Chapter 501 The Voice of the People
The old magistrate Ding Guangxin stepped forward and whispered his suggestion: "For the Mu family, we can only defend passively and not press too much, otherwise a forced rebellion against the prince would be a serious crime. But for Governor Zhang, who can only persuade him, cannot be oppressed with power, to prevent Governor Zhang from turning against him. As long as he stabilizes him, we will win."
As he was suggesting, a tikka rushed over again and reported loudly: "Sir, Kunming officials, with their families, are shouting the slogan of clearing the emperor and maintaining the rules and regulations, and come to us."
As soon as this military information came, Zhao Xing was immediately stunned.
Because the group of people who came were officials from the entire Yunnan Province, they came to fight with themselves, but they were blatantly fighting.
Zhao Xing could use anti-corruption and integrity to slowly kill them one by one, and no one left. But if you take them down this time, you will be the public enemy of the entire Ming Dynasty and the enemy of the entire world's officials.
But when they came to kill him, how should they block him? Can't they fight back if they kill themselves? Now it seems that they really can't fight back, and they can't fight back no matter what.
And at this moment, another fast horse rushed over and reported loudly: "Mr. Commander, the chieftain, are leading troops out of the mountain, they are coming to this side."
Zhao Xing heard this and ordered decisively: "Everyone has it, let's run."
None of the gangs that came were able to withstand that they could resist. The only way was to run away. Of course, they could not escape back to the north. In order to make the reform plan, they must stick to Chuxiong.
Chuxiong's four gates closed with a bang. Zhao Xing ordered everything to stick to Chuxiong. How long will it last? The Beijing camp in the capital was rushing south to rescue the siege.
From the capital to here, the journey is long, thousands or tens of thousands of miles. According to the speed of the Ming Dynasty, it takes less than 30 miles a day. Even if the fat man is eager to save his brother-in-law, it will take at least one year to wait for the army to arrive here.
But even if he died in battle, he had to hold on to Chuxiong. This is the plan for the country's dynasty for a hundred and a thousand years, and this flag must not fall.
So, the entire Chuxiong immediately mobilized, and Zhifeng led the Tiqi to whistle around the city, arresting all the instability, arresting all the rebels who had participated in the rebels, throwing them into prison without hesitation, and eliminating hidden dangers in the city.
Li Shouyi, with a group of passionate and passionate scholars, stood at various commanding heights on the street, hoarsely explaining the benefits of the new policy to the people of the past to the people. He called on everyone to stand up, defend the new policy, protect their own interests, and defend the country.
Zhao Xing has no soldiers now, so he wants to use this way to mobilize the people to increase soldiers and strengthen his support foundation. He doesn't believe it. This magical weapon that will not work in later generations, whether it is the Northern Expedition, the War of Liberation, the War of Resistance Against Japan, will not work here.
As long as you gain the support of most people, even if the four enemies outside the city really unite, you will have absolute confidence to defeat them.
Zhang Laoshi entered the city yesterday and was about to take out the remaining money from the autumn grain I just sold and buy a flowery clothes for his granddaughter. As a result, he left late. Suddenly, there was turmoil in the city and the city was locked down. He was trapped in the city.
As a result, he spent the whole night in fear, with the sound of cannons shouting and killing, the city shouting and killing, and the city screaming and killing, and the outside of the city made him feel like he was living in hell.
Just now the day was bright, and the city gate was opened. The government issued a notice, ordering all the idle people in the city to leave the city immediately, with relatives to join relatives and friends to rely on friends. In other words, those who can leave must leave the city. It was also announced that the officials outside the city who opposed the new policy had colluded with the chieftains and were ready to occupy Chuxiong again.
For justice and the interests of the people, the commander-in-chief Zhao was ready to stand here and wait for reinforcements. He said without any concealment that the reinforcements they were waiting for would not arrive at as early as a year.
In other words, if Chuxiong can defend himself, he will eventually be besieged for a year.
The siege was the most tragic form of war. Just last year, the rebels of the chieftains besieged Bijie for a year and a half. When the city, which originally had a population of 50,000, was finally rescued, only more than 400 elderly, weak and disabled soldiers walked out of the city gate. Where did the rest go? They were all burned by carnivorous and bones. However, after paying such a great price, the Ming army still defended Bijie and won the victory of the war.
Thinking of such a tragic situation, Zhao Xing made a quick decision: "I love the people and cannot harm the people. I want to turn the entire Chuxiong into a large barracks and the tomb of the remaining 4,000 soldiers of my Jinyiwei. At the same time, evacuating the people will also reduce the material consumption of the entire city and allow us to persist for a longer time."
That's why this big move took place, which also reduced the safety hazards in the city.
Zhang Laoshi followed the crowds and walked out of the city, preparing to go back to his home to avoid this war.
However, at the gate of the city, he saw a young gentleman standing on a table, loudly promoting the good of the new policy, revealing the bastards outside the city, who wanted to erase the sinister intentions of the new policy in the bud, and let the people of the world bear the burden again. The imperial grain tax that the men should have should bear, so that the people of the world could bear the burden of the heaviness that they could not bear.
Although this young man said something a bit literary and difficult to talk about, Zhang Laoshi, who had just experienced that lawsuit, really felt the benefits of the new policy. If it weren't for the new policy, he had still been inexplicably seized the land of his ancestors, and he was still penniless and desperate. How could he be like now? He just paid five cents of silver to the yamen, but half of the food left in his family. He left behind the grain after two meals of porridge a day and sold the remaining ones. Not only did he pay off the debt of the King of Hell, but he also had the remaining money, and bought a flowery dress for the 6-year-old granddaughter, so that he would no longer run around the streets naked from now on.
Someone wanted to return to his original days, which he would never agree to, so he hurriedly ran home, found Liu Laoshi and Zhao Laoshi, and told him the news.
They are all honest people, and honest people have the judgment of honest people. Whoever is good to them and who is bad to them has a scale in their hearts.
So Zhao Laoshi picked up the machete of the savage behind the door, weighed it, and then called his two sons: "You can have today all the kindness of Lord Zhao, all the kindness of the New Policy. Now Lord Zhao is in danger, and the new policy is in danger. We must sacrifice our lives to protect them to repay them for their kindness. Let's follow me into the city and guard Chuxiong City."
Zhang Laoshi grabbed him: "In order to reduce the consumption of food in the city, Lord Zhao has to let the people go out of the city to hide. Since we have to help, how can we cause trouble for him?"
"What do you mean?"
"We are all honest people. We have to bring our own food rations. This is how we can really help the boss."
When a few honest people heard this, they nodded: "You are right. This is to help others, not to cause trouble."
Then Zhao Laoshi said: "Fortunately, we have some surplus food this year, bring it with us."
