Chapter 521: The Sudden Rise of the People (Second Update, Ask for Subscription)

The dim candlelight flickered in the room, and everyone in the room sighed for a long time, and their faces were full of panic.

What to do?

Since learning that the government has cleared the military fields, whether it is the guards who have been gentry a hundred years ago, or those local gentry who have military fields under their names, they all look like they are in a panic.

There's no way, they may dare to fight in the past, but now it's not someone else who wants to clear the field, it's the killing god!

In the past, they dared to confront because the court didn't dare to do anything to them, but this master was ...... How dare you kill someone!

"Ladies and gentlemen, you still have an idea, what to do about this!"

"What should I do, Liang Ban, returning the field is death, not returning it is death, taking away people's wealth is like killing our parents, he Zhu Ciying never thought about giving us a way to live, if he is allowed to take away the field, we are really better than dead!"

"But how dare he kill! Last time he was in Nanjing......"

"Hmph, more than 100 officials, dozens of nobles, he dares to kill, but what if the people change?"

In the dim shadows, someone suddenly leaned out and snorted coldly.

"I don't believe he can kill all the people!"

Li Peikun, who spoke, was not only a hereditary commander, but also a relative of the Duke of Wei's family, although the Duke of Wei was killed by the general in the Taizu Mausoleum, and even asked for the abolition of the titles of the Duke of Wei and other Nanjing lords on the grounds of surrendering the Tartars and betraying the Ming Dynasty, but the Li family is still the Li family with 10,000 acres of fertile land.

As a commander, the Li family is even more generous than many gentry, after all, ordinary gentry still rely on official positions and fame to be exempt from taxation and exemption, but the military fields are all "no grain and white land" that do not need to pay field taxes, three salaries and other harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, as for the grain ...... I don't know how many years ago, in order to avoid the escape of military households, the convention was not paid - it has been in arrears, and pardons have been paid every three or five times.

Calculated in general, the Ming Dynasty was good to the gentry, and it was even more "excellent" to the military households, but this "excellent" benefit all fell into the stomach of a dog like the Li family, and as for the military households, they never benefited.

They are accustomed to planting no grain and white land, so they naturally will not sit idly by. After all, people die for money, birds die for food, and in order to keep their money, of course they will be desperate.

"How does Brother Li want to deal with it?"

In the past, if someone wanted to take inventory of the land, they would make a fuss, the officers would make a fuss, and the military households would also make a fuss! In the end, it was out of control, and it had to be stopped.

"Still the same as in the past?"

Li Peikun sneered:

"Of course not, if we come forward to make trouble in person, we may be in the middle of it, this time we will retreat to the back and let those military tenant farmers make trouble! Hundreds of thousands, millions of tenant farmers in Nanzhili made a fuss, I still don't believe it, he Zhu Ciying dares to kill people with a knife! ”

"Yes, yes, that's hundreds of thousands, millions of people! Does he really dare to kill them all? ”

"That's it, that's it, it's still Brother Li who has insight."

"In my opinion, if you want to make trouble, you have to launch it at the same time, and each guard will attack at the same time, so that even if he intends to suppress it, these 3,000 soldiers and horses are just a drop in the bucket ......."

"Yes, as long as there is a disturbance, there will definitely be some action on the side of the capital court at that time!"

According to past experience, once there is a civil uprising, whether it is justified or not, the imperial court will often stand on the side of the people, and there will be more than 100 civil uprisings caused by the evil officials of the Ming Dynasty.

That's why they decided to give it a try.

"The law is not responsible, this time we have to give him a lesson, let him know how good we are!"

"It's not our power, it's to let him know the people's power!"

"Yes, let him know what public opinion is and not to be humiliated!"

After everyone negotiated, they began to eat, drink and have fun under Li Peikun's instructions, and the musicians also began to perform dances, and for a while, the hall was full of singing and dancing......

……

Wang Lin is a servant in the yamen of the governor of Yingtian, although he is not an evil official, he is not a clean official. His greatest advantage is that he can distinguish between the important and the important, just like when the governor told everyone in the yamen that the general wanted to clear the field, he told his subordinates - the general will kill people.

This sentence is enough.

The Great General will kill!

Nan Zhili no one knows, even until now, Wang Lin remembers the Hou Gongzi who was executed by Ling Chi, as well as those Shangshu who had their heads cut off, and the nobles who were dismembered by knives.

Killing the honorable and killing the civil officials is like killing chickens, killing them...... Isn't that just stepping on an ant?

Gotta get serious!

In the following days, without the slightest hesitation, Wang Lin has been leading the messenger to take the fish scale book of the early years, and began to count the military fields, although the large pieces of military fields have long been divided into fragmented scattered fields, but the landmarks such as rivers and bridges have not changed.

However, in just three days, he had already counted out tens of thousands of acres of military land, and his achievements were really remarkable. He was even verbally praised by the governor.

"Old Liu Tou, everyone is working harder today, striving to clear out 5,000 acres of land, Futai said yesterday that the general is very satisfied with our progress, and when the field is cleared, the reward will definitely be indispensable to our ......."

At this moment, suddenly, the officer on the side exclaimed.

"Mr. Wang, look at the ...... over there"

When I looked up, I saw a group of people coming from Wuyangyang at the end of the official road, there were thousands of people, and they were obviously all people in Zhuangzi.

"My mother, what are they trying to do?"

Looking at these people with sticks, hoes, iron forks and other agricultural tools, although the servants were a little hairy in their hearts, but they did not flee, after all, according to the usual experience, the two sides quarreled a few words, and then the other party pretended to wave the guy in his hand, they just had to run, and when they fled, the people would throw stones at them, if they ran slowly, they would be beaten out with a few sticks and sticks......

Well, both sides in this process are "polite and courteous" and have a sense of proportion, anyway, in a word, the principle of doing things is not to see blood, and the principle of being beaten is to go back and have an explanation.

"Mr. Wang, look, let's ......"

"It's okay, just take a few hits, just have an explanation......"

Wang Lin said with a smile.

He is too familiar with this scene, when urging donations and urging grain that year, he didn't make this scene, otherwise, how do you think the arrears are in arrears, our Ming Dynasty arrears of taxes and grain are said to be gentry, but the people who can do it have always been the people, as for the gentry and old men, that is the mainstay of our Ming Dynasty!

What should we do if the people are overwhelmed and provoke a civil uprising?

Of course, it is up to the old men to appease. In this way, not only can the civil unrest be resolved, but also the tax money and food can be received. In the end, the county and the government visited the lords, and as soon as they discussed, the people were resolved, and the money and grain were also collected. A gentry is a good gentry, an official is a good official, and the people are a good citizen.

As for these errand soldiers, they are just putting on a scene in the middle.

Just like now.

"Dog thief, what are you doing!"

As soon as the leading elder came over, he shouted and asked.

"This old man, I am a member of the Yamen of the Governor of Yingtian, and I was ordered to come to count the military fields......"

"Listen, folks, this dog thief wants to measure the land and pay off the debt,"

The family members who were mixed in with the crowd immediately began to add fuel to the fire.

At the same time, he shouted loudly,

"Don't fall for them. They are talking about Qingtian, but in their bones they want to pay off their debts, and they all want to take the opportunity to make money. ”

"It's just that we people are not allowed to live, and they don't want to force us to death one by one."

The people who were instigated by these people could not distinguish between the true and the false. In a fit of rage, they directly hit those officials with sticks.

"Run, ......"

As soon as Wang Lin saw this, he immediately spread his legs and fled, if they didn't run at this time, they would wait for a while, not to mention that this was what they hoped for.

The officials ran desperately in front, and the common people chased behind, but seeing that they couldn't catch up, the common people picked up bricks from the ground, and the stones threw at them, and for a while the bricks and stones flew like raindrops.

When the stones flew, Wang Lin, who was running, felt a pain in the back of his head, and the person fell to the ground softly like noodles.
