Chapter 206 Martial Fighting, Not Literary Fighting
"Soak these things inside and outside the pig cage!"
The housekeeper of the Wang family shouted majestically.
Beside him, hundreds of young people armed with wooden sticks and hoes and other weapons, dragged a woman and two children, plus an old lady, one by one with righteous indignation......
"Steward Wang, please spare us!"
The old lady cried.
"My little chu ghost is obsessed, I don't know what evil is, so I went to falsely accuse his third uncle, he wants to come back to the old woman and I will beat him to death, but they don't have any sins! Steward Wang, please let them go! I'll go with you to kowtow to his uncle, his uncle is a scholar, and my old sister-in-law went to kowtow to him! ”
She continued to cry.
"Phew, our Wang family doesn't have you anymore!"
A clansman next to her spat on her and shouted.
"Yes, connoisseurship!"
"Soak these things inside and outside the pig cage!"
……
The surrounding clansmen roared excitedly.
For these villagers who lack entertainment, immersing people in pig cages is undoubtedly a big show, as for what the baptized people have to do with them or what sins they have, they don't really care about this, they just regard it as a kind of entertainment. What's more, after the incident, Wang Ju's family also killed several pigs waiting for them, in this kind of village, Wang Ju's family is the sky, you must know that the entire village and even the four nearby villages, almost all the fields are Wang Ju's family's. There are only three yeoman farmers in more than 200 households in this village, and they are also close branches of the Wang family, and the rest are all tenants of the Wang family, no matter what their surnames are.
There are still people who dare to run to report the Wang family?
Isn't this pure self-defeating?
"Wang Liu, don't blame us, it's your family's own fault......"
The butler said triumphantly.
At this moment, a thunderbolt exploded not far from him, and before he could finish speaking, he subconsciously screamed, and then his legs went limp, and he sat on the ground with uncontrolled urine gushing out, and the indignant clansmen and tenants around him were also dumbfounded.
"I see who dares to touch the people of Huangzhuang!"
The next moment, a broken cry sounded.
The butler turned his head tremblingly, and looked petrified at a burly man with a long-handled axe and wearing chain mail in the smoke of gunpowder.
Almost at the same time, twenty birds on both sides of the strong man were raised, and then flames erupted, and dense shooting sounded, and then those clansmen and tenants cried wolf, and hurriedly left the mother to scatter in an instant. However, none of the ones who were knocked down, in fact, Li Zhong was not brainless, how could he load a bullet, or he loaded gunpowder and set it off. And just after the fire, those militiamen with Zhangba spears surged forward, quickly protecting the four of Naniang, and more than a hundred Zhangba spears formed a dense forest of spears outward.
This is how the ancestors of these military families drove the Mongols out of the Central Plains, and now they have finally regained their ancestral feelings.
"Li, Li Zhuangtou, what are you going to do?"
The steward on the ground said tremblingly.
It is certainly impossible for them not to know each other.
In fact, the two Zhuangzi are adjacent, but Huangzhuang is a hundred households of Xuanzhou Wei in the past, and Jiangnan Chengping has been in peace for hundreds of years, and the guard is not the militarized castle in Liaodong, and it is no different from the surrounding countryside. Li Zhong is from this place, but later as a guard soldier to the north of the king, but because of his age beyond the standard, he retired in the adaptation and returned to his hometown to be the head of the village, in fact, he is also the captain of the militia, and the housekeeper has also known each other since childhood.
"What to do? Wang Si is now a person from our Huangzhuang, and the people who dare to touch our Huangzhuang, are you impatient? ”
Li Zhong shouted with an axe and gun.
"What does our royal family have to do with you?"
The butler said indignantly.
He also came to his senses at this time, and gradually regained his composure, Li Zhong and these militiamen definitely didn't dare to really hurt people, after all, they couldn't break the law, since this was not anything to be afraid of, the smell on his body and the strange feeling in his crotch made the housekeeper a little annoyed and angry.
"I don't care if his surname is great, he is a person from Huangzhuang, so Lao Tzu has to be protected!"
Li Zhong shouted.
"The surname is Li, you poor soldier, don't think that now that you are developed, you will go to heaven, this place is still up to the Wang family, and our master is still not allowed to go wild!"
The butler pointed at him and scolded.
The two scolded each other like this.
"It's the other way around, it's really going to be the other way around!"
Hidden in the distance in a forest, Wang Juren, who was watching this scene, said with trembling lips.
"Brother Wenxin, today's Ming Dynasty is no longer the time of the Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty in the past, since the loyal and brave marquis of Ji Sichen took control of the government, these military ministers have been flying up one by one, and after the cabinet restructuring, it has become the world of their northern party. Although a few direct ministers are still struggling to support, but Yang Qing has military power and Jinyi Guard, no one can help him, what is it to connive at these rough blanks who are lawless, and the loyal and brave marquis still wants to change the imperial examination before! ”
A scribe of about the same age beside him said, shaking a folding fan.
"Change the imperial examination?"
Wang Juren was stunned.
"Yes, cancel the restrictions on the imperial examination, regardless of the agricultural industry and commerce can participate, the imperial examination is no longer only a test of Shiwen, but to join engineering, agriculture and other subjects, all the scientific examinations are Jinshi, when the time comes, I will be a Jinshi everywhere. These miscellaneous scholars and the scholars of the liberal arts first became the second officer, just like I am now, according to the assessment when I was the second officer, and then promoted to the chief officer. ”
The scribe said.
This is Wang Juren's friend who just passed the exam.
It's just that according to Yang Qing's reform, he first has to be an official position such as the county chief bookkeeper and history, and then promoted according to his achievements in these official positions, he has been appointed as the chief secretary of a poor county in Fujian, but he has not yet left to take office. Not only him, but also the champion of this subject, at this time, the champion is about to cry and go to Jiangxi to be a county magistrate!
And this subject is only a liberal arts.
Therefore, the number of jinshi is the same as before, the competition is not fierce, most of the jinshi can get their own positions, in fact, the vast majority of county officials are seriously uneven, if they are complete, these jinshi are not enough, but three years later, according to Yang Qing's reform, the number of jinshi will swell several times at once.
"Heartbreaking!"
Wang Juren gritted his teeth and said.
is really mad, that is to say, even if he passes the next subject, he still needs to be with a bunch of craftsmen and merchants and other miscellaneous scholars, to become a local assistant official, and then compete with them for the post, if you can't compete with these people, then you will be this kind of assistant official for the rest of your life. In other words, when I used to take just one subject, I had to fight for a lack and break my head! How many poor Hanlin waited with tears in his eyes, and even spent money to dredge up to let go of the vacancy, and then he would have to compete with the Jinshi whose number had swelled several times after he passed the exam!
He can already see the tragic end of his life in an official position such as canonical history, saying that to be such an official, how can he be desperately admitted to the Jinshi, he can be famous now.
"It's really mad, how can I, Jiangnan Shilin, sit back and watch it run rampant!"
The scribe said with the same indignation.
"What does Brother Chen want?"
Wang Juren said.
At this time, a confrontation had formed in the distance, and after the initial panic had passed, the clansmen and tenants were still regrouped under the call of the steward, and confronted the militia, but they could not have the courage to step forward, and the spear array was still blocked! However, the militia only protected the four of them, in fact, they and these people also knew most of them, and neither side did anything, but they were just pointing at each other and spitting.
"Cut its wings, remove its minions!"
Chen Jinshi sneered.
Saying that, he was like Kong Ming possessing his body, pointing the folding fan in his hand to the scene of confrontation.
"How many tenants can Brother Wenxin gather?"
He said.
"There are always more than a thousand."
Wang Juren said.
"And what about the other gentry who are implicated?"
Chen Jinshi said.
"Ten thousand people are not a problem, even tens of thousands of young people are just a sentence, but how will it end if it makes a big fuss?"
Wang Juren said.
He already understands what Chen Jinshi wants to do, but he is not a fool, this clearly shows that he wants to use him as a gun, he doesn't mind being used as a gun, being a gun is because he has the qualifications to be a gun, and many people are not qualified to be used as a gun! But the question is what if he is sacrificed? If a gun can be a sacrifice, it must not be a sacrifice.
"It's easy to make a big fuss!"
Chen Jinshi said insidiously: "If you make a big fuss, you can let Yang Qing know that it is powerful, although you let go of your hands and do it, it is best to destroy this Huangzhuang, as long as you do it here, the other gentry who are harmed by the Huangzhuang will follow, forming a tide of destroying the Huangzhuang that swept the south of the Yangtze River." Don't be afraid of the dead, if you want to become a big thing, how can you worry about killing a few people, not to mention that we are here to save the Ming Dynasty, in order to reorganize the dynasty, as long as there is a disturbance in various places, and the noise is loud enough, then the princes of the court will force Yang Qing to cancel the imperial villages in various places. Without these Huangzhuang militia as minions, Yang Qing's hand will not be able to reach down, if he still wants money and food to support the army, he has to listen to us, otherwise as long as we don't listen to him, his decree will not be able to leave Nanjing City.
Brother Wenxin.
As long as you are willing to take this head, the princes of the court and the central government can ensure that you are safe, the royal family industry will not be damaged, and you will not be able to get a first-class person, and the officials will be directly vacant at that time. ”
Wang Juren's blood boiled instantly.
Yijia!
The ultimate dream of the scholars!
However, he still kept his sobriety to the maximum and then pretended to hesitate, after all, he had to maintain his demeanor and reserve at such times.
"Brother Wenxin, that Yang Qing has already proposed in the court that those who encroach on official land will be severely punished, even if it is encroached upon by the ancestors, their descendants will not be spared, and they will be removed with meritorious reputation, and they must be imprisoned for at least three generations. In addition, it is necessary to pay all the grain that should have been paid back from the date of the encroachment, and if it is occupied for 100 years, it will be paid for 100 years, and if it has been occupied for 200 years, it will be paid for 200 years. ”
Chen Jinshi said.
"My Wang family is inseparable from this thief!"
Wang Juren said through gritted teeth.
"Go, gather all the tenants in each village, and say that as long as they come, the rent will be halved this year!"
He then turned to the servant and said.
Chen Jinshi looked at him with satisfaction, with a faint smile on his face.
