Chapter 650: Pirates (II)
"Daddy, Auntie," Qin Xiaoliu pushed open the door of his house in a hurry.
His parents were not at home, but his little sister was working behind the house, and when she saw her brother back, she happily greeted him.
"What about Daddy and Auntie?"
"Daddy went to the ground, and Auntie fell ill and died." His little sister cried.
"When did A-Niang pass away?"
"Last winter."
Because of illness and death, there are many, many people in Guangnan West Road, the original people were sick, so they asked God to ask for ghosts, and all kinds of evil witches were prevalent, and even some places killed living people and sacrificed ghosts. It was not until after the Northern Song Dynasty ruled that some officials banned witchcraft and promoted traditional Chinese medicine. But overall, it didn't work very well.
Qin Xiaoliu was sad for a while, and suddenly asked, "Little sister, why are your clothes so torn?" ”
"It's always been like that."
"It's not ......," Qin Xiaoliu thought of the task he came back to.
What happened specifically, only some of the generals above knew, Qin Xiaoliu didn't know, all he knew was that they were taken on the boat, and after vomiting and spitting upside down, they arrived on a very big island, and then they were almost fighting for most of the year.
However, in normal times, the instructors of each battalion talk to them during their breaks.
Let's just talk about the hatefulness of their village leaders.
The imperial court also levied taxes, but the taxes collected were still fed back to the people, such as building bridges and paving roads, building water conservancy schools, or organizing armies to protect their homes.
However, the actual situation of Guangnan West Road now is that the imperial court cannot collect taxes, and most of the people's expenses are taken away by various leaders, and the imperial court cannot collect taxes, so they can only transfer money and silk subsidies from other regions. But the people of other regions also have to survive. We can't reinstate the harsh levy.
Therefore, there is no money to build bridges and pave roads. The construction of water conservancy schools, so the more they are isolated, the more backward they are, and the more backward they are, the poorer they become. The fatal thing is that because there is no money and silk, the imperial court cannot organize an army, so the Jiaozhi people came, there was no way to defend, and the tragedy happened.
But Quang Nam West Road is not only an enemy of Jiaozhi, but also some barbarians in the deep mountains. They are equally ferocious, and it is the greed of these leaders that leads to a series of very harsh and bad consequences.
There are others, such as if you are the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and you are loyal only to the Great Song Emperor, and you only obey the orders of the government, not these leaders.
"How much cloth did everyone Qin give us?"
"Nope."
Qin Xiaoliu's face became embarrassed.
He is not alone in their village, and nine of his disciples were sent to be soldiers by the leader, that is, the Qin family in Qin Xiaoliu's mouth. Now come back together on a mission.
"Little sister, don't go out at home." Qin Xiaoliu commanded and turned his voice out. Find eight more buddies.
Like him, all furious.
In fact, Wang Ju gave a lot. The commercial goods worth 30 yuan are not in the capital, but in the poor Guangnan West Road, and in the poorer rural villages, which is enough for the family to live a subsistence life.
However, they almost detained the leader of the stockade together.
"Don't blame us for our injustice." Qin Xiaoliu took out the horn on his waist, and the officers and soldiers of the battalion under the mountain immediately rushed into the village and surrounded the leader Qin everyone.
This is the choice that Wang Ju gave them.
Wang Ju circled a large number of lists, and then put these trained officers and soldiers into battalions, and let the soldiers of each battalion return to the village first, if these soldiers think that they must do it, then the officers and soldiers of each battalion will do it. If these soldiers think that they have spared the life of their leader, then they do not have to do it.
Wang Ju made this decision mainly because he was afraid that these soldiers would resist.
However, this decision was indeed wise, and at least it made these soldiers feel that the Song Dynasty government respected them very much.
Led by Qin Xiaoliu and nine others who were familiar with Qin Village, the battle began and the battle ended.
Qin everyone and several other families who have the right to speak in the village and are in a dominant position were quickly attacked by the officers and soldiers of this battalion into the house, arrested one by one, and then initiated by Qin Xiaoliu, convened the villagers of the whole village, and launched a trial meeting, listed the crimes of these people, and then executed them one by one in front of everyone.
That's what the instructors teach them to do.
Then they left two people to help them divide their property, including houses and fields, among the people one by one.
Fighting local tyrants and dividing land and property, it was popular after hundreds of years, and now it is even more popular. But they are not the forerunners, the forerunners are Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun.
The rest of the people rushed to the next village.
There were many targets to deal with this time, a total of 497 leaders were listed, and only nine leaders were unclear by the scouts, resulting in miscalculation, but under the soldier's own choice, they were let go.
And it doesn't end there.
Under Wang Ju's persecution, some of the people who had been trafficked to Jiaozhi or several southern prefectures were also brought back, so a large number of human and material evidence were collected.
With the cooperation of these officers and soldiers, the government began to arrest traffickers on a large scale.
Ninety percent of them were local luxury businessmen or local ruffians, none of them were spared, all of them were arrested, and before the autumn came, they were dragged to the downtown of various states and beheaded to show the public.
But when the news reached the capital, the expressions of the various officials were extremely calm.
Even when Zhao Ji went to bed in the harem, he said to Xiang that this is a normal Wang Ju. Last year, Wang Ju's approach was called abnormal. The most interesting thing is Xiao Su, he wrote a letter to Wang Ju, saying that I was very worried last year, thinking that Zi'an had changed your temperament, but it didn't change.
The second step of rectification is over, and the third step of rectification begins.
In addition to these leaders, there are some leaders who are even worse, even if Wang Ju finally gives a sky-high reward, he will not be able to send a single soldier.
Now they began to deal with it, and according to their respective circumstances, several battalions, or a dozen battalions as an army, launched an attack on these stockades. After breaking through the village, the heroes or accomplices in the village will be executed at once. As long as the ordinary people are not evil, they will let them go together.
After these three steps of tough rectification, there is no longer any obstacle to governance.
Wang Ju took out a lot of money, hired some scholars, gave him a ten-year salary, which was paid in a lump sum, and then signed a contract to build private schools in various villages, so that they could teach the children in these villages to read and write.
This is even more unusual, Zhang Dian has already done this on Meishan and Nanjiang.
"Less insurance. I'm giving you trouble this time. Yanda said.
Three-part rectification. The first step was to kick out most of Su Maoman. The hatred is too deep to be resolved, even if there are no people, they have to find a reason to rush out of the wall. All that's left is the two steps that are now underway.
However, this costs a lot of money.
Although those maritime merchants were very supportive, their money was not lost.
And it is these maritime supporters that their financial resources are limited.
How much does it cost to use it like this?
Because of Yanda's intercession, he brought back many women, children, old and young. This is this year, and next year will bring back more and more. These people do not have to pay salaries, but they have to provide food, drink, clothing and shelter, and these children and old people can no longer work, which is equivalent to raising them for nothing, and they will have more headaches in the future.
"General Yan, it's okay, if I preside over the execution, I'm afraid I'll be softer than you." Wang Judao: "Besides, they also played a great role. Let's not talk about future uses, let's talk about the present. It was with these abundant labor that Quang Nam West Road was able to transform rapidly. ”
It's still hard to make a complete change. What Wang Ju is doing now is to play an exemplary role, infrastructure role. The roads were repaired, they were no longer blocked, commerce and trade began to come and go, and with some water conservancy, if the people could put down their bodies, the villages would be able to quickly get out of poverty. And teach them to read and write, so that they will not be so ignorant in the future.
Moreover, Wang Ju also sent many economists to guide the people on how to do it according to the situation of each village.
However, if the people in various villages want to change some bad habits, it will not be a day's work. There are also some barbarians in the deep forests of the old mountains, even if Wang Ju now has sufficient troops in his hands, they are also beyond the reach of the dust. And the beneficiary areas are mainly east of the line from Hengshanzhai to Yizhou, west of this line, and continue to be bound.
Wang Ju said: "And time is pressing, if you want to make the next plan, Guangnan West Road is undoubtedly the rear, and there must be a large rear for stable development." ”
"Shaobao, you really want to ......"
"With so many troops in your hands, why don't you want to?"
"But ......"
"General Yan, you don't have to think about it, let's see the situation next year. I can only say that I have this plan now, and I am also prepared, and I will not act if I am not 90% sure when the time comes. ”
"That's good." Yanda said.
If it can be done, Yanda is still eager to do it, that is the real military feats in the annals of history.
But if it fails, it just adds to the snake. However, in the face of Wang Ju's prestige, Yan Da did not question it too much.
Wang Ju deliberately left Yanda to eat before letting him leave.
Qiong Niang also heard it all the time on the side, and when Yan Da left, she asked: "Official, deal with ...... seriously"
"I said I was going to take you to see the Stone Forest, Shangri-La, do you think I'm talking about fun?"
Qiongniang covered her mouth and looked surprised.
In fact, Wang Ju also neglected a good view, that is, Ha Long Bay at the mouth of the Baiteng River.
Qiong Niang asked again: "The official family asked you to come to Jiaojiao." ”
"I had a fight."
"But it wasn't extinguished."
"I'm already killing Cochin."
"Hey, where is it? Officers and soldiers together in the Great Wall. ”
"It's extinguished, I don't lie to you, at most next summer, Cochin will be completely destroyed, I'm still thinking about it, or take down the city."
Before Yanda withdrew, he was once again in the southeast corner, and was captured by Lu He Rang with a large fleet of ships, as well as a large number of weapons. But because of the large number of troops in Yanda's hands, he was defeated and fled to the southern islands with his fleet.
The food on those islands was almost swept away, and you can't eat fruit every day, so it's worth it.
So Lu He asked Wei Sheng, Zhu Tingguang and others to take them to find a new place to live.
Nearly 600,000 people boarded the ship, but unlike when Yan Da first came ashore, now these people have an organization, a leader, and weapons.
With the help of the east wind, the huge fleet came to the Zhuya Military Port, which frightened the local people one by one. However, with the separation of the Great Wall, coupled with Wei Sheng's constraints, so many people did not leave the Great Wall, but only got some supplies here, and Wei Sheng got some important information and instructions here.
Then an order was given to all the people to get on board again.
The fleet split into two groups, one to a natural haven on the south side of the Baekto River, and the other to a shelter on the south bank of the Fura River, where they anchored one after another and began to go ashore.
It's not the first time, some people have experienced several sweeps, and the experience is very rich.
The sweep begins.
Or the largest piracy in history...... (To be continued......)
