Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 490 Northern Zhili (fourth more)
The mountains and the sea in the northern Zhili area are solid with gold and soup, surrounded by the sea on the left, Taihang on the right, Juyong in the north, and Heji in the south.

It governs Shuntian (Governing Daxing, Wanping), Baoding, Hejian, Zhending, Shunde, Guangping, Daming, Yongping eight prefectures, as well as Yanqing and Baoan two Zhili prefectures.

The jurisdiction covers the entire city of Beijing, Tianjin, most of Hebei, and parts of Shandong and Henan.

North Zhili Jidian is an important place, the root of the system.

But at the feet of the emperor, the people of Beizhili are indeed the poorest.

The tax imposed by the imperial court on them is slightly looser than that in the south, also because the land in Northern Zhili is barren and the agricultural output is low.

The most important thing is that Beizhili is located in Gyeonggi, and most of the roads are major traffic routes. During this period, there was an endless stream of tribute from foreign barbarians, and there were many corvees, such as receiving husbands, chopping firewood, raising horses, Jingban soap officials, water and horses during World War II, etc. Corvée is the most complicated.

The direct reason for the hardships of the people is that the nobles of the royal family occupied the farmland. Officials at all levels knew that the people had no land and property, but still sent various taxes and labors, which caused the local people to be displaced and complained.

The reason why Beizhili was in such an embarrassing situation was the Ming government's policy of emphasizing the central government and despising the local governments.

The central government constantly competes for local finance and taxation, making the local government have no financial power.

Beizhi belongs to Gyeonggi, and the central government plunders its wealth more than other districts.

It is necessary to make full use of the human and financial resources in the Northern Zhili area to meet the needs of the capital, but also not to make Northern Zhili under the jurisdiction of one person, so as not to pose a threat to the central government.

The Northern Zhili area, which was economically underdeveloped, suffered severe exploitation and plundering, which can be described as worse.

It is probably impossible to fundamentally reverse the Ming court's thinking of valuing the central government and despising the local government, because it has been a problem from ancient times to the present!
When Chongzhen learned that Shunde, Guangping, and Daming were invaded by bandits, he was in a hurry.

Now I heard that there is a rebellion in Tianjin Wei, which is close at hand, and I feel more and more irritable.

Tianjin Wei has soldiers stationed here, which is close to Beijing, with heavy taxes and a lot of labor. Most of them are saline-alkali land, and the people are poor.

But even if it is saline-alkali land, most of it is also occupied by Xungui.

There are often floods, and the common people Duolun are thieves, despising life and death, and it is difficult to govern.

It's all like this, and there is no rebellion yet, all relying on this river to be able to eat, even pirates.

The lights on the pier were brightly lit, and the distribution of money and food was still going on, and the people nearby heard about it, and they rushed to receive the money and food.

Such a good thing, once in a hundred years!
They don't care about their own life and death. Anyway, it's a day to eat and drink, and it's a day to die from cold and hunger.

It's better to die than live!

Before you die, you have to experience life with a full stomach.

Jinmen has never lacked bloody men, but this place is too close to the capital, and if there is a slight uprising, the soldiers will all be extinguished as soon as they arrive.

Even the government has never done this kind of food distribution. Two years ago, there was a famine in Shandong and Tianjin, and the government never gave relief.

They were all left to fend for themselves, and many of them followed the Jurchen Tartars in order to survive.

The lights on the pier are bright, and the boats are swaying, leaving this place and docking on the shore.

They were not greedy either, they ran away after receiving the things, and everyone knew that the imperial army would come.

He Jinzhao was sitting on the bench, beside shopkeeper Lin and Wang Tu, who were kneeling, staring at each other.

Wang Tu used to think shopkeeper Lin was unattainable, but he never thought that everyone would be reduced to prisoners today.

Look at his unpromising appearance, he is not like the rumors, he is the emperor of the Dazhigu Wharf?
Didn't it mean that the emperor had to wait for his consent if he wanted to wear the new dragon robe?
Otherwise, we will not be able to cross this canal!
Wang Tu couldn't figure it out, the shopkeeper Lin came to make things difficult for Liang Fu, how could this master still have a violent temper, and immediately went on a killing spree, becoming a rebel in the court!
Didn't they go to the capital to deliver the good news to the emperor?

From what he said when he served the general (Gao Yingxiang), he seemed to have beheaded Zijin Liang, the leader of the bandit!

How can you be a rebel with a bright future?

Shopkeeper Lin couldn't figure it out why He Jinzhao didn't just kill him, but wanted to save his own life.

All his rear men on the pier today were completely helpless in the face of the pursuit of heavy cavalry and light cavalry.

Daming's army, how was this gang so powerful?
He Jinzhao didn't say much while holding the food.

I don't know if Chongzhen can receive the news tonight, and even if he receives the news, whether he can immediately dispatch troops to counter the rebellion.

He believed that Chongzhen would not allow the emergence of rebels in Beizhili, but he had serious doubts about whether Daming could quickly upload and dispatch.

"Brother He, do you want to organize this group of people to revolt?" Gao Yingxiang put down the chopsticks in his hand:
"My subordinates reported to me that more than 500 people wanted to rebel, otherwise they would not be able to run away when the imperial army came."

"It's good, someone has to stand out for this kind of thing." He Jinzhao said while eating the dish:

"Brother Gao must organize these people and let them go to Shandong to become rebels, whether it is to join the White Lotus Sect.

It's better to be independent, we can't take them wandering around the capital. "

"Yes, it's a pity."

Gao Yingxiang also knew that after a wave of uprisings on the Grand Canal, they could not lead these people.

History has proved that there is almost no way out for an uprising in the capital.

But Gao Yingxiang thinks it's normal. They are all individuals in Shaanxi, and the forces raised by raising their arms will form a group, and then jointly fight against the government.

Now these people acquiesced that they and He Jinzhao were their leaders.

But this trip is to get close to the capital and turn him upside down.

What should be discarded must be discarded.

"Three days later, let these insurgents rush to Shandong to act as our real bodies."

He Jinzhao put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand and raised a sentence.

"Ah."

Gao Yingxiang nodded, there are rebels in Tianjin Wei, the imperial court will definitely come to put down the rebellion.

At that time, it will be difficult to distinguish the true from the false, which will just attract the attention of the imperial army and facilitate their entry into the capital.

It is impossible for Chongzhen not to send a large army to Tianjin to quickly suppress the rebellion. Once the water transportation is cut off, it will be greatly affected.

The year before last, the Jurchen Tartars wandered around the hinterland of Gyeonggi for several months, causing many immeasurable losses to the "imperial relatives" in the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

They think that Ming's army can't beat the Jurchen Tartars, or you bunch of stinky beggars?

Whether public or private, they will encourage Chongzhen to destroy bandits and protect their farms.

Life in Beijing will be affected, not to mention border food.

When dealing with the Houjin Tartars, Liaodong soldiers were already at a disadvantage, and if they didn't have enough to eat, it would be too serious.

If they didn't voluntarily surrender to Houjin, they would be worthy of Daming's cultivation.

"What's going on in Tianjin City?"

"The governor ordered the city gates to be closed, and the fast horses were also released. It is estimated that they are sending a letter to Beijing, and they will be able to arrive in Beijing tonight."

"Tomorrow, let's go to Tianjin, thirteen miles away, to have a look."

"it is good."

He Jinzhao responded with a laugh and said, "When we get the exact news of the imperial court dispatching troops, we will rush to Hexiwu (Wuqing), where there is a Chaoguan."
