Cheng Hushen shuddered.

He couldn't help but ask, "How did you come so quickly and so suddenly?" ”

"It doesn't hurt to tell you."

As he spoke, Xia Yunyi replied: "Because this official has promised all my soldiers that after taking the county seat, the land of the gentry who will be tried and punished in the county will be distributed to them!" The dead will receive an extra share. ”

Then, Xia Yunyi ordered: "All these people are temporarily locked up in the county jail, waiting for trial!" In addition, go and inquire, except for the families whose heads of families are martyred or whose whole family flees and refuse to support the rebels, all the gentry who occupy an area of more than 100 acres have all their land taken away! The confiscated land and wasteland were divided among the peasants and soldiers, and those that could not be divided were distributed to the local people. Those who have been killed here, ask for their names and surnames, and then set them on fire! ”

"Yes!"

Xu Du agreed.

"You, you're rebelling! Why divide our fields! ”

A gentleman couldn't help but shout.

Xia Yunyi looked at it and said, "You ask the official why he has the firearm that can kill you with the official in his hand, but you don't have it." ”

The gentleman breathed heavily: "Then it can't be like a bandit and take away people's fields!" ”

"You're telling me the rules?"

Xia Yunyi asked.

The gentleman snorted.

Xia Yunyi continued: "You are not qualified to talk to this official about the rules!" Because you yourselves have broken the rules of your own rulers. This official is an official of the imperial court, according to the rules of this dynasty, you are a gentry with meritorious reputation, your family has been favored by the country, and has been supported by the imperial court for many years, and now that the rebels have captured here, you should be martyred, even if you are not martyred, you should refuse to be a puppet of the people! You answer, what have you done? ”

The gentleman glanced back at Xia Yunyi: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"What the official wants to say is this."

When Xia Yunyi said this, he changed his flintlock handcuff again, pointed at the top of the gentry's head, and shouted: "You yourself don't abide by the rules of the court first, why do you want this official to tell you the rules!" Sometimes, following the rules is a way to protect lambs like you, do you know? But you don't obey it yourself! So, what rules do you want this official to tell you?! ”

"Spare your life! Plentiful. ”

The gentleman had not finished the second sentence.

Bang!

Xia Yunyi pulled the fire gun.

The gentleman fell to the ground on the spot, bleeding profusely.

Xia Yunyi then looked at the other gentry: "Now you understand, let's be convinced." ”

Cheng Hushen sighed first: "Sure enough, if you become a prince, if you lose, you will be a thief!" It's just that I didn't expect that you would use such vicious methods, and actually use the land as bait to mobilize those untouchables against us, give them back guns, and turn them into obedient soldiers. ”

"Who made you ignore them?"

"Perhaps it is your own wisdom that the wiser gentry know that when the rebels come, the best way is to flee early, followed by martyrdom."

After Xia Yunyi said with a smile, he said, "Take it all with you, ready to liquidate!" ”

"Wait!"

At this time, a gentry shouted.

Xia Yunyi looked over: "What's the matter?" ”

The gentry replied: "Old man Min Wensheng, my brother Min Wenyuan is a jinshi in the forty-seventh year of Wanli, and he returned to his hometown last year to guard the system, and was martyred when the rebels came, so please keep the land of my clan and spare my life." ”

Xia Yunyi smiled and said, "Brother Ling has a field under his name?" ”

Min Wensheng replied: "Yes! ”

Xia Yunyi continued to ask, "Is there a descendant?" ”

"I have a daughter."

Min Wensheng replied.

"Tell you to order your niece!"

Xia Yunyi replied.

This Min Wensheng was silent.

Xia Yunyi asked coldly, "Why didn't you answer?" ”

As he spoke, Xia Yunyi picked up the handcuff.

Seeing this, Min Wensheng had to reply truthfully: "It's sold!" ”

"Hungry?"

Xia Yunyi asked.

Min Wensheng was silent.

Xia Yunyi asked again: "Where did it go?" ”

Min Wensheng said: "Just the Cheng family." ”

"Go get her out!"

Xia Yunyi commanded.

So, not long after, Min Wensheng led his niece out under the supervision of the official school under Xia Yunyi.

"Sell your own niece, or the orphan daughter of a martyr loyal minister of the imperial court!"

After Xia Yunyi saw this woman, she looked at Min Wensheng and said.

Min Wensheng didn't know how to answer.

Bang!

And Xia Yunyi directly fired another shot: "Except for Min Wenyuan and Min Gong's fields, all the land of the Min family is given to his orphan daughter, and the houses and fields of the other parties of the Min family are still all owned by the people!" ”

"Yes!"

Then, Xia Yunyi looked at Cheng Hushen again: "If you want to kill the people who support our restructuring, right, in this case, you yourself will taste the taste of being chopped first." ”

As he spoke, Xia Yunyi ordered: "Escort him down and send medical guards to come and dissect him!" ”

"Yes!"

Cheng Hushen pleaded painfully at this time: "Grace! Xia Zhongcheng, I promise that I will never dare again! Late life is also a thief for a while, woo! You give the late born a chance. ”

Xia Yunyi ignored Cheng Hushen, but asked the official school under his command to directly continue to execute the Cheng family.

Therefore, in addition to the old and young women's rolls, the adult clansmen, as well as domestic slaves and farm farmers who served them, that is, many wealthy tenants, were all executed and all their family property was confiscated.

The rest of the Wen gentry were also liquidated.

The staff officials and left officials brought by Xia Yunyi organized and mobilized the people, so that these people could be tried by these gentry, that is, liquidated.

The rescued Huaiqing prefect Tu Yixuan and the county magistrate who acted as the county governor were mainly responsible for presiding over the matter.

Naturally, the public trial does not have to be done by Xia Yunyi himself.

Before presiding over the liquidation of the gentry, Tu Yiyi specially thanked Xia Yunyi to express his life-saving grace, and said with emotion: "Uncle Guo is not wrong, the rentier who opposes the reform of the law cannot be underestimated, and now if Zhongcheng hadn't arrived in time, the lower officials would have been killed after being tortured by the rebels in various ways." ”

"It's all for the sake of Daming Sheji and the people of the world! Jingming doesn't have to be like this. I believe that Jing Ming was not intimidated by these people, and these selfish people will be intimidated by our-for-tat, and even regret their betrayal! ”

Xia Yunyi held Tu Yiyi's hands and said with a smile.

Tu Yixuan nodded solemnly: "Xiaguan will naturally not be intimidated!" Zhongcheng is right, we have to return the tooth for a tooth, and use stricter laws and disciplines to let those who are selfish and self-interested learn to abide by the laws of the dynasty and the country! ”

"This group of gentry defected to the rebels, committed a human life, removed the official and fame, and all of them were beheaded and killed! The land was confiscated and divided among the soldiers and the people. ”

"This group of gentry forcibly seized the people's land, bullied and dominated the market, removed the official fame, and all of them were exiled to the newly established Taiwan County! The land was confiscated and divided among the soldiers' surnames. ”

"A group of gentry did not have evil deeds, but they did not be loyal to the court and did not show loyalty, and the official and lord's fame were removed, and only enough land was left, and the rest of the land was distributed to the people as punishment!"

After all the gentry in Wen County were liquidated, Xia Yunyi personally ordered the execution of a group of gentry, exiled a group of gentry, and also disposed of a group of gentry who only knew how to obey.

After the liquidation, Xia Yunyi and other officials who supported the reform of the law began to divide the fields in Wen County.

The peasants and soldiers who did not get the land first got the land, and secondly, the local poor people in Wen County also got a lot of land, and they were all happy.

"I Have a Catalogue of Ghosts and Gods"

In the end, the people who did not get a share because of the lack of land began to enthusiastically sign up for the peasant soldiers because they wanted to get a share of the land, so they began to enthusiastically sign up for the peasant soldiers in order to get a share of the land in the subsequent process of recovering the lost land.

The current situation of Daming is that there are many people and few places, and Henan, as a province of Daming, is naturally no exception.

Xia Yunyi took advantage of this situation to carry out violent troops in the process of suppressing the rebellion, first using the land as bait to organize the landless people into an army, but in the name of peasant soldiers, in fact, a regular army that received strict Soviet-style rapid training.

As a result, the number of peasants and soldiers under his command as governor increased.

To solve the problem of the future survival and livelihood of these peasants and soldiers, it will undoubtedly be a new challenge, either continue to liquidate the gentry and divide the gentry's fields, or simply expand into a regular army and open up the border for the imperial court.

In either case, when Zhang Gui instructed Xia Yunyi to suppress the rebellion by uniting the common people to ensure the successful implementation of the new policy, it was destined to bring greater changes to the Ming Dynasty and even the whole world.

No further ado.

Xia Yunyi mobilized the people here, divided the land, and killed the gentry, which really frightened the gentry of other prefectures and counties who had defected to the rebels.

Jiyuan County.

Geng Jingyu, a gentry who had been a political envoy for a term, was furious when he learned that Xia Yunyi and others had done this, and he threw the teacup angrily, and said angrily: "He Xia Yi, these people in Xilin Academy are basically rebelling!" They are the rebels! ”

Geng Jingyu's son Geng Zhirong also said: "What my father said is, I have to say, these Xilin Party methods are really vicious!" He gave the common people a land! This is what we didn't expect, what should we do now, should we simply take refuge in His Royal Highness King Lu! ”

"No!"

Geng Jingyu said: "Send the dead soldier to kill Xu Zhixian appointed by King Lu!" Let them quietly release Du Zhixian, who was appointed by the imperial court! ”
