Chapter 197

Huang Renjie, the governor of Chengtian Prefecture, has recently received many complaints, most of which were complaining about Li Cheng, the commander of Mianyang Guard. Li Cheng readily accepted the orders of Qinyi Mingqing Village and firmly implemented them. He knew that the successful experience of De'an Qianhu Office was worse than their Mianyang Guard. However, since Qin Yiming took over, he not only gave up the practice of raising family members and distributed the land to military households, but also forcibly recovered the military farm lost by De'an Qianhu Office. The soldiers of the military camp had food, and the entire De'an Qianhu Office was completely renewed. The combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the De'an Qianhu Office has also been greatly improved. He also hoped that Mianyang Guard could become the next De'an Qianhu Office and cultivate a group of elite troops. Therefore, he completely implemented Qin Yiming's military orders.

Many places in Chengtian Prefecture have posted notices. Li Cheng announced that within half a month, the military farms that were originally under the Mianyang Guard must be returned, otherwise he would lead troops to establish a boundary monument. This notice immediately made many people in Chengtian Prefecture worry and fear, so they found the prefect of Chengtian Prefecture together.

"Brother-in-law, you must take good care of this bastard Li Cheng. Relying on his two thousand soldiers under him, he will openly rob. This is even more bandit than bandits!" Zhang Zhi said to Huang Renjie angrily.

"Yes, Lord Huang, if we continue like this, we can't survive. We bought the military farms in this garrison for real money. This is a fair deal. Now General Qin says he will take them back and take them back. This land is our lifeblood. Does General Qin have the laws of the Ming Dynasty in his eyes, and does the Ming Dynasty court have the same?"

"That's right, in order to make himself full, can he ignore the lives and death of others? He took back all the farmlands, what should we eat?" Zhang Zhi said unhappily, and their family occupied more than 10,000 acres of land in Mianyangwei.

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, and hated Qin Yiming and Li Cheng to the core, which was like a grudge against his father.

Huang Renjie sipped the tea and listened to the complaints of the wealthy and wealthy families under his rule. In his heart, he very much disagrees with Qin Yiming's mischief and was rude and forced to do it. However, in his opinion, this matter should have passed soon.

"Hey, why is it tired? Tie the field on the top of your head! This field is really the lifeblood of everyone. Everyone, I don't know whether General Qin is clear. He was originally just a small hereditary family. He was only a martial arts master in high school this year and was highly valued by the emperor. He was the general of Huguang. The so-called new official took office for three fires, but only three fires. Things are slow and smooth. As long as everyone holds it, this matter will be over. There is no need to be so nervous." Huang Renjie was old and the style of an deputy official and the master sat steadily drinking tea, which made everyone think that this was not a big deal. On the contrary, they felt that the disaster was coming, and it seemed that it was a worry.

"Mr. Huang, but I heard that Qin Yiming had really taken back all the land of the garrison in the De'an Qianhu Institute. In order to collect his land, Mr. Hu also charged him with a charge. The head of the Hu family is the Kang family, and Qin Mangfu also copied it."

"Master Li, you don't have to be afraid. Those are rumors. As far as I know, Mr. Hu did commit a death sentence!" Huang Renjie said.

"But brother-in-law, Li Cheng, who killed that day, came to collect the fields. How could you delay us unarmed people?"

"Yes, Lord Huang, you still have to come forward!"

"Looking at you, you are in your thirties, and you are still so unsteady!" Huang Renjie scolded Zhang Zhi. Today, these local rich men came to find him, and most of them were encouraged by this good brother-in-law.

"Brother-in-law, our family has 10,000 acres of fertile land, which is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver. If you don't want it, just don't want it? Don't worry, then I'll tell my sister to go!" Zhang Zhishen Zhu looked like he was not afraid of boiling water.

"Yes, sir, it won't take long to even give it. Li Cheng gave it half a month!"

Everyone started to make excuses, but they didn't get Huang Renjie's promise and felt unsure.

Huang Renjie laughed and said, "Hahaha, no matter how powerful Li Cheng is, he is just a commander of the garrison. If he dares to rob him publicly, I will dare to arrest him. Everyone can rest assured. But this slogan is also a skill. Haven't your land been rented to those tenants? As long as you tell the tenants that Li Cheng will come and rob their land, and they will have no land to cultivate in the future. Everyone thinks that those tenants who have no food will be so honest and let Li Cheng take back the land?"

The rich man Li woke up from his dream and said, "Yes, many people rented my tens of thousands of acres of land, and there are also yours. When everyone joins together, Li Cheng will probably not be able to suppress the troops of two thousand guards. After all, the law does not punish the masses. If he forcibly suppresses, he may not have good results."

"Well, it makes sense, and once things get big, the court and Lord Huang will be able to ask about it. By then, Li Cheng and Qin Yiming will not be able to afford it!"

Everyone felt that they had found a solution to the problem and began to plot on how to organize the people to resist.

Time passed day by day, but no one came to Mianyangwei. Li Cheng was also prepared for the resistance of these landlords and gentry, so he personally brought more than 100 people to the fields to measure the land and establish boundary monuments. Any place where boundary monuments were established was their Mianyangwei's sphere of influence.

However, Li Cheng's behavior aroused the anger of the tenants. The tenants wanted to go to the fields and overturn the soil, but were blocked by the soldiers of Mianyang Guard. The anger of the people, coupled with the instigation of the gentry, was completely furious. The tenants gathered together and were at the boundary marker established by Mianyang Guard. They were holding hoes, rakes and other farm tools, and they wanted to demolish the boundary marker.

"You are unlucky people, this is the territory of my Mianyang Guard. If you dare to pull out this world mark and act like a conspiracy to rebel, you can think clearly!" Li Cheng shouted, his eyes were cold, and more than a hundred Mianyang Guard soldiers were all murderous intent.

The tenants hesitated. When they heard that they were rebelling, they were all afraid that the rebellion would be cut off, and everyone retreated one after another.

"Zhang Yuanwai, you are a relative of the prefect. If you come forward, Li Cheng will probably be a little afraid of you." The gentry instigated Zhang Zhi. These people were surrounded by Zhang Zhi on weekdays. Zhang Zhi had long been used to the feeling of being the boss, so he stood up loyally and made a fuss.

"Li Cheng, you are talking nonsense. This land belongs to us yesterday. Why did you belong to Mianyangwei today? Did you buy it for money? Do you have a land deed?" Zhang Zhi shouted.

Li Cheng is also unwilling to be outdone. Today he cannot show weakness. Once he shows weakness, the subsequent work will not be carried out.

"This is the order of Lord Qin. This field was originally owned by my Mianyangwei, but now it is just taken back."

"Hmph, we bought these fields for real money. You are not sure! What is the difference between you and robbery? villagers, it doesn't matter if we have no land, but what should you do in the future? If you don't have land for you to cultivate, how should you support your family?" Zhang Zhi began to inspire the tenants.

"Yes, fellow villagers, if you don't help us protect this land today, you will go hungry in the future, and your wives, children and children will starve to death. But if you help us protect the land today, I announce that all the land tax in the Li family will be less than 10%!"

"Yes, so are my Zhang family members, pay 10% less!" Zhang Zhi said with emotion.

The tenants were watching each other, and they were talking about each other. This was indeed a very attractive condition. Originally, these tenants were unwilling to take back the land by the garrison, and now they are even more unwilling to do so.

"Friends, rush over and push the boundary marker down. This is our field, this is our life. We cannot let these soldiers and bandits rob it!" A tenant began to yell. After some people stood up, everyone's emotions were mobilized again. The tenant farmers, who were originally as afraid as tigers, were in anger at this moment. Some people took the lead, so everyone followed the hustle and the huge team of tenant farmers began to walk towards the boundary marker of Mianyangwei.

Li Cheng shouted: "Let's take another step forward, don't blame me for being polite!"

But now the people are in a turbulent manner and everyone has lost their minds. Li Cheng's words can no longer intimidate the tenants.

"Everyone, prepare, once someone dares to remove the boundary marker, he will be killed without mercy!" Li Cheng issued a vicious order.

The two sides finally fought together. Although the tenants were crowded, they were all hoes and farm tools. The officers and soldiers of Mianyang Guard were not polite at all. The beatings made these tenants bleeding, covered in wounds, and had no eyes, and some died.

"The officers and soldiers are killing people, blind dates, let's go back!"

"Kill!"

Half an hour later, the riots of the tenants were finally subsided. After killing more than 20 people, the tenants became honest and ran away with their heads in their arms. Zhang Zhi and others also fled without a trace.

In the afternoon, Zhang Zhi and other gentry took the lead. The victims who were beaten to death by Li Cheng took their relatives to Huang Renjie with their bodies. Huang Renjie looked at the more than 20 corpses placed on the ground, and there were so many people kneeling on the ground. There were at least one hundred people here, each of which was covered in scars and blood.

"This Commander Li has no king's laws. He actually killed innocent and kind people in broad daylight. It is unreasonable to take human life so carelessly." Huang Renjie's face turned red with anger and blue veins burst out.

"Mr. Huang, you have to make the decision for us!"

The tenants kept shouting and kowtowing, and Huang Renjie looked embarrassed and said, "I understand, Master, take the lawsuit first and let these people get the case first."

"Brother-in-law, you don't care about this matter anymore?" Zhang Zhi asked.

"Sure! Of course, I have to do it. Under my rule, the officers and soldiers openly killed innocent people, so there is no way to ignore it. However, Li Cheng is the commander, and going to Mianyang Guard to arrest him may cause a mutiny. He still has to find a way to lure it out and bring it to justice!"

"How to trick me?"
