"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is leading his troops south, and if you don't do it, it's too late!" An agitated voice echoed through the empty crypt.

"Is the news conclusive?" Another asked.

"How is it not conclusive? I've seen it all! It's just a little far away, and I can't see my eyebrows clearly. ”

"I'm asking about the soldiers, which soldiers are you bringing? How many did you bring? Is there any artillery? All of this has been clarified? ”

"Where can you find so much! However, if someone sees the Flying Tiger Banner and the Tank Division, it should be the 1st Guards Division. ”

"This is trouble...... the calm voice just now was a little depressed: "They are very fierce in beating the king and the eastern captives, we can't even match the mallets in our hands, how can we fight them?" ”

"Why don't we go and sue us?" A timid voice interjected: "I heard that Li Chuang and the men and horses who sacrificed the thieves did not kill anyone who was willing to surrender." Besides, we haven't rebelled yet. ”

"Complaint? Even if the crown prince is wise, what about the dog officials around him? Can you meet the crown prince? Which of those dog officials doesn't have hundreds of slaves? Officials protect each other, who will administer justice to us? The anxious voice before became more and more agitated.

"You have a point in saying this, but it doesn't work to sue or rebel, so let's hide in this hole for the rest of our lives?" The timid voice gradually gained confidence, and said: "There are a lot of people looking for us outside, and if we are caught, we will die." ”

"Those doglegs! Sooner or later they were skinned and their flesh was eaten! The man snorted hatefully.

"Reverse or not?" The calm man before suddenly shouted: "Brothers, don't fight back!" ”

The cave amplified his voice countless times, asking over and over again, "Reverse or not!" Anti-no-no! Not the opposite! Anti! ……”

"It's death, it's not death, it's worse death! Big brother, let's do the opposite! ”

"Big brother, you can't do it. Once it's reversed, there's no turning back! Let's go and sue first! Those who kill people don't obey the laws of the imperial court, and they can't die well! ”

"Big brother!"

There was a sudden silence in the cave.

The man, who was regarded as the eldest brother by everyone, wanted to scan the brothers around him, but there was darkness in front of him, only a hazy figure. But his heart was very bright, there were thirty-six people here, all of whom were slaves of large families. On weekdays, they are beaten and scolded, and their children and grandchildren can only become untouchables, and they cannot take the imperial examination, let others beat and scold, and be cattle and horses.

"It's the other way around!" The man stood up and let out a roar of rage, but there was silence below, and even the man who had made the most screaming just now was frightened.

"The emperor's family has set Beijing again, and it has been closed, if it is not reversed now. Is it possible to be this slave for thousands of years! When there is still a wheel master in the world, do we want to be slaves and servants and rest with heaven and earth! The man raised his arms and shouted: "It's against the damn!" Brothers, we have asked for a deed of life, and we will never be slaves again! ”

"It's the other way around! It's the other way around! No more slaves! ”

……

In the nineteenth year of Chongzhen, Zhu Cihong drove to Fengyang, the central capital, and worshiped the imperial tomb accompanied by Yuan Jixian, the governor of Fengyang, and local officials. Buried here are the grandparents, Emperor Renzuchun, the empress, and the family of the Taizu brothers and sisters-in-law.

When he was first buried, only Taizu and his second brother were left in the family, and Taizu was only a teenager. I didn't have the ability to buy a coffin, so I could only wear old clothes and wrap a torn quilt for Kaoyan. Dig a three-foot shallow pit and bury it hastily. Later, Taizu led the troops, and then the mountain tomb was rebuilt. After seizing the world, and then repairing the capital, the most reluctant later created today's scale.

Zhu Cihong walked around the entire imperial mausoleum and carefully examined the restoration of the mausoleum. Yuan Jixian and Fu Shan are on the left, and Min Ziruo and Xiao Mo are on the right. Like a fray of geese.

Yuan Jixian had already repaired the imperial mausoleum once after he arrived, and this time he heard that the crown prince was coming, so he seized the time to check it twice, and there was no place for Zhu Cihong to blame.

After Zhu Cihong circled, he returned to the stele pavilion at the southern end of Shinto. Standing in front of the "Monument of the Mausoleum of the Ming Emperor" again, I read the inscription written by Emperor Taizu Gao again. Judging from the rhetoric, Taizu had already read some books at this time, and wrote in pun script throughout, with straightforward words, no embellishments, and no shying away from the poverty and embarrassment of his family back then.

"Emperor Taizu Gao didn't leave many words, and this one is the best." Zhu Cihong stretched out his hand to touch the edge of the stele and read: "'The inscriptions of the imperial mausoleum are all whitewashed by Confucian ministers'...... This is not in the text, but it affirms a truth: seek truth from facts. At the beginning of the country's erosion, it was all whitewashed. The more whitewashed, the bigger the problem. It's like a person who has scabies, and instead of seeking treatment, he applies grease and powder to avoid medical treatment, and the most bitter thing is only himself. ”

"Your Highness is very true. If the shepherds of the world can 'not hide their mistakes and not be self-conscious', what difficult things cannot be solved? Yuan Jixian answered.

After Zuo Liangyu's death, Yuan Jixian successfully lured Zuo Mengeng back to the right path - he wanted the imperial court to be sealed. Of course, the imperial court will not refuse to give it, but once Zuo Liangyu takes this seal, it is the conclusion that the coffin is closed, and the person who is born is the emperor, and the death is the dead person of the emperor. When his subordinate generals saw it, they naturally knew that Zuo Mengeng did not have the ability and courage to stand on behalf of his father, and he had already bowed his knees to the imperial court.

In this way, there was no possibility for the left army to attack from the east. Thinking that Ma Shixiu refused to use the boat to cross the river when Zuo Liangyu was alive, not to mention that Zuo Liangyu died, Zuo Mengeng asked the court for a seal and a shade.

From this point of view, Yuan Jixian really went into the tiger's den alone at that time, and he did a good job of drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle.

With this credit, Zhu Cihong also planned to use Yuan Jixian a lot, but he couldn't find a suitable location for the time being, so he placed it in Fengyang.

The two were talking, but Lu Suyao received an urgent report. She opened it and glanced at it, knowing that the matter was serious, and hurriedly sent it to Zhu Cihong.

Zhu Cihong took the report, read it with an expressionless face, and handed it to Yuan Jixian.

After Yuan Jixian saw it, his face was pale and bloodless, and he said bitterly: "Your Highness, this is ...... Is it sent back to the Beijing Ministry? ”

"Send the governor to Beijing, and the discussion will be dismissed. Since I'm here, let's settle it on the spot. Zhu Cihong didn't think it was a big deal, but he was displeased: "I think this matter is mostly 'the government forcing the people to rebel'!" This magistrate of Yixian County is a villain who can only 'whitewash', even if the matter is so big, it can't be covered up, and he is still whitewashing! ”

Fu Shan didn't know what was going on in Lu Dao, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of Xiao Mo's blazing eyes, looking eager to try, and knew that Lu Dao was not good at this matter. Hearing the crown prince say that "the officials forced the people to rebel" and "the magistrate of Yixian County", his heart trembled, and he said secretly: Don't change the people again!

Fu Shan unfortunately guessed that Zhu Cihong got the report of the slavery in Yi County, the capital of Huizhou.

As the saying goes, if there are more lice, it will not itch, and if there are more debts, there will be no worries, which is very to the psychology of the public. Because Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong made too much trouble, and there were internal prisoners in the east, attacking cities and plundering the people...... It makes people think that the world is the three major events of rebellion, sacrifice of thieves, and captivity.

Actually, it's not.

Ten years after Chongzhen, the south is also full of disasters. Jiangxi, Huguang, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Nanzhi, Fujian, which province does not have chaotic people and thieves? It's just that because the momentum is not large, and the scale of tens of millions of people is not worth mentioning compared with the hundreds of thousands of people who break in, sacrifice, and capture, they are ignored.

The slave mutiny that occurred in Yixian County this time only set off another big move after the defeat of the "Three Thieves", which could reach the heavens and reach Zhu Cihong.

In this circular, the magistrate of Yixian County only emphasized how these "rebellious servants" humiliated their masters, plundered their wealth, and demanded slave contracts.

"The landlord doesn't care about me......" Zhu Cihong pointed to the text on the stele: "It is precisely because there is no virtue that there is Taizu Gao Emperor Longqi Linhao." The local officials are incompetent, and the lord does not know good virtues, this is to force the Ming Dynasty to change the dynasty? Xiao Mo, send someone to Yixian...... Slow, what is the role of Wang Yi who fought the Battle of the Tang River now? ”

Xiao Mo didn't expect Zhu Cihong to remember a little Bai Zong, and he was surprised and hurriedly said: "Wang Yi is still in the Tank Division, and now he is the deputy general with the rank of captain." ”

"Who's always the tank commander?" Zhu Cihong asked, "Or Liu Laosi?" ”

"Exactly."

Zhu Cihong said with a smile: "I can't train a successor for so long, this is Liu Laosi's incompetence." This time, I appointed Wang Yi's generals and asked him to take the people of the headquarters to escort Feng Yuanhui to Yixian County to solve the slave mutiny. ”

Feng Yuanhui did not accompany him at the moment, but supervised the implementation of the "Clan Law (Draft)" in the back. After being sent by the crown prince, he hurried to Fengyang to join Wang Yi's department. He was still thinking on the way, this is really the first month near the water, if he stays in Beijing, such a great opportunity for meritorious service will be gone.

As a bootbreaker who has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, Feng Yuanhui has no worries about his rebellion. He had long heard that the people in Huizhou were fierce, and the people did not study, but mostly got rich in business. After becoming rich, it is natural to keep slaves and servants. And these people actually got rich overnight, without the background of the Shili family, raising slaves is like a monkey, and they don't treat these slaves as human beings at all.

If you really talk about the prevalence of slavery, Jiangnan and Zhejiang are the first. One has many meritorious families, two has many official eunuchs, and three have many rich families...... Why is there no slavery over there, but Huizhou slavery? Doesn't this just mean that Hui businessmen don't know how to behave!

Feng Yuanhui thought so in his heart, but he didn't hate those Hui merchants for abusing slaves and maids, he was just happy that he had such a chance to get ahead.

As early as the seventh year of Chongzhen, there was a slave rebellion in Tongcheng, under the banner of "law enforcement on behalf of the emperor", and was later suppressed by the local government.

More than ten years have passed, the survivors of the slavery are still in the prime of life, not yet old, heard that there was another slavery in Yixian, and sighed that their slavery status cannot be revoked, and there are more than 100,000 people in the world!

As the so-called call for a hundred responses, they once again called on the old ones, contacted the township party, cracked clothes as a banner, broken tips as a blade, and went to the master's house to ask for a deed, and those who did not give it were killed in public. If any of the slaves did not want to leave their master's house, the slaves also killed them and divided their bodies to vent their hatred.

This wind together and not only Tongcheng has changed, from Yixian to the east, disturbing the suffering slaves of Nanzhi and Zhejiang; To the west, there were a group of slaves from Hubei and Jiangxi who responded.

Chongzhen has been in the past twenty years, and he quietly descended in this chaotic commotion. (To be continued......)
