Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture, outside Xujiahui, is densely populated with soldiers.
Speaking of this Huating County, it is necessary to mention Xu Jie, the first assistant scholar of the Jiajing Dynasty, and when it comes to Xujiahui, it is necessary to mention Xu Guangqi, the second assistant of the cabinet of the Chongzhen Dynasty and a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion.
Xujiahui this place was originally called Xujiawei, when Xu Guangqi had built a farm here, engaged in agricultural experiments and wrote a book, after his death was buried here, his descendants multiplied here, the initial name was "Xujiawei", and then gradually became a market town.
Because it is located at the confluence of Zhaojiabang and Fahuajing, it is named "Xujiahui".
It's just that if they are not Songjiang locals, they are a little confused about the name of "Xujiahui", and outsiders come here only because of Xu Jie, not Xu Guangqi.
After all, compared with the popularity, Xu Jie, the old man of the Jiajing Dynasty, is much more well-known.
Tang Xiaoxian, who presided over the Jiading Qing Debt Division, did not know the origin of the name of Xujiahui, but said that this place was where the descendants of Xu Jie.
Tang Xiaoxian is this person, the ancestor was a military general who entered Sichuan during the Hongwu period, and later moved to Guizhou, and passed to Tang Xiaoxian's generation, which is the ninth generation.
Tang Yuan was the chief officer of the Ming army in Guizhou, and he once surrendered to the Qing Dynasty with Sun Kewang, and later saw that the Ming army was strong and there was hope of regaining his sight, so he led several cronies to escape from Changsha and surrender to the Taiping army in Hengyang.
Because of the map he presented in the war meritorious, so he made an exception for the commission of 100 households, and since then has been in Huguang to help the legion to serve, once with the thirteen towns to participate in the Yangzhou War, the battle of the green flag soldier two, the Mongolian soldier one, won the town award.
After Zhang Changgeng, the former governor of Qinghuguang, was ordered by the king of Qi to preside over the yamen of Jiangsu Province, because the local officials were unavailable, he invited the king of Qi to send a large number of capable people from the army to form local debt settlement divisions.
Tang Xiaoxian was selected for his rough understanding of literature and ink and was sent to Jiading to preside over the settlement of debts.
There is heaven on the road and Suzhou and Hangzhou below.
In fact, southern Jiangsu is not Suzhou, but Suzhou and Songjiang.
Speaking of which, Songjiang is more elite than Suzhou, so colleagues in the army were envious when they learned that Tang Xiaoxian was able to go to Songjiang to preside over the payment of debts.
Tang Xiaoxian was also very grateful for the reuse of the superiors, and vowed to clear the gentry under his rule to the end.
Who would have thought that as soon as he took office, he encountered tricky things.
Huating is the most elite place in Songjiang, the Ming generation alone Huating has 48 jinshi, the first assistant, the second assistant each one, the university scholar, bachelor, the six hall officials and servants also have more than ten.
Over the past two hundred years, the relationship between the gentry here has been very complicated, and it can be said that if one person is moved, all of them will be moved, and the whole body will be moved.
What is the debt, that is, the gentry and big families are bloodletting, and the money and food that their families have tried so hard to escape for decades will be taken out.
People in the world, no matter how virtuous you are, there are always a few people who are willing to invest to help the imperial court's Northern Expedition.
I think that many gentry in Jiangnan have secretly funded to contact Jinxia Zheng Jun in recent years, trying to oppose the Qing Dynasty, which sounds righteous, but after all, the money is small, and their purpose of opposing the Qing Dynasty is not to pay taxes to the Qing court.
Now, the Ming Dynasty not only did not give them back the privileges they had back then, but forced them to bleed, which is unbearable.
As soon as the news of debt settlement arrived, the gentry of Songjiang spontaneously formed an anti-debt alliance.
It was privately agreed that if there was something for the family, each family would help.
Even if you lose your head, you have to go back to the trend of paying off your debts.
Secretly formed an anti-debt alliance, and on the bright side, the eight immortals crossed the sea, each with magical powers.
Within three days of Tang Xiaoxian's tenure, more than 10 greeting slips were received in the yamen, and more than 20 pieces of official names were received, many of which were from the Nanjing court.
These greeting notes and official names are nothing more than one purpose, that is, to ask Tang Xiao to give face first, and just mean to these families.
If Tang Xiao didn't know how to lift first, then someone would deal with him.
The three counties of Jiading, Huating, and Wujiang were also not enthusiastic about the settlement of debts, and the officials held the idea of delaying and blocking if they could, and regarded the settlement of debts assigned by the province and the government as wind in their ears.
Tang Xiaoxian sent the official documents to the counties in the name of the Debt Settlement Division for the assistance of the investigation were all lost in the sea, and there was no news.
The government is like this, and the gentry and big families do not take the debt settlement department in their eyes, and everyone says that this debt settlement is a bad government, and the person who presides over the court will definitely take public opinion and stop this bad government.
In addition to collectively resisting the payment of debts, the officials and gentry also instigated the people to gather to make trouble, saying that these people not only came to pay off the debts, but also to pay off the debts.
As soon as the big families are raided, they will start to pay off the debts to the civilians.
The people were deceived and instigated by this, how do they know the real situation inside, and the gentry have been the real "people's hearts" since ancient times, they not only control social resources, but also control public opinion, so in this way, Jiading Qing Debt Division is not facing a simple big household, but the people of Songjiang County.
After six days in a row, there was no progress in clearing the arrears, and the officials and soldiers sent out were still driven and beaten by the people, and they were not even allowed to buy some tenants and scoundrels who knew the bottom of the matter.
Kill chickens to show monkeys, where is the most prosperous Xujiahui in Huating County, where there are the most rich households in Huating County, Xujiahui On the morning of the 14th, the soldiers blocked several avenues in and out of Xujiahui from all directions, and the gentry and wealthy families in the town were shrewd, and when they saw that the posture was not right, they immediately organized the people to confront the officers and soldiers at the intersection.
He secretly sent his family out of the town to ask for help, but the soldiers surrounded the road in and out, and there were officers and soldiers patrolling the waterway.
"The people gather to rush to the top of the government to run errands, arrest them first, and if there is resistance, it will be regarded as a rebellion" After another half an hour, after discussing a few words with Jiang Shijie, a hundred garrison households who came to assist, Tang Xiaoxian ordered the soldiers to enter the town, first put the people into custody, and then went to all the major households to be counted one by one.
Those who are willing to pay the tax arrears are ordered to prepare money and food, and those who are unwilling to pay will be taken away, and when their families will make up the tax arrears, when will the person be released.
As for the fact that if the blind people dare to resist, the consequences are needless to say.
After all, the people are a rabble, where can they withstand the opponents of the soldiers who are like wolves and tigers and fight for their lives with the Tartars on the battlefield.
As soon as the soldiers rushed, the people were immediately frightened, and then they dispersed, and then Xujiahui was a chicken flying and a dog jumping.
The people who fled home thought that they could escape the soldiers, but unexpectedly, the soldiers were the Qing of a household, and the people were driven out of their homes regardless of their age, and then they were all taken into one place to be guarded.

"Pillar Daddy, do you think I used pot ash to paint my face?"
"Why?"
"Aren't people a little pretentious?"
"Pull it, it's not bad if you don't scare people, and if you look good, you can fool me, a blind man." “” "Iron pillar, is the deadbolt tight?"
"Tightened" "Old man, where is the money at home?"
"Hidden" "Where's it hidden?"
"Leave my daughter-in-law aside."
"What's wrong with her, ouch, my father, how can I get this back?"
“” "Shopkeeper, hurry up, the officers and soldiers are coming" "I know, hey, slow down, slow down, push slowly, no matter how hard you try, my old bones will be scattered" “” Xujiahui, which is prosperous on weekdays, almost disappeared in the blink of an eye, and everywhere the people who paid off the debt went to people, people and animals were restless, ghosts and wolves were howling, and there were screams everywhere.
Tang Xiao rode on the horse first, looking at the group of people who were escorted out of their homes, he had no sympathy, and only raised his hand and shouted: "Search for me, it is better to arrest the wrong thousand people than to let one go."
When the soldiers heard the shouts of the officials, they worked even harder, and they were eager to turn over the land.
As evening approached, there were only three places left that had not been searched, one was the Xu family and the other was the Wang family.
The Xu family, since the descendants of Xu Guangqi, the second assistant of the Chongzhen Dynasty, is also the largest household in Xujiahui; The Wang family is the mother family of Queen Taishang.
Empress Wang's ancestral home is Suzhou, but her father Wang Luo moved his family to Huating before becoming the prefect of Guangdong.
In the past, the Wang family did not have much reputation in Huating, even if the Wang family had a queen, but after all, this Ming Dynasty was going to be finished, and what did the last queen have to rely on.
But now that Nanjing has been recovered, the Ming Dynasty has risen again, although the emperor has changed, the Dingwu court still respects Yongli as the emperor, and the queen has naturally become the queen mother.
It's okay to search Xu's family, the second assistant of his family has been dead for more than 20 years, but the Queen Mother's family also has to be searched, but it's a little scary.
The Taiping Army who came to assist in clearing the arrears led a team of 100 households Jiang Shijie's ancestral home of Yixing, his grandfather's generation moved his family to Fenghua, Zhejiang, and now the Jiangsu accent is gone, replaced by a Fenghua accent.
"Niang Xipi, just clear the Xu family, and the Queen Mother's family should be kept."
Jiang Shijie privately instructed his subordinates not to go to the Wang family first, but he couldn't tell that the Wang family was not up to him, although Tang Xiaoxian was a hundred households like him, but the order given to him from above was to unconditionally cooperate with the Debt Clearance Division, Tang Xiaojie had to say search first, then Jiang Shijie naturally couldn't disobey the order, otherwise he would have to go around.
Tang Xiaoxian's deputy envoy Meng Hao was also aware of the existence of the Queen Mother, so he reminded Tang Xiaoxian and said, "My lord, do you want to collect the team and go back?"
Hearing this, Tang Xiao twisted his neck first: "Why do you want to close the team?"
Meng Hao was stunned: "We have searched the size of Xujiahui, and all the big families have sent troops, where do you want to clear out?"
Tang Xiao raised his hand and pointed to the east, and said coldly: "Isn't there still a Wang family that hasn't been cleared?"
Meng Hao was shocked: "My lord, we can't go there" Tang Xiao turned his head first and asked, "Why can't you go?"
Meng Hao hurriedly said: "The Wang family is the queen mother's family, we have not received the holy order, we can't go to his house without permission, otherwise the emperor will investigate it, and the future of the adult is afraid that it will not be guaranteed."
Tang Xiao listened to it first, but he reined in the reins, and snorted: "I don't care about the Queen Mother Zhao, I only know that the marshal asked me to come to Jiading to pay off the debt, as long as I owe taxes, I have to make up the money for Lao Tzu, and the king of heaven and Lao Tzu can't stop me from passing on the order, Qing Wang's family" oshow7 t1706231537:
