Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 134

The storm caused by Boss Zhu's fluttering of the butterfly's wings is about to change the world beyond recognition.

Now even the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has come out.

In history, Liu Zhixie was very unlucky. The leader of the White Lotus Sect was reported and arrested when he practiced a certain altar. Not long after, he was executed by the Qing Dynasty like his unlucky father.

And the White Lotus Rebellion in history.

There is no such leader as Liu Zhixie like now, but the White Lotus Sect in various places is doing its own thing, in a state of disunity.

But even so.

It also took the Qing Dynasty a lot of effort to suppress it.

Now this White Lotus Sect is much stronger than the White Lotus Sect in history, at least there is a nominal co-master, and this princess also controls the most powerful Heavenly King Army of the White Lotus Sect.

Now the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has been established.

It is also necessary to divide the land in Shaanxi and implement the reform of the military system.

Fubing was formed in the Northern Wei Dynasty and flourished in the Tang Dynasty.

However, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's Fubing reform is of course impossible to be exactly the same as Datang's Fubing.

The land was allocated to the soldiers of the old battalion and the inner battalion, and the soldiers had to send out each generation to prepare their own armor and horses for combat.

The government soldiers who own land and manors also have the capital to buy excellent weapons, and they also have the motivation to conduct military training and combat.

same.

The decline of the Fubing was also due to the land.

After all, as the upper class in society, Fubing have more reproductive resources than ordinary people, and the offspring of Fubing will increase rapidly.

And there are many descendants.

Land is not enough.

Therefore, Fubing is still very strong in the first two or three generations.

But for Liu Zhixie.

He knew that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom could not get the support of literati and bureaucrats.

Therefore, he wanted to establish fubing manors in various parts of Shaanxi, and use fubing to replace the local rule of the gentry class. From this point of view, at least in terms of the thoroughness of the revolution, what Liu Zhixie did was much more thorough than Zhu Daohua.

And if the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom really completes the military reform in Shaanxi.

I am afraid that the Qing Dynasty will have nothing to do with this Liu Zhixie version of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

"What? The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?!"

Zhu Daohua, who was returning to Guangzhou by sea, got the news that his eyes popped out.

"How could it be the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom? Aren't they the White Lotus Sect? And they don't worship God? How did this get connected?" Zhu Daohua really couldn't figure it out. The boss whose surname is Hong? Even if it is Feng?"

"Your Majesty, there are three kings under Liu Zhixie. There are Di Wang Qilin, Wen Wang Zhang Hanchao, and Wu Wang Yao Zhifu. There are also several generals from the Zhechong Mansion below. There is no Yang or Hong, let alone Feng. .” Gong Zhuman said.

"Then there is no connection?" Zhu Daohua took a deep breath.

Zhu Daohua almost jumped up when he heard the name.

Don't let someone time travel like him, right?
But now it seems.

Liu Zhixie of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom did not show any signs of traversers.

"The government military system, militarization" Zhu Daohua looked at the copy of "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Land Distribution System" in his hand, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

"It seems that I underestimated Liu Zhixie, the White Lotus Sect."

Although the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom that reformed according to this system must be a poor and bubbling country.

But the fighting power is definitely not to be underestimated.

At least it is better than Qianlong's Eight Banners.

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Zhu Daohua told Jin Yiwei to pay close attention to the movements of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Then he concentrated his energy on Daming's own internal reforms.

It is necessary to make ceremonies, sort out the place, and prepare to change Jiangning to Yingtianfu and the central capital of the Ming Dynasty—according to the plan, the northern capital of the Ming Dynasty will be Yanjing, and the southern capital will be in Guangzhou. The original Yingtianfu in Nanjing is the central capital It is all over, and it will also be the permanent residence of the Ming court in the future.

There are still many things.

And Zhu Daohua didn't want to provoke the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom for the time being.

It will take a year or two to complete the internal sorting, as well as proclaiming the emperor's establishment and so on.

Zhu Daohua wanted to take care of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but he didn't have time.

"Have all the prefects from all over the world come to Guangzhou?"

"Except for the prefects of several prefectures in Hunan who are still on their way, the others have basically arrived."

Zhu Daohua nodded upon hearing this.

"There are also famous elders from all over the country, wealthy families, and by the way, all officers and soldiers of the Ming army who have won titles must also be in place."

Zhu Daohua, the ruling foundation of the Ming Dynasty, is actually a half-empire of "the great alliance between the bourgeoisie and the landlord class".

Speaking of the feudal empire, King Ming himself was the biggest businessman.

Let’s say it’s a capitalist country, the local landlords and gentry are quite powerful.

Moreover, Zhu Daohua did not use violent revolution to attack landlords,

So the situation in this country is quite complicated.

It is not Zhu Daohua's decision to make a ceremony, and it is impossible for him to think of all aspects by himself.

So he needs a constitutional committee, er, a ritual committee.

According to Zhu Daohua's idea.

This new ritual is not just as simple as the constitution, but will include all aspects of politics, culture, ethics and so on.

It is both Tianxian and the Chinese version of the Bible.

It is necessary to play the role of restricting the power of all parties and formulating political rules.

It must also play the role of guiding the lives of the Chinese people, distinguishing between the enemy and ourselves, and uniting others.

It can be said that it covers all aspects.

But this is the function of "Zhou Li".

Now the newly formulated Ming Li, of course, should also play these roles.

The Zhou Rites of that year can be said to have laid the foundation for China.

Shouli Huaxia.

Indecent barbarians.

Relying on a ritual, the tribes in the land of China were divided into two parts, and those who recognized the Chinese culture and followed the rituals of China were gradually integrated into the big Chinese family.

Those who do not agree with the rituals of Zhou and do not act in accordance with the rituals will be regarded as barbarians and attacked by Zhu Xia.

Until now.

The basic territory of China, the so-called Eighteen Provinces of Han, is basically still the territory ruled by the Zhou Dynasty.

2000 years have passed.

Later dynasties, on the basis of the Zhou Dynasty in those years, also destroyed the Nanyue Kingdom in the Qin and Han Dynasties, opened up and consolidated Lingnan, and developed Yunnan and Guizhou in the former Ming Dynasty, bringing Lingnan and Yunnan and Guizhou closer to the Han people's basic plate.

Compared with the great expansion of the Zhou Dynasty.

It's just a little ashamed of my ancestors.

Therefore, this ceremony must be properly restrained, and it must not become a death ceremony.

You can't recognize the death ritual, the world is changing, and this ritual must leave a variable system.

It is not easy to do this.

But Zhu Daohua is confident, he is only 27 years old now, even if he can only live to be 60 years old, it will be more than 30 years.

More than 30 years.

It should be enough time to establish and perfect a "Ming Li" that can make his new Ming Dynasty last for seven or eight hundred years, right?

Yangzhou.

The Palace of the Qing Emperor.

It is said that this palace was given to Qianlong by the salt merchants in Yangzhou.

Qianlong traveled to the south of the Yangtze River several times in those years, and the salt merchants in Yangzhou had to bear Qianlong's travel expenses.

For example, there was a great salt merchant named Jiang Chun.

The reputation is quite large.

Also very very rich.

Because of the miracle of "building the White Pagoda with piles of salt overnight, Anhui cuisine took over Emperor Qianlong", it is known as "the best Anhui merchant in the world" who "befriends the emperor with commoner clothes".Jiang Chun has been in business all his life and served as the general merchant for 52 years.

When the Lianghuai Salt Transport Envoy left Beijing to pay a visit, Emperor Qianlong said, "Jiangguangda is an old man who can consult with you."

Being able to get such an evaluation from Qianlong shows that Jiang Chun's status was so high at that time.

According to "Yangzhou Painting Boat Records", Jiang Chun served as the general merchant for 40 years, and was successively rewarded by Qianlong with the title of "Minister Fengchen Yuanqing of the Ministry of Internal Affairs" and the title of "Doctor Guanglu".

But it is such a Yangzhou salt merchant known as the best in history.

In his later years, his family declined, and he died sadly in poverty.

The reason is the extravagance and endless donations for receiving the emperor to the south of the Yangtze River every year.

So this Yangzhou salt merchant as a whole is of course a representative of the rich and wealthy.

But in front of Qianlong.

They are a herd of cows.

But now just drinking milk can no longer satisfy Qianlong's appetite.

He's going to eat beef now.

Bang bang bang.

Now he is constantly kowtowing, his head is bleeding and the unlucky guy who didn't stop him at all is called Huang Juntai, who is now the general merchant of Yangzhou salt merchants.

"Your Majesty, the 2000 million taels of silver, even if you ransacked the Yangzhou businessman's house, you won't be able to get it out!"

Huang Juntai kowtowed and howled.

Copying the house will definitely not make so much money.

But if you copied the shops of these Yangzhou salt merchants, maybe there would be one.

"Hmph! Who doesn't know that you Yangzhou salt merchants are the richest in the world, how can you not get 2000 million, and dare to send me with only 500 million? Do you think I'm a beggar?"

Qianlong said with a cold snort.

Huang Jun was so frightened that his whole body went limp, and he fell to the ground with a puff.

But I was thinking in my heart.

Long live God, that is 500 million, 500 million taels of silver, have you ever seen someone send a beggar for 500 million taels of silver?

"Huang Juntai, don't lie down on the ground, you can just ask if you can take the 2000 million!" Qianlong said coldly.

2000 taels of silver.

There is no room for negotiation at all.

Or take it yourself.

Either
He sent troops to get it!
This Zhu Daohua only wants me not to plunder the common people, and the common people do not include the Yangzhou salt merchants!
Moreover, this Yangzhou salt merchant, like the merchants of the Thirteen Banks, was also raised by the Qing court.

Salt was exclusively sold by the imperial court.

These salt merchants are able to sell salt all over the world, relying on the salt introduction given by the Qing Dynasty-in other words, this Yangzhou salt is also a product of monopoly management.

If they did not cling to the Qing court, it would be absolutely impossible for Yangzhou salt merchants to have so much money.

"Your Majesty, the 2000 million is really too much. We need running water to do business. What are you doing? Take all the water out of this pool, so how can the salt merchants do business?"

Huang Juntai said tremblingly.

Who cares if you can do business.

I just want money!

"Can't get it out? I remember that you guys are richer than those Cantonese guys from the Thirteen Banks. Do you know how much tax they paid Zhu Daohua last year?"

"A full 1000 million! 1000 million silver!"

Qianlong stretched out a finger.

"Ten million was paid in taxes alone, and filial piety and donations were not counted."

"You say that people can give you 1000 million, but you are pushing back and forth when you give 2000 million. I think you are clear-minded and clear!"

"Come here! Take off Huang Juntai's crown and put him in death row!!"

"Forgive me, Your Majesty, forgive me!" Huang Jun, who was thumping and kowtowing on the ground, was so frightened that he almost peed.

As soon as Qianlong waved his hand, he was immediately dragged down by two Eight Banners soldiers.

"Seize all Yangzhou salt merchants' residences and business halls, arrest all salt merchants, and torture them severely. Be sure to torture all their money!"
