Chapter 1611 The Champaign Revolution Begins
Su Yonglin attaches great importance to Xu Tong's suggestion.

He always thought that Xu Tong was one of the few senior military generals who came from the war years with real political talent and long-term vision. He was a rare genius.

He observed this phenomenon earlier than other generals in the army and even more specialized clerks and instructors in political work.

That is, the masses of the new generation are generally more intolerable to the suffering of the war period.

People are all looking for a good life, and after living a good life, they take a good life as a basis for granted, and from there, they pursue a better life.

Generations of people living in peaceful times have always been more willing to pursue a better life, the definition of happiness has been constantly upgraded, and the refusal to return to the original version, which is regarded as a complete setback and a great failure of the government, has a strong impact on it. repulsion.

This is human nature.

It was after Su Yonglin observed this that he realized that the Ming Kingdom could not maintain a state of action for a long time, or even a super-doubled state of action. It was necessary to build a normalized society of inaction, and to turn the state of action into a state of wartime. Not enabled.

The destruction of the state of war to the living conditions of the people in peacetime must be enormous and difficult to repair.

Depending on the state of war and the duration of the war, as well as the depth of the country, it is more likely that it cannot be repaired permanently, or even returns to the rationing system of living materials.

That would be horrible.

The destruction of people's hearts will be very serious, it will greatly affect the ruling foundation of the regime, and it may even cause internal turmoil. There are countless cases of fires in the backyard during the war. Now, people can't bear it.

Therefore, the active state cannot easily be enabled. Even if it is enabled, it must be a partially limited active state. If it can be maintained in the inactive state, it must be maintained as much as possible.

In other words, use force cautiously, and don't use force lightly until peace is finally desperate.

It needs to be known that the more the times develop, the more advanced the technology and the higher the knowledge level of the people, the less easily they will be dominated by the government, and the higher-level government officials will have to pay more and more high cost of action for what they want to do.

In fact, they all understand that no matter how much they verbally support the war, when the state of war comes to them, there is a high probability that they will become anti-war.

People who haven't experienced the war years can't really understand what it means to be "rather a prosperous dog than a chaotic person".

Now, relying on the superior distribution system brought about by the revolution, the Ming Dynasty can curb the people's dislike of the state of being able to a certain extent, and even make the people understand and support the state of being able to do it through propaganda, but this must not last long.

If you think that this state can last for a long time, when the next generation of people born in peacetime becomes the mainstream of society, something will happen.

After receiving Xu Tong's report, Su Yonglin was very happy, praised Xu Tong's political vision, praised his heart for the country and the people, and said that he would stay put and do his best to solve the current internal military rebellion in Dali.

On political issues, he will send people to solve them. On diplomatic issues, there will also be a professional team arriving in Dali and the Kingdom of Bagan to conduct formal exchanges, striving to connect with the Kingdom of Bagan and build a more friendly bilateral diplomatic relationship. Let’s do business together. make money.

Then it's okay to develop a revival branch by the way, right?

As for the country of Zhenla to the south, that is, the Angkor Dynasty, it really didn't really need Xu Tong's attention. Xu Tong only needed to arrange for the army to control the traffic arteries, and he didn't care about anything else.

Because the Kingdom of Zhenla is the same as the Kingdom of Ming Dynasty, the focus of attention at this moment should be on the side of the Champaign Kingdom.

Yes, the international situation is changing at an astonishing speed.

The day before Su Yonglin received the report of Xu Tong's complete victory, Zhang Yuejing, who was stationed in Guangxi Province and Annan, and Gao Tianlu, the minister of Annan, jointly sent a report, saying that some trivial things happened in Champaign, they thought. Ask Su Yonglin if she needs to intervene.

In short, the civil war in the Champaign nation broke out, and the Champaign Revolution began.

To put it plainly, the young comrades of the Champaign Revival Branch were preparing to train the new army to get rid of Zou Yana when they turned out to be a traitor.

The traitor's name is Yahai, the son of a trusted servant of Zou Yana, and a member of the military department of the Champaign Revival Association.

The reason for his betrayal is also very simple - his father has risen.

Zou Yana valued the new army very much and had high expectations for the march, so not only did she send someone to supervise the training of the new army, but she also planned to cultivate the march into her own loyal.

So he spared no effort to win over the new army officers.

Originally related to himself, he entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.

For example, Cha Quan, the leader of the new army and the branch director of the Champaign Revival Association, is his nephew. He values ​​this nephew very much, and asks this nephew to take the new army with him to become his guard army when he goes out to inspect. The right to enter and leave the palace freely.

As for those who were not directly related to themselves, they would offer various benefits to their family elders or peers with rich or high-status positions, so that they can benefit and become vested interests. He died.

Not to mention, this move was really effective at the beginning, and some members of the Champaign Revival Association branch were shaken in their minds.

They have enjoyed abundant material rations, so they think that Zou Yana is not a heinous bastard, maybe they can take a new and gentler way to solve the domestic conflicts in the Champaign.

Chaquan was firm in his will, and he criticized this gradually rising reformist idea, refuting this idea by citing Su Yonglin's theory of revolution to the end, and held several meetings to demand unification of ideas.

Of course, the results are not very good.

After all, in order to buy them off, Zou Yana took out real money.

Since ancient times, apart from religious beliefs, real money and silver can move people the most.

As a result, the idea of ​​moderate reformism gradually spread in the branch of the Champaign Renaissance. Everyone felt that Zou Yana was not so heinous, at least he treated them very well, with the highest level of military pay, the highest level of clothing, food, housing and transportation, too. fragrant.

As the saying goes, it is a bit unreasonable to take people's money and people to eliminate disasters.
Cha Quan was very worried about this.

But when she saw that the moderate reformists were about to compete with the revolutionaries, Zou Yana made a show of her own.

Seeing that the Ming kingdom's rule in the land of South Vietnam was becoming more and more stable, and the war within the Chenla kingdom was still lingering, he felt that his opportunity was about to come.

In order to prepare for the war against Chenla, Zou Yana took a fancy to the high-quality weapons of the Ming Kingdom, but the high-quality weapons of the Ming Kingdom are really not cheap. In order to buy more weapons of the Ming Kingdom, he needs to pay a high price for it.

Ming Guo didn't want to use his swindling tricks. They had to pay for the money and deliver the goods. All loans and credits were not accepted, and they had to be settled in cash.

In the final analysis, it was his feat of robbing the merchant ships of the Great Food Nation who borrowed flowers to offer Buddhas too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and everyone no longer believed him.

Zou Yana was reluctant to take out her own property, and she couldn't get money from other powerful people, so she could only pick soft persimmons and announced that she would increase taxes on domestic farmers, handicraftsmen and small businessmen.

Champaign is not a big country, with a small population. Relying on relatively favorable climatic conditions and geographical location, as well as three crops of rice a year, although the oppression and exploitation are very heavy, the common people can barely eat a full meal.

But with the tax increase, the problem changes.
