February 1909.

After the heavy snowfall, the land of Dongmeng is covered in snow, and the temperature that has just risen plummets.

In this cold winter, a notice from He Tianci, the envoy of Dongmeng Town, resounded throughout the grassland, causing a sensation immediately.

"The levy is harsh and harms the people. Collect when you see the goods, regardless of the details. All the things that the rich and poor need, from birth to death, are included in the curriculum. All the merchants sit in Jia, draw them in the place of delivery, draw them in the place of sale, when they barter for money, when they exchange money for silver, and draw them when they exchange money for silver, and they are all difficult to search for shops with small capital, and the life or pedestrians who carry the coils, and the women's dependents carry their bags. In addition to public taxation and layer upon layer of exploitation, there are more than 10 kinds of extortion. Bureau card officials, fraud, erosion of taxes, such as overreporting less, expensive to cheap, concealment of fines. Of the money collected, three cents were spent on the servants and three points on the gentry, and the four cents were not much for the state except for the regular and miscellaneous expenses.

Since He was taught, he has seen the tyranny of various places, cumbersome and harsh, and full of drawbacks, and deeply felt the suffering of the people. From now on, all the cents in East Mongolia will be abolished and changed to commercial tax, and the fixed amount will be paid to the Yamen of East Mongolia, and all princes and governments at all levels in East Mongolia will not be allowed to repeat the levy. Anyone who discovers the act of levying money without permission or setting up cards to collect money can report it to the Dongmeng Town Guard Mansion and the garrisons in various places, and if the report is true, a reward of 100 yuan will be awarded. Once the reported person is verified, he will be dismissed and investigated, and if it is serious, he will be killed!

In addition to the money, there are still Mongolian bandits in various places to ravage the township, for the sake of the people, at the beginning of the Gengzi Rebellion, the local government supervision is not effective. As a result, guns are overflowing, there are countless private troops in regimental training, assassination brawls are common, and in order to ensure the peace of hundreds of thousands of people's homes in Dongmeng, it is announced at the same time! Within two days. Those who surrender their guns on their own and disband the private army will not be held accountable, and those who fail to hand in within the time limit will resist the new policy, and once they are confiscated, their family property will be confiscated. A reward of $100 will also be given to those who report the truth. If there is violent resistance, the garrisons everywhere do not need to report and kill!

The foundation of the country where merchants and farmers pay taxes, and paying guns is for the peace of the people! The above two orders must be strictly implemented by local governments, and all favoritism, malpractice, concealment, concealment, and failure to report will be investigated and dealt with, and national law will not tolerate it! All taxes and confiscation of family property are used for the government, the army, and the people's livelihood.

The first year of Xuantong. Dongmeng Town Guard, Army Eleventh Town Commander, He Tianci"

As soon as this order was issued, notices were immediately posted in Taonan, Tongliao, Xing'an, and Chifeng under He Tianci's rule.

"Lao Jia, you know how to read, can you show me what this notice above says?" The large-character notice attracted a large crowd of onlookers.

"It is not allowed to set up a private levy, and the fixed amount is paid to the passage of the Dongmeng Yamen, and the princes and governments are not allowed to repeat the levy."

"Oh yes. This Lord He is really a living bodhisattva. "Jacques Timur is a domestic slave of the prince of Guifu, and this time he heard the news that the prince's family was not allowed to set up private money, and he almost jumped up in a hurry.

"Okay, ......" immediately caused a sensation in the crowd, and it was not allowed to set up private money, which greatly reduced the burden of these peasants, so that they could put aside their worries more and work hard.

"There's no that. I'm not done yet...... I wouldn't have told you if I had known. Lao Jia Lian sighed, he originally wanted to show off his culture in the crowd, but he didn't appreciate it, and next time they used themselves, he said that he wouldn't read it to them.

The same notice. Some people rejoice, while others are sad.

Xing'an, which is also in Dongmeng, the Sun brothers couldn't be happy anymore after seeing this notice.

"Brother, you said he asked us to disband the militia group, what should we do?" After getting the news, Sun Dehu ran home as soon as possible and informed his eldest brother Sun Delong.

"What? Are you telling the truth? Sun Delong put down the cigarette pouch and pot in his mouth, and stood up suddenly.

"Really, brother, I didn't lie to you, this white letter is written in black letters." Sun Dehu is quite smart, and when he was in Xing'an City, he hired a literate gentleman to copy it.

", you, if my brother is literate, what kind of bandit will he be." Sun Delong glared at Sun Dehu angrily.

Sun Delong and Sun Dehu brothers, originally Xing'an bandits, and later the grassland bandits, the two saw the momentum, they took refuge in Jing'an's silver toss, taking advantage of the chaos of the grassland is also robbed of a lot of things, but I didn't expect this silver toast to be bad, the first one met the eleventh town of the new army, after the silver toast was killed in battle, the two brothers took more than 100 people back to Xing'an to set up a militia group.

After Du Lisan's troops were stationed in Xing'an, Sun Delong bribed Du Lisan's subordinate Guo Qikai with the silver in his hand.

As soon as he heard that He Tianci asked for the dissolution of the militia group, the eldest brother Sun Delong was also panicked, pacing back and forth in the room, rubbing his hands even more, nervous and didn't know where to put his hands, so he simply picked up the cigarette bag and pot, and smoked it.

After a few puffs of cigarettes, Sun Delong's state of mind stabilized a lot, he sighed, took out a bag of silver and said, "Huzi, you take this bag of silver and go to Guo Guandao overnight, it is estimated that he will help us." ”

"Uh-huh," Sun Delong agreed.

"Come back, come back." As soon as Huzi went out, Sun Delong felt that something was still wrong, and instructed Sun Delong: "If Guo Qi opens and Guo Guan doesn't help us, you will threaten him and stab him for accepting bribes to the Dongmeng Town Guard Mansion." ”

As soon as Sun Dehu left, Sun Delong picked up the cigarette bag and pot again, and smoked non-stop, and the room was soon filled with "smoke" smoke.

"Ahem"

A gust of cold wind slipped in through the window, and I don't know if it was the smoke that choked back, or the effect of the cold wind, Sun Delong began to cough, since He Tianci attacked Jing'an County, Sun Delong had dealt with He Tianci, He Tianci's means He knew it, although his younger brother Sun Dehu went to ask Guo Qi to help, but if He Tianci was serious, I am afraid that even Du Lisan himself would not be able to save himself.

"Do you really want to disband the security corps on your own?" He also thought about disbanding the militia group, but from the things he had committed before, He Tianci definitely couldn't let him go, thinking about this, Sun Delong felt even colder, put on his shoes, and prepared to close the door, but when he pulled the door, he found that the door was originally closed.
