I am the king of the dead

Chapter 386

How much resistance is there to splitting Nanzhili?
It's not that Zhu Qiyu didn't think about it, even before leaving Beijing, he prepared more gentle means.

There are more than 600 million households in Nanzhili, with a population of about 3000 million men, women and children. The population of Nanzhili accounts for nearly [-]% of the total population of Ming Dynasty.

In the second year of Jingtai, Fujian, Gyeonggi, and Kyushu outside Shanwai were exempted from the second tax due to military disasters and resumed the levy. The north and south were taxed in summer and autumn.

Southern Zhili paid a total of 720 shi, and the rest was converted into more than 820 taels of silver, which was 70 times that of Zhejiang.

However, the total amount of received Zhengfu in Shanxi in Beiya is only 280 million shi, and that in Gyeonggi is only more than 190 million shi.

Nanzhili's Nafu accounted for [-]% of the national Nafu.

There were 940 candidates in the first division of the Ming Dynasty, and 350 in Nanzhili.

There were 300 Jinshi students in the first department of Ming Dynasty and 92 students in South Zhili.

How long did it take for the Qing court to split up Nanzhili?

A total of 110 five years.

Since the second year of Shunzhi, Dorgon, the regent, looked at the huge Nanzhili, and everyone was dumbfounded. Daming was wrapped in such a large factor of civil strife, so he walked for 270 years?

And when there was only one head left, in the Battle of Songjin, the rising Qing court was almost dragged to death.

Daming's blood tank is really too thick.

Dorgon established Nanzhili as Jiangnan Province in the second year of Shunzhi, and when he started to split it, he set up Jiangzuo Jiangyou as a political envoy. In March, Nanzhili was completely demolished, but it was only split into two provinces, Anhui and Jiangsu.

Zhu Qiyu dismantled Fengyang Province, Suzhou Province, Yingtian Mansion, and Songjiang Mansion in one step, and directly wanted to dismantle Nanzhili. How much resistance should there be?

But is it okay not to dismantle it?

Zhu Di wanted to dismantle it. If counting from Zhu Di, it took about 300 years to dismantle Nanzhili.

Either move south, or the capital is in Shuntian Mansion, so it has to be demolished.

Chen Yi took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, I have a book to play."

Chen Yi took out a thick memorial book and handed it to Xiao Huangmen, Xiaohuangmen handed it to Xing'an, and Xing'an passed it on to His Majesty.

Zhu Qiyu took the memorial book, which is extremely long, with the names of nearly [-] local officials, the students of the Northern and Southern Imperial Colleges, the Hanlin Academy, and nearly [-]% of the Beijing officials.

Half of the ministers turned to Tianque, and asked the emperor to withdraw the decision to split Nanzhili.

The reasons are very sufficient, and a summary is made from the aspects of humanities, geography, education, official administration, financial affairs, historical evolution and so on.

Oppose the split of Nanzhili.

Zhu Qiyu took a deep breath and said: "The old debts and other things mentioned in the memorial, I have ordered to avoid them."

benefit.

Zhu Qiyu gave it a favor.

Your Majesty, who only has one wick in the lamp in Tai'an Palace, has benefited.

As a matter of fact, Daming's mu tax and official tax were all in arrears, and this kind of arrears, every time the emperor ascended the throne, the world would not be exempted from the official tax.

Zhu Qiyu split Nanzhili, so all the previous arrears of Nanzhili were canceled, which is the benefit Zhu Qiyu gave.

Chen Yi bowed three times and kowtowed five times, and took off his official hat, girdle seal, seal ribbon, fish amulet, and wat board one by one, and put them on the ground, refusing to raise his head for a long time.

"I'm quite relieved, at least you, your objection was not brought up when I was in Nanya, but after I returned to Beijing, I still have a submissive heart." Zhu Qiyu took a deep breath, and first spoke to appease these officials.

The joint opposition of these people waited until Zhu Qiyu returned to Beijing, and waited until Zhu Qiyu sat back on the throne again.

Rather than tossing around, such as King Xiang of Gonghuo Jianguo.

At least Chen Yi and his group's objections were well-understood and did not go beyond the threshold.

Chen Yi, when Zhang Qiu was controlling the waters, his legs were full of leeches, and he didn't know it. Killing local tyrants for rent chasing was like killing a chicken. He was sitting on the head of the common people;
In the Hetao area, Chen Yi and Xu Youzhen built Jingtai'an Minqu, wearing coir raincoats and straw sandals, digging their feet to control the water, and sweeping the ground gracefully.

But Zhu Qiyu didn't think that Chen Yi was an unreliable person.

Chen Yi and Xu Youzhen's gentleness is the most benevolent, they know what they want, and they are also people who have settled themselves well.

He knew how to deal with the emperor. It was Chen Yi who was the first to say in Yanxing Tower, boasting that he had gone to heaven, but Chen Yi had never given such a memorial.

Chen Yi made a mistake and was punished. He received a medal for meritorious service and went to Hetao to control the flood.

In short, Chen Yi is a pretty good courtier of the Ming Dynasty.

Chen Yi bowed his head and yelled loudly: "Your Majesty, Nanzhili is the land of the great Ming Longxing. At that time, even Zhang Shicheng, who was dominant in southern Jiangsu, did not know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth. He competed with Taizu Gao Emperor for the king of Wu, and Gao Emperor also established the capital. Responding to the sky is the land of the destiny."

"Dividing Nanzhili into four, wouldn't it mean that the land of Longxing in the Ming Dynasty is divided into four, and Jiunai is divided into four? It may lead to the disaster of subjugation."

"The north is poor, with very little taxation. Relying on the Grand Canal to go northward with grain from the south, there are countless people."

"Masters from the Southern Yamen, more than half of them, heard the news and were all anxious and terrified. His Majesty is not in the capital, and the ministers and others are terrified, like a dog in mourning."

Zhu Qiyu took a look at Hu Min and showed a helpless smile. Hu Min wanted to separate them, he had a good idea, and he was doing it, and it was also effective.

But there are some things that cannot be solved by dividing and melting.

Hu Wei bowed his head helplessly, it wasn't because he was incompetent.

In fact, Zhu Qiyu had already anticipated this result during the previous discussion.

Such a big matter cannot be resolved by other means, and he still has to end it himself.

"Chen Zongxian, the rebel army is entrenched in Nanzhili this time." Zhu Qiyu threw out another reason of his own.

This reason is very good. They are all against each other. As the emperor, Zhu Qiyu wants to do something, shouldn't he?
Chen Yi knelt on the ground and continued to speak loudly: "Your Majesty."

"The country is confused, and the actions are immoral, but dare to offend the lord's face, speak out of the lord's fault, do not refuse to punish him, die in national security, and do not regret what he has done, such a direct minister."

"Wisdom is enough to cover up wrongs, debate is enough to speak, and rhetoric is enough to make an article. Those who are separated from flesh and blood relatives on the inside, and jealous on the outside, mess up the court. Those who are like this are also slanderous officials."

"The traitor is rebellious, the national traitor has been punished, even at the time of the rebellion, I have seen Wei Guogong Xu Chengzong, Ning Yuan Bo Renli, loyal to His Majesty, loyal to Ming Dynasty, and never made any hypocrisy against the national traitor."

"Moreover, Jiang Wan, Marquis of Dingxi, personally broke through the north gate of Xuzhou to meet the king's division."

"Why does Your Majesty treat his ministers, workers, and people as enemies? The people, ministers, and people of Nanzhili are also His Majesty's people, ministers, and people."

Zhu Qiyu used the rebellion as an excuse, and Chen Yi also argued that the loyalty of the Ming Dynasty during the rebellion was the right, and he did not force his words.

The eloquent and eloquent Feng Xianyan official has already achieved his style. If Zhu Qiyu does not convince Chen Yi today, the issue of splitting Nanzhili will become a Nikkei issue.

And it is very likely to bring new court and local conflicts.

At that point, it is better not to dismantle it.

Zhu Qiyu asked seriously: "Then Mr. Chen, I'm here to ask you, have you read the third question in the annotated edition of the memorabilia between me and Li Xian? Is it the struggle between private rights and public rights?"

Chen Yi replied loudly: "Chen, I have seen it."

Zhu Qiyu asked calmly: "Thirty percent of the population, forty percent of the taxes, half of the courtiers, forty percent of the provincial examination candidates, and nearly [-] percent of the sea merchants and ships, such a huge area, entangled, and their combined forces have attracted the attention of the world and rebelled. I have been born, I have not gone south for a long time, and finally conquered the rebellion myself."

"Chen Zongxian, I'm here to ask you, what should I do if I rebel again in the future? Will I lead millions of soldiers and kill Jiangnan completely!"

Chen Yi raised his head and asked in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, how can you betray the Ming Dynasty in the land where the Ming Dynasty prospers?"

"It's a rebellious minister holding an axe in his hand, and he has to submit to his lustful power, but wherever His Majesty's army goes, they eat pots of pulp to welcome the king's teacher. Doesn't this justify, does my Ming Dynasty have people's support?"

"Da Ming doesn't have the possibility of these people's rebellion succeeding, Your Majesty!"

Chen Yi's words are the same as Yu Qian's words at the beginning. Except for the people fighting for their lives and the princes fighting for the way, there is indeed no stage for merchants to rebel.

Facts have also proved that their rebellion, apart from the timing being right, not even Sun Jizong's father, Sun Zhong, wanted to rebel.

Hearing what Chen Yi said, Zhu Qiyu finally showed a smile, and Chen Yi fell into his logic.

When the ruler and his ministers are right, the ruler is the most powerful one, sitting on a three-foot-high platform, while the minister kneels on the ground.

But as long as the emperor is not a fool, he will always hold the initiative of discourse.

It's not that Zhu Qiyu is so eloquent, but that he is the representative of the imperial power sitting there. Chen Yi opposes the emperor's order in the rules of courtiers, after all, it is difficult to reach the sky.

He continued to ask: "Then my Ming court's guidelines, such as Douhu, balance, seal, benevolence and righteousness, cannot pass through the Nanya. Does Chen Zongxian mean that if you don't raise an army, it is not considered a rebellion?"

"I dare not. The heart of not being a minister is also treason, treason, and great treason!" Chen Yi was terrified, and hurriedly said.

"Chen Zongxian, do you know what I experienced in Nanya?" Zhu Qiyu continued to ask.

Chen Yi thought about it seriously and said, "I know part of it, but I don't know the details."

Yu Qian stood up and told everything about Nan Ya, except for Chen Wanniang, and even the matter of Ran Siniang sending a letter from Bozhou to Nan Ya.

"Before the first Meixiang Tower, His Majesty first persuaded in Yanyun Tower, then Zhang Huangbang persuaded, and then went to Meixiang Tower to personally persuade, and had no choice but to raise troops."

"The second time, His Majesty repeatedly announced, and even told those people, how to deal with them, but he will not die until the Yellow River, and will not cry when he sees the coffin."

"Benevolence is exhausted."

Yu Qian's speech was very long, and it took nearly half an hour to explain clearly everything about His Majesty in Nanya.

What Zhu Qiyu sent back to Beiya was not much, only Li Xianliu asked, splitting up Nanya, etc. In fact, the courtiers only knew what happened, but they didn't know why it happened.

For example, why Chen Yi said, why does His Majesty regard ministers, workers and people as enemies, is based on this speech.

In fact, in the eyes of the courtiers, His Majesty is just going to suppress the rebellion, arrest people, put coal, kill a group, make a fortune, kill a group, make another fortune, force a group to death, and make another fortune. Pen.

The Jiangnan gentry, merchants, and potential are going to be tossed enough.

It's not so much a counter-insurgency, it's more like a robbery!
What exactly is the emperor doing and why did he do that? The courtiers went to inquire, didn't they want to know how many bowls of rice the emperor had eaten?
Even Zhu Zhanqian didn't know very well, but only knew that some of His Majesty had suffered a lot of grievances in Nanya.

It wasn't until Yu Qian explained the key points clearly that all the courtiers in Fengtian Hall were ashamed.

"Your Majesty, I have no intention of disobedience!" Chen Yi knocked heavily on the ground.

In fact, he took off all the crowns and belts, and he was ready to be beheaded by His Majesty who was enraged today.

He can die as a straight minister, but he cannot accept the ending of a rebellious minister.

Chen Yi was already cursing in his heart!

What a bunch of donkeys!
Your Majesty has already arrived in Nanjing City, and you want to let Your Majesty taste the power?And His Majesty broke his own words?

Your Majesty is a clear card!
"Have I ever regarded my ministers and workers as enemies?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

Chen Yi said loudly: "Never! Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous!"

"Then when I split up Nanzhili, did Mr. Chen have any objections?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.

Chen Yi still said loudly: "Your Majesty, you can take it slowly."

"The minister thought that the chief secretary could be divided into left and right first, and still managed by the six yamen in Nanjing, and then he would plan to split it up in the future. Such a direct split will make the world's scholars panic."

Chen Yi's idea is actually quite good, just to persuade His Majesty to take a slower pace.

That's what Zhu Qiyu planned before leaving Beijing.

First set up the left and right chief ministers, and then cut the flesh with blunt knives, using the emperor Taizu's art of war to cut every inch, like cutting sausages, little by little, and finally cut Nanzhili into the shape Zhu Qiyu wants now.

But after arriving in Nanjing, things happened little by little, and Zhu Qiyu's inner thoughts changed little by little.

Zhu Qiyu thought for a long time and said: "How about this, Chen Zongxian replaces Jiangnan governor Li Xian, and goes to Yingtianfu to take care of things for a few days?"

"Huh?" Chen Yi was stunned.

Zhu Qiyu said very confidently: "Chen Zongxian is also from Jiangnan, so he knows more about the customs there, right? For a change, try Li Xian's difficulties."

Li Xian worked in Nanya Puppet Dynasty for less than eight months, and he forced Li Xian to ask fourteen questions. When Zhu Qiyu answered his six questions, he had to introduce the concept of surplus value to explain it. clear.

You must know that there are still eight questions from Li Xian, waiting for Zhu Qiyu to answer them!

Zhu Qiyu had no choice but to slip away.

If the eight questions are answered, he will have to explain to Li Xian why the Great Emperor didn't lead the world's ministers and workers to realize Internaxionel and completely eliminate Zhanpao.

Being able to force Li Xian to such an extent shows how precarious the situation in Nanzhili is.

Chen Yi thought about it seriously, and just about to answer, Chen Yi was about to agree to go to Nanya for a try.

Isn't it just a Nan Ya?Li Xian can do it, why can't Chen Yi do it!
He is a native of Zhili, what trouble can happen!
If it can be done well, His Majesty will be able to withdraw the order of direct splitting, and if it is done slowly, there will be many opportunities, such as setting the capital of Suzhou Province in Suzhou instead of Xuzhou.

Just as he was about to answer, a small yellow door hurried in from outside the hall, holding a memorial with a gold plaque in his hand, and rushed into Fengtian Hall.

When Xiao Huangmen entered, he fell and rolled, then stood up immediately, and handed the memorial to the eunuch under the platform.

All the ministers looked at this scene, what happened so urgently that made the internal officials so panicked?
　The author's words: People from the local scrolls to the imperial court are basically not bad. For example, Ni Yuanlu, the household secretary in the 16th year of Chongzhen, was from Zhejiang. The ancestors of the Ming Dynasty taught that scholars in Nanzhili and Zhejiang were not allowed to enter the household. The Ministry is to prevent them from profiting for their hometown.When Ni Yuanlu became the Minister of the Household Department in the 16th year of Chongzhen, the world had lost a lot, but Ni Yuanlu began to try to use sea transportation instead of water transportation to speed up the entry of southern grain into Beijing to quell the disaster.And please order to repair the Nanya Palace in case of accidents.He was the only one who dared to talk about the southward relocation when the wind and rain were turbulent in the last years of the Ming Dynasty.In the end, Ni Yuanlu also hanged herself with Emperor Chongzhen.In fact, I want to say that even in the late Ming Dynasty, there were loyal ministers, but after all, it was not written in the late Ming Dynasty, so I didn't expand on it in detail.Reading the history of Nanming is a headache. The people in the court of Nanming are even more outrageous than the Nanya government in this book.
