Chapter 324: Blackmailing, right?(1/2)
The Gongun princes, who were sure they could no longer bear it, calmed down.
Even if we fight, we can't do it in the capital.
After all, he can't beat Yang Feng.
On the contrary, they are still adding fuel to the flames, publicizing the public land law with great fanfare, making it seem as if it will be implemented immediately.
Then the gentry everywhere went crazy.
After receiving the news, a group of old men over eighty years old went into battle in person, and were carried by their children and grandchildren to the Tiexuan family ancestral hall. A barrel of gunpowder was directly stuffed into it, and amidst the explosion, they all trembled and dug with their hoe.
During this period, a fellow villager Xian died on the ancestral grave of Tie Xuan's family because he was so angry and exhausted that he couldn't take a breath.
Poor Tie family, who was originally one of the most famous families in the area, could only close the door and hide in the face of such public outrage.
As for local officials…
What can they do?
They are all old men over eighty years old, and they are not plotting rebellion or committing murder. They cannot be arrested or tried.
It really can't be judged.
Who is guilty at this age?
Of course, we can only sit back and watch the Tie family's misfortune.
Besides, Dengzhou Zhizhou had already resigned, and now he is just acting as Tongzhi.
Then the next day, the gentry from the nearby prefectures and counties also charged into the battle with old men in their eighties. They digged up the Tie family's ancestral grave again, smashed even the bones and debris, and even poured feces into it as if to vent their anger.
.
As for the Tie family...
The Tie family was attacked by robbers the night before.
I don’t know where it came from. Anyway, bandits broke into his house at night and not only killed more than a dozen people but also lit a fire. Fortunately, due to their family background, they still had some brothers from the same family in Dengzhou who they could rely on, so
Part of them escaped. But by the next day, these brothers did not dare to take them in, so they had to abandon their homes and flee to Jinan, and they kept their names anonymous in order to keep it secret. However, this was of no use, because along the way the gentry all sharpened their knives, and eventually the whole
The total number of clan members who have fled to Jinan is less than ten.
Of course, the tragedy of the Tie family was caused by his loyalty. Her Majesty the Queen will not let the tears of loyal ministers flow in vain.
So I continued to promote him.
However, at this time, the provincial level recognized the Chief Envoy, and the Chief Envoy was already the highest.
Ambassador Yang suggested that each government official's department should add an official position to oversee the overall situation, so that local affairs can be handled more efficiently. Moreover, this official position should preferably have the ability to make emergency decisions and even mobilize the army when necessary.
Just call the governor!
Not counting local officials.
Instead, he served as a foreign mission of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, overseeing the local area on behalf of the Imperial Censor.
Of course, Shang Fang's sword definitely doesn't have it.
But for the crimes of local officials, including generals of the guard, as long as the evidence is solid, they can be arrested first and then reported. In order to ensure that the governor can do this, the governor can be assigned a police standard of 300 soldiers. Of course, these soldiers are from the gods.
The machine battalion was transferred there. As for the three hundred divine machine battalions, except for the orders from the capital, only the local governor could mobilize them.
This proposal immediately became an imperial edict, so Tie Xuan was promoted from the Chief Envoy of Shandong to the right deputy censor of Shandong Province, and had the power to arrest Shandong military and political officials first and report later.
As soon as the imperial edict came out, the world looked at it with suspicion.
What a holy blessing this is!
It has reached the point where a separate official position has been established for him.
This was all in exchange for his memorials that brought disaster to the world.
Traitor!
The traitor who brought disaster to the country!
It can be said that every promotion and every honor he received was obtained by betraying the gentry. Therefore, the local gentry who had nowhere to vent their anger had no choice but to continue digging at his ancestral grave. Unfortunately, the Tie family's ancestral grave is like a sacred place for internet celebrities to check in.
There is an endless stream of gentry from all over the place who go there every day, and some even make a special trip from Huguang.
It didn't take long before all that was left was a puddle.
Moreover, the Shandong gentry even tried to assassinate him, so it is really necessary to look at the Three Hundred Fubiao Shenji Camp in this way, otherwise even if he could escape once, he would not be able to escape the continuous assassinations of the gentry. But he escaped, he
But it was difficult for his family to escape. One of his sons was accidentally shot to death with a poisonous arrow when he went out, and one of his daughters was kidnapped and then disappeared. It was rumored that she was sold to a merchant ship.
However, he was promoted again.
In order to make up for the pain of losing his son, the eldest princess of Hanshan gave him the title of Prince Young Master.
This then led to the escalation of revenge against him by the Henan gentry...
"This is a bit troublesome!"
Yang Feng looked at the urgent report in front of him with a pure face.
Si, the Chief Envoy of Henan Province, urgently reported that the gentry in Dengzhou and several surrounding counties and counties had conflicts with his brothers because of Tiexuan's incident, and a fight broke out in Dengzhou. There were also gentrymen in several other counties and counties.
There was a large-scale fighting, and the local gentry was uniting to expel his brothers. Although the latter resisted vigorously, they were ultimately outnumbered.
It has caused hundreds of casualties so far.
And the fighting is still spreading.
It has even spread to the whole of Henan.
"Ambassador, what's the trouble? If there is a local fight, just transfer the guard station to suppress it."
Zhang Xianzong said calmly.
Based on his understanding of Yang Feng, he knew clearly that Tie Xuan was actually cheated by Yang Feng.
The more Tie Xuan is promoted, the more the gentry will be stimulated to retaliate against his clan. After his clan is completely retaliated against, the targetless gentry will have nowhere to vent their anger, and it will inevitably spread outward. In the final analysis, the difference between them and the local gentry is
There was already a conflict between the two countries, and now the angry local gentry took this opportunity to expel them. Originally, this problem could have been easily solved, as long as the troops were dispatched to capture a few of the gentry and shock them when they were digging their ancestral graves. Henan
It's not like the gentry in places like Jiangxi and Zhejiang are strong. The current population of Henan will not give the gentry much power. After all, their population is not as good as that of Shanxi.
But Yang Feng didn't.
He ignored what happened in Dengzhou and just promoted Tie Xuan.
While letting those gentry persecute his clan.
While promoting him, he stimulated the anger of the gentry.
This is just to kill him!
Now it seems obvious that they are not just trying to kill him, but his entire group.
"That would be making a fuss out of a molehill. This kind of thing is the business of the Chief Envoy and the Inspector General, not bandits. Rebellion and the like require the command of the Envoy. It's just civil war. It's not commonplace. It happens everywhere. Let's do it.
Let the Metropolitan Procuratorate select a censor, even an imperial envoy, and ask him to go to Dengzhou to comfort him. I remember there is a man named Liu Shi'e, so let him go and comfort him!"
Yang Feng said.
Be comforted!
This guy is from Shanyin, Zhejiang Province.
Now all the Confucian families in eastern Zhejiang regard Guangzhou as the city of light.
After all, overseas trade was allowed there, and Confucian scholars were respected.
For the gentry in eastern Zhejiang, one of them is enough to be considered a holy lord and wise king, not to mention having both. As long as an official from the eastern Zhejiang area is asked to pacify him, he guarantees that the more he pacifies, the less chaos he will have.
Zhang Xianzong didn't say anything more. Yang Feng's real purpose was already obvious. There was no need for him to waste his words on this. Besides, he was not interested in caring about the victims. With the fighting power of the Henan gentry, it was not impossible to solve this problem. Although
He really couldn't figure out what purpose Tie Xuan had in submitting that memorial, but from the moment he submitted that memorial, he was already a public enemy of the gentry, and what he was encountering now was just inevitable.
Public land law!
Doesn’t this drive the world’s gentry crazy?
He and Tie Xuan were old acquaintances, and he really didn't expect Tie Xuan to be so brave. More importantly, Tie Xuan's family were also landlords. With the landlord giving such a memorial, this was more than just bravery.
Simply amazing.
"Let the rumor spread that Tie Xuan has been approved. Please use Dengzhou as a pilot for the public land law and implement it throughout Henan within three years."
Yang Feng lay at the window and looked at Zhang Xianzong's back, and then said to the little princess.
"Looking at what happened in Dengzhou, I'm afraid these gentry really won't back down."
said the little princess.
"It is impossible to retreat. There is no room for retreat in this kind of thing. This is a war."
Yang Feng said.
This was just the beginning. He had to continue to stimulate the gentry until they could no longer bear it and truly raised the flag to resist him.
And at this moment.
To be continued...
