Chapter 541: The Old Bandit Who Suppressed Bandits

"It's finally begun!"

Yang Qing said with relief as if he had heard that Ferdinand had been assassinated.

The Jiangnan gentry finally resisted.

This is also inevitable, even in the face of the powerful People's Liberation Army, there should be such a person who is not afraid of death, not to mention the Ming Dynasty at this time, asking for the land of those landlords is equivalent to shoveling their life, and it is strange that there is no resistance, and the southern gentry can do the same in the south, in the final analysis, they are a breed of goods.

As for the Japanese slaves......

It doesn't matter if it's true or not.

However, they will definitely also use Japanese slaves, which are the cheapest cannon fodder, and the Jiangnan gentry have bought a lot of Japanese slaves over the years, and have even begun to use Japanese slaves to replace tenants to plant their fields, after all, tenants want to reduce rents and Japanese slaves can be whipped with whips. And the Japanese slaves are also very loyal to them, these Japanese slaves are basically filthy, in the Wa country is the lowest level, it can be said that the class that is trampled under the feet like mud, six filthy lives are equivalent to a Japanese town. But not only did they live better in Jiangnan, but they also didn't have to worry about being tested by the samurai, especially after the operation, they were even more loyal to the gentry......

The operation was not done by the latter.

Surgery was compulsory for Yang Qing, and all Japanese slaves imported into Hong Kong had to undergo surgery first.

So if they want to hate, they first have to hate the slave traders, hate Yang Qing, but there is nothing to hate the masters who buy them, these masters can at least let them eat enough, as for the whip to work with them, it is not worth mentioning, the warriors of the Japanese country not only use whips, but also test knives with them! Especially the kind of gentry who even bought their relatives, while taking the Confucian ideology of loyalty and ideological education, while tempting with interests, it is not difficult for them to fight for their lordship.

In addition, there is Jiannu.

It was also an important force that those gentry were able to exploit.

In short, they have the strength to fight.

Of course, not to talk about a real war, but to get some militants, with the support of them behind the scenes, to play guerrillas in the mountains, constantly attacking the land reform teams, changing places with a shot and even hiding in the homes of those gentry.

It's a clever tactic.

As long as they can't be wiped out, Yang Qing has to consider the cost, after all, maintaining a large army to fight in the mountainous area, the cost is still very high, once the cost reaches the time when other things in the imperial court are seriously affected, those civil servants can mediate in the middle and make Yang Qing change his ways. And this is only in the mountainous areas of southern Anhui, if these gentry can really hold on, then the gentry in other places must follow suit, and when Yang Qing has to face a nationwide bandit guerrilla war, he can only give in.

It's a strategy.

"You look pretty smug?"

Her Majesty said speechlessly.

"Of course I'm proud, how many land coupons we have to save, although they are printed, they still have to be repaid after all."

Yang Qing said.

He finally achieved his goal before, and took advantage of the new Four People's Congress to listen to him more, and quickly revised the Da Ming Law, including bribery in the category of plotting against the Great Rebellion. Although those scholars and representatives still angrily denounced this move as pure madness, the new Four People's Congress has completely ceased to be decided by them because of the participation of the representatives of the Northern Huangzhuang. Especially for Li Zicheng, there are no de facto scholars, and their scholars' representatives are elected from among school teachers, doctors, and other intellectuals. The same is true of Huangzhuang District in Hebei, the latter has Xiucai, but they are all Xiucai of Jiannu, and of course they are not recognized in Daming, which means that the representatives of scholars in the entire north are not real scholars at all.

They don't have an alliance with the scholars at all.

In this case, it is impossible for the corporal deputies to turn the tables at the Four People's Congress.

Eventually, the law was passed.

Even if even Shi Kefa protested, it was useless, the only thing he did was to resign from Dali Siqing in anger, and it is estimated that he would have wanted to quit a long time ago, after all, he has been exhausted all these years, and his old people of the same era have already withdrawn. But his successor can only follow the law and sentence the previous representatives such as Cai Qixu and others for the crime of seeking great rebellion, after all, the Ming Dynasty is currently a country with a legal system. Although the judge was lenient to the maximum, such as finding various reasons for their family to reduce the sentence, it was still impossible to exempt the family from the end.

In the end, more than 200 gentry all raided their homes.

Their land was not state-owned, and they began to set up a public estate.

Now it's delivered to your door again.

"Ordered the Third Cavalry Army, the 21st Infantry Army, and the 22nd Army to be stationed in Guangde, Xuancheng and Huizhou respectively to clear out bandits. The militias of Zhejiang, northern Jiangxi, and the above three places were all ordered to enter the state of second-level combat readiness, and set up anti-bandit headquarters in Hangzhou, Quzhou, and Fuliang. The Xuancheng Metropolitan was set up to command the three armies under the command of the bandits, and the other bandit suppression headquarters were mainly local militias, and the Third Cavalry Army commanded Zhang Nai as the commander of the Xuancheng Metropolis, commanding the three armies and commanding the three command headquarters to cooperate with them. In addition, in view of the fact that the attack of the Japanese slaves was carried out by the land reform team, and there must be suspicion of the participation of the local gentry, we call on the people of all places, especially the representatives of the four people in the township, to have the courage to report the criminals of the bandits, and once it is verified, they will be rewarded with 500 yuan each! ”

Yang Qing said.

The female officer standing next to her hurriedly recorded.

"You want to learn martial arts!"

The Empress said.

"Sister Mei Niang's set is still useful, it's time to mobilize the masses, we can't be afraid of wrongs in this kind of thing, as long as we can achieve our goal."

Yang Qing said.

He doesn't care about expansion, Nanzhili's land reform is all watching, he must solve it with thunderous means to deter other local gentry, in the end, he doesn't want to really make the whole country bandits. It's okay to say in other places, like Fujian, southern Jiangxi, and southern Zhejiang, these lofty mountains and mountains, once there are bandits everywhere, it will be really troublesome. After all, there is a cost to suppressing bandits, and he just wants to use Nan Zhili to make an example of these killers, so that the gentry in other places understand that there is no way out of resistance.

"And what's next?"

The Empress said.

"What's next? Next, we don't have to worry about this, just let those old bandits deal with them, and play bandits, let them see the ancestors of the bandits! If Zhang Nai's three armies are not enough, then I will order the conscription of the Huangzhuang militia in Shaanxi, where there are a million militiamen, who can go south to suppress bandits at any time, I want to see how many bandits the gentry in Jiangnan can make! ”

Yang Qing sneered.

The backing of his daring to land reform is because there are these militias in the north behind him, and the Huangzhuang District of Shanxi can mobilize one million militiamen, and Hebei is about the same, they all have no connection with the southern gentry, and they even wish to see the other party unlucky. If the southern gentry dare to make too much trouble, then let these vicious wolves out and clean them up, Zhang Nai, the guy who could clip the gentry out of their brains back then, will definitely be very happy to clip out the brains of the Jiangnan gentry.

Guangde.

"General Ma led the officers and men of the 21st Army to come to protect the peace of Guangde, and the contemptible people saluted the general on behalf of the local people!"

In the mansion of the Li family, a local nobleman, Li Xiucai said with a wine glass.

"Brother Li is too polite!"

Ma Bao, the commander of the 21st Army, hurriedly raised his glass.

He was ordered to enter Guangde to suppress bandits, but this bandit was very cunning, although he often attacked the land reform team, but he never caught the old nest, but only fought with the Ming army guarding the land reform team a few times, and it was also the kind of guerrilla tactics that left with one blow. And not only in Guangde, but also in Ningguo, and even in Huizhou and other places, there were small groups of similar bandits, who constantly attacked the Qingzhang team, and even retaliated against the tenants who cooperated with the Qingzhang team.

Because of their attack, the land reform team could not work normally, and the progress of the Qingzhang was slow, after all, only a small number of those Qingzhang team members could fight, and the vast majority of them were still ordinary civilians. It can only be protected by the army, and the result is that the army has to be divided into small detachments and dispersed, following the actions of the Qingzhang team.

However, the local gentry and common people still showed great friendship to their garrison, which was mainly composed of Guanzhong people.

than Li Xiucai.

After meeting at the previous state banquet, this guy took the local gentry from time to time, took wine and meat to the barracks to work in the army, and also took women to sing. even touted these old bandits who they regarded as demons back then, which made Ma Bao embarrassed, and as soon as Li Xiucai invited him today, he came to drink happily.

"That's as it should be!"

Li Xiucai said with a smile.

"General Ma, in fact, the bandits are not in a hurry, this generation is hidden in the mountains and forests, it is impossible to get rid of it overnight, the general does not need to work too hard, I am in the peaceful and prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty, what can some bandits do? Can bandits still hinder the people from living and working in peace and contentment? It's just that some fugitive slaves are hiding in the mountains to survive, and there are generals and soldiers of the 21st Army, how dare they come out again, and they will naturally starve to death in the mountains after a long time. This hundreds of miles to the south of the mountains, most of them are some uninhabited barren mountains and mountains, why do the soldiers need to bother with this effort, should drink wine and eat meat and eat meat, although Guangde is not a rich place, but let General Ma and the brothers feel at home or do! ”

Li Xiucai said.

Ma Bao looked at him meaningfully.

There is obviously something else in this statement, this is to let him play Kou, it is obvious that Li Xiucai has finally started to act after investing for such a long time.

"This can't be done, this is a task, this bandit can't be suppressed, this bandit can't be suppressed, how can this land be cleared?"

He said.

"That's just a trivial matter, the protector is too meticulous, this Qingzhang has only been a few years? Why bother clearing it now? The last time the household department had already measured it clearly, and no matter how much it was measured, it was still those, which was really redundant. ”

Li Xiucai said.

"How will the public land law be implemented?"

Ma Bao said with a smile.

"We can also be regarded as intersecting, I am free of speech, and I am not afraid to say it clearly, I am resolutely opposed to this public land law, the land of the gentry is accumulated by hard work, the blood and sweat of our ancestors. Although there are a very small number of fish and meat towns, forcibly taking and plundering, but the vast majority are still those who repair bridges and roads, do good deeds and accumulate virtues, and protect the country and seize their land. As for blaming the gentry for the country's rebellion, it is even more nonsense, there are natural disasters inside and there are slaves outside, the first emperor ruled the country lacklusterly, and the court and China are even more traitorous ministers, what does this have to do with the gentry? Taking my father as an example, it was Wei Zhongxian who was angered back then, and he had to resign and return to his hometown and end up depressed. Now the protector blames the gentry for the rebellion of the year, how can the gentry be innocent? ”

Li Xiucai said excitedly.

While saying that, he also looked at Ma Bao's face, and saw that the latter showed no signs of turning his face, and the righteous indignation overflowed.

"Ma Mou, a military general, does not participate in the affairs of the imperial court, but is only ordered by the superiors and fulfills his duties, as for the rights and wrongs of the Gongtian Law, Ma is just a rough person, and he doesn't understand, but you are a lofty mountain, these bandits are indeed not easy to clean. It's not early today, Ma Mou will leave first, Captain He of the fifth team of Qingzhang is still looking for me to protect me tonight, they have to go to Si'an Qingzhang tomorrow. I still have to arrange people for them, saying that I am an army, but I have to protect hundreds of Qingzhang teams in Changzhou and Guangde, and I have to go into the mountains to clear out bandits, which is almost a bare pole! ”

Ma Bao looked at his watch and said.

After saying that, he stood up, Li Xiucai hurriedly got up to see off the guests, and when he went out, Ma Bao looked at a crystal bottle placed next to him.

"It's quite chic!"

He laughs.

"It's for the general!"

Li Xiucai said with a smile.

"This, how does this make!"

Ma Bao said.

"You and I are like brothers, how can we divide each other, come on, quickly pretend!"

Li Xiucai said.

Then Ma Bao went out happily with the crystal bottle.

"Inform Jin Yiwei that the people of his family will be eyed tonight!"

Ma Bao, who got on the horse after going out, said to the accompanying officer as soon as he walked a few dozen meters.

"General, do you mean those bandits are with him?"

The officer said confusedly.

"Aren't you talking nonsense, how can a bandit last long without colluding with the gentry? That's what you generals and I came from, these guys are nothing more than the things we played back then, they robbed and killed people, and the gentry sold them stolen goods. Although the purpose is different this time, if a bandit wants to survive in the mountains, it must be like this, otherwise they will catch rabbits in the mountains? What's more, someone has to supply them with this ammunition, not to mention that it is impossible for them to know the whereabouts of the Qingzhang team, no one sends them information, how can they accurately ambush? Since ancient times, the bandits and the gentry have been a family, and we later rebelled, so we became inseparable from the gentry, but if we say that it is simply like this kind of bandit wandering in the mountains and forests, then there must be a gentry outside to act as a partner. ”

Ma Bao said.

"You're luring the snake out of the hole!"

The officer immediately patted the horse.

"Haha, that's a good word!"

As he spoke, Ma Bao opened the box, took out the crystal bottle and admired the sunset, more than fifty meters behind, Li Xiucai looked at his greedy behavior with an expressionless face, and then turned his head to look at his nephew behind him.

His nephew nodded knowingly.

Three hours later, followed by the bright moonlight outside, this guy quietly walked out of the Li family and quickly disappeared into the mountains and forests, but what he didn't know was that at the same time, two Jinyi guards followed at the same time......
