Wang Fuchen is a person who leads the troops, so he naturally knows that the bamboo pole can kill people when it is sharpened. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info think that when Qi Jiguang was fighting against the Japanese in Zhejiang, the army was equipped with a large number of bamboo poles to deal with the Japanese swords. Farmers in the past generations have used bamboo poles as weapons, one is easy to obtain, and the other is cheap and easy to use. However, because he didn't know what happened in Songjiang, Wang Fuchen didn't dare to speculate.

As far as Wang Fuchen knew, the previous settlement of debts in Songjiang and other places had indeed offended many gentry and landlords, but most of those who dared to make trouble and resist were punished. The debt was not directed at the people, and most of the gentry were destroyed, how could the people dare to rebel privately without any instigation, what happened to Songjiang made the marshal so annoyed.

Wang Fuchen subconsciously looked at the emergency report in his hand, but he was ashamed to say that he didn't know a single big character. The army carried out literacy campaigns and held literacy classes, but he was stunned that he had never participated in it. Because he is a town general, the head of a town, the ambassador of the security army in the town has nothing to do with him, he can't report to the military marshal's mansion, saying that the town general refuses to read. and Wang Fuchen have a virtue and the blind Li, one horse and one step, two generals, two big and coarse, illiterate pairs.

Zhou Shixiang didn't notice the embarrassment on Wang Fuchen's face, and only said indignantly: "What's the matter with those sect people? Who gave them the guts to besiege the county government? This is rebellion, rebellion! ... It's just that the county magistrate Tang doesn't know anything, and Jiang Guozhu, as the governor of a province, doesn't know anything! What is he thinking in his head, the people will be fine when they disperse? Why don't you catch and not kill? ... If you don't arrest a group and kill a group, the people of the church will not know that the government is powerful, and next time they get a master, will they be as deaf as this time, and just ask them to disperse and close the case? Will the world be peaceful? ... Confused, stupid! Every time this happens, the parishioners will only be bolder, and they will only become more and more unafraid of the law and not take the government seriously! ... Once this court law can't shock people, can it still be called a law! The state cannot be followed, the local government cannot be viable, can the country still be the country! ”

The Qiantang River was not alarmed, but Wang Fuchen felt that waves were surging in the chest of His Royal Highness King Qi, and behind these words, he was afraid that His Royal Highness the King of Qi was full of murderous intentions.

"The matter of the people, according to me, is the same as the thieves in Shouning, but the theft of households is a small trouble, in the final analysis, it is the inaction of the local government, for fear of causing trouble, if there is a deed, the thunderbolt means, there will be no disaster of theft. Diao people are afraid of the law and are unreasonable. It is better to know the reason than to know the law, and it is better to appease them with good words than to cut off dozens of heads. There are no people in the world, and if the law is broken and cannot be threatened, this people will come into being. Dealing with Diao Min, and talking to him about some big truths, there is bullshit, and the only thing they are afraid of is death. But if they know that they will die, they will naturally learn to obey the law. Yao Wenlong did a very good job in Shouning, he made a big move, he killed when he should be killed, he was arrested, he was killed when he should be caught, he was wiped out when he should be destroyed, and he was wiped out when he was supposed to be destroyed. ”

Zhou Shixiang personally released Yao Wenlong to Shouning, and he was also very optimistic about this new fellow countryman. Yao Wenlong's actions in Shouning really satisfied Zhou Shixiang. In fact, the Taiping army had a lot of experience in dealing with Diao Min or dealing with enemies who did not accept the "king's transformation". As early as in Xiangshan, Tie Yi and Jiang He exterminated the local gentry in several townships, and as a result, no one in Xiangshan, whether poor or rich, dared to oppose the Taiping army. The movement of "building villages and establishing townships" has also been carried out rapidly, so that the Taiping army, which has just arrived in Xiangshan, can fully mobilize the manpower and material resources of the entire territory of Xiangshan when its foothold is not stable, and lay the foundation for the victory of the anti-Qing army's three-way encirclement and suppression operation in the future.

On the other hand, looking at the incident of the parishioners in Songjiang now, Zhou Shixiang deeply felt that the old traditions of the Taiping Army have been missing a lot in recent years. This old tradition is ruthless enough, poisonous enough, and inhumane enough. Now it is not a fight against the world, it is not a change of dynasty of the same clan, it is a struggle of the Han nation for survival, so it is not benevolent and righteous. Only a dead enemy can make people feel at ease, and a dead tartar can make the Han people sleep peacefully. No matter how many people who should not have died in the process, at least the surviving Han people can live with their chests held up and proudly declare that I am Han!

Zhou Shixiang was deeply dissatisfied with the results of Jiangsu's handling of the incident involving the people, and the personnel of the Military Intelligence Department stationed in Songjiang had already reported the incident in secret, which was even more detailed than the Songjiang note transferred by Jiang Guozhu. From this, Zhou Shixiang probably knows more than Jiang Guozhu, and more detailed than the party Tang of Jiading Zhixian County.

"Stealing is a small problem, but the people are a big disaster. They are not afraid of the government, but they are afraid of teaching temples. They don't listen to the words of the government, but they listen to the temple, and you say, "Won't this temple become the government?" Teaching people in the temple is more useful than the government! There are no two days in the sky, there are no two kings in the country, you can tell me, this group of religious people is still not my Ming people? ”

The more Zhou Shixiang spoke, the more angry he became, and the report of the Military Intelligence Department made it very clear that after Tang Mou of Jiading Zhixian County was flailed to death by the master of the temple, in just half a day, the people of the temple organized hundreds of people from inside and outside the city to gather in the county seat. The people in the temple also spread the post, and thousands of parishioners gathered in Jiading the next day, and parishioners from other parts of Songjiang also rushed to Jiading. What is the nature of this? This is a rebellion!

"It is not allowed to slaughter cattle privately, it is a strict order issued by this king, not against his people, and the people of my Han family are not allowed to eat beef, and the people of the sect have the idea of staying outside the law! The law is established, and no one, no one, anyone, can break the law unless it is changed. In my opinion, this temple cannot be left, and the people of the church cannot be stayed, and they live in the land of our court, but they do not recognize the law of our court, and this is a foreign race. Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. ”

Zhou Shixiang looked at the Qiantang River with a calm face, and he qualitatively determined the matter, the people of the church were not the people of the Ming Dynasty, but a foreign race. To deal with aliens is to use the same methods as they are to deal with aliens.

"What does the marshal mean to dispose of all the local parishioners?" Xu Yingyuan guessed Zhou Shixiang's thoughts, but hesitated to remind: "Dashuai, there are tens of thousands of Songjiang parishioners, there are also many parishioners in the rest of the Yangtze River, and there are tens of thousands of parishioners in the southern capital. ”

"If you are afraid that they will be in trouble, let them go, and you will appease them?" Zhou Shixiang snorted: "The officials of Shouning County were also afraid of thieves in the past, so they connived at them, so that there was a joke that foxes would be thieves." You still can't see the reason for this? ”

"I understand the truth in this, but," Xu Yingyuan squeaked: "Dashuai is about to go north to Liaodong, if the teaching plan is in Jiangnan at this time, I am afraid it will affect the plan to go north." ”

Zhou Shixiang frowned slightly, Xu Yingyuan was right, there are not only more than 50,000 people in Songjiang, but also Suzhou and Nandu, and the total number is probably two or three hundred thousand, all of which are the descendants of the Semu people who helped Meng Yuan in the past. During the Hongwu period, Emperor Taizu ordered the purge of these people twice, and he spared them after being sure that these people had no objection to the Ming Dynasty. However, in the law, the subjects were required to regard the people of the color as the present, and the people of the color were not allowed to walk in the avenue, which almost deprived the people of the right to go out. Later, Cheng Zujing was martyred, because there were a large number of people in the army who worked hard for him, so he relaxed the restrictions on people in the law.

Today, the original hundreds of thousands of people have multiplied by millions, mostly concentrated in the northwest, north Zhili and Jiangnan. Now that I think about it, those lustful people who worked for Cheng Zu at the beginning may not have a speculative mentality, pointing out that Cheng Zu will not succeed in Jing Jing, and they can be rehabilitated and their various rights in China restored. More than ten years ago, there were religious people in Shanxi and Shaanxi who raised banners to attack and kill the Qing army, but the leaders were all officials in the Ming Dynasty.

There is a saying in that religion that officials will apostatize the religion when they reach the fifth grade, which means that all the religious people who become court officials will no longer believe in religion for the rest of their lives, let alone show their eyes for the religious temple, but will try their best to suppress the religious temple, and the internal reason is that the religious temple is very harsh on the religious people, and they want all the religious people to become slaves of the religious temple. The elite of the religious people, who finally succeeded in the imperial examination through hard study, were unwilling to be fooled by the monastery again, and of course they had to suppress the monastery in turn. The main body that caused the Jiading rebellion, Bo Ding Ladong, is a typical example of this apostasy in the Church, but he has no status in the Church, his words are useless, and he cannot restrain the monastery, which makes the situation out of control.

"Ever since I killed Youyunlong in Xinhui, I have been convinced of a truth, the first strike is stronger, and the second attack will suffer. As long as it is a calamity, no matter how big or small, it must be uprooted, and whatever the cost, it must be uprooted and destroyed. Cutting the grass does not remove the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows again, you don't understand. ”

"Kill them all?"

Xu Yingyuan was shocked, and Wang Fuchen's heart also "fluttered" violently. That's hundreds of thousands of parishioners, not hundreds of thousands of pigs, and the commander said that he would kill them all, so how many soldiers and horses would have to be mobilized to do this. This thing is also very troublesome to do, the people of the church are scattered all over the place, but if the news leaks, who will stay there stupidly and let the Taiping army slaughter them. I'm afraid that the moment the Taiping Army butcher's knife is waved, it is the beginning of the real chaos among the people.

"Don't they claim to live in the land of China rather than the people of China? In that case, why should China keep them? Zhou Shixiang's voice was very flat, and he couldn't hear the slightest fluctuation of his inner emotions, as if he was not discussing murder, but a parental shortcoming.

"Dashuai, after all, the parishioners who participated in the riot are a minority, and most of them are still good, and there are still people instigated by Tartars behind this matter." Xu Yingyuan was a little unbearable, after all, the people were not Tartars, and they had no deep hatred with the Han people. According to the intelligence of the Military Intelligence Department, there are Manchurian spies behind the Jiading rebellion, so it is a bit overkill to dispose of all the religious people.

"Those parishioners who did not make a riot were also good before they took part in the riot. Regardless of whether the Tartars are behind this matter or not, it is his people who come forward to make trouble, since this is the case, there is nothing to hesitate. ”

Since Zhou Shixiang has made up his mind, he will not listen to anyone's persuasion, even if his decision is wrong, he will push forward strongly. He can tolerate failure, he can bear infamy, but he will never allow his subordinates to question him. This is the biggest reason for his success since the uprising, and it is also the biggest weakness of his character.

"Send a message to Jiang Guozhu and ask him to prepare for this matter immediately. For specific things, Wang Fuchen, you will do it. The military department will cooperate with you, you just have to let it go. The sky is falling, and I will hold it for you. ”

After the order, Zhou Shixiang thought of something and said to Xu Yingyuan: "In addition, the Nalan Pearl reported by Zhang An, I have a little impression of this person, as if this kid is the son-in-law of Azig, and he should be the cousin of the current little emperor of Tartar." If it weren't for the fact that the net of the Military Intelligence Department was dense enough, it was found that Mingzhu and others were inciting the people behind their backs, and colluding with some gentry who were dissatisfied with our Taiping Army, I am afraid that Jiangnan could really be turned upside down by him. ”

"Do you want the Military Intelligence Department to capture Pearl alive?"

"No need, if he dares to come to Jiangnan, it means that he has put life and death out of the way, and it is useless to catch this kind of person."

Zhou Shixiang waved his hand, Nalan Mingzhu is a big man and an outstanding talent in Manzhou. However, for the outstanding talents of Manchuria, he only hopes that the other party will die early.
