Chapter 556 0551 [Shaving hair to change orders]

Shi Yuangong hurried towards the Generalissimo's Mansion. When he saw it, the guards guarding the gate immediately saluted and did not make any move to stop him.

After walking through the hallway and walking outside Ju Ming's office, the guard on duty said, "Mr. Shi, please wait a moment. I'll go in and report immediately."

Shi Yuangong said: "I have something important to report."

When the guards on duty heard this, they didn't even bother to report him, and put him in directly, and the eunuchs took him to see Ju Ming.

Ju Ming put down his brush and asked: "Where can I report urgently?"

Shi Yuangong smiled and said: "Your Highness, what a happy event! The gold master Wu Qimai ordered that all the people in the north must shave their hair and change their clothes. The original text of the decree is as follows: Now that everyone has returned to this dynasty, it is appropriate to follow the customs and also to be shaved.

If you remove your hair and wear a short scarf with the left fold on the left side, if you dare to violate the law, you will be nostalgic for the country, and you will be punished according to the law. You must not miss it."

Ju Ming sighed: "It is indeed a great joy for me, Daming."

Shi Yuangong said: "In the northern Pseudo Song Dynasty, everyone shaves their hair and obeys orders. Recently, a large number of Han people have fled south, and Jin soldiers and Pseudo Song soldiers are arresting them everywhere."

Ju Ming couldn't help but sign an order from the generalissimo: "We order the troops in Hebei, Shandong, and Shanxi to try their best to support the people going south."

Immediately afterwards, as a privy envoy, he wrote a brief note: "I would like to request the Ministry of Household Affairs to mobilize all kinds of materials to move northward. Officials from the three provinces of Hebei, Shandong, and Shanxi should also make every effort to resettle the people who moved south. This note is sent directly to the emperor.

, just let the cabinet know."

Shi Yuangong said: "The Kingdom of Jin is extirpating itself from the Han people!"

"Whether self-determination depends on the people depends on whether the southern Han people can fight." Ju Ming said.

Since the Southern Song Dynasty was not allowed to fight in history, although the hair-cutting order caused the northern Han people to flee southward, it actually did no harm to the Jin Kingdom.

Moreover, the execution capabilities of Pseuchu Chu and Pseudo Qi are so bad that they cannot be implemented at all in many places.

It was not until Wanyan Liang succeeded to the throne that he announced that people north of the Yellow River must shave their hair and change clothes, while Han people south of the Yellow River could keep their original customs.

In the late Jin Kingdom, even the emperor and nobles of the Jin Kingdom did not shave their heads...

Ju Ming thought for a moment and said, "Call Fu Zhirou."

Fu Bi's grandson Fu Zhirou, now Ju Ming's pen holder, immediately ran from the next room when he heard the summons.

Zhu Ming briefly summarized the situation and said: "You should write an article that is easy to understand and emotional, telling the gentry and common people about the cruelty of the Jin people. Let's say that the Jin people burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil in the north. Now it is even more...

He shaved his hair and changed his clothes. Even the statue of Confucius had his hair left unknotted. Don't worry, you can't even imagine how cruel the Jin people were. You can ask Ma Kuo when he arrives in Beijing."

"Yes!" Fu Zhirou bowed his hands and began to think about this article asking for colorful black.

Confucius was really "shaving his hair to change his clothes". By the middle of the Southern Song Dynasty, most of the statues of Confucius in various places in the north looked like he had his hair left unknotted.

A detailed explanation of the Jin people's rebellious behavior is "Yanyun Lu" written by Zhao Zidi.

This man was both a clan member and the Prime Minister of Honglu Temple. He was taken to Yanshan and lived there for several years. He brought back the news that Song Huizong and others were escorted to Five Kingdoms City.

It was also said that more than 80% of the more than 1,800 clan members and in-laws had died during the few years they lived in Yanshan, and less than 400 of them had died when they were taken to Five Kingdoms City.

Moreover, this person also brought back a large amount of information about the Kingdom of Jin.

In this time and space, Zhao Zidi was not arrested. Although he had clan status, he still obtained an official position in the Ming Dynasty and was thrown to Shandong as a county magistrate.



After the military city of Pingding was captured by the Jin soldiers, the defenders Zhao Bangjie and Ma Kuo had been fighting guerrillas in the Taihang Mountains.

Zhang Guangdao led his army to recapture Shouyang, and the two men immediately led their troops out of the mountains and returned to their country.

The imperial court has given instructions that Zhao Bangjie, a military officer of the old Song Dynasty, was transferred to the military attaché of the Ming Dynasty and promoted to two ranks because of his heroic service in fighting against the Jin Dynasty. He and his troops were temporarily staying in Shouyang County to undergo reorganization.

Ma Kuo must return to Beijing immediately!

After crossing the pontoon bridge on the Yellow River, with business travelers crossing the river in front and behind, Ma Kuo looked at Tokyo in the distance and felt infinite emotion in his heart.

He just went to the north for a walk, and when he came back he had changed his dynasty, but he didn't know what happened to his wife and children.

After crossing the river in Chenqiao Town, Ma Kuo traveled south for a while and finally came to the Guangji River.

Ships traveling between Tokyo and Shandong sail slowly in the Guangji River. Although they are no longer as prosperous and busy as before, they have not declined too much.

It seems that Tokyo has gradually recovered and the chaos in Shandong is no longer a serious problem.

Along the official road along the Guangji River, Ma Kuo was about to approach Chenqiao Gate.

Outside the Fuguo residential area and close to the military camp and school grounds, there is a large area designated as a "parking lot."

There are many donkey carts, horse-drawn carriages, and mule carts parked there. The livestock that were eaten up by the soldiers and civilians during the siege were also brought from other places to gradually resume the cart-pulling business. Next to the vehicles, there are sedans, both sedans and sedans, waiting for guests.

Come and visit.

"Go outside Lijing Gate." Ma Kao called for a mule cart.

The coachman said happily: "Sir, please take a seat."

The mule cart was moving slowly, and the iron tower of Kaibao Temple seemed to be getting bigger and bigger.

Ma Kuo asked casually: "I have been out of town for a long time and just returned home today. How is everything in Tokyo?"

The coachman said: "That guest official is lucky. During the siege of the city last year, I don't know how many people died of starvation and illness. After the officials of the Ming Dynasty came to the throne, it was difficult to buy food for the first five months. Every household had to take a household ticket.

The purchase of rations was restricted. At that time, there was also cheap meat for sale, but later I found out that the cheap meat was all human flesh. The prince sent 10,000 troops and arrested all the gangsters in the underground ditch! At that time, a batch of people were killed in the execution ground in two or three days, next door to my house

Li San'er, the executioner, had to use two knives to kill him."

Ma Kuo asked: "Did the previous dynasty kill many relatives and officials?"

The coachman said: "It's not too much, it's not too much. Even the officials and officials, those with a bad reputation, were killed dozens of times. There were also those who were exiled to the Confederate Army in southern Sichuan. The whole family went together, fearing that there would be something wrong inside and outside.

Thousands of people. But one thing is strange. The official from the previous dynasty became the agricultural officer of the new dynasty. Many people went to the western suburbs to see what was strange."

The coachman became more and more enthusiastic as he talked, pointing to the iron tower in the distance and said: "The emperor of the previous dynasty liked to practice Taoism and lost his country, but the officials of the new dynasty did not like Buddhism and Taoism. The prince ordered the temples to be cleaned up, and only the Kaibao Temple was left in the outer city.

All the temples and temples were demolished. Several prominent families were also separated and relocated, which made it easier for tenants inside and outside the city."

"Property cannot be taken away or sold?" Ma Kuo asked.

The coachman said: "You can take away the extravagance, but you have to donate enough money to the court. As for the real estate and shops, they are not allowed to be sold, and the government does not recognize them when they are sold. Like those houses that were left behind, the tenants only need to pay two

If you have a lease of more than ten years, you can buy a house for free with just a few bucks. If you have a lease of more than fifteen years, you only need to pay 30% of the house price to get the house deed from the government. If you have a lease of ten years, you can buy a house at half price. If the money is not enough,

We can also pay it to the government in installments every year.”

In the big cities of the Song Dynasty, even if they were classified as upper-class households by the government, there were still a large number of families who made a living by renting houses.

There are some that can be rented for decades!

For example, Ma Kuo often went on missions to Liao and Jin Dynasties, and Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty rewarded him with a lot of wealth, but his family always rented a house. The housing prices in Tokyo were too expensive, and there were not many houses for sale.

Therefore, Gao Qiu engages in real estate development. Even though most of the new houses are located in the northern suburbs, there are still a large number of wealthy people willing to snap up those "new houses outside the Sixth Ring Road."

The driver talked about a lot of interesting things about Tokyo, which gave Ma Kuo a general understanding.

After getting off the car in front of the house, Ma Kuo knocked on the door.

The door opened a crack, then opened wide, and someone inside shouted: "My husband is back, my husband is back!"

There was an immediate commotion in the house, and several old servants came running to ask about the whereabouts of Ma Kuo's personal entourage.

Ma Kuo looked sad: "They were killed while fighting the Jin soldiers. Only Zhong Shi is still alive and was placed in Shouyang to recuperate."

As soon as these words came out, some old servants fainted and some women burst into tears.

"My lord, the prince has sent someone to tell you that if you come back to the capital, go and see him immediately. I have asked someone to boil the bath water, and I will go after bathing and changing clothes." His wife Zhao Jiniang said. (Zhao Jiniang is a fictional character written by Mr. Xu. Because of his special

Due to the time period, the novel "Jin Ou Que" took 46 years to write. When I wrote the last two volumes, I ran out of energy and it was a pity that I wrote them in a hurry.)

Ma Kuo went to the back house to get some money as a pension for his entourage, and then took his wife to talk alone: ​​"Is there any news from your parents?"

Zhao Geniang said sadly: "My uncle was defending the city in Shandong and was killed by the bandits. My aunt and second uncle were also brutally murdered. Only my third uncle broke out to rescue the troops and survived, and now he has obtained a military position in the new dynasty."

Ma Kuo's body shook, and it took him a while to accept the reality.

Zhao Anniang helped her husband sit down and wanted to say something good to comfort her: "We have only rented this house for six years. The prince was especially gracious and allowed us to buy it at 30% of the price. I have already bought the house. My husband wants to see the house deed."

?”

"No need." Ma Kuo waved his hand.

In the past, Ma Kuo would have been dancing with joy if he had bought a mansion outside Tokyo at a price of 30%.

But now his parents are dead, and his second brother, sister-in-law, nephew, and niece are all dead. Only a third brother survived the breakout. Several of his followers who grew up with him also died while fighting guerrillas with the Jin soldiers. The surviving ones

One is still recovering from his injuries in Shanxi.

Compared with these lives, what does a big house in Tokyo mean?

After bathing and changing clothes, Ma Kuo took a car to the Generalissimo's Mansion.

When he heard that Ma Kuo had arrived, Ju Ming held a banquet in his own honor and also called the Liao envoy Xiao Orila.

The two met and had many feelings.

Ma Kuo first went to the Kingdom of Jin with his father and was ordered to negotiate an alliance with Jin to fight against the Liao Dynasty. During Tong Guan's expedition to the Liao Dynasty, Ma Kuo was in the Kingdom of Liao throughout the whole process, trying to persuade the monarchs and ministers of the Liao Kingdom to surrender.

Even when Xiao Weili was a prisoner of the Jin people, the two of them met in the Jin country.

"Long time no see!" Xiao Weili held his hand.

Ma Kuo also lamented: "I haven't seen you for several years, and things have changed."

Zhu Ming invited the two of them to sit down, poured the wine himself and said: "Any grievances we had in the past can be put aside. General Xiao's country was ruined and his family was destroyed, and General Ma's parents and brothers died tragically. These are all thanks to the golden man. From now on, we should look for the golden man together."

revenge."

Ju Ming was lying. Ma Kuo's parents and brothers died at the hands of the Shandong Uprising Army.

If we insist on having anything to do with the Jin people, we can only say that those rebels were people from Hebei who were driven away by the Jin people and fled to Shandong.

Hearing that Ma Kuo's parents and brothers died tragically, Xiao Weili felt better instantly, and felt a sense of sympathy for his fate. He raised his glass and said: "After drinking this, I will go kill the golden man from now on!"

"Do it!" Ma Kuo drank it all in one gulp.

A young man was brought in by the eunuch and stood at the door wondering whether he should go in or not.

Ju Ming smiled and waved: "Come in and have a drink. You will accompany General Ma on his mission to the Liao Kingdom. Along the way, you will also be canonizing the Yellow-headed Uighur and the Gaochang Uighur."

"yes!"

Yu Yunwen walked in quickly, saluted to Zhu Ming, and then bowed to the other two.
