After scaring away these dogs, Cheng Panhuicun continued to be busy with his own business, but along the way, some people kept looking at Cheng Pan with worried eyes, and some people who usually talked to Cheng Pan even asked Cheng Pan directly about the joint rent collection of the owners on the island. Cheng Pan felt that the people on the island were panicking. So under the leadership of Cheng Pan, the people's representative meeting of the whole island was held in the evening.
In the evening, a few bonfires were lit on the barn field, and important people from several villages on the island came early, and Cheng Pan began to speak under the gaze of everyone: "Everyone knows today that there are some indiscriminate people on the island, and they want to collect rent whimsically. Now I can sue everybody, it's impossible. Don't worry, I agreed with you early in the morning, you will give you 30% of the grain, you will move the rest home, and I will deal with the rest. ”
At this time, an old man below said, "Cheng Xiucai, everyone knows that you are a good person, everyone ate you before the summer harvest, and you didn't even ask for a white strip." And you also gave everyone so many iron tools, we all talk about your benefits. But there is the support of the official family on the other side, so don't you soften it first."
Cheng Pan said with a smile, "That's right, there is the support of the official family on the other side, and the county officials who came to collect the rent from the two counties this time are definitely mixed up." ”
Hearing this, everyone immediately buzzed. Cheng Pan said loudly: "Everyone, listen to me. The people below fell silent.
Cheng Pan continued, "However, we also have our own strength, and our village protection team can completely kill the people who came to grab food this time."
Suddenly, a sentence came out below: "Killing officials is to be exterminated by the imperial court."
Cheng Pan replied, "That's right, killing officials is to be exterminated, but what is killing officials?" Only by breaking through the county seat or killing the county order can it be called killing officials."
Then he asked: "Then will the county order invite the imperial army to come?"
Cheng Pan replied: "The imperial army is not so easy to invite, the first imperial army must go to the local area to loot, those who think of us as a big tenant should take the brunt, they will be extorted a large part of the family property, and even their own women will be defiled." Second, the imperial court will only send a large army if a local student loses the county seat, and the county order of this county must be responsible, and if it is not good, it will lose its head. We are just resisting rent and not tax, and we haven't moved the county seat, do you say that the county order will lose its black yarn hat because it wants a fortune? ”
After saying this, everyone's faces softened. An old man from a village said, "Then I'll be fine if I stay on the island."
Cheng Pan said: "It's okay, but these people dare to fight our doctrine, I want to take the village team to teach them a lesson."
The people below persuaded Cheng Pan not to make extraneous branches. Cheng Panyan said: "This trip must go, if you don't teach them a lesson, they will change the way to make trouble for us, our village protection team is very strong, we must let them know our strength, so that they dare not come to provoke us." Don't worry about the imperial court, in the eyes of the imperial court, our petty fights are like two villages fighting in groups."
In this way, the hearts of the people on the island were settled. Rhetoric of revenge began to appear.
In this way, in the summer grain planting, Cheng Pan took a hundred village guards to Deng6 and County to the land of Jiangbei.
At this time, a pot-bellied Mongolian in the county government was talking with the county lord.
"Smack" Bart slapped the table with his fat hand and said: "Mob, this is a group of mobs, they have killed Zack, Chen County has ordered such a group of thugs to appear in your jurisdiction, you should send troops to kill them all."
Chen Xianling pinched his beard and said, "What the general said is extremely true, this gang of fanatics occupies Xiaohuangzhou, and sooner or later something big will happen, it is better to send someone to exterminate it as soon as possible." But this is the dispatch."
"Three hundred new annexes under my command are sufficient," said Battle.
Chen Xianling said: "Slow, General Battle, I don't want the court to report if you do this."
Battle said: "Chen County ordered us to explain, how are these tens of thousands of acres of good land divided."
Chen County Decree said: "First take out 10% of the land, let the big families in the county pay more military funds to whom, and the rest will be distributed to you and the county's public account, just this amount."
Chen Xianling and Barter made a gesture. Barth gestured and said, "No, this number."
After a period of bargaining, the two divided the field and the spoils of Xiao Huangzhou. Then it was decided that Barth would send 300 troops, and the county government would send out officials to capture 5o people. Then a hundred people from each family gathered together.
Just when the two people in the county were discussing interests, what Cheng Pan led people to do was absolutely shocking.
Cheng Pan led his team to run rampant in Jiangbei, and when he met a village, he spent money to hire young adults, and asked who the biggest landlord in the local area was, and Cheng Pan set the definition of a landlord to a person who owned 3o acres of land. Then take a scoop of people to fight the local tyrants. Those landlords who owned a lot of land mostly owned high-rise mansions and had a certain amount of defense. Cheng Pan's hundred-man team had no artillery. Cheng Pan took such an offensive, first suppressing it with a musket (its practical suppression, a few bows and arrows could not threaten someone), and then Cheng Pan relied on his own system
Rush over and smash a hole in the wall with a hammer, then stuff a black powder bag into the hole and set it on fire. The wall exploded with a bang. At this time, the people inside were already full of meat and vegetables. Cheng Pan rushed with the village protection team, and all the bayonets were waiting for the resistance, and then called the villagers, held a complaining meeting, and pushed his own misfortune on the landlord. Then Cheng Pan put away the title deed, burned the IOU, and stipulated his own "constitution", that is, each village sent 5 people to Xiaohuangzhou to train as a village protection team, so the tenants will pay 30% of the rent every year, and take the rest home by themselves, and they will not need to give them the taxes handed over to the imperial court, and Cheng Pan will be responsible. In this carnival atmosphere, Cheng Pan swept seven landlords' mansions along the way, and the people behind Cheng Pan gathered to three thousand. As for the landlord who really committed a heinous crime, Cheng Pan was like cutting the grass and killing the landlord's cubs, but after thinking about it, he couldn't get over it with his conscience, and asked the newly recruited people to escort them all back to Xiaohuangzhou. It doesn't seem to be anything serious, so let's plant them first, and then escort them back to Xiaohuangzhou. Cheng Pan believes that regardless of whether the landlord is a good person or not, China's landlord system must definitely be eradicated. Under the current cultivation technology, a person cannot own more than 3o acres of land, this is an iron law. The tenant system must be swept to the pile of old papers.
On the tenth day of Cheng Pan's frantic sweep, the news of the arrival of the official army suddenly came, and the people around him fled ninety percent at once.
There are only some people left who are not afraid of death and are ready to watch the excitement.
Cheng Pan led his team to greet the officers and soldiers. On the way, 6 Hai quietly asked: "Does Mr. really want to fight with the official army?" ”
Cheng Pan glared at him and said, "You have violated discipline, after this battle, go back and run ten laps." ”
Cheng Pan saw the anxious look of the people around him and said, "This is the county order sent out of the army privately, in order to rob our food, the court doesn't know, kill them all, the county order has to help us hide it, otherwise the court will find the county order to settle accounts."
The faces of the people of the village protection team were much more relaxed, and they began to check their equipment and prepare for battle
