However, when Su Yonglin tried to launch an action to break this system, he found that his power was too weak, but the ruler had a great power of oppression and exploitation to run this cruel system.
He thought for a while and couldn’t find a way to change this situation.
Starting with his own identity, he found that his law was broken
So what should we do?
Chapter 937 Until the last moment of life
Realizing that the unified method couldn’t work, Su Yonglin began to study this system with great concentration and finally reached some conclusions.
This system of loyalty, filial piety, righteousness, unity between heaven and man, and the mysterious thought of heaven and man’s induction assist the army to maintain strength. Social landlords and gentry grass-roots executors implement this system and reach the bottom of society
Thus, the three-level power system of [emperor-official-landlord and gentry] was realized, and it was also a three-level oppressor.
The emperor knew that it would take too many officials, too much energy and too much money to complete this oppressive system on his own, and it might collapse at any time and place, and it might also be opposed by social elites.
Zhao Songtian decided to win over social elites instead of confrontation.
Zhao Songtian chose to cede part of his power to the officials, landlords and gentry, so that the landlords and gentry could enjoy certain political characteristics and enjoy the imperial examination. Those who chose the best were given the opportunity to be promoted to the second level of oppression.
In order to make them more satisfied, Zhao Songtian also openly shouted the political slogan "Scholar-officials share the sky" and raised the status and treatment of scholar-officials to the highest level in Sui and Tang Dynasties, so that they could not be dissatisfied.
This emperor can win over these social elites, unite these social elites and maintain local stability with their strength at the least cost.
Social elites have huge land, money and tenant groups, which are enough to shake the dynasty system, but if they become the beneficiaries of the dynasty system, they will automatically safeguard the dynasty system and let the Zhao emperor rest in peace.
So they became that most loyal defender of the dynasty system.
Star opponents can’t break through the first imperial maintenance network formed by landlords and gentry in the first place, and it is easy to be eliminated in the bud.
If the peasant uprising can develop and expand, it is really not something that landlords and gentry can fight against.
Of course, the beneficiaries, landlords and gentry, are by no means honest.
They helped the emperor maintain stability, but at the same time they also took benefits that did not belong to them. They took it for granted.
Those who have achieved fame and official positions through the imperial examination will in turn be motivated to escort this grab.
This grab is land annexation.
And the suffering of the people began from this.
From the ancient and modern dynasties, the pattern of travel is nothing more than this.
If you can’t break this system and re-create a new operational system, it will definitely be unsuccessful.
To eliminate this system and create a new system, the first thing to do is to blast the components of this system.
Su Yonglin believes that to deal with this evil system, we need to launch blasting from four aspects.
Expose the outer skin of the thought of loyalty, filial piety and righteousness, and expose their wicked nature.
Exposing the mysterious thought of the unity of heaven and man and the induction between heaven and man tells people that the emperor was never destined to have his own efforts.
Resolutely attack the root forces that maintain this system, annihilate their military headquarters, and deprive them of the root forces that maintain the rule of exploitation.
Launch a decisive attack on the landlord and gentry class, the most powerful and largest maintainer of this system, and destroy this group of gentlemen.
Attacking this system from these four angles can completely destroy this system and then establish Gankun.
If only the army destroys their main force, it will be just another oppressive imperial dynasty.
At that time, Su Yonglin was not confident that the Southern Song Dynasty broke through the first imperial maintenance network formed by landlords and gentry and decided to find another way to go to the Jin State, where the system was not so mature, to create a new world.
At that time, jurchen, who had just left ignorance, could not operate the mature system of oppression and exploitation of the ignorant and weak people in the Central Plains Dynasty well, and they had not even completed their own transformation.
For ruling them, it is more brutal force oppression, and for the third oppressive class of Zhao, Song and Wang Chaoqi, it is to suppress restrictions rather than share interests.
At that time, the contradiction between the Ministry of Jin and the Ministry of Southern Song was far sharper than that of the Ministry of Southern Song. It was he who could benefit from such a sharp contradiction.
After figuring out who is the enemy and who is the friend, he started from now on.
He launched a decisive attack on Yan Hong Liang’s eyelids, and constantly attacked the road, and gradually implemented his ideals into the rule.
He eliminated the landlords, gentry and jurchen nobles, liberated the peasants, established peasant associations, distributed land, gained their trust and dependence, greatly liberated their enthusiasm for production, and made them take the initiative to send their children to the army as soldiers to support his fight.
His victory was driven by the peasants, who let their children take their own food to him and strengthen his army, so that he never lacked food and always fed his soldiers and gave them a strong fighting capacity.
Instead of supporting the oppressive nature of landlords and squires, he eliminated their departments at the grassroots level and established peasant associations for farmers to organize themselves. He guided himself to manage himself.
