A memorial to Kang Xi, a private letter to the Crown Prince!
Capital City, Yangxin Hall
During this period of time, Kang Xi had actually received memorials from Jiang You one after another.
Zhang Mu had taken root in Jiangyou.
Not only did they take root in Jiangyou, but they also began to carry out land reform.
The land was divided equally.
Kang Xi, who received the news, was initially stunned, but he was also very calm.
He didn't think that Zhang Mu could win people's hearts just by dividing the land equally.
There were people who did this.
Li Zicheng had done this before.
In the end, who in the world belonged to? Wasn't it still the Qing Dynasty?
When dividing land equally, the first to be offended was the gentry class, the clan.
To divide the land, they would definitely have to go through a hurdle. Zhang Mu could divide the land equally in Jiangyou, but he could never divide it equally in the whole country. Otherwise, all the landlords and gentry in the country would unite to deal with Zhang Mu.
"Little bandits, divide the land equally, mayflies shake the trees!”
Kang Xi casually threw the memorial to the side. He was also very confident that as long as Alan Tai's army arrived, the Ma Bandits would definitely fall apart.
The Qing Dynasty was still the Qing Dynasty. It could not shake the foundation.
Of course, everything had to be seen from both sides.
For the same thing, if there was no matching policy, the specific operational methods would be different, resulting in different consequences.
Li Zicheng had distributed the land and food, but his slogan was that he would not pay any food and would not have his own tax system. On the other hand, Zhang Mu was establishing his own administrative system and his own cadre training system.
Dividing the land equally was just a slogan.
To put the slogan into practice, they also had to establish a complete administrative and tax system.
This was what Zhang Mu really wanted to do.
Today, Kang Xi received a memorial from Alan Tai.
A complete victory!
A few days ago, the memorial said that they had paid the fees and exterminated thousands of bandits.
Today, they had broken through the base camp of the Ma Bandits.
This was also in line with Kang Xi's expectations.
Ma Bandits were weak.
"The bandit chief, Zhang Mazi, has escaped into the deep mountains and forests!”Kang Xi handed the memorial to Zhang Tingyu. His expression was still unhappy as he said coldly,"Zhang Mazi actually escaped!"
Don't worry!
Zhang Tingyu lowered his head and slowly said,"The Ma bandits were unable to withstand a single blow. This bandit chief, Zhang Mazi, is quite brave. He must have escaped in advance when he saw that the situation was not good. Next, as long as the imperial court issues an arrest warrant, we can find the bandit chief, Zhang Mazi.”
Kang Xi's brows relaxed when he heard this.
It was true that he wanted to cut Zhang Mazi into pieces, but he was not in a hurry.
"This Alan Tai still hopes that the imperial court will provide a batch of firearms. In the deep mountains and forests, these firearms are extremely intimidating. Zhang Tingyu, what do you think?”Kang Xi narrowed his eyes and asked.
Even in the Qing Dynasty, this gun was considered a high-end weapon.
Only the Divine Arms Battalion had them.
"This old minister thinks that what Alan Tai said makes sense. Once the leader of the bandits jumps into the deep mountains and forests, it will not be easy to find him. If the Qing army searches the mountains, it will indeed be easier to find this gun!”Zhang Tingyu frowned and said,"That's right. Do these Green Army soldiers know how to use guns?"”
"Zhang Zhongtang, Your Majesty, your son thinks that although the Green Camp doesn't know how to use it, Alan Tai also followed Your Majesty to destroy the Ge Erdan in his early years.”Yinreng spoke up.
"Oh?"
Kang Xi's gaze fell on Yin Ren, and he looked at his son in surprise. He continued,""Yinreng, what do you think?"
"This subject son doesn't have any opinions. This subject son thinks that although this bandit chief Zhang Mazi was captured a few days earlier or later, this subject son believes that it's better to capture him early and send him to the capital!”Yinreng slowly said," Otherwise, how would the people view the Qing Dynasty and the Emperor when they see a small thief like Zhang Mazi get away with murder for so long?"”
"Crown Prince, you make sense!"
Kang Xi looked at Yin Reng in surprise, then thought for a moment and said,""In that case, send a Divine Arms Battalion to Alantai!”
"Your Majesty, your son thinks that you can't!”
Yinreng said slowly,"This move will damage the prestige of the Qing Dynasty!"”
"Hmm?" Kang Xi was really a little surprised. He looked at Yin Reng and said,"What did you say?"
"Your son thinks that this move will damage the prestige of our Qing Dynasty!”Yinreng still spoke carefully,""Your Majesty, a small group of bandits actually made the Imperial Court mobilize the Divine Arms Battalion. How will the people of the world view the Qing Dynasty and Your Majesty? Your son thinks that it would be better to give Alantai a batch of firearms. This Alantai followed the emperor to attack Gerdan personally. He must have some ability to train soldiers. I might as well transfer a batch of firearms to Alantai and let him train them. Then, give Alantai an order to capture the bandit chief Zhang Mazi alive within a month. Don't damage the prestige of our Qing Dynasty!”
These words struck a chord in Kang Xi's heart.
What he wanted was fame.
The reputation of an emperor through the ages.
He could not damage the prestige of the Qing Dynasty, nor could he damage the prestige of Kangxi.
He wanted both the benevolent monarch and the sage monarch.
After Yinreng finished speaking, he secretly looked at Kangxi.
When she realized that Kang Xi wasn't angry, she couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
In fact, not long ago, before Kangxi received the memorial to the throne of victory, Yinreng had received a private message from Alan Tai's confidant.
This battle did not go smoothly.
The losses were huge. Although they had taken down the stronghold, they did not know where the bandit chief Zhang Mazi was. It would take some effort to find him. It was even inevitable that they would be ambushed by the bandits in the forest.
The most important thing was…
Where was the 10 million taels of silver? He couldn't find it.
So...
He wanted the Crown Prince to put in a good word for him in front of Kang Xi.
After all, I, Alan Tai, am a member of the Prince Party. I am doing things for the Crown Prince.
As for this spell…
They were also taught by Wu Sidao.
Wu Sidao had basically figured out Kang Xi's intentions.
Wu Sidao had basically figured out what Kang Xi wanted to do and what his needs were. Then, he would prescribe the right medicine.
He couldn't just rely on this memorial to fool the Emperor. He had to rely on the Crown Prince to do it in a multi-pronged manner.
Kang Xi nodded." Since that's the case, deploy 500 firearms from the Divine Arms Battalion and send them to Jiangyou. Tell Alan Tai that once the decree is issued, we must completely eliminate the bandits and capture the bandit leader, Zhang Mazi, alive within a month!"”
