Chapter 074: Longpan Jingzhou (7)
Now that an agreement has been reached, Wang Zhenyu naturally does what he says. On April 25, Wang Zhenyu posted 22 notices at the garrison headquarters, clearly explaining the political reform proposition of the county people governing the county. When the news spread, the entire four counties of Jingzhou Prefecture were shocked, and even the head of Miao Zhai, who was located in the deep mountains, rode to the county seat to see the notice.
Then, on May 1, after several days of intense preparations, the Jingzhou County Assembly was opened, and Chen Hongji served as the first speaker. On the 3rd, the channel, on the 5th, on the 7th, Suining. On the 10th, new county governors were elected in each county, and a large number of former officials lost their public posts. For a time, Jingzhou Mansion was both ice and fire, and many people soared overnight, and they couldn't be excited; On the other hand, many people lost their power and fell from heaven to hell.
Great leaders have taught us that the dust does not run away without a broom. So an undercurrent is surging...... Wang Zhenyu's reform announcement immediately caused an unprecedented sensation in Jingzhou, and the head of the village, the clan shili and the merchants who benefited from the reform applauded one after another, and were full of expectations for the reform.
However, as with all reforms in history, some people are very satisfied, and some people are naturally very dissatisfied, because the essence of reform is the redistribution of benefits.
So who is most dissatisfied with Wang Zhenyu's reforms? It was none other than the former magnates and local tyrants of Jingzhou Mansion. As soon as this reform order was issued, the original four county magistrates were immediately replaced by the county magistrates elected by the parliament, and the officials who were originally in charge of money and food and punishment were also the merchant officials who were originally like fat in their eyes (originally merchants, but later elected by the parliament to follow the county magistrate to become the officials of the bureau chiefs and deputy directors). This is simply unreasonable, against God, these traitorous and unscrupulous people actually want to seize power from their own hands, which is contrary to the teachings of the saints. But when they try to bluff these businessmen again, I'm sorry, these profiteers are not afraid. They were followed by the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Brigade, supported by guns, and these upstarts were also tough. In desperation, these scholars who had been taught by the saints did not dare to play with these unreasonable soldiers, and honestly handed over the official seals and account books, packed up their burdens, and got out.
No one will willingly give up vested interests, except for a few honest people, most people choose to oppose this whimsical Commander Wang, no matter how many guns he has under his hands!
They chose to gather around Wang Dezhi, the still incumbent Zhizhou, and tried to plan how to get rid of Wang Zhenyu, who seemed to them to be a bit of a mischief and smelly.
Beat? When a local tyrant who is accustomed to solving problems by force proposes this solution, everyone looks at him like an idiot. What are you kidding, a brigade of the Ninth Brigade can defeat a division in Changsha. Now I rely on the family members in my hands who can only bluff the little people to fight, that is not what it is to drive sheep into the mouth of the tiger, purely looking for death.
This suggestion was automatically filtered out from the very beginning, and everyone was talking about their own ideas, which made Wang Dezhi's brain ache.
There were a bunch of ideas, but none of them worked.
Some people say that they sent people to the provincial capital to complain, just kidding, others don't know, but Wang Dezhi, who has dealings with the provincial capital, knows very well that the relationship between our Commander Wang and Tan Dudu is the most typical one that listens to the tone and does not listen to the announcement. It may even be more serious, because in fact, Tan Dudu, the nominal governor, has not even had the courage to give orders to Wang Zhenyu, the devil, and the thrilling night of military rebellion in Changsha City has set up a bloody image of Wang Zhenyu as a man-eating demon.
Some people say that they went to Wang Zhenyu to cry, and Wang Dezhi of Zhizhou held such a view. But then someone clearly told everyone, don't dream, you think it's the reform that Chen Hongji and others have drummed up? The gossip, from beginning to end, was tossed by this Commander Wang, who had not dried up in your eyes.
really underestimated Wang Zhenyu, I didn't expect him to be so politically minded and skilled, and he actually played the pulling faction so skillfully.
Wang Dezhi has also been in this Jingzhou Mansion for more than 30 years, and he has to tell everyone sadly that it is tantamount to a fool's dream to openly oppose our Commander Wang now. Listen to Wang Dezhi and Wang Zhizhou to give you an analysis: "Colleagues, some of you are Wang's old friends, and some are Wang's subordinates, and it is reasonable that Wang should try his best to take care of some things. But now it is different from the previous dynasty, many things have changed, and we people have lost the support of the past. Besides, it's ugly, Wang is actually the same as you, and if you don't know what, you have to hand over the official seal and go home to farm. This is the general trend of the world, and it is not something that can be reversed by our husbands, so Wang is here to advise you that this is not the same as in the past, and don't think about it anymore. Our Commander Wang is different from those unobtrusive Zhizhou in the past, he has strength in his hands, and he is not afraid of us playing overhead; And people also have political means, this political reform has pulled the entire merchant group over, in other words, people have already pumped our salary. There are no strong soldiers outside, no money inside, even if you are dissatisfied, what are you going to do to fight with our Commander Wang? So I zuihou advise you, you must have a correct understanding of the situation, losing your official position is a trivial matter, if you lose your life, it will not be cost-effective. ”
Wang Dezhi's meaning is very clear, this Commander Wang, we can't fight, everyone is okay, let's go home early, wash and sleep.
If everyone can accept Wang Dezhi's persuasion and swallow their anger, this turmoil caused by the political reform is estimated to end here. But there are people in this world who don't know whether they are alive or dead.
Huang Jianxiong, a native of Jiangdong, Jingzhou, was born in a poor family, and has been stubborn by nature since he was a child, does not like to study, steals chickens and dogs all day long, and does not do his job. As an adult, he is sociable and vicious, and he has been in the Jiangdong area for many years and has become a tyrant.
There is nothing surprising about the above resume, it is nothing more than that he is a scoundrel enough to be a hooligan and shameless enough, he can beat and eat his sister, and there is no shortage of such goods in any era and place. So this is not a human specialty, it can only be regarded as a pig's specialty, sorry, insulting the pig.
But as the saying goes, times make heroes. is also a hooligan, put it on the beach, then there is a possibility of becoming a tycoon. In the 80s, China was likely to be severely beaten, and those who were lucky enough to go to Xinjiang to eat sand, and those who were unlucky were directly a peanut, and this peanut had to be bought by the family.
Huang Jianxiong, who is wrongly called the yellow wolf, is such a bastard who has caught up with the good times, and the officials in the late Qing Dynasty were extremely corrupt, but no matter how shameless the government is, it will try not to pull a fig leaf for Zuihou. So a lot of shady things are handed over to hooligans like Huang Jianxiong to take care of.
Huang Jianxiong's ability to do bad things may be really talented, no one can't do a lack of morality, and this person is the most typical rotten cub in the local population. How rotten is it, in order to please Shangguan, even his own relatives were bullied.
After a long time, Huang Jianxiong, who was effective in handling affairs and good at drilling camps, actually changed his shotgun and became a head catcher, that is, today's public security chief. So the rotten boy also became an official, and the crow naturally became a phoenix. It can be seen that the Qing Dynasty is immortal, and the principles of heaven are intolerable.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, and the yellow wolf, which has been in the limelight for more than 20 years, suddenly met a wolf fighter...... Overnight, all the social status and political glory were all taken away by this garrison commander in his early twenties, and he actually turned back into a common man. Even if grandpa can bear this breath, grandma can't bear it.
In the end, he was born in the underworld, Huang Jianxiong believes in happiness and revenge, he doesn't believe that a man in his early forties can't fight a little hairy child in his twenties. So Wang Dezhi's words entered from his left ear and immediately came out of his right ear, Huang Jianxiong's mind is now full of the word revenge, and he can no longer tolerate other things.
However, anger is anger, and Huang Jianxiong still agrees with Wang Dezhi's analysis: that is, it may be possible to create a little chaos just by relying on those ruffian hooligans and rotten police officers in his hands, and to fight Wang Zhenyu, who has heavy troops, this is really not enough.
It doesn't matter, the underworld is the underworld, and when he looks at problems and thinks about problems, he can get rid of the shackles of those rules and regulations.
After more than 20 years in Jingzhou, I don't dare to say anything else, but I really know my friends in the four realms, three mountains and five mountains. From Quyang Town to the west, into the realm of Guizhou, that is the high mountains and mountains, and there are many bandit nests like hornet's nests. After all, there are too many mountains in Guizhou, and it is impossible to feed people by crops, so in order to survive, many residents in eastern Guizhou and western Hunan have started the business of banditry.
It is particularly worth mentioning here that there is a certain difference between the bandits in Xiangxi and southeast Guizhou and the horse thieves in the northwest and the beard in the northeast. Except for a few of the larger gangsters in Shili, many bandits are actually not much different from the current car bandits and road rages. During the day, they were honest farmers, planting the barren mountain fields with hoes in their hands, and paying the government's harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes; And at night, I'm sorry, and immediately the beautiful girl transformed, I opened this road, and I planted this tree......
However, this route has been a very important trade route for the past few hundred years, and tea, salt, tung oil, and pig sideburns have to pass through here.
It's also funny to say that after the Opium War, in order to compete with foreign opium for the market, to avoid the outflow of silver. The Qing government, which could not defeat the foreigners, chose to grow opium in Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou, and used local tobacco to resist foreign smoke. This was how shameless and irresponsible the Chinese government was at that time. It is difficult to understand that there are so many film and television dramas in later generations to beautify it and praise it, going back to 5,000 years, and there is no darker era than the Qing Dynasty.
The boom in the opium trade made this ancient tea horse road even more prosperous.
