Emperor Chongzhen had long wanted to cause trouble for the ministers in the court, or he had long wanted to make a real major change to some current situations in the Ming Dynasty.

Although he had been acting recklessly before, Emperor Chongzhen was always careful not to touch certain red lines.

It’s okay to force the court officials into anger. At worst, it’s just a matter of changing into a batch, but the military and the civilians are far from that simple.

It is far from simply solved by timely food and salary and never adding taxes.

And there are many red lines like this.

For example, opening the sea, selecting officials, and some broken things in the army, such as land.

Although Emperor Chongzhen was chaotic before, he was still playing within certain rules most of the time. He also had the record of retreating from the Chahar tribe in the north and the retreating Jiannu from the capital. In addition, the tables were just some bad faces that were completely unavailable to see, and they were lifted up.

Therefore, although many court officials were helpless, they could tolerate it.

If you play a policy of equalizing the fields as soon as you come up, you will probably not have any other results except when you put it on the coal mountain more than ten years in advance or fall into the water and die.

Moreover, Emperor Chongzhen’s Wu Lai didn’t really come back completely.

As an emperor, a very important skill is to hide your true thoughts and not let your ministers guess what they are thinking.

Even if you guess it, you have to let them guess it on purpose.

But now there is no need to worry about this problem.

Now even though he knew that Emperor Chongzhen was causing trouble for everyone, the ministers in the court still had to pinch their noses and recognize them.

Just like in August Guiyou, there is a big star flowing west and a red color. What will happen if you change the emperor?

If you didn't say anything, you would criticize him. In short, it was because of his lack of moral integrity and that God warned him.

But what about Emperor Chongzhen?

The Imperial Heaven Supervision almost thought about it before he came up with a conclusion that Zheng Zhilong would flatten Java, and God thought it would congratulate him.

The saying that the heart of heaven is hard to predict is difficult to be true when used in other emperors, but it is simply appropriate to use it in Emperor Chongzhen.

For example, corruption, all the officials in the court were considered one, and their butts were not clean. However, except for the chief minister Huang Liji, few of the big guys were pulled out to search the house and asked for death.

For example, if there is basically no one who dares to resist the order, it will be better for him, but the two bastards, Liu Xingzuo and Zheng Zhilong, are nothing big.

To sum up in two words, it is willfulness.

When encountering such a willful and unreasonable emperor, who is ruthless and has a lot of ruthless words, there seems to be no good way for everyone to bear it honestly.

Just like this time it is obvious that it is disgusting, it is better to say that it is better to sort out the whereabouts of the land than to sort out those unowned wastelands.

After all, since its founding, many people have used all kinds of means to get other people's land to their own names.

Those who have no land either rent or become refugees.

Whether it is a tenant rent or a refugee, the possibility of losing one's life is far higher than that of the small self-cultivated farmers who have land at home.

In other words, Emperor Chongzhen's decree was not so much about sorting out the wasteland, but rather forcing everyone to spit out some of the land that had already eaten into their mouths.

It’s not OK to not vomit.

If it were the past, everyone would have thought of all kinds of reasons for arguing. Now that the emperor has killed Jiannu, and with the people's hearts that have been accumulated in the past, no one can cure him.

Unless it is a big shot like Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Laosi, or the originally disappointing Emperor Tianqi climbed out of the coffin board, it is possible to suppress Emperor Chongzhen.

The problem is that even if they crawl out of the coffin, the possibility of being pressed back is far greater than that of them entering the Forbidden City, and their coffin will likely be replaced from wood to cement.

What the Emperor Chongzhen’s decree revealed is far more than just asking everyone to spit out some land.

The hidden meaning is to ask everyone to reduce the rent.

After all, there are basically no people in the Liaodong area now, so so much land is vacant, it is definitely necessary for people to cultivate it.

What's fucking is that Liaodong is different from Xinming Island and Java.

Although Xinming Island and Java are completely owned by the Ming Dynasty and implemented the regular Ming Dynasty laws, which are just the same as the local land of the Ming Dynasty, they are ultimately overseas.

Before Xuande's New Year, before Nurkandus had been abandoned, the people of the Ming Dynasty had opened up land to Nurkandus.

What's more, the land of Liaodong, which is countless times closer to the Ming Dynasty than the Nurgandus.

Just as the edict said, landless people were summoned to Liaodong to open up land and cultivate, and even tools and oxen were prepared by the government, which was simply a firewood from the bottom of a pot.

The land rent will not be reduced. Those mud legs without land will have to run to Liaodong. The Yongye Tiankou Fen land will be obtained. Each of them will get a hundred acres of land, which is not much better than renting 40% or 50% of the rent?

But these mud legs were happy, and no one could be happy with the men holding a lot of land in their hands.

Originally, the rent of 50% or 60% was collected, because Xinming Island and Java had dropped to 40%. In addition, the land rent of such a large territory in Liaodong and the larger Nurgandus cannot be reduced to 30% or even 20%?

Emperor Chongzhen once again emphasized that ancestral officials were not allowed to do business, and that they were not allowed to do business within three generations.

When a grand ceremony comes, some are happy and some are unhappy. In general, there are more people who are happy.

After all, Jiannu, who had always been despised as a scabies by Emperor Chongzhen, was really disgusted with the Ming Dynasty for several years before Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne.

Emperor Chongzhen ignored the complicated moods of these courtiers, after all, the real celebration ceremony will not be held after Zhang Weixian and the others come back.

And after the reward ceremony is completed, we have to take the heads of Ah Huang and a few Jiannu bosses to see the ancestors and other ancestors, so that they can also enjoy themselves.

Emperor Chongzhen ran to the Martyrs' Temple and wanted to see the soldiers who died in battle for the Ming Dynasty over the years, such as Wang Xuanji.

At the beginning, it was the guy who smiled and looked honest and honest and took Fan Wencheng back in Liaodong, but he buried his bones in Liaodong and couldn't even find his head.

Although the reward after the fact cannot be said to be low, and it is even higher than normal standards, Emperor Chongzhen still remembers that honest man in his heart.

Especially the guy was beaten up by his wife countless times and always ran to the door of Qingfeng Pavilion, which made Emperor Chongzhen feel extremely funny.

This is not the first time Emperor Chongzhen has come to the Martyrs' Temple, but he will take a day apart from the formal worship every year to take a look.

The purpose is to prevent oneself from forgetting these loyalty and martyrs who protected the Ming Dynasty and the people.

In more than nine years, nearly ten years, there have been countless tablets in the Martyrs' Temple. The lush pine and cypresses silently accompany these heroic souls. With the wind blowing from time to time, it sounded like those heroic spirits were whispering in a low drizzle.

Looking up at the pine and cypress in the yard, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and scolded the bastard.

These guys are always like birds, and they are not as disciplined as military rabbits in later generations. They have done a lot of bullshit things.

Especially this kind of bragging behavior is definitely what these guys like to do after the war.

I just didn't expect that when these bastards were alive, they were still like birds after they died, and they didn't grow any more!

It was not until I walked around behind the hall that I found that there was someone in front of Wang Xuanji's spiritual position.

A man, a young woman in white, and a child.

The man didn't know him, and by looking at the standing posture, you could tell that he was also a member of the army. Combined with Wang Xuanji's identity, he guessed that he was probably from the Jinyiwei.

As for the young woman in white, it was Wang Xuanji's wife Wang Zhao. The woman who could beat Wang Xuanji up at any time, Emperor Chongzhen really couldn't understand why a big and thick man was often beaten by a petite woman and had a bruised face?

The child is Wang Xuanji's son, a little guy who is just ten years old. He looks so stubborn, but his identity is already a Jinyiwei Qianhu, the second generation of Marquis.

The child raised his feet, reached out to wipe away the tears from Wang Zhao's face, and whispered: "Mom, stop crying, Daddy must not want to see you crying."

Emperor Chongzhen coughed, and before Wang Xuanji's spiritual throne, he signaled Wang Chengen to place some fruit and melons and fruit sacrifices that had been prepared.

The Jinyiwei wearing ordinary clothes was Liu Laosi. When he saw Wang Chengen and others following Emperor Chongzhen, he knew the identity of Emperor Chongzhen. However, when he saw Emperor Chongzhen dressed as an ordinary citizen, he had to bow and bow and said, "The villain has seen the young master."

Wang Zhao had also met Emperor Chongzhen. He was about to kneel down and bow in panic, but was stopped by Emperor Chongzhen: "Mr. Zhu came today to see a loyal and kind man like Brother Wang. Don't be too polite to this brother!"

Liu Laosi did not dare to reveal the identity of Emperor Chongzhen, so he had to stand aside at a loss. Tears on Wang Zhao's face once again burst out: "I am rude and I am making my son laugh."

Emperor Chongzhen shook his head, touched the child's head, and said, "There is no rudeness or rudeness. What Zhu can do is just come and see, and it is not as good as Brother Wang's sacrifice for the country like this."

After Wang Zhao bowed slightly again, Emperor Chongzhen squatted down and asked the child with a smile: "What's your name?"

The child looked at Emperor Chongzhen, looked up at Wang Zhao again, and then said, "My name is Wang Qiulu. My mother said that we cannot forget the hatred of those barbarians!"

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and smiled and said, "Have you ever entered school?"

Wang Qiulu said: "I have already started school and am studying "The Analects of Confucius·Xueer" with my teacher."

After saying that, Wang Qiulu said with some flaunts: "My mother is still forcing me to practice martial arts, so I'm tired!"

Emperor Chongzhen was stunned and then laughed and said, "Okay! It's right to practice martial arts. I, a man from the Ming Dynasty, can't be able to not be familiar with martial arts!

I will study hard in the future and protect the people of the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty like your father, okay?"

Wang Qiulu nodded and said, "Okay! I must study hard, practice martial arts well, be loyal to Your Majesty, and serve the Ming Dynasty!"

He smiled and touched Wang Qiulu's head, then Emperor Chongzhen stood up and said to Wang Zhao: "Get this child to study with Zhu Chenggong tomorrow?"

When Wang Zhao heard this, he couldn't stop being excited, but he felt extremely nervous and said in a trembling voice: "How can this be done?

The young master in Mr. Zhu’s family must be like a dragon and a phoenix. Qiu Lu’s child is always causing trouble, but he is afraid that he will annoy the nobles?”

Emperor Chongzhen chuckled and said, "What kind of noble people are not noble? Zhu will make this decision for his sister-in-law today. Would you agree?"

Wang Zhao was determined to kneel down and salute, but was afraid that Emperor Chongzhen's identity would be exposed after kneeling down, so he had to answer nervously: "Everything is based on the orders of the young master!"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he turned his head and ordered Wang Chengen: "Did you remember it all? This child is well-educated, and he deserves treatment. He will follow the successful child."

After a few simple explanations, Emperor Chongzhen left the Martyrs' Temple. When he walked into the yard, he suddenly stopped and whispered: "Damn it, I promised to come back, but you have broken your trust in me, and you are simply deceiving the king!"

Emperor Chongzhen returned to the palace and was in a bad mood.

From the seventh year of the Tianqi period, to the ninth year of Chongzhen, in the ten years, I don’t know how many people died because of their orders, and I don’t know how many soldiers who followed him did not come back.

Or, what comes back is just a handful of ashes.
