Du Fei came to the scene and found out what was going on, and almost laughed out of anger at the reason.
There is no bloody plot. It starts with the issue of the boundary between the two villages, which mainly involves two places. One is the two acres of land in the mountain col, and the other is the approximately 20-meter-long river.
But Du Fei couldn't laugh when he looked at the village secretaries present, his face became gloomy, and he said angrily: "It's just playing the piano randomly! You are all old comrades, what is the situation now? You would use a knife or a gun just for this matter.
? And you, instead of trying to persuade me, you brought people to help. What do you want to do? You even brought the cannon out for me! You are really capable. Did you forget your last name when you got outside? Yes
If we fight each other, a few people from each family will die, and you will be happy."
Several village secretaries were scolded so much that they dared not say a word. One reason was because of Du Fei's position, which made them instinctively awe.
Moreover, Du Fei was right. In fact, they did not expect that things would develop to this point.
Especially the several villages that came to help. Originally, the matter had nothing to do with them. However, due to the help of fellow villagers, they came to support each other.
I didn’t really want to let the boys from my own village go up and fight for their lives.
Unexpectedly, both sides were pushed together. It was not until I saw someone pushing the cannon up that I realized that things were out of control.
But no one can give in at this time, otherwise the whole village will not be able to hold its head high in this area.
He could only bite the bullet and grit his teeth.
Fortunately, they were discovered by the patrolling gunship, which gave them a step up.
Otherwise, if they really wanted to fight, they would have started fighting long ago. How could they still hold on for more than an hour, waiting for Du Fei to arrive here?
After being reprimanded by Du Fei, the village secretaries all kept their heads in silence, but felt relieved in their hearts. After thinking about their own thoughts, they got off the slope and took the opportunity to lead the others away.
Who would have thought that at this time, there would be a stupid young man who couldn't see the situation clearly, and said in a loud voice: "The 20 meters of river and two acres of land should belong to our village, why should we give them to them?"
Although this person's voice was not loud, he seemed quite abrupt because no one spoke.
The expression of the oldest village secretary who spoke just now changed, and he turned around suddenly and wanted to scold that idiot to shut up.
Du Fei was extremely angry. Without waiting for the old village secretary to speak, he sneered: "Well said! Then let me ask you, how many acres of land do you have in your hometown?"
The young man instantly felt that everyone's eyes were focused on him. He had been so obedient just now, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
But in the face of Du Fei's questioning, he still bit the bullet and hesitated for a long time: "Well, my family has a total of two acres and seven cents of land."
Du Fei saw that this man looked stupid, but he was also a little clever, so he changed his mind here.
Du Fei asked him how much land he had in his hometown, but he said he had more than two acres of land.
But it didn't matter. Du Fei didn't bother to explain the details to him, and said directly: "Even if you have two and a half acres of land in your hometown, now I give you fifty acres each, and your family will have more than one hundred acres of land. You
They are risking their lives for two acres of land and twenty meters of river!"
At this point, Du Fei glanced at the audience and said in a louder voice: "Will everyone settle the score? No matter which village you live in, if a person dies, you will lose dozens of acres of land. Which one is more and which one is less? I want to live a good life."
, don’t you want to live anymore? Or do you feel comfortable being hungry and cold? In that case, I will grant you a favor, the ship that brought you here is still parked at the port, and if any villagers want to go back, I will approve the note now and send you away immediately. "
This time both sides were silent.
In fact, Du Fei knew in his heart that what these people gathered here to fight was not at all about the two acres of land and the twenty-meter river, but to compete with each other for the upper hand.
We were all new here and didn't know each other's background. We didn't want to show weakness to others, for fear that if we showed weakness once, we would be bullied by the neighboring villagers in the future.
The so-called, people compete for a breath, Buddha competes for a stick of incense, this is the truth.
And Du Fei couldn't fundamentally solve this problem. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are disputes, which are unavoidable.
More time is needed for these immigrants to determine their status in the new environment.
But not in such a fierce or even tragic way.
After being scolded, Du Fei asked the village secretary to take back all the people in their respective villages.
Nothing happened in the middle.
It's not that Du Fei has much prestige, but that he holds the trump card in his hand, just like he said just now.
Nowadays, one person has dozens of acres of land. If one or two people are killed due to armed fighting, the loss will be huge.
After the crowd was dispersed, Du Fei breathed a sigh of relief, but he knew that this matter was treating the symptoms rather than the root cause.
We must find a way to solve the problem from the root.
When these people came out of the country, they were panicked at first, but now they have settled down and their mentality has changed.
Today's situation is a manifestation. Both sides are testing whether the people around them are soft or hard, whether the local control is strict, and testing the strength of the superior government and the extent to which they can tolerate it.
Du Fei is not used to their bad habits. If he gets used to them, he will become a troublesome person. That's when it will be difficult to deal with them.
After it was over, Du Fei asked the troops who had previously maintained order in the local area to continue to be stationed in place. If similar problems occurred again, they would shoot directly and there was no need to tolerate them.
By the time he returned to Kuching, it was already after nine o'clock in the evening.
Du Fei, however, was not in a hurry to go home, but first went to Chen Fangshi to discuss countermeasures regarding this matter.
At this time, Chen Fangshi was still working. Comparatively speaking, his workload as Prime Minister was greater than that of Du Fei.
Du Fei grasped the direction, but Chen Fangshi was still responsible for the specific implementation.
However, after being nourished by power, the old guy Chen Fangshi is radiant and full of energy.
After meeting Du Fei and listening to his description of the situation, Chen Fangshi couldn't help but sneered: "This is human nature, it's not surprising."
Du Fei understood that Chen Fangshi was right. Human nature is like this. It is impossible to reverse it and can only be suppressed by external force.
The greater the external pressure, the stronger the internal centripetal force.
He said in a deep voice: "It seems that we really can't be too comfortable."
In fact, Du Fei knew very well that the Xingzheng system he and Lin Tiansheng built in Borneo was not strong. Suddenly so many people broke in, which had a huge impact on the original system and essentially changed the original ecology. Pointing to this
It is simply impossible for the system to manage the sudden influx of more than 10 million people.
Even with Chen Fangshi's ability and Du Fei's vision as a time traveler, it is still difficult to solve the problem directly and can only take a long-term approach.
After asking Chen Fangshi to pay attention to this situation, Du Fei came out of the Prime Minister's Office and returned to Wang Yufen.
But I didn't expect that Wang Xiaodong would be here as soon as I entered the room!
Du Fei was at the door just now and was wondering why there was a car parked nearby. It seemed to be Wang Xiaodong's.
Seeing Du Fei, Wang Xiaodong immediately stood up from the sofa, lowered his head and called "brother-in-law."
Du Fei was surprised, why did Wang Xiaodong want him?
It stands to reason that Wang Yufen had known that he was coming today, and if Wang Xiaodong hadn't specifically come to find him, he wouldn't have stayed until now.
Moreover, Wang Xiaodong had been avoiding Du Fei intentionally or unintentionally.
Wang Yufen came over quickly and helped Du Fei put on his slippers.
Du Fei smiled and said "hmm", came to the sofa and sat down, and said to Wang Xiaodong: "Sit down~ As a family, don't be formal."
Wang Xiaodong responded and sat down again, straightening his back, with a clear military temperament on his body.
Du Fei looked at it and couldn't help but secretly nod. Wang Xiaodong has been tempered over the years, at least he looks like he can do things reliably.
Wang Yufen took out the herbal tea from the refrigerator and poured it on Du Fei, and said gently: "You guys get down to business, I'm going back to the house first."
Wang Yufen is very measured in this regard. Even if Wang Xiaodong comes to visit, she will not participate.
This is also where she is smart. With her relationship, Du Fei will care about it and will definitely do whatever can be done. But if it can't be done, her presence will only embarrass Du Fei and consume Du Fei's friendship with her.
.
Anyway, Wang Yufen knew it well, as long as Du Fei was still willing to come to her, and as long as his daughter tied the relationship, Du Fei would not ignore her natal family.
And the stronger her natal family is, the greater their support will be for her in the future.
During this process, Wang Yufen didn't have to do anything, just position herself correctly.
Wang Xiaodong also understood very well. He waited until his sister walked upstairs before reporting the situation: "Brother-in-law, back then my grandfather had an apprentice named Ma San'er..."
Du Fei listened to his story, and it turned out that there was a man named Ma Zhuang under Wang Qiye, who was practicing at home and nicknamed Ma San. He was a Hui himself, but he was not that determined.
He used to work for Wang Qiye for a while, but this time the Wang family came to Nanyang, and he followed him.
Originally, this person was not considered outstanding among the disciples and grandsons of Wang Qiye, but this time he discovered a major event based on his nation and reported it to Wang Xiaodong.
Ma Saner discovered that a group of people who had moved from China had secret contacts with some local people.
When Du Fei heard this, he immediately became vigilant.
He had always been very afraid of this situation, because when Zheng He went to the Western Seas, because of his own beliefs, he allowed the Middle Easterners to cross Indo and preach in Southeast Asia.
Now it has occupied most of the Indian and Malay areas. This is why Du Fei had to fill in more people from Henan Province before, just to check and balance the population proportion issue.
But now it seems that what I worried about has happened.
However, Du Fei did not believe that this matter was simply a spontaneous contact between the two parties.
Those local people, who had been deliberately suppressed by Du Fei before, had always been law-abiding.
These new people have not even arranged the village and land yet, so they have no time to think about anything else.
Du Fei wouldn't believe it if no one was secretly fueling the flames and pulling strings.
Wang Xiaodong didn't think much about it. He accidentally learned about this situation from Ma San'er and was keenly aware of the seriousness, so he came to Du Fei immediately.
Now Wang Yufen gave birth to a daughter to Du Fei, and also asked Zhu Li to adopt her goddaughter and gave her the title of princess.
This completely reassured Wang Xiaodong and the entire Wang family, and showed that Du Fei still cared about Wang Yufen.
Du Fei thought for a moment and immediately called Eagle over.
It is better to leave this kind of matter to Eagle to investigate. Since returning from Indu last time, Eagle has taken over the intelligence department in Kuching.
This is also the reason why Du Fei dared to be a hands-off shopkeeper.
Eagle controls the intelligence department, there are many old people from the capital in the army, and Zhu Li occupies the nominal throne.
Even if Chen Fangshi, the prime minister, can only exercise his power, it is impossible to fundamentally shake Du Fei's foundation.
Eagle can command some crows, which are used to investigate this kind of thing.
Sure enough, after only a few days, clues were discovered.
Du Fei frowned when he received the report and sneered: "He is really a troublemaker, and he has the shadow of an Englishman."
According to Eagle's investigation, the Yingguo people secretly instigated collusion between the two parties and promised to provide weapons, using these people to give Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng some color.
Du Fei didn't look good after receiving Eagle's report.
The British guys want to get back to where they were last time in Lijiapo.
It happened that Lin Tiansheng was also in Kuching these days, so Du Fei immediately called Lin Tiansheng and Chen Fangshi over.
The two of them were shocked when they heard this, especially if foreigners were involved, and they couldn't take it lightly.
Lin Tiansheng's eyes were sinister: "That's unreasonable! Some people are really wolf-hearted and collude with outsiders. This is the fruit of treason."
Chen Fangshi also had a serious expression, but did not express his stance immediately and asked Du Fei what his attitude was.
Du Fei had already thought deeply before and said in a deep voice: "As I say, let them make trouble~"
Lin Tiansheng was stunned and frowned: "You want to lure the snake out of its hole?"
Du Fei said: "Some pustules cannot be squeezed out at first. You have to wait until they come out and reveal their white tips before you can prick them open and squeeze them out completely. Otherwise, the sores will remain hidden forever and slowly erode our fruits."
The foundation of home.”
Lin Tiansheng nodded slowly, understanding the truth, but a little worried: "How sure are you?"
Once this kind of thing goes out of control, the consequences will be disastrous.
Du Fei reassured him that this was Nanyang.
However, allowing the matter to ferment does not mean letting the Yingguo people who caused the trouble go. Du Fei looked at Eagle who was present and ordered: "I don't want to see those two Yingguo people leave Nanyang alive."
Eagle nodded slightly: "As you wish~"
…
Two days later, Du Fei woke up early in the morning. He had just picked up today's Kuching Morning News and saw that the front page headline was that a fire broke out in a hotel.
One of the Yingguo men staying there was burned to death.
At the same time, in another ordinary private house in Kuching's South City.
Outside the house, the police car's lights were on, and several police officers were surveying the scene.
And it was concluded that the deceased in the bathroom was drunk and drowned in the bathtub while taking a bath due to drinking.
And this person is from the Military Qing Sixth Branch, the person in charge of this plan.
At the same time, in a newly built village more than 70 kilometers away from Kuching.
Because of the rush of time, the wood used to build the house was freshly cut and only briefly dried. Coupled with the local climate, there was a sense of moisture in the house.
In the center of the village, there is the largest wooden house, which is the village hall.
A fierce quarrel is taking place inside.
An old imam wearing a white hat shouted angrily: "What do you want to do? Have you forgotten how many people in our village would have starved to death if it weren't for the government? You have forgotten who asked us to come here and gave us such fertile land.
Collaborating with the local heretics is simply stupid!"
Several young people opposite were a little unconvinced and opened their mouths to argue.
The old imam changed the topic and glared at them: "Are you not convinced that you are stupid? What do you think you can do with just you people and those broken guns? Can you defeat the regular army here? They said they are in the army.
Do you believe people who are?”
The young man at the head frowned and said: "Why don't you believe it? They said that tens of thousands of people can be mobilized at a critical moment. As long as we contact some people, we can raid and capture Kuching. By then, both the British and American people will *
***."
The old imam was so angry that he laughed back: "Okay~ No wonder, it turns out that you want to be narrow-minded and self-respecting! You guys are really promising."
Several young people remained silent.
The old imam no longer became angry, but calmed down: "Do you think these plans of theirs are true? If they are really so powerful, what did we do before we came? As far as I know, they have never launched a decent operation.
Why did we suddenly become so powerful as soon as we arrived? There are also Yingguo people and Meiguo people. Do you think they are reliable? Or do you think the government is afraid of their intimidation and threats? "
"But..." Several young people also hesitated. In fact, it was not that they had not expected these situations, they just felt that they could be explained.
The old imam interrupted: "It's nothing but, I won't say anything else." Then he stamped his feet vigorously: "Just tell me how did the land under our feet come from? Why did they let us live here? And they gave us this
Duo Land, are the people here kind-hearted and knowing that we have suffered a disaster, so they invited us here?"
Several young people were speechless.
The old imam continued: "To put it bluntly, the government took this from us, so we can get here. According to you, the Yingguo people and the Meiguo people are so powerful, why didn't they stop them?"
Several young people were asked.
The old imam continued: "What good intentions can those locals have? They just want us to die. If you just dig a hole and jump into it, you are not stupid."
Several people present looked even more ugly.
Just at this moment, someone outside came in in a hurry and shouted: "Brother Ma..."
As soon as I entered the door and saw the situation in the room, I immediately swallowed the rest of my words.
The old imam frowned and asked what happened?
The young people who followed took a sneak peek at the leader, Brother Ma.
The old imam said angrily: "Who are you looking at! I can't speak well, can I?"
The young man trembled with fright and said quickly: "Well, the troops originally stationed near us have withdrawn."
When the other young people heard this, their eyes lit up, as if they saw hope again and could show off their talents.
Instead, the old imam's expression changed and he said in surprise: "Are you serious! Please tell me carefully what happened when."
Later, the young man was frightened, but he did not dare to be vague and told the truth.
The old imam said "Oh!" and stamped his feet anxiously: "It's broken, it's broken!"
Brother Ma, the leader among the young people, was not slow to react. He understood why the old imam reacted this way and asked: "Uncle, do you think the government has discovered it?"
Before the old imam could speak, a young man next to him said: "Isn't this right? If they were discovered, why did they evacuate them?"
The old imam said sadly: "It's just because we evacuated that we are going to die! They are planning to catch us all in one go."
There were still people who didn't understand. The old imam explained: "Relocating the nearby troops will allow us to be more unscrupulous. It is best to gather more people. When the matter is completely made big, we can use thunderous means to completely solve the problem."
"
When everyone heard this, they finally realized that they were scared. Some people quickly asked what to do?
The old imam pursed his lips and thought for a while and said: "There is no other way now. We must save ourselves."
Brother Ma understood: "You mean we take the initiative to confess?"
The old imam nodded: "There have been no consequences yet. We still have opportunities and they are worth using..."
Having said this, the old imam took a deep look at Brother Ma.
Brother Ma nodded slightly. He understood that the old imam wanted to kill the Taoist fellow Taoist but was not going to die and was planning to sell the others.
You should know that this time they were not the only ones to find their village, there were also several villages with similar situations.
Brother Ma said: "Uncle, if this is the case, should I report directly to the county cadres?"
The old imam did not agree. He pursed his lips and shook his head and said: "The county cadre can't talk to us about this matter. He has no connections here. The one who has to deal with us now is the big leader above. If we want to save ourselves, we must directly contact him."
The higher-ups speak. Besides, people from the county may not be reliable, and it will be even more troublesome if the news leaks."
Brother Ma was shocked: "Uncle, do you suspect that people from the county are also involved?"
The old imam shook his head: "I'm not sure. It's not safe anyway. This affects our whole village. There can't be any mistakes. We must be careful."
Brother Ma nodded: "Then I will go with you early tomorrow morning."
The old imam said: "Why are you waiting for tomorrow? Let's leave now."
In fact, there was something the old imam didn't say. The reason why he was so anxious was that he was afraid of being beaten first.
They were not the only smart people. He was sure that there would be someone like him who would take the initiative to report it.
The two moved overnight and rode two bicycles straight to Kuching.
However, when I came to Kuching, I had no idea who to look for.
After a lot of twists and turns, I finally met Du Fei in the afternoon.
Du Fei was not too surprised to see them, because he had just issued an order not long ago to withdraw the troops nearby.
When the old imam told the whole story, Du Fei couldn't help but sneered: "You can see clearly."
The old imam immediately said: "You can't lose your conscience. We suffered a disaster. If it weren't for the government, I don't know how many people, old and young, would have died in the village, let alone giving us so much land. No matter when it comes, I will firmly support you and the government."
Mansion."
Du Fei smiled half-heartedly. This old imam was quite shrewd. The other party's so-called loyalty was not trustworthy. It was just based on his strength and he did not dare to go beyond it.
But this is enough, whether it is teaching with kingly ways or intimidating with domineering, obeying my orders and being used by me, it is enough.
According to the information provided by the old imam, it is completely possible to catch all these people by this time.
This is what the old imam expected.
However, Du Fei did not do what he thought, and instead let their village continue to make mistakes.
The old imam was stunned at first.
Du Fei smiled and said: "Not only do I have to make peace with them, I can also provide them with weapons and ammunition through you to make them make things worse."
The old imam and Brother Ma looked at each other, and for a moment they didn't understand what Du Fei meant.
But soon the old imam was the first to react. He couldn't help but feel his scalp numb. He looked at the young man in front of him, who was fair and elegant, but his methods were so vicious.
This is to force those who conspired to rebel to die without burial!
Then Brother Ma saw the old imam's face turned pale and understood.
He was secretly glad that he listened to the old imam, otherwise... he would not dare to think further.
…
Half a month later.
One night in mid-December, a dark yellow moon hung in the sky.
When it shines on the ground, it can vaguely reflect human figures.
A team of more than 5,000 people gathered in the southern suburbs of Kuching City.
There are less than 2,000 people here who came here as a result of this migration, and more than 3,000 people were originally from Kuching who were dissatisfied with the kingdom.
Because this great migration operation involved most of the energy of the government departments, these people felt that they had an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Gathering strength, contacting allies, and finally deciding to take action tonight.
While more than 5,000 people suddenly launched an attack, many internal agents appeared in the city, deliberately sabotaging and creating chaos.
Correspondingly, the Kuching government was extremely slow to respond to emergencies, allowing the rebels to fight all the way from the southern suburbs to the Prime Minister's Office and the Old Royal Palace.
At this moment, Du Fei and Chen Fangshi were standing on the top floor of a twenty-story building in the city center.
This building, which was topped out just two months ago, is the latest landmark building in Kuching and was built by Lao Yang's construction company.
The designers and engineering team hired from Xiangjiang finally took more than a year to complete the main structure and exterior walls, leaving the interior decoration still to be completed.
Knowing that the other party was planning to take action tonight, Chen Fangshi suggested coming here to watch the excitement.
Du Fei originally didn't care. He had vision synchronization and could see more clearly, but when Chen Fangshi was interested, he came happily.
At this time, gunshots were heard from time to time in the city, and fires appeared in some places. Someone deliberately set fires in order to create chaos.
Du Feihun didn't care, this farce would be over soon.
Only when the people in Kuching feel the chaos can we make further articles.
Let those who migrated know that the land just allocated to them is not stable. If they want to hold on to these lands forever, they must support Du Fei and the kingdom's official government...
It took more than an hour from the first gunshot.
Overlooking the entire city of Kuching from Du Fei and Chen Fangshi, seven or eight fire spots had appeared in the city, which were particularly eye-catching in the dark night.
In the city center, a fierce exchange of fire was taking place in the square in front of the Old Palace.
This was the first time the rebels encountered determined resistance after entering the city.
At this time, Chen Fangshi looked at his watch and reminded: "It's almost time, it's time to end~"
Du Fei nodded at Eagle, who was standing next to him.
Eagle understood, took out a flare gun, and fired it "bang" into the sky.
A bright fire broke through the night sky.
In an instant, more than a dozen teams hidden throughout the city took action immediately.
All along, Du Fei has a roster.
In order to stabilize the situation in the kingdom, Du Fei had to tolerate some people.
Now, with more than half of the population migration completed, the basis of governance in Borneo has completely changed.
Those who were important before and had to make compromises are now not so important.
This time they will be removed together, which is why Du Fei wants to put the rebels in the city. There are many things that require them to take the blame.
