Chapter 174 Let’s make a revolution together! (Please subscribe, please vote)

"Principal, the largest landowner in Xinhui County is Huang Wanlin and Huang Laohanlin from Huangjia Village in Etangdu. His family not only owns a large amount of land in Xinhui, but also has many Zhuangzi in Xinning and Xin'an counties. The total number of acres owned

With more than 50,000 acres, they are probably the largest landowners in the three counties of Xiangshan, Xinning, and Xinhui. As long as we use thunderous means to win over this family, then other landowners will not dare to resist us!"

Zhou Chang, the magistrate of Xinhui County who had just taken office, was sitting in the cabin of an official ship sailing on the Xijiang River, dutifully talking to Wang Zhongxiao about the land equalization situation in Xinhui County.

This time, Wang Zhongxiao gathered elite soldiers and generals with a powerful sword to kill chickens. He also took advantage of the residual power of the victory of Hao'ao to kill the wealthy locals in Xiangshan, Xinhui and Xinning counties!

The reason why we want to "slaughter" them is of course to make a revolution.

What President Wang University wants to do now is not a rebellion that changes the soup but the medicine, but a revolution, a land equalization revolution!

The purpose of the land equalization revolution has never been limited to equalizing land so that people can have land to cultivate and live and work in peace and contentment. For rulers, the greatest use of the land equalization system is to compete with gentry landlords or gentry landlords for population and land

control!

In other words, the ruler must directly control part of the land and the population on it through the land equalization system!

In other words, we must kick out the middle class such as gentry landlords and gentry landlords, and directly obtain wealth and military resources from the land and population they control.

Under normal circumstances, the more land and population directly controlled by the court, the stronger the financial and military strength. On the contrary, the weaker the financial and military strength of the court.

Many dynasties in ancient China implemented policies to suppress annexations, with the purpose of slowing down the tendency of population and land to be controlled by a few powerful landowners, in order to maintain the country's military and financial resources.

Many once-powerful dynasties in history implemented the policy of equalizing land or controlling part of the land and population in their early stages, including the Ming Dynasty!

The purpose of the Weisuo system established in the early Ming Dynasty was to place a large number of people and land under the direct control of the imperial court, and to designate it for military purposes!

Therefore, in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army was quite guaranteed, and the Ming army veterans of that generation who fought all over the world must have a very strong desire for land.

No one can have too much land, especially the farming people.

However, due to the conservative foreign policy implemented by Zhu Yuanzhang, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army in the early Ming Dynasty could not be transformed into new territories or new vassal states surnamed Zhu.

Of course, due to various limitations of the ruling group itself, the land and population that it can directly and effectively control are always limited.

If this limit is exceeded, then the centralized empire must introduce more elements of feudalism.

However, Wang Zhongxiao currently only controls the three counties of Xiangshan, Xinhui, and Xinning. There are currently no problems that he cannot control.

According to rough statistics, the total number of registered households in the three counties is only tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. Before the coastal relocation, the number of fertile farmland registered in the policy was only one million and several hundred thousand acres, and the average household was only thirty or forty acres.

This number is completely within the control of the military and political group pulled together by Wang Zhongxiao!

The troops that hundreds of thousands of people can provide and the food that can be provided by one million acres of fertile land (including a large amount of high-quality irrigated land) are very important for the Tiandihui to fight for the dominance of Guangdong and Guangxi, and must be firmly established.

master!

Therefore, "bully landlords" like the Huang family in Xinhui must not be let go!

Only by defeating "Huang Batian" and "Huang Bapi" of Xinhui could Wang Zhongxiao intimidate other large landowners in Xiangshan, Xinning, and Xinhui and force them to accept the "land exchange and equalization of land" plan proposed by the Tiandihui.

The so-called "exchange of land to equalize farmland" is actually similar to the "relocation of mausoleums" in the Han Dynasty!

That is to say, you will directly move the biggest bully landlords in each county and uproot them! Not only will the people be driven away, but the land will also be replaced by you!

However, Wang Zhongxiao does not have a "mausoleum" yet, so he plans to use the land in the expanded "Macao Commercial City directly under the Guangdong Customs Road" plus the land in the Xiangdao Commercial City that has not yet been "recovered" to replace the bully landlords.

Our fertile land.

One to one is impossible, it can only be twenty to one or ten to one. If Huang Bully is willing to take the entrance to Macao, it will be twenty to one. He can take some land on both sides of the Haojiang River (part of the land on the west bank of the Haojiang River)

It has also been classified as a commercial market). Build a pier and maybe a casino or something.

If Huang Bully is willing to wait and get a Hong Kong account after Hong Kong Island is recovered in the future, maybe he can give him a ten-to-one replacement ratio.

In the future, the descendants of Huang Bully can live in Central and collect rent, and they will be treated like a view of the sea in the middle of the mountain, but the prerequisite is that Huang Bully's family can seize the land.

Of course, if Huang Bully is willing to wait a few more years, maybe he can be given a piece of land on Temasek Island - I wonder if the Dutch are willing to exchange this piece of land for a small concession in the Macau Commercial City?

Although the benefits that Wang Zhongxiao offered for exchange were actually sufficient - it was not that he was embarrassed to rob openly, but he also needed to concentrate capital in Haao, Xiangdao, and Wangjiapo in order to promote the development of capitalism!

However, those who benefit now cannot see it!

They will only see Wang Zhongxiao snatching their interests and land, just like killing his parents! The bully landlords in the Qing Dynasty were all filial sons!

So this struggle is inevitable!

"Huang Lao Hanlin? When did he become a Hanlin? I don't remember that there was a bachelor named Huang in the Hanlin Academy or a trial or trial bachelor." When Wang Zhongxiao heard the words "Huang Lao Hanlin", he felt a little confused.

I'm confused. Is there such a person? I've never heard of anyone named Huang in the Hanlin Academy.

Zhou Chang said with a smile: "Oh, he has been an editor of the Hanlin Academy, and also served as a bachelor for a while, and his knowledge is very good."

"Direct bachelor's degree? Is there a direct bachelor's degree from the Hanlin Academy in this dynasty?"

"There are no Zhixueshi in this dynasty. Huang Lao Hanlin was the editor of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhixueshi was a thief. Therefore, he also has a not-so-nice nickname in Beijing's official circles, called 'The Thief Hanlin'."

"It turns out he is Li Zicheng's Hanlin!" Wang Zhongxiao's face darkened, "We have to check carefully to see if he is Li Zicheng's party member! By the way, is he registered now?"

"He is here, he is here," Zhou Chang said, "He is staying at home and observing filial piety!"

"Keep filial piety." Wang Zhongxiao thought for a while, "Then does he have any excuse?"

"Yes!" Zhou Chang said with a smile, "The son of this thief Hanlin is called Huang Zhisheng. He was a Jinshi in the third year of Kangxi's reign. It seems that he became the magistrate of Lizhou last year."

"Lizhou? Two days ago, it seemed that my father-in-law, Wu Guogui, had defeated him?" What Wang Zhongxiao said was from the Di newspaper - Guangdong was very nervous about the war situation in Huguang, so Wu Sangui captured Huguang.

Later, together with Sun Yanling, Zu Zeqing, Wu Sanwei and Ao Bai, he besieged Guangdong. Therefore, all news about Huguang was spread everywhere in the official circles.

"That Huang Zhisheng must have become a second minister!" Zhou Chang said, "This Huang Zhisheng's father and grandfather were both retainers in three dynasties. They defected to Li Chuang and then to the Qing Dynasty. Moreover, his grandfather, who was Huang Wanlin's filial piety,

I once recognized Wei Zhongxian as my godfather."

"Oh, he is still a descendant of Eunuch Wei. It seems that Huang Zhisheng must have become the second minister!"

"The principal is wise!" Zhou Chang said, "We might as well use this matter to attack!"

"Okay!" Wang Zhongxiao said with a smile, "Pei Gong, I will take care of this evil guy! When we get to the place, we will send troops to arrest him. First we will label him as a rebel, and then we will pack up the people of the Huang family and send them to Xiang Island and hand them over to He Tianran.

Just give them a few thousand acres of land in Xiangdao."

Wang Zhongxiao did not go to Xinhui empty-handed this time. Instead, he led a battalion of the Jingwu Hall Military Standards composed of the elite of the Guangdong New Army. A total of 500 elite soldiers from Shaanxi and Gansu followed and started to take action.

There will be no mercy.

In addition, Wu Sanwei and He Tianran have now taken over Xin'an'an County!

And their armies are actually the armed forces of the Tiandihui. The generals, deputy generals, staff generals, guerrillas, commanders, guards, generals, generals and other officers are all disciples of the Tiandihui.

And Xin'an County is of course also a base controlled by the Tiandihui.

Compared with Xiangshan, Xinning, and Xinhui counties, Xin'an has suffered much greater damage from coastal relocation. Except for a small population in the county seat, there is almost no population elsewhere. The population on Xiangdao is even smaller and there is a lot of land.

It can be distributed, so Wang Zhongxiao plans to send the most stubborn landowners in Xiangshan, Xinning, and Xinhui counties to Xiangdao.

After all, Wang Zhongxiao's plan could not keep up with the changes in things, because the old man Huang Wanlin he wanted to arrest was not in Xinhui at all, but was in Lizhou with his son Huang Zhisheng, and was now fighting against landlords!

However, the father and son have not thought about retribution yet.

"Huang, both you and Dad will suffer retribution!"

"Huang, you are a slave with the third surname. You will die a good death!"

"Huang, you just took three thousand taels from us and said you would resist the thieves, but now you have taken the lead in following the thieves, and you want to help the thieves divide my family's land. Aren't you, your family, also a big landowner in Guangdong?"

At this time, Huang Zhisheng was fighting landlords in Hekou City outside Lizhou City!

Hekou City is also a commercial city. It is right on the bank of the Lijiang River. If the rice produced on both sides of the Lijiang River is to be sold out, it will first be shipped to Hekou City. Therefore, many large landowners on both sides of the Lijiang River will build big houses in Hekou City.

Son, I can live there on weekdays. It’s convenient for eating, drinking and having fun. It’s also relatively close when I want to go back to my hometown to show off.

It's a pity that the good days of these local tyrants and evil gentry are now over!

Early this morning, Huang Zhisheng led a hundred fierce-looking "little camp soldiers" - the second generation of the old camp soldiers. They did not have the combat experience of their fathers, but they were more ferocious than their parents!

They are the "poor second generation" who almost have everything. Now that they have a chance to make a comeback, they have to work harder?

So as soon as they arrived, they immediately arrested people according to the list, and captured dozens of "bully landlords" at once. They were all taken to an inspection office and handed over to Huang Zhisheng.

Huang Zhisheng glanced at these people with some sympathy - there was nothing he could do!

Now that he has "surrendered by mistake", he can only act as an aid to the tiger, and his path will end in darkness.

At this time, many villagers had gathered outside the inspection office, all coming to watch the excitement. Of course, these local tyrants and evil gentry who were arrested were all ruthless and evil-doing masters. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to accumulate a lot of money in the troubled times between the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

So much wealth!

In fact, these landowners can mobilize rural bravery! The reason why they are being arrested now is that they did not expect that Wu Sangui with "thick eyebrows and big eyes" would really divide the land equally. This Wu Sangui has the entire land of Sichuan, which is not enough

Divide? Go to Hunan to divide what land?

"According to the decree of the King of the West, the wealthy households in Lizhou were moved to Chongqing to settle down!" Huang Zhisheng gritted his teeth with a straight face and began to "pretend to pass the decree".

Wu Sangui had never issued such a decree at all. This was all a dirty trick devised by Li Zicheng!

How much did Li Zicheng hate Wu Sangui? If Wu Sangui hadn't opened Shanhaiguan to bring in Qing soldiers, he would still be the emperor now!

Therefore, Li Zicheng would not hold back on the issue of Yin Wu Sangui, so he sent a false edict - to move the wealthy households from Huguang to Chongqing to settle down!
