Win the Ding 1617

ps: Continue to ask for a monthly pass.thank you all.

Standing in front of his own troops, Wu Liuqi was quite moved when he saw the men in the queue who were long and short.

The soldiers in this guard battalion are all his old background and belong to the most elite part of his army.

"All uncles and brothers!"

He stood in front of the queue with an iron rod in his hand, mobilizing with this group of tough guys in his native dialect.

"How have you been these few days?"

"it is good!"

"If we want to live a good life in the South China Army and let others look at us high, we have to show some real skills! Only then can we live a comfortable life! Brothers, tell me, are you a seed?"

"Which one doesn't have a seed?!"

"Okay! I'll lead the team. They've already broken the city, and they've given us the credit for being the first to climb the city! I'll give you credit for breaking the city in one fell swoop and planting our flag on the top of the city!"

"kill!"

A burst of trumpets sounded loudly, and the mortar bombardment on the top of the city stopped temporarily. Hundreds of Wu Liuqi's soldiers and civilian husbands who were responsible for carrying the shells for the mortar team immediately sat down on the ground, opened their mouths and panted heavily. In northern Guangdong in the twelfth lunar month of winter, the top of the head is full of heat, and the hair is soaked in sweat.

The artillery team moved several big Buddha Lang machines to the bottom of the city, raising the muzzle as high as possible, aiming at the gap in the city wall.

Wu Liuqi held the iron rod in one hand and the recognition flag in the other, and with a roar of a tiger, the crowd rushed forward.

Behind them are hundreds of soldiers from the newly formed brigade and guard battalion, each holding a knife and gun.

Taoyuan Village, this village has never been breached for hundreds of years since it was completed in the late Song Dynasty.All in one go!

. . . . . .

Along the passage paved with countless straw bags outside the east city wall, and along the slope formed by a mixture of broken bricks, rocks, soil and straw bags, Ou Dapeng slowly climbed up under the guard of a dozen personal soldiers. Upper city head.

At the breach at the top of the city, less than 15 meters wide, there were nearly a hundred corpses lying there. Hundreds of civilians used the door panels to carry the wounded and surviving wounds down the city to the health team for treatment.

As far as the eye can see, there are soldiers who died in hand-to-hand combat when the walled city was breached. Eyes are full of blinding houses and the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke and burnt smell.

Looking down from the wall of the village, dozens of fires burst out on all sides of the village.Countless women and children cried loudly.In some quiet streets and alleys.From time to time, the broken regiment bravely robbed property, regardless of the fact that the owners of these properties were from the same clan.

There were also people who knelt on both sides of the road and discarded their weapons and surrendered. The armor and clothes on their bodies showed the different identities of their regiment members, Tian Yong, and ordinary clansmen.Leave the fate to these conquerors who rush into the stockade like a tide.

In accordance with the principle of encircling three and missing one, no troops were arranged to attack the wall leading to the mountainous area in the north.There are now a large number of hedgehogs trying to escape into the mountains from here.The villagers who escaped from this military disaster.

Tuan Ding, Tian Yong, ordinary people, old and weak, women and children.Crowded near the gate of the village, those with weapons swung their knives and guns to cut a passage for themselves, and kept fighting with the fleeing people to rob property.They even scattered around with torches, and then ran for their lives.

Cheers continued to come from the west and south, but it was Wu Biao and Wang Jin who organized people to clear away the bricks, stones and wood piled up at the two village gates, opened the gate, and a large group of people rushed in.

"My lord has an order! Anyone who abandons his weapons and kneels on the ground must not be killed! No insults!"

Several messengers kept waving the red flags in their hands, galloped across the street, and conveyed the instructions of the two brigade commanders to every corner of the village.

"Order! Two battalions of troops are on standby in the battalion, and pursue to the north gate, and no one will be missed!"

There were sporadic resistances in the village, some were the captives who resisted desperately when they were captured, and some were the desperate resistance encountered when they went to capture the group leaders, patriarchs, and regiment leaders.

"Stubborn, kill!"

Standing in front of the ancestral hall, looking at the couplet hanging at the entrance of the ancestral hall and the family temple, "In three lives, three dead, and now enjoy the sacrifices of the same companions; He Yi He, fighting righteous wars, since the past, honored bandits and different people" couplet, District University Peng couldn't help frowning. He didn't know who it was, and poured urine on the bottom of the stone couplet.

Behind the streets and alleys not far away, bursts of women's howling and men's yelling and cursing could be faintly heard.

There were the two courtyards that soldiers from the newly formed brigade had just rushed into.

Hearing this voice, Wu Liuqi's face was a little ugly.The blue veins on the hand holding the iron rod were exposed. Standing in the core part of the Taoyuan Village, in front of the ancestral hall of the three families, it was a very face-saving thing to welcome the follow-up troops into the city. Wu Liuqi was slapped across the face.

"Go! Bring those bastards to Lao Tzu!"

Wu Liuqi became angry from embarrassment.

"Order the troops to enter the city as soon as possible, clean up the battlefield and end the battle! Then go out to calm the people!"

"The sages of the past have said that the way to govern the country is to focus on the weak people. Because the people are strong, the government orders will not work, and the country will be weak. My Great Ming Taizu ruled the world with a three-foot sword, and all the seas and borders were subject to surrender. However, I was also worried about the merger of the powerful. , Therefore, the legislative degree lightens the tax burden of the people and emphasizes the transportation of the powerful. However, since Wanli, the country has been troubled, suffering from the invasion of Liaodong rebels externally, and suffering from the flood of the Yellow River internally. There was a change in Taoyuan Dashe. Fortunately, God blesses China, and the people's minds follow suit. Once the general's army comes out, the chaos will be pacified. However, the rebels are not willing to be slaughtered, but they are secretly spreading rumors, slandering the general's benevolent government, and saying that they will harm the people. He deceived the people, and used the clan as a tool to gather the villagers in an attempt to resist. To cover up his rebellion, he talked a lot about keeping the family law for his ancestors, but when he lived and when he died, how dare he take the words of the ancient ancestors? Seeking is for people's livelihood and happiness. They can't afford swords and soldiers, and they themselves are in dire straits and have nothing to grow on. Today's patriarchs have fields connected with rice paddies, and ten of them have eight parts. Is this what the three emperors and five emperors wished? Set up a name cleverly, collect all kinds of donations in the name of offering sacrifices, etc. If you don’t follow suit, you will insult your ancestors in the name of your ancestors.”

In front of the ancestral hall, more than 1 villagers from Taoyuan Dasha gathered in a dark crowd. Around them, more than a thousand South China Army troops lined up according to their battalion posts to monitor the scene.

"Pu You Amu! That sounds good!" Although the stockade was destroyed, the arrogance in people's hearts has not diminished at all.

"I just know that there are no parents who are willing to bully the poor, and the argument of the rebel patriarch is that there are ancestors who are willing to bully the younger generations! It is tolerable, and which one cannot be tolerated. You and the rebel patriarch only have a life of a hundred years. The words of the ancestors for thousands of years, forcibly occupying the place where the same clan made a living, and wantonly slandering the ancestors. If you don’t know the canonical punishment, how can you rectify the law and order of the country and calm the hearts of the people. If you are the crime of rebelling against the patriarch. For cruelty, cutting with a knife and burning with fire is not inhumane. However, the general has the virtue of living well, and he cannot bear to slaughter too much. Therefore, he issued an order of appeasement. Anyone who is willing to be appeasement. Keep his family safe. Leave his place of safety. The people of Li The common people, each living and working in peace, there are those who are poor and in danger. You can ask the general's work team for help, and there will be pensions. Wherever the work team goes, the patriarch Li Min can listen to his lectures, and instead of answering, he will know the benevolence and righteousness of the general's laws for a long time. Three emperors and five emperors There are spirits in the sky, and they can distinguish right from wrong, otherwise why would the general rise and the traitor fall? The way of heaven is clear, so I can do it myself."

The same notice was posted in the villages of Neisanjia and Waiqijia in the most crowded places, or was read aloud by soldiers and officers of the South China Army.

Then it was announced that in the next few days, military control, curfew and other systems will be temporarily implemented, and the personnel, fields, forests, weapons, and artillery positions in the former Taoyuan Dashe area will be counted one by one, and then re-registered.

However, what surprised these villagers was the connotation of the land re-registration method.

"Pu you Eminem!"

A villager angrily cursed at the officer on the stage who was reading the land registration method according to the script, "Really?"

He couldn't understand the parallel words in front of him, and he didn't want to hear them, but the most important sentence in the back was clearly poured into his ears.

"The family land, public land, and general's kindness cultivated by each household are all owned by those who have cultivated them. When the work team arrives on the day, they will issue a land deed as proof."

The farmers who cultivated the fields that originally belonged to ancestral halls, clans, and large communes were actually tenants of these "dead landlords" and had to pay various rents.

"My lord! We don't pay the rent to the ancestral hall anymore, do we have to pay the rent to you?"

Someone in the crowd ventured to question the officer who read the proclamation.

"It's not paying rent to us, it's paying money and food to the country! It's a matter of course for the imperial grain and national tax!"

"How much will you pay? Thirty percent or forty percent?"

"Thirty percent? Cannibalism?! Do you want to be a farmer?"

The officer paused for a moment, and someone next to him adjusted the angle of the large copper horn to make his speech clearer.

"How much should I pay?"

There are more and more people in the crowd who are concerned about handing in money and food figures, and they all look nervously and expectantly at the guy who broke their village, well, this guy doesn't look so vicious!

"According to the Nanzhong tax rate, the tax rate for rice is [-]% of the [-] taxes. Other cash crops are not included in this list. If each household has surplus grain, it can be sold to the Nanzhong Army at a price that is three times the market price!"

"boom!"

There was an uproar in the crowd immediately.

The impact of these two things on them was even greater than breaking through the stockade.

The family land was owned by the cultivator, and the rice was harvested at one-twentieth of the price, and the remaining grain was purchased at three times the price.

People were dazed by the sudden good news, and they were ignorant of the series of things that happened next.

Seven or eight South Central Army soldiers who were bound with ropes like zongzi were kicked and beaten and escorted to the square in front of Sanyi Temple.

"Before the siege, what did I say to the district brigade commander?!"

Wu Liuqi immediately shouted to the people in front of him.

"After entering the city, those who abandon their weapons and kneel on the ground are not allowed to kill, plunder, or commit adultery!"

There was a thunderous roar, and the people in Taoyuan Village were a little at a loss.

"Okay! Now that you remember this military discipline, then, brothers, these brothers of Putaam have no military discipline and no military orders. After entering the city, they committed murder, looting and adultery. You said, you should How to deal with it?!"

Those who were bound were all soldiers under Wu Liuqi's subordinates, and one of them was a brother from the Wu clan.Accompanied by Wu Liuqi, he rushed into the village first, saw the children's treasures in the nearby villages all piled up there, and the old state returned to normal for a while, so he started the action after breaking open the kiln that day.

"Cut according to the law!"

Several soldiers of the law enforcement team carried a guillotine, which was used in the village to enforce family law and kill people.The most is extremely sharp.

"Let's go on the road with peace of mind. I told the district brothers that you were killed in battle. You have all the pensions! Your parents, wives and children are taken care of!"

After saying this, Wu Liuqi waved his hand, signaling the law enforcement team to start execution.He pulled out the long tricks in his neck, stuffed the person under the guillotine, and pressed down violently.

A head flew far away after being swung by a sharp guillotine, Gululu rolled into the shallow pool in the recess a few times, several bloody arrows "swish" from the neck that lost its head and shot several meters, the twitching body After shaking violently a few times, it fell obliquely.The bystanders were stunned for a moment.Then, even the habitual thunderbolt said "Okay!" The second, third, fourth... heads were cut off one after another.The air was filled with the strong stench of blood and incontinence.

Then it was pushed under the guillotine.It is dozens of patriarchs, leaders, and group leaders.For these, the villagers are no longer so excited.

On the contrary, there are some tears in the eyes of some old people, after all, they are acquaintances for decades.That's how he was pushed under the guillotine.

However, soon, the experience that was actually tested in Bao'an County continued to be used here again.

"Uncles and brothers, this is the account book we copied from the homes of several patriarchs. You can take a look at the public expenditures of the past dynasties, from sacrifices to family temple repairs, from the rent of clan fields to the military pay of regiments. I can clearly remember every pen and stroke, how they cleverly set up a name to exploit the folks!"

. . . . . . .

Human society is a pyramid, and the people at the bottom are always the largest.Facing the powerful South Central Army, which distributed land, purchased grain at high prices, and taxed money and food at a frighteningly low rate, and then rectified military discipline, and beheaded the sergeants who robbed, killed, and raped for public display, people naturally became close psychologically. feeling.

When I heard that for so many years, these patriarchs who are usually full of benevolence and morality have been so desperate to extract oil and water from themselves, people are outraged!

Leaders and patriarchs were sent to different places under the guillotine. Not only did the onlookers not feel the slightest bit of sorrow, but they cheered continuously.

In the next few days, what happened even more dazzled the people of Taoyuan Village, including Wu Liuqi and others.

First, the barn was opened, and the rice accumulated over the years was declared confiscated and distributed according to the population of each household, as Governor Li Shouhan's compensation for innocent people suffering from the military disaster.

Of course, by the way, the population situation of Taoyuan Village was thoroughly investigated.

After that, they cleaned up the garbage in the village, renovated the houses destroyed by fire, and promoted various policies and decrees of the South China Army.

And the armed forces of several clans in the nearby counties who have always followed the lead of the Taoyuan Grand Society have sent people to contact them one after another.

"As long as we keep our lives, we are willing to hand over our armed forces and clan fields, and everything will be done in accordance with the laws of the Nanzhong Army!"

In the few days after Taoyuanzhai was breached, such envoys, like crucian carp crossing the river, appeared panting in front of the Sanyi Temple, which was temporarily used as the Chinese army. In the main hall, after getting the promise that as long as you surrender your armed forces, public land and clan land, the ancestral hall can only be used as a place of worship without interfering with local administrative justice, and you can keep the leader’s personal family property without harming his life, tears filled his eyes , just like the long-lost revolutionaries found their organization, kowtow like a chicken pecking broken rice in front of the statue of the kind-hearted Uncle Liu.

Immediately after this group of envoys came a team of more than a thousand members. They formed a team of dozens of people and had a sentry as a guard, each demarcating the area.Manage the population, villages, clans, production, taxation, administration, justice, education and many other aspects within the jurisdiction.

Those villages that declared their surrender under the cannon will find in a few months that the patriarchs are no longer so talkative.His place was replaced by those work teams who had not been able to speak the local dialect well after coming here.

Ancestral halls that have been deprived of administrative and judicial powers are expressly stipulated that they can only own no more than [-]% of the total land of the village or clan, and the proceeds are used for the daily expenses and sporadic repairs of the ancestral halls.As for major repairs, it is necessary to make the accounts public.

In the days when there are no sacrificial activities, public buildings such as ancestral halls have found another place to use them.It has become the location of secondary schools of all ethnic groups in various villages.

As a result, very strange scenes often appear in northern Guangdong.

During the day, children carry their schoolbags and go to school to receive compulsory education. After lighting the lamps, young adults who have been busy with their work all day have to carry the schoolbags of their younger brothers or nephews on their backs, and go to the night school run by the ancestral hall to receive compulsory education.

Those staff members who teach in the school told them with a stern face, "If you are absent from class for no reason, we will not hit your door and hit your palms. However, if the class records and test scores are not good enough, after the spring starts, the summer and autumn seasons will be paid. Double it!"

After being beaten down by this dazzling combination of fierce and unparalleled punches, the clan forces that were previously intertwined in places such as Wuhua Dapu in northern Guangdong, which prevented the official family from leaving the county government, showed a tendency to collapse.

"Unexpectedly, this law, education, and taxation are even more powerful than mortars!"

While drinking tea, Wu Liuqi sighed to Ou Dapeng.

"Cannons can only knock down city walls and armor, but they can't penetrate people's hearts. Education, taxation, farmland system, etc., can break everyone's heart."

The two drank a few cups of tea, and Ou Dapeng ordered someone to fetch an official letter.

"Boss Wu, this is the official document sent by the messenger yesterday. Since the northern part of Guangdong has probably been calmed down, your department does not need to stay in the mountainous area of ​​northern Guangdong. The lord also intends to praise you for sending your department to Guangzhou for training!" continued..)
