Chapter 284 If you don't want to, you will be regarded as a traitor and accomplice, and you will be killed together!
Zhang Gui looked at the silent ministers of the Planning Department and said: "It is true that this will make many dignitaries and garrison officers unacceptable, but otherwise, it is not enough to revive the Ming Dynasty. What Your Majesty said is to share the world with the Han people." It can’t just be as simple as talking about it, it needs to be determined. This is not showing great kindness. It is because the country has reached this point, and it really needs to correct the world style and strengthen the imperial court’s ability to control and dispatch the world’s human and financial resources in the name of saving more common people. ability!"
"Daming is a centralized dynasty of great unity, not a dynasty of feudal feudal feudal lords who are ruled by aristocrats and families. Therefore, the wealth of the world is distributed by it, and the common people of the world are also raised and distributed by it, and they are responsible for the rise and fall of the country. responsibilities. The rich and powerful gentry cannot occupy manpower and financial resources for their own use, but they do not bear the responsibility for their rise and fall.”
Zhang Gui then added another sentence.
Chen Zizhuang sighed first, and said: "All the wealth in the world has flowed into the hands of the imperial court. It is true that the imperial court is responsible for raising the common people in the world. It is indeed inappropriate to keep Han people as slaves. After all, all Han people in the world are from the imperial court. People should be hired with money. The court also needs to be able to organize more manpower to strengthen the country and enrich the people. I echo what Uncle Guo said."
"The minister also seconded the proposal. As Uncle Guo said, now the court needs to make a big determination to concentrate manpower for use by the court, rather than as a resource to maintain the luxurious life of the gentry."
Yuan Keli also echoed. For him, if the Industrial Division has a decrease in iron ore due to insufficient human resources, which in turn makes the Industrial Division unable to maintain, it means that the reform they presided over will fail in all aspects.
This is unacceptable to him, so he is also willing to accept the reform of the military system, give freedom to military households, and prohibit keeping Han people as slaves.
The other ministers of the policy department all agreed.
Because Daming has to make such a choice now.
Unless you go back, give up the Industry Division, give up reforms, and use massacres to reduce the population.
Therefore, the reformist officials in the Planning Department had to agree.
Tianqi did not deny it, and said: "Then the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households will submit the test book, and then implement this matter."
"Follow the order!"
So, shortly thereafter, system regulations to reform the guard system, prohibit slavery, and regulate the adoption of children were promulgated one after another.
For a while, the ruling and opposition parties were in an uproar.
"It's restructuring again! Is the imperial court planning to continue on the road of restructuring?! Why do the rulers like to make troubles so much!"
Xuan Mansion Commander Wang Chengyun couldn't help complaining in a low voice after seeing the imperial edict through the mansion newspaper.
This is also normal, reforms will always hurt the interests of some people.
The reform of the guard system will undoubtedly damage the interests of border town officers like Wang Chengyun.
Although he served as a battalion officer, he was promoted to a battalion officer by inheriting the official position of the guard.
For Wang Chengyun, reforming the Weisuo system and no longer setting up military households is tantamount to allowing him to admit that he no longer legally enslaves military households under his name.
This is naturally unacceptable to him.
Counselor Zhang Xiong was also quite dissatisfied and said: "In the final analysis, it is because His Majesty wants to rejuvenate and even restore the great achievements of the Han and Tang Dynasties. That's why such a series of reforms have been carried out. First, it is to win the world's benefits, and now it is to win the world's benefits." He is dissatisfied with the fact that military households are only used by us!"
"You are right. It is precisely because he wants to rejuvenate that the ancestors and other generals in Liaodong have been punished by the nine clans, and they are not allowed to support the bandits. Now we have to reform the Weisuo system, abolish the military household system, and jointly He also abolished the medical household registration system and low-level registration system, and it is clear that he wants more people to contribute to his great cause of ZTE.”
Wang Chengyun agreed, and he was very annoyed: "How come such an emperor who is determined to innovate! Stand down and rule, and be his successful king, isn't it good?!"
A dynasty ruled by Confucian civilization, in the middle and late stages, its ruling class lacks aggressiveness as a whole, and even generals lack the motivation to make contributions.
Because their common identity is the landlord.
Landlords will lack motivation in the later stage.
Wang Chengyun and Zhang Xiong are the same kind of people now. They don’t want the emperor to forge ahead, they don’t want the emperor to reform, and they don’t care whether the country can flourish and prosper, even surpassing any powerful dynasty in history.
They refuse to change, and only hope to live a life of peace, prosperity and peace.
After all, as landlords, they can obtain abundant food resources and human resources without changing.
But Tianqi and his courtiers have already embarked on the step of reform and reform, so they are destined to be unable to stop, because they don't want to just have a lot of silver and not be able to exchange it for more wealth.
What's more, Tianqi and his favorites really need to control more human resources now, and then organize people to seize the food and iron ore they desperately need.
In short, after Tianqi and his courtiers possessed a large amount of capital, they began to instinctively want to use the capital in their hands to obtain more profits.
This is out of their own control.
So, not long after this, Xinghesuo in Xuanfu Town was changed to Xinghe County.
Yang Xiuchun, the sentry officer who retired from the Guards and graduated from the Armed Forces Academy, was transferred from a military position to a civilian position, and began to serve as the governor of the state.
Wang Chengyun originally planned to run his younger brother to serve as the Qianhu Office after the vacancy of the Qianhu Office in Xinghe, but he did not expect that the imperial court would no longer set up guards and turn Xinghe into a guard house. Xinghe Prefecture was established, and a new magistrate was appointed.
Wang Chengyun was even more dissatisfied because of this, and sent someone to invite Zhang Xiong again, and secretly discussed: "Now it seems that the imperial court really wants to change the guards and abolish the military households. Do we really want to see the ancestral system being destroyed? Can military households wait for the side generals for me?"
Zhang Xiong knew what Wang Chengyun was thinking, so he cooperated and said: "It must be caused by treacherous ministers in the court! It must be the Qing emperor's side!"
Wang Chengyun nodded after hearing this, and said: "I have sent people to ask Zongbing Qu in Datong and Zongbing Zhu in Shanxi, and they also said the same."
Zhang Xiong echoed: "My cousin who served as the general soldier in Yansui and Zhu Zongbing in Guyuan also said the same, and Wang Zongbing in Ningxia also wanted to side with the Qing emperor. Only Manchu soldiers in Jizhou didn't make any statement. It should be because of the kindness of my uncle Zhang Gui's support and support, and I don't want to express my opinion."
Wang Chengyun said: "It seems that among the nine towns, at least six townsmen are willing to take the side of the Qing emperor, and great things may be accomplished."
Zhang Xiong asked: "Just how to contact? Discuss about raising troops together."
Wang Chengyun said: "I have already thought of a way. You are a general in Zhangjiakou Fort. You have always been familiar with the Mongols. You entrust the Mongols to contact the commanders of the various sides. As for the governors and censors of the various sides, if they If you are willing to clear the king's side together, you will naturally push them to take the lead, and if they don't want to, just kill them."
Zhang Xiong nodded: "Good!"
So, two months later, Zhang Xiong came to find Wang Chengyun again: "They agreed to go to the side of the Qing Dynasty together, and killed the governor of the three sides Yang He, the governor of Shanxi Geng Ruqi, the governor of Datong Zhang Yiming, and led 100,000 soldiers to Xuanfu first."
Wang Chengyun asked after hearing this: "Where are Governor Hu Tingyan of Guyuan and Governor Yue Hesheng of Yansui?"
Zhang Xiong replied: "I would like to raise troops with us to clear the king's side."
Wang Chengyun nodded: "That's good! Next, let's go see Guo Zhongcheng."
The Guo Zhongcheng mentioned by Wang Chengyun refers to Guo Zhicong, the current governor of Xuanfu.
Guo Zhicong saw Wang Chengyun and Zhang Xiong appearing with their servants, and asked, "Why do you two see me?"
"The treacherous ministers of the imperial court are in power, and the ancestral system is being destroyed. We specially invite Zhongcheng to join us in Qing Dynasty."
Wang Chengyun said.
Guo Zhicong was shocked after hearing this: "How dare you? This is a serious crime to destroy the nine races!"
Zhang Xiong directly drew out his knife and pointed at Guo Zhicong: "Now I just ask Zhongcheng if you are willing. If you are willing, we are still willing to listen to Zhongcheng's restraint. If not, we can only treat Zhongcheng as an accomplice of traitors. And kill!"
