Chapter 195 Ignore the laws of the court and punish all the officials!

After hearing Zhang Gui say this, Tianqi frowned and said, "You are right! But in general, it is still the trouble caused to me by the gentry in the world. The people have already become dry grass and dry firewood, and are thinking of using the new policy to prevent these dry grass and dry firewood from burning, and can restore vitality. But these gentry are good, for their own benefit, they have made the internal people's livelihood so bad!"

As he said that, Tianqi looked at everyone: "Tell me, what should we do with these so many rebels and the peasant soldiers developed by Xia Yunyi?"

Zhu Guozhen said at this time: "The peasant soldiers and the so-called rebels must be distinguished. The peasant soldiers are the strong rural soldiers and civilians organized by Xia Zhongcheng. Participating in suppressing rebellions is naturally to do things for the court. The court should reward them and commend their merits. However, the rebels did not receive permission from the court. They plundered the gentry on the grounds of suppressing rebellions for the court, robbed the rich and helped the poor, and were not subject to the government's control. They were no different from the bandits. They should be disbanded, otherwise they would be suppressed and wiped out by large soldiers."

"But essentially, these rebels were devoted to the court, but they could not bear the tyranny of the rebels and raised anger. The court could not ignore their lives or death. If they were only disbanded, they would be disheartened and would completely transform into bandits."

Zhang Gui said at this time, "In terms of his opinion, it is better to ask for his opinion first. Those who are willing to return to their hometown to work as farmers can divide Tian Qingzhang, the executed gentry, with them and re-entered the household."

"Those who are unwilling or who cannot get the land distribution for the time being will simply be assigned to local township soldiers, and the local officials will be commanded by the local officials to do some labor services on behalf of the people. In this way, the people will no longer be requisitioned for service, and the corvee silver will be used to support these township soldiers."

"As for the leaders of the rebel army, or those who are capable, they can follow their wishes and be selected into the military school for training, or be appointed as military officers. The same is true for peasants and soldiers."

"Will this cause the bad things of the Song Dynasty, leading to too many redundant soldiers and making the national treasury more expensive?"

Bi Ziyan asked at this time.

Zhu Guozhen also said, "Yes, I originally expected that after the reform of the royal family system, the national treasury expenditure would be reduced a lot to benefit the people's livelihood. But now if the bad things of redundant soldiers suddenly appear, wouldn't the royal family system be changed in vain?"

"Otherwise, I wouldn't it be possible to kill all the peasants and soldiers who were not assigned to the fields?"

Zhang Gui asked.

At this time, after hearing this, Xie Sheng, the Minister of Rites, complained: "It's not impossible."

But he didn't say it.

The other ministers did not say it.

But many ministers began to have this idea in their minds at this time.

After all, in this era, massacre of the people is not too serious.

You know, the Ming Dynasty once slaughtered its own ace army in order to save money.

With the emperor's acquiesce, the main force of the Qi family army was directly lured and massacred by the then Minister of War and the Northern Army officers and generals. The reason was that the Qi family army paid too much and was too expensive.

"Your Majesty, the court has the responsibility to support its people. Since the court's expenses will inevitably increase, we can only find a way to open source."

Seeing that the ministers followed him were silent, Zhang Gui continued to speak at this moment.

Apocalypse asked: "How to open source?"

Zhang Gui said: "Or continue to lose the excess and make up for the deficiency."

The court officials couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The new policy has already allowed officials and gentry to pay food together. What else should we do? Don't we kill the people or gentry?

"Or, it will damage the Gentiles and make up for the shortcomings."

"As far as I know, there are many fertile fertile fields overseas, which can completely increase the court's land tax."

Zhang Gui said.

"My uncle said this seriously. Do the Gentiles have many fertile land?"

Without thinking, Zhu Guozhen paid attention to the damage to the Gentiles to make up for shortcomings.

Zhang Gui nodded and said, "Yes, there are not only many, but even more than the total fertile land in his country."

"Even if there are so many, there must be fertile land and there must be plunderers. How can we seize other people's property without mercy?"

Xie Sheng said at this time.

Zhang Gui said: "It is also unkind to kill the people of your country! Moreover, if you do not do this, you can only continue to lose the excess and make up for the shortcomings. It may not be enough for officials and gentry to pay the food as a whole. You have to pay heavy taxes to those who are rich!"

Zhu Guozhen thought about it at this time and said to Tianqi: "Your Majesty, in my foolish opinion, seizing foreign barbarians may not be considered unkind. If you have not obeyed the king's transformation, you will raise troops to attack him, so that you will turn to the king and no longer be a territorial man! How can you be considered unkind if you obeyed the king's transformation? Only those who obeyed the king's transformation would raise troops to attack him, so that you will be considered unkind. What is those who obeyed the king's transformation? Naturally, you will be those who accept the king's transformation and pay taxes to serve."

Compared to cutting off his own gentry and killing his own people, Zhu Guozhen finally had to choose to recommend that the Apocalypse target the open source targets.

"Your Majesty! I believe that what Mr. Zhu said is a noble opinion!"

"Your Majesty is the lord of the world, and foreigners must obey the kingdom, accept your Majesty's rule, and pay taxes and serve!"

"Instead of killing 100,000 rebels and 120,000 peasant soldiers, it is better to let them go out and open a border guard instead of the laws of nature and human nature!"

"Even if Your Majesty does not believe what I say, there are countless fertile land overseas, at least letting them go outside to fend for themselves is better than staying in the country and being killed by the government army or being hungry and cold."

Zhang Gui continued to speak at this time.

Apocalypse nodded: "There is no better choice than this! That's all."

"I first issue an order to let Lu Xiangsheng use these rebel soldiers who are unwilling to return to their hometowns as farmers, and temporarily organize them into farmers' soldiers, just like Xia Yunyi's farmers, as a guarantee for the implementation of the new local policies. Then, most of the peasant soldiers must be selected from these peasant soldiers as soon as possible, so that they can go overseas, whether they can open borders or collect taxes, in short, let them go out and not stay in the country, and increase hidden dangers."

Apocalypse said at this time.

"Your Majesty! What if these people counterattack the court?"

Xie Sheng asked at this time.

After hearing this, Tianqi looked at him and said nothing.

"Your Majesty must think about it carefully!"

Xie Sheng reminded again.

"Once they gradually gain power outside, the court can send officials and soldiers to divide and govern them. If they really want to counterattack the court, or even collude with foreign barbarians to counterattack the court, the court can naturally destroy them with justification. But no matter what, they cannot kill their own country and their people in vain! Otherwise, it will cause people's hearts to be dispersed."

Zhang Gui said at this time and said, "Your Majesty, I think that those who eat profits cannot underestimate the power of the common people, and will never be able to, otherwise they will be retaliated against by the common people!"

Tianqi nodded and said, "This time I have indeed seen the effect of the common people being used by you and Xia Yunyi, which has made my personal expedition smoothly. How dare I underestimate it!"

As he said that, Tianqi stood up and said, "Zhang Gui, the left governor of the Central Army Governor's Office, listened to the order."

"I'm here!"

Zhang Gui replied.

Tianqi said: "I ordered Ji to supervise the reorganization of the peasant soldiers and soldiers as the imperial envoy. He led Sun Yingyuan's troops in Xishan camp to go to Shaanxi and Shanxi first, and selected brave soldiers from all over the country who had been recruited as peasant soldiers, and organized them into several camps. He ordered them to be the Hu Ben Army. He followed my orders and expanded the border and conquered the barbarians!"

"Abide by the order!"

Apocalypse replied.

Next, Zhang Gui prepared to take Sun Yingyuan, Mao Yujian and others north to Shaanxi.

Before leaving the city, Zhang Gui called Mao Yujian to his house, handed him a letter of official letter to Mao Yujian, and instructed: "You go to see Li Zicheng with this letter of official letter of marquis, and find a way to persuade him to go to Shandong."

"yes!"

Mao Yujian agreed and asked again: "What does the uncle mean?"

"You are now from my West Factory. You should understand that the people in Qufu City are already in our way!"

Zhang Gui said with a serious expression and said, "As long as you do this, you will not worry about not having any chance to be the Prime Minister and the Nine Ministers in the future."

Mao Yujian was a civil servant without a bottom line. He dared to sell anything for his personal fame, including the Confucius family in Qufu, and he was smart himself, so he quickly understood what Zhang Gui meant and immediately agreed.

Zhang Gui knew that Mao Yujian had no moral integrity, but in his opinion, if he wanted to deal with a family like the Kong family in Qufu in the future, he had to use a person with no moral integrity to deal with it.

"Please don't worry, uncle!"

Mao Yujian agreed and left Weihui City first.

Zhang Gui came back with Sun Yingyuan's army to Shaanxi.

...

"Are they here?"

And when Zhang Gui rushed to Shaanxi.

Yulin Guard on this day.

Yansui Governor Zhang Yuhong was standing on the acropolis, looking at the rebels who had come to Yulin Guard, and asking Hong Chengchou, the governor of grain and political affairs in Shaanxi.

Hong Chengchou nodded and said, "Here is here! It is Wang Zuogui and Miao Meibu."

Zhang Yuhong smiled coldly: "It's good that you come! The court wants to solve internal troubles by tapping the border, but it is destined to be unable to achieve it!"

"What the Chief Secretary said is that once these rebels die today, other rebels will become rebels! At that time, the court will definitely have to suppress them. How dare you use them?"

Hong Chengchou agreed.

At this time.

The rebel army entered the Yulin Wei Wengcheng, and the leader Wang Zuogui shouted to Hong Chengchou: "Hong Chanzheng, we are here, why haven't you opened the main city yet! Let's go in and get the food!"

It turned out that this group of rebels captured Yuhe Fort, which surrendered to the rebels, had eaten up all the food in the city after being stationed for many days. When Hong Chengchou discussed with Yansui Governor Zhang Yuhong, he asked them to come to Yulinwei for food on the grounds that they were all righteous people and could not refuse relief. Therefore, Wang Zuogui and Miao Mei brought their rebels to Yulinwei with them.

But after Wang Zuogui and other rebels arrived, they found that Yulin Guard had only opened a urn city, but not the main city.

But not long after Wang Zuogui shouted, the urn outside was closed.

Wang Zuogui was shocked when he saw this.

Miao Mei couldn't help but be surprised and said, "We have been trapped, they are going to kill us!"

At this time, a large number of firearms had indeed appeared in the city, and the dense muskets had already lit up.

At that time, Hong Chengchou had already shouted: "You are rebels and troublemakers! You dare to use the excuse of suppressing rebellion to kill officials and gentry, slaughter good people, ignore the laws of the court, and be punished according to the crime!"

As he said that, Hong Chengchou waved his hand: "Kill!"
