Chapter 258: Down with the landlord and gentry

After Chen Cao's incendiary rally, when he returned to the city, he was approached by many gentry and landlords who came to him and offered to cooperate with Juntian's exemption, to which Chen Cao ordered that these people should not be accepted for three days.

Huang Chunyao was deeply surprised by this, it stands to reason that he has achieved the goal that Chen Cao wants, but at this moment, he doesn't know why he didn't stop it, there are still many green-skinned hooligans among those who fight the landlord, and most of the things about the gang and the rape of women are led by these people.

For this reason, Huang Chunyao couldn't help but go to Chen Cao, which surprised him.

Chen Cao said these two words casually, and then looked at Huang Chunyao: "What I said in Songjiang at that time was not a joke, the establishment of the party was imperative, and these people are the best party members." ”

Huang Chunyao could not understand how Chen Cao's so-called 'party members' operated, but if he knew what kind of reaction he would have had after the Kuomintang had more than 80 million members.

"The so-called dependents in today's Donglin Party are not officials, and the lowest ranks are all Xiucai, how can these rural villagers who don't know a few big characters become supporters?"

Chen Cao didn't agree with Huang Chunyao's words, so he said: "Yunsheng is biased, don't you know that Huang Chao was in turmoil back then?" ”

Huang Chao made a rebellion, killed countless people, and used human flesh as military food, such a mad person Huang Chunyao naturally knew, but Chen Cao made him think about Huang Chao's past, and his deep meaning was still unknown.

"The hearts of the people..."

Chen Cao looked at him seriously: "The main reason why Huang Chao can respond to every call is that he cares about the people's hearts, although he failed in the end, it cannot be denied that he is very good at dealing with ordinary people;

Don't talk about Huang Chao, just talk about my founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty..."

Chen Cao didn't finish speaking straightforwardly, he believed that Huang Chunyao was not stupid, Zhu Yuanzhang could become an emperor from a cowherding baby, and naturally had his own set in winning the hearts of the people.

Thinking of this, Huang Chunyao suddenly became enlightened and shook himself towards Chen Cao to the end: "Student Meng Lang, I have to be taught by my grandfather, I really clear the clouds..."

Chen Cao laughed, and then said: "What kind of teaching is this, I'm just focusing on telling you that the people are the masters of the world, you and I are just guides and maintainers of order, as long as you have them, you have no problem doing anything." ”

"Students should keep it in mind..."

"By the way, I think the name of the new party I said last time can be changed, as for the name of the party, you and the people below will come to me after you make a decision."

"Yes..."

.

"The revolution is innocent, the rebellion is justified, the landlords and gentry are overthrown, and the people live and work in peace and contentment..."

"The revolution is innocent, the rebellion is justified, the landlords and gentry are overthrown, and the people live and work in peace and contentment..."

"The revolution is innocent, the rebellion is justified, the landlords and gentry are overthrown, and the people live and work in peace and contentment..."

The earth-shattering slogan began to sound from the inner city gates of Wu County and Changzhou County, and the number of Jing Cong people grew from thousands at the beginning to 780,000 people, most of whom were ordinary people from the two counties, and there were many Dingwu soldiers and soldiers in the procession who changed their costumes, in order to keep the whole procession at a normalized level.

The wealthy gentry in the entire city of Suzhou were nervous one by one, and the landlords in Wu County and Changzhou knew what happened to them, and the leaders Zhang Cai and Zhang Shihuang were even more panicked.

It is impossible to escape, and the Dingwu army has long guarded all passes, so much so that in the middle of the night, hundreds of wealthy gentry and wealthy families with their families have been arrested.

Thinking of the trick behind the demonstration, the wealthy families in Suzhou set off one after another, and went to the governor's yamen again, in order to survive their livelihood, these people all knelt outside the governor's yamen, pounded their heads like garlic, and asked to see Chen Cao.

At this moment, Chen Cao was flirting with a maid in the governor's yamen, if it weren't for the good-looking woman, he wouldn't be interested.

"Grandpa, the demonstrator team has entered the city, and is walking towards the governor's yamen from the two directions of the north city and the east city, and there are countless people joining along the way, and it is estimated that the number of people will eventually be around 200,000, so you have to worry about chaos..."

Chen Cao sent the maid away, then stared at Huang Chunyao and said: "There are more than 300,000 people in the three counties of Suzhou, in order to prevent the situation from expanding, I have asked Song Che to lead troops to guard each gate, and the team is also guarded by the Dingwu army, even if the situation deteriorates, it should be under control." ”

"Grandpa..."

Zhao Xin went to help watch the scene, and when he went out, he saw the gentry landlord kneeling outside, so he turned back and told Chen Cao what was going on outside the door.

Chen Cao frowned, and then said with a smile: "Look, the time has come for us to get rich, go, bring all the people in, and my father-in-law will talk to them." ”

Zhang Cai and Zhang Shihuang came late, and the people in front had just been summoned, and a few of them didn't kneel there after they were late, and they could be regarded as retaining their faces.

"Why, you actually have time to come to Bengong for tea? Don't you go to the countryside to protect your property? ”

The people who came in with a sentence were all red-faced, but they didn't dare to come forward to refute a word, and even Zhang Cai and Zhang Shihuang were silent.

It stands to reason that the families of these two people have suffered a catastrophe, and Chen Jie bears unshirkable responsibility for the driving force behind it, but even so, no one can come up with evidence, after all, it is not the Dingwu soldiers who did it, but the local people of Suzhou, who belong to the tenants of those big families.

"Ladies and gentlemen, tell me, what are you looking for today? Now that the people's procession has arrived on Taihu Street, the Duke has to maintain order. ”

Originally, these people still formed a united front with Zhang Cai and Zhang Shihuang, but after the two families suffered a blow, these people completely understood one thing;

People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads ...

The obese middle-aged man took the lead in kneeling, kowtowing and crying: "Liang Guogong save his life, the small one is willing to take the initiative to cooperate with the Liangguo Gong Juntian exemption policy, and the small one is willing to donate half of the family property to the army..."

Chen Cao frowned and looked at the fat man, but did not make a sound.

Someone took the lead, someone followed, and from time to time, more than a dozen people knelt down together, kowtowed to Chen Cao to admit their mistakes, and then said the same thing as the fat man.

Obviously, this group of people saw one thing clearly, Chen Cao, who was under the banner of 'Qing Jun's side', led the army to capture Suzhou and treated the people without committing any crimes, and the Dingwu army had strict military discipline, except for the soldiers stationed in the city, most of them were stationed in the military camp outside the city;

This is still secondary, the point is that Chen Cao did not kill them after arresting them, but only explained to them the edict of the Emperor of the Apocalypse and the policies he wanted to implement.

Now, the 'fighting landlord' suddenly became active in Suzhou Mansion, with the experience of Qingpu's past, this group of people suddenly understood a truth, the strong man broke his wrist and gave up his wealth to protect his family is the right way, in Songjiang Mansion is now commercially developed, Suzhou is not incomparable, on the contrary, Suzhou's business is more prosperous than Songjiang;

In this way, this group of people decided to take the initiative to cooperate with Chen Cao, and then donate their family property to the army, so as to gain Chen Cao's favor in order to survive in the future.

Zhang Cai and Zhang Shihuang were suddenly shocked, once these people said the words of the army, they tacitly agreed with Chen Cao's reputation as 'Qingjun side', and in this way, this rebellion in the eyes of literati and politicians actually became a righteous teacher, and what about them?

Seeing this, Chen Cao laughed, and then said: "You are very alert, well, since you are so sincere, how can my father not fulfill your good intentions?" ”

As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Xin on the side: "Zhao Xin, go, send people to register one by one, and then lead the people to their homes to protect their respective mansions, don't let the people who are demonstrating harass." ”

"My subordinates will do it..."

With Chen Cao's words, this group of people was relieved, but more than a dozen people behind Zhang Cai and Zhang Shihuang were flustered, what should I do?

Once you choose to compromise, your side will be a coordinated rebellion, Zhang Cai is the leader of the officials who is unwilling to surrender, and Zhang Shihuang is even more connected with many people who are ready to secretly play a black hand, if this continues, can you go out again if you come with me today?

"The title of this duke of Liangguo was given by the first emperor, so naturally he had to follow the edict of the first emperor to ascend the throne of King Fu, but when today's son is not right, the first emperor died strangely, this is a matter related to my Ming Dynasty Sheji, how can you be sloppy?

This public edict against thieves, where they pass, in addition to protecting the territory and the people, but also to let the local people live a good life, you and others do not rely on the relationship after decades or even hundreds of years of accumulation to create today's wealth, what you get, are the people's fat and people's ointment, the heavenly family knows that it is taken from the people for the people, and you rich and wealthy gentry, but you only know how to exploit the people;

You must remember that water can carry a boat and capsize a boat, and it is already a great gift for my father to enter the city and arrest you without killing you, if some people still want to keep their wealth, then this prince can only let the people get back what belongs to them..."

Chen Cao said and looked at Zhang Cai and Zhang Shihuang who were behind the crowd: "Don't think that my father doesn't know what idea you guys are fighting, now that King Fu's army is approaching Fengyang, Nanjing is just around the corner, if you are still obsessed, don't think that this prince really doesn't dare to kill you;

Emperor Chengzu can destroy the ten clans of Fang Xiaoru, so do you ants have the courage to compare yourself to Fang Xiaoru? ”

Fang Xiaoru's reputation in the Jianwen Dynasty is not small, but he is a famous man under the great tomorrow, and there is only one literati who can be compared with the Ming Dynasty, Wang Yangming.

And Zhu Di even dared to kill Fang Xiaoru at that time, not to mention the gang in front of him.

Being mentioned by Chen Cao like this, Zhang Cai and Zhang Shihuang instantly softened their tempers, so it seems that they really have no choice, Zhang Shihuang is not a registered official after all, after looking at Zhang Cai, he bowed to Chen Cao dejectedly: "The old man is willing to cooperate with the government of Liangguogong." ”&
