Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Outside Chengdu,

Several young people sat on the ground with ashen faces and bruises, looking extremely depressed.

They are all students of Datong Academy, unlike Wang Wencai and Wu Xiangren in Ziyang County, they went directly to the outskirts of Fucheng to promote the imperial court's policies.

The result is obstruction everywhere.

The southwestern land is different from the hinterland of the Central Plains. Here the power of the dignitaries, landlords, and chieftains is too great. After all, whether it is the Ming Dynasty or pushing forward, the southwestern border is governed by the vassals and towns, and the clans, vassals, and court princes sit in town.

Since the Ming Dynasty’s power in the southwest has shrunk since the Xuanzong period, it has been equivalent to giving up the right to actually manage the southwest. The Tusi, Shengmiao, and dignitaries in Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan, the King of Shu in Shu, and the King Mu in Yunnan, these are The true ruler of the Southwest.

If it weren't for the Mu Wang Mansion in Yunnan's unruly ambitions to enshrine the frontier, and An Nanguo Yelang's arrogance to try to swallow Yunnan, the court would have no good opportunity and reason to attack the Southwest.

Today, in the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan in the southwest, although Yunnan Province was half disabled in the previous war with An Nanguo, the power of the powerful and powerful landlords has also been weakened. Now in Yunnan, half of the powerful and powerful landlords and chieftains, and half of the new party, plus Yunnan has Lang Pingyu in Kunming, and the situation in Yunnan is much better than that in Sichuan and Guizhou.

Although Guizhou has many mountains and chieftains, it does not have a clan vassal like Sichuan.

In addition, the road to Shu is difficult, and the king of Shu has been in charge of Sichuan for 260 years. The king of Shu has cultivated the land of Sichuan for generations, making it impossible for ordinary New Party officials to infiltrate.

Nowadays, it is nothing more than dozens of students from Datong Academy to promote the imperial government's policies in various parts of Sichuan Province and encourage the people to trust the imperial court.

But as long as the king of Shu gives an order, the officials, dignitaries, gentry and landlords in Sichuan will become invisible obstacles, not to mention the ordinary people are the children of good families, who would dare to resist the clan and vassal king?

These students couldn't help but sigh when they thought that their hard work had turned into running water.

"Hey"

"Is the vassal king really that powerful? A steward can make nearly ten thousand people we have organized scattered like birds and beasts."

Hearing the discouragement of his companions, some people were not happy: "His thirteen generations of the Shu Palace have accumulated 260 years, if we overthrow it so easily, that would be a strange thing."

"However, my fellow students, I want to set up my heart for the world, for the life of the people, for the sages to inherit the knowledge, and to create peace for all ages! Great harmony in the world, and a well-off life for the people is our long-cherished wish, and it is also the mountain leader who established the Datong Academy. long-cherished wish."

"Looking at Chixian Shenzhou, Zhili, Shandong, Henan, Shanxi, Ganshan in the north, Huguang, Jiangnan, Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the south have all been changed by us. How long can the old landlord last?"

"It's up to people to make things happen. As long as we do our best, we can make things happen!"

"Don't forget, the head of the mountain only started from the small land of Shandong and Zhili. He developed the people and trained the militia. A single spark is enough to start a prairie fire!"

Everyone nodded fiercely: "Yes, a single spark is enough to start a prairie fire!"

"As long as we all work together, the Shu Palace will be overturned!"

The students encouraged each other, how could the stubbornness of the young people give in easily?

The stronger the power, the more bloody and proud it can inspire young people.

What about the King of Shu?

How many vassal kings in the world can fight against the imperial court now?

The founding father of the country has been destroyed in sevens and eighties, how many years can this feudal king last?

The gentleman's Ze Shang was killed by the fifth generation, the Ming Dynasty was founded for 260 years, and the fifteen emperors were passed on. This day should have been changed long ago, and the ancestral system should have been changed long ago!
Someone shouted loudly: "My lords!"

"We are now expelled from the Chengdu Mansion by the Shu Palace, but this does not mean that we have failed."

"Let's contact our classmates and friends again, and work around Chengdu Mansion. They look down on the common people, so let them see the power of the common people!"

Everyone chimed in: "Yes! We work around Chengdu, and the nineteen prefectures in Sichuan, there is always a place for us to do something!"

With hope, the students plan to revive. They still have time and hope.

But the students didn't notice that they were being targeted early on.

"Hey, they are all people who have achieved something in their studies. Even if they can't be used by the king, don't come to provoke the king. Why do you have to fight against the king? A few students really think of themselves as Linqing. " Zhu Zhishu sneered.

It's just a few Datong Academy students, even if all the Datong Academy students in Sichuan were slaughtered, why would he be afraid?

But that Linqing guy really couldn't afford to provoke her.

Zhu Zhishu knew very well that he was a clan vassal, but compared to Linqing, in the eyes of that majesty, he was nothing. In terms of trust and importance, he was nothing but a clan vassal. The blood of the Zhu family and a little bit of fame are gone.

"Hey, he got on the horse to rule the army, and got off the horse to rule the country. In just ten years, the Ming Dynasty was governed to make the country strong and the people rich, and the world peaceful. Such a person cannot be provoked."

"Nowadays, he is located in Gyeonggi, radiating the north and south of the Ming Dynasty. This king will salute and bow when he sees him."

Zhu Zhishu sighed, and picked up a string of rosary beads: "The king is not in a good mood today, so let's chant Buddha's name and eat vegetarian food."

The man in black said, "This subordinate understands."

Soon, a carrier pigeon spread the news of the Shu Palace to a village outside the Chengdu Mansion, and several guys dressed as farmers entered a cottage.

This cottage is occupied by a bandit in Sichuan. The bandit occupies the mountain as the king, and goes down the mountain to plunder every day. It is also very reputable to let people go after collecting tolls. Passing merchants are willing to spend some money to keep safe. This group of bandits is also happy and happy.

But when they actually went to the stronghold, they would find that the bandits in the stronghold were trained according to the method of marching, with swords, shields and spears, bows, arrows and crossbows, practicing non-stop day and night.

Looking at the equipment of these bandits, it looks like they are all mended and tattered clothes, but what they hold are all refined steel knives and spears, strong bows and crossbows, and even many horses. Where are these equipments?

In the Juyi Hall of the cottage, a spy dressed as a farmer knelt on one knee: "My lord, news from the palace."

In front of the hemp bandit was a strong man wearing forged iron armor. This was the king of the village and the leader of these people.

The leader burned the secret letter immediately after reading it: "The traces of those students have been found?"

"Found it." The spy replied.

The strong man nodded: "Give them another day, let them run more, and run farther so they can do it."

"Under the mark, I understand!"

The next day, the students were robbed by horse bandits. The horse bandits, who had never attacked scholars and scholars, acted extremely viciously this time. All the students were murdered, and no one survived!
When the news was sent back to the Chengdu Mansion, Zhu Zhishu was satisfied: "These annoying flies are finally dead, and seven or eight people died in one fell swoop. The other flies should not run to my king anymore."

"By the way, have those horse bandits been dealt with?"

The man in black returned: "In a few days, there will be news that the horse bandits slaughtered scholars, and the government officials sent troops from all counties to suppress the bandits. Those horse bandits will not survive for a few days."

Zhu Zhishu nodded: "Very well, don't deal with it too quickly and let people find the trace."

Without those annoying students and troublemakers, Zhu Zhishu felt that his breathing was much easier, and now this land of Shu really allowed him to do what he did, and there was no longer any restriction.

The murder of the student did not come out until a few days later, and it was discovered by hunters in Rongchang County, Chongqing Prefecture, while hunting in the mountains.

When Orion saw the corpses all over the floor, he was so frightened that he went to the county to report the crime. When the magistrate Rongchang heard the news, he immediately rushed to the scene with the county magistrate, chief secretary, inspector, and a fast patrol.

When I arrived at the scene and saw the mess on the ground, the corpses of seven or eight students were rotting and smelly, and the ground was full of various messy traces, the county magistrate's face changed completely!
The county magistrate, or county magistrate, is the parent official of a county.

Don't look at the seventh rank, but he is in charge of the government affairs of a place, and everything within a hundred miles of the county is under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate, so he is also called Bailihou.

Don't look at the county magistrate calling the wind and rain in a county, but it is the county magistrate who is unlucky when something happens.

For example, the county magistrate of Rongchang is turning pale now, not because he was disgusted, but because he was frightened.

According to the on-site investigation conducted by Kuaiban, all the students who died were students of Datong Academy!
Who doesn't know that the implementation of the new policy of the imperial court is led by the students of Datong Academy. After completing their studies in Datong Academy, these students return to their hometowns to promote the imperial government's policies and promote the progress of the New Deal.

Who would dare to provoke these students so easily?

What's more, although Ming Dynasty has frequent wars abroad, the country is peaceful, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and it is not a small matter to die a few people in a county.

Moreover, the one who died was a student of Datong Academy!
"This is, who did this!" The magistrate of Rongchang clutched his sleeve tightly. These seven or eight Datong Academy students died in his jurisdiction. How can he explain it!
The county magistrates, chief bookkeepers, and inspectors all had panicked faces.

Don't look at the county magistrate, master book, and patrol inspectors placed within a county, they are the top figures in a county that ordinary landlords and gentry dare not provoke. Overlord.

But if you talk about breaking the sky, it's just a rank of eighth and ninth rank, which is a fart.

These seven or eight Datong Academy students died in their own jurisdiction. The county magistrate couldn't get any good money, and neither could they.

The county magistrate's face changed again and again, and finally said in a low voice: "Xianzun, this is difficult to handle, we can't deal with it, report it!"

The magistrate of Rongchang thought for a while, then nodded fiercely: "You go to the magistrate's place in person!"

Soon, the prefect of Chongqing learned that Rongchang County had discovered that a Datong Academy student had been murdered.

Immediately afterwards, students from several surrounding states knew about it, and then things suddenly became serious!

Seven or eight students of Datong Academy were brutally slaughtered. The thieves murdered these students with incomparable cruelty and exposed their corpses in the wilderness. Sichuan was in an uproar!
This is a student. The status of a student has always been high in Ming Dynasty. After all, he is a future official and a pillar of the imperial court. Seven or eight students were killed. The Chongqing government can't cover this!
Students from Datong Academy from Chengdu, Jiading, and Luzhou all ran to Chongqing and asked the prefect of Chongqing to find out the truth.

"Students, students, I guarantee that we will find out the truth and never let those students who were brutally killed die in ignorance. We will give their families and everyone an explanation." The prefect of Chongqing looked majestic and upright Speaking in words.

With grief and indignation on their faces, the students bowed deeply to the prefect of Chongqing: "Students, thank you Mingfu!"

The kind words comforted the students, and the prefect of Chongqing immediately sighed, his face was full of exhaustion.

"Why is Mingfu so worried?"

The prefect of Chongqing looked at the master with a rather bitter expression: "Do you still need to say it? Ordinary people don't know about this matter, so they can't find it out. Those students don't know about it, so I can't find it out yet?"

"The police in Rongchang County can see that there are traces of horses trampled on, and the people who did it are fierce and come from the army. Where can there be such a person?"

There are many things that ordinary people can't understand, and many gentry and landlords can't understand. Even in local yamen, some strange things are not clear to ordinary people.

The identity is not to a certain level, the height of the station is not high enough, all you can see is the surface and a fog.

But when it comes to the prefect of Chongqing, the prefect of a prefecture has millions of people under his command, how many things can the Chongqing government want to keep from him?

What's more, when these students are dead, you don't have to care about who did it on the surface, as long as you think about who benefits the most.

Ordinary people don't know the contradictions between the court and the local government, and how many obstacles there are in the implementation of the New Deal. Don't they know?
Knowing the secrets of the court and the local government, one can tell who did it at a glance, but so what?

The master saw that his magistrate was so worried, so he smiled and said: "What does that have to do with the Ming government? The Ming government has ordered a strict investigation and sent people to assist the magistrate of Rongchang County. Presumably the magistrate of Rongchang County will soon give Ming government and students A satisfactory answer."

The prefect of Chongqing shook his head: "The county magistrate of Rongchang will definitely come up with an answer. The students and the people may be satisfied, but will the higher authorities be satisfied?"

The master was dumbfounded, and then laughed: "Will that one still be able to clash with the clan and vassal over a few students?"

The prefect of Chongqing looked to the north and murmured, "Who knows?"

"Master, you may not feel it, but as the magistrate of Chongqing Prefecture, I have noticed it."

The master asked blankly: "What did Mingfu feel?"

The prefect of Chongqing's voice was cold, with a hint of panic: "Storm, an unspeakable storm."

"A storm is gathering in the sky above Sichuan, and nothing can be seen right now, but when it breaks out, there will be lightning, thunder, squalls, and torrential rain. Who can escape?"

The master doesn't understand, but the prefect of Chongqing sees it very clearly. Maybe the cabinet doesn't care if these students die, but Datong Academy can't care less. How many prefects are there?

There are also all the towns in the military, and the unified association, and the generals of the new army, which ones are not from the Datong Academy and from the New Party?

Contradictions between the new party and the old party are unavoidable, especially when the new party takes advantage of the general trend to implement new policies.

How many people's interests have been harmed by the implementation of the New Deal over the years, and how many conflicts between the new party and the old party?

At present, although the new party has not formally attacked the Southwest, the old party is already desperately resisting. The death of these students may become a fuse, a fuse that ignites the southwestern rivalry between the new party and the old party.

The prefect of a prefecture already knows a lot of news. The prefect of Chongqing knows that he may be trapped in a whirlpool, but he is powerless, even the prefect of a prefecture cannot break free.

"Hey, I hope this Sichuan land can be peaceful for a while." The prefect of Chongqing sighed faintly.

The matter did not go as expected by the prefect of Chongqing, and the magistrate of Rongchang County soon found the trace of the thief. With the cooperation of mobilizing the entire Rongchang County and several neighboring counties, the trace of the thief was quickly exposed. Next, Rongchang County and several surrounding counties dispatched fast patrols to arrest hundreds of people, plus five hundred township braves, and hundreds of soldiers from Chongqing Prefecture surrounded and suppressed the gang of thieves in the mountains.

The dozens of thieves resisted fiercely and were all killed. A large amount of looted gold and silver property, as well as some change and luggage of college students were collected on the spot.

The case is now considered closed, and the students who came from Sichuan also came to express their gratitude and pay homage to the classmate who died tragically.

After the case was closed, the students did not leave, but temporarily stayed in a village outside Rongchang County.

Chengdu, Chongqing, Luzhou, Jiading, Xuzhou, Shunqing, Bozhou.
Students from various prefectures gathered together, more than a hundred people. These students wore white ribbons on their heads and waists, with mournful faces and a heavy atmosphere.

After a long time, someone said: "This matter is definitely not just done by a group of thieves."

Another person said: "You and I are both aware of this matter, but what can we do? The people behind the scenes have no clues, and there is no evidence, so we can only close the case."

"But Brother Li, did they die for nothing?! Those thieves just let them continue to get away with it?" Someone said in grief.

"It must not be like this!"

"Yes, I'm waiting for revenge!"

"This is a declaration of war against my Datong Academy. They want us to be afraid, make us afraid!"

"I wait for scholars, report to the country, and go down to the people, how can I be afraid of death?!"

"This must have been done by Zhu Zhishu, the King of Shu! I have already found out that Brother Li and the others were expelled from the Chengdu Mansion by the steward of the King's Mansion of Shu. It is because Brother Li is promoting the new government policy that it is so terrible! This matter! We must not give up like this!"

"That's right, the hatred of nine generations can still be avenged! How can we turn a blind eye to it!"

"Everyone! From my point of view, we still have to be patient in the short term. We must make Zhu Zhishu think that we are afraid, afraid, let him get carried away, let him show his feet, so that we can take advantage of it!"

"Yes, the temporary retreat is not for shrinking, but for better revenge! We continue to mobilize the people in various state capitals. The King of Shu has perverted the law in Sichuan, extorting money and oppressing the people. Over the years, the people have been forced to have their families ruined and their wives and children scattered. Now in Sichuan In the face of disaster, the king of Shu still imposes heavy taxes on the people. How can the people’s grievances boil? Just a little flame, this people’s grievances can be turned into monstrous anger, and Zhu Zhishu will be burned!"

"That's right, the people in Sichuan have already been overwhelmed. If we guide them, Zhu Zhishu will definitely set himself on fire!"

The students have learned a lot of skills in Datong Academy, full of passion and pride, and now Zhu Zhishu's low-handed methods not only did not scare the students, but aroused their anger.

As the prefect of Chongqing said, the storm has begun to gather in Sichuan.
