Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 120 Disaster!
What is the officer afraid of?
The official is afraid of being exposed!Song Qingshu remembers that when he read the news in his previous life, a village in Shaanxi was demolished and had nowhere to go. The villagers visited the county many times and it was all in vain. The secretary just said, go back and wait for the news!In the end, the desperate villagers collectively bowed down at the gate of the county government. Aren't you waiting?We're right here waiting!

After seeing the newspaper, it didn't take long for a large number of people to be found out, and the problems of the villagers were also resolved.

But are the officials of the Ming Dynasty afraid of being exposed?

In fact, officials of the Ming Dynasty were also afraid!Regarding official corruption, Mr. Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor who started as a farmer, distrusted it from the bottom of his heart. The Ming Dynasty had more officials than the previous dynasties. Thirteen Branches, Yushitai, Inspectors, and a lot of officials stared at him. Internal and external officials, if there is a slight mistake, one impeachment can disgust for half a year.

Moreover, the speech officer also has a very powerful right. Hearing rumors about things, what do you mean, you can also report to the emperor if you hear unconfirmed gossip from the street chief. It's bad luck for him to check it wrong, the officials heard about it!I'm sure you have a problem with your character, why don't someone gossip about you?

Moreover, every six years, the capital will also organize the officials and censors to go abroad for investigations. Local taxation, public security, whether there are farmers making troubles, and scholars protesting are all important inspection contents. Still have to go to jail.

After being reminded by the eunuch, Song Qingshu organized hundreds of villagers who had their relatives taken away, sneaked in from the city gate, and gathered in a mighty way at the gate of the county government office. The Great Uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty started with Wang Er of Cheng County leading the hungry people into the county government office and killing the county magistrate Guo Papi. The policemen at the gate were so frightened that they all shrank back, not daring to be arrogant anymore. The door was closed tightly.

However, these villagers neither rushed in nor cried. They knelt down in unison with a hula, and several large banners were pulled apart on the top.

Rent collection in the twelfth lunar month!Never before!
There is a severe drought, the government does not provide relief, and instead forces rent and taxes, it is impossible to survive!
The officials forced the people to die!
With the shaking banners, hundreds of people raised their fists and shouted: "Return my relatives!" The momentum caused the snow on the tiles of the county office to fall down, and even a head did not dare to come out of it. .

Song Qingshu didn't kneel there and cry for grievances. Before he arrived at the intersection, he had quietly left the crowd covered with a cloak and scarred face. The face moved away quickly.

Calling out grievances is one thing, but it is another thing for people to see. In the future, there will be media everywhere. Anyone who is picked out on the street may be an undercover reporter. The Internet is so developed that even a psychopath on the street can be exposed, let alone Such a big deal, but now, there is a good saying, the sky is high and the emperor is far away!

These villagers have already done things, and the rest depends on how the hype goes!Who is in the hands of public opinion these days?Under the pens of those scholars!

Shangnan County is far from comparable to Shangnan County in later generations. It is smaller than a town in later generations. The city wall is only 300 meters long and 500 meters wide. Far away is the county school and the place where rich people in the county live.

The newly appointed Zhang Xiancheng also lives here, an independent small courtyard, which is considered quite decent in this county town. He is proud of his youth and almost manages the rights of the county. The matchmaker who came to propose marriage has already stepped through the threshold, but Today, I don't know why this Mr. Zhang seems to be depressed these few days. He closed the door to thank the guests and didn't say anything.

The more you drink the wine, the more bitter you become. Just when Zhang Haocai was half-drunk, the suddenly closed door was pushed open with a thud, which immediately made the official scold angrily, : "Who is it? Grandpa, didn't I say that I don't see any visitors?"

"Zhang Xiancheng is so powerful!"

With a plop, a cold iron firecracker was suddenly placed on the wooden table. Zhang Hao was shocked when he saw it. He raised his head and saw Song Qingshu sitting opposite him with his arms folded and his face full of ice. He locked the door with his face again, leaned on the door panel with his arms crossed like a door god, and was shocked, this time Zhang Hao was completely awakened from the drunkenness.

Looking down at the cold iron firecracker, the treacherous guy forced a smile, pushed the firecracker slightly away, and said with a sneer: "Shopkeeper Song, we are old acquaintances, why is that so? "

Song Qingshu is the one who works on this official, he bought the yard, and even the peanuts served on the table were sent by Song Qingshu, but it turned out that this guy didn't do anything in an emergency, so it's no wonder that Song Qingshu was so angry , picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth, Song Qingshu groaned angrily: "Now you see that you are the county magistrate, how dare I, a commoner, dousheng!"

The meaning of this sentence is even more serious. This guy immediately twitched his face into a bitter melon flower, and said sadly: "Oh, shopkeeper Song, I really don't blame me! You know, I am a county magistrate , the county magistrate is not here, I am a dragon, once this county magistrate Feng comes back, I will be a fucking adult!"

"Just the day before yesterday, County Magistrate Feng came with the order of the three governors' mansions, and drove me home from the county government office, and sent all the county government servants away, causing chaos everywhere. The county is already poor, and Xiaomin is almost out of pants. After all this, he, Old Dog Feng, wants to collect [-] dans of grain to please the governors of the three sides? I really don’t know what the hell! Look! It won't be long before those little people will be forced to rebel!"

After complaining a lot, Zhang Haocai reacted suddenly, staring at Song Qingshu's firecracker and asked jerky: "Master Song, wouldn't your people be arrested too?"

"This is really difficult!" Standing up and turning around twice, Zhang Haocai sat back on the stool with difficulty, and said hesitantly: "Master Song, Liu Tou in the prison and I still have some friendship. As the host, treat him to a good drink, say some small words, and we will secretly get him out, do you think so?"

"I've been arrested for more than 700 people, and I can be released after a drink?" Song Qingshu rolled his eyes and said angrily, and Zhang Haocai was frightened dumbfounded by one sentence.

"Here, more than 100 people from the Li family in Longhu Village have been arrested and cannot be released. This is a bit too difficult!"

"That's why I came to you!" As he said, Song Qingshu leaned forward, and with a bang, he threw a heavy gold letter onto the table.

"This is ten taels of gold. Today I brought people into the county to block the county government to complain. You should know a lot of county school students. Invite them to dinner, and then let them spread the matter to the provincial capital. , it’s best to let the inspector censor know that Feng Laogou is terribly skinny in the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, so that the little people can’t survive, damn it, let’s see how he ends up!"

These scholars are the best newspapers in this era. They rush to take the exam and form a group. Who knows if anyone is a speech official in the capital? , This was also Eunuch Jiao's idea to Song Qingshu.

But after saying that, Zhang Haocai became embarrassed again, he hesitated for a long time before shaking his head heavily.

"Master Song! Proprietor! You always don't know, this time Feng Laogou came down with the order of the three governors' mansions, and what happened, Yang He, the governors of the three sides, gave him his arms. Dozens of counties in the prefecture are like this, and Yang He has quite some appeal among scholars, and now the Holy Majesty still counts on him to stabilize the three sides! No matter how big the trouble is now, it is estimated that he would not dare to impeach him easily!"

"This Yang He also seems to have gone crazy suddenly. He is trying his best to gather money and food. Shaanxi has been smashed into a pot of porridge. Could it be that he wants to make a fortune now and run away?"

Zhang Haocai complained at the last sentence, and Song Qingshu, who had been in a dilemma after listening to it, woke up suddenly, and blamed himself for making trouble for a long time!

According to the date, Huang Taiji should have entered the pass now, and it is estimated that the imperial court will launch the king order to the whole country in the past few months. In normal history, Yang He would not know about this change, but now according to his reaction Look, Yang He has confirmed the Qing invasion through some channels, and he wants to raise the last force before the imperial court transfers the army in his hands, and make a final fight against the peasant uprising army in northern Shaanxi.

In fact, Yang He is quite pitiful. He is a good censor, and he can be a good cabinet, but he is not a good general!Yang He is ignorant in military affairs. The former governor of the three sides, Wu Zhiwang, died because of the fear of the peasant uprising. Everyone knows that Shaanxi is a big fire pit. Because the censor was too upright and offended too many people, and he didn't want to see his cabinet wandering around in the capital, so he recommended him to jump into this pit of fire.

Even when Emperor Chongzhen was summoned on the platform, Yang He bluntly said that he had no talent to pacify Shaanxi, but Emperor Chongzhen, who had a mentality of driving ducks to the shelves, didn't care so much about him, so he insisted on letting him go. When he first came to Shaanxi, Yang He was indeed suppressing They both attacked and recruited the insurgents, but before his policy was implemented, the Qing soldiers entered the pass, and Shaanxi dispatched 400 frontier troops to Qin Wang. Yang He, who was really out of soldiers, finally didn't take pictures. Hong Chengchou, a civil servant, led more than [-] soldiers to rescue Hancheng, which shows how embarrassed Yang He was. Later, he blindly advocated appeasement, but he really had no soldiers in hand.

But at this time and space, I boasted that the Qing army was going to enter the customs. Hong Chengchou and Yang Sichang's conveyance made Yang He prepare in advance. He was going to do his best to fight the peasant army in northern Shaanxi before the troops were transferred. This move made him fall into such an embarrassing situation, Song Qingshu really wanted to slap himself twice, he would die if he pretended to be a fucking force, low-key is king!
When things got to this point, let alone kneeling to beg, even if all eight hundred peasants were hanged at the gate of the yamen, it is estimated that they would not even be able to attract a fart in the capital, and the listless Song Qingshu had to wave his hand feebly.

"That's according to what you said, the cell boss invited me out for a drink, so I can release Master Tzu!"

"Okay, just look at it!" With a smile on his face, he stuffed the gold on the table into his arms, Zhang Haocai stopped drinking, and was about to go out to do errands while humming a little tune, but Song Qingshu continued to drink, sipping Zhang Haocai's bitter wine Well, Song Qingshu was still having a headache, how could he fool Old Man Xing out of his ass, and let him ignore those old men and women under his command.

However, after a while, Zhang Haocai ran back with a pale face, his teeth chattering, pointing at Song Qingshu, and talking tremblingly.

"Song, Song, Song, Lord Song, you, you, you said that you brought people, knelt, knelt in front of the county government office to call for grievances?"

"That's right, what's wrong?"

"Really, what a disaster!" Seeing Song Qingshu stand up suddenly, Zhang Haocai almost burst into tears, patted his thigh sadly and said: "The gang of mud legs beat County Magistrate Feng to death, and now they are in groups It's smashing the county government! This is the opposite!!!"
