Section 149 It is justice that is regained from what has been lost

The Hakka people are reluctant to come, which is expected, and now they have taken advantage, just like a crow guarding carrion, even if a phoenix flies overhead, they will be vigilant. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Relying on the support of the government, the Hakka people have been smooth sailing in recent years and have occupied a lot of land, and they probably feel that they should live a good life, but they have never thought about how bloody the revenge of the natives will be.

They may now be guarding the land, but at the same time cautiously observing the attitude of others, especially the attitude of the government, for fear that their land will be taken back again, and they are not willing to negotiate with the natives at all.

Compared with the Hakka people, the Cantonese people are much more active, and the Cantonese squires and clans who have avoided living in Xinhui come as soon as they are invited, and when they come to Zhu Jinglun's tent, they cry and grab the land to complain, and they also take out the land deeds they have investigated for several generations to prove theirs, one by one the elderly people are holding babies who are waiting to be fed, crying about the cruelty of the Hakka people, and asking the government to uphold justice.

Ignoring these people's performances, Zhu Jinglun only asked: "Do you want to get your field back?" ”

Everyone nodded.

Zhu Jinglun said: "Okay, this official will help you get it back, are you willing to live a down-to-earth life after you get it back?" ”

Everyone said they were willing, and it was all the ordinary people who begged for a peaceful day.

"Okay, you go out as guides, out of handymen, and preferably with some food, and I'll help you get the land back."

Everyone said that it should be taken for granted, in fact, in order to regain the land in recent years, they have contributed a lot of money and people, and many Yin Shi families have gone bankrupt, some of them used to bribe the government, and some used to recruit village warriors, but in the end they were useless.

"Now you discuss it yourself, where is your field snatched away, and then tell the official where to help you fight?"

Leaving a group of old and young people to discuss in the big tent by themselves, Zhu Jinglun decayed out.

However, he noticed that these squires looked at him with expectation, but there were still strong doubts, they still didn't trust Zhu Jinglun, after all, they had begged so many officials, and no one could help them make the decision, and suddenly came to a magistrate of Xin'an, saying that they wanted to help them regain the land, they were deceived and scared, and they couldn't believe it.

The Xu Min army under the Black Dog continued to come to Xinhui, and now there were already a thousand people, enough to launch a small-scale attack on the Hakka forces.

If it was Hou Jin's Hakka soldiers, I am afraid that they would have concerns about attacking the Hakka people, but these Tan people will definitely not be ambiguous about killing the Hakka people, and Zhu Jinglun is still afraid that they will kill like Ma Conglong and cause new ethnic disputes, so discipline must be emphasized.

Or Zhu Jinglun has always emphasized discipline, after the Swedes came, they directly translated the military regulations of Europe, no matter which country's military regulations system, not to mention whether it can be seriously implemented, in terms of content, not sparing lives is one of the foundations, Europeans have developed to the present, and they have put on a layer of civilization for themselves, such as not robbing, not insulting women, not killing prisoners, and giving prisoners dignified treatment, these regulations have appeared, these rules are the embodiment of civilization on the one hand, and the guarantee of discipline on the other hand, Once an army starts looting, it is very difficult to control.

Zhu Jinglun fully agreed with these rules, so he didn't make any changes, directly copied the army, and let the Swedes set up a professional military court, once someone violated the rules, they were arrested by special soldiers, and convicted after interrogation, it was useless for anyone to intercede, basically when they were in Xin'an, even these most disregarded people were very honest, I was afraid that once they entered a state of war, they would stimulate their animal nature in the barbaric killing, and do something that violated the rules, and then kill them to establish authority, It's not what Zhu Jinglun wants to see.

So he admonished the officers and asked them to constantly remind the soldiers to be disciplined. Zhu Jinglun originally wanted to issue some temporary military orders, for example, he planned to adopt the method of joint sitting, once a soldier broke the law, let the officer sit together, the soldier beheaded the soldier, and the officer dismissed. However, the Swedish advisers were resolutely opposed, believing that the procedure must be strictly enforced, and if Zhu Jinglun wanted to change the procedure, he would have to go through a formal procedure, be printed in writing, and be familiar with the whole army.

They believe that this practice of arbitrarily destroying the procedure will be even more harmful, and will cause soldiers and officers to distrust the military rules, and if the rules are wrong, then change the rules, and after normal procedural changes, if the rules are correct, then implement the rules, and absolutely not add or change new content at will.

The harm of changing the order of the dynasty, the ancient Chinese did not understand, but they also did this kind of thing for a long time, Zhu Jinglun was mainly worried that these people were not controlled, he still has some prejudices against these big smokers, even if he cares, he is lost, and in normal times, he is also very principled.

The Swedes persuaded him to take it, and the only thing he did was to constantly reaffirm the discipline and strive to do so that the good morals of the tradition of the prohibition were not committed.

The squires of Xinhui discussed for three days before they came up with a charter, and everyone wanted to take back their land first, so they continued to argue, and finally decided to follow the time when the land was robbed, for example, the land in Kaiping Shuikou and Heshan Yunxiang was the first to be robbed, so it would be robbed first.

It was not until the beginning of March that Zhu Jinglun sent his troops for the first time, and the Heshan squires provided a large number of young men to help transport supplies, and dispatched a large number of fishing boats, which used to carry them alive, and made them survive by fishing and transporting goods, and now carry them back to their hometowns with the hope of getting their land back.

Take the waterway can go straight to Shuikou City, all of them are an organized unit, and later should be a town, in later generations are passed with the name of the town, in fact, it is a small town with the role of a market, surrounded by dotted villages, basically traffic arteries, material distribution centers.

Shuikou is also like this, geographically close to the Tanjiang River, because of the convenient transportation and the formation of a market town, and because of the convenient transportation, now it has become Zhu Jinglun's first target.

The local squires did not stay out of the matter to regain their land, and in addition to providing the necessary labor and guides, they also sent their own villagers.

In the past two months, they have attacked here many times, but unfortunately they have not been defeated, the Hakka people in Shuikou have built a strong fortress, and they have no way to do it without artillery, and many people have died, so they waited for Zhu Jinglun's army.

Of course, Zhu Jinglun's army had artillery, mainly the British and French forces captured in Guangzhou, and there were also the first batch of infantry guns just manufactured by Swedish technicians, the model was the 8-pounder Napoleonic gun.

was full of confidence, and after landing, he went straight to the Hakka earthen fort, and set up the cannon for a day, but he didn't open the Hakka pillbox, which made Zhu Jinglun extremely surprised.
