Chapter 331: Homecoming

In order to prevent Huang Xin and others from being tortured, Zhang Xianzong in the cabinet, despite the angry reprimands of Xie Jin and others, quickly drafted a holy decree, not only the three of them were dismissed, but Xie Yuan was also demoted to the commander of the affairs, and Zheng Ci was of course wanted......

Of course, it doesn't mean much to him.

Because at this time, he had already gone south through the Yanguan and entered the area controlled by the Jianwen court, and was welcomed by the gentry of Guilin like a hero, and even the Jianwen Emperor had already issued an order to make him the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the wanted was just to add another halo to his heroic image.

And this holy decree in the capital can almost be said to have caused public indignation in the two major systems of civil and military affairs.

It doesn't make sense at all!

No matter what the truth of the matter is, the first Huguang criminal prosecution is in accordance with the rules, since Yang Feng keeps saying that he respects the law, then Huang Xin is not wrong in the law, this is Yang Feng's own slap in the face. Second, no matter what the truth is, Xue Peng and Li Zhigang have never been involved, at least Yang Feng can't catch them, it can be said that they have nothing to do with it, let alone the unlucky Xie Yuan. Their purpose is indeed impure, but this kind of thing can only be understood in their hearts, and there is no basis for wanting to put it on the surface, and they have no handle to grasp it in terms of law or court rules.

What did they do wrong?

They're right!

What's wrong with impartially enforcing the law?

So the only thing that can explain Yang Feng's obviously shameless behavior is that he has become angry, and he just wants to vent his anger and make an example of the local officials, because Li Xin and the others are instructed by him.

He let these minions go to various places to incite the people to poison the gentry.

He is the real mastermind behind the scenes.

This is really unbearable, if those civil and military officials before could still have a trace of fantasy thoughts about him, now with this holy decree is completely gone.

There are no more illusions about him.

Don't expect him to leave a way for the landlords to live, let alone expect him to gradually understand that the gentry are the allies of the ruler because of interests, mud legs are not, he will not cooperate with the gentry like those holy lords and gentlemen, and he will not even win over the gentry like those foreign conquerors, even if Zhu Yuanzhang does not do it, he is a person who has come to destroy the land gentry class.

And then......

Xichuan.

Among the thousands of onlookers, Liu Wen, who has been regarded by the people as the master of the blue sky, pushed his tape measure and walked among the farmland......

In fact, it is a bamboo ruler.

It is Cheng Dawei's measuring scooter.

Connected with copper wires with bamboo strips, a roll wrapped around the trolley, although Yang Feng can't make a tape measure steel tape measure, but this thing is still very easy, and it can be made everywhere, as long as the ruler used is the same length. At this moment, as Liu Zhizhou, who had been promoted to Zhizhou, pushed the measuring scooter forward, he quickly measured the length and width of the land, and the officials who followed next to him took notes, and then calculated the area of the plot.

This is Liu Zhizhou's re-clearing of the confiscated land in the counties under the jurisdiction of Dengzhou.

This is already Guantian.

As a governor, of course, he must know an accurate number.

Of course, he's just a demonstration.

Next, each county will have a special Qingzhang team responsible for this work, and he is followed by the Qingzhang team members selected by Xichuan County.

Hired.

In fact, it is preparing to reform the government service system by the way.

After all, in the past, the officials were on duty for the common people, and this system was obviously inappropriate, so he now hires these Qingzhang team members, and then conducts training in person, so these people will listen to him in the future. As long as a new batch of Jinshi comes out next year, the imperial court will definitely appoint a new Xichuan magistrate, and they can directly come over and establish a new yamen based on these Qingzhang members. Liu Wen, the first batch of expatriates to various places, is to lay a good foundation for the future students, so that they can quickly complete local control after they take over, Yang Feng wants to establish demonstration areas in each province first.

In order to carry out such a major reform, we must first arouse the enthusiasm of the people in various localities.

In addition, it is necessary for the new students to practice.

Therefore, in each province, a similar demonstration area has been set up, so that the common people can see the changes brought about by this reform, and also let those new scholars train and grow up in the process, and finally the order of the Gongtian Law will be directly pushed out by them.

Now it's the layout.

But all this is not so simple, the local gentry and officials will all obstruct the destruction, and even destroy it by force, even now Liu Wen is only taking the first step, although he is the governor of the state, but all the counties are all knowledgeable counties, and not all landlords are involved in the Zhongyi Society case. What he could do was to use the gentry involved in the Zhongyi Society to quickly establish his own foundation in the counties, and at this time, the people around him who regarded him as the Great Master of the Blue Sky were his foundation to support his next actions, but of course all this was based on the suffering of others.

"Loyalty?

What loyalty, what king?

Has a baby girl been a ruler since ancient times?

The baby girl is the king, the queen mother hangs the curtain to listen to the government, the princess is in power, the outline is often reversed, the yin and yang are transposed, the universe is reversed, the demons are rampant, and the country is dead.

There are virtuous people in the world, what is the virtue of Zhu? ”

Li Yi, a local talent, was in the dense forest, looking at this scene on the plain outside with anger.

The reason for his anger is simple.

This measure is actually his land.

His father participated in the Zhongyi Society, and was angry to death when Liu Wen took Diao Min to raid his home.

He escaped and hid in Nanyang, his family also has a lot of industry in Nanyang, and has been inciting the local gentry to resist in Nanyang, but the latter belongs to those who don't cry when they don't see the coffin, and they always shirk it with various excuses, and they are loyal, they can't rebel, and they are the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, no matter what, Liu Wen is an official of the imperial court, in short, he just doesn't want to. There are even many blame for the Zhongyi Society's own trouble, which is caused by the Zhongyi Society's ignorance of proportions and excessive behavior, but after the news of Huang Xin and others being dismissed spread, the Nanyang gentry immediately woke up.

It's that I'm too naïve!

So the Nanyang gentry immediately changed from refusing to help him to fully supporting.

"Boss, it's up to you, as long as you kill this dog official, all the land you used to have before will be returned to you."

He turned his head to look at a guy beside him who was clearly a man of lust.

"Don't worry, Yang Feng is our mortal enemy, and we must kill his men."

Harding, who was also a local, said.

He was originally a hundred households in Nanyang Wei, but when the King of Jin assassinated Yang Feng, his in-laws participated, and Zhu Yuanzhang in order to cover up that it was the King of Jin who assassinated Yang Feng, and he made a big deal about the color eyes involved, and his family was also in Zhulian, so he had to flee to the mountains with his family, and finally became a horse bandit. However, his family and the Nanyang gentry have dealings after all, in fact, even if they become horse bandits, they mainly do dirty work for the Nanyang gentry, and this time they were hired by Li Yi to attack and kill Liu Wen.

"Since this demon came to the Ming Dynasty, we Han gentry, all of us have been persecuted by him, and now it is time to work together."

Li Yi said.

Harding looked at Liu Wen's figure and smiled coldly, and then pulled out the knife.

"Up, kill that green-robed one!"

In their words, he said to the nearly two hundred horse bandits under his command.

Then he urged his horse forward.

Behind him, the Lust-eyed bandits rushed their horses, armed with all kinds of weapons, and swarmed out of the woods, and galloped wildly across the open plains, making all sorts of strange screams, and rushing forward like a herd of wild beasts......

"Kill, kill that dog official, kill all those Diao people!"

Behind him, Li Yi roared excitedly.

Liu Wen had already discovered the horse bandits, and then the people were in chaos.

However......

"Bang!"

Gunshots rang out.

"What's the panic, it's just a horse bandit, the military camp is not far away, it's just a moment!

The ruler has given you land, and it is up to you whether you can keep your land or not. ”

Liu Wen, who was holding a short gun, shouted.

The people immediately calmed down.

"Follow me!"

After Liu Wen finished speaking, he immediately ran to a rocky hill next to him, because it was close to the mountains, it was originally a rock extending from the mountain, and the stones picked out from the surrounding farmland were all piled up here, so a rocky hill was formed. He ran directly to the highest place, and at the same time, those brocade guards also guarded him, all of them drew their short guns, and the Qingzhang team members who followed him and the people who were assigned to this farmland all hurriedly followed him, and formed a circle around him with their backs around the rocky hill, watching the horse bandits roaring over.

"The inner one takes off the cotton clothes and protects the outer ring."

Liu Wen shouted.

As he spoke, he was the first to take off his cotton robe.

By this time it was already winter.

Those brocade guards and the people inside also took off their cotton robes and handed them outside, as for themselves, they were actually carrying shields, these brocade guards were used to being born and dying with Liu Wen, and they had this kind of consciousness for a long time, in fact, they still had cotton armor inside. The people outside immediately covered themselves with multiple layers of cotton clothing, and as long as there were two or three layers of cotton clothing, they could basically block the arrows of the horse bandits, while the young men who carried hoes and other farm tools stretched out their farm tools in the middle like spearmen.

Then pick up the stone directly under your feet.

A dense defensive formation was formed at once.

"We've all been in battle!"

Liu Wen said unexpectedly.

"Lord Qingtian, this place in Nanyang is indispensable for wars between the north and the south, and those who can't fight can't survive."

A middle-aged man said with a smile on his face.

"Who's that man!"

Liu Wen put the telescope on his eyes and shouted at Li Yi in front of the dense forest.

"Young Master of the Li family, our Qingzhang is his family's land, the last time he raided the house, the angry Master Li was his father, he is here for revenge, folks, it was the horse bandit brought by Li Yi, he came back to avenge his father, he came back to rob our land."

The latter immediately shouted.

"Fight with them!"

"This dog thing dares to come back!"

……

The surrounding people were furious.

At this time, the horse bandits led by Harding had already begun to shoot arrows in this direction.

The young man in front immediately raised his cotton robe, and the back was as close as possible.

"Put!"

Liu Wen shouted.

Then he opened fire with a short gun in his hand.

This thing has about the same effective aiming range as a cavalry bow.

It's just that the armor-piercing ability is poor.

But the bandits had no armor.

With the sound of gunfire in his hand, a horse bandit with a bow and arrow fell off his horse, but the arrows they shot also fell among the people, but the latter's multi-layer cotton clothes in his hands provided good cover, and most of the arrows fell on the cotton robes, this kind of defense similar to the city barrier easily blocked the arrows, in fact, the real city defenders could even block the stones thrown by the trebuchet in this way, even if some arrows fell on the crowd, because they were all crowded together, the wounded could not leave, and still maintained a dense formation.

At the same time, the brocade guards also opened fire with short guns in their hands.

Horse bandits fell one after another.

After a round of fighting, these brocade guards then raised their second short guns, and threw them to the Qingzhang team members, who were responsible for loading, and those young men also began to pick up the stones under their feet and throw them at the horse bandits. The purpose of the latter is to kill Liu Wen, and this is not far from Nanyang Wei's military tun, so they must fight quickly, this kind of shooting is useless, bows and arrows can't shoot muskets after all. Immediately afterwards, Harding himself led the team and began to storm the people, trying to drive them away, but before the horse bandits with spears could rush to them, they were confronted with countless stones flying towards them.

These people are all under their feet.

Throwing stones is a basic skill for sheep herders, and it is very accurate at close range.

Several of the horse bandits at the front were smashed to the ground covered in blood, and one of them screamed and fell.

"Don't panic, keep fighting them, they want to take away the land that was given to you, you have to fight with them, I can give you the field, but if you don't want to be robbed again, you have to protect your field."

Liu Wen shouted.

At the same time he took out a rocket, and immediately lit the fuse.

The rocket quickly roared into the sky.

"Hold on, Nanyangwei's reinforcements will arrive soon."

He shouted.

Rockets explode in the sky.

At this time, the first batch of horse bandits who rushed to the rocky hill had already fought with the people, although their spears had a huge advantage, but the latter was fighting to the death and did not retreat, and they were helpless, and even the young men who were stabbed by the spears directly grabbed the spears. And the young man who was crowded in the middle with a hoe or something like that immediately stepped forward, and slashed over to the horse bandits, although the latter was riding a horse, but after being blocked, there was really no good way to do this kind of planing hoe.

Constantly the horse bandits were slashed on their bodies, hooked and torn off.

Then he was stoned to death by a young man holding a stone.

The two sides even fought a bloody battle on the battlefield.

And the young man who threw the stone behind him was more accurate at such a distance, and there were almost no misses.

And then the brocade guard bullet did not miss the shot.

After all, it was only twenty or thirty meters, and this distance caught up with the lobster soldiers lining up to shoot them.

"Don't be afraid, each of the dead in the war will receive a pension of 200 yuan, and the injured will be exempted from ten years of tax, this official is a protégé of the first emperor, a student taught by the ruling princess and Ambassador Yang, I will ask the ruling princess for a reward."

Liu Wen shouted.

He then shot down a bandit.

At the same time, an arrow fell on him, but it was blocked by the soft armor inside.

He also had raw silk soft armor on his body, and even wore forged steel carburizing inserts that resembled bulletproof inserts.

The arrow was directly ricocheted off.

However, he looked in the direction of Juntun with some surprise.

Because the rockets that responded there have not appeared to this day.
