The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire Chapter 479: Unrest

In fact, the entire Ming Dynasty, from the moment Zhong Yu planned to fully counterattack, he was destined to change ownership.

After these years of tossing, the Ming Dynasty has long been strong outside, and the ground is weak.

Just like now, Da Ming sees that there are millions of troops, and most of them have experienced wars and have seen blood elites and powerful troops.

But what is it in fact? The Ming Dynasty was like a dilapidated house, and now it is trying to repair and repair it everywhere, but there is still air leakage everywhere. There is no major benefit at all, but it is only a slight delay in the collapse of the house.

Daming Kong has a large army of millions, but in fact, the 100,000 army can’t make up the food and grass for a year’s expedition, and the army’s food and salaries are often in short supply. Soldiers are often bullied by the officers and used as slaves. The resentment has been born.

The internal government of the Ming Dynasty, except for the first year or two due to the crisis of extinction, it became a little clearer, and the officials were somewhat restrained.

In the past two years, with the continuous victory of the Ming Dynasty over the rebels and the continuous recovery of the lost territory, the officials have been slacking off for a long time, and the corruption that had been slightly reduced has become more rampant, even on the soldiers’ payment. Do tricks.

Especially because of the increase in the area of ​​the Ming Dynasty, a large number of official positions were vacated. In order to compete for official positions, these officials formed parties and formed cliques to fight for these interests.

In short, the Ming Dynasty is now full of chaos inside, and there is no energy at all to deal with external troubles.

Now Zhong Yuqing has a total of one and a half million soldiers, and the army is united inside and outside the hall, and because of the support of the outside world, there is sufficient food and grass, enough to fight a battle of a million people. For more than ten years and continue to feed.

With such advantages, how difficult is it to deal with a broken Ming Dynasty?

The only worry is whether Zhong Yu can break through the eighth step before the eighth-order Taizu of the Ming Dynasty takes the lead.

March 8 of Emperor Yuan.

The imperial emperor Zhong Yu took an oath in Zhengzhou, the capital of the country, to crusade against the unruly Ming Dynasty. A million army drove out of the imperial territory and swept towards the broken Ming Dynasty.

Millions of troops came out, and the 300,000 Ming troops that remained in the eastern border to defend Vietnam were naturally not opponents, and they were all defeated within a month or so. Then the remaining two provinces in the east were captured by the imperial state, and Daming's forces completely withdrew from the east.

After the news reached the capital of the Ming Emperor, the Emperor Ming was furious and ordered the defenders to guard the territories, and once again prepared to form a large army to defeat the rebellion.

Besides, Emperor Ming has not been able to dissuade his courtiers, so he went to meet Emperor Taizu in person, and asked Emperor Taizu to take action to help him eliminate the rebellion.

However, the emperor's request was not approved by Emperor Taizu, but he severely reprimanded it.

Since Emperor Taizu laid down this great Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has gradually declined. Now that the descendants of later generations are not filial, and four generations of mediocre masters have emerged in succession, indulging in pleasure, they have turned the originally powerful Ming Dynasty into such a bad appearance.

The Emperor Taizu has long been grieving, but due to the restrictions of the heavens, it is inconvenient to come forward to blame and change the court.

Now this incompetent descendant actually wants the Great Emperor Taizu to wipe out the rebellion by himself, which has completely aroused the anger of the Emperor Taizu.

So Emperor Taizu refused.

In the eyes of Emperor Taizu, a mere rebellious, the strongest is only a seventh-order, how can it have any real impact on the dynasty that has this eighth-order immortal?

The stronger the strength of rebellion now, the younger generations and descendants of oneself should work hard to get a job, rectify the management of officials, and find reasons for themselves. Rather than being extravagant and extravagant like the current court, the emperor is immersed in enjoyment and ignores the government at all.

After being rejected, Emperor Ming was helpless and without Taizu's support. Although he had no worries about his own throne, as long as Taizu did not die, no one could take it away.

But if you lose too much of the territory under your control, the taxes that the emperor can receive will be reduced in disguise, and the luxury life you can enjoy will not be able to maintain the previous scale.

For the sake of his future happy life, Emperor Ming had to issue an order to recruit troops.

At the same time, officials from all over the country are required to donate food and wages to form an army.

When the emperor of the Ming Dynasty did this, officials everywhere complained, feeling that the emperor was stealing money from their pockets, and they were extremely dissatisfied.

However, the emperor’s order cannot be violated. As long as the banner of the Ming Dynasty has not fallen, these officials dare not explicitly refuse the order of the Emperor Ming.

However, their own money cannot be given to the emperor in vain, and needs to be recovered from other places, so they think of the people everywhere.

Almost immediately following the emperor’s donation order~IndoMTL.com~ officials from all over the world made their own claims, and the tax revenue for cleverly established names has also increased, covering almost all aspects of ordinary people’s lives.

How specific is it? In a typical local county, there are hundreds of taxes that a household needs to pay, and the zero purpose is laid out.

Is it the king's land in the whole world, and the king's court that leads the land?

Since the entire world is an emperor, you are a Dalai who drinks water with the emperor's water, and you have to pay a water tax. Harvesting rice requires a rice tax, and the last mao pit requires a mao pit tax. In any case, people will charge for everything.

This was a complete one. The people were forced to have no way of survival. The large-scale refugees fled and countless bandits spread all over Dalian in an instant, making Daming's public security problem more serious.

Because of the impermanence of Emperor Daming several times, the government decrees issued by the emperor have been changed, which has completely broken the hearts of the people at the bottom.

By now, if yesterday we came to the six southern provinces or other places in Daming to recruit troops again, they would use it to fight against the crusades of the Ming Dynasty. There will never be any more surrender as before.

Not just the people at the bottom, but even the wealthy class in the middle of the society. Those who actually control the places composed of small merchants and landlords have suffered serious damage to their interests during these several changes of decree, especially now. When parents everywhere searched for the people's anointing, they were treated as pieces of fat as local wealthy people.

The only people who really benefited from this turmoil were the big landlords, merchants and nobles.

Because I am a decision maker, I can use my power to reap my own benefits, and no one who is blind to them dares to make trouble for them.
