Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

There are already too many officials and heavy taxes on the people at the bottom, and the burden is even heavier.

On the other hand, Zhu Yousong had no money in his hands, so he sent eunuchs to various places to collect it.

The eunuch collects...

How can an official take out the money that has already been put into his pocket?

Naturally, it was passed on to the common people at the bottom.

As for the name - the eunuchs are all here, isn't this the best scapegoat...

Hehe, there is another way to collect taxes!

This has further increased the burden on the people at the bottom.

In addition, the main combatants such as Shi Kefa and Ma Shiying had to use their personal connections to "persuade payment" in various places in order to pay for the military.

Officials who have lost their control are eager to have a new name to collect taxes.

As long as there is no death ax hanging high and an order from above to levy one tael of silver, they can't wait to collect one hundred thousand or one million!

In this way, in just one year, the conflict between the people at the bottom of Jiangnan and the imperial court completely intensified.

And the people at the bottom, who intensified the conflicts, were easily deceived.

In this way, the big mouths of Donglin and Fushe have another use!

As the saying goes:

"The top and bottom spend extravagantly and plunder the people!"

It’s about the phenomenon of the ancient imperial court and the choice of generals!

"Good calculation!"

Shi Kefa lamented.

Even so, Donglin, Fushe and other Jiangnan gentry groups are still not satisfied!

At the beginning of the new year, Gao Jie, the main combatant general, was even more brazenly killed.

To put it bluntly, Gao Jie's death was just a victim of a certain class's attack on the main war faction...

In the final analysis, it is all about seizing power.

Gao Jie's death was apparently just an internal fight between two warlords.

In fact -

What was eradicated was Zhu Yousong's reliance!

What was broken were the hands and feet of the main war faction!

This is killing two birds with one stone. Gao Jie is gone——

Ma Shiying and other main war factions will lose power;

The emperor is about to become a rubber stamp.

In this way, power will naturally return to the hands of Donglin, Fushe and other wealthy gentry!

If it returns to their hands, it will also return to the hands of a sponsor like Zheng Shixun!

This is the truth that "officials, gentry, merchants and Confucianism" are one and the same!

Yan Ermei didn't know that in this time and space, the appearance of Zhu Youjian had already saved the fate of many people.

It has also changed many general trends.

The political environment in Jiangnan has become countless times better than in history!

At the very least, Zuo Liangyu has been transferred away long ago...

The Jiangnan tycoon group in history did far more abominable things than this time and space!

In history, they were after Shi Kefa compromised with Ma Shiying and went to Jiangbei.

These so-called "upright officials" continued to cut off the imperial court's taxes, leaving the soldiers without food and pay, which led to a series of internal fights among their own armies to compete for money and food.

For example, Huang Degong and Gao Jie fought for Yangzhou.

Gao Jie attacked Huang Degong secretly. Huang Degong led the army and prepared to take revenge...

(Yangzhou is the headquarters of salt merchants.

Song Yingxing estimated that by the Wanli period, when the Cross Compendium Law was first implemented, the assets of local salt merchants alone were no less than 3000 million.

The annual interest (profit) of the salt industry alone is as high as 900 million taels.

The aristocratic family was accustomed to lending money at usury, and even started a business of lending money to new officials in the capital.

What's the profit?

Today, another 30 years have passed.

The wealth of Yangzhou salt merchants can be expected.

This is why the wealthy gentry of Yangzhou, the Zheng family, was able to overhaul the gardens.

Just imagine: in the Northern Song Dynasty, which was famous for its wealth, the emperor built a garden and the court was gone!

He was a wealthy businessman, but he could do a lot of gardening. You can guess how much money the Yangzhou salt merchants made.

The wealth of Yangzhou is also the reason why Gao Jie and Huang Degong competed for Yangzhou. )

It seems that the dynamics of the Hongguang Chao warlord are in such a mess!

In fact, it is nothing more than supplementing military pay.

Why is this?

Isn't it just because there are many big businessmen in Yangzhou and the leading troops are stationed here, the wealthy businessmen must make some "expression"...

If someone has a big business and throws it out as beggar's money - can it also solve the problem of insufficient military supplies?

In fact, whether it is Huang Degong or Gao Jie——

Both of them knew that not much oil could be extracted from the common people!

If we really want to squeeze him again, the people will rebel!

Only then did the two compete to garrison troops in Yangzhou.

……

To be more realistic - if Gao Jie really robbed ordinary people...

Do you think the scholars will record it?

To put it bluntly, everyone here and I dare not say 100%, at least 99%. In ancient times, it was either a "rogue" or a "rogue"!

Gangster... gangster... blind gangster...

It means having no family background and important social resources!

How many employ thousands of workers? Let me give you the number... (⊙o⊙)...

How many fathers and brothers started out as county magistrates? Let me tell you the number... (⊙o⊙)...

If you don't meet these two hard targets, you were a hooligan in ancient times!

You are not in other people’s circles. Do you think you will die or not, and whether people will record you?

Don’t forget, the lady from the kiln on the Qinhuai River drank wine with others, held hands, went shopping, and appeared on the front page of the Ming Dynasty news.

Poor people... are immortal and weird, so they have no right to leave a few words.

Don't say what I said is too disturbing - it's the truth!

Because I am also one of the gangsters...

……

Gao Jie was recorded as being cruel, which can only mean one thing - this guy robbed someone else's manor for military pay.

Therefore, he has only one way to die!

This is:

"The civil uprising is imminent, so we will plunder the merchants!"

In fact, if you look at history, you will find that——

In ancient China, as long as the military pay was sufficient, soldiers could never commit any crime.

And once you don't have enough food, you have to exploit the place.

And when it comes to exploiting the common people, it is not as fast as exploiting wealthy businessmen!

In the final analysis-the military pay is still insufficient!

This is a very realistic truth.

This truth is cruel and bloody!

This is the disgusting truth that hides dirt and evil after the cloak of "all righteousness" is cut open.

Of course, the tactics of "Zhongzheng" are far more than "slight" as stated.

They not only want profit, but also power!

In other words, this is the inevitability of capital!

At this time, although there was no "Das Kapital" yet, all human experience was summarized from reality.

Please remember, whether it is a carbon-based earthling or a silicon-based alien——

They all have "meaning" first, then "language", and then "word"!

Any kind of definition must have the phenomenon first and then the conclusion!

Like the West, it directly goes against common sense and goes the other way.

It must be plagiarism!

Capital wants to control the government - ever since human beings had classes, they have never stopped doing so!

Let’s talk about the simplest historical phenomenon:

The Western Han Dynasty used the "lingyi system" to weaken the power of wealthy merchants, thereby achieving the purpose of the court controlling the local area.

Why can't we play anymore by the end of the Western Han Dynasty?

Who abolished this policy?

It’s not like these wealthy businessmen!

If the government and businessmen do not collude together, the officials will be so idle that they risk confiscating their homes and annihilating their clans to abolish this national policy!
