The back door of my house can last until the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 172 Uprooted
Fengxiang Mansion was Qizhou in the early Tang Dynasty, and later changed to Fufeng County.In the second year of Zhide, Emperor Suzong was fortunate to come to Fufeng County. In the same year, he recovered Chang'an and Luoyang. In December, he set up Fengxiang Mansion, named Xijing, and together with Chengdu, Jingzhao, Henan, and Taiyuan, he was called Wujing.

This is a place with a long history and a prosperous literary style. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was extremely prosperous.

Since the Song Dynasty, it gradually began to decline, but it still has a strong foundation.

In this quaint city, three fat middle-aged scholars stood on the top of the city.

These three people are Zhou Helu, Li Chengwei and Zhao Yunjing.

These three families are the three major gentry in Fengxiang Mansion. Although they are all just Juren, their ancestors also produced Jinshi and high officials.

The three of them have a high status in Fengxiang Mansion and are highly respected by the local people.

Similar to other gentry, their family has countless fertile fields.

Most of the people in and out of the city work for them.

These few of them do nothing all year round, and only collect land rent, so they can live comfortably.

Usually they call themselves scholars and "build bridges and pave roads" in the villages and villages. At the end of the year, they even take out some food to "relieve" the poor.

It's not too early to make money, the deeds in their hearts are not as simple as they appear on the surface.

Building bridges and paving roads is just an introduction, in order to attract other people to donate money and materials.

After the money and belongings donated by the people are received, all the money from the lords will be returned, and all the money from the people will be divided up.

There are bridges, just use rotten wood to build a few, and it doesn't cost much anyway.

As for the food for the poor people, it is just old food in their granaries.

Seeing that it is about to become moldy, it is better to take it out for alms, and it can also be exchanged for the reputation of being kind and charitable.

The three of them didn't have so much land in the first place, but since the year of Chongzhen, natural disasters and man-made disasters have continued in Shaanxi.

They took advantage of this time to annex a lot of land.

Those landless people either became tenants of their families, or they could only flee away from home.

After several famine years, the local people became poorer and poorer, but they became fatter one by one.

What you eat is called a full bowl, and what you eat is called freedom.

If Sun Jie adopts the method of cooperating with the gentry, then they will definitely support it with both hands and feet.

He will even take the initiative to maintain the stability of the place, and maybe even spend some money.

They changed when Sun-jae was about to seize their farmland.

How could these vested interests easily hand over their interests?
Zhou Helu was very fat, and his fat eyes were narrowed into slits.

He was wearing a dark red round collar with dark golden copper coins embroidered on it.

The clothes alone are more expensive than the food rations of those people in the city for three to five months.

He was standing on the top of the city, holding a teacup in his hand, and the fine tea in it was soaked in hot water and stretched to the fullest.

He took a sip carefully, then chewed with his mouth open.

A flagpole was erected in front, and a large flag with the word "Ming" fluttered in the wind.

"Now we are doing justice for the heavens, and for the sake of Daming, we must fight to the death with the rebellious officials and thieves!"

Zhou Helu's eyes gradually opened, and he turned into the embodiment of justice again, as if Wen Tianxiang was still alive.

His right hand kept waving in front of him, which was even more violent than the big flag with the word "Ming".

Li Chengwei was standing beside him. He was a little thinner, but he was also a big fat man, only thinner than Zhou Helu.

Playing with two walnuts in his hand, looking at the oily and warm shell, he can tell that time has passed.

"I have sent people to unite with nearby counties. After a few days, all the gentry and scholars in our neighborhood will raise their flags. At that time, we must let him, Sun Jie, see how powerful we are." !" Li Chengwei's voice was cold, and even anger could be heard.

What is he angry about?
Is Sun Jie rebelling?
No, he was angry that Sun Jian wanted to deprive him of his benefits.

If it was really for Daming, why was there no movement during Sun Jie's battle at Tongguan?
Just at this time?
Zhao Yunjing on the side smiled and said: "Those mud-legged people think that someone can make decisions for them, that they can really have land, but don't you know that everything is just duckweed on the water, like a mirror image!
We should also let those mud-legged people see how powerful we are. In a few days, when things are a little more stable, take a few thorns and kill chickens and respect monkeys! "

"Extremely, extremely!"

Several people agreed.

There were some "soldiers" bustling around the top of the city, they were servants of these three families.

Not as proud as the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, they can also support many thugs.

In this year of natural disasters and man-made disasters, without a strong helper in hand, how can they wantonly collect money?
A big and thick scarred face, holding a machete, patrolling back and forth on the top of the city.

His surname is Wang, and people call him Wang Dao Scar.

It's a bandit on the mountain in the north, and there are hundreds of people under his command.

He has had affairs with these three gentry families, and since Wang Dao Scar's grandfather, he has had a close relationship with these three gentry families.

Every once in a while, these bandits would go down the mountain to plunder.

They are like heavenly soldiers descending to earth, they can always accurately find the residence of the common people or the residence of the rich.

It has been like this for so many years.

The government army has also attacked, but to no avail.

As soon as the official army arrived, these bandits left behind, and they were never wiped out.

In addition, they do not touch the government, nor do they rob taxes, and they have survived until now.

The laughter of the three gentry became louder and louder, spreading to the sky.

……

It has been seven or eight days, and there is still no movement from Sun Jie.

In the imperial study of the governor's yamen, Sun Jie quietly looked at a map of Shaanxi on the table.

Shaanxi in the Ming Dynasty was a very large place, including parts of Shaanxi, Ningxia and Gansu.

Now, these places are all in the hands of Sun Jie.

Wang Bi, Sun Chuanting and Yang Lin sat aside.

Several people looked anxious.

"My lord, it's been several days. If you don't send troops to wipe it out, I'm afraid it will spread."

Wang Bi couldn't hold back, and asked.

Sun Jie raised his head and looked at the crowd, "I'm not afraid that they will spread, but I'm afraid that they won't spread.

With one effort, these unsettled people will be completely wiped out. "

Sun Chuanting's eyes narrowed. He had already thought of Sun Jie's thoughts, but he was still shocked when he heard it.

Unless you have full assurance and confidence, otherwise, you will never do this.

"I'll set them on fire again, and at the same time open Tongguan, let caravans in and out, and see how far they can go!"

Sun Jie slammed the table suddenly, his voice was louder.

It's not just caravans that enter and leave Tongguan, but also those with ulterior motives.

Let these ghostly people be bolder, and try to bring those timid ones along.

This time, we will use Juehu.com.All unsteady factors will be completely killed.

A stable rear is crucial.

"But, but, in this way, I'm afraid the casualties will be heavy. Whether it's gentry or ordinary people." Wang Bi hesitated.

Sun Jie's voice was full of murderous intent: "Short-term pain is worse than long-term pain. These people will be dealt with sooner or later. If they jump out this time, they will be wiped out thoroughly!"

Seeing Sun Jie like this, Sun Chuanting suddenly thought of something.

His eyes suddenly lit up, and a bold idea was caught by him.

Could it be that what happened to Fengxiang Mansion was done on purpose by him? !

Once this idea appears, it is like taking root and cannot be thrown out.

The more I think about it, the more I think so.

The soldiers and horses in the reserve service are not as good as the regular army, and Sun Chuanting knows this.

He also worked as a military training instructor for a few days, so he naturally knew what was going on in these reserves.

But it is much more powerful than the soldiers and horses of the imperial court and the soldiers and horses before Sun Chuanting.

Fengxiang Mansion is a large mansion in the west of Guanzhong, known as the West Mansion.

It has a large population and countless fertile fields.

It stands to reason that the garrison there should at least be more than one hundred households, but this time there were only 50 people stationed there.

Sun Chuanting had never seen these 50 people, and I didn't know who had mentioned it before, saying that these 50 people were basically selected from the soldiers of the Ming army, and it is said that they were related to the Ming army general Jia Ding.

And the clerks who went to Qingzhang's land, it seems, were also soldiers of the Ming army.

This is not right, not right!

Sun Chuanting looked at the young man who was looking at the map in front of him, and suddenly felt unfathomable, and even felt cold on the soles of his feet.

If it is said that those strange "extraterrestrial objects" are shocking, then this scheming as deep as Jiuyuan is even more frightening.

Cold sweat broke out from his forehead, Sun Chuanting forcibly suppressed this thought, forcing himself not to think about it.

"Mr. Sun, what's the matter? Are you uncomfortable?"

Sun Jie noticed Sun Chuanting's movements and asked with a puzzled expression.

Sun Chuanting quickly shook his head, "No, it's just that my back is itchy for a while, and I can't scratch it."

"How about this, Yu Ruyi was among the rewards given to me by the imperial court before, I don't need that thing, I will get you some later!" Sun Jie said.

I wanted to refuse, but seeing Sun Jie's sincere eyes, I had no choice but to say thank you and accept my intention.

As the night gradually deepened, Sun Chuanting walked out of the governor's office, holding a solar-powered flashlight, and walked on the way home.

The entourage behind him held the jade ruyi that Sun Jie had given him.

Sun Jie allocated him a three-entry house in Dongcheng, which was originally the property of Prince Qin's Mansion, but was later bought by Sun Chuwen and given to Sun Jie.

The light spots on the road kept shaking, and Sun Chuanting was filled with emotion.

"Be kind to your opponents, hate your enemies.

This time, I am afraid that these gentry in Shaanxi will suffer.

They deserve it, and they should try it this time.

This situation is somewhat similar to Emperor Taizu Gao! "

Sun Chuanting shook his head and walked into the house.

I didn't feel that Sun Jie's method hurt the peace of heaven. Compared with those monarchs who killed, Sun Jie was already so benevolent.

At the very least, Sun Jie only targeted those evil gentry and powerful people.And these people are damned.

……

Reserves from various prefectures and counties also began to go out of the city for "training", and the city defenses gradually became empty.

Sun Jie's deliberate indulgence caused many prefectures and counties in Shaanxi to rise up.

This news was sent to the capital within a short period of time.

Zhou Yanru and others discussed an excellent solution.

However, Sun Jie didn't pursue at all, but led his troops back to Shaanxi.

This sudden operation caught Zhou Yanru and the others by surprise.

They were all ready, and they were waiting for Sun Jie to lead the troops to come and leave Chongzhen and go directly south.

The fight was stopped suddenly, which made these people not know what to do for a while, so they could only stand still.

But he was worried, so he transferred the property in the city to Jinling.

The news of Tongguan's defeat was not concealed in the end, and gradually spread.

Chongzhen originally wanted to take the opportunity to wipe out these traitors, but later found that it involved too many people, and there was no one in his hands.

If this is caught in a catch, the entire court will be paralyzed.

What's even more frightening is that Liaodong, Jizhen, Xuanfu, and Datong were defeated in Tongguan. Only one Wu Sangui escaped with less than 3000 people.

In the follow-up, there were also thousands of people who fled back sparsely. Together, there were less than 5000 people.

Although there are still some left in the Beijing camp, the number of people is small, and it is difficult to defend the entire capital.

All of a sudden, the entire capital was almost undefended.

There are still some left-behind soldiers and horses at Shanhaiguan, but with such a small number of people, it is not difficult to keep them.

If slaves were established and invaded by bandits, a single charge would be able to reach the capital.

Chongzhen has no soldiers in his hands, only Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen are the few available people.

Luo Yangxing, the commander of Jinyiwei, also began to swing between civil officials and Chongzhen.

This Luo Yangxing has a crooked butt, and has a close relationship with the Donglin Party.

It wasn't obvious before, but now it's more obvious.

Chongzhen wanted to deal with it, but he had no power and no one in his hands.

People like Zhou Yanru wanted to abandon Chongzhen and go south, but now that Sun Jie didn't attack, if he really did this, he would be infamous forever.

Coupled with the fact that there are honorables who share the same bed with different dreams, Zhou Yanru and the others had to stop first.

All of a sudden, the entire capital presents a very embarrassing and strange calm.

Chongzhen was not idle either. After news of the defeat spread, Zuo Liangyu, a white-armed soldier in Shizhu, was transferred to Cao Bianjiao, who was encircling and suppressing thieves in Huguang and Henan, and Huang Degong and Zhou Yuji, who were encircling and suppressing thieves in Fengyang, Nanzhili, and others went north. Qin Wang.

These people are much stronger than Zuo Liangyu and Wu Sangui, and they have left a strong mark in history.

At normal speed, these people would have arrived no matter what.

Zhou Yanru and the others knew in their hearts that if these people arrived in the capital, it might be the day when they died.

Huang Degong, Zhou Yuji and Cao Bianjiao, these people are loyal to Chongzhen.

With a word from Chongzhen, it is estimated that these people will come up with knives and chop them all.

So, don't let them come back.

Therefore, Zhou Yanru and the others obstructed it and obstructed it in every possible way.

Even after the New Year, these people have not arrived yet.

Now Zhou Yanru and others have to wait for Sun Jie to rebel and then repeat the previous plan.

Originally thought that after the new year, Sun Jie would rebel.

But they never expected that the news of the fire in Sun Jie's backyard unexpectedly came.

Zhou Yanru in the study looked at the news sent from Shaanxi in his hand, with a look of bitterness and hatred.

"Isn't this guy surnamed Sun very powerful? Why can't he even manage his own backyard?

And these gentlemen, why are you rebelling?Can't you hang out with Sun Jie? "

They kept cursing, scolding Sun Jie, scolding the gentry in Shaanxi.

The gentry in Shaanxi said, I also want to hang out with Sun Jie, but he doesn't want it.

Zhou Yanru would still be happy if it was pushed back a few months.

But now, it just feels disgusting.

Don't make troubles early, don't make troubles later, but at this time, isn't this purely obsessive?
