Chapter 64: The White Bone Spirit (16)

"In the hands of the Han people, we have only one way to die. Do you say it's okay if it's okay? ”

"Now that the Han people have courts, it's not the time for the Mongols."

"I don't believe it!"

……

The nearly hour-long argument was finally put to an end by such a simple and clear statement. Ma Qingchang only felt that his mouth was dry and exhausted. At this time, he didn't want to say anything, and he also understood that he probably didn't have any hope of convincing Bai Qingquan, the main battle faction kid in front of him.

The reason is simple. What Ma Qingchang said, Bai Qingquan, this kid doesn't believe it.

Ma Qingchang took a sip of the water cup and looked up at the other elders in the village. The elders had different expressions, and they looked as if the words were on their lips, but none of them spoke. Seeing Ma Qingchang's eyes like asking for help, they simply turned their faces away. Regardless of whether they support Bai Qingquan or not, at least no one supports Ma Qingchang now.

Seeing this situation, Ma Qingchang only felt disheartened. He hopes to resolve the crisis, but there is only one way to resolve the crisis, and that is to give an explanation to the Great Song Dynasty. The people in Zhuangzi also want to resolve this crisis, and they think that the standard for resolving it is that the previous things just disappear silently, as if they had never happened.

With despair, Ma Qingchang spoke again, "If it is according to what you say, what do you think is better." ”

Thinking that Ma Qingchang was going to be soft, Bai Qingquan's tone was stunned with a sneer, "Father Ma, the grain in Zhuangzi has always been sold by you." You've made a lot of money over the years, and then you ask us what to do. We are all counting on you to get the government in order and not to come to Zhuangzi's side. ”

These words only poked at Ma Qingchang's vital point, making Ma Qingchang's already desperate mood feel like falling into the abyss. He has been in the officialdom for so long, and he knows the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty very well. Everything he had done before ensured that Zhuangzi did not pay taxes, and he also took good land and drove away the Han villages. If there was no Ma Qingchang, how could the government turn a blind eye to such a big move. Now Bai Qingquan's requirements have far exceeded Ma Qingchang's limit, do these people think that Ma Qingchang is the soil emperor of Luoyang?

Since he couldn't do it, Ma Qingchang simply didn't say a word. If everyone in Zhuangzi was like this, Ma Qingchang would probably only be able to return to Luoyang to avoid seeing the end of Zhuangzi's destruction with his own eyes.

Everyone thought that Ma Qingchang would say something, but seeing that Ma Qingchang remained silent, everyone thought that Ma Qingchang was going to say something earth-shattering, and they all waited. Silence, silence, silence, silence. There was silence in the Church of the True God auditorium.

Bai Qingquan finally couldn't help it, and asked again: "Daddy Ma, don't you say something." ”

Ma Qingchang shook his head slightly, he had nothing to say.

Seeing that he had overwhelmed Father Ma, who seemed to be unable to challenge him at all, Bai Qingquan had a smile on his face. It was a mixture of a smile of pride and not too confidence. After successfully challenging authority for the first time, Bai Qingquan said: "I wait for Zhuangzi to be ours. Where is the turn of the Shangguan Mansion to say anything. I've been to the city, and didn't the government say that they want the people to live a good life, and in that case, they shouldn't come to us. If they don't come, we will naturally live a good life. ”

Ma Qingchang smiled bitterly in his heart, but his face was unfazed. He didn't even know how to react to this, as if obeying the government's instructions was. The government wants to let the people live a good life, it is a good life under the governance of the government, and the government wants to be the master of the people. Now these people are plausible, but they want to be the lord of the government. This simple speculation has long been made clear at the government's study meeting, and these people are playing such a trick now, it is really a big knife in front of Guan Gong. At the study meeting, the government clearly issued an order that this kind of 'feudal force that draws the ground as a prison' must be ruthlessly and severely cracked down!

Seeing Ma Qingchang's appearance of listening, Bai Qingquan licked his lips with an excited expression. In the past, if he dared to speak like this, he would inevitably be reprimanded by the old guys, and he would not be given a chance to say so much. This time, I was able to openly finish my thoughts and let the old guys listen to them, which was a situation that I never dreamed of.

Just when he didn't know whether to talk about the government or the village next, someone among the younger generation asked, "Brother Bai, did the government really say that?" ”

Bai Qingquan reflexively puffed up his chest and replied loudly: "Of course, I was in the city, and I saw such a slogan written on the wall of the city. If they hadn't said it, who would have put up such a slogan. ”

The young generation who spoke continued to ask excitedly: "If this is the case, how can the tax collectors come to our Zhuangzi?" ”

Bai Qingquan couldn't answer at the time, and this question of attacking the shield of the son with the spear of the son made him fall into a little confusion. After thinking for a while, Bai Qingquan said: "The people who collect taxes in the government are all bad guys. Didn't they often go to the village to ask for money? But we are the return of the True God Sect, and we are known by the imperial court, and they will not come again after that. ”

Ma Qingchang didn't look too much, he thought he would be angry, but he found that his emotions were only funny. At that time, the Mongols ruled north of the Huai River, and they discriminated against the Han people. As long as they are Han Chinese, they have to bear all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and they also have to serve forced labor. Once, it was rumored that there were silver mines around Luoyang, and as a result, Luoyang officials forced all villages to send men to mine.

At present, the officials of the Great Song Dynasty and Zhao have issued many study documents, asking the local government not to force the people to participate in all kinds of actions based on false rumors for free, and the large-scale mobilization is limited to the construction of water conservancy and road construction. The Zhao family only ruled Luoyang for more than ten years, and in the earlier decades, the Mongols listened to the wind and rain, and officials at all levels intensified. The people had to bring their own rations to participate in all kinds of actions required by the government. A lot of families are just shattered.

The Great Yuan was divided into three classes, and the Mongols were the first class, and it was impossible for this to join. In order to avoid such a situation, Ma Qingchang's village spent money to mobilize the big leaders of the True God Cult, collectively joined the True God Sect, and passed the certification of the Mongolian court. Although the second-class Semu and Huihui were also slaves and subordinates of the first-class people, they were no longer third-class Han people. With the imperial court certification, the second-class return can avoid many harassments.

Even in the face of harassment, you can gather people to resist. In fact, the government does not lack the manpower of such a Zhuangzi, and if the second-class people are forced to pass the trial, they are also worried about what will go wrong. Zhuangzi relied on his identity and the means of struggle to ensure dozens of peace.

Now that the Great Yuan has become a thing of the past, the court that is now in power is the Great Song Dynasty. These young boys are still clinging to the old calendar. I really don't know what year it is. No, these people are just carving boats for swords!

"Brother Bai, what should we do next?" The younger generation of descendants who carved the boat for the sword did not understand the changes in the world, and they excitedly followed Bai Qingquan's train of thought.

Bai Qingquan actually doesn't know what to do next, but the person who was able to beat the tax bureau last time is also an experience. He was heartbroken, and said loudly: "I came back from Luoyang City, and there were not many soldiers in that city at all. The walls were also not repaired, and they were in tatters. If the people from the government come again, let's reason with them first. If the reason doesn't make sense, we will run them away, just like we will run away from the Han people around us. If those people are not obedient, we will pull up the men and horses and take Luoyang City! ”

"Alas......" Ma Qingchang sighed in a low voice. At the same time, close your eyes and rub your eyebrows with your hands. Bai Qingquan's description of the city wall of Luoyang City is true, and the Great Song Dynasty no longer relies on the city wall to defend it, so naturally he will not spend money to repair the broken city wall. Except for the fact that this description is correct, the other descriptions are outrageously wrong.

The officials at all levels of the Great Song Dynasty had to receive military training, and when it came to a crisis, they could immediately pull out a team. Not to mention institutions such as public security, procuratorates, courts, etc. With an order, a team of more than 1,000 people can be formed in a short time. As for the tax police force and the fire brigade, they are even more sturdy with hundreds of people. is such a Zhuangzi with hundreds of people, and he especially wants to capture Luoyang City.

sighed. There was only one thought left in Ma Qingchang's heart, he was going to leave Zhuangzi. Let the guys mess with themselves, all he has to do now is find a way to avoid this disaster.

Bai Qingquan's words were too outrageous, and the old guys who were silent before finally couldn't help but speak, "Bai Qingquan, what are you talking nonsense!" Let's just send the people from the official mansion, who let you fight and kill! ”

Bai Qingquan, who was read by the old man like this and felt that his words were too big, also hurriedly got off the donkey, "I'm just talking, and I don't really want to fight!" ”

The eldest village boss turned his head to Ma Qingchang and said, "Brother Ma, the government wants to attack us and rob us of food and money, of course we have to be on guard." ”

"Huh!" Ma Qingchang laughed dryly. In the past, it was possible for the Great Yuan government to go to the countryside to grab money, food, and girls, but the official army of the Great Song Dynasty was not so boring. Under strict discipline and system, if the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty committed the common robbery and rape of the Mongol army, they would be mercilessly punished by the army in accordance with military law. With such discipline, the officials and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty went to the countryside, and they probably only had their lives to harvest. Because the purpose of this army is to kill the enemy,

Thinking of this, Ma Qingchang responded listlessly: "Since everyone thinks so, I will only say it for the last time." Don't fight with the people of the government anymore, where is the government good to get along with, and now the first-class people of the Great Song Dynasty are already Han people. The Mongols have the old yellow calendar. ”

After saying these heart-wrenching words, Ma Qingchang stood up under the glances of contempt, suspicion, and uneasiness, and left the chapel directly. Since the old guys and the little ones don't listen to persuasion, let them face the army of the Great Song Dynasty by themselves. He Ma Qingchang had no reason to die with these people. Ma Qingchang's mind has already swirled many thoughts, and each thought is how to protect himself. The first step to self-preservation is to stay away from disasters and adapt to changes.

When Ma Qingchang set foot on the road back to Luoyang, it was already late. If it weren't for facing such a group of scum, he should have stayed in the village. But Ma Qingchang still chose to walk back to Luoyang at night. He thought sadly in his heart, and he didn't know when Hong Nanfeng would lead the tax police out.

Hong Nanfeng in Luoyang City was not as hot as Ma Qingchang thought, and without a telegram from above, Hong Nanfeng did not dare to move. After being urged again, Hong Nanfeng first inspected the tax police force before returning home. When I got home, I asked about my son's schooling.

The little beast was taught three times, and he looked wilted, which made Hong Nanfeng feel distressed. But Hong Nanfeng had received a serious education from the Great Song Society, and knew that he could not show compromise at this time. However, his own son still hurts himself, that is, he knows the truth of 'not being angry, not being angry, not being angry, not being angry', Hong Nanfeng still can't help but reason with his son who is in junior high school, "Chivalry violates the ban with martial arts, and Confucianism uses literature to mess with the law." I let you practice martial arts to protect yourself. It's not for you to get into trouble. ”

"Dad, I didn't cause trouble. They come around, what can I do? The son said aggrievedly.

Hong Nanfeng saw his son's coquettishness from that immature reaction, this trick is useful for his mother, but it is useless for Hong Nanfeng's father, who has been coquettish since he was a child. He immediately shouted, "Don't be complacent! Do you think I don't know if one hits three, and I'll be happy in hindsight? I've done something like this before! ”

The son's expression of pretending to be aggrieved immediately dissipated, and he asked excitedly, "Dad, you really did it!" ”

"I've done it before I know it's harmful." Hong Nanfeng sighed. He thought about it, and finally decided to use his past as an example to tell his son about the problem.

After thinking carefully about the experience first, Hong Nanfeng talked about his past in a negative tone. When he was younger, he was also physically strong and studied martial arts. is so young and vigorous, of course, brawls are indispensable. If you have tasted the joy of striking others by force, like a tiger that has tasted human blood, it is easy to fall into the wrong path of relying on force infinitely.

Come out and mix, sooner or later you have to pay it back. Hong Nanfeng is not as fierce and chivalrous as around. When the people of the Great Song Dynasty beat them and hit their heads and broke their blood, they regretted it too late. This is a course for the advanced class of the club. Hong Nanfeng felt that what the lecturer of the General Society said was very reasonable.
