please make me king

Chapter 1683 Determination
"Commander Shi, the world is in chaos, the world is in chaos!" An old man nearly fifty years old complained to "Commander Shi" heartbroken.

"Defu, why did you say that?" The "Commander Shi" is also 50 to [-] years old, but compared to "Defu", he looks taller and mightier.

"Although your Cangyu Garden is known as a famous garden, how many people take care of it now? Now the ruler is not the ruler, the ministers are not the ministers, the world is upside down, and the bottom is chaotic, how do you think the world will not be in chaos?" "Defu" couldn't help sneering road.

"The situation is like this, what can we do?" The "Commander Shi" couldn't help but heaved a long sigh and spread his hands.

It turned out that this "Defu" was none other than the Juren of the Peng family, a big family in Liyang.

Pan Mao of the "Nose Cutting Class" was originally his servant, and used to do some "dirty work" for him that was inconvenient to come forward.

Who would have thought that Pan Mao's power would be so difficult to control later that he would turn against his master.

Zhang Shun took the opportunity to issue the "Slave Abolition Order", which directly caused more than a thousand servants of the Peng family to disperse.

It doesn't matter if these servants leave, not only is there no one to take care of the huge Xialin Garden, but the Peng family's tea plantation, embroidery plantation and many other industries are all in a state of closure, so this Peng Defu hastily came to visit this "Commander Shi".

Of course, this "Shi Commander" is not an ordinary person, but he was born in Liyang's most famous historian, called Shi Zhijue.

This Shi Zhijue was originally a "hereditary" family of Jinyiwei, and now he is serving as the commander of Jinyiwei. He has a great influence in Liyang, and no one can match him.

"We greeted him, hello, hello, hello, everyone. But he pushed his nose and face, and actually prepared to kill us in reverse!" Peng Defu couldn't help sneering.

"Today he moves our servants, tomorrow he will move our soldiers, and the day after tomorrow he may be thinking about our property."

"At that time, I'm afraid I can only regret it, and grab my ears with my head!"

"Then...you mean..." Shi Zhijue couldn't help but ask when he heard this.

"I mean both civil and military use. On the one hand, he took the deed of selling his body to sue the county government, and on the other hand, he recruited young men to build weapons just in case!" Peng Defu couldn't help but murderously said.

"He did the first day of the junior high school, so don't blame us for the fifteenth day! Who in the world can obey this chaos?"

"At that time, the heaven and the earth will turn around, and the Ming Dynasty may not be able to perish, and the 'thieves are smooth' may not be able to prosper. I am waiting for the opportunity to further improve the family business, right in front of me!"

"Then... the magistrate Wang can face us?" Shi Zhijue hesitated.

"I heard that many servants of his family have also escaped. If they don't go to us, who can they go to?" Peng Defu laughed.

"Okay, let's do it!" Hearing this, Shi Zhijue finally made up his mind.

This Ming Dynasty belongs to the Zhu family, and it also belongs to the scholars. The country has supported scholars for 300 years, just for today!

"Liyang and Jintan turned against each other? Huizhou, Ningguo, and Chizhou also declared 'anyway'?" When the news reached Nanjing, almost half of the land in the south of the Yangtze River that had been surrendered was not owned by the rebels.

"Yes, in addition, Changzhou Jiangyin, Suzhou Taicang, Songjiang Huating and other places are also in turmoil." Wang Duo said worriedly.

"Your Highness, please take back the order in time, so as not to cause a catastrophe, and it will be too late to regret it then!"

"Oh, are there only a few places up to now?" Zhang Shun smiled instead of anger when he heard the words.

It turns out that since Zhang Shun started his army, he has fought every day, and it took only four or five years to capture most of the country.

Although on the surface it seems to be going smoothly, but in fact Zhang Shun dealt with Houjin in order to win over all the forces that could be won over, so that the fish beads under his command were mixed and uneven.

While Zhang Shun took shortcuts and used their power to destroy the two countries of Ming and Hou Jin, these various forces also used Zhang Shun to re-occupy one side to form new "mountains", hindering the new regime's succession and cooperation. profit distribution.

For example, in addition to the direct descendants who followed Zhang Shun, there are also the Yijun Department headed by Li Zicheng, the Yulin generals headed by Wang, the Liaodong generals headed by Zu Dashou, the bureaucrats of the former Ming Dynasty headed by Zhang Zhifa, Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, Wu Aheng, Wang Qiaonian worked as the governor and others.

They are loyal or treacherous, literary or martial, or respectful but dissatisfied, or hawks and wolves with ulterior motives, and so on.

If Zhang Shun is only satisfied with leading them to conquer the country, it will not only violate his own heart, but also lead to the death of his own country like the Qin and Sui Dynasties.

To use the words of the previous life, it just failed to completely liquidate the old forces, improve social relations, and fully release social conflicts.

The current state of the war is not a question of victory or defeat, but a question of how to release the original social contradictions as much as possible, let go of the old and absorb the new to build a new society.

It is true that slavery is a social issue that Zhang Shun hates very much, but for Zhang Shun, who has become a mature monarch, it is not necessary to start at this time.

The reason why he does this is nothing more than to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, to purify the team and to transform the society.

Therefore, when Zhang Shun heard that only the Jiangnan provinces surrendered and rebelled, and there was no major movement in other places, he couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

It's a bit ironic to say that, today, the most prosperous place for slavery in the world is the Jiangnan area, which is the richest in Ming Dynasty, and the other is the most bitter and cold Houjin area.

One is a place with prosperous culture and education, and the fireworks are flourishing, and the other is a bloody, cruel, remote and bitter place.

This South-North reversing the wheel of history is all about keeping slaves.

On the contrary, in the north where the damage was serious in the early Ming Dynasty and had just recovered after 300 years, slavery was relatively rare.

Even ordinary people like Zhang Shun, who have lived in Chenzhou for 20 years, have heard and seen that two or three slaves and three or five villagers are rare.

Therefore, Zhang Shun concluded that, except for the land in the south of the Yangtze River, it is estimated that few people in the north would respond to the army.

Now it seems that this is indeed the case, and Zhang Shun has temporarily stabilized his basic market.

"Your Highness, there is a man called Pan Ba ​​outside who claims to be His Highness's old friend, come to see him!" At this moment, Wukong's voice suddenly sounded outside.

"Okay, let him come in!"

"Your Highness, the Bodhisattva who saves the suffering, the living Buddha who saves the world and the people, I beg you, please save my brother and brothers!" Pan Ba ​​just walked in, and threw his head on the ground sullenly and begged without looking at anyone. .

"What's the matter, speak slowly!" Zhang Shun suddenly had some guesses in his heart, and he couldn't help but speak quickly.

"Don't slow down, slow down, you'll die if you slow down!" Pan Ba ​​said eagerly, "My brothers Pan Mao, Pan Zhen, Pan Wu, Shi Laozhu, Shi Desheng, Cao Hua and others were captured by the officers and soldiers. Beat him to death."

"Now that one of the following major crimes of treason has been committed, he will be executed in the next few days!"

"What conspiracy? I think they are tired of work!" Zhang Shun couldn't help sneering, "This king walks ahead, and they dare to do such a thing. It seems that they don't take this king seriously."

"Where is Wang Ding? You send a team of troops to Liyang and Jintan to rescue the wronged brothers!"

"Those who have committed the most heinous crimes like the historians and the Peng family who despise the king's decree, first punish the chief culprit, and then lose their family."

"The men, women, and children in the family should not move, nor should the houses or gardens be moved. Only the fields, oxen, sickles, plows and other tools should be given to the original servants for farming."

"For valuable items such as gold, silver, silk and satin at home, one-third is distributed to the original servants, one-third is distributed to our brothers, and the remaining one-third is handed over."

"The last general takes orders!" Wang Ding immediately became excited when he heard this.

As a man of general background, his vision is naturally a hundred times better than that of ordinary people.

Zhang Shun's confession seems to be words of venting anger and revenge, but in fact, if you look carefully at the context, you will know that this is an extremely clever strategy of division and disintegration.

Once the family property is stolen, the arable land will be divided. For both parties, this is an endless situation.

If these gentry heroes want to regain their family property and farmland, they must take revenge on the servants who betrayed them.

And if these slaves who have just escaped slavery want to protect their achievements, they must rely on the strength of the rebel army to fight these gentry heroes to the end.

In this way, Zhang Shun decided to follow the old wisdom of the Ming Taizu in the past and establish an institution similar to a guard in Jiangnan to ensure the control of the entire Jiangnan.

The establishment of such an institution would naturally require the support of their cronies like Jiangmen Yulin, so they would have the opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune.

In fact, just as Wang Ding expected, Zhang Shun had already planned to use Wang Ding's battalion as a basis to attract liberated servants who urgently needed military support.

Each division is expanded into one battalion, and Wang Ding's elite battalion can be expanded into five battalions.

Even in case of disharmony, he can expand to ten battalions, fifty battalions, or one hundred battalions. At worst, the south will be unified to the north, and he will repeat the steps he took to unify the world a few years ago.

Anyway, this "Abolition of Slavery Order", I have made a decision!
