my days with tyrants

Chapter 330

In order to protect Huang Xin and others from being tortured, Zhang Xianzong quickly drafted the imperial decree in the cabinet against the anger of Xie Jin and others. Not only the three of them were dismissed, but Xie Yuan was also demoted to the commander. As for Zheng Ci, of course he was wanted ...

Of course, it meant nothing to him.

Because at this time, he had already gone south and passed the strict pass to enter the control area of ​​the Jianwen court, and was welcomed by the gentry in Guilin like a hero. Even the Emperor Jianwen had already decreed that he was named Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the wanted arrest was only for him. It's just adding a halo to the hero's image.

It can be said that the imperial decree in the capital almost immediately aroused the public outrage of the civil and military systems.

It makes no sense at all!
Regardless of the truth of the matter, the First Huguang Procuratorial Envoy always followed the rules. Since Yang Feng kept saying that he respected the law, Huang Xin was right in the law. This was Yang Feng's own slap in the face.Second, no matter what the truth is, Xue Peng and Li Zhigang never participated. At least Yang Feng couldn't catch them. It can be said that they have nothing to do with this, let alone the unlucky Xie Yuan.It is true that their purpose is not pure, but this kind of thing can only be understood in their hearts, and there is no basis for wanting to put it on the surface, and they have nothing to grasp no matter from the law or the court rules.

What are they doing wrong?
They are right!
What's wrong with impartial law enforcement?

So the only thing that can explain Yang Feng's obviously shameless behavior is that he has become angry from embarrassment, and he just wants to vent his anger and warn the local officials by killing chickens and monkeys, because he ordered Li Xin and Li Xin.

He sent these minions to various places to incite troublemakers to poison the gentry.

He is the real black hand behind the scenes.

This is really unbearable. If those civil and military officials before had such illusory thoughts about him, now they are completely gone with this imperial decree.

No more fantasies about him.

Don't expect him to leave a way for the landlords to survive, let alone to gradually understand that the gentry is the ruler's ally because of his interests. Muddy legs are not, he will not cooperate with the gentry like those holy masters, He would not even win over the gentry like those foreign conquerors, even Zhu Yuanzhang would not do that, he was here to destroy the land gentry class.

then……

Xichuan.

In the crowd of thousands of people, Liu Wen, who has been regarded by the people as the master of Qingtian, is walking in the farmland with his measuring tape...

It's actually a bamboo ruler.

It is Cheng Dawei's measuring scooter.

The bamboo strips are connected with copper wires, and the rolls are wound on the trolley. Although Yang Feng can't make a tape measure and a steel tape measure, this thing is still very easy, and it can be made anywhere, as long as the rulers used are the same length.At this moment, Liu Zhizhou, who has been promoted to Zhizhou, pushed the measuring scooter forward and quickly measured the length and width of the land. The subordinate staff who followed him took notes and then calculated the area of ​​the land.

This is Liu Zhizhou's re-acquisition of the landless land in the counties under the jurisdiction of Dengzhou.

This is already Guantian.

As the magistrate of the state, of course he must know an accurate number.

Of course, he was just setting an example.

Next, each county will have a special Qingzhang team responsible for this work, and he will be surrounded by Qingzhang members selected from Xichuan County.

hired.

In fact, it is preparing to reform the yamen servant system by the way.

After all, in the past, the yamen servants were rotated by ordinary people. This system is obviously inappropriate. Now he hires these Qingzhang members and trains them himself, so these people will listen to him in the future.The magistrate of Xichuan and the old bureaucratic system can be kicked out at any time. As long as a new batch of Jinshi comes out next year, the imperial court will definitely appoint a new county magistrate of Xichuan, and they can come directly to establish a new yamen based on these Qingzhang members.Liu Wen, the first batch of expatriates, wanted to lay the groundwork for future apprentices so that they could quickly complete local control after taking over. Yang Feng wanted to set up demonstration areas in each province first.

This kind of big reform must first mobilize the enthusiasm of the people everywhere.

In addition, new scholars must be allowed to practice.

Therefore, in each province, a similar demonstration area has been set up, so that the common people can see the changes brought about by this reform nearby, and also let those new scholars grow up in the process, and finally the order of the public land law With one click, they were pushed out directly.

Now comes the layout.

But it's not that simple. All local gentry officials will obstruct the sabotage, and even use force to sabotage. Even now Liu Wen is only taking the first step. Although he is the magistrate, every county has magistrates. Not all landlords were involved in the Zhongyishe case.What he can do is to take advantage of the ransacking of the homes of those gentry involved in the Loyalty Society, and quickly establish his own foundation in various counties. At this time, the people around him who regard him as the master of Qingtian are his foundation, supporting his next actions. But of course all this is based on the suffering of others.

"Loyalty Society?

What loyalty, what monarch and minister?
Since ancient times, has there been a baby girl who is the king?
The baby girl is the king, the queen mother is behind the curtain to listen to the government, the princess is in power, the principles are reversed, the yin and yang are transposed, the universe is reversed, the evildoers are rampant, and the country will perish. , killing countless people, so you want to pass it on to your descendants?

The virtuous people in the world live there, what virtue is Zhu's? "

Li Yi, a local scholar, was in the dense forest, looking angrily at the scene on the plain outside.

The reason for his anger is simple.

This measurement is actually his land.

His father joined the Loyalty Society, and died of anger when Liu Wen took the bad guys to ransack his house.

He escaped and hid in Nanyang. His family also has a lot of property in Nanyang. He had been agitating the local gentry to rebel in Nanyang. , not to rebel, and it is the righteousness of the monarch and his ministers. Anyway, Liu Wen is an official of the court, so he just doesn't want to.There were even many people who blamed the Loyalty Society for making a big fuss, which was caused by the Loyalty Society's lack of propriety and excessive behavior. However, after the news of Huang Xin and others' dismissal spread, the Nanyang gentry immediately woke up.

I am too naive!
So the Nanyang gentry immediately changed from unwillingness to help him to full support.

"Boss Ha, it's up to you. As long as you kill this dog official, all the land before your house will be returned to you."

He turned to look at a guy beside him who was obviously a pervert.

"Don't worry, Yang Feng is our mortal enemy, we must kill his subordinates."

Semuren Harding, who was originally a local, said.

He was originally a Nanyang Weibaihu, but when the King of Jin assassinated Yang Feng, his in-laws participated. In order to cover up that it was the King of Jin who assassinated Yang Feng, Zhu Yuanzhang implicated the participating Semu. Fleeing to the mountains, he eventually became a horse bandit.However, his family had contacts with the Nanyang gentry after all. In fact, even if he became a horse bandit, he would mainly do dirty work for the Nanyang gentry. This time he was hired by Li Yi to attack and kill Liu Wen.

"Since this evildoer came to Ming Dynasty, we Han gentry and you have all been persecuted by him. Now we should work together."

Li Yi said.

Harding looked at Liu Wen's figure and smiled coldly, then drew out his knife.

"Come on, kill that green-robed man!"

He used their words to speak to nearly two hundred sex-eyed horse bandits under his command.

Then he urged the horse forward.

Behind him, the Semu horse bandits urged their horses one after another, holding various weapons, swarming out of the woods, galloping across the open plain, making all kinds of strange screams, rushing forward like a group of wild beasts... …

"Kill, kill that dog official, kill all those troublemakers!"

Li Yi roared excitedly from behind.

Liu Wen had already discovered the horse bandits, and immediately the people were in chaos.

however……

"boom!"

Gunshots sounded.

"Why panic, it's just a horse bandit, the military camp is not far away, we'll be there in a while!
This official has allocated the land to you, it is up to you whether you can keep your land. "

Liu Wen, who was holding a short gun, shouted.

The people immediately calmed down.

"follow me!"

After Liu Wen finished speaking, he immediately ran to a rocky hill next to it. Because it was close to the mountains, this place was originally a rock extending from the mountain, and all the stones picked out from the surrounding farmland were piled here, so it formed a rocky hillock.He ran directly to the highest point, and at the same time, those Jinyi guards were also guarding around him, all of them drew their short guns, and the following Qingzhang team members and the people assigned to this piece of farmland all hurriedly followed him, turning their backs on him around the rocky hillock They formed a circle and watched the horse bandits roaring towards them.

"The ones on the inside take off their cotton coats and use them as protection for those on the outside."

Liu Wen shouted.

As he spoke, he was the first to take off his cotton official robe.

It was already winter at this time.

Those brocade guards and the people inside also took off their cotton robes and handed them outside. As for themselves, they were actually carrying shields. These brocade guards followed Liu Wen and were used to going through life and death. They had already realized this. In fact, they still had cotton armor .The people outside immediately covered themselves with layers of cotton-padded clothes. As long as there were two or three layers of cotton-padded clothes, they could basically stop the arrows of the horse bandits, while the young and strong men carrying hoes and other agricultural tools stood in the middle like spearmen. Stretch out your farm implements.

Then directly pick up the stone under your feet.

A dense defensive formation was formed immediately.

"They've all fought wars!"

Liu Wen said unexpectedly.

"Master Qingtian, in Nanyang, there will always be wars between the north and the south, and those who don't know how to fight will not be able to survive."

A middle-aged man said with a smile on his face.

"Who is that man!"

Liu Wen put the binoculars to his eyes, and shouted at Li Yi in front of the dense forest.

"Young master of the Li family, what we cleared is his family's land. When the house was ransacked last time, the master Li who was pissed to death was his father. He is here for revenge. Folks, he is a horse bandit brought by Li Yi. He came back To avenge his father, he came back to grab our land."

The latter shouted immediately.

"Fight them!"

"This dog dares to come back!"

……

The people around were furious.

At this time, the horse bandits brought by Harding had already started shooting arrows in this direction.

The young man in front immediately raised his cotton robe, while the back moved as close as possible.

"put!"

Liu Wen shouted.

Immediately afterwards, the short gun in his hand fired.

This thing has about the same effective aiming range as a cavalry bow.

It's just poor armor-piercing ability.

But the horse bandit has no armor.

With the sound of the gun in his hand, a horse bandit holding a bow and arrow fell from his horse, but the arrows they shot also fell among the people, but the multi-layered cotton clothes in the latter's hands provided a good cover, and most of the arrows fell on the cotton. On the robe, this kind of defense similar to the defense of the city can easily block the arrows. In fact, the real defenders can even block the stones thrown by the trebuchet in this way. Even if some arrows fall on the crowd, because they are all crowded together , The injured were unable to leave, and the dense formation was still maintained.

At the same time, the short guns in the hands of the Jin Yiwei also fired.

The horse bandits fell one after another.

After the Jinyiwei finished their round, they immediately raised their second short guns, and threw them to the Qingzhang team members, who were responsible for loading them, and the young men also began to pick up the stones under their feet, and threw them at the horse bandits.The purpose of the latter was to kill Liu Wen, and this place was not far from Nanyangwei's military camp, so they had to fight quickly. This kind of confrontation was useless at all, and bows and arrows could not shoot muskets after all.Immediately afterwards, Harding personally led the team and began to attack the people, trying to drive them away, but before the horse bandits with spears rushed forward, they faced countless stones flying towards him.

These people are all under their feet.

Throwing stones is a basic skill for shepherds, and it is very accurate at close range.

Several horse bandits in the front were smashed with blood all over their faces, and one fell down screaming.

"Don't panic, keep fighting with them. If they want to take away the fields that are allocated to you, you have to fight them desperately. I can give you the fields, but if you don't want to be taken away again, you have to protect your fields. "

Liu Wen shouted.

At the same time he took out a rocket, and immediately ignited the fuse.

The rocket quickly rushed into the sky with a roar.

"Hold on, Nanyangwei's reinforcements will arrive soon."

he shouted.

Rockets exploded in the sky.

At this time, the first batch of horse bandits who rushed to Luanshigang had already fought with the people. Although their spears had a huge advantage, the latter would not retreat in a deadly battle, and they had no choice. Hold the spear.And the young man with a hoe squeezed in the middle immediately moved forward and planed towards the horse bandit. Although the latter was riding a horse, after being blocked, he really didn't do much good to this kind of hoe. Method.

The horse bandit was being planed on the body again and again, hooked on the body and pulled off.

Then he was crushed to death by a young man holding a stone.

The two sides even showed the momentum of a bloody battle on the battlefield.

And the young man who threw the stone behind was more accurate at such a distance, and almost never missed.

Afterwards, Jin Yiwei's bullets were flawless.

After all, it was only 30 to [-] meters, and this distance could catch up with the lobster soldiers queuing up and shooting them.

"Don't be afraid. Those who died in the battle will receive a pension of two hundred guan, and those who are injured will be exempted from tax for ten years. I am a student of the late emperor, a student taught by the ruling princess and Ambassador Yang. I ask the ruling princess to give you a reward."

Liu Wen shouted.

Then he shot down a horse bandit.

At the same time, an arrow fell on him, but it was blocked by the soft armor inside.

He also has raw silk soft armor on his body, and even has a forged steel carburized plate similar to a bulletproof plate.

The arrow bounced off directly.

However, he looked in the direction of Juntun with some surprise.

Because the rocket that responded there has not yet appeared.
