Because what Zhao Han said was the reason for his usual depression!
He knew that the court was hopeless, and he knew the crux of the matter, but he had nothing to do about it.
Historically, this person was a Jinshi in Chongzhen for ten years and was released as the prefect of Jiangdu County. He resisted the pressure of the court and did not raise taxes or collect salaries from the people.They also organized the construction of dams and the excavation of canals.Clean up the accumulated cases in the county and try to eliminate unjust prisons.Later, he was transferred to Hua County, and used gentle means to make tens of thousands of thieves (refugees who had become bandits) surrender, and allocated land to these refugees for farming.
Chongzhen hanged himself, Ouyang Zheng followed suit, was rescued by his colleagues, and fell seriously ill.
In the same year, Ouyang Zheng surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.During the presiding of the Henan Provincial Examination, some candidates wrote "Uncle Emperor Dorgon" as "Uncle Wang Dorgon", and Ouyang Zheng was implicated and sent to prison. This was also the first literary inquisition in the Qing Dynasty.
This is a very typical traditional civil servant, born as a child prodigy, full of ambition when he was young, and protected the environment and the people when he was an official.He also followed Chongzhen to commit suicide. After dying once, he began to cherish his life, and surrendered to the foreign bandits without any psychological burden.
Zhao Han didn't talk to the scholars anymore, and when he left, he suddenly said: "Tie that madman away, let him see how I govern the people!"
Ouyang Zheng still wanted to struggle, but was directly pressed to the ground by the soldiers, and was led away from Bailuzhou with five flowers.
on the ferry.
Xiao Huan said with a smile: "Brother Xianwen, don't be afraid, Mr. Zhao will not kill people easily."
Ouyang Zheng's hands and feet were all bound, and he glared at Xiao Huan and said, "You are a scholar in vain, and you have turned to a traitor!"
Xiao Huan said with emotion: "I'm not like you. I have a prominent family background and can take the imperial examination without any worries. In order to treat my father's illness, I had to bite the bullet and borrow loan sharks, and was forced to be a lawsuit against the Daxing Bank. Tell me , I have become a bull and horse in the fight, so what is so strange about surrendering to the rebels?"
"You have no scholarly integrity, you should be damned!" Ouyang Zheng said contemptuously.
Xiao Huan turned into a playful smile again: "If I had integrity, I would have starved to death long ago, how can I still talk to you today?"
Ouyang Zheng said: "If I were you, I would jump into the Gan River and die!"
Xiao Huan sneered and said: "It doesn't matter if you die, there are plenty of people to take care of your parents. But if I die, leave my mother and you will take care of me? Orphan and widow mother, you will take care of me? You are a son of a family, it's easy to say!"
Ouyang Zheng was speechless and thought that filial piety was involved here, so he shouldn't talk about it casually.
Xiao Huan pointed to the south of the city wharf: "Look there, the market has recovered, and the escaped merchant ships have returned to load. Have you ever seen such a rebel?"
Ouyang Zheng struggled to sit up, and sure enough, he saw that the bustling dock was still there.
With a look of horror on his face, he regarded Zhao Han as a serious threat to the imperial court.To be able to capture Fucheng without looting, but to quickly restore order, is no ordinary rebel!
Zhao Han is standing at the bow of the boat, observing the situation at the pier.
Xiao Huan pointed at Zhao Han and said in a low voice, "Brother Xianwen, this is the hero, can you believe it?"
"This is a bandit!" Ouyang Zheng was still stubborn.
"Pedantic," Xiao Huan said contemptuously, "the current imperial court is already about to collapse. You idiots, how short-sighted, will be crushed to death by the collapsed old buildings sooner or later. In time, my lord will sweep away the universe and rebuild that Langlang Universe!"
Ouyang Zheng sneered: "You still want to be the founding prime minister? I'm afraid you will be punished for your meritorious service!"
Xiao Huan said cheerfully, "Don't even think about using any divisive schemes. If you can be the hero of the founding of the country, so what if you are punished by the nine clans? At least I have a good reputation. Isn't it a hundred times better than a lawsuit stick?"
"A rebel! Crazy!" Ouyang Zheng cursed.
Xiao Huan asked back: "Who in the world is not crazy?"
While the two were talking, there was a commotion outside Nancheng.
However, Chen Maosheng had already entered the city, and with his political workers, he went door-to-door to spread the idea of Datong, and many unsuspecting domestic slaves eagerly joined the army.
By the way, beat up the old master!
Chapter 112 [Zero Casualties, Break Ten Thousand Thieves]
There are many famous families in Ji'an Prefecture, but which surname has the most people?
Liu Shi.
Liu Fa, the son of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty and King Ding of Changsha, had sixteen sons in total, one of whom was granted the title of Marquis of Ancheng, who governed Anfu, Yongxin, Taihe and other counties.
It has been multiplied from generation to generation, and it has spread all over Ji'an counties, and even the whole of Jiangxi.
There are thousands of villages in Ji'an, and the entire village is named Liu!
At this very moment, Chen Maosheng was in the home of a Liu family in Jizhou Tang—the head clan and ancestral house of the rich family. He would definitely not be in the city, because the city simply couldn't accommodate him.
The family was engaged in business, so they moved to the city to settle down, but they also had land in the countryside.
"Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, spare your life!"
They thought Chen Maosheng was here to rob, so they knelt down on the ground.He even offered to offer goods and food, just to satisfy the appetite of the rebels, hoping that the rebels would not kill people.
Chen Maosheng said: "Mr. Zhao founded the Datong Association. What is Datong? In the countryside, Datong means that everyone has land to cultivate, everyone has food to eat, and everyone has clothes to wear. There are no farmers in the city, but there are many domestic slaves in the city. ..."
"Datong has no high or low. Gentlemen and merchants are human beings, but servants are not human? Under Mr. Zhao's rule, there are no domestic slaves, and all domestic slaves have been released. We don't want money, we don't want food. Datong is for the poor. Yes, you quickly bring the bond of sale of the house slaves!"
Liu Dingzhong stared stupidly at these rebels, thinking for a moment that he had heard wrong.
The rebels don't want gold, silver, or food, so they come to free the slaves?
"Hurry up, bring the slave's deed of sale, I'm going to leave the family!" Chen Maosheng scolded angrily.
Liu Dingzhong trembled in fright, and quickly said, "I...I'll get it right away."
Before the deed of sale came to the scene, Chen Maosheng continued to promote: "Brothers and sisters of house slaves, don't be afraid. To tell you the truth, Mr. Zhao was also a house slave before..."
"boom!"
There was an uproar in the courtyard, and the house slaves were inexplicably shocked. The bandit leader who occupied Fucheng this time was actually a house slave!
Shocked, but also a little excited.
Chen Maosheng also said: "Mr. Zhao is a domestic slave, I used to be an actor, and we are all sluts. But who in the world is not a slut? Tenants are tenant slaves, farmers are serfs, workers are hired slaves, and soldiers are military slaves. Just Don’t even those scholars serve as slaves? When you become an official, you are an official slave, and when you take the imperial examination, you are a scholar slave. Who can be more noble than whom?”
"Those who are willing to go with us will be brothers and sisters in the future. If you want to farm and share the land for you, if you want to do labor to find jobs for you. No one dares to bully you, no one dares to beat or scold you, you are your own masters. Look at the person behind me, Chen Huai, what did you do before?"
"actor."
"Liu Zhenzong, what did you do before?"
"Hey, I'm Master Liu's slave in Meitang Town."
"Liu Gao, what did you do before?"
"I am the slave of Master Liu in Baisha Town."
"Xiao Zhong, what did you do before?"
"I am the slave of Master Xiao in Huangqiao Town."
"Are you all full now?"
"Satisfy every meal."
"Does anyone dare to beat and scold you?"
"Fuck you!"
"..."
Looking at the majestic Chen Maosheng and his men, many slaves began to envy them.
Whether a domestic slave is doing well or not depends purely on the character of the master, and this is often the most unreliable thing.
Take Xu Xiake as an example, he is quite friendly to the slaves, but who else?One of Xu Xiake's sons was later killed by a domestic slave riot.
When the small imperial court of the Southern Ming Dynasty fought against the Qing Dynasty, countless house slaves rose up. They would rather take refuge in the Qing Dynasty than overthrow their masters!
Historically, the bandits from Shaanxi only attacked Huguang, and domestic slaves in various provinces in the south of the Yangtze River rioted one after another.
Daming is full of gunpowder kegs, which will explode at the slightest spark.
Finally, Liu Dingzhong found the contract of selling his slaves, and offered it to Chen Maosheng with great care.
Chen Maosheng read the names one by one, and after reading, he asked: "Who else's deeds have not been brought?"
"I!"
A house slave stood up: "My body deed is not here."
Chen Maosheng smiled and said, "Master Liu, you are dishonest."
"Look, look for it right away, it must be a leak!" Liu Dingzhong said hastily.
Not long after, several identity deeds were sent.
Chen Maosheng burned all the deeds of prostitution in public, and said to the slaves: "Who wants to go with me? Don't be angry with the master anymore!"
Three people stood up one after another.
Chen Maosheng said: "Have you ever been deducted monthly money?"
"Every month was deducted." A house slave said.
Chen Maosheng pointed to the money on the ground: "Take back your embezzled things, don't take too much indiscriminately."
The three house slaves immediately went to get the silver, and only dared to take two or three taels more.
Seeing this, several house slaves came out and stood behind Chen Maosheng with silver.
Among them was a pair of brothers and sisters, the elder brother was twelve or thirteen years old, and the younger sister was only seven or eight years old.
"The rest don't want to go?"
Chen Maosheng glanced at him: "You don't have to leave, you are all hard-working brothers and sisters, and I will help you exchange your physical contracts for employment contracts."
Re-signing the contract on the spot, this thing is definitely useless, the owner will turn his face and deny it when he turns around.
However, as long as the master refuses to accept the account, the house slave must have resentment.
Chen Maosheng took the eight liberated slaves and immediately went to the next house, but he really didn't want to grab money and food.
Liu Dingzhong sat on the ground stupidly, looking at the money and food around him, looking at the domestic slaves around him, feeling absurdly dreaming.
After running around all the mansions in the south of the city, Chen Maosheng took away a total of 51 house slaves. Most of the house slaves still refused to leave their masters, even though they would still be abused and scolded in the future.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Maosheng recruited more than ten actors.
He even went to the brothel, and six prostitutes were willing to go with him, and there were as many as nine turtle men who actively followed—Chen Maosheng and those turtle men were all cuckold lovers!
Zhang Tieniu went to the wharf to recruit people, recruited more than 20 coolies, and took away more than 70 coolie family members.
The two scholars, Xiao Huan and Ouyang Zheng, looked at those house slaves, coolies, prostitutes and tortoises with strange expressions on their faces.
Ouyang Zheng sneered disdainfully: "Your hero, rely on these people to conquer the world?"
"Oh," Xiao Huan sighed with emotion, "Mr. is truly a man of gods. In the whole world, who would look down on lowly people? Save them, sir, and they will definitely follow them to the death."
At this time, countless people rushed to tell each other, and ran to join the army in groups.
These people are a special group, and almost form a class in Ming Dynasty.
Nomad class!
A large number of farmers who lost their land poured into the cities to work for a living.They are escaped peasants in the countryside, and homeless in the city, and can only do some very menial jobs.Some also joined the trade, some became street vendors, most of them worked as coolies, and many became beggars.
You can understand it as the Ming Dynasty version of migrant workers, and these migrant workers do not have ID cards.
Zhang Tieniu recruited coolies at the wharf. The news spread quickly, and countless homeless people flocked to join the army. They were also real proletarians, and many of them were bachelors without family members.
Zhao Han was shocked, there were more than 2000 people who joined the army!
……
Anfu County.
The mob in the north of Heshui turned into rogues, and they crossed mountains and ridges to Anfu County, engulfing tens of thousands of people along the way!
There are so many people, the leader of the bandits forgot his surname and went to attack the county.
Well, not demented either.
Under normal circumstances, let alone tens of thousands of people, thousands of people can take down the county.
But the governor ran fast by boat, led the troops first and arrived first, and had already rushed to camp outside the county seat.
The scout learned that there were thieves who had thrown themselves into the net, and Xie Xuelong immediately let the ship go elsewhere.He led 1000 people into the city to hide, and sent 500 people to hide in Menggang Ridge, and another [-] people to ambush in the woods southwest of the county seat.
The leader of the thieves, "Zhen Luo Xiao", didn't even know he had dispatched a spy, so he foolishly brought tens of thousands of people to attack the city.
"Kill the thief!"
Suddenly, drums sounded from the city tower, Xie Xuelong unfurled his handsome flag, and thousands of township braves and yamen servants raised countless flags.
Zhen Luoxiao was inexplicably terrified, and shouted in fear: "There is an ambush, retreat quickly!"
Tens of thousands of thieves retreated in panic, and Xie Xuelong led his soldiers out of the city to chase them. The thieves were so frightened that they even threw away their food.
