Chapter 502: Never turn over
The people present were silent for a short moment, and then someone shouted, "Kill them!" ”
"yes, kill them!"
"Whoever dares to obstruct the governor's policy should be killed!"
"Kill!"
People are driven by interests, and the officials and businessmen of Wanli and Tianqi Dynasty have done everything to deal with tax supervisors. They did not hesitate to kill people and set fire to fight against the imperial court, and the most typical one was the Yunnan civil rebellion in the 34th year of Wanli, which was more direct. Local officials He Shixun, Han Guangda, and others directly rushed into the tax supervisor's station, killed the tax supervisor Yang Rong and more than 200 of his entourage, and then threw the corpses into the fire.
In the end, the results of the civil officials' investigation and report were, of course, that Yang Rong's rampant expropriation provoked the anger of the people, and that the local officials did it out of righteous indignation. After hearing this, the Wanli Emperor went on a hunger strike for three days in protest, saying: "The death of a Yang Rong is nothing, and I am saddened by how the country's discipline has been abolished to such a point? ”
In the same way, today, Wang Yue, the governor of Yingtian, took the lead and exempted all the people from land and forced labor, and it was the ordinary people who benefited, can they not support it? Only by killing those arrested officials and gentry can we remove the obstacles to this favorable government and make them feel more real, just like the landlords who had just been liberated and divided the land.
There is no need for Wang Yue to incite at all, the people present are already excited, and the shouts of killing are continuous.
The shouts of tens of thousands of people gathered together, like a tsunami from a mountain, and Chen Hongmi, Zhou Benshen, Zhou Zhenglin and others on the execution platform were like ashes, and they finally saw the power of the people.
"In order to comply with the will of the people, now prepare for the execution!" Wang Yue ordered.
Zhou Zhenglin's father and son and others were pushed out first, and Zhou Zhenglin was in tears, kowtowing to Wang Yue again and again, and begged loudly: "The governor spares his life, and the old man is willing to dedicate all his family property to the adult." ”
"Kill him, Zhou Zhenglin doesn't know how many people have been ruined, the governor must not let him go!"
"Kill him!"
"Kill him!"
Okay, it's really a wall that everyone is pushing down! Before Wang Yue could speak, there were already shouts of killing around him, and the people who dared to be angry and did not dare to speak out in the past had no scruples.
Wang Yue waved his hand and said, "Execution!" ”
Crackling gunshots rang out on the beheading platform, and all six men of the Zhou family, including Zhou Zhenglin, fell in a pool of blood.
Gunshots were then heard from the beheading platform, and the other gentry who participated in the strike were also shot.
After that, it was the turn of more than a dozen scholars such as Qian Dehong and Lu Shiyi, who took the lead in the class boycott.
Lu Shiyi had already peed his pants under the execution scene, his whole body was paralyzed, and he was dragged by two Tiance Army soldiers to the execution table.
Qian Dehong didn't look old, but he was stubborn, his hands were tied, he stood on the execution platform and shouted to Wang Yue: "Wang Yue, you dog official dare to change the national tax system without authorization, destroy the rules of Taizu, and slaughter scholars, this is the enemy of the entire Shilin, and the enemy of the world!" ”
"You people can also represent the will of the people of the world?" Wang Yue smiled contemptuously, and then continued to ask into the microphone: "Fathers and villagers present, do you welcome the new policy, or continue to hand over the field as in the past and participate in the conscription?" ”
"Welcome to the New Deal!"
"Welcome to the New Deal!"
"Kill this old immortal, so that he will never be able to turn over!"
"Kill him!"
The vast majority of the tens of thousands of people present were civilians, and they were the beneficiaries of Wang Yue's new policy, could they not support it?
For the first time, Qian Dehong and others saw the power of the people, and their eyes were full of horror when they listened to the shouts of the tsunami from the mountains under the stage.
"Execution!" Wang Yue waved his hand.
The gunshots of the execution rang out again, and Qian Dehong and others were shot in the back and died. The people in the audience were first startled, and then cheered, and the bursts of gunshots seemed to represent Wang Yue's determination to implement the new policy.
In the end, it was the turn of officials such as Chen Hongmi, the prefect of Suzhou, Zhou Benshen, and Chang Dengfeng, the prefect of Kunshan.
"Lord Zhongcheng, you have no right to dispose of the lowly position, the lowly position is the prefect of Suzhou!" Chen Hongmi trembled and chattered. Zhou Benshen was already frightened by the murderous scene in front of him, and Chang Dengfeng was already paralyzed to the ground.
"This constitution will make a decision on the spot, and then he will explain to the imperial court that he will be executed!"
As soon as Wang Yue's words fell, gunshots rang out again on the execution table, and Chen Hongmi and others fell on the execution table screaming.
"Jiang Baihu, I'll leave it to you here." Wang Yue turned to a middle-aged man in a flying fish suit.
Suzhou Mansion Jinyi Wei Baihu Jiang Baichuan hurriedly saluted Wang Yue and said: "Obey Wang Zhongcheng's order." ”
Regarding Wang Yue's style of killing and not burying, how dare Jiang Baichuan say a word.
If he wanted to implement a new policy and establish absolute authority in the Yingtian region, Wang Yue could only use thunderbolts to deter those who had different intentions. New ideas, new concepts, and new policies will inevitably be obstructed by the old forces, and there are too many examples in previous lives to prove that this process is inevitably accompanied by bloody conflicts and even wars, because this process has a very fashionable term: revolution!
Since it is called a revolution, how can there be no bloodshed? What's more, it was in the Ming Dynasty, which did not carry out ideological enlightenment.
Since Wang Yue sacrificed the butcher's knife, the urban management fee collection work of Suzhou Mansion was finally able to proceed smoothly, and now there is no need for the urban management to come to the door, and the merchants have taken the initiative to go to the toll office at the back door of the governor to take the initiative to pay the management fee, because it is overdue to pay but to fine.
"The number of chengguan should continue to increase, and the recruitment work should be started as soon as possible, and then we will set up chengguan brigades in various prefectures in Yingtian area."
The Suzhou area has become calm, Wang Yue's policy of benefiting the people has been supported by the small people with a large base, and the leader has been taken down, and the source of the turmoil has been lifted.
Ruan Dacheng was more respectful than before: "Please rest assured, Lord Zhongcheng, I will do this as soon as possible." ”
Wang Yue thought for a while and said: "Now that the prefect of Suzhou is vacant, I am ready to recommend you to the emperor to be the prefect of Suzhou Prefecture, you must be mentally prepared." ”
Ruan Dacheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you, Lord Zhongcheng, for cultivating!" ”
Wang Yue's face was unhappy and said: "Get up, this constitution has reminded you not to bow down in front of me." ”
"Yes, yes, the lower official got lost for a while, please forgive me!" Ruan Dacheng hurriedly stood up and arched his hand.
"I will operate this matter from the imperial court, and it shouldn't be a big problem, but after you become the prefect of Suzhou, there are still many things left to you to do, understand?" Wang Yue said.
"Yes, Xia Guan understands!" Of course, Ruan Dacheng knew that it would not be so simple to make him the prefect of Suzhou, after all, he was not Wang Yue's descendant. Suzhou is one of the best mansions in the Ming Dynasty, such a good thing fell on his head, he couldn't think of it before, he knew in his heart that Wang Yue wanted him to be a gunman, and he could think of it from this period of suppressing the market boycott.
