- In another time and space, there is a very popular saying that "Mingshi perished in Wanli".
There are many reasons for saying this, such as neglect of government and Sarhu, but what really drained the empire's vitality, caused the monarch and his ministers to become alienated from morality, and the country became completely scattered was undoubtedly this long-lasting chaos of the mine supervisors and tax officials.
Normal people can't understand why Wanli is so impatient to use the mine tax envoys to plunder people's wealth. People at the time described him as being "accurate and quick to follow the instructions" on such matters, which was in sharp contrast to his laziness in procrastinating on major national affairs.
Those mine supervisors and tax envoys were serving as imperial envoys, and they did not pay any attention to the imperial envoys. They even regarded the state and county officials as slaves and could do whatever they wanted. Naturally, a crazy plundering of "a pack of tigers emerged, roared at everyone, attacked every inch, and set up traps at every turn"!
They control almost all the mines and customs in the country, and use the methods of including mines, including taxes, increasing taxes, and excessive taxes to collect silver. Numerous checkpoints have been set up along rivers, rivers, roads and bridges to collect taxes. The cleverly designed and numerous taxes have made businesses unprofitable, factories have ceased production, and the economy has almost come to a standstill.
????????????????????? Since there was no tax to levy even if they broke the bones and stripped the marrow, they dug up graves everywhere, carried out armed robbery in public, and punished those who resisted for disobedience. In order to avoid disaster, wealthy families were forced to pay bribes; most middle-class families were ruined. Ordinary people could not escape either. The eunuchs' thieves entered private houses and raped their wives and daughters. Unknown how many people hanged themselves.
With the support of the emperor, the mine inspectors and tax envoys unscrupulously killed the people, causing heavy disasters to society, and ultimately made Ming Dynasty pay a heavy price.
For example, Gaohuai rebelled against Liao Dynasty.
Gao Huai was originally a scoundrel in the market. After he entered the palace after being castrated, he saw that the mining tax envoy was a good opportunity to make a fortune, so he bribed the eunuch in the palace heavily and obtained the position of mining tax envoy in Liaodong.
In those days, how could there be any minerals to be mined in Liaodong? But Gao Mining Supervisor's intention is not to mine, but to exploit the soldiers and civilians of Liaodong.
After he arrived in Liaodong, the local ruffians and scoundrels joined him one after another. They either openly robbed or extorted people's property, and prostituted their wives. The people of Liaodong were in dire straits.
The Gaohuai Party captured those soldiers and civilians, old and young, who dared to resist, and took them to Tianwang Temple and tortured them. Some were tied up by their feet and hung in the well, which is called "hanging head tied to the well"; some were hung upside down on trees, called "with their legs facing the sky"; some were tied around the waist and hung on pillars, called "waist girdle" Lu Gongsui'; some were placed on an iron sheet with a blazing fire underneath, called a "heating kang". Tens of thousands of people were tortured to death in more than ten years.
The army and people of Liaodong could not bear the oppression, and they had many violent uprisings, but they were all suppressed by Gao Huai. It wasn't until the mutiny in the thirty-sixth year of Wanli that the officers and soldiers of Liaodong "swore to eat Huai meat" that he was so frightened that he fled back to the pass.
Gao Huai, a heinous criminal like this, actually stayed in Liaodong for twelve years. Naturally, he relied on the indiscriminate protection of the mediocre Wanli. In despair, the soldiers and civilians had no choice but to flee and become slaves. At that time, people said that "a young and strong man died in Jianzhou forty-five tenths". Not only did it greatly enhance the strength of the female straight people, but it also caused the Liaodong Cavalry, which once swept across the border, to lose its soldiers and withdraw from the stage of history.
Gaohuai's rebellion against the Liao Dynasty was not an isolated case There were also Ma Tang Chen Zeng who killed Shandong, Sun Long who ravaged Suzhou, Chen Feng who exploited Huguang, Sun Dynasty who conquered Jin, Pan Xiang's oppression of Ganxi, and Yang Rong's rebellion in Yunnan This happened throughout the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. The catastrophe in the thirteen provinces of Beijing lasted until the end of Wanli!
Therefore, the country of Ming Dynasty was not conquered by slaves at all, but was brought to people's mouths by monarchs and ministers, and it was still impossible not to eat
But wherever there is oppression, there is resistance. All strata of the country's scholars, farmers, industry and commerce hate the atrocities committed by the mine inspectors and tax envoys. They respond to the call and rise up one after another to resist!
In the twenty-seventh year of Wanli, a "civil uprising" broke out in Linqing, Shandong Province to resist the atrocities of the tax envoy Ma Tang. More than 10,000 people set fire to the tax superintendent's office and killed 27 of Ma Tang's followers!
In the 28th and 29th years, "civil uprisings" by anti-tax envoy Chen Feng occurred in Wuchang. Sixty thousand merchants surrounded Chen Feng's office, tied up their hands and feet, and threw 16 of his minions into the river. Force Wanli to withdraw Chen Feng!
In the 29th year of Wanli, Suzhou Ge Xian led the crowd to launch a famous riot written in the textbooks of later generations. He drowned a group of Sun Long's followers in the river, burned the tax superintendent's office, and demanded an end to tax collection. Under the power of the masses, Sun Long was so frightened that he fled to Hangzhou
Throughout the second half of Wanli, the struggle against the mining tax inspectors spread across the country and lasted for a long time, forming a wave of struggle against excessive taxes and the destruction of industry and commerce!
¡°It¡¯s just because there is no revolutionary guiding ideology and mature leadership, these spontaneous citizen movements cannot be sustained, let alone sublimated. The rioting people often drove away the eunuchs, killed a few minions, and vented their anger, and then took the initiative to end massive civil uprisings and mutinies without the need for suppression by the court.
