Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
"The great disadvantage of a country lies in annexation. Born of all kinds, the earth feeds the people. All the fields in the world belong to the people of the world, and everyone has equal rights, not too many and no less. Ji Guogong has the heart of heaven on the body, and Li Shu on the bottom. Special announcement. From now on, under the rule of An**, all the people of Li will divide the land equally according to the head of the household registration, one ding and thirty acres.
or hundreds, or thousands, to form a grange. According to the order, bear the tax miscellaneous labor. Whoever is qualified, after ten years of cultivation, the land belongs to the individual, the title deed is signed, it becomes customized, and the land is passed on from father to son, and no one is allowed to annex the land again. ”
The big red notice was posted, and it immediately detonated public opinion. Although everyone has known for a long time that the fields will be changed, after actually seeing it, they still can't help but be shocked.
Everyone is divided equally, that is, after the elimination of the landlords and gentry and the formation of the grange, the local clans were broken, and those clan elders could no longer control all the clansmen.
An order seems to be uneventful, but in fact it is a murderous and bloody order, clearly declaring war on the land system that has lasted for thousands of years. I want to dig up the ancestral graves of the Ming gentry and bureaucrats!
As soon as Gu Zhenhua arrived in Kaifeng, he implemented such radical reform measures, and everyone immediately talked about it.
"Messy life, it's just a mess! Who gave him the power surnamed Gu, and dared to snatch the land, and the big guy fought with him! ”
The clamor came one after another, and the gentry and bureaucrats in Kaifeng Mansion united one after another, with hundreds of people, plus the entourage, the whole team exceeded 3,000 people, and rushed to the Zhou Palace, that is, Gu Zhenhua's official residence!
"Stop, stand back. There is a life on the peak, and martial law here is not allowed to pass. ”
Soldiers with knives and guns rushed out. Stopped the angry crowd at the street entrance.
"Get out of the way, we want to see Ji Guogong and ask him to take back his life!"
The soldier glared at him and shouted loudly: "What are you, Grandpa Guo is what you can see when you say you can see it, hurry up!" ”
"Well, the governor didn't talk to the old man like that. How dare you let me go! ”
"Yes, do you still dare to kill people? Anyway, there are no fields. If you want our lives, it's better to use the knife now, and see if you dare to do it! ”
These people shouted loudly and rushed forward. And the soldiers raised their swords as well. As long as you dare to take one more step forward, you have to do it.
When the two sides were facing each other, suddenly Chen Qianfu rode a horse in the distance, galloped over, and when he reached the corner of the street, he kicked off the horse.
"What's the matter, the official has just issued martial law, and no crowds are allowed to gather in the city to make trouble. You all go back to me. ”
"Master Chen, where are you letting us go? There is no home. Where are you going? Houper couldn't help but say.
Chen Qianfu knew him, this guy was the largest grain merchant in Kaifeng, and he had also borrowed grain from others, as the so-called eating people had a short mouth, Chen Qianfu barely squeezed out an embarrassed smile on his face.
"Mr. Hou, the general of Jiguo ordered, don't make trouble. No one in this world dares to touch you. ”
"Lord Futai, you are making fun of us, everyone is going to take away the land, how can we still live? The thieves didn't ruin our family, but the officials of the Ming Dynasty did, which is a big joke. We handed over the grain to the imperial court, is this how the imperial court treats us? ”
Chen Qianfu is also a member of the third grade, and he can't stand being scolded by others. His face was gloomy as if he were the bottom of an iron pot.
"Tuntian saves the people, it has been done since ancient times, and Grandpa Tai has done this, if there is a big chaos today, the Duke of Ji Guoda will greatly prosper Tuntian, but also to appease the people and fight against the Tartars, you have to understand."
Zhou Zhihe, the old man, said tremblingly: "The ancestral foundation has been lost, and there is still an old face living in the world, if Lord Futai doesn't give an explanation, we won't leave." ”
Hou Po also said: "There are more than 3,000 of us, if you have the ability, let's cut them all." ”
After saying that, the gang all took the lead and sat on the ground, a large piece of black pressure.
When Chen Qianfu saw this situation, his head was also sweating, and he looked at the soldiers on the side.
"Aren't you going to inform Grandpa Guo, this is a civil change!"
Before Chen Qianfu's words fell, from the blocks in all directions, there was a sudden sound of noisy footsteps, and then countless people poured out, all holding spears in their hands, like a tide, and they surged up in an instant.
There were so many people who came, it seemed that there were at least tens of thousands, and these more than 3,000 gentry looked like reefs in the tide, and they became inconspicuous.
At this time, Wu Kaijie walked out step by step, with a triumphant smile on his face.
"What? Want to be more than people? There are more people who have been ruined by you, and if you want to blackmail the grandfather of the country, first ask the big guy if he agrees? ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you want land?"
"Yes! Think! Think! ”
"Do you support Grandpa Guo's policy?"
"Embrace! Support! Support! ”
The gentry and bureaucracy are most fond of speaking of public opinion, but this is only a means for them to deal with their superiors. When they really confronted the public opinion, these people were also terrified.
"Lord Futai, these are chaotic people, you have to take care of it!" Zhou Zhihe spoke out.
"Hahaha, old man, didn't you just say that you won't leave, these people can just accompany you and save you loneliness."
"I'll go, I'll go!" Zhou Zhihe hurriedly let Jia Ding pick himself up, turned around and ran, and Hou Po and the others did the same, hugging their heads and running away. These homeless people instantly cheered loudly as if they had won a battle, and they were extremely happy.
"Mr. Wu, you really have a way, this official admires it to the extreme."
"I'm still going to say that the wicked have their own evildoers!" Wu Kaijie said with a smile: "Grandpa Guo has already led the troops out of the city, we should take care of the family for Grandpa Guo, don't make any trouble." Especially these gentry and wealthy businessmen who only think about themselves should be strictly guarded. ”
……
Yanjin, Shuaifu.
Zukefa summoned a large number of his lieutenants and generals to discuss the next step of the march.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the regent has asked us to take the land north of the Yellow River. To ensure that the materials can be transported to Shaanxi and exterminate the Liukou, the burden is not heavy. Do you have any good ideas? ”
"The general soldier, I think that Minggou is vulnerable, and our army has taken Yanjin, so we should immediately march and seize Fengqiu, Yangwu and other places. It is best to cross the river directly and take Kaifeng directly, which is also a great achievement! ”
The guy who spoke was named Bayan. It sounds like a Manchurian, but in fact, this guy is the fifth son of the general Li Yongfang, as a traitor family. Bayan has long regarded himself as a Manchurian, and he despises Han people from the bottom of his heart. He was also a warmonger, eager to conquer all the Han people at once.
Zu Kefa faced the Fifth Young Master. Don't dare to be disrespectful. Who made the father of the family have a deep foundation and surrender early!
"The theory should be determined to forge ahead, but the pseudo-Ming governor Chen Qianfu is not easy to deal with, and I heard that Gu Zhenhua also brought people to Kaifeng, this person is not simple, we still can't be careless."
"Hmph, it's not a big deal, don't think about Minggou too much. How could they have the ability to retreat in the southeast, and they don't even have the courage to fight. We have 15,000 troops, what else is there to be afraid of! ”
Just as he was talking, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside, and the reporter ran in.
"Lord Qiqi General Soldier, a person named Hou Chun came from Kaifeng, saying that he had brought confidential news and wanted to report to you!"
"Oh? Let him in. ”
Not long after, a guy in his thirties, in a green coat and a small hat, knelt on the ground and kowtowed when he saw Zu Kefa.
"The villain meets the adult."
"Alright, let's get up and talk." Zu Kefa said lightly: "What is the matter that you came to find this official? ”
"Lord Qiqi, the younger one is Master Hou Po's family, and Master Hou asked the little one to send a letter."
"Bring it."
Hou Chun untied his clothes, ripped them down, and took out a letter. Someone took the letter and brought it to Zukoffa.
Zu Kefa took it and looked at it twice, and suddenly there was a burst of light in front of him.
"Is everything in the letter true?"
"It's true, in the army of Kaifeng, there are many of our master's family members, and the news they spread will definitely not be wrong."
"Okay, if it's true, your master has made a great contribution!"
"Thank you for the cultivation of the general soldier, our lord said, the holy lord of the Great Qing Dynasty is wise, his martial arts are world-famous, and the remnants of the Ming Qi will end, and now he will return to the Qing Dynasty, which is a natural response."
"Hahaha, you're pretty good at talking, you go down first, and we'll discuss it again."
After beating Hou Chun away, Zu Kefa said excitedly: "Everyone, this letter contains Gu Zhenhua's deployment. They deployed along the Yellow River, Yujiadian, Jinglongkou, and Chenqiao Town, these three points were connected into a line, just north of the Yellow River, of which Chenqiao Town was the main hoarding place. ”
"Hahaha, Gu Zhenhua is so stupid, and he also put his troops in Chenqiao Town, is he afraid that we will learn from Zhao Kuangyin and fail to carry out the Chenqiao Mutiny here?" Bayan said with a laugh.
He did have reason to be happy, Gu Zhenhua put out a long snake formation, stretching for twenty miles, which seemed to protect the north of the Yellow River and prevent the Qing army from moving south. It's really a formation that gets beaten everywhere.
"Lord Commander, there is no natural danger north of the Yellow River, it is really a place where my Qing Dynasty Iron Cavalry dominates, Gu Zhenhua put out a long snake formation, just enough to break through a little and collapse the whole line. As the saying goes, the opportunity cannot be lost, and it will never come again. I think I should do it immediately, eliminate Gu Zhenhua and his An **, and avenge King Gongshun! ”
Zu Kefa was still a little hesitant, "Just by relying on an unknown junior, I made a rash decision, I don't think it's appropriate, I still have to investigate it carefully." ”
At this moment, someone ran in, holding a book of arrows, and said, "Lord Commander, when we were on patrol, we happened to meet a group of Ming troops, and they shot this. ”
Zu Kefa took it and took a look, it turned out to be a guerrilla shot by Hu Xin, this guy wrote in the letter that Gu Zhenhua forcibly grabbed the land, established the grange, and forced his old father to hang himself. The gentry of Kaifeng are all in danger, looking forward to the heavenly soldiers, just like the seedlings looking forward to the spring rain, looking forward to the eyes. As soon as the Qing Dynasty soldiers arrived, he was willing to be the leader and jointly exterminate Gu Zhenhua's thugs.
Seeing this, Bayan couldn't hold back any longer, "I can't imagine that Gu Zhenhua is so stupid, who doesn't know that the world of the Ming Dynasty is dominated by the gentry, and he dares to go against these gentry, isn't he looking for death!" Lord Commander, don't hesitate any longer, eliminate Gu Zhenhua and take Kaifeng, we can all increase our official ranks, please be rewarded. ”
Zu Kefa thought for a long time, and finally nodded, "Since this is the case, then send troops, be sure to kill Gu Zhenhua, this guy, and use his head to build a Jingguan!" ”
Zu Kefa and Bayan immediately gathered 15,000 horse infantry soldiers and galloped south with the fastest speed, rushing straight to the north bank of the Yellow River.
At the same time, a fleet of ships was also slowly swimming against the current and entering the ground of Kaifeng.
In the night, the fleet stopped at Lanyang, which was eighty miles away from Kaifeng. What is surprising is that it was Gu Zhenhua who greeted the fleet!
It was really surprising that this Duke of Ji Guo, who was supposed to be a hundred miles away and commanded the defense of the Yellow River, actually ran to Lanyang to meet a mysterious fleet!
But what is even more surprising is that the warehouse that was supposed to contain grain was opened and loaded with a partial van.
It was Gao Hongtu who was in charge of this fleet, and after meeting Gu Zhenhua, the two of them grabbed each other's hands tightly.
"Third brother, you've worked hard these days."
Gao Hongtu said with a smile: "It's nothing hard, it's just a panic, watching other brothers kill and slash everywhere, and the merits are countless, I am like carrying twenty-five rats in my arms, scratching my heart with a hundred claws!" ”
"Hahaha, this time there is no need to worry about it, it's time for our artillery battalion to show its skills! How's the preparation going, do you have any confidence? ”
"Needless to say, I have been training the gunners hard in the past few months, and finally trained a battalion, plus a lot of collection, a total of 100 tiger squat cannons. A partial van can be equipped with two tiger squatting cannons, and it is also in the wilderness, running like flying. Back then, Qi Jiguang's 3,000 cavalry, with 5o tiger squatting guns, could beat the Mongols all over the ground looking for teeth, and our artillery was doubled, what else was there to be afraid of. ”
Gu Zhenhua smiled with satisfaction: "Great, artillery is the guts of the army!" Get ready immediately and rush to the enemy as quickly as possible. ”
The side van was loaded with tiger squat cannons, and the soldiers rode horses and galloped all night, and finally when the sky was slightly bright, Gu Zhenhua quietly came to Chenqiao Town with people.
"Grandpa Guo, looking at the artillery barracks, it's really a bit of Grandpa Qi's posture back then!"
"Dare to love!" Gao Hongtu said with a smile: "We not only have to catch up with Qi Jiguang, but also have to pass him!" ”
Gu Zhenhua grabbed Guo Yunlong and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong, is there any change in the army?" ”
"Returning to the country's grandfather, we have three waves of messengers, all of whom are reporting to the Qing soldiers, but we didn't do anything according to your wishes."
"Well, the artillery is coming, and it's time to close the net, you guys should do it now and control these people."
Gu Zhenhua said, and said to Gao Hongtu: "Battalion Commander Gao, you immediately survey the terrain and place artillery positions, we will give the Qing army a ruthless blow!" (To be continued......)
