Chapter 84 The Shaxian Civil Rebellion

The imperial court has the difficulties of the imperial court, the localities have local difficulties, and the small people also have the difficulties of the small people.

It's just that even if the court has difficulties, it is still the court, and even if the local government has difficulties, it is also the government, but the difficulties of the small people cannot be solved, so they don't have to be people.

Either be a ghost or a thief.

And the people of Shaxian County, it is time to make life and death decisions at this moment.

There is a river in Shaxian County, called Shaxi, which is not big, almost in the Wuyi Mountains, and the Daiyun Mountains between a long and narrow flat land.

This long and narrow piece of flat land is the main agricultural area of Shaxian County.

And a big flood flooded all the place, and hundreds of people died in the flood.

Sometimes those who die in the flood are lucky. Because their death is only a sudden, and it will not be much pain. And the living will face cruel torture.

First of all, the rations are gone. Although after the summer, eating wild vegetables, roots, and bark, I was able to survive for more than a month. But what's left to do?

Even the bark of the grass roots has been eaten.

If it is said that the imperial court deliberately neglected Shaxian, it is wrong. If the flood in Shaxian County is a little more serious and spreads to several counties, the people above are estimated to pay a little more attention.

However, only one county in Shaxian County reported flooding.

Under such circumstances, almost all local officials let Shaxian County handle it themselves, and exempt the taxes for this year and next year.

Under normal circumstances, the local government of Daming still has a lot of money and grain, and the grain in the county treasury can be supported for a few months.

During this time, the prefectural order will ask the government for relief.

Naturally, the above will send people, usually the same knowledge and the like, after all, some county orders are not without false reports and concealments.

There is a process for government to run.

Modern governments run like that, and it is not nonsense to expect how efficient the conquests of antiquity were.

When Zhu Qizhen reviewed the folds, many of them asked for exemption from last year's taxes, just because this set of processes was completed and reported, and more than half a year had passed. Of course, the local government has also dealt with it, and it is necessary to report the account.

However, the special situation of this year lies in the fact that Yanping Mansion, as the rear of Jianning Mansion, directly supports the war in Jianning Mansion. There is no way to do it.

That is to say, before, the buffer period created by the county treasury was gone all of a sudden, which is why there are disasters in other places, and some of the imperial court relief can only arrive next year, but the relief in Shaxian County has only been completed for a month or two, and it has reached the point where it is unsustainable.

Even such a situation, Jiao Hong didn't know yet.

The paperwork for the transfer of grain and grass in Shaxian County is in a pile of documents, and who is it in the case of being busy

The stock of grain and grass at all counties can be clearly remembered.

In the West Huangzhu Pit of Shaxian County.

Huangzhukeng is a village, and at this moment, the people of all over the country gather here, waiting for a person.

This person is Deng Maoqi.

If it is said that Ye Liuzong is at the level of a gangster, when he did not rebel, he had one or two thousand miners under his command, and he was not willing to provoke him when he was idle.

And Deng Maoqi is several levels lower than Ye Liuzong. But it can't be said to be a good people.

Deng Maoqi is a native of Jiangxi, killed people in Jiangxi with his brothers, fled to Fujian, and settled in Shaxian County.

And after Ye Liuzong raised his army, Deng Maoqi also ushered him as a protector, and he was the chief protector of the twenty-four capitals.

Most places in the Ming Dynasty were in the Lijia system, but there were also a considerable number of places in the Dujia system, which was actually just a different name.

Dujia is the name set by the Song Dynasty, and generally places with few wars are retained, and this is the case in Fujian.

The twenty-four capital chief guards the armor, and it looks like the name is very long, but the official is not big, but it is at the level of the township head. But Deng Maoqi was righteous, and the people believed in him.

At this moment, everyone is about to run out of cooking, and everyone has no choice but to come to Deng Maoqi to find a way.

Dozens of big men are relatively speechless, this grain can fall from the sky, but when I think about it, my wife and children are waiting for this good news, but where is there any good news

Deng Maoqi stomped his feet, took out a bag of rice from his backyard, and said: "Brothers, this is the last bag of rice in my family, I cooked it with you brothers today, eat a full meal, if you want to live, follow me into the county, in the county, there is food." ”

"If it weren't for the reason, this last meal would be considered to be my gift to everyone."

Although there is no food in the official warehouse of Shaxian County, it is unrealistic to say that there is really no food at all in Shaxian County.

The reason is simple.

How could those gentry and wealthy families have no food?

If you open the county seat, you will definitely be able to find food.

Things have come to this point, what else can they say? If you enter, you can live a few more days, and if you are hacked to death, it is better to starve to death.

The taste of starvation and death is simply the most painful punishment in the world.

"Okay, listen to Brother Deng." I don't know who said it first.

The group brought over the last bit of food hidden in the house, and gathered 300 people, all of whom were strong men, but these 300 people gathered food, which was just a pot of porridge.

Three hundred people have one bowl, and it is already clean.

After eating the porridge, I only felt a slight warmth in my stomach, and everyone felt that they had strength, so they held all kinds of weapons, hoes and sickles

knife, Deng Maoqi carried a grass chopping guillotine in one hand and took the lead to the county seat of Shaxian County.

There is a deserted atmosphere in the entire Shaxian county, the gentry are closed at this time, not daring to go out, and the ordinary people are starving to death, try to minimize the amount of activity. I can't go out anymore.

The people who watched the city gate saw Deng Maoqi and didn't think much about it, although the twenty-four were all in general Baojia, which was about the same as a township chief. But it can also be regarded as the leading figure in Shaxian County.

The old soldier who watched the city gate also knew Deng Maoqi, and when he saw it, he greeted him: "Master Deng, are you here?" ”

Deng Maoqi said: "I'm coming, I'm coming" Deng Maoqi raised his hand and slashed at the old soldier's neck, and blood sprayed Deng Maoqi's face. Deng Maoqi's words "debt collection" have just come out.

For a while, there was an uproar in the city, and Deng Maoqi led people to rush into Shaxian, which is a small county, and the county seat is not big, so he went straight to the county government.

Some of the officials in the county government didn't know what was going on, so they were killed by Deng Maoqi.

Song Xin, the magistrate of the county, saw Deng Maoqi with two bloody guillotines, his face turned pale immediately, and he said, "Deng Baojia, what are you doing here?" ”

Deng Maoqi said: "Seek a way to live for the people." ”

"Good, good." Song Xin said again and again: "I have reported to the government office, and the government will have disaster relief food delivered in a few days." Everything is good to say, everything is good to say. ”

Deng Maoqi said: "It's a few days, we can't wait for tomorrow, so ask the county master to borrow something and give it to me." ”

As soon as Song Xin heard this, his eyes widened, and he was extremely frightened, and before he could speak, he was cut off by Deng Maoqi with a knife, and he forcibly chopped off the head.

Deng Maoqi carried the head of the county magistrate, walked out, led people to attack the mansions of the gentry, ransacked the county seat, searched out more than 1,000 stone grain, and even sent grain to each family.

For a time, the county seat, which was originally dead and silent, suddenly became lively, and hundreds of people came out of their homes and almost grabbed the food they had been distributed.

The grain of a thousand stones was distributed in just one day.

Tens of thousands of people in Shaxian County were able to survive.

Similarly, Deng Maoqi won more than 10,000 soldiers who could fight. Deng Maoqi sent people to the countryside to collect grain, after all, the big families living in the county seat are not all the rich families in Shaxian County.

In this way, the news could not be concealed, and Jianning Mansion, Fuzhou Mansion, Wei Guogong and other places knew about it almost at the same time.

Jiao Hong almost fainted when he heard this.

After the battle of Nanpuxi, Ye Liuzong led the remnants of the defeated army into the mountain, Jiao Hong thought that Ye Liuzong's rebellion was coming to an end, and there was no need to send large soldiers in the future, just post sea fishing documents everywhere, but he never expected that such a thing would happen again.

Daming this year is an eventful autumn, Fujian this year is even more unfavorable, it seems that all things have been smashed on Fujian, it seems that the rebellion of Ye Liuzong may come to an end, but the rebellion of Deng Maoqi has just begun.

If you want to be peaceful, it's still early.
