Therefore, Zhu Changshu and his ministers finally agreed on a plan to solve the internal financial problem, and this plan finally put the financial burden on the people.

But also because the burden was placed on the people.

Therefore, Zhu Changshu's ministers don't feel the pressure, and they still have a good impression of him, King Lu, thinking that Zhu Changshu is really kind and loves the people like a son.

After all, even if you levy a tax on the people, you have to be cautious, can you be considered loving the people like children?

"Your Highness! Tu Yixuan, the prefect of Huaiqing appointed by the Emperor Apocalypse, has been captured by Cheng Xiaolian, a gentry of Wen County, and his clansmen, and now he has come to report to His Highness, how to deal with it, please show His Highness! ”

At this time, Lu Shaoguan, the eunuch beside Zhu Changshu, came to say goodbye.

After hearing this, Zhu Changshu said: "Very good! This Tu Yixuan, who has heard of Lone Ye, is also a traitor against the party who forgets his ancestors and supports the change of the law! Zhu Qing thinks, what should be done with this person? ”

"Your Highness said yes!"

"This Tu Yixuan, like villains like Chen Zizhuang and Xia Yunyi, is a traitor!"

"He even went to Xilin Academy to study as a dignified scholar in order to cling to the momentum of his relative Zhang Gui, saying that it was the place where there was real learning, and then when he came back, he played to support the policy of paving the land into the mu."

Then, he was reinstated as the prefect of Huaiqing. Now that it has fallen into the hands of His Royal Highness, it can be regarded as the will of heaven, and the will of heaven wants His Majesty to do harm to the people! ”

Wang Yongguang spoke at this time.

As he spoke, he said: "In the opinion of the ministers, for such betrayal villains, they should no longer be regarded as scholars, and they should sleep on their skin and eat their flesh, so that those rebels around the faint king are frightened!" ”

As soon as these reformers were mentioned, Wang Yongguang and these conservative ministers hated them so much.

At this time, Mao Yujian also said: "That's right! When digging out their hearts, this can make such traitors and villains reincarnate, even if they have no heart, it is better than having a black heart like now! ”

Zhu Changshu: "It's up to you Aiqing to do it!" When Xia Yunyi is captured in the future, Lone will personally eat his flesh and drink his blood! Let him dare to propose such a bad government as letting the vassal king pay grain and be an errand! Pass on the life of the lonely king, but whoever can catch Xia Yunyi will be rewarded with 50,000 taels of silver! ”

……

"King Lu's order has come down, and he wants us to escort the dog official Tu Yiyi into Beijing! King Lu and the others want to skin him and eat his flesh! ”

The county seat of Wen County, Huaiqing Prefecture.

Cheng Jinyuan, the son of Cheng Hushen, is reporting the royal order of Zhu Changshu, the king of Lu, to Cheng Hushen.

Cheng Hushen couldn't help but clap his eyes after hearing this, and said excitedly: "It's exactly what I want!" That's how such a wicked official should be! ”

"Immediately, arrange for someone to put a hundred catties of flail on him, and escort him to Wei Hui to see King Lu!"

"The rest of the captured county officials and lords from Xilin Academy were directly killed in front of all the township warriors in the county! Since they want to change the system, they will change them first! ”

"Yes!"

Cheng Jinyuan agreed and said: "In addition, His Royal Highness King Lu also issued a royal order, saying that whoever captures the traitorous minister Xia Yunyi, the governor of Henan, will be rewarded with 50,000 taels of silver!" ”

After hearing this, Cheng Hu said: "Even if you don't reward it, the old man will try his best to catch this traitor who is extremely criminal!" ”

"Fifty thousand taels! This King Lu really looks up to Xia. ”

Outside Wenxian County.

Xia Yunyi looked at the secret report that he had received from Xichang Xizuo about King Lu offering a reward of 50,000 taels of silver to arrest him, he just smiled, and then looked at the peasants and soldiers all over the mountains behind him and ordered:

"Listen to this official's orders! As soon as the flare gun goes off, all siege! ”

"After rushing in, according to the plan, the people who should be rescued should be saved, the city gate should be occupied, and the people who should be arrested should be arrested, and the county government will report to the official after the completion of the task of each battalion garrison, and then start to prepare for the liquidation and field division work."

"Yes!"

After hearing this, Lu Cheng, who joined the army beside Xia Yunyi, said to the people behind him: "Pass on Zhongcheng's words." ”

After a long time, when the day was just dawn and the morning light was faint, Xia Yunyi released the signal flare.

Suddenly, the peasants and soldiers all over the mountains rushed towards the county seat of Wenxian County.

"If you want to divide the land, you can rush with me!"

At the forefront were the garrisons of the peasant battalions.

These garrisons were all veterans who had been discharged from the military academy due to injuries and illnesses, and were now assigned to the local area as peasant instructors, and in wartime as garrison officers, and with the peasant soldiers responsible for maintaining local order.

But now because of King Lu's rebellion and the capture of the city, Xia Yunyi organized these peasant soldiers to regain the lost territory with his standard battalion.

However, in order to train the peasant soldiers, Xia Yunyi basically did not use his own standard battalion regular soldiers when attacking the city, but first let the peasant soldiers attack the city, and at the same time to minimize the number of casualties in his standard battalion.

When the battalion garrison was attacking the city, they would shout that they wanted to divide the land and follow me.

Because they have found out from practical experience that these peasant soldiers, who are organized by displaced people, care most about getting a share of the land.

Splitting the land is the easiest way to boost morale, and it is better than handing out silver.

According to Zhang Gui's instructions, Xia Yunyi would liquidate the gentry and heroes in the region when he recovered the lost territory occupied by the rebels.

Basically, most of the gentry and heroes will have their land confiscated, and these gentry and their domestic slaves will also be liquidated and shot.

As a result, a lot of land will be vacated, which will be distributed directly to the displaced people who join the peasant army.

According to Zhang Gui and Xia Yunyi, since the gentry would rather support the rebels than the New Deal reforms, they could only organize the people to implement the New Deal by carrying out revolution, that is, organizing the people to directly use violence.

The firearms used by Xia Yunyi's peasants and soldiers were not bad, all of them were turtledoves, thunderbolts, cloth armor, vehicle-mounted cannons and other ordnance provided by the Xishan Industrial Division, which were well-made and very powerful.

There is an entire industrial system behind their violent actions.

On the contrary, the reactionary gentry who chose to support the rebels, although they had their own village warriors, did not have an industrial system behind them, and their ordnance and gunpowder were all purchased.

The same was true of the rebels, most of whom were village warriors organized by the local gentry themselves.

It was only after accepting the appointment of Zhu Changshu, the king of Lu, that he turned into a Jingnan army that ate the king's grain.

At this time, these armies guarding in Wenxian County were very ineffective when they encountered peasant soldiers.

When Cheng Hushen's nephew, Cheng Jincai, who was the rebel Qianhu official of Wen County, heard the shouting of killing, and when he rushed to the city wall, he saw that there were already a large number of peasant soldiers, climbing up through the ladder, holding a brand-new Yanling knife, and were frantically poking the buttocks of the villagers under his command, and his villagers were running towards themselves with inferior waist knives with many gaps.

"The officers and soldiers are here?"

Seeing this, Cheng Youcai hurriedly turned around and ran, stretched his feet a few times in a panic, and then successfully stepped on the stirrup with his feet, and then with the help of a small group beside him, he got on the horse and ran towards the Cheng family's compound.

At this time, Cheng Hushen was escorting Tu Yixuan and two scholars from Xilin Academy who were appointed as the county officials and chief officials of Wenxian County out of the stationing cage prisoner car, and when he saw Cheng Youcai running over with crooked armor, he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Cheng Jincai hurriedly said: "Second brother, the official army has come in!" Let's take my uncle with you. ”

"What?!"

Cheng Hushen was shocked when he heard this.

By this time, the peasants had already rushed over.

Seeing this, Cheng Hushen was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground, and shouted tremblingly: "Welcome to Master Wang!" ”

Cheng Jincai also knelt down.

It didn't take long for the peasants and soldiers to control the entire Wen County, and Xia Yunyi also came here with the standard camp after dawn, and saw that Tu Yiyi had been beaten to the ground, and the two people from Xilin Academy were also covered in bruises, so he lowered his face and said: "Liquidate immediately!" ”
