Chapter 341 341 Got Electric Shock
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was very dark.
It turns out that the eunuchs' abuse of power in the Ming Dynasty started from here.
I hope that officials in later generations will become accustomed to this and start to flatter in a proper manner.
Such actions set an extremely bad precedent for the political situation in the Ming Dynasty.
Neither literacy nor meddling in politics could be prevented.
He finally realized that none of his descendants would be as diligent as he was day and night.
He was subdued by the Ming army led by Mu Ang, Duke of Qian, and the commanders Fang Ying and Liu Ying who were stationed in Yunnan.
Wang Ji had no choice but to sign an alliance with Si Lufa and engrave it on stone. They also erected a stone as a boundary on the east bank of the Jinsha River and swore:
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled. He was very confident in Mu Ying.
The main cause of the uprising was the excessive exploitation of tenant farmers by local landlords, who forced them to give seasonal gifts in addition to formal rent.
The people hid, the land became barren, and the court was unable to collect taxes.
Compromises were also made on mining regulations, lowering the excessively high production quotas and abolishing the death penalty for illegal miners.
He stared at the glowing magic weapon, stunned, and muttered to himself:
"how is this possible?"
After Zhu Yuanzhang sent troops to pacify Yunnan, Luchuan Yiwei Si returned to the Ming Dynasty, and its tribal leader Silunfa was ordered to serve as the envoy.
Drought hit the following year, so much so that many people in Shandong voluntarily abandoned their fields and became refugees.
The good news from the remote southwest helped to support his reputation as a "politician"!
Not only in the northwest region, but also in wealthy places like Zhejiang, a large number of registered people disappeared.
Both uprisings grew in numbers and affected larger areas than before.
He recruited 150,000 troops from Guizhou, Sichuan, Huguang and other places, and transferred supplies from half of the country.
So he kept knocking on the transparent barrier wall, trying to rush in.
How did the Ming Dynasty become so troubled?
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang was not afraid of rebellion.
The government troops at Jinchi both farmed and defended, using political means to influence the people and make them submit. "Shun De Ge Miao, there was no need to conquer, and they bowed their heads and came to be king."
The Mongolian threat remained the primary issue in the Ming Dynasty’s foreign relations!
Although Si Jifa was eventually misplaced, once Wang Ji left, the tribe again supported Ren Fa's youngest son Si Lu to cause chaos.
In Shandong and Henan, either the Yellow River or the Grand Canal burst, and many people died.
Huguang, the main grain-producing area in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, also suffered disasters for eight years out of ten and suffered local famine.
These battles consumed a large amount of funds from the imperial court, but in the end there were no significant results.
Another dam breach caused part of the Yellow River water to flow into the Woshui River, then into the Huai River and then south into the sea.
A scholar is good at fighting and can also speculate!
The leaders of the rebellion could not be caught time and time again.
Of course, the part that exceeds the standard should be put into your own pocket.
Zhu Qizhen asked the civil and military officials in the court to discuss the war in Yunnan.
But it wasn't long before Si Lunfa came into conflict with the surrounding forces.
It looked like he was punished by heaven and struck by lightning!
Even if they surrendered, Wang Zhen would not allow it, as he would exterminate their entire race and turn this place into a wasteland.
As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned even more tightly, as he had not yet figured out how to break the impasse.
Fame and fortune.
It’s these civil servants who know how to make money!
Zhu Yuanzhang was somewhat worried about the external threat to the Ming Dynasty: Mongolia.
The unrest among these people, coupled with natural disasters, suddenly broke the grassroots Lijia control he established, allowing the population to move more freely.
"Wang Buli."
He stared at Wang Buli closely.
Wherever there are rebel groups, they are there, right?
Finally, the two sides reached an agreement, which stipulated that the rulers of Luchuan would accept the protection of the Ming Dynasty from then on.
The Shan ruled Ava, the main Burmese state.
Other independent states in northern Burma included Mong Yang and Lukchuan, an area roughly equivalent to the present-day Dehong Autonomous Prefecture in southwestern Yunnan and several adjacent places.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Wang Buli's shouting, his heart sank.
Liu Qiu also analyzed the border defense situation at that time and pointed out that the Oirat would eventually become a border threat, so the focus of border defense should be placed in the northwest, dredging ditches and walls, adding and repairing castles, diligent training, and strict surveillance to prevent unexpected events.
In addition, the people's corvée labor provided the government and the imperial palace with large quantities of goods they needed.
"How could Empress Ma die young?"
Wang Buli yelled and quickly walked to the computer, pretending to force a search.
Wang Ji and others were able to gain great benefits from the war.
Let them rebel.
Control is generally exercised by local officials.
These bastards are really haunting us.
The Minister of War Wang Ji guessed Wang Zhen's intention and strongly advocated the use of military force.
He originally made his fortune by relying on a peasant uprising. How could he deal with a group of desperate people? Apart from killing the tough ones, he absorbed the rest to strengthen himself.
Zhu Qizhen's construction of the imperial palace and Wang Zhen's renovation of his house both required a large amount of manpower.
Not worth the effort.
When the last army reached the Jinsha River, they hesitated and dared not cross it.
The result of excessive demands from the government was widespread evasion of corvee labor.
The combination of various factors, including popular discontent, poverty, excessive taxation, heavy corvée requirements, and excessive exploitation of tenant farmers, left only one option.
It is really difficult for the Ming Dynasty to expand its territory, as it is easy to lose a lot of people just during the march.
The Shawan dam, where the Yellow River and the Grand Canal meet in western Shandong, broke several times in succession, and the canal lost most of its water source.
The Yellow River dam in the northeast of Kaifeng broke, and the river water flowed eastward into the Yellow Sea, not far from the present-day East China Sea.
The only option is to increase corvee labor.
In the eyes of many officials in the Ming Dynasty, the common people were not considered human beings.
Most of these people are willing to accept the imperial court's amnesty!
Silver was of course very important to the Ming government, and the mining of silver mines was controlled by the government.
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up suddenly. He wanted to listen carefully to what Wang Buli was panicking about.
If the local officials in the area had not promised to exempt the villagers from corvee labor for three years.
Misfortune never comes singly.
But it seems that not much was said by the victims.
Zhu Yuanzhang was very puzzled. There was no need to send troops to deal with the chieftains in the south and other places.
Not only that, Zhu Yuanzhang discovered that the Ming army that came to suppress the bandits were a bunch of rubbish and were defeated by the rebels one after another.
Then everything went dark, and Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon throne, panting.
The imperial court had always been very worried about the "threat" from Mongolia, a worry that was a sequelae of the Mongol conquest and Yuan Dynasty rule.
There are many internal worries.
It was mainly natural disasters and man-made disasters that made it impossible for many people to survive. The ancestral precepts that he painstakingly formulated were destroyed and were of no use!
This was what annoyed him the most.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt cold as he looked at the disasters that were happening everywhere in the Ming Dynasty.
After Jingtai suppressed the rebels, he reopened the mines. As a result, within a few years, many rebels came to the "old place" to gather and rebel.
But Zhu Yuanzhang changed his mind and realized that he could still see the future of the Ming Dynasty, and he could not utter the words to curse the injustice of God.
It is even more inappropriate to transfer the garrison commander of Gansu to the southern expedition to weaken the defense in the north.
They arbitrarily conscripted laborers to carry silk and sell it to local chieftains along the way.
During the Yuan Dynasty, a Xuanwei Office was set up in the area.
Deng Yu's death further reinforced Zhu Yuanzhang's inherent impression, and this was with the help of Wang Buli.
Because he knew clearly that once the people were no longer under the control of the government, the court would not be able to collect taxes in the long run, which would cause great unrest.
In some areas, a large number of people simply fled their homelands and became fugitives, which was the group of refugees that Zhu Yuanzhang was most unwilling to see.
During the late Yuan and early Ming periods, Luchuan consolidated its territory in northern Burma and its invasion of Yunnan was unsuccessful.
Because in addition to being familiar with the local terrain and conditions, the rebels had received military training and had control of the local arsenal.
suddenly.
Only after the explanation did Zhu Yuanzhang understand.
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed again. It was indeed easy to take someone's life in the area of Yunnan.
He organized an armed force to protect refugees from mining. As the silver output decreased, he formally rebelled and proclaimed himself king.
Compared with the eunuchs of later generations, Wang Zhen was a scholar who castrated himself into the palace and had strong political pursuits.
Luchuan (now Ruili area bordering Myanmar).
Although on the surface it was a peace talk, Si Renfa was still accumulating strength behind the scenes, and Mu Ang died of illness on the way back.
Even though they were from the south, they looked down upon scholars from Fujian and other places, not to mention "barren lands" like Yunnan.
This was true even in the rich and productive Jiangnan region and Zhejiang.
During the late Yuan Dynasty, the Shan people, who lived in western Sichuan and northern Burma, became the dominant force in the region.
"You can only cross the river when the rocks are broken and the river is dry."
At first, Nanjing required large-scale corvee labor, which made many people dissatisfied.
Even after all these years, a lot of construction is still going on there, but after the capital was moved to Beijing, large-scale construction continued as the city was transformed into the "center of the world."
Zhu Yuanzhang shouted.
As a result, Luchuan was naturally not subdued.
Even if we stationed troops there after conquering the city, many people couldn't stand the climate.
Wang Zhen was very pleased, so he dismissed the court discussion, and the Luchuan Campaign began.
From Xuzhou in the south to the Huaihe River basin and the north of the Yangtze River, there were severe floods for several consecutive years, causing great famine.
And he beat me three times!
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Wang Buli bring up the old matter again, he still felt a little worried in his heart.
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows slightly. In fact, he also discovered that the people’s demands were not too much.
How can you kill a chicken with a knife?
Sure enough, speculators are everywhere.
Moreover, once a disaster occurred, it would last for years. Severe droughts caused great plagues, resulting in a high death rate among the people. Then, there was not enough food, and the fields were barren and unproductive, which caused a great famine.
I only saw Wang Buli scratching his head with a look of sorrow on his face.
As long as the corrupt behavior and wrong decisions of officials can be eliminated, the harsh policies of the government can be eased.
Zhu Yuanzhang discovered that at this time, the northwest of the Ming Dynasty and other areas were suffering from continuous severe drought.
Judging from the battle results, Zhu Yuanzhang thought that Wang Ji was quite capable.
They demanded exorbitant production quotas and imposed the death penalty on those who stole the silver mine products.
He actually felt that this was a warning from God.
But after years of recuperation, Si Renfa, the Yiwei envoy of Luchuan, Yunnan, wanted to restore the old rule.
Under this agreement, the rule of supply once every three years is guaranteed.
This silver mine was discovered during the Yongle period, but by the Zhengtong period its output was already small.
Who would have thought that the other person would actually raise the knife and chop their necks!
How much courage do they have to resist?
