His body was covered with more than a dozen shotshells. Not to mention being sieved, he died on the spot.
It's a pity that Lai Duxian was honest all his life and even had to grow his own vegetables to make a living. In the end, he died heroically for the Ming Dynasty. Anyway, Zhu Yuanzhang will give him a posthumous gift. In the future, his descendants can bear the brand of Zhongliang.
It can be considered a worthy death.
But his death caused the originally peaceful situation to take a turn for the worse.
"Then what can I do?"
Yang Feng irresponsibly spread his hands and said.
This incident quickly caused commotion across Shanxi...
In fact, the people were very unhappy.
"It's just that, I'm afraid the imperial court won't be able to impose restrictions in Shanxi in the future."
"Ambassador, don't worry, we are just going to arrest you."
But according to the law, it must be paid.
Princess Lu said.
Of course he had thought about this.
After all, as long as you are still in the Ming Dynasty system, these will be very troublesome. You can do whatever you want when you become king. But now it has to be changed to negotiation. So once you return to the Ming Dynasty, will the court settle accounts and cause trouble for these unruly people? No matter what
Whatever was promised during the court negotiations, as long as the management of local officials is restored in the end, it will be difficult to avoid settling accounts after the fall. However, now the river god and Yang Feng have accepted the negotiations, and the emperor's grandson has also shown open-mindedness and generosity, so there is no
It's just a law attack. Now that something like this happened again, of course we took the opportunity to launch an attack. Suddenly, rumors began to spread all over Shanxi, saying that the imperial court was going to send troops to encircle and suppress Shanxi.
It’s very much like a certain era!
"Ambassador, it seems a bit puzzling that your Excellency, with your bravery, has been thwarted by hundreds of unruly people."
The latter refused to pay taxes.
If Yang Feng is really going to end, then the court will definitely lose. After all, he is not alone. There are hundreds of thousands of young people with simple folk customs behind him. At that time, Shanxi will really rebel.
He was not sure whether this was Yang Feng's idea or the emperor's grandson's tacit approval.
In fact, this situation was beyond Yang Feng's expectation. He did do it on purpose. Since those northern civil servants wanted to kill the donkey, he allowed the unruly people to make trouble and let these guys wake up.
"Nonsense, isn't it that I am doing so much to let the people have the power to make their own choices? How can we stop now at the last moment? Not only must we control it, but we must control it to the end."
It doesn't matter.
The emperor's grandson has also grown up and is no longer the easy-to-manipulate young man in the past.
Yang Feng said.
This is nothing unusual in a state of anarchy.
With them here, it's enough to hold on."
In this way, the Daming Shenji Battalion began its first real military operation...
But he is a true emperor.
After all, times are different now.
The emperor's grandson said immediately.
Yang Feng said.
Pull out a village at random, and you can really form a simple army at this time.
They originally followed Heshen and Ambassador Yang with great expectations, wanting to break away from the Ming Dynasty and stand on their own. It didn't matter what the sign was, be it the Song Dynasty or anything else, even Ambassador Yang's Xia Dynasty.
She still worships Buddha in Luoyang. There are so many temples in Luoyang that it takes half a year to do so.
In this case, let them do whatever they want!
He can reform the economy and accept new ideas, but the fundamental principles of imperial power will not change. The emperor will not allow the people to resist the imperial power. The emperor must be unconditionally obeyed by the people. It is treason for the people to kill officials.
but……
It just so happens that the Shenji Battalion is here, let’s test the actual combat of the Shenji Battalion.”
There are only a few thousand mobs. Even if we have the pass in hand, how can we still stop my army?
"This is an opportunity."
Xie Cheng said.
Princess Lu said.
Xie Cheng said.
In the later period of Guangxi, a province could not afford to support the Jingjiang Prince's Palace, so it required financial transfers from Huguang and Guangdong every year. In addition to the fact that the Jingjiang Prince could give birth to thousands of people receiving salaries, another reason was that there were too many chieftains there, and they would not pay taxes in the future.
not enough.
Yang Feng finally gave a reminder.
However, Xie himself didn’t want to expand it. He was very aware of the situation in Shanxi and knew the consequences of expansion. The incident itself was just an accident. He didn’t understand why he had to take care of such a trivial matter and let the unscrupulous people blame themselves.
Isn't mass killing bad? This was Lai Gong's suggestion, and it was also Lai Gong who approached Yang Feng. Because of a series of previous conspiracies, Lai Gong was trusted by the Emperor Taisun, so after he proposed it, the Emperor Taisun immediately complied with it.
.
He was rescued by Wang Qianhu. His injuries were not serious, but he was lame in one leg.
Now that he himself was beaten to death, it was his own fault.
Princess Lu said.
In fact, not only Annan, but also Gu Cheng was also conquering Shuixi in Guizhou at this time.
"Actually, the matter can be easily solved. As long as your majesty declares to the world that no matter whether the people of Shanxi return to the Ming Dynasty or the Song Dynasty, all previous incidents will be forgotten. In addition, the river god's promise of equalizing farmland and freeing grain, and dividing land among military households will all be fulfilled. With such an imperial edict,
The people of Shanxi were naturally relieved. As for their firearms, of course there was no need to confiscate them. Shanxi was close to the border, and some folk firearms were also convenient for defending against barbarians.
If you want the emperor to meet your requirements, you must have the strength to make him truly value your requirements.
As long as we can break away from the Ming Dynasty, we can then start to equalize land and eliminate grain, engage in industry and commerce, etc.
Xie Cheng looked at the emperor's grandson.
The emperor's grandson must ultimately stand from the perspective of imperial power.
"This is easy. I have a slave under my command, and his brother is in Ningshan Guard. You take him to find his brother and then incite the military household. You are good at this."
After all, at this time, the heads of several cities had already been obtained by the village sages.
"What do you care about those unruly people?"
After all, rights have to be fought for.
Of course Zhao Zhizhou is back.
This really needs to be avoided.
Poor Yongping Hou didn't understand that this was just a show of loyalty to the emperor in return. What he wanted was to intensify the conflict, and then use the heads of the unruly people to show loyalty to the emperor to make up for the bad impression left by his previous behavior in the emperor's heart.
.
He was the commander of the Shanxi capital in the past. He knew Shanxi better than Yang Feng, and he also knew that it would not be easy to end if it really caused a big trouble. Originally, he thought that with Yang Feng's presence, those unruly people would give him face no matter what, but
I didn’t expect that Yang Feng’s face was not easy to use!
If the court surrenders now, how will it manage the place in the future?
At this time, even if the armies from all walks of life are not pressed forward to invade Shanxi, at least the unruly people who killed Lai Duxian must be arrested to teach these unruly people a lesson. What's more, if they return to the Ming Dynasty, they must abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty.
The law allows people to hold bows, crossbows and swords, but they are not allowed to hold firearms, and firearms must be confiscated everywhere."
One was hacked to death.
"What's the meaning?"
It was just an accident.
We have to fight eventually.
"Then open the patio gate.
Therefore, the leaders of several cities in Zezhou immediately gathered together and made a decision. They quickly organized thousands of young and strong coalition forces to blockade Tianjing Pass.
After all, the gentry didn't pay any respect to each other, so we couldn't expect the chieftains to be more honest than the gentry.
As for those who dare not to hand it over now, they will be expropriated directly by force.
There was a high level of unruly people among the people, and there seemed to be only a few obedient people. Likewise, the organization of the unruly people was beyond his imagination. It could almost be said that some people could immediately complete the organization in an orderly manner, and could even quickly form a coalition through meetings...
…
"Then what if they don't let go of Tianjing Pass and stop you from arresting people?"
Indeed, he had to ask Shen Jiying to lose.
only……
Look, in order to protect Shanxi for His Majesty the Emperor, not only the gentry are fighting with their lives against the unruly people, but even officials like Lai Duxian are willing to sacrifice their lives to repay the Emperor's favor. We are all so loyal, Your Majesty the Emperor, you have forgotten us.
Although we did use some tricks in the past, we are still pure and kind in nature, and our loyalty to you has always been the same.
Sure enough, this woman is bad!
"But how can I mobilize them? Although they have been sitting back and watching, if they really want to participate, it would be equivalent to rebellion. They are still loyal to your father-in-law."
To kill the donkey?
Do you think a donkey can't kick a child?
However, the current development of the situation seems to be more than just a case of embarrassment.
"I'm afraid the militia is not good enough. Even if the folk customs of Zezhou are strong, they still can't compare with Shenji Camp."
So they are naturally relieved.”
Pooh!
Ambassador Yang will not let them get their wish.
Yang Feng said.
"As the Zhu family's daughter-in-law, is it appropriate for you to tear down the Zhu family's platform like this?"
Yang Feng looked at the emperor's grandson with some emotion.
If the Shenji Camp opens the Tianjing Pass, it means that the imperial court can still easily suppress the unruly people, and it will be difficult for Zhu Yuanzhang to give in. After all, equalizing the land is exempted from grain, and military households are divided into land, which means that he can easily agree to equalize the land.
He must be forced to agree to the remaining grain exemptions and land distribution for military households. If the Shanxi people can hold Tianjing Pass and let him know that it will be very costly to pay for it, then he can seriously consider the people's demands. If the Shenji Battalion can easily win
Tianjingguan, that means that the militiamen are just a bunch of people after all, he can just spend them casually, there is no need to give too much.
"Yongping Marquis, what do you want me to do? No matter they are the people of the Ming Dynasty or the Song Dynasty, they are still the people of my friendly country in Daxia. Do you want me to kill the people of my friendly country? In fact, there is nothing wrong with what they said.
The relationship between the two parties is now undecided. No matter what happens, at least for now, Daming should not intervene. What's more, Zhao Zhizhou keeps saying that after Shanxi returns to Ming Dynasty, he will settle accounts with others. If he has said so, can they still choose Daming?
"
It’s just the river god who appears again!
Sure enough, this generation that has experienced the turbulent times of mountains of corpses and seas of blood is different!
"Let the military households of Ningshan Guard replace them. This time, the military households actually want to divide the land. After all, even if the civilian households are exempted from food, they will only receive one-twentieth more grain in a year, but the military households can earn more in a year.
Thirty-four percent. The military households of Ningshan Guard selected a thousand elites and mixed them with the young men of Tianjingguan.
"I have to explain first that it is okay to just force through the pass to arrest, but troops from other directions cannot cross the border, otherwise it will not end well."
I'm afraid they won't cherish the fruits of victory without bloodshed. In the final analysis, the people of Shanxi this time are purely pie-in-the-sky good things. In this case, let them understand that there are really no good things like pie-in-the-sky pie in the sky. If they want to get it,
If you have rights, you have to fight for them yourself.
Xie Cheng said.
so……
Of course, he understands the meaning of a bad ending.
The problem is that although the military households want to divide the land, they are also loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang. They can sit back and watch the people riot, but letting them participate or even fight the same Ming army is psychologically difficult. Of course, this is not to say that it can't be done.
, after all, within a few years, military households from the north and the south would be able to bleed into rivers of blood on the battlefield, but the key to this kind of thing is to have a leader.
During this period, several people objected.
Yang Feng said.
Now we are crying about the lawlessness of the unruly people, advocating that the imperial court should make a decisive decision and send troops into Shanxi to forcibly collect weapons. Even if they do not collect cold weapons, they must also collect firearms.
"Congratulations to your great grandson.
Princess Lu said dissatisfied.
In the Ming Dynasty, the chieftains all had to pay taxes. It was just a tax package system. The chieftains paid a total amount, and there were also fixed tributes given directly to the emperor. However, Jisi Guards did not pay taxes, but they had the same fixed tributes.
, the chieftains paid taxes. As for the chieftains in the late Ming Dynasty, the reason why they did not pay taxes was because the court did not have the ability to go to them to collect it.
The emperor's grandson said hesitantly.
Yang Feng said.
"Ha, I was in my prime years in my twenties, but I was buried in the grave by the Zhu family. I have to be their widow for the rest of my life. The Zhu family owes me, so can't I find some fun from the Zhu family?
"
Just like those salt merchants and store clerks back then knew how to coordinate tactics.
Princess Lu immediately changed her stance and said.
Moreover, the civil officials were also filled with righteous indignation and petitioned for a solution by force.
What's more, if the Shenji Camp can easily open the Tianjing Pass, the person who planned this will be satisfied. The Shenji Camp will arrest those unruly people and chop off their heads, and the emperor will also feel the pain from those heads.
To the loyalty of northern civil servants or northern gentry to him.
Yang Feng said.
Xie Cheng said.
After all, it is unrealistic to expect that this kind of matter can be resolved peacefully.
In fact, if the imperial court really threatens them, they will be honest. For example, when they were fighting against Yang Yinglong, when faced with the sudden influx of troops, the Shuixi'an family would be honest.
Yes, the other chieftains must have surrendered as well, but when the army finished the battle and withdrew, he refused to surrender again.
So the few remaining village sages became honest.
Yang Feng said.
Xie Cheng immediately understood that this was what Yang Feng wanted to do.
If the people of Shanxi win, then defend their rights. If the court wins, then force them to accept the will of the court and control the rhythm. A small-scale conflict is acceptable, as long as it does not develop into a real war. But it is not too serious.
There might really be a fight. After all, Annan was still fighting at this time. The King of Chu had an army of 300,000, not counting the civilians who were transporting him. Although he was making good progress and was said to be marching to Hanoi, it was difficult for a place like Annan to receive troops.
There are still problems that need to be solved. Lao Zhu actually does not have enough troops to deal with a province with a population of two million.
Now it is not whether His Majesty has told the world, but the Emperor Taisun has given them a chance by allowing them to make a new choice. If they were truly grateful for the Emperor's kindness, how could they worry about this? Would the Emperor Taisun care about the past with them?
After all, these unscrupulous people are still wild-minded.
