Daming, originally wanted to destroy it, but the system came

Chapter 376: The grudges between the Hakka people and the Cantonese people?

Although the Dongguan County Magistrate had already explained the misunderstanding, Zhu Chu did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he took a rest in the city that night, not to mention the dual cultivation activities with his wife.

Zhu Ming said that he wanted to help Tang Xin catch up with the progress of his cultivation as soon as possible.

Tang Xin didn't know his true intention, but her character was that she would never regret it for the rest of her life. Since she had given it to him, there was only the difference between zero times and countless times.

And now that he has two women by his side, Zhu Ming can finally vent his feelings unscrupulously without making himself uncomfortable anymore.

Although I can't fully enjoy it, at least I can eat half full.

Don't mention these.

On the second day, Zhu Zhen did not rush to Longchuan County, but took a small team to make a special trip to Xin'an County.

Today's Xin'an County is naturally not as prosperous as it was in later generations, and is even just a small shabby village at the port.

To put it bluntly, there is not even a city wall, and it is even just a fence made of some wicker sticks as a fence.

Most of the people who come here to cultivate land are poor people who cannot live in the local area. They want to cultivate more fields so that they can make a fortune.

Because of this, some friction will inevitably occur during the reclamation process.

The Hakka shouted at another Cantonese in Hakka: "This is my territory."

The Cantonese people on the other side were not to be outdone and shouted in Cantonese: "You are looking for death, you street boy."

There are also Chaozhou people who keep silent and secretly dig a few more shovels there.

It's just so lively.

However, there are three dialects being spoken here, and the quarrel is still in full swing. It doesn't affect the speed of reclamation. You can tell me whether it's strange or not.

The main reason is that in the south, there are two mature seasons a year. They are eager to open up fields in order to catch up with the busy farming season of the next season, so they quarrel and bicker at the same time, but do not dare to waste time.

Zhu Chu was speechless. The quarrel was a quarrel, but since there was no fight or a fight, there was no need to worry about it.

After all, if the people do not raise officials, they will not be held accountable.

So Zhu Ming silently took his people back, and then led the army to leave Dongguan County and go straight to Longchuan County.

The day before the end of June, Zhu Zhen finally arrived in Longchuan County.

As soon as he arrived in Longchuan County, Zhu Zhen frowned.

I saw that the gate of the county seat of Longchuan County was closed tightly, and the city was completely silent, as if it was a dead city.

"Hua Rong, go call the city gate," Zhu Zhen said.

Hua Rong was shocked and secretly glanced at Zhu Chu. He saw that although His Highness was expressionless, his cold tone and that terrifying aura of being calm and self-defeating made him understand that something was going to happen.

If this Thousand Household Guard really breaks the law and violates disciplines as the Dongguan County Magistrate said, and even bullies the people to that extent, not only will he die, but his whole family will also be imprisoned.

Hua Rong gritted his teeth and quickly stepped forward and shouted: "Open the city gate. The imperial envoy, the King of Dian, is arriving. Why don't you quickly leave the city to greet him?"

Inside the city, I saw clear barriers on the streets. There were two teams on the left and right. One of them was a troop wearing the Ming Army's standard armor, while the opposite side was filled with countless civilians holding hoes or sickles.

The two sides were confronting each other when Hua Rong's voice came in.

"Li, let's stop now. Since the King of Dian is here, how dare we offend? How about we let the King of Dian do justice to us?" shouted the guard of Qianhu Station in Longchuan County.

An old man opposite looked at him angrily. He seemed to be of great status and was about to speak when he heard this.

Someone next to him whispered: "Uncle Li, that is an imperial envoy, and he is also a prince. You don't dare to be rude."

The old man surnamed Li then said: "Son, go and open the door. I want to see if even the prince of the Zhu family will side with you."

The corners of Qianhu Guard's lips twitched and he couldn't help but said: "Boss Lao Li, you don't dare to say this to the prince in person. You are not afraid of death, but I am afraid of death. I don't care if you are affected by the three Yi tribes. If the nine tribes are implicated, , I’ve suffered a huge loss.”

"You bastard, even if I am executed by the Nine Tribes, what does it have to do with you? Send Xue'er back to me, otherwise I will never be done with you," the old man surnamed Li suddenly cursed.

Qianhu Guards sighed helplessly, turned to his subordinates and said, "Go and open the city gate."

"But sir, if His Highness sees this scene, how should you explain it?" someone under his command asked.

Qianhu Guard rolled his eyes: "As for the big fuss made by Mr. Li, I'm afraid it has already reached the ears of General Hua, and he will summon me for questioning soon. Anyway, Xue'er and I are in love. Yue, if this old boss Li doesn't show his loyalty to you, the worst I can do is quit guarding, and I'll elope with Xue'er."

The subordinate looked askance at his master, you are so shameless.

What's more, everyone in the county knows that this is the only daughter of the Li family. Do you want to make her have no offspring? Or do you want to force Li Yuxue's parents to death?

But since he was no longer afraid, his men naturally did not dare to neglect him, and someone quickly went to open the city gate.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Zhen, with a cold face, led an army of 25,000 people to surge forward.

This scene shocked everyone.

In fact, when Zhu Zhen came in, he was also stunned.

On the main road in the city, the Ming army was blocked by the people of the city.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Ming snorted coldly and shouted: "How dare the prisoners make trouble? Come on, let me capture them all. If there is any resistance, I will kill them on the spot."

"Here."

The entire army responded in unison, and the momentum made the people tremble.

Even the guards at the Qianhu Station in Longchuan County were startled. They quickly knelt down and shouted: "Your Highness clearly knows that there is no civil unrest in this area. It is just a personal grudge between the father-in-law of the last general and the last general."

"What's this mess?" Zhu Zhen looked at the guard, his nose almost crooked with anger.

Although I had heard some rumors before, I saw such a scene as soon as I came in. I can't let it go by without blaming everyone.

D? You are about to start a civil uprising, what do you want? Besiege my Ming army?

This is a matter of principle and must not be ignored.

Qianhu Guards quickly rushed to the opposite side and shouted: "Boss Lao Li, do you want the whole city to die because of you? Isn't it because you look down on me as a stinker and don't want Xue'er to marry me? But who was it in the first place? You rescued Xue'er from the bandits on the mountain stronghold? We are in love with each other. If you still insist on going your own way, I will elope with Xue'er."

"You," the old man surnamed Li was angry, but he saw the sudden army quickly surrounding them, and they were all cavalry.

As long as the so-called King of Dian gives an order, the people of this city will be destroyed.

The old man surnamed Li almost gritted his teeth, but in the end he could only beat his chest and said: "Folks, that's it, that's it. But little bastard, don't even think about entering my Li family's door. Even if I get killed here, I won’t compromise.”

With his words, the people on the street quickly put down their sickles and hoes. Looking at the cold eyes of the surrounding cavalry and the cold-gleaming spears, they knelt down one after another.

Zhu Zhen looked at this scene and no longer knew how to solve it.

What exactly is going on?

"Go and call me those Qianhu guards," Zhu Zhen said angrily.

Hua Rong went there personally and brought the person.

"Your Highness, you are a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old," the Qianhu guards were clever and knelt down in front of Zhu Chu with great respect.

"What on earth is going on?" Zhu Xi sat on the horse and asked coldly.

The guard of Qianhu sighed and spoke eloquently.

It turns out that among the Hakkas, the surname Li is a wealthy family, and it is one of the three major surnames of the Hakkas in Guangdong.

This Longchuan County is an ancient Hakka town, and the local dialect is also Hakka. You can imagine how high the Li family's status here is.

It's just that this generation of the Li family only has one legitimate daughter, Li Yuxue. However, Hakka customs do not favor the practice of recruiting children, so the head of the Li family has always cherished his daughter and has been reluctant to marry her out. In a flash, he is almost twenty-four and has no husband. .

Li Yuxue was also very anxious. She became depressed and almost fell ill.

Just last year, Li Yuxue wanted to go out to relax, but she accidentally encountered a group of bandits and kidnapped her.

After receiving the news, Qianhu Guards quickly went up the mountain to rescue people. Not only did they wipe out a group of bandits, but they also rescued Li Yuxue. It can be said that they were heroes saving the beauty. From then on, the two of them formed a good relationship.

"But this old boss Li doesn't know what's good and what's good. No matter who I look for as a matchmaker or even the county magistrate to visit me, he won't agree." Qianhu Guards was very angry when he said this, knowing that the other party looked down on him. Identity is nothing to be polite about.

"Then you snatched away this girl?" Zhu Ming had already understood, feeling angry and funny in his heart. What is this all about?

The version I heard from the Dongguan County Magistrate before was that the local garrison was bullying people and robbing women. But after entering the city, what I saw was a civil uprising. After further inquiries, this version came out again.

Are you kidding me?

"No, Your Highness, this old man Li wants Xue'er to never marry. Xue'er came to me and said that if I dare to send her back, she will die in front of me. I have no choice. I really don't want to, at the end of the day The generals are planning to elope with Xueer and travel around the world," Qianhu Guards cried.

Zhu Qi pressed his hand on his forehead and felt his brain nerves hopping.

Don't blame him for having a headache. This is all a trivial matter. As for you, do you want to rebel in the whole city?

As for? As for?

If you really ask, it is true that the benevolent sees benevolence and the wise see wisdom.

Not to mention that family status existed in ancient times, isn't it the same even in modern times?

In fact, this kind of thing is not uncommon. For example, in the story of Liang Zhu, there is a version that it was because Ma Wencai had a good family background that Zhu Yingtai's family forcibly separated her and Liang Shanbo, which eventually turned into a tragedy.

Moreover, the Li family is a Hakka, but the Qianhu guard is from Guangfu. Even if they are all Han, there is inevitably some prejudice.

Zhu Chu was so angry that he sent someone to call the old boss Li and scolded him face to face: "Just for this little thing, you want to raise your arms and start a civil uprising? What a great skill. This world is the Ming Dynasty. The world of you, or the world of your Li family and Hakka people?"

"The people can protest today's affairs, and the people can protest anything tomorrow. Do you really think the imperial court dare not kill you?"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone in the city changed.

The old boss Li knelt on the ground and shouted that he was wronged: "Your Highness Mingjian, as a father, can't I make the decision on my daughter's marriage? Are you going to help a tyrant to rape and rob people's daughters?"

"So what if he robbed him?" Zhu Ming shouted angrily: "Don't rush me, let's not mention that it was your daughter who took the initiative to find him. Even if he robbed the daughter of the people, it was his crime before. But you don't I shouldn’t, I shouldn’t raise my arms and ask the people to obey. Let me ask you, is our Ming Dynasty as cruel and unkind as the Great Yuan Dynasty? Do we need you to rise up and rebel? "

How did Ming Dynasty start? Didn't they just take advantage of the situation and rise up, claiming to be an uprising, but actually rebelling, and this is how the Ming Dynasty was established?

After all, the Mongol Empire had already destroyed the Song Dynasty, became the common ruler of the world, and gained orthodox status. The rebel army was indeed a rebellion.

And this moment, isn't it like that moment?

It is still the 27th year of Hongwu, and Zhu Yuanzhang is not dead yet, so you are anxious to rebel?

"Believe it or not, I give an order and all of you will die, the whole city will die," Zhu Zhen raised his right hand, and as soon as his hand fell, he would kill all the people.

Even an infant child would fall to death.

This kind of thing can be big or small. Once it is labeled as a rebellion, no one can stay.

"Your Highness, why do you want to force us to death?" Old Man Li was still crying.

This old guy really refuses to give in, right?

Zhu Ming laughed angrily: "Okay. Then I will be lenient, but you will not be able to escape the death penalty. Come on, let me exile this old guy to Yunnan to open up wasteland. Then I will see how you can stop it. Male It’s time for a girl to get married. People are in love with each other. If you insist on making trouble like this, wait until we get to Yunnan to see how I deal with you."

Yunnan is Zhu Chu's territory. Once there, there will naturally be ways to make this old guy want to die.

What's more, as long as he is exiled, no one will be able to stop the Li family's daughter from marrying whomever she wants.

"Your Highness, my daughter, our family is all Hakka. But he is from Guangfu," Old Man Li pointed at Qianhu Guards and continued to hold on.

In fact, the Hakka people are also Han people. The reason why the Hakka people are called Hakka people can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty.

At that time, it was because of the relationship between household registration. To put it simply, household registration was divided into host and guest. Immigrants and naturalized people were all registered as guest, and those with guest registration were called Hakkas.

So the Hakka people are originally Han people.

But why is Old Man Li so worried about Qianhu Guards being from Guangfu?

This is because during the war years, the Hakka people had to run around and flee.

As a result, the Hakkas moved to many places, and during this period they inevitably had some disputes with the locals.

Therefore, in Guangxi, the Hakka people fight with the Zhuang people; in Jiangxi, the Hakka people fight with the Jiangyou people; in Guangdong, the Hakka people naturally fight with the Cantonese people.

Because of the harsh living conditions, the Hakka people showed their bravery and fighting skills in armed fighting, and in many areas they were able to turn against the Hakkas.

However, due to the strong influence of the Cantonese people, the Hakkas did not gain the upper hand.

Although Xin'an County in Dongguan County seems to be very lively.

But in fact, the Hakka people and the Cantonese people can be regarded as having a 'blood feud'.

So it's not just about family status, even if Zhu Chu comes forward, Mr. Lao Li still refuses to compromise easily.

If you want to kill or cut into pieces, you can do whatever you want. Do you want to marry my daughter? There is no door.

No wonder it caused such a big fuss.

Zhu Ming sighed. It seemed that he was too tough. He couldn't really slaughter everyone in Longchuan County, right? This is not a foreign enemy.

Zhu Ming had no choice but to do the next best thing and said: "I said you, old man, are really a stinky stone in the latrine. It's really smelly and hard. I can't even act as a matchmaker?"

Old Man Li shook his head. He was obviously kneeling, but he was so stubborn. This was the only one he could do.

Zhu Zhen was so angry that he pointed his finger at him: "I will give you one last chance."

Old Man Li looked up at the sky and sneered: "I'm not afraid of death."

"Why bother? We are all Han people and citizens of the Ming Dynasty. Why should we be so clearly distinguished and why should we be so ruthless?" Zhu Ming persuaded again.

Old Man Li was a little surprised. He didn't expect this prince to speak softly.

But he still refused to give in and compromise: "Your Highness, I only have a daughter, and I want her to marry a Cantonese? Not only do you want me to have no heirs, but you also want to dig up my ancestral graves?"

"No, it's not that," Zhu Xin said, are you Hakkas and Cantonese really so opposed to each other?

"How about this?" Zhu Ming thought of a compromise and said: "Since your family only has one daughter, the daughter will eventually get married. Why not let the young couple have more children, and then let their first How about all the children, regardless of gender, take your last name?"

Unexpectedly, Old Man Li just looked at Zhu Zhen expressionlessly.

And the guard of thousands of households said: "Your Highness, the last general is also named Li."

Good guy, Zhu Min called him a good guy, and immediately raised his eyebrows and shouted angrily: "Isn't this the best? You all have the last name Li, how can you write two Lis in one character? What's the difference between his Li and your Li?" Those who don’t know think he’s your grandson. No, he’s your grandson.”

It seemed that Old Man Li still wanted to argue.

Zhu Ming was already taking the trouble and turned to the guard and said: "Li Shou, I have made the decision for you today. You should go back to prepare for the wedding now and pay a visit to the church first. Then you will enter the bridal chamber tonight and go there with the big fat boy in your arms after October. Come visit me. I wonder if this old man dares to kick you out."

Old Man Li opened his mouth and looked at Zhu Zhen in stunned silence, "Your Highness, you should be a human being."

This is the Ming Dynasty, you are simply shocking, you are simply a monster.

Old Man Li covered his heart and almost died of anger.

But Li Shoubei still asked: "Your Highness, is this really possible?"

"I will make the decision for you," Zhu Zhen waved his hand with great force.

"No," Old Man Li was lucky enough to go over and shouted: "You are shameless, and I still want it. Damn you little bastard."

"Huh? Are you scolding me? Do you know who my father is?" Zhu Ming even took the initiative to scold me and glanced over with squinted eyes.

Mr. Lao Li was about to be squeezed to death. With a sad face, he cried out sadly: "Your Highness, I only have a daughter."

"So they all agreed to let their child's surname be Li."

Be a human being, Your Highness.

"Your Highness, he is from Guangfu and I am a Hakka."

"Hey, we are all Han people, and we are all people of the Ming Dynasty. There is no distinction between them."

"Your Highness."

Boss Li cried.

Zhu Ming, on the other hand, turned around and ordered to the soldiers: "Disperse the people. Go and do what they are supposed to do. What's the point of gathering here? And don't forget to have a feast at night."

Old Man Li finally rolled his eyes and fainted.
