Yang Feng's handling of the Zhuozhou bloody case finally lit the fuse of chaos with his own hands. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Under the deliberate spread and exaggeration of the Jinyi Wei agents, all the tenants everywhere finally understood that the emperor really supported them, so what else did they have to fear? Of course, those tenants would not really want to continue to hand over their blood and sweat to the landlords, that is really their blood and sweat, and after paying at least fifty percent of the rent, they will really have to eat bran vegetables in the future. But under the thousands of years of power of those landlords, they did not have the courage to wage war against the ancient order first, or they could not believe that there would be an emperor who would really clean up those landlords for their sake.

They need a guarantee.

There needs to be a concrete example, not just a decree.

Now Yang Feng gave it to them.

All of a sudden, the doubts of the tenants disappeared, and they knew that the emperor was not only issuing a holy decree, but also really helping them with actions, so let's do it! Immediately afterwards, the curtain was raised on the struggle between tenants and landlords everywhere.

In just a few days, it began to spread outward from Zhili, and there was a constant struggle between the landlords who forcibly collected land rent and the tenants who resisted rent.

Because there are no chief officials in various local governments, the number of those military management teams is also insufficient, and their response is impossible to respond in a timely manner due to traffic restrictions in this era, the armed fighting has hardly been effectively controlled, and the entire countryside in North China has completely become a battlefield, and armed fighting of different scales is constantly staged in every county and township. The landlords led the domestic slaves and the heavily hired thugs to fight with the tenants who resisted the rent with all kinds of weapons, and in the harvest season, there were bloodshed, maimed and even dead, and even in some places, there were casualties comparable to those of the battlefield, and the blood was shrouded in the golden autumn.

As for the results......

Of course, it was the tenants who won.

Anyway, the emperor has already ensured with his actions that even if he kills someone, he will not be guilty, and those tenants who know for the first time that they can also control their own destiny are really desperate this time, and once the beast in their hearts is released, those tenants who defend the fruits of their labor are very combative.

At this time, the landlord is not enough to see.

What's more, their combat effectiveness is nothing more than house slaves and hired thugs, without land, they can't afford to raise house slaves in the future, and those house slaves can also apply for land when they go out, the holy pilgrimage field mu system has special provisions, the Han people are not slaves, even if they sell their bodies after the deed of sale is not recognized, only they and the master's family is an employment relationship, so the house slaves are active, as for the hired thugs......

to the dead.

How many idlers would really risk their lives for that money?

It's more effective to hire bandits.

However, Yang Feng would rather give up and continue the offensive to Henan, and also withdrew more than 200,000 Ming troops to Hebei and scattered all over the country, specifically to guard against those bandits, who were not enough in front of the soldiers who defended the fruits of their relatives' labor.

Almost all of the battles ended in the victory of the tenants, and even in the places where the rent had been paid honestly, the tenants who had been agitated by this frenzy simply hit the landlord's door and forced him to return the rent.

Officially, no one cares.

It is the military management team that maintains order, but the military management team is the Ming army, they only listen to the emperor's orders, and the emperor is the head of the tenants, so of course the military management team will not intervene, not to mention that the vast majority of those soldiers themselves are recruited from the bottom peasants.

And after the head catcher in Zhuozhou was sent to Jinyiwei Prison, and then the corpse that committed suicide in fear of crime was thrown out the next day, the local officials who were originally with the gentry did not have the courage to mix again, and the emperor was evaluating and promoting the local chief officials among the officials, and those officials who really controlled the place were full of longing, thinking that the low-level officials would become officials from the low-level officials, and they would not make the emperor unhappy at such a time. Since the emperor is not afraid of chaos, then chaos, isn't it just a few people killed in a fight, who hasn't seen a dead person in these years, I've seen the days of cannibalism all over the world, and dozens of people have died in a fight, what a big deal.

So behind Yang Feng's behind-the-scenes planning, under the ignorance of officials in various places, the entire Zhili Shandong and the small half of Henan, around the autumn harvest of grain, the frenzy of all-out armed fighting intensified, and the battle between the sickle hoe and the thousand-year-old order was directly white-hot, and with those former high-ranking landlords and village sages, Yang Feng finally got all the things he wanted.

The sub-plot work is completed.

Although the real division of land still needs to wait for those Huangzhuang field teams to station, and re-measure the fields, divide the grades, and make a more reasonable distribution, but that belongs to the trimming, purely from the point of view, he has really distributed the land to the hands of the tenants, the emperor promised them has been fulfilled, and the problems that originally took a long time to solve can be easily solved in this way.

Clan society has been devastated.

The vast majority of the tenants who raised their hoes and sickles to the landlords were of the same clan, and the vast majority of these landlords were the patriarchs of the clans, and when those patriarchs fell under the hands of the clansmen, Yang Feng's biggest obstacle to local control, the patriarchal system began to collapse.

The gentry's right to speak collapsed.

When his own scythe cuts the necks of those old men, who else will believe his nonsense?

Cadres of grassroots cadres appeared.

In the rebellion of those tenants, there will inevitably be authoritative leaders, and they will inevitably be convinced by the villagers who lead them to victory, and then Yang Feng will implement the electoral system in the countryside, and these people will become his first batch of village chiefs if there is no accident. If there is no chaos, then even if he wants to carry out the electoral system, in the end, he can only let the grassroots ruling power continue to be in the hands of those village sages, and there will be no change in the end, but now there is no need to worry about this problem, at least the first batch of village chiefs will not have the share of the village sages, and the tenants who have just experienced the battle will not choose the enemy who has just been defeated, and as the grassroots managers, it will be the group of people who stand out in this chaos.

It's a given.

"Geming is a good thing!"

His Majesty the Emperor said happily.

"Your Majesty, statistics from all over the world have caused at least a thousand deaths in the fighting that has continued to this day."

Li Shoufu told him very blindly.

"It's only a thousand people, I remember that at this time the year before last, almost a thousand dead bodies had to be carried out every day in Beijing, right? Although it was caused by the plague, I am afraid that there were not a few people who died of starvation in it, in fact, as far as I know, the starvation that was thrown out every day in this place every winter in the past may not add up to this number, and if those landlords are allowed to take away this rent, I dare to guarantee that the number of people who starved to death this winter will definitely not be less than this number. Therefore, if you want to live a good life in the future, you must pay the price of blood, and only in exchange for blood is a truly long-term happy life, I just want to tell those people that there has never been a savior, and they can't count on any immortal emperor, if they want to create happiness and regain the fruits of their labor, then they can only rely on their own hands. ”

Yang Feng said.

"Uh, Your Majesty, the first candidates have arrived."

Li Shoufu hurriedly changed the subject.

"How many, and in which counties?"

Yang Feng asked.

"Four in Daxing County, three in Shunyi, four in Xianghe, six in Huairou and five in Baodi."

Li Yutian said.

"Then summon Daxing first."

Yang Feng said.

These people have passed the preliminary examination, that is, he made a test paper for the exam, of course, the test questions should be kept secret, in fact, each county is different, and then the officials and Jinyiwei went to each county to convene all the officials to do the questions, and after doing it, look at the scores, and enter Beijing if they reach the admission line, and then he will conduct the re-examination, and take out the county order, the main book and the county from it. In fact, there were already some master books and county officials in this, Yang Feng only caught the county order level, although the bureaucrats also have grades, but they are too low and not within the scope of his scourge, just reshuffle the cards.

Local bureaucrats are quite different.

The former is an official, and he started as a jinshi.

The bureaucrat is the adjutant of the auxiliary officer, and theoretically it is possible to pass the assessment and then be promoted to the county order, but in practice, it is so difficult that it is almost possible to ignore this possibility, and a large number of jinshi masters are waiting for vacancies, which is the turn of the bureaucrats to be promoted.

A clerk is a clerk.

This has no grade, that is, it is not in the stream, Yan Yingyuan is, but his warden belongs to the highest among the officials, and many counties in the Ming Dynasty have no or lack of bureaucrats under the county order according to different situations, and the warden, as the boss of the officials, basically exercises the duties of the county or the main bookkeeper, so the identity is still a little, but that's all, theoretically he is still not an official, he is just a Xu official, and he has not yet qualified for the imperial examination.

However, because many of the county orders are full of poetry and books, and the Bagu text is well written, but the real administrative ability is hehe, and the specific affairs of the local government are basically the bureaucrats and officials in charge, so although Yang Feng arrested all the county orders and gave him money, in fact, the local government affairs were not affected, and those county orders were originally decorations, and the main responsibility was to make money for themselves and tie up with the boss, and there were few specific affairs to manage.

And now, Yang Feng wants to promote these administrators, who were originally ignored, but are actually the most indispensable in the local area, to his use.

"You all know Yan Yingyuan, right?"

Yang Feng asked the first batch of people who were summoned.

"Jiangyin Bo is a model for small officials."

A former master bookkeeper from Daxing, a warden, and two scribes lay there excitedly and said.

Yan Yingyuan was named an earl by Yang Feng because of the two merits of Shou Fengrun and Funing, and he is also the current Shuntian Mansion Yin, who not only broke through the ceiling of officials with a warden, but also knighted, and became a third-grade officer, the highest administrator of the Beijing Division, which has become a legend for all the officials of the Ming Dynasty, and all the officials take him as their life goal.

"It's good to know, do things for me well, maybe you will be the next Yan Yingyuan."

Yang Feng said with satisfaction.
