Chapter 470 The Finale

The negotiations were not successful.

As Zhang Gui himself said, the conflict between the north and the south of the Ming Dynasty is now an impossible contradiction to negotiate.

Zhang Gui could only choose to support the court in the north according to his own interests.

Feng Xuexian and other landlords and gentry in the south were naturally very disappointed when they learned that Zhang Gui had not agreed to his request for peace.

Cheng Kegong directly sat on the chair and murmured: "What should I do? I thought the court had always relied on our south to supply food, and the population in our south was still larger, and the new king had little prestige ascended the throne, so he could force the court to surrender and seek justice, but in the end, he ended up being bullied by Zhang Guojiu, who was given up his power!"

"All this was caused by Zhang Guojiu. It was caused by him that he made His Majesty no longer rely on the imperial village to make profits but rely on various so-called industrial sectors to make profits."

Feng Xuexian replied, and said, "It seems that he can only suffer the people."

"How hard?"

Cheng Kegong asked.

Feng Xuexian said: "How can we still work hard? Increase taxes to raise military funds; in addition, we will continue to recruit more soldiers and bravely. In order to create hundreds of thousands more troops before the imperial army heads south, so that even if we cannot defend the two Huaihe Rivers, we can still defend Jiangnan. Even if we cannot defend, we can still have enough troops to enter Lingnan and Shu. In the end, if it really doesn't work, we should take the conquered population and wealth and learn from Mr. Zhang to go to sea!"

Cheng Kegong nodded after hearing this: "That's all!"

Therefore, the southern rebels could only continue to collect land taxes on the self-cultivated farmers in the south, and at the same time they tried their best to strengthen the men and expand their troops.

For a time, the people in the south became even more miserable. They could not move freely to the north to work, nor did they go to sea. They were also arrested and strong men were entrusted with land taxes. In addition to seeking landlords, officials and gentry to work as tenants, they could only accept more serious exploitation.

This has also caused a larger-scale civil unrest.

It also turned many people into bandits directly.

Of course, this doesn't matter to the officials and gentry in the south. They only care about their own interests and will not care about the lives and death of the people.

The court is still thriving.

Because in terms of the total population base, the population controlled by the imperial court is still not as good as that of the south.

Therefore, in order to encourage the people of the north to join the army and join the war to a greater extent, the so-called national sect policy has always been implemented well. In addition, the policies of exemption from corvee labor and self-cultivation farmers and exemption from taxes have also been implemented well.

This also made the court in the north very popular with the people. Not only did there be no civil chaos, but a large number of people also actively joined the army.

Not only a large number of people, but the newly captured southern rebels were willing to join the army and turn the guns to attack the rebels in the south.

Then, the rulers in the north, from emperors to ministers, needed to liberate the Han people and raise the status of the Han people because of their own interests, and really put the ordinary Han people in the same position as themselves.

When the emperor sent the newly trained troops to the front line, he would personally go to the soldiers to talk to him.

In addition, Sun Chuanting, the Minister of War, even ate and slept with the soldiers when inspecting the front line, and really refused the soldiers to kneel in front of him, saying that they wanted to talk about the friendship between compatriots.

It can be said that the Han society in the north has really entered a new civilization.

Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the northern army is particularly strong.

Soon, the imperial army recovered Jinan, followed by Dongchang Prefecture, and then directly arrived at the Yellow River, which captured the Huai River and entered the sea in this era.

Zuo Liangyu, the commander of the southern rebels, had to retreat all the way.

Because he had to retreat, his soldiers basically captured strong men, and they were easily dispersed as soon as they entered the battle formation. The key was that the food and grass were not good. The landlords and gentry had food to smuggle them to Zhang Gui, but they were not willing to donate enough food to the rebels on the front line. The local officials finally managed to recruit food from some honest and patient self-cultivated farmers and common landlords in the south, and basically they were drifted away by most of the rebels, so that they were basically pitiful.

The key is that Zuo Liangyu and his own officers had to resell a batch of food, which caused a group of strong men who were forced to work hard for the southern landlords and gentry to work hard for them, not only did they have to work hard for them, but also hungry for them. The key is that they were working hard for the landlords and gentry to prevent the court from liberating themselves.

In this case, it is naturally difficult for the southern rebels to have combat effectiveness.

Therefore, basically, as soon as the imperial army in the north arrived, the rebels in the south scattered, and later they did not scattered, but instead knelt on the ground and waited for being captured.

Because as the two sides fought longer and longer, the officers and soldiers of the southern rebels discovered that in order to pay attention to the feelings of Han compatriots, the court in the north specially did not kill prisoners. The key was that not only did not kill, but also did not take care of food and employment, and would also be treated and respected like a human.

This has led to many rebel soldiers becoming increasingly unaware of fighting, and even began to wish to be captured by the official army.

Of course, there is a reason for the imperial court to do this.

After all, for the court, the most lacking is labor force, especially the Han labor force. Although the captured southern rebel officers and soldiers were rebels, they were also Han people, and they were forced to betray Han people. It would be a pity to kill them, so they could only be directly absorbed to their own side.

Especially some southern rebels saw themselves being captured and lived so much like a person anyway, and then they thought that their relatives who were still in the south could live like a person. In addition, they were educated by literary and artistic works from the court and hated the landlords and gentry in the south, and their fighting will be stronger than the imperial army.

Therefore, the imperial court's rebellion can be said to be a destruction of Gula.

Not long after, the entire Nanzhili and Jiangxi were pacified, followed by Zhejiang, Huguang and other places.

Feng Xuexian and Cheng Kegong had to run west and go out directly to the sea, but were intercepted by the navy from the West Factory.

In general, the landlords in the south were indeed unable to compete with the industrialized northern courts because of their backward production relations.

Of course, the southern landlords themselves do not want to believe it. After all, they cannot be willing to be slaughtered by the court at will. Naturally, they still want to resist. Only after resisting will they realize that their class is really behind.

Of course, the southern landlords themselves were not seriously damaged. Except for a few officials who committed suicide or died in battle in chaos, most of them were still forgiven by the courts who were unwilling to cause too much killing among the Han people after being captured and surrendered. No one who could not be killed was killed.

The people who suffered in the end this rebellion were the people. Many Han people were injured and killed in the north and south, especially in the south, where many people were forced to die.

But there is nothing we can do about this. Any turmoil will inevitably add the greatest harm to the people.

Even though this rebellion was just a rebellion caused by the different positions within the carnivore.

But this rebellion also taught the landlords in the south a lot of lessons and broke their last fantasy.

Zhang Guize was also awarded the title of Prince and King Liao after resigning from his position as the admiral of the Western Factory because of his contribution to the fight against the rebellion.

However, when Zhang Gui became the Queen of Liao, he did not stop at his path of dominance at sea. He seized Honolulu, and then went to Australia to open an iron ore and occupied New Zealand. After a few years, he led a fleet to Europe, established his own colonies in Great Britain and France, and then went to America, and established a large piece of land in the American Circle as his own colony.

There is no way, Zhang Gui has more and more descendants in the future, so he can only occupy as many colonies as possible, otherwise there will be no enough dividends in the future.

Sorry, this book was not well written, and the first time I transformed into writing non-emperor texts, but I still failed.
