Han’s Son is Not a Slave

In Jiading, Yu Baien, who knew the seriousness of the situation, rushed back to the city overnight, knocked on the gate of the county government, and told his friend Tang Xiaoxian what he found.

Tang Xiao knew about the "buying bamboo" incident a long time ago and sent someone to investigate, but nothing was found, so he didn't take it seriously. But when Yu Baien told him that there were a large number of clergymen who bought bamboo, and that there might be Manchu spies involved, and even local Han gentry, Tang Xiaoxian was also awe-inspiring, and his intuition of leading soldiers for many years told him , Jiading has a major event.

"The county must immediately send troops to search the religious temple and those large villages, and put all the people who buy bamboo into the prison. If it is too late, if they are called to move, I am afraid there will be blood all over the place!"

What Yu Baien thought about the most along the way was that if it was really Manchu spies who secretly encouraged the people to rebel and the gentry who were dissatisfied with the government, then once these people mobilized, not only Jiading, Songjiang, and even the whole country would be devastated. Jiangnan will be plunged into turmoil. This was a major blow to the Dingwu court, which had just recovered for just over a year. Jiangnan is the land of money and grain in the world. Since ancient times, there has been no chaos in the land of money and grain, and the Northern Expedition can restore the Central Plains. Only by capturing all the participants before the situation worsens, can the losses be minimized.

"Take everyone to jail?"

Tang Xiaoxian was hesitant, but he was noncommittal about Baen's suggestion. The recent incident of rioting among the churchmen left him with lingering fears. Although it was suspicious for the religious temple and the big household to buy bamboo, it seemed like a big fuss to send troops to search for it just because of that. If things are not what Yu Baien imagined, then he will stab the hornet's nest again. Evidence, there must be evidence before he can take people, otherwise, the consequences may not be something he can handle as a small magistrate.

"That's it, I'll ask the people from the sixth room to go to Zhuangzi, who has doubts, one by one, and ask them to understand the matter. If they can't tell the reason, it's not too late to lock them up." Tang Xiaoxian felt that this method was quite comprehensive and could Avoid taking the wrong person.

Yu Baien also knew this friend's embarrassment, and thought that those clergymen wouldn't make trouble in a hurry, so he didn't insist. Immediately, Tang Xiaoxian asked people to find the officers of the six houses and ordered them to inspect the various Zhuangzi outside the city, and he must ask them why they bought a lot of bamboo. Originally, he was going to send Cao Kuai to the church, but the Lord Boding Ladong volunteered himself. The people at the preaching temple were very disgusted with the people in the government. The temple was also a holy place for the people. Something will happen. It would be better for him to go there in person, so that the people who teach the temple will not be too resistant.

Tang Xiao thought about it first, agreed to Ding Zhubo's request, and told him to be more careful. If there was anything wrong, he would immediately come back and report the news, and then the government would transfer troops to deal with it. Ding Zhu Bo responded and went to Baihe Temple, a religious temple outside the city, with only two officials.

Unexpectedly, after entering Baihe Temple, Ding Zhubo expressed his intentions in the future, and the faces of the people in the temple changed, claiming that no bamboo was ever bought in the temple. Ding Zhubo was responsible, and he was seen with his own eyes when he taught the temple to buy bamboo. He didn't check it in the temple. He went back like this and couldn't communicate with the county magistrate. So he insisted on checking it in the temple. , that is, Ding Zhubo is not allowed to inspect. During the stalemate, the two officials who came with him found that dozens of Christians suddenly poured into the temple, and the leader was Ma Dalong, a childhood friend of Ding Zhubo.

"Dalong, you came just in time. Someone saw that the temple bought a lot of bamboo poles. The magistrate asked me to ask why the temple bought a lot of bamboo."

Ding Zhubo breathed a sigh of relief with the arrival of his childhood friend. He knew that Ma Dalong had the post of a sutra teacher in the teaching temple and had a very high status among the disciples. He observed that in this way, he could not only complete his errands, but also teach the temple to be innocent.

Ding Juren, a good friend of the county honoree, said that people were infiltrating people, but Ding Zhubo never believed that religious temples would organize religious rebels. There are only 50,000 parishioners in Songjiang, and there are only a few thousand young people, including the old, the weak, the sick, the disabled, the women and children, and the young and strong. If you want to rebel, what can you do? And why would they oppose it? The government has already compensated for the death of the master, so what else is there to be dissatisfied with? Besides, the religious people are not Chinese people, so it is hard to make a rebellion, and this China can be taken over by the religious people. The Manchurians were so powerful in the past, with more than a hundred thousand people occupying more than half of China, but now they are also sent back to the north by the Han people. Even Manchurians can't do it, so how can Christians who have lived in China for 300 years become successful? Therefore, it is unbelievable that Ding Zhubo beats them to death if they are plotting to rebel against the imperial court.

Ding Zhubo invited Tang Xianzun to come to the temple, and the fundamental purpose was to prove the innocence of the temple and the people. Indeed, a few days ago, the church people gathered in the city to smash and smash the county government office, but that happened for a reason. From the beginning to the end, whether the church or the church people, there has never been a half-point rebellion. And carry on. As for those Han people who were accidentally injured, they were just Chiyu who suffered. Taking a step back, it was true that the churchmen didn't kill anyone after all.

I just thought that my friend Ma Dalong would readily agree to discuss it with the temple for himself, but he didn't want Ma Dalong to come to the front. Poke into Ding Zhubo's chest.

"Dalong, you!...you...what are you doing?..."

Poor Ding Zhubo didn't believe that his childhood friend would kill him until he fell down. When the two officials who came along saw this situation, they were so frightened that they didn't wait for them to rush out. Several churchmen stepped forward to hold them down, and then you punched and I kicked, and they were beaten to death like this. in the temple.

The sutra teachers of the teaching temple looked at the atrocities in front of them, all of them were very dumb, and no one came up to dissuade them.

"Chop the bodies of these three people into eight pieces and throw them into the river beach to feed the fish!"

While wiping the blood-stained sharp knife, Ma Dalong instructed people to drag the bodies of the three Ding Zhubo down. The ground was covered with blood, and the long bloodstains stretched all the way to the outside of the temple.

After hearing the news, more and more Christians came, and the temple was full of people. Ma Dalong brought a chair, stood on it, and shouted to the disciples: "The Han people want to kill all our disciples. In order to protect the education, we must act immediately, otherwise, everyone will be killed by the Han people!"

Of all the religious people who came here, only a few people knew about Ma Dalong's secret cooperation with the Manchus, and the rest didn't know about it, so I suddenly heard that the Han people were going to kill all the religious people. Some believed it, but some didn't believe it. , because they had never heard of it before.

The unbelievers turned their attention to those reputable sutra teachers, but to their surprise, the sutra teachers all agreed with Ma Dalong's statement, saying that the government wanted to kill all the clergymen.

"The thief commander of the Taiping Army said that he wanted to kill all non-Han people. Our disciples are not Han people. In their eyes, they are Tartars and barbarians. Even if we have lived in China for hundreds of years, they will not treat us as Chinese!"

The support of the sutra teachers gave Ma Dalong full confidence. He shouted: "The Taiping army does not treat our disciples as human beings. Did you know that in Guangxi two years ago, the Taiping army killed many of our disciples. Our great teacher Ma Si Baba told the Taiping Army to drown in the Liujiang River, and all the religious temples in Guangxi had them demolished, and we religious people just asked them to bury them alive because they refused to put a mouthful of lard on their mouths!”

I don't know where Ma Dalong heard about the Taiping army's torture of the religious. He said it one after another, making the doubtful churchgoers lose their minds, and their anger took over their brains. Especially when they knew that Ma Si Baba, the great sutra teacher most admired by the religious people in the world, was also killed by the Taiping Army, only the anger of revenge remained in the hearts of the religious people.

"It used to be Guangxi, now it is Jiangnan, and it will be the Northwest in the future. Wherever the Taiping Army goes, there is no way for me to teach the people how to live! Instead of making them kill, it is better to fight!"

Ma Dalong successfully aroused the hatred of all the churchgoers. With the assistance of the Buddhist scripture teacher, all the churchgoers soon reached an agreement that they must take revenge on the Han people immediately.

"The Qing Dynasty promised our country the status of religion. After the event is completed, there will be a large army going south. At that time, the fields that have been taken away, the money that has been stolen can be returned."

In the end, Ma Dalong threw out the conditions promised by the Manchurians. When he heard that the Qing army was helping, the churchmen also had some confidence in the rebellion. Soon, bundles of sharpened bamboo poles were carried out, and the parishioners rushed forward to get bamboo guns. Another bundle of swords was carried out~www.wuxiaspot.com~ These ordinary religious people and the thin and weak were not able to get them, but were led by the Buddhist monks and religious people with status in the sect.

After distributing the weapons, Ma Dalong had to lead the disciples to revolt immediately, because the government had already discovered that they had bought bamboo, and Ding Zhubo had not returned, and the county would definitely be suspicious. If you don't need to enter too much, maybe some officers and soldiers will kill you. Now, it is to take the lead before the government has acted!

Just when all the religious people took their weapons and waited for the order, a scene that surprised them happened.

Ma Dalong summoned his wife. Ma's wife thought that her husband wanted to tell him to take good care of his children. He didn't want Ma Dalong, but suddenly stepped forward to restrain his wife and restrained her with all his strength, so he strangled his wife to death in front of the people.

All the religious people were stunned by this scene, and they did not understand why Ma Dalong wanted to kill his wife. The parishioners did not understand, nor did Ma Dalong's eleven-year-old son and nine-year-old daughter. The two stared blankly at their mother lying in their father's arms, so scared that they could not say a word.

"Come here!"

After throwing his wife's body on the ground, Ma Dalong turned his face and stared at his children. A pair of sons and daughters stepped forward tremblingly, but Ma Dalong stepped forward, stabbed his son's heart with one knife, and cut his daughter's neck with a knife. It's a pity that these two children were killed by their own biological father without even uttering a scream.

When Ma Dalong turned around again, his eyes made everyone look scared. The parishioners felt a chill from the bottom of their hearts, and they were really afraid of Ma Dalong to the extreme. They hated and feared.

"To protect the education now, there is no way out, no turning back!"
