Chapter 166: The Arrival of the Volunteers
Rumors are flying all over the county, the head of the Chen family has a gloomy face, walking back and forth with his hands behind his back, last time those short-haired thieves killed his son, he was not ready to help his son take revenge, and now those short-haired thieves are here again, I heard that the population of the county will be arrested.
Chen Wenzhao's face was blue, feeling aggrieved, and he was aggrieved, but he also knew that even if he added three people from the family, he couldn't beat those people, and since he couldn't beat them, he could only choose to leave.
The other two families don't know how to deal with what may happen tomorrow, but Chen Wenzhao doesn't dare to bet, or that he was scared of being killed by the volunteers last time, the kind of courage of the volunteers is not something that the guardian can deal with at all, he can't fight, he can't escape, he doesn't have the ability to deal with those thieves, but he can go to Guangzhou Mansion to complain.
A group of thieves plagued the county, hoping that the adults who went to Guangzhou Mansion would send troops to encircle and suppress these thieves, saying that when Chen Wenzhao had the government pressing on his head before, he hoped that the people of the government would better disappear and let them make the Chen family a soil emperor in the county, but I didn't expect that there would be such a day.
But after such a day, he found that the matter had completely lost his control, without the official government to preside over the matter, the county was in a mess, and the thieves came and went freely last time, not because there was no one to guard the city gate.
Chen Wenzhao sat on the main seat weakly, because the news just now, it is better to believe it than not to believe it, Chen Wenzhao decided to pack up his valuables overnight and go outside to hide, everything is about his family and life, if the rumors are false news, just ask clear in a few days and come back.
The Chen family controls one and a half percent of the land near the county seat, don't look at one and a half percent of the land, think about it, just the three of them have mastered nearly fifty percent of the fertile land, and there are still some talents, adding up to the number of people, the county town is more than sixty percent of the fertile land, and less than forty percent is left for the government to collect taxes.
Saying this is to show that the Chen family has a lot of good land, and the good land shows that there is a lot of grain, and the Chen family has more than 300,000 stone of grain, so much grain is sold to merchants in the north, and now there are more than 200,000 stone of grain in stock, so much grain, I want to move it overnight, unless Chen Wenzhao can invite the gods to come over to help, otherwise with the current means of transportation, I can only say hehe.
Soon, Chen Wenzhao packed up a big box of land deeds, the land deeds were stacked, this is the accumulation of generations of ancestors, for these land deeds, I don't know how many people have been unjustly killed, how many people have been unjustly killed Chen Wenzhao is too lazy to care, and those untouchables are dead when they die.
The housekeeper came over, "Master, do you want to bring the little people in the house?" ”
Chen Wenzhao waved his hand, "I can't control her, if the rumors are false, I'll come back in a few days to do something!" ”
Shan Chuan's son is gone, Chen Wenzhao can only take advantage of his youth, and quickly have another one, he has eight concubines, all of whom can't lay eggs have long been suspended, Xinna's concubine is delicate and cute, she has reached the age of thirteen, and she is a beauty embryo at first glance, Chen Wenzhao wants to officially accept her as a concubine tomorrow, but unfortunately God is not beautiful, so she can only give up, and it is important to save her life.
Taking advantage of the fact that the sky was not dark, Chen Wenzhao took the guards and finances and left the county seat for refuge.
By the next day, he had already followed the official road and rushed to Guangzhou Mansion, because only a big city like Guangzhou Mansion could give him a sense of security, which was an important place for the imperial court, and unless there were more than 100,000 thieves, it was possible to break through, and he was not afraid of thieves coming.
Chen Wenzhao is a lifter, he is a literati, the literati of the Ming Dynasty have a common problem, they have always looked down on these soldiers in peacetime, and when they are in danger, they think that the soldiers will block the knife for them, and try to ask if there is such a good thing.
The low city walls, the dilapidated city gates, and I don't know how many years have not been repaired, this is the county seat that Zijian saw.
There was not a single guard on the wall, and I didn't know where to flee!
Not far away, there was a large group of people talking about it, those people came out with the craftsmen who came back yesterday, and they didn't see the arrival of the volunteers, they were suspicious, until the volunteers appeared as kings, those people shut up, and secretly luckily came out.
Seeing that the volunteers were neatly lined up and the spears were like a forest, they knew that they were not easy to mess with, they were all honest and responsible people, and it would be difficult for them to confront them.
Since I saw the appearance of the volunteers, the rumors brought back by the craftsmen that the people outside the city who couldn't say that they would be tied up and taken away, rather than being arrested, it was better to take the initiative to order it themselves, and the people who came out now already laughed at the people who couldn't come out of the city in their hearts.
Seeing the city defense with no one stationed, Zijian guessed that it was unlikely that there would be a fierce battle.
"Li Xi took his brothers to take care of the four city gates, I gave them a chance, and the people who haven't come out yet have been arrested by me."
Although he has not been to the county seat, Zijian has already known the general situation of the county through Zhang Lin, and before the people in the county have reacted, he blocked the city gate first, hum, yesterday they should have known the choice given to them by the volunteers, but they did not come out of the city, then there is nothing to say, close the door, release the volunteers, and arrest people.
Li Shi, Zhang Lin, and Niu Sheng, each with two hundred people, ran forward and rushed to the other three city gates, this time Zijian didn't care whether the people in the county wanted to or not.
In the big picture, or Zijian stands on the moral high ground and asks the people to do things for him, of course, he will not treat the people who do things for him, do things for Zijian, let Zijian develop faster, and when Zijian achieves a high position in the future, he will definitely give back, and now the remaining Nanming is struggling to resist Li Zicheng's army in the north, and soon the Tartars in the northeast will go south, scourge China for hundreds of years, and let the Chinese people fall from the world hegemon for thousands of years to become a weak country that is bullied by other countries at will.
When the Tartars ruled the land of China, the hundreds of people in Europe supported the hundreds of years, stepping on the whole world, and the world of later generations was almost all the world of whites, and the Chinese people could only live in a corner of East Asia. If it weren't for Zijian's later generations, he would have had the artifact of Zhenguo early on, the "atomic bomb", which ensured the safety of the Chinese people and was not afraid of the nuclear threat of others.
Now that the Ming Dynasty has not been ruled by the Tartars, the Ming Dynasty still has advantages in many aspects, if Zijian can sort out the situation of the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible, and take the Chinese people and the white people of Europe to compete for land around the world and expand the living land of the Chinese people.
As long as Zijian stabilizes the chaos of the Ming Dynasty, he will let the white people know what the crowd tactics are.
Now the Ming Dynasty has the most civilized and intelligent people, as long as Zijian gives them a suitable stage, there will be nothing to do with white people on the earth in the future, and after the Ming people run to other places, they will not be protected by the powerful regime and let those natives bully.
The imperial court will not care about the lives and deaths of the people who have left the land of the Ming Dynasty.
On the contrary, when white Europeans explored the world, the British pirate shooting, which had no state support, had the support of the British government behind it.
There are so many people in Daming, why rely on him Zijian, can't other people do it!
It's simple, because at present, only Zijian has this kind of global awareness, and he knows the future development context.
If you find a great Ming man and tell him that the earth is round, will anyone believe it?
The thinking of the Ming people, or the thinking of the imperial court, was only limited to the region of East Asia, and their understanding of the rest of the world was limited.
Zijian has a chance, as long as he is given time to develop and grow, he will be able to expand his territory with the Chinese people in the future, and have an opportunity to expand the land where the Chinese people live.
If Zijian wants to develop, it is inseparable from the support of the people, if Zijian offers rich conditions in Zhangjia Village to attract the people to come, it is not impossible, but this speed is too slow, so Zijian came directly, first arrest all the people to Zhangjia Village, and then say, when the time comes to see such good conditions in Zhangjia Village, those people who were arrested will naturally have no grievances, and those craftsmen will not eliminate their grievances like this.
In the end, the craftsmen gave them freedom, and they did not run away, and obediently worked in Zhangjia Village.
On a small scale, Zijian is a bandit, catch some people to do things for him, so that he can live a free life, live a life of waiting for death, whether he can lead the volunteers to rob around the world, it depends on whether he can succeed in the future.
The arrival of the volunteers doomed the temporary decline of the county seat, and it was said that it was temporary, because after a large number of people were evacuated, there was a group of old people left, and it was impossible to count on them to maintain the county seat.
If the county wants to develop again, it will only be possible to recover again after the volunteers have grown and a large number of people have been relocated from other places.
