"That's right! Lin Fan is always going to leave. If he leaves, we have many ways to get the land back from the hands of the people!"
"Hehe, this Lin Fan is so secretive. He would never imagine that we would compromise with him and use him to gain control of Nanjing City!"
Donglin Party officials sat together to discuss the matter and decided to temporarily take out all their land and distribute it to the people, and then ask the people to get it back later.
Three hours later, Lin Fan took complete control of the army. By rearranging and reorganizing, these 90,000 people were completely under Lin Fan's orders.
Lin Fan mobilized a thousand elites among the tiger and leopard cavalry to become the generals of the 90,000 people, and then took these people towards the imperial palace in Nanjing City.
This place was built by Zhu Yuanzhang before, and it is not small in scale. Hundreds of thousands of troops came in, and there was no feeling of crowding at all.
"Come here! Call me all the officials in this city, and then call me all the landlords and gentry in Nanjing City!"
Lin Fan stood in the square in front of the Palace of Supreme Harmony and gave the order. The Jin Yiwei quickly went to the official residences in Nanjing City to find someone. Those officials had already been prepared and naturally did not have any fear.
They entered the palace together, and more than three hundred officials appeared in front of Lin Fan. Lin Fan couldn't help but have a cold look on his face. There were so many officials in Nanjing. No wonder the officials in the capital didn't want Chongzhen to come to Nanjing!
Because once Chongzhen came to Nanjing, all those officials would be abolished. Of course, Chongzhen would also be directly abolished and become a complete puppet emperor.
"My lower official, Zhang Shizhong, has met Mr. Lin!"
"Prince Wang Buyi has met Mr. Lin!"
"My subordinate Chen Jia has met Mr. Lin!"
…
When the officials saw Lin Fan, they all stepped forward to salute.
Lin Fan said: "I came here this time in compliance with His Majesty's order. Of course, this proposal was made by Zhan Shiyu, the young master of Zhan Shifu, and has nothing to do with me!"
"If you want to blame, you can only go to him. Look, there is Xiang Yu's seal on this document. His proposal is to distribute the land in your hands and the land in the hands of the landlords and gentry to the common people."
…
When all the officials heard what Lin Fan said, they all looked speechless. If you tell ghosts what you said, they won't believe it!
Just lie to the officials in Henan and Shandong. They don't have close contact with the capital, but we have all received letters from the capital.
You made a suggestion and asked Xiang Yu to take the blame. You are really evil!
"Haha! Mr. Lin, we all accept this proposal. All the land in our family that is not recorded in the books should be divided among the people!"
"Yes! Mr. Lin, we also have some land in our family. Let's divide it among the common people!"
"I am willing to give all my land to the people, Master Lin. My land is very fertile. I believe that the people's lives will become better because of this!"
…
Each of these people was extremely cheerful and directly agreed to distribute the land to the people. Lin Fan was also a little stunned. He originally thought that these people would refuse, and he could use this as an excuse to directly kill people.
"Ahem! Are you all willing?"
Lin Fan asked.
"Of course! Mr. Lin, not only are we willing, we also want to persuade the landlords and gentry to be willing!"
The officials said one after another.
"Okay! I won't say much more to you today. Early tomorrow morning, Jin Yiwei will go to Zhang Liang's land to allocate land to the people. Now you can go do the work of the landlords."
Lin Fan said.
work?
What does it mean?
The officials of the Donglin Party all looked puzzled, but they didn't think much about it and turned around and left one by one to talk to the landlords and gentry about the matter.
After they left, Jin Yiwei stepped forward and said: "Mr. Lin, I didn't expect that our work went so smoothly. It's really gratifying that these officials are so loyal to our Ming Dynasty!"
"Sir, since all these officials have agreed to divide the land, there is no need for us to stay here any longer. Why don't we dare to go to Xi'an now!"
Someone among the Jinyi guards advised.
Although the Jinyi Guards are now under Lin Fan's control, these are the Jinyi Guards after all, and they are a sharp knife in the emperor's hand.
Naturally, their hearts are towards Chongzhen!
Lin Fan sneered and said: "If these people are really dedicated to the people, why do they still evade taxes?
Why still conceal the land?
Why do you still condone the landlords and gentry in Nanjing City to conceal their land?"
"To put it bluntly, they are just afraid of me. If I leave now, they have many ways to take the land back from the hands of the people."
"So, their most important thing is to coax me away, not to confront me."
As a person of the 21st century, Lin Fan knew this routine after watching too many costume TV dramas. Therefore, he did not rush to evacuate, but waited for the officials of the Donglin Party to divide the land among the people.
Kill them one by one, confiscate their property, and then leave.
"What! Lord Wang, isn't this appropriate? My family fortune depends entirely on these lands. You asked me to divide them among the people. I won't agree to it!"
In a landlord's home, Mr. Wang was discussing the matter with the landlord.
"You! Why are you not sensible at all? Aren't we doing this just to coax that Lin Fan away?
Now that he's gone, will those people be able to fight you?"
Lord Wang said in a deep voice.
kindness!
The man's eyes suddenly widened. That's right! Now that Lin Fan is gone, are the people his opponents?
That won't take the land back in minutes!
"I see, Lord Wang, I understand what you mean, and I agree to this!"
The landowner said with a smile.
It only took one night for the landowners in Nanjing City to agree to Lin Fan's proposal to distribute land to the people, and they were very cooperative throughout the process.
In this way, Lin Fan only used one day to let the common people get the land. However, Lin Fan still did not leave the palace.
The official found Lin Fan again and said, "Hey! Master Lin, this land has been divided among the people. The city of Xi'an is in urgent need. You'd better lead troops to support us as soon as possible!"
"Yes, sir! You can take away some of the garrison of Nanjing City and leave us 50,000. After all, this is the second capital of our Ming Dynasty!"
…
The officials all had flattering looks on their faces. Lin Fan rolled his eyes at them. It had only been a day and he was already so impatient?
"My lord is also planning to leave today, but before leaving, I have to settle accounts with you."
Lin Fan said in a deep voice, since these officials were eager to reincarnate, why shouldn't he give them a ride?
