The old servant was also shocked, and said to the people who came up: "Our uncle went to the Huai'an Mansion and the county government first, but the government and county did not accept the presentation or the form, and directly threw it back in the court...... The uncle later inquired about the same year and found out that now the prefecture and county yamen have no time to pay attention to other things! Caozhou Liu took over the Huai'an city defense and Shanyang counties, and now the prefect and the lords of the counties are forced by the Shandong soldiers to be on errands, looking for houses as barracks, grain, salt and vegetables, weapons, everything has to be supplied by the local ......

Liu Zeqing is indeed trying to seize Yangzhou, but Shi Kefa is obviously impossible to give such a critical place as Yangzhou to this kind of warlord who has no integrity and the slightest cheek, Yangzhou is the most important place in Jiangbei, whether it is Liu Liangzuo or Huang Degong, the two generals Shi Kefa can't believe it, and will only put some minor general troops to lead the troops to garrison, which will be controlled by the imperial court himself. But Liu Zeqing, Gao Jie, and Liu Liangzuo were unwilling, and all three of them were secretly trying to fight for Yangzhou, and after grabbing Yangzhou, they became their own garrisons.

Wang Mingyuan came to Huai'an at such a time, and the local government and county were in chaos, who would pay attention to this kind of case?

"The uncle ran to the house, so he was ruthless, saying that there was no reason to believe it." The old servant shook his head and sighed, and continued: "Since our Dahewei command yamen is occupied by the battalion soldiers, the uncle heard that the person stationed in the command yamen is a general named Li Huajing, who is a close general of Caozhou Liu, so he took the post to Baimen to ask for a meeting, and wanted to ask this Li Jiangye to preside over justice...... As a result, the soldiers guarding the door ignored it at all, and the uncle was anxious, shouting in front of the door, saying that there is no king in this world, and it is impossible to do it, and without saying a word, a group of soldiers rushed over, punching and kicking, and the uncle has suffered this kind of crime since he was a child......"

All the military households were silent.

They are oppressed by military attachés, which they have long been accustomed to. The government is used to not upholding justice for the banner army and military households, and even ignoring life and death. In fact, the common people at that time did not want to deal with the government, once something happened to the government, entered the yamen, the officials to the secretary office and the old men were all good at knocking on the bones and sucking the marrow, even if the rich and middle-class families, a lawsuit was fought down at the light of bankruptcy and the heavy was broken, and the general households were clan to resolve disputes on their own, and those who wanted to die could not be solved went to the government. Military households are serfs under the rule of senior military attachés, and the government is too lazy to pay attention to the internal affairs of military households.

But Wang Mingyuan is a dignified showman, and the average state and county officials will give a little face, after all, the officials are also scholars, and being too unfair to the show will cause dissatisfaction in the same year, and the energy of a group of show talents is not small, which will affect the official reputation of the old man, and even the official career.

What happened to Wang Mingyuan in Huai'an Mansion is really amazing and embarrassing, and it is also alarming.

It seems that the world has really changed, the state and county officials no longer pay attention to the powerless talents, but like slaves for the generals to handle all kinds of logistics affairs, in the past, a county can not look at the general army at all, the imperial court conscripted troops and horses to go on the expedition, did not give food when the promotion, and there were various rules for eating halfway, and all the supplies were controlled by the civilian officials. These bastards didn't even give food to the Qinwang soldiers from Shaanxi and Shanxi who came from afar in the second year of Chongzhen! The border soldiers worked hard for thousands of miles, starving and guarding under the city of Beijing, and finally forced a large number of border troops to gather and mutiny, and many border soldiers became the main force in the rogues. As a result, in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the situation was reversed, and a general soldier like Liu Zeqing became the emperor in Huai'an, and he didn't look at the local civil officials at all, and what if Wang Mingyuan was beaten by a showman, that Li Shenjun didn't look at Xiucai at all, and even fought first, what can be done?

Wang Mingyuan, even if he finds a few in the same year, what can he do? Even the state and county officials are completely subservient to the soles of the generals' boots, and the likes of Xiucai or people have no influence on the generals.

It's also embarrassing to think about, the Dengzhou Wuqiao Mutiny that year, one is that Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng and others are unwilling to help the Daling River, the Dongjiang soldiers have been in the rear of Houjin for many years, before Mao Wenlong's death, Dongjiang Town has not dared to fight with the Eight Banners head-on, and the soldiers are even more depressed after his death.

In addition, after the division of Dongjiang Town, it was crowded out and suppressed, and in the first year of Chongzhen, the imperial court cut off the Dongjiang grain and salary, and starved to death many Dongjiang soldiers and people, and everyone was extremely resentful in their hearts, and Chongzhen's unfair handling of Mao Wenlong's affairs, the soldiers had long been centrifuged, and the unfair treatment in Dengzhou made the resentment even worse.

When he was ordered to go to the Daling River, the Dongjiang soldiers who were full of fear and resentment broke out because of a trivial matter, when the soldiers and horses arrived at Wuqiao, because the Liao people and the people of Shandong had a deep grudge, the soldiers and horses came to the county and the city, the soldiers were hungry and cold, and a soldier stole a chicken from the local Wang Xiangchun family servant, and then the Wang family servant caught the soldier and inserted it into the camp with arrows, and did his best to insult him. When the soldier was angry, he beheaded the servant of the royal family.

Wang Xiangchun is a prominent member of the Shandong family, and he can't tolerate this matter, so he entered the barracks to ask for the rebels, demanding to find out the truth and deal with the rebels strictly.

Li Jiucheng's father and son had long wanted to rebel, and took advantage of the fact that the soldiers in the camp were sad and resentful, and directly mutinied, and looted in Wuqiao, thus opening the prelude to the Dengzhou Rebellion.

The death of the Ming Dynasty, the Xiaoice period, the financial bankruptcy, the internal and external difficulties of the two-front war, all kinds of self-destruction of the Great Wall, these are not to mention, the direct cause of the destruction is not the battle of the Daling River, nor the battle of Songjin, nor the battle of Kaifeng siege, but the battle of Dengzhou after the Wuqiao mutiny.

The destruction of Shandong and the losses caused by the Wuqiao Mutiny do not need to be mentioned, the loss of tens of thousands of elite soldiers is also a trivial matter, and the losses of Sun Yuanhua and Portuguese technicians can also be compensated, and the most unacceptable thing is that Kong Youde, Geng Jingzhong, Shang Kexi and others brought over a large number of craftsmen and sailor ships, as well as a large number of sailor soldiers.

From then on, the benefits of the Eight Banners and the Ming Dynasty were not discussed, and the Northern Sailors were completely finished. And Sun Yuanhua's experiment on the firearms army presided over in Denglai also came to an abrupt end.

Tens of thousands of elites, artillery construction technology, and the loss of the suspension of firearms, plus thousands of miles of red land, Chongzhen's six-year mutiny seems to be because of a chicken on the surface, but in fact, it is the stubbornness of Emperor Chongzhen, the bullying and arrogance of the gentry officials to the generals, and the gradual fermentation of the Mao Wenlong incident, which caused the evil consequences.

When everyone was talking, Wang Mingyuan opened his eyes and said angrily: "This matter was triggered by Min trying 100 households, and our 100 households were robbed of grain, and my father was trapped, so he had to give us an explanation." ”

……

"What's the fuss?" Hearing the noise on the other side of the official hall, Chen De, an honest middle-aged man, stood up and looked in the direction of the official hall, muttering in his mouth, with an obvious uneasy look on his face.

Many craftsmen sat in front of the yard and chatted, and the twilight was getting deeper, and after a little more dinner, they were ready to go to bed.

Surrounded by the unique smell of freshly laid straw and freshly smeared mud, there was also a smell of mud.

People don't dislike it, these people are crammed into small dilapidated houses in the city, and there are good houses, but they can't live in them.

The children gradually became familiar with the people, and ran crazy with the children of the military households every day, because they could eat on the construction site every day, and they still received four liters of grain, and each family had some grain in the past ten days, which was obviously a loophole.

Because of this, Min Yuanqi asked everyone if they wanted to go back to Suocheng, and all the craftsmen almost did not hesitate to say that they would not return, and they were willing to stay in the hundred households.

Since they are considering staying and taking root, the craftsmen are of course also concerned about the affairs of the hundred households. Everyone is not stupid, those who are craftsmen must be proficient in calculations, and their hands must be skillful, and the fools will be able to work as small workers at most, and those who are shrewd and smart enough can become big workers.

Now that Min Baihu has encountered a problem, everyone is also undecided, it is already late, everyone stays outside to sit and talk, just to comfort each other.

It's a great place.

The prospects for the future are very good, these hundred households will be the richest place in ten miles and eight townships, with the benevolence of Min Baihu to everyone, the craftsmen estimate that their families will not be bad in the future...... It's good now!

In front of him is a large yard, dozens of elm trees and mulberry trees are scattered around the yard, which has been smoked green, and it is very gratifying to look at.

Behind him were rows of houses, although they were closer, and each house had no courtyard, and considering that it was originally a barracks, there was nothing to say about this defect. Besides, each family is divided into five rooms, and when a large family was originally crammed into two broken houses, how could they have imagined that they could live in such a spacious and beautiful atmosphere?

The straw on the roof is newly paved, although the general flag surnamed Han has a black face, he is quite serious in doing things, the grass is very thick, and the mud is also evenly smeared.

Eat is also full, although there is no oil meat, but every few days hundreds of adults will let people go to the sea to catch a fish, the fish is not easy to catch, but oysters, crabs and other sea things are not a lot, plus brown rice cooked together, the taste is extremely delicious, ten days down, the children of each family are obviously fat on their faces, not to say that they have become little fat, but they used to be thin and skeletons, and now they are some normal children.

Of course, everyone wanted to continue to live such a day, and when there was any movement in the village, everyone stood up and looked in the direction of the official hall.

Someone ran over to inquire around, and when he came back, he said: "It's Wang Xiucai, the little one of the 400th household, who was beaten in Fucheng, and came back to the official hall to find trouble with Min Baihu." ”
