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

Qin Liangyu sighed:

"Even so, you can't be so wasteful!

It is always the safest to live a frugal life. Who knows when there will be three disasters? "

Ling Yiqu took out a few silver coins from his arms and handed them to everyone in the Qin family:

"Let's see first, how much money this is worth!"

"How was this money made? Why is it so beautiful?"

Qin Liangyu and others were shocked!

Qin Liangyu lit the candle and looked carefully. After a long time, he hesitated and said:

"I'm afraid - at least I can exchange it for two taels of silver..."

"Two or two?"

Ling Yiqu laughed.

"Old Madam, you might as well take a guess!"

Ling Yiqu took out another one, pinched the center of the silver dollar with his thumb and index finger, and blew on the silver dollar.

Then put the silver dollar to your ear.

"The old lady is deaf, you might as well try again like this!"

Qin Liangyu and others did so.

When they heard the clear buzzing sound of the silver dollar, everyone was stunned!

"This, this, this..."

Qin Liangyu's eyes widened:

"This is a divine thing!"

“In the beginning, one silver dollar could be exchanged for eight taels of silver.

Even now, it is normal to exchange one piece for three taels of silver.

What's more, His Majesty strictly prohibits the circulation of silver in the country and stipulates that only silver dollars can be used.

As a result, the business of exchanging silver for silver dollars was in the hands of the court.

This trade alone can provide His Majesty with countless money! "

Qin Liangyu nodded:

"It's common sense that things are rare and valuable."

Ling Yiqu chuckled:

"Old madam, do you know that each of these silver coins is only five cents!

However, His Majesty exchanged them for Zheng Hongkui at a price of two taels of silver each.

Use Zheng Hongkui's hands in exchange for overseas gold and silver!

The old lady knows that this alone has brought 3000 million taels of silver to the Ming Dynasty. "

Qin Liangyu and others were shocked.

Ling Yiqu gave them more shock tonight than they had in their entire lives combined.

God!

Just from minting coins, you can earn so much money just because it is owned by the imperial court...

Qin Liangyu couldn't help but sigh——

Since Zhang Juzheng's whipping law, taxes collected by local governments have been collected in silver.

Forget it, there are also "losses" in various names.

Even if you pay a small amount of silver, you still have to pay "fire expenses"!

oh my god!

There are so many exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes imposed on the people by the officialdom!

All this money was divided up by the officials...

Even if the common people sell their sons and daughters, the imperial court will not see any of it!

Today, His Majesty has abolished the circulation of silver and stipulated that from now on in the Ming Dynasty, only copper coins and silver dollars will be the legal tender.

This means that all the shackles imposed on the people by subordinate officials and officials have been swept away!

This is good governance!

This is good governance with countless living people!

……

"His Majesty once said that the reason why Ming Dynasty is short of money——

It's because the wealthy families have weaved a huge web.

He imprisoned Daming tightly and kept lying on Daming's body to suck blood.

All the money that originally belonged to the imperial court was taken away by these blood-sucking insects!

By leaving the capital and formulating new rules of the game, Ming Dynasty could obtain dozens or even hundreds of times the original tax revenue.

And the people don’t have to pay a penny more for this! "

Ling Yiqu sighed with emotion:

"Old madam, ever since Your Majesty established his capital at the bank of the Han River, he has never had to worry about money..."

……

Qin Liangyu understood...

Today, the Ming Dynasty has no shortage of weapons, let alone money.

And she, Qin Liangyu, has huge prestige in central Sichuan and even among the entire southwest chieftain community.

For her, there is really no shortage of soldiers who can fight in mountainous areas like Sichuan!

What she lacks is money...

In this way, with such a combination of the two parties, all the shortcomings have been made up for by the other party...

……

Ling Yiqu and Qin Liangyu discussed for a long time and decided to launch the battle to regain Kuizhou ten days later.

Of course, before that, it would be best to let Zhang Tongchang launch a feint attack to attract all the Daxi Army to the mouth of the Three Gorges.

Then Qin Liangyu's white-pole soldiers gave the Daxi Army a fatal blow from behind!

As long as Zhang Tongchang's attack is strong enough, he can wipe out the entire Kuizhou garrison in one battle.

In this way, they can take the entrance to Sichuan in an orderly manner, and there will be no suspense in the middle of Sichuan.

The strategy was decided, Qin Liangyu immediately asked Qin Gongming to bring the two people's personal letters.

Crossing the blockade of the Daxi Army, we headed to the camp of Zhang Tongchang, the commander of Yeyou in Nanting.

In history, this hero who was about to die in the battle to put down the "Shapu Rebellion" put on the clothes of a merchant and went to Huguang.

Ling Yiqu obtained the power to control the northern and southern Tingye from the emperor.

After Zhang Tongchang received the news, he did not dare to neglect. He immediately ordered his troops and released the news that he was about to attack Kuizhou.

For a time, the Kuizhou military camp of the Great Western Army was filled with rumblings.

All the soldiers in the city were mobilized to set up defenses in the Fengjie area.

Especially at Qutang Pass, tens of thousands of troops gathered.

November 26st.

Qin Liangyu launched an army of [-] men and captured Zhongzhou without a single blow. Zhang Xianzhong only appointed civilian officials, but did not even dare to send soldiers in order not to irritate Qin Liangyu.

The army did not stop and went down the river.

On the 28th, Kewan County.

Qin Liangyu left Ma Wannian to take charge of the defense here and strictly guard against Ma Yuanli's troops of the Great Western Army in the direction of Shunqing Mansion (Nanchong).

Together with Ling Yiqu, he went straight to Yunyang without stopping.

The one standing in front of him was Wu Ning, a small town.

Wuning was a small city, with only Cao Guiyuan, the county magistrate, and a hundred or so government servants.

When he heard that Wanxian County had been captured by the Ming army, Cao Guiyuan immediately carried a thorn stick and went out of the city for thirty miles to plead guilty.

Ling Yiqu inquired carefully and learned that this man was Zhang Xianzhong's new scholar and had no evil deeds.

He appeased Cao Guiyuan and allowed him to stay in Wuning.

At the same time, Qin Liangyu was asked to leave two hundred soldiers to monitor Cao Guiyuan.

The army bypassed Wu Ning and headed downstream.

ps: The following does not include word count.

(Many people will say that the Ming Dynasty did not colonize overseas...

If you study the history books carefully, you will find that the early colonists were those who could not survive in their own country, so they risked their lives to wander.

China has been at the top of the world for thousands of years. Who wants to go overseas in a remote and remote country?

It cannot form a universal phenomenon, which is what happened in ancient China. Because the number of people is too small, it is submerged in history...

They will say - we are here to read novels, not to see you copy history books...

Again, libraries in universities, Xinhua Bookstores in every city... these are all free!

What books are not in there?

How many people watched it?

The purpose of my book is just to promote a true China.

Restore the truth that they have slandered.

The best way to promote education is to educate and entertain, and to put the truth in a pastime that everyone likes to watch.

This is also what I said: "How can we abandon the way of enlightenment from a high platform?"

……

Didn’t the Ming Dynasty colonize?

Except for China, they are all barbaric areas. Who wants to go there?

Australia - the British penal colony, Siberia - the Maozi penal colony, the New World South America - the European criminal penal colony...

The Ming Dynasty did not colonize...

There is a principle for drawing Ming Dynasty maps in modern times: whatever is not available in later generations [mainly referring to the Qing Dynasty], the Ming Dynasty maps will be treated as "not available".

Under this "axiom" in the industry, the map of the Ming Dynasty was seriously shrunk!

Old Port, Sanxuan and Liuwei...go search to see where these places are!

Don't say this is a vassal, the Ming dynasty's vassal-Timur is the oil circle of later generations!

Three Proclamations and Six Comforts - Administrative units below the provincial level and above the prefecture level, similar to Jisi Prefecture.

In the late Ming Dynasty, Zhubu began to reform the southwest.

What do you mean?

Prefectures and counties are about to be established and become the core territory of China.

As long as the Ming Dynasty is given another 100 years, can the Southeast Asian subcontinent still be able to escape?

……

In fact, they were correct in their words.

Because our Chinese method is never called colonization!

Colonization: A method of ruling that brutally suppresses the original indigenous people and uses native people to carry out a series of plunders.

this thing...

There is really no colonial behavior in the history of the Han people.

What are we called?

benevolent!

Educate the indigenous people, propagate the Chinese system, and turn the indigenous people into Chinese people——

This is our unique "king way" in China.

According to them, we have colonized Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guangxi, and Fujian for so long...

Are there fewer locals?

no!

I remember that one of my book friends was from the Buyi or Hayi tribe. This guy himself said that his heart was toward China!

I've seen people's comments.

What is China's approach? Believe me, we are our own people, brothers, and siblings!

This is the essence of the Huayi debate!

Just imagine, in the late Ming Dynasty, the experiment of reforming the country and returning to local rule had already begun.

Another hundred years...

Whose territory belongs to these?

Not to mention anything else, just these three declarations and six comforts...

Can you run away?

As long as there are another 100 years, not to mention continued development, even if it is just to digest the enclosed territory...

Our area today has at least doubled!

Isn't it a pity?

As I said - the Ming Dynasty was at its peak, being stabbed and bled to death from weakness!

……

Let’s talk about something that almost no one writes about in today’s novels – at the end of the Yongli period, Zhu Youlang was still collecting taxes in the Southeast Asian subcontinent!

That was more than ten years after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs - more than [-] years ago!

And they sent tax collection teams to Burma, Laos and other places, instead of setting up three announcements and six consolations, which stipulated that the local chieftains had to pay thousands of taels of silver in taxes a year!

What is this concept?

If only Yongli could hold the southwest, his territory would not be small!

……

Although the Han regime did not colonize, it does not mean that it has stopped its royal ways!

Even the Song Dynasty, which they said was the weakest, established China's overseas trade market.

This is also a "kingly way" unique to the East.

Although kingship cannot be equated with colonization.

However, this definition is by no means the original intention of those who do not read and talk shit.

Everyone has a brain, and if you think about it for a moment, you will understand that many of the "attributive words" they keep talking about are just farts! )
