Chapter 269: Chengtian Incident 3
We all know that China's feudal system is different from other people's feudal systems. In layman's terms, other people's feudal system is engaged in territorial feudalism, that is, those feudal nobles in Europe. Give you a title, and then you have a piece of territory that matches your title, and then you can do whatever you want on your territory. What kind of first night right or something, that's where it comes from.
China's feudal system of dividing territories has disappeared since the establishment of the Qin Dynasty. China adopted a system of power separation and feudalism adopted by the Great Unification of the Central Dynasty. In other words, the emperor divided power among officials at all levels, and then these officials exercised power in various regions through the power they received from the emperor.
In other words, such a thing as a chassis does not mean power, and the official position of managing the territory has a huge amount of power from the emperor. This is why there is a saying that "the county order of the broken family is destroyed, and the government Yin of the door is destroyed". De jure only the emperor had such power, and through the means of power separation, officials at all levels also obtained such power.
In terms of the level of development of the productive forces, the fundamental reason why feudal China was able to last for 2,000 years was that this mode of separation of power was basically suitable for the level of development of the productive forces in ancient China. For this kind of system, unless the social contradictions are fierce to the point of changing the dynasty, otherwise, because of the limitation of productive forces, it is difficult for individuals or groups in feudal society to fight against the stable feudal dynasty.
However, the backwardness of the level of development of the productive forces has also caused serious loopholes in this separation of powers. As a simple example, it is said that such a thing happened on the Leizhou Peninsula in the Ming Dynasty. An out-of-town jinshi went to a county town on the Leizhou Peninsula to take up his post, but on a long journey, the official was killed by robbers. This is nothing, but after the robber found out that the person he killed was the incoming county magistrate, he actually changed into his official uniform, took his seal and ran to the place where the unlucky ghost took office.
It is said that this robber county commander did a good job, and the local area was safe and sound for a few years, and in the end, it was by chance that he was discovered by others.
This kind of thing, which is a little unbelievable in the eyes of modern people, is full of rationality in a feudal agricultural society. Let's think about it, in ancient times, there was no mobile phone fax and no telephone telegraph, and there was nothing to prove a person's identity except a few pieces of paper. As for what this person looks like, what accent he speaks, and so on, no one knows. In this case, the possibility of a robber impersonating a prefectural magistrate for several years is entirely present.
A robber who robs and kills an official on his way to office can pretend to be a prefectural magistrate, so it is completely conceivable to what extent the revival society, with tens of thousands of modern armed forces and a well-organized system, can go.
Originally, after Wang Shuhui became the commander-in-chief of Huguang, he also wanted to talk to Yao Zongwenxu, the governor of Huguang, for a period of time. In his opinion, after knowing his relationship with the Zhijiang Palace, the Emperor of the Apocalypse and Wei Zhongxian, this bureaucrat who came up by licking his beard should still be easier to deal with. In any case, the profits made by the Fuxing Society from the sale of manufactured products every month and every year can easily cover the tax revenue of the entire Huguang area. So this guy should be more honest.
But what Wang Shuhui didn't expect was that this dog thing, who relied on flattery and flattery in front of Wei Zhongxian and had no discipline at all, actually pretended to be a big clove of garlic in front of him. He, a shameless eunuch, actually put on a stand as a civil official in front of him, and he was about to do something at every turn.
What's more, Wang Shuhui found that he couldn't communicate with this dog with a civil official shelf at all. This mallet, who doesn't know anything, often interferes and interferes with the affairs of the general army's yamen. Moreover, he also tried in vain to get involved in the authority of the Fuxing Army, which was in charge of public security and safety in Wuchang Province. Under his instruction, the more than 1,000 personal soldiers of the governor Yamen carried out a lot of damage to the order of Wuchang Mansion.
In the end, after Yao Zongwen instructed them to stretch out their hands to the industrial zone of Wuchang Wharf, Wang Shuhui made up his mind and directly ordered the troops of the Fuxing Army in Wuchang Mansion to disarm all Yao Zongwen's men and arrest them to the Fuxing Society's labor reform corps for labor reform after shooting dozens of soldiers who violated the law and discipline.
Subsequently, Wang Shuhui ordered the local party committees to immediately arrest officials and family members at all levels in their localities and send them to the newly established concentration camps of the Fuxing Society for management. After Wang Shuhui's order was issued, except for Zhang Hong, who was spared by the Huguang political envoy, all the officials and their families in the prefectures and counties under the control of the Fuxing Society in the Huguang area were spared and became ordinary laborers in the concentration camps.
Of course, Yao Zongwen, the governor of Huguang, did not receive any special treatment. He is currently working hard in a mine in Daye County, working hard every day for three cornmeal nests.
So, after these civil servants were arrested and sent to the concentration camps of the Renaissance Society, did the Renaissance Society become a rebel rebel force?
This kind of thing has to be looked at this way. As far as the imperial court is concerned, they actually don't care about what the local officials do, as long as they can pay the annual imperial grain and national tax on time, it doesn't matter whether the local people are living in peace and contentment. The Fuxing Society paid the real money and silver that it did not use at all as the imperial grain and national taxes (the Fuxing Society used a credit currency guaranteed by manufactured products), and the imperial court thought that the land of Huguang was too peaceful and quiet.
As for the officials in the Hunan region outside of Hubei, it was natural that Zhang Hong, the political envoy of Hu Guangbu, who was controlled by the Fuxing Society, was in charge. Moreover, even if there are no more of these officials in Hubei, the staff and masters around these officials are all under the control of the Revival Association. On the surface, whether it is an official document sent to the local government or an official document reported to the imperial court, it is stamped with a large seal and proceeds normally.
In Wuchang Mansion, an official document processing center led by Gu Junen, Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing is handling all kinds of official documents and documents throughout Huguang Province. Just before I knew it, the Fuxing Society had taken over all the power in the Huguang region north of the Yangtze River.
Of course, on the other hand, the size of the concentration camps that held officials and their families, children, and vassals in the prefectures and counties in Hubei was also supplemented by the construction of farms that began with the Fuxing Society.
Even so, steel production is on the right track, and the Fuxing Association No. 9 Iron and Steel Plant in Daye County, which has a designed steel output of 150,000 tons, still has a serious labor shortage.
The documents sent by Mu Nan to the Huguang Governor's Yamen were sent to Wang Shuhui's desk by the cadres of the Wuchang Official Document Processing Center as soon as possible. Wang Shuhui didn't understand why this eunuch of Chengtian Mansion was looking for trouble. But he didn't take it seriously. Space-Time Gate 1619
