Chapter 55: It turned out to be a mob
ps: Today's first update, continue to ask for collections, ask for recommendations!
"Audacious and lawless!"
Only one day later, the Ruzhou Prefecture received the official document submitted by Lushan County. Chang Rui played a big spring and autumn penmanship in the official document, and stayed in Lushan County for two or three hours after the Chen family broke the county government, and also transported tens of thousands of stone of grain and materials, etc., all in one province. But he talked in more detail about Chen Ming's audacity and recklessness, and he had no king's law.
Of course, Li Zhao also received a letter from Lushan County early, and Li Tianhe did not dare to expire his term, so he knew in detail about yesterday's events, and even 'received' Chen Ming's threats and intimidation against him through Li Tianhe's mouth.
Chen Ming didn't care much about Chang Rui, but he was very insightful to take Li Tianhe, Huang Biao and a group of officials. If the magistrate of a county breaks his legs because of the mob attacking the county office, it will be a big deal. There are insults to the official body, official position, and even rise to the majesty of the imperial court. Now that Lushan Zhixian is fine, the main Bo and the classic history will be covered up by the impact of the mob.
Yes, Chang Rui did not use the word 'rebellion' to describe the Chen family in the official document, but called it a 'mob'!
Wang Jun and Li Zhao also acquiesced to this conclusion.
"My lord, such a person who has no law must be severely punished." Li Zhao said sternly: "We must not increase the morale of the thieves, so that the brave and brave customs of the mountain people in Ruzhou will rise again." ”
The local governments of the Ming and Qing dynasties did not have the right to mobilize the soldiers of the imperial court - the Qing Dynasty referred to the Green Battalion and the Eight Banners. The Manchu Green Battalion and the Eight Banners were under the jurisdiction of provincial generals and admirals. Only through the military department can they be mobilized across provinces, and the garrisons of various prefectures and counties can be mobilized through the provincial governors and admirals, but the local prefectures can be mobilized if they have regimental training, which belongs to the local volunteers and townships, and does not fall under the jurisdiction of the central government.
You may be able to regard the head of the green battalion and the pacesetters and the Eight Banners as the field group army, while the township brave regimental training can be regarded as the current armed police. Magistrates may mobilize armed police, but not field armies. The admiral belongs to the commander of the military region, and the governor of Henan Province is concurrently served by the governor, that is, the military and political power is shouldered. The inter-provincial transfer of the green battalion still needs to go through the Central Military Department, but in the province, it can carry out tasks such as suppressing bandits and maintaining law and order, but this must be nodded by the number one. In the case that the leader does not nod, the mayor below can only use the armed police under his control. Taking Ruzhou as an example, the Ruzhou battalion has more than 300 soldiers, and the Chen family can mobilize them to 'station' in Qingtiaoling with silver, but without silver, it is not uncommon for the Ruzhou battalion not to even buy Wang Jun's face!
If you want to mobilize the Ruzhou battalion, you must have the nod of the provincial leader. Since Ruzhou characterized the Chen family's behavior as a 'mob', it is within the scope of the local government's impeachment, as long as Ruzhou can smooth things out. That's not a problem.
"This officer should quickly mobilize the volunteers and eradicate this gang of bandits. But ......" Wang Jun stroked his goatee and made a look of embarrassment on his face. "The state government has insufficient money and food, and I am afraid it will be difficult to ...... in a short period of time"
If Wang Junlai wants to clean up the mess for Li Zhao and Chang Rui, how can he not hug anyone? This is a mess made by Li Zhao and Chang Rui, Wang Jun is willing to cover the lid, but you must also spit out some benefits.
"Adults don't need to worry about money and food, the gentry in Lushan County have raised three thousand taels of silver, thinking that adults are in urgent need."
The Chen family ran away, and more than half of the tenants of the three granges of the Chen family ran away, and the three granges had at least 1,500 acres, of which 400 acres were watered by the Zhaoping Lake. Three thousand taels of silver is only a small part of the many family properties abandoned by the Chen family, and all the Chen family's shops in other places have been confiscated, as well as the Chen family's mansion in the south of the city, and many properties of the Chen family in and around the county.
Of course, Tumenji is also indispensable.
As soon as this kind of thing comes out, the entire Chen clan can't run away. The Chen family has been entrenched in Tumenji for many years, and now they are all in it. Chang Rui didn't look embarrassed, but he couldn't lose money by relying on the Chen family's industry. Even if part of it has to be used to fill the empty county treasury and the standing position.
However, Wang Jun shared a sum of money at this time, and Chang Rui had thousands of acres of land up and down the Chen family to lay the foundation, and he couldn't make money. Li Zhao is better than him in this point, Li Zhao is equivalent to smashing the pot in Lushan County, they played too hard, and they got away with it. But what about the Guan family in Baofeng Zhuge Temple Town? The Guan family can't be reversed, right?
Two pieces of fatty meat, Li Zhao can finally eat one.
Li Zhao never thought that the Chen family would be so bold. It's not the first time he's done this kind of thing, he's never seen any family dare to storm the government and break the county government, although they also left Chang Rui with a face, and at the same time didn't coerce the prisoners in prison, but the Chen family moved out of the county treasury and Chang Ping, and only these two points will have three or five thousand taels of silver to fill in.
There is also the pension of Zhou Tianyi and others, Chang Rui doesn't want to lose people's hearts, and he doesn't want to turn himself into a real loner in Lushan County, so he has to pay another sum of money.
So the Chen family's meat is very fat, but it can't be eaten in Chang Rui's mouth.
Coming out of Wang Jun, Li Zhao looked at the shadow wall not far away, and a wry smile broke out at the corner of his mouth, how can he be better than Chang Rui? I knew that a Chen family could cause such a big disaster, so why bother to provoke them?
So far in this matter, he doesn't seem to have any significant losses, and he can even make a big profit through the Guan family. But how many people in the entire Ruzhou don't know that the Chen family's affairs were done by themselves and Chang Rui? Now that the Chen family is reversed, Chang Rui and himself are sitting on wax. The prestige of officialdom will fall downward.
Tumen set.
What used to be a peaceful town is now completely bustling. The Chen family persuaded people to follow them into the mountains as much as possible, and did their best to buy and collect some daily necessities such as food and cloth, and the Chen family hurried to retreat deep into the mountains.
Xiaonangou Chen Ming still has hopes to hold on, but Tumenji is really not in the slightest possibility to continue to be controlled by the Chen family.
In this place that has prospered because of the Chen family, the only headache for the Chen family is the Huang family. The Huang family's lineage is still only Chen Ming's cousin Huang Song, and the Huang family is unwilling to go up the mountain and fall into the grass. Chen Ming's uncle even said that he wanted to give up Tumenji and move to other places, he would rather do so than follow the Chen family to that dead end!
Chen Ming wanted to mobilize the old lady to 'reason' with the Huang family, but the old lady was unwilling. It seems that in the eyes of the old lady, the current road of the Chen family is also a dead end.
A day has passed, and there is still no movement in Lushan County, but some large households began to mobilize tenants to organize volunteers, and some of them were transferred to Lushan County. I don't know if it was Chang Rui's request, or if yesterday's shock frightened them.
When order is trampled on, these high-ranking gentry will find that their status, their money, does not give them the slightest sense of security. The only thing that can bring them to safety is force!
Chang Rui didn't make any obvious moves, except for putting up a few notices that characterized yesterday's events as a mob storming the government.
