Although it is said that the Tang Dynasty royal division is very often dispatched to suppress all kinds of turmoil, especially the landlord rebellion!

However, it is often a relatively large-scale unrest, and as for some small-scale riots, the poaching camps can often cope with it themselves.

He Mei Pingdong has only been in charge of Huaiyuan County for a few days, and he has not even finished the aftermath, so there will be large-scale turmoil, and it still needs to be dispatched to the extent of the garrison, will this make Shangfeng think that he is too incompetent?

In this regard, he couldn't help but be a little worried!

Lin Chaotian on the side saw Mei Pingdong looking like this, and he didn't know what Mei Pingdong was worried about!

After the rise of the pseudo-Tang thief army and conquering Zhengtai County, he, like many officials, joined the thieves in a blink of an eye!

They are not afraid of any court retaliation, their family has been the official of Zhengtai County for generations, the Zhao and Song dynasties, the Mengyuan era, and the Zhu Ming Dynasty, the officials and men of Zhengtai County have changed one after another, but their old Lin family is the official of Zhengtai County in the era.

Even if the Ming Dynasty returned to Zhengtai County in the future, their old Lin family would still be the servants of Zhengtai County.

However, people are not as good as heaven, even if Lin Chaotian wanted to break his head, he would not have thought that after he became a thief, the speed of his promotion would be the same as riding a rocket.

At first, he was just an ordinary clerk of the Zhengtai County Finance Bureau, and then he became a tax officer in a town under Zhengtai County, and then he was transferred to Huaiyuan County, a place he had only heard of before, but had never been to.

However, when he went to be the town financial officer, he was actually a little repulsed, because he was a small clerk in the Tang Dynasty, and when the Ming Dynasty came back, he could once again mix in the county government of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, no matter how the dynasties above change, they are always needed to govern the place, so it is difficult for those high-ranking officials and lords to deal with those mud-legged people in person.

But at that time, the Tang Dynasty had already conquered the entire Xingquan Mansion, and he thought that he had surrendered to thieves anyway, and since they had all surrendered to thieves, he would simply vote more thoroughly.

Besides, their old Li family has been a servant for generations, and in his generation, he finally has a chance to become an official, so naturally he can't let it go easily.

So with a ruthless heart, he just agreed to be an official!

And then, and then he ran to Huaiyuan County!

He has been mixed in the county government all his life, and his kung fu is naturally not bad, as soon as Mei Pingdong spoke, he guessed a rough idea, and then said: "What Master Mei said is not unreasonable, but this armed tax resistance is something that I can't bear in the Tang Dynasty, and now the existing six gentry and landlords are armed to resist taxes, if we don't do anything, I'm afraid that others will also do the same, and then how do you think of our Huaiyuan County!" ”

As an old fritter in the officialdom, he naturally won't pay any attention indiscriminately, he is just a county tax officer, and he is responsible for tax collection affairs, as for the suppression of armed rebellion, it is the matter of the local government and the patrol police yamen and the robbery camp, and it has nothing to do with him as a tax officer.

What the? You say that this armed resistance to taxes was caused by their collection of taxes? So you, the tax collector, are also responsible for this?

What do you mean, is it wrong for our tax officials to collect taxes legally and reasonably? Is it reasonable to say that they are armed to resist taxes?

Come on, this must be a pseudo-Ming spy, arrested, beaten, beaten hard, don't believe him and don't move!

Besides, the world is big, we tax officials only need to be responsible for Your Majesty, you want to make us tax officials responsible for this, how old are you, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will check your accounts when he turns around, and then deduct you for tax evasion!

The world is so big, no one's ass is clean, even if it is clean, the people in their tax inspection team are not dry food, and they will not falsify evidence, and they will still catch one by one when the time comes!

Therefore, if he can't collect taxes, he will only put pressure on the relevant local agencies!

If the local authorities don't help, then he will report to the top, and when the time comes, the blame will come down, and no one present will end well, except for him, the tax collector.

Can't collect taxes? Who is the most angry? Your Majesty, if you provoke Long Yan to be angry, you will have a good end, you have never seen the market when I Lin Chaotian!

If you can't collect taxes, what institution is the most depressed? Military!

Because most of the taxes of the Tang Dynasty are now used as military expenses, this tax is less, which means that the army's military expenses are less, and those generals have to use knives to threaten the bigwigs in the cabinet.

The cabinet boss is angry, and it is strange that the officials below are not unlucky.

Therefore, among the people present, Lin Chaotian, who caused the incident, actually had the most stable mentality, and he was not in a hurry!

It is not Mei Pingdong who is really anxious, but Fang Dongzhi, the battalion commander of the robbery hunting camp!

There is such a large-scale armed tax resistance in Huaiyuan County, which naturally needs him to exterminate it, but the strength of his hunting and theft camp is insufficient, relying on more than 100 recruits who have only been recruited in the past few days, I am afraid that even the landlord's family will not be able to enter it!

Seeing the hesitation of these people in front of him, Fang Dongzhi immediately said: "Although there are only six families who resist taxes now, these people will resist taxes at the same time today, and they must be communicated in tandem, this is no longer a simple armed resistance to taxes, this is an organized and premeditated rebellion!" ”

Fang Dongzhi saw that these local officials had too many doubts, and immediately intimidated them slightly!

But Mei Pingdong and the others are not frightened, let alone those nerds who can only read dead books, to be honest, their backgrounds are different from ordinary officials, one is an account office, the other is a servant, and a bandit, it is unlikely that they will be frightened like those scholars.

Immediately, Mei Pingdong pressed it slightly, and then said: "Although this matter is big, it is not to the extent of alarming the military, everything is still under our control!" ”

"In this way, let's plan well!" Mei Pingdong also used his title of county order at this time to forcibly make a decision!

Although these people in front of him are not all his subordinates, they are just dual leaders, but since they are dual leaders, then he, the county commander, still has a certain command power over these people.

Hearing Mei Pingdong say this, several other people also stopped talking, but nodded their heads!

Then Fang Dongzhi said: "But even if it is postponed, this county still needs to be guarded, and the six families who participated in the armed resistance to taxes also need to be taken care of, and they can't be easily connected to avoid causing greater disasters!" ”

Mei Pingdong said: "This matter is quite reasonable, but if you send out the thief hunting camp, I'm afraid they will be on guard, so let the patrol police below watch it first!" ”

At this time, Feng Lao Liu also nodded and said: "Yes, I will send someone down to ensure that everyone looks at it firmly, and will definitely not let them connect with each other!" ”

Then these people continued to discuss, seeing if they could solve this situation with Huaiyuan County's own local strength.

After discussing for more than two hours, I drank a lot of tea, but I didn't come up with any clues, just discussed a few simple methods.

One is to let Mei Pingdong come forward and re-summon the gentry of Huaiyuan County to appease them appropriately.

The second is that the culprits must not be tolerated, especially the Wang family, who intervened in the killing of the members of the tax inspection team, must be severely punished, the murderers must be handed over, and the taxes must also be paid.

The third is to unite the patrol police station and the robbery battalion, prepare for armed suppression, and ask for the help of the garrison when appropriate.

But what they didn't expect was that Feng Lao Liu's assurance was tantamount to fart, and as soon as he sent the patrol police to monitor the people of the six families, there were already many people riding fast horses to each house to report the news.

Wang Jia Village, Wang Shuangxi didn't believe the news he heard!

"What are you talking about, the guy surnamed Mei already wants to send a large army to encircle and suppress me?" When Wang Shuangxi spoke, he still didn't believe it.

"It shouldn't be, it's just that he killed a dispensable officer, and he is not a sergeant in their army, and besides, this tax resistance is not only our Wang family, only six families have not paid taxes today, and more people are ready not to pay it!"

"How dare this person surnamed Mei directly send troops to suppress it, isn't he afraid of stirring up a popular uprising, and he doesn't want his official hat anymore?"

Wang Shuangxi didn't know that at this stage, the Tang Dynasty's delegation of power to officials was still relatively large, and there would inevitably be a large number of rebellions in some places that had just been defeated, so so far, there was really no deal to deal with local officials who provoked popular uprisings.

Nowadays, the Tang Dynasty's standards for judging officials are still relatively low and primitive, the first thing is to ensure that no one rebels under your rule, and if anyone rebels, they will be exterminated as soon as possible.

The second is to secure tax revenues.

The third is to ensure law and order.

Fourth, it is the so-called people's livelihood and other things.

As long as Mei Pingdong can keep Huaiyuan County under the control of the Tang Dynasty, and the taxes are continuous, how he likes to toss, at this time, the officials will not have much opinion.

It didn't take long for someone to report that the county seat of Huaiyuan County had been closed down, and there was something unusual in the pseudo-Tang thief army in the city!

Half an hour later, someone came to report, saying that there were several strange people in the village, and the nursing home caught one of them, and after torture, this person revealed that it was Yunyun, a patrol officer subordinate to the pseudo-Tang thief army, who came to Wangjia Village this time to monitor the Wang family.

After this series of bad news appeared, Wang Shuangxi's face became even darker!

That night, after discussing with several of his brothers and uncles, he decided that the time of life and death of the Wang family had come, and the pseudo-Tang thief army was afraid that he would send troops to encircle and suppress his Wang family.

But are their royal families going to sit back and wait for death? No, they have to find a way to avoid this catastrophe, but now that Huaiyuan County is already the world of the pseudo-Tang thief army, what can they do to avoid this catastrophe?

In the end, they came up with a way that was not a solution, first secretly transferred all the floating wealth in the family, and then summoned Qingzhuang and several other landlords Haoqiang and the pseudo-Tang thief army, maybe they could win a big credit!

That night, Wang Shuangxi stayed awake all night, and in the middle of the night he muttered to the cold wind outside the window: "Wang Xiangjun Hou Ning has a kind of thing, his surname Li can be the emperor, why can't I Wang Shuangxi be the emperor, even if I can't be the emperor at that time, I have to get a big official!" ”

The next day, Wang Shuangxi, the head of the Wang family, summoned the group of more than 200 people from Wangjia Village, as well as their own royal home, and raised the banner of 'Daming Huaiyuan Righteous Army' to swear to defeat Tang.
