Chongzhen Undergraduates

Even though it was late at night and everyone was drunk, not a single soldier in Tai'an stayed overnight in the city.

Shanwazi didn't drink a drop, so he guarded the drunk Li Nian all night.The next day, when Li Nian just woke up, the guard said Shanwazi was gone.

Li Nian was taken aback, but saw a painting beside the bed, which showed several mountain peaks, and a white sheep was painted halfway up the mountain.Li Nian smiled knowingly and said:

"The order goes on, all soldiers from Shandong will have a one-month vacation."

Chapter 435: The Lies of the Great Zhou Dynasty

History is the field most prone to spam and war of words.Anyway, no one can really verify what happened in the past, and no one can really prove it.

If the future can be bet and proved, then the past is the most unspeakable story.History is created by someone. If a person does not prove himself, then after his death, everyone in the future can explain him.

It can be said that history is written by the victors. All the history we have read is not the real history, but the history explained by posterity.

There is a saying that what you are afraid of will come, and what Chen Yuanyuan was worried about finally happened.

When Wu Sangui tried to use the third prince to blackmail Zhu Youjian again and failed, the small group of people led by Wu Sangui was doomed to directly and completely tear their skins apart from the most orthodox Ming court.

Therefore, who is the one who represents the interests of the nation and who is the real traitor to the country? Between these two definitions, the two sides fought a war of words.

Wu Sangui's side is ruthless enough. They traced back to the source, occupied Qishan directly, and then proclaimed themselves the "King of Zhou". In September, Wu Sangui ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. , Changing clothes", raised troops in Shaanxi.

Before the rebellion, he led his subordinates to pay homage to the tomb of the Yellow Emperor, "weeping bitterly, unable to get up from the ground", and greatly incited his subordinates.After the rebellion, he issued a call to arms, accusing the two capitals of "stealing my ancestors' artifacts and changing my Chinese crown clothes", and claiming to "collect the cultural relics of our ancestors and return them to the universe of Zhongxia".

For a while, Shanxi Jiang Xiang and Wang Fuchen rebelled against the gold at the same time. On the Ming side, Hunan Liu Chengyin and other provinces all secretly responded.

Especially some educated scum who fled from the south to the north at the beginning turned to Wu Sangui after seeing that Houjin was weakened by Ming Dynasty. Zhu Youjian.

Even many people in later generations like to talk about topics such as "the Ming Dynasty is the most righteous", as long as scholars are willing, they can find many examples to refute it.

For example: Han Liner.

As a result, all kinds of remarks that Chongzhen was not suitable to be an emperor spread everywhere. Among them, Chen Yuanyuan was a vixen who harmed the country and the people.

It is difficult for people who have read books to believe such nonsense, but the Ming Dynasty in this era is an era with a large proportion of illiterates.Especially after the almost mythical advocacy, many farmers will believe it.

Nanjing.

Soon after Wu Sangui ascended the throne, the Tiandihui discovered problems in every province, especially in remote areas. Wu Sangui's so-called Zhou Wang Daiming spread like the wind with superstitious rumors.

"What are these things?" Zhu Youjian smashed a thick stack of hand-painted leaflets on the table like ghostly symbols on papyrus.

This is an emergency cabinet meeting, and the topic of discussion today is Wu Sangui spreading superstition in various provinces.

"This is the superstitious leaflets that appear everywhere. Those who spread them place these things along the road. It is said that the leaflets have cast a spell, and those who pick them up must each write a hundred copies and spread them in the same way. Otherwise, the whole family will die."

"Many ordinary people are convinced that they have copied it one after another. The three provinces of Sichuan, Hubei, and Henan are especially serious. It has almost spread to the south of the Yangtze River."

"These three provinces can't stop the spread of rumors at all. The entire Qinling Mountains are mountains, and we have no way to stop them..."

This time, Fang Jinnan brought five high-level intelligence personnel from the Tiandihui for the cabinet to inquire about related matters.

This is an innovation made by Zhu Youjian. In dealing with major events and emergencies, Tiandi will start to try to face the cabinet and be responsible, not just report to the emperor alone.

Zhu Youjian felt that one head and two big ones, this method is the most common marketing model in later generations.Commonly used for cx, some bargains, and...

Of course, it is also a favorite method of ancient superstition xj, and some postings, chicken soup articles, etc. are popular among young people in later generations.

"Everyone, tell me what to do?" Zhu Youjian, as the leader, of course had to listen to other people's opinions before issuing orders.

"I suggest that the emperor should hold a ceremony to worship the heavens in Nanjing to show the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty." Fang Yuegong was the first to say.

"I thought I would print a batch of leaflets and notices as soon as possible, telling the people not to believe these rumors," Gu Yanwu said.

……

There was a lot of chatter, and the meeting lasted for an hour, and the final plan could not be finalized.

The reason why Zhu Youjian did not make a plan is that Zhu Youjian's handling of public opinion in this era is too rough and simple, nothing more than retaliation and eradication.

The cabinet's opinion is that the imperial court is famous while refuting and sending a large army to encircle and suppress. As long as anyone is caught spreading the word, his head will be beheaded immediately.And give examples of various methods, which are simple and effective.

Zhu Youjian suddenly remembered the "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" in the late Qing Dynasty, the turmoil that caused the death of [-] million people.Therefore, Zhu Youjian refused.

Gossip ends with the wise, but it is time that makes gossip go away; the best way to stop a lie is to shut up the liar.

"What you said is very good, so I decided to: send the [-]th Army into the Qinling Mountains to arrest local infiltrators; the government offices of the three provinces at all levels sent people to form working groups to go to the counties and towns adjacent to Shaanxi to publicize the imperial court's policies, To stabilize the hearts of the people; inform Yan Yingyuan that the internship positions for the first batch of outstanding students can be confirmed, so we will use rumors to practice and arrest suspicious people in important areas of the three provinces."

Zhu Youjian was confident, and he didn't use the traditional killing method at all in this move.Wu Sangui and others just took advantage of the weak loopholes in the court's weak control over the grassroots in this era. There are many ways to strengthen grassroots work in later generations.

The actual ruling power of the Ming Dynasty reached the county level, so the county magistrate was the parent official; the Republic of China was able to reach the township, and the village still had a patriarchal system; and my rabbit was playing with the village committee.

"Your Majesty, this will tie down a large number of officials in the imperial court." Fang Yuegong panicked when he heard this. According to this manpower arrangement, the official salaries that the imperial court needs to distribute every month will increase several times.

If the whole country implements this, the finance of the Ministry of Household Affairs will not be able to afford it at all.Therefore, some people in later generations said that there were only so many officials in the Tang Dynasty, and how many people there were in later generations.This point is not comparable at all. In a county in Daming, only a few low-level officials in the county government are counted as public servants, and in later generations, a township has more civil servants than a county in Daming.

If you don't want to do this, there is another way to learn from Emperor Mi, and the functional departments of the imperial court adopt the employment system.Zhu Youjian intends to adopt the employment system, at least education, the first large-scale promotion department, has adopted the employment system from the beginning.

The following public security will also adopt the employment system. Those who have made meritorious service and honors are the leaders in charge of public security in various places, and the others are hired personnel.

"Fang Aiqing, just calling temporarily, let's solve the immediate problem first. I just don't want to kill the common people again. Too many people have died in these years." Zhu Youjian really didn't want to kill too many people. After the turmoil, Daming lost The population is too large.

"Please tell me what to do with the captured people?" Huang Zongyi asked.

"Put the corresponding years of hard labor in place of their crimes." Zhu Youjian returned without thinking.

Huang Zongyi thought deeply in his heart immediately. It was only at this moment that he began to be touched by the national structure. No one knew this.

Zhu Youjian didn't know when Huang Zongyi thought about this kind of problem in history, but this time it really started from this moment.Because the design of a country's structure is not only a hierarchical structure, but also needs to be supported by corresponding systems and laws.

Zhu Youjian's unintentional legal means opened Huang Zongyi up.

Chapter 436: Outside the Dabaoen Temple

"The emperor is King Zhou, and the concubine is Daji..." Chen Yuanyuan repeated these words, the fear in her eyes was already frightening.

Zhu Youjian never thought that Chen Yuanyuan, who was fearless in front of Liu Zongmin and Li Zicheng, would be so frightened in front of rumors.

In fact, Zhu Youjian didn't know Chen Yuanyuan at all. Chen Yuanyuan was born in the south of the Yangtze River and became famous in Qinhuai River.Having received Confucian education since she was a child, she actually has the same traditional moral concepts as Liu Rushi and others. These people are not afraid of life and death, but are most afraid of reputation, and this reputation is higher than secular morality.

Daji, that is the notoriety of being nailed to the rack of shame. Ever since Chen Yuanyuan entered the palace, she has had the deepest fear of this kind of thing.

"Yuanyuan, I am not King Zhou, and you are not Daji either. Don't believe those rumors outside." Zhu Youjian put his arms around Chen Yuanyuan, feeling sorry for her.

Previous messages in Nanjing City have also been circulated, saying that Zhu Youjian was infatuated with Chen Yuanyuan, which led to Wu Sangui's introduction of Empress Jin to the customs.Although the words have a nose and an eye, but after all, the Great Ming is still alive.

Later, Hou Jin gradually lost, and many people naturally did not believe it.
