Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 693 Lincoln's Conspiracy
This is also used in the politics class. Everything is controlled by an invisible hand behind everything, that is, the law of market economy. By the end of March, the landlord families who drove out the tenants had begun to realize it. No, this time, the country actually used its astonishing financial resources and background to eat up these refugees who were driven out to make trouble. The refugees did not cause social turmoil and forced Song Qingshu to bow his head. On the contrary, they were more and more integrated into the new social division of labor. On the contrary, without the huge vassals in their hands to support the operation of the land, it is useless to own rice paddies even across the state and county, and cannot be transformed into food and wealth. The aristocratic families will only decline day by day and become more and more irrelevant.

This is just like later generations, more and more young people in rural areas choose to work in cities, the original compact land policy becomes more and more loose, and contracting large pieces of land becomes cheap and easy, but there are fewer and fewer people If you are willing to face the loess and turn your back to the sky to earn this hard-earned money that looks at God's face, farmers are increasingly unable to recruit people, instead of the previous tenants begging to farm.

However, the dice of fate had fallen, and it was useless to regret it. Many landlord families finally began to lose face, begging the original serfs and tenants to continue to help them plow the land, just like this big family.

It's a pity that if they had been trapped in the farm before, these tenants couldn't help being cowardly and narrow-minded, but after coming out for a month, after seeing more choices, their hearts have become bigger and wilder, and they can change to a new life way, who would want to go back and continue to work tirelessly to support these literary landlords?
Zhang Dahu, who came to the door with a gift, plunged Zhao Dou's family into a conservative and radical debate. At this time, the two sons were unwilling to go back with Zhao Dou anyway.

…………

Beginning in early April, the fertile land in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which used to be very expensive, suddenly became worthless. Aristocratic landlords who lacked labor began to sell a large number of them. They are sold outside, and often no one cares about them. Within a month, the traditional economy in the south of the Yangtze River has been greatly impacted. They began to recruit workers to plant mulberry fields, tea trees, sugar cane, and oil crops, and some of them were unwilling to perish. This began a frenzied risk-taking.

Zhejiang Yiwu!
This is not the world-famous small commodity trading city nowadays, and the bosses driving luxury cars and even helicopters are everywhere. On the contrary, the land in Yiwu in this era is quite barren and there is no output. It is an out-and-out poor place. Fortunately, There are mines in Yiwu Mountain, but this special product has also attracted others' coveting.

Decades ago, Qi Jiguang, who came back to his hometown to visit his relatives, witnessed the historic fighting in Yiwu. Tens of thousands of men, women, old and young went to battle, carrying hoes, kitchen knives, and sticks. Lost in a war to the death, the father died and the son succeeded, the man died, the family and his wife went to the house, and even the little dolls of a few years old joined the fight with weapons. A rural fight with weapons lasted for six or seven months, with nearly 8000 people killed and injured Qi Jiguang was deeply moved by the bravery of the Yiwu people, and thus, the Qi Family Army, which shined throughout the entire era, came into being.

But what Qi Jiguang brought to Yiwu's children has not changed much except for the honor. Even the mine has been lost. After decades of operation, Yiwu's mountain mine has fallen into the hands of the mine tyrants Zhang and Liu. The parasite family firmly maintains the mining and sales of minerals. Ordinary Yiwu people can only rely on two families, risking their lives to work in the low, damp and easy-to-collapse mines, and most of the results are lost to the two families. Give it away and enjoy it.

I don’t know how many Yiwu children die in the mine every year, and the two families are extremely vicious. If others dare to open the mine without passing them in Yiwu, they will be killed and buried in the mine that was opened. The roots are intertwined, and the government also accepts bribes. Zhang Dahu and Liu Dahu are the local emperors of Yiwu.

But their domineering days have finally come to an end today with Song Qingshu's "Declaration of Human Rights".

The troops of the five divisions went under the mine, besieging the lairs of the Zhang and Liu families, and the two families seemed to have launched the final madness, encouraging tens of thousands of absentees with their dog legs to block the road into the mountain. Yan Shishi, the strength of Yiwu Armed Fighting was brought out again.

"Brothers! Fathers and folks, the imperial court has no way! They sent troops to grab the lives of our young and old in Yiwu! Without mines, everyone will have no way of life and will starve to death! If you don't want to starve to death, follow me and fight back. Officers and soldiers, a family rewards five taels of silver!"

Standing in the middle of the crowd full of style, Zhang's mine with its big head and Liu's with its big belly are still mourning in the crowd. Five taels of silver may be the savings that these miners can't save for more than [-] years Yes, it really boosted morale, carrying hoes and pickaxes, each mountain boy roared and rushed forward.

But in front of them is not the decadent and cowardly Daming Guard Army in the past, but the Beifu Volunteer Army who defended the new regime and fought bloody battles with Jiannu. Facing the swarming miners, the 79th Division of Beifu marched in neat rows. The 84th Division picked up the firecrackers, and behind them, dozens of cannons also raised their muzzles.

Crackling ~ boom ~ boom ~

A large cloud of white smoke enveloped the position in an instant, and a huge roar also sounded in Yiwu Mountain, but there were no huge casualties. This time it was considered a shot of mercy. In front of the charging Yiwu miners, the cannon was raised a few points and hit the mountain.

It is true that Yiwu came out of the Qi’s army, but it cannot be said that Yiwu is the Qi’s barracks. After a burst of roaring cannons, seeing the screaming miners who fell down with their legs in front of them and the collapsed mountain behind them immediately knocked out the turbulent movement of the miners. Morale shouted again, and thousands of Yiwu miners ran back in panic.

"Kill! Fight! Don't run! I said don't run, go back and fight! Fight!"

In the crowd, the two miners Zhang Datou and Liu Dawei are still screaming and inciting in the crowd. Unfortunately, the Yiwu miners at this time are no longer the Yiwu miners who defended their homeland in the past, and five taels of silver are not enough. It's worth working hard for two bastards who bully me on weekdays.

The Ming army, striding forward, quickly occupied the mine, and the rebellion was wiped out.

But promoting one's beliefs violently is not the ultimate goal. The ultimate goal is to truly penetrate the beliefs and let everyone support them from the bottom of their hearts.

In the next two days, the circuit court of the Ministry of Criminal Justice held a public trial in this Yiwu mine, and made the crimes of the two mine bosses public. No wonder Lu Xun said that this is the old society of cannibalism, and these two big families are really like this.

Bullying men and women, running rampant, colluding with the government, and disregarding human life are nothing. Liu Dawei once deliberately detonated the mine pit and buried more than a hundred strong men in Hedong Village who refused to accept the two mine bullies. People point out that I don’t know where he met a foreign monk. It is said that using children’s brains can strengthen yang and kidneys. At least 20 children whose brains have been dug out are buried under the yard of his house.

These two families were also searched out the letterheads that contacted Jiannu and the account books that provided weapons for Jiannu. The two of them were responsible for the massacre of Jiangnan people by Jiannu. This crime is really too numerous to write down.

At first, he was still resistant to the fierce prestige of the two men, and the miners in the mine did not dare to stand up and accuse him, but he couldn't bear the bloody debt. When the first man jumped out angrily and roared, the torrent was opened. The public trial lasted for three days. On the third day, Zhang Datou and Liu Dawei, two mining tyrants, and two families with dozens of blood debts almost climbed to the guillotine crying and shouting. Beaten to death by angry miners.

Dozens of heads were beheaded, and the huge mine was redistributed. The newly formed state government in Jinhua Prefecture took this mine as state-owned and managed it. However, tens of thousands of miners were allocated shares and could mine in It took only a few days for these Yiwu absentees to know how much wealth was swallowed up by the two families, and they became supportive of Song Qingshu and the Yingtian regime.

However, this is just the beginning!
In less than ten days, a special force was assembled in Yiwu, and was immediately transferred to the front line of Xianxialing. Not only Yiwu, Jinhua, Hangzhou, Chuzhou, Wenzhou, but also many such special forces, these people The only commonality among them is that their family members served as soldiers in the Kingdom of Lu Wangjian. With the withdrawal of King Lu Jianguo to Fujian, there were more than [-] Zhejiang soldiers.

The greatest president of the United States first promoted Washington, followed by Lincoln who ended the Civil War and brought freedom to black people. In his hands, the United States completed an important step towards a modern country. However, at the beginning of the Civil War, the North was not. After a lot of feng shui, on the contrary, he was defeated by the south that had been prepared for a long time.

At the critical moment, Lincoln issued the Proclamation for the Emancipation of Black Slaves, and won the black slaves who were the driving force and productivity of the war in the southern slave states to his side. Thousands of black slaves fled to the north to join the northern army, occupying the right time and place After Renhe, the bourgeois army in the north successfully destroyed the main force of Robert Lee's southern coalition forces and unified the United States again.

As a time traveler, the biggest advantage is knowing the classic strategies in history, which can be used for oneself. Song Qingshu's "Declaration of Human Rights" borrowed from Lincoln's strategy. In Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Jiangxi, which were still in rebellion, the land rights of various manor owners were no longer protected by the constitution, and serfs could legally occupy their land, which was exactly the same as Lincoln's scheme.

The rest is how to let people in these places know this time.

On April [-]th, [-] miles outside Xianxia Pass, tens of thousands of special forces gathered together who did not look like an army. Liu Zongmin, who was full of beards, stood passionately on the general platform, clanging his eyes The crowd roared.

"The commander-in-chief does not ask you to fight. What the commander-in-chief needs is just to let you tell the truth to your loved ones in Fujian who are still suffering under the control of the rebel King Lu, and tell them to come back and enjoy a new life. They, come back! Daming will open his arms for these wanderers again! Tell them!"

Not only miners and tenant farmers, this time Song Qingshu also completely overthrew the military household system of Ming Taizu for generations. The army of Ming Dynasty came from recruitment instead of using guards. The military households trapped for more than 200 years were also given Knowing liberation, listening to Liu Zongmin's roar, tens of thousands of people also shouted in unison.

"Willing to serve the Marshal!"
