Chapter 651: Kill One and Drive a Hundred
The Du Qiao ancestral house of the Du family in Yimen, Taizhou, was already in a panic at this time. There were screams everywhere, and there were figures scurrying around. But they don't know where they can escape. In fact, they have no way to escape at all now!
Because the gates of the house have been shut. All the young and strong talents of the Du family gathered behind the gates with knives, guns, bows and crossbows and sweating profusely. Even some of the little ladies of the Du family are ready to participate in the battle with short knives and short swords, including the Du Thirteen Sister who is the toad's crush.
This twenty-year-old girl should have been a mother in a civilian home a long time ago. But if you were born in the Yimen Du family, you can't just find someone to marry. The showmen of the Yimen family all want to marry after winning the Jinshi, and the sisters of the Yimen family naturally want to marry the Jinshi, but how many Jinshi are there? How can these eldest ladies get their share? But before the age of the upcoming person Lao Zhuhuang, how many young ladies are willing to die? As a result, this scholarly Yimen was prolific and leftover with men and women.
However, the little ladies of the Yimen family in the Southern Song Dynasty were not as imagined by later generations, they were all young women who played piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in the boudoir with their little feet, and pretended to be literary and artistic...... They are little ladies from Yimen, and they are not the red heads in Wazi Lane, so they don't need to play literature and art to hook up the old man. Just know some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, whether it is profound or not is still in personal interest, and it will not be forced by the family.
Moreover, because the Southern Song Dynasty has been in the war for a long time, the women of the Yimen family also have a considerable chance to follow their husbands to the war zone, and it is also possible that they need to teach their children to practice martial arts when they marry into the Jiangmen, so the Yimen families do not prohibit women from practicing martial arts. At the same time, they are not forbidden to go out for a walk, and they are not necessarily bound to their feet. The foot binding of the Song Dynasty was not the same as that of the Ming and Qing dynasties, but it was only side-wrapped. In order to make their feet look good, it's not that they are not allowed to walk. But for the little lady of Yimen. They don't rely on a pair of beautiful feet to seduce men, it doesn't matter if they are wrapped or not.
Therefore, the famous ladies of the Song Dynasty had female poets like Li Qingzhao. There are also female warriors like Chen Shuzhen - Chen Dexing's distant relative, the daughter of Chen Zilong of the Xinghua Chen family, born in a Yimen family, her father is the champion, her husband is a jinshi, but she is a martial artist.
Sister Du Shisan, like Chen Shuzhen, is an active girl, she has no heart to practice calligraphy and painting, but she learned some martial arts from the head of the gun and stick at home. At this time, she had already accompanied several elders of the Du family to a tall watchtower in the courtyard. He was looking out curiously. Look at the smoke column and flames. Screams and shouts of killing were heard, ominously coming here. In her heart, she thought of the Northern Ming Shijue, the Three Classics of Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao Academy-she had vaguely heard that the chief Heavenly Daoist envoy of the Great Ming State Sect was a Jiangnan woman...... What kind of woman is that, who can be in charge of the world's number one religion!
I heard that her status in the Northern Ming Dynasty is on par with figures like Prime Minister Huang Zhishen and the four Shangshu of the Military Department! What a strange woman this is!
Sister Du Thirteen also heard that the Tiandao Academy in Beiming is co-educational and learns the same skills. Women can be knighted and knighted, what kind of country is this......
Old man Du Wendu's face was pale at this time, and his old face was almost distorted. He is the same generation as Prime Minister Du Fan. Of course, he is much younger, and he has not been admitted to the Jinshi after reading the sage books all his life, and he has not even passed the Taizhou examination. I have never left Taizhou in my life. When she was forty years old, she married an old lady of the Jia family (who is the same generation as Jia Yidao) and gave birth to a pair of children, and her daughter was Du Thirteen Sisters. The big name is Du Qiong'er.
His son Du Fu is still young, only twelve years old. He is a famous prodigy in the clan, and he is very promising in the Jinshi, so he was pinned on by Du Wen, and until the Ming army attacked Du Qiao, he was still making a fuss in the study. But now, the little prodigy was standing behind her sister tremblingly.
“…… Thirteenth sister, tenth brother, fifteenth brother, are they back? They won't be killed by thieves, will they? What now...... The thieves are coming, they, they're not going to kill us all, are they? ”
Listening to his son's words, Du Wen could only close his eyes in pain. The remnants of the regimental training army of the Ten Xiucai and the Fifteenth Xiucai will have returned a long time ago, and they have also brought the news of the defeat. An army of nearly 2,000 people was defeated in less than half an hour by the Ming army, which was about the same number...... It's so vulnerable! What show is in charge of the troops, and what Taizhou people guard Taizhou, it is a joke at all. The Ming army swept through the Central Plains and expelled the Mongols, how could the heavenly soldiers be able to resist the Xiucai and farmers in Taizhou?
This time it's really a show to meet a soldier, and it's unreasonable. When the Ming army finishes cleaning up the regimental training that is still resisting sporadically, it is time to come to fight the Du family's ancestral home! There are thousands of men, as well as nearly 2,000 old and weak women and children, but they are all meat on people's chopping boards......
The bright steel armor of the Ming army has gathered around the Du family's mansion from everywhere, banging on the doors everywhere, and the Du family's talents and servants have gone up to block the door, and they have also moved a lot of furniture to pile up at the door.
Du Wen Old Man Du was already in tears, but he still tried his best to hold back, "The Du family is a catastrophe today!" The whole Jiangnan, the whole world, is in this catastrophe...... The country is ruined! Anyone who has the official body of the Zhao family has remembered that there are no two loyal ministers! If anyone can pass this level, don't forget your surname Du! ”
Du Thirteen Sister supported her father, but she was not as panicked as her father, Du Qiao is Haikou, and before the promulgation of the sea ban, there were also many maritime merchants, and some people brought tabloids published in Zhoushan. Sister Du Thirteen bought it and came to see it, knowing that the Ming army was strictly disciplined, knowing that Chen Dexing was also a Lin'anzi, and knowing that he was the princess Zhao Lin'er who rebelled against the Great Song Dynasty, how could such a heroic son and son kill innocents indiscriminately?
And now it's just a change of surname, not the overturning of the world. The Zhao family has enjoyed the country for three hundred years, and the number of qi should be exhausted, so what is there to change the surname Chen to be the emperor now? Why did the Du family bother to be martyred for the Zhao family?
"My lord, why don't you please descend...... In this way, the Du family can maintain a little more vitality. ”
Sister Du Thirteen knew that she didn't have the right to speak here, but someone had to say this. “…… How long can you last by a few gates? When the gate is broken, the Ming army will rush in and kill people! In the midst of the chaos, what can't be done? On the contrary, it was the Du family that surrendered, and the Ming army could not let go of the slaughter. Even if there is any punishment, this knife board will not fall immediately, there is always a buffer room for maneuver! ”
Du Wen was stunned, although his daughter was a woman, she had some insight and a relatively calm mind. Today, this is even more reasonable...... Now is not the time to protect the Great Song Dynasty, it is the time for the life of the Bao Du family. Let people enter the Du family's ancestral house, then it is to let go of the killing! If you surrender, these two surnames will fight for the world, as if there is not much to kill and surrender, right? Besides, how old is the Du family in Jiangnan? If the Du family wants to exterminate the clan, Jiangnan Yimen will probably have to kill it all. Looking at what Chen Dexing did in the past, he was really not so brutal.
"Yes, yes, yes...... The old man is really confused! "Du Wen stomped his feet, he has never been the person in charge of the Du family, and now he was only pushed out because the patriarch and Du Shixiu were not there." Please, hurry up, please! He looked left and right, "Which of you is going to take a trip and ask the Ming army to surrender?" ”
Take a trip? Several elderly talents hurriedly lowered their heads. Go to the battlefield and ask for surrender, this thing doesn't sound reliable, but don't put your life into it.
Seeing that no one answered, Du Qiong'er bit her silver teeth, "My lord, let my daughter go for a walk!" ”
……
"Xu Guanren, our Du family is willing to hand over all the family property, just to stay in Taizhou hometown to farm!"
Du Shixiucai, at this time, was led to Xu Ziyuan's temporary office in the Dudu Salt Factory, and met Xu Dazhi County. This salt field was managed by the Taizhou Prefecture Government, and as soon as the Ming army came over, the officials and soldiers dispersed in a hurry. So Xu Ziyuan, who landed, took his county government office and stationed under the escort of a company of Ming troops.
"All the property?" Xu Ziyuan just smiled and shook his head, "It's not as serious...... Except for the Du family's land, everything else can be disposed of by yourself. Take what you can, and sell what you can't. ”
In addition to the land, the Du family also has many shops, houses and a half-dead business. None of this is included in the confiscation of the public - the confiscation of the house is also a delicate job. The easiest thing to confiscate is the land, where it is placed, and there is no way to escape and hide. Whether it is a clan field, a school field, or an ancestral field, it is just confiscated, and these fields are all planted by tenants, but the people who collect rents change them.
The second is the shops and commercial houses, these things have to be operated well to be valuable, send a few soldiers to the past to paste the seal, then I don't know when it will be opened. It's better to let the Du family handle it themselves - most of them are also handled at a low price to the Du family's stewards and associates.
The most difficult thing to get is the gold and silver soft and antique calligraphy and painting. Either it was damaged in the process of raiding the house, or it was greedy for ink by the official who presided over the raid, and if one-tenth of it fell into the official treasury, it was already burning high incense. Therefore, Chen Dexing simply only collected the land and did not raid the house, and let these unlucky righteous men realize houses, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and then divided the gold and silver into soft and soft, and then went their separate ways. In this way, when they arrive in the penal colony, they can also have some capital to start their lives again and run some industries.
Chen Dexing wants to exile the backbone of Jiangnan Yimen, in addition to wanting to break their control over the land and population of Jiangnan, so that Jiangnan, which has become a pool of stagnant water, can be revived as soon as possible. It is to increase the Han Chinese population in the Northland, New World Colonies, Southern Colonies, Oceania Colonies, and Tianzhu Colonies.
As Chen Dexing's secretary, how did Xu Ziyuan not know Chen Dexing's true heart? However, it is really not an easy thing to drive so many Jiangnan Yimen away from the old nest, it depends on what tricks Sage Chen has! (To be continued......)
