Chapter 131: Upheaval in Southern County
"What, Ming Qing was actually put on a position by the Xiang clan?!"
Lin Yuyan was a little slower to get the news, but Ming Zifu did not hide this matter from several high-level Daqin leaders in Nanjun today, so it still spread on a small scale.
"Your Highness, Duke Ming has been very careful when he came to Nanjun, but he didn't expect that the huge Nanjun would be corroded to such an extent by a Xiang clan, and it has changed three masters, but the Xiang clan has always been standing!"
Jing Yi mentioned this, Lin Yuyan still didn't understand anything, and then Lin Yuyan said: "I heard General Chen say that the Xiang family is betting on both sides?" ”
Jing Yi nodded and said: "This matter should be true, the Xiang clan is deeply rooted in Xiangcheng, and the control of the civil administration of the former Deng State has reached a point where it is beyond limit, the Deng royal family, Shou Wang Jun, even if Daqin did not Feng Ci noticed that the accounts were wrong this time, I am afraid that the Xiang clan will continue to be at large!" ”
"I guess Mingqing probably wants to kill people now, and it will be this Xiang clan!" Lin Yuyan said: "The Xiang clan is doing this, but it is a waste of the countless efforts that Ming Gong spent for half a month!" ”
"But ......" Lin Yuyan said to herself: "I'm afraid that Ming Qing will not kill the Deng people in Nanjun in order to appease him, but I am afraid that the removal of the grassroots officials in Nanjun is inevitable!" ”
Jing Yi nodded.
Sure enough, on the second day of the investigation of this matter, the grassroots officials implicated in "concealing land and falsely reporting land properties" were arrested.
Although Feng Ci is not good at words, he is very thorough about the numerical relationship between the registered population and the taxable acres, and after a few days, he has sorted out the accounts before and after.
In this regard, Ming Zifu was very admired, but Ming Zifu also hated the accounts cleaned up by Feng Ci.
Seventy percent of Deng Guo's taxes fell into the hands of the old clan, not to mention the old clan's annexation of land and enslavement of civilians.
These old clans simply eat people and don't spit out bones!
At the moment, Ming Zifu could not suppress the anger that erupted in his heart, and under Feng Ci's suggestion, he directly thought of an excuse to confiscate all the land in Nanjun, including the land.
That is, the southern county has been fighting one after another, and the land deeds are all forged, and the new Qin county will take back all the acres and distribute them to the Deng people!
This is really a stone that stirs up a thousand waves!
How could the old clan of Nanjun agree?!
So the old clan broke the net and launched several mutinies, although Ming Zifu was unable to find out the evidence of the murderer behind the scenes, but there is no doubt that there must be the shadow of the old clan in this matter.
In order to make a safe transition, Ming Zifu recruited soldiers on a large scale in Nanjun, and both the old, weak, women and children could join the army, which was not to lower the standard to serve as the number of the Great Qin army, but to complete a psychological transformation.
That is, from the people of the old Deng to the pawn of the Great Qin.
For this reason, Ming Zifu knew that there was a lot of resistance from the old clan, and he did not hesitate to refer to the huge benefits thrown out by Shanglin Yuan.
For example, the reduction of taxes, and the distribution of housing and land properties.
Naturally, these things could not be easily conjured, and their source could only be the old clan that occupied most of Nanjun's resources.
This is tantamount to putting the civilians of Nanjun and the old clan on the opposite side.
So much so that the situation in South County is becoming increasingly tense and fierce, and it seems that the struggle is back again!
Chen Zhiqing acted extremely quickly, and the Chen clan and the vassal families followed, especially Ming Zifu, who completely delegated power to him, and in less than a few days, he pulled up the Nanjun Daqin army of more than 100,000 people.
Among them, there are only a few young and strong, most of them are old and weak women and children!
For these people who were attached, Ming Zifu did not treat them badly, and directly treated them according to the standards of the border army of Great Qin.
Nowadays, because the granary set up by Daqin in Nanjun is in Xiangcheng, nearly 200,000 people have gathered around Xiangcheng.
The rest of the population of Nanjun was scattered elsewhere, and most of the people on this side of Xiangcheng were homeless people, and in the past, they were either tenants of the old clan or servants.
Ming Zifu issued an order to Chen Zhiqing, ordering him to divide the hundreds of thousands of "Qin army troops" under his command into more than 100,000 troops and begin to settle in other county towns around Xiangcheng.
At the same time, the real Great Qin soldiers and horses had been mobilized, and in addition to the necessary defense, almost all of them were dispatched.
The Xinye Army, the Yulin Army, the Xiangcheng Guards, and even Gongzixin's city defense battalion were all dispatched and began to assist the Nanjun Shouming Zifu in inspecting the local fields and resettle the displaced people.
Such a big deal almost turned Nanjun upside down in a few days!
Ming Zifu fell step by step, and the old clan was already like ants on a hot pot, panicking!
But now that the soup pestle has been transferred, the old clan has lost its external response, and Ming Zifu sent people to look at the old clan strictly, and these old clans also smelled the smell of danger, and they didn't dare to make any changes for a while!
Ming Zifu's overall consideration, Feng Ci and the other Shanglin Yuan's division of fields, and Chen Zhiqing's full cooperation, finally suppressed the situation of Nanjun like a monstrous wave.
By the time the old clan reacted, everything had already become a foregone conclusion.
All the fields and properties in Nanjun were divided among the commoners, and those tenants and servants who were vassals around the old clan in the past also learned that the ups and downs of the Great Qin New Deal that were passed down a few days ago were the truth, so they immediately broke away from the oppression and slavery of the old clan and returned to their hometown!
In the end, even the private soldiers that the old clan relied on the most were gradually differentiated because of the "porridge shed" designed by the county guard, and finally broke away from the original old clan one by one recently and became naturalized into the people of Great Qin.
Ming Zifu's thunderous methods have changed from the mediocre way of dealing with political affairs in Wancheng in the past, and have become extremely decisive.
There must be some influence from the outside world, but after all, it is Ming Zifu himself who wants to do this.
Nanjun gradually calmed down, and a wave of 400,000 people did not cause any turmoil after all, except for some small actions of those old clans in private...... In short, everything is under control.
When Ming Zifu received a "good report" from all over the country, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the hard work of the past few days has made Ming Zifu not really close his eyes for a few days.
It's the end of mid-February.
Wancheng's decree also came as scheduled, but the person who gave the order was not expected by anyone.
That is, the son of the original Deng Kingdom, Ji Xu!
When Ming Zifu learned the news, he was surprised and happy, and then laughed endlessly.
At the same time, Gongzixin also received the news, and immediately sat down on the futon, muttering to himself......
"It's over...... Father's butcher's knife is here! ”
