Chapter 629 Wu Sangui, your chance has come!
Fengxiang Mansion, Qishan Camp.
Wu Sangui's confidant generals were invited to the Chinese army's tent early this morning to attend a major event that affected whether everyone's wallets would be rich.
It is already the end of December in the 20th year of Chongzhen, and the New Year's Eve is just a few days away. During the Chinese New Year, everyone does not go back to Fengxiang Fucheng to reunite with their little wives, but gathers at Wu Sangui's Chinese army tent. Of course,
Something big happened.
There was not just one big event, but two big events that could change the direction of history.
One of them was the Qing Emperor Ama's overthrow in Qufu!
Although Dorgon did not excavate Confucius, he only let his subordinates dig the graves of a group of deceased bureaucrats and landlords. However, the news that reached Qishan Camp was wrong. It was rumored that Dorgon personally presided over the excavation.
The excavation and archaeological work of Kong Lin was very fruitful!
Although the bones of the late saint were not found, a large number of relics of the late saint were discovered. The legacy of the late saint is extremely valuable!
However, the fact that Dorgon made a fortune by fighting in Qufu had little to do with Wu Sangui. Although he had no money and owed usury to Jabs, he did not have to make money by digging graves and fighting to repay his debts.
And another big thing is huge!
Zhang Xianzhong is dead!
The Great Western Emperor Zhang Xianzhong, who ascended the throne twice, is now dead in an upright manner. This is a great good thing!
When Zhang Xianzhong was alive, he couldn't defeat Wu Sangui, but now that he is in decline, why not just let Wu Sangui bully him?
Just when Wu Sangui was gearing up for a big fight, the leaderless Daxi Kingdom sent another envoy to Qishan Camp. He was a Xiaolian Duke named Wu Xiaoyi, who was also the magistrate of Yanshi County in the Ming Dynasty and Daxi Dynasty.
It was because of his arrival that Wu Sangui convened a military meeting with his trusted generals before the New Year.
"Zhang Xianzhong, the bandit leader, is really dead. He was seriously injured by Donglu's cannon and then died. He died in Xiaguan's walled city. Xiaguan found a thin-skinned coffin to put him in.
"
"As soon as Thief Xian died, the people below him were leaderless, and there was no successor to the pseudo-emperor. His four adopted sons closed the door and discussed for half a night, and they almost broke up. At the end of the discussion, the pseudo-Daxi
There will be no emperor after the country, and the four kings will rule together. It is Zhang Kewang, Zhang Dingguo, Zhang Wenxiu, and Zhang Nengqi who have the final say together."
"Zhang Xianzhong ordered the four of them not to surrender to the Eastern Han Dynasty, but to the Ming Dynasty, and told them to surrender to Li Zicheng, but the main road into Sichuan was occupied by the king, so they asked the official to come and borrow a way to survive."
The Chinese army of the Qishan camp was located in a side hall in the Zhougong Temple. Wu Sangui sat high up, generals from the Guan Ning Army sat on both sides, and Wu Xiaoyi, the envoy of the Daxi Kingdom, stood at the bottom of the hall, talking about Daxi to everyone.
the current situation of the country.
From time to time, the generals of the Wu Jiajun asked questions, and Wu Xiaoyi patiently answered them one by one.
After Wu Xiaoyi finished speaking, everyone had no more questions to ask. Wu Sangui then waved his hand and asked the soldiers to take Wu Xiaoyi down to rest.
As soon as Wu Xiaoyi left, Wu Sangui asked with a smile: "Everyone, do you think we should let the thieves' sons live?"
"We can't let them go! How can we let them go? They are all rogues and thieves."
"These thieves are all guilty of heinous crimes. They once excavated the Fengyang Emperor's tomb! We are all, and we will soon be loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty. How can we let them go?"
"Yes! Everyone can punish these evil thieves. We should eliminate the thieves for the country and share the worries for the king!"
A group of Ezhen and Zhang Jing who held the green flag of the Qing Dynasty were all furious at this moment. They wanted to fight against Zhang Xianzhong's four sons because of the excavation of the Fengyang Imperial Tomb of the Ming Dynasty! They were so loyal!
Wu Sangui turned his attention to his cousin Zukefa again. Zukefa was finally no longer the marriage envoy with his head pinned to his belt. He was now the imperial envoy to Gansu and Shaanxi, and his task was to appease Wu Sangui.
Zukefa also shook his head, "Uncle Chang, we cannot let them enter Sichuan, otherwise the situation in Sichuan will be uncontrollable."
The situation in Sichuan is now relatively stable, and it is in a state of stable civil war! The civil war is still going on, but the lives of the people have become relatively stable. The Dashun Group led by Li Guo and the Daxi Group led by Zhang Xianzhong are very different. Later
Basically, they are still a bandit group, and the leader is a perverted murderer.
Since the 16th year of Chongzhen, the Dashun Group has been working hard to establish a new feudal dynasty to replace the Ming Dynasty. Although in this process, the Dashun Group has taken many detours, but after taking too many detours, you can still find something.
It is simply unrealistic for a peasant rebel army like Dashun to seize the world and seize the throne of Longting without making some detours. It has always been correct.
In fact, Li Zicheng was just a real bandit before the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, and he probably never thought about seizing the world. In the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, he used part of the main force of the Ming army to pursue Zhang Xianzhong into Sichuan, and part of the main force of the Ming army was captured.
When he was transferred to Liaodong to fight against the Qing Dynasty, he raised the banner of "equalizing land and eliminating taxes" and also sang the song "Welcome King Chuang", which was regarded as having a political program and the determination to overthrow the Ming Dynasty.
From then on, Li Zicheng's group really started to get on the right track. However, the subsequent victory came too quickly, leaving Li Zicheng with no time and neglecting political power construction and social reform, so he suffered a devastating defeat.
However, due to the rise of Zhu Cixiang, Nanming became the main enemy of the Qing Dynasty, and gave Li Zicheng's group a second and third chance of trial and error.
Therefore, although Li Zicheng died, the feudal revolutionary cause he pioneered became more and more stable.
The Dashun Army that entered Sichuan also completely changed their style of rogue bandits (they were no longer rogue bandits). Not only were their military disciplines strict and they did not harm ordinary people, they also paid great attention to the construction of base areas. All prefectures and counties occupied by them would spend a lot of money.
A lot of effort will be put into inventorying the population and land, and then planned land enclosures and land allocations will be carried out.
Enclosure and land conferment are land grants to Dashun Army officers and soldiers who enter Sichuan. According to their official positions and titles or titles, 501,000 acres of land will be awarded. Among them, the land cannot be hereditary.
It is land that can be passed down to future generations.
Moreover, the Dashun Army also learned the lessons from the fall of Xiangyang and Nanyang, and no longer concentrated the evil policy of enclosure (the enclosure is definitely a bad policy, but without enclosure, there would be no feudal army, and without the feudal army, there would be no feudal dynasty).
One land, but dispersed to every state capital ruled by Dashun. In principle, the amount of land occupied by the Dashun army in a state capital will not exceed 30% of the total acres of land in the state capital.
The remaining 70% was used to calculate the land and distribute it to the common people of the state.
However, not all common people could divide their fields, because the Dashun Dynasty also needed commerce and handicrafts. Therefore, after the Dashun Dynasty entered Sichuan, they also began to use their registration to divide the gentry, agriculture, industry and commerce.
Of course, the household registration in Dashun was not as detailed as in the early Ming Dynasty. It only divided the common people in Sichuan into three categories: farmers, workers and merchants.
Among them, farmers accounted for the vast majority. They were all assigned land and were responsible for the corresponding rent and adjustment. In addition, without the approval of the local government, farmers were not allowed to leave the county. People said that they were born bandits. Of course, they had to guard against new bandits!
Workers and merchants, on the other hand, are relatively free and can move freely within the territory of the state. Their industrial and commercial household registration is not returned to the county, but is directly controlled by the state. They do not need to pay taxes, but they have to bear the burden of "Hebuying" and "Changyong". The so-called "Hebuying" and "Changyong"
"Buy" means selling products at the price set by the Dashun court! And "Changyong" means doing corvee service for a long time.
Among them, craftsmen households have to work for free in government-run workshops.
The merchants have to work for the government-run merchants. All commercial flows across the prefectures (Zhili Prefectures) are controlled by the government-run merchants. Control does not mean that the government directly does business, but that a certain commodity is placed in the market.
The wholesale rights of a certain state are contracted out to several merchants, who are responsible for the operation.
In short, the Dashun regime adopted a strategy of steady and careful management in Sichuan, so progress was very slow. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty was able to stabilize the situation for the time being.
Wu Sangui has also been keeping an eye on Sichuan, a land of abundance. Of course he knows the situation there. He is also planning to send troops to Sichuan after the situation in Shaanxi is stabilized to deal with Li Zicheng's remnants on behalf of Zhu Cihong! Therefore, he is unwilling to let the Daxi Army, a group of unruly bandits,
Then he went back to Sichuan.
