In fact, this situation of fleeing households and returning to their hometowns had already occurred during the lifetime of Emperor Yingwu. Some stubborn Wubao relied on servants, and the retainers violently restrained the fleeing households. Many of them had made meritorious service in foreign wars in the past, but this time they showed their backwardness.
.
However, during the Han Dynasty, people's customs were equal to civil and military affairs, and the concept of grudges was very strong. It was not long after the troubled times, and there were many local veterans. In addition to attending county schools, young adults also had to participate in reserve training for one year. In the first few years, it caused a fierce backlash.
There were a lot of murders, and some highly skilled rangers went to Wubao in the middle of the night and wiped out all the powerful families.
In the last years of Emperor Yingwu's reign, this incident was very serious. The governors of various regions and the state were directly responsible to the central government, and the governors also had supervisory duties. This group of representatives of the emerging interest class basically tended to flee from home and would not dare to cause bloodshed.
The wealthy and powerful families are suppressed mercilessly...
Ye Qing did not directly force the change at that time, because the economic circle was still in its infancy and the time had not yet come. He believed that once the general trend started, the torrent would destroy everything by itself. In terms of survival, never underestimate the determination of the people.
By the time of Emperor Gaozong, Huoling Steam Engine Factory gradually became popular all over the country, and public opinion expressed sympathy for slaves, subtly influencing the millennium slave system. In order to ease the sentiments of conservative landowners, the imperial court introduced a policy of redeeming escaping households. This began
Give a stick and a sweet date to let the old and new classes alternate slowly and peacefully.
The slave system quickly fell into obscurity under the emerging large-scale industrial environment in the north. In the south, a large number of newly opened plantations soon emerged, but these traditional agricultural areas still strongly resisted - this is very similar to the situation in the civil war between the north and south of the United States on Earth.
Since the south was gradually becoming the world's granary after its reclamation, stability was paramount, so Emperor Gaozong decided to take the matter after careful consideration.
His character is quite similar to that of his father, Emperor Yingwu, who is quite benevolent. In terms of internal affairs, he is quite lawful. In terms of colonization, he completely digested the grassland and Yingzhou. In terms of military, he went west to seize the mouth of the Red Sea. His achievements were enough to dominate the New Han Kingdom of Fudi when Long Yu died.
, there is no need to intensify internal strife within a generation - in the event of rebellion on the southern and East China Sea islands, although the navy can be sent to suppress it, the stain on his name of benevolence, the situation and character do not make it necessary to be radical.
But now that the new king has ascended the throne, according to tradition, he will not change his father's ways for three years. After the throne is consolidated, it is inevitable to burn three fires. After testing public opinion, he found that after sixty or seventy years of economic and public opinion paving the way, everything has been settled, so he abolished it by law.
Slavery, a short period of thunder, captured several evil families.
All of this has been praised by mainstream public opinion. Killing the chickens is to serve as a warning to monkeys. No one among the powerful people in the South dares to use violent means to detain fugitives.
Without the support of those who fled their households, many traditional powerful people could not let go of their desire for land security, so they could only sell the excess land that could not be cultivated and buy Huoling Steam Workshop. They now knew that this thing could make money.
The rise of clans that had troubled the Eastern Han and New Han dynasties for nearly three hundred years collapsed overnight... When replaced by big factory owners and big capitalists, it seemed like reincarnation, but everything was progressing and spiraling after all.
Ye Qing thought about what he saw. The sun god flew across the sky. Although he would no longer appear in front of people, seeing the prosperity and vitality of these people, as the founder of the dynasty, he couldn't help but smile and stretched out his body: "
By completely destroying these backward social sectors, the Dragon Qi may turn into a true yellow. The Qing system has already proven itself at this point, and it is just waiting for the system to collapse and finally reveal itself."
Take the #11 ball as an example. Zhu Yuanzhang's country created a yellow atmosphere. When the country was at its peak, it was red with bright yellow. However, when the emperor was under control, the population was only between lavender and lavender. However, after management, it may become purple in the middle, and due to the system
Relax and decline.
In August 16 AD (the seventh year of the Apocalypse), King Xin Zhu Youjian succeeded to the throne and became the emperor. His fortune was no more than light green, and after three years of stabilizing his power, it was no more than light green. He has remained at this level since then, and he ascended the throne.
At that time, the national dragon aura was only light red - this is the laxity of the system in the past dynasties, and it is the result of the aging of the human body.
The same is true for the Han Dynasty. It also has this aging process. When Ye Qing left, he was only lavender, but now the emperor is purple.
However, as the system relaxes and the country's vitality decreases, the emperor's color will continue to decline insignificantly every year until it changes from purple to blue, and from green to light blue.
In an agricultural empire with a population of about 100 million, once the emperor's power turns pale, it means that the real power he holds is only that of a provincial governor, or in other words, he controls only one-thirtieth of the country, so he is in danger and is on the verge of collapse.
.
As for the puppet emperor, red and yellow would be good. Speaking of Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, his reign was Xuantong. He ascended the throne less than 3 years ago. Although he had the title of emperor, his Qi was not red and yellow. After his death, he returned to the blessed land of Manchu Dragon Qi and was favored by the Qing Dynasty.
The system recognizes him as the emperor, but his energy may only be white and red, which is only equivalent to the divine power of a township-level emperor - the dignified emperor has fallen into such a state of decline.
The so-called last emperor still has purple energy, that is just talking in dreams
"My prediction is not bad. The country's destiny is now at its peak, but it has not yet reached its peak. It will take about 150 years to reach its peak."
"After the peak of prosperity, what follows must be neglect and absurdity, the system is lax, and it is difficult to continue the prosperity. From prosperity to decline, this is the way of heaven, it is a great number, and it has happened in all ages.
"But, if there are no major special circumstances, the red system may have a lifespan of 150 days, the yellow system may have a lifespan of 300, and the green system will only have a lifespan of 600 days in this case."
"And this is Tianshou. In fact, due to various reasons, it is impossible to reach it. Seven or eight achievements will be good."
"Even so, compared to other systems, my Xiatu Dynasty can digest the gold mines of Xiatu's dark side. Due to the long history of the country, the overall resources may be more than ten times greater."
Thinking of this, Ye Qing smiled: "I have more than enough resources to be promoted to a True Immortal, and I can look forward to the rest in the future."
A gust of wind passed by, and the attics, terraces, corridors, and palaces in the distance were full of light green air. With the sound of the tide that ordinary people could not hear, they became one, deep and majestic. No matter what, this is the prosperous age, and Ye Qing is here, no longer
Thoughtful, the light immediately turned to the sea in the southeast...
Heavy rain poured down, and hundreds of millions of water lines stood vertically between the thick black clouds and the sea. There was a salty wind, and the torrential waves rolled over the rocks. The huge waves surged up one after another like mountains, and were photographed again with a "boom"
.
The light flashed past, then stopped with a sudden "eh" sound, and Ye Qing looked down.
The two naval vessels broke into this deep black sea, both emitting faint mana fluctuations. They continuously scanned and detected the surrounding underwater reefs with spells, and detected each other's positions, sparking hostility from the collision.
The ship in front is marked with a dragon pattern. The three characters "Exploration·Seventeen" can be faintly seen through the rain. The surface of the ship's hull is covered with various marks of swords and arrows. The hull has a deep draft and is obviously loaded with cargo. The hard sails are on the mast.
It was tied tightly and even the crew members were tied to it to prevent it from being blown off by the strong wind.
"Don't move -" the captain personally held the rudder and tried his best to control the ship around the impression of the reef area. At this time, his face was pale and he shouted.
They originally discovered an island rich in rubber during their exploration, and were about to report the good news back to the empire. This storm directly turned the joyful return journey into hell...
No, this is near the most dangerous reef area in the South China Sea. I am afraid that there will be no underground water springs, and the only outcome will be to be swallowed by sharks and die without a burial place.
This mixed-sail warship had all its sails lowered and relied entirely on the Fire Spirit steam engine at the stern to drive the propeller. What was even worse was that the gun on one side of the hull was damaged, which diverted its power to pump water, causing the ship to fall to the extreme speed.
Now, except for the captain, the only ones who can still move steadily are Dao soldiers or magicians. Although there are only seven or eight people, it is a rare high proportion. Together with the ship protection formation, it shows that the origin of this ship is extraordinary.
"Has the level of the Imperial Navy reached this level?"
"Some aspects are beyond the level on earth."
Ye Qing thought to himself, and the ship behind, with a black prow marked with a white skull, also used a magic circle to obtain driving force. It obviously had no shortage of Taoist soldiers and magicians, and the ship's hull was intact and more flexible.
This made Ye Qing narrow his eyes.
"Pirate ship, is it of this level?"
"This is impossible"
Just then I thought about it, and when I looked at it from the perspective, I saw that the gray and black air was rising up from the black ship, spreading far away, faintly connected to an island, and penetrating into the darkness.
"Is it Japan?"
"Is there a dark side of this world?" Ye Qing's eyes turned cold, but he was not surprised. The Han unified the world, but many ethnic groups were dissatisfied and had dark side support. It was not surprising that there were some undercurrents.
By the way, there was a faint burst of laughter on the ship below, which made the sailors on the dragon ship spit fire with their eyes: "These damn pirates"
"boom--"
Huge waves hit the hull from the air, and the thin magic circle could no longer support it. It collapsed with a "poof". High waves surged onto the side of the ship, directly over the deck and down the side. Fortunately, the deck to the bilge was sealed, but the reverse flow
The water waves are pushing the ship towards the reef area.
"Looks like we have to stop here." A magician smiled bitterly behind the captain. He was not afraid of saying unlucky words and stared at the enemy ship: "But before that, we can kill the enemy first. The distance is close enough."
After a while, a bed crossbow flashing with faint light was moved out, and it was pointed in the direction in the rain. The ship's magician personally controlled the crossbow.
Four miles away, a huge crossbow bolt with a carved dragon head passed through the rain curtain, penetrating the layers of waves and rain curtain, and its momentum was like breaking bamboo. By the time it approached the enemy ship, it had weakened.
"So on land?" the pirate captain sneered.
Everyone was convinced that, four miles apart, the range of this bed crossbow arrow was simply not enough to see at sea, and it was difficult to aim.
However, not long ago, we had one large ship and three small ships. After besieging this ship, there were many crossbows on the opposite side, and three ships were lost, leaving only ourselves.
So they couldn't help but be careless. At this moment, the pirate captain secretly thought in his heart: "Now the warships of the Han Kingdom are getting more and more powerful. Even with the support of nobles, the days of robbery are getting more and more difficult..."
The pirates on the black ship were about to cheer when a wave of spiritual consciousness came across the sea. They activated it at the right time. A blood-red spiritual flame spurted out from behind the crossbow arrow and rose up. I don't know how to adjust it.
If they rush towards the middle of the ship, they will be separated by less than half a mile.
Suddenly everyone was stunned, and someone murmured: "That's... the fire dragon coming out of the water."
"How is it possible"
The pirate captain exclaimed and was the first to wake up: "Damn it, it's a battleship of the Tian family... Who told me this is an ordinary navy battleship?"
"Brother, have you forgotten? It was the Japanese who said on the black market..."
"Turn the helm quickly——"
"It's too late, the magic circle outputs"
"boom--"
The fire exploded, mushroom clouds rose into the sky, and the entire black ship turned into fragments. The sea was crowded with people and submerged in a huge wave.
Watching the sinking enemy ship that had been entangled for several days, all the sailors, Taoist soldiers and magicians laughed, and then stopped smiling. The same ruthless waves also hit them, and a black reef loomed in front of them not far away.
At this time, a sailor knelt on the deck and prayed to the Dragon Lady. The magician was startled: "Dragon controls the water... But can this be achieved by praying temporarily?"
"If you are sincere, you can do it. She is the empress of the ancestor... the Lord of the South China Sea." The captain lowered his voice and said: "Xiao Liuzi's family has enshrined her all year round. Her ancestors have been smoking cigarettes for five generations. It is not a temporary prayer... Otherwise, I will recruit
This hair hasn’t even grown enough for my nephew to board the ship?”
Everyone fell silent, the captain continued to steer the boat, and everyone else knelt down one by one and prayed to the sky.
At this time, the captain tried his best to cross the rocks in one go. The keel did not break due to the friction, and he crossed one black reef after another.
For a long time, everyone looked back at the reef area behind the ship, and they were all shocked... Did they pass through the famous dead sea area in the South China Sea like this?
At this time, a green light appeared in the water and rushed into the thick black clouds. Everyone was stunned. The most knowledgeable magician couldn't help but tremble: "This is... a real dragon."
The dragon shadow in the sky did not stop, as if it just happened to pass by and swam straight through the clouds to the northeast.
At this time, before everyone had recovered, they heard a whining sound in the wind from the mast. Soon a sailor discovered a green conch hanging on it. The beautiful lines emitted secret waves, and the whole piece
The water was calm, as if commanded by power.
"This conch... I know my grandpa has seen it before."
Xiaoliuzi's sailor's face turned red and he shouted: "It must have been the Dragon Girl just now!"
