There are many unruly people in Suzhou Prefecture, which used to be a headache for the two county magistrates and the prefect of Suzhou. However, when Bailang arrived, none of these unruly people were seen. They were so well-behaved that the officials from the Ministry of Revenue began to check the accounts, but Bailang was
The accumulated arrears will be forgiven, but the land tax after the settlement will not be reduced by a penny or a grain of grain unless it is a disaster year.
All the acres under the protection of the juren have to pay taxes. Why is the exemption of scholars from service and the tax exemption for the juren an ancestral system? Bailang is the ancestor, and Bailang is the sky of the Ming Dynasty. When the Jin Yiwei really started to take action, there were really stupid juren and retirees.
The official family jumped out.
This group of people directly wrote a letter saying that Emperor Wanli had been deceived by treacherous ministers and wanted to encourage tenant farmers and idle people to cause trouble. However, they could not incite a few people. When Bai Lang saw this, he just threw the letter into the flames, "If you don't have a clear head, then you won't be able to do anything."
If necessary, come and kill them and ransack their homes." Because these people were not clear-headed, Bai Lang only ordered the Jin Yiwei to smash their heads with golden melons in the end.
The family was confiscated and the fields were divided, and the land registers were handed over to the two counties. From now on, they will be collected according to this, only more is allowed and no less is allowed. The business tax is only collected in one amount - Bailang also only collects a fixed tax from the merchants.
.The fixed tax is levied according to the proportion. Bailang knows very well that it should be difficult to collect the circulation tax now, or that too many tax collectors will be a problem.
Then just charge a sitting tax.
There are not many people in Suzhou who have been deprived of their titles. The people of Wu are extremely cunning. They immediately cooperated when they saw someone who stood up and was killed. Bailang did not change the ownership of their fields, but just let them evade taxes.
The land obediently pays taxes. Given the choice between paying taxes and killing the whole family, these people decisively chose to pay taxes.
Because the emperor Jie and Zhou in front of him really knows how to kill the whole family, and it seems that this emperor can probably do it, too, and he has first-class military force and army at his disposal, and he is also familiar with the ancestral legal system.
There is no sense of awe - the emperor only has himself in his heart, and the Ming Dynasty is put behind him. If he does not respect heaven and his ancestors, what else can he do besides being honest and obedient?
Raise an army to rebel? Then the nine tribes will really be killed. I am afraid that no one in the Ming Dynasty is confident that they can defeat the emperor on the battlefield who built many Beijings outside the pass - no one in the Han family built one for many years.
Jing Guan? Even Taizu, such a cruel king, is not so exaggerated. It is better to cooperate.
Songjiang Prefecture is similar, and Bailang led his troops directly to Shanghai County. "From now on, Songjiang Prefecture will be renamed Shanghai Prefecture. Here I will ask Nanzhili and the capital to send people to build houses - the Ming Dynasty's Nan Shipyard will
It's here." Bailang wants to build more than just a shipyard, he wants to build an entire coal-iron complex.
There are coal and iron in South Zhili, which are transported here by water to build machines, and this place will also open a customs and serve as an export center. Songjiang Prefecture is one of the world's largest trading docks, and it is also one of the richest places in the Ming Dynasty. Bailang
They can detect the delays and confrontations in the secret, which are all weak nails. Jinyiwei and Dongchang also collected a lot of intelligence after copying the Nanjing garrison eunuchs and many nobles.
"It turns out it's these families. Alas, God is not kind to people. We could have slowly screened and convinced them, but now we can only eliminate them all at once. Remember to use the knife faster and don't let them suffer." Bai Lang motioned to Jin Yiwei and Dong.
The factory boss was ready to move, and he also mobilized his soldiers and horses - since he had to do it thoroughly, none of the seven aunts and eight aunts could escape, and the nine tribes were the least.
It is not necessary to kill the nine tribes, but the main line must be killed, and the side lines can be used. The information here involves many people in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian in the future, including officials, so soldiers went out to follow the Jinyi Guards to take people, and
Bailang held three thousand fine cavalry in his hands, ready to suppress them at any time.
If this group of people dares to call for rebellion - this is possible. They have a lot of guardsmen and hired workers, and there are also many desperadoes in the sailors. If they really want to rebel, it will be when Bai Lang leads his army.
"I thought they still had some brains, but I didn't expect that people died for money and birds died for food." Within a few days, Bai Lang heard the news of the rebellion in Zhejiang and Fujian. At that moment, Bai Lang was also overjoyed, "Otherwise, it would not be enough to eliminate evil."
." Immediately, he ordered a thousand cavalry and pulled up some boats of the Jiangnan Navy and set off.
Long live the body, Bai Lang was the first to break into the formation and shouted his name, then wielded the pumpkin hammer to break through the chaotic enemy formation on the opposite side - there were no serious rebels, even if they were composed of desperadoes, they were just a ragtag group. Bai Lang rode a war horse,
What he is holding is a long-handled pumpkin with a hammer head the size of a small melon on top. This thing is easy to use. It spins and dances under the power of the white waves, and just smashes it head-on and face-first.
A thousand cavalrymen can defeat the rebels in front with a single charge. Even if they are all desperadoes, the mob can't stop them at all. Even if the stubborn resisters try their best, they can't stop the cavalrymen's bows and arrows. What's more, they still have three-eyed guns in their hands. Bailang
They even asked the ship to bring field artillery. The six-pound field artillery, pulled by two horses, could be easily moved even on the roads south of the Yangtze River.
The advanced artillery mount allows it to be put into position in a very short time, and then the artillery launches the artillery shells step by step on the opposite side. With buckets, braziers, wet wool brushes, and hooks, the trained artillery crew can
One artillery shell was fired in two minutes - this speed can only be said to be average, definitely not up to the level of the Civil War, and probably still far behind Napoleon.
However, this kind of firepower projection is already very terrifying to the mob, and the six-pounder cannon is like a thunderbolt to them. Bailang brought four field guns, which usually destroyed the opponent after firing one round. At most, Bailang brought
When the cavalry attacked, the other side also dispersed, and few could hold on. Not even a single shot of the shotshells Bailang brought this time was used - considering the maintenance of the gun barrel, these projectiles were packed in a tin can.
This bunch of losers never managed to reach the distance of firing shotguns. Bailang led the cavalry and artillerymen to maneuver on boats. They fought more than ten battles in eight days. Each time, they easily defeated the opponent and then harvested their heads. A large number of people knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
, and Bailang usually beheaded all the officers among them, and those "gentry" who joined also mercilessly ransacked the homes of the Yi tribe.
He has nothing to do about the ships on the sea now. If those people escape from Bailang by boat, there is really nothing they can do - as long as they are willing to give up their fields, homes and houses on the mainland as well as the gold and silver that they have no time to take away.
