Chapter 83 money to rebel

Ningxia is a frontier area where troops have been stationed for a long time.But the trouble is, whether there is war or not, soldiers have to eat.Therefore, at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the system of garrison and garrison was implemented. Simply put, there are eight words: Soldiers garrison and leaders are full. In the Ming Dynasty, royal ownership was practiced, and all the land belonged to the royal family. Soldiers were stationed at the border to defend their homes and the country. This was the duty of citizens, as it should be.However, to open up wasteland and cultivate land, one must rent land from the royal family. That is to say, the imperial court has to collect taxes from soldiers for reclamation. This system has been implemented for a long time.But in the era of Emperor Wuzong, Zhou Dong, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, demanded that the payment of soldiers in the border area be doubled, and that for five acres of original land, ten acres of rent should be paid; for fifty acres of original fields, one hundred acres of rent should be paid.The soldiers at the border of the village suddenly raised a fuss.

It's not good to make trouble, so Zhou Dong ordered that all the soldiers who made trouble take off their pants and spank their buttocks.Not only the soldiers were beaten, but the wives of the soldiers who made trouble also stripped off their pants and spanked.Hearing about this policy, Sun Jingwen, a student, rushed to the Anhua Palace and said to Zhu Zhi: Your Majesty, did you hear that Zhou Dong is beating a soldier's wife outside. Zhu Zhi said: I have seen all those women, they are all ugly.You said Zhou Dong is really serious this week, why is he so interested in ugly women's asses?

Sun Jingwen said: "Your Majesty, you didn't understand what I meant. It's the right time to start something big." How do you see it?Zhu Zhi asked calmly. Sun Jingwen stomped his feet anxiously: "Your Majesty, think about it. Soldiers defending their homes and defending the country have to pay double the rent for farming. This is already too much."Now Zhou Dong wants to strip their woman's pants and spank her buttocks. How can the soldiers give up on such a shameful humiliation?Your Majesty, this is a good opportunity for us to mobilize our soldiers to revolt.

Zhu Zhidao: There is some truth to it, so let's act now. Sun Jingwen: ...Your Majesty, if you want to act, you have to give me some money. Zhu Zhi: ... Silver, alas, I am a poor prince, and I don't have much silver at home. How about I double reward you when we arrive in Beijing? Sun Jingwen: Your Majesty, if you don't take out the silver now, how can you go to Beijing to ascend the Golden Palace?Those who have achieved great things, why do you care about this little money. Anyway, Sun Jingwen finally managed to get some money from Zhu Zhi, so he set up a banquet at home and invited those humiliated generals and soldiers to eat at his home.During the dinner, he first deliberately asked everyone if the wound on the buttocks of their wives healed, which aroused everyone's anger, and then said: "Everyone, this is a clear thing. The world of the Zhu family in the Ming Dynasty will be usurped by Liu Jin sooner or later. It's the fault." It's strange that today's son doesn't cultivate morality and government, and he doesn't look like a gentleman.Only our King Anhua was born with a different appearance, a great talent, and the ambition to annex the world.At such a time of anger and grievances, if you are willing to support King Anhua to ascend the throne, you will be greeted by everyone, and heroes will rise together. At that time, you will definitely be promoted to rank, so why bother to suffer such filth?

As soon as this remark came out, everyone nodded.Immediately, everyone discussed properly, and Zhu Zhi, the king of Anhua, came forward to lure and kill the governor general soldier and others in the name of going to a banquet, and then raised the flag to start an incident. When the day came, Zhu Zhi really set up a banquet for civil and military affairs, and all the officials rushed to eat, except Zhou Dong, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, who did not come.It doesn't matter if you don't come, just when all the officials were full of food, Sun Jingwen suddenly led his soldiers to break in. Without any explanation, he swung a knife and slashed at the heads of the officials who were going to the banquet, killing the governor, chief soldier, guarding eunuch and many others on the spot. lead.Then everyone shouted, rushed out of Anhua Prince's Mansion, went straight to the Yasi Office, caught Zhou Dong, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and chopped him into meat paste.

Zhu Zhi issued an order: open the prison, release all the prisoners in custody, set fire to the government office, and open the official treasury—open the treasury, but it is strange, it is empty inside, not a single ingot of silver.Zhu Zhi was out of his mind, he didn't know that this was the person who was ordered to rob the treasury, so he took the opportunity to rob the treasury of all the gold and silver.In desperation, he had no choice but to dig the Anhua Prince's Mansion three feet into the ground and sell all the valuables. The money he got in exchange was used for the salaries and bonuses of the soldiers involved in this uprising—if you don't give money, no one will give it. You work, so rebellion can only be done by rich people, and the riots of the poor are at best a group incident.

Then Zhu Zhi ordered Sun Jingwen to issue a call-to-action: On the side of the Qing emperor, march into Beijing. The rebellion began on the fifth day of April in the fifth year of Wuzong.
