Chapter 388 Rogue

In Luoshan County, Zhu Cilang spared no effort to recruit Hongniang. Under tremendous pressure, he made Chongzhen grant Hongniang the magistrate of Luoshan County.

This incident once caused quite a stir in the court. Those censors who were like wolves and tigers couldn't do anything and were the first to criticize people.

A woman is an official, and it is a big deal to the world. Isn’t this putting the teachings of saints behind your head, or isn’t this a shame to make the world’s scholars lose their faces? Women can be the county magistrate, and let the big men in a county bow to a woman, and they still have their faces.

Chongzhen actually opposed it. After all, in this era, women were regarded as civil servants as beasts. It would be fine if they were military generals. For example, Qin Liangyu, the only female general who was recorded in the official history, took over her husband because her son was young and hereditary Shizhu Xuanwei envoy, which is the local chieftain.

But the incident of Hong Niangzi being the magistrate of Luoshan County still aroused a lot of opposition from the court. Zhu Cixuan did not talk nonsense to the censors, but just wrote a letter.

The letter also has a simple and clear sentence: Hong Niangzi was originally a bandit, but now she has abandoned the secret and turned to the light and surrendered to the court. Who do you think she is not convinced by the title of county magistrate? Come, come here, try to be the county magistrate in Luoshan County.

OK, which censor is dissatisfied? You think Hong Niang is not worthy of being a county magistrate, that's OK. Come on, transfer you to Luoshan County to be the county magistrate.

Luoshan County is a place where people are strong and bandits are rampant. When you go there to be a county magistrate, you can easily be killed by bandits if you have any disagreement.

Therefore, Zhu Cilang wrote a memorial, and Emperor Chongzhen asked Wang Chengen to read it out in public. This immediately blocked the mouths of the ministers, and no one dared to say anything about opposing the Hongniangzi's reign as the county magistrate.

Hongniang took his subordinates into Luoshan County, first resettled the people and then repaired the county government. Zhu Cilang even wrote a letter to exempt Luoshan County from three years of taxes.

This time, Hong Niangzi quickly gained the support of the local people. Moreover, Hong Niangzi was not polite. She killed three landlords and squires when she took office. She cut off their heads and hung them at the gate of the city, confiscated the homes of three wealthy families. She distributed the land and land that had been confiscated to the people.

At the same time, a huge land reform was launched in Luoshan County. According to Sun Chuanting's Shaanxi model, once the land of wealthy families exceeds the limit, they must be handed over to the court unconditionally. Once annexed land is discovered, the matter of fish and meat and people will be killed without any consideration.

Nowadays, everything can be found with a gun. The team led by Hong Niangzi from the mountain followed her. She was the only one in Luoshan County. Even the prefect did not take it seriously. In Luoshan County, she only listened to Sun Chuanting's order.

Because Sun Chuanting respects Hongniang, Hongniang also respects Sun Chuanting. Sun Chuanting disagrees and directly handed over the full power of Luoshan County matters to Hongniang.

The stability of Luoshan County made the bandits around him dare not act rashly. Everyone knows that Hong Niang is powerful, and provoking her is a way to die.

In addition, the bandit Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng was very depressed. He originally had hundreds of thousands of people. But while he was mixed, the bandits around him were constantly being wiped out, so in the end, there were less than 100,000 people left by his side.

Moreover, Henan is becoming increasingly difficult to get along. I don’t know what method Sun Chuanting, a bastard, used, and the Ming army is not sure about its strict defense. The Ming army, whose combat effectiveness is originally low, suddenly became brave.
