The vast sea of the people's war is absolutely terrible, Hou Dagou and his righteous army proved this truth, and on this day, the people of Huaiji County once again proved this truth, but this time it is no longer the guard soldiers of the Ming army and the lord of the official yamen who play the opposite role, but the righteous army.

When the rebels began to ignore the bottom line of the people and looted the houses, they became the perpetrators. Whether it is the old foundation of the cattle or the rebels who came from the rivers and lakes who took refuge in Tuoba Zhenge, under the siege of nearly 10,000 people, no one can escape.

A few people who looked at the situation was not good, jumped off the city wall, and as a result, except for the two who fell to death directly, the other three or four let the students of the Thunder Academy who were riding horses directly beheaded to death with sabers, that's right, it was Li Yuncong and them, after the ten heavy horses directly crushed into the city, they were snipers and revolvers got up from between the decayed grass, ran back to the bridge with the war horses, and recognized the horses as rangers, their riding skills were not very good, but it was relative to the Tartars who lived on horseback at a few years.

Compared to the hinterland of the Central Plains, with nearly two years of riding training and the guidance of Mongolian riding instructors, they are much stronger than most of the guards soldiers. They drove their horses around the city walls of the county seat, and slowly hunted and killed the rebels who tried to escape with sabers and firearms, and they seemed to be at ease.

Slightly more decent were the scalpers and Zheng Ang, who, after being run over by the ten heavy horsemen, first fled to the southern wall, and then joined up with the other two rebels who had been left behind at the gates. At the end of the day, on the east side of the city gate, they were surrounded by angry people.

Perhaps they ventured out to break through the encirclement of the people; Maybe when they rush out of the city gate, they will be thrown a few grenades by Li Yuncong and then collapse; Maybe...... But scalpers didn't choose "maybe". He directly ordered: "Your mother, we just can't stand the bullying of the government, so we raised troops to fight the yamen, how can there be a reason to point a knife and a gun at the villagers?" Drop it, put it down! Under his order, the more than 200 rebels laid down their arms, and this move also made them not like the other rebels. Attacked by a furious people.

Ding Yi recovered the county seat in one day.

The more than 700 living rebels were tied up and thrown into the open county jail.

"Each Lifang pushes two people out and goes to the county government to discuss matters!" Follow the people behind Ding Yi. Many people were called out of Lu to deliver the message, some were assigned by Ding Yi, some volunteered, and they were asked to memorize a passage. "It's not the role of the former lieutenant or the like that that was elected. It's for everyone to speak, if it's a random election, then this person goes to the county government and doesn't talk to everyone, for example, if everyone pushes a show, then the discussion, this show talent says that Xiucai doesn't need to pay food to serve, and his share of the gang helps pay and help to serve, then he suffers a loss! ”

Then he received a voucher from Wen Fatzi. A two-finger-wide piece of white paper with the address of the messenger on it. There are also their places of origin, place of residence, names, appearance characteristics, etc., and the following is not the seal of the Governor of Guangxi's military affairs, but an idle seal: Rujin Book Collection.

That is, Ding Yi's book collection seal.

It was impossible for him to carry the official seal with him, it must have been something in the governor's line, so he could only use this idle seal as a letter. It's just that those people who fell into fanaticism and excitement didn't pay so much attention, not only in the county town, but also in the four towns and eight miles, such as Danjiaping, Tongyouping, etc., all sent people to deliver letters.

"You don't have to do anything, you should study, you should read, you should wash the horses, you should line up the sentry, and you should go out to exercise." Ding Yi instructed Wen Fatzi and Li Yuncong like this, and he himself taught someone to move an official hat chair and put it at the door of the county ya, and I didn't know where to find a small clay stove, made a small coffee table, and boiled tea at the gate of the county ya.

The students who were lined up as sentry stood at the gate of the county government behind Ding Yi and began to read.

Pedestrians pass by, and those who have the courage to greet Ding Yi can make Ding Yi raise his head and respond with a smile.

Although four or five hundred people were temporarily assigned to guard the city, led by Wen Fatzi, patrolling the four gates and the major streets of the county town to prevent lawbreakers from taking advantage of the chaos to cause trouble, these people made the people in the county quite nervous, and some people even began to plan to go to the countryside to live with distant relatives and friends for a while.

But when passing by the county office, the lazy Ding Yi, the clear sound of reading, and the faint fragrance of tea made the hearts of the people in the county gradually settle down. In the afternoon, the shop did not dare to open, and the owner of the rice shop told his men that if the governor sent someone to call the store to open, he would excuse himself by saying that the goods were not ready.

When passing by the yamen the next day, I watched Ding replace the official hat chair with a recliner made by a carpenter overnight, and the chair feet were connected with two curved wooden strips, so that the sound of reading was swaying, and several grocery shops opened tentatively in the afternoon of this day, and on the third day, the street stalls and merchants also began to go to the street, and the owner of the rice shop gritted his teeth and said to the man: "Put the door panel down, this business has to be done if you don't do it!" "Those who can open a rice shop in the county town are not wooden people, Ding Yi's style, the shopkeeper can understand - people disdain to deal with him, not even a bad person, don't open the door if you have the ability!

This Governor Ding, with an entourage, took the county town guarded by the 2,000 righteous army casually, and even the fierce firewood leader was also destroyed, if he really provoked him to worry about his own family, I am afraid that it will not be the matter of this rice shop, but to set himself up to harbor the thief or something, and the whole family does not know what to do - no, I am afraid that I don't have to do it myself, and now in this county, who doesn't think about Governor Ding's good? In the past few days, the people in front of the yamen have been sending vegetables, fruits, and food, and they are endless, and as long as he says a word, these people still haven't torn themselves alive?

On the fourth day, when the people elected by the townships came to the county seat, except for the destruction of some houses, the county seat could no longer see the traces of the change of the king's flag at the head of the city, as if the "Ming" character banner had been standing on the city gate all along. It's just that even the peasants selling vegetables at the gate of the city are saying that the governor of Nading is really a first-class loyal minister, and Bao Longtu is reincarnated.

"The county is composed of 31 people elected by Huaiji County, with a term of four years, and one person is elected by you to sacrifice wine......" This is what Wen Fatzi said to the representatives sent by the villages, "The county magistrate is elected by all the registered residents of Huaiji who have reached the age of 16 for a term of four years......"

In fact, even if the messenger sent by Ding Yi repeatedly repeated to the people in the countryside what Wen Fatzi taught them to memorize, the people who were elected to the county seat were still mostly Xiucai, Juren, and squires, and the real mud legs were less than ten of the thirty-one people.

The people in Shilin had heard of Ding Yi's reputation, and they thought that they should follow Ding Yi's proposition closely, but they only raised a question: "The county order has a ...... that is not appointed by the ministry" It's just that this stubble was in Liu Ji, Wan An, and Xu Hui at that time, and there was a solution.

Wen Fatzi told them without panic: "The one who gets the most votes will report to the governor and the governor will decide...... The county order was naturally appointed by the imperial court, but in the future, the county order arbitrarily adjudicated unjust cases and did not ask about political affairs. Soon after, the official documents of the imperial court will be sent down, and they will be displayed to you at that time. ”

Then the people in Shilin have no opinion at all, as for the merchants with the lowest status at this time, they are under the official authority of the fat man and dare not speak; However, the seven or eight peasants discussed it, but they opened their mouths and asked: "The villain just listened and said that even the tax can be set by himself, so if the villain does not have to pay the tax, can the court agree?" ”

"If you don't pay taxes, you don't have money to raise soldiers; If you don't pay taxes, you won't have money for water conservancy; If you don't pay taxes, you naturally won't have the money to build roads......" Wen Fatzi patiently recounted to these peasants, "Naturally, if you don't pay taxes, naturally the imperial court will not send county orders down, and if someone comes to fight, naturally no one will take care of it." If everyone is willing to do this, they will not be friends. How much tax do you have to pay every year, my nephew and young master have set a charter, and if you think you can't pay so much, you can make a statement to the governor in the Dao Hall......

These things are all done by Wen Fatzi, Ding Yi doesn't touch his hands at all, it's not that he is lazy, but that he is the governor of Guangxi, how can he be in charge of civil affairs in Huaiji County? Even the public trial meeting was presided over by Li Yuncong with those sergeants and students of Thunder Academy, and all the people who were angry in the rebel army were dragged out and killed.

As for Ding Yi, he basks in the sun at the gate of the county government during the day, writes and writes, and basically acts as a mascot.

Of course, regarding Huaiji's affairs such as the Daotang and the county magistrate, he vaguely reported to the imperial court, and only said briefly: The poor mountains and bad waters produce the people, and the people here are so bad, and it may be difficult for the local officials and the local governors to help them, let alone the liuguan...... Therefore, the ancient Mingtang talks about the Tao and governs by doing nothing......

Guangxi has been rotten for so many years, as long as it can be settled, even if the local officials and Tuzhizhou can make the people stable, the court will pinch its nose and admit it. As for taxes, the imperial court doesn't expect much of it, and it would be good not to let the imperial court pay for this purpose. So Ding Yi was not blamed too much for this setback. In any case, after the recruitment of recruits, the training for three months was not carried out, Ding Yi first recovered a county, and then announced that he would behead and then escort him to Beijing, Emperor Jing was still very happy, and Yu Qian also felt that his face was bright.

A few days later, from the Changsha Mansion came to announce the decree of the Qincha, naturally it is impossible to send an eunuch from the drama to do such things, but it is the waiter of the Ministry of Rites who came, but he taught the people of Huaiji to see a fresh scene, because the incense case will come out The first sentence of the Qincha is: "Feng Shengyu: Ding Yi has created many places for state affairs, and his waist and legs are very sick, so he should not kneel!" ”

This is about the secret moon period between Emperor Jing and Ding Yi. (To be continued......)
