Huang Zixing said: "Regardless of whether they are foxes and fake tigers, if they are allowed to do this, then this Danzhou will really change the sky." The old man heard that all the people who accepted the population of the Haihan organization would be forcibly added to the Haihan nationality by them, and from then on they became naturalized people. What kind of system is this to take away my people by such robber means!"

Zhang Qianzhi also responded with an indignant face: "Then why didn't the teacher report such a lawless behavior of the Haihan people to the government?"

"The official mansion?" Huang Zixing sneered and shook his head: "The official mansion in Danzhou has long been an ornament, and the newly sent civil and military officials from the imperial court don't even have a single subordinate, can they manage the rich and military Haihan people?"

Zhang Qianzhi said: "Having said that, this official is always an official of the Ming Dynasty, do they just watch the Haihan people behave recklessly in Danzhou, and they don't stand up and say a word?"

In addition to finding out the details of Huang Zixing's investigation of this case, Zhang Qianzhi's purpose in investigating this case is also one of the goals he needs to find out. Seeing that Huang Zixing took the initiative to mention the local government, Zhang Qianzhi immediately followed the rhythm to probe Huang Zixing's tone.

Huang Zixing really didn't pay attention to this detail, and immediately responded: "Although the new Lord Yan, Zhizhou, has the intention to kill the thief, he has no power to return to the sky, it is not easy for him to protect himself now, and it is difficult to do anything for the time being." If he is allowed to stand up against Hai Han's move, I am afraid that soon the imperial court will have to select an alternate official to take his place!"

Zhang Qianzhi said: "In this way, then you can only watch the Haihan people make trouble in Danzhou?"

Huang Zixing said: "That's not necessarily, if you have the heart, we still have a chance to turn around!"

Zhang Qianzhi said deeply: "Students are willing to hear about it. ”

Huang Zixing stared at Zhang Qianzhi and said: "Involving this matter may affect your net worth and life, you have to think clearly!"

Zhang Qianzhi said righteously: "Serving the country with your body is exactly what my generation of scholars should do, why should Qianzhi be afraid?"

"Okay! Well said!" Huang Zixing praised: "From the day you came to the door, the old man knew that he had not seen the wrong person! These days, you have been in the academy in the eyes, and the old man has also seen it, since you have the determination to participate in the overthrow of the tyranny of Haihan, then the old man will tell you about the current situation." ”

Zhang Qianzhi was in high spirits, knowing that his acting skills these days were not in vain, this Huang Zixing was really observing his words and deeds in secret. Zhang Qianzhi also knew that Huang Zixing must be secretly carrying out some anti-Haihan deeds, but he has not grasped the real evidence, and his identity is not good to show that he is too active, so he can only patiently wait for Huang Zixing to reveal his flaws, and now it seems that the lurking these days seems to have begun to bear fruit.

Huang Zixing said in a deep voice: "In fact, as early as two or three years ago, when the Haihan people first did their business in Danzhou, there were already many local people who were dissatisfied with their practices. The Haihan people went to Danzhou to sell salt, and the local salt works soon collapsed, selling coal to Danzhou, and the local coal mines were also closed. How many families have been ruined by their deeds, but no one has ever noticed. ”

Zhang Qianzhi did not respond, and he also knew a little about Haihan's business strategy in Qiongbei. The industrialized production model allowed Haihan to produce a large number of daily necessities such as salt at a very low production cost, and even in a less high-tech industry such as coal mining, Haihan was able to control the cost of refined coal from the sea under the locally produced lignite.

The large-scale suspension and bankruptcy of production units in the same industry in the region brought about by low-price dumping was originally one of Haihan's goals. On the one hand, this can strengthen the control of trade in the northern Qiongbei region, and on the other hand, it can also liberate a large number of laborers from the less efficient workplaces, and attract them to the production departments under the rule of Haihan to engage in more efficient production activities. In the period from 1628 to 1630 alone, more than 5,000 immigrants were imported from the Danzhou region to Sanya every year, greatly enriching the size of the working population in the area under its rule.

Most of the original salt farmers and miners in Danzhou have immigrated to Sanya or other areas arranged by the Ministry of Civil Affairs of Haihan in the past two or three years, and in terms of income and living conditions, they must have far exceeded the previous level. Huang Zixing said that there are people in Danzhou who have been harmed by Haihan's business strategy and "their families are ruined", but it is not for nothing that these low-level laborers rely entirely on their strength to eat.

There are indeed salt merchants and coal bosses who have gone bankrupt in the process, and the number is not too few. Among them, there are many people who are really bankrupt and their families are ruined, but these people are often because of their own deaths, not only do they not want to become Haihan's distribution line, but use various means to try to prevent Haihan's goods from blooming everywhere in Danzhou.

Of course, the means available to these people are also very limited, and they seem to be lonely in front of the powerful Haihan, and occasionally someone succeeds once or twice, such as letting people set fire to a batch of newly arrived Haihan goods, and the next night in the middle of the night their own home will be on fire, burning the family property to the ground. As for the people who wanted to use their brains to rob money on the road from Baimajing Wharf to Danzhou City, they basically died under the guns of the militia soldiers guarding the caravan.

There is no way to keep accurate statistics on how many people have developed a grudge against Haihan in this process, but the Ministry of Security is well aware that there will definitely be some undercurrents among the people, and the interests to be touched by the measures to change the dynasty will definitely make its owners make some acts of resistance.

It's just that Qiongbei is not as good as Qiongnan, and the foundation of Haihan's rule here is far less solid than that of Qiongnan, although the de facto occupation of Qiongbei has been implemented after the Liaoyuan operation, the means of control still rely on military control to a large extent, and the civil administration system has been relatively slow due to various reasons. It was not until the Ministry of Security was ready to investigate and handle the case on the grounds of demographic statistics that Danzhou began to have the opportunity to formally implement the civil administration system under the rule of Haihan.

Huang Zixing continued: "Qianzhi may not know that my Huang family has settled in Qiongzhou for nearly ten generations, and the family property that I have worked hard to accumulate was directly annexed by the Haihan people last year in the name of land clearing after the war. These fields, which have been cultivated by my Huang clan for hundreds of years, have become the property of the Haihan people overnight!"

Zhang Qianzhi pretended to be surprised and said: "There is such a thing? Could it be that there is some misunderstanding?"

Huang Zixing shook his head angrily and said: "Where did the misunderstanding come from! The Haihan people did it on purpose, and the old man inquired in many ways afterwards, and it was not only the Huang family that had this encounter, but also all the prefectures and counties in northern Qiongbei had similar situations. Most of the people who suffered from this catastrophe were the local gentry who had always been dissatisfied with the Haihan, and after the war, the government was on the verge of being paralyzed, and the local administration was all controlled by the Haihan, and there was no way to file a complaint. ”

Zhang Qianzhi muttered: "According to what Shizun said, since there are so many people in the people who are dissatisfied with Haihan, why don't these people unite and work together to fight Haihan?"

"It's so easy to talk about!" Speaking of this, the look on Huang Zixing's face also dimmed a little: "Haihan people have money and soldiers, and they are good at bribing all parties with money. Besides, even if they were able to gather a few hundred people, how could they fight against the Haihan militia that was loaded with guns and ammunition? Could it be that they used hunting bows and bamboo guns? The pirates who swept through Qiongbei at the beginning did not have the strength to fight in front of the Haihan militia, so how could the arming of this private organization bring big trouble to the Haihan people?"

Zhang Qianzhi said in his heart, you are not really stupid, at least this comparison of strength is quite clear. If these civil landlord armed forces really want to rub their heads out and face the militia groups, the military just can't ask for it. Dealing with these civilian armed forces with a well-armed regular army with little military training is no different from killing chickens – several farms have already received such treatment in the last year, and Huangjiazhuang, where the Huangzixing people live, is one of them.

After Huang Zixing vomited bitter water, his face perked up slightly, and then said: "However, the Haihan people are not invulnerable, they are overseas visitors after all, not my Ming people, and it is really difficult to convince the people if they want to rule this Qiongzhou Island." As long as there are people who raise their arms and shout, they will surely respond, and the overthrow of their tyranny is also a matter of time. ”

Zhang Qianzhi secretly heard it funny in his heart, he had been by He Xi and the others for so long, how the Haihan people expanded and consolidated their power, he could be regarded as knowing seven or eight points. The political situation on this Qiongzhou Island is still a little unstable in the prefectures and counties of Qiongbei, and you have to go to Qiongnan to try to say anything against Haihan, but I am afraid that the people will be twisted to the local yamen in an instant. In the bustling ports of Qiongnan, any opposition to the Haihan would be treated as an anomaly, and the local people had become accustomed to calling themselves no longer the Ming people, but the glorious Haihan naturalized people.

Of course, Zhang Qianzhi would not say anything, but said respectfully: "Master's words are reasonable, but the time and method of this raising of arms and chanting need to be carefully considered." Since the Haihan people have no bottom line in their actions, they are afraid that they will also be suppressed by force at that time. ”

"Of course, they are unpopular with the people, so they can only use this kind of subordinate means to suppress the people's feelings!" Huang Zixing said hatefully: "But according to the old man's observation, the command power of the Haihan people is mostly concentrated in the hands of a few people, and if something happens to these people, it will definitely cause internal chaos." If you want to overthrow its tyranny, you should start here!"

Zhang Qianzhi was slightly startled when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What does Shizun mean by assassinating the leader of the Haihan?"

Huang Zixing didn't respond immediately, just nodded slightly.

Zhang Qianzhi said in his heart that if this is true, then Huang Zixing's case will be big. When he followed He Xi in Guangzhou, he also encountered two local people who wanted to assassinate He Xi, but after being neutralized, they both attracted a strong counterattack from the field team under He Xi, and all the leaders died, without exception. He Xi also told him many times that anyone who wanted to assassinate the head of Haihan was a capital crime, and the Ministry of Security could directly execute the extermination order without a trial.

In other words, after Huang Zixing now expresses this state, Zhang Qianzhi doesn't even need any other empirical evidence, just his accusation is enough to make Huang Zixing guilty. However, Zhang Qianzhi could see that Huang Zixing must have some backhand, so he still waited patiently for Huang Zixing to show his tail little by little.

Huang Zixing was silent for a moment before he said: "Only by destroying his mind can he mess up his camp." As long as the Haihan Dynasty is in chaos, my Ming government can take the opportunity to stand up and raise its arms and shout, so that the people can return to the rule of the imperial court. ”

Only then did Zhang Qianzhi understand that Huang Zixing, the role of daring to shout, was intended to be left to the new Lord Zhizhou. This is also reasonable to think about, after all, only the officials appointed by the imperial court have authority, otherwise after you act, you want to be the leading brother of a broken academy mountain, who will be convinced?

At that moment, Zhang Qianzhi asked again: "Then Lord Yan has no power and no soldiers, even if he is willing to stand up and appeal, it may not be useful! Besides, the students heard that the Haihan people have soldiers and horses stationed in all prefectures and counties in northern Qiongbei, even if Danzhou does something here, if the Haihan people mobilize troops and horses from other places, Danzhou will have no power to resist!"

Huang Zixing said: "You don't have to worry about this, although Lord Yan doesn't have soldiers and horses in his hands, there are still a lot of guards and soldiers in the people, although these people lost their establishment in last year's banditry, but their hearts are still towards Daming." The old man has recently managed to contact a number of states and counties, and when the time comes, all the Haihan militias in Qiongbei will become headless flies, and they will naturally be able to protect themselves. ”

Zhang Qianzhi asked: "Master Yan is a civilian official, and he doesn't know how to command the soldiers and horses in various places at that time?" The students heard that the new Danzhou general is not from Qiongzhou, and even if he is in command, he doesn't know the local terrain at all, so how can he carry out follow-up battles with the Haihan people?"

Huang Zixing twisted his beard and said: "The old man has other plans for commanding soldiers and horses, so there is no need to worry about this." ”

Zhang Qianzhiqi said: "The student heard that the officials in Danzhou, as long as they are alive, have now taken refuge in Haihan, could it be that there are still adults in the imperial court who endure humiliation and burden?"

Huang Zixing sneered and said: "Those who betray the imperial court will receive their due retribution sooner or later! The old man did not expect them to stand up at the critical moment, and the person who commanded the soldiers and horses was actually someone else. ”

Zhang Qianzhi rolled his eyes and said, "Could it be that he is the commander of the old regiment training in the local area?"

Huang Zixing shook his head and said: "Several regiments in Qiongbei died last year, and they fell, how can there be anyone." You don't have to guess, the person the old man said is indeed an adult in the government, but he is not a local. And its reliable Cheng dù is far better than these people in the Danzhou government now!"
