Wang Zhang woke up when he heard Pan Zide wake up, and now that a five-grade official has died, this matter has become a big case. In the end, someone must come to the top of such a big case, he is from Shandong, and the prefect Pan Zide is from Henan, neither of them are native to Jiangsu, and he and Pan Zide still belong to the Chu Party, this kind of outsider is naturally a good candidate for the dead ghost.

Wang Zhang, who had figured it out, hurriedly stood up and bowed down to thank Pan Zide: "Thank you to Lord Pan for waking up, or something really went wrong!" ”

Seeing that Wang Zhang wanted to understand, Pan Zide smiled and said: "Okay, you go and write a letter to your teacher, and I will also write a letter to Lord Shoufu, and then you go back and write to the government government according to the normal writing procedure, and I will write to the government secretary and yamen, hoping to delay for a while." ”

Wang Zhang nodded in understanding, and hurriedly rushed out of the city to Wujiang County, wrote a letter to his teacher to explain, and also wrote a letter to his uncle Wang Yunchang, hoping that the uncle would save him.

The next day, Wang Zhang wrote to Suzhou Mansion according to Pan Zide's instructions and according to normal procedures, and thanks to the procrastination of the Ming Dynasty bureaucracy, the document was only sent to Suzhou 30 miles away three days later, and another 10 days before it was sent to the Yamen of the Jiangsu Provincial Government Department in Nanjing.

By the time Zhang Tongchang, the political envoy, saw this 100,000 urgent statement, it had been thirteen days since the incident occurred, and the most important time for dealing with the incident had passed. Originally, it was just a local mass security case, but in the end, it caused a catastrophe due to the inaction of the second-level government of Suzhou Prefecture and County.

After Qingfang, a small landlord in Tongli Town, was arrested in Wujiang County, he was beaten ten boards by the angry Wang Zhixian in the lobby, but Wang Zhixian did not dare to kill Zhang Qingfang. After Wang Zhixian broke out, he detained Zhang Qingfang in a cell and waited for the central government to send someone to try the case.

Zhang Qingfang is not a scholar, naturally there is no preferential treatment for scholars, in the cell Zhang Qingfang looked at the moon outside, hoping that the Zhang family could come to save him soon. But the arrow that Zhang Qingfang didn't know had already been sent out, so it was not up to him to call the shots.

The Zhang family's family advocated that Yaofang was an official in Nanjing, and now Shaoxing is the second master Zhang Lianfang in charge. Zhang Lianfang was overjoyed after receiving Zhang Qingfang's letter of help, not because he was ready to save his cousin who didn't know how many generations had passed, but because he was happy to have a name to intervene to stop the new deal.

The main land and property of the Zhang family are in Shaoxing and Ningbo, and this time the Qingzhang fields are mainly in Susong Erfu in Jiangsu, and there is no major relationship with his family. But discerning people know that the implementation of the new policy is unstoppable, and after the completion of the second mansion of Su Song, it will be the whole of Jiangsu, and then it will spread to the whole world, so that the tens of thousands of acres of land of the Zhang family will be inventoried, and the loss of the Zhang family will be great.

If land is a secondary reason, then the endless court dispute with the Chu party is the main reason.

Zhu Hongsan started in Huguang, and naturally most of the upstarts in the court are from Huguang. And Zhedong contributed a lot in the resistance to the Qing Dynasty, not much worse than the Chu Party, but when the emperor was knighted, Zhedong got less than ten counts, and there was not a single duke and marquis. At the same time, all the elders in the court, most of the Shangshu and Shilang were occupied by the Huguang people, which made the Zhedong faction, which claimed to be the vanguard of the anti-Qing emergency, how satisfied.

However, now the Chu Party in the imperial court is too strong, so strong that the Donglin Party can not withstand the pressure, so it has no choice but to unite with the weaker Zhedong faction and the Guangdong Party, intending to form a joint force against the Chu Party. Now the emperor's new policy is mainly in Jiangsu, which is the territory of the Donglin Party, but Zhang Lianfang knows the truth that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, if he does not give the Donglin Party help, after the fall of the Donglin Party, the next turn will be the Zhejiang Party headed by the Zhedong faction.

The Zhang family's forces were originally in Zhejiang, so although there was a lot of trouble in Jiangsu because of Qingzhang Tianmu, the Zhang family had no reason to interfere, and now Zhang Qingfang's letter just gave the Zhang family a great opportunity.

Zhang Lianfang's calculation is to have another Suzhou tax resistance incident, when the textile households in Nanzhili, in order to resist the tax collectors sent by the emperor, organized more than 10,000 people to smash and loot in Suzhou City, and killed many people in the tax collectors and Jinyiwei, and finally forced the Wanli Emperor to swallow this bitter fruit. As the main culprit, Ge Xian, after thirteen years of imprisonment, finally released him, and in this way, the Wanli Emperor's policy of preparing to levy taxes in Suzhou came to an end.

At that time, the resistance to taxes was ostensibly due to the opposition of some weavers and workers who were dissatisfied with the oppression of the tax collectors and rebelled, but all the officials knew that behind these weavers stood the major families of the entire south, because they controlled the textile industry of the entire south, and the emperor collected taxes from them. There are successful cases as a typical example, so now Zhang Lianfang has the same example, and is ready to come to the Suzhou incident, and it is best to force the emperor to revoke the new policy.

Zhang Lianfang immediately began to use the connections of the Zhang family to engage in tandem in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, using the repressed landlords in the Qingzhang land as a model to persuade the major families to join their own anti-New Deal alliance. It happened that the landlords of Susong Erfu were miserable by the new policy, and immediately agreed to come down under the tandem of people with a heart, and prepared to start action in Suzhou.

You must know that Zhu Hongsan's new Ming Dynasty had a very strong control over the countryside, and the inspection and township mayors in some places had already realized that the people's feelings were wrong, and a large number of landless peasants were concentrated in Suzhou, and the grassroots organizations in various localities reported the situation to the local officials through the channels. However, because of the inaction of Wujiang County and Suzhou Prefecture, the Yamen of the Political Department and the Yamen of the Imperial Prosecutor in Nanjing thought that this was just a normal flow of local peasants to celebrate the New Year, so they did not take it to heart.

On December 27, the eighth year of Shenwu, there were still three days to go before the Chinese New Year, and more than 20,000 displaced people suddenly poured into Suzhou Prefecture, and they only petitioned peacefully at first, hoping that the prefect would give them justice. The meaning of these homeless people is very simple, the landlords have let you arrest them, our tenants have no land to plant, no land and no food to eat, your government should take care of it!

At first, Pan Zide, the prefect of Suzhou, thought it was a normal petition, so Pan Zide agreed to set up a porridge shed outside the city. But these displaced people came prepared, and under the encouragement of well-intentioned people, the hungry displaced people began to smash and loot in the city of Suzhou. At this time, Pan Zide realized that the matter was serious, and while he wrote a letter asking for help to the Yamen, he ordered the inspection department in Suzhou and the guard office outside the city to come to the city to suppress the mob.

However, at this critical time, the inspection of the inspection department and the garrison of the guard outside the city disappeared together, and they could not find their whereabouts at all, and the two prefects attached to Guo County in Suzhou City also disappeared, and Pan Zide wanted to mobilize their officials to suppress the displaced people, and there was nowhere to start.

At this time, Pan Zide knew that he had fallen into some people's traps, and Pan Zide felt bad, so he put on makeup and ran away before the situation was serious. The demands of the displaced people in the city were not satisfied, and they began to set fire to the city, burning down the Suzhou government office, the government office of the Wu County and other government offices, and at the same time looting some shops run by Huguang people in the city of Suzhou.

In addition to Suzhou, the displaced people also burned the Yamen in Wujiang County, where the incident occurred, and rescued Zhang Qingfang, who was locked in the Yamen. At this time, the situation was out of control, Huating County and Qingpu County in Songjiang Prefecture, Yixing County and Wuxi County in Changzhou Prefecture, Gui'an County and Changxing County in Huzhou Prefecture in Zhejiang Province, and Tongxiang County in Jiaxing Prefecture all had riotous activities. At this point, from December of the eighth year of Shenwu to March of the ninth year of Shenwu, the riots in the Taihu Lake basin that swept dozens of counties in the two provinces officially began.

As the supreme governor of the entire Jiangsu Province, Qu Shiyun only received the news from Suzhou on the 29th, and after receiving the news, Qu Shiyun was taken aback, and at the same time justified himself to the emperor, he immediately mobilized the troops of the Inspection Department in charge of his hands to suppress it. The governor was in charge of the inspection department of a province, but when Qu Shiqian wanted to recruit troops, he found that his subordinates could only concentrate less than 2,000 people, and at this time, there were more than 20,000 people in Suzhou alone, and the 2,000 people under his command were really a drop in the bucket! There was no way, Qu Shiyun had to ask Yu Yinggui, the governor of Liangjiang in Yangzhou.

Yu Yinggui was also surprised to learn that such a big thing had happened under his rule, and immediately mobilized 20,000 troops defending the city in Nanjing, ready to send them to suppress the rebellious people. However, who knew that Yu Yinggui's order arrived in Nanjing, and Zhang Chonglun, the commander of the Yamen of Nanjing's infantry, only sent 3,000 people to cooperate with the governor Qu Shiyun on the grounds that the important land of Nanjing could not leave without permission.

Under the constant pressure of Yu Yinggui, the Nanjing infantry commander Yamen sent 10,000 horses to Qu Shiyun in early February, but by this time it was too late, and the whole of Suzhou had been destroyed.

At the end of March, Qu managed to regain Suzhou, but the surrounding counties were still under the control of the rebels. Qu Shiyun wrote to the emperor as soon as he recovered the state, recounting the causes and consequences of the incident, and then emphasized that these were all deliberate actions by Pan Zide, the governor of Suzhou Prefecture, and Wang Zhang, the magistrate of Wujiang County, and could not actively report the truth, which made the chaos uncontrollable. At the same time, Qu Shiyun vaguely mentioned in the above book that the civil uprisings in Suzhou were all caused by the new policy, and implored His Majesty to suspend the implementation of the new policy.

The Suzhou incident was very troublesome, and hundreds of people died in the incident in the past few months, most of them from Huguang, and the provinces also suffered great losses. Originally, the major families of Nanzhili thought that the emperor would be furious when such a big event happened, but after waiting for a few months, they found that the imperial court did not react. At this time, the major families celebrated, and they won another battle with the emperor.

These guys who don't know how to die don't know that Zhu Hongsan is not the Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun, Zhu Hongsan's creed is either not to do it, or to do it, at the same time that the major families of Nanzhili are celebrating their victory, on 17 March, the navy transported the 1st, 7th, and 8th divisions of Qian Yong stationed in the suburbs of Beijing, a total of 45,000 people, to Nanjing, and Zhu Hongsan is going to be ruthless to the family of Nanzhili.
