After checking for a while, Liu Weichao looked at Emperor Chongzhen in the video again and said to him: "I just went through all the information about Gai Tu Gui Liu again."
"Well, tell me!" Emperor Chongzhen already knew that he was looking up information, so he had been waiting. When he heard this, he naturally wanted to hear what he had to say.
He only heard Liu Weichao say to him: "The matter of reforming the land and returning it to the local people must be done. Since it is the world of the Ming Dynasty, it must be brought under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty and cannot be special. There is no doubt about this, right?"
"Yes!" Emperor Chongzhen nodded immediately after hearing this, and nodded in response without hesitation.
This is not only a matter of taxation, money and prestige of the court, but also because in the late Ming Dynasty, there were too many chieftain rebellions.
One of the most important events was the She'an Rebellion that broke out during the Tianqi years. The reason was that the imperial court wanted to mobilize 10,000 troops from the Shui Xi'an clan to help in the war, but stopped because of fear of causing conflicts.
Leading 30,000 troops to aid the Liao Dynasty, She Chongming, the head of the She clan in Yongning, and his son-in-law Fan Long rebelled. In the second year of Tianqi, An Bangyan of the Shuixian clan kidnapped his nephew Xuanwei to respond to She Chongming's rebellion.
This rebellion provided an opportunity for the Shapu Rebellion in Yunnan to expand. The Ming Dynasty's policy of "ruling barbarians with barbarians" led to the consequences of "ruling thieves with bandits." Therefore, the "She'an Rebellion" and the "Shapu Rebellion"
The two are directly related.
This Tusi Rebellion was huge in scale and lasted for a long time. It seriously restricted the military and economic strength of the Ming Dynasty in Shu, Chu, Qian, and Dian provinces, weakened the Ming Dynasty's defense ability against Jianlu, and objectively slowed down the
The Ming Dynasty's pressure on the rebels put the Ming Dynasty in a situation where it was facing enemies from both sides in a three-front battle, not just a two-front battle.
It can be said that the Southwest Chieftain Rebellion in the Ming Dynasty shook the foundation of the Ming Dynasty's rule to a great extent and accelerated the fall of the Ming Dynasty's feudal rule.
Among the chieftains, people like the Shizhu chieftain are really rare. Most of the chieftains are content and obedient when the court is strong; once they feel that they are strong and can compete with the court, they will obey the court and defy the court.
Even later, rebellion was not out of the question.
Emperor Chongzhen has clearly seen these things, and his determination to change his country and return to his hometown is naturally greater than that of any previous Ming emperor!
Therefore, when Liu Weichao proposed the strategy of driving away wolves and devouring tigers, imitating Sun Chuanting's strategy of driving away thieves to harm the local gentry, thereby giving the court an opportunity to rectify the place, and when he also gave the chieftain a chance to do this, he immediately agreed, thinking it was a very good idea.
Not a bad idea.
At this time, I heard Liu Weichao continue to introduce to Emperor Chongzhen: "At this time, of course there are no chieftains anymore. Well, there are basically no chieftains! Throughout history, there have been two relatively large cases of people returning to their native land. Let me tell you
Tell me a little bit!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen was very interested and immediately listened carefully.
Just listen to Liu Weichao introduce to him: "The first large-scale reform of native land and return to exile was during the Yongzheng period of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, that is, the third emperor after Jianqi entered the pass. At that time, he not only used troops against the chieftains, but also
The Han people were moved there. Of course, there was also a big reason for the Han people being moved at this time, which was that they killed too many people when they conquered the country and conquered the southwest."
Emperor Chongzhen listened but did not speak.
"The second time of reform was when I founded the country. One thing was the same. It also moved Han people on a large scale, or it was called a garrison, which was similar to a garrison."
At this point, Liu Weichao concluded: "Throughout history, if we want to change the land and return it to the Han people, the first step must be the military. There is no doubt about this. The second step is to relocate the Han people. The third step, I found, is to
To stabilize the chieftain's territory is to educate the people there. Among other things, Min Hongxue of your dynasty did this in Yunnan and Guizhou. I can see that the reviews in the materials are good. Of course, I remember this before.
I mentioned it to you, but now I’m just using troops and haven’t done it yet.”
"Well, yes!" When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he nodded and admitted, "There are so many things going on right now, I haven't had time to take care of them yet."
When Liu Weichao heard this, he immediately replied: "That's it. Now that Sun Chuanting's department has begun to deal with the matter of the southwest chieftains, I think that the matter of the southwest chieftains returning to their native land should be formally raised and taken seriously.
The imperial court has national policies, and only local governments can respond effectively, don't you think?"
"Yes!" Emperor Chongzhen nodded again after hearing this.
This war put the matter of the Southwest Chieftain at the forefront of everything, reminding Emperor Chongzhen that it was indeed time to face it. Otherwise, Sun Chuanting would have no one to deal with the Southwest Chieftain.
principles will affect his work.
But fortunately, other things have been sorted out now. For the time being, I have freed up energy to solve the problem of Southwest Toast.
Valley regret
After all, Jianlu's side in Liaodong has already won two battles, which has greatly weakened Jianlu's strength, and Dongjiang Town is also being rebuilt. Under such circumstances, Jianlu will definitely not be able to change the world for a while, so you can worry about it.
Quite a few.
The hard nut of local rectification in Nanjing has also been broken. Now, following the Nanjing model, local rectification is being continued on a large scale in the Jiangnan region, and no new problems have been encountered.
When Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about this, he heard Liu Weichao suddenly smile, feeling a little special, and then heard him say: "In order to do a good job in reforming the land and returning to the local people, I think one of the more important points is that you have to
Just throw money at it!”
"Throw money?" Emperor Chongzhen asked subconsciously when he heard this word.
Doesn’t this require him to pay for it?
"Yes, spend money!" After hearing this, Liu Weichao nodded and replied: "In the long run, this reform is something that must be done, and if you want to do this well, you must be willing to spend money in the early stage.
Only in this way can the process of reforming the land and returning it to the locals become smoother. Unlike rectifying the place, it is much easier to use the bandits, and the cost is almost zero, and the associated gains are all land and population!"
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen looked a little hurt, but he still nodded and said: "I will never not spend the money that should be spent. Tell me, what do you think I should spend the money on?"
Seeing his expression, Liu Weichao felt funny in his heart, but on the surface, he still became serious and said to him: "Reforming the native land and returning it to the local people is essentially depriving the chieftain of his power. Therefore, the object of the struggle is the chieftain. This
The most critical thing among them is actually the people in the chieftain's territory. If you can get their support, then the chieftain will be a mere commander, a general soldier without soldiers, and he will not be able to make any trouble at all!"
Having said this, he paused and before Emperor Chongzhen asked, Liu Weichao continued to explain: "The most important thing to gain the support of the people in the chieftain's territory is to make them feel that under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, their lives will be better."
Life is better than living under the rule of chieftains! This is easy to say, but a bit difficult to do. The most important thing is to spend money!"
He had instilled the idea of putting people first in Emperor Chongzhen before. When something happened, he would influence Emperor Chongzhen from time to time. One of the most direct influences was to persuade Emperor Chongzhen to abolish the Ming Dynasty's humble status.
and promote universal education and so on.
Liu Weichao is actually quite proud of this. He is an ordinary citizen, but he has finally affected people in another dimension and improved their lives. It is just like doing a good deed, and he is very happy.
At this time, he was also very positive when he had the opportunity to continue to influence Emperor Chongzhen and give the Chinese people in that world a chance to improve their lives.
No, Liu Weichao took the initiative to stretch out his fist, right in front of the phone, and then stretched out a finger and said: "First, the key point is to treat all people equally, so that the people in the chieftain's territory can be treated like the people in the Central Plains, and they cannot be educated.
They were discriminated against because they were barbarians."
"That's no problem. Since they have returned to their native land, they are my people. How can they be treated differently?" Emperor Chongzhen heard this and immediately replied without thinking.
The Han people naturally have an open mind that is compatible with the world. In this regard, there is a natural difference between the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Liu Weichao was very satisfied with what he heard and continued: "Secondly, in terms of details, it is a bit like making a toast and dividing the fields. It means confiscating the grain fields of the toast and renting them to the common people for farming. If there are common people among them who are changing the land
Those who have performed meritorious service during their return can also be given fields. As for how many fields will be awarded for meritorious service, you can discuss a specific rule with Sun Chuanting."
This kind of generosity is similar to generosity to others, and Emperor Chongzhen does not feel distressed. And he also knows that once this method is implemented, those people will definitely be willing to help the court for their own benefit, and help the reformers.
, it should be of great benefit.
Therefore, when he heard this, he nodded again.
"Third, as I mentioned just now, it is also essential to relocate the people from the mainland. For these people, we can also give preferential treatment in terms of grain fields, such as how many grain fields are allocated. Of course, here we must also
One thing to note is that you cannot artificially distinguish between the original people and the relocated people, and you cannot govern the place through confrontation. In that case, it will be difficult to assimilate the local people. And what you want is to assimilate them in the end, no different from the people in the Central Plains.
, right?”
The reason why he pointed out this point was because he had just checked the information and found that some officials like to use this point to govern the local area and let them fight.
"Of course!" After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen nodded immediately and responded without thinking.
