830 How domineering
The rule of the Mughal Empire was already a bit harsh since Shah Jahan. Especially under Shah Jahan's military and military policy, although the territory was opened up, it did not bring benefits to ordinary people. Instead, it increased taxes and labor caused by wars. It can be said that the people of the Mughal Empire were overwhelmed.
If there is no external factors, then under the deterrence of the Mughal Empire's military power, the Mughal people had to continue to endure the overwhelming burden brought by this military force. Even if from the second half of Shah Jahan's succession as emperor, he would build various buildings including the Taj Mahal regardless of people's livelihood, which further exhausted the national strength, but also allowed the Mughal Empire to survive and seemed to be strong, but it would collapse in one fell swoop when it was Aurangzebu.
At this time, the Mughal Empire's building was gradually decomposed by the arbitrary behavior of Shah Jahan and other upper classes. The Mughal building was not solid. If Emperor Chongzhen pushed it, its foundation of rule would collapse.
Originally, they were suddenly attacked by foreign enemies, and all the people were scared to death. Especially after the Ming army entered the city, they directly confiscated their homes and arrested people regardless of the surrender of the wealthy and powerful families. This made them feel that these foreign enemies were too cruel.
When they were gathered in the square, they thought they wanted to kill them. At this time, they were completely desperate. However, in their despair, the Ming army suddenly announced that it was the Emperor of the Mughal Empire who sent troops to attack the Ming Empire in the distance and killed the people of the Ming Empire, which attracted revenge and wanted to destroy the Mughal Empire.
What surprised them even more was that the Ming army distributed half of the wealth they had copied to each of them. Even if they were poor, they did not come back to their senses. It was not that poverty restricted their imagination, but that the Ming army's behavior had never been done since ancient times, including the rich and the powerful, they were also shocked.
The Mughal Empire had such a serious class hierarchy, even in later generations. For such a pariah, the rulers they had heard of were only demanding, and there was no way to give. Did the Ming army ruin their minds?
After a long time, when the people holding the property saw that the Ming army was still distributing wealth from the wealthy families and the powerful people to other people, they finally came to their senses in the face of the ironclad facts, and couldn't help but cry with joy. Finally, someone could regard them as human beings.
Some smart people even think of the people of the Ming Dynasty. If they are bullied, look at how domineering and majestic the emperors are leading troops to destroy the country!
As long as people go through such a process, they can not only make money for them, but also treat them as humans and protect them? Who doesn’t want such an emperor!
So soon, some people knelt down and kowtowed, expressing their gratitude. After all the money was distributed, these people knelt all over.
However, at this time, the generals of the Ming army announced again that the rich and powerful people are now prisoners and who have been bullied for them. Now that the Ming army decides for them, they can be punished and they will be judged.
This news was like a bombshell, exploded among the Mughal poor with a bang. They never expected that they would ask them to judge the former masters?
The fear that has been formed has made many people afraid to do so. Even if there is the Ming army here, even if the powerful masters are tied up and kneel there in a very embarrassing manner, they dare not disrespect.
However, among so many people, some people do not have this kind of fear, or the great hatred has made them forget their fear. Seeing that the powerful can be slaughtered, they have no scruples. The first person comes forward and beats and scolds the powerful and powerful who oppresses them on weekdays.
Sure enough, under the surveillance of the Ming army, the rich and powerful had to beg hard, hoping to let them go.
People are good and deceived. Similarly, under the begging for mercy by these rich and powerful people, the lowly poor people saw that these usually superior and arrogant rich people even begged for mercy to them for one day. Suddenly, most of them felt very comfortable in their hearts, and the hatred that had been held in their hearts for many years made them make them make further revenge.
He scolded these rich and powerful people and accused them of their evil deeds to them. Finally, someone couldn't help but beat them to death.
This incident not only did not let others stop, but further stimulated them. Slowly, those with deep hatred avenge avenge for their relatives; later on, this bloody influenced others, and some of those without deep hatred were also cursed and killed. The negative emotions in human character were all released.
The Ming army did not stop it. Not to mention such a large-scale "public trial", if you can't speak, you can't control it. Even if you can, it's not realistic, so you just let them vent.
When all the rich and powerful people were still alive, and when most of the people had already come back to their senses after venting, the Ming army announced that they would choose people to manage and protect their own property. The Ming army would continue to liberate other Mughal people, and then patted their butts and left.
Looking at the Ming cavalry leaving, all the people were stunned again.
What's the situation?
Since ancient times, there has never been such a thing! I finally built a city. Not only did I not plunder the property, I also distributed it to them, presided over justice, and attacked the powerful masters. In the end, I didn’t want anything and didn’t want them to pay taxes, so I patted my butt and left?
After the Ming army could not see it and confirmed this iron-like fact, everyone came to their senses and suddenly became in chaos.
Some people shouted to be the city lord, while others quickly took the property home, and then closed the door. As for whom they loved outside!
Some people immediately thought of what if the Ming army left like this. What if the imperial court's troops came to fight? If they only had their property, they could hand it over to beg for life, saying that it was forced by the Ming army. However, now all the rich and powerful people in the city have been beaten to death. Even if someone really has never been beaten, who would check whether someone had killed the rich and powerful people? If the imperial army came, could they let them go?
So, when people at this level thought of either starting to clean up their fines and escape. As for where they fled, they of course fled in the direction of the Ming army. Now only the Ming army can protect them. Some people began to rescue themselves, connect and organize. In short, no one would be willing to hand over their wealth, kneel there and stretch their necks for the court army to judge.
They have just tried others and know that such an outcome will be very miserable!
This situation happened in the towns occupied by the Ming army. No matter how big the city is, as long as it is occupied, the Ming army will do so according to the will. Finally, the army gathered in Srinagar, the capital of Kashmir.
News has been received here that the Ming army failed to successfully attack. However, Emperor Chongzhen didn't care. He just set up a suspicion array, so that the enemies on the city could not see how many troops there would be on the Ming army. The cavalry was back and forth, with dust flying in the distance and continuous camps, just this momentum would definitely be more than 100,000.
Not to mention, Emperor Chongzhen even drove out the banner. This was why Emperor Ming personally led the army to fight, so how could the troops be less?
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen looked at the city with a telescope, while distinguishing who had a higher status, while listening to his generals reporting on the situation after occupying the city.
After Wu Sangui finished reporting, he finally said with a little doubt: "Your Majesty, I will see that this approach is good for winning the hearts of the people. If our army wants to occupy it, it will definitely be twice the result with half the effort. Even if the Mughal army attacks, they will definitely give up in the same line as us in order to save their lives. It's a pity!"
At this time, Wu Sangui was certainly not a young man. Seeing the madness and gratitude of the people, he knew that the Ming army had already won the hearts of the people. He felt that if the Ming army did not leave, he would be able to rule the place firmly.
Emperor Chongzhen heard his puzzled doubts and still looked at the top of Srinagar city, but at the same time he explained: "I know that your mind is to use a steadily advancement method after occupation. However, our army's strength is limited, and we cannot disperse our troops before the decisive battle with the main force of the Mughal Empire."
When he said this, he probably determined the person with the highest status on the city. Although he didn't know if he was the highest status in the city, at least the one with the highest status on the city. With a thought, he "rewarded" a Class A eavesdropping seed, and then put down his telescope and continued to say: "If my Ming Dynasty borders here and the power source continues to follow up, then after occupying it, it is a good way not to give up like this. But now our army is raiding thousands of miles, and the nearest support is only in Luntai. Do you think we can still occupy it?"
The strategic idea of "remaining the land and losing people, losing both people and land! Remaining the land and losing both people and land" proposed by great men in later generations is not something that ordinary people can think of. In this ancient times, when the expansion of territory was the highest honor, it was even harder for anyone to think of it.
After Emperor Chongzhen explained this clearly, Wu Sangui came to his senses and couldn't help but admire him. He immediately solved his doubts and was inspired. He immediately replied to Emperor Chongzhen and said, "Even if we withdraw now, if Mughal wants to restore the rule there and obtain the manpower and material resources there, it is definitely not something that can be done in a short time. It is equivalent to being there, and from then on, it will not be Mughal's place again?"
"That's right!" Emperor Chongzhen smiled and nodded in praise, and then went to see the situation in the eavesdropping system.
