Chapter 197: Qingtun Turmoil

Huang Renjie, the prefect of Chengtian Mansion, has recently received a lot of complaints, most of which are complaints about Li Cheng, the commander of the Yang Guard, this Li Cheng for Qin Yiming Qingtun's order, gladly accepted, resolutely implemented, he knew the successful experience of the De'an Thousand Households, the De'an Mansion was worse than their Yang Wei, but since Qin Yiming took over, not only gave up the practice of supporting the family, the land was divided equally among the military households, but also forcibly recovered the Tuntian lost by the De'an Thousand Households, the soldiers of the military Tun had rations, and the entire De'an Thousand Households also took on a new look, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the guard station of the De'an Thousand Households has also improved a lot. He also hoped that Weiyangwei could become the next De'an Thousand Households and cultivate a group of elites, so he thoroughly carried out Qin Yiming's military orders.

Many places in Chengtian Mansion have pasted notices, Li Cheng announced that within half a month, the tuntian that originally belonged to the rule of Weiyang must be returned, otherwise he will lead troops to erect boundary monuments, this notice immediately made many people in Chengtian Mansion worried and afraid, so they found the prefect of Chengtian Mansion together.

"Brother-in-law, Li Cheng, this bastard, you have to take care of it, relying on the fact that you have two thousand soldiers under your command and openly rob, this is even more bandit than bandits!" Zhang Zhi said angrily to Huang Renjie.

"Yes, Lord Huang, if we continue like this, we people will not be able to survive, the tuntian of this guard, we also spent real money to buy it at the beginning, this is a fair deal, and now he Qin Zongbing said that he will take it back, this land is our lifeblood, is there still the law of the Ming Dynasty in the eyes of the general soldier of Qin, and is there still the Ming court?"

"That is, in order to feed himself, he can not care about the life and death of others? He took back all the tuntian, what do we eat? Zhang Zhi said very unhappily that their family had encroached on more than 10,000 acres of land in Weiyangwei.

Everyone's righteous indignation was filled with hatred for Qin Yiming and Li Cheng, which was like killing their father.

Huang Renjie sipped the tea, listening to the grievances of these rich gentry under his rule, in his heart, he very much disapproved of Qin Yiming's nonsense, brutal and hard-working. However, in his opinion, this matter should be over soon.

"Hey, what's tired? Tie the field on the top of your head, you are tired! This field is indeed everyone's lifeline, everyone, this Qin general soldier everyone doesn't know clearly, he was originally just a hereditary small thousand households, but this year's high school martial arts, by the emperor's weapon, this is the Huguang general soldier, the so-called new official took office three fires, but it is just three fires, slow down, everyone just hold on, then this matter can pass, don't be so nervous. Huang Renjie is old-fashioned, with the style of an official master, sitting and drinking tea steadily, making everyone feel that this is not a big deal, but they feel that a catastrophe is coming, and it seems that it is unfounded.

"Lord Huang, but I heard that this Qin Yiming really took back all the acres of land in the De'an Thousand Households Office, and the previous Master Hu, in order to collect his acres, also gave him a crime, and the family was copied, the head of the Hu family is the Kang family, and Qin Mangfu also copied it."

"Rich Master Li, you don't have to be afraid, those are all rumors, as far as the old man knows, Master Hu has indeed committed a capital crime!" Huang Renjie said.

"But brother-in-law, Li Cheng, who was killed that day, came to harvest the fields, how can you delay us defenseless people?"

"Yes, Lord Huang, I still have to come forward with your old man!"

"Look at you like this, more than thirty people, and you are still so unstable!" Huang Renjie reprimanded Zhang Zhi and said, Today, these rich people came to find him, and nine times out of ten, this good brother-in-law picked them up.

"Brother-in-law, our family has 10,000 acres of fertile land, which is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, if you don't want it, don't want it? You don't care, then I'll tell my sister to go! "Zhang Zhi's dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.

"Yes, my lord, even if you trust it, it won't last long, Li Chengcheng gave it half a month!"

Everyone coaxed, they didn't get Huang Renjie's promise, and they had no bottom in their hearts.

Huang Renjie laughed and said: "Hahaha, no matter how powerful he Li Cheng is, he is only a commander of the guard, if he really dares to rob it openly, the old man will dare to arrest it, everyone can rest assured, but this trick is also skillful, isn't your land leased to those tenants?" As long as you tell those tenants that Li Cheng came to grab their acres, and they have no land to cultivate in the future, do you think those tenants who have no food will be so honest and let Li Cheng take back their acres? ”

Li Caizhu woke up like a dream, and said: "Yes, my tens of thousands of acres of land, there are many people renting seeds, and there are yours, when everyone unites, he Li Chengcheng is to pull out two thousand guards, I'm afraid he can't suppress it, after all, the law does not blame the public, if he forcibly suppresses it at that time, I am afraid there will be no good fruit to eat." ”

"Well, it makes sense, and once the matter gets bigger, the court and Huang Da will be better than asking, and then Li Cheng and Qin Yiming will not be able to eat and walk around!"

Everyone felt that they had found a solution to the problem, and began to plot how to organize the people to resist.

Time passed day by day, but no one came to Weiyangwei, Li Cheng was also prepared for the resistance of these landlords and squires, so he personally took more than 100 people to the field to measure the land and set up boundary monuments.

However, Li Cheng's behavior aroused the anger of those tenants, who wanted to go down to the fields to turn over the soil, but were stopped by the soldiers of the Weiyang Guard, the anger of the people, coupled with the instigation of those squires, so they were completely angry. The tenants gathered together, and at the boundary monument erected by Weiyang, they all took hoes, nails, rakes and other agricultural tools, and they wanted to dismantle the boundary monument.

"Wait for Diao people, this is the realm of my Yang Wei, if you dare to pull out this boundary monument and conspire to rebel, you can think clearly!" Li Cheng shouted, his eyes were cold, and the more than 100 soldiers of the Yang Guard around him were murderous one by one.

The tenants hesitated, and when they heard that it was a rebellion, they were afraid, and the rebellion would have their heads cut off, and everyone retreated.

"Zhang Yuanwai, you are a relative of the prefect, if you come forward, presumably this Li Cheng will still be afraid of you." The squires pleaded with Zhang Zhi, and these people also surrounded Zhang Zhi on weekdays, Zhang Zhi had long been accustomed to this feeling of being the boss, so he was also very righteous and angry.

"Li Cheng, you are talking nonsense, this field was still ours yesterday, why did it become your Yang Wei's today? Did you pay for it? Do you have a title deed? Zhang Zhi shouted.

Li Cheng is also not to be outdone, he can't show weakness today, once he shows weakness, the rest of the work will not be able to continue.

"This is Lord Qin's order, this field used to belong to my Yang Wei, but now it's just a matter of taking it back."

"Hmph, we bought these fields for real money, don't you know in your heart! What's the difference between you and robbery, folks, it doesn't matter if we don't have land, but what will you do in the future? If you don't have land to cultivate, how can you support your family? Zhang Zhi began to agitate with the tenants.

"That's right, folks, if you don't help us keep this property today, you will have to go hungry in the future, and your wife and children will starve to death, but if you help us keep the land today, I declare that all the land taxes of the Li family in the future will be less than 10%!"

"Yes, my Zhang family is too, pay one percent less!" Zhang Zhi should be peaceful.

Those tenants are looking at each other one by one, everyone you look at me, I look at you, there are many discussions, this is indeed a very exciting condition for them, originally these tenants were not willing to be taken back by the guard, and now they are even more unwilling.

"Folks, rush, knock down the boundary monument, this is our field, this is our life, we can't let this gang of soldiers and bandits rob it!" A tenant began to roar, after someone came forward, everyone's emotions were mobilized again, the tenants who were originally afraid like tigers, at this moment the crowd was angry, someone took the lead, everyone followed the coaxing, a huge team of tenants, began to walk towards the boundary monument of Weiyangwei.

Li Cheng shouted: "Take another step forward, don't blame me for being polite!" ”

But now that the public sentiment is turbulent and everyone has lost their minds, Li Cheng's words can no longer intimidate the tenants.

"Everyone, prepare, once someone dares to uproot the boundary monument, there will be no mercy!" Li Cheng viciously ordered.

The two sides finally scuffled together, although there were many tenants, but they were all some hoes and farm tools, and the officers and soldiers of the Weiyang Wei were not polite at all, and the beating made these tenants bleed, wounded, swords and guns without eyes, and some died.

"Officers and soldiers are killing, blind dates, let's turn it back!"

"Kill!"

Half an hour later, the riot of the tenants was finally quelled, and after killing more than 20 people, the tenants became honest and fled in all directions. Zhang Zhi and others also fled without a trace.

In the afternoon, Zhang Zhi and other squires took the lead, and those bitter masters who were killed by Li Cheng brought the corpses of their relatives to Huang Renjie, Huang Renjie looked at the more than 20 corpses placed on the ground, and so many people kneeling on the ground, not to mention more than 100 people here, all scarred and bloodstained.

"This commander Li has no king's law, and in broad daylight, he actually kills innocent and kind people, so careless of human life, how can it be reasonable." Huang Renjie was so angry that his face turned red, and his green tendons burst out.

"Lord Huang, you have to be the master for us!"

The tenants kept shouting and kowtowing, and Huang Renjie looked embarrassed and said, "I know, master, take the case first, and let these people be arrested first." ”

"Brother-in-law, you don't care about this matter?" Zhang Zhi asked.

"Tube! Of course, under my rule, it is unreasonable for officers and soldiers to openly kill innocent people, but this Li Chengnai is the commander, and I am afraid that going to arrest him in Weiyang will cause a mutiny, so I still have to find a way to lure him out and bring him to justice! ”

"So how do you trick you?"

"I've got a plan, you can listen up......"
