Chapter 603: The Tale of Taiping

The first decree promulgated by Xue Rong after his arrival in Hengzhou was to re-measure the acres of land, re-register the household registration, and implement the imperial court's two-tax policy in Chengde without discrimination;;;;;;;;

The second decree promulgated is to crack down on lawbreakers who evade taxes and crack down on those who bully and dominate the market.

Article 3 of the decree promulgated is to severely crack down on bandits within the territory, and those who dare to help thieves by the military and civilians are guilty of the same crime as thieves.

The first is the key, the second is a smoke bomb, and the third is the guarantee of the first. In particular, the third one is equivalent to hanging a sword of Damocles on the head of the local tycoon, if you make a mistake, the thieves will patronize your manor at any time, take your money, empty your grain, burn down your house, you still can't complain about others, they are all begging for a living under a blue sky, you are allowed to eat meat, you have to let others drink soup, you take all the benefits, others have to pick up the flag to rebel against you

If you refuse to accept and collude with external forces to protect yourself, the government will ruin your family on the charge of gangsterry.

There are many generous and tragic people in the land of Yan Zhao, who is confused and rubbed like fools, who will agree

For a time, the riots organized by Haoqiang came and went, and the target was directly aimed at Li Mao, claiming that Li Mao would not stop and that Chengde would never compromise.

The riots bloomed on all sides, connected by dots, and formed by lines, burning the land of Chengde Liuzhou.

The officers and soldiers were tired of running for their lives, pressing the gourd and floating the scoop, and they were very passive for a while.

What Li Mao can do is to select generals who can be appointed, add troops to Chengde, add things, and add generals, and Chengde will never withdraw troops if it is uneven for a day.

Liaodong Jiedu sent Mo Shenlan an envoy to Youzhou to persuade Li Mao to temporarily withdraw the army, and let him come forward to persuade the local heroes to obey the government, and everyone should take a step back, so as not to make things big and out of control. The update is fast, the website page is refreshing, there are few ads, I like this kind of website the most, and I must praise it

Tian Huaiji sent an envoy to ask if he needed to send troops to help suppress it. The 30,000 soldiers of the Tianxiong Army are waiting for the day, as long as the captain gives an order, they will immediately go north, so that the old people scattered in the countryside of Chengde can figure out who is the new master of Chengde.

Li Mao replied to Mo Shenlan: "The local land annexation in Chengde is serious, the confrontation between the rich and the poor is sharp, the government and the people are in the same situation, the finances are completely bankrupt, the ills are very serious, and there is an urgent need for reform. If the local tycoons do not make concessions, there will be no place for the government and the people. Today's reform is already the mildest of reforms, and it only restores the tax obligations of the rich to the government, and if this cannot be done, what difference can there be between the virtuous people and the traitors?"

Li Mao expressed his gratitude to Tian Huaizhi for his hospitality, saying that the people refused to pay the rent and taxes, and the government tax collectors should come forward to urge the payment, and there was no need for the neighbors to work hard to mobilize the people.

After rejecting the two, Li Mao ordered Shixiong's 3rd Division to leave Texas and head north to join the ranks of the attackers.

Shi Xiong believes that the reason why Haoqiang dared to raise troops to resist was because he saw the weakness of the local government, Haoqiang concealed the acres and taxes, and refused to pay taxes.

On the one hand, the military was ordered to attack and suppress it, showing force, and on the other hand, the local government tried to calm the situation and calm the people, unwilling to fundamentally touch the local powerful and powerful.

Xue Rong is mainly responsible for today's passive situation, he is from a local Haoqiang, and he is close to Haoqiang in his bones, between the poor and Haoqiang, he wants to speak for Haoqiang, and he is unwilling to completely break with it.

It is precisely because of his meddling everywhere that tens of thousands of troops have worked in vain, and their arrogance has become more and more arrogant day by day.

Shi Xiong advocated selecting a few strong, face-saving, and noisy heroes to crack down severely, make an example of each other, and suppress the situation as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

The powerful forces lit fires everywhere, the officers and soldiers put out fires everywhere, the flames were extinguished, and in the future, when they had time to dig deep into the source of the fire, some people came forward to block it, causing a resurgence and continuing to cause harm. Xue Rong has a great responsibility for all this. Cheng De was in urgent need of healing his wounds and recovering the hearts of the people after the war, Xue Rong was good at winning the hearts of the people, and Li Mao lacked such a figure in his hands, which gave him a certain amount of administrative power, but he didn't expect that he would use the power he gave him to deal with himself.

Li Mao sent three investigation teams to Chengde to secretly investigate the attitude of the Chengde local government in dealing with the Haoqiang riot, and after the three teams returned to Youzhou City, they reported that the Chengde local government was indeed perfunctory in dealing with Haoqiang, and the reason for this was that Jiedu made Xue Rong too strict and too harsh on the local prefectures and counties.

The local prefectures and counties were tied hand and foot, and they did not dare to reply to the reasonable demands put forward by the powerful and did not dare to refuse the rude demands made by them, so that the prestige of the government was lost and the local powerful were despised. The prefectural officials were pro-people, and it is not surprising that the contradictions that should have been resolved by the prefecture and prefecture were pushed to the shogunate to be resolved, and it is not surprising that the cart was turned upside down, and all kinds of strange phenomena appeared.

Then there are the two lines of the local garrison and the local government, which go their own way and cannot form a joint force. Xue Rong took the opportunity of counterinsurgency to gradually control the state and county administrative system, while the local garrison only obeyed Li Mao's orders, and the local government and the garrison were two parallel lines, not subordinate to each other, and could not urinate in the same pot, and even did not act on their own, unable to form a joint force.

This is also an important reason why Chengde has been unable to open up the situation for a long time.

Li Mao asked Chang Mucang: "Is there anyone in the Chengde garrison who disagrees with Xue Shangshu?"

Chang Mucang said: "There are people who are not convinced, but they openly sing against each other in this kind of thing, forgive them for not having the courage to do so." ”

Li Mao said: "That is, Xue Dalang himself has a problem, my righteous brother, alas"

Li Mao went south to Yingzhou in the name of a military parade, convened a meeting of the generals of various armies, adopted Shi Xiong's opinion, and circled seven large households from the six states with greater influence, stronger strength, and the most arrogant arrogance, as the "monkey" who made an example of killing a hundred people. He also sent Zheng Xiaozhang to Hengzhou to take over the Chengde administrative system from Xue Rong, and to interact with the military and the local government, opening up the situation in one fell swoop.

When everything was ready, Li Mao launched a propaganda tool to publicize the reasons and significance of the re-measurement of the acres of land, so that the people of Chengde would know the significance of the government's move and the practical benefits to them after the implementation.

Then clearly inform the powerful households: resisting the measurement of acres of land and raising troops to rebel is a road of no return. Only by repenting and turning back in time is the right way. For the repentant people, the government is not to blame for the past, and it will definitely not engage in the system of settling accounts after the autumn.

After occupying the commanding heights in public opinion.

Li Mao showed his sword and gun, mobilized superior forces to fully blossom, and broke through, and the seven selected families have been classified by Li Mao into the ranks of the enemy, and the means of dealing with the enemy can be ignored, and the result is the most important thing.

Under the sweep of the official army, every household was ruined, and they were saddled with the notoriety of resisting the imperial court.

Yesterday, it was still a first-class family in Hebei, and the people were superior, but they fell from the clouds into the mud in the blink of an eye, and they fell into a catastrophe.

The power of the example is amazing, the deeds of the seven households have been widely publicized by the right chamber, and finally accepted by the local heroes of Chengde, and the voice of confrontation suddenly disappeared.

The fire of rebellion that had been burning in the land of Chengde for three months died down overnight.
