Dashun Yongchang

Cleaning up Jiangxi Wangzhuang and distributing it to the landless poor is a major task for the stability of the place. How can we not do it because of a little bit of infamy?I took your position this time to do this, so you will have no peace in Jiangxi, because those clans and gentry will definitely seek you out. "

After Yuan Jixian heard this, he finally fell silent. Yang Tinglin was telling the truth. If Yang Tinglin really wanted to find out when he came back to Jiangxi, those clans and gentry would definitely come and recommend him to the top. At that time, he might not be able to push him if he wanted to, unless he Decided to expel myself from this circle.

Seeing Yuan Jixian's embarrassed expression, Yang Tinglin immediately continued: "Actually, it is beneficial for you to go to Yangzhou. At least you can get in touch with the prince. Compared with King Fu, the prince is smart and quick, and he looks more like ZTE."

Yuan Jixian looked at him with strange eyes and said, "The prince can still rejuvenate now?"

Yang Tinglin said without changing his expression: "Li Zicheng has no biological son, and there are no outstanding talents in the rebel army. Why can't we wait..."

Chapter 568 Chengdu

The warm but not hot sunlight shines through the grape racks, and occasionally there is a breeze, which makes Li Laiheng, who is sitting in the courtyard drinking tea, feel very comfortable.A pot of water was burning on the charcoal stove beside him, and a bowl of Mengding camellia tea produced in Sichuan was brewed on the table in front of him. This was a kind of peaceful life.

Unlike the mood when he came to Chengdu last year, this time he has no anxiety in his heart, so he can enjoy the tranquility.In fact, he doesn't like war. The war that accompanied him since he was a child was just an instinct, but he mistakenly thought that it was the whole of life. Until he served as an attendant by Li Zicheng's side, he began to gradually understand that life is actually not Not just war.

Although his father thinks that His Majesty has changed a bit compared to the past, Li Laiheng doesn't think so. He thinks His Majesty should be like this now. He is full of confidence in facing any problem and can find a solution.He can no longer remember what the so-called His Majesty looked like in the past.

Just as Li Laiheng was enjoying the quiet afternoon, a footstep hurried into the courtyard, Li Laiheng looked up, smiled and invited: "General Jia is here, it's not as good as the coincidence, just brewed Mengding camellia, sit down and drink a bowl."

Although Jia Hanfu was hot in his heart, he still sat down and drank a bowl of tea patiently. Then he opened his mouth and said to Li Laiheng, "Chief Guard Li, just received a message from Wang Zhaolin, saying that King Zhang decided to send troops."

Li Laiheng was carrying a pot to add water to Jia Hanfu's tea bowl, and said with a smile: "Wang Zhaolin is quite an interesting person. When I revealed my identity last year, he also proposed to kill me to prevent the truth from being revealed in Sichuan. This time when he saw me, he said that he I have infinite admiration for His Majesty, and I don't know if his father-in-law will faint from anger after hearing this."

Jia Hanfu said calmly: "This time is different from the past. Since Your Majesty has repelled the Qing army and merged with the Ming Dynasty, our Dashun has achieved the unification of the world. Zhang Xianzhong can't even unify the land of Sichuan. Naturally, Wang Zhaolin doesn't want to fight with this dynasty." In the end. Based on my observations, nine out of ten of the Daxi Army are willing to maintain the status quo, rather than continue to compete with the dynasty for the world. Zhang Xianzhong himself is probably the only one in the Daxi Army who is not reconciled.

It's just that this dispatch of troops may not be because Zhang Xianzhong sincerely surrendered to the dynasty, he may also want to use this opportunity to open up the situation in Yunnan.Without our support, if Zhang Xianzhong wanted to lead his troops into Yunnan, he would have to be restrained by the Sichuan government army first. Now we have opened the channel for him to enter Yunnan. "

Regarding Jia Han's worries, Li Laiheng said disapprovingly: "We have opened the way for the Great Western Army to enter Yunnan, but Zhang Xianzhong is too narrow-minded, it is impossible for him to leave his foundation in Chengdu and lead troops into Yunnan.

Although the Daxi Army respected Zhang Xianzhong, they only feared Zhang Xianzhong alone. After leaving Zhang Xianzhong, whether these people would be loyal to Zhang Xianzhong is very suspicious in my opinion.Therefore, no matter who leads troops into Yunnan, they may be suspected by Zhang Xianzhong. In the end, this kind of suspicion will make the coach who presides over the Yunnan Great Western Army have to leave the Great Western Army. We just need to wait for this opportunity to appear. "

Jia Hanfu nodded, but sighed again: "Even though they were trapped in Sichuan, the Great Western Army still had a bit of enterprising spirit, but those Ming soldiers in Sichuan didn't have the slightest thought of defending the country, they only wanted to protect the country." The Great Western Army drove out of Sichuan and took back the control of Sichuan, and these people may become the source of disasters in Sichuan in the future."

Li Laiheng also agreed and said: "Sichuan's officers and soldiers are not as comprehensive as a stone pillar chieftain. It's a pity that Mrs. Qin doesn't want to serve the new dynasty. Otherwise, Sichuan's officers and soldiers can be handed over to her for rectification."

Jia Hanfu felt that Li Laiheng's idea was too bold. Qin Liangyu was a loyal minister of Ming Dynasty. If the Sichuan army was in her hands, it would be more troublesome to cause trouble. Differentiation and disintegration.

He didn't want to cater to Li Laiheng, so he changed the subject and said, "This time I'm going to Yunnan, it's better to let me supervise the army. It's better to sit in Chengdu and get in touch with the generals of the Western Army, maybe it will be useful in the future."

Li Laiheng glanced at him and said: "The chieftains in Shadingzhou are actually not beaten. The most troublesome thing is the coordination of the relationship between the Daxi Army and the local soldiers and civilians. I can still pretend to be a tiger if I go. I'm afraid you won't be able to solve this problem." Besides, if I stay in Chengdu, Zhang Xianzhong will probably become vigilant. He has escaped from the court many times, so he is not an ordinary person. Only when we leave, some people can act. Compared with external enemies , house thieves are even more difficult to guard against..."

At this time, in Daxi Palace, Zhang Xianzhong was sitting cross-legged on a dragon chair, talking with his son-in-law Wang Zhaolin.Ever since Zhang Xianzhong captured Chengdu, his temper became a little weird. He asked the army to abide by military orders, and officials and people to abide by government orders, but he often took the initiative to break these military laws and government orders. He felt quite free-wheeling.

In terms of etiquette, although he is not interested in the former Ming Dynasty, he often ridiculed those officials who surrendered in public, how qualified they are to be loyal and filial, but when someone really violated the etiquette in front of him, he would often deal with it strictly .

For a while, not to mention the civilian officials who surrendered did not dare to speak out in front of Zhang Xianzhong, even the military generals of the Great Western Army only dared to speak out to echo Zhang Xianzhong's proposition, for fear that Zhang Xianzhong, who had become moody, would not know which nerve was wrong for a while. I pushed it down and cut it.As a result, the voices in the court gradually became quieter. Except for Wang Zhaolin, the son-in-law and a few godsons, everyone else could only raise their hands when they went to court.

And Zhang Xianzhong's behavior is actually not insane, but Wang Zhaolin, a good son-in-law, entrusted him to him.The scholar told Zhang Xianzhong a story of "I like to kill people in my dreams". Zhang Xianzhong felt that it made sense. In fact, his current situation and Cao Cao's situation are not much different. Both have strong enemies outside and their own foundation is unstable. Worried about someone cutting off his own head to claim the reward.

Instead of letting those people form cliques in private for personal gain, it is better to let them ponder their own thoughts all the time, fearing themselves and not daring to mess around.This is also the root cause of Zhang Xianzhong's stricter and stricter attention to military discipline and etiquette. However, what he doesn't know is that the greatest benefit brought by grasping military discipline and etiquette issues is not to solve the problem, but to solve the person who raised the problem.

Generally speaking, people who are not worthy of morality like to be disciplined, so that they can justifiably give little shoes to those who have different opinions.Zhang Xianzhong paid close attention to discipline and etiquette, and indeed suppressed many voices of dissatisfaction. He thought it was an achievement, but in fact, people didn't recognize him as his lord at all. Since he wasn't the lord, there was nothing to say.

However, Zhang Xianzhong didn't realize this. He only felt that the xenophobia of Sichuan people was too serious, so he refused to admit his own strength, so he hated Sichuan people even more.In front of his son-in-law Wang Zhaolin, he said unabashedly: "These Sichuan people are against us everywhere, and they are all inspired by those scholars. I think I am too polite to these scholars.

That Gong Wanjing, we have made him Minister of the Ministry of War, and he still whispers in our ears every day that our army has caused too much harm to the people of Sichuan, so the people of Sichuan rose up to rebel.Whose official is he serving as?Go check it out for us, what does he do at home every day, if he is cursing us, I will peel his skin off. "

Wang Zhaolin nodded repeatedly and said: "These Sichuan people surrendered today and betrayed tomorrow. They have no loyalty to our Daxi Kingdom. They really should kill a few people as a deterrent. But the envoy of the imperial court is still in Chengdu. If we kill people like this, he will stand up." How to stop it?"

Zhang Xianzhong cursed: "What imperial court? Let's give Li Zicheng face and respect him as His Majesty is enough, but he still wants to climb on top of us to shit and piss? We, the Daxi King, were created by ourselves, not him. Rewarded."

Wang Zhaolin closed his mouth and did not speak. After Zhang Xianzhong scolded him, he still sat down and said, "Forget it, let's wait for that brat to leave. Li Zicheng is very small-minded. It would be boring to be jealous of him."

Then Wang Zhaolin said: "Your Majesty is wise, let Li Zicheng be proud for two days, wait for His Majesty to take Yunnan and manage it well, and then seize Guizhou and Guangxi. The southwestern half of the country will belong to me. Daxi. I will have to see Li Zicheng then. Do you dare to stand up in front of His Majesty?"

Hearing this, Zhang Xianzhong became very happy. He stroked his beard and said, "Li Zicheng has done us a great favor this time, and invited us to enter Yunnan to quell the chaos. Hehe, it really came true. Yunnan is a group of people." Surrounded by mountains, with Yunnan in hand, our Daxi Army can advance and retreat freely."

Wang Zhaolin then said cautiously: "It's just that although Your Majesty wants to preside over the expedition, I still feel a little worried. The distance between Yunnan and Chengdu is thousands of miles, and there are heavy mountains and big rivers in the middle. Can't you continue to obey His Majesty?"

Zhang Xianzhong pondered for a while and then said: "It's okay, I'll let Dingguo go with me, and I'll be in charge of guarding Kewang in the personal barracks. He must not dare to disagree."

Wang Zhaolin thought for a while and then suggested: "Or let Kewang arrive in Yunnan, report the battle situation to His Majesty every ten days and a half months, and then His Majesty will write a letter to guide him in combat. In this way, you can test out Kewang's loyalty, and you will also be able to see the situation." Let the soldiers know that this battle was finally won under His Majesty's command."

Zhang Xianzhong thought for a long time before squeezing out a word from his teeth, "Yes."

But Zhang Xianzhong quickly added: "It is hoped that troops will be dispatched soon. You can tell Li Laiheng and see if you can send him away too..."

After Wang Zhaolin agreed, he talked with Zhang Xianzhong for a while, and then he resigned and left.After returning home, Wang Zhaolin changed into casual clothes, and then arrived at Li Laiheng's residence in a carriage.

In front of Li Laiheng, he told the other party exactly what he had said about his conversation with Zhang Xianzhong, and there was nothing to hide.Li Laiheng was also very happy after hearing this, and said to him: "Scholar Wang's knowledge is still enough. I think if Sichuan is unified in Japan, it is enough for Scholar Wang to be a governor of Sichuan..."

Chapter 569

Although the position of a governor of Sichuan is incomparable with Wang Zhaolin's current status as the chief assistant of Daxi Kingdom, Wang Zhaolin is very grateful to Li Laiheng and vows that he will only be loyal to His Majesty Yongchang in the future.

In fact, Li Laiheng was also very curious about what Wang Zhaolin was thinking. Now that the Daxiguo ship hadn't sunk, why he couldn't wait to jump off the ship.Therefore, at the end of the conversation, he couldn't help asking nonchalantly: "I don't doubt Xueshi Wang's loyalty to His Majesty, but can I ask, why did you choose His Majesty?"

Wang Zhaolin thought for a while and said frankly: "My father-in-law has too many sons, and my own son is too young. He wants me to keep his own son to take over, but I can't do it after thinking about it over and over again.

His four adopted sons have been fighting with him for many years, they are not easy people, and the generals in the army are attached to each other. When the father-in-law is around, no one dares to oppose him, but if he leaves, who can control these four people ?

If the father-in-law's own son wants to take the position, the Great Western Army has to clear out more than half of the people, so don't I become the object of the general's hatred?At that time, even if my father-in-law's own son really takes over the seat, there will be no good end for me.

Besides, His Majesty Yongchang is already in the sky, no matter how much the Daxi Kingdom struggles, it will only be a corner. Since His Majesty intends to recruit us, it is naturally more secure to rely on His Majesty. "

Li Laiheng immediately understood Wang Zhaolin's mood. The most troublesome and dangerous thing in any group is the line of heirs. If you stand in the wrong line, you will be doomed.As Wang Zhaolin, he can only stand on the side of his own brother-in-law, but he is facing four fake brothers-in-law who have mastered the military power. There is almost no possibility of winning this round, because there are still external forces in Daxi Kingdom. Even under military pressure, even Zhang Xianzhong could not lift the military power of these adopted sons. What would Wang Zhaolin, a civil servant, have to fight against the warriors holding the army?

It's no wonder that the Onishi Congress responded positively to the dispatch of troops to Yunnan, because Zhang Xianzhong also needed to stabilize the interior.Let these strong sons stay in Chengdu Goulian officials all day, Zhang Xianzhong probably can't sleep.

After understanding Wang Zhaolin's mood, Li Laiheng was finally relieved of his actions. Is this all a way out for self-protection?Obviously, Zhang Xianzhong's most trusted son-in-law didn't want to be the dedicated Zhuge Liang, he just wanted to save his own wealth and life, but this is also human nature.

After sending Wang Zhaolin away, Li Laiheng couldn't help but think of Dashun's heir issue. After conquering Beijing, there was a lot of competition about who ranked second in Dashun. Although everyone didn't show it clearly, they also showed Kind of like that.

That is to say, after that, His Majesty Yongchang reorganized the army and established a military council to give everyone the right to speak, which calmed down these internal conflicts.Afterwards, His Majesty raised the crown prince of Ming Dynasty and made the crown prince a banner of the Wenzhi faction, thus preventing the civil servants from being attached to some military generals, which is considered to balance the relationship between civil and military affairs.

Although the contradictions within Dashun still exist, compared with Daxi Kingdom, where father and son suspicions have begun to appear, Dashun is undoubtedly too normal. At the beginning of November, Li Laiheng followed Zhang Kewang and Li Dingguo to send troops to Yunnan, and Zhang Xianzhong suddenly set off a big case, bringing the

A group of Sichuan scholars headed by Gong Wanjing were executed.

When Zhang Xianzhong executed these scholars, he did not specify the official punishment. He just punished these scholars in the name of his servants. The method of execution was too cruel. The neutral Sichuan scholars were frightened.Peeling the grassland was originally a traditional handicraft of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming government liked to use this punishment for corrupt officials and bandit leaders.

But when the peasants imposed this kind of punishment on the scholar-bureaucrats, the scholar-bureaucrats couldn't bear it, not to mention that Zhang Xianzhong couldn't even bring out a strong crime, this is the way of the king of the mountain.No one is willing to follow a king of the mountain who does whatever he wants, because they don't know whether they will see the sun tomorrow.

The death of Gong Wanjing accelerated the separation of the people of Sichuan from Daxi Kingdom, and the people of Sichuan began to clearly support the Dashun regime.After all, the Ming Dynasty was gone, and the Daxi Army was already so brutal. It was said that the Shun Army was more powerful. The Sichuan people obviously did not want to deal with the two Daxi Army, so they recognized the Dashun regime that had not yet sent troops into Sichuan.

In the three years of Yongchang, except for the grasslands and Yunnan, the rest of China was quite stable. Both the Manchu and Dashun were working hard to manage their places to accumulate strength.The Han vassals headed by Wu Sangui also stuck to their territory, while suppressing the rebellion in the territory, while maintaining defenses against the Shun army. No major battles occurred on the front lines of Henan and Shandong.

Gao Jie, Jin Shenghuan, and Yang Yufan on the Shandong Peninsula wanted to launch an attack, but with the cooperation of Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming's cavalry and firearms, the three of them did not take advantage of the field battle.Gao Jie also had to admit that the Ming army was still different from the Ming army. These Han troops from the Liaodong Army were indeed more capable of fighting than his troops.

By this time, the three already knew that if they did not reorganize their troops, they might not be able to defeat the Qing army in the field.But this kind of reorganization means that they will lose control of the army, which is what the three of them are unwilling to do.They can only practice soldiers and horses with themselves, maybe they will be able to fight?

Li Zicheng didn't bother to pay attention to the three people in the Jiaodong Peninsula. The General Staff is now focusing on two main directions. One is to reorganize the garrison along the Yangtze River from Wuchang to Shanghai, so as to ensure that the Shun Army completely controls the middle of the Yangtze River. The downstream line; the other is to reorganize the Northwest Garrison, integrating the garrisons of Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, and Shanxi into one.

Once the integration of the armies in these two directions is completed, it means that the northwest and southeast directions of Dashun will be stable.The northwest is the old nest of Dashun. The stability of the northwest determines whether the Dashun regime has roots. The southeast is the land of Dashun's wealth. The stability of the southeast means that Dashun can survive economically.

When the armies in these two places were being reorganized, Henan officialdom also began its first clean-up.The cleanup was initiated by Yuan Zongdi, governor of the river. The reason was that many officials in the counties along the Yellow River were completely incompetent in their work.

Yuan Zongdi's letter was supported by a group of officials including Henan governor Zhang Jinyan. In essence, Li Zicheng gave a large number of local officials to these tyrants in order to appease the tyrants in Henan. Therefore, the common people did not have any opinion on these tyrants serving as local officials.

But when the troubled times turned into the ruled ones, external threats were eliminated, and internal oppression became the main contradiction in these places.Except for a few tyrants who wisely reduced or simply disbanded their own armed forces, and then became officials of Dashun with peace of mind, most of the tyrants are still increasing their own power according to their habits in troubled times. The dissatisfaction of the people in oppressed places.

Because in troubled times, if you increase your strength, you can go outside to rob, but under the awe of the Dashun army, these tyrants naturally dare not do such a thing again, they can only increase the pressure on the people of this county.But the people in this county support these tyrants because only these tyrants can protect themselves in troubled times, but now that everything is peaceful, the tyrants have to charge extra for raising soldiers, which is obviously unacceptable.

At the end of the autumn of the third year of Yongchang, incidents of people in various parts of Henan rebelling against local tyrants to levy excessive local taxes began to emerge in endlessly.On the other hand, officials from the imperial examination system, represented by Zhang Jinyan, also began to be unable to bear the continued encroachment of these local tyrants on the power of scholars to be officials.

When Zhang Jinyan wrote to the court, he cited a tragedy that a subordinate official encountered in the local area, saying that a certain local tyrant had kept a large number of domestic prostitutes at home, and all local officials who passed by would be received by him, and this subordinate official would be treated by him. Such a treat.But this subordinate official always despised this powerful person, so he didn't touch the woman sent by this powerful person that night, and wanted to send her back.

As a result, the woman cried to the official that she would be severely punished if she was sent back like this, and asked the official to keep her for one night, and said that she was also the queen of a certain official.The official was shocked when he heard this, because the certain official mentioned by the woman was also related to him, but he had lost track of him during the war.

So he asked about the woman's situation in detail, and the woman told the subordinate honestly that their family passed by here when they were fleeing, but the tyrant took a fancy to the property they carried, so he robbed and killed their family and left them behind. He hired a few young and beautiful women as domestic prostitutes, and said that Haoqiang did this not once or twice.

Zhang Jinyan's letter immediately aroused the anger of the gentry. They may only regret the death of a few ordinary people in the war, and some may not even feel sorry, but the gentry was killed like ordinary people, and their wives and daughters were reduced to Domestic prostitutes, this quite empathizes with them.Under the letters of these dissatisfied gentry, Ma Shiying had no choice but to propose to Li Zicheng to rectify Henan officialdom.

For Li Zicheng, it was exactly what he wanted.Although the Qingzhang Tianmu in Henan has done a good job in the past two years, they have also been stuck in the heads of some tyrants. At this time, cleaning up a group of tyrants will not only increase the central government's rule over Henan, but also further promote Henan's development. The land was reformed.

So he proposed to set up the Governor-General of the Central Plains to unify the general and political affairs in the hands of one yamen, so that incompetent local officials can be cleaned up, and those tyrants who try to resist stubbornly can be suppressed as soon as possible.The governor Li Zicheng nominated Yuan Zongdi and transferred Li Guo back. Ma Shiying did not object, so an operation to clean up local tyrants began in Henan.

At this time, Zhang Taisheng of Suizhou Jinxiang Academy published an article in the Dashun Times, saying that he had discovered the evidence of the rule of the Three Dynasties - oracle bone inscriptions. This news greatly shocked scholars all over the world.

Chapter 570 Shilin

Although Li Zicheng said that he wanted to restore Suiyang Academy, but under the opposition of the gentry in Guide Mansion, no one wanted the name of Suiyang Academy to fall on a little-known small local academy. Therefore, in the infighting among Henan people, Suiyang Academy has not been able to recover for a long time.

Although Zhang Taisheng obtained the management right of Jinxiang Academy in Suizhou with the support of Li Zicheng, and expanded the academy, his knowledge was still a bit weak after all, and he couldn't attract some prestigious Confucians to teach.

According to Li Zicheng's design, Yangzhou University is a rival that competes head-on with Confucianism, while Suiyang Academy is an insider who is carrying out reforms within Confucianism. In this way, Song and Ming Confucianism can be disintegrated and smashed.

Since we want to reform, new thinking alone is not enough, at least some Confucian scholars are needed to decorate the facade.Especially the oracle bone inscriptions, without the endorsement of Confucians, it would take decades just to distinguish the true from the false.

It was not until Sun Qifeng was attracted to the south by the oracle bone inscriptions that he added a bit of popularity to Suizhou Jinxiang Academy, and under Sun Qifeng's research, the oracle bone inscriptions were also confirmed to be true, and nearly 174 commonly used characters were sorted out. More than 300 oracle bone articles.While none of the texts have yet been deciphered, it has at least been established that the bones are written rather than meaningless inscriptions.

This discovery by Jinxiang Academy in Suizhou can be said to have greatly shocked scholars in the north and south. Many scholars in the south rushed to Henan with their disciples regardless of the disadvantages of traveling in winter.

Gu Yanwu wrote to Li Zicheng, advocating that all the oracle bones should be taken to Yangzhou and handed over to Yangzhou University for research. Because Gu Yanwu was still the dean of the Faculty of Arts of Yangzhou University at this time, Gu Yanwu's proposition was first opposed by scholars in Henan.

Huang Zongxi, a scholar from eastern Zhejiang who had always advocated not contacting the new dynasty, heard the news of the birth of the oracle bones, and packed his bags and prepared to go north while crying loudly.When the family asked why it was so, Huang replied: "It is a blessing for our generation that the oracle bones were born at this time, but it is a great misfortune for Ming Dynasty."

Huang Zongxi's prediction was not wrong. Ma Shiying immediately seized this opportunity and asked some scholars to concoct a eulogy of "the oracle bone was born and reappeared in three generations", advocating that the oracle bone came out for the sage king, and this sage king was Li Zicheng. Opposition to the restoration of the rule of the three generations is the moth of the country, and the honest and gentlemen should attack it together.

Ma Shiying's use of his strength to fight against the New Deal all of a sudden stunned those Jiangnan gentry who were trying to oppose the New Deal. Originally, they were not as powerful as the New Government. The orthodoxy advocated was broken by the oracle bones that turned out.

According to the theory of induction between heaven and man, Li Zicheng implemented these perverse and chaotic policies. As long as there is a disaster from the sky, the gentry will win, and the common people will not talk to you about science. Don't you have to be responsible for the disaster, you stupid king?

Given the size of China, if you want the entire region to be free from disasters throughout the year, this is a year of good harvests, but you can’t have smooth weather every year. After all, the Yangtze River and the Yellow River will flood once every three years. Water can be regarded as a warning from heaven to the emperor.This is the root cause of Zhu Yuanzhang's prohibition of scholars from studying astronomical knowledge, because these bastards study astronomical knowledge not for learning, but for disciplining the court. Zhu Yuanzhang accepted this.

Now that Li Zicheng wanted to kill the gentry as soon as he became emperor, these gentry naturally wanted to learn from the experience left by their ancestors and give Li Zicheng a warning from God.But the birth of the oracle bone broke the wishful thinking of these people.It is impossible for the oracle bone to come out for the tyrant and the decline of the world, otherwise the theory of interaction between heaven and man would go bankrupt, but according to the theory of interaction between heaven and man, Li Zicheng became a natural sage king, which is too much nonsense.

In any case, the birth of oracle bones suppressed the original discussion about the Jiangnan New Deal, and also improved Ma Shiying's reputation a lot.At least at this time, it is still politically risky to accuse Ma Shiying of being a traitor, because it is impossible for God to let oracle bones be born when a traitor messes up the court.At this time, the theory of interaction between heaven and man has become the shackles of scholars.

Because the northern and southern scholars disagreed about the birth of the oracle bone, Li Zicheng had a comfortable winter. At least no one would come to write a letter to discuss with him until the result of the dispute between the northern and southern scholars on the birth of the oracle bone at this time came out. What about the New Deal?Of course, Li Zicheng also knew that the most important thing was the successful translation of the first oracle bone article, otherwise Suiyang Academy would not be able to form a true Suiyang School.

This is what scholars in the north and south are fighting for. If the Suiyang School takes shape, other schools will have a hard time living in the future. After all, Confucius’ ideal is to restore the rule of the three generations. If it is not translated, why do you still study the restoration of the rule of the three generations?Does it mean that the hundreds of years of accumulation of your schools are meaningless?

Facing the life and death of this school, these Confucian scholars are already in a fight, so they don't care about the New Deal.To put it bluntly, Li Zicheng cannot live forever. The New Deal is changed today, and it may not be changed tomorrow, but if the school dies, there will be no chance to change it.

Faced with such a matter of life and death, these people could only endure the temporary loss of benefits, and instead flattered Li Zicheng, fearing that Li Zicheng would exclude them from the oracle bone script research group.It is of course a good deal for the new dynasty to trap these scholars who have great influence in Shilin with thousands of bone fragments.

Moreover, there are still a lot of oracle bones. As long as a steady stream of bone fragments continue to be discovered, these scholars estimate that their lifetimes will be wasted.For the people of Dashun, this is at least a good thing.

With the arrival of Yongchang four years ago, Li Zicheng felt that Dashun seemed to have entered a new era. This was not an illusion of his, but an impression given to him by the summary of intelligence collected from the bottom.

With the transformation of the post office in the Jiangnan area, the exchange of information between the eight traditional Jiangnan prefectures immediately accelerated, and the production capacity of the Jiangnan area was also improved.Although Jiangnan's economy was more developed than other regions in the past, it did not bring about much change in business, that is, the economic scale was larger than other regions.

However, with the emergence of the post office, some changes have finally appeared in the commerce and handicraft industry in Jiangnan. Merchants finally began to get rid of the mode of face-to-face transactions, but a mode of directing production by mail or posting letters for transactions.The commercial transaction mode is completed through message transmission, which greatly improves production efficiency, and the mailing of cash bills and remittance through post offices and banks speeds up the flow of funds.

For example, according to the traditional business model, the transaction must be paid in hard currency, so the 100 taels of silver will probably change hands two or three times within a year, but after adopting cash bills and remittance transactions, the 100 taels of silver will be transferred within a year. About 6 times can be circulated.It became possible to use other people's money to do your own business, which greatly promoted the prosperity of business.

Because of the economic prosperity in the south of the Yangtze River, a large amount of silver was put into the market, which made the ratio of gold and silver finally break through 1:14, compared to 1:12 in other parts of the country. The stability of gold prices and the depreciation of silver further promoted market consumption. Enthusiasm, because both gentry and businessmen hope to preserve or increase the value of their property through investment, and everyone's desire for gold is growing.

The iron and steel industry, coal industry, transportation industry and overseas timber mining industry have become the hottest investment projects in Yongchang at the end of three years, because these industries are more profitable than traditional projects. The few landlords and squires have temporarily stopped buying land in the mainland, and have sold many of their own fields.

Ever since gold mines were discovered in Taiwan, and the scale of Japan’s gold mines was reported back to China, adventurers who tried to go overseas to find gold mines appeared. Even gentry and businessmen began to support sending people to go overseas to look for gold mines. Luzon Island Rumors of a gold mine spread again, but this time there were no honest men who stood up against the use of weapons.

Because after Qian Qianyi brought the conditions offered by Li Zicheng to the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, many gentry thought that sending idle servants overseas was at least a way out. went.When the slave revolution broke out in the south of the Yangtze River before, even the army camp was rushed.

Moreover, because some slaves were abused too much on weekdays, when slavery broke out, they most liked to double the suffering they had suffered and return it to their masters.For example, some masters like to cut off the nose or ears of slaves who make mistakes, so the slaves will cut off his nose and ears.Facing the anger of these servants, the gentry were also full of fear.Surely it would be a good thing to send these slaves who have a hatred for them out to sea so that they never come back.

In this context, the gold mines in Luzon became the best excuse to send troops. In fact, everyone just wanted to occupy the land in Luzon and send the slaves in Jiangnan to reduce the chance of Jiangnan's rebellion.Of course, there is more than one Luzon Island overseas, so an overseas colonization fever broke out.

Li Zicheng carefully supported the public opinion support for overseas colonization, and he summoned the king's son of North Korea during the Spring Festival, and had a very private conversation with him.

Every time he saw Li Zicheng, Li Mo always felt an inexplicable sense of awe, which was even worse than when he was standing beside Dorgon, similar to the feeling of meeting Huang Taiji.Of course, he would not express this feeling, because he could feel that Li Zicheng had no affection for Huang Taiji and Dorgon. It was not similar to the hatred of Korean Confucian scholars for barbarians, but pure contempt.

Although Korean Confucian scholars hated the barbarians, they never dared to look down on these two people, because they were no match for the two Manchus.However, he also admitted that Li Zicheng had the right to look down on the two of them, because Li Zicheng ruled the world with his own hands, and starting from Nurhachi, the Manchus were actually wolf cubs raised by Ming Dynasty.

If it hadn't been for Wanli to make troubles in the frontier and Li Chengliang to raise his own self-esteem, then the Manchus in the northeast could not be unified into one nation at all.The result is that now Mongolia, North Korea, and Ming Dynasty drank this dose of poison together. Speaking of it, Mongolia and North Korea are quite wronged.However, he could only think about such thoughts in his head. After seeing Li Zicheng in Pingshan Hall, Li Wei immediately paid homage.

Chapter 571

Li Zicheng, who was sitting on the armchair, said after watching the prince of Joseon complete his salute, "Sit down and talk. I invite you to come here today, just to talk, don't be too nervous."

Li Yan agreed and sat down on the chair beside him, but he didn't think that Li Zicheng was looking for him to talk casually. He is not a fool. After staying by Huang Taiji's side for so long, he naturally knows that such a person wants to talk to you casually Talk, in fact, they can talk casually, but you can't listen casually.
