Chapter 369: Go and take this guy
More and more things were moved out of the palace, and in less than an hour, the treasury had been emptied. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Zheng Zhi hit his horse and went up, raised his hand to signal to Zhu Long, and then got up and walked to the south of the city. Entering from the north city and naturally going out to the south city, Zheng Zhi had to speed up and rush to Hangzhou.
But the team had just left, and before they left the city, they were stopped by hundreds of soldiers at the gate of the southern city.
The street is not narrow, but it is just such a street, and when the two parties meet, they are naturally blocked together.
Ruda was already shouting in front of his head: "Who dares to block the way to the Sprinkle family, but he is impatient." ”
Zheng Zhi stepped forward, and he already saw Luda's hideous expression.
A military general in front of the head rode a good healthy horse and arched his hand and said: "I am the commander of the soldiers and horses of Bozhou, Han Qian, and I have received an order from the prefect that no one is allowed to leave the city." ”
Lu Da's hand had already reached the hilt of the knife, Zheng Zhi immediately stepped forward and signaled Lu Da, and said: "Han Tong, this is a military order, rush to Hangzhou to suppress thieves, if you stop it again, you will be punished as a traitor, and you should not quickly get out of the way." ”
Han Qian looked at Zheng Zhi twice, but replied: "You can't go out of the city at this time, wait for my family Han Governor's Mansion to come, Tao Governor's Mansion has his own plans." ”
Zheng Zhi frowned when he heard this, this is the meaning of being difficult to be good. The first time Zheng Zhi did this kind of thing, it seemed that there was always something unsmooth, and he still remembered in his heart that when Tong Guan led the troops to conquer Liao, the state capital of the transit state was also robbed like this, but there was nothing at all. I just grabbed the first vote, but I was blocked here, and my patience was really insufficient.
I only heard Zheng Zhi ask, "Do you want to let it?" ”
Han Qian looked back at the hundreds of men and horses under his command, and he didn't panic in his heart, so Han Qian thought in his heart that although these people on the other side looked neat, he didn't believe that these people dared to hurt the soldiers under his command in this county, and only said: "Forgive me." ”
"Okay, Han Tong, if this is the case, then it's no wonder that this official is waiting for you on the front line of Hangzhou." Zheng Zhi turned around and waved his hand after speaking. The left and right soldiers clamped their legs on the horse's belly and bowed forward, which was the preparation for battle.
Zheng Zhi's sentence is waiting for Han Qian in the battle array, and naturally it also points out, and now that Jiangnan is suppressing thieves, it is the Privy Council that transfers troops and reprimands, and it is naturally not a problem to transfer this Korean system to the front line.
At this time, there was also a shout behind him, it was the Tao prefect, and the voice came: "Han Tongzhi, stop them quickly, the money in the yamen has been robbed by them, and your money is also in it." I can't let them go. ”
When Han Qian heard this, where would he let him, he couldn't listen to Zheng Zhi's threat, or he didn't understand, so he said angrily: "It's you who robbed the treasury, such a big crime, and you will be arrested without restraint." ”
"Hmph, Han Tong, how much money is in this treasury for you?" Zheng Zhi asked with a gloomy smile, turned around and said again: "After the order, all of you are ready, beat the horse and rush out, and you must not kill anyone." ”
Even Zheng Zhi himself doesn't know how much money he got on this trip.
Han Qian thought that Zheng Zhi was admitting that he was saying such a sentence, or that he wanted to have a discussion, so he replied: "Thirty percent of the silver in the treasury is mine, and this matter is not discussed, and you must not take any of it away, otherwise you will not want to get out of this city gate today." ”
"Hmph, thirty percent is a lot, no wonder you are so desperate." Zheng Zhi asked just now, just to determine whether this system is clean or not, and it has already been determined at this time. Even if you don't ask this sentence, Zheng Zhi can roughly guess the hundreds of old, weak, sick and disabled people in front of him.
The world of the Great Song Dynasty has rotted to the bones, and honest officials are even more difficult to find. It's no wonder that there are thieves everywhere, and it's no wonder that in the face of Liaojin, it is so vulnerable. It is right to respect the national policy of scholars, but it is a big mistake to respect scholars alone, otherwise it would be such an ending now.
Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver. This is true. It is no wonder that Zhu Yuanzhang in later generations had to peel off the skin and fill the grass when he caught a corrupt official, even if he was only greedy for ten taels, he had to pick off the human skin and fill the straw, and put it in the yamen to warn the later officials, and the first thing the officials who arrived later were to see the human skin that was peeled off in the yamen.
The use of such excessive means to punish literati is really a vivid lesson from the past. It's a pity that this method, with the death of Zhu Yuanzhang, slowly became a dead letter.
"Ruda, go get this guy!" As soon as Zheng Zhi's words came out, he had already started to fight.
Luda heard the order clearly, let out a loud roar, the horses galloped up, did not draw the sword, and rushed straight towards the ruling Han Qian with his bare hands.
Where did Han Qian think that Luda would suddenly attack, and he hurriedly pulled out his waist knife to resist.
Luda was so amazing, Jianma came to this Han Qian in an instant.
Han Qian didn't have time to think about it, but in his reaction, he drew his knife and slashed forward, wanting to block the black-faced and bearded man who rushed over.
Where will Luda be slashed by this Han Qian, his body is slightly avoided, the blade is wrong, and then he reaches out sideways and grabs it, and a man is grabbed by the volley, and Luda is pressed on the horseback with both hands.
Zheng Zhi also came to the side, whipping left and right with the horsewhip in his hand, and the whip whipped on these old and weak people without armor, screaming again and again in an instant, and they all avoided to the side.
Shi Jin, Lin Chong, Yan Qing, Wu Song and others also arrived later, and they did not stop whipping with horses. These old and weak people in Bozhou, where do they have the courage to resist, that is, their own families have been arrested, and they have been whipped by this horsewhip, and they all retreat to both sides, looking for the street store and drilling in.
These soldiers, who are really worse than the bandits, disperse quickly, and the birds and beasts flee like beasts.
The horses were unhindered, and they ran faster and faster, and the army hurried out of the city.
Han Qian, who was on Ludama's back, scolded in front of his head, and was beaten honestly by Luda's old punch a few times.
Not long after leaving the city, Zheng Zhi instructed: "Luda, throw that guy on the side of the road, let him go back and prepare men and horses, and prepare to go south to kill the thief." ”
When Ruda heard this, he didn't say anything, and directly moved the Han to a bush on the side of the road and threw it down. This Han Qian fell off his horse, rolled in the grass a few times, and couldn't stand up for a long time. But I don't know if this Han Qian heard Zheng Zhi's words, and whether he knew that he was going south to join the war. As long as Zheng Zhi returns to Tokyo as soon as possible with a letter, Han Qian will inevitably receive an order from the Privy Council to go south.
Yang Keshi, who set off two days ago, had not yet arrived in Hangzhou at this time, although Yang Keshi had only just traveled most of his journey by boat from the canal to the south, and most of the Privy Council's orders to transfer troops to Jiangnan and the state capitals of Zhejiang and Zhejiang were still on the way.
At this time, the city of Hangzhou was already in flames of war, and Fang La was more than a hundred steps away from the city, watching countless men with turbans constantly crawling towards the city of Hangzhou.
In terms of power and combat power, Fang La in history is several grades higher than Song Jiang. You can know the advantages and disadvantages from the ground laid.
Most of the elites around Fang La are really angry rebels, and in their hearts they want to ask for an explanation for their unsustainable life, and they want an explanation from the Great Song Dynasty. This kind of anger against the court and corrupt officials and thieves gathers righteousness, and the inner motivation and energy are not at the same level. One is to take righteousness as a slogan, and the other is to rebel in the heart.
To put it bluntly, most of the main elites around Fang La are forced to be helpless thieves, and they are the people who were really "forced to Liangshan" by Hua Shigang! Under the command of Song Jiang, most of them are gangsters, who use righteousness as an excuse, but the people who really force Liangshan are very few.
It is Fang La himself, who is a lacquer garden owner and a workshop owner who makes exquisite lacquerware. It was only because of this flower and stone gang that Zhu Mian's Ying Feng Bureau continued to collect free exquisite works from Fang La's lacquer garden in the name of Emperor Zhao Ji. As a result, Fang La's livelihood was unsustainable, and he rose up in anger.
It is to play a banner of "killing Zhu Mian", the land south of the Yangtze River, the response is gathered, and it will be hit under the city of Hangzhou in three or four months, which shows how deep the damage of Huashigang to the people in the south is.
Even if the damage is so deep, it has reached the point of forcing the people to rebel, and in the entire southern officialdom, there is not a single scholar and official who advises the people to be the masters, and they go to flatter Zhu Mian one by one, just seeking to be promoted and make a fortune.
The Ying Feng Bureau was briefly abolished at the time of the Fang La uprising, but it was Fang La Yiping, and the Ying Feng Bureau was reopened. This is what the artist Emperor Zhao Ji did!

In the land of Yunzhou, Li Gang took Zhu Wu, as well as Han Shizhong, Yang Zhi and others and hundreds of soldiers and men to Zengtou City.
Now that Liangshan has been destroyed, this Zengtou City has gone to the enemy, and the previous Zengtou City has been restored, and the fence of the camp that was originally used for defense has also been removed, and the merchants have slowly settled in this Zengtou City, and Zengtou City has naturally restored its previous scenery.
Li Gang was dressed in a dark red official mansion, with two wings and a square crown on his head, and he could already beat a horse and gallop in front of the team.
The minions guarding the crossing in Zengtou City saw an official uniform and hundreds of ironclad knights running not far in front of him, and had already turned back to Zhuangzi to report.
Li Gang even rampaged into Zhuangzi, entered the street, asked passers-by, and went straight to the Zeng family's mansion.
Zeng Rong, the patriarch of the Zeng family, was already waiting at the gate, facing the official uniform from afar, bowing and saying: "I don't know which official is coming, I haven't greeted him from afar, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”
Li Gang sat firmly on his horse, looked at the old man in brocade in front of him, and asked, "Are you the head of the Zeng family?" ”
"Old decay Zeng Lane, it is the master of this Zeng family, I don't know where the distinguished guest Shangguan came from?" Zeng Lane is naturally familiar with the officials of the nearby states and counties, and he always visits during the New Year's holidays, but the young official in front of him really doesn't recognize it, but he doesn't dare to slack off.
"This official is Li Gang, the prefect of Cangzhou, and now he is ordered by the four states to come to measure your Zeng's acres, and I hope you will cooperate properly and there will be no mistakes." Li Gang just got off the horse at this time, and he opened his mouth to get down to business. Since he is here to be embarrassed, he cannot speak well. Since ancient times, Huaxia has reached out and not hit smiling people, since it is difficult to make up your mind, you must stop other people's smiling faces first, otherwise it will be difficult to start.
Where have I heard of the Four Prefectures Economic Strategy, that is, the Yunzhou Governor Yamen has just received news from the imperial court, and this Yunzhou will be under the jurisdiction of Zheng Zhi's Four Prefectures Economic Strategy. Naturally, I haven't had time to hear from this yet.
"Shangguan forgive me, I really don't know that there is such a yamen as the Four Prefectures Jingluo Mansion, why did Shangguan come here to measure the acres of land?" Although Zeng Lang didn't understand, he also knew that this prefect, who was a little too young, also had something to find himself here.
"Measuring the acres of land is naturally to check the land of your Zeng family outside the Yamen field register, so as to make up for the land that your Zeng family has stolen for many years." Li Gang said bluntly.
At this time, Zeng didn't know where Li Gang meant, his face sank, and his mind quickly thought about countermeasures.
Zeng Lane is the big landlord of this Zengtou City, and he is also the owner of this Zengtou City, and the rest of the people are mostly tenants of Zeng's family, most of whom rent the fields of Zeng's family and pay rent to Zenglong. This once made the court pay the field tax. Zeng Lang naturally won't be honest enough to hand over a penny. The number of acres registered by the Zeng family is naturally far from the actual number of acres.
The more money you make, the more land you will buy, and then you can make some money, and then buy property and land, and so on. The family has more or less such means, and the land annexation of both soft and hard is also carried out unconsciously in this kind of means.
The power of the big clans is getting bigger and bigger, and the lives of the people at the bottom are naturally becoming more and more difficult. This has been the case in all dynasties, and in the later period, the issue of land annexation not only made life difficult for the people, but also caused a huge loss to the national finances. In the Ming Dynasty, it was even worse at the end of the Ming Dynasty, which was also one of the important reasons why the state could not collect taxes at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
