Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 955, no one wants to live a hard life

In a deep mountain and old forest in the southwestern Yunguichuan area, Sha Luoben stopped panting, then looked back at the remaining [-] people around him, and then at the Ming army approaching from the foot of the mountain. People's intestines are green with regret.

He was originally a big chieftain, who used to be the emperor of this world.

The southwest is located in a remote area, the transportation is extremely inconvenient, and it is far away from the capital, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away. In addition, the Tusi system has been implemented in these places since the Yuan Dynasty, and the imperial court appointed these native officials to govern the policies of these places.

After a long time, these hereditary chieftains slowly formed, and became the local emperors of this land. On the surface, they surrendered to the court, but they were capricious. squeeze and exploitation.

However, such good days did not last forever. From the twelfth year of Hongzhi, the imperial court adopted the method of reforming the land and returning the locals to govern the southwest. Disintegrate the power of these chieftains.

Sha Luoben once resisted the rule of the imperial court, but his strength was very different. After being easily suppressed by the imperial army, he surrendered very wisely.

It's just that after the surrender, he lost his status as chieftain and could no longer be the emperor of the earth. Naturally, these days are far worse than before. Not only are the natives below no longer subject to his restraint, they no longer obey his words. The officials who came here also beat him from time to time.

This made him very aggrieved, and he had been secretly contacting chieftains from all over the country, preparing to resist the rule of the imperial court.

This time, the imperial court introduced a citizen hierarchy system. After the news spread to the southwest, it aroused extreme dissatisfaction among the chieftains in the southwest. At the same time, the natives in the southwest also felt that this system was not good for them.

So Sha Luoben and some chieftains took the opportunity to gather their troops and rebelled against the Ming court again.

At the beginning, Sha Luoben felt that such a policy introduced by the imperial court would definitely be unpopular, and there would inevitably be a large number of natives following him. At that time, as long as he occupied the danger of the mountains and rivers, the imperial court would have nothing to do with him even with an army of millions. .

As long as time goes by, the imperial court will eventually have to come to Zhao'an itself as before, and he can take advantage of the opportunity, and at the same time restore his status as a chieftain, and continue to live the life of an emperor here.

But who knows, it's only been a few days since the army was raised. Not only are there not many natives willing to follow him, but there are even a large number of natives who actively assist court officials and the army to suppress him.

And the army of the imperial court was also brave beyond imagination. The natives should be good at drilling mountains and forests, but the imperial court has a special mountain combat force in the southwest, which is better at mountain warfare than them, chasing them all over the mountain Running, like a bereaved dog, extremely embarrassed.

"Sha Luoben, you can't run~"

"Listen everyone, immediately put down your weapons and surrender, the court will let the past go, if you resist, you will surely die!"

At the foot of the mountain, someone was holding a tin horn and yelling at the mountain. At the same time, specially trained hounds had tracked it up. The whole mountain seemed to be surrounded, and even some natives could be seen clearing and leading the way ahead. .

"Awang, you are a running dog who eats inside and outside, you betrayed us natives, you will die!"

Hearing the voice at the foot of the mountain, Sha Luoben couldn't help roaring at the foot of the mountain.

I lost so thoroughly and so quickly, this Ngawang deserved the most credit. He was originally my right-hand man, and I had a lot of trust in him, but I never thought that he would betray me and seek refuge with the Ming court.

"Sha Luoben, it's you who don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth. You are a frog at the bottom of a well, and you are arrogant. You still want to be your land emperor. You don't see who is willing to suffer with you now."

"When you were the chieftain, what kind of life did we natives live? We couldn't even eat enough. Now, everyone has enough food and clothing, no worries about food and drink, and they can emigrate to Nanyang. Let's live a good life. Are you going to destroy it with you?"

At the foot of the mountain, Zhao Wang shouted with a tin horn.

His words are the true aspirations of the natives in the southwest region. In the past, under the chieftain system, the lives of the natives were actually very hard, because they had to be squeezed and exploited by the imperial court and the chieftain. toast.

In order to maintain their extravagant enjoyment, these chieftains often levied heavy taxes, and at the same time adopted severe punishments in order to consolidate their rule.

It’s different now. The imperial court appointed officials to manage the place. In order to stabilize the southwest, the imperial court also gave a lot of preferential policies. At the same time, the imperial court officials also vigorously promoted the high-yield Huangjinzhou crops, such as sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes. It also allowed these natives in the southwest to have a full meal at once.

Moreover, the imperial court also carried out large-scale immigration, relocating the natives from remote areas and areas with extremely inconvenient transportation, and relocated them to Nanyang.

Under these series of measures, the lives of the natives in the Southwest suddenly improved and they lived a prosperous life.

Therefore, this time, when the imperial court introduced the citizen hierarchy system, even though there were dissatisfaction among the natives, it was also to encourage them to study the official language of the Ming Dynasty, and asked them to change their Chinese surnames and adopt Chinese names. There was no great conflict of interest.

So when Sha Luoben waited for some chieftains to rebel again, not many people responded at all. At first, some people responded and gathered some soldiers, but soon a large number of people quietly left, and only they, the chieftains from the headquarters, were left. some people.

However, at this moment, even the remaining people are panicked. The imperial army is too strong, not to mention there are a large number of natives assisting the imperial army.

Not only did they not have the ability to fight the imperial army, but they also couldn't win the hearts of the natives.

Hearing Zhao Wang's words, many people immediately threw away the weapons in their hands. Thinking about the past and the present, isn't it hard to live a life full of food and drink?
Do you have to be the same as before, hungry, hungry, and subject to the cruel rule of these chieftains to be happy?
Although the officials appointed by the imperial court are Han Chinese, but because they are exiles, they are more fair in doing things after they come here. They have always been impartial and selfless, and they will not intentionally bully them.

"Haha, get out, get out, get out~"

Seeing this scene, Sha Luoben couldn't help laughing wryly, then looked at the people around him, and roared angrily.

Hearing Sha Luoben's words, the people around him immediately felt relieved, and one by one quickly dropped their weapons and walked down the mountain. In a blink of an eye, there were dozens of people left among the two hundred people, and each of these dozens of people had hands Stained with blood, even if he surrendered, he could not escape death.

"Why is that?"

"Why is that?"

Sha Luoben looked at the undulating mountains and rivers in front of him. This is the place where his ancestors lived for generations, and it was also the place where his ancestors ruled. Their family has always been the chieftain here, the local emperor here.

But in just a few years, everything has changed.

The natives are no longer afraid of their chieftains, and they go to the government for any conflicts and conflicts between them, and let those Han officials decide, not themselves.

I also have no way to tax these natives like before. Although there are still natives who will come to honor some things, how can those things support his extravagant enjoyment.

This is even more the case now, it is obvious that the banner I played is for the Turen.

The Ming court was obviously favoring the Han people, and did not treat the natives equally. Why should the Han people be the first-class citizens, while the natives themselves are the third-class and fourth-class citizens.

Why should we learn their Chinese characters and speak Ming Dynasty official dialect instead of their Han people speaking our dialect and learning our characters.

Don't these natives understand that I'm doing it for their own good, so that their descendants won't be the third-class people of Ming Dynasty, so are they willing to be the third-class people of Daming?
However, before he could figure it out, a large number of people quickly appeared around him, not only the imperial army, but also the armor on their bodies, muskets, bows and arrows in their hands, and a large number of natives, each with bows, arrows and swords. Luo Ben was surrounded by groups.

"Sha Luoben, you can't escape with your wings!"

Zhao Wang walked out from the crowd, looked at Sha Luoben and said coldly.

"Zhao Wang, you have forgotten your ancestors, eaten inside and out, and sold things for glory, you will die a bad death."

Seeing Zhao Wang, Sha Luoben roared angrily, if not for Zhao Wang, he would not have been defeated so thoroughly and quickly.

"Sha Luoben, don't you understand?"

"The reason why everyone is unwilling to follow you is because following you will not lead a good life. The imperial court treats us natives well, gives us good seeds, and relocates us to a good place so that we can live a good life."

Zhao Wang looked at Sha Luoben and said loudly.

"Haha, good day, didn't you see that the Ming court regards you as third-class citizens?"

"Third-class citizens, you are not even second-class, why are those Han Chinese first-class and we are third-class."

Sha Luoben laughed and said: "This great emperor is hypocritical. After we chieftains were killed, you were like a mess, and no one will stand up for you in the future."

"What's wrong with the third-class citizens? As long as we learn why, we will soon become second-class and first-class citizens. Follow you and be your slaves forever."

Zhao Wang said with a smile.

"Humph~"

"Slandering the emperor is a crime that should be punished!"

"All obey orders, kill!"

Here, when the officer in command of the Ming army heard this, he immediately roared and gave orders.

These officers and generals all graduated from the Daming Royal Military Academy, and they are the most loyal to the emperor, and they must not hear words that slander the emperor.

As soon as the order was issued, hundreds of muskets fired at the same time, instantly hitting Sha Luoben and others into a hornet's nest.
