Chapter 1203 They Can't Succeed
Zhao Buxi thought about it for a while, and felt that what the official said was very reasonable. The new dynasty started killing people just after the establishment of the new dynasty, which was harmful to the public and was not good for the long-term rule of the Chengdu court. If the problem could be solved by Huairou, he would I feel good too.

But Wu Lin firmly opposed it.

"Without food to eat, you can wait for the imperial government to provide relief, and big households can open porridge sheds to put porridge. There are many ways to survive. However, this group of scoundrels attacked the rice shop in groups, and also destroyed the shops and looted property. It can be seen that They are not ordinary people, but outright evil people and rice thieves, and must be resolutely suppressed.

If they are not allowed to see blood, they will not know the power of the imperial court. Only when they are exposed to blood will they know the power of the imperial court. Only after the imperial court has exerted its power can they come forward to appease them. "

Zhao Buxi thought about it for a while, and felt that what Wu Lin said also made sense.

If they are recruited directly into the army without punishment, it will only make them feel that the imperial court is weak and can be bullied. If they want to do something in the future, they will just come back to the Mi riot. Where is the need for other efforts?
No, absolutely not!
After so much consideration, Zhao Buxi determined his targeted policy.

The army was dispatched to suppress and kill all the leading rice thieves, and the remaining rabble would be selected and added to the army as appropriate to expand the military.

If something like this happens again, they will all be recruited into the army and controlled, and they will be given a little food to keep them from making trouble everywhere.

Ma Yongkang did not object to Wu Lin's repression, but he was still worried.

"The Ming Kingdom and the puppet dynasty cut off our internal and external traffic and trade routes, and Shu Jin could not get it out. Those who make a living have suffered heavy losses. This incident is not what we want to see, but it is not a long-term solution after all.

The army can recruit refugees, but the number of refugees recruited by the army is limited. Shu Jin can't get it. It is difficult for our dynasty to increase military expenditures, and it is difficult for the court to spend. In the long run, the cost of raising troops is insufficient, and it cannot continue to expand the army. Waiting to be trapped in Sichuan and Shu. "

Zhao Buxi did not understand the military, but he was quite familiar with finance.

"It's just that I never expected that they would be able to cut off the business of Shu brocade, and their strength is so strong that it really makes us helpless. A large number of Shu brocades can't be accumulated in the treasury. If there is no sales, what's the point of having more Shu brocades?"

The ministers frowned and worried about the future.

In the end, it was Ma Yongkang who suggested that they could discuss with Daliguo. If possible, they could sell Shu Brocade through Daliguo's channels at a lower price. As long as they could sell it, it would be a great victory.

Zhao Buxi had no choice but to nod in agreement and let Wu Lin and Ma Yongkang act separately.

Wu Lin used military means to solve the current predicament through physical means.

Ma Yongkang went to work on the economy and made a little effort for the Chengdu court to break through the economic blockade of the Ming Dynasty.

I have to say that Wu Lin is still very powerful in the military. Although most of the troops under his command have only been trained for a few months, they are not against the rioters. Once the troops stationed in Chengdu were dispatched, the situation was quickly brought under control.

He mobilized his troops to attack towns where the riots had occurred, arrested and killed the "mobs" who participated in the riots. , Song Jun's advantages are undoubtedly revealed.

They treat the unemployed with no mercy, killing them as consumables for military training.

On the day the Mi riot was launched, Xu Tong and others left Chengdu in the chaos under the protection of Xu Wu and others, and returned to the Linjiang County base camp.

In that chaos, they were powerless.

Although Xu Tong thought that there was turmoil in Chengdu after hearing the news that some people in Chengdu died of starvation, he did not expect the turmoil to expand rapidly and quickly became worse.

In order to ensure their own safety, they left Chengdu smoothly, returned to a safe place, and then held a meeting.

At that time, according to the information collected by the Skynet Army, rice riots broke out one after another in seven or eight states and prefectures around Chengdu, with more and more participants, and many officials and grain merchants were killed by angry unemployed people. The scale of the rice riots expand rapidly.

Therefore, some people suggested that the Sichuan branch could send people to quickly enter the towns initiated by the Mi riots to organize these unemployed people, and guide them to set off a wave of resistance. The opportunity to expand the influence of the organization is just around the corner.

But Xu Tong made a speech at the meeting and expressed his views.

"The Chengdu court will soon launch a crusade against this group of unemployed people, they will fail, they will not be able to achieve their goals, and at the root of it, this is an unemployed urban industrial and commercial civilian as the main body.

The urban industrial and commercial unemployed are small in number, weak in strength, have no foundation, and have no fixed base, and once they launch an action, they will directly face the ruler's base, and face the ruler's strongest force with little buffer.

Although the Chengdu court army was not as good at fighting as the Ming army, the gap between soldiers and civilians was still very large. They did not have mature leaders, and they did not unite the self-cultivation farmers and tenants who were oppressed but who were not going to have no food right now. Groups, rely on their own to carry out rogue looting-style resistance.

Without a program, a clear long-term goal, and discipline, there can be no sustainable struggle. In contrast, the Chengdu court army has a clear goal and program, as well as strong rule and fine command. Who can Win, who will lose, at a glance. "

When Xu Tong came to this conclusion, there was no news that the Chengdu court sent troops to fight.

At that time, Mi Disturbance was constantly expanding. Even in distant places like Linjiang County, there was news of Mi Disturbance, and it was heard that some people were just around the corner.

So some people see this as a good opportunity to initiate action and overthrow the Chengdu court in one fell swoop.

They believe that the Chengdu court has just been established, its ruling power is insufficient, and its foundation is unstable. The emergence of the Mi riot will be the best time to overthrow them. Therefore, the Renaissance Society must make a shining appearance in this process and play a leading role, so as to be able to survive the chaos Then take a favorable position.

Xu Tong is right and the analysis is in place, but some comrades in the Sichuan branch still insist on their own views. They believe that the Mi riot will bury the Chengdu court, just like the Jiangnan West Road Uprising destroyed Jiangnan West Road. The same goes for government authorities.

At the beginning, there was still the Lin'an court intervening on Jiangnan West Road, mobilizing troops and horses to come to besiege, and this defeated the original insurgents, and now there is no Lin'an court to interfere in the land of Sichuan and Shu.

So this time is the time to launch a great revolution and overthrow the Chengdu court when their foothold is not stable.

However, Xu Tong, who personally participated in the whole process of the Jiangnan West Road revolution, firmly opposed this.
