Chapter 25 Li Min is more difficult, Zhengde lives by virtue 3
If Emperor Zhou Tunan now orders to quell the rebellion, do you really think those people in the military will obey the order?
It was just a slap in the military for nothing. This time, taking advantage of the little prestige that the general finally established, he would immediately waste it!
This matter depends on who can’t hold back!
The close minister chattered endlessly and waited for further advice. Zhou Tunan suddenly said quietly: "Last night, the manager of Hengtonghao went to your house. How many gifts did he give?"
The close minister suddenly felt cold in his heart and his throat seemed to be pinched.
Zhou Tunan sighed and said, "Follow me, the emperor, who has no power and no power, I am so aggrieved!"
No matter how stupid the close minister was, he could understand good and bad words. He immediately fell to the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
Zhou Tunan said, "Since there is no benefit to follow me, I will feel wronged. Forget it, you should go back to Xiangwang Mansion!"
The close minister suddenly felt relieved. The emperor did not get angry and was directly punished, but he was still thinking about his old love.
I dare not say much now, so I will leave without apologizing.
"Your Majesty, this thief is traitor. Do you want to deal with him halfway?"
Isirbisdao, who was already the eunuch of the Imperial Guards.
Zhou Tunan shook his head lightly: "We don't need to take action. This person has taken advantage of it but can't do anything. Naturally, someone will deal with him!"
Sure enough, this close minister just received five thousand taels of silver from Hengtong yesterday, but nothing happened.
Behind Hengtong, there is a civil servant boss, so naturally he will not let him go easily.
Before he could leave the capital, he tossed the minister to death. He had just obtained the five thousand taels of silver that had not even been spent on a penny, and was taken back.
He gained nothing and was driven back to Xiangwang Mansion. He became a name for being scattered in the world and hated him, so he hanged himself.
Instead, the palace gave him 100 taels of silver to handle his funeral.
People say that the emperor is concerned about his old love, but he is still the same for such traitors!
"The energy has reached 63 o'clock!" Zhou Tunan murmured to himself.
...
...
When this close minister was handling the funeral, the scale of evil god believers in Xinfeng became larger and larger. Within seven or eight days, they captured more than a dozen counties and gathered hundreds of thousands of people.
In such a short time, so many people have gathered, which shows that the entire people are full of public grievances and are ready to explode at any time.
Kill officials, abuse the merchants, factory owners, etc. The scale is getting bigger and bigger.
The cabinet began to panic - at first they were still in the mood to use conspiracy and secretly urged Zhou Tunan to come forward.
At this time, he finally began to panic and repeatedly asked the military to send troops to quell the rebellion. However, the Governor's Office of the Five Army always delayed with various excuses.
Between the two sides' disputes, the scale of the rebellion is constantly expanding. It has affected several prefectures!
Even the troops stationed in all places were surrounded by sneak attacks, annihilated, and all the weapons were robbed.
At this point, even the Governor's Office of the Five Army began to gradually realize that the situation was wrong. If we let it go, the situation would be really difficult to deal with.
If the broken dam cannot be blocked in time, the breaking hole will only become larger and larger.
However, the Governor's Office of the Five Army had said too much earlier and had a high attitude, but it was difficult to change its words for a while.
At this critical moment, the emperor finally summoned civil and military officials to discuss matters and mediate and make peace.
The Governor's Office of the Five Army also agreed to send troops. The civil servants of the cabinet also agreed to the various conditions for supply and supply proposed by the military to take the opportunity, and agreed to increase military expenditure by 10% in the coming year.
The successful mediation also greatly increased the prestige of Emperor Zhou Tunan.
At the same time, it also makes people realize that in terms of the cabinet and the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces, an arbitrator is indeed needed, such as the emperor.
However, at this time, more than a month had passed since the evil god believers in Xinfeng's rebellion.
It is not that easy to quell the rebellion.
Several troops mobilized by the military arrived, but soon suffered a defeat in the face of the sea of people tactics.
You should know that at this time, the number of rebels had reached millions.
The military could only continue to mobilize the army to quell the rebellion.
In the end, 200,000 troops were mobilized and it took more than three months to quell the rebellion.
However, at this time, the rebellion had already affected half of the province, and more than thousands of officials and Shang tribes were executed and killed.
There were hundreds of factories and mines that were burned and destroyed.
All the family of many merchants were killed, especially many merchant factory owners with great public resentment, were cruelly revenged and killed by the rioters, skinned and dismembered and lit sky lanterns, etc.
The cruel facts shocked all the merchants in the world of Da Chu, and were also frightened by the powerful destructive power possessed by those servants who seemed insensitive on weekdays.
At this time, the emperor ordered the great tyrants of the Shang tribes in the world to come to Beijing to discuss matters. In order to prevent such riots from happening again in the future, thirteen bills were formulated.
It stipulates basic guarantees such as minimum wage, maximum working hours, etc.
When the great merchants of the merchant clan were in shock, they were particularly easy to talk.
The military also supported... They were playing with fire and burning themselves. They also saw the huge power that the mobs possessed.
Although the rebellion was successful, thousands of casualties were killed or injured in the end, and this was still the case when the mobs lacked ammunition and weapons.
Especially in the end, the morale of the army was unstable, and there were many soldiers who sympathized with the mob, and even had mutinys at the level of the team several times...
After all, ordinary soldiers are also from the people and they hate those merchants too!
The military is determined to fight the decisive battle with the Rakshasa Kingdom, but does not want to fall into the quagmire of domestic riots.
Therefore, the thirteen "Political and Benevolent Government" were quickly promulgated and implemented.
All merchants, factory owners, etc. who violate the violation will be punished immediately and even punished.
With the implementation of the policy, all the people in the world are thrilled, and the Emperor of Welfare is the Lord of the Benevolent Emperor, and the prestige among the people has increased unprecedentedly.
The public resentment conflicts also eased, and it was no longer the initial appearance that was about to break out.
In the court, Emperor Haosheng also completely erected the role of an arbitrator.
If there are any conflicts between the cabinet and the Governor's Office of the Five Army, they often rely on the emperor to mediate and make decisions.
The emperor also maintained restraint and did not stretch out his hands randomly and took power everywhere.
He just quietly controlled the military power inside and outside the imperial city.
No matter how you say this, the throne has been firmly held and prestige has been initially established.
There would never have been any incident in which the military general roared and seized the jade seal.
At this time, Zhou Tunan looked at his own energy again and again, and unknowingly, it had increased from 63 points to 81 points.
"This is like snowballing. The faster you go to the back, the faster you rise!"
...
...
Although the situation in the court has changed, the throne has stabilized and has basic influence.
But Zhou Tunan was still dissatisfied with this. He only did these things through personal means, not forming procedures.
This has the possibility of a state of destruction. If an emperor is not good enough, he will easily lose his influence and position as an arbitrator.
