Juren Yu did not talk big with Bai Guangde and his son. In fact, the landlords and gentry in the four counties of Jiaodong were plotting to join forces and try to counterattack the land reform order. A battle between officials and the people was about to come.

On July 15th, Guo Yu, a first-class police officer from the Ninghai Prefecture Public Security Police Station, accompanied his parents to the Chenghuang Temple in the northwest of Ninghai Prefecture City to burn incense. Today is the Zhongyuan Festival, and it is also the Buddhist Ullamban Festival. According to the customs of this year, people have to come to the Chenghuang Temple to burn incense and pay homage to their ancestors when they go home. When they have to put river lanterns at night, they have to pour a bowl of slurry outside their homes to support those unowned ghosts.

Unlike the ghostly spirits that always beat the Zhongyuan rhythm in later films and TV dramas, the northern Qing Dynasty, in addition to worshiping ancestors and gods, it was also a festival. Because Jiaodong is the birthplace of Chinese mythology, there are many temples and Taoist temples. In addition to going to the Chenghuang Temple to burn incense, the people also have social operas, yangko and lion dances around them, especially outside the temple Taoist temple gate, which is a large gathering, which is extremely prosperous and lively.

When Guo Yu got out of the mule cart and followed his parents to the entrance of the City God Temple, he found a large group of people around the gable on the left side of the gate, pointing at the object similar to a notice posted on the wall. Because of his professional relationship, Guo Yu instinctively felt something had happened.

"Dad, mom, there seems to be something happening there, I'll go and take a look."

"Oh, be careful."

Seeing his parents helping to walk into the City God Temple, Guo Yu came to the outside of the crowd. He stood on tiptoe and looked at him, and saw a guy in a long gown chanting something loudly. Because the voices around him were too noisy, he listened intently for a while, and he didn't hear it clearly until the other party chanted it for the second time, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

".........The land of Dengzhou has been crowded with thalaspora, so our poor people are embarrassed by food and clothing, and have to do so. However, since our dynasty entered the pass, the emperor has repeatedly paid mercy and exempted money and grain, and cut off the grain from the sea to provide relief to the people who were short of food. The gentry in the four towns have been grateful and happy. The gentry in the four towns have been harmonious with neighbors, and have been educated, and the people are simple and have their own destiny. Now there is a king of Zhao in Beihai who set up a farming association and stopped the gentry to accept words. He divided the land and wanted to buy people's hearts, and stopped borrowing and cut off the common people..."

"shut up!"

With Guo Yu shouting loudly, the man Nian Jietie was startled and stopped immediately, so everyone around him turned to Guo Yu.

"Young Master, why are you talking nonsense? They are doing well."

"That's right, I'm not finished listening."

"Continue to recite!"

Facing such a scene, it would be fake that Guo Yu was not feeling harsh; although his current identity is a police officer at the Ninghai Prefecture Public Security Police Station, and it was just the time when he was 20 minutes old, if there was a bad guy in the crowd, he would inevitably suffer a big loss.

Thinking of this, Guo Yu reached out and pulled out the standard revolver issued by the public security police from the gun holster at his waist. People around him were shocked when they saw this, and retreated immediately, giving up the three-foot-meter-a-radius open space. Immediately afterwards, Guo Yu handed the gun to his left hand, took out something from his arms with his right hand, stretched his arms out straight, and shouted: "The Public Security Police Station will dodge the case!"

It is human nature to watch the fun without being too serious, regardless of the past and present, both in China and abroad. When he heard the four words "Public Security Police Station", the onlookers were suddenly in an uproar. Although they took a step back or two, the people standing opposite him still kept looking at the things that Guo Yu was holding in his right hand.

It was a shield-shaped metal plate about half a palm-sized, shining brightly under the sunlight, and a five-pointed star with wheat ears and gears was printed on it. What was extremely eye-catching was that the five-pointed star was painted red, and there was a golden "王" character above the gears.

OK, it turns out that the young man in front of him is really a security police officer of the Military Control Commission! The guy who was reading the post before saw that the situation was not good, and his body disappeared into the crowd with a cat.

"Stop!" Although Guo Yu scolded loudly, there were too many people watching the fun around him. When he walked to the gable, the guy had long disappeared.

Guo Yu then carefully removed the post from the wall and put it away. He said to his parents who were kowtowing and burning incense, and hurried back to the Public Security Police Station in Mouping City to report. When he saw the director sent from Beihai Town, he reported in detail about the incident, and finally added: "Director, this matter must be related to those landlords and the guys who lend money to usury!"

The director of Ninghai Prefecture Police Station was sent by Beihai Town. The man's surname is Qiming Bingwei. He used to be a sheriff of the Furdan City Police Station. He nodded after hearing Guo Yu's words and said in a kind tone: "Go and call Sheriff Cao. When I come back from the Military Control Commission, let's hold a meeting to analyze it first."

Police Chief Cao is Cao Guifu. Guo Yu and he solved the case of "Old Melon Thieves". Although Qi Bingwei has rich experience in handling cases, he has only been to Jiaodong for a while. In addition, he is a naturalized citizen and is not familiar with the customs and humanities in Jiaodong.

What Guo Yu didn't know was that including the one he found, Ninghaizhou had found at least ten anonymous posts in and outside the city this morning, with roughly the same content; some were posted outside temples and Taoist temples outside the city, and some were posted in streets, bell towers and drum towers in the city.

"Xiao Tie" originally refers to official documents, but it was found in the Northern Song Dynasty, and has been used until the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The "Records of Seens and Experiences" in the Ming Dynasty said that any secret memorials and those who receive the orders and post answers are called Xi Tie.

Starting from the middle and late Ming Dynasty, posts were gradually used to the people. Among them, posts that were privately distributed without signing, or under the name of others were called anonymous posts.

This thing can be regarded as China's earliest "self-media", but due to the different political environment and social atmospheres of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the role of anonymous posts in political and social life is also different; either frame the enemy, hold hate and report it; or expose the law, frame blackmail; or gather people to resist officials.

As of the late Qianlong period, there were two anonymous post-revealing cases that had the greatest influence in the Qing Dynasty: one was the "fake Sun Jiagan memorial" that was widely copied across the country in the 16th year of the Qianlong Dynasty. The initiator was never found, and the Qing court had to close the case in a hasty way; the other was that in the 38th year of the Qianlong period, someone falsely accused him of making enemies and posted anonymous posts on the door posts of the military service room outside Donghua Gate, the red fence outside the Xihua Gate and the north wall outside the Shenxing Gate, which caused a sensation in Beijing.

Beihai Town has been managing the four counties of Jiaodong for two years, and this is the first time that anonymous post has appeared. When Qi Bingwei brought several posts to Li Bi, the director of the Military Control Commission, to report, the latter couldn't help but slapped the table and was furious.

Li Bi worked as an official in the Qing Dynasty and knew what anonymous posts were all about. The key is that it appeared too coincidental. It didn’t come early or late, and he had to wait until the Zhongyuan Festival, where the most densely flowed, would inevitably have psychological impact on the lower class people.

You should know that at this time, the Northern Navy in Jiaodong was attacking the entire line, intending to completely liberate the entire Dengzhou Prefecture, and even planned to push the troops to the front line of Yehe and Xiaogu River. If the rear was unstable, not to mention that it would affect the combat of the front troops, he, the director of the Military Control Commission, might be blamed by the superiors.

However, when Li Bi reported the situation to Kong Shaoan, who had just arrived in Dengzhou Prefecture, the other party told him in a telegram that he didn't have to make a big fuss and investigate secretly. He first showed the enemy as weak, and waited for the other party to show all the cards before taking action.

In Kong Shaoan's opinion, the thing like "revealing" is not painful to Beihai Town. As long as the farmers' associations in various places are organized and the leaders of the work teams are invincible, the gentry and landlords in the countryside cannot fight. Now the opponent's intention is to create momentum, and the next step will be "the real guy".

He was curious about what cards these people would play. In his understanding, what landlords could do was just food wars or merchants' strikes. Now everyone in Jiaodong knows that Beihai Town has some food, and playing flowers on it is purely a way to die. Moreover, this year, only Shouguang and Weixian in Shandong suffered floods, which had little impact on the entire grain market. As for the strikes, Kong Shaoan was even more afraid. Beihai merchants spread all over the four counties were not decorations!

So what would it be? Kong Shaoan thought hard for a long time but had no result. In the end, he simply stopped thinking about it. He loved anything. Anyway, the sky couldn't fall. Let's concentrate on accepting it first and work on land reform.

It was soon late in the seventh month of the lunar calendar, and Zhao Xin, who was in Bacheng, planned to return north by boat.

The new imperial examination in Beihai Town is about to begin on the tenth day of August. Wang Zhong and Yu Deli both sent a telegram, asking him to go back no matter what. Cangshan lay Buddhist Yuan Mei and Zhao Yi arrived with more than a dozen students taking the exam, and they were waiting to see him. Besides, after he left, Wang Yuanfang would come back soon.

The big framework for the future development of West Java has been formulated. No matter who comes, you can just follow the proposed regulations. In agriculture, there is nothing more than rice, pepper, oil palm and rubber; in mining, it is mainly limestone, volcanic ash, sulfur ore, and lead-zinc ore in Wandong region; in addition, the oil in Sumatra is also waiting for Beihai Town to develop.

However, just as he was about to set off, several uninvited guests from Guangnan still delayed his itinerary.

It turned out that in mid-September last year, Ruan Guangping, the king of the Xishan Dynasty, who had just arrived forty years, suddenly suffered a stroke and burped within two days. The successor Ruan Guangzhang was only ten years old, and the government was controlled by his uncle Pei Dexuan. It was the time when the king's country was suspicious. Ruan Phoe Ying was overjoyed when she learned the news and thought it was a god-given opportunity to send troops north. So when the monsoon in March this year, he personally led his troops to fight, launching a large number of troops from land and land, surrounding the Guiren Mansion where Ruan Guangping's eldest brother Ruan Yue was stationed.

Master Ruan, who felt that his arms were thick, did not ask the Beihai Army for help this time. The so-called "soft-eating people's mouths are weak and short-handed". In order to be confident, he was going to get the ancient town of Hoi'an with Beihai Town, he was going to handle the war by himself.

It is said that the Northern Navy has occupied Hoi'an for almost three years. Although it is temporarily borrowed, it still attaches great importance to it because of its unique geographical advantages and the majority of Chinese people. Zhao Xin decided from the very beginning to build it into a free port with exemption from tariffs.

As an important stop on the Western Needle Road, Hoi An is located just near the International Trade Road from Northeast Asia to Southeast Asia, the Pacific Ocean to Indian Ocean, and is an important maritime transportation hub. It is connected to many ports in East Asia and Southeast Asia. It can reach Guangzhou, Ryukyu, Japan, Anping Port, south to Java, southwest to Siam, and east to Luzon and other places.

The superior geographical location, convenient maritime transportation conditions, active maritime trade policies, coupled with the powerful force deterrence of the Northern Navy, quickly attracted Chinese merchants from all over the country. Today, the Tang Dynasty Street in Hoi'an has once again restored its prosperity as it was more than a hundred years ago and has become a transit station for sea trade in Southeast Asia. The passenger and cargo wharfs are full of maritime steepers, and the cargo warehouses are filled with goods arriving at the port and preparing to ship. The Tang Dynasty Street is full of pedestrians, and the clothes they wear are not red and purple, and fish, shrimp, vegetables and fruits are rushing around sooner or later.

If it was said that in order to promote trade tax exemption at the beginning, both the monarchs and ministers in Guangnan could understand it, but later the market flourished, why did they still not collect taxes? I was so anxious to make a lot of money that I didn’t earn.

Guangnan had tried to send tax collectors before, but was bombarded by Zhong Huai, the acting county magistrate who managed Hoi An at that time. Although Ruan Phoe-ying did not even dare to let go of this, this matter still laid a thorn in their hearts, making them want to take Guangnan Province as soon as possible and take Hoi An back.

However, what Ruan Phoe did not expect was that although Ruan Guangping was dead, all the veterans and important officials who could fight in the Xishan Dynasty were still alive, especially the Grand Tutor Pei Dexuan who controlled the government was not a big deal.

Why do you say that? I can’t afford to offend the Northern Hai Army, I can’t afford to offend you!

After receiving a letter of help from Guiren Mansion and confirming that there was only Guangnan army but no support from the Northern Navy, he immediately sent four generals, Fan Gongxing, Ruan Wenxun, Li Zhong, and Wu Wenchu, leading 17,000 infantrymen and 80 elephants to support from land. He also sent the naval general Deng Wenzhen to lead the navy on more than 30 warships to aid Guiren.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! The Guangnan Army is really bad. As soon as the fight is fought, he was beaten and abandoned. Ruan Phoe Ying finally understood that even without Ruan Guangping, Xishan could not beat him; so he retreated back to Pingshun Mansion with his tail in shame and never dared to provoke him again.

On the other hand, although the Xishan Army won a great victory, it did not seize much spoils; tens of thousands of people went to war, so they could not go for nothing. Pei Dexuan said that Ruan Guangping was dead anyway, so he no longer had to worry about brotherhood. So he instructed Fan Gongxing and others to lead the army into Guiren, seize all the treasury, and disarmed Guiren's guards.

Ruan Yue, who had been drunk and dreaming, was so angry that he vomited blood three times. The culprit who planned the "Jiading Massacre" came to the end of his life. As soon as he died, Pei Dexuan confiscated Guiren Mansion in the name of Ruan Guangzhang. The Guiren court, which had existed independently for six years, was immediately destroyed. At this time, only two forces remained in Annan.

Nguyen Phuc Ying was defeated, but he knew that it would not take long. With the arrival of the Northeast Monsoon, the Xishan Army would definitely go south again; after all, both sides have been playing back and forth like this for several years, just like Pupaijiu.

The problem is that Nguyen Phuc Ying was unwilling to accept it, especially when he learned that the "King of Beihai" had arrived in Bacheng and defeated the Dutch, he sent a delegation led by the prince Nguyen Phuc Jing to go south with his own congratulations. He paid homage to Zhao Xin from the service of foreign ministers and asked Beihai Town to send troops to help him in the northern expedition.

"The young minister of Annan State, Ruan Phoe Ying, bowed in fear and fear, and greeted His Highness, Long live the King of Zhao in Beihai Town, Long live the sun and the moon, and the world admired the virtue of the shining; the universe is unified, the grace of all living beings, the culture and education are built up, Bi Zhang is powerful and vigorous, and the demonic atmosphere is suddenly awake, the subjects are united, the sea is full of joy, but my highness..."

In the office of Zhao Xin of the Military Control Commission, Zheng Huaide, who was the attendant of the Eastern Palace of the Guangnan Prince's Mansion, held up a congratulatory statement, and was filled with excitement.
