Chapter 220
Whether it is inside the Ming Dynasty or outside the country, no country or nation can threaten the current Ming Dynasty.
The current Ming Dynasty, in terms of military strength alone, has overshadowed the most powerful period of any dynasty.
is the resurrection of the golden family's Tian Khan, and I am afraid that he will also kneel and lick Zhu Youzhen, the Ming Emperor.
Zhu Youzhen is powerful, and he can create the world's most powerful million-strong army in three years, and the preparation of weapons is also the most powerful in the world~ world.
The southern rebellion was not really weak, but the new army of the Ming Empire was too strong-.
It's more powerful than they can imagine.
In particular, the weapons and equipment of the Ming Empire and the equipment of long-range and short-range bows and crossbows, the cavalry attack, and the Ming infantry defense, all - did not have any advantages.
Infantry fighting cavalry, at least in the new army of the Ming Dynasty, is no longer a problem, and it can still be won in battle.
The southeastern merchants witnessed the lineup of the new army of the Ming Dynasty, which was too elite and too powerful.
With the confident and fierce aura of the new army, they directly did not have the desire to resist.
Before the Ming Dynasty exposed the true strength of the new army, they were playing with the old-fashioned silver bullet offensive.
I always think that there is no problem in the world that cannot be solved by silver.
The Jiangnan battalion has been stationed in Jiangnan, and Xu Hongji smashed it down with tens of millions of taels of silver, thinking that he had corroded this new army.
Unexpectedly, people received the money and did the same, but as soon as the edict of the Son of Heaven arrived, he immediately turned his face and was ruthless.
What does this mean, it shows that people are teasing them!
A group of gentry who claim to be smart are really bitter, sad and pitiful in their hearts now.
They are just a bunch of clowns, jumping up and down in front of people, and the uncomfortable thing is:
The southern gentry were still triumphant, boasting that the Ming Dynasty would be finished without them.
"We treat the people like mustard, and the Son of Heaven treats me like ants, and he does not treat us and other gentry as individuals. "
A very unwilling gentry and maritime merchant expressed such an emotion!
He was the first one who felt that it was dangerous to leave the family in the interior of the Ming Dynasty, so he split the family into two.
Some of them took refuge in Nanyang, and some of them went to Toban.
But there are Xiyi colonists in Nanyang, if it weren't for the support of pirates like Eighteen Zhi, I'm afraid that those Xiyi would have killed them long ago.
These Xiyi treat foreign races with the same ferocity and brutality, and their brutality is not inferior to that of Jiannu and Tartar.
Only those who have really left their homeland and left their homeland know that the original Ming is really fragrant.
Isn't it an international practice for empires to collect taxes? It is also a normal thing for a country.
It is impossible for any country not to collect taxes! Only these gentry, who have been spoiled by the Ming Dynasty, find it incredible.
"Well, our gentry are too greedy, and always like to take the interests of the empire for granted. "
"yes, we were all wrong, and we were too greedy. Which countries in Xiyi also have to pay taxes, and I have never seen anyone who does not pay taxes. "
"The tax stipulated by the Ming Dynasty is actually not high.
Small and medium-sized businessmen are taxed at no more than 5 to 10 percent.
Twenty percent and 30 percent of the big business talents.
It's really not high, it's really just a drizzle in terms of our profits. "
"It's a bit high to charge the luxury tax, up to 100 percent of the tax, but the benefits we get are also three or four times as high..."
"Yes, I used to feel panicked, but now I think about it, we are blinded by interests. "
Many of these businessmen also had to work together with Eighteen Zhi!
They have a lot of interests in it, but they have lost Southeast and Jiangnan, and their trading materials are gone.
Now it's even more risky to come!
Zheng Zhilong, a ruthless guy who turned his face, forced them even more.
If they don't come, although they have a thick family background, they may also be squeezed dry by Eighteen Zhi!
Li Mingxin is the most low-key gentry in the southeast, and he also expressed his feelings.
He has three or four million acres of land in the southeast alone.
Because of the big family and big business, I hope to support the southeast gentry and let the Ming court reduce the tax rate.
Of course, the main reason is that he is reluctant to give up the foundation laid by the Li family for several generations.
It is precisely because there are three or four million mu of land in their hands that the Li family has a great deal of power to speak in the southeast.
He knew very well that without these lands, he would not have a voice in the local area.
As for the merchants, if they have no land and no official status, the wealth of their families is like duckweed in water, and they have no foundation.
Now I see that the Ming Dynasty does not exclude merchants, as long as they pay taxes according to the regulations, they can be protected by the laws of the empire.
Li Mingxin was ostensibly forced to come and took the risk.
In fact, he also gambled again, anyway, he did not actually participate in the rebellion!
This time he took the risk to hand over the land deed in his hand, and even prepared to hand over two-thirds of the family property as a certificate of nomination. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Although the family migrated to Tofan and Nanyang, he did not feel safe.
Xiyi is unreliable, and cultural conflict is the biggest problem, and the two races are too surprised and are extremely rejected by Xiyi.
It's a matter of time before it lasts.
He also knew that the Ming Empire had formed an imperial navy in Tianjin, not on the scale of a naval division.
It can be seen that the Ming Empire is really coming to an end, and it has begun to focus on the big cake of sea trade. []
Several gentry and businessmen who came with Li Mingxin had the same thoughts as Li Mingxin in their hearts.
They are also not optimistic that the group of pirate leaders can subvert the Ming Dynasty, and it is only a matter of time before the fall is overcome.
As for Nanyang, it was even more unsafe there, too far away from the Ming Dynasty, and the local kings and colonists were eyeing their group.
0 begging for flowers
Those who live in fear all day long, who have not kissed there, will never know that they are there, and there is no sorrow without the mother country as a backer.
When they saw the terrifying power of the Ming Empire's conscienceless cannon, their hearts were full of shock and deep regret.
It is Xiyi who wants to argue with the Ming Empire, but he is afraid that he will be killed by the terrifying artillery of the empire.
Thinking of today, Li Mingxin and the others were even more numb, because they really didn't treat their gentry as individuals.
Unlike any emperor in the past dynasties, he is a real eloquent and iron-blooded saint.
Never compromise on foreigners, just do what you say.
If you dare to come, I will dare to kill, the so-called benevolent and righteous army is a fart in this new army.
The Ming New Army is proud of the war of annihilation and the view of Beijing, and feels that this is the highest glory of an imperial soldier.
"Let's go, let's trade this batch of supplies and then go to see the prince!"
Li Mingxin looked at this friend of life and death and smiled bitterly: "Although the prince promised to see me and wait, but whether it can be done or not, my brother is also very worried in his heart." "
"Big brother, since we are here and have decided, there is no way out.
The prince and the younger brother have also investigated, as long as the land is handed over honestly, it is not a big problem. "
I also knew in my heart that if I met Wei Zhongxian, the butcher, it would be a different matter.
Only Wang Chengen never kills people indiscriminately!
Of course, he kills people very low-key, they are all those local tyrants and gentry who are tough and bad to the family, and this father-in-law will kill him.
As long as you don't have any bad records and don't have the blood of many innocent people on your hands, you can basically live.
Although they have a good influence in the southeast, they can also enter the top three in terms of discourse.
But they are not as dark-hearted and vicious as other merchants.
That's why they dare to come, otherwise, give them a few dares and don't dare to come rashly.
"Yes, now that the world is in the open, we should follow the pace of the Son of Heaven!" Li Mingxin couldn't help but say.
"Big brother rest assured, the little brother's ears have already heard the cocoon, and it won't spoil the big brother's big thing. "
"It's good that you understand, this is a matter of life and death for our family, but it must also be kept secret.
Those bandits must not be made aware of them, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. "
Eighteen Zhizhi led by Zheng Zhilong, which one is not a bandit who kills people without blinking, what bottom line can he have in his heart?
These people, if it weren't for the great changes they had in the empire, who would really look up to them.
Now I can only snot to save my life, since I can kneel and lick pirates, how can I kneel and lick the fragrance of the Ming Empire?
People with a little brain still think that kneeling and licking the Son of Heaven is the most fragrant, the safest and most reliable.
