Chapter 91 Yongzhou Land Reform Pilot (4)
(Thanks for the melancholy de romantic big tip!) Thank you! After today's mosquito push, I ran naked, and I hope you will support it! )
Zeng Guanlan then shouted: "How many of you have their own fields at home now? Can you support yourself by not renting the rich man's land, but planting his own land? Zeng Guanlan didn't wait for the audience to answer, and replied again: "I'm afraid that the people present who have fields at home are not even half of them, and even if they have fields, they can't support a large family!" And land reform is to change this unfair thing, so that your family has a field and can raise your own land! ”
"Coax ........" In the audience, the villagers were discussing, and all kinds of good voices and doubts kept coming. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The holy soldiers around the high platform shouted in unison: "Silence! The villagers in the audience were a little quieter.
"Everyone, be quiet!" Zeng Guanlan continued, "Wait a minute, we, the Taiping Holy King, will announce the matter of land reform. Before that, there was another important thing that everyone had guessed, that is, the public trial of the bully landlord He Shaofu and others! ”
"Two days ago, the Holy King decided to hold a land reform in Daozhou, and for some reason it was known to these bullies. They secretly gathered thousands of brave tenants from the township, secretly contacted the Qing demons, conspired to cause chaos, and prevented the land reform in Daozhou. Yesterday it was broken by our holy army in one fell swoop! ”
"Some villagers may not know, let me tell you, this He Shaofu is the official gentry of Ximen Village on the outskirts of Daozhou, for more than ten years, encroaching and forcibly buying thousands of acres of fertile land from villagers, and now he has 3,000 acres of paddy fields alone. He is the one who leads this conspiracy! Its purpose is to not want land reform, and it is unwilling to return the encroached fields to the villagers! ”
"Now, please invite two representatives of the villagers to come to the stage and tell their stories!" Zeng Guanlan beckoned down, and the holy soldiers in the audience spread out a gap, set up a bamboo ladder, and the two of them slowly climbed up to the high platform.
"My name is Hu Shuigen, and I am from Xianghua Village, next door to Ximen Village. Originally, my family of eleven people had 20 acres of ancestral land, so I didn't have to worry about life. Unexpectedly, the year before last, since meeting this He Shaofu, everything has changed! A middle-aged villager with a hoarse voice and full of hatred limped to He Shaofu, who was standing on the side of the stage, and asked, "Master He, do you still know me Hu Shuigen?" ”
The chubby He Shaofu was held by two holy soldiers and couldn't move, but he still raised his head with great effort, glanced at Hu Shuigen, and shook his head.
"So you don't remember me? Also, you have harmed hundreds of people, where do you remember so many? Come on, come on, look carefully, I'm the one who accidentally soiled your clothes when you went to the tenant's house in Xianghua Village to collect rent the year before last! Hu Shuigen sneered, and shouted to the villagers in the audience with grief and indignation: "Fellow villagers, just because I passed through a narrow path, I carried feces and accidentally soiled this He Shaofu's clothes, so he asked me to compensate fifteen acres of good paddy fields. When I refused, I had my right leg broken and the officials took me to a state jail. My two sons were so angry that I went to his house to reason, but my eldest and second sons were seriously injured, and I myself was knocked unconscious in my cell. ”
"When I woke up, I realized that I was lame. The family's 20 acres of ancestral land were also sold to He Shaofu for one or two pieces of silver, and my handprint was still pressed on the land deed. ”
"I was locked up in the cell for ten days, and when I returned home, I learned that the ......eldest son who was sent home by them died within a day, and the second son also became a fool, and they were beaten like this, just a bunch of murderous brutes who don't blink!"
"My family is ruined, and there is no way to sue, so I wanted to die. Fortunately, at this time, the Taiping Holy Army came to Daozhou and saved my Hu Shuigen family! Hu Shuigen shouted to the villagers in the audience again: "Everyone said, should He Shaofu be killed?" ”
Hu Shuigen was extremely resentful and accused He Shaofu of doing many evils.
"Kill, kill!" Everyone in the audience shouted angrily.
At this time, another old man in his fifties also walked to the center of the stage.
"Isn't this the old man Shi who used to sing in Xiangshuiwei? It's been a long time since I've seen him, so why are you here today? "There are people in the audience.
"Doesn't he still have a beautiful girl, who has been singing with him, why is it gone?"
"Hehe, you don't know, do you? His daughter is long gone, and I heard that she committed suicide with scissors, but it was miserable. ”
"It's so miserable, what's going on? Tell me about it. ”
"Shh.....hh
The villagers in the audience whispered.
"Folks, many of you who have been to Xiangshui Wei know me and call me Old Man Shi." The old man's hair was gray and trembling, but his voice was loud.
"Old man Shi, why haven't I seen you sing for a long time? And your beautiful daughter who sings together, why don't you see it? Several people in the audience responded.
"These brothers, my Chun'er, you will never see each other again! Because, she was killed by this beast who deserved a thousand cuts! As he spoke, Old Man Shi walked slowly but firmly to He Shaofu, who was being held by the holy soldiers on the side of the stage, and stared at He Shaofu for a long time, the hatred and anger in his eyes gathered more and more, and his whole body trembled.
"What do you ..... you want to do?" He Shaofu looked at the weak old man Shi, leaned close to his ear, and for some reason, he was scared.
"Hehe, He Shaofu, you also have today!" After Old Man Shi whispered in He Shaofu's ear, he bit it hard.
He Shaofu let out a miserable scream! The holy soldier holding him hurriedly pulled the old man away from him, and He Shaofu was already rolling on the ground in pain.
Everyone on and off the stage couldn't help but gasp when they saw it!
I saw that Old Man Shi was chewing something in his mouth, and the corners of his mouth were bloody, and he looked very oothy.
Old Man Shi quickly swallowed the contents of his mouth, and then grinned happily, smirking hehehe.
Feng Yunshan on the stage looked at Zeng Guanlan, Zeng Guanlan spread his hand, saying that he didn't know why this was happening. In addition to arranging other things, Zeng Guanlan hurriedly rescued the scene, he walked to the front of the stage and shouted loudly: "Folks, do you know why Uncle Shi is like this? Will you hate He Shaofu so much? ”
Seeing that everyone in the audience was attracted to him, Zeng Guanlan continued to shout: "Then I'll tell you how He Shaofu killed Uncle Shi's daughter!" ”
"No need, Lord Holy Army, I'll tell you myself, old man!" Old man Shi walked to the front of the stage, interrupted Zeng Guanlan's words, and shouted.
"Four months ago, it was this He Shaofu who passed through Xiangshuiwei to collect rent, and when he saw my young and beautiful Chun'er, he had a ghost idea. People came to tell me that they wanted to buy it home and be a maid, of course I refused to sell my daughter, so I packed up my things and took Chun'er home. Unexpectedly, he refused to let us go, and that night, he called an acquaintance to secretly trick me out of the house, and he led someone to break into my house and ruined Chun'er! Woo...., poor my Chun'er, I couldn't stand the insult, so I committed suicide with scissors that night. …..”
"I sued the government, but when the old man heard that I complained to He Shaofu, he ignored it and beat me out of court. Old man, I wanted to find this He Shaofu to fight, but I couldn't even see him. Fortunately, the Taiping Holy Army came. I have heard that the Taiping Holy Army hates those bully landlords the most and supports the common people. I had hope all of a sudden, so I waited patiently, and finally, until today, I can see with my own eyes that He Shaofu, a brute, has no good end, and I can be blind even if I die! After speaking, Old Man Shi kept crying, perhaps the sadness in his heart was released, and he stood on the stage and cried loudly.
Everyone in the audience had already gritted their teeth when they heard it, and when they saw Old Man Shi crying, they were even more emotional, and shouted one after another: "Bully He Shaofu, it's better to be a beast, ask the Holy Army to eliminate harm for the people!" Kill him! ”
"Folks, you say, is this He Shaofu a bully landlord? Should I kill or not? Zeng Guanlan wasted no time in shouting.
"Stinky bully, deserve to kill, deserve to kill a hundred times!" The villagers in the audience also roared.
"Okay, then let's kill these landlords and bullies first, and then let the Holy King announce the great joy of land reform!" Zeng Guanlan shouted.
As Zeng Guanlan finished shouting, more than ten holy soldiers set up He Shaofu and other bullies and inferior gentry, got off the high platform, and then at the gate of the city, just wanted to order beheading, but were surrounded by the onlookers, the villagers swarmed up, you punched me and kicked, surrounded He Shaofu and other bullies and began to fight, and when Zeng Guanlan reacted, the holy soldiers pulled everyone, only to find that He Shaofu and others had been beaten to death by the villagers.
I saw that the onlookers were clapping their hands and applauding, and they were overjoyed, it seemed that these bullies usually bullied them. The honest villagers, the anger that rises, is also terrifying.
After everyone calmed down, Feng Yunshan stood in the middle of the high platform and beckoned to everyone around, and suddenly, there was silence all around.
"Folks in Daozhou, I am Feng Yunshan, the Holy King of the Taiping Holy Kingdom!" Feng Yunshan shouted, and the hundreds of guards on and off the stage around him also shouted: "Fellow villagers in Daozhou, I am Feng Yunshan, the holy king of the Taiping Holy Kingdom!" Hundreds of people shouted in unison, the sound spread through the sky, far away, tens of thousands of villagers all listened to their ears, and their hearts moved.
"Now, I declare that from today onwards, all the people of Yongzhou Mansion will be registered as long as they are willing to become the subjects of my Taiping Holy Country; As long as you are willing to cultivate the fields and work diligently; As long as you are willing to pay the land tax and rebel against the Manchus with me, you can get the land of my Taiping Holy Kingdom. ”
"Now ,......" As the holy soldiers and guards spread Feng Yunshan's words in unison, thousands of villagers suddenly became a sensation!
Is this true? Is it true that as long as you join the household registration of the Holy Country and pay the land tax, you can get the land that you have been looking forward to day and night? Many people can't help but pinch themselves, only to realize that it is really not a dream!
"Specific policies, there will be notices posted! In every village and village, there will also be holy soldiers and township officials to preach! Feng Yunshan took advantage of the fact that everyone in the audience had not fully reacted, and hurriedly said: "From now on, the people of my Taiping Holy Kingdom are no longer slaves of the Manchu Tartars, everyone is free and equal, everyone has their own land, and they are all the masters of the land!" ”
As the guards shouted Feng Yunshan's words again, the villagers in the audience, as far away as one or two miles away, could no longer suppress the ecstasy in their hearts, and some old men even burst into tears and shouted in unison: "Long live the Holy King!" Long live the Holy Kingdom of Taiping! ”
The deafening cheers resounded in the sky, like a thunderclap, spreading in the sky of Daozhou and Yongzhou.
