I'm a big dick

Chapter 382 "Take it" Ling Chi, Ping Liao Debt

"Soldiers, the Great Wall of the country; Soldiers, the most important weapon of the country; Soldiers, the backbone of the country...remember the stone, and enjoy the incense, and look up to all generations..."

Two suddenly becomes four, which is sound, and then eight, which is sixteen.The gradual shock is 32.At the bottom, there are 360 ​​generals of the Han Dynasty, and the unison should be like thunder!
Through the continuous repetition and amplification of the Han generals, the emperor's words clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

This is the emperor's golden words, giving soldiers the highest evaluation and the highest definition.This is the highest word of praise that has never been seen in all dynasties, and it will leave a strong mark in the history books.

Feng Datie and two officers climbed onto the tower, knelt down on one knee, and received the military flag presented by the emperor himself, their hands trembling slightly with excitement.Even in the face of the surging Jiannu attack, it has never happened.

Zhu Youxiao smiled and nodded, and said loudly: "I hope you will be as firm as a rock, and make new achievements."

"Long live, long live, long live!" The three bowed their heads in thanks, got up and retreated from the tower.

The banner was as bright red as blood, with three bright yellow mountains in the middle, and the word "rock" embroidered in gold thread on it.

Bright yellow, only the royal family can use it, even the emperor's clothing can be used.Now being bestowed as a teacher of the journey, the gift can be seen.

The flag was waved in front of the army, and the sound of "long live" was ushered in again.

Next, a group of soldiers took off the flags and heads from the carts, and piled them up under the watchful eyes of the emperor on the Meridian Gate tower.

"One, two, three..." The guard officer in charge of supervision called out the number loudly, and then the guards behind him repeated in unison, and finally even the people watching from a distance could clearly hear it.

In the bloody battle against the two Red Banners in southern Liaoning, Zhenjiang repelled the Zhengbai Banner, Nong'an wiped out Amin's troops, and there were several small battles. The total number of heads was 650.

The common people heard clearly and made a loud noise.All previous successes, this time is the highest.They still don't know that there are more Jiannu killed than heads captured.

Hehe, Eight Banners, now there are only the original Six Banners at most, Zhu Youxiao sneered.

After counting the heads, it was the captured flags, and finally the captured prisoners.

Announcing the news in advance, the effect of preparing in advance is quite good.

The people in the capital are very enthusiastic, and there are quite enough things prepared for Amin and other prisoners.Rotten leaves, rotten eggs, rubbish, etc., all fell on them during the parade.

The emperor who was far away on the tower of the Meridian Gate seemed to smell the stench when he saw that the wooden cage of the prison car was already shaped like a garbage truck.

The chief officer, Xiao Yuefeng, led his left and right servants to go out to report the incident, counting the crimes of slavery, and asked the emperor to behead the prisoner, "Let's go to Shicao for execution, please order."

Da Si Kou is good, there are hundreds of words, and every word is loud and comfortable.

Zhu Youxiao brewed his emotions, and felt that his voice was fine, so he said loudly, "Take it!"

As soon as the golden mouth was opened, first the left and right Xunqi, then the ministers passed the dragon, the number changed from small to large, and finally the 360 ​​generals of the Han Dynasty repeated the order in unison.

I don't know how to roar like a lion, but I have big horns in unison!Hearing the thunderous male voices, Zhu Youxiao pursed the corners of his mouth, showing a smile that was not a smile.

All the prisoners of Jiannu were sent to Caishikou to be executed in Lingchi. This should be the favorite program of the common people.You have something to talk about after tea, and you seldom see such a big scene in your life, right?

The bloody and cruel scene has a different kind of stimulation.Especially seeing the miserable state of the enemy and hearing their wailing and screaming...

Forget it, I'm always too soft-hearted!The emperor waved his robe sleeves, turned and walked down the tower.

At this point, the carefully prepared prisoner offering ceremony was completed.But all the things that happened around this carefully prepared prisoner offering ceremony will last for a long time.

If only a few butchers were killed, the emperor would obviously not be satisfied.It is good to use people even after they are dead, even if they are angry with old slaves.He's in his seventies and eighties, and he's still injured all over his body. Maybe he'll burp if he doesn't come up in one breath!
Moreover, while Amin and other prisoners were still on the way to be escorted, the emperor began to arrange them.It is estimated that the news will soon reach Jiannu's ears.

As for the captives of the Horqin Department, they were never brought into the capital, let alone participated in the prisoner offering ceremony. They were all locked up somewhere outside the city!
However, the holding of the prisoner offering ceremony still reached the ears of Hailanzhu and Bumbutai.

These two girls were imprisoned in the Huanyi Bureau, and the Huanyi Bureau was the only one of the Eight Royal Bureaus outside the imperial city.Except for the eunuchs who are the administrators, there are generally two kinds of people here: one is the old maids who are placed here to wait for death; the other is the concubines and maids who were punished.

If understood literally, the Huanyi Bureau is for washing clothes.This kind of explanation is not comprehensive. Laundry is only one aspect, and on the other hand, it is equivalent to a lifelong imprisonment for a court lady.

Because according to the rules of the palace, even if the maid is old, she cannot be free.

When they are not of much use, they will be sent here, and the eunuch in charge here will provide rations, do some hard work that can be done, and stay in the clothing bureau until they die.

At the same time, the Huanyi Bureau also has the function of punishing concubines and palace servants who have been convicted.

For example, the Hakka family, after Chongzhen came to power, sent him to the Huanyi Bureau.The eunuch of the Huanyi Bureau understood, beat him to death with a random stick, burned him and scattered the ashes, and it was over.

But since the second year of Tianqi, the function of the Clothes Bureau has been reduced, it is to wash clothes and do rough work.The rules of the royal family have also changed. The palace servants are paid, and they will be released from the palace when they reach the age.

At the same time, Zhang Guoyuan, who is more upright, served as the palm seal of the Huanyi Bureau, and he was not allowed to abuse the palace people.It is tiring to do rough work, but there are no more examples of being tortured to death.

The two girls were not locked in the small black room, but they worked, ate, and rested with others.But it is impossible to escape.

The news of the prisoner gift had spread long ago, and even the people in the Clothes Bureau knew about it.The two girls were worried, wondering how their relatives would be treated?
"They were taken to Caishikou to be hacked to pieces!" A palace official told others excitedly, proud of the first-hand information he had.

"How many days?" Someone asked concerned, and guessed, "Liu Jin was cut for three days, and it cost more than 3000 knives!"

Lingchi, which began in the Five Dynasties, was eight to 120 knives at the beginning; in the Ming Dynasty, this number was upgraded to one thousand to three thousand knives.

Obviously, there is only one purpose for prolonging the death process so long, and that is to warn the world through the extreme pain of the tortured: if you dare to commit crimes, this is the end.

The most famous tortured Ling Chi in history, the great eunuch Liu Jin can definitely be ranked.Historical records: Liu Jin was sentenced to Lingchi 350 and seven knives, which was completed in three days.

I don't know why the common people watched it like a wave during Lingchi, and they still talk about it afterwards.It is said that every time Ling Chi was executed, many people bought the cut human flesh and used it as a raw material for treating sores and boils.

The news spread quickly, and it seemed that there was a lot of interest in offering gifts and slashing to pieces.

"Boom!" The basin slipped from Hai Lanzhu's hand, and the water spilled all over the floor.Regardless, she squatted on the ground and burst into tears.

"Sister—both parents have been killed!" Bumbutai also heard the news, threw away the clothes he was washing, and ran over crying, the two sisters hugged their heads and cried.

The eunuch in charge is quitting, even though the above has explained, don't make it too difficult for these two girls, but they are not allowed to be so presumptuous!

"Want to rebel?" The eunuch in charge stepped forward and shouted loudly, "Go to work quickly, howling?"

"They are Jian slaves!" A palace official with sharp ears heard Bumbutai shouting that his father and mother had been killed, so he hurriedly reported to the eunuch in charge, "The Jian slaves who were hacked into pieces have their parents."

Ok? !The eunuch in charge widened his eyes suspiciously. Ling Chi was indeed Jiannu, but they were all men, and there were no women!

"You, you are Jiannu." Bumbutai sobbed and raised his face full of tears, and retorted angrily and sadly: "Your parents are Jiannu."

The eunuch in charge was even more confused and angrier, cursing: "It's not Jiannu, you cry ass, what's your business if you cut Jiannu into pieces? Get up and go to work."

Bumbutai blinked his eyes, but hadn't fully figured out the smell.

"At the prisoner offering ceremony, all the slaves were killed?" Hai Lanzhu was quicker to react, looking at the eunuch in charge with a hopeful expression through her teary eyes.

"Nonsense, if you don't kill Jiannu, who will you kill?" The eunuch in charge rolled his eyes, "Today is a prisoner offering ceremony. Long live personally ordered the execution. How can other cats and dogs be qualified?"

The two sisters heard clearly now, their eyes met, and for a moment they didn't know whether to be happy or sad, whether to laugh or cry with joy.

...........................

I don't know how much Lingchi's meat can be sold for, but it's definitely not enough to ease the financial strain.

In the Qianqing palace, Zhu Youxiao had to worry about money again, but he imagined bloody hacks.

With a self-conscious smile, the emperor stroked his forehead, thinking about the possibility of issuing national debt.

In order to produce, manufacture, and transport sufficient ammunition materials for a major counterattack, Tianjin Wei's Weapons and Gunpowder Bureau had started production as early as two months ago.

It costs a lot to set up a stall.Although the output has reached a new height, the money is also worryingly spent.

This war is a unilateral investment without any benefits, and the counter-insurgency war in the Southwest is the same.Although in the long run, the rewards after the victory of the war are huge.

With vast and boundless land and abundant production, Liaodong is a good place with great potential for development.

But no matter how good the prospects are, how can we overcome the immediate difficulties?

The income from house raids is gradually decreasing, and fighting both tigers and flies will not change this trend.

The payment of Qingtun is still going on, but it can only guarantee the expenses of other northern border towns; the messy income of mirrors, banks, Shibosi, Chaoguan, etc. is gratifying, but it is not enough for Liaodong and Southwest The cost of two wars.

The reason why the prisoner presenting ceremony was made grand and grand was that Zhu Youxiao was also preparing for the issuance of national debt.The hope of victory has greatly increased, and the people are willing to invest their hard-earned money in the long-term.

But in the face of the issuance of national debt by the whole society, Zhu Youxiao does not agree very much.

The so-called hard work for the capable, it is not easy for ordinary people to save a few taels of silver, but for the rich and powerful, it is a lot of money, and throwing it away will not have the slightest impact.

The Maritime Chamber of Commerce, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, and the Yangtze River Merchant Gang who are anxiously waiting in the capital for a reply from the imperial court.As long as the emperor says a word, he will definitely be active, and it is very possible to donate without compensation.

But the emperor had another idea, which was to issue national bonds, to be precise, "Ping Liao bonds" to unite the hearts of the Ming Dynasty.

Fate of the nation, everyone is responsible.This sentence did not exist at the time, and the emperor plagiarized it without the slightest blush.

Why did most of the nobles and rich people, or ordinary people who accounted for the majority of the population, act as indifferent spectators when the Ming Dynasty fell?Especially the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, only when they shaved their hair and changed clothes, did they burst out with a burst of anger.

From ancient times to the present, what does the change of dynasties mean?Is it just to change the loyal master and the government that pays taxes?

This kind of thinking not only existed in the feudal era, but also in modern times, so why didn't it occupy a place?
From the performance of most people when the Ming Dynasty fell, Zhu Youxiao came to a conclusion.Zhu Zhiyu, who lived in exile in Japan after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, as a witness of history, also wrote the real reason in his book.

"In the last years of Chongzhen, the crimes of the gentry were rampant, and the people were in pain. They all had the heart of 'the time will be mourned, and you will die together'. Therefore, when the bandits came, they responded internally, and when the captives came in, they smashed the bamboo with their blades."

To put it bluntly, people no longer have much nostalgia for the regime in the late Ming Dynasty.What I hold is the mentality of "whoever rules him, no matter how bad it is".

The biggest driving force behind the fall of the Ming Dynasty was its own corruption. Natural disasters and man-made disasters had put the common people between life and death.

It's not that Li Zicheng is so strategic or wise, but that the court keeps pushing the hungry people to his side.

With just one sentence of "equal land without tax" and "Chuang Wang will not pay the grain when he comes", he has the capital of repeated defeats and more and more followers.

If you look at the problem from this perspective, Chongzhen is pitiful, but even more hateful.The hearts of the people are lost, and the only one who accompanies him to hang himself on the southeast branch is Wang Chengen, an eunuch.

Don't think that ordinary people are easy to bully and are the weakest.They are both greedy for profit and also have a heart of revenge. Standing by and watching the court regardless of their life and death, and even stepping forward to make more efforts is the outbreak of their pent-up resentment.

The so-called "change of heart, rivers and landslides", if you look down on them and treat them harshly, the final result is that the mountains and rivers will change color, and the Central Plains will be degraded.

The desire for profit is also due to human nature, Zhu Youxiao doesn't think so.Nor did he pin his hopes on patriotic sentiments and impassioned propaganda slogans.

It is actually not difficult to achieve a court that the people are grateful for, and an emperor that the people love and praise.Because the common people in Ming Dynasty didn't have high demands, if they could be a "peace dog", they wouldn't rise up.

Ping Liao is not only a matter of the court, but also has something to do with the common people. Through the issuance of "Ping Liao debt", this goal may be achieved.

Zhu Youxiao had made up his mind, picked up a pen and paper, and wrote secret letters to Bi Ziyan and Wu Dazhang.How can the leaders of the two major banks keep them idle by issuing "Pingliao bonds"?
