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

In the name of Dorgon, Hong Chengchou sternly rebuked the watching warlord leaders.

Then, he asked another group of people to send another order. In Dorgon's tone, he ordered the second generations to immediately lead their troops and head to the Huaihe River.

In the letter, he told them that as long as they captured the city, they were allowed to remain unsealed for three days.

Hong Chengchou specifically told the messenger that the second letter would be delivered earlier than the first.

How could they not understand the meaning of not sealing the sword for three days!

Doesn’t this just give them a free hand to grab it?

In this way, these people who are waiting on the sidelines will definitely send their elite to grab money.

As long as those second generations are mobilized, the old guys will become pawns of the Qing Dynasty.

Moreover, under the stimulation of huge amounts of money, these losers will inevitably make a choice.

……

really!

Hong Chengchou's method worked.

It was just a letter, in the name of Dorgon being "named" the emperor's father and queen regent, and giving favors to the generals. The people who were watching just now screamed to arm their nephews.

Almost on the day the letter was delivered, more than a dozen armies had already left their lair and headed south.

After receiving the instructions from Hong Chengchou, it was not until the army left the city that the first order written by Hong Chengchou was belatedly delivered to them.

Knowing that they had fallen into a trap, however, for the sake of profit, these warlord leaders who were still waiting on the sidelines mobilized their armies and rushed towards Xuan Mansion.

The situation is becoming more and more confusing.

……

Taolinkou Great Wall in Yongping Prefecture.

A river called Qinglong River passes through the wall from the northern land, goes straight to the pass, merges into the Luan River, and flows into the Bohai Sea.

Sanchakou is a fort where the Ming army was stationed.

By this time, it had been abandoned for a long time.

Artemisia annua, which is taller than a human, covers the wilderness around Sanchakou Fort, and the fort dock is in disrepair...

It looks even more desolate.

I don’t know how long ago, the smoke from the fortress disappeared...

There were people again.

A rebel army of less than a thousand people was resting here, and the leading soldiers were burying pots and making rice.

The leader was none other than Gao Shan, a young bastard from the land of Sanjin in the past.

If this rich young man from the Tu ethnic group who was idle in the past could still be strong in the Ming Dynasty...

Gao Shan, who was idle, sneaking around, and getting into fights, was sentenced to death because he accidentally killed someone.

He just offended a wealthy family and was thrown into prison.

It's just that the Gao family of the Tu ethnic group has only one ending, either losing their beloved son, or having their family property drained away and reduced to the bottom of society...

Tu tribe...

The Tu people are relative to the noble people.

The so-called Tu nationality is the name given to those families whose family members have passed the imperial examination threshold, but have never been elected as civil servants. They are half buried in the gentry class.

Because officials can be selected by raising people, only if someone from the third generation enters the officialdom will they become a true member of the gentry.

The Tu people are better off than the "small landowners" in later attributions.

But he only has a "humble certificate" that barely reaches the threshold of officialdom.

Landlords are those rich people who have some land at home, but at most they have the fame of being a child.

Homeowners, as well as small landowners with dozens or hundreds of acres of land, are classified into the same category and are called "peasants."

As for those who lease fields and cultivate them, they are "blind".

If it faces downward again, it is called "flow".

If you join a wealthy family and become a servant or servant, you are called a "slave".

Although since the Qin Dynasty, the imperial powers of all dynasties have been constantly attacking wealthy families and prohibiting them from recruiting slaves.

However, how can this thing be completely banned?

Although he became a slave, not to mention his own life and death, and even the life and death of his descendants, were all in the hands of powerful men.

But - there is no stopping the powerful from taking control of resources!

If you don't become a slave, you will starve to death...

Don't you see, the army that fought all over the world in the early Ming Dynasty became "weak and incompetent" once its granary was taken away!

This is the terrible thing about the tyranny of the gentry!

As long as you step on their tail, even the imperial power will have to give way!

Whether you surrender yourself to slavery, force others to be slaves, or "do a lot of good deeds and earn enough money to feed others in your home"...

There are policies from above; there are countermeasures from below...

This "slave" can't be restrained...

These people make up the majority of the population. However, many times they are not even qualified to be counted.

Because the registered population has to pay a "ding tax"...

In the feudal dynasty, the poor...that's not called blind migration, it's called blind migration...

Poor - no more than three generations...

Because after three generations, the roots were cut off!

The thousand or so people led by Gao Shan were exactly like this - a team composed of blind people.

Not just his camp!

The people Lang Fang led were originally "liu" - construction workers who made a living by working for others...

The core of the people Zhang Huanchu brought was "blind" - they had lost their land and were working hard as servants in Zhang Huanchu's tofu workshop...

These history books will not record it, and the people at the bottom of society who will not be told by celebrities and experts, in the darkest moment of the late Ming Dynasty when the country was ruined and their families were destroyed, used their weak shoulders and used the cry that was so silent that "the sea of ​​​​history is silent" to support them. The backbone of China.

Those who lead carts and sell pulp, and sell men and women as slaves, are not prominent in history, but they have an upright character!

How many powerful people, how many "masters" who have taken over all the resources, are not worthy of carrying their shoes!

Although Gao Shan is a gangster, he is loyal. Although he is sneaky, he loves to fight against injustice.

It is precisely because he has a good heart that he can raise his voice and the people follow him voluntarily.

In the battle of Guihua City, Gao Shan's men obtained more than 200 heads.

According to the emperor’s new military merit rewards:

Kill one enemy, and you will be promoted to a ninth-level official. Kill ten enemies, and you will be promoted to ninth level. After that, every time you kill ten enemies, you will be promoted to one level.

If an official of the highest rank is superior, he will personally be given the title of general.

According to the military merit exchange system customized by the emperor, Gao Shan has far exceeded the level of a first-grade official.

At that time, he could have left his brothers behind, moved to a local area, and become a county magistrate.

Military merit can be transferred to civilian positions, and craftsmen can be transferred to civilian positions. This is the biggest reform for Zhu Youjianwa to control the country and manipulate the government.

In the new Ming Dynasty, military generals could do the errands of civilian officials, and craftsmen could do the errands of civilian officials. Civilian officials were prohibited from taking charge of the army, construction, and craftsmanship.

They could only make suggestions and serve as counselors to military aircraft.

As long as Gao Shan changes his job...

With his military exploits, he started as a county magistrate.

More than 200 heads are enough to become a sixth-grade official!

As long as Gao Shan's three-year term is up and he has made political achievements, he can serve as the deputy of the first government.

After one more training session, as long as you make no mistakes, you can become a prefect who governs millions of people!

From now on, the Gao family will be a member of the noble clan!

However, the longings of generations of the Gao family were obtained in Gao Shan's hands, only to be discarded in Gao Shan's hands.

I had already made up my mind to submit the application after the reward came out and become a mountain to my parents...
