The area is too large and is not conducive to the transmission and implementation of government orders. Just like Huguang is divided into Hunan and Hubei provinces, Chen Wen is also planning a subdivision in southern Zhili. However, there is no conclusion on whether it is divided into north and south of the Yangtze River, or the subdivisions in later generations of Jiangsu and Anhui provinces. Now, due to the implementation of the work of clearing the fields of Zhangzhang, a governor's jurisdiction is temporarily set up by the four prefectures of Susongchang Town.

A few years after his tenure in Jiangxi, Rong Qian was just appointed as the governor of Su Song two months ago, responsible for the civil affairs of these four governments. Since he took office, the first heavyweight decree he received was to increase efforts and completely complete the work of clearing the land.

Rong Qian mobilized the yamen of the governor. The work team sent by the King of Qi, the prefectures and county governments of Changzhou Prefecture, local garrison offices and garrison officials attended the meeting. The prefectures and county officials were all subordinates of the governor. The garrison offices and garrison troops also received the order of cooperation. Chen Wen had already put aside his words and wanted to complete the land clearance work of the four prefectures of Susongchang Town before the 12th year of Yongli. He must not drag the mess to the spring plowing of the 13th year of Yongli.

The government was doing the final mobilization work, and the houses of the Gu family in Wuxi were already gathered in their ancestral houses. The land of the Zhangjiazuo was cleared, and the Gu family had resisted for three years since the tenth year of Yongli. The gentry in Jiangnan connected, and Hangzhou, Jiahu, Zhejiang, also joined them.

However, the strength of the gentry in each prefecture is not enough. In addition, the two attacks against the anti-Qing and supporting the gentry of the Qing Dynasty by Jiergalang and Chen Wen have lasted for three years. With the efforts of yamen at all levels, most prefectures and counties have completed the work of Qingzhou, and the rest is Susongchang Town.

The Gu family's ancestors were the founder of the Donglin Party and had a great prestige among the Shilin. Previously, the Gu family was secretly connected because Qian Qianyi maintained a cooperative attitude with Chen Wen. However, at this moment, under the dual effects of shock and alcohol at the Yunmen Club, Gu Zhenguan also pushed the Gu family to the open face of confrontation.

"The son is reckless, but our Gu family is the leader of the Shilin. This time, the Qi Palace clearly wants to completely subdue the gentry of Jiangnan. If we don't do anything, the gentry of Jiangnan will be completely intimidated by the power of the warriors, and the efforts of Duke Jingyang and Duke Jingfan will be completely wasted."

When the scholars were full of food and thought about the **. In the Ming Dynasty, the economic conditions of the scholars became more and more abundant. In addition to indulging in search of flowers and willows, delicious food, and getting involved in government affairs, local affairs were also indispensable. From evaluation, influence, and then to interference, by the end of the Ming Dynasty, scholars in Jiangnan could already join forces to expel unsatisfactory local officials, and the Donglin Party was the representative of it.

"It's reasonable, it's reasonable. According to my calculations, in fact, the war has begun when the King of Qi issued a requisition of civil wasteland in Jinhua to teach soldiers. The King of Qi abolished the garrison in eastern Zhejiang and sent a team to the countryside to clear the ranks of the royal palace in Jiangxi and Huguang. He has always cut off the mess. When he arrived in Jiangnan, he thought he knew the power of the gentry in Jiangnan, so he was not in a hurry. He used a soft knife to sharpen his troops for three years. Now there are only the four palaces in Susongchang Town. It's also the final battle planned by the King of Qi."

After several generations of the Gu family came down, although there was never a person like Gu Xiancheng again, the elders in the clan and the eldest children of each house were not fools, and they always understood the truth.

"What my uncle said is so, how should we deal with it?"

"If you want to fundamentally solve this matter, Cao Yunlin and Huang Lizhou's methods are correct. However, they only have ideas but do not have the ability to do things. Otherwise, how could this happen today?"

Both Cao Conglong and Huang Zongxi wanted to gain control and influence of the scholar class over military personnel by entering into military power. The former was to bribe Chen Wen's generals and instigate the civil servant group to cooperate, while the latter was to start a new foundation and use the military power of the army to exchange or influence Chen Wen's governance.

The two of them went to the same end, for the benefit of the Confucian scholar class. However, the rebellion was quickly and effectively suppressed, and the revived army became the target of the Qing army. Instead, it had long since gained the reputation of Chen Wen, the savior of the scholars in East Zhejiang. As a result, this problem has been delayed to this day, and even the harm to the interests of the Confucian scholar class has become increasingly important.

"Cao Yunlin and Huang Lizhou are incompetent. Although we cannot obtain military power, the power of the people is not weak. Didn't the Qi Palace always claim to be saving the country and the people? Then encourage those untouchables to resist the progress of clearing the fields and mu. He and Chen Wen wanted to touch the family business we had accumulated over the years, so let him know that Wei Yi had never done anything at all. He was worthy of a warrior who had only been rising for several years?"

After raising his arms, the Gu family and others all followed suit. However, compared to these impulsive young people, the old uncle, as an elder, had an obvious better experience in this.

"Stop the market and cry in the temple. This is a clear sword and a spear. You cannot show your trump card until you have to. We don't know what tricks the King of Qi have to wait."

"Then I'll listen to my uncle. I'll organize people to boycott first, follow the old ways, and deal with the moves whenever I see them."

After deciding the strategy, the Gu family's houses were all working hard to contact other gentry, gathering slaves and tenants, and naturally they were inevitably inseparable from contacting familiar officials. They always had to know themselves and their enemies to act.

However, before they could finish the organization, an astonishing news came from the county town. The main officials who were familiar with them on weekdays and even had money exchanges were all taken down by the new governor from the county magistrate. Now they have been replaced by the work team of the Qi Palace. They are now waiting to go to the countryside to attack them.

"What is this Rong Gongzheng doing? Who is the person?"

"This nephew has inquired about it and said he came from Huguang. He used to be a student and entered the civil service training class for a long time. He has been working in Jiangxi before. It is said that both the King of Qi and the Governor Wang had intended to release him as the Governor."

"That's bad. It's basically impossible for a student from Huguang to rely on his classmates' relationships in the same year. And he has the opportunity to be promoted to a rank of officials, and his future will be even more promising. This is clearly the one who comes to make us political achievements, and he will not be able to get into it."

Most of the officials in the county yamen were bribed by the gentry. Before the first cover was handed over, they had already pulled out the gentry's feet in the yamen. This is very bad news. Not to mention that buying requires time, energy and money. If you buy it, you have to spend your time and time. Just say that at this moment, without these guys, their actions in the local area will not take the lead as before.

The main officials of the county government were quickly taken down. On the third day, a working team with a basic understanding of the local situation left Wuxi County under the protection of the local garrison and the troops sent by the Qi Prince's Mansion to assist in the operation. Their first target was neither someone else, but the Gu family.

Capturing the thief and the king is the most obvious. As long as the goal can be achieved with the Gu family, the resistance of other gentry will also decrease. The Gu family has obviously been targeted by the government since Gu Zhenguan took the lead, but what they didn't know is that Rong Qian was instructed by Chen Wen. This time, it is clear that he would attack the family of the founder of the Donglin Party to make a perfect killing of the chicken to warn the monkey.

The work team came in a mighty manner and headed straight for the land closest to the county town of Gu family. The Gu family's slaves were waiting outside the county town, and when they found the work team, they hurried back. When the work team arrived, the Gu family had already gathered slaves and tenants, and attracted a large number of villagers, and directly blocked the official road leading to this place.

"Brother, there are a lot of people coming to the government this time, and they are still carrying the army. I'm afraid it's difficult to deal with."

"Brother Shi, please rest assured. There is a successful conclusion in the clan, so I'll wait for them to insult him."

The person who spoke to Gu Shu was the nephew of Gao Panlong, another founder of the Donglin Party. His father Gao Shitai is an elder of the Gao family. He has been trying hard to redeem the old Gao Panlong house that the Gao family resold. This time, not only the Gu family invited him, but the Chen family also made an appointment with the Gu family. As long as he could resist the Qingzhang land of the government, he would rather sell the homestead to Gao Shitai. After the Gao family got the news, he understood the importance and naturally came to help.

The work team, together with the garrison and the guards, had a total of more than 200 people, in order to deal with the gentry's boycott. But at this moment, for this small acre, the Gu family found all the slaves and tenants everywhere, and the Gao family and two other gentry familiar with each other brought people. From any location, the large area in Wuyang was more than 1,000 people.

The official road was blocked, and unnecessary military-civilian conflict broke out. The army no longer continued to surround the guards, but followed the work team and allowed the civil servants wearing official robes to come forward to persuade them.

Several civil servants led the yamen runners forward, looked at the people opposite, and then looked at their own formations. Gu Shu felt that he was more courageous and went to negotiate with the families who came to help, and even responded calmly in the face of the accountability of the civil servants.

"If you go back to Zhu Daotai, the local people are all good, but it is reported that the government embezzled and often closed the warehouse and stored grain, and taxes were charged to deal with the inspection. Special special comes. Gu Shu, a student in the first year of Tianqi, heard about this with several friends, and rushed over indignation. One is to uphold justice for the people, and the other is to prevent unnecessary conflicts between the people and the government."

Gu Shu said, first of all, he used the name of the people to be corruption, and then took them out clearly in front of the government. In the end, he wanted to uphold justice and avoid conflicts. He used both soft and hard work, which was a waste of water.

The official headed by the work team, named Zhu Weining, is the military farm road in the four prefectures of Susongchang Town. He has dealt with military farms, households and gentry on weekdays. He has long expected such a scene.

At this moment, he smiled slightly, and did not explain to Gu Shu and others. He took a tin horn from the entourage behind him and wanted to shout.

"What does Taotai mean? Can you trust me and scholars?"

Zhu Weining picked up the iron trumpet, and Gu Shu and others understood that this person wanted to go beyond the gentry and other gentry to directly talk to the people. Among the people, there were mostly slaves and tenants of the Gu family, but more were ordinary people who were mobilized. If the communication channels between the government and the people could not be isolated, the gentry's right to speak would be greatly discounted.

"Brother Gu is the grandson of Mr. Donglin, and I have heard of it. The Gu family is a big family in Wuxi. Brother Gu just said it was a corruption incident that I heard from the people, but I did not hear about it. It would be a mistake to spread rumors and humiliate the name of your brothers. I personally ask the people clearly."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at the Tuntian Road with different eyes. This guy was obviously not a rookie, and had a lot of experience in dealing with gentry. Seeing this, people from the Gao family spoke with Gu Shu, which made Gu Shu feel relieved.

"Brother, this is not a Tartar official. There is no saying that 'the people sue the officials, if the son kills his father, he will first sit and beat him fifty, and even if he wins, he will be sentenced to two thousand miles'. Let him ask him, then find a tenant and give some money to come out to sue the officials. The people sue the officials, always go back to the city for trial. Don't forget that as long as we can drive the work team back to the city today, even if we win first, it will not be so easy for the government to go to the countryside."

Before the Qing Dynasty, there was never any Qing Dynasty laws as mentioned by the Gao family. In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang even encouraged the people to sue officials to prevent corruption in local officials. When the Qing Dynasty, people had to fight for officials first, and if they win, they would have to be exiled for two thousand miles. In three years, the Qing magistrates 100,000 snowflakes and silver, and the thousands of miles of officials just for wealth began to become popular.

At this moment, the work team left the city and headed straight for the Gu family. If they could bring the work team back to the city, even if they had a big victory, the volume among the people would be louder. Gu Shu naturally understood this truth and quickly whispered a few words to his son. Gu Zhenguan withdrew from the gentry crowd and went to find slaves and tenants, while Gu Shu continued to speak circles with the work team about whether they could trust or not.

A moment later, Gu Zhenguan came back and told his father that he was ready, and the latter quickly reached a compromise with Zhu Weining. The group and the officials of the work team walked towards the crowd that was blocking the road.

"Old, I just heard from Gu Juren that everyone gathered here because they heard that Chang's position was closed and that they intercepted the minor officials who went to the countryside to urge for statutory responsibilities. But I am the military farm road in the four prefectures of Susongchang Town, so there is no need to attack the officials of the county government."

"This time, the official notified the elders present here, and hoped that the elders could return home and say that they would be with their relatives and friends. The government went to the countryside not to urge the ancestral department, but to clear the land and soil in the countryside. Whoever should pay the tax in the future will pay as much as they should pay, and no one can expose the tax they have to pay to the elders."

Zhu Weining talked about the truth. The military field road is the fourth rank, and the immediate boss of the prefect, and he did not really give the seventh rank "Sesame Official" and rolled up his sleeves to go to the countryside to help them wipe their butts. Zhu Weining's words later used the simplest and easiest to understand the gentry to put the gentry against the people - no wonder. There have always been many things that gentry pay taxes, and the people dare not speak out. When someone wants to make decisions for them, they naturally started to whisper immediately, and even the volume became louder.

Seeing that this fourth-rank official was instigating the people here, he was completely different from the civil officials sent by the Qing Dynasty and the Qi Palace in the late Ming Dynasty and the civil servants sent by the Qing Dynasty and the Qi Palace, he was determined to bite them. Gu Shu and others were furious and glared back at the tenant who had been pushed to the front row, signaling them to come and disrupt the situation. But at this moment, a voice sounded but directly shocked them.
