Before Yan Mingjun came to Danzhou, he also had the idea of buying the hearts of the people in the cultural circle after he arrived in the local area, but the cruel facts had dispelled this unrealistic idea. The discipline of these people in the Danzhou cultural circle is no better than those businessmen who are full of copper smell, and these people are even more exported, one by one, which is much more fleshy than those uneducated businessmen. Although Yan Mingjun only saw some representatives of the local cultural circles, it was enough to see from them what the general direction of local public opinion was.

With such an experience and perception, Yan Mingjun no longer has much good impression of the local literati, let alone trust. I don't know what the position of this first-time Huang Zixing is, in case he is also complicit with the Haihan people, then Li Jin's remarks are undoubtedly very dangerous. When they turned around, they reported this to the Haihan people, but they were afraid that Li Jin would have to suffer some overt and secret losses.

Yan Mingjun took over the conversation quietly and said: "The Haihan people are busy dealing with local post-disaster affairs, and it is inevitable that there will be delays in the handover of official affairs, and General Li's words are a little excessive. The official thought that the Haihan people led the militia to repel the pirates, recaptured Danzhou, and led the local post-disaster reconstruction, which is a great credit that cannot be ignored. This official also intends to write to the imperial court and ask for credit for the leaders of the Haihan Dynasty. ”

Huang Zixing said: "Lord Yan really thinks so? Although the grass people failed to go to pick up the dust for the two adults yesterday, they also heard that Director Zhang of Haihan at that time made disrespectful remarks, which made Lord Yan very uncomfortable!"

Yan Mingjun smiled indifferently and said: "It's just a rumor in the market, don't take it seriously." ”

Huang Zixing nodded and said: "Then the grass people dare to ask again, the two adults think, is this Danzhou of my Ming Dynasty or the Danzhou of Haihan?

"Bold!" Yan Mingjun frowned, and reprimanded loudly: "Such disobedient remarks, how can you be a scholar who should say it?"

Huang Zixing stood up and said deeply: "It turns out that Lord Yan thinks that the Haihan people are doing the right thing, but the grass people are abrupt, so I will leave!"

Huang Zixing turned around and took two steps, and then heard Yan Mingjun stop him behind him: "Huangshan Chang stay!"

Huang Zixing stopped, turned his head and asked, "What else do you have to order?"

"In Huang Shanchang's remarks, it seems that there is a lot of dissatisfaction with Haihan, can you explain the reason for this official?" Yan Mingjun asked. This Huang Zixing's words are prickly, and it is obvious that he has feelings for Haihan, but Yan Mingjun doesn't know his roots, and he doesn't dare to express his opinions at will. Seeing that this person was leaving, Yan Mingjun couldn't help but stop him - if this person really had some resentment towards Hai Han, maybe he could use it.

"The Haihan people occupy my Ming land, destroy my Ming law and discipline, enslave my Ming people, and mess up my Ming business, aren't these things enough to make people dissatisfied with them?" Huang Zixing replied in a deep voice.

Yan Mingjun shook his head and said: "If it is only because of these reasons that I am dissatisfied, this official thinks that there are many people in Danzhou who probably have similar ideas. But after weighing the pros and cons, the vast majority of people still choose to cooperate with the Haihan people, if Huang Shanchang doesn't plan to follow the crowd, then there must be some special reasons, right?"

Although Yan Mingjun became interested in this Huang Zixing, he was not so easy to believe the other party, especially after listening to the talk of the locals in the teahouse this morning, he had a deeper understanding of the shape of Danzhou. The political, business, and cultural circles have been deeply controlled by the interests of the Haihan, and the middle and upper echelons of society are inextricably intertwined with the interests of the Haihan, making it unlikely that they will stand up and openly oppose the Haihan's rule in the local area, because the consequences of doing so will also hurt their own interests. And the sudden emergence of such an outlier as Huang Zixing in this environment is obviously not in line with the people's feelings in Danzhou. Yan Mingjun even had a little doubt that this Huang Zixing was a spy deliberately sent by the Haihan people to test his attitude.

Huang Zixing said: "Don't hide it from Lord Yan, the grass people do have some special reasons. But since Lord Yan's views on the Haihan people are different from those of the grass people, there is no need to waste the adult's time. ”

"Chief Huang sat down and said, this official is very interested in hearing your reason. Since Yan Mingjun had this heart, he decided to find out: "If you are reasonable, the official will have his own judgment." ”

Huang Zixing hesitated, but sat back in his seat: "Since the adults are sincere in retaining, then the grass people will tell the truth." The grass people are people from Fucheng, and they live in Huangjiazhuang, thirty miles west of Fucheng. Most of the residents of this village are members of my Huang clan, and in the past, my brother Huang Zixiong was in charge. Before the pirates attacked Danzhou last year, they frequently raided civilian ships in the Qiongzhou Strait, and there were also attacks and harassments ashore. In August, the pirates came ashore to attack Huangjiazhuang, and after breaking the village, they killed my brother and his two sons, and plundered the people in the village. Later, the pirates attacked Qiongzhou on a large scale, and Huangjiazhuang was sacked again, and nearly 1,000 people were not left in the end, and the situation was very tragic!"

Yan Mingjun responded: "It turns out that the head of Huangshan is the victim of the Huangjiazhuang case in the capital city of Qiongzhou last year, and the official has also seen this case in the newspaper. ”

Huang Zixing sneered: "It's a pity that the sailor didn't get the bandits, but he ended up with the annihilation of the whole army." ”

The Huangjiazhuang mentioned by Huang Zixing is one of the achievements achieved in September 1630, in August of the third year of Chongzhen, Wang Tom led the sailor troops disguised as pirates in the coastal areas of northern Qiong. As for why this Huangjiazhuang became the target of the militia group, the reason is that the owner of the village, Huang Zixiong, and his family took a relatively extreme resistance to the infiltration of the Haihan in northern Qiongbei, and were the main advocates of the anti-Haihan movement near Fucheng, and also lynched the naturalized people who went to the local activities, which greatly affected the layout of the Haihan in Fucheng.

At that time, it was not Wang Tom's sailors who went ashore to operate, but two companies of Annan special operations troops borrowed from Qian Tiandun. These people almost bloodlessly controlled the defenseless Huangjiazhuang, and caught Huang Zixiong's father and son as the culprits. This family of three was taken as a symbol of killing chickens and monkeys, and directly carried out a public beheading execution on Zhuangzi. And the one who cut off the heads of these three people at that time was the naturalized civilian officer Takahashi Minami who led the team.

After this incident reached Fucheng, it was directly reported that the magistrates and commanders in Fucheng faced great pressure from public opinion, and had to send troops of the Qiongzhou Navy Division to suppress the bandits. Of course, the later situation was just as planned by the Haihan military, and the Haihan fleet completely annihilated the only remaining maritime armed forces of the Ming Dynasty on Qiongzhou Island in the waters of the Beibu Gulf, paving the way for the navy to completely blockade the Qiongzhou Strait from the sea.

Of course, Huang Zixing's statement is a little exaggerated, after the militia army disguised as pirates occupied Huangjiazhuang, in addition to executing the three Huang family father and son, they did not carry out large-scale killing, but only took away all the family members of the Huang family father and son, so as not to leave unnecessary troubles. However, because Huang Zixing opened a academy in Danzhou, he did not live in Huangjiazhuang, but he escaped.

At that time, in order to ask for war, the Qiongzhou Mansion naturally made a written report to the Guangdong government on the original matter, and there was also a relevant record in the official newspaper at that time, as soon as Huang Zixing said this, Yan Mingjun remembered that he had indeed seen the news about this matter about four months ago.

Although Huang Zixing's evaluation of the Qiongzhou Sailor is a little inferior, Yan Mingjun is not good at reprimanding him in this kind of detail when his family is in great trouble, so he can only cough dryly and bypass: "The family of Huangshan Chang has suffered misfortune, and the official is also very sympathetic. But fortunately, the Haihan militia later regained the lost territory, and presumably in the process, they have also avenged Brother Ling and his family. ”

Huang Zixing shook his head with a gloomy face and said, "If it is really so simple, why would the grass people have a grudge against Haihan?"

"Oh, could it be that there is something else going on here?" Yan Mingjun immediately grasped the point when he heard this. Obviously, Huang Zixing does not appreciate the matter of the Haihan militia recovering Huangjiazhuang, and listening to his tone and even this resentment is not small, this is a bit intriguing.

Huang Zixing snorted coldly and said: "My lord doesn't know, although Huangjiazhuang was looted twice by pirates, what was looted was floating wealth after all, and my Huang family's more than 7,000 acres of land in the local area could not be robbed. Unexpectedly, as soon as the Haihan people came, they actually claimed that all the land deeds destroyed by pirates during the war were not recognized, and all the land that could not be documented was confiscated by them!"

"Confiscation? Whose duke is this?" Li Jin listened attentively beside him, and couldn't help but interject and ask.

"The city of Qiongzhou has not been breached by pirates, and the official government in the city naturally has these land deed documents on file, and this confiscation will certainly not be confiscated to Qiongzhou Mansion. Huang Zixing gritted his teeth and said: "Those Haihan people used tricks, and they even took advantage of the time to take over the city and tampered with all the land deeds related to my Huangjiazhuang. As soon as the two of them touched, the thousands of acres of land in my Huangjiazhuang would all become the Haihan family!"

"There is such a thing!" Yan Mingjun couldn't help but slap on the coffee table: "These Haihan people are really lawless and bold!"

"My Huang clan naturally refused to suffer this dumb loss, so I went to Fucheng to complain, but I didn't expect that after going to Yamen, I was framed by the Haihan people for colluding with pirates to make trouble, and all the people who went to complain were put in prison!" Huang Zixing said as he burst into tears: "The grass people originally planned to go to Zhaoqing to complain to the governor, but the Hai Han people sealed the passage of the Qiongzhou Strait, and all the people who went to the mainland had to be approved by their management committee before they could make the trip. ”

When the Annan militia disguised as a pirate swept through Qiongbei, the military consciously arranged a large number of actions to eliminate hidden dangers in order to cooperate with the land policy that the Executive Committee would implement in Qiongbei in the future. In places like Huangjiazhuang, where the anti-Haihan attitude is clear, the Annan militia directly destroyed all the land deeds after taking control of the local area, and waited for the militia army to "recover the lost land" and then fight these landlords without proof.

Of course, the Executive Committee did not intend to drive all these people to a dead end, as long as they were willing to accept Haihan's new land policy, then Haihan would convert the land they had owned in the past into shares in collective farms on a pro rata basis, and still get some guaranteed income every year. Although it can't be rich and expensive, it is more than enough as a minimum living guarantee.

However, these people in Huangjiazhuang also broke the jar and broke it, and tried to take the official way to get these lands back. However, after Haihan took control of the city, these actions were in vain, and with a word from the management committee, all the relevant land files were turned out and the transfer procedures were handled. And the Huang family, who ran to the gate of the Fucheng Management Committee and cried, were naturally thrown into prison by casually finding an excuse.

In fact, this method does not have much technical content, and can even be described as simple and crude, but compared with the violent resistance that may be encountered in the process of promoting land policy, this practice of eliminating hidden dangers in advance is more appreciated by the Executive Committee.

Of course, it is not without Our Lady that some innocent people will be implicated in this process, but under the general goal of "unifying Qiongzhou Island by Haihan", these individual opposition voices are quickly drowned out by the majority voices eager to expand their sphere of influence. After all, more than three years have passed, and everyone can't wait to take Hainan Island, a land with a natural barrier, as their own. In the process, those "reactionary elements" who tried to use their mantis arms as a car and moved against the direction of historical development were naturally the targets of purging and defeating.

After all, when it is time to change the dynasty, who is willing to spend time convincing these landlords, mothers-in-law, and mothers-in-law to reason? If we take 10,000 steps back and say, even if we use soft methods, will these people obediently obey Haihan's new policy? As far as this emerging force, which is eager to expand its territory, these vested interests of the old era are only stumbling blocks on the way forward for the group to which they belong, and if they are not willing to move their positions and give way to them, then they can only be kicked out of the way.

Of course, these truths are completely incomprehensible as a party to the other side of the incident, for Huang Zixing's family, they were first looted by pirates, and then forcibly bought and sold by the Haihan people, which is simply two catastrophes that followed. The crimes committed by these two are not more serious to them, and even from a certain point of view, the Haihan people who took advantage of the fire to rob are more hateful.

Yan Mingjun said: "So you came to see this official today, do you want this official to preside over this justice for you?"
