Chapter 156 Spanish red-haired ghost

This month's update volume is a bit bad, with only more than 4,000 words per day (two chapters), which is a bit sorry to my readers and friends. . The fastest update

Tomorrow fills the grave for the dead father-in-law, Qingming Festival is coming, and we Han people attach importance to the deceased ancestors

The government did not lie, and many refugees who came out of the mountains were assigned to land and houses without owners.

It is said that after the chaos, it will be a great rule. Facts have proved that this is right.

Although 80% of the former Qing Dynasty surrendered officials retained by the various prefectures in Fujian, they were very enthusiastic and efficient in implementing the policy.

The mentality of atonement for merits and atonement prompted the surrendered officials to meticulously complete His Highness the explanation of His Highness Qi.

Many "dog officials" who used to be seen by the people have turned into "blue sky", which can be regarded as washing their hair and turning on their faces.

Compared with money, life is more important. What's more, many demoted officials are pointing to making some "political achievements" and soaring in the new dynasty.

After the seventh town in southern Fujian came in from Chaozhou, some places have begun to implement "building villages and towns", and Guangdong, especially the Chaoshan area, is using various means to attract the people of Fujian.

The Chaoshan land was originally a granary. In the early years, Zheng Sen made the capture of Chaoshan a solution in order to solve the problem of food and grass in Jinxia. For this reason, he did not hesitate to attack the Ming army of Hao Shangjiu, which occupied Chaoshan, which eventually led to Hao Shangjiu's surrender to the Qing Dynasty and the later "Chaozhou Massacre". After the Taiping Army's Eastern Expedition, due to historical reasons, the active local regiments and villages in Chaoshan were carried out, either directly or indirectly creating many tragedies. Finally, after defeating the Jidu army, the Chaoshan land basically became a white land.

Among the various prefectures in Guangdong Province, Chaoshan is obviously very suitable for living and reclaiming. Therefore, after Guangdong's restoration, Guangdong Governor Liao Ruixiang always wanted to restore production in Chaoshan area, but the lack of manpower caused Chaoshan to recover the restoration of Chaoshan. The seventh town stationed in Chaozhou and was ordered to attack southern Fujian three times to implement the strategic intention of weakening the Qing army in Fujian. During this process, the seventh town general Hu Qili was instructed by Liao Ruixiang and the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Duke Xiang, and moved many southern Fujian people to Chaozhou to cultivate land, with a total of more than 40,000.

On the surface, the Guangdong government must have used the word "voluntary" to describe the migration of southern Fujian people to Chaozhou, but in fact it was a "plundering" nature. At that time, Zhou Shixiang proposed to cut down the Qing Dynasty in Xiangshan, pointing out that population is the most important strategic resource. Therefore, the first thing to do to the Qing military was to weaken the branches and leaves of the Qing army and then cut down its main trunks. "Relocating" a large number of people occupying the Qing area to the Ming area is one of the specific implementation policies of this strategy.

The seventh town moved the people of southern Fujian to Chaozhou, and at that time it was Zhou Shixiang's default, because the southern Fujian area was the Qing-occupied area. The smaller the population in the Qing war zone, the more dilapidated the production, it would definitely be beneficial to the Taiping Army. As for how many people in this method sacrificed the interests of the people in the Qing-occupied area and how many families harmed, Zhou Shixiang was unwilling to think about it, and he dared not think about it. Because once he thought about this in depth, he would have nightmares and feel guilty, but reality forced him to do so.

This incident was like the construction of fortifications that blocked the Qing army in western Hunan and suppressed the reactionary villages in Chaozhou. In essence, it was under the banner of restoring the Ming Dynasty, but it was done something like the Qing Dynasty that was indignant with people and gods. The combination of spears and shields, the torture of conscience and reality was indeed as hard-hearted as Zhou Shixiang, who was as hard-hearted as Zhou Shixiang, dared not think about it. What he could do was to minimize unnecessary casualties and injuries. But no one could know how much it had been reduced, and no one could count it. Perhaps, these things would be permanently sealed in historical archives.

The Qing Dynasty killed countless Han people, so I wanted to stand up and resist, but because of my resistance, many people who should have survived in this troubled world lost their lives. So is what I did right or wrong?

In the past, Zhou Shixiang had been thinking about this issue. He could use righteousness, the future of the nation, and the history he knew in his previous life to make himself believe that he did nothing wrong. But when he really faced these things and witnessed those tragedies with his own eyes, no kind of righteousness could make him calm. Those people might be able to use the word "sacrifice" to explain it as the war is destined to have casualties, but Zhou Shixiang was never willing to face it.

Now the various prefectures in southern Fujian have been restored, and the means to deal with the Qingzhou area in the past can naturally be used. If we want to concentrate manpower to resume production, the land distribution policy that Fujian is implementing will naturally be extended to Guangdong. Fujian is definitely unwilling to lose its population within the territory. Therefore, for nearly ten years, the governments of Fujian and Guangdong provinces are on the opposite side from top to bottom. One side is desperately trying to attract the people in the other side to join him, while the other side is desperately trying to retain the people. Therefore, a rare scene in Chinese history shows officials from both provinces patrolling the provincial areas day and night with their subordinates. Many times, the men fight for the stay and leave of the people, regardless of their face.

The government is no longer an official government, but has become a real parent.

When the effective population growth has become the main means to assess the promotion of officials, some ridiculous things have happened, but it is undeniable that the "grassy people" who were originally the eyes of officials are the "grassy people"

Jinjiang County is also dividing land and houses.

Because of the inconvenience of the road, when the country woman Li learned the news, it had been more than a month since the official list was announced. She scolded her cowardly man at that time.

"There is such a good thing in the government. Why are you still staying at home stupidly? Why don't you sign up quickly!"

Wu Dayou, a man who has always been "stricken by his wife", looked bitter, hesitated for a while, and said with a tough forehead: "We'd better not join in the fun of this matter."

"Why not go!" Li was anxious: It's a good thing that a pie fell from the sky, but his own man wouldn't go?

"The government said that registration is a household registration for each household. After the registration, the land must be allocated uniformly. If the four brothers of my family are separated, they will not be familiar with the land and are likely to be bullied." Wu Dayou said his psychological words. He was worried that if the brothers and the others separated, they would be called "bullying" them.

Li frowned, poked her husband's forehead with his finger, and scolded him, "You idiot, everyone is going to register. You are all assigned to the place. You are all acquaintances there? Who can bully who? Besides, even if you brothers are together and have no land, others will bully them as much as you want. Last time your third brother was injured by the village head Wang family, do you still remember this? All three of you brothers are in the village, and you fart? Why? It's because you brothers planted the Wang family's land and pointed at his fields to eat! If your Wu family has its own land, can you hold your breath and be cowardly?"

After saying this, Wu Dayou was speechless. After thinking about it, he felt that what the child said was indeed right. With his own land, he had confidence in everything he did. Under Li's strong urging, Wu Dayou set out for the county town that day and walked for three days before asking about the registration office. When he arrived at the place, he saw crowds of people, and those who came to register had already lined up in a long queue. If it weren't for the soldiers holding a big knife and spear next to him, he wouldn't know what would happen here. All the people who registered were anxious, for fear that because there were too many people coming to register, they would not be able to distribute him. Seeing this situation, Wu Dayou also regretted it. If he had known this, he would have come early. If he had been dispensed with himself, he would not know how Li would deal with him after he went back.

Fortunately, no matter how long the registration team was, the officials were there to register, and they didn’t mean to pack up the things and say they would be dispersed.

In the afternoon, it was Wu Dayou's turn. He came to the front of a bookkeeper with a nervous look on his face and said carefully: "Official, I'll sign up."

The Book Office was a scholar in the county town who was temporarily brought to the government to help make the book. At this time, he asked casually while filling in the book, "What's the name?"

Wu Dayou reported his name, and the Literature Office asked Wu Dayou a few more people, then filled out a form for him and asked him to take the form to the other side to listen to the specific matters of the division of land. The government's efficiency was really fast. When Wu Dayou took Li and his two children to the county town again that day, cars and horses had already been prepared outside the county town. Then the county magistrate came out to meet them in person and escorted them to their new residence. This treatment made Wu Dayou and Li, who had never even entered the county government in their lifetime, excited for a long time.

The reason why the magistrate of Jinjiang personally led his troops to escort was because some bandits and scattered soldiers in the territory caused chaos. Although it was not a good time, this matter was personally assigned by His Highness King Qi, and it was related to his future, so he would never dare to be careless. Be careful to sail for a thousand years. If a newly surrendered official like him wants to keep his black hat, he has to do things carefully.

A group of hundreds of people, escorted by dozens of soldiers in red military uniforms by the magistrate, heading to their new residence a hundred miles apart. On the way, the county government set up a temporary resting point, which had already been prepared with hot water and food. During the rest, the magistrate greeted the people, without any official airs. The people who were informed privately said that the county master was not like this before. Just three years ago, the county master ordered the heads of dozens of rioters to be cut down on the city gate to show their public. He heard that two rioters had been cut down on themselves.

When Wu Dayou and Li heard this, they were so scared that they were trembling, and they didn't feel like they were not like. The county master looked so close that they didn't look like they could kill people with a knife. When they were confused, they heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the distance of the official road, and then a large group of cavalry surrounded a general and rushed here.

The magistrate of Jinjiang hurriedly asked the soldiers to arrange the people to avoid the side. After the cavalry came from afar, the magistrate of Jinjiang felt a trembling heart when he saw the flags being fired. He was about to welcome him, but he saw that the brigade of cavalry had already galloped south and did not stop.

The person who was immediately in charge was Zhou Shixiang. When he saw the people on the road, he did not stop, but rushed to Jinxia.

The reason why Zhou Shixiang was anxiously moving south was not that Zheng Jing defeated Zheng Xi by counterattacking the Jedi, but that Zheng Xi's general Liu Guoxuan urgently reported that a merchant ship from Manila to Japan brought a message that the Spanish in Luzon were massacreing the Chinese. At the same time, Zheng Mingjun from Zhoushan also urgently reported that the Qing court in Beijing was signing a contract with the red-haired ghost in the East Fan to make a payment.
