The war against Xi Ming is being planned in an orderly manner. Most of the garrison troops from all walks of life are gathering in Hubei and Guangxi provinces. It seems that Li Laiheng has modified his policy and changed his past strategy of using the northwest garrison as the main force to pacify Shu. Instead, he chose his own
The indirect route of Chu and Gui's advance.
New clouds of war are quietly gathering, but for most areas in the pass, a stable and peaceful season has arrived.
The officials and garrisons appointed by Dashun have taken over most of the territory of the Ming Dynasty. An orderly transformation of camps is also being implemented. However, due to the limit on the number of township officials, Li Laiheng has already taken over the newly acquired land.
Let go of Qingtian's restraint.
The destruction of the camp ban began with the camp envoys.
Since the second year of Guangzhong's reign, the DPRK-Chinese Capital Field Division has successively uncovered many cases of embezzlement of land by village envoys.
Although at the beginning of Li Laiheng's customization, he set up a power structure of village envoys, promotion officials, thief catching envoys, village chiefs and other township officials to restrain and supervise. However, with the expansion of the village system in a wider area, the embezzlement and corruption of the envoys became more and more difficult.
It is difficult to completely stop it.
Even though Dashun had severe punishment laws to restrict Zhuang envoys, those who violated excessive prohibitions were usually punished with the death penalty. However, since the system itself concealed the privileges of Zhuang envoys to embezzle land, the effect of administrative punishment was limited.
What's more, the camp system requires huge administrative resources. In the past, Dashun could only support Hubei and Henan, but now it has expanded to more than ten times the area, and the administrative resources are simply not enough.
The ban on Qingtian was bound to be put on the agenda, but Li Laiheng's idea of ​​restricting mergers by large landowners remained unchanged.
At the same time as the ban on "chi" farming, the farmland must also be cleared - and in the process of clearing the land, Dashun adopted a rather tilted attitude, acquiescing to the legality of the private occupation of abandoned land by poor tenant farmers during the troubled times of the late Ming Dynasty. In fact,
It also produces the effect of equalizing the fields.
In addition, a portion of the camp land that was originally managed by the Camp Land Division was also awarded to tenant farmers for farming. As for the original landowners who originally owned this part of the land, their land interest income was directly exchanged by Li Laiheng for illusory workshop equity.
There were not a few dissatisfied gentry among them, but they did not dare to resist in the face of the powerful force of Dashun Army. After all, Sun Kewang was far away in Sichuan, and the small court of the Zheng family who retreated to Guangdong and Fujian also lacked the strength for the Northern Expedition.
After the Qing army experienced the Battle of Jiashen, not only was its brutality completely exposed, but its own strength was also so weak that it could not contain the Dashun Army at all.
Under the strong pressure of the garrison of various ministries, Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, and the newly established Huaihai Province, with Xuzhou as the provincial capital and the merger of the original Henan East Part, Wanbei Part, and Jiangbei Part, all completed camps.
The process of transformation from tenant farmers to owner-cultivators.
There were not a few rebellions by the gentry, but there was not even a single rebellion that shook the grassroots political rule of Dashun.
The invasion of the Qing army in the Battle of Jiashen has greatly damaged the power of the gentry in North China. They were torn between the Qing and the Shun. After long consideration, they could only accept that their land was taken away by tenant farmers, and they only received some worthless land.
The reality of workshop equity.
After all, this is nothing compared to the disaster of being trampled on one's dignity, having all his property taken away, and even his family being completely destroyed under the order to shave his head.
Even many gentry children have begun to place their hopes on entering the Dashun court through imperial examinations, rural administration schools, and martial arts lecture halls, becoming part of the system, and then trying to regain their family's property.
Scholars from the south took boats to go north one after another. Since the Jin Kingdom was destroyed by the Mongols, the Daliang Canal, which had been empty for hundreds of years, became prosperous again.
Scholars from all over the world rushed to Bianliang, and the splendor of Tokyo was as bright as before.
The reconstruction projects of Chang'an Prefecture in Xingjing and Beiping Prefecture in Beijing have also begun. In the early days of the Dashun Kingdom, due to its strong national power, strict rule and clean politics, even though wars continued and huge civil engineering projects were built one after another, the gentry in various places still had a lot of trouble.
A deep impression of the rule of light was left among the people.
Although most officials knew that the real power of the Shun Dynasty had long been in the hands of the Supervisory State, ordinary people still only built a memorial tablet for Emperor Guangzhong Li Guo.
The memory of the emperor Kuanhe's rule has become an important thread in the subsequent four hundred years of Dashun compared with the magnificent and fierce fifty years of the Shizu Chaotianfa era.
If Taizu Taizong had not died early, would the Dashun Dynasty have embarked on a different path?
This is destined to become one of the sources of creative themes for many novelists in later generations.
The lamentations and regrets of history finally stopped on December 3, the second year of Guangzhong's reign.
Emperor Taizong Shun, Emperor Li Guo of Guangzhong, passed away after a long illness.
Since the war against Xi Ming was still brewing, many important ministers and generals stayed on the front line and did not go to Taiyuan or Kaifeng to participate in the national mourning.
Li Laiheng and Empress Dowager Gao quietly closed the palace in Taiyuan and escorted Li Guo's coffin to Tianbao Mansion. This set another unspoken rule for the Dashun Dynasty:
All subsequent emperors, including Shizu, were buried in the imperial mausoleum on Pagoda Mountain in Yan'an.
Before Li's death, he requested not to build a special mountain mausoleum for himself, but to share the mountain with Taizu Li Zicheng and just build a separate mausoleum.
Later, except for Xiaozong, who violated the wishes of his ancestors and built a new mountain tomb for Li Laiheng in order to show his orthodox status, in the 400 years of Dashun, all emperors except the last emperor who died in Luojing, the New World, and the people's federal public trial
Except for the master who was later executed, all of them rested at the foot of the Pagoda Mountain in Yan'an.
Half of Li's life was spent supporting Li Laiheng. He spent too little time living for himself, and spent more time living for Li Zicheng and paving the way for Li Laiheng.
Li Zicheng even left behind a daughter, Princess Huirou, but in the last days of his life, Li Guo failed to leave his own bloodline in this world.
Li Laiheng once hinted that Fang Yiren had written several times and organized officials to persuade Li Guo to accept a concubine. However, Li Guo knew that this was a way to cause chaos. Taizu only left one daughter, paving the way for long-term stability after the third generation of the Dashun Dynasty.
Li Guo is a person who takes the overall situation into consideration. He is not willing to leave any hidden dangers for the future of Shun Dynasty for his own selfish interests.
When he was dying, Li Guo called Li Laiheng to the imperial bedside. He held Li Laiheng's hand and said:
"I want to go back to Shangluo to have a look...back to Shangluo Mountain."
Before Li Laiheng could say anything, the important ministers who were waiting for him all knelt together and cried and remonstrated.
Li Laiheng was a little embarrassed. He knew that Li Guo's body could not support another long journey, but he did not want to refuse any of his father's wishes before his death.
Li Guo looked at Li Laiheng's dilemma and was very moved. He asked Li Laiheng to remember:
"Xuanlang is the orphan left by Shuangxi. You should treat him kindly and don't let people think that our Li family doesn't know how to be tolerant!"
