Fuzhou, Fujian, Wang Yide, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, looked at the situation reported below, and his face was gloomy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Dong Weng, what's wrong?"

Wang Yide said directly: "The female traitor Qiu Erniang began to encroach on the countryside below, brutally suppressed the gentry in those villages, confiscated the land, and burned all kinds of land deeds issued by the Qing Dynasty. Began to distribute land on a large scale, recruiting all kinds of traitors. They actually did not attack the county seat, but chose to encroach on the countryside below. ”

The master said carefully: "Dong Weng, isn't this very good?" At least, they're better than the rest of you, because they don't rebel directly! ”

"What a fart, this Qiu Erniang, even the traitors of the Heaven and Earth Society in the north, they are my biggest enemies in the Qing Dynasty. They actually dug up our foundations, and dug our foundations directly in the countryside below, but those people below pretended to be stupid one by one, and did not pay attention to this kind of behavior at all. They even resorted to appeasement tactics, which is really unreasonable. ”

I have to say that few people who can mix with the top are fools. Wang Yide quickly saw that Chen Dingtian's strategy of "fighting landlords" was very ruthless, and directly disintegrated the foundation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's notice, that is, the gentry. These gentry were the foundation of the Manchus, and if they were dismantled, did the Manchus exist and do they still make sense?

However, many grassroots officials, in line with the idea that more is better than less, have chosen a strategy of appeasement. Anyway, they're not locals, so they're in a hurry! At this time, one of the shortcomings of the system of rogue officials was finally magnified the most, that is, these officials did not cherish the local area, anyway, they thought that sooner or later they would leave, and it was better to have more than one thing than to have one less.

But Wang Yide stands taller and sees farther, this is digging up the most fundamental things of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the gentry class!

"Dong Weng, I don't see anything? This Qiu Erniang is just a disease of ringworm and scabies, I think ......"

"Smack!" Wang Yide suddenly slammed the table, looked at this master viciously, and said angrily: "Are you colluding with Qiu Erniang, what did he promise you?" ”

The master was taken aback and immediately knelt down. Wang Yide obviously felt that this master was abnormal, how could he say good things for Qiu Erniang one after another, so that he could lower his vigilance against Qiu Erniang? This master is usually very smart, but why did he make a mistake at this time? This was not normal, so he directly began to question.

When the master heard this, he immediately knelt down. After all, it has been Dong Weng for many years, and after so many years of accumulation, this master does not dare not kneel.

"Don Ong, I'm damned, I'm guilty, I'm damned, I'm guilty, I did get some promises from traitors. However, it's not just me, let alone me, even the various scribes in the Fujian and Zhejiang Governor's Mansion. Even the various fast catching teams in the county have been promised. So we all said good things for Qiu Erniang openly and secretly, and even ...... Work is not contributive! The master hurriedly said it like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

Wang Yide immediately said angrily: "Bastard, can Qiu Erniang, that traitor give you more than me?" What did that female thief promise you, and actually let you betray me? ”

"Dong Weng, she didn't give us gold, she didn't give us silver, she gave us hope." Master said.

"Hope?" Wang Yide didn't quite understand.

The master simply gritted his teeth and said: "Dong Weng, a scribe like us, master, catching fast or something, is a slut in the Qing Dynasty, and it is almost impossible to obtain the official position of the imperial court." We, the master scribes, are the fastest, do the most every day, and are the busiest, responsible for the implementation of every policy of the imperial court. Those fast catchers, they are desperately trying to catch every day, but they are 'sluts'. Even to be looked down upon, there is no hope. On the contrary, we have power in our hands, but we are looked down upon. And when we are promoted, we work desperately, but there is no hope of promotion. We've done so much and yet we ended up being treated like this, is it fair? Is this fair? ”

"Qiu Erniang said, she doesn't need us to do so much, we just need to say a few good words in the necessary lime, and we can't work weekdays. When the time comes, he will lay down this Fujian, and that will also open up the gap between officials and officials. Any scribe can have the opportunity to be promoted to an official and break down the difference between officials. He said that all the corrupt officials who are going to occupy it, not the people are very angry, can also be retained in principle. And as long as the public is not very angry, the original culpability will be written off and not counted. As long as you don't continue to stretch out your hand after submission, you can keep it. Even if it hurts the difference between officials, then we have the opportunity to become officials, instead of becoming the scribes who have no future and cannot get out for generations. ”

"They didn't give us anything, but they gave us hope, hope! Even he allowed us to work for a generation in the future, and after we retired, we could work for a generation, but only for one generation, and we had to be transferred to other places to serve, and we couldn't stay where we were, and there were even various conditions. ”

Wang Yide was immediately furious and said, "Just for this, you sold everything?" Even, forbade you corrupt officials to take bribes, and although it hurt the difference between officials, but you lost the qualification to inherit the inheritance from generation to generation, so you were sold? Even, there are a lot of various conditions, you actually believe it? Why don't they promise more, so that you can sell things for so many conditions? Are you not afraid that they will deceive you? ”

The master sighed and said, "Dong Weng, it is precisely because they have many conditions that we feel credible. If they take care of everything and dare to agree to anything, we will not be at ease. There are more conditions, which shows that they are really sincere! ”

Wang Yide was speechless, and what this master said was also true, if it is too beautiful, it is not true. If you want to win over others, you can just take a big package, and even look like a very beautiful thing. But something too perfect is not real! These slick guys, they've long since passed the time to fool around for the sake of grandiose words and good-looking things.

These masters are very cunning and cunning, of course they are very vigilant, if the conditions are too good, if the things are too good, they all think it is unreal. On the contrary, there are no conditions for this, but the more restrictions there are, it actually shows that Qiu Erniang and Tiandihui are full of sincerity! Although there are many conditions, it is easier to be trusted. On the contrary, if these erections want anything, they dare to pat their chests casually and agree, so that those scribes and masters will not believe it.

On the contrary, there are many restrictions, but it feels real, but it feels the sincerity of the other party. These scribes and masters are quick to catch or something, they are untouchables under the old Manchu system, and they are looked down upon! I can't even take the imperial examination, and there is no hope of any progress. If it really hurts the distinction between the officials, it means that they have hope. Even if there is no hope in his life, his son can take the top class and pin his hopes on the next generation.

Of course, from now on, you can't work from one generation to another, only one generation, and you have to be transferred to other places, which is not a big deal. On the contrary, the other party made restrictions, although it didn't seem so good, but it was more real to feel that Qiu Erniang and Tai Di would be really willing to recruit them, not those casual promises, but really sincere discussions. Otherwise, if they dare to agree to any conditions, then they will not be reconciled, but will think that this is fooling them and perfunctory them. What is not beautiful is real, and what is too beautiful means too false, the most basic life experience of these guys who have long been as smooth as oil.

Wang Yide suddenly sat down and exclaimed: "Could it be that now all the scribes in Fujian and Zhejiang have rebelled?" ”

The master hurriedly replied: "Dong Weng, I don't know, but I think that even if he didn't take the initiative to rebel, he couldn't work hard." Because those traitors are not very demanding, they just ask us to work and not to help, and they don't have to take the initiative to deliver the news. Of course, active transmission can also make meritorious contributions, and priority will be given to promotion when the time comes. Of course, if there are some timid people, they will choose not to contribute to the orders of the court officials. When the time comes, whether it is the Qing Dynasty or they win, they will have to rely on these scribes to catch fast. Even they hope that the traitors will win, because they can take advantage of the situation, and those who are not very angry with the people can be retained and then hurt the difference between officials, although the promotion is slower, but that is also a way. Even the top generation, the next generation may have a better future. ”

"So you don't have to do too much, you don't even need to communicate with each other, as long as you don't work hard. At that time, we can take advantage of the situation and sit back and enjoy it. Even if the imperial court wins, at most it will remain as it is, without any losses. ”

Wang Yide almost went crazy, he didn't think that all the scribes and masters in the entire Fujian and Zhejiang areas would soon rebel. Even if they didn't directly defect, they all directly chose to work and not contribute. And after the traitor comes, he can break through the difference between officials and give them the opportunity to be promoted, and those who have been extremely angry with the people before, everything else has adopted the strategy of not being blamed in the past.

As for even if you are old, you can have the next generation of top classes and strive for greater hope. As the master said, although Chen Dingtian did not give these scribes any gold or silver, they gave them hope. These people are all "untouchables", all of them are "untouchables" under the Manchu system, they cannot take the imperial examination, and they cannot have any future for development. Even the status of a pariah makes people look down on it.

Chen Dingtian didn't give them any gold or silver, but he gave them something that was countless times more valuable than gold and silver—hope.

They have the hope of being truly an equal person, the hope of not being looked down upon because of their untouchable status, and even the hope of developing their lives. These things, in fact, they are not stupid, knowing that these things are important, gold and silver, and they can make themselves feel more at ease.

Chen Dingtian and the others promised that they would not be to blame for the past, and they could even continue to work for a generation. Although the conditions seem to be quite restrictive, it proves that Chen Dingtian is full of sincerity and sincerely hopes to recruit them, not to coax them.

Even Chen Dingtian's requirements are not high, and they don't even take the initiative to ask them to ventilate, as long as they don't work hard in the post. For example, the speed of processing official documents is slowed down, the time is deliberately delayed when conveying orders, and even the initiative to desert during work, deliberately copying a few words in the official document, which is misleading.

Don't look at these as small things, but once tens of thousands of yamen scribes in the entire Fujian and Zhejiang come together to do this kind of "small thing", once this kind of small thing is "multiplied by 10,000 times", it is not a small matter, and the entire administrative system of Fujian and Zhejiang will completely collapse.

"What a mess! Sure enough, it's a big trouble, these people are the real henchmen! What long hair, what twisted army, that's not into the stream! This kidnapping guy is the real henchman, the real henchman! What is long hair compared to them? The million-strong army of the Twisted Army is nothing, it is just a rabble. But they are the real henchmen, and they are the biggest opponents of my Qing Dynasty. ”

"But the court is actually entangled in those long-haired and twisted troops, but it doesn't notice at all that these guys are the real henchmen and the real terrible people. If you let them go on like this, I'm afraid that no one in the world will be able to get through thieves. ”

Wang Yide had clearly felt that Chen Dingtian was the biggest confidant, even more terrible than those Taiping troops. This group of Chen Dingtian really gathered the experience of China's rebellion for thousands of years, and such methods are simply too clever and ruthless.

These guys are not only well versed in the various ruling bases of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but also very familiar with the mentality of the grassroots bureaucrats of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and even the demands of the grassroots administrators who are really responsible for carrying out the affairs of the imperial court. If they are allowed to continue to develop, then maybe they will really become "no one in the world who is not a thief", and maybe even the officials in the yamen of the entire Qing Dynasty will not be able to order the yamen, while those scribes will obey the traitors outside the city. Such a method is too ruthless, too ruthless.

"Gather the Governor's men at once, and the Governor will personally lead his troops to destroy these traitors. This traitor, that is a great trouble in the world, cannot be taken lightly. If they are allowed to become bigger, then more of the scribes in our Qing Dynasty Yamen will become their people. Wang Yide said angrily.
