Chapter 481: What a bunch of gutless bandits
Obviously, this trick is most in line with the psychology of the village sages at the moment......
You can't hit it.
But I really don't want to pay.
Since this is the case, Yang Qing does respect public opinion, so let him see public opinion and use public opinion to block Yang Qing's mouth, but this is not the main purpose, after all, the village sages also know that Yang Qing is insidious and cunning, and they will definitely think of other tricks.
But......
As long as you don't fight, it's easy to do!
As long as he didn't fight, there was no need to worry that Yang Qing would raid his house in Guangzhou for the crime of rebellion.
After all, he also has to have face.
Therefore, as long as the village sages stick to this bottom line, they can delay it for as long as they want, and the rest depends on the reactions of other parties, especially the toasts in Guangxi, especially in western Guangxi. The local emperors of the Cen family will not sit idly by, Si'en, Tianzhou, Zhen'an, Sicheng, and the four major Tusi of the Cen family all have a large number of wolf soldiers in their hands, and they originally relied on each other with the village sages of the Advisory Bureau to face the threat of the imperial court in the south. However, now that Yang Qing wants Liuzhou, in fact, it is to cut off their connection with Guilin and isolate them aside, and the rest will definitely continue to encroach.
The land reform carried out by the imperial court in Nanning has already made these toasts tremble.
The Zhao family in Guohua Prefecture was played to death.
Those land reform team members didn't know which shameless ones they learned from, and they ran to those mountain people's homes again and again. It is also to send clothes, to send new seeds, to teach people to farm, and even more shameless to seduce other girls, to promote the outside world of flowers to those young men.
Especially the benefits of Huangzhuang.
How did the latter receive it!
The small mirrors, pocket watches, all kinds of cans, lollipops, etc., all kinds of new things brought out by the land reform team members showed them the wonder of the outside world. There are even militiamen who have completed the land reform to show them and take them to discuss the miserable life of the landlords who were oppressed by the landlords, of course, under the oppression of the toast. Then describe the good days after the land reform, and the Ming court treats the natives equally, as long as they enter the imperial village, they are all the children of the empress, not only enjoy the same treatment, but even meritorious service can also be an official knight.
The premise is bright.
But under the rule of Tusi, what can they have, they can't just suffer hardship and poverty, and they have to work hard for Tusi.
Come on!
The vast world out there awaits you.
Spread your wings of freedom, go to the outside world to breathe the air of freedom, and then under their instigation, those young boys and girls who are not deeply involved in the world have grass growing in their hearts.
This is an inevitable result.
How can those mountain people stand this kind of temptation!
But Toast can't let them go, they are all toast's serfs, and when they leave, Toast is still playing a fart! The end result was an intensification of conflicts, and Tusi became an enemy in the eyes of those who sought freedom.
As a result, Zhao Guoding, the fruit of the Tusi, severely punished a subject who tried to flee to Huangzhuang, actually encountered the rebellion of the wolf soldiers, the poor Zhao family from the Taizu Hongwu period to be attached, Zhao Rongzong also followed the imperial army to fight and die, and when it came to Zhao Guoding, he was actually hacked to death by a group of subordinates who were bewitched by a group of land reform team members. Immediately afterwards, the imperial army ran to take over Guohua Prefecture under the guise of Anmin, and shouted the slogan of dividing the land, those wolf soldiers immediately forgot the Zhao family's favor for hundreds of years, and all ran to be the militia of Huangzhuang......
The rabbit is dead and the fox is sad!
The four major toasts of the Cen family are the next batch!
The Cen family in Tianzhou had already begun to prepare for war, and blocked the roads, and even their own people were strictly forbidden to leave the country, for fear of repeating the mistakes of the Zhao family, but the legal basis for them to do so was that they belonged to the fief of the King of Jingjiang, and the 10,000 elites of the Jingjiang Domain stationed in Liuzhou next to them were holding back the 18th Army in Nanning.
If Liuzhou returns to the imperial court, they will be the dishes of the imperial court.
Will they continue to sit still?
Not necessarily, right?
So all the Guangdong villagers need to do is stall for time......
Well, they just don't have the guts.
"What a bunch of gutless bandits!"
Luo Xin, the head of Jinyiwei's Guangzhou station, stood at his office window, looking at the crowd marching outside with disdain.
His identity in Guangzhou is public.
Jinyiwei Guangzhou stands in this city is directly listed office, in fact, it is equivalent to the liaison agency of the imperial court here, as the Gui domain of the Ming Dynasty, although it is the fief of King Gui himself, but the imperial court still has many institutions here. Not only Jinyiwei Guangzhou Station, Guangzhou Customs, the director of the General Taxation Department in Guangzhou, the director of the Foreign Affairs Department of the Ministry of Rites in Guangzhou, and many other institutions are listed in Guangzhou.
"This is the level of the green insects in the southern capital back then!"
The head of the tax department next to him said with a smile.
It's just that this chief is obviously a eunuch, in fact, Wang Chengen's General Taxation Department, more than half of the main officials are eunuchs so far.
They are all quite incorruptible.
At least more incorruptible than the vast majority of civil servants.
In fact, it is unreasonable to say that the eunuchs must be greedy for money, and they have no descendants to inherit, who will they give their greed for money to in the end? In this regard, they are fundamentally different from civil officials, the purpose of civil officials who are greedy for money is very clear, which is to give their children and grandchildren a family business, and eunuchs can adopt a few adopted sons at most, but they are certainly not interested in risking their heads to benefit these adopted sons. Eunuchs are greedy for money, especially the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty, to be precise, they are greedy for the emperor, taking Wei Zhongxian's greed for money as an example, in the end, he is making money for the apocalypse, and ensuring the expenses for the apocalypse in the form of greed. But now there is no emperor who needs them to be greedy for money to solve the problem of spending money, on the contrary, they are also included in the Jinyi Wei Nanya, which is controlled by the internal discipline of the Jinyi Wei, and their pension is also solved by the Jinyi Wei internally.
Then their motivation to be greedy for money is greatly reduced.
At most, it's a personal enjoyment.
But they eat and drink some good luxuries, which are really not the same level as those civil officials who do whatever it takes for future generations and desperately want to make money.
At least they are afraid of punishment.
But the fear of punishment of civil servants must first be based on this fear of overriding their desire to save for future generations, otherwise they will still be in danger. If the greed for money is only death, and will not implicate the family, then the eunuchs will be afraid, but those civil officials will not be afraid, if their own death can change the wealth of their children and grandchildren, I am afraid that more than half of the civil officials will try to take risks.
So it's not unreasonable for Yang Qing to like to raid his home.
Raiding homes scared more civil officials.
And the parade scene in front of him is indeed just like what this eunuch said, that is, the level of the green worms parade in the streets, in fact, most of them are really green worms.
Who else can the village sages mobilize?
It's nothing more than students from academies around the world.
There were about five or six thousand people in all, lazily shouting slogans, carrying flags and banners that should have been unfurled, and walking around the streets outside, which were also paved with cement and stone slabs. The small vendors on both sides pointed and looked very happy, but the busy workers had no time to care, especially the scrawny child laborers who were still pulling the heavy carts. The beggars chased the procession, stretching out their hands to beg for them, and occasionally a patrolman came with a rattan and beat them. There are even all kinds of foreigners on the street looking curiously, the number of foreigners in Guangzhou is far more than in the south, after all, the northern customs only allow foreigners to live in the demarcated area, and only diplomatic envoys to the southern capital, but the city of Guangzhou is allowed to allow foreign businessmen to live here.
Even black slaves had it.
The procession, which was obviously worrisome, walked in such a haphazard manner, and from time to time uttered a few feeble slogans in the heat of Canton in the early autumn heat.
And another scene at the end of them was also ready to start, King Gui in court clothes stood in front of his palace, and the village sages of the Guangdong Consultative Bureau stood on either side of him. The procession will then walk up to them, officially representing the people of Guangdong, and submit a petition to King Gui, resolutely opposing King Gui's abandonment of the people of Gaozhou and Luoding. and demanded that the matter be voted on by the Guangdong Consultative Bureau, and that only the Guangdong Consultative Bureau could make such decisions on behalf of the people of Guangdong, and that King Gui, even if he was the lord of Guangdong, must obey the wishes of the people of Guangdong......
Anyway, the script is written like this.
"This performance is really bad, so it's better to make it decent, even if you hire a few actors to act like it, even if it just costs some money, you can't spend a few dollars, it's too sorry for the audience!"
Luo Xin said dissatisfiedly.
His expression at the moment was like watching Wong Kar-wai in the countryside.
"That's what it means!"
The eunuch said.
"It's just a formality here, the real drama has to go to Nandu to perform, it's useless to play here, who will watch it here? The workers who are struggling to get by? Those ghosts who don't even know what they do? Or are they the sages who were originally part of their gang? The petition group that went to Nandu is what they really act, and the protector of the country is really a clever plan, and these guts and bandits really have this ability. ”
He then sneered.
It's really not the main performance venue, it's just a passing scene.
Again, there is no audience here.
The next petition group to go to the southern capital to beat the drums is the main force, they will let Her Majesty the Empress and the people of the world see the wishes of the people of Guangdong, and the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, who also like to see Yang Qing's ugliness, will also use the newspapers they control to add fuel to the turmoil.
But......
They didn't know that Yang Qing was waiting for them to take the bait.
"The show is on, they like to play, so let's have fun!"
Luo Xin said sinisterly.
The newspaper he held in his hand was almost entirely devoted to King Gui's decision to dedicate Gaozhou and Luoding's second mansion to the empress, and there was even an in-depth analysis of this, including speculation that the imperial court would take back the Gui domain next. Theoretically, this was the trigger for the demonstration, and it was precisely because of King Gui's sudden decision that people of insight in Guangzhou were outraged and protested against King Gui's irresponsibility in the form of a demonstration.
However, the villagers didn't know that Yang Qing was also waiting for them to light the fuse. ()
