MTL - Han’s Son is Not a Slave-Chapter 1094 No money, no land

The name Ma Dalong made Zhao Xiangwei somewhat familiar, but he could not remember who he was. The update was the fastest for a while, and then I wondered if it was Ma Dalong, the sutra teacher at Baihe Temple who specializes in collecting debts for people? If it is this person, Zhao Xiangwei is a little disgusted, because Ma Dalong is a religious person, and he usually takes a group of religious people to live. I don't know how Master Mingzhu got in touch with them.

The urgent news from his subordinates did not shock Mingzhu, nor did it make him lose his color. Instead, he sat down very calmly and said calmly: "Paper can't cover the fire, the Southerners will know about Songjiang eventually, Ma Dalong will know. They just led people to attack the Jiading county government office, how could the people in the south not keep an eye on them? It is also to be expected to start an early attack."

"Sir, what should we do then?"

Mingzhu's subordinates did not have the calmness of Mingzhu. Ma Dalong led the parishioners to revolt in advance and he was a little panicked, worried that the Nanren government would find them, so that the efforts of the past year would be in vain.

Mingzhu pondered for a moment, then instructed his subordinates: "Since the churchgoers have moved, this matter can't be delayed. Nothing in the world is perfect, no matter how much preparation is made, it will be unexpected. You immediately send people to contact different places and start immediately. It's a matter!" After a pause, he said again: "Remember, after the uprisings in various places, the first attack on the yamen of the county and the city is to control the city, and you must not operate in the countryside, otherwise, you will be surrounded and suppressed by the Taiping army."

After he finished speaking, he took out a stack of blank official certificates from a box, all of which were covered with the seal of the Ministry of Officials of the Qing Dynasty. Mingzhu handed these blank official certificates to his subordinates, and asked him to send them to the gentry who participated in the uprising in various places. As for the official seals, they have to wait for the completion of the task before they can be engraved. However, if the gentry absolutely must, they can also be engraved in wood first, and then replaced with copper seals later.

Mingzhu's subordinates took over the stack of official certificates with some excitement, as if the stack of official certificates were priceless. Zhao Xiangwei's eyes were also fixed on the stack of official certificates, and his eyes were extremely envious. After his subordinates went out to work, Mingzhu turned to Zhao Xiangwei and said, "You have to start moving right away. After this is done, a Songjiang mansion will always be without you."

"Thank you, Lord!" Zhao Xiangwei was shocked, and quickly thanked Mingzhu, and then said: "My Lord, the villain thinks that those clergymen are untrustworthy, especially that Ma Dalong, who is not enough to succeed, and more than enough to fail."

Mingzhu nodded and said softly, "I know the religious people can't be trusted, but do you know why I should contact those religious people?"

"The villain doesn't know, please ask the adults to show it."

Zhao Xiangwei really didn't know why Mingzhu-sama wanted to contact the parishioners to revolt. According to his idea, as long as he mobilized the Jiangnan gentry to unite against the Taiping Army, with the help of people's hearts, he would have at least six points of success. However, if the parishioners were also involved, many gentry would be puzzled, and even some gentry who were usually dissatisfied with the parishioners said that they would not change their minds and would no longer participate in this matter.

Nalan Mingzhu had been in Beijing and Beijing in the future, and he would go to the south of the Yangtze River in the future, but he also knew the parishioners very well and knew that these people were unreliable. In the past, the Qing court was also wary of religious people, presumably because these people had education and no state, regardless of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, they were not the state in their hearts. If it is said to be close, I am afraid that only the Mongolians can make the disciples treat each other sincerely, because if it were not for the Mongolian Yuan, the disciples would not have come to China from the far west. It is also because of Mengyuan that the religious people occupied almost all the positions of middle-level officials in the Yuan Dynasty, and the garrison in the south of the Yangtze River was also the Semu army composed of the religious people.

It can be said that in the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, it was not the Yuan army who really suppressed the Han people in Jiangnan, but the clergymen. Because of this, the Han people in the south of the Yangtze River were very disgusted with the disciples. In the Ming Dynasty, if the disciples hadn't participated in the Jingan disaster and helped the King of Yan become the emperor, I am afraid that they would have disappeared in the south of the Yangtze River, and they would have disappeared now. However, even if he knew that the Han people in Jiangnan were disgusted and disgusted with the Christians, Mingzhu had to contact them for the simple reason that the Christians were more united than the Han people.

"The number of religious people is small, but there is a religious temple presided over, and the people's hearts are more united. Once there is an incident, it can be ordered and banned. It is better than your Han people."

It has been decided to start a fight in advance, and Nalan Pearl has nothing to hide from Zhao Xiangwei. After all, the churchmen can play a big role in the early stage, but the gentry in Jiangnan will ultimately decide the success or failure.

According to Mingzhu, the parishioners are more united and organized than the Han Chinese. Suddenly, the Ming Dynasty officials were unprepared, and the religious people could cause great destructive power and impact in a short period of time. This was a more powerful weapon for destroying Jiangnan than the scattered gentry with different ideas. Although they have always told Zhao Xiangwei and others that once Jiangnan rises, the Qing army will immediately go south from Xuzhou, but in fact Mingzhu knows that even if Jiangnan is really in chaos, as long as the Central Plains are still threatened by Wu Sangui, the Qing army will not be able to cross the Yangtze River, or even Beilertuntai on the Xuzhou side did not dare to send a single soldier to Yangzhou.

What Mingzhu really wants to do is to make Jiangnan in chaos, to make the Taiping army's money and grain become red land, and to make the dead mountains and blood seas here. As long as Jiangnan is in chaos, it is impossible for the thieves to have enough manpower and material resources to go north. The two-sided battle that the late emperor was worried about will become a way to deal with Wu Sangui, which greatly reduces the pressure on the Qing Dynasty. As long as the Central Plains can be stabilized and Wu Sangui can be repelled, Daqing can get a chance to breathe.

In other words, what the Qing army could not get on the battlefield, he Mingzhu wanted to fight for the Qing Dynasty by himself. He didn't care how many people died. He is Manchurian, not Han. As long as the parishioners can act as the vanguard of this turmoil and ignite the fire of a prairie prairie, the Pearl will also respond to their demands. If the parishioners could really perform a miracle, that would be great.

........

The situation was really pointed out by Mingzhu. Ma Dalong, who killed the master Bo Ding Ladong and personally killed his wife and a pair of children, instigated a revolt by the Jiading church people. However, Ma Dalong and others did not immediately enter the county seat as Mingzhu said, executed Ming officials, took control of the city, and then rectified the troops and horses, and cooperated with the rising gentry from various places to launch an attack on the prefecture, provincial capital and even the south. Aimed at the Han people in the nearby villages.

Outside the Jiading city, the most eloquent, the people did not seek money or land, and did not have any plans. They only knew that the Han people in the surrounding villages were hunted, and the Han people, regardless of gender, age, and child, went from village to house, and all of them were killed with bamboo spears. To burn to death is to kill for the sake of killing.

The number of clergymen involved in the uprising was actually not large. The first group of Ma Dalong to attack was only more than 1,000 people, while there were tens of thousands of Han people in their area. However, when dozens of organized religious people rushed into the Han villages, none of the thousands of Han people in Zhuangzi dared to resist, nor could they organize any resistance force. The Han were completely unprepared, either being killed on the spot or running away in fright. A few **** Han people came forward with kitchen knives and sickles to fight with the parishioners, but because they were outnumbered, they were slashed and killed on the spot by the parishioners.

The riots spread rapidly to various places. Before the government recovered and organized officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress them, the Han people in Songjiang had already been killed and injured in large numbers, and more than 30,000 people were killed. The reason for this is that apart from the sudden revolt of the churchmen and the Han people did not notice it beforehand, the main reason is that after clearing the debt, most of the clan forces in Songjiang and other places were destroyed by the Taiping Army, which made the Han people unable to organize quickly. Destroyed by the parishioners.

Even Nalan Pearl did not expect that the churchmen he simply wanted to use would have such a destructive power.

The religious uprising took advantage of a huge loophole in the Taiping army's policy, that is, when they attacked the forces of the gentry and landlords in the south of the Yangtze River, they did not quickly form their own forces.

The best way to organize people is obviously to "build villages and build townships". The village has a security team, the township has a security squadron, the county has a security team, the villages are jointly guaranteed, the villages and towns are mutually guaranteed, and the county and county team security. In this way, as soon as something happens, the locality can immediately organize its strength to protect itself, instead of being immediately destroyed.

When Zhou Shixiang started to clear his debts, he had already decided to promote the construction of villages and townships in the south of the Yangtze River, and to organize the public security forces from the bottom to the top. However, he ignored a most basic problem, that is, Jiangnan is no better than Guangdong, and the local population is extremely large and extremely xenophobic.

The premise of building villages and townships and establishing people’s self-protection forces is that the Taiping Army must be able to firmly control the villages, and the village chiefs, township chiefs and security captains at the grassroots level must all belong to the Taiping Army. People who are close to the Taiping Army and have great prestige among the local people, and more importantly, grass-roots officials must integrate with the local people and be accepted by them. Only in this way can the people be mobilized and commanded.

However, the fact is that the Taiping Army has occupied Jiangnan for less than two years, and has not recruited troops on a large scale in Jiangnan, which has led to the retirement of the army. Even soldiers from the Northern Green Battalion.

These outsiders in the eyes of Jiangnan people obviously cannot be accepted by the local people in a short time. Even though the officials of the Taiping Army implemented a series of policies that benefited the peasants, attacked a large number of the gentry and landlord classes who exploited the peasants, and freed the peasants and tenants from the personal dependence of the clan, they still did not gain the real support of the people in the south of the Yangtze River. Many village chiefs can temporarily suppress the local area and do their jobs well on the surface, entirely because the local people are afraid of the Taiping soldiers behind them like wolves like tigers, rather than genuinely feeling the goodness of the Taiping army, so they actively support the Taiping army.

The "Crying Temple Case", "Debt Clearing Case", and "Tonglu Case" severely hit the gentry class in the south of the Yangtze River and did not touch the interests of the common people. In whoever is in the hands, whoever has the human heart can replace.

In Jiangnan Shangwen, people have great respect for scholars, and even more sincere admiration for the gentry who are famous and famous. This will not change because the gentry is locked up and taken to prison. As far as the "Crying Temple Case" is concerned, the handling of Jin Shengtan and others can be described as resolute and decisive, but the impact is far-reaching. rw
