New Empire at the End of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 33



Li Wu is just a small role, which can\'t be compared with the Liu family. Not to mention Li Wu, he is the big backstage of Li Wu. Zhou Wentong, the magistrate of Jimo County, doesn\'t dare to bully the Liu family. The Liu family has been rooted in this area for decades and is already one of the local snakes.

But Li Wu and his backstage now think that the Liu family has lost power and they can move.

The Liu family has always been strong. They have been in this land for decades, but now with the bad situation, it is said that the two governors are very dissatisfied with him.

Especially after the Wuqiao mutiny, Shandong was in chaos and the people were miserable. Everyone knows that Liu Jiafu is the best in the world. The two governors have always hoped that Liu Yuanqiao can donate more money and food to help the local recovery.

However, all these were rejected by Liu Yuanqiao. Liu Yuanqiao, a tax official, is under the control of the Ministry of officials, and there are relations in the palace, so it has been as stable as Mount Tai. But now, the local forces are beginning to be strong, and they can challenge some big figures in the imperial court. Therefore, Liu Yuanqiao, an official sent from above, is not very popular.

The two adults don\'t like Liu Yuanqiao, and his life is difficult. Moreover, someone saw that Liu Yuanqiao didn\'t let his son enter the tax customs, but went back to his hometown to be a thousand households. It\'s too inappropriate. The position of Deputy principal has been for decades. The so-called principal of running water and Deputy principal of iron. They have worked in this official position for three generations and never wanted to be promoted or transferred, The disciples and old officials\' cronies spread all over the tax customs.

However, in Liu Bu\'s generation, Liu Yuanqiao has not allowed his son to enter the tax clearance, but let him return to his hometown and become a small thousand family official. Although the level and official title have increased, compared with the oil and water of the tax clearance, it is not as good as 1% of the Deputy principal of the tax clearance.

Many people think that the Liu family is losing power, so as one of the land snakes, Jimo county magistrate, he thinks that now he can explore the foundation of the Liu family. Maybe they can become the first person to eat crabs.

Zhou Wentong, the magistrate of Jimo County, was born as a supervisor because he knew he didn\'t like the master. It was estimated that they would leave soon. When he had no official body protection, the seemingly powerful Liu family was even a paper tiger.

As for Liu Bu, the son of Liu Yuanqiao, who became a thousand family official of Fushan Institute, Zhou Wentong simply did not treat him as one thing. Now he is a noble man and a humble man. Don\'t say that you are a small thousand family. Even if you are the chief soldier, he doesn\'t eat your suit. Another master of the Liu family, Liu Yuanshan, the commander of Mo Yiying, but in Zhou Wentong\'s eyes, It\'s no different from an ordinary rich man or a military household. If he didn\'t pay some taxes and benefits in private, everyone could get in face. Zhou Wentong would have looked good to him.

Over the past few decades, civil and military officials have always lost in lawsuits, which has greatly contributed to their arrogance.

Now it is said that after Liu Bu came, he recruited troops and bought horses, and also raised chicken farms, pig farms and fishing grounds. Now it is time for them to do it. If they dare to resist, they can ask him a crime of rebellion.

Now the Liu family is losing power. Maybe his move by Zhou Wentong is in line with the meaning of the bosses above. The bosses will promote it as soon as they are happy.

So Zhou Wentong secretly instructed his minion Li Wu to lead his tax Ding to collect taxes in Fushan office.

Now is not the time to collect taxes, and this year\'s taxes have also been paid, but this is not a problem. They immediately set up a name called Lianxiang apportionment. Isn\'t the imperial court organizing an army to encircle and suppress the roving bandits? Group training is being organized everywhere. Do you want money for group training? This is called Lianxiang, extra charge.

Therefore, everyone has to pay a tax of one or two silver for the Lianxiang apportionment he collects now. If he doesn\'t pay it, he will resist the tax.

After Li Wu got the instructions from the big boss, he immediately came to Fushan to make trouble. His real purpose is not to collect taxes, but the Liu family.

After Li Wu came to Fushan, he also saw that the richest was the Liu family, which had oil and water. Some other military farmers just smashed their bones, and there was no oil in the stones. Only when the Liu family was moved, could there be oil and water. Due to the power of the Liu family, he had been afraid to do anything. Now with the instructions of the big boss, he came immediately.

This time, Li Wu wanted to make trouble, so he collected taxes very ferociously. When he entered the Fushan office, he immediately began to arrest people door to door. He didn\'t collect taxes, but arrested people first, and then collected taxes after catching people.

This is Li Wu\'s experience in collecting taxes for many years. If you collect them one by one and let them take the initiative to pay them, it is impossible to pay them. The mud legs and Dalits are all crying poor. They all pretend to be dead and have no money. They look like they want money and life.

But if you catch the men or men in their home, and then fight and torture them to death, these people will immediately pay the money. If they have no money, they will borrow, borrow usury or sell children and women, and they will also get the money.

This is the best and most effective way. He has done this kind of thing several times, and each time he successfully received the tax silver. He was very satisfied and recognized his ability.

In the past, the kongqian family in Fushan didn\'t have any backstage and didn\'t dare to face him. They could only look at him like this and wreak havoc in the place. Now the kongqian family died and Liu Bu took over. Now Liu Bu is in charge.

Because the main personnel were practicing and training in the Tibetan army Valley, the Fushan station was just an unprotected station. They broke in directly, grabbed some people and escorted them to the teaching ground.

After all, the headquarters of Qianhu post is where the military aircraft are located. He dare not mess around and dare not break in.

Li Wu deliberately made trouble and provoked the Liu family this time, so they directly ordered everyone to pay a head tax of one or two silver. If they didn\'t, they would catch a person from the family and whip him on the teaching ground on the spot. Others used the method of Li Jia. Some women in some families were a little beautiful and were taken advantage of by them, It\'s a mess.

Liu Bu was still occupied in Fushan. As they mobilized to defend the headquarters, Ordnance Department and divine arm crossbow workshop, they immediately sent someone to the Tibetan army Valley to report Liu Bu to them.

The distance between the Tibetan army Valley and the Fushan station was only a few miles. The sentry came to report, and less than a cup of tea Kung Fu was listed. Less than half an hour later, Liu Bu knew that someone was making trouble in his base camp, which made him very angry and immediately urgently summoned the servants.

Liu\'s servants have just finished training. It is their half hour rest time. They will use this half hour to take a nap after dinner and continue training in the afternoon. Who knows that they have just fallen asleep when the bell of emergency assembly rang.

When the bell rang, several hundred households rushed in and shouted, "get up! Get up! Armor! Weapons!"

The servants didn\'t know what had happened, but the bell was a military order. They immediately began to put armor on their bodies, and then quickly lined up to go out and go straight to the field with weapons.

Since Liu Bu gave the order, he immediately came to the flag of the point General of the school field. They have a rule here, that is, those who ring the clock less than ten times (three minutes) will beat ten sticks on the spot; Less than 20 times (six minutes), fight 30 sticks; Those less than 30 years old will be expelled from their families and will never be used again, which shows the severity of their military discipline.

Less than half a cup of tea Kung Fu, all 800 servants in armor and weapons entered the teaching field, forming four teams, each with 200 people.

They stood there neatly, waiting for Liu Bu\'s review.

Liu Bu is very satisfied. The long-term training has given these soldiers the ability to respond conditionally. They quickly gathered in just three minutes, and most of them put on armor and weapons. None of them fell behind. Liu Bu is very satisfied with this.

Liu Bu said loudly, "we have always been in line here in Fushan, but today someone bullied us and directly came to Fushan office to collect taxes, smash, burn and rob. What do you say?"

"Beat his mother!" Liu Bu\'s cousin Liu Yu said first: "whoever he is, beat his mother again."

The Liu family all spoke, and then the soldiers shouted in unison: "hit his mother! Hit his mother! Hit his mother!"

Liu Bu nodded with great satisfaction and said, "yes! Just hit the fuck! I\'m not a prisoner, people don\'t offend me, if people offend me, I\'ll be a prisoner! Get ready to go."

Liu Zhongyong, the deputy commander of Qianhu in everyone\'s mind, came out to introduce the situation. He said: "Li Wu from the tax office comes directly to us to collect taxes. One person has to pay one or two silver. They don\'t collect taxes first. They beat people first. They deceive people too much. We can\'t bear it. This time, we have to deal with the tax collectors of the tax office. Collect their weapons and kill them if there are rebels. This is the battle order. Let\'s go!"

Liu Zhongyong quickly worked out the battle plan and conveyed it to several hundred officials, Liu Yu, Liu Kang, Mao Shengli and Yang Shun, who then conveyed the order.

At their command, they immediately divided their troops into three ways and rushed directly to Fushan.

They usually also have field training programs. This time, they implemented the same standards as the training, and rushed to the Fushan station.

Fushan is Liu Bu\'s base camp. He is worried that Li Wu will spoil it. There is his divine arm crossbow manufacturing workshop here. Something happened and the consequences were serious, so he immediately led more than 50 of their cavalry to set out.

Their cavalry set out first and went straight to Fushan station, followed by Liu Yu. Liu Zhongyong led 400 people in two ways, blocking the south gate and North Gate of Fushan station to prevent them from escaping.
