skills;
For example, the "Lu" surname, during the Warring States Period, King Xuan of Qi (reigned 319 BC-301 BC) granted the youngest son Tiantong to Lu Township, and his descendants took Lu as their surname;
For example, the surname "Yang" originated from the grandson of King Wu of Zhou, the second son of Shu Yu, and the younger brother of Jinhou Xiefu.At the time of Duke Wu of Jin (the eleventh grandson of Shuyu), he enfeoffed his second son to Yang, and called him Marquis Yang, who was the ancestor of Yang's surname;
For example, the "Li" surname, the Li family originates from the Ying surname, and the blood ancestor is Gaotao (one is Jiuyou, the surname is Ying, and the other is the surname Ji), and Gaotao was appointed as Shun's Dali (the official in charge of criminal law), so The official family is the Li family ("Li" and "Li" are similar in ancient characters), the first is the Li family, and then the Li family;

and so on and so forth,

And each surname has many different sayings,

Taking the surname "Lu" as an example, there are four different sayings,

One is from Lu Zhong. The son of Wu Hui, a descendant of Zhuanxu, was called Zhong. Because he lived in Lu Township, he was called Lu Zhong, and his descendants also took Lu as their surname;

The second is from Tiantong, King Xuan of Qi named his youngest son Tiantong in Lu Township, and his descendants took the land as their surname;
The third is the Rong people with the surname Yun from the Western Zhou Dynasty. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, a group of Rong people entered the residence of the descendants of Lu Zhong and settled down. In the end, they changed their family name to Lu Hunrong, and later founded the country and became a branch of the Lu clan;
The last one is partly derived from the change of surnames of ethnic minorities. For example, during the period of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, because he promoted the Sinicization policy, the Buliugu family was changed to the Lu surname, which was called "Henan's land".

The ancients attached great importance to their origin and surname,

Minnan Express launched a hundred surnames to trace the source,

It also lists the celebrities or allusions that each surname once appeared,
Both the gentry and the common people were in deep sorrow and couldn't help themselves.

It is an honorable thing to do everything possible to inquire about the origin of their surnames or famous people.

If you have a relationship with a celebrity, it is also a matter of honor,
When chatting, I would occasionally say, what kind of officials did my ancestors have, or what achievements did they have?
Immediately, I feel that my identity is different.

As scholar scholars research more and more,

They finally came to a conclusion,
Almost all surnames trace their distant ancestry back to Yandi, Huangdi or their courtiers,
Including many ethnic minorities in the territory,

It is also a branch of descendants of Yanhuang,
In a word, they are all family.

Lu Changle took the opportunity to issue the Governor's Order,
All people are united and friendly, seriously discriminate against each other,

Violators will be punished severely.

November 1644th, [-]
Dorgon, Daishan, Azige, Duoduo, Zu Zehong and others jointly reported,

Voluntarily abolish the Eight Banners system, willing to release all bannermen and slaves,

The wind direction of peaceful coexistence is so obvious,
Dorgon and the others knew that there must be Lu Changle's instigation or acquiescence,
They are very clear about the reason why the cunning rabbit dies and the running dog cooks it.

Your arms can't twist your thighs, so you might as well take the initiative.
If Lu Changle has this intention in his heart and can win his favor,
If Lu Changle didn't have this intention in his heart, he would still refuse,
Lu Changle was too lazy to play tricks on them,

Promise them to be promoted, and then entrusted with reuse,
Then ordered the abolition of the Eight Banners system,

All bannermen and banner slaves immediately become citizens of Jianzhou Province,

Laozhai is of great significance to Dorgon and others.

Lu Changle gave it to Dorgon, Daishan and others,
As for the imperial palace in Shenyang, it became the Jianzhou government office after renovation.

The first governor of Jianzhou was a good old man who acted on behalf of good people.
Who told him to be obedient and have no ambitions.

As for the brave generals like Dorgon, Duoduo, and Azig,
In the west are the Mughal Dynasty, European countries,
In the north is the country of Rakshasa,
In the south, there are Luzon, Siam, Myanmar and other countries,
In the east, there is the Fusang Kingdom that has never reported surrender,
Send them to lead the Jianzhou and Mongolian cavalry to cooperate with the sharp firearms of the rural protection army,
Simply the perfect match.

After solving the internal conflict, Lu Changle heaved a long sigh of relief.

Looking at the Forbidden City that has been repaired for more than a year and has been renewed,
Lu Changle was thoughtful, and said a few words in Lu Changyan's ear,

Soon, carrier pigeons fluttered their wings,

Flap your wings vigorously and fly in all directions,

Those who received the letter from Feige were very excited.

That is the order to rush to the capital,
The world is set, the four seas are one,

It's time for meritorious deeds to be rewarded,

The people who received the order, one by one, dressed up,

Entering Beijing with head held high and swaggering through the market,

As Lu Changle's hometown and birthplace, Fujian,
The team is even bigger,

Lu Jinyuan personally led the Fujian navy and guarded twelve large ships.
The second uncle, Yang Zhengbao and his wife, Yang Xuan's mother and son, and the elders of the Lu and Yang families, Fangtou and others,
And representatives of the friendly clans of the Lu and Yang clans,
Businessmen like Cheng Liye, who supported Lu Changle early, were also invited.
The fleet set sail from the wharf of Min'an Town, raised their oars and sailed, and moved forward at full speed.
Arrive before the end of the year.

On the first day of the first lunar month in 1646 AD,

Surrounded by officials, Lu Changle held his enthronement ceremony in the Golden Luan Hall, the largest palace in the Forbidden City.
Take the name of the country as Xing,
Make Yang Xuan the empress, and his son Zhenzhong the crown prince.

Fu Xiaona is Concubine Shun, Fu Xiaoting is Concubine Ning,
Yang Zhengbao is the Duke of Fujian, Gan Hui is the Duke of England, Lu Jinyuan is the Duke of Lu,

Lu Changwei, Lu Changsheng, Yang Qijun, Lu Changfu, Yang Zhengpu, Lu Changgeng, Lu Siming, and Lu Jindong are the founding county lords,
Lu Changxing, Lu Changyan, Lu Changhe, Cheng Liye, Liu Rufeng, Chen Qi, Song Yingxing and others,

Those who have fought with Lu Changle and made great contributions will get the rewards they deserve.
Dorgon was the first to surrender and made the most contributions. He was named the founding son of the county,
It was Li Dingguo who took refuge in Lu Changle lately.

The level is the same as that of Dorgon, and they are both founding county sons.
Daishan, Azige, Duoduo, and Zu Zerun were also conferred the titles of Founding County Men by virtue of their military exploits.
successfully squeezed into the ranks of the nobility,

For them, being promoted from a prisoner of war is very satisfying.

On the day of ascension to the throne, Lu Changle conferred the titles of four state princes and eight founding county marquises in one go.
There are 32 uncles from Jianguo County, and there are 170 six people from Jianguo County and Jianguo County.
After the awards were awarded, those who were successfully promoted all knelt down and thanked each other.
Lu Changle looked at the people kneeling together in His Highness,
Suddenly recalling that when I first came to this world, when I witnessed the fighting between the Lu and Yang clans,

I came out in my heart [Wang Hou general Xiangning has a kind, monks can do it, thieves can do it, Jianlu can do it, who says he can't do it? ]'s ambition,

At this moment of achievement,
There is a feeling like a world away,
Lu Changle didn't let them flatten immediately,
Said in a seductive tone: "My loves, are you still satisfied with the honors you have been awarded?"

Everyone didn't come back to God at once,
Why is there such a problem?
It is estimated that only those few princes can be really satisfied,

If you are not satisfied, can you still be promoted?
This question is too difficult to answer.

Before they had time to respond, Lu Changle rushed in front of them and said, "There are only a few great achievements. How can a capable person be easily satisfied? On the day I ascended the throne, the Raksha Kingdom did not send an envoy to pay tribute."

"I have decided to punish Rakshasa, which love minister is willing to lead the army?"

Now people are strong and horses are strong, and there are invincible firearms,
It is no exaggeration to say that with the current military strength, the world can be swept away,

Hundreds of thousands of brave and skilled soldiers,

It's a pity that the swords and guns are stored in the warehouse and the horse is released in Nanshan.
Clothes and food every day, embrace left and right,
It is easy to corrode people's fighting spirit,

It's better to let them go to conquer the world,
As for the fact that the Rakshasa Kingdom did not come, it was because I did not notify it at all.
Just find a reason.

This time, not only did the Raksha Kingdom not send a mission to profess Gongna,
Like the Mughal Dynasty, Fusang, Luzon, etc., none of them,
It's not Lu Changle's personality to be content with himself.
As a knowledgeable and ambitious traveler,
The goal is not only poetry and the distance, but also the stars and the sea.

As soon as Lu Changle's words fell,

The eyes of many people kneeling on the ground lit up.
