Chapter 239: To form a prairie fire, the gentry will turn against each other!

Zhao Yan could see at a glance that Zhou Neng suddenly lost his composure and beat Huang Binqing, undoubtedly deliberately creating an opportunity for Zhang Gui to deal with him, and giving Huang Binqing, a civil leader who had already controlled millions of people through Xilin Shizi.

This allows Zhang Gui to destroy his relatives for the sake of justice, that is, dealing with Zhou Neng, to achieve the goal of making Huang Binqing and other Xilin scholars respect Zhang Gui more.

Because Zhang Gui did this to tell Huang Binqing that this marquis dared to punish even his own servants for his crimes. Shouldn't you be convinced by this marquis?

Zhou Neng did have such thoughts and suddenly vented his resentment towards Huang Binqing.

So, after hearing Zhao Yan say this, he smiled bitterly: "Mido praises me! The young man has no other ability except to do some loyal things for his uncle."

"The more you do this, the more you need to use it."

Zhao Yan said with a smile.

He knew that although Zhou Neng was fired from the clan team by Zhang Gui, Zhou Neng must still be thinking about Zhang Gui. After all, everything was brought by people like Zhou Neng. Apart from Zhang Gui, he had no valuable social background or social relationship.

Even if he used Zhou Neng to deepen the relationship with Zhang Gui, this would undoubtedly help him to rely on Zhang Guojiu in the future and go further in his career.

...

Here, Zhang Guowei, who was beside Zhang Gui, also told Huang Binqing why Zhou could beat him: "Li Yulan and several personal soldiers around him betrayed the country's uncle. In Zhou Neng's opinion, the fundamental reason was that you implemented the equal-field and equal-service without the consent of the country's uncle, which led to people within the Guards who were unwilling to do all this to happen."

"I see."

After hearing this, Huang Binqing suddenly realized and said, "After hearing about the murder of the uncle, we also guessed that we might have done too much. But in fact, we just asked the court to take the steps of reform and reform at the beginning, and we didn't expect it to happen. Fortunately, the uncle was extremely clever and was not harmed by traitors. Otherwise, we would have been very guilty!"

Zhang Guowei said: "Even so, my uncle has not blamed you. The servants who have been raising me for many years have beaten you for the master's family and uphold justice for you. It can be seen that my uncle is willing to support you in his heart. But you must not act arbitrarily in the future, and be sure to listen to what my uncle said in advance."

Huang Binqing is now full of respect and gratitude to Zhang Gui, and wishes to kneel in front of Zhang Gui immediately and bow a few times. He has to admit that Zhang Guojiu is indeed generous and tolerant enough to these Xilin scholars, so he nodded and said:

"Of course! How dare we do things randomly without the consent of our uncle in the future? Isn't this equivalent to deceiving our masters and destroying our ancestors!"

"Actually, even if the uncle of the country does not punish Zhou Neng today, we have no complaints. This time, the uncle of the country was almost killed in Qingjiangpu. It is indeed our fault to find out the reason!"

Zhang Guowei waved his hand and said, "No need to mention this matter. Uncle Guo didn't mean to blame you. He also knew that this would happen from the moment he founded Xilin Academy."

"It can only be said that opponents are too self-righteous and always think that solving one person can solve one thing. For example, the problem of increasing refugees, some court officials even think that if they kill refugees, there will be no more refugees. But how can they know that as long as there are still people going bankrupt, there will be refugees."

Zhang Guowei said again, "The essential purpose of the uncle in running Xilin Academy is to hope that he will live for the people of the world. He will not only make more people like him appear. Only one uncle Zhang, the opponent will find a way to eliminate him. But if there are many uncle Zhang, the opponents will not be able to eliminate him even if they want to. And you Xilin scholars will regard it as one of the thousands of uncles like Zhang."

"This is very true! It should be like sowing seeds, forming a prairie fire!"

Huang Binqing nodded solemnly.

Zhang Guowei continued to smile and said, "So, the uncle of the country was happy to see you Xilin scholars starting to take the initiative to organize the people to equalize the fields and equal service. He had agreed and also told Zhao Butang to carry out a thorough new policy of equal service in Jiangnan. Therefore, there must be restrictions on the land of the nobles and gentry, and the excess must be forced to be equally divided among the people."

"Very good!"

Huang Binqing couldn't help but waved his hand and asked again: "What about the senior who is equal to the field and the military service in Jiangnan?"

"Then let's go to the overseas fields evenly."

Zhang Guowei replied.

"overseas?"

"That's right! You Xilin scholars have the ability to mobilize the people and manage the people. Next, the Ming Dynasty will implement the new policy of equalizing land and uniform service after immigrating overseas, and establishing a backbone force for the new ruling region. You are not responsible for expanding the border, but only for building a new Ming Han settlement area on the new territory after expanding the border. The Hu Ben Army is responsible for expanding the border."

After returning, Zhang Guowei said: "At that time, you will be appointed by the court as prefectural magistrates, county magistrates, even magistrates, governors, governors, governors and governors overseas to manage the people of the Xinjiang border. After all, these Xinjiang borders are not strictly required to be appointed overseas, so there is no need to be a gentry first and then a juren. You can take this shortcut directly, enter the official career, and realize your ambitions!"

Huang Binqing was already a little excited after hearing this: "Being an official is second. We are not changing for fame and fortune. More importantly, we can make the people of the world rich in life. We are willing to do whatever we can do!"

Zhang Guowei nodded: "I understand. Everything must start from the current equalization of land and equalization of service in Jiangnan. By confiscating the wealth of the Jiangnan clans through equalization of land and equalization of service in Jiangnan, we will use the money collected from Jiangnan to stabilize the emperor's heart, the morale of the army and the main ministers in the court. In addition, we must also use this money to first use the opportunity of scholars in Jiangnan to further popularize education in Jiangnan, so that everyone in Jiangnan can become Xilin scholars, with independent thinking, national consciousness, and the ability to learn and express."

"Is this what the uncle means?"

Chen Zilong, who had been silent all the time, asked at this time.

Zhang Guowei nodded.

Chen Zilong suddenly slapped the table and stood up and said, "It turns out that the uncle will support us in doing this. Now that we think about it, it is not reckless to do this, but in fact it is imperative!"

Zhang Guowei smiled and said, "That's right. Next, it depends on whether these gentry in Jiangnan should take the initiative to give in or wait for forced equalization of land and equalization of service."

Not long after Zhang Guowei and Huang Binqing and Chen Zilong chatted, they brought the two of them to meet Zhang Gui.

After Zhang Gui said a few words of encouragement to the two of them, the two rushed back to Wuxi and began to follow Zhang Gui's instructions to mobilize the troops in Xilin Township to attack the Dong family in Wujiang.

Zhang Gui himself also led the Guards to Wujiang.

Wujiang Dong's mansion.

Dong Tingsong had already learned about the loss of Hushu Pass, and he also guessed that Zhang Gui must have led the army on the way to come, so he was already worried about it, and he couldn't help but say to Li Yulan:

"Although we benefited the tribe and retrained the tribe, it was still difficult to deal with these Xilin Township soldiers, and Hushu Pass was still taken back by them. Next, when the army of the treacherous minister Zhang Gui arrived, it would undoubtedly be easy to capture Wujiang City. What should we do?"

Li Yulan also regretted it very much at this time. He never expected that he would enter such a bad situation after betraying Zhang Gui.

The nobleman Zhang Guojiu, who was supporting himself, did not train a landlord group that he had been burned to death, but even used all his strength to build. He actually suffered consecutive failures shortly after defeating the Xilin Township soldiers for the first time.

So he was a little discouraged now and had to say to Dong Tingsong: "The younger generation did not expect that the soldiers of Xilin Township would suddenly be equipped with flintlock rifles, and we lost to them in terms of industrial skills. So, Hushu Pass was not taken down now. As for Zhang Guojiu, the younger generation did not expect that he would still be alive. Now it seems that there is no other way, so we can mobilize more gentry in the city to resist to the end!"

"Dong Tingsong! You traitor! You dare to participate in the murder of the country and train your troops in private. Why do you have to cause trouble for these nine tribes? Why do you have to implicate the people of Wujiang?"

At this time, the shouts of Zhou Shunchang, a representative of Suzhou gentry, came from outside Wujiang City.

As Zhang Gui led his army to approach Suzhou, many officials and gentry in Suzhou have taken the initiative to choose to reverse the situation and take the initiative to equalize their own fields. They even came outside Wujiang City and scolded Dong Tingsong.

Zhou Shunchang is one of them.
