Chapter 369 Go and take this fellow
More and more things were moved out of the government office, and in less than an hour, the treasury had been emptied.
Zheng Zhi rode his horse up, raised his hand to signal Zhu Long, and then set off his horse and walked towards the south of the city. He entered the north city and naturally came out of the south city. Zheng Zhi also had to speed up to rush to Hangzhou.
However, the team had just set off and had not yet left the city, and hundreds of soldiers stopped at the gate of the Nancheng City.
The street is not narrow, but it is just such a street. When the two people meet, they naturally get stuck together.
Luda was already shouting in front of her head: "Who dares to block the way of the Sa family, but she is impatient."
Zheng Zhi rode his horse forward and saw Lu Da's ferocious expression.
A general in front of him rode a nice horse forward and bowed, "I am Han Qian, the commander of the military commander of Bozhou. After receiving the order from the prefect, everyone is not allowed to leave the city."
Lu Da's hand was already at the hilt of the knife. Zheng Zhi rushed forward and signaled Lu Da, saying, "Han Commander, this military order is here, and I'm hurrying to Hangzhou to suppress the thieves. If you stop it, you will be treated as a thief. Why don't you make a clear way quickly?"
Han Qian looked at Zheng Zhi, but answered: "You must not leave the city at this time. Wait until my prefect Han comes, and the prefect Tao has his own concerns."
Zheng Zhi frowned when he heard this, and this meant that it was difficult to be kind. Zheng Zhi did this for the first time and seemed to be a little unsuccessful. He still remembered that when Tong Guan led his troops to conquer Liao, he also robbed the prefecture government office like this, but there was nothing wrong with it. He just got the first vote, but he was blocked here. He was really not patient enough in his heart.
Zheng Zhi asked, "Do you want to give it?"
Han Qian looked back at the hundreds of troops under his command and was not panicked. Han Qian thought that although the people on the other side looked strict in their military appearance, he did not believe that these people dared to hurt the military man under his command in Qiao County, and said, "I can't obey my duty."
"Okay, Han governor, since that's the case, I can't blame me for being waiting for you on the front line of Hangzhou." Zheng Zhi turned around and waved his hand. The left and right soldiers clamped their legs and bowed forward, which was the preparation for the battle.
Zheng Zhi's words were waiting for Han Qian in the battle formation, so he naturally had some meaning. Now that Jiangnan suppressed the bandits, it was the Privy Council who mobilized troops to condemn generals. It was naturally no problem to transfer the Korean commander to the front line.
Even at this moment, there was a shout from behind him. It was the Tao Master who heard the voice: "Han General, stop them quickly. The money in the yamen has been stolen by them, and your money is also in it. You can't let them go."
When Han Qian heard this, he was not willing to let him go. He couldn't listen to Zheng Zhi's threat, or he didn't understand it. He angrily said, "Even if you rob the treasury, you will not surrender such a serious crime."
"Hmph, Han Zheng, how much money is in this treasury belonging to you?" Zheng Zhi asked with a gloomy smile, and turned around and said to his left and right: "After the order, everyone is ready, and rush out to fight a horse, and no one is allowed to kill people."
Even Zheng Zhi himself didn't know how much money he got this trip.
Han Qian thought that Zheng Zhi said this was like admitting his conscience, or wanted to have a discussion, so he answered: "30% of the silver in the palace is mine. If there is no discussion on this matter, you must not take a penny away, otherwise you will not think of this city gate today."
"Hmph, 30% is not bad. No wonder you work so hard." Zheng Zhi asked just now, and wanted to determine whether the control was honest. At this time, he was sure. Even without asking this sentence, Zheng Zhi could roughly guess the hundreds of old, weak, sick and disabled people in front of him.
The world of the Song Dynasty was already rotten to the core, and honest officials were hard to find than fewer than the phoenix. No wonder there were thieves everywhere, and no wonder they were so vulnerable to the Liao and Jin Dynasties. It is right to respect scholars' national policies, but it is a big mistake to respect scholars and officials, otherwise it would be the ending now.
Three years of Qing Dynasty magistrate, 100,000 silver silver. This is true. No wonder Zhu Yuanzhang, later generations, had to peel off the skin and fill it with straw when he caught a corrupt official. Even if he was only greedy for ten taels, he had to peel off the human skin and fill it with straw. He placed it in the yamen to warn the later officials. The first thing that later took office was to see the skin that was peeled off in the yamen.
Using such excessive and insufficient means to punish literati is a vivid lesson in my mind. Unfortunately, this method gradually became a piece of paper as soon as Zhu Yuanzhang died.
"Luda, go and take this guy!" Zheng Zhi's words were already starting to beat the horse.
When Luda heard the order clearly, he shouted loudly, the horse ran up, and he didn't pull out his sword, and rushed straight towards the commander Han Qian with bare hands and fists.
Han Qian didn't expect Lu Da to suddenly attack, so he hurriedly pulled out his waist knife and wanted to resist.
Luda's situation was amazing, and the brave horse came to Han Qian in an instant.
Han Qian didn't have time to think too much, but in the reaction, he drew his sword and slashed forward, trying to block the black-faced and bearded man who was rushing towards him.
Lu Da was not hit by Han Qian. With a slight avoidance, the blade went wrong and then reached out to grab it. A man was grabbed by the air and was pressed on the horse's back by Lu Da with both hands.
Zheng Zhi also came to the side, whipping the horse whip left and right in his hand. The horse whip hit the old and weak without armor. He screamed in an instant, and they all avoided the side.
Shi Jin, Lin Chong, Yan Qing, Wu Song and others arrived later, following the same thing, and the horse whip was beaten continuously. The old and weak in Bozhou had no courage to resist, even if their own commanders were caught, they were beaten by the horse whip and they all retreated to the sides, looking for the street shop and drilled in.
These soldiers were really worse than bandits, scattered quickly and fled like birds and beasts.
The strong horses were free of obstacles, and they ran faster and faster, and the army quickly left the city.
Han Qian on Luda's horse was cursing in front of his head, but he was beaten honestly by Luda's several old punches.
Shortly after leaving the city, Zheng Zhi ordered: "Luda, throw that guy on the side of the road and ask him to go back and prepare his troops and prepare to go south to kill the thief."
When Lu Da heard the words, he said nothing and threw Han Qian into the roadside a grass and threw it down. Han Qian fell off his horse and rolled around the grass for a few times, but he couldn't stand up for a long time. However, he didn't know if Han Qian had heard Zheng Zhi's words and knew that he was going south to join the war. Just wait for Zheng Zhi to return to Tokyo with a letter, Han Qian would definitely receive a transfer order from the Privy Council to go south.
Yang Keshi, who had set out two days ago, had not arrived in Hangzhou yet. Although Yang Keshi took a boat to the south of the canal, he had just made most of his journey. Most of the orders from the Privy Council to Jiangnan and various prefectures in Zhejiang were still on the way.
At this time, the city of Hangzhou was already in full swing. Fang La was just over a hundred steps below the city, watching countless men wearing headscarves crawling up to the head of Hangzhou.
In terms of power and combat power, Fang La in history is several levels higher than Song Jiang. You can know the advantages and disadvantages of it from the territory you have captured.
Most of the elites around Fang La were truly angry rebels. In his heart, he wanted to ask for an explanation for his life where he could not survive, and he had to explain to the Song Dynasty court. This anger towards the court and corrupt officials and the gathering of righteousness and thieves in the martial arts world, his inner motivation and energy were not on the same level. One was to regard righteousness as a slogan, and the other inner resistance was righteousness.
To put it bluntly, most of the elites around Fang La were forced to robbers, and they were really "forced to Liangshan" by Hua Shigang! Most of the people under Song Jiang were bandits, and they used justice as an excuse, but there were very few people who were forced to go to Liangshan.
It was Fang La himself, who was originally a lacquer garden owner, a workshop owner who made exquisite lacquerware. Because of this flower and stone gang, the Yingfeng Bureau of Zhu Xie continued to search for free exquisite works from Fang La's lacquer garden in the name of Emperor Zhao Ji. This made Fang La's livelihood unsustainable and rose up in anger.
It was the banner of "killing Zhu Xie". In the south of the Yangtze River, responded to the enemy and hit the city of Hangzhou in three or four months. It can be seen how deeply the Huashigang has harmed the people in the south.
Even though the harm was so deep that it had reached the point of forcing the people to rebel, there was no scholar-official official in the entire southern officialdom, and they even tried to flatter Zhu Xie, hoping to get promoted and make money. Zhu Xie was even more favored by Zhenglong, and it was no problem to grant someone an official position privately. Even the Yingfeng Bureau was nicknamed the "small court in the south" by people at that time. This was the Song Dynasty ruled by Huizong Zhao Ji.
Yingfeng Bureau was briefly abolished during the Fang La Uprising, but Fang La was settled, and Yingfeng Bureau started again. This is what the artist Emperor Zhao Ji did!—
In Yunzhou, Li Gang took Zhu Wu, Han Shizhong, Yang Zhi and others and hundreds of troops heading towards Zengtou City.
Now that Liangshan has been destroyed, Zengtou City has lost its enemy and restored its former Zengtou City. The fences that were originally used for defense have also been demolished, and merchants have slowly settled in Zengtou City. Zengtou City has naturally restored its previous scenery.
Li Gang was wearing a dark red official, with two winged crowns on his head, and he could already run in front of the team.
The minions guarding the road entrance in Zengtou City saw a mansion and hundreds of iron armored knights running from a distance in front of him, who had already turned back to report to the village.
Li Gang even rushed into the village, entered the street, stopped his horse and asked passers-by, and went straight to the Zeng family mansion.
Zeng Nong, the head of the Zeng family, had already been waiting at the gate, and went away from the official uniform from afar, bowed and bowed and said, "I don't know which Shangguan Jie has come, and I have never met him, so I hope to forgive my sins."
Li Gang sat firmly and looked at the old man in front of him in a rich dress, and asked, "Are you the head of the Zeng family?"
"I was the owner of the Zeng family. I wonder where the distinguished guest Shangguan came?" Zeng Nong was naturally familiar with officials from nearby prefectures and counties. He always visited during festivals, but the young official in front of him really didn't recognize him, but he didn't dare to neglect him.
"I am the governor of Cangzhou Li Gang. Now, under the order of the Four Prefectures Administration, we come to measure the land of your Zeng family. I hope you can cooperate properly and not make any mistakes." Li Gang just got off the horse and spoke up. Since he was in a difficult situation, he could not speak well. Since China has always reached out and never slap people with a smile on his face. Since he has made up his mind, he must stop others' smiles first, otherwise it will be difficult to do so.
I have never heard of the Four Prefectures Administration. Even the Yunzhou Prefecture Prefectures had just received news from the court, and then Yunzhou was under the jurisdiction of Zheng Zhi's Four Prefectures Administration. Of course, Zeng Nong had not had time to receive the news.
"Super Guan, I really don't know that there is a government office like the Four Prefectures Administration. Please ask Shangguan why he is here to measure the land?" Although Zeng Nong didn't understand, he also knew that this young and overly young prefect came to him to have something to do.
"Measure the land acres, of course, we need to check the land outside the yamen land list to make up for the land tax that your Zeng family had stolen for many years." Li Gang said bluntly.
At this time, Zeng Nian didn't know where Li Gang was coming. His face darkened and he quickly thought about countermeasures in his mind.
Zeng Dao's branch was the big landlord of Zeng Tou City and the owner of Zeng Tou City. Most of the other people were tenants of Zeng Dao's family. Most of them rented the land in Zeng Dao's family and paid the rented grain for Zeng Dao. Zeng Dao then paid the land tax to the court. Zeng Dao naturally would not be honest enough to pay the money. The whole family made proper arrangements, and the number of land registered by the Zeng family was naturally far from the actual number of land.
This is how the family business can be quickly accumulated. The more you earn, the more you will buy the land you have done, and then you will make some money, then you will buy property and land, and it will be repeated in this way. Many of the great families have used such means, and the land mergers that both soft and hard are also carried out unknowingly through such means.
The power of the great clan became increasingly larger, and the life of the lower class naturally became more and more difficult. This was the case in all dynasties. In the later period, the problem of land annexation not only made people's lives difficult, but also a huge loss of national finance. In the Ming Dynasty, it was even worse by the end, which was also one of the important reasons why the country could not collect taxes in the late Ming Dynasty.
