175. If you don't obey, you will be beaten
The reason why the border army is stationed in Wugang Village is because in the west of Wugang Village is the largest gathering place of seedlings, the Wuling Mountains.
The Miao people here account for almost half of the entire Daxia Miao people, and a third of the Miao people gather in Cangwu Mountain in the south of Wugang, which is also a very famous mountain, famous for Emperor Shun's death here.
There are three battalions of the border army stationed in Wugang Village, which belong to the Guizhou Anyi Army, but they are independent on the march, so they are directly named Wugang Army in the court.
The leading general is Tian Jiakang, the general of the four-rank Xuanwei, and he knows from the name of the official that what the court actually hopes for most is to deter and appease, and he doesn't want to really fight with the Miao people.
Most of the Miao people lived in the mountains, and there were conflicts with the Han Chinese, but the two sides also lived in harmony for thousands of years.
After all, the Miao people are not like the Hu people of Huathorn, Char, and Chijin, who only want to go to the Central Plains to burn, kill, and rob, they are more like the common people in the Central Plains, cultivating fields and growing grain, and are self-sufficient.
Unless they are all killed and not a single one is left, they will multiply here and live for generations.
What's more, there are not only Miao people in the mountains, but also Dong people and Yao people, so you can't kill them all.
The court also understands that if these people are driven away, will the people of the Han people be willing to enter the mountains, the answer is no!
There are a lot of treasures in those mountains, but the Han people are not used to it, the environment is harsh, and the key is that there is no land to plant.
For thousands of years, the Han people were most afraid of not having land to grow food, and the Han people were used to farming, and food was their life.
What they want most is five acres of land, three rooms, a vegetable field, and a hot kang for their wives and children, which is the greatest happiness.
Leaving these people is beneficial to the entire Han people in the Central Plains, but for them, it is very annoying to disobey Wang Hua, not to mention the barbaric nature, and they still cling to the rules of their ancestors, and they make a mess at every turn, which is very annoying.
General Tian thought that he had explained in detail enough, but the commander of the Silver Eagle Guard was still asking questions, and he was about to die of depression!
But the people are also very good, the same grade, but they respect themselves very much, not at all like those villains from the court, with a fake face.
These people hold shelves all day long, for fear that others will not know that he is from the capital, and they also look down on themselves as soldiers, and sometimes they don't even speak well, shouting evil words, saying yin and yang words.
This young man is not bad, although he is also young, but he has achieved the command of the Silver Eagle Guard of the fourth grade, but the young man is ambitious but unwilling, and he does not have the arrogance of those officials, and he is very peaceful when dealing with people.
Lu Yu has been visiting Wugang for many days, and he has no clue at all, even if he is a Han with strong martial arts, he does not dare to enter the Miao Village easily, he can at most secretly understand the situation with some Miao people in the surrounding Miao Village.
However, in the past two days, he seems to feel a little strange, some familiar Miao people will whisper together, some are not familiar with the Han people, and the eyes of the Han people even reveal defense and anger.
What kind of person is Lu Yu, he has traveled south and north for many years, fought in the sword mountain and gun forest, and he is very concerned about the eyes and expressions of many people, and he knows their psychological state very well.
He specially arranged a subordinate and asked him to quickly find someone to find out if something big had happened to the Miao people!
Here in Wugangzhai, the relationship between the garrison and the surrounding Han and Miao people is well maintained, and many people have become the eyes of Yinying.
Within two days, I really got a news that the elder of the Miao people in Qiyang Jipo Village was seriously ill and closed the village, which should be related to the Han Miao battle some time ago.
King Miao of Wanmiao Mountain in Jingzhou couldn't sit still, and he had already begun to send people to other Miao villages to check the situation.
This situation is not only worried by the Han people, in fact, the Miao King is even more worried, if more Miao villages begin to follow suit, it may cause the Miao people to actually oppose the Han people, and the court is the enemy, attracting a large army to encircle and suppress, and the suffering of the Miao people will come.
When Lu Yu heard this, he was also taken aback, Qi Yang! That's not Yuan Rui's territory, is it related to Yuan Rui?
But he had no way to go to Qiyang to learn the details, and this news also brought good news, and a key person that Lu Yu had been paying attention to began to move.
After a close investigation, this person is also the middleman who connects several elders of the Miao people, and it is also the most important starting point for the instability of the Miao people this time.
Lu Yu can only take care of the present, do the most important things first, of course, the first thing is to get the exact evidence, cooperate with the Wugang army to take precautions, and inform King Miao, as for the rest, it is not up to him.
A small incident has happened in the court recently, a very small thing!
An imperial historian of the Supervisory Yuan impeached the magistrate of Yushan County, Gusu Prefecture, for perverting the law for bribery, accepting a bribe of 1,000 taels of silver from a wealthy and unkind landowner in the county, and even supporting the landlord to collect 60 percent of the rent grain from tenant farmers.
The reason for this is that the two seasons of land production should be counted as land revenues, and the profits should go to the owners of the fields, and not to allow the cultivators to get more harvests.
Originally, this kind of thing couldn't get into the eyes of the court at all, the matter was too small, even if it was true, at most one imperial historian would check it, so why bother to bring it to the court.
However, within a few days, there was a man in the household department who wrote to the court, believing that this kind of behavior of the landlord should be resolutely stopped, not only to stop, but also to re-stipulate, once the people rent more years, it must be reduced year by year.
There are some officials in the court who quit, and they rely on those fields to collect rent, if there is not so much rent in the future, then why buy fields!
Besides, it has been like this for hundreds of years, and if it is changed like this now, many people who have land will sell their land.
In fact, some people still found out that the final contradiction fell on the New Deal, which is that some people are expressing dissatisfaction with the damage to their interests in the implementation of the New Deal.
Then things developed very slowly, and the two sides stopped after only a tentative moment, and waited and saw the situation.
For the saints, it is very clear that the current court is actually underneath the calm, and they are all waiting for the reaction of the new court after taking office, and they can delay it for a day now.
Yu Gong was not in good health during this time, and only the Great Court could see him, and many people were waiting to see when he would submit his resignation.
There are also two people, the Duke of Wei and the Duke of England, who also began to consciously stay away from the court during this time.
There is no way, this is a son of heaven and a courtier, waiting for these people to be replaced, and the old team of Xining Sheng in the court will be gone.
Qi Canghai was also speechless in the face of this situation, he couldn't really arrest all these people, the court was not messed up, but he couldn't let this kind of thing develop and delay things!
Just when he couldn't find a way, Daniel Zhang, the commander of the left battalion and transferred from the Janissaries, came to him very cautiously.
"Commander, I have something important to tell you!"
Wei Nei's subordinates are still called in the old way, after all, the official position in the court is just a name outside, such as Lu Yu's capital envoy, who is directly called the commander of the capital.
"Grand Commander, this is a secret letter from my office, about some officials in the court."
Daniel Zhang paused and considered the language, "I really don't know where these secret letters come from, it's not to hide the Great Commander!" ”
Daniel Zhang felt aggrieved, as the leader of the Silver Eagle Guard, he was originally doing the work of a spy, but now someone put the letter on his desk without being known.
He had actually hesitated for a long time before he came, and now the timing was too critical, and he also knew what the Great Commander needed most, but after working hard for a long time, he was not completely sure at all.
But this secret letter just solves their current predicament, even if he can't explain it clearly, he has to tell the commander the content of the secret letter, and then talk about it first.
"I believe in you!" Qi Canghai did not hesitate after reading the secret letter.
"The content of this is not something you and your people can do, you can make a move at this time, and the timing is also very good, there are not many people in the court who can do this, and there are even fewer people who need to be handed over to us and don't do it ourselves!"
"Regardless of these details, now that you have the key evidence, go for it and do it quickly and solidly!"
"Yes, don't hide it from the Great Commander, I originally wanted to tell you after I finished it directly."
Daniel Zhang was afraid that Qi Canghai would misunderstand, "I have quietly arranged for them to be ready." ”
Qi Canghai stood up and walked in front of him, "There is no need, Daniel Zhang, we are not the first day of cooperation, you know my temper, besides, my shoulder is better than you can resist, something really happened, it's a big deal not to want this title, just with the merits of three generations, the saint will not want my life, so there is no need to grieve yourself in these things!" ”
"Go ahead, finish things first, and then think about it, who will help you, this person is likely to be returning the favor!"
Daniel Zhang was stunned, he really didn't expect this, but now he is not free, let's do things well first.
It was useless for three days, Daniel Zhang directly secretly arrested a head of the household department into the inner prison of Silver Eagle Guard, and even the punishment was useless, and this chief confessed to his boss, Li Changping, from Jingzhou.
Next, Qi Canghai came forward directly, and Jiang Linlin, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, became the first victim in this wave of fighting, and left the court to return to his hometown.
Really counted, he is still Yuan Rui's teacher and the deputy chief examiner of the new subject. This is a somewhat corrupt scholar, and it is purely accidental that he is involved.
It is because of this that Qi Canghai knew that this person did not have so many scheming, and he did not engage in any involvement, extortion of confessions, etc., so he told the saint truthfully, so that he could retreat with his whole body.
Next, a Langzhong of the Ministry of Works, a count of three generations, and a general of Duwei of three grades were successively imprisoned, dismissed, and cut down, and now, it is very clear. Qi Canghai also had no intention of expanding, so he directly closed the case and stopped investigating!
