Whether it is an uprising, a rebellion, or relying on forces to actually control local government affairs, the local heroes of all dynasties rely on their own and their families' influence in the local area. This is true of both the gate valve families and the ethnic minority chiefs in various remote areas.

Whether it is the family of gate lords during the Wuhu Rebellion, the Sui Dynasty that ended the division between the north and the south, or Li Tang who replaced it, as well as Yang Yinglong, Hao Chongming and other generations who continued to cause chaos in the southwest region during the Wanli period, can be included in the forces of this nature. (This kind of power existed until the end of the Qing Dynasty, when the famous Majia forces in the northwest were in Shaanxi during the Hui rebellion, and they were bets on both the Hui armed forces and the Qing army.) Take the opportunity to develop vigorously, and you won't suffer any loss if you gain momentum. If it weren't for bad luck and encountering Shi Sanyanzi, a Hunan barbarian, I am afraid that their power will continue. And this situation is like the weeds in the eternal wasteland, the forces are intertwined, and the wildfires are not exhausted, and the spring breeze blows and grows. Even if the sword and the fire come together, it will not be able to stop and change this situation. Therefore, only by making great efforts to turn that piece of land deep and deep, digging out the thousand-year-old roots of those wild grasses and rotten vines, and exposing them to the sun for a few days, can this land become fertile land.

What Zheng Sen and Wu Liuqi are doing now is actually digging up the roots of these presidents and patriarchs!

The public trial meeting was still going on in the autumn sun, and the presidents who were tied with ropes and ropes like rice dumplings were covered with sweat on their heads and faces, and they didn't know whether they were sunburned or scared out.

But there is a saying that is absolutely true, and that is that if you don't see a coffin, you won't shed tears. In the face of the plaintiff's imposing complaint and the bitter master's cry and evidence, some presidents disdained, and raised their heads with their fierce eyes to scan the ethnic groups in front of them. Said contemptuously: "You guys are purely false accusations, anyway, now that we are in your hands, it is not easy to find some people who have an enmity with us?" If you want to kill or chop you as you like, but we will never admit our mistakes. The Han people are all bastards, buying our deer skins at a low price and selling our grain and refined salt at a high price. And marry our prettiest girls, they just damn it! ”

In the face of the arrogance of these presidents, the plaintiff trembled with anger, so she prepared to continue to call witnesses. At this moment, an old lady of Fanmin carried a rattan basket full of fruits and staggered into the venue. Originally, she couldn't get in with her figure, but everyone found that this old lady Fanmin didn't seem to be in a normal state, in a trance, and her eyes were dull. kept chanting: "Youtian, where are you, I found your daughter-in-law, and our family can be reunited again." After saying these Chinese words with a strong Pingpu accent, the old lady smiled kindly on her face again, and began to sing the children's songs of the mountain people, which probably meant lullabies and other ballads.

No one wants to provoke a crazy old lady, so they consciously flash a way. In this way, she entered the venue tremblingly.

The woman who was the plaintiff was shocked when she saw the old lady. She hurriedly came to the old lady and said, "Grandma, what are you doing here?" Go home quickly, Arita and we'll have time to look for it again. ”

After saying that, the prosecutor turned around and secretly wiped his tears. The old lady refused to leave, and she stubbornly said in a language that could barely be heard whether it was Chinese or Dongfan: "No." I've just picked a basket of fresh fruit. My family used to say that they had never eaten enough when they were in their ancestral house, but since they came to Taiwan to work as a reclamation worker, they not only have their own fields, but also built a big house. You can eat white rice and fruits for three meals a day. He said that Taiwan's fruits are delicious, and you can eat a few every day, even if you give it to a fairy, you won't change it. ”

After hearing these words, the plaintiff woman, who represented countless bitter masters, couldn't hold back any longer, only to see her face full of tears, and then rushed towards these presidents fiercely, without saying a word, she picked up a president and opened the bow left and right and pumped a few mouths of the guy, so that the president was bleeding from his mouth and nose, and after the beating, she wanted to kick again, but was pulled away by the guards, so she had to give up. But she couldn't breathe this way, so she choked up and said to everyone: "This old grandmother has a granddaughter, and later married Chen Youtian, a reclamation man from Fujian. Chen Youtian is a reclamation man from Fujian who came to Taiwan, and has endured hardships for more than 20 years in Daming, and finally came to Taiwan through the guò business zone. Later, I met this old grandmother, and saw that their family only had two grandchildren, and because of the plague epidemic in the village community, the grandparents and grandchildren were driven out of the disease. Later, the grandmother saw that Chen Youtian was a good person, so she married her granddaughter to Cao Youtian, and the family lived happily with him. But not long ago, these beasts rebelled, first killing Chen Youtian, who usually kept to himself and was kind to others, and then tried to rape his daughter-in-law, but his daughter-in-law did not comply, so these beasts cut off his daughter-in-law's head and threw it into the street. The old grandmother went crazy after that, and kept holding the heads of his grandson-in-law and granddaughter and crying, and was unwilling to let go no matter how much she persuaded her. You god-damn bastards, the heroic spirits of your ancestors are all watching, and you have today is the punishment of your ancestors! ”

These words were like thunder, arousing strong public indignation, everyone talked about it at first, and then some of them had a big temper, and rushed directly to kill these presidents, and the guards tried their best to stop the situation, but they were all sweating profusely. At the same time, some people who were reluctant to speak because of the affection of the villagers also began to speak.

A captured old man sat in the group of captives and said slowly: "President, I didn't want to say it, but since you have done such an excessive thing, don't blame me." We Dongfan generally rely on things like deerskin and golden sands to trade with the Han people to survive, and we used to trust you, and we entrusted you to sell everything. If you want to say that you make a little money, we won't say anything, but yesterday the Han chief who took charge of us captives said that they could exchange one deer skin for two catties of salted salt, but you told us that the Han people's salty salt costs one catty for ten deer skins. The folks are all counting on this deerskin sands to live and marry, and I don't ask you to be too good, but as long as you have a slightly fair price, more than half of the people in our society can afford to marry a daughter-in-law, don't you say?"

As soon as the old man finished speaking, a young man said hatefully: "In the past, I thought that the refined salt and sugar cloth of the Han people was too expensive. It's too dark for all Han merchants, but when I think about it, since the things are good, I put up with it. But yesterday, when I heard the price from the merchant, it turned out that the president had increased us more than five times. I said that I used to live in a thatched house, and in recent years, the president's family has built a two-story building with burnt ash and bamboo tendons, which is no worse than the Han people in the town! It turns out that the doorway is here. President. Tell the folks today, how much black money do you still make? ”

As if the twist of a firecracker had been lit, the entire venue immediately became full of people, and there were constantly captured Dongfan soldiers and old and weak women and children jumping out to expose the president's various crimes, and the presidents also changed from the original arrogance to bow their heads and remain silent.

But the plaintiff woman didn't seem to be satisfied, and she suddenly shouted, "Temu? Wallis, you bastard, do you want to be executed today with these presidents, and not tell me about the bad things your presidents did before. ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a roe head rat-like Dongfan trembling out tremblingly. Before he spoke, he gave himself two mouths, and said I should die while beating back. After the fight, this person said: "Folks, do you still remember when the red-haired ghost was still in Taiwan, there was a time when our Tunbala Society fought with the Hoge Society and the Rodolf Society?" Actually, that's a set made by several presidents. At that time, the red-haired ghost wanted to pay for a batch of girls to be **, and promised a big price. So the presidents made a set for the money, and each said to the girls in their own club. You want to go out on a blind date and trick the girls into going to the designated place. Just give it to the red-haired ghost together. After that, the three presidents said that the other party robbed their own girl, and then a fight broke out, killing and injuring countless people. Actually, this matter was agreed by the presidents. There is also the president who said that under the revelation of the gods, it is also false to kill Han people, and our high priest knows this matter best. It was because of her divination that she was warned by the heavens. said that it was a big murderer, so she turned her face with her brother, but his brother shot her with an arrow and wanted to shoot her to death, but our high priest was protected by his ancestors. Still ran. After saying this, he said to the woman with a flattering face, "High priest, I am not lying, am I?"

The woman who was the plaintiff nodded and said, "You still have a little conscience, folks, it is true." On that day, I divined for my brother, and the result was a big murderer, so I advised my brother that General Li was kind and generous, but on the contrary, it was ominous, but he didn't listen, and said that rotten grass and dry bones can settle big things? Then he smashed my divination tools. Folks, now that the facts are in front of us, everyone can see clearly whether it is a good fortune or a big murderer. The eyes of the ancestral gods are like torches, they have long told us that it is good luck to follow General Li, and rebellion is a great evil, but my stubborn brother has to act against the will of his ancestors, so today, he will be punished by Ming Zheng. ”

"Brother, you can confess your guilt, although it is a difficult mistake, but as long as you are willing to confess, I am still willing to bring back your body and bury it well, so that your soul can return to the arms of your ancestors. Otherwise, don't blame my sister for not even caring about your corpse, because you're not human at all. “

The Gaoshan people generally believe in animism and ancestor worship. It is believed that the elves pervade the universe are the mysterious power of the supernatural world, and that death is nothing more than a return to the bosom of the ancestors. However, if you can't return to the bosom of your ancestors, it will be as terrible as the Han people say that you will become a lonely ghost.

The plaintiff's words had already made most of the Fanhan people present shed tears, but her brother was still hard-hearted, and he glared at his sister and said, "Get out, I don't need you to bury it." Isn't it just death? I'm not afraid. ”

At this time, the old lady didn't know when she came to him, and she kept groping around him, groping and saying, "Arita, granddaughter, why are you here, I have worked so hard to find you, let's go home and eat fruit." So saying, her hand touched everywhere, and accidentally touched the plaintiff's brother, and then, as if struck by lightning, a spirit jumped up, and then spasmed, desperately trying to crawl away, but could not move anyway, and finally died of foaming at the mouth.

This scene made everyone in the Panhan scene stunned, that is, the woman who served as the plaintiff changed her expression greatly, and some onlookers were so frightened that they almost peed their pants. Then they prayed silently in their hearts according to their faith: "The evil spirit is gone, the evil spirit is gone, the wronged is the head, the debtor is the master, whoever kills you will seek him." If you are related to me, rest assured, if you want cattle and sheep sacrifices, we will be satisfied. And we are not the worst, but the ones who are being judged now are the worst, and you have to take revenge on them. “

In fact, they are really careful, and this situation is nothing more than a long trial. The president, who was weak in heart but had always wanted to pretend to be tough, was forced to overdose adrenaline for a long time, and the old lady was stimulated by this, and the horror broke out instantly, and it killed him all at once. It's a pity that there is no common sense of endocrine yet, so everyone present can only understand this phenomenon as the revenge of evil spirits.

After the president's body is dragged down. The trial continued, and because of the lessons of the past, no president dared to say a tough word. At the end of the day, these presidents wept and knelt down to admit their mistakes, and some even said in tears that please kill me, just don't do any more public trials, I really can't stand it! Please, kill me! Those evil spirits haunt me, and I can't stand it anymore!

The presiding judge then declared the trial open and fair. The evidence was conclusive and the offender had already pleaded guilty, and the verdict was announced in turn in accordance with the laws of Nanzhong. The president, patriarch, and including King Fan, were all executed. At the same time, the captured coerced servants were sentenced to hard labor according to the law, and they were only paid one silver dollar per month during the period of hard labor.

With the fall of the shocking trees, tens of thousands of people in the venue also thundered and cheered! Among them, the loudest shouting are two kinds of people. One is the Taiwan Volunteers, and the other is the other. It was those who were captured and coerced from the east. They never dreamed that they would only be sentenced to hard labor, and the salary was not low, and they actually had a silver dollar a month, which was a punishment, it was simply a welfare. Therefore, their slogans are shouted very loudly.

Seeing the venue so lively, Wu Liuqi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Although it is not the first time I have experienced it, I still feel like a dream." I was truly blessed because I had never been an enemy of the Lord. ”

Zheng Sen smiled awkwardly when he heard this, scratched his head and said, "I'm also glad." I have only been the enemy, and I have been forgiven, and now I am the father-in-law. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and then secretly swore in their hearts at the same time that even if they followed the main guild to hell, they would resolutely not be the enemies of the lord.

After that, the villages began to measure the land, register the household register, count the population and specialties, draw maps, and survey the mountains and rivers. For some village communities that were more severely damaged by the fighting, rations were distributed according to the number of people.

However, as these activities progress, some small discordant waves gradually emerge, so you might as well pick a few for the reader.

At the household registration office in a certain village or town, several soldiers of the auxiliary volunteer team beat a Dongfan with punches and kicks, or beat him to death, scolding while beating, "Just a Dongfan like you with an uncivilized face, you are also worthy of the surname Li!" “

One of the cadres in charge of registering the newly naturalized Dongfan heard screams, punches and kicks and rushed to inquire what had happened.

The soldiers of the Volunteer Brigade replied angrily: "This Dongfan owes a beating, and he dares to be surnamed Li!" “

"The surname Li should be beaten?"

The cadre in charge of registration was stunned, and then asked why Dongfan chose the surname Li, and the Dongfan youth wiped the blood on his face, "The villain originally didn't have a Chinese name, and then the person who gave me a household registration said that you have to have a name, and the villain asked what the surname of our general was, and then said that the surname was Li, and the villain said that the surname was Li." I don't want these people to hear about it and immediately pounce on me and hit me! “

The cadre in charge of this matter couldn't cry or laugh after hearing this, does this mean that he has to be beaten with the same surname as the lord? What is the rationale for this? As everyone knows, this is a special colonial complex, those good fans who were naturalized early, and those young people who served as auxiliary volunteers, because they are also Dongfan, so they have a strong contempt for the backward Shengfan.

When a group feels that it is backward from other peoples, it will strongly despise itself. Nowhere is this more evident than in the case of Masao Iwasato who was Japanese until he was twenty-two years old.

However, there are still a lot of things that make Zheng Sen, Wu Liuqi, and Li Shouhan, who is thousands of miles away, cry and laugh.

For example, a round-faced Gaoshan clan with a portrait of the East cried and shouted that after he was the Marquis of Wanling, he would recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. A round-faced leader said that he was the descendant of Zhuge Jin, the Marquis of Wanling, and how happy he was to make up the scene in his own brain! The characteristic of Zhuge Jin, Marquis of Wanling, is that super long face, and as a result, a round-faced Dongfan claimed to be his descendant after N years, Nima!

The two rebelled before the battle, and turned against the president of Dongfan, who became the last straw on the back of the rebel Shengfan, wiped the oil and sweat on his face and walked out of Zheng Sen's signing room in Tainan Mansion.

"Brother, did you see it, fortunately we had a good eye at the beginning, otherwise you see how miserable the patriarchs who fought against General Li were. Not to mention standing at the scene of the public trial, I was scared to pee when I watched from the sidelines.

"Don't say it, I've been having nightmares these days, and I dreamed that I was being dragged to the public trial. Hey, don't talk about such a scary thing, anyway, I won't be the enemy of General Li if I die in the future. ”

"Did you hear about the Volunteers a while ago? These people are now like mad dogs, seeing who bites whom, one person is just a person who is on the household registration and says that his surname is Li, and he was beaten half to death by them. Later, when they were stopped, they demanded that they change their surname to Li, or they would commit suicide. ”

"I want to do that too, but there are too many people who are asking for the surname Li now, and those mad dogs are still talking, the number of places is limited, they must be changed to their surname Li first, and others have to wait, otherwise who dares to beat whom." If it weren't for this, I would have gone to Yamen a long time ago to ask for a change in my surname to Li. ”

"These mad dogs are so fucking infuriating, they just said that they would be given the surname Li. But I said brother, why do we have to join in the fun surnamed Li, in fact, I read the book, we may be descendants of the Han people. ”

"Look at it, what Han Dynasty and Eastern Wu all sent people to Taiwan, and I heard that General Zhuge sent people here, so I've been wondering, whether we are the descendants of these people!"

Zheng Sen and Wu Liuqi, who almost turned over historical materials such as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Book of Wei, couldn't convince themselves that the president of Shengfan, who had a big round face, black teeth, and a mouth full of Pingpu dialect, could actually be related to Zhuge Cheng, who was famous in the universe? ! Even if the language can be prevaricated for reasons such as five nonsense and chaos, years of war and the road has been cut off, etc., how can your big cake face not be related to Zhuge Jin, who has a famous long face, right?

However, there is nothing to be done. can only pinch your nose and admit it. As a result, in the household registration book of Taiwan Province, people with the surname Zhuge and Wei abound. (To be continued......)
