It's broken, and was picked up by a femme fatale
Chapter 243: Drastic changes in the three towns of Nanhai, offering sacrifices to the gods in Japan
Many rumors say that Emperor Linggui,
They have become gods, and killing a celestial saint is as easy as crushing an ant.
Your Majesty is truly unprecedented and unrivaled, the strongest man in the world.
Therefore, the governor of Yangcheng hoped to "divert the disaster to the north" to deter the other side.
Lu Yuan laughed and said, "That dog emperor,
I really don't take him seriously. I will definitely take his head!
However, let's put one thing in another.
Before you go, you must make arrangements for these running dogs!"
He looked at the "beasts in human clothing" who were kneeling in a row in front of him and oppressing the people.
"According to the Shenling Law, any official who embezzles 60 taels of silver will be punished by skinning him alive!
May I ask all the elders, do you agree or not?"
There were thousands of onlookers, and they had long hated corrupt officials.
They all raised their arms and shouted: "Agree! Agree!"
Lu Yuan said calmly: "Let's get started! From the prefect down, no one can be left behind!"
So, the bullied people rushed forward, grabbed the officials and cut open their stomachs.
The prefect was terrified and begged for mercy: "Master Li, spare my life! I am willing to pay for my life..."
Lu Yuan asked loudly again: "Fathers, do you agree?"
The people roared, "We disagree! We absolutely disagree!"
At this time, a white-haired old woman came up tremblingly and bit the prefect's throat.
"Hey!"
“Ah! It hurts…it hurts so much!”
When everyone looked, they saw a bloody hole on the prefect's throat, with blood gushing out.
Someone knew about this and said that the old man's son and grandson were killed by the prefect.
The old woman endured until today, and finally she got her revenge.
With the old woman taking the lead, the people were like chicken blood.
Catch these corrupt officials and beat them up, kick them, stab them with knives, and bite them.
Some people were even so angry that they dug out their eyeballs with their fingers.
Amid the screams of ghosts and gods, nearly a hundred officials were quickly suppressed by the people.
At this time, someone said: "There are still many officials hiding, let's go and find them!"
"Okay, okay! Kill all these damn officials!"
Then, like a spark that turns into a prairie fire, the people of Guangzhou searched for officials from house to house.
More officials and their families were beaten to death, and their houses were burned down.
The whole city is in revenge!
Every injustice has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor, and the people have sharp eyes.
A few honest and upright officials
Instead of beating or killing them, the people stood at their doorsteps to protect them.
At this time, the Nanyang Navy learned of the riot in Guangzhou and sent a large number of warships and sailors to suppress it.
Lu Yuan released the Phoenix and burned all the warships.
More than a thousand sailors who were relying on the power of others to bully others were burned to death before they even got close to Guangzhou.
Soon, riots broke out in Foshan and Jiangmen, neighboring Yangcheng Prefecture.
Most of the corrupt officials and their families were killed.
And like in Guangzhou, they "skinned the daylilies" and hung them on the top of the city walls for public display.
After beheading the officials, the people asked "Doctor Li" to be their leader.
Lu Yuan declined the people's kindness.
He asked loudly, "Hasn't it been enough that you have been bullied by the officials?"
But the people still felt uneasy and they all knelt down and begged bitterly.
Lu Yuan once again resorted to the "nomination and voting" system.
"From now on, you Yangcheng people will make the decisions about Yangcheng's affairs!"
So, the people of Yangcheng nominated five people.
The respected "gentry" constitute the directors of the council.
One is in charge of civil affairs, one is in charge of military affairs, one is in charge of business, one is in charge of external relations, and the other is in charge of miscellaneous affairs.
Another 36 council members are elected to supervise the five directors, who cannot remove any members.
If any director commits corruption or does something wrong, any member has the right to initiate impeachment and removal.
Every four years, the people of Guangzhou hold a general meeting to elect new directors and members.
Seeing that the matter had been settled, Lu Yuan took Shen Jiaren and prepared to leave.
The people stopped him again and asked, "When will Dr. Li come back?"
In fact, they were afraid that the government would retaliate after Lu Yuan left.
Lu Yuan activated the earth element and built a ten-meter-high platform.
"If there is any danger in the future, light the beacon and I will come to rescue!"
The people felt relieved.
Lu Yuan pointed at the corpse hanging on the top of the city wall and said to the five directors and 36 members:
"If you and your family don't want to go up, you should know what to do!"
The five directors and 36 members all bowed in greeting.
"We will follow Dr. Li's instructions and live up to your expectations and serve the people wholeheartedly!"
Lu Yuan laughed, took Shen Jiaren and jumped onto the phoenix, flying north.
After Lu Yuan left, Foshan and Jiangmen followed suit, setting up councils and electing directors and members.
The three places reached a consensus and advanced and retreated together to resist the imperial court.
The three places distributed all the property and land that the officials had seized to the people.
Various taxes were abolished, and people were free to migrate and trade.
They also issued a shocking "Martial Order".
Civilians were allowed to bear arms, and armed militias were allowed to be formed in each village and township.
According to incomplete statistics, the total number of militiamen in the three places reached 100,000.
Because of this series of shocking actions,
Yangcheng, Foshan and Jiangmen were declared the three major traitors by the imperial court.
However, after hearing about it, the people called the three places "Three Towns of the South China Sea".
The tremendous changes in the three towns of Nanhai immediately produced a "watermelon effect".
The people in the surrounding counties were ready to make trouble, but the imperial court issued strict orders to suppress them.
However, several counties and towns bordering the three towns took the initiative to submit to the three towns, which caused panic in the surrounding county governments.
As a result, a joint encirclement and suppression campaign ensued.
The three town councils held a joint meeting and decided to mobilize the militia to carry out a "counter-encirclement and suppression" campaign.
In less than a day, the coalition forces of the three towns had assembled a force of 30,000.
In less than ten days, they successively defeated the 100,000-strong army in Dongguan, Zengcheng, Baiyun, Huadu and Zhongshan.
The coalition forces of the three towns were so powerful that no one could stop them.
After this battle, the actual area controlled by the three towns doubled.
This triggered a new round of population growth.
More people from surrounding counties took advantage of the chaos to flee their homes with their families and moved into the three towns.
Needless to say, just the distribution of land, no taxes have to be paid,
This is enough to make the common people abandon their homes and businesses and come for refuge.
Of course, in order to defeat the imperial court's encirclement and suppression,
Nearly a thousand brave warriors of the three-town coalition were killed and more than three thousand were wounded.
The three-town council decided to erect a "Warrior's Monument" opposite the beacon tower.
However, unexpectedly,
Inspired by the heroes, more people spontaneously joined the militia, and the number exceeded 20.
After the decision was made by the three-town council, the three towns were united.
The Joint Assembly has a total of 15 directors and 108 members.
The Joint Conference issued a solemn declaration:
"Whoever violates the three towns will be punished no matter how far away they are!"
After this battle, the surrounding county governments had lost half their lives and were like frightened birds.
For less than a year or two, the government troops did not dare to approach the border.
In fact, even if they wanted to fight, there were 20 armed militia warriors in the three towns.
The guys started fighting.
They rushed forward recklessly one after another, and the government troops shuddered at the thought of it.
Therefore, I just hold my nose and out of sight, out of mind.
I can't afford to fight, I can't afford to provoke, at best I'll just never have anything to do with you again.
Therefore, the surrounding county governments learned from their mistakes.
Set up checkpoints along the actual control line and do not cross the line.
However, this brings up a new problem.
A strictly guarded border means huge benefits.
Therefore, in addition to the smuggling gangs taking risks,
Even the leaders of the surrounding counties turned a blind eye.
The merchants were allowed to cross the border and enter the three towns to make money.
Of course, the most important thing about Panyu is the port terminal.
Many Nanyang businessmen also discovered business opportunities from this dramatic change.
While purchasing cheap agricultural products,
Large quantities of war horses, weapons and various military equipment were sold.
Therefore, strict defense has become a joke.
The people of the three towns are strong and well-fed, and live a happy life.
The success of the three towns inspired the people in the surrounding counties and prefectures.
Militia groups were secretly established in many places.
Many people secretly came to the three towns to "learn from the masters" and even formed an "alliance".
As soon as they gather enough strength, they will launch the final attack. In short, on the shores of the South China Sea, the spark of armed resistance against corrupt officials,
It is expanding secretly and rapidly, in full swing.
People of insight keenly sensed the danger and spoke out loudly.
"The people are in danger! Southern Xinjiang is in danger! The empire is in danger!
Please ask the court and government to treat the people well!"
However, all those who dared to speak out were punished by the government without exception.
He was arrested on the charge of "spreading evil words to confuse the public" and thrown into prison.
One may want to ask, do these officials really not understand how critical the situation is?
No, everyone who can become an official is a smart person.
It is impossible for them not to be aware that public sentiment is fiery and can be ignited at any time.
But, as long as you are a monk, you will ring the bell.
As long as nothing goes wrong in my territory, I can hold power and live a life of luxury.
As for, who will care about that in the future?
As for whether the empire will perish, what does it have to do with me?
Even if the militia riots, as long as I can escape,
At worst, you can change your job as an official and still be successful.
This is the typical "cuckoo bird" mentality of "I don't care about the flood after I die".
Lu Yuan, who ignited the fire of the three towns, traveled around the world with his new wife.
The Dongyi, Ryukyu and Dongying even crossed the Pacific Ocean and landed in America.
However, the local Indians were extremely hostile to outsiders and even wanted to hunt the couple down.
Without hesitation, Lu Yuan chopped up all the barbarians who were chasing him and fed them to the wolves.
If you die in ignorance, your death will be in vain.
To enjoy the Grand Canyon and the Great Lakes,
Along the way, Lu Yuan killed thousands of savage headhunting warriors, and many tribes had no adult males.
Anyway, these guys are stupid, thinking that "the gods protect them and they are invulnerable to swords and guns".
They all rushed forward using the foolish "human wave tactics", stretching their necks.
How can Lu Yuan be polite?
If one comes, I’ll kill one. If two come, I’ll kill a pair.
The diehard elements who were "warmongers but not good at fighting" were basically wiped out.
After being suppressed with iron and blood, these tribes along the way,
The few remaining old, weak, women and children finally became civilized.
Not only can he understand human language, but he can also sing and dance.
From then on, they all remembered a sentence:
"Being behind does not necessarily mean being beaten.
Those who lag behind, do not keep their word, and cause trouble will surely die quickly! "
Counting the days, it has been almost ten days, so the honeymoon trip is over.
Lu Yuan returned to Incheon City safely with his young wife.
As soon as I came back, there were a lot of things to do.
Quan Douyang finally took action.
He collected enough materials.
All of them are evidence of corruption and fraud by Park Kuk-chang and his cronies.
On December 12, the day after Lu Yuan returned,
At the grand court meeting, the Censorate launched an all-out attack on the Prime Minister's faction.
Lu Yuan said nothing and just watched coldly.
Therefore, according to the process, the resolution to impeach and elect the Prime Minister was carried out.
Despite the best efforts of the Prime Minister's clique, they could only protect the Prime Minister from being dismissed.
However, Park Kuk-chang's right-hand men were all dismissed and handed over to the three judicial departments.
This basically means that the Prime Minister's faction has collapsed.
Sure enough, after the impeachment resolution, Park Guk-chang submitted his resignation to the king.
This time, Lu Yuan only said one sentence.
"The Prime Minister has worked hard and made great contributions. This king will not allow it!"
Some new officials didn't quite understand and thought that the king had once again kept the prime minister.
But the Censorate celebrated.
Because this kind of general praise and retention is just a performance of "three refusal and three decline" drama.
Park Guk-chang has been in officialdom for many years and naturally knows what's interesting.
He wrote to his hometown to retire for two consecutive days, but was rejected each time.
When he wrote the fourth letter, Lu Yuan accepted his resignation.
He was conferred the honorary title of "Marquis of Anping" and was rewarded with a large amount of money and property.
According to the order of succession, Zhou Zhenglong, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, became the second Prime Minister.
With Lu Yuan's instruction, Zhou Zhenglong continued to serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
Although the Censorate also dislikes the chaebol faction,
However, Jeju Free Trade Island is undergoing massive construction.
This is a major national strategy, and King Beihai will not allow Zhou Zhenglong to make any mistakes.
Therefore, Quan Douyang lowered his focus and launched an investigation into officials in various provinces and prefectures.
Overthrowing the Prime Minister has made this guy taste the sweetness, so he is sharpening his knife.
After hearing this, officials from the eight provinces and twenty prefectures,
I was trembling with fear, walking on thin ice, and couldn't sleep at night.
I have repeatedly warned my children and nephews not to do anything evil.
As a result, the morals of the Korean Peninsula became better than ever before.
The whole country is showing vitality and gradually becoming lovable and approachable.
Lu Yuan asked the Phoenix to airdrop supplies to Zhalatu's White Tiger Brigade.
The phoenix came back with the news that
Zhalatu has conquered Tomsk, the eastern invasion base of the Cossack Cavalry Corps.
They were preparing to attack the core stronghold of Omsk.
The remaining Cossack cavalry basically collapsed at the first blow and fled.
So far, they have not captured a single "Russian prisoner."
Moreover, there are many tribes along the way, and the White Tiger Brigade can basically get enough food.
Lu Yuan smiled.
The meaning of Zhalatu is very clear: to support the war by fighting.
So, the real meaning of this sentence is that he needs weapons and ammunition.
The Suzaku Brigade and the Black Tortoise expanded northward and southward, basically destroying the enemy with ease and having no shortage of ammunition.
Therefore, Taining Arsenal and Beihai Arsenal,
All the weapons and ammunition produced were supplied to Zhalatu.
The output of the Incheon Arsenal was equally divided among the other three brigades.
As for Mao Wenlong's invincible fleet, Lu Yuan designed a 105 breech-loading rapid-fire gun.
Five rounds a minute, faster than early bolt-action rifles!
The range is an astonishing 8 miles, and the farthest reach is 10 miles away.
Incheon Arsenal received the drawings and began trial manufacturing.
It is expected to be produced next month.
Once this cannon is deployed, it will basically be invincible in naval battles...
Once discovered, the enemy ship has basically no chance of escape.
In addition, the Qinglong Brigade also underwent rigorous training under the leadership of Park Chung-hwa.
In the winter, he still cruised with the Invincible Fleet every day.
Such high-intensity training caused complaints from pirates and Japanese pirates.
Because Fujiya is also one of the directors of Jeju Island,
Therefore, Mao Wenlong and Pu Zhonghua always tried to get close to his fleet, intentionally or unintentionally.
They even "diligently" escorted them all the way to the coast of Japan.
Fujiya thought that this "special treatment" was a "reward" from the King of the North Sea.
They were so happy that they went to the Shogun to brag about themselves.
Since Jeju Island does not collect taxes, Japanese goods are sold very quickly.
Basically, a batch of goods will arrive every two or three days.
Therefore, the Shogun was also very satisfied.
The entire Japanese nation relaxed its vigilance after the Invincible Fleet's "goodwill" show.
After Mao Wenlong learned the news, he reported it to Lu Yuan immediately.
"My lord, everything is ready, we only lack the east wind!"
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "No hurry! Let's talk about it after the New Year."
Mao Wenlong was puzzled, so he went back to have a drink with Pu Zhonghua to ask for information.
Pu Zhonghua thought for a while and said meaningfully: "It is said that the king intends to change the country's name on New Year's Day."
Of course Mao Wenlong also heard about it.
Rumor has it that the new country will be called "China".
But what does the new country name have to do with going to war?
Pu Zhonghua laughed and said, "You are still a veteran,
What’s the first thing a new official does when he takes office, not to mention the new name of the country?
You have to find someone who is not pleasing to the eye to offer sacrifice to the heaven…”
"oh oh!"
Mao Wenlong suddenly realized.
He slammed the table and said, "Haha, that's great! Let's sacrifice the Japanese devils to the heavens!" (End of this chapter)
