Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Second Let the fire burn red!

In another time and space, there is a very popular saying that "the real truth is destroyed in Wanli".

There are many reasons for saying this, such as negligence and Sarhu, but it is undoubtedly the protracted chaos that has caused the rebellion of the imperial energy and made the monarch and ministers divorce from their morality and the country has become a mess.

Normal people cannot understand why Wanli was so impatient to plunder people's wealth through mining supervision and taxes. People at that time described him as "follow the action and follow the action, and sparks move forward" in such matters, which is in sharp contrast to his laziness in national affairs.

The mine taxation envoys relied on the imperial envoys to take care of the imperial envoys, and did not take the imperial envoys seriously at all. They even regarded the officials of prefectures and counties as slaves and ordered them at will. Naturally, a crazy plunder of "a crowd of tigers, roaring with people, singing in an instant, and setting up layers of traps"!

They almost controlled the mines and tariffs across the country, and used the methods of including mines, taxes, taxes, taxes, and taxes to collect silver. They set up many checkpoints along the river, along the river, roads and bridges to collect taxes. The names of the various taxes made merchants profitable, factories stopped production one after another, and the economy almost stagnated.

There is no tax to levy bones and marrow, so they dig graves everywhere, robbed them with weapons, and punished the rebels with resistance. In order to avoid disaster, the rich and powerful families were forced to bribe them; most middle-class families were destroyed and their families were destroyed. Ordinary people could not escape, and they were directly penetrated by eunuchs' dog legs, raped their wives and daughters, and countless people hanged themselves.

With the support of the emperor, the mining supervision tax commander unscrupulously and madly harmed the people, causing heavy disasters to the society, and ultimately made the Ming Dynasty pay a heavy price.

For example, Gaohuai and Liao were in chaos.

Gao Huai was a scoundrel in the market. After the eunuch entered the palace, he saw that the mine supervision tax envoy was a good opportunity to make a fortune, so he bribed the power eunuch in the palace and obtained the position of the Liaodong mine tax envoy.

In those days, there was no mine to mine in Liaodong? But the intention of high-mining mining was not to mine, but to exploit Liaodong's military and civilians.

After he arrived in Liaodong, local rogues and second-rate people joined their subordinates. They either publicly looted or extorted, and spent their fortunes and deluded women. The people of Liaodong were like fire and fire.

The Gaohuai Party arrested Tianwang Temple, both young and old, and tortured the military and civilians who dared to resist. Some were tied up and hung with their feet in the well, called "hanging their heads in the well"; some were hung upside down on trees, called "pulling their feet in the sky", some were tied upside down on pillars, called "waisted Lu Gong Lace"; some were placed on iron sheets with fire below, called "burning and warming kang", and tens of thousands of people were tortured to death in more than ten years.

The military and civilians in Liaodong were unable to withstand the oppression and repeatedly changed violently, but were suppressed by Gao Huai. It was not until the 36th year of Wanli that the officers and soldiers of Liaodong "swear to eat Huai meat" that he was so scared that he fled back to the pass.

Gao Huai, a person who was extremely guilty, actually occupied Liaodong for a full twelve years, relying on the incompetent Wanli to protect him indiscriminately. In despair, the military and civilians could only escape from Jiannu. At that time, people said that "a young and strong and brave man was killed in Jianzhou for four or five in ten." Not only greatly enhanced the strength of the female Naomin, but also caused the Liaodong Iron Cavalry who had swept the pass outside the pass to lose its troops and withdrew from the stage of history.

Gao Huai and Liao were not an isolated case... Ma Tang and Chen Zeng killed Shandong, Sun Long ravaged Suzhou, Chen Feng knocked on Huguang, Sun Chao slaughtered Jin, Pan Xiang slashed Gan, and Yang Rong stormed Yunnan... This catastrophe spread across the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, and lasted until the end of Wanli!

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty was not defeated by Jiannu, but was sent to the mouths of the king and his subjects, and it was impossible not to eat it...

But wherever there is oppression, there is resistance. All the scholars, farmers, industrial and commercial strata across the country hated the atrocities of the mining tax envoys, responded to the calls and continued to resist!

In the 27th year of Wanli, a "civil rebellion" broke out in Linqing, Shandong, which resisted the atrocities of Ma Tang. More than 10,000 people set fire to the tax supervisory office and killed 27 Ma Tang's entourage!

In the 28th and 29th year, Wuchang had a continuous "civil rebellion" of counter-tax envoy Chen Feng. Sixty thousand merchants surrounded Chen Feng's office, tied his minions and 16 of them to the river, forcing Wanli to withdraw Chen Feng!

In the 29th year of Wanli, Ge Xian of Suzhou led his people to launch a famous riot written into later textbooks, drowned Sun Long's gangsters in the river, burned the tax supervisory office, and demanded that the tax collection be stopped. Under the power of the masses, Sun Long fled to Hangzhou in fear...

In the second half of Wanli, the struggle against mining and tax supervision spread across the country and lasted for a long time, forming a wave of struggle against harsh taxes and destruction of industry and commerce!

It is just because there is no revolutionary guiding ideology and no mature leadership, these spontaneous citizen movements cannot be continued, and even more so. The rioting people often drive away the eunuchs and kill a few minions. After they let out anger, they will take the initiative to end the massive civil and mutiny without the court suppression.

For example, after driving Sun Long away, Ge Xian stepped forward and surrendered to the prison door in order to protect the masses... It was admirable, but he couldn't help but sigh.

But this time, Zhao Hao has been deeply engaged in education in Southeast for more than 20 years, and the San Anti-education has been carried out for many years, and the leader of the group believes that after this inciting civil unrest, it will definitely be different!

However, reality is not a stand-alone game. There are always people who have different ideas and have the ability to change the direction of the wheel of history.

Zhao Hao wanted to suffer the people and make them awaken in pain. But Hai Rui said no, why not live in the people? You should think of other ways...

'Haigong, Haigong, you are forcing me to use my ultimate move...' Zhao Hao looked up at the beautiful teak ceiling and sighed helplessly. But thinking about it, has the suffering the people suffered enough over the years? He may have really had some mechanical dogma.

After calming down his emotions, he fell into deep thoughts.

Until the pipe in his hand went out, Zhao Haofang clarified his thoughts again and pressed a button on the coffee table next to his hand.

The four people waiting outside saw the lights at the door of the suite and quickly went in one after another.

~~

After the four of them sat down, Zhao Hao lit his pipe again and said in a deep voice:

"I have decided. From now on, the entire group will enter the first-level combat readiness state!"

"Yes!" The four of them hurriedly stood up and responded loudly.

This is the second time that Jiangnan Group has entered the first-level combat readiness, but the scale is no match for the time twenty years ago!

During that war mobilization, the Jiangnan Group had only a few companies and dozens of small boats.

This war mobilization is more than a hundred times larger in scale?!

The last goal was to drive the Portuguese out of the Ming Dynasty.

This time, I want to smash the old world and rebuild a new world!

Now, there is no need to hide it anymore, so you should show off openly!

"I decided that the Royal Coast Guard should be officially renamed the People's Navy!" Then, Zhao Hao said the words that Jin Ke and others were looking forward to day and night.

"Yes!" The voices of the Big Three were about to overturn the roof.

"The soldiers were renamed the People's Army! The armed forces of the Navy and Army were collectively called the People's Army!"

"yes!"

"At the same time, given that the group's security is extremely threatened and the people of all provinces have suffered serious harm, and the fate of the country and nation has reached the most dangerous moment. I have issued a general mobilization order to the group and the people's soldiers! From now on, the group and the soldiers have entered a state of hostility with the Zhu Ming royal family. All original agreements are immediately invalid and all contacts are immediately cut off."

"The group immediately took over the regimes in the actual controlled areas such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong, Jiaodong and Tangshan, and managed according to the first-level combat readiness state! Control all waterways and transportation tools; carry out unified management of food and other daily necessities, implement a rationing system, and stop all commercial transactions! Conduct population registration and recall retired armed personnel!"

"Appoint all the soldiers and return to the team after the reserve service. All militias and workers' guards are fully armed to defend the lives and property of the group and their fellow villagers!"

"The land is not divided into north and south, and people are not divided into old and young. Everyone has the responsibility to defend the land, and they will do their best to fight the enemy!"

Zhao Hao was like a different person, never seeing the previous pain and entanglement, and the next powerful commands.

Chang Kaiche was fully conscientious and made records with his pen like flying, for fear of missing a word.

The three giants stretched their necks and couldn't wait for the orders they gave them.

"That's all, what else do you have to add?" until Zhao Hao asked.

"Commander-in-Chief, where is our coast guard... the navy?" Jin Ke asked carefully.

"Transport the First and Second Army of the People's Army to arrive at the designated location as scheduled." Zhao Hao said in a deep voice.

"What else?" Zhu Jue asked again.

"What does it have to do with the navy on land?" Zhao Hao sniffed.

"We are dragons on the sea, tigers on the shore!" said Ma Yinglong.

"It's the dragon, and it's the tiger, and it's the tiger, and it's the disaster for me! I'm raising you to let you get ashore?" Zhao Hao glared and wiped out the dream of the three giants singing the protagonist. "Save the energy and wait to fight Japan!"

"It's not enough to get between the teeth..." Ma Yinglong muttered in a low voice.

"Go out!" Zhao Hao waved his hand angrily.

"Yes." The three giants had to turn right, step in step, and the last one closed the door.

Zhao Hao then handed a piece of manuscript to Chang Kaiche and said, "I have a song here. You can send it to Jiangnan Daily for publication as an eulogy and manifesto to Haigong."

"Yes." Chang Kaiche hurriedly took it with both hands.

~~

The Jiangnan Daily published the next day, the front page headlines were sixteen shocking blood-red words!

‘Hai Gong was killed, and he was injustice for all eternity! The tyrant is unrighteous, and killing someone will pay his life!’

The remaining pages published a song "Song of Uprising":

‘Get up, the slaves who are hungry and cold! Get up, the people who suffer in the land of China!

The blood is already boiling, and the final war is fought!

The old world beat him up and the slaves got up!

Don't say that we are worthless, we must be the masters of the world!’

‘There has never been any savior, nor is it relying on the gods and emperors.

To create our happiness, it depends entirely on ourselves!

We must regain the fruits of labor and let our thoughts break through the cage.

Hurry up and burn the fire red, and strike the iron while it is hot to succeed!’

‘…’
