Drive! Drive!
Between the mountains and forests, the cavalry ran, the soldiers bent their bows and arrows, and clusters of arrows were accurately sank into the bodies of wild beasts that were fleeing in panic.
The emperor was wearing armor, like leading a military force to conquer, bent his bow and arrows, and he was already aiming at the roaring insect.
call out!
The next second, the arrows flew into the neck of the big insect almost at lightning speed, and finally penetrated out. The arrows sank into the ground, the arrow shaft trembled, and blood beads dripped.
And the mighty big insect roared with a shrill roar and collapsed in a pool of blood.
"good!"
"Your Majesty is mighty!"
"sharp!"
This arrow immediately attracted the praise of the generals.
"No matter how good the archery skills are and how high the martial arts are, they will never be as good as guns and cannons. Guns and cannons are the future, and martial arts can only be supplemented..."
The emperor held the bow and stopped the horse, feeling a little emotional. The system panel appeared in front of him. Looking at the familiar system panel, Li Xiuzhi's feelings became more and more intense.
In this life, I first heard about martial arts and the system of defiance. I thought that martial arts would eventually reach an unprecedented peak and pursue the illusory dream of success.
The fact also gave him endless courage. From the time he came into contact with martial arts, he reached the peak of his life in just two or three years, and even reached the peak where there was almost no record.
But just as he was full of confidence and wanted to go further and pursue the illusory dream of immortality, he suddenly realized that this peak seemed to be the peak!
After so many years, he has been at the peak of his life, collecting martial arts and classics of the world, and collecting countless treasure medicines that are difficult to find in the world. He himself has also been thinking about countless ways!
There are countless martial arts and wisdom of the ancestors, countless treasures of medicines, countless methods to try, but martial arts has always stopped at this so-called peak and has made no progress at all.
Even though he is invincible, he is only a flesh and blood body, and he will still be injured and still cannot block the power of guns and cannons.
And the current guns and cannons are only the initial stage of development...
The martial arts that he had put too much hope seemed to be really just secular martial arts. If he wanted to be extraordinary, there seemed to be no hope at all!
If this continues, martial arts will obviously only become the auxiliary of the booming guns and cannons.
However, he was unwilling to give up after all. In this life, he wanted to pursue the illusory and pacify the world, change history, and change the regrets in the hearts of future generations.
But now, his personal illusory dream is really illusory, and he can't see any hope. He wants to pursue it, but has wasted so many years, but he can't find any way out.
But this official business for the country and the people has become his whole body. With the fate of his people, he is still standing at the peak of the world like martial arts.
I thought it was a life of long-lasting life and freedom in the world, but in the end it became like this, governing the country and peace in the world!
How good luck makes people mess with you!
Such a terrifying system took him to this world of secular martial arts!
While sighing and feeling, Li Xiu looked around the generals, but smiled: "Okay, don't follow me. Today is rare to have a leisure time. If you should relax, go and go!"
Li Xiu waved his hand and looked into the snow-capped mountains in the distance. Then he rode his horse and left with his long distance surrounded by soldiers in the imperial camp.
The generals rode their horses and stopped in place, chatting laughter or eager to try, but after too long, they rode their horses and disappeared into the mountains and forests.
"Your Majesty, more than 20 officials have resigned from various departments in the court, and local prefectures and counties. According to statistics, more than 30 prefectures and counties have resigned or left directly with seals..."
"Grain prices and salt prices in various places have also risen sharply, and many grain banks have closed their doors directly."
"The Jinyiwei came to investigate, but either the grain bank went bankrupt directly, or the granary fire broke out..."
"Now, there is almost panic among the people in the court and the country, and there are even more remarks, saying that your Majesty, you want to seize the land of the people of the world for your own sake, and you want to defeat the people of the world as slaves for generations..."
When the emperor rode his horse to the top of the mountain and stood up, the Jinyiwei who followed him slowly reported.
The Jinyiwei was trembling and shocked when these rebellious words were said. Li Xiu looked calm and could not see any emotional changes at all.
These were things he had expected.
This is the limitation of the times.
The reason why the great men in the future can succeed in land reform is because under the leadership of the great men, there is an extremely capable and effective organization that can make the people believe, feel at ease, and even let the people follow, and can go deep into the most basic and organize the people.
And he had no conditions except the gun!
In any way, this reform is not a wise choice.
But he had no choice.
If he did not take advantage of the fact that Daheng was first established, the military honors were in full swing, the system was not determined, and the original corruption had not yet completely penetrated into his newly rising system. The new system was still relatively pure to change, then he would really have no chance from now on.
At least now, although this knife fell on me, it was not a serious harm. The landlords and gentry were not the real foundation for supporting Daheng.
In the future, when the system is sound and completely stabilized, the landlords and gentry will be completely the foundation of their rule.
At that time, no matter how ambitious he is, he will never be able to dig his own grave or cut off his roots...
In fact, he has no choice but to do with the chaos in today's current situation.
Normally, this kind of reform naturally requires top-down implementation, and requires officials to preach to the people and calm the people's hearts.
But now, the main body of this knife is the gentry and landlord headed by officials.
The preferential treatment of literati to literati led to land annexation formed by the previous Ming Dynasty, in fact, mostly literati landlords as the main body, and the commercial tax reform, in fact, slightly larger commercial banks in various places cannot escape their relationship with these people.
Under such circumstances, natural and normal policies are difficult to implement.
He could only choose the simplest and most brutal way, which was to exchange blood for the civil servants, the ruling class...
Thinking of this, Li Xiu couldn't help but chuckled.
It seems that the existence of Nanming has become his arm help to a certain extent.
After all, if the world is unified, he will dig the foundation of human beings like this, and the world is so great that it is all kingly land. If those people have no way out at all, most of them will have to fight back to death.
Now, the world has not been unified, and there is still a Nanming standing there in Jiangnan.
As the saying goes, if you don’t leave me here, you will have a place to leave me!
With the troops that suppress the world, there is such a way out, and most people's choices will naturally be different!
This is proven by the large-scale resignation reported by the Jinyiwei and the fact that many gentry and landlords sold their property and went south.
If the world is unified, those who are so decisive before they only hear the news and have not yet fallen behind the major strategies, will inevitably be the main force in resisting the reform strategies and will also be the strongest will in resistance.
"Good luck is a disaster, and it is a blessing to lose your horse!"
The emperor breathed a long sigh, and his expression was sighing. Who would have thought that Nan Ming would become his greatest arm to reform!
"Strictly monitor the movements in various places and summarize the situation every day."
"The Jinyiwei should guide public opinion well. The notice that should be posted should be made clear to the people of the benefits of this reform."
"Subordinates follow the order."
The Jinyiwei left, and Li Xiu looked around the undulating snow-capped mountains in front of him. After a moment of silence, he said: "Send the order and the entire army will be deported and return to Beijing in three days!"
Chapter completed!
