Chapter 490: The Helplessness of the Little People

The sound of guns and cannons outside the city was shaking the sky, and the Xicheng District immediately became chaotic. Countless merchants and vendors got up one after another and watched everywhere in panic. They thought that it was the chieftains in the mountains attacking Chuxiong, and rumors spread like plagues.

Immediately afterwards, the gangsters and gangsters began to get ready to go, looking for companions to gather, and wanted to take the opportunity to make a big profit just like when the rebels broke through and appeared last time.

Zhifeng took action immediately and ordered his subordinates to preach loudly along the streets and alleys: "It's not the chieftain rebels, but a group of sluts who oppose the new policy. The commander has led his troops out of the city to suppress it, and he will never let sluts enter the city. Merchants, hawkers and people should be at ease not to move at home. If anyone goes to the street, he should be treated as a spy."

Then, against those who go out on the street, regardless of whether they are good or bad, they will use thunderous means to kill them. Explain the truth, explain the requirements, and thunder means to restore quietness to the west of the city in a blink of an eye.

In Beicheng, Li Shouyi heard the gunshots of Xicheng and immediately preached to the three neighbors who were standing in front of him: "The new policy implemented by the emperor and Lord Zhao Xing is dedicated to seeking benefits for you poor subordinates and getting back the benefits you were seized by the officials and gentry clans. If you want to regain the interests you should have, you will naturally touch the lifeline of those bastards. Now, they are making trouble in order to abolish the new policy good for you."

The people in the audience whispered to each other.

Li Shouyi asked loudly: "I will ask you, do you agree with the new policy implemented by the Emperor, Lord Zhao Xing and my official?"

The people all have a clear mind and bright mind, and they agree with one million.

"Since you agree, would you like to see those bastards defeat the new policy and let you be exploited again?"

The people below raised their arms and shouted: "No, no."

If you ask them to take out the benefits you have obtained, they will not be willing to do it and will resolutely refuse.

Li Shouyi was very excited, excited about the effect of Zhao Xing's method of mobilizing the masses, and the new policy he implemented was deeply loved by the people. Now he is full of confidence in the method of mobilizing the masses and the future of the new policy.

"Okay, since we don't want the new policy to be defeated, and we don't want to be exploited by officials and gentry again, facing the counterattack of landlords and gentry, what should we do when facing their rebellion?"

As soon as Li Shouyi finished asking, a young Li Zheng raised his arms and shouted: "Let's organize it, work with them, and do it to the end."

The people in the southwest are fierce and fight with the chieftains and family all day long, which makes these people at the bottom accustomed to solving problems with force and protecting their own interests. They can fight for several generations of armed forces for the water of a ditch. Faced with such huge benefits that the new policy brings to everyone, they must protect even if they sacrifice their lives.

Li Shouyi is from the north. He didn't know that the southern family had been fighting for a canal for several lifetimes. The purpose of his cheering today was to support everyone's new policy and not to be with the powerful landlords. As long as everyone stayed at home and sat on the wall to watch, they would be content. However, they did not expect that everyone would volunteer to join the battle.

At that time, Li Shouyi's confidence came: "Okay, in order to repay the emperor's kindness, to preserve the new policy, and to the welfare of future generations, we took up weapons, organized them, organized them in alleys, streets, and interiors, and fought against the powerful landlords and families who wanted to continue to exploit and oppress us.

Everyone scattered, and there was no time for a long time. There were sounds of gongs in the neighborhoods and alleys. Countless villagers were pounding gongs and calling the villagers to the top of their lungs, picking up the guys to prepare for the battle.

In a blink of an eye, torches began to rush out of the alleys, gathered on the streets, and gathered in front of Li Shouyi. Among the torches, there were not only young and strong young people, but also middle-aged, elderly, children, not only men, but also strong women. They held swords, guns, sticks, and rods to hold the door bolts, kitchen knives, rice spoons and rolling pins, and even several earthen guns.

Li Shouyi ordered excitedly: "Follow me to go to Ximen to reinforce Lord Zhao——"

No one shrank, everyone was extremely excited. The first time they did not fight for a family, they began to fight for a class.

Just as everyone started to complete the team and prepared for the battle, the gunshots of Ximen stopped, and a Jinyiwei rushed over: "Mr. Li, commander, informed that the 20,000 powerful rural brave men who rebelled had been defeated, and more than a dozen family leaders had been arrested. Please rest assured."

Twenty thousand village heroes were wiped out in less than an hour? Such victory made everyone disbelieve at first, but shocked, and eventually burst into cheers. Because of the victory, the people believed more that the new policy they agreed with had strong support, they stood the right position, and their descendants had hope.

Wanda has a headache. Nancheng is so big, and he only has 500 brothers. Even one of them is not enough to stand at the door. How can he control the destruction of those already hostile enemies? Now he is sitting on the Flame Mountain, waiting for a bang, and everyone dies together.

But Wanda is very smart. Since one can’t stand at the door and the other, then focus on the key points.

So, Wanda ordered all the brothers to take off their armor and put on their Jinyiwei's outfits again, gauze hat and flying fish suit, embroidered spring sword on the left, crossbow on the right, and three-eyed musket in hand.

This outfit is the symbol of the Jinyiwei and the pride of this group of people.

Fortunately, the Jinyiwei's efficiency is high. With the door number of Guo Shengtian's shop in Chuxiong and the names of the masters of other eight counties, there are only more than twenty companies. So why do you say that you should alert the enemy? You can directly send out twenty small banners to catch people according to the map. The rest of the brothers patrol along the street. Then put people in the room. Once fireworks start, you are welcome, and you will cut them in the house.

It must be done, "protect forests and fire prevention, catch smoke when you see it, and kill when you see it."

When Wanda kicked open the door of Caiyun Tower, the largest restaurant in Chuxiong, he came in casually and saw that there was something wrong. It was almost time to go to bed. In the lobby, there was all the shopkeepers and friends, and there was no intention of sleeping.

Seeing the door being kicked open, the fierce waiters immediately took out their weapons from their waists. Wanda said coldly: "Who dares to resist, no one will be killed."

With his order, the three-eyed musket of the Jinyiwei immediately appeared, and the black muzzle pointed at everyone in the hall.

At this time, a guy quietly retreated to the back door. He just opened the door and wanted to escape, but he and the Jinyiwei outside the door almost hit the nose, and a three-eyed musket hit his nose and forced him back.

The matter has been understood, and the big thing has been leaked. The shopkeeper suddenly shouted: "Light up."

Several guys rushed towards the hanging lantern. As soon as they set off, a musket sounded, and the actions immediately screamed and fell to the ground, and died in a blink of an eye.

Wanda walked to the shopkeeper with his hands behind his back: "Do you still set fire?"

The shopkeeper trembled and yelled: "This is--" Wanda punched him and made him look for teeth. "My master didn't tell me to withdraw his confession, so you should leave a way out for your master. As for you want to tell your master's name to scare me, I don't want to die, so I don't want to listen. That's what my master chose to listen or not." Then he kicked him down: "Come on, tie it up and block his mouth."

A small Jinyiwei flag rushed into a pawnshop yard, detained the pawnshop shopkeeper and his family, and then casually looked at the luxurious decorations in the house and tsk: "I really don't understand. If you are a businessman, you will follow the politics of the business. Is politics so fun? That is to lose your head, it is to confiscate the house and exterminate the clan, and the little people should not come in."

The shopkeeper was also looking around reluctantly: "I am the shopkeeper, but this one started to operate in the 20th year. It has been thirty years. I have regarded him as my home. If you don't let us get involved in politics, then you are the same as me. What are you doing now? Aren't you also mixed in? We are all dominated. If we do not mix, can we make the decision?"

The little flag was stunned when he heard this. But in the end he said proudly: "But I am for the revitalization of the entire Ming Dynasty."

The shopkeeper sat on the chair and continued a little decadently: "How many years have you worked in the Jinyiwei?"

This little flag said: "Start from the second year of Tianqi, I took over my father's class." The Jinyiwei is different from the Fufu Department, and the Jinyiwei is also a hereditary system of household registration.

The shopkeeper said slowly: "When the eunuch party was Tian Ergeng, did you follow the order and do the wrong? According to the current saying, are you a lackey of the eunuch party? When Luo Yangling's nature, did you follow the wrong and do the hard work against the eunuch party? And this time Zhao Xing implemented the new policy, are you Zhao Xing's accomplice again?"

This little flag was speechless.

The shopkeeper said powerlessly: "We are all small people. Is it up to you and I to interfere in politics? For example, the people outside have a wise ruler who lives, but they have a tyrant and a foolish ruler. Don't they have to live?"
