Chapter 369 in Shandong 4
Don't look at the fact that there is a Qufu in Shandong, and don't look at the fact that there is a Confucian saint in Qufu. But Shandong has been a restless place since ancient times.
Let's explain the two generations of the Qing Dynasty. There were early horse thieves of Liu Liu and Liu Qi. Nearby, there is Xu Hongru's incense smelling teaching. What a White Lotus Sect? What a red light? Which is the rebellion of the Twisted Army. What is the Boxer Rebellion. Anyway, these rebellions and rebellions that left a record in history either happened in Shandong, or they achieved great development after arriving in Shandong.
It is unrealistic to say that Shandong people have restless genes in their bones. However, it is very realistic to say that Shandong must have the conditions and factors for people to rebel.
In Wang Shuhui's eyes, whether it was the rebellion of the Ming and Qing dynasties or the peasant uprisings in modern times, Wang Shuhui believed that this was actually a contradictory struggle within the feudal landlord class. Let's take the recent uprising of Xu Hongru's Wenxiang Sect. In fact, although most of the people who participated in the uprising were ordinary people, the entire leadership of the Wenxiang Sect was from the landlord class.
In the feudal era, the landlord class often cultivated its own armed forces by buying, controlling and organizing bandits and bandits through indirect economic support and direct organization of people. Ordinary people gathered in the Wuthering Mountains and forests, it was really a backward way to cut wood for soldiers and unveil poles for banners, and this kind of rebellion was often like the uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, which was easily suppressed by the feudal ruling class.
In the feudal era, all formal bandit armies that could form a team with regular weapons and horses and food were actually inextricably linked to the local gentry.
Just as officials in modern society will serve as the umbrella of the underworld, in ancient society, those bandit armies who can stand up poles to maintain themselves can actually survive for a long time under the instruction and protection of the ruling class such as the government gentry who control a lot of economic resources.
Professor Kong Qingdong, a descendant of Master Confucius, once said that the existence of the underworld is due to a gap in official governance. Under the condition that the productive forces are backward and the rule at the lowest level of the state can only reach the county level, hooligans, ruffians, gangsters, gangsters, gangsters, and bandits and bandits will naturally grow in these empty spaces.
In Shandong in the Ming Dynasty, the governor of Denglai and the governor of Shandong could basically be equally divided. In addition to the direct management of the two important military towns of Dengju and Laiju, the entire Korean region was also under the jurisdiction of the Denglai governor. During the Apocalypse, when Yuan Keli was the governor of Denglai, he ordered the North Korean side to transfer naval forces to support the Denglai Navy and Dongjiang Town. Even Yuan Keli directly intervened in the change of king of the Korean Kingdom and intervened in the domestic politics of the Korean State.
It is precisely for this reason that after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the Korean side, which changed its course and began to act as a dog for the Manchu Dynasty, repeatedly sent envoys to the Manchu central government to express its goodwill, wanting to interfere with the "History of the Ming Dynasty" compiled by the Manchu government. Thanks to the efforts of these Koreans and the shameless literati who surrendered to the Manchus, high-ranking officials like Yuan Keli, who had made a lot of contributions in the late Ming Dynasty and had brought a huge blow to the Later Jin Jurchens, were not included in the "History of the Ming Dynasty".
Of course, this is also the reason why Wang Shuhui, who knew this allusion, ordered the Baath Party base on Jeju Island to arrest and hang all North Korean officials on Jeju Island in the name of Weihaiwei's commander, and demanded that the First Fleet levy a high tax of 50 percent on all North Korean merchant ships on the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea.
It is precisely because of the great influence of the governor of Denglai on the entire eastern part of Shandong and North Korea that the Dengzhou Mansion of the Ming Dynasty, located in Penglai City in the modern society, is a military town, but because the Governor of Denglai undertakes the logistical support of Dongjiang Town and the direct management of the North Korean side, Dengzhou Mansion shows a prosperous commercial city image.
In August 1628, when the Fusseon Trading Company's twelve hybrid 800-ton armed merchant ships appeared at the port of Dengshu, it caused a certain amount of confusion. However, after all, the merchant ships that could dock at Dengzhou Port were either Ming or North Korean, because Song Xiance, counselor of the Baath Party Counselor's Council, had already made a lot of "effort" in the Yamen of the Governor of Denglai, so although it caused a certain amount of commotion, the Fuxing Trading Company soon gained a foothold in Dengzhou Port.
The impact of the Fuxing Trading Company on the capital of Dengzhou was not limited to these merchant ships with beautiful lines and huge tonnage. In less than half a month, the Baath Party production and construction troops who came with the ship built a cement plank road for the armed fleet of the Fuxing Trading Company at the Dengzhou Wharf, repaired a battalion of Marine Corps camps with the building materials that came with the ship, and built the Fuxing Bank and the trading company's warehouse and other related buildings.
By the end of August 1628, a large area of the Fuxing Trading House had been built, protected by barbed wire moats and brick walls. According to many well-informed locals who have visited the Fuxing Trading Company's station, the fortifications at the Fuxing Trading Company's location are much tighter and safer than those at the Dengshu Town station.
Although the actions of the Fuxing Trading Company are a bit violent, but in the era of the late Ming Dynasty, if you don't want to find trouble, no one will work these things. After all, if it is really investigated, according to the system of the Ming Dynasty, merchants are not allowed to wear silk, and their children cannot test their fame. But now the princes in the court, which family is not a wealthy businessman.
As the saying goes: "Don't be diligent, don't be lazy." Specializing in a non-long-eyed one. ”
The experience summed up by the masses of the people is always correct. But the reality is that there are often a lot of people who don't have long eyes. For example, Liu Zeqing, who has just been promoted to Dengzhou General this year, belongs to the kind of person who is not too long-sighted.
However, no matter how blind Liu Zeqing is, he is also a person who makes trouble in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty. So he also knows that he can reach out to some forces, but he can't reach out to others. But the problem is that Liu Zeqing himself has a little bit of an eye, but as the only big landlord family in Cao County, Shandong Province, who controls most of the land in Cao County and the surrounding counties, Liu Zeqing's family slaves have developed a self-respecting local tyrant in heaven and earth for many years.
In the words of Liu Qi, the manager in charge of commerce of the Liu family in Cao County, "On the boundary of Shandong, whether it is the prince of the Zhu family or the Yansheng Mansion of the Confucian family, they must give the Liu family some face. The glory and wealth of the Liu family are spelled out by General Liu's real swords and guns. ”
Regardless of whether the wealth of the Liu family was created by Liu Zeqing's halal knife and real gun, or whether it was relied on Liu Zeqing to take credit for his empty salary, he was greedy, cheated, and robbed. Anyway, as far as the Baath Party is concerned, the Liu family, like all local tyrants, inferior gentry, and landlords, is an exploiting class, a member of the feudal ruling class, and the object of the Baath Party's revolution.
To tell the truth, the Baathistists pinched their noses and used great patience to force themselves in the position of making profits for the people when dealing with the landlord class.
This is also the reason why many of the stewards of the Jiangnan family think that the stewards of the Fuxing Trading Company are actually the cadres of the Baxing Party Business Bureau, and they always look down on everyone with their eyes above the top of their nostrils.
Having said that, the more arrogant this person is, the more he often looks down on others for being arrogant. The steward of Liu Zeqing's family felt that he was superior to others, and he could not see the contempt of the cadres of the Fuxing Trading Company for these landlord class in their bones.
In this way, after the steward of the Liu family did business with Fuxing Trading Company several times, the conflict with the cadres of Fuxing Trading Company became more and more intense.
When contradictions accumulate to a certain extent, they will inevitably erupt.
Finally, in a commercial transaction in September 1628, because the Liu family steward wanted to rely on Liu Zeqing's power to forcibly lower the price, the Baath Party's commercial organization in Dengzhou Port forcibly cut off business relations with the Liu family
