The careerist was originally also a landlord, and when he saw that the government was so weak, he started.

With King Shaofu as a signboard, the effect is actually very good, Lu Gong at least thinks so, he doesn't know that these guys who have milk is their mother, and rich are their fathers, and they don't know how many families they have made wishes for, anyway, under his territory, all the north and south of the river have my Daming in their hearts, and they are always ready to contribute to the foundation of King Shaofu with flesh and blood.

The prefect of Huai'an smiled at this, he didn't plan to participate at all, he just wanted to wait until the term of office was up, he could climb up, and he didn't want to stay in office if he couldn't go up, so that those account books were bad for his own affairs, he was already a full man, he had no interest in taking risks and rebellions, and his career line was over, he only thought about how to make profits for his children and grandchildren, but in this era, there are many people who dare to take risks, he just wanted to perfunctory for a few days, and was seized by Lu Gong and threatened a debtor, and finally Lu Gong bought a murderer and cut off his head.

There was such a big thing on the boundary of Huai'an, and the local leaders, whether it was the officials in the county government or those who had some forces, were not blind or deaf, and they soon learned the news, and they quickly guessed who the perpetrator was.

Wang Jinsong, the magistrate of Shanyang County, attached to Guo County, was basically indifferent after learning the news, the reason is very simple, since he spent a huge amount of money to buy such a county position in Nanjing, he went to Shanyang to take office, and he couldn't actually control the head of Shanyang County at all, although when he was a talent, he didn't look down on the district and county officials, but now he has spent money to buy county officials, but still no one listens to him, but now he has a chance, and he suddenly came out, and ordered the officials in the county yamen to arrest people everywhere, dared to catch the officials up and down the prefect's yamen, saying that it was to prevent the murderer from escaping, and planned to catch all the people in the county who dared to confront him.

In this regard, although our Wang Zhixian is only a talented person, he has rich experience in framing and framing, saying that if you collude with thieves, you will collude with thieves, if you collude with the Jurchens, you will collude with the Jurchens, and if you say that you are colluding with the Jurchens, then what swords, fans, and even Japanese women found in your house are bloody evidence.

And his cooperation with Lu Gong is also very good.

In the end, the case was not solved, who killed the full of virtue, the family accumulated millions of taels of silver, and still served the well-being of the people of Huai'an, for fear that their family had too much money and the adults who were trying their best to collect taxes still did not have any whereabouts, and several of the rich people in the city enjoyed a wave of what is called the majesty of the big man.

And Huai'an around the bandits, naturally it is also an opportunity to make a fortune, although the problem of bandits has never been solved, the officers and soldiers in charge of suppressing the soldiers and villagers are not much better than those giant thieves, along the way is also the local people burning, killing and looting, coupled with their frequent killing and risking achievements, so that the people's hearts are greatly lost, the people who originally supported the government to suppress bandits saw the officials and soldiers acting like this, so they simply turned to help those rogues to ventilate and report the news, so that the government's bandits are more and more unfavorable, and they have been ambushed by the pole several times, was beaten and fled back to Huai'an.

However, if the government wants to suppress bandits, it can collect taxes and donations, although it is a showman, but as a bottom, it knows how to exploit poor ghosts who are as poor as themselves than those high-ranking officials.

The rich gentry became a big official, that is, they exploited the common people, dressed in rags, barely ate bran and vegetables for a year, rewarded a little white flour for the New Year, starved to death, but occasionally a little extra leftovers were given to you, and the poor Xiucai became an official, but he understood how the common people possessed a little more things, and even the last grain of rice and the last piece of cloth in the hands of the common people had to be plundered.

Although there are more and more bandits, but there are more and more displaced people, the satisfied Lu Gong took the opportunity to put a table with a little food, recruited soldiers, he also knows some things about how to rebel, he already has a son-in-law of Shaofu Wang, although he is a little fat and stupid, but it is easy to control, and Wang Zhixian, who has a sweetness, eats the marrow and knows the taste, and it is even more cooperative, so although there are many ancient boys and rebels in Huai'an, but in these years, which state and county have such a similar pole, and it doesn't hurt or itch if there are more lice.

Although there is no support from a large number of officials and soldiers, with the help of the Lu family's stock, the vast number of displaced people is really ...... You can eat it. Wang Jinsong also became excited, those giant thieves have been entrenched here for a long time, and many people also want to have a peaceful birthday, isn't it said in the Water Margin, killing people and setting fires are recruited, killing people and setting fires to rob money and robbing women, so while declaring that they want to suppress bandits, asking everyone to pay money to him who temporarily represents the power of the Huai'an prefect, on the other hand, there are really a few more bandits in his team, oh no, it is a righteous man in the rivers and lakes.

Why bother to destroy them? Even if it is a lowly villager and an officer and soldier, if he goes out to do things and dies, he needs to give a little compensation, and after a few battles, he owes a lot of debts, so he has no interest in continuing to do this kind of thankless work.

Anyway, this situation exists in all places, and his Huai'an terrain is even more complicated, and then he is not sure about the bandits, so Wang Jinsong simply learned many methods of collusion between officials and bandits, and turned a blind eye.

As long as these poles are okay and don't make too much noise, come to hit Shanyang County, his attached Guo County, then they can do whatever they want in the mountains!

Later, Wang Zhixian, who tasted the sweetness, oh no, now he has proclaimed himself the prefect of Huai'an, as long as he gives some money to the above, this is not difficult, I heard that there is a pole in the south of the county, killing a Zheng butcher, Wang Jinsong only sneered a few times, and said a little vulgarly: "Let them fight!" It's good to hit the dog's brain! We don't care about the black and black things, as long as they don't come to disturb the county, they can do whatever they like! ”

At the same time, he seemed to think of something, "Zheng Tu doesn't know how to honor this master on weekdays, but when he dies, there is always a little lady left, delicate and pitiful, and needs to be taken care of, as well as those fields and fields, they are all good deals, no, the yamen also has to take a bite!" ”

With Wang Jinsong's tone, the inspection in charge of the local armed forces naturally did not intend to care about this matter, but was thinking about how to make a fortune, and everyone looked at this problem with the intention of watching jokes.

However, soon all kinds of terrible news came, only in Huai'an, Qinghe County had two families claiming that they were now raising troops for King Lu, while the Yancheng family claimed to be the vanguard appointed by King Tang, and there were many such figures, Wang Jinsong was a little nervous, and Duke Lu seemed to be unhurried, forced to the door, and asked him to cooperate with the preparation of the banner of King Fu.

"Rebellion? How is this possible? How many people are there here, and there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers at every turn, and with a light move, we will be all finished, or wait for the adults in Nanjing to make a decision. Wang Jinsong was confused, a little unable to believe that this was true, and after asking several times in a row, he perfunctory Lu Gong, but Lu Gong immediately knelt down and licked it as soon as Lu Gong threatened slightly.

Since Wang Jinsong joined the faction that supported King Fu, he naturally took the lead, first of all, he organized a team of homeless people who could be caught, and then slapped his thigh, only to know what was going on with those people, after gathering 20,000 people, he directly claimed 200,000, which was simply the conscience of the late Ming Dynasty.

After all, for the gentry in Jiangnan, there is money, but they don't like to spend it because of their habits, and it doesn't cost a few to buy out the bandits to be the founding heroes.

On the other hand, in the townships of Huai'an counties, including Shanyang County, how many princes have waved their flags to recruit troops at this time, which also presents a very good-looking picture, at least the local tide of refugees has eased, although the local people are still very uneasy, can these Zhu kings be as they blow, after ascending the throne and becoming emperor, the people's hearts are wanting, and the elders of the imperial capital have turned their backs, and they still do not lose the reward of the marquis.

But if you think about it carefully, if you leave the homeland where they have lived for countless generations just because of fear, many people are still reluctant in their hearts, so they hold the idea of waiting and seeing, and the people begin to settle down and return to their own homes.

From the dragon, this thing is a technical job.

Some people choose the wrong master, the lord is too stupid and stupid, or he is a small-bellied chicken intestine, nepotism, and did not die at the hands of the enemy, but he was killed by the master, and he has the vision, through the layers of fog, to understand who is the true dragon emperor, who is the stepping stone for the true dragon emperor, it is necessary to have wisdom and strength.

And timing is also a problem, when Zhu Yuanzhang just went alone, dozens of people, more than a dozen guns, the team has just opened, you have thousands of horses, a mature industrial system, and defected in the past, this is refuge or annexation, Zhu Yuanzhang is not too late to prepare knives, guns and sticks to fire and merge you.

And how to distinguish who is the future ruler of the self-proclaimed army of 888 million on an equal footing with the science preached by the Presbyterian Church is basically an unsolvable problem.

Even in the 21st century, all kinds of scams are emerging one after another, in fact, the reason is simple, cost.

In any year, there are too many scammers, and there are not enough fools, scammers need to alert each other to the police in order to maintain their market share, and a person starts to face countless scams from the morning, and to solve a scam, you have to study countless information, don't do anything else on this day.

For scammers, texting a million people, responding to a thousand people, and believing a hundred people, one person who sends money is enough to support himself and send the money back to the crook.

Therefore, a traverser, if he goes back to the end of the Ming Dynasty where the Council of Elders is located, and rises in the countryside of Jiangnan, he will find that the situation he is facing is that there are all kinds of miscellaneous voices, "Master Huang of this county recruits troops, but he gives white-faced steamed buns, saying that he wants to be the king of Qin and support the Ming Dynasty, and he will have the court to eat." ”

"The emperor ascended the throne in Suzhou, Master Qian went, got the title of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the whole family celebrated, set up a flowing water seat at the door, and went together."

"Good news, my Ming official army, today in Shandong and another gain, eliminate the imperial capital demons 3 million, kill the imperial capital of the pseudo-elders 200 people, the seizure is not counted, this all depends on the reign of the Son of Heaven, the people are in the dynasty, the total number of meritorious soldiers in this battle is ......"

"This county has captured countless demons today, and its propaganda that the earth is round and other demons have been captured by the county government, in order to listen, standing in the cage at the gate of the county government for three days, only half a day, the demon has died, it can be seen that its declaration, give me investment, I will burn glass to you and other absurdity of lies, everywhere Li Shu work with peace of mind, pay taxes for the imperial court, do not have the heart of Jieyue, do not think of peace of mind farming."

In other words, the difficulty of information dissemination is high, the cost of rumor-mongering is incredibly low, and the difficulty of verifying rumors is also sky-high.

For example, in that year, Hong Chengchou was defeated and captured in the battlefield of Liaodong, Emperor Chongzhen dropped out of the dynasty for three days, gave the sixteen altars with the gift of the prince, and built a shrine for it outside the capital, and made poems and texts to show mourning.

Afterwards, everyone knew that the news came that Hong Chengchou did not die, but surrendered, almost losing the face of the entire Ming Dynasty and even Emperor Chongzhen.

Oh, you said that the Confucian students, their faces will not be lost, because they have no face, anyway, the rhetoric of the Confucian scholars will use all means to package Hong Chengchou as a positive character, anyway, the era of the emperor who always faces the threat of starvation and death can be packaged as a prosperous Kangqian era, Kangxi can change, Yongzheng can change Kong Fansen, they are all geniuses.

The common people are under the effect of "information islands", and even if the elders have tried their best to send various troupes and storytellers to Jiangnan to explain various things, it is still extremely difficult to publicize village by village.

Similar to under miscalculation, there are many people who raise troops to get rich and rich, or they take the opportunity to raise troops and horses, and there are not a few who kill their neighbors first.

After all, the Ming Dynasty is still the same Ming Dynasty, not the Ming Dynasty.

And there are also those who fight each other for the sake of fighting grievances, when the town guard announced the establishment of Yada City and officially began to carry out both military and civil affairs in Nanyang Province, Jiangnan was already in chaos.

And Zhang Xianzhong's appearance just added a new color to this farce.

And Zhang Xianzhong also changed the previous fire of killing people and setting fires, and actually started not to kill, and the people caught were all sent to the Yangtze River, and transported to the mouth of the Yangtze River by barge, where there was a base that had been prepared for a long time, and the people were washed and fed, recovered their spirits, and confirmed their health, and they were transported to Nanyang.

This also began to change the original demographic structure of new immigrants in Southeast Asia, with people from the South and the North mixing with each other and supporting each other to overcome the difficulties of the early stages of immigration.
