PS. Present the May Day update, don't hurry up to play after reading, remember to vote for the month first. From now on, you can enjoy double monthly passes for the 515 Fan Festival, and you can also take a look at other activities with red envelopes!

On the seventh day of the third month of the sixth year of Yongli, after the Fujian Ming army besieging Zhangzhou completed the excavation of the tunnel, Zheng Chenggong ordered the fuse to be lit, intending to blow up the city wall by the collapse method.

However, as in history, due to an error in the calculation of distance, the location where the gunpowder was placed did not reach the city, and after the gunpowder was ignited, a large crater was blown out of the city, and nothing else. When the blasting failed, Zheng Chenggong had to change the siege to a siege, trying to consume the defenders' will to resist.

However, with the appearance of Chen Wen, there was a recurrence on the battlefield in Zhejiang, and the Governor Biao Battalion led by Chen Jin, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, who originally arrived in Zhangzhou three days later, could only stay in Quzhou to guard against Chen Wen for the time being, and the other Fujian Qing troops who came with Chen Jin did not dare to rush over to "send people away" without the cooperation of elite troops. And Ma Jinbao, who arrived in Zhangzhou a month later but was surrounded by Zheng Chenggong, had been disabled by Chen Wen, and he was afraid that even if he took out the courage to scrape the ground to fight, he would not dare to come to Zhangzhou to find death.

At this moment, the Qing troops in Zhejiang and Fujian did not dare to act rashly, and the Qing army in Jiangxi and the part of the Qing army in Fujian led by Wang Zhigang, the general soldier of the left road in Fujian, were still intensively encircling and suppressing the only remaining troops of the "Four Great Kou in Jiangxi", the Pingjiang Bozhang Zisheng Division, in an attempt to remove the threat of the Ming army in Jiangxi once and for all.

As for Guangdong, Shang and Geng Erfan were still busy suppressing the anti-Qing rebels in various places, and Hao Jiushang, the Chaozhou general soldier closest to Zhangzhou, although he had an enmity with Zheng Chenggong, was a self-defending man, and he would never let go of the risk that his nest might be "taken over" by other Qing troops to come to Zheng Chenggong's discomfort.

For a time, on the battlefield of Fujian, Zheng Chenggong had no opponents, and he only had to seize the capital city of Zhangzhou!

Compared to Zheng Chenggong's comfort. Chen Wen, who was in Jinhua Mansion in western Zhejiang, was far less calm than him, and the threat of the Qing army was still there, and in order to raise troops, train soldiers, build forts, military camps, warehouses and other military facilities, and repay land pensions, Chen Wen ordered the expropriation of wasteland, the confiscation of Ma Jinbao and his subordinates' properties, and raised funds in the name of "big loans for the aftermath". These measures have greatly stabilized the morale of the military. And so that the Zhejiang Ming army under his command can quickly gather greater strength.

However, with the expropriation of wasteland and the implementation of the "aftermath loan", except for the undisputed part of the land at the beginning, the handover was barely completed peacefully, and the next expropriation of wasteland by the government and the health office was soon violently resisted by the local gentry and people, and even the implementation of the land in the "aftermath loan" was not as smooth as imagined under the instigation of people with intentions.

Linxi Village, southwest of Yongkang County, Jinhua Prefecture, is adjacent to Yongkang Creek, convenient for water conservancy and irrigation, and the soil is relatively fertile. Some of the gentry secretly returned to cultivate without land deeds.

However, with the issuance of the order to confiscate the property of Ma Jinbao and his subordinates, and the beginning of the "big loan for the aftermath", especially after the "Aftermath Conference of Wang Shiguang to Restore Jinhua Mansion", rumors began to appear among the people that the Ming army intended to seize the people's property like Ma Jinbao, and it spread from the county seat to the countryside at a very fast speed.

Under the bright sun, beside a large field outside Linxi Village that had begun to be sown, a large group of men, women, and children with various "weapons" were confronting another group of officials, officers, and local garrison troops of the government guard station that were far less numerous than them, and in the open space between the two groups. But they are the ones who are the leaders of each other.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the big loan for the aftermath is a decree of the government. Do you not know that it is a violation of the law for you to cultivate without borrowing money, or even to occupy the wasteland that has been expropriated by the guards? ”

The person who spoke was wearing a five-grade official uniform, with a bear embroidered on his chest, and he looked like a public face that could not be found in the crowd, but the only thing that stood out was that half of his left arm was missing. It seems to have been cut off two-thirds of the way from the lower arm.

This person is called Tian Yanghe, who was originally a member of the earliest batch of captains of the Nantang Battalion, and fought with the Qing army in the battle behind the Siming Mountain Palace, and was wounded several times. Although he was treated by military doctors, his life was saved. However, his arm was cut off by the Qing army, and he could not fight again. During the period of Tiantai Mountain, he learned some words and calculations, and when the Ming army recovered Jinhua Mansion, he was appointed by Chen Wen as the Yongkang Shouyu Thousand Households, and also had an official body as a guarantee for the future.

"This land is handed down from our ancestors, it was originally ours, why give you money, you will arrest Lao Tzu!"

Hearing Tian Youwei's official tone, a man with a hoe at the front of the crowd was furious, shouting that he was about to do it. It's just that before he could do anything, he was reprimanded by an old man who was the representative of the people, and when the old man dissuaded the people behind him again, he turned to Tian Youwei and said.

"Tian Qianhu, the law of the government, I and other small people dare not disobey, but these lands are indeed owned by each family, before being robbed by the Tartars, Wang Shiguang returned to his hometown, I and other small people to pay grain out of Ding since they are unwilling people, but if there is no land, there is no way to pay food, and I hope that the Lord of Qianhu will show the suffering of our small people to the Fuzun and the general soldier."

Seeing that the old man said that it was a salute, Tian Yanghe had to return the salute, but before he could speak, a county official next to him said in a strange manner: "Hmph, half a month ago, His Royal Highness the Supervisor sent the new governor of Zhejiang, Cao Fujun, to issue an order, and Chen Dashuai, the former general of the Great Lanshan Army, has been canonized as Linhai Bo. ”

Hearing this, the old man hurriedly bowed in the direction of Jinhua Mansion City, claiming that he was guilty of death. But a gentleman standing beside him sneered: "Those who do not know are not guilty, what is the intention of the master to intimidate the people?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of those people turned angry. Seeing this, Tian Yanghe glared at the master book, who was still a yin and yang weird look, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man up.

"He who does not know is not guilty, this is true. However, in the future, you must remember that Lin Haibo is now a famous lord of the imperial court, and the title needs to be changed. Immediately after, I just listened to him. As early as the time of Tiantai Mountain, His Royal Highness the Supervisor granted Lin Haibo the right to act cheaply, and the aftermath of the large loan is not without interest, and it will be repaid in installments next year, and it is not taxed. ”

Tian Yanghe said that the gentry had already expected it. I saw him step forward and say: "It is true that Linhai Bo has the right to act cheaply, but this big loan for the aftermath is not owned by the ancestral system, if the government regrets it in the future, it is not our small people who are suffering, and you say yes and no." ”

"That's what Mr. Ding said."

"This is the way, and the land is ours. Why give these Qiu Ba silver! ”

“……”

Seeing that Ding Shenyan, a member of the aftermath conference before, opened his mouth to quibble, those people seemed to feel that they were justified and shouted again. Tian Yanghe was not a man of tongue, and the words just now had been accumulated in the past few days when dealing with such incidents, and at this moment, he was dumbfounded by this sentence "not owned by the ancestral system".

As the deputy of the Yongkang County garrison, Qian Zong An Youfu has endured it for a long time, knowing that Tian Yanghe has no words to right, and An Youfu, who is already angry, stepped forward and started to pull down from the armor one by one in front of everyone. It wasn't until his chest was exposed that he heard An Youfu point to the scars on his body and ask loudly.

"You ask the government what qualifications it has to collect loans, right? and he will tell you. Starting from Siming Mountain as the queen of the palace for the people who took refuge in the south, we waited for a series of bloody battles with the Tartars under the leadership of Linhaibo, and it was not until last year that Jinhua Mansion was recovered. Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu's comrades, the scars on their bodies were all wounded during the bloody battle with the Tartars, including Tian Qianhu's arms, and many of his comrades died on the battlefield. If we hadn't driven away Ma Jinbao's mongrel, these fields would still be those dogs, and you wouldn't even have a chance to buy a loan. Now that he is privately occupying the land, do you still know the words courtesy, righteousness and shame? ”

Blessed Ann is very reasonable. Deng Shi asked the people present for a moment, and even some of them had begun to show shame. However, for Ding Shenyan, it is not irrefutable.

"It is the duty of the people to pay for food, and it is also the duty of the officials and soldiers to recover the lost land, otherwise what is the use of you waiting? You can still fight without dying. If you die, you will forcibly seize the people's property and starve them to death. Let me ask, how are you different from Ma Jinbao? ”

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, scholars talked about state affairs and obstructed local administration, and they were used to talking freely. Especially the gentry of Jiangnan. If they are not satisfied, they will often join the gentry to encourage the people to expel the officials. If it was under the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the butcher knives that had not yet dried off the blood stains would still be restrained, but on the side of the Ming court, it was still unscrupulous.

There is no other reason, the emperor Ming ancestor system. Moreover, the current Jinhua Ming army is not monolithic, Chen Wen, the representative of the military, and Cao Conglong, the governor sent by Lu Jianguo, stand side by side, and these gentry are the same kind of civilian officials, so they are naturally not afraid of having no place to say their "truth".

Hearing that this person opened his mouth to discriminate against their identity and clearly show unreasonableness, the officers and soldiers of the guard station and the soldiers of the garrison present were no longer as inferior as the former military households because Chen Wen had cultivated a sense of honor for a long time. Now that this person is so disregarding their lives, how can these officers and non-commissioned officers suffer such a great humiliation, they will immediately carry their weapons and come forward to teach this guy a good lesson, even An Youfu is no exception.

And at this moment, seeing the garrison coming forward with weapons, those people were not to be outdone, and they rushed up one after another. The chief secretary of the county government came with the accompanying officials, the guards Qiantotian Yanghe, and the old man who was the representative of the people, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, but Ding Shenyan, who provoked the incident, retreated to the crowd of the people.

It took a lot of effort for these people to maintain order to persuade the two groups of people to open again, but before persuading them to open, the blades of the two sides have already had some back and forth, although the weapons of the garrison are all wooden weapons used during training, but they are also quite painful to hit the body, and the cooperation of the mandarin duck array also took a great advantage, but the people who were more numerous suffered some losses and were beaten with some flesh wounds.

Although the crowd was reluctantly persuaded to leave, the smell of gunpowder could not be dissipated in a short period of time, and the anger only gradually accumulated to a greater extent. In this way, the confrontation lasted until the afternoon, and seeing that it was about to fall into the night when I returned to the county seat, the people from the county hurriedly returned. And those people, under the persuasion of Ding Shenyan, left some men to keep vigil, as if they were afraid that the army would take advantage of the night to make trouble.

It's just that although these people have dispersed, Chen Wen, who is in Jinhua Mansion City, has ushered in a new round of spittle.

"There has been no such case in the emperor's more than 200 years, and the noble lord is changing the ancestral system without permission. For the sake of the authority of the imperial court, and also for the sake of the nobleman's posthumous affairs, this matter must not be done, and it should be canceled immediately! ”
