Smuggling Daming

The natives in the north of Gangnan County only saw the affluent life of the Han people in the south of the city, but did not see the hard work the Han people put in for it. In their simple and barbaric minds, they believed that they were the masters of the land under their feet, even if they Sleeping late every day, they don't know how to use this land at all. They would rather their land be covered with weeds than let the Han people plant more useful crops such as rice and sugar cane.

Therefore, in the envy of the natives, conflicts inevitably occurred. When Zhu Zhishan first took office, he had dealt with several conflicts between the natives and the Han people, but those conflicts were very small and not considered a big deal. Among them, only one conflict resulted in a relatively large scale, and four natives died. At that time, some natives wanted to enter a Han village to snatch a beautiful woman, but they were hacked to death by the woman's brother with a hatchet. One, the rest of the natives were all scared away. Afterwards, Zhu Zhishan acquitted the Han people and severely punished the native aristocrats who instigated the robbing. become hostile.

Thinking of those stupid and barbaric natives under his control, Zhu Zhishan felt another headache. He is a scholar, and he has always taken it as his mission to educate all people in the world. After all, in his opinion, although those natives are stupid, they are human after all. Confucius said There is no distinction between teaching and learning, so he believes that as long as he shows enough sincerity, one day he will influence those natives.

Zhu Zhishan thought so, and at the same time he did so. After he arrived in Gangnan County, he went to the native tribes in the north of the city several times to encourage those native people to learn farming from the Han people.At the same time, seeds, farm tools, and even daily necessities such as cloth and salt are distributed free of charge. It can be said that he has done everything a local official can do.

But what Zhu Zhishan didn't expect was that the seeds he distributed were quickly eaten up by the natives, and the agricultural tools were sold to the Han people by them, not to mention things like cloth and salt. Not enough for the natives to consume, and even some natives are not greedy enough.After eating the food and salt, he even ran to the county government office to ask for it, which is shameless.

However, even after experiencing a series of failures above, Zhu Zhishan is still not discouraged from educating the natives. He has been planning to open an academy in Gangnan County during this time, and the academy will not only recruit Han people.At the same time, some native children were also recruited to study in the academy. I believe that those native children would be quite different from the original natives after being educated by the sage books. It is easy to civilize the remaining natives.

But it is a pity that when Zhu Zhishan was working hard for the academy.But I didn't expect the natives in the north of the city to launch a riot, and these stupid natives never thought about the consequences of the riots.You must know that there are still [-] elite soldiers stationed in the old port city, and there are also [-] troops just recruited from the local area. These troops are all composed of Han Chinese and armed to the teeth. Not to mention those unarmed ordinary natives.

Among the natives, there have long been spies bought by Ming. After all, there are more natives than Han people in Old Port, and Shenying and Tang Bohu are not fools.Naturally, he knew that he had to guard against those natives, so he had already arranged special manpower to bribe those native nobles.The result is that the movements of the natives under the rule of each state and county will be reported to the local government and nearby troops in the shortest possible time.

Zhu Zhishan felt very heavy in his heart when he looked at the information about the native riots in his hand, because he knew very well that the same information had been sent to the army stationed in the old port city, and the army had sent someone to send the news, so that he did not need to panic. Now the army of Jiugang has rushed to the area where the Han people live in the south of the city, and will soon reach the county seat. As long as the natives in the north of the city dare to riot tonight, they will be greeted with a bloody massacre.

Thinking of the 30 to [-] natives rioting, but these natives were destined to die in the massacre by the Ming army, Zhu Zhishan felt a little out of breath, and he even saw the scene of blood flowing into rivers in Gangnan County tonight.After all, Zhu Zhishan is a literati, and he is always somewhat repulsed by killing.

Just when Zhu Zhishan was feeling sad for the natives who were about to be massacred tonight, a young man in official uniform walked in from outside the county office, bowed to Zhu Zhishan and said, "Teacher, you don't have to worry about those yourself anymore." The stupid natives feel sad, after all, they are looking for their own death, and they really can't blame anyone else!"

Hearing this young official's words, Zhu Zhishan also raised his head and glanced at him, then sighed and said: "Shen Zhong, you young people are aggressive and courageous, compared to being a teacher, you are a bit of a woman's benevolence. "

The young man who came in was Xu Shenzhong, Zhu Zhishan's disciple, and also a good friend of Zhou Zhong when he was in Songjiang. At that time, they had cooperated to copy the first 34 of Journey to the West as a birthday gift to Zhu Zhishan.

Xu Shenzhong was born in a family of officials and officials, and he was well-read in poetry and books since he was a child, and he learned calligraphy from Zhu Zhishan at a young age. Although his calligraphy can't compare with Zhu Zhishan's, he is also a famous calligraphy rookie in the south.However, it is a pity that Xu Shenzhong, like his teacher Zhu Zhishan, had a very bumpy journey in the imperial examination. He also participated in the general examination several times, but he also failed many times. He also decided to come to Nanyang with the teacher, but after Zhou Zhong knew about it, he was arranged to be the director of Gangnan County, and now he is Zhu Zhishan's most important assistant.

When Xu Shenzhong heard the teacher lamenting his woman's benevolence, he smiled and said: "Teacher, you don't have to feel that you are a woman's benevolence. In fact, to be honest, my student, when I think that Gangnan County will be bloody tonight, my heart is also full of tears." It’s still uncomfortable, especially because we have made so much effort to influence those natives, and we are even preparing to open a college to recruit natives, but those natives are like rocks, and they don’t know how to be grateful. With this riot, I am afraid that there will not be many natives left in Gangnan County in the future."

When Xu Shenzhong said the last thing, he also became a little bit gnashing of teeth.When he first arrived in Gangnan County, he, like his teacher Zhu Zhishan, felt that he could influence the local natives. Xu Shenzhong finally lost his composure, and even his attitude towards the local natives began to change, especially when he saw those natives eating up the good seeds he had collected so hard, Xu Shenzhong wished he could hack them with a knife. Those stupid natives.

When Zhu Zhishan saw that his always good-tempered disciple mentioned the local natives, he also started to show a murderous look. It seems that Xu Shenzhong has accumulated a lot of anger towards the natives during this period, but it's not surprising after thinking about it. Sometimes even Zhu Zhishan himself is angry and hates those natives, let alone the young and energetic Xu Shenzhong.

"Careful, have the defenses in the city been done? Although the army is already ambushing in the south of the city, I guess those natives will definitely attack the county seat immediately. If those natives are allowed to rush into the county seat at that time, the consequences will be dire. It's unimaginable." Zhu Zhishan shook his head, and began to focus on the defense of the county, after all, riots by the natives could happen at any time, so he had to ensure the safety of the county.

"Teacher, don't worry, I have notified the people in the city just now, and the people outside the city have also been temporarily resettled in the city, and they also sent their middle-aged men to help guard the city. They were also transported to the city wall, although the city wall of our county is not very tall, it is impossible to attack it with only those unarmed natives!" Xu Shenzhong said confidently, Gangnan County is a newly built small town , most of the Han people in Gangnan County have their own houses in the county seat, but usually they don’t live in the city, but live on their own farms outside the city. Live in the city.

Hearing that Xu Shenzhong had already made arrangements, Zhu Zhishan nodded in satisfaction. For him, the county magistrate, the most important thing now is to ensure the safety of the Han people in the county. As for the rebellious natives, he has done enough before. Work hard, since those natives are courting their own death, he can't save their lives.

That night, riots suddenly broke out in the native settlements in the north of Gangnan County. Numerous naked natives waved any weapons they could find in their hands. No matter if they were men, women or children, they all howled like madmen However, when they rushed to the bottom of the city wall, they encountered rolling wood and rocks thrown down from the city wall. As a result, they suffered heavy casualties for a while, and they did not have any siege equipment. When facing the solid city wall, they could only Can die.

But even so, those lunatic natives still attacked Gangnan County for nearly half an hour, and finally the dead people under the city wall were piled up into hills, which made those crazy natives feel a little fear, and finally did not know what it was Whoever gave the order, they began to bypass the county seat in groups, preparing to strike at the Han Chinese settlements in the south of the county seat. After all, they all knew that most Han people do not usually live in the city, but live in farms outside the city. inside.

However, these stupid natives didn't calm down and think about it at all. Since the county seat is ready, how could the Han settlement in the south of the county seat be unprepared?

When the rioting natives bypassed the county seat and rushed into the Han settlement in the south of the city, the Ming army who had been ambushing here for a long time took advantage of the favorable location to lead these rioting natives into a Han village built in a valley. , Then blocked the exit of the valley, and ignited the kerosene and dry firewood placed in the valley. For a while, the whole valley was in flames. Except for a few natives who survived, most of the rioting natives were buried in the flames. (To be continued.
