my days with tyrants

Chapter 327 Dragon Slaying Technique

The next thing is simple.

The people of Dengzhou in the carnival, under the leadership of their Liu Qingtian, quickly mopped up the elders in the city who participated in the Loyalty Society.

Copy the house!
Legal raid.

Liu Qingtian is the magistrate of Dengzhou.

When there is no Zhizhou in Dengzhou, and the Tongzhi who was in charge of Dengzhou's affairs disappeared, he is the highest official in Dengzhou, and whoever listens to him is to listen to the court.

I have to say that Tongzhi disappeared at the right time.

Of course, he was really missing.

Because of the intensified local fighting, on the one hand, he was afraid that the court would convict him;In short, he, the magistrate who was still holding on, was also defeated in the face of changes in the situation, but his escape made Liu Wen the highest magistrate in Dengzhou.

Then Liu Qingtian, who was indoctrinated with dragon-slaying skills at Mount Wutai University, was like a fish in water.

The first step is to take the people to copy the gentry's house.

The second step, as a local official of the imperial court, is to have a public trial in the state government, so that the common people will expose the crimes of these elders and sages, not only the current ones, but also those from the past, including the seniors of his family. Let all the people listen to it.

The third part directly divides the fields.

After ransacking the house, of course the property is lost. After the property is lost, these properties are official land, and the official land is decided by the local officials.

The tenants who originally cultivated continued to cultivate, and before the imperial court formulated the latest system, they temporarily paid taxes according to the tax amount of the official land...

What, tax exemption this year?

Ah, then you don't have to pay anything for now.

No gentry can handle this set, no matter how powerful your locality is, whether you are a talented person, or a bandit collaborator with someone in the mountains, in front of the people of Hezhou who support Liu Qingtian like carnival, they are all scumbags.In just half a month, Liu Wen completed his control of Dengzhou. The intensified fighting was gone, and he fantasized that the Loyalty Club, which could control the place, would be wiped out, and order would be restored in all the subordinate counties. The people began to clear the land in various places.

As for the land of Tie Xuan's house, that has long been unclear.

Besides, he took the initiative to implement the public land law.

Of course you have to lead by example.

At the same time, Li Xin of Xiangyang also completed his implicated ransacking of the homes of the gentry in Xiangyang...

It is implicated.

The torture made the gentry caught by him bite indiscriminately.

The bitten ones were taken to prison and tortured.

Just keep on biting more.

He is the pusher.

In the Ming Dynasty, even the magistrate could interrogate officials, and even the governor could be impeached...

Yuan Keli, the famous governor of Liaodong in the late Ming Dynasty, became famous when Governor Yingtian framed the prefect of Suzhou. He used Suzhou to preside over the trial, which not only protected the prefect of Suzhou, but also impeached Governor Yingtian so that he was forced to resign.Li Xin, who was in charge, seemed to be possessed by Zhu Yuanzhang's prison soul, and quickly made Xiangyang Mansion cry. A large number of gentry, regardless of whether they were really guilty or were bitten out by relatives and friends who couldn't bear the torture, in short, joined the ranks of family ruin , Let people fully see what is the county magistrate who broke the family and destroyed the family.

But they also got impeachment from officials at all levels in Huguang and Henan provinces...

Wuchang.

Huguang chief envoy.

"this?"

Zheng Ci somewhat could not help but look at the impeachment memorial in his hand.

"Zhigang is still a child at heart!"

He continued.

He is opposite the Huguang Chief Envoy, and Li Zhigang, who is currently in charge of the Huguang Political Envoy, is watching him silently. Li Shen's real name is Gang, but he just uses his words. Xie Jin is a good friend. He was the first to propose Zhu Di move the capital .

"Otherwise, what should we do? Is there any good strategy for Yanjia?"

According to the envoy Huang Xin said.

He is a native of Pengze, Jiangxi Province, and started as a student of the ether as a censor.

"As the company is a standard company, what should we do? Do we still need someone to express it?

Good strategy?

A good strategy is needed for this matter?

The government under the jurisdiction of Huguang promoted officials to create unjust prisons, and the victims complained to the procuratorate, and the public procuratorate ordered them to come to Huicheng to bring them to justice according to law. Isn't it a public duty?Why do you need to ask me how to do it?It's not that the public doesn't know what to do, but it's that they don't dare?Don't forget, gentlemen, Yang Feng doesn't need to implement the public land law now, and he knows he can't do it now, but he can nibble at it.

One prefecture and one state, a little bit.

Those unscrupulous people know what they know, and they will listen to whoever benefits them.

Yang Feng gave them benefits, and they listened to Yang Feng.

Under the banner of confiscating the crimes, the property and land of those gentry were divided, and those unscrupulous people would be devoted to him. A single unscrupulous person in Xiangyang Prefecture would be devoted to him, that would be tens of thousands of soldiers.Look at what Liu Wen did, in just half a month, at most he brought [-] young and strong, and he grew up like a bandit.He just took these young men to share the land of the gentry, now he wants these people to do what he wants, these people will listen to him, then one day Yang Feng will send the same minions in Nanyang Mansion, and the latter will also learn from Nanyang Mansion If they do this, the gentry of Nanyang Mansion dare to resist, will Liu Wen take tens of thousands of young and strong to destroy them?

Then Nanyang Mansion could not escape his clutches.

If Li Xin succeeds in Xiangyang and Yang Feng sends another minion to the Anlu Mansion, will the Anlu gentry still have the strength to resist?

How many years will it take for Huguang to fall?

If Huguang falls, how many years will it take for Jiangxi to fall?

The father dared not dare at this time, the next day Yang Feng's minions led the troublemakers to divide the father's property, don't regret it when the father's property is divided. "

Zheng Ci said.

Huang Xin was silent.

"I don't want to say anything more. I'm just a commoner now, but I've been wandering in the rivers and lakes. It's just that you don't want to make me laugh again after ten years."

Zheng Ci said.

"It is true that a certain person can be brought to justice according to the investigation, but what is the use of this? It is still nothing more than impeachment at best. Then Yang Feng's imperial decree must be released after all. After all, the court is in his hands. Unless we don't recognize the court, otherwise Either way, in the end, he has the final say."

Huang Xin said.

"no matter what?"

Zheng Ci laughed again.

"Gongzhen is that no matter what, you still dare not do anything?

Yang Feng can indeed release people by imperial decree.

However, in Huguang, the procuratorate is in the prison, and it is up to the public to decide whether to release him or not. Yang Feng ordered him to be released by imperial decree. Wouldn't the public continue to prosecute him with new charges?When a good man goes to prison, he may die. If he goes to prison, how many days he can live is not a matter of public opinion.Don't say that you have never had a prisoner who died violently or committed suicide in fear of crime in the prison of the Procuratorate in Huguang.

Don't you even understand these things?
Do you not understand or dare not? "

Zheng Ci said sarcastically.

Huang Xin was silent again.

Of course he is very clear that these can be done.

He is an envoy.

If a victim came to sue the Xiangyang government officials for torture and torture, fabricating charges to persecute innocent people, then he, the prosecutor, has the right to call him to the provincial capital for confrontation, and Li Xin can be arrested immediately when he arrives, and then he will be impeached for his crimes.Yang Feng definitely couldn't ignore his cronies, and finally ordered him to release him by imperial decree, but he immediately found out new crimes and continued to impeach Li Xin. The sky also died suddenly.Of course, veteran officials like Huang Xin understand this set of operations. He has worked as an inspector for many years, so what he doesn't understand, but the problem is the consequences of doing so...

Openly hostile to Yang Feng.

He was dismissed by Yang Feng in a rage, and even Yang Feng charged him with a crime and arrested him.

Intellectually, he can't control it.

but……

Zheng Ci was right.

Yang Feng is just playing cannibalism. He doesn't have enough minions, and the number of troops under his control is not enough to suppress the resistance of the world. After all, he is only a foreign envoy in theory, and the troops are all Ming. If the vassal kings join in again, the army controlled by the court may not all listen to him.

They are Zhu's army, not his army.

But he can nibble.

One province, one state, a little bit.

And in these prefectures where the land is divided, the people are truly loyal to him, and these people will fight for him when necessary.

That's not fighting for him either.

Instead, they fought to defend the fields they were allotted.

When this cannibalization reaches a certain level, when he has trained enough minions and the number of people loyal to him is enough, completely destroying the world of the gentry is just an order.At that time, countless Li Xin and Liu Wen would bring millions of people who had been assigned to the fields to accomplish everything he wanted to do.

This is inevitable.

People like Huang Xin are very clear about it, and it won't take a few years.

Thousands of students graduate from Wutaishan University every year, and it is still expanding, and a second school will be opened. For insurance and to take care of the north, this Wutaishan University is going to open in Taiyuan.So in at most five years, Yang Feng's ability to cultivate talents will double several times, and it will not be a problem to graduate three or four thousand a year. At that time, all officials in the Ming court-controlled area will become his minions.So it will only take five years to reach the top of the sky, and in five years, even if he builds two such prefectures a year, he will have the population of a province as a basis in five years, and there is Shanxi in the north, and Liaodong, Huining, which he controls. These border towns.

Who can compete at that time.

So if he endured for a day, his strength would increase by one point.

If you want to resist, you have to do it early.

but……

Resistance will kill you.

Huang Xin and Li Zhigang glanced at each other, and then sighed at the same time.

After a few minutes.

"It's useless, it's all like this, and everyone is pretending to be dead. From now on, it will be on the neck of the knife holder. I guess I won't have the guts to resist."

Outside the chief envoy's yamen, Zheng Gui, who had been by Zheng Ci's side all the time, said somewhat helplessly.

Well, he was sent by Yang Feng. In fact, he also graduated from Mount Wutai University, but instead of taking the imperial examination, he was directly selected into the newly established reconnaissance department of Jinyiwei.This was even established in secret, except for Jin Yiwei Commander Song Zhong and other major generals, ordinary Jin Yiwei didn't know about it.But this division is at the same level as the Zhenfu Division, so now Jinyiwei has been gradually perfected, and the Beiya is full-time prison, and it is their job to arrest and interrogate civil and military officials.The Nanzhen Fusi is the internal discipline, in charge of the crimes within the Jinyiwei, and the Investigation Department is the spies on foreign missions, a full-time intelligence agency, not only within the Ming Dynasty, but also for external intelligence.

"Don't worry, they are not in a hurry, why are we in a hurry?
Besides, even if they want to do something, they have to prepare it first, like Huang Xin, they have to make arrangements in advance, like children and grandchildren, they have to be sent to Guangzhou first.

Besides, they are not enough.

The whole of Huguang and even other provinces must support them.

The most important thing is to have the support of the army. "

Zheng Ci said calmly.

At this moment, a group of cavalry in front came rushing forward and stopped in front of the door. A red-robed general dismounted with guards. He glanced at Zheng Ci and Zheng Ci suspiciously, but he obviously didn't know Zheng Ci. He just took a look and ignored it, but walked into the chief envoy's yamen with a gloomy face.

A few guards remained outside.

Zheng Gui immediately leaned over.

"This military master, who was this general just now?"

he asked.

As he spoke, he handed a bill to the leading guard.

The latter was surprised, but still smiled.

"Our general is the commander of Huguangdu, and his surname is Xue Yupeng."

He said.

"It turned out to be Xue Tongzhi, but Xue Tongzhi seemed a little angry. We are grain merchants who came to Huguang. Is there something wrong again?"

Zheng Gui said and handed over another one.

The guards took it clearly.

This status is very reasonable. The most feared thing in grain sales is the unrest in the place. This is not to sell back to sell, and the price of grain will be high if there is chaos.

"It's none of your business. Our general has a piece of land in Xiangyang. Recently, the Xiangyang mansion promoted an official. Because he was intercepted and killed by the local gentry, he was taking revenge on the local gentry. He arrested hundreds of gentry in Xiangyang mansion and ransacked their homes. Our general's land belongs to him alone. The in-laws were in charge, and they were copied by the official. The son of the in-law came to ask for help. Although our general is a big official, we can't control the people, so we came to discuss with Li Shen, and asked the chief envoy to take care of this official. You guys Don’t go to the north for grain sellers, there’s been some chaos in the north recently.”

said the guard.

"Thanks!"

Zheng Gui cupped his hands and said.

Then he came back, and Zheng Ci left quickly.

"Li Xin doesn't know that these properties belong to Xue Peng, does he?"

Zheng Gui said doubtfully as he walked.

"Young people, somewhat arrogant, Taizu didn't take much care of things in the later years. It's not just the gentry who are annexing land in the local area. The generals in the Weisuo are also the same, but they don't dare to make it clear, but these are no different from the gentry.

In another 30 years they will all be the same.

But now Huang Xin and Li Zhigang should have courage, right? "

Zheng Ci said with a deep smile.

He was right.

The next day, the son of Xue Peng's in-laws went to the Prosecutor's Department to beat the drums and complained, claiming that Li Xin, the Xiangyang government's push-off officer, framed his father, arrested him and imprisoned him, tortured him, and then used his father's confession to confiscate his family property. Divide his land.

Poor his father, a virtuous old man who repaired bridges and repaired roads, gave porridge and medicine, worked diligently all his life, even reluctant to eat meat, so he saved two thousand acres of fertile land, but he was directly confiscated by this dog official.

Where is the heaven!
Snow in June!
In short, he cried like snow in June in front of the inspector's office.

His cry finally moved Huang Xin, the procurator of Huguang with a strong sense of justice. The latter immediately wrote to Xiangyang Prefecture, asking Xiangyang Prefecture to push official Li Xin to Wuchang to confront him.
