Yu Juren did not lie to Bai Guangde and his son. In fact, the landlords and gentry in the four counties of Jiaodong were conspiring together to try to counterattack the land reform decree. A battle between the government and the people was about to begin.
On July 15th, Guo Yu, a first-class police officer from the Ninghai Prefecture Public Security Police Department, accompanied his parents to the Chenghuang Temple in the northwest of Ninghai Prefecture to offer incense. Today is the Ghost Festival, which is also the Buddhist Bon Festival. According to this year
According to the custom of the moon, people come to the City God's Temple to burn incense and pay homage to their ancestors when they return home. At night, they have to put out river lanterns and pour a bowl of syrupy water outside their homes to offer offerings to the ownerless ghosts.
Different from the ghostly ghosts of the Zhongyuan rhythm in later generations of movies and TV dramas, in the Qing Dynasty, July 15th in the north was not only a festival for ancestor worship, but also a festival. Because the Jiaodong area is the birthplace of Chinese mythology, there are many temples and Taoist temples.
In addition to going to the Chenghuang Temple to burn incense, ordinary people also have social operas, yangko and lion dances in the surrounding area. In particular, there is a big market outside the Taoist temple gate, which is extremely prosperous and lively.
When Guo Yu got off the mule cart and followed his parents to the gate of the City God's Temple, he found a large group of people outside the gable on the left side of the gate, pointing at something similar to a notice posted on the wall. Because of professional
Guo Yu instinctively felt that something was going on.
"Dad, Mom, there seems to be something going on over there. I'll go over and take a look."
"Hey, be careful."
Seeing his parents helping him into the Chenghuang Temple, Guo Yu came to the outskirts of the crowd. He stood on tiptoe and looked around, and saw a guy in a long gown reading something loudly. Because the people around him were too noisy, he concentrated
After listening to it for a long time, I didn't hear it clearly until the other person read it for the second time, and my heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"...In the land of Dengzhou, there are many people who are poor, so we and other poor people are embarrassed by food and clothing, so we have no choice but to do this. However, since this dynasty entered the customs, the emperor has used us to protect the old and the young.
Just like the kindness of a child, he repeatedly collected free grains and cut off the canals to transport them by sea to help the people who were hungry. Children of all ages in the province were all grateful and joyful. The gentry from all over the country, the Dun people, are good neighbors, are enlightened, and the people are simple and honest, and everyone is at peace with themselves.
Destiny. Now there is the King of Zhao in Beihai. He has established a peasant association and stopped the way for the gentry to accept their opinions. He divides the fields in an attempt to buy people's hearts through invitations. He stops lending money and cuts off the common people..."
"shut up!"
As Guo Yu shouted loudly, the person who was trying to read the post was startled and stopped immediately, so everyone around them turned their attention to Guo Yu.
"Young students, what are you calling me! I read it very well."
"That's right, I haven't finished listening yet."
"Keep reading!"
Facing such a scene, it was a lie that Guo Yu didn't feel angry; although he was now a police officer of the Ninghai Prefecture Public Security Police Department, and he was a gangster in his twenties, but what if there was someone in the crowd?
Guys with bad intentions will inevitably suffer big losses.
Thinking of this, Guo Yu reached out and pulled out the standard revolver issued by the security police from the holster on his waist. The people around him were shocked when they saw this, and they stepped back with a loud shout, and immediately gave way to a three-foot-wide open space.
Immediately afterwards, Guo Yu handed the gun to his left hand, took out something from his arms with his right hand, stretched his arm straight out, and shouted: "The Public Security Police Department is handling the case, everyone, get out of the way!"
It is human nature to watch the excitement without taking anything too seriously, regardless of ancient or modern times, China or foreign countries. When they heard the words "Public Security Police Station", the crowd of people watching suddenly burst into an uproar. Although they took a step or two back, they stood opposite him.
Those people could not help but look at what Guo Yu was holding in his right hand.
It was a shield-shaped metal plate about half the size of a palm, shining brightly under the sunlight, with a five-pointed star surrounded by wheat ears and gears embossed on it. What was extremely eye-catching was that the five-pointed star was painted
It is red, and there is a golden "police" word above the gear.
Well, I bet the young man in front of me is really the security policeman of the Military Control Commission! Seeing that the situation was not going well, the guy who wanted to reveal the post before suddenly disappeared into the crowd with a jerk.
"Stop!" Although Guo Yu yelled loudly, there were too many people watching the excitement around. By the time he reached the gable, the guy had long since disappeared.
Guo Yu then carefully peeled off the sticker from the wall and put it away. He spoke to his parents who were kowtowing and burning incense, and then hurried back to the Public Security Police Station in Muping City to report. When he saw the man sent from Beihai Town
The director reported the incident in detail, and finally added: "Director, this matter must have something to do with those landlords and loan sharks!"
The director of the Ninghai Prefecture Police Station was sent by Beihai Town. His surname was Qi Mingbingwei, and he was a sergeant at the Fuldan City Police Station. He nodded after listening to Guo Yu's words and said in a kind tone: "
Go and call Sergeant Cao, and when I come back from the military control meeting, we will have a meeting to analyze it first."
Sheriff Cao is Cao Guifu, and Guo Yu worked with him to solve the case of the "Lao Gua Thief". Although Qi Bingwei has rich experience in handling cases, he has only come to Jiaodong not long ago, and he is a naturalized citizen.
I am not familiar with local customs and customs.
What Guo Yu didn't know yet was that, including the one he found, Ninghai Prefecture had found at least ten anonymous posters in and outside the city this morning, with roughly the same content; some were posted in temples and Taoist temples outside the city.
In addition, some are posted in the streets, bell towers and drum towers in the city.
"Jie Tie" originally refers to official documents. It existed in the Northern Song Dynasty and was used until the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The "Jianwen Lu" of the Ming Dynasty said that all those who have secret memorials and answers to orders are called Jie Tie.
Beginning in the mid-to-late Ming Dynasty, Jiejie was gradually used among the people. Among them, those that were distributed privately without signature, or pretended to be someone else's name, were called anonymous Jiejie.
This thing can be regarded as the earliest "self-media" in China. However, due to the different political environment and social atmosphere in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the role of anonymous postings in political and social life is also different; either it is to frame enemies and report them with hatred;
That is to expose lawlessness and frame up blackmail; the other is to gather people to resist officials.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! As of the late Qianlong period, there were two anonymous disclosure cases with the greatest influence in the Qing Dynasty: one was the "Pseudo-Sun Jiagan Memorial Manuscript" that was widely circulated throughout the country in the 16th year of the Qianlong Dynasty.
The culprit was never found, and the Qing government had to close the case hastily. Secondly, in the 38th year of Qianlong's reign, someone falsely accused someone of enmity and posted an anonymous notice on the doorpost of the guard's room outside Donghua Gate, and on the north side of Xihua Gate.
The red fence of the pond and the north wall outside the Shenxingsi Gate caused a sensation in Beijing.
It has been two years since Beihai Town governed the four counties of Jiaodong, and this was the first time that anonymous postings appeared. When Qi Bingwei took several seized postings to report to Li Bi, director of the Military Control Commission, the latter couldn't help but become furious.
Li Bi served as an official in the Manchu Qing Dynasty and knew what anonymous postings were all about. The key is that the timing of its appearance was too coincidental. If it had not come earlier, it would not have come later. It had to wait until the Hungry Ghost Festival, when people move the most intensively, to appear on the lower class people.
It will definitely cause a psychological impact.
You must know that at this time, the Northern Navy in various parts of Jiaodong is attacking across the board, aiming to completely liberate the entire territory of Dengzhou Prefecture, and even plans to advance the troops to the Yehe and Xiaogu rivers. If the rear is unstable, not to mention it will affect the operations of the front troops.
, he, the director of the Military Control Commission, might also be blamed by the superiors.
However, when Li Bi reported the situation to Kong Shaoan, who had just arrived in Dengzhou Prefecture, the other party told him in a telegram that there was no need to make a big splash and that he could just investigate secretly. He would show weakness to the enemy first and wait for the other party to reveal all their trump cards before taking action.
In Kong Shaoan's view, posting posts is not a big deal for Beihai Town. As long as the peasant associations in various places are organized and the work teams are led, the rural gentry landlords will not be able to defeat them. Now the opponent's intention is
It is to build momentum, and then the next step will be to "show off the real guy".
He was curious about what kind of cards these people would play. In his understanding, the landowners could only engage in food wars or merchant strikes. Nowadays, everyone in Jiaodong knows that Beihai Town has plenty of food, and it is purely selfish to play tricks on it.
Looking for a dead end. Furthermore, only Shouguang and Weixian counties in Shandong Province suffered floods this year, which did not have a big impact on the entire grain market. As for the strike, Kong Shaoan is not afraid anymore. The Beihai Trading Co., Ltd. spread across the four counties is not a decoration!
So what could it be? Kong Shaoan thought hard for half a night to no avail, and finally gave it up. Whatever you want, the sky won't fall anyway, so let's focus on reception first and get busy with land reform.
Time soon came to the end of the seventh lunar month, and Zhao Xin, who was based in Bacheng, planned to take a boat back north.
The new imperial examination in Beihai Town was about to begin on the tenth day of August. Both Wang Zhong and Yu Deli sent telegrams telling him to go back no matter what. Cangshan laymen Yuan Mei and Zhao Yi arrived with more than a dozen students taking the exam.
They are eagerly waiting to see him. Besides, after he leaves, Wang Yuanfang will come back soon.
The general framework for the future development of West Java has already been drawn up, and whoever comes later will just have to follow the established regulations. Agriculture is nothing more than rice, pepper, oil palm and rubber; mining is mainly limestone from the Bandong area.
, volcanic ash, sulfur mines, lead and zinc mines; in addition, Sumatra’s oil is also waiting to be developed by Beihai Town.
However, just as he was about to leave, several uninvited guests from Guangnan still delayed his trip.
It turned out that in mid-September last year, Ruan Guangping, the leader of the Xishan Dynasty, who had just reached the age of 40, suddenly suffered a stroke and hiccupped within two days. The successor Ruan Guangzuan was only ten years old, and the government was controlled by his uncle Pei Dexuan, who was the young master.
When the country was in doubt, Nguyen Phuc Anh was overjoyed when he heard the news, thinking that this was a God-given opportunity to send troops north. So when the monsoon came in March this year, he personally led the troops to go out, with a large number of land and water troops, and surrounded the town where Nguyen Guangping's eldest brother Ruan Yue was stationed.
Quy Nhon Province.
Lord Nguyen, who felt that his arms were thick, did not seek help from Beihai Navy this time. As the saying goes, "eating people is soft-spoken and short-handed." In order to have the confidence to get the ancient town of Hoi An back from Beihai Town, he was prepared to handle this war by himself.
It is said that it has been almost three years since the North Korean Navy occupied Hoi An. Although it is a temporary loan, it still attaches great importance to it due to its unique geographical advantages and the majority Chinese community. Zhao Xin decided to build it from the beginning.
A free port, exempt from customs duties.
As an important stop on the Western Needle Road, Hoi An is located near the international trade routes from Northeast Asia to Southeast Asia and the Pacific to the Indian Ocean. It is an important maritime transportation hub. It is connected to many ports in East Asia and Southeast Asia by shipping routes.
It can reach Guangzhou, Ryukyu, Japan, and Anping Port in the north, Java in the south, Siam in the southwest, and Luzon and other places in the east.
The superior geographical location, convenient maritime transportation conditions, active maritime trade policy, and the strong military deterrence of the North Navy quickly attracted Chinese businessmen from all over the country. Today, the Tang Street in Hoi An has once again regained its prosperity more than a hundred years ago.
The scene has become a transfer station for maritime trade in Southeast Asia. The passenger and cargo terminals are crowded with boats and oars, and the warehouses are filled with goods arriving and ready to be shipped. Datang Street is full of people, wearing clothes ranging from red to purple, fish and shrimp.
Fruits and vegetables are coming in the morning and evening.
If it was said that the tax exemption was to promote trade at the beginning, the monarchs and ministers of Guangnan could understand, but then why the tax was not collected when the market became prosperous? It would be really annoying to leave a large amount of money without making any money.
Quang Nam had tried to send tax collectors before, but they were driven away by Zhong Huai, the acting magistrate who was in charge of Hoi An at the time. Although Nguyen Phuc Anh Anh and his ministers did not even dare to say anything about this, it still took root in their hearts.
A thorn in the side made them want to capture Quang Nam Province as soon as possible and get Hoi An back.
However, what Ruan Fuying didn't expect was that although Ruan Guangping died, all the senior officials in the Xishan Dynasty who could fight were still alive and kicking, especially Pei Dexuan, the grand master who controlled the government.
How do you say that? I can't offend Bei Haijun, and I can't offend you!
After receiving a letter from Quy Nhon Province asking for help and confirming that there was only the Quang Nam Army and no Northern Navy support, he immediately dispatched four generals: Pham Cong Hung, Nguyen Van Hun, Le Trung and Ngo Van Chu to lead 17,000 infantry and 80 war elephants.
They went to support by land, and then sent navy general Deng Wenzhen to lead a navy with more than 30 warships to aid Quy Nhon.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The Guangnan Army was really moving. They were beaten and abandoned as soon as they fought. Ruan Fuying finally understood that even without Ruan Guangping, Xishan would fight against him.
Still unable to defeat him, he retreated to Pingshun Mansion with his tail between his legs in despair, not daring to challenge him again.
On the other side, although the Xishan Army won a great victory, they did not capture much loot; tens of thousands of people went on the expedition, and their journey could not be in vain. Pei Dexuanxin said that Ruan Guangping was dead anyway, and there was no need to worry about brotherhood. So he instructed Fan Gongxing and others
They led their troops into Quy Nhon, seized all the treasuries, and disarmed the Quy Nhon garrison.
Ruan Yue, who had been drunk all day long, was so angry that he vomited three liters of blood. The culprit who single-handedly planned the "Jiading Massacre" came to the end of his life. As soon as he died, Pei Dexuan confiscated Quy Nhon Mansion in the name of Ruan Guangzuan. Independent existence
The small court of Quy Nhon, which had lasted for six years, perished immediately. At this time, only the Taishan Dynasty and Guangnan Dynasty were left in Annan.
Ruan Phuc Anh was defeated, but he knew that it would not be long before the northeast monsoon arrived, and the Taishan Army would definitely move south again; after all, the two sides had been fighting back and forth like this for several years, just like pushing Pai Gow.
The problem is that Nguyen Phuc Anh was unwilling to give in, especially when he learned that the "King of Butterworth" had arrived in Bacheng and defeated the Dutch, so he sent an envoy led by Prince Nguyen Phuc Canh to go south with a congratulatory form written by himself to visit other vassal states.
The minister met Zhao Xin Zhizhi and asked Beihai Town to send troops to help him in his northern expedition.
"Ruan Phu Ying, a young minister of An Nan Kingdom, kowtows with sincerity and fear. I would like to extend my congratulations to His Royal Highness King Zhao of Beihai Town, long live long live. May the sun and moon shine brightly in the sky, and all nations will look up to the virtue of coming. The universe will be unified, all living beings will bear the blessing, and culture and education will be born."
As for the equipment, the majesty is rising and the demonic atmosphere is subdued. The subjects share the support, and the sea is full of joy, but my highness..."
In Zhao Xin's office at the Military Control Commission, Zheng Huaide, who is the minister of the East Palace of the Guangnan Prince's Palace, held up a congratulatory form and read in an ups and downs, impassioned way.
However, such flattering articles sounded like nothing to Zhao Xin, so he set his sights on the young and handsome Ruan Fujing and looked at the young man with great interest.
