Bring the whole war back to Nanming

Chapter 88

As the sky gradually darkened, Dodan came back from the outside, went straight to the study, and neatly placed a stack of papers printed with the new law on the desk.

"My lord, I brought you something, what should I do next?"

Picking up a document with a big seal and reading it from beginning to end, Fang Xiaobai nodded and said, "It's getting late today. When early tomorrow morning, you can take a team of sergeants to each city gate and put this Paste the stuff for me."

"It's that simple?"

"Yes."

Hou Fangyu didn't understand what they were talking about, he had a premonition that he would know soon, so he didn't bother to ask.

The new Hou's Mansion inherited Ruan Dacheng's extravagance. Unlike the shabby city of Yangzhou, which only had three rooms, there are enough rooms here. Fang Xiaobai dismissed most of the servants, leaving a large number of vacant rooms in the Hou's Mansion.

Arranging Hou Fangyu to live in a well-furnished guest room, Fang Xiaobai ordered the kitchen to prepare ginger soup for Hou Fangyu, and went back to the bedroom to rest.Adhering to the principle of doing things tomorrow, Fang Xiaobai didn't have any thoughts, and soon fell into a dream.

The next day, before Fang Xiaobai got up, Dodan led a guard of one hundred people along the city wall, pasting the documents one by one on the bulletin board set up by the government.People who got up early and went out to work in the city passed the bulletin board and found a new notice on it. Those who could not read had to ask the soldiers guarding the notice: "Mr. Jun, I am illiterate, what is written on it?"

"Oh, this is the Marquis Poluhou who proposed reforms for Zhongxing Daming, and got His Majesty's approval. I hereby post the document. I will read it to you. First, all the land will be owned by the imperial court, and the imperial court will lease it to the common people for cultivation. First, the common people have the right to cultivate, but not ownership; second, abolish the four classes of scholars, peasants, businessmen, and businessmen, and make the common people equal under the Ming Dynasty; third, cut down the old army, form a new army, set up an army officer academy, and train military talents; fourth, Encourage commercial development, increase commercial taxation, open sea bans, and encourage private innovation; fifth, ban all gambling houses within the control of Ming Dynasty (Fang Xiaobai's personal will), and confiscate assets."

The guard's mouth went dry as he spoke, and the owner of a nearby teahouse handed him a bowl of tea at the right time. The guard moistened his throat, thanked the teahouse owner for a while, and then continued to introduce.

"Sixth, the imperial family of the Ming Dynasty gave up political and military rights. From now on, it will only exist as the highest honor leader of the country, representing the image of the country; seventh, establish a parliament with the post of chief executive and prime minister under it, and exercise national political power on behalf of the emperor. Members of Parliament will be elected publicly in one month, and all walks of life can participate."

"Eighth, set up the General Staff Headquarters, and set the commander-in-chief of the three armies as the supreme commander to exercise military power on behalf of the emperor."

"Ninth, the name will be changed from the next imperial examination to the National Examination. The examination items will be greatly changed. The details will be announced in the future..."

"Tenth, the Ming Dynasty set up five ranks of princes and male sons. Each rank is divided into three levels: first, second, and third. Only those who have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty can be knighted. The title cannot be inherited except for the king. , the titles of the next generation will decrease in descending order."

"No.11, rejuvenating the country through science and education,..."

The more the common people heard it, the more weird it became. The imperial court took back the land and distributed them these bitter hahas.

As soon as the ZTE law came out, there was an uproar. Countless officials and scholars ran to the gate of the imperial city and knelt down, begging Zhu Yousong to take back the emperor's order.

Officials who knew the inside story came to Poluhou's Mansion and cursed outside the door, and some impulsive scholars even threw rotten vegetables, leaves and rotten eggs at the Houfu to vent their dissatisfaction.

The nobles who fled to Nanjing also contributed money and strength, and they tried their best to resist the implementation of the ZTE Law in an attempt to change the emperor's will.

Some people are happy and some are sad. Merchants and ordinary people are happy and happy. They have been shrinking their heads for hundreds of years.

In the past, the emperor might have let go due to "people's pressure". Unfortunately, Fang Xiaobai had already planned to deal with Daming's "moths". In the streets and alleys of the city, batch after batch of rioters were arrested.

It just so happened that the concentration camp was newly built, and the barracks were very empty, so there was no need for free labor.

Gradually, the demonstrators clashed with the imperial swordsmen. They tried to snatch weapons and wounded more than a dozen soldiers. The imperial soldiers who had been instructed already said one word, do it!Regardless of officials or scoundrels, they were all beaten or hacked to death without mercy.

Fang Xiaobai stayed in the mansion, listening to the report of the lost man Duodan, nodding repeatedly.

"Tell the brothers, it is better to kill three thousand by mistake than to let one go. Kill as many as you come, the more you kill, the less resistance the ZTE will promote."

Back then, the Tartars killed a lot of people in order to carry out the hair-shaving order. In Jiangnan alone, tens of millions died. In the end, all the tough bones in Jiangnan were killed.

Since the Tartars dared to do it, why didn't we, Fang Xiaobai, dare not?For the sake of future prosperity, I have to sacrifice you all.

The history books of later generations recorded this event as the Black Eleventh Five-Year Plan. On October 10th alone, 15 people were arrested and sent to concentration camps, and tens of thousands died on the spot. Officials in the Nanjing court decreased by one-third after this day. Second, lay a solid foundation for the smooth progress of subsequent reforms.

Fang Xiaobai, the instigator of this incident, was dubbed Fang Shaved by people. It is said that he was complacent and proud after hearing his nickname.

On October 40th, Fang Xiaobai had a rare chance to change into court clothes. He participated in the early court, stood in the main hall, and looked around casually. There were nearly a hundred officials who survived, most of whom were military officers and officials over [-] years old.Even Qian Qianyi, who was in poor health, insisted on participating in the court meeting.

As soon as Zhu Yousong came to the main hall, his buttocks were still hot, and a speech officer jumped out and scolded Fang Xiaobai for his "evil deeds".

"Your Majesty, Zhao Xuemin, the censor of the Procuratorate, impeached Fang Xiaobai, the Marquis of the Procuratorate, for violating the ancestral system, bewitching the king's heart, killing petitioners and court officials indiscriminately, and lawless. I beg Your Majesty to kill this thief on the spot for the sake of the common people. !"

Someone took the lead, and a few officials who were not afraid of death jumped out of the ranks of civil servants, and said in unison: "The minister waits for second!"

Zhu Yousong smiled wryly, let alone Nanjing City, even the Imperial City is under Fang Xiaobai's subordinates, and he has a promise to him, giving up his rights in exchange for the throne, how could he oppose him for a few officials.

Fang Xiaobai stared at his toes, as if he didn't hear the impeachment from Zhao Xuemin and other officials.

"Poluhou, this matter..." Zhu Yousong tentatively asked what Fang Xiaobai meant.

"That's right, they're half right. If it's innocent to attack officers and soldiers, snatch weapons and try to rebel, then I have nothing to say. Also, I'm not here today to listen to your BB, but to inform you that if you still Some people want to challenge the new law and make trouble, I don't mind a few more free laborers in the concentration camp!"

threaten!Threats outright!Zhao Xuemin was so angry that he was about to point at Fang Xiaobai's nose and yell.

Suddenly there was a cough in the rank of civil servants, and Zhao Xuemin forcibly held back what he wanted to say. He glanced at Fang Xiaobai angrily, bowed his hands to Zhu Yousong on the throne, and retreated to the rank of civil servants.

The military officers were delighted to see the civil servants suffer, especially Zhu Dadian, Minister of the Ministry of War, oh no, it should be called the Ministry of Zhu Ge now, and Liu Zhaoji, the newly appointed minister of the Ministry of War.

Both of them received direct or indirect help from Fang Xiaobai, and Liu Zhaoji even regarded Fang Xiaobai as the turning point of the Battle of Yangzhou.

"Liu Zhaoji, Minister of the Ministry of Defense, agrees with Poluhou. If one person can provoke the officers and soldiers, what is the majesty of the officers and soldiers?"

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

The military officers seized the opportunity to show their favor to Fang Xiaobai, they figured it out, and hugged Fang Xiaobai's thigh tightly, there were only advantages and no disadvantages.

During the eleventh and sixteenth dynasties, the civil and military status of the Ming Dynasty changed for the first time.
