From Soldier To Emperor

Song Taizong led the small imperial court to go south, and the blow to the Southern Song Dynasty's Guozuo was very huge. The emperor ran away, and the people below were naturally panic.

Many high-ranking officials in the territory still under the control of the Southern Song Dynasty took the initiative to send their confidants to Mingguo to find a way for them. Now the situation under the Southern Song Dynasty has become chaotic again. If it weren't for the Juntian Debt Relief Order issued by Richard, it was too cruel. The local rich and the gentry did not dare to surrender to the Ming State, and it has long since been passed in the northern part of the Southern Song Dynasty.

However, because of the terrifying lethality of the Tiantian Debt Exemption Order, the local gentry class that has lost control of the Southern Song Dynasty has begun to collude with the government and recruit groups for training. After all, the officials and the gentry class are intertwined, and many officials themselves are gentry. Tyrannical.

Naturally, they were unwilling to watch their own farms evenly distributed by Richard to the mud-leg farmers, so they were struggling for the last time.

As for the prestige of the Southern Song Dynasty court, it was lost the moment Song Taizong escaped.

Although there were many defenders in the capital city of the Southern Song Dynasty, the number of miscellaneous troops gathered from all over and the remnants of the imperial army totaled 50,000 to 60,000.

But the morale of the 50,000 to 60,000 people is terribly low, and because the treasury of the Southern Song imperial court is empty, and the finances collapsed because of the consecutive defeats of Lien Chan, the soldiers at the bottom of the ranks don’t even have to pay for the army. They can’t even guarantee three meals a day.

Just barely starve to death

The most important thing is that the weapons and equipment of the Forbidden Army in the previous Southern Song Dynasty were costly in the previous interception operations. The defenders in the capital city lacked everything from armor to firearms. The vast majority of soldiers were a set of cloth clothes with cheap swords and spears.

Now even the farmer knows that war is no longer a world of swords and spears. The Ming army defeated the Song army dozens of times with guns and artillery. Anyone who is stupid knows who has more guns and guns than wars in this era. Powerful

It's a pity that the Ming army's long-term advance caused huge losses to the firearms industry in the Southern Song Dynasty. The city gunpowder workshops that were breached were almost looted. Otherwise, Richard's ammunition could not have been so sufficient.

The firearms industry everywhere in the Song army undoubtedly provided Richard's Ming army with a lot of ammunition supplies.

The lead bullets used by the flintlock and matchlock can be smelted with each other. The lead bullets are very soft and can be pinched out by any soldier. It is very simple.

The black gunpowder was taken directly from the gunpowder workshop in the Southern Song city, and it was barely enough.

Richard’s logistics line only needs to focus on replenishing shells that cannot be produced in the Southern Song Dynasty.

In the face of Richard’s small but very powerful siege force, the military attaches in the Southern Song capital without the emperor and the main court officials were the eight immortals who crossed the sea and showed their magical powers. Many people have semi-publicized with Richard outside the city. contact

Just to avoid military disasters on the day the city is broken, and even keep a piece of glory

Li Cha watched the Southern Song court's control over the locality decline day by day, but the scale of the local gentry group's military training grew day by day, and he couldn't help but start to think deeply about his decree to equalize the land.

In fact, over the years, the equalization of land debt relief order has not been very helpful to Richard. The popular support is certainly useful, but it cannot be transformed into military power.

No matter how grateful the people are to you, they cannot serve you unconditionally. Everyone needs food.

After all the land was forgiven, the gentry class collapsed and commercial activities almost disappeared. After all, farmers had no money to do business. Those who were able to be merchants had to have a certain wealth. People with a certain wealth were often landlords in the feudal era.

Therefore, to bring down the gentry class is equivalent to annihilating the merchant class

This naturally caused the imperial court’s business tax to drop significantly

Nowadays, the industry and commerce of the Ming Dynasty are completely supported by the government of the imperial court, and the private industry and commerce can be ignored.

Of course, these are not difficult problems for Richard. As long as the people are stable and have a stable grain tax, Richard's court will be stable.

But now Richard discovered that although the court was stable inside, the external enemies could not be killed because of Tiantian’s debt relief.

Today's situation, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the countdown to the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty has entered the countdown, and it is nothing more than how long it took Beiming.

Song Taizong, who fled south, took away the little court, but not many troops followed. It would take at least two or three years to rebuild a good soldier.

Will Richard give Song Taizong two or three years?

The dignitaries in the Southern Song Dynasty knew that Richard was a war madman. Let alone two or three years, Song Taizong would be able to survive for a year in the eastern mainland.

This is the reason why the Southern Song Dynasty court's control over the locality has dropped drastically. The court is almost finished, and the local government and the gentry naturally refuse to follow the funeral.

And Richard was class enemies with them, so the local gentry officials had no choice but to self-reliance and reinforce the regiments to train their arms.

Nowadays, the areas out of control in the Southern Song Dynasty have loomed under the separatist regimes. The local gentry and bureaucrats organized armed groups to protect themselves with the state capital as a unit. They formed armed regiments and did not belong to each other. However, they formed a temporary military agreement to fight the Ming army.

This is completely a copy of the separatist regime of the warlords in the late Tang Dynasty.

It's just that there is no more moderation now, but a more loosely organized alliance of local gentry and bureaucrats.

Although this type of local regiment training Richard is confident that he can defeat it, he doesn't know when he will fight it all the way, and it will bring a lot of systematic losses.

Now that the Southern Song Dynasty is about to fall, Richard obviously does not want to continue fighting meaningless wars.

Therefore, the Juntian Debt Exemption Order needs to be changed.

The initial point of change is the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Because the military attaches in the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty almost all put forward the conditions for keeping their wealth, all of them are big landlords, so keeping their wealth naturally means resisting the decree of equalization of land and debt.

If Richard agrees to their request, it is equivalent to the ban on the equalization of land debts, and the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty will be surrendered without a fight.

If you refuse ~www.wuxiahere.com~ there may still be Southern Song military officials who are greedy for life and fear of death surrender, but the battle must be fought.

Therefore, in April 15th of the Ming Dynasty, Richard announced that it would no longer be mandatory to enforce the waiver order in the south. As long as they are willing to surrender to the Ming country, they will retain all their legal rights and private property can be protected by law.

Of course, this is only for the surrendered landlord and gentry class. If you still want to resist, then you have to say that not only all the land will be confiscated, but the nine races will be slaughtered.

In the war between nations, Richard has never been merciful.

Sure enough, as soon as this decree came out, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty opened its doors the next day. The loyalty of the defenders in the city to the Southern Song court disappeared the moment Song Taizong abandoned them and fled.

In this way, Richard took the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty without blood, which caused another round of political earthquake in the Southern Song Dynasty.
