Chapter 283 This world is Daming's world, not his Zheng Zhilong's world
In the eyes of the literati and officials of the Ming Dynasty, it was more impossible to let the clerks work honestly than to be greedy for money, lust, and fame.
Therefore, in the eyes of the literati, the clerks are shameless and despicable, and are treacherous. This is a major reason for the collapse of the imperial court's great cause.
But you can't deny that clerks are much more tactful than scholars.
As long as you have strong means and can hold their pain, these people will submit.
As for how to grasp their pain, this is where the scholars and officials are far inferior to the Zheng family. The latter was in the social environment of the late Ming Dynasty. As the ruling class of this society, they naturally had to abide by the rules of this society. But the Zheng family was not like this!
Zheng Zhilong was holding a knife and making a tough move.
The literati and officials also had to use the court's laws to cut and kill clerks, and the Zheng family killed clerks, like Jiang Zhe was in Jiaozhou, so there was no need to tell Zheng Zhilong, and there was no need to report to Zheng Zhibao.
The knife pressed the neck of the clerks, threw a list of gentry to them, and honestly wrote down everything he knew and what Zheng Jun wanted to know. He did not whisper between each other, but he had to complete it alone. Whoever dared to be scammers and slick, took out the results and referenced them to each other, but it was clear at a glance.
There are not many regular yamen runners in the entire household, but there are many idle servants. They also know a lot of these little guys. They are the second filter.
Those who have made merits will be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes will be punished.
Whoever dares to play with false things is his own brain.
On the contrary, if anyone is honest and dedicated, the Zheng family will also reward you based on their merits.
The lightest thing is to reduce their sentences, shorten their imprisonment periods, and increase their treatment (such as land acres) is also a reward. Changing the dispensation of Nanyang to dispensing senior officials is even more rewarded; the heavy thing is to "restore official positions", which are all great contributions and can continue to be a public servant under the rule of Zheng Jun. Most of them are in the county.
Zheng Zhilong doesn't think the clerks can withstand this different treatment, and with the support of a knife.
...
In a schoolyard outside Qishansuo City, thousands of young and strong men stood up solemnly. These people have joined the army recently, but have not been able to pass the training of new recruits.
In the past, they would have been formed into public security forces, which can be said to be the second line among the second line.
But now they have a new way out, which is to be a policeman.
Not far from this schoolyard, there is a larger schoolyard, with more than 3,000 people standing inside.
They were further eliminated soldiers, and the main force was Xiao Yuanying.
Compared with Zheng Junxin’s new army, the people in front of him, and the thousands of people in the past can be described as “skewed and cracked”.
After all, for teams like Xiao Yuanying, the scope is still very wide. As long as they are healthy and not too old or too young, they will be incorporated into the Public Security Army.
These people are now eliminated under such broad standards, which is really a "bad person".
At least 20% of people are over forty years old and have gray hair. Another adult is too young, from 11 to 16 to 17.
It's only so old now. It can be seen how young Yuan Shizhong was when he was reorganized.
Yuan Shizhong was also helpless.
This is the rebel army in the late Ming Dynasty. Who is not a group of old men who are old and weak, women and children following a large group of old, weak, women and children?
This is true for both Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, and so is his Yuan Shizhong.
In Yuan Shizhong's opinion, all of these young and old were sent to farm. Or they could go to Changshan Island to build salt fields.
And they did go there at the beginning. But no one expected that they would be called again after two years of this stable life.
However, unlike when they were reorganized, these people now have a rosy complexion, and at least they have a full stomach. Instead of being the same as before, they are all malnourished.
Yuan Gang was mainly busy with this these days, gathering the crooked jujubes who had long been "retired from the army and returned to the fields". Some of the people there were still his old acquaintances, and many people could even call out their names when they walked past him one by one.
"These people cannot fight, but if they chase money and food, it will be enough." Yuan Gang recalled Feng Chengshi's words in his mind, and that was nothing wrong. Although they were a group of mobs, it was enough to be used as yamen runners.
In the past few days, I have been practicing with these people, mainly performing in a queue.
The unified uniform, black sticks, sharp single swords, and uniform standard movements are really amazing.
This is Zheng Zhilong's policeman, and he is a riot policeman who has the duties of the armed police.
Zheng Zhilong will set up police officers in the prefectures and counties under Denglai himself, and each local police station is also affiliated with this explosion-proof team!
The latter selects young, strong and powerful people from these people, and that is not just a single sword for uniforms, sticks, but also a vine armor, shields and grenades, which are a real "quasi-' military force.
——The breastplate and crotch skirt woven with old rattan strips are lined with leather inside, and there are shin-protected rattan pieces from top to bottom, including the calves. The helmet is a rattan hard helmet similar to the rattan helmet of later generations. The face can also be covered with curtains, and when worn, it is a rattan armor soldier.
With swords, guns, sticks, and grenades, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can resist.
Ordinary policemen are covered in black skin, one with one thick and the other thin, and the length is similar to a baseball stick. Even the swords and guns that are sharpened will not be popularized by them.
But it is enough to use it to hit people and search the house.
This is the capital used by the Zheng family to recover the tax arrears. When these people were "fully armed" to Denglai and Qingzhou, Zhifu's control over the entire Shandong Province would definitely rise to a higher level.
Time is the most unforgivable thing to stay. In the blink of an eye, just as the gentry in Denglai was in panic, police stations in various places had already been established.
As the "Scarlet Melons and Scratched Jujubes" went smoothly to various places, a large-scale home search operation was launched at the same time.
The first thing that was used for the operation was some "insolvent" guys.
For example, Yuan Gang, the general inspector of the Denglai Police Bureau, saw the Ma family in Zhaoyuan County.
Zheng Zhilong had some small opinions on the police rank of Rabbit Kingdom in his previous life, that is, he felt that the police supervisor felt stronger than the police supervisor.
There was a great commander in ancient China, and there was a military commander in modern times. "Super" is considered a bird? Is it the supervisor or the supervisor? Or the eunuch?
So, when it was his turn to be the leader, when formulating the police system, he placed the police supervisor (police inspector) above the police supervisor (police supervision).
Yuan Gang was a distant relative of Yuan Shizhong. In terms of seniority, Yuan Shizhong also called Yuan Gang Master. Before, Yuan Gang had been one of the captains of the personal guards under Yuan Shizhong's account. Later, after joining the Zheng family, Yuan Gang did not want to make a living from swords and guns, so he transferred to the internal security team.
Zheng Zhilong is also a strait team, so it is not difficult to make a name for himself. Just like Feng Chengshi, he was just a minor writer, but he was lucky to catch up with the "Big Bang" period of Zhifu. From an early military stronghold, you can imagine how small the one who took the pen was at that time. In just three years, it quickly expanded to its current scale.
When Zhifu was just a military stronghold, Feng Chengshi was not conspicuous; but when Zhifu was already in charge of Qilu, Feng Chengshi was qualified to take the highest and most dazzling political stage in the Qilu area. Although he could not occupy a very central position, he was definitely a famous and famous person.
The same is true for Yuan Gang.
It took only two years from the police captain to the current general inspector of the police station.
Later generations knew that the Zhaoyuan Gold Mine of Qilu was famous in China.
The history of gold mining in Zhaoyuan area did not start with Zhu Ming.
The Ma family is one of them. It is said that his ancestors collected gold in Zhaoyuan during the Song Dynasty. After hundreds of years of grievance, they finally made a fortune during the Zhengde period. Then they confessed that the whole Ma family had changed their families. The latter first passed the scholar in less than 20, and then passed the Juren in his early thirties. Although he failed to pass the Jinshi exam and was on the list of gold, this was enough to make the Ma family become a scholar and a gentry member who was qualified to share the interests of Zhaoyuan County.
And the most commendable thing is that since the Ma family changed their homes, they have been very literary. They have been scholars and juren from generation to generation, and even have been in Hanlin. They have been rich and prosperous for more than a hundred years. Even though there are no red-robed robes in the door, the Ma family has become the top brand in Zhaoyuan County over the long period of time.
The Zheng family wanted to take over the land, and the Ma family cooperated very well, because his family's wealth was never land, but mines.
After experiencing Wanli, the emperor who was asking for money, the Ma family's good life has passed for decades. It's just a small matter of wealth.
But it is not a big deal to collect one thousand acres of land.
However, when Zhaoyuan County paid the fine for tax arrears was sent to the Ma family, the Ma family understood what it was truly cruel.
This ticket is not enough to empty the entire Ma family.
If the Ma family pays this ticket, the Ma family's foundation will be completely defeated.
No one wants to watch the huge foundation disappear, but he does not resist at all.
"Absurd, absurd. This world is the world of the Ming Dynasty, the world of the Emperor of the Zhu family, not the world of Zheng Zhilong. Such a destruction of the people and harming the people for thousands of years will not compromise even if our Ma family is crushed to pieces."
"Donalds, since Emperor Guangzong surrendered, the court has never made any mining taxes. This is a matter of great virtue. How can you see the great evil with your own eyes?"
"Today I and all the masters are here. Compared with the world, I am just a thousand stones per grain. Even so, I don't know how many people are willing to be with the same heart? This is the sadness of the Ma family. But I don't realize that I am guilty."
"The enemy is strong and I am weak. If you want to survive under the knife, you can only survive."
"I dare not persuade the Dukes to work together with our Ma family to fight against the Zheng bandits, and to wait for the court's kindness."
"But I am worried that a certain family will be killed, how can the family of the masters escape? Denglai is destroyed by Zheng's place, how can the world be spared? Zheng Zhilong plunders the people's wealth and gains will be abundant, and he is very proud, and he will not be able to spread the world. For example, Zheng's envoy told Your Majesty that the master mistakenly thought that we were rich and poor in the country. If the court was in trouble in the future, we would not dare to protect ourselves!"
However, Ma Xingming had already planned to "get into the mountains and endure until dawn, and they will be safe and sound." As for whether their family can endure until dawn, let's leave it to God.
Anyway, it is impossible for them to surrender.
Furthermore, the Ma family already believed that the Ming Dynasty was about to recover. Even if the emperor wanted to win the hearts of Qi and Lushi, he would definitely not tolerate Zheng Zhilong's misconduct and ignore it.
The nobles in the court will not turn a blind eye.
So, they left their family and left their business and moved to the mountains.
Otherwise, how could Yuan Gang come to the county in person as the general inspector? This is a thunderous move to kill the chicken to warn the monkey and shock the world in one fell swoop!
Yuan Gang slowly put down the telescope in his hand. The small manor on the opposite hill was built quite sturdy. It was actually made of large blue bricks and stone bricks around it, which was almost equivalent to a castle.
He is condescending here - is one peak higher than the other? You can look down at the castle opposite and see the shadows inside, with at least a hundred people. This is the number of people that have been exposed at the moment.
