Chapter 182: Kneeling to welcome Master Wang to liquidate immediately!
Chapter 182 Kneel to welcome the king's army and settle immediately!
Therefore, Zhu Changqing finally agreed on a plan to solve internal financial problems with his civil officials, and this plan ultimately added the financial burden to the people.
But it is also because the burden is added to the people.
Therefore, Zhu Changqing's ministers could not feel the pressure, and they still had a good impression of him, King Lu, and believed that Zhu Changqing was really doing good deeds and loved the people as much as his son.
After all, even if you impose a tax of one cent on the people, you have to be very careful. How can you not be considered as loving the people as your son?
"Your Highness! Tu Yiheng, the prefect of Huaiqing appointed by the foolish monarch Tianqi, has been arrested by Wen County gentry Cheng Xiaolian and his tribesmen. Now he has come to report to Your Highness. What should I do? Please tell me!"
At this time, the eunuch Lu Shaoguan, who was beside Zhu Changqing, came to report.
After hearing this, Zhu Changqing said, "Very good! This Tu Yiheng is also heard by Gu. He is also a traitorous minister who forgets his ancestors and supports reforms! What should he do with this person?"
"What Your Highness said!"
"This Tu Yiheng, like Chen Zizhuang and Xia Yunyi, are all evil people!"
"In order to comply with the power of his foreign relative Zhang Gui, he went to Xilin Academy to study as a Jinshi, saying that there was a place of real knowledge. Then when he came back, he submitted a report to support the policy of "staying in the midst of a stake."
"And then, he was revived as the prefect of Huaiqing. Now that he has fallen into the hands of His Highness, it is also considered God's will. God's will wants His Highness to harm the people!"
Wang Yongguang started talking at this time.
As he said that, he said again: "In the opinion of a minister, such betrayal villains should no longer be regarded as scholars and officials. They should sleep on their skin and eat their flesh, which will make the rebellious parties around the tyrants frightened!"
When talking about these reformists, conservative civil officials such as Wang Yongguang hated them so much that they were tiring.
At this time, Mao Yujian also said: "That's right! When they dig out their hearts, this will make such a treacherous minister and villain reincarnate, even if they are unintentional, it is better than having a black heart like now!"
Zhu Changqing: "Rely on the actions of all my beloved ministers! When Xia Yunyi is captured in the future, Gu will eat his flesh and drink his blood! Let him dare to propose such a bad policy as letting the vassal king pay food to serve as a servant! He passed on the orders of the king of Gu, who can capture Xia Yunyi will offer a reward of 50,000 taels of silver!"
...
"The king of Lu is ordered to come down and we will escort the dog official Tu Yiheng into the capital! Lu Wang and others will peel him and eat his flesh!"
Huaiqing Prefecture Wen County County.
Cheng Jinyuan, the son of the juren Cheng Hushen, reported to Cheng Hushen the king's orders of Zhu Changqing.
After hearing this, Cheng Hushen couldn't help but slamming the table and said excitedly: "It's just my wish! Such a vicious official should be like this!"
"You immediately arrange for someone to put a hundred pounds of shackles on him and escort Wei Hui to meet King Lu!"
"The other county magistrates who were arrested from Xilin Academy, the chief officials, were directly cut off from all the township heroes in the county! Since they were going to restructure, they would change them first!"
"yes!"
Cheng Jinyuan agreed and said, "In addition, His Highness Lu also ordered the king to be ordered, saying that anyone who captured the treacherous minister Xia Yunyi, the governor of Henan, would be rewarded with 50,000 taels of silver!"
After hearing this, Cheng Hushen said, "Even if I don't reward me, I will try my best to catch this traitor who is extremely guilty!"
"Fifty thousand taels! This Lu King really respects Xia."
Outside Wen County.
After Xia Yunyi looked at the secret report from Xichang Seizuo about Lu Wang taking a reward of 50,000 taels of silver to capture him, he just smiled faintly, and then looked at the peasants and soldiers all over the mountains behind him and ordered:
"Listen to my order! As soon as the signal gun sounds, all the cities will be attacked!"
"After rushing in, according to the plan, we should go to save people, and the Zhancheng Gate at the city gate, and the arresting people. After completing the task, the county government reported to the official, and then began to prepare for liquidation and land division."
"yes!"
After hearing this, Lu Cheng, the army enlisted by Xia Yunyi, said to the people behind him: "Pay the words of Zhongcheng."
After a long time, just dawned that day and when the morning light was dim, Xia Yunyi released a signal flare.
Suddenly, peasants and soldiers all over the mountains rushed towards Wenxian County.
"If you want to divide the land, you will follow me!"
And the ones rushing in front were the guards of the peasant soldiers.
These guards were veterans who had retired from the military school due to injuries. They are now arranged to serve as peasant soldiers instructors in the local area, and they served as garrison officers in wartime, and led the peasant soldiers to maintain local order.
But now because of the rebellion of Lu Wang and conquering the city and territorial areas, Xia Yunyi organized these peasant soldiers to regain lost territory with his battalion.
However, in order to train peasant soldiers, Xia Yunyi basically did not use his regular soldiers in the camp first when siege, but let the peasant soldiers attack the city first. At the same time, it was also to minimize the number of casualties in his camp. Only when the battle was in a stalemate would he let the camp be dispatched and then reverse the situation.
When the battalions attacked the city, they would shout that they wanted to divide the land and follow me.
Because based on practical experience, these peasant soldiers organized by refugees care about the most is the distribution of land.
The land is the easiest to inspire morale when you win, and it is better than giving money.
According to Zhang Gui's instructions, Xia Yunyi would liquidate the gentry and powerful people in the area when he regained lost lands captured by rebels.
Basically, most of the land of the gentry and powerful will be confiscated, and these gentry and powerful people and their family slaves and local brave men will also be liquidated and executed.
In this way, a lot of land will be vacant and this land will be directly distributed to refugees who join the peasant army.
According to Zhang Gui and Xia Yunyi, since the gentry would rather support the rebels than support the reform of the new policy, they could only organize the people to implement the new policy in the form of revolution, that is, to organize the people to use violence directly.
The firearms used by the farmers and soldiers of Xia Yunyi were not bad. They were all turtledove guns, sky thunder, cloth armor, small cannons and other weapons provided by Xishan Industrial Department. They were well-made and powerful.
There is an entire industrial system behind their violent actions.
On the contrary, the reactionary gentry who chose to support the rebels had their own rural bravery, but there was no industrial system behind them supporting them. Their ordnance and gunpowder were all purchased.
The same is true for the rebels, most of them are rural brave men organized by local gentry themselves.
It was only after accepting the appointment of Lu Wang Zhu Changqing that he transformed into the Jingnan army that ate the king's grain.
At this time, the troops guarding Wen County seemed ineffective when they encountered peasant soldiers.
When Cheng Hushen's nephew Cheng Jincai, who was then a rebel thousand-household official in Wen County, just heard the shouts of killing and rushed to the city wall, he saw a large number of peasant soldiers climbing up through a ladder, holding a brand new goose-feather sword, which was poking the butt of the country hero under his command, while his country braves were running towards him with inferior waist knives with many gaps.
"The government army is here?"
Seeing this, Cheng Youcai asked, quickly turned around and ran away. He stretched his feet a few times in panic before successfully stepping on the stirrups. Then, with the help of a servant beside him, he got on the horse and ran towards the Cheng family compound.
Cheng Hushen was escorting Tu Yiheng and two scholars from Xilin Academy who were appointed as the county magistrate of Wen County in this station cage cart. When he saw Cheng Youcai running over with a crooked armor, he hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"
Cheng Jincai hurriedly said, "Second brother, the official army is coming in! Take your uncle and run away."
"What?!"
Cheng Hushen was shocked after hearing this.
At this time, the peasants and soldiers rushed over.
Cheng Hushen was so scared that he knelt on the ground and shouted tremblingly: "Welcome to the King!"
Cheng Jincai also knelt down.
Soon, the peasants and soldiers controlled the entire Wen County. Xia Yunyi also came here after dawn with the Biao Camp. Seeing that Tu Yiheng had been beaten to pieces, the two of them who were from Xilin Academy were also covered in bruises, and they lowered their faces and said, "Check them down immediately!"
