Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 51 A lot of text
Return to the capital?Let the Ministry of Internal Affairs pay for compensation of 2000 taels of silver for each province along the way?Tired?

A series of reactions from Qian Deaf's old dog made He Shen seem to see an aging lion in a daze.

The lion is getting old, its claws are no longer sharp, its cry is no longer as thrilling as before, and its physical and mental strength can't keep up. Facing the provocation of the young tiger cub, this old lion can only stand in front of him. While retreating helplessly, he roared twice, hoping to scare off the young tiger cub with his roar.

It even hopes that the animals in its territory will think of its benefits, and hope that these animals that are usually bullied and preyed by it will help it drive away the tiger cubs that dare to provoke it.

After all, Qian Deaf old dog is 73 years old. Even if this old dog eats ginseng antler as food, even if this old lecherous dog is still in the mood to inspect the river projects on young ladies, he is still old after all.

He Zhongtang sighed in his heart, and after bowing down, he took Agui and Mingxing to leave, and it was not until he left the palace where the old dog Qian Deaf was, that He Zhongtang coughed and said, "I want to follow you." With Lord Long Live returning to Beijing, the matter of firearms and suppressing bandits will require a lot of hard work for you two."

Ah Gui and Ming Xing hurriedly bowed and said, "Master Zhongtang, what are you talking about? This is what a humble job should do, should."

He Shen hummed, blinked his dead fish eyes, and said to Agui: "After I return to Beijing with the Lord Long Live, the officialdom in Shandong, you, the imperial envoy, must take good care of it."

"It should be noted that our Long Live Lord is a good emperor who loves the people like his son, but these local officials have acted recklessly, so that there was Zhu Ni first, and then there were Bagua Sect and White Lotus Sect. This, this really chills Long Live Lord!"

Ah Guidang even understood He Geng's meaning, bowed and said: "Lord Zhongtang, don't worry, I will definitely punish these corrupt officials, and I will never let these corrupt people ruin the reputation of Long Live Lord."

What kind of people are corrupt?What kind of corruption deserves death?
Officials of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty will definitely not be corrupt. They are all Qingtian masters who love the people like their own sons. As for what kind of respect?Charcoal respect?Does that have anything to do with corruption?
The rest of the muddy officials must be corrupt, but there are those who deserve to die, and those who are not worthy of death. Those who hand in gold, silver, jewelry, and antique paintings certainly shouldn't die.

Damn it is those who neither hand in the crime money, nor are they willing to hand in the gold, silver, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings they picked up.

This is a knowledge, an extremely profound knowledge, a knowledge that can make people live comfortably.

After hearing Agui's statement, He Zhongtang nodded in satisfaction, and said to Agui with a smile: "Agui, you won't be offended by calling you that?"

Ah Guidang smiled flatteringly and said, "Master Zhongtang, what are you talking about? You call me a humble person because you are close to me. How can I be offended by me?"

He Zhongtang gave a hum, and then said: "In my opinion, this matter of countering rebellion is very particular."

Agui was taken aback for a moment, then bowed and smiled flatteringly: "Master Zhongtang, please show me?"

He Shen hummed, and said: "Long live God loves the people like his son, so naturally he doesn't want to kill more, but this counter-insurgency is a war, and war will kill people. If you don't want to kill people, those traitors will not kill you." Stop, if the traitors don't stop, Long Live Lord will not be happy, so, huh?"

Ah Guidang even bowed and said: "Master Zhongtang, don't worry, I will use the imperial envoy to prevent and transfer Zhili, Shandong Eight Banners, and Luying to suppress the rebellion, and guarantee that the rebellion will be wiped out within three months. If not, I will come to see you!"

He Shen smiled and said: "Look at what you said, whether you come to meet with your head or not, it's just nonsense - what Long Live God wants is that you can do your job with all your heart, not your head."

After finishing speaking, He Shen waved his hands to the two of them, and said, "Go ahead, the sooner you settle the matter of the firearms, the sooner you will wipe out those rebels, the sooner you can pay me back. A clear universe."

……

Qian Deaf’s southern tour usually starts from the capital and passes through Zhili, Shandong, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang. The return route is not necessarily the same, basically it is these four provinces or a few surrounding provinces, and each province Will pass through several state capitals.

This means that Qian Deaf Old Dog’s so-called compensation of 2000 taels of silver for each province along the way may only be two to three hundred taels after being distributed to the state capitals along the way, and for each county, it may only be a few dozen taels, and further When it comes to specific villages, there may only be a few hundred coins.

It should be noted that this is the premise of not going through layers of exploitation to ensure that each village will be allocated a few hundred coins. , even the county government can only get a fart.

Fortunately, this time, the old dog Qian Deaf personally confessed that he would give compensation of 2000 taels for each province along the way, and Heshen and Zhongtang personally confessed that they would rectify the officialdom, so the 2000 taels of compensation for each province is still A lot of pennies really went to the hands of the common people.

Unfortunately, when the compensation money reached the hands of the common people, each household received only one penny.

If I picked up a penny while walking on the road, the common people would probably be very happy, after all, it was money picked up for nothing, but with the penny compensated by the deaf old dog, no commoner would be happy.

I honestly paid taxes all my life, and after paying the taxes for decades, every few years, I have to bring my own dry food to the corvee because of the money-deaf old dog going to the south of the Yangtze River. It was clear water sprinkled on the street, and now the old dog who is deaf and deaf said lightly "I, I often think about my own mistakes", and then gave a penny as compensation. Who can be happy about this?

Of course, if there is no peasant association, maybe the common people will hold their noses and endure it. After all, the people don’t fight with the officials. If Lord Qian Deaf can give you a penny of compensation, he will think highly of you, even if he doesn’t give it. You, what else can you do?You still have to pay for the corvee, and you still have to take out the money!
However, after the existence of the peasant association, these common people knew that the reason why Qian Deaf and the old dog would give this penny as compensation was not because he often thought about his mistakes as he said, but because he was repeatedly found by Shandong. He was afraid of the rebellion, and he was afraid that he would not be able to sit on the dragon chair, so he would give compensation and go back to the capital in despair.

The same principle applies to those local tyrants and evil gentry - after the peasant association united all the people, those local tyrants and evil gentry did not dare to mention [-]% of the rent, but started to lower the rent one after another. What's more, they will take money and humbly ask to join the peasant association.

Mr. Lu Xun said that since ancient times, the people who are the best to be fooled are the common people, and the people who are the worst to be fooled are also the people.

The common people who clearly understood this, for the one penny compensation given by Qian Deaf Old Dog, were not as grateful as Qian Deaf Old Dog imagined. Instead, they were more closely united around the peasant association. It also took the opportunity to expand a lot.

In other words, there are more rebels in the Shandong area, and there is a trend of intensifying.

Especially after the old dog Qian Deaf left Jinan Prefecture, in places like Dongchang Prefecture, Qingzhou Prefecture, Laizhou Prefecture, Dengzhou Prefecture, Caozhou Prefecture, and Yanzhou Prefecture, the peasant associations were even more vigorous like Yizhou Prefecture. Directly state the tax and donation resistance of the chariots and horses.

Anyway, Qian Deaf's tax for 49 years had already been paid when Qian Deaf was 23 years old. The government wants to collect Qian Deaf's 94 year tax in advance, but there is no way!
After hearing the news, from Agui and Mingxing, to all the prefects, prefects, and county magistrates, there were only four words left in my heart: want to cry but have no tears.

In all fairness, the compensation money given by the old dog Qian Deaf this time is really not much. In addition to the existence of Zhu Jinsong, Chen Tailai and the farmers' associations in various places, whether it is Mingxing's Shandong governor's office or the local state Neither the government office nor the county government in various places reached out to the 2000 taels of silver.

On the contrary, because Ah Gui has been gesticulating blindly with a butcher's knife, and there are too many people and too little compensation money, the county lords in many places had to pay part of the gap out of their own pockets, which made people feel that they had lost their lives. Every household was allocated a penny.

However, the final result is so indescribable.

As a result, Agui, the imperial envoy, was almost driven mad: "Long Live Lord has already stopped his southern tour and compensated them, what else do they want! Do we have to force Long Live Lord to issue an edict to sin against himself? What is this? The great treason!"

Ming Xing, who was sitting on the side, didn't take it seriously, instead he took a sip of the tea, and then said with a smile: "It's just that some mud legs can't find things, your brother is too impatient. .”

Ah Gui was thinking that I am the imperial envoy, you are the governor of Shandong, we are not the same as grasshoppers on the same rope now, you still have the mind to drink tea?
Agui was upset, and Dang even snorted coldly and said: "Now those rioters are getting louder and louder, even the prefect of Tai'an has surrendered the thieves. Not urgent?"

Ming Xing laughed, put down his teacup and said, "Of course I'm also anxious, but what's the use of being anxious? The [-] matchlock guns I bought from Xiyi are expected to be delivered the day after tomorrow, and there are [-] more. A matchlock gun and fifty red barbarian cannons are still on the way, what's the use of you being in a hurry now?"

Hearing what Mingxing said, Agui was stunned immediately, and it took a while to come back to his senses, and asked: "Arquebus? You don't buy a flintlock, you buy an arquebus?"

On the surface, the matchlock gun has a fork inserted into the ground in front, so it is better in shooting stability than the flintlock gun. If you use a nine-in-ten chain array, you can indeed shoot without interruption .

But in fact, when encountering rebels like Zhu Jinsong who don't like to fight head-on but like to ambush and sneak attack, where did they have the time to stick the fork of the matchlock gun into the ground?Where does the time come from for such a nine-in-one-ten-series battle formation?
If you want to deal with Zhu Jinsong's group of rebels who don't talk about martial arts, the best way is to use flintlock guns to deal with flintlock guns.

It's a good thing now, Ming Xing, a bastard, doesn't buy a flintlock gun but a matchlock gun?The fuck did he think that the imperial envoy died slowly, or did he think that the imperial envoy was not ashamed enough to be captured once?

Thinking of this, Agui's face could not help but gloomy.

Damn it, originally for the sake of the fact that the big guys belong to the three flags, I let you handle the firearms, and I planned to let you get the most of the money, but looking at it now, it's not you who lead the army , are you going to fuck me to death?

The more Agui thought about it, the angrier she became, and she couldn't help but snorted coldly: "When it's time to suppress the bandits, you go with me."

Seeing that Agui was upset, Ming Xing knew why Agui was upset after a little thought. Dang even said with a smile: "Don't worry, there are still [-] flintlock guns. The matchlock guns are for the green battalion. The flintlock guns It was prepared for our Eight Banners. By the way, you don’t think I only bought matchlock guns, do you?”
