Shizhu County.

The silver-haired Qin Liangyu received a holy decree from the Southern Ming court.

She didn't expect that Emperor Hongguang would still think of herself.

not only promoted his own official, but also promoted his nephew Qin Zuoming to the position of general.

"Auntie, is this holy decree worthless?"

Qin Yiming had disdain on his face, he didn't send a single soldier, he didn't give the withered army food and grass, where to raise soldiers and horses?

"Your Majesty boasts that Zuo Ming is the first loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, and this is enough."

Qin Liangyu put away the holy decree: "My Qin family serves the country, when do you need the court to pay?" ”

For these things, Qin Yiming stopped talking.

When Emperor Chongzhen was alive, he couldn't come up with money to reward his aunt, so he could only write four poems to his aunt to praise him.

Now Emperor Hongguang occupies the rich Jiangnan and allocated 30,000 taels of silver to Wang Yingxiong, who was ordered to Pingchuan.

The emperor had hundreds of thousands of troops around him, and he did not send a single soldier into Sichuan.

After hearing that the new emperor had ascended the throne, he became obsessed with women day and night, and handed over the affairs of the court to Ma Shiying.

The Qing army in the north and the Dashun army fought each other, and Emperor Hongguang watched from the wall, without any enterprising heart.

"Grandma, this matter in Sichuan has always to be solved by me."

Ma Wannian is not ambiguous, he has long been disappointed in the imperial court, especially the officials who used to govern Sichuan.

They would rather trust a general soldier with little skill than hand over the soldiers and horses to their grandmother.

The elite white pole soldiers of the Qin family have repeatedly fought for the country, and they have lost all their losses, and the recruits are still training, and they can hold Shizhu County, and they are afraid that they will have no vitality when they go out.

"Is there any news from Zuo Ming?" Regarding his grandson's words, Qin Liangyu agreed.

"I heard that he has controlled the entire Hongya County and is carrying out a call to fight local tyrants and divide the land.

It really frightened some of the gentry, but the soldiers under him were rapidly expanded. ”

Qin Yiming has sent people to keep an eye on Hongya County since his younger brother Qin Zuoming sent Zheng Lu to deliver the news.

"This move is consistent with the start of the Thirteen Yellow Shakers."

Qin Liangyu sighed, but her nephew was outside, and she didn't have much to do.

Qin Zuoming is in a big disaster and doesn't want to come back, so let him toss outside.

Moreover, Meizhou is connected to Yazhou, and it is normal to be affected.

Three years ago, it was initiated by the people of Yazhou to fight the yaya.

With the addition of the thirteen families of Shake Huang, the people spontaneously "beat the beetle" and expanded to "remove the five beetles".

One is called the yabeetle, which is called the state and county officials Xu Kuai soap;

The second is called the house beetle, which is said to be dedicated to the palace and the arbitrary township song;

The three are called the beetles, which are also called the strong people of the people;

Fourth, it is said that the eunuch beetle is also a righteous man of the gentleman's family;

Fifth, it is said that learning is stupid, and it is said that the happy events of the students are also harmful.

This kind of movement lasted until the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, and the wind of fighting the ya-poison (beetle) gradually became hot, and because of hunger, he turned to plunder the rich.

All those who accumulate a lot of local officials are harmed by it, such as Yang Tianguan in Qiongzhou, who destroyed his hall and plundered his property.

The wealth of the mountain is not waiting for the thief (referring to the Great Western Army entering Sichuan) and there is nothing!

At the beginning, the officials in charge of central Sichuan also comforted and dissuaded them, hoping that big things would be turned into small things and small things would be turned into nothing.

Unexpectedly, the people did not listen at all, and the chaos became bigger and bigger, so that it was out of control.

The gentry instead used force to mobilize troops and Tusi soldiers to carry out a bloody suppression of this spontaneous struggle of the common people.

Therefore the people are very thieves!

Qin Liangyu sat on the chair and picked up the documents sent by Qin Yiming, and she found that the difference between her nephew and the Shaking Thirteen families was:

The nephew did not divide the wealth of the landlord and gentry, but distributed the land of the landlord and gentry to the poor people, allowing them to cultivate it on their own and only pay taxes.

This point retained many people, and carried out campaigns such as fighting landlords, complaining about grievances, and setting up peasant associations to gather people's hearts.

This made her see a rising military leader, although her nephew was under the banner of Zhang Xianzhong, but what he did was fundamentally different from Zhang Xianzhong.

Especially Qin Liangyu recently heard that the Great Western Army went out to collect food.

Who has food?

Only the landlords' homes have grain, but some soldiers of the Great Western Army have a policy of asking for grain when they see people and killing pigs when they see them, which will affect the interests of many ordinary peasants.

Although Zhang Xianzhong established power in Sichuan, he did not implement a policy of taxing land or population.

The consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops and regimes at all levels is basically dependent on confiscation and rationing.

Therefore, Qin Liangyu thought that his nephew's approach would definitely be favored by Zhang Xianzhong's side.

"Although this approach can be stronger than a while, if Zhang Xianzhong follows suit, the Onishi regime will not be able to stand in Sichuan."

Qin Liangyu is well aware of this kind of rogue practice, and Zhang Xianzhong wants to maintain a stable regime for a long time.

Doing so will not only be detrimental to the recovery and development of production, but will inevitably lead to the contraction and stagnation of production in central Sichuan.

Many bureaucrats said that the local peasants in central Sichuan were reluctant to plant seedlings, and he attributed it to the laziness of the Sichuan people.

But Qin Liangyu knew in his heart that the people of central Sichuan had always been diligent, why did they suddenly become lazy at this time.

The real reason was that the Great Western Army was arbitrarily pumping grain and the local instability caused the peasants to have no intention of engaging in production.

Even if you are diligent in farming, working hard for a long time, this food can't reach your mouth, who wants to farm?

No one wants to make a wedding dress for someone else!

"What does grandma mean that my brother-in-law is secretly doing bad things to Zhang Xianzhong?" Ma Wannian said with some excitement.

"This is natural, Zuo Ming's kid almost killed the thief Shouzhang Xianzhong, how could he work for him honestly!"

Qin Yiming smiled: "From the time he beat me for peeing, I knew that Zuo Ming had bad water." ”

"Hahaha."

The hall was filled with a happy atmosphere, because Qin Zuo was the youngest next year, and his brothers really raised him as a son.

As the eldest of the Qin family, Qin Yiming, his sons are all older than Qin Zuoming.

"Report."

A soldier walked in from outside the hall: "Mrs. Qin, a messenger claiming to be Zeng Ying has arrived, saying that he has something to discuss." ”

"Zeng Ying's people?"

Qin Liangyu put away the letter in his hand and motioned to bring someone in.

Chen Shiqi, the former governor of Sichuan, did not listen to Qin Liangyu's advice, nor did he listen to Zeng Ying's advice.

Before Zhang Xianzhong searched for Qin Zuoming everywhere, Zeng Ying was the first person to order a search since he entered Sichuan.

But Zeng Ying was much luckier than Qin Zuoming, some monks admired him, not only helped him hide and avoid arrest, but also contributed money and efforts to fund him to raise tens of thousands of horses and horses, and gained a firm foothold in Shunqing.

Unlike Qin Zuoming, he almost starved to death on the way to escape, and then he was tied up the mountain by female bandits.

This treatment is simply a heaven and an earth.

Zeng Ying's envoy entered the inner hall and first greeted him.

He immediately told Qin Liangyu about Zeng Ying's attack on Chongqing Mansion in the spring of next year, hoping that Mrs. Qin would be able to fight him on both sides.
