Chapter 546 If you dare to go against the law, then I will show you favor!

Why did Yang Yinglong rebel?

The main reason is that he could not sit back and watch a large number of serfs under his rule flee to work in the Han area, which caused serious losses to the interests of the landlord class within his chieftain.

Therefore, he also needs to solve this problem through a war.

Because if he doesn't do this, the landlords who support him will no longer support him because of the loss of interests, and even carve him up.

It is equivalent to Yang Yinglong's rebellion. It was not that he wanted to rebel alone, but that the ruling class within the chieftain of Bozhou wanted to rebel and was dissatisfied with the status quo.

"General Yang, the current predicament lies in the collapse of rites and music, the excessive development of industry and commerce, and the court's emphasis on profit rather than virtue. Therefore, if the general really wants to get rid of the current predicament that the head of Guizhou does not want to stay in the hometown and is driven by the general, he should protect the etiquette and practice the way. Famous, emphasizing agriculture and suppressing merchants, severely punishing merchants in the borders they pass by, and treating small farmers well!"

"In addition, in the name of restoring the ancestral system, we should reopen the ban on leading the way, and revive the respect of Confucianism!"

"In this way, once the Han and barbarians have land to farm, they will not be disgusted with the general's army;"

"Secondly, it is reasonable for the general to attack the innocent and stupid monarch in the name of restoring the ancestral system. The scholars and bureaucrats in the world will not be too disgusted with the general."

"The general's great cause is naturally half completed!"

Yu Maochang, a civil official who surrendered to Yang Yinglong, put forward his own strategy to Yang Yinglong after Yang Yinglong raised his troops.

Yang Yinglong nodded at this: "What Yu Gong said is very true! Zhu Yijun has no way, and he caused the world to be in turmoil. Even my southwest corner is not at peace. Now is the time for me to do the right way for him! As you said, follow the way with the protection of etiquette and restore the ancestors. Make it named Qingjun side!"

And then, Yang Yinglong quickly led his troops to capture Qijiang County.

After capturing Qijiang County, Yang Yinglong did as Yu Maochang did, ordering his officers and soldiers not to plunder landlords and farmers, but only to plunder merchants and traders, including hired workers working in the city, and forced all these merchants and hired workers into slavery, regardless of Han or Yi.

Yu Yougang, magistrate of Qijiang County, was also brought before Yang Yinglong after he was captured due to injuries.

When Yang Yinglong learned that Yu Yougang was originally from a military household, he was appointed as Qijiang magistrate because of his military exploits and his physical disability. He wanted to restore the old system, so he said directly after seeing Yu Yougang:

"If you were a county magistrate who was born as a scholar, the general would consider recruiting you and making you an official of the general, but since you are a military household without a reputation, you should do despicable things for generations. Like me, I became a nobleman directly?"

"This is simply rude!"

"I'm not rude!"

"New rituals have already been implemented in today's world. Those who make contributions to the country are as valuable as fame and fame, and can also govern one side on behalf of the emperor!"

Yu Yougang retorted at this time.

Yang Yinglong laughed after hearing this: "It turns out that he was poisoned by the new rituals! As everyone knows, the new rituals are said to correct the mistakes of the old rituals and make the etiquette more in line with the original meaning of the saints, but in fact they are messing with the saints' wishes, which is the root of the world!"

After Yang Yinglong said that, he ordered: "Put this person down, use scissors to cut off his heart that was poisoned by the new ceremony, and then burn his heart with fire, so as not to harm more people!"

"Yes!"

As a result, Yu Yougang was dragged down by Yang Yinglong's rebels, tied to a pillar, and under the personal supervision of scholar Yu Maochang, the rebels stripped off his clothes and stabbed him into his chest with a knife.

"what!"

Yu Yougang screamed, and couldn't help but gritted his teeth: "You traitors will die hard!"

"If you want to blame it, blame him Zhu Yijun. It was he who turned you Wu Bian into civil servants and brought you to this point!"

"This good world is because he listened to Zhang Dang's words and implemented some new rituals, it became what it is now, and it forced our general to do this!"

Yu Maochang smiled and said a few words at this time.

"That's right!"

"Everyone in my Bozhou chieftain can't be at ease now, because Zhu Yijun trusts Zhang Taiyue too much, and he doesn't want to be a conservative!"

Yang Yinglong said: "I pass on my general order, if the officials of the pastors and guards of the cities under the command are civil servants who are not from scholars, this is the case. In Ming Gangji, especially those from military households;"

"In addition, all Han women need to have their feet bound again, and all Han men without meritorious titles will not be able to go out of their hometown for hundreds of miles. All books on modern studies will be destroyed. Scholars must only learn Cheng Zhu's studies, and those who have private possessions will be executed immediately!"

"Yes!"

At this time, Yu Maochang hurriedly bowed his hands to Yang Yinglong and praised: "The general is wise! Doing this will undoubtedly win the support of many scholars and officials in the world who respect the old etiquette!"

Yang Yinglong smiled slightly: "If you don't do this, how can you win the world, and how can you restore the world's peace?"

"Qijiang Xiaolian Song Wenbin is willing to donate [-] shi of grain and [-] shi of raw pork to the general to help the general protect the rituals! Please accept it!"

However, Yang Yinglong's behavior of restoring the old system and respecting Zhu Zi alone won the favor of many conservative gentry.

After all, what these gentry dream of is to return to the era of the old system, because then they can unscrupulously treat the common people as human beings.

Therefore, on this day, just after Yang Yinglong issued an order in Qijiang County to treat the gentry with courtesy and restore the old etiquette, Song Wenbin, a rich gentry from Qijiang, came to vote.

This made Yang Yinglong very happy, and immediately asked Song Wenbin to be his magistrate of Qijiang.

Moreover, some old party gentry and landlords in Jiangjin County killed Wan Zihe, the magistrate, and others, and opened the county to welcome Yang Yinglong's army.

Yang Yinglong was even happier because of this, and further determined to defend the old rituals, restore the ancestral system, and wipe out industry and commerce. For this reason, he specially ordered that all the scholars and people in the newly restored land should strictly follow the old rituals.

"Mother, why do you want to bind my feet again?"

"It hurts, it hurts, mother!"

Qiuling, the daughter of Qijiang student Fan Shouyue, was tied to a bench on this day, and her feet were forcibly broken and bound by her servants.

But because Qiuling was ten years old, her feet were already formed, so the pain was even more painful when she wrapped her up, so she had to struggle with tears.

Fan Shouyue just sighed from the side and said, "I'd say it's better to pester her quietly. This old gift may come back someday. You just don't listen to it. As expected, let her suffer even more now!"

Fan Shouyue's wife, Tian Shi, only comforted her daughter:

"Mother can't help it. If you don't do this, then General Yang's soldiers will kill you, saying that you can't let the bad manners live! My child, hold on!"

……

"This Yang Yinglong is simply doing the opposite!"

"Does he think he can succeed in the rebellion if he conforms to the old party's thinking?!"

"As everyone knows, he is fighting against the whole world by doing this!"

Zhu Yijun was quite annoyed when he learned of Yang Yinglong's series of actions after raising troops through Jin Yiwei's information, so he spoke harshly in front of the ruling ministers in the Department of Attendants.

"Your Majesty said yes."

"However, I have to admit that Yang Yinglong must have been instructed by an expert, or this is not as simple as a chieftain's rebellion, but scholars who are trying to restore the old rituals are involved!"

"And when they do this, they are obviously very clear. In fact, there are still many powerful officials and gentry in the world who want to return to the period when a large number of Han people can be sold as slaves cheaply. They have become much richer, which makes them unable to make many small people feel grateful and willingly become slaves with a little kindness like before."

Qi Jiguang spoke at this time.

Li Chengliang also stood up and said, "That's right!"

"Your Majesty, Yang Yinglong's strategy can be said to be vicious! He has grasped the thoughts of the rich people in the world, just as he also knows why he wants to rebel at this time."

"Obviously, he, who has always been arrogant and domineering, has no law of the king, and wants to kill his wife and mother, can't stand the strict rules and regulations of the court, and wants to be a real lone husband and a traitor to the people. The most terrifying thing now is that there may be many people in the local area. Haoyou couldn't stand it for a long time, and wanted to be an independent husband and traitor in one town and one mile in the locality, so even if he didn't support it explicitly, he would support it secretly, at least he would sit back and watch it grow bigger instead of suppressing the rebellion for the court. This time Yang Yinglong really restrained military discipline."

"True!"

"The old rites still have a great foundation, but according to the old rites, raising troops to rebel is already against the etiquette!"

"So, Yang Yinglong is digging his own grave by doing this. Even if he can recruit, he can only recruit speculators or fools!"

Zhu Yijun nodded at this moment, said a few words, and then said with a faint smile:

"It just so happens that the matter of reforming the native land and returning to the current situation that Gao Gong Gaoqing's family said in the past has not yet been carried out, and the order of the southwestern chieftains I have planned has not yet found a good time to carry out. He wants to win over the supporters of the old rituals. Just tweet to win over Southwest chieftain!"

"I passed on my decree to let Liu Ting, Marquis of Nanchang, go from Yunnan to Chongqing to serve as the admiral of Sichuan, Guizhou, Huguang, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Yunnan provinces. All the places where officials were promoted and rewarded before the war, and the chieftains under their jurisdiction also received rewards and titles."

"I don't believe that Yang Yinglong is the only one who wants to be the Emperor of Earth!"
