my days with tyrants

Chapter 204

At this time, another rumor was also fermenting.

In the east of Taiyuan City, the Tenth Camp of Yuci County.

"Are you talking nonsense?"

A group of young adults surrounded a young man.

"Why did I lie to you? The river god has been the river god in the Yellow River for more than 200 years, and has been living very well. It's not like we haven't been to Shanzhou. Have you heard of the river god before? Then why did you show up at this time? Isn't it? The reappearance of the dragon spirit of the Great Song Dynasty alarmed the River God. Knowing that the blood of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty still exists, did he show up to restore the Great Song State?
Then who is the blood of the Great Song Emperor?
Ambassador Yang!
This is well known.

The White Lotus Sect said that he was the reincarnated king of Ming, and there had long been rumors in the south of the Yangtze River that he was Han Lin'er reborn, and that he had been taught by Huizong in Huining.

Anything after 600 years is deceptive.

He just wants to revive the Song Dynasty.

Maybe the river god was summoned by him, otherwise why did the river god appear all of a sudden?

They are acting. "

said the young man.

"It makes sense, it's frightening to think about it carefully!"

A middle-aged man said empathetically.

Everyone also looked suddenly enlightened.

"Then we must choose the Great Song Dynasty. The River God is a god. At that time, we must support Ambassador Yang as the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. Ambassador Yang is such a good person. We followed Ambassador Yang last time and ate dry food every day. Every now and then, there will be more. Meat, wages are paid every day, which emperor is so good?
During the Hu and Yuan Dynasties, the levies were violent and the Zhu family had strict rules, making it difficult to do business.

What's more, all the officials are from the south.

If Ambassador Yang became the emperor, wouldn't we be happy. "

said another.

"Correct!"

"Ambassador Yang is a good man!"

……

Then one piece goes along.

Yuci is the closest to Taiyuan. The last time Yang Feng hired Yangqu during the siege of Prince Jin’s Mansion, they were Yangqu, Yuci, and Taiyuan counties. However, Yangqu County was later because it was in the city, but Yuci could do it later. It is said that they were the first to be hired in large numbers.It can be said that they were the ones who enjoyed the longest blessing with Yang Feng last time. They still miss the days when they had enough to eat, eat meat and drink wine and still receive high salaries. Of course, they regard Ambassador Yang as a living Bodhisattva.

"Not only that, I heard Lao Wang next to Ambassador Yang say that Ambassador Yang seems to be negotiating with the god of the river. If Shanxi returns to the Song Dynasty, we will implement equalization of land and free grain in Shanxi."

said the young man.

"what?"

……

There were screams all around.

"Think about it, the God of the River is a god. Of course the gods don't ask for money from the world. Maybe they will return to his god's mansion after the restoration of the Great Song Dynasty. Ambassador Yang has the ability to open a factory and a bank in the capital. He earns more than a year. There are still many taxes in Shanxi Province. He is also proficient in various methods and can turn Huining into a granary. Lao Hu, you have been to Huining. You know where it is. What kind of skill is it to turn it into a granary? It is not an exaggeration to turn a stone into gold. Even he can touch a stone into gold. If he goes to Liaodong, Liaodong will have silver mountains to mine. If he goes to Fusang, Fusang will have silver that is said to be inexhaustible. Use it to search from us ordinary people?
Ambassador Yang would probably take a look at our small amount of money.

What tax does he collect?
As for the equalization of land, it seems to be mentioned by the god of the river. The god of the river said that if the people all choose the Song Dynasty, he will have to give some gifts to the people after all.

Let all have land. "

The young man said excitedly.

Those young and strong people were very excited, and they had to say that equalizing the land and exempting grain was an absolutely unsolvable killer in any feudal era. Even at this time, the problem of land annexation was not very serious, and the proportion of self-cultivating farmers in Shanxi was already very high. But equalizing land and exempting grain is still enough to make them excited.

What's more, this is indeed very possible.

Wherever Ambassador Yang goes, he can turn a stone into gold.

It's not that Jin merchants don't go to Liaodong. Now Liaowang's place is very prosperous, and the silver mines in Liaodong are already being mined. food.

And the harvest is not bad.

The yield per mu of soybeans planted is higher than that of Shanxi.

Not to mention that the mountains of gold and silver in the Japanese country have been blown up as if digging a stone in the past can turn into gold and silver in an instant.

He has this ability, how can he need Shanxi's tax of 200 million shi that year?
"But even if we choose Da Song, then the Emperor Zhu will agree? If he doesn't agree in the end, will he have to fight? It's only been more than [-] years of Ansheng's life, and we can't fight anymore."

Another said with concern.

In fact, everyone is not stupid, and they can guess that Shanxi belongs to the people's choice. This is a bit naive.

but……

"What are you afraid of? We have the God of the River and Ambassador Yang. They are gods and invincible. As long as they can't win, the emperor is old, and there are not many veterans left. Only Wei Guogong In this way, can you beat Ambassador Yang?

What's more, those military households are also human beings, so they don't want to share the land without food? "

The person next to him said.

"Yes, we have gods. How can we lose with Ambassador Yang leading us? Let's choose Da Song. If Wei Guogong dares to break his promise, we will drive him out of Shanxi, and we will support Ambassador Yang as emperor!"

said another.

The key is not the choice of the common people, but the God of the River and Ambassador Yang. They support the choice of the common people. Of course, the choice of the common people cannot determine the ownership of Shanxi, but the combination of God of the River and Ambassador Yang is enough to determine the ownership of Shanxi.One of them is a god with boundless magic power, and the other is an invincible general. If they join forces, there is no way that Ming can defeat them.As long as the common people make a choice, as long as they support the common people's choice, then the Emperor of Ming also has no choice but to accept the reality.

That's the point.

"Yes, choose Da Song!"

"We can't just choose by ourselves, we can split up and tell other capitals, other counties, let's choose Da Song together!"

……

The young adults were excited.

It seems that they have seen the scene of living a good life with Ambassador Yang.

Of course, they didn't know that Ambassador Yang deliberately spread these.

but……

Fu Song?

What a hairy Song!

Does Ambassador Yang have a lot of affection for the owner of the cellar in Wuguocheng?
He tolerated this title only after holding back his disgust.

But you can use this slogan to make things happen!
His fundamental purpose is to cultivate a group of rebellious people who can think independently, but if the people who have been tamed by the imperial power for generations learn to think independently, they must first let them break free from the imperial power ideologically, and they have to redefine themselves and the imperial power. relationship, and the current imperial power is Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial power and Daming's imperial power, so they must first be separated from Daming.

Leave first, then talk about other things.

the next day.

"You have to be a traitor first!"

Ambassador Yang sighed.

Wang Ping leaned over anxiously...

"Ambassador, there were rumors last night that the imperial court wanted to slaughter Jin in five ways, and now the people are a little uneasy."

he said cautiously.

Of course, it is more accurate to say that the elders are very disturbed.

These old guys are very afraid of death. Although they have the support of Ambassador Yang, they still need Ambassador Yang to give them reassurance.

"Don't worry, don't say that I haven't heard this kind of talk at all. Even if this kind of thing really happens, I will keep you safe and sound. Besides, your emperor is already in his twilight years. He doesn't have the energy to do this. It's enough to worry about his children and grandchildren." He is busy, not to mention that Annan is still being conquered in the south!
Wulu Tujin?

Where can he find the army of Tu Jin of the Five Routes? "

Yang Feng said.

The attack on Annan has already begun.

However, the distance here is too far, and the only news that can be obtained so far is that the army of the king of Chu has crossed the Zhennan Pass, and Annan's defenders surrendered. After all, the banner of the Ming army is to punish Hu Jishou, not to destroy Annan.At this time, because the Ming army conquered the Wa country, it can be said that those small countries trembled. Basically, seeing the Ming army going south, most of the local tyrants in Annan were preparing to welcome the king.However, I didn't plan to encounter real resistance in the north. The main battlefield I envisioned was still the water transportation node of Zhiling.

As for the battle situation, there will be no surprises.

The war with Annan has never been a problem.

As long as the supplies can be delivered, as long as the plague in the rainy season is avoided, beating them is just a trivial matter, the key is to control after the beating, this is the key. Fortunately, there is a Japanese model, and the tyrants in Annan should not mind selling Hu Jiyak.

"Let's just talk about the little ones. There is an ambassador for the little ones to make decisions, so there is nothing to be afraid of."

Wang Ping quickly flattered him.

At this time, rumors have spread at an extremely fast speed.

The elders were also very disturbed.

With Ambassador Yang now, everyone can rest assured.

As for the rumors...

There's nothing weird about that.

With more than 30 people crowded around Taiyuan, what rumors are there?They were all idle at first, so it was strange that there were no rumors in this situation. As for Wulu Tujin, I knew it was all nonsense after thinking about it.It's even more outrageous that the river god wants to share the land without food. Whether the river god or Ambassador Yang is here, when have you ever heard of them having similar intentions?
Besides, these elders actually know some inside information, although it may not be complete, but they are not ignorant.

The river god or something is actually an internal struggle among the top management of Ming Dynasty.

Or the battle for the crown prince.

The Emperor Taisun and Ambassador Yang took advantage of them, they took advantage of this opportunity, and everyone took advantage of each other.

But if you want to say that Ambassador Yang rebelled, just laugh at it.

Similarly, it is even more a joke that Ambassador Yang is a descendant of Song Huizong. Ambassador Yang has long scoffed at this statement, and even when he mentioned Song Huizong, he was obviously full of contempt.

"Are there any candidates?"

Yang Feng asked.

"Returning to the ambassador, it will take a day or two. You also know that there are too many people, and the various clans are dissatisfied with each other. It is difficult to elect at once. Some of them were fighting because of the election yesterday. But the ambassador, please Don't worry, it will be completed the day after tomorrow, and you elders still want to ask the ambassador, who does the ambassador think the people will choose in the end?"

Wang Ping asked.

In fact, they are worried that the people will choose Da Song.

That would be embarrassing.

After all, the elders never thought of rebelling, but if the people voted for Song Dynasty and Wei Guogong refused to keep his promise, they would be caught in the middle, and it could be said that neither of them was human.For Wei Guogong, of course, he knew that they were the organizers. The Wei Guogong would think that they were deliberately rebelling. For the young and strong of his hometown clan, they were the leaders. At this time, they needed to take the lead to force Wei Guogong to keep his promise.

It's a pity that they suddenly became the leaders of the rebellious party.

So they are really worried!
"Is Daming extorting violently?"

Yang Feng asked.

"It's not like that, Your Majesty loves the people like a son, you can collect as much tax as you want, and you don't dare to collect too much for a fight in the local area. If you dare to extort money, your Majesty should be stripped of its bark."

Wang Ping said quickly.

"Then Da Song is better than Daming?"

Yang Feng asked.

"Uh, the little ones don't know what happened to the Song Dynasty. It's almost 300 years ago. Not to mention the young ones, even the youngest ancestors don't remember it, but the second emperor Huiqin of the Great Song Dynasty couldn't even keep his wife and daughter. He was kidnapped like a pig or a dog. Compared with the current emperor, he is really not worthy of carrying shoes. If you want to choose the younger one, of course you choose Daming.

Even though the Ming Dynasty had some bad things, such as too many rules, such as uncomfortable businessmen, such as feudal princes, etc., at least they had the backbone, could fight, and could protect the people to live and work in peace and contentment.Although it is inevitable for the vassal king to oppress the people, compared with Mongolia and Semu, that oppression is not worth mentioning at all.

What kind of bullying is the vassal king, the ambassador has never seen the little ones go there.

At least the vassal king did not dare to kill the people. The tyrannical king of Jin did kill people, but what he killed was his guard military household, and he had no right to control the citizenship of Taiyuan Mansion.

But in the time of Hu Yuan in the past, the lives of our people were worth a donkey.

The little ones really support Daming.

When Hu Yuan was young, they lived like dogs, but in Daming they were at least human beings. "

Wang Ping said.

"Then why are you making trouble with me?"

Yang Feng said.

He didn't expect that this guy had a high opinion of Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Uh, ambassador, people always want to be more important. It's true that the vassal king oppressed the people less than Mongolian Semu did in the past, but wouldn't it be better if we didn't? Although we support the Ming emperor, don't we also think that his rules can be less order?

When there was no chance in the past, the little ones didn't dare. At most, they thought about it in their hearts, but now that there is a chance, why not give it a try?There are ambassadors on the left and right to support the little ones, and His Majesty the Emperor dare not do anything to us. If this happens, wouldn't the little ones live better? "

Wang Ping said.

"People are not satisfied with their sufferings, and now they have to go back to Shu!"

Yang Feng sighed with emotion.

Wang Ping just kept smiling.

So the gentry in the late Ming Dynasty tried it out step by step in this way.

In the face of interests, they are always dissatisfied.

Always look forward to Shu.

They are not disloyal to the Ming Dynasty. In fact, even the Shanxi merchants in the late Ming Dynasty knew that a Han emperor was better than a foreign conqueror after all. People are fellow citizens.Jiannu could kill foodless people like dogs because of lack of food, but when necessary, killing them was like killing dogs, but the Emperor of Ming Dynasty treated them as human beings after all.But in the face of interests, they are always dissatisfied. In front of interests, they will ignore everything else, as long as they can get benefits for themselves, they can do whatever they want.

Even if you betray the Ming Emperor.

Just like now, they know that Zhu Yuanzhang is a good emperor, but in the face of interests, they will still follow Yang Feng to make trouble.
