Chapter 174 Let's Revolution together! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)
"Principal, the largest landowner in Xinhui County is Huang Wanlin Huang Lao Hanlin from Huangjia Village, Etangdu. His family not only owns a lot of land in Xinhui, but also has many villages in Xinning and Xin'an counties. The total number of acres owned More than [-] mu, most of them are the largest landowners in Xiangshan, Xinning, and Xinhui counties. As long as we take down this family with thunderous means, then other landowners will not dare to resist us!"

Not long after the new official took office, Zhou Chang, the magistrate of Xinhui County, was sitting in the cabin of an official ship sailing on the Xijiang River, dutifully talking to Wang Zhongxiao about the land equalization situation in Xinhui County.

This time, Wang Zhongxiao is gathering elite soldiers and strong generals with a sledgehammer to kill chickens, and with the prestige of the Hao-Ao victory, he specializes in slaughtering the wealthy landowners in Xiangshan, Xinhui, and Xinning counties!
The reason for "killing" them is of course for the sake of revolution.

What Principal Wang is going to do now is not a rebellion, but a revolution, a land equalization revolution!
The purpose of the land equalization revolution has never been limited to the equal distribution of land so that the common people can have land to cultivate and live and work in peace.For rulers, the greatest use of the land equalization system is to compete with gentry landlords or gentry landlords for control of population and land!

In other words, the ruler must directly control part of the land and the population above it through the land equalization system!
That is to say, it is necessary to kick away the middle class such as gentry landlords and gentry landlords, and directly obtain wealth and military sources from the land and population under their control.

Under normal circumstances, the more land and population the imperial court directly controls, the stronger its financial and military strength will be.On the contrary, the financial and military strength of the imperial court will be weaker.

Many dynasties in ancient China would implement policies to suppress mergers, and the purpose was to slow down the trend of population and land being controlled by a few powerful landlords, so as to maintain the country's military and financial resources.

Many once powerful dynasties in history implemented the policy of equalizing land or controlling part of the land and population in their early stages, including Daming!
The Weisuo system established in the early Ming Dynasty was to put a large number of people and land under the direct control of the imperial court, and to use them for designated purposes—military!
Therefore, in those years in the early Ming Dynasty, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army was quite guaranteed, and the veterans of that generation of Ming army who fought all over the world must also have a strong desire for land.

No one would have too much land, especially farming peoples.

However, due to the conservative foreign policy implemented by Zhu Yuanzhang, the fighting power of the Ming army in the early Ming Dynasty could not be transformed into new territories or new Zhu vassal states.
Of course, limited by the various limitations of the ruling group itself, the land and population it can directly and effectively control are always limited.

If this limit is exceeded, then the centralized empire must introduce more elements of feudalism.
However, Wang Zhongxiao currently only controls the three counties of Xiangshan, Xinhui, and Xinning.For the time being, there are no unmanageable problems.

According to rough statistics, the total number of households in the three counties is only tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands.Before the coastal relocation, the number of fertile land registered in the policy was only one hundred thousand mu, and the average household was only thirty or forty mu.

This number can be fully grasped by the military and political group that Wang Zhongxiao pulled together!

The troops that can be provided by a population of several hundred thousand and the food that can be provided by one hundred thousand mu of fertile land (including a large amount of high-quality irrigated land) are very important for the Tiandihui to compete for the rule of Guangdong and Guangxi. master!
Therefore, "bully landlords" like the Huang family in Xinhui must not be let go!
Only by defeating Xinhui's "Huang Batian" and "Huang Papi" can Wang Zhongxiao deter the other big landlords in Xiangshan, Xinning, and Xinhui, forcing them to accept the plan of "exchanging land and equalizing land" proposed by Tiandihui.

The so-called "exchanging land and equalizing the land" is actually similar to the "moving mausoleum" of the Han Dynasty!

It is to directly remove the biggest bully landlord in each county and uproot them!Not only will the people be driven away, but the land will also be replaced for you!

However, Wang Zhongxiao does not have a "tomb" yet, so he plans to use the expanded land in the "Macau Commercial City directly under the Guangdong Customs Road" plus the land in the Xiangdao Commercial City that has not yet been "recovered" to replace the bully landlords. their fertile land.

One to one is impossible, it can only be twenty to one or ten to one. If the yellow bully is willing to get a Macau hukou, then twenty to one.You can take some land on both sides of the Haojiang River (a part of the land on the west bank of the Haojiang River has also been included in the commercial market) to build a wharf, maybe you can also set up a casino or something.
If the yellow bully is willing to wait and get a Hong Kong hukou after the recovery of Xiangdao in the future, maybe they can give a replacement ratio of ten to one.

In the future, the descendants of the yellow bully can enjoy the treatment of collecting rent in Central and watching the sea from the middle of the mountain, but the premise is that the yellow bully's family can hold these lands.

Of course, if the yellow bullies are willing to wait a few more years, maybe they can give a piece of land in Temasek Island-whether the Dutch are willing to exchange this land for a small concession in the Macau commercial city?
Although Wang Zhongxiao’s replacement benefits are actually enough—he’s not embarrassed to grab them, but he also needs to concentrate capital in Hao’ao, Xiangdao, and Wangjiapo so as to promote the development of capitalism!
However, those who are interested in the present cannot see it!

They will only see Wang Zhongxiao robbing their interests and land, just like killing their parents!The bullies and landlords in the Qing Dynasty were all dutiful sons!

So this struggle is inevitable!
"Huang Lao Hanlin? When was he in the Hanlin Academy? I don't remember that there is a bachelor named Huang in the Hanlin Academy, or a bachelor who is a trial student or a trial lecturer." When Wang Zhongxiao heard the words "Huang Lao Hanlin", he felt a little bit Confused. Is there such a person?I haven't heard that there is a surname Huang in the Imperial Academy.

Zhou Chang said with a smile: "Oh, he was an editor of the Imperial Academy, and he was also a direct bachelor for a while, which is very good."

"A direct bachelor? Is there a direct bachelor from the Imperial Academy in this dynasty?"

"There is no straight scholar in this dynasty. The editor of Huang Lao Hanlin belongs to the Ming Dynasty, and the direct scholar is a thief. That's why he still has a not-so-nice nickname in Beijing official circles, called 'Thief Hanlin'."

"It turned out to be Li Zicheng's Hanlin!" Wang Zhongxiao's face darkened, "We must check carefully to see if he is Li Zicheng's party member! By the way, is he registered now?"

"Registration, registration," Zhou Chang said, "he is staying at home and keeping a filial piety!"

"Shou Xiao." Wang Zhongxiao thought for a while, "Then does he have any excuses?"

"Yes!" Zhou Chang said with a smile, "The son of this thief Hanlin is called Huang Zhisheng. He was a Jinshi in the third year of Kangxi, and he seemed to be the magistrate of Lizhou last year."

"Lizhou? It seems that my father-in-law Wu Guogui beat him down two days ago?" What Wang Zhongxiao said was from the mansion newspaper - Guangdong is very nervous about the battle situation in Huguang, so Wu Sangui won Huguang Later, he besieged Guangdong together with Sun Yanling, Zu Zeqing, Wu Sanwei and Obai.So all Huguang news spread everywhere in the officialdom.

"That Huang Zhisheng must have become a second minister!" Zhou Changdao, "This Huang Zhisheng's father and grandfather were retainers of the three dynasties. They voted for Li Chuang and then for the Qing Dynasty. And his grandfather, who was Huang Wanlin's filial piety, He even recognized Wei Zhongxian as his grandfather."

"Oh, he is still a descendant of Eunuch Wei. It seems that Huang Zhisheng must have become a second minister!"

"Principal is wise!" Zhou Chang said, "Why don't we use this matter as a challenge!"

"Okay!" Wang Zhongxiao said with a smile, "Pei Gong, I will come to this villain! When we get to the place, we will send troops to arrest people and label them as rebels first, then pack the people from the old Huang's family to Xiangdao and hand them over to He Tianran. It’s enough for Xiangdao to give them a few thousand acres of land.”

This time, Wang Zhongxiao did not go to Xinhui empty-handed, but led a battalion of Jingwu Hall apprentices from the Guangdong New Army on the road together. A total of [-] elite soldiers from Shaanxi and Gansu followed and started to fight. There is no mercy.

In addition, now Wu Sanwei and He Tianran have taken Xin'an County!
And their armies are actually the Tiandihui's armed forces. The chief soldiers, deputy generals, generals, guerrillas, captains, guards, generals, and generals are all disciples of the Tiandihui.

And Xin'an County, of course, is also the base of the Tiandihui.

Compared with the three counties of Xiangshan, Xinning, and Xinhui, Xin'an suffered much more damage from the coastal relocation. Except for the small population in the county seat, there is almost no population in other places.The population on Xiangdao is smaller, and there is a lot of land that can be allocated, so Wang Zhongxiao plans to send the most stubborn landlords in Xiangshan, Xinning, and Xinhui counties to Xiangdao.

After all, Wang Zhongxiao's plan couldn't keep up with the changes in the situation, because the old man Huang Wanlin he wanted to arrest was not in Xinhui at all, but was in Lizhou with his son Huang Zhisheng, and he was fighting against the landlord now!
However, the father and son have not yet thought of retribution.
"The one surnamed Huang, you and your father will suffer retribution!"

"Huang, you are a family slave with three surnames. Die badly!"

"Huang, you just accepted 3000 taels from us and said you wanted to resist the bandits, but now you are taking the lead to follow the bandits and help the bandits divide my family's land. Aren't you, your, your family also a big landowner in Guangdong?"

At this time, Huang Zhisheng was fighting landlords in Hekou City outside Lizhou City!

Hekou City is also a commercial market. It is on the bank of the Lijiang River. If the rice produced on both sides of the Lijiang River is to be sold, it will first be transported to Hekou City.Therefore, many big landlords on both sides of the Lijiang River will build a big house in Hekou City. They live there on weekdays.

It's a pity that the good times of these local tyrants and evil gentry are coming to an end now!

Early this morning, Huang Zhisheng led a hundred vicious "little battalion soldiers" - the second generation of the old battalion soldiers. They had no combat experience of their parents, but they were more fierce than their parents!
They are the "poor second generation" who almost have everything. Now that they have a chance to stand up, why don't they work harder?
So as soon as they arrived, they immediately arrested people according to the list, and arrested dozens of "bully landlords", all of them were taken to a patrol office and handed over to Huang Zhisheng.

Huang Zhisheng gave these people a sympathetic look - he couldn't help it!

He has "surrendered by mistake" now, and can only work as a minion for the tiger, and his path is black.

At this time, many villagers had already gathered outside the inspection yamen, all of whom came to watch the excitement. Of course, these local tyrants and evil gentry who were arrested were all unkind and evil masters for the sake of wealth.Otherwise, it would be impossible to accumulate so much wealth in the chaotic times of the Ming and Qing Dynasties!
In fact, these landlords are all capable of mobilizing village courage!The reason why they are being arrested now is that they did not expect that Wu Sangui with "thick eyebrows and big eyes" would really want to share the land. This Wu Sangui has the entire land of Sichuan, isn't that enough?Go to Hunan to divide what?

"Following the decree of the King of the West, move the rich households in Lizhou to settle in Chongqing!" Huang Zhisheng gritted his teeth with a serious face, and began to "falsify the decree".

Wu Sangui never made such a decree at all. This is all a trick that Li Zicheng figured out!
How much does Li Zicheng hate Wu Sangui?If Wu Sangui hadn't opened the Shanhai Pass to bring Qing soldiers in, he would still be the emperor now!
Therefore, Li Zicheng would not hold back on the issue of Yin, Wu and Sangui, so he sent a false decree - to move wealthy households from Huguang to Chongqing to settle down!
Wouldn't it be easy to drive away the wealthy households in Lizhou and equalize the land?

Hey, this bad move is not freshly baked, who wouldn't know it?
As for whether the landlords in other parts of Hunan would organize the Hunan Army to fight Wu Guogui, Wu Sangui's adopted son, after learning that he was going to become a Sichuanese, Li Zicheng didn't care!
He is now thinking about setting up the Lizhou base as soon as possible, and then set up a military mansion and Jiedu envoy in Lizhou as quickly as possible. Home!), so it seems quite normal to have a combination of Juntian Fubing and Jiedushi at the local level.

Huang Zhisheng gritted his teeth, put away his worthless sympathy, and then raised his voice and said loudly to the people who watched the excitement: "The king of the West ordered that the Lizhou and Shimen Second Army Mansions be established in Lizhou to carry out the military system of the Juntian Mansion. , and then count the dictation of Tianfentian as a soldier!

Anyone who joins the government as a soldier will be given priority over his own township in granting land. The registered government soldiers will first be granted [-] mu of Dingkou farmland and [-] mu of job farmland.After serving in the military service, there is another ration, and there is no need to bring your own equipment and armor. After making meritorious service, you can not only bestow Xuntian, but also be an official!Anyone willing to join the government as a soldier? "

"Have!"

"willing."

"I would like to follow the King of the West to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty!"

Immediately, many voices gave affirmative answers. This Lizhou also sent out many Hunan troops later, and the folk customs are still quite martial!
Hanzhong Mansion, Nanzheng County, Xiwang Xingyuan.

Wu Sangui, who had just arrived in Nanzheng, did not know at this time that he had already begun to fight against the landlord class—although he was also planning to divide the land and land, he did not intend to directly divide the land owned by the owner. What he wanted to divide was Sichuan. of no man's land.

In the past few months, his second son Wu Yingqi and his concubine Wu Shicong have been discussing the establishment of the "Fentian Weisuo" in Hanzhong Mansion.

Wu Sangui was born as a general in the Ming army, so he naturally understood the pros and cons of the guard system the most.Therefore, the field system he designed according to the "Tianchao Farm System" is actually an improved version of the Weisuo system.

His Weisuo system abolished the hereditary system of guards officers, but instead changed to the method of assessment and promotion of military merit.At the same time, "equal land" is also implemented inside the guard to ensure the interests of military households. The land cannot be bought and sold, but inheritance is allowed. If the officers and soldiers of the guard have titles, they can get more land!
In fact, the Weisuo system designed by Wu Sangui is a group of feudal land military aristocrats!

Each guard has 5000 to [-] military households in the guard. If troops are sent to fight, they can form a "town" of [-] people at most. In the case of insufficient mobilization, a battalion, One standard, one association.

According to Wu Sangui's order, the 15 troops under his command will form [-] guards. Each guard will be led by a general, general or general.But Wu Yingqi and Wu Shicong's father and son each got three guards, and the two had a total of six guards, becoming Wu Sangui's second only to himself.

In addition, Wu Sangui also planned to set up six guards for Wu Yingxiong and four guards for Wu Guogui. In this way, the three sons controlled a total of sixteen guards, each responsible for one aspect.

In the future, whoever can stand out among Wu Yingqi and Wu Yingxiong depends on their abilities.

As for the two who did not stand out (including Wu Guogui), let them take their guards far away. Either go to Annan or go to North Korea. In short, just don’t kill each other.

Now, Wu Sangui himself led the newly formed eight guards to Hanzhong. After joining Wu Yingqi and Wu Shicong, there were a total of fourteen guards, and an army of nearly [-] was ready to send troops to attack the Qing Dynasty at any time.

These guards of his are all "mobile guards" that can move at any time!
However, just as Wu Sangui was about to send troops, some unexpected news came from Zhili, Huguang and Liangguang.
