After all, as a backward and decadent feudal imperial country, the Ming Dynasty couldn't imitate rabbits and hunt down local tyrants to divide their fields, right?

There is no reason for me to cut myself!

Besides, liquidating the vested interests of the previous dynasty is obviously much simpler and requires less resistance than directly engaging in class revolution.

Therefore, liquidating the Eight Banners is actually a must-do for the Ming Dynasty!

Just like when the Manchus entered the customs, they used land enclosure orders and house occupation orders to plunder the interests of the Han people and feed the Eight Banners.

Zhu Jing'an now also needs to squeeze out the Eight Banners to satisfy the appetite of the interest groups standing around him.

This matter can only be said to be a matter of wind and water, who will be spared by heaven!

As for the gentry and landlord class, what should we do?

How should I put it, although Zhu Jing'an also wants to deal with them, now is not the time.

The reason why the Ming Dynasty can so easily conquer the world and control the political power is essentially four words: what the people want!

Then again, what is the human heart?

The heart of a gentleman is the human heart!

Besides, even if Zhu Jing'an wanted to clean up the gentry and landlord class, it would have to be after the Ming Dynasty successfully promoted the industrial revolution and the national bourgeoisie was successfully hatched.

To put it simply, Zhu Jing'an needs to cultivate a substitute who can replace the gentry class and help Ming Dynasty control the world.

Then, he will go to the gentry class to kill the donkey!

After all, as the saying goes, tearing down a mill will kill a donkey, crossing a river will tear down a bridge. If you have not finished pulling the mill, you will not have finished crossing the bridge. If you rush to do it, isn't that a mistake in your brain?

You have to do things in a clear order!

……

Out of respect for Zhu Jianzhuo, his father, Zhu Jing'an did not plan to live in the Forbidden City.

Instead, he immediately ordered people to prepare to leave for the Old Summer Palace.

Compared to the imperial city of the Forbidden City, it was obviously less taboo for him to live in the royal garden of the Old Summer Palace.

Soon, Zhu Jing'an arrived at the Old Summer Palace with his personal guards.

This is also the first time he has seen this garden known as the Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens.

The Old Summer Palace covers an area of ​​more than 350 hectares, which is about eight times the size of the Forbidden City.

It all shows that the palace buildings of the Qing Dynasty are very shabby compared with those of the Han and Tang Dynasties...

But what about the facts?

Only the Ming Dynasty is shabby.

It is true that our Qing Dynasty did not overhaul the palace, but our Qing Dynasty built the Old Summer Palace.

The cost of building one Old Summer Palace is not much less than building ten Forbidden City.

The Old Summer Palace covers a total area of ​​more than 350 hectares, of which the water surface area is about 140 hectares. The main structure consists of the Old Summer Palace, Qichun Garden and Changchun Garden.

The Old Summer Palace is the largest, so it is collectively called the Old Summer Palace (also known as the Three Old Summer Palaces).

The royal garden of the Old Summer Palace not only brought together several famous gardens in the south of the Yangtze River, but also transplanted Western garden architecture, which was a masterpiece of gardening art at that time both at home and abroad.

Construction began during the Kangxi period, and the buildings in the park are still being added to today. It took nearly a hundred years for the construction to be completed. It took a long time to take a look at the leopard, and you can see its magnificence and beauty.

There are countless treasures and antiques, famous calligraphy and paintings, ancient poems and books, national treasures and cultural relics, and precious animal and plant resources.

Before it was burned down by the British and French invaders, it was one of the largest royal gardens in the world.

Zhu Jing'an stood outside the Old Summer Palace and couldn't help being shocked by its magnificence and beauty.

It's just that such a royal garden really contains too much blood of the people.

To compare, if you build a leopard house in Zhengde, you will be scolded by the emperor, and if you build a Taoist temple in Jiajing, you will be scolded as "Jiajing, Jiajing, every family is clean." The Manchu emperor lived a much more comfortable life.

Taking a deep breath and with a somewhat complicated mood, Zhu Jing'an took the lead and entered the Old Summer Palace.

At this time, the Old Summer Palace had already been cleared, and the Manchu maids and chamberlains had been cleared out, and Ming soldiers were guarding every place.

A large number of officials and sergeants came in and out, counting the treasures and antiques in the Old Summer Palace.

Counting the value of property in the Old Summer Palace!

Of course, after the Ming army took control of the capital, they were not just focused on making money. Zhu Jing'an immediately ordered people to control the six Manchu yamen, as well as Hongwen Pavilion and other government bureaus.

Compared with the wealth in the Old Summer Palace and the Forbidden City, what Zhu Jing'an cares more about is the various books and archives in the capital. For example, important files such as the Yellow Register of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the census register, the land tax register, etc.

For example, books such as "Yongle Dadian" and "Sikuquanshu".

For a nation, knowledge is always the most precious treasure.

Compared with treasures and cultural relics, these books and archives are the things that should be protected the most.

Needless to say, "Yongle Dadian" is the most important encyclopedia in Chinese history and the most important cultural contribution made by the Ming Dynasty.

As for the "Sikuquanshu", what do you say about this thing?

Although this book is trash among trash, the original documents that were destroyed in the process of revision are the real national treasures.

Since the Ming Dynasty launched its army, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties have forgotten about the Sikuquanshu.

In other words, the Sikuquanshu of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is still under construction, and these important single documents should have only been collected and not destroyed.

If this is the case, there is still a possibility of rescue!

……

The news of the victory of the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition and the successful capture of the capital was quickly sent to Nanjing.

Along the way, wherever the Ming cavalry passed, there was joy.

Countless people are excited about this good news.

In less than ten days, the good news was sent to Nanjing.

The sentry horse reporting the victory galloped all the way into the streets of Nanjing, waving its whip and shouting loudly.

"Great victory! Great victory!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince successfully recaptured the capital and annihilated the main force of the Qing army."

"Great victory! Great victory!"

"Yong Lin, the Jiaqing Emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Fu Kang'an, the Fuyuan general, were executed in ambush, while Yong Rong, the Daoguang Emperor, and Prince Yong Yan were captured without any help."

"Great victory! Great victory!"

"Master Wang regained Beizhili and the capital..."

The fast horses galloped by, and the people on the road subconsciously avoided them for fear of being hit by the fast horses delivering military reports.

These days, the fast horse that delivers military reports has more right of way than the old man Le of later generations!

In future generations, if you are hit by Lao Tou Le, you will have no choice but to consider yourself unlucky, because Lao Tou Le cannot punish him.

But in this era, if you are hit by a fast horse delivering military reports, it is not just a matter of considering yourself unlucky.

You still have to be held accountable and labeled as a person who delayed the military plane.

Maybe the whole family would end up in exile.

As the fast horse galloped by, the people on the street couldn't help but start talking.

"What? What did he just say?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has regained the capital? A good thing, a great thing!"

"Hahahaha, this means that the Qing Dynasty will be completely destroyed..."

"God bless the Ming Dynasty, it is true that God bless the Ming Dynasty!" (End of this chapter)
