"Aunt Mizhi Suidehan", but all Shaanxi people, most of them know such a sentence, according to the "Mizhi County Chronicle": The world's beauty Diao Chan during the Three Kingdoms is a Mizhi person. However, what really made rice fat famous all over the world was probably Li Chuang during the Chongzhen period.

For the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng is an inescapable figure, it was he who entered the Beijing Division and forced Emperor Lie to be martyred, and he should also be responsible for the entry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the tragic death of hundreds of millions of compatriots.

On the ninth day of the fourth month of the seventh year of Xingqian, a group of cavalry broke into Mizhi County, and outside the gate of the county seat, the county and the local gentry knelt to greet these cavalry, which also meant that Mizhi returned to the Ming Dynasty.

A few days later, the county order and the Yaxia officials sent by the Ministry of Officials arrived in Mizhi, and the people of Mizhi finally breathed a sigh of relief, at least, there was no revenge they imagined. But just when they breathed a sigh of relief, the government issued an official order.

The first step in the immigration regulations established by His Majesty the Emperor was the first to emigrate from the territory of Shaanxi. Although Shaanxi has experienced a great drought in Chongzhen, experienced a few years of no rain famine, millions of people have become rogues, and millions of people have died in the famine, but in the past ten years, the wind and rain here are still smooth, the land is vast and sparsely populated, but it has also attracted a lot of people from Shanxi and other places, not to mention tens of thousands of people from these places. Although some of these people have settled down here, married wives and had children, they have gone through more than ten years of hardship, they have saved money and money, and they may have purchased a small amount of land and property, and they have lived a fairly peaceful life. But there are also some outsiders who still live without a fixed place to live and have to beg along the streets to make a living, and of course, there are many locals among these called Hanako.

When the local government posted the "Notice of Relocation", those people who had settled down may still have some nostalgia for this place, and some are difficult to give up, but the latter seemed to like it very much, especially when they figured out that the imperial court was going to reward them with land, so that they could live a good life after farming in a different place, there was no hesitation, after all, for them, going to that is all about going.

Moreover, the government also promised on the notice that everyone could also receive some coils, so why not? Therefore, this part does not take much to say, and it is just gone. As for the latter part called Hanako, it is simply a great thing that the hydrangea falls from the sky, although some of them are used to living a life without work, but the official order is difficult to disobey, for these people they are not willing to go, they are directly taken by patrols and soldiers, and then sent to the team of immigrants.

Since the posting of the immigration notice, two desks have been set up in front of the yamen of the county government offices in various parts of Shaanxi, and four or five officials have been appointed to handle immigration matters for these people. According to the imperial court immigration regulations: each Ding can receive 10 yuan of silver dollar coupons. This money is enough for their expenses on the road, and they can also buy some new clothes and new bedding, and of course, the expenses of food and dormitory on the road, in fact, the cost of this piece is not large, after all, for immigrants, the government has a plan, will provide them with food along the way, and when they arrive in Tongguan, they will be allowed to take the train, and then get on the boat to the northeast.

Of course, in addition to these strangers and beggars, there are also landless and landless people in this ranks, but unlike the former, who must be relocated, the latter is based on the principle of voluntariness. Since the day the relocation notice was posted, people from various local governments have gone to handle immigration matters every day.

The same is true in Mizhi, but the number of people is not large, these days, there are only a dozen or two people every day, many of them are helping the old and the young, dragging children and daughters, carrying picks and luggage, and coming to the county yamen in groups of three or five, most of them are poor and destitute. For these people, they had fled here, but now they are just fleeing in another place, not to mention that the government has also said that there is not only land but also cattle in the place.

Seeing a man in patches coming over, the officer behind the case asked.

"Who are you?"

The man hurriedly replied.

"Back to the official's words: The villain is from Yuncheng, Shanxi, and fled here more than 20 years ago to escape the war."

The next one may be a Henan person. As for whether it is the government or not, it has not been investigated, Li Chuang coerced hundreds of thousands of people as soldiers in Henan and Shanxi, many of whom were scattered all over Shaanxi, if it were not for the government's announcement, they would have married wives and children here, and took root, and eventually, their descendants would become Shaanxi people.

It's just that now, their fate has changed.

The clerk glanced at him, and after asking how many members of his family were, he wrote down the other party's name, whether it was a man or a woman, his age and birthplace, and his hometown, and put his hand under his name, and then said.

"Take, this is your immigration voucher, leave and return immediately, there must be no mistake, you must arrive at Tongguan within the specified time, and then when you get there, there will be a unified resettlement by the government, and when you get to the place of relocation, the government will point you to the land and issue farm tools, without this immigration voucher, out of Tongguan, you will be treated as a beggar and exiled overseas to serve hard labor, you know?"

The man here hurriedly replied.

"Know, know, grass people know!"

Even so, it is not over, and a blue stamp with the word "shift" is stamped on the back of their hand, and they have to rely on this seal to eat along the way, and after the seal is completed, they can go to the second desk to receive the silver dollar coupon.

In less than two months, more than 184,000 foreigners and beggars were sent to various parts of Shaanxi. No one investigates, most of them are from Henan, Shandong, Huguang, and even Nanzhili.

No one cares about their origins, anyway, for the government, the relocation of these people means that there are nearly 200,000 more people in the Northeast, as for these people who are happy to leave Shaanxi, they don't know that they are going to the Northeast, they even think that the imperial court will settle them in the Central Plains, and even imagine returning to their hometowns.

The government didn't have much explanation, and the people also had such misunderstandings, but it didn't matter in the overall situation, even if they reacted, I am afraid it would be too late.

And for the local people, the people from all over Shaanxi are quite happy to send so many outsiders to "return to their hometowns" at once, after all, the land occupied by the outsiders is theirs, and these outsiders are gone, so the land they left behind is not the locals?

As for the local people, they don't know at all that the prelude to this immigration has just come, but they have just returned to the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and they still truthfully cooperate with the government to re-register their household registration, and every time they register their household registration, the patrol will remind them that now the Ming Dynasty no longer levies Ding Yin, so there is no need to hide people! In order to reassure them, they even asked the literate Xiucai in the village to re-post the imperial list posted in the customs that year to inform the people, so that they could register their accounts with confidence.

By July, when the people had adapted to the rule of the Ming Dynasty, regained their hair and began to look forward to the coming year, they did not know that the so-called "registration" law was only a repetition in preparation for further immigration.

At the end of July, an official document came down from Xi'an to all counties, and Mizhi County was no exception.

As soon as the notice of the government was posted, Hongdong Street, which used to be so lively and bustling, suddenly became deserted, and the people hid in their homes, their faces full of incredible looks.

What's going on?

Doesn't it mean that only outsiders have migrated, and there are people who have no land and few land?

Why is it that everyone is moving out now?

The people tried to avoid this by closing the door, but the patrols beat gongs and drums, walked the streets and alleys, and went door to door to supervise.

"The imperial court has a decree, the land in Shaanxi has been reclaimed for thousands of years, and the land has been exhausted, even if it is a good year, the harvest is only barely enough to make ends meet, and His Majesty the Emperor is gracious...... The people of Shaanxi were relocated to other places, and the land was rewarded, agricultural tools and cattle were ploughed, and each person was given a silver dollar coupon of 10 yuan, and the land was not paid for three years, which benefited both the country and the people......"

But no matter how the patrol and arrest officials shouted, no one paid attention to it, and who was willing to leave their hometown until they were forced to do so. In fact, the retained officials immediately became anxious and had to move out of the immigration regulations.

"According to the imperial court immigration regulations, immigrants are endless, one of the two families is left, and more than two families, no matter how many, only one ding! The one who should move is not forgiving, he can't hide if he wants to, and he can't escape if he wants to. There are disobedient people, wanderers thousands of miles! ”

With the arrival of the shouts of the officials beating gongs and drums, the people hurriedly closed their doors, and the whole family went into hiding, and the streets and alleys became empty for a moment, as if they thought that they could escape all this by closing the doors.

"It's fine!"

After hearing the report of the inspection captain, Sun Yumin, who had just been in office for a few months, just continued to play chess with the county envoy.

"Continue to notify the townships, and after five days of notification, pull up the land protection of each village, bring the household registration booklet, and notify each household."

"The county has already thought about it?"

The torturer asked.

"Sometimes, even if you and I don't want to, we can only do this, this immigration is related to the century-old plan of the imperial court, if you don't move, it is inevitable that there will be another Li Chuang ...... in the future."

For the imperial court, one of the starting points of the relocation was to avoid the recurrence of Li Chuang, and to move the people from a place with "narrow land and few people" to a place with "vast land and sparsely populated", so as to avoid the possibility of famine to the greatest extent, so as to avoid another Li Chuang.

"What if the people resist?"

"Troop transfer! Now there are more than 100,000 troops in Shaanxi! ”

Everything was planned, and in the next few days, the officials had no choice but to pull in the land guards of each village, and knock on the door with the household registration book that had just been registered.

"Hey, open the door!"

"Open the door quickly, if you don't open it, you will smash it!"

After knocking for a long time, it was easy for someone to open the door.

"What's the matter?"

The official snatched the household registration book from the local security guard's hand and flipped through it in a hurry.

"How many people are in your family?"

The man immediately shouted.

"Isn't that written, Six?"

The official said in a loud voice.

"According to the holy decree of Emperor Daming, your family will move five families and keep one."

When the man heard this, he slammed the door shut, and then shouted through the door.

"If you want to move, your grandson will move!"

"This is the royal law of the imperial court!"

"Say that you will move, this is the law of the king, this has been thought since ancient times, it is the emperor who does not kill the people, why let us move!"

"That's it, don't move!"

There was a shout from the yard next door.

"If you don't move, you won't move even if you die, if you want to die, you will also die in our rice fat!"

It seems that he has committed the wrath of the people. The official shouted.

"I can't do that much! The emperor has a will, those who should move must be moved, and if you want to hide, you can't hide, and you can't escape if you want to! It's easy to talk about now, don't move, and when the imperial court sends troops, it won't be as easy to talk as our villagers! ”

"Send troops, you let them send them! forced out a Li Chuang back then, and maybe forced out a Zhang Chuang and Zhao Chuang's ......"

The official was so stunned by the person behind the door that he immediately became dumb, and at this moment, he saw two patrolmen approaching.

"Who said just now that Zhang Chuang and Zhao Chuang's ...... are going to be released"

"Li Ye, Li Ye, no, no ......"

Glared at by the man, the official pointed to the door and said.

"It's this one."

The patrolman knocked on the door again, and then said.

"Open the door! I'm a county patrolman! ”

I can't call it anymore, so the patrol is not polite, and he just took the household registration book and said.

"Zhang Tianfeng, you instigated to resist the imperial court's immigration order, and now according to the corresponding decree, the whole family and the three clans are forcibly relocated!"

"Official, I don't, I don't have ......"

Before the words behind the door fell, the patrol said with a cold face.

"Crash away!"

Even the officials who didn't wait for the officials to find a wooden beam to knock on the door, the door had already been opened by the people behind the door, and the people who knelt on the ground in the courtyard led the way and kowtowed again and again.

"Official, official, I just ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and I don't dare to make trouble, my family is old and young, I really can't move......"

As he spoke, he kowtowed.

"The official is gracious, the official is gracious......"

The patrolman stared at him expressionlessly, and then said coldly.

"Stand up for me, you now have an hour to pack your bags, and in an hour, this house ...... Pickpocketed! ”

A "pick-up" made Zhang Tianfeng's face change suddenly, and he muttered with a pale face.

"What, how can it be like this, how can it be like this......"

In his muttering, the women and children in the courtyard cried, they didn't expect this to be the result, but they just said a word, and in exchange for this result.

"There are also neighbors on the left and right, all of them have moved together, give them an hour to pack their luggage, if anyone dares to disobey!"

The cold-faced patrol looked at the people in this courtyard, and then said coldly.

"If they are tied directly, they have to move, and if they don't move, they have to move! Ink inkblot, when will this be done! ”
