Yang Qing didn't want to repeat Li Zicheng's mistakes.

Li Zicheng said it bluntly that he had not cleaned it.

The composition of the Northern Shun Army was very complicated. Li Zicheng's old camp actually had only 50,000 or 60,000 people. The remaining were the Northwest official army, the subordinates who had been annexed after killing Luo Rucai and others, the peasant army that they raised their own troops in various places even just wanted to make a fight with him, and more were the Ming army who surrendered during his march to Beijing, and the local armed forces that were incorporated in the north.

In the end, these messy forces formed his total army of 600,000.

His old camp is loyal.

None of his old camp surrendered.

Whether Hao Yaoqi and Li Laiheng defended the lonely city behind enemy lines or Zhang Tianlin's troops were defeated until the entire army was wiped out, it proved the loyalty of the old camp to him.

But others may not be.

Such a situation requires a cleanup.

Whether it will cause dissatisfaction or even leave a credible, it is essential to cleanse it with iron-blooded means. A smart monarch will do this. Taking advantage of his deterrence, he will quickly take down those miscellaneous or unsupported generals on various charges, replace them with loyal old camp officers, and then break up the old organization and reorganize them. If necessary, a small-scale rebellion needs to be suppressed.

Anyway, if he suppresses it, it will be impossible to make a comeback.

But he didn't.

He is still the same thing as before.

The generals who owned their subordinates, even the subordinates who surrendered to the Ming army were still their old subordinates, and at most they stationed their confidants in important areas. However, because the south was the main battlefield, Li Zicheng's main generals were in the south. Li Zicheng could suppress himself in the north, but Liu Zongmin could not do it after he went south. As a result, Tang Yu's surrender was a great surrender of 10,000 defenders in Ji Town, and Jiang Yan's rebellion was a rebellion of 20,000 defenders in Datong. If the old generals were cleaned up, the organization was broken up and reorganized and then replaced by his old camp generals, then even if someone still wanted to rebel, it would be impossible for the entire military town to rebel. There would always be people loyal to him fighting for him.

This is one of Li Zicheng's tragedies.

Also, I haven’t really learned to mobilize the lower class people.

He did strike against the gentry, but he did not strike from the root, and the gentry still had the right to speak in the local area.

He also thought about equal land, but he did not understand propaganda and did not know what the people knew what he wanted to do. As a result, in this war between the gentry and him, the people were still spectators. If he organized hundreds of propaganda teams to go to the countryside to promote equal land, and at the same time carried out large-scale mandatory rent and interest reduction, I am afraid that when the gentry welcomed the royal army, the poor were already smashing the hoe blades as spears.

A lesson from the past!

Yang Qing can't make such a mistake anymore.

Clean.

Cleaning is required.

From top to bottom, from the army to the people, everything was cleaned up. King Gui's rebellion was the best excuse, and he used the hat of rebellion to make a big prison.

Raozhou Prefecture governs the Yongshou Palace in Poyang.

"Yang Qing, you rebel minister, Emperor Taizu, please open your eyes and take a look! Even your descendants can't be saved!"

King Zhu Changqing of Huai looked up to the sky with sadness.

At this time, Emperor Dongwu, who had been supported by Zheng Chenggong for a short time in history, was dragged by several Jinyiwei, who were like wolves and tigers, and threw it into an urgent prison car in front of him. The phoenix and dragon grandchildren of the Huaifu who had been breeding for hundreds of years, were also escorted by Jinyiwei, and walked out one by one with shackles and screaming. However, the women and children were still in Yongshou Palace, watching their men being taken away crying.

"Eunuch Lu!"

An Jinyiwei handed several letters to the eunuch Lu Jiude who announced the edict.

The former garrison eunuch of Fengyang was dismissed from office because of losing Fengyang. Fortunately, the empress dowager was leading troops on the front line when he was arrogant and emperor. Without any contribution, it was considered hard work, so he was spared from his death penalty and stayed in the palace to serve the empress dowager.

As for his partner Ma Shiying being dismissed.

However, Lao Ma was not imprisoned, and Yang Qing was still planning to use him in the future. Although Lao Ma was stained, at least this guy could be used to deal with the Donglin Party!

"Yeah, there's really this thing!"

Lu Jiude said with a smile.

Then he raised these letters and said to the people watching around him: "As a royal family, when the powerful enemy was invaded, he did not want to be the national vassals and defended against foreign enemies. Instead, he conspired with Gui, and the rebels of Jingjiang wanted to endanger the country. The Huai King and the male members of the Huai vassal all seized the title and were imprisoned. After the investigation, they would be dealt with. Except for the reserved 10,000 mu of land reserved for the support of each family's female family, the rest of the land in the Huai vassals were confiscated. Tenants who originally belonged to the Huai vassals allowed them to still rent the land, but they must be incorporated into the militia. The militia system does not pay any taxes, and the rent will be reduced to no more than 40% according to the land level. In addition, if the Huai vassals have daily crimes, they can also report to the Jinyiwei."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a tsunami-like cheer around him.

"Master, I have avenged the King!"

Suddenly, a righteous man drew his sword and rushed towards the castrated dog.

An Jinyiwei next to him pulled the trigger, and the wooden feather arrow from the steel crossbow in his hand instantly penetrated the righteous man's chest.

"Another one, Yin Cao's death warriors are murdered!"

Lu Jiude pointed at King Huai and said to the Jinyiwei who recorded the charges.

The Huai King in the prison car was so sad and angry.

Then the two hundred years of Huai Wang family was removed.

Next to it were countless cheers. The excited people walked on the corpses of the righteous and used rotten vegetables and leaves to send off their farewell. It is said that the Huai Wang family, who had exercised their first rights on the fief, embarked on a journey to the imperial prison. Poyang, one of the most important agricultural areas of the Ming Dynasty, finally returned to the hands of the court, and there was no need to be just the ATM of the Huai Wang family.

This is very important.

You should know that even during the Hu Yuan period, the population of Raozhou Road was even greater than that of a major province in the north.

The prosperity here in the agricultural era can be imagined.

However, because of the existence of King Huai, it is not only difficult to provide much tax to the court, but also to use almost all the taxes in the local area to support the royal family men and women who eat thousands of people. The removal of the King Huai Mansion represents the increase in taxes of hundreds of thousands of yuan per year. The land of the King Huai family also added at least one brigade of militia to Yang Qing. Originally, his hand could not reach east of Poyang Lake. In the future, if any gentry wanted to cause trouble, he only needed an order to summon reserves for the Grand Governor's Office, and the commander sent here could bring five thousand loyal militias to death with a stick.

The rice fields in Poyang Lake are rented in the four-year-old fields.

And no tax is paid.

Those original tenants from the Huai Prince's Mansion would immediately become Yang Qing's crazy believers.

Just as the Huai Wang family had more than 2,000 male men with titles were stuffed into a prison car and taken directly to the Nanjing Jinyiwei Prison, the frightened King Yi of Fuzhou sent the pile of letters that King Gui gave him to the Jinyiwei as quickly as possible. At the same time, he submitted a complaint and requested the punishment of the state to supervise the country. In addition, in the name of missing his ancestors, he requested to move the vassal Fengyang to contribute 300,000 taels of silver to help the country.

That's all.

The sensible Yang Qing still doesn't mind giving him a single code.

After all, the Yiwang family had also raised an army to fight against the Qing Dynasty in Fuzhou in history.

Then Yifan obtained 300,000 acres of tax-free wasteland between the Huaihe River and Shaobi. King Yi led his family of thousands of people to the state. He also devoted the millions of fertile land in Jiangxi to the state, and together with all the tenants on the land, they became Yang Qing's militia. As for their family, they ran to the fiefdom to open up land and farm. Fortunately, most of their wealth was saved, and if there was no war north of Shaobi, it would be a good place. They also had their own slaves. After all, they could still be self-sufficient in the land and farming. Compared with the unpredictable life and death in the prison, the Huai King's family who had thousands of female relatives and children in Yongshou Palace hugged their heads and cried bitterly, the result was quite good.

King Hui, the remaining uncle who worshiped Buddha in Chongzhen, was sentenced to prison by Yang Qing on the charge of colluding with Gui Ni.

Later, Zhang Yan Kaien let him go.

However, Huifan's fiefdom in Jingzhou was only 10,000 acres, and there were no other salary in the future. Just give him vegetarian food and chanting Buddha's name. Anyway, Huifan is only in the third generation, and there are not many males at all. Ten thousand acres are enough to support his family. As for his original fiefdom, this is rewarded to Ma Jinzhong's subordinates.

Ma Jinzhong never betrayed, which satisfied Yang Qing.

He is actually a veteran rebel army.

At that time, one of the thirteen families of the Xingyang Conference, but with such qualifications, facing Li Zicheng's army's pressure, not only did not surrender, but instead took the initiative to restrain the Shun Army. This was rare. Even if he did not surrender until his death in history, and followed Li Dingguo to follow Yongli, the merit alone would be enough to be treated well.

But his subordinates certainly cannot be retained.

Yang Qing was not interested in this kind of miscellaneous brands, and his subordinates were also mixed with good and bad. In history, after he died of illness, these subordinates forced his son to surrender, so his nearly 100,000 miscellaneous brands must be abolished and reorganized to the maximum of one army. The reorganized soldiers divided these fiefs into militias. In the future, Yang Qing had to reorganize other armies. All those who were eliminated were converted into militias in this way, and they were given the best farmland. King Hui's land was not enough, King Jing of Qizhou, and King Changdeji of Chang's. The former was destroyed by Zhang Xianzhong, and the latter fled to Wuzhou, which can be regarded as a rebel party now.

In this way, the southern vassals of the Ming Dynasty were the King of Gui of Hengyang, King Min of Wugang, and King of Jingjiang of Guilin.

But their ending is already doomed.

After Li Zicheng withdrew his troops, Wang Zhiren led the Second Army of the Beijing Camp to Nanchang again. At the same time, Zhang Mingzhen's navy and Ma Jinzhong's troops marched southward and entered Xiadongting. Three large armies swept the Gui Ni party members to encircle Changsha and complete their unfinished date with Zuo Menggeng. In addition, Liu Zhaoji, the third army of the Beijing Camp, went south from Jiangxi to Meiling and rushed to Guangzhou. Previously, officials from all over Guangdong surrendered without fighting and welcomed the army of King Jingjiang and Wang Yuncheng into Guangzhou. In this way, Yang Qing could take the opportunity to thoroughly clean up the officialdom of Guangdong and Guangxi. It has to be said that King Gui was also a big help.
