These years of being the queen mother!
Chapter 71
"Although the outside of the pass is barren, there are still many rich households. Every time the Tartars go south, they will plunder a lot of people and property. How can the queen mother think that the joint invasion of the Tartars did not get any benefits!" Zhu Cilin tilted his head. , asked seriously.
"That's because the strategy of 'strengthening the wall and clearing the wild' was thoroughly implemented. The tartars would go south every year when the grass was thin and thin, and plunder a lot of property, just to live a stable winter. Although this invasion came later than in previous years , but because they wanted to catch us off guard..."
Throughout the ages, every time these alien races from the north went south to hunt grass valleys, apart from money being wiped out, thousands of innocent people would be beheaded every time.Among them are the young and vigorous, the gentle and beautiful girls, the young children waiting to be fed, and the gray-haired old people. Even if they are lucky enough to escape death, they will be captured as slaves...
In the Qin Dynasty, the Xiongnu harassed the frontier, the Wuhu chaos in China, the Anshi rebellion, and the Jingkang disaster...
Which one is not a sin made by foreigners, which one is not the history of blood and tears of the Han people...
Let’s not talk about it, let’s talk about this time, if Yang Lingyue is not familiar with the proper arrangement, it is probably another elegy for the people of Zunhua!
Thinking of the Three Massacres in Jiading and the Ten Days in Yangzhou in history, Yang Lingyue couldn't help but feel palpitations. Later generations only use a few words to describe it, the bones are everywhere, the river is red... But it is enough for people with rich imagination to construct a picture in their minds. Shura Hell...
Yang Lingyue didn't want her offspring to be carried by ministers and jump into the sea like the last emperor of the Song Dynasty in history, and she didn't want to be like the third prince Zhu in history who hid for most of his life, but was still caught and sentenced to death...
It is said that "there will be no China after Yashan, and there will be no China after the death of Ming Dynasty"...
She just doesn't believe it...
Now that we have come to this stormy age...
Always try your best to do something to be worthwhile...
such as……
Yang Lingyue closed her eyes, then opened them again, but she didn't think about it anymore, but continued: "This time the Tartars bypassed the Ningjin line of defense and instead attacked Longjingkou, the idea was to attack them by surprise. Emperor, you also said that outside the pass Barren, the Zunhua generation is not comparable to Beijing and Tianjin, but there are many rich and big families. If they really entered the fortress through Longjingguan and other passes, Aijia thought, how can the "Grass Valley" hit this time make The Tartars lived a life without worrying about food and clothing for several years..."
"So rich..." The little emperor Zhu Cilin, who focused a bit differently, said in shock: "Queen, is this what the grand masters say, hiding wealth from the people?"
"Hiding wealth for the people, no, it should be hiding wealth for officials, and hiding wealth for scholars..." Empress Dowager Yang smiled sarcastically, and said maliciously: "Three years of governor, one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver, it is not a lie. Our famous scholars, Officials are the richest, much richer than the so-called rich merchants..."
"Is it because you don't have to pay taxes?" Zhu Ciling said with a small face that looked exactly like Zhu Youxiao's, "So this is why the mother raised the commercial tax and lowered the agricultural tax?"
"This is just one of them..." Empress Dowager Yang looked at Zhu Cilin and said earnestly: "Tianlin, how much agricultural tax can Daming collect according to the current predicament of natural disasters and man-made disasters? Shaanxi and other places suffer from disasters every year, and taxes are reduced and exempted every year. Every year, the government needs to allocate funds to open granaries to help the people. If it were not for the maintenance of commercial taxation, it is estimated that the finances would have collapsed and the deficit would be full."
"Mother, my son understands! But why is there still a minister Shangshu who proposes to lower the commercial tax and increase the agricultural tax!"
"Didn't Tianlin say it before, because they don't have to pay taxes, and scholars are exempted from land taxes. And commercial taxes, hehe, even our chubby Shi Shoufu can't guarantee that there is no businessman in his family. As Businessmen must pay taxes, so this touches their interests, so they behave as if their parents are dead..."
"They should be damned." Because Empress Dowager Yang spoke in a simple and easy-to-understand manner, Zhu Cilin, who was already six years old and almost seven years old, understood it.And just because he understood, Zhu Cilin looked very angry and said: "The tax belongs to me, why should they want to pay less tax!"
"Based on their status as scholars, they are officials of the Ming Dynasty. The Ai family also wants to kill them all, but is it useful to kill them? Can you guarantee that the next person to come to power will be good, and can you guarantee that he is dedicated to serving the country and has no selfish intentions!"
For these selfish guys, the change of dynasty is just another emperor they don't like.Just like when the Qing soldiers entered the customs, they immediately abandoned their old masters, took off their black gauze hats, Hanfu, cut their hair into pigtails, and put on flower feather hats. Tartar master licks boots...
In the eyes of these shameless people, as long as they are good, it's none of their business whether others die or not!It's just that their new masters are not as benevolent as their original masters. No matter how flattering they are, they still cannot escape the fate of being slaves, their wives and daughters being defiled, and their property being robbed...
Thinking of the group of patriots in history who spent a long time hanging out in the Qinlou and Chuguan, writing some sour poems to declare their level, Yang Lingyue couldn't help but have a toothache...
Anyway, she will not use Qian Qianyi, pretending to be Pijiang and other 'patriotic people'...
As for Wu Sangui...
Rushed to the crown and became a beauty...
The confidante is so innocent, she has become an excuse for a hypocrite to betray her...
Yang Lingyue smiled again, and her tone became more gentle and preached to the little emperor Zhu Cilin: "These scholar-officials, you must believe what they say, and you can't believe it all. At least half of it is right to believe and half to be suspicious. We cannot deny that the court needs them, and they are indispensable. They, but we can't let them become powerful, once they become powerful, it will be a disaster rather than a blessing, so there must be another type of people who can hold them back..."
"For example, the eunuchs in their mouth!" Zhu Cilin, who listened very carefully, raised his hand and asked like a good student.
"The Eunuch Party, that's just their derogatory name. To be precise, it should be called the Emperor Party, because their rights all come from the emperor, so their loyalty cannot be denied." Just like Wei Zhongxian, he is loyal to Zhu Youxiao, and even more so. Loyal to Zhu Cilin, just like Wei Zhongxian loves Zhu Cilin more than her, but he knows that the favor of the Wei family is only tied to Zhu Cilin, the little emperor, don't look at that old fox gradually not taking care of things.I understand it in my heart, knowing what to do can make Zhu Cilin, the little emperor who is smarter than Zhu Youxiao, a born emperor, rest assured!
The reason why Yang Lingyue only went so far as to tell Zhu Cilin that the eunuch was just a dog raised by the royal family was based on this.She can even keep dirty Ming officials, let alone Wei Zhongxian who is related to her by blood.The Wei family will be inherited by Mingda in the future, so she will take good care of it...
Zhu Cilin is her blood, she doesn't want her relatives to be alienated by rumors from outsiders, and she is also afraid that after a hundred years, the gradually prosperous Wei family will collapse because of her death, so this is the true meaning of Yang Lingyue's words .
Fortunately, the little emperor Zhu Cixiu was a good boy. Although he loved money to such an extent that he was really a brilliant gem in the old Zhu family, he still understood and understood what Yang Lingyue meant.
"After I understand my mother, I will do as you said in the future and learn how to be a good emperor!"
Zhu Cilin felt that only when he became the emperor could he let go of the grand money collection plan he had constructed, so he made a serious promise to Queen Mother Yang.Zhu Cilin felt that his mother's mother still had some truth in what she said. For example, the money he collected in the future could not be handed over to his subordinates for safekeeping, but he chose Xiaodouzi, who was his most loyal dog!
No matter how smart Empress Dowager Yang is, she doesn't have the ability to read people's hearts, so she doesn't know that her son is ambitious to collect all the wealth in the world.After Zhu Cilin made such a promise, Empress Dowager Yang felt very relieved, and began to teach him to review the memorials hand in hand.
A few days later, the good news of the great victory in the defense of the Great Wall pass was shrouded by the cloud of the Songpanwei earthquake in Chengdu, Sichuan.Empress Dowager Yang decreed that the governor of Chengdu presides over the relief and reconstruction work after the earthquake. ,
Just after the relief and reconstruction work in Sichuan after the earthquake announced a section of road, and people's livelihood gradually recovered, Mingda, who had already taken the post of governor of Jiliao, suddenly posted a note saying that due to the large-scale shortage of food in Mongolian tribes, he deliberately surrendered and hoped that Ming would treat them as sons and daughters. Treat the people and transport food to help them tide over the difficulties!
Of course, Mingda told the story in a purely declarative tone, and at the end he wrote wittily at the end of the memorial: If the truth is true, I directly want to reply that these wolf cubs starve to death. If you tell lies, uh, this kind of thing It's not good for a minister to make a private decision, it's better for the empress dowager to make it clear...
Seeing this, Empress Dowager Yang chuckled, brought up a Zhubi and replied: It is true that it would be best to starve to death, but if they really want to ask for food under the pretext of surrender, they are told that they can borrow food, and that they must go to the interior with their clan, and break up the clan to live with the Han people.
She still summed up the experience of later generations in this kind of ethnic integration method. After several generations of blood fusion, there will be no Mongolians at that time.Didn't you say surrender, then surrender thoroughly, otherwise how would she know that you borrowed money for yourself, or for the Houjin regime, which was also poor in food and grass and in distress.
Neither she nor Mingda, who is now fully in charge of the defense of Liao, Shanhaiguan, Layden, and Tianjin, is not the kind of person who feeds the white-eyed wolves with the flesh and blood of his own people. Stress too!
Yang Lingyue asked Jin Yiwei to send the memorial that she had already reviewed to Liaodong in a hurry, and at the same time began to recall the history...
Yang Lingyue remembers that Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao in history, did such a stupid thing, lending food to the various ministries of Mongolia to meet difficulties, and the result was hahaha...
Huang Taiji, who benefited from it, planned the Jisi Change, that is, the battle of Houjin's attack on the capital of the Ming Dynasty... Then Yuan Chonghuan personally led the army to break the siege of the capital, which also planted the root of disaster for Huang Taiji's successful implementation of the anti-indirect strategy.
In history, the Mongolian tribes borrowed money first, and then Huang Taiji led an army of [-] to attack the Great Wall pass. In this time and space, it was just the opposite, and the result of the handling was also the opposite of the history. Instead of Yuan Chonghuan in history, he served as Ji Liao Ming Da, the supervisor and the governor of Liaodong, is not so kind. The two siblings just went along the way, and decided that it would be best for the prairie wolf cubs to starve to death.
It is undeniable that Yuan Chonghuan is still good at fighting, but the political aspect is not so good, otherwise Mao Wenlong was killed as long as he was killed in history. I don’t know that the first-rank military officer appointed by the court deserves to be killed. That is also the court’s business. .
