Chapter 49: Suppressing and stroking, Chongzhen takes action

"Control strength?"

"Implement it to the point?"

Seeing Yang He sending someone to submit the memorial to the capital, Emperor Chongzhen, who was in the East Nuan Pavilion, closed the memorial to "use both suppression and comfort".

For the current Ming Dynasty, the reason why many problems and troubles have been exposed is not that there are problems in a certain field, but that there are problems in all fields.

To put it nicely, he is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the supreme emperor in the world who holds the power of life and death!

He can indeed do it, kill whoever he wants.

With factory guards in hand, it is easy to kill a group of ambitious people.

But what after I kill it?

If you are labeled as a bad name, you will be completely out of his control.

The mouth of a civil servant in Daming can kill people.

The mouth of the Ming and Qing dynasties can kill the heart!

"What do you think about Yang He's memorial for both suppressing and pacifying?" Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wang Qia and the others and said with a calm expression.

"If you have any ideas, you can tell me what is reasonable and what is unreasonable, and then the Military Affairs Office will issue an imperial edict."

In the third year of Chongzhen, the rebellion of bandits in the Shanxi and Shaanxi areas ushered in an important turning point. If the bandits could not be curbed, Shanxi would also face a more severe threat.

"As Governor Yang mentioned in his memorial, judging from the overall situation in Shaanxi, the disaster situation in various places is severe, which has led to many victims living in vain."

Wang Qia walked forward and said seriously: "The thieves that appeared were mostly extremely cunning people, either holding innocent victims or hiding among the victims.

This has caused Shaanxi to keep pushing the destruction of things but has not seen the results it deserves.

If we continue to persist and insist on the strategy of extermination, we are afraid that Shaanxi, with increasing grain prices, will usher in more disaster victims and actively participate in the various thieves' forces.

But if both suppression and pacification are used and pacification is mainly used, this emerging contradiction can be alleviated.

If Shaanxi could adjust the largest thief forces one by one, and try to reclaim wasteland, and survive the most difficult years, perhaps the outbreak of thief troubles could be destroyed by the state."

"Wang Shufu, I don't agree with your opinion!"

Wang Zaijin walked forward and frowned and said, "As Yang He said, using the method of suppressing and pacifying, will the money allocated by the state dynasty be increased again?

It is said that the suppression and appeasement are used together, and the main focus is on recruitment and appeasement. Money is gone and the people are there. One person will live and one person will live. The thief extinguishes the people's peace will be of great benefit.

But it’s easy to say, but it’s not easy to do!”

Listening to what Wang Qia and Wang Zaijin said one after another, Emperor Chongzhen frowned slightly.

In a sense, the use of suppression and pacification mentioned by Yang He is an appeasement policy of inaction.

Yang He, the main contradiction in the outbreak of bandits, dared not touch on any of them.

A rebellion broke out in the Shanxi and Shaanxi area. After all, was it caused by the fact that the lower-class people, including the soldiers guarding border towns, had no way to survive?

Years of natural disasters have aggravated class contradictions and led to a sharp decline in the scale of self-cultivated farmers with poor risk resistance.

The large amount of land under his rule was annexed by powerful gentry, landlords and other classes, as well as the Qin vassals, Jin vassals, Su vassals and other privileged groups in the Shanxi and Shaanxi areas.

Especially frequent natural disasters, either drought or snow disasters, or earthquakes, causing conflicts at the social level to completely erupt.

‘Eat and wear fucking, and don’t pay any food when the King of Breaking comes.’

When thinking about the complex social aspects of Shanxi and Shaanxi, Emperor Chongzhen sometimes thought that this is a fucking political slogan.

When disappointment slowly accumulates to a certain situation, even the most docile people will catch up with trouble after facing repeated desperate situations and create rebellion in the Ming Dynasty.

Looking at the people quarreling in front of him, Emperor Chongzhen frowned and said, "Enough, I'm asking you to come here to discuss whether this policy is feasible.

I didn't ask you to complain in front of me."

“…”

The noisy Donghun Pavilion became quiet at this time. Wang Qia, Wang Zaijin, Zhou Yanru and other military ministers stood silently.

The matter of suppressing rebellions and building enemy forces is enough to cause trouble for the State Administration of China.

Now that there is an extra rebel thief to suppress the rebellion, it will undoubtedly be a worse problem for the dynasty's finances.

"I thought about it and wanted to give it permission to use Yang He's suppression and appeasement."

Emperor Chongzhen pondered for a moment and said, "But there are several aspects that must be adjusted accordingly. The Military Affairs Office will take a note.

First, the state dynasty cannot bear all relief for this requisition. Officials and gentry in Shanxi and Shaanxi, and even the vassals, have to spend money and food to solve the general requisition.

This is the most suitable one, led by Yang He.

Moreover, all the money and grain consumed are not allowed to be distributed to prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Shanxi and Shaanxi in the name of levy. If this happens, they will be dismissed from office and investigated, and arrested and returned to the capital for trial!

The supervision privileges of this matter were handed over to the military department to the front command of the ex-military thieves to suppress the rebellion. Once discovered, they could make arbitrary decisions and condemn the Yongwei Battalion to be arrested.

Secondly, in the crackdown on Shanxi and Shaanxi and raising grain prices, Hong Chengchou was promoted to the governor of Shaanxi, Chen Qiyu was promoted to the governor of Yansui, and also ordered the governor of Shanxi and others to supervise the matter.

Third, the salt administration is allowed to be liberalized, and the Military Affairs Department will send thieves to quell the rebellion and issue them, and use grain for salt to attract them, and the exchanged grain will be uniformly allocated by the Front Command.

Fourth, he ordered both Shanxi and Shaanxi to restore the post stations and waited for Li Banghua to go to Taiyuan to review the case and return to the court, and he would handle the reform of the post stations I had previously decided.

Fifth, in the name of the Military Affairs Office, he ordered the foreigners to issue my oral order, saying that there was no grain in Shanxi and Shaanxi, and there were Zhili, and the emperor ordered the victims to enter Zhili!"

“…”

Wang Qia, Wang Zaijin, Zhou Yanru and other military ministers, after hearing what Emperor Chongzhen said, their faces changed slightly, and they couldn't believe the decrees issued by the emperor.

Except for the fourth resumption of the post station, the remaining orders, no matter which one is, will be a big deal to be put into the court or implemented in the local area.

‘As for the mess formed in the Shanxi and Shaanxi area at this stage, it is simply an unsolvable existence without distinguishing Yang He’s power, without attacking gentry, landlord, or even vassals.’

Looking at everyone's reaction, Emperor Chongzhen looked cold and said secretly: "Since the original chaos, there is no way to solve it all at once and open up the corresponding situation."

Then mix sand.

First, calm down the overall situation, and call it Hong Chengchou and Chen Qiyu to take on important positions and divide Yang He into part of his power.
