Hangzhou Prefecture Renhe County Yamen

A middle-aged official wearing a green robe shouted at a guerrilla general: "Random, as the magistrate of Renhe County, I have the responsibility to defend the people and safeguard the people. The fish scale book is related to the secrets of the court. How can I check it out for people without authorization? If you don't train your soldiers, you will actually come to the county government to make trouble. If you believe it or not, I will report your superiors and dismiss you from your official position."

The middle-aged official was the county magistrate of Renhe County, while the guerrilla general came to clean up the land deeds, land deeds and shop contracts in various places.

Seeing the middle-aged official's attitude, he did not talk nonsense. With a light wave of his hand, two soldiers immediately kicked the middle-aged official behind the knee. Only a scream was heard, and the middle-aged official knelt on the ground with a thunderous sound.

"If you want toast, you will be punished." The guerrilla general sneered: "Mr. Lu had an order when he came. This is a military order. Those who dare to disobey will take it down immediately. Now I have tied up all the officials in the yamen. If anyone dares to resist, he will be killed without mercy!"

"Here!"

With Lu Xiangsheng's order and the 5,000 new troops rushing to various places, a massive investigation operation was launched completely.

After half a month of investigation, more than 200 officials arrested alone, five of whom were even encouraged to resist and the people and were beheaded by the New Army.

Lu Xiangsheng's actions also shocked the civil and military officials of the court, and the memorials that impeached him flew to the court like snowflakes.

However, this time Zhu Youxiao's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations. Faced with the memorial that almost drowns the court, Zhu Youxiao spoke out in the court publicly. The method of officials and gentry as one worker and paying food together is the national policy, and anyone who dares to stop this national policy is the enemy of the Ming Dynasty.

Then Yang Feng also spoke, hundreds of thousands of Jiangning troops were ready, and he only waited for His Majesty to go to Jiangnan, even if he killed Jiangnan so hard that he could flow into a river.

Zhu Youxiao and Yang Feng's statements scared a lot of people's courage. Everyone could see that the emperor was going to play the real thing this time. Many officials who took the benefits from the gentry of Jiangnan also began to hesitate, whether it was worthwhile to spend their lives for that little money.

Before Yang Feng appeared, the power of the Ming Dynasty gradually fell.

The gradually expanding civil servant group is playing more and more fun. In another historical time and space, people often explain that there are three major mystery cases: "Renyin Palace Change", "Red Wan Case" and "Case of Change of Palace".

But in Yang Feng's opinion, the Ming Dynasty's suspicion was actually more than these three. Zhengde and Tianqi were in their prime when they died, and they all drowned.

Such a ridiculous thing only happened in the Ming Dynasty. If there was no evil player from the civil servant group here, Yang Feng would dare to twist his head off as a ball.

Why is the civil service group so rampant? In fact, to put it bluntly, the emperor lost his military power.

After hundreds of years of hard work, the civil service group has firmly grasped the military power. From the military mobilization to the supplies, one by one, no matter what, it does not require the approval of the cabinet and the Ministry of War?

Logically speaking, the emperor also had the powerful army of Jingying, but after more than two hundred years of peace and the depravity of the Wuxun Group, Jingying had long become a sub-army.

To be honest, during the Apocalypse period, the emperor could directly mobilize the army without going through the cabinet. Except for the guards guarding the palace and the thousands of warrior camps, Zhu Youxiao could not mobilize any troops at all.

But now it is different. Due to Yang Feng's arrival, the rebuilt Jingying has been reborn from the ashes.

Zhu Youxiao, who has regained tens of thousands of elite troops in the Beijing camp, has also become strong. Not to mention that there are hundreds of thousands of Jiangning troops under Yang Feng's command outside, now that the king and his ministers join forces, no one is their opponent at all.

This is the worst and best time.

With the achievements of destroying the Qing Tartars and the bandits in the Pass, Zhu Youxiao's prestige rose unprecedentedly. On the contrary, due to the disaster of bandits, the strength of local gentry also dropped to the lowest point in history.

The reason why Yang Feng proposed to take action at this time is because of this reason. If the policy of officials and gentry as one is not taken advantage of this opportunity to continue to promote the policy of taking part in one's work and paying food, it will take less than twenty years for the gentry in the Ming Dynasty to be fully restored, and the difficulties in implementing the new law will increase tenfold.

With the strong push of Zhu Youxiao and Yang Feng, and the secretly fueled the eunuch group of Wei Zhongxian, the new law first opened up the situation in Zhejiang.

During this period, thousands of people were cut off by Lu Xiangsheng, so Lu Xiangsheng was also detained as a butcher of the new law. However, he did not regret this, because more than half a year after the implementation of the new law, at the end of the year, Zhejiang Province alone paid 10 million taels of tax silver to the court, shocking the entire court and leaving all those who opposed it silently.

Any words were so powerless in front of money. Zhu Youxiao, who was inspired, finally promulgated a new law to implement a joint official and gentry job and pay food in the entire Ming Dynasty.

In the first year of the following year, the entire Ming Dynasty was in chaos, and the imperial court received news from gentry everywhere opposing the new law or even confronting the new law.

This time, Zhu Youxiao was no longer ruthless and immediately ordered Duke Xin Guo Yang Feng to send troops to suppress the enemy.

Yang Feng would not be polite to these guys. After giving the order, hundreds of thousands of Jiangning troops immediately went to various places. After half a year of swords and swords, tens of thousands of heads fell to the ground. The Jiangning troops used bloody facts to tell those gentry who were usually domineering, that the days of the past that only enjoyed power but did not exhaust any obligations were gone.

Under the shock of the butcher's knife, the new law began to be implemented slowly throughout the Ming Dynasty.

In the first year alone, the tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty reached more than 21 million taels, the second year increased to 30 million taels, and in the third year it reached an unprecedented more than 45 million taels.

It can be said that the Ming Dynasty has escaped from the financial crisis and has begun to normalize.

At this time, Yang Feng also knew that it was time for him to leave. If he couldn't go, it would not be a good thing for him or Zhu Youxiao.

So he submitted his resignation to the court, declaring that he was willing to lead the Jiangning Army and the Fujian Navy to Nanyang and Ryukyu to expand territory for the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youxiao repeatedly tried to keep him, but Yang Feng still insisted on leaving and finally allowed him to let him go.

In the 13th year of the Tianqi revelation, Yang Feng led 300,000 Jiangning Army and 50,000 Fujian Navy to Nanyang and Ryukyu, and began a new round of conquests.

As for what will happen in this round of conquest, I can only meet you in the next book.
