Chapter 200. Divide the land
Everything finally went according to the script written by Mao Jue, Qiantang was defeated, the troops of the southeastern provinces of Zhejiang and Zhili were wiped out, and the richest areas of the Ming Dynasty were exposed to the clutches of pirates.
It seems that the southeast rebellion that shook the country during the Jiajing period reappeared, Nanjing shook, Jiangnan shook, and the drunken scholars on the Qinhuai River finally dragged their sleeves home in panic, and began to pack up and prepare to run away.
But in this kung fu another major event that shocked the imperial court, Jiangnan Jinyiwei found out that this invasion of the Japanese invaded because of the Songjiang Wu family, the Qiantang Song family and several other Jiangnan wealthy families colluded with the Japanese to sell contraband, and the result was an uneven distribution of the spoils to summon the invasion of the pirates. Anyway, Wu Ercheng, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and several court officials died, and the wall fell down and everyone pushed it.
But this time, it touched the sensitive nerves of the wealthy family in Jiangnan, and the eunuchs interfered in politics! During the Apocalypse, how many times did these families fight with Wei Zhongxian's minions? How many people died? How can you bear it?
Jiang Jing's move, Donglin Fushe have blown up, everyone played the Ming Dynasty civil officials in charge of the good tradition of party struggle, close to the Japanese are not careful, the family does not escape, in May, thousands of literati gathered in Yingtian, roaring and flocking to the central government of Nanjing, shouting to the eunuchs to release people, the scholars are in a decisive city, the momentum is violent.
As for the Japanese invaders who have broken through Jiaxing and are already approaching the border of Nanzhili or something, they don't care at all! In the face of the party's struggle for fame, what is it to kill two people?
As for the little deputy general Tieyi, who was asked for help by Shen Guangzuo, an official of Zhishi, and regained Hangzhou Mansion with newly trained Yiwu soldiers, no one paid attention to it at all.
In fact, compared with the disturbing Jiangnan family, Mao Jue himself is also noble and not there, he is also because of personal vendettas, bribed the pirates of the East China Sea to come back to take revenge, standing on the head of the city, the Dinglan Town destroyed by the war is still vivid, and then to the northeast, the main battlefield Ming army camp seems to be a huge scar on the earth, burned black land, horizontal and vertical corpses, arrows, spears stuck in the ground, stretching for more than ten miles, how many people died that night, Mao Jue himself did not count.
It's a pity that this world is like this, the whole world is turbid, I am alone, Mao Jue is not so highly conscious, he is not the temper that swallows his anger, do you want to fight Lao Tzu? I'm sorry, even if I fight to the death, I'll kill you! The doctor who enjoys the great grace of the country doesn't care about this country, he is a rough martial artist, what does the most unloyal and over-the-top killer in the mouth of civil officials care about?
Fortunately, the big king flag at the head of Hangzhou City has been changed back to the bright red Ming character, so that the major Hangzhou wealthy families who were robbed and bankrupt and have lost all their money can be regarded as relieved, and they are re-energetic and go to the streets.
However, they didn't seem to get along very well with the Iron Righteous Army that liberated the city, and when Mao Jue looked down at the top of the city, a large group of wealthy people in the city were surrounding Mao Lance, arguing angrily about something there.
"What's going on?"
As one of the few surviving clans in the city, Shen Guangzuo is obliged to take the children of the clan and the tenants out of the city to collect the corpses, and he has just come back from digging a pit on the ground, the old guy is willing to be idle, looking at the noisy appearance under the city wall, he couldn't help but climb the city wall curiously, pointing below and asking.
"What's wrong? What else could have happened? It's going to divide the land! If you want me to send troops to drive out those tenants, I'm not the prefect of Hangzhou, I'll take care of them!"
"Ground?"
Shen Guangzuo was really confused, but in an instant, this old fritter who had been an official all his life woke up again.
Although the war disaster has caused heavy losses to the major families, and even many of them have been wiped out, but the war disaster has passed, and it is a good opportunity for the big families to get rich after the disaster, after all, the silver can be snatched, but the land cannot be taken away, especially the fields and land books of the various families and the government have been burned almost, which is both a bad thing and a good thing.
As long as they seize the loopholes before the return of the imperial court prefect, divide the land, and re-sign the deed of sale of the tenants and slaves, it will not take a few years, and they will still be high-ranking rich masters.
Of course, the premise is that these methods are made a vested fact before the rebuilding of the Hangzhou government, which will have to collude with the officers, seize the land and mark it, expel the original tenant farmers, and arrest some of the tenant slaves who have destroyed the slave contract and let them re-sign them.
One by one, the posts of a certain waiter and a certain book, pretending to be four, five, six, seven or eight, let Mao Jue come forward to do the lack of morality, of course Mao Jue didn't bird them.
But if you want to understand it, whether you can figure it out is another matter, Shen Guangzuo's rectum, his temper immediately came up, his beard stood up, and he roared against the city bricks.
"These scum! Just after the catastrophe, I didn't think about how to restore my hometown and stabilize my neighbors, and I even thought about fish and meat in the village for my own selfish interests!"
"What is the difference between them and the scholars who gathered in the Heavenly City? One is for the interests of the family, the other is for political dividends, in order to control the right to speak in the court, not to let the eunuchs press up again, and they don't even care about military affairs, where do they care about the life and death of the small people? ”
Holding his arms and looking at the messy battlefield below, Mao Jue snorted contemptuously.
"These Jiangnan literati, sitting on a rotten boat without knowing it, are still desperately dismantling the planks on the ship, building their own small space, when the ship sinks, they probably don't know what regret is when they sink into the abyss together."
This sentence is equivalent to scolding Shen Guangzuo, he is also one of the representatives of Jiangnan literati, but this time this old guy with a straight intestine has no distinction at all, he has been an official for decades, the party disputes between the DPRK and China, local annexation, and the lawlessness of the family, he does not know these ills in his heart.
But he, Shen Guangzuo, is also a member of this privileged class, and he is also powerless in the middle of the world, so he can only follow the rules, and if he behaves too differently, he may let the other scholars and doctors throw him down and break his bones.
For more than 300 years in the Ming Dynasty, there is really only one Hai Rui!
"By the way, uncle, Ming Haikou will march to Songjiang, and his nephew will also lead the army to the north, and this Hangzhou City will be handed over to my uncle, but you can rest assured, I will not fight Songjiang City, as long as the Wu family is destroyed, I will stop and return to Dongjiang."
"Ahh Got it!"
Turning his head to look at those well-dressed doctors and celebrities who were still shouting, Old Man Shen replied absentmindedly.
…………
Mao Jue really said to leave, starting in the evening, the Tie Yi Army withdrew from Hangzhou City one after another, shouting fiercely at night, seeing that Mao Jue was really leaving, the remaining family gate lords and officials were panicked, seeing that Shen Guangzuo and Mao Jue had a close relationship, they were surrounded outside the Shen Mansion in a group.
"Old man Yueqiao Li Suo, bother the little brother to report!"
"This little brother, please talk to Lord Shen, leaning on the land on the river beach, my Zhao Mansion gave it to him, begging him to meet!"
These characters with heads and faces in Hangzhou City politely held their fists with gifts, but unfortunately, because of Mao Jue at the beginning, Shen Guangzuo could bring out the bowl and close the door, not to mention them, the two swarthy doors were closed, and the Shen family showed a bitter face on the door, and waved his hand sadly.
"Go back, everybody! My grandfather is sick! I can't see anyone!"
Shen Guangzuo was indeed sick, but it was a heart disease, a large number of people gathered at the gate of the Shen Mansion, and the various owners of the local Shen family, the clansmen, and several Zhuangzi Zhuangtou of the Shen family were all secretly called in from the back door.
Taking the meaning of heirloom to keep the business, Shen Guangzuo's eldest son Shen Chuan's family is an official in Nanjing, the second son Shen Shou is running the family business at home, and several grandchildren, all of whom have also arrived, in the stunned looks of dozens of people, Shen Shou coughed and came out with a box.
"Dad, it's all here, what are you going to do with this?"
"Got it?"
"Yes, Dad, bring it!"
"Just bring it!"
I don't know why, I handed the box to Shen Guangzuo, who was sitting in front of the stove on the chair in the courtyard, Shen Chuan waited aside, and watched Shen Guangzuo open the box and throw it out inexplicably.
"The third child, this is your part of the family property, the title deed, the fifth, this is yours, the sixth, this is yours, and the old man Liu, the old man Zhao, the old man Zhou, these are the title deeds of your Zhuangzi!"
"Uncle? What's to be done? Separated? ”
Holding the title deed industry, the Shen family was full of inexplicability, and those tenant heads were even more confused, and their title deeds did not belong to them, but to Shen Guangzuo.
"Boss, you are ......, is there anything wrong in Zhuangzi?"
didn't answer these people's questions and coughed a few times, Shen Guangzuo searched around again: "You've got it all, right?" ”
"Dad, what are you going to do...... ouch! Dad, how can these ledgers be burned!"
One didn't pay attention, Shen Guangzuo casually poured the family property account books under the box, as well as the arrears of rent over the years or something, all into the brazier, all of a sudden, at least tens of thousands of taels, and the shocked Shen Shou hurriedly wanted to grab it out, but how could he rob it through the raging fire? It burned out before I saw it.
"Daddy! You ......, you ......, you ......"
I really want to say that he is old and confused, but unfortunately Shen Shou didn't dare to say it anyway, shaking his big sleeves with a sad look on his face, but it was more than this that made him vomit blood, holding on to the armrest, Shen Guangzuo suddenly dropped his sleeves easily, and said with a smile that was not shocking.
"Tomorrow, the old man will follow the nephew of the Mao family to the north of the Dongjiang River, if you want to follow, you can follow, if you don't want to follow, this Shen Mansion will be left to you, and the old man will go by himself."
"That's it, let's disperse!"
"Daddy!"
almost didn't cry, the old man of the Shen family, who was in his thirties and almost forty, knelt on the ground sadly, living like a child of more than 200 pounds......
