Master Yuan, start!

"It's just that the acting is a bit too poor."

Chapter 178 Jindan Dao Fengyun Search t: $0;lin wife "uC medical Shanlu

It seems that this Mongolian really thinks of himself as a local emperor.

Yuan Xiangcheng looked at Dakqin and recalled the information that the Red Search Department had provided him with before.

The Mongols in the Khorchin region of eastern Inner Mongolia, such as Rehe and Chifeng, had fought for the Qing Dynasty for a long time.

He invaded the interior of China from the south, marched eastward to Korea, and forced the remaining forces of Outer Mongolia to surrender from the north, conquering cities and territories along the way. He can almost be regarded as the gold medal fighter of the early Jurchens.

The Aohan Banner, the left and right Ongniud Banners, the Naiman Banner, the three Kalaqin Banners, and the two Tumed Banners in eastern Inner Mongolia defected to the Qing Dynasty during the reign of Huang Taiji.

Among them, Aohan Banner was the most prominent. They were the core force of Mongolia during the Northern Yuan Dynasty. After coming under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, they became even more famous and once had a Mongolian population of 2.

Since they had cooperated with the Manchus before the Qing Dynasty was established, and even before the Later Jin Dynasty was established, they had long been the "second masters" after entering the customs.

We helped you Manchus conquer the world. After entering the Pass, the Manchus became the emperor of the Central Plains. I don’t ask to be the Khan of the grassland, but at least it should be no problem for me to be a hereditary prince in the Khorchin area!

This is a true reflection of the psychology of Mongolian princes and nobles in eastern Mongolia.

In other words, the Aohan Banner did not believe that the Qing Emperor had granted them a reward for establishing a pasture here, but believed that they had conquered it themselves.

Inside the country, I obey you, the Qing Emperor.

But outside the Great Wall, especially in the border area between Inner Mongolia and Northeast China, these Mongolian princes and nobles of all generations did not feel that they were inferior to others.

With such a mentality, it is easy for them to have serious conflicts with the local Han people and create the hidden danger of ethnic hatred.

The Mongolian princes and servants treated the Manchus well, after all, they had to consider the emperor in the south, but they treated the Han people like livestock like pigs, dogs, cows and sheep.

There was a shortage of fuel in western Liaoning. Some Han Chinese went up the mountain to chop firewood but were caught by Mongolian soldiers from the palace. The soldiers then inserted a tree branch into their anus and caused them to bleed to death.

In addition, the Dakqin people often "increased the rent of Han people and seized their production", causing "everyone within a hundred miles to complain".

His Mongolian wife also behaved in the same way when she went out. If she couldn't find a suitable road in the countryside, she would order people to clear a road in the farmland.

This is the land that the farmers have worked so hard to cultivate, but it was destroyed so easily.

If any farmer in the countryside showed any hesitation or disrespect, they would be whipped regardless of whether they were a woman, old or young, which almost led to a huge upheaval.

However, this is only for ordinary people after all.

Yuan Xiangcheng originally thought that as the Governor of the Three Northeastern Provinces, he would at least be respectful to him on the surface, but he did not expect to receive such a humiliation as soon as he entered the city.

"Master Yuan, please don't be angry." Seeing Yuan Xiangcheng's unwavering expression, Daqin pointed at the arrested protesters and deliberately scolded them, "Ever since the abolition of customs duties and the reform of commercial law, they have been wailing all day long, and the people have also repeatedly caused trouble. I beg Master Yuan to forgive me."

Dakqin scolded these people on the surface, but in fact he was implicitly criticizing Yuan Shikai for abolishing customs duties and changing to commercial practices, which had caused unrest among the people.

The reason why he dared to do this was not only because of the legacy left by his ancestors.

Also, in his opinion, he was a nobleman of Beizi, which was higher than the duke Yuan Xiangcheng, so naturally he had no respect for Yuan Xiangcheng.

Moreover, Yuan Shikai was a minister, and no matter how powerful a minister was, he was still a minister. But he was a partner of the Qing Dynasty, and his family's hereditary title of Beizi had been passed down for more than 200 years.

As long as I don't rebel, what can you do to me even if you are a powerful official?

Yuan Xiangcheng pretended not to notice the sarcasm in Dakqin's words, and grabbed Dakqin's hand and shook it warmly:

"Dabeizi has been working hard. Not only has he been busy looking after the herdsmen, but he has also had to deal with the unrest among the vendors. Yuan is late, so let's discuss a solution."

Seeing Yuan Xiangcheng smiling, Dakqin thought that Yuan Xiangcheng did not want to be enemies with him, so the two of them pulled each other and went to a restaurant in the city.

"Zi Da, what do you think about the abolition of customs duties and the reform of commerce?" After drinking a glass of wine, Yuan Xiangcheng said kindly.

"Master Yuan, you're joking. I'm just a horseman and an archer, how can I understand things like lijin and commercial taxes?" Daqin said a few polite words, then drank a glass of wine, and as if he had taken courage, he squinted his eyes and said:

"Grassland is not like farmland. I strongly support abolishing the tax system and replacing it with commercial land. However, the people are still confused and I just hope that the action can be postponed."

After saying this, Dakqin picked up the wine glass again, raised his head, and drank it all in one gulp, while at the same time not forgetting to glance at Yuan Xiangcheng out of the corner of his eyes.

"Of course." Yuan Xiangcheng raised his glass in greeting. "When the Demon Queen rebelled, Da Beizi was able to understand the situation and not join forces with the Eight Banners outside the Great Wall. I was able to advance quickly into the Great Wall thanks to Da Beizi's contributions."

Yuan Xiangcheng was not in a hurry. His troops had just arrived and had not had time to familiarize themselves with the situation in Aohan Banner. He had to stabilize Dakqin first.

"Thank you very much, Master Yuan!"

Dakqin didn't expect Yuan Xiangcheng to be so easy to talk to. It was completely different from what he had heard, so he immediately changed his uncooperative attitude.

He was no longer so hostile to Yuan Shikai. After all, in his opinion, as long as Yuan Shikai did not take away his financial resources, the two of them would not interfere with each other.

What's more, he heard that Yuan Xiangcheng was in charge of the construction of the railway outside the Great Wall, and he was thinking of asking for help to build the railway to Aohan Banner!

With this idea in mind, the host and guest naturally got along well, and the two continued to fight at the table.

Seeing that Daqin's face was flushed from drinking, Yuan Xiangcheng asked again, "Prince Da, besides abolishing the customs duties and changing to a commercial business, are there any other troubles around Aohan Banner?"

When Daqin heard this, he immediately started talking:

"Master Yuan, you may not know that these Han Chinese who have recently entered the Guandong Pass have somehow gotten the courage to form gangs and incite the people of Aohan Banner to resist rent and taxes.

I sent people to clear them out, but they refused to obey the rules and killed the head of Beizi Mansion before fleeing.

This bunch of Han dogs is really unreasonable! "

I don’t know if it was because he was angry after thinking about these things, or because he drank too much, but Dakqin’s face was extremely red.

After cursing, Dakqin slapped his forehead and said in frustration, "Look at my brain, Master Yuan, the 'Han dogs' refer to those peasants, definitely not you!"

"Oh, is that true?" Yuan Xiangcheng pretended not to hear the word "han dog" and asked knowingly, "I am the Governor-General of the Three Northeastern Provinces. I didn't know there were such thugs in the Three Northeastern Provinces."

"Yes, and there are quite a few!"

Yuan Xiangcheng's eyes were like torches, and he pretended to promise Dakqin: "Don't worry, Dabeizi, with the National Defense Army here, these rioters can't cause any trouble!"

The solemn words made Dakqin believe it, and after a while, he suddenly poured out all the remaining wine in the jar.

"Master Yuan is a true man. I'm determined to be your friend!"

However, Dakqin did not know that Yuan Shikai had already sentenced him to death in his heart because he disagreed with the abolition of customs duties and the establishment of commercial enterprises, and also disagreed with the movement of farmers' associations.

However, the execution still requires finding a suitable person to serve as a cover.

...

This year, rainfall that came thousands of miles from the Pacific Ocean spread across the entire eastern Inner Mongolia.

However, the rain seemed a little too much, and the eastern part of Inner Mongolia, which had been dry in previous years, was not prepared at all.

The border between Inner Mongolia and Northeast China has been hit by a flood that occurs once in a century.

Under the spray of heavy rain after heavy rain, the brook that usually flows gently turned into a wildly swinging water dragon.

A total crop failure seems to be inevitable.

Faced with floods that often spread over dozens or hundreds of miles, the human body seems particularly small.

With his feet covered in mud and a pair of broad and powerful hands tightly holding the sack on his back, he walked dejectedly into a house in Yicheng, Aohan Banner.

"Master Yang, I don't have the ability to take these things out." Putting down the sack behind him, a middle-aged man said dejectedly to the four people in the room.

"What's going on, Brother Wang?" the man known as Master Yang asked in surprise, looking at the man with muddy feet in front of him. "Did you encounter bandits on the road?"

Someone nearby quickly opened the sack and found that the amount of tea inside had not decreased.

"They're not bandits!" Brother Wang stretched his legs and shook off the mud on his feet, explaining, "The customs on the road is still there, and you have to pay lijin to pass through.

I didn't have the money to pay, so I could only watch the caravan continue northward and return alone."

"The Mongolian barbarians are going too far!" The man called Master Yang was furious.

Master Yang is Yang Yuechun, the leader of the Jindan Dao who has grown rapidly this year.

Due to floods after the beginning of summer, many farmers in eastern Inner Mongolia suffered complete crop failure.

When people encounter pain in the real world, they will choose to comfort themselves in the spiritual world.

As a result, the Jindan Dao, which was originally a rural gang, developed rapidly and became the largest religion in the area. At one point, it had thousands of believers in the Aohan Banner area.

At this time, Yang Yuechun, the leader of the Jindan Dao, had no intention of rebelling, but only wanted to rescue his fellow believers in the countryside.

Fortunately, he had a wide range of friends and was well-informed. When he learned that the Farmers' Association had expanded to the western Liaoning region, he took the initiative to contact the Farmers' Association and asked them to provide some relief.

However, as soon as the farmers' association entered Aohan Banner, it was discovered by the Mongolian Beizi Dakqin, who sent people to drive them out.

The farmers' association also resisted. After all, there were many retired national defense soldiers among them, so they killed the manager of the Beizi Mansion.

After the casualties occurred, considering that they could not be exposed too early, the leaders of the farmers' association decided to withdraw from the eastern part of Mengdong overnight.

At this point, Yang Yuechun still did not give up hope. Although the farmers' association was driven out, it still gave Yang Yuechun an idea. He could take advantage of the opportunity of abolishing customs duties and switching to business to actively sell local specialties, and maybe he could survive the crisis.

Yang Yuechun acted immediately. He collected a sack of tea and sent people to follow the caravan north to Outer Mongolia, which led to the scene just now.

"I didn't expect the Mongolian barbarians to ignore the monthly fees and the orders of the four prefectures and still forcibly set up customs and collect lijin!"

Farming has made them unemployed, and they have no chance to become traders. Yang Yuechun knows that if the Han people in Aohan Banner don't have any income, they will definitely not survive this winter.

"Master Yang, what should we do?"

"Why not call all the fellow believers and turn the Prince's Mansion upside down!" The desire for revenge had already ignited in Yang Yuechun's heart.

"Killing people? Yuan Xiangcheng is coming to Aohan Banner with a large army. Can we defeat him?"

"Yes, although Yuan Xiangcheng is a Han Chinese, he is not on the same side as us. In order to save his Manchu master, he killed people all over the country!"

The other people in the room couldn't help but feel sympathetic when they thought of Yuan Shikai's military achievements.

"What's there to be afraid of? The world beyond the Great Wall is vast. There's no place for us to go in such a big world."

"Yes, the Hetao area in the west. I heard that they've been finding people to reclaim the wasteland in recent years, and they've had a good harvest every year! At worst, we can just go to the Hetao area after we've finished robbing."

Hearing that there was a way out, Yang Yuechun could no longer suppress his desire for revenge: "The brothers from the Farmers' Association are still in contact with me, and they still have guns in their hands."

"Musket!"

"But it's something foreigners use?"

"That's right!" Yang Yuechun nodded and began to prepare his plan.

"Yuan Xiangcheng can't stay in Aohan Banner forever. As soon as he leaves, we will start a rebellion, kill Dakqin, and take away all the gold, silver and treasures before leaving.

Even if the National Defense Army is the strongest army in the world, it can't catch up to Hetao!"
