Chapter 196: This Land Is Rotten

A long-planned rebellion was put down.

Zhu Chen's strategy was a strategy to attack the heart, which directly caused Miao Puliang to be completely defeated.

It is estimated that Miao Puliang didn't expect that he would be so defeated until he died.

The land of Guizhou was quiet, and Ying Tianfu's gossip also stopped.

This night, Zhu Mansion.

On a moonlit night, the old man and Zhu Chen sat on the roof, and the grandfather and grandson sat on the tiles, looking at the splendid mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty.

"Hehe, boy, are we big Ming?" The old man laughed.

Zhu Chen was also full of emotion for a while: "Throughout the past and present, the prosperity of Yingtianfu is not inferior to any dynasty, comparable to Chang'an." ”

Zhu Di nodded and smiled: "Thank you very much for this incident." ”

Zhu Chen smiled: "What a big deal, don't take it to heart, old man." ”

"The imperial court has allocated another 500 acres of land to you." The old man laughed.

Zhu Chen was stunned for a moment, and grinned: "Then I'm welcome." ”

The old man bowed his head and looked at the prosperity of Yingtianfu.

Even if it is a curfew, the prosperity of the capital is more beautiful, with lanterns, streets and alleys, and antique pavilions, showing a beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River.

Zhu Di looked at it, a little silent.

Zhu Chen said with concern: "What's wrong?" ”

Zhu Di sighed: "This great country, doesn't it make people nostalgic?" It's a pity that the hearts of the people are still towards Jianwen, and the current emperor is a rebel after all. ”

"The people don't recognize it, and this country can't sit steadily."

"Emperor Jianwen is not dead, if Jianwen really comes back one day, our emperor will be the target of everyone."

Zhu Chen said with a smile: "No, the three major battalions were personally formed by the emperor today, and they will resist." ”

Zhu Di smiled: "It's hard to say, now the emperor is thinking about doing a good job in the commercial tax reform as soon as possible, so that the people can live a good life, so that they can think more about the good of Yongle." ”

"It's not good to be scolded as a rebel and thief all the time."

Zhu Chen was silent: "Maybe." ”

Zhu Di said with a smile: "In this reform, if anyone dares to stumble on the emperor, then wait for the family to be raided and exterminated." ”

Zhu Chen saw the determination of Yongle reform from the old man!

"Old man, it's windy on this roof, let's go down." As Zhu Chen spoke, he put on a dress for the old man.

The old man shook his head: "No, look at it again, look at this Ming Dynasty again." ”

……

Hangzhou.

Good mountains raise good water, good water raises good people, the beauties of the land south of the Yangtze River have always been the most watery, gentle and soft, touching people's heartstrings.

The women here are all beautiful.

Because they were born in the south of the Yangtze River, they have not experienced too much severe cold and heat, wind and rain, so their skin can be broken by blowing, and the water is as tender as tofu.

That night, in a painting boat on the West Lake, the woman of Yingying Yanyan sat around several officials, accompanied by wine and poetry.

"The new prefect of Hangzhou, Wang Jing, is a waste, he doesn't make friends with the local gentry, and he dares to call him a brother and a brother with the prison of that country, it's just brainless."

"Who says it's not, this commercial tax reform is just right, and our business with the gentry is smoother."

Several officials were there laughing and talking.

One of them is the Tongzhi of Hangzhou Prefecture, which is equivalent to the deputy mayor of later generations.

"Lord Tongzhi, can we do our business without paying taxes?"

"After all, those prisoners were assigned by the center, and we ......"

Hang Zhou Tongzhi sneered: "It's better to pay the original taxes, we are officials, and we have worked hard for these untouchables, what's wrong with a little privilege?" ”

Tongzhi all spoke, and the other officials under his hand laughed even more.

But at this moment, a small boat quickly rowed to the side of the boat, and then quickly climbed up the rope.

Breaking into the cabin, the man panicked and couldn't find the north.

"Where's Lord Tongzhi? Tongzhi-sama. ”

Hang Zhou Tongzhi frowned slightly: "Who is making noise here, the official is here." ”

The man hurriedly ran to Hangzhou Tongzhi, knelt down suddenly, and cried loudly: "Lord Tongzhi, it's over, everything is over." ”

"A few days ago, the prefect Wang Jing was ready to collect taxes, because of your support, the three families of Zhang, Li and Liu were unwilling to pay more taxes, or the original tax money."

As he spoke, his legs shook terribly.

Hang Zhou Tongzhi nodded and said: "That's it, Wang Jing still dares to say half a word?" ”

"Wang Jing doesn't dare, but the prisoners of the Guozijian dare!"

"In just the past few days, those prisoners led by Xu Jinyi have already collected evidence that Zhang, Li and Liu paid the original tax and refused to pay the new tax, and now they have sent people to Yingtianfu overnight!"

The man fell to his knees and trembled.

As soon as the words fell, Hang Zhou Tongzhi's face changed drastically!

Once the refusal of these three families to pay the new tax is reported to the center, they will inevitably bite out of themselves, and then the same person will go to prison.

"This damn Xu Jinyi, how long has the person sent out have been on the run?" Hang Zhou Tongzhi shouted.

"An hour or so."

Inside the painting boat, the Yingge Yan Dance stopped, and the officials' faces changed drastically, once they were caught, they were all grasshoppers on a rope!

When they were in a panic, their eyes all fell on Hangzhou Tongzhi, waiting for Tongzhi to make up their minds.

Hang Zhou Tongzhi yelled: "Quick, take me to find Xu Jinyi, and catch me the person who escaped!" ”

"If you can't get it back, the officials of the entire Hangzhou will be buried with you......"

instructed several officials at the scene to lead a team to arrest people, while Hangzhou Tongzhi hurriedly got off the painting boat and rushed to the place where the group of prisoners lived.

……

Meanwhile.

Late at night, in a dense forest.

A young man with a burden on his back rode a big horse and galloped wildly in the night.

He ran sweaty, but he stubbornly protected the evidence in his arms, gritting his teeth: "This group of damn corrupt officials, you must report them, Hangzhou is already rotten!" ”

This young man is Xu Jinyi's scholar, and Xu Jinyi is Xu Lao's second grandson and Xu Miao's younger brother.

Xu Lao died for this government, but the officials in Hangzhou were rotten and could be killed!

He has escaped the siege and pursuit, and he is getting farther and farther away from Hangzhou.

Before the scholar could breathe a sigh of relief, a fire suddenly broke out behind him, and the scholar couldn't help but glance back.

I saw a thick black smoke and fire rising from the rear, as if to convey some message!

It's Fort Fire!

In order to prevent the tide of the Qiantang River, Hangzhou built twelve forts, as long as the fireworks are lit, you can know that the Qiantang River is high tide and needs to be rescued, similar to the beacon tower of border defense.

This is only possible at the twelfth level of alert!

Seeing the smoke billowing out, the scholar was furious and showed despair: "Despicable and shameless, in order to stop me, he even lit a fort fire!" ”

"Hangzhou, what a Hangzhou!"

The voice did not fall.

Behind him, suddenly an arrow pierced straight through.

The arrow, very thick, pierced the young man's body in an instant, knocking him off his horse and slamming him to the ground.

The sturdiness of this arrow was used to deal with the Japanese at sea, and they even sent out a garrison!

The young man left tears of remorse and muttered in a low voice: "Old Xu, I'm here to accompany you......"

Behind him, a large group of cavalry rushed in.

Here, there is the army of the yamen, the army of the Japanese soldiers, and the army of the Soldiers and Horses!

A total of hundreds of people, quickly arrived.

Led by Hangzhou Tongzhi, after seeing the shot, Hangzhou Tongzhi was full of anger, jumped off the horse, grabbed the saber on the horse, and quickly rushed over.

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

One by one, he stabbed into the young man's body, stabbed so bloody that he couldn't die anymore.

Hang Zhou Tongzhi seemed to be crazy, stabbed wildly with a knife, stabbed his face with blood, and yelled: "Why? Why are you forcing me to do it? ”

"You almost killed me, you almost killed my whole family!"

Almost mobilized the soldiers and horses of the entire Hangzhou Continent, and even set fire to the fort before he was captured, what a waste price!

Hang Zhou Tongzhi had never killed someone like this, and when the blood splattered, he was so frightened that he cried again......
