Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 19 The missing rebel?
Fucha Mingxing really wanted to lead his troops to find Zhu Jinsong's trace immediately, then chop off Zhu Jinsong's head, put it in a wooden box and send it to the capital to ask for credit.

But when Fucha Mingxing asked about Zhu Jinsong's whereabouts, Chen Tailai, the governor of Jining Prefecture's River Road, murmured and couldn't tell who he was.

Fucha Mingxing's face darkened, and he asked, "Which direction did Zhu Jinsong go? Even Ningyang led Wenshang, and the two counties together have six hundred inspectors. Didn't anyone find Zhu Ni?" trail?"

Zhan Hongbo, the magistrate of Jining Prefecture, and Wu Zude, the magistrate of Yanzhou, looked at each other, but found that the other party's eyes were full of helplessness, and they immediately understood what was going on.

Chen Tailai quietly looked at Zhan Hongbo, then at Wu Zude, but seeing that both of them lowered their heads slightly and did not speak, he felt a little uncomfortable.

What's the matter, you are a magistrate, a magistrate, and all your patrol soldiers have been slaughtered, but now you don't even have the courage to admit that you are incompetent?

Chen Tailai felt contemptuous in his heart, and immediately cupped his hands to Fucha Mingxing and said: "My lord Futai, when I was passing by Wenshang County, I saw many corpses of patrolling soldiers, presumably they were killed by Zhu Ni. "

Speaking of this, Chen Tailai glanced at Wu Zude again, and said: "As for Ningyang County... With Zhu Ni's ruthlessness, I am afraid that the patrol soldiers in Ningyang County have already been murdered."

Hearing that Chen Tailai didn't intend to cover up for the two of them at all, Zhan Hongbo and Wu Zude quickly stroked the sleeves of the horseshoe, knelt down and said: "This official is incompetent, this official deserves to die!"

Fucha Mingxing's complexion turned even darker.

That's it?If the prefects and prefects of the Qing Dynasty were like these two things, wouldn't the country of the Qing Dynasty be in danger?
Fucha Mingxing said with a dark face: "Get up first. The most urgent task right now is to find Zhu Ni's whereabouts. As for the crimes of the two of you, we will save them and deal with them later."

Zhan Hongbo and Wu Zude stood up gratefully, and then they flattered for a while. It took a long time to take a good look at Fucha Mingxing's face.

The damn thing is, after being so delayed by Zhan Hongbo and Wu Zude, half a day passed by, and when Fucha Mingxing woke up to what he was doing, the sun had already gradually reached the western mountain.

After regaining consciousness, Fucha Mingxing also knew that he could not rely on these two trashes, Zhan Hongbo and Wu Zude, so he asked Chen Tailai immediately: "Since the inspection yamen can't be counted on, how can we find Zhu Ni's trace? "

Chen Tailai was contemptuous in his heart, and he cupped his hands and replied: "Master Futai, I thought I could send people to the Zhuangzi near Wenshang County to take a look, even if we couldn't find any trace of Zhu Ni, it would still be able to get Baojia from every village and village Players pay attention to one or two."

Fucha Mingxing hummed, and was about to agree, but Wu Yaozu cupped his hands and said, "Master Qizuo Futai, Zhu Ni has always been ruthless in his actions, and he always kills all villages, whether they are gentry or Baojia. I'm afraid it's not easy for the leader of the village security guard."

Seeing that the majestic magistrate of Yanzhou is so useless, Chen Tailai felt even more contemptuous in his heart, and thought that I deserve to make meritorious service today!

Chen Tailai retorted: "Even if the two county magistrates and the Baojia Paichang are eliminated, the newly appointed magistrate will still be able to elect a new Baojia Paichang."

"Even if the existing Baojia is destroyed, the new county magistrate will not take office for a while, and the two adults can still be responsible for the temporary responsibility of the previous Baojia."

"Don't forget, the Baojia is changed every three years, and you have the responsibility to report suspicious and mysterious people. As long as the Baojia in a few villages can report Zhu Ni's traces, then Zhu Ni will have no chance to escape. escaped."

Seeing Fucha Mingxing nodding vigorously and about to agree to Chen Tailai's proposal, Zhan Hongbo and Wu Zude could not wait to sew up Chen Tailai's foul mouth with a needle.

Why, as long as you, Governor Lin, know the principle of using Baojia, we, a prefect and a prefect, don't know?

The point is that the Baojia system in many villages has long existed in name only!

If it was the reign of Emperor Kangxi, the Baojia system might still be useful, but in the reign of Emperor Qianlong, the Baojia system had long been played by the country gentry!

According to the law of the Qing Dynasty, Baojia should be replaced every three years, right?How simple is it, the clansman of the squire's family will be the first round of Baojia, and after three years, it will be all right to be replaced by servants?How can I pick it up after a while?
And Zhu Nixiang acted ruthlessly, how many evil gentry have not been wiped out?And why did you leave any Baojia?
If those unscrupulous people would not take the initiative to report, who would know that the original Baojia had been killed by Zhu Ni?
In addition, all the Baojia records in the county government offices of Ningyang and Wenshang counties were completely burned. It is extremely difficult to find out the situation of Baojia in each village. You still want to rely on the Baojia system to trace Zhu Inverse trail?

Also, do you, Governor Lin, know what time it is now?The third day of the first month of the 49th year of Qianlong!This fucking year hasn't passed yet!
Even if I go all out, I will force the officials below to risk their lives to implement the Baojia system, but the people in the villages below will leave their relatives, how do you find out!
Biru old mother!

But, even though Zhan Hongbo and Wu Zude were so angry that they scolded their mothers in their hearts, they had to admit that, compared to the situation where they were helpless, Chen Tailai's proposal was considered a good idea even if it had various troubles. The best way so far.

However, what makes people desperate is that after Zhan Hongbo and Wu Zude each sent someone to review the Baojia system under their own rule, they found that there was no shadow of Zhu Jinsong at all.

It was not until more than ten days later that Tai'an Mansion reported that Zhuangzi near Dawenkou had been attacked by bandits from Yuhuang Mountain, but when Fucha Mingxing hurriedly led his troops to Tai'an Mansion, Zhu Jinsong disappeared without a trace again. no trace.

Only then did Fucha Mingxing realize that he was completely tricked by that rebel Zhu Jinsong.

Fucha Mingxing didn't care much about being tricked by that rebel Zhu Jinsong, or he didn't have much time to care about it.

Fucha Mingxing's master, Old Dog Qian Deaf, is about to leave the capital and head south.

Fucha Mingxing, who has been angry countless times recently, once again scolded Zhan Hongbo, Wu Zude, Chen Tailai, and Tai'an prefect Zeng Cheng.

Fucha Mingxing turned back and forth in circles, and said angrily: "Long Live Lord is about to leave for the south, but Ben Fu didn't even see Zhu Ni's shadow! You tell Ben Fu, who is Zhu Ni?" Did it go to the sky? Or did it go to the ground?"

"I'm telling you, if you can't find Zhu Ni's shadow before Long Live God leaves, I will certainly not be in a better life, but you will not be much better either!"

Speaking of this, Fucha Mingxing rolled his eyes and said, "I know that the county government below has always said that there is a limit, so today I also set a limit for you!"

"Three days! This Fu only gives you three days to find Zhu Ni's trace within three days. If not, the military law will do it!"

Zhan Hongbo, Wu Zude, Chen Tailai, and Zeng Cheng knelt down to plead guilty in a hurry, and then they patted their chests and made a promise that they would find Zhu Jinsong and his gang within three days.

Only then did Fucha Mingxing's anger subside a little, and he waved his hand to signal the four of them to get out and track down Zhu Jinsong.

After leaving Fucha Mingxing's big tent, Chen Tailai's face drooped: "Three days, only three days, but now I don't even understand the Baojia situation in your two counties. I want to find Zhu How easy is it to find Ni's trace?"

Zhan Hongbo, Wu Zude, and Tai'an prefect Zeng Cheng also frowned. After the three of them looked at each other, their faces were three points uglier than dead parents.

After a long silence, Zhan Hongbo dragged Wu Zude, Chen Tailai, and Zeng Cheng to find a secluded place, and said in a low voice: "Master Futai set a limit for us, of course we can also set a limit for the following."

"It's just that Zhu Ni has disappeared without a trace now, and I haven't heard of any movement of Zhuangzi's Baojia. This matter is a bit difficult to handle."

Chen Tailai sneered and said: "Now everyone knows that this matter is difficult to handle, otherwise we wouldn't have such a headache, but what's the use of you just knowing that it's difficult to handle? You have to find a way!"

Zhan Hongbo snorted coldly and said, "I do have some ideas, but I don't know if you, Governor Chen, have the guts?"

Chen Tailai's heart moved, and he said: "If you don't tell me your method, how will you know if I have the guts?"

Zhan Hongbo was silent for a long time before he opened his mouth and said, "Zhu Ni on the left and right has disappeared without a trace..."

Chen Tailai interrupted Zhan Hongbo impatiently: "I know that Zhu Ni has disappeared without a trace, so you don't need to say it again!"

Zhan Hongbo was furious immediately, and said: "Either, you can just listen to what I have to say, or you can think of a solution yourself!"

After losing his temper, Zhan Hongbo snorted again, and said, "Who among us has seen that Zhu Ni? Or, now, who knows what that Zhu Ni looks like?"

Wu Zude said: "None of us have ever seen Zhu Ni, so of course we don't know what he looks like, but the villagers in Liumiao Village, Ningyang County probably know what Zhu Ni looks like?"

Zhan Hongbo hummed, and said: "Since no one knows, then this matter will be much easier to handle. Anyway, Lord Futai only wants Zhu Ni's head, and in the mountains to the east of Ningyang County, there are many The village that outsiders contact..."

Speaking of this, there is no need to continue. After all, the few people present are old-fashioned fried dough sticks. The governor of the river, Chen Tailai, has long been used to such things as killing the good and taking the credit.

Zeng Cheng, the magistrate of Tai'an, didn't care much, and even wished that Chen Tailai could kill the good and pretend to be meritorious -- the old dog Qian Deaf might not go to Wenshang County, nor might he go to Ningyang County, but he would definitely come to Tai'an Prefecture .

If Chen Tailai can get Zhu Jinsong's head, then the matter of several villages under his rule being devastated by rebels can be big or small, and it can be solved with a little money.

The only question now is whether Wu Zude, the magistrate of Yanzhou, is willing to let Chen Tai come to Ningyang County under his rule to kill good people and take meritorious service.

Seeing Zeng Cheng, Zhan Hongbo and Chen Tailai all staring at him, Wu Zude straightened his beard and said, "Zhu Ni and his subordinates have about a hundred young and strong men. How could these many people fly with their wings? I guess they just hid themselves." Which poor mountain valley did you go to?"

After finishing speaking, Wu Zude solemnly bowed his hands to Chen Tailai, and said, "Should I bother Governor Chen to lead troops to investigate this matter?"

Chen Tailai grunted, as if he had agreed to the matter, but Zeng Cheng said again: "For the matter of Zhu Ni, this house and the three of you were punished by Master Futai, if we don't set a limit for the following, Are you afraid that you will suffer for them in vain?"

The other three understood in seconds.

The so-called can't be cheap for the officials below, and set a two-day deadline for them. These rhetoric are pure nonsense.

The main reason is that it takes two or even three days, at least to find a reasonable time, a reasonable place, and a suitable place, before Chen Tailai, the governor of the river, can "catch" Zhu Jinsong and his gang of rebels.

By the way, you can also look at the "handling" ability of the officials at all levels below.
