Really want to kill half of the people?actually not.Not long after Zhang Juzheng was buried, Bailang ordered Dongchang and Jinyiwei to start clearing the fields outside the capital. "No matter who owns the fields, including Huangzhuang, they will all be counted! I want to see who dares to take my money!" Of course, Bai Lang knew that the eunuchs in charge of Huangzhuang were trying to get money, and the money would definitely be better than sending it to him. much more.

Moreover, the civil and military officials, especially the honorable ones, are definitely annexing fields everywhere in the suburbs of Beijing and even in Hebei.And Bailang just draws circles on the map, but if the numbers reported by the eunuch in charge of Qingtian and the Jinyiwei newspaper are not correct with the numbers circled by him on the map, he will immediately send out a third batch to count them. A team all beheaded.

This kind of behavior can be called cruel, but he is a slave of the emperor's family. Besides, he seems to be hostile to civil officials all the time. It seems that he should applaud?It still can't be called, because the blood is really flowing like a river, and the emperor is still sitting at the Meridian Gate to watch it calmly.These two great Ming emperors made the civil servants and generals tremble with fright
While clearing the fields in Hebei, Bailang drove the three major battalions, and directly asked the admirals and eunuchs to order soldiers. The emperor sat on the soldiers counting platform, clasped his belt with both hands, and wore full military uniform.At this time, the three major battalions were not so bad. Anyway, the Mongols had killed near BJ before, and Zhang Juzheng had seriously rectified the three major battalions in the past ten years. The battalion takes turns stationing at Xuanda. Then, I will repeat the plan."

After Bai Lang finished speaking, he returned to the palace, and the courtiers in the Xiyuan immediately quarreled, and almost all the civil servants opposed the re-entry.Bailang sat behind the curtain and listened to their words in silence. The next moment he sent out an order, "Chase the house!"

It turned out that the airs of Hebei and Qingtian in the suburbs of Beijing came out the day before yesterday, and Dongchang secretly reported it to Wanli/Bailang, so today he took the opportunity to explode.The princes and lords who occupy a large area of ​​fertile land in Hebei and the suburbs of Beijing have previously told them to hand over all the land—the ownership will not be changed, but all have to pay fucking taxes, and they have to do hard labor and can also hand over their money. The most important thing is that the land rent is fixed, and the land tax is paid among the income of these dukes.

These people pretended to be dead, so Bailang ordered the house to be ransacked.The emperor had beheaded hundreds of people at the Meridian Gate before. Although they were all from Dongchang and Jinyiwei, it was enough to prove that he was a cruel and merciless person, especially not afraid of seeing blood and iron.And what is Xungui?Do these people have soldiers and power?They're all just grass dogs.So Bailang came to watch Jin Yiwei's ransacking of the house in person, and all the titles were cut off, but he was fine.

Bailang is a benevolent monarch, but he deposed them as common people, and didn't kill any of them - he just ordered Shuntian Mansion to sue those nobles and deal with them fairly.He even planned to confiscate the houses of these people and leave a few outer houses for them to live in, and what was more kind was that he actually left about 3000 taels of silver for their family to live on.All others were confiscated, including various land deeds, from fields to shops in the capital.

All the shops are sold to the public, and the title deeds are ruthless and directly allocated to the tenant farmers who are farming on the field, making them self-cultivating farmers.Even the civil servants were hit by this blow. Many of them came from Hebei, and of course they were local tyrants.Bai Langming sent a metaphor, "From now on, the land will be cleared, and the officials and gentry will pay food and errands together, and there will be no preferential treatment. Anyone who violates it will be regarded as a rebellion, barbarian!"

At the same time, the emperor calculated on the whole map of the emperor's empire, counted all the plains as acres of fields, counted them into each county, and directly issued a monetary and food quota for each county-not high, but all must be collected.The table salt is all owned by the government, the official set the market price and the retail price in various places, and the merchants earn the freight for them - and the merchants who transport the salt are tax-free.As for the perennial difficulty of confiscating money and food—in Jiangnan, Bailang is going to launch a major cancellation case, and when the time comes, all the merits of Jiangnan scholars will be cancelled, and they are not afraid that they will not accept it.

The focus of the crackdown was on the local traditional families of officials and gentry, such as the family of Jinshi from generation to generation. The first one to be severely cracked down was the Xu family in Songjiang Mansion - who made Bailang have a deep impression of them.

Sure enough, the Bailang decree went on, not to mention that the local government was obedient and violative, just the memorials of the officials above the temple and other officials were very annoying-in a word, your majesty's will violates the ancestral system and is harmful to the country. Caregivers are not benevolent.These officials knelt outside the door, as if they were in a grand ceremony.Bailang also came to the Forbidden City on a rare occasion, and after leaving the door, he looked at the officials and said a word, the voice was not very loud, but it was directly heard by the people present, this is a supreme skill.

"The ancestors are not good enough!" He said this sentence, "Times have changed. In the past, the Taizu had few talents available in the world, so they gave preferential treatment to the supporters. Today, such preferential treatment has become a cancer, of course it must be cut. Ru When you can retreat, don't threaten the widows with this." The more than a hundred officials refused to leave, and some of them even read aloud the memorials they wrote, and some of them called Bailang a fatuous and tyrant.

"Forget it, seek benevolence and benevolence. Come on, you guys are here to let people beat their court sticks, and beat them hard. Mmm." Bailang looked at the officials below, recalled the names of these people, and pointed his fingers After ordering a few, "Pull these few away and drive them back, and let the rest go away after half of the stick is killed." Bai Lang ordered the little eunuch behind him to move a chair, and sat here to watch the group spanking.

"Bring some snacks and tea." Bailang ordered, the little eunuch and maid who brought the snacks and tea had trembling hands, "You are really useless servants, that's all, if you are afraid, hide behind the door and don't look at it." The big Han generals filed in , the admiral of Dongchang is Zhang Cheng at this time, and he wanted to speak to the emperor, but Wanli/Bailang squinted him, his whole body was so cold that he didn't dare to say a word.

The bottom has already started to have their pants pulled down and spanked. Bailang watched with his own eyes, and these big generals didn't dare to play tricks.In fact, Bailang didn't care at all about their strength but their strength and cleverness. Anyway, if they fought all the way, they would kill people with their strength and cleverness.Today, Bailang came to Liwei, and several elders had rushed to Bailang to intercede. "It doesn't matter. After killing half of them, I will let the other half go. Where is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials? You can discuss who will fill these vacant official positions."

Bailang glanced at the old official, "There are still many Hebei officials who are close to the people, who dare to obey others? Let's just kill them." By the way, he called Zhang Cheng from Dongchang, "These people below have all ransacked their homes. The living and widows are kind and will not degrade them. If you are an official, just ransack your house. Remember to copy the money according to the official rank I gave you, and send all the money you copied to the warehouse of the household department. Send someone to take Jin Yiwei to Hebei to inspect the stalls and enter the mu. Local tyrants who dare to resist bribery will kill their fathers."
