When I take office, I will first vote in the Chenghuang Temple and swear to God. Treat things very diligently. Summer drought, kneeling under the scorching sun, is a response, so it won the hearts of the people.
In the first month of the twelfth year, Yao bandits on the river made an insurrection and were suppressed by the prefect of Hailing, Hunan. Ming Ding worried about inciting Yi Yao, so he just took it.
Xue never leaves the pharmacy. Yao Chang again, knowing the law and breaking the law. With instructors, gentlemen are trained to be brave in the countryside. I suddenly heard about the hail.
When the pond market is destroyed, it will supervise the public to prevent thieves. Thieves outside the city are forced to tell thieves, and residents will cry to stop them. Or report:
"Here comes the thief!" The city people fled in fright, and Ming Ding sat down in royal clothes and waited for him. A few days later, the book said, "Kill me if you hate me, but don't hurt me."
People. "He said, pointing to three feet of practice," if the city dies, I will die. "Xu Zhi, this is not a thief. Near ningyuan county and Guangxi.

Convergence, face like life.

County official Wang Dingming
"Three Biographies of Qing Dynasty Draft 267" records: "Wang Dingming, with a new word, was born in yi county, Shandong. By Gong Linguan Zhongshu, except Xintian County, Hunan Province. Daoguang has been in power for nine years ... In the first month of the twelfth year, Zhao Jinlong, the thief of Jiang Huayao, made a scene ... The more passed, 20,000 people reunited in Lintai and Dafu Village in Guiyang, and Ding Mingxian rode out of the city and vowed to make great contributions. ... Ming Ding is behind the house, ... urging the horse to gallop. Turning to defend the thief with a knife, ... Ming Ding looked around and said, "Why did you kill my man? "The cannon fell off his horse and gouged out his eyes. His head was in a different place. People in the city got it and saved it. It took 92 days to fix it. It looks like life.
On the way to his post
Wang Dingming, a native of yi county, Shandong Province (now Zaozhuang, Shandong Province), gave the Cabinet a Chinese book. In the autumn of the ninth year of Daoguang (1829), the emperor decreed that he was appointed as the magistrate of Xintian County, Hunan Province. Wang Mingming took two entourage to Guiyang, Hunan. At present, it is decided not to wear official clothes, sit in sedan chairs and shout. The civilians take cloth and walk to Xintian to take office.
Walking through a forest, Wang Mingming suddenly heard a cry. He looked for a sound, but he saw a new grave in the forest with almost no leaves. A woman in mourning was crying at the grave, and she was very sad. Wang Dingming stepped forward and saw the woman's face. She is about 40 years old. She bowed deeply and said, "Woman, I'm sorry for your loss. Don't cry, it hurts your body. "
The woman turned to look at Wang Dingming, kind-hearted and upright. Looking like a scholar, he couldn't help saying, "Thank you, officer."
The woman sat up straight and kept wiping her tears. Wang Dingming said, "Do you dare to ask a woman buried in this grave?"
Seeing that the woman was silent, Wang Dingming said with his fist, "I don't think there is anyone in Fiona Fang, Fiona Fang. Why are you so depressed? "
The woman wiped her tears: "Say, you must be from other places. Wang Deming nodded. The woman went on to say, "sir, I don't know. In the past two years, there has been little rain and the grain harvest is very poor." People's lives are hard, and many people have fled the famine. After a while, the woman said, "My husband died of hunger last year. We have a little girl of 20 years old. Because she couldn't pay the rent for many years, she was taken away by the owner. My little girl hanged herself the other day because she couldn't stand the humiliation of her master. Buried in this grave is my little daughter ... "
Wang Dingming sighed, and asked his entourage to give the woman some money, said some comforting words, and got up to leave. When he arrived at the Chenghuang Temple, Wang Dingming told his entourage to bring luggage belt in and said, "Stay here tonight."
The waiter was puzzled and asked, not far ahead is the county government. It's still early, master. Why don't you move on?
Wang Mingming sent someone to the temple to report, and said sadly, "You have followed me for many years and want to know my ambition ..."
The attendant said, "I understand that the master has always treated us like brothers, regardless of rank, and he also cares for ordinary people. He is a good man all his life under your guidance ... "
Wang Dingming patted his entourage on the shoulder with a smile: "That's nice, but it makes sense. As the saying goes, it is better to grow sweet potatoes at home than to be an official ... "
Second, just government affairs.
Standing on the steps of the temple, Wang Dingming looked up, but he saw: at the top of the moon, the sky was vast and clear, and there was silence all around, and a solemn atmosphere enveloped the whole temple. Wang Deming walked slowly to the front of the temple. Facing the statue, he knelt on his knees and looked solemn. He said, "The gods are above me. I, Wang Dingming, have been studying hard for many years, so that once I am the master of the people and once I am an official, I will benefit the people. Now I'm going to Xintian to be a magistrate. I'll do my duty and be a good official ... or I'll be severely punished by the gods.
The next day, Wang Dingming walked into the county government and looked around. He decided to set up a tent in the corner outside the lobby, where he could sleep, eat and live, and told officials not to enter at will, and the people could complain if they had any grievances.
Less than two months after taking office, Wang Dingming tried new cases while dealing with accumulated cases. He inquired carefully about big and small issues, made clear judgments, respected everything, and refused to let his men do it for him.
Once, something happened because of investigating a case of cheating money. Wang Dingming personally visited and learned the ins and outs of the case, and brought Li, who played tricks, to justice. Zhang, who was wronged, personally sent a local product to the county government to express his gratitude. Wang Dingming accepted the gift and paid it to Zhang according to the price.
After a period of time, Wang Dingming's good reputation of fair trial and resolute handling of problems spread out, and people came to his tent to complain. In Xintian County, it is reported that Mr. County Magistrate is an honest official. Occasionally, local rich gentlemen don't believe him, so they go to find a relationship with gifts. Wang Dingming really set the rules and posted them inside and outside the hall. Gifts from all officials in power, rich families and gentry will be rejected. Since Wang Dingming took office for one year, he has established a veritable image of an honest and upright official.
Third, the heart is the people.
Ten years in the summer of Daoguang, it didn't rain for a long time, and the famine was serious, and the people were miserable. Wang Dingming is worried. In desperation, I go to the Chenghuang Temple every day to beg for rain for the people. God opened his eyes and the drought went on as usual. Wang Dingming turned to Vulcan for help, but it didn't help. On this day, the scorching sun was in the sky, the sun scorched the earth, and the seedlings almost withered. Wang Mingming walked in the hot sun, his heart was burning, and he watched people inside and outside helplessly hiding in the shadows of the hall of the tree, sighing and feeling depressed and desperate, just like flogging himself. Wang Dingming, who believes in sincerity, decided to beg for rain under the scorching sun.
Wang Dingming told his men to put instruments of torture on the prisoners, kneeling in the scorching sun and begging for fairy rain. He bowed his head facing the sky and kept praying in his mouth. He has been repeating the same action all morning, and his face is in tears. In the evening, Wang Dingming is still the same. Before long, dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky, and the whole earth was dark. It rained heavily at night, and Wang Dingming was soaked to the skin. He danced like a child in the heavy rain, and everyone went out of the house and surrounded the magistrate. They hold Wang Mingming and cheer.
Rain and tears flowed on people's carnival faces. Facing Wang Dingming, they sincerely said: You gave your life for the people and touched God. My Lord, you have Xintian people in your heart. On behalf of Xintian people, we kowtow to you and thank the gods for sending me a good official to Xintian.
Wang Dingming looked up at the heavy rain and wept with joy: "The people of Xintian County are expected to live!"
Fourth, education is the foundation.
One evening, Wang Dingming, who was sitting at his desk with clothes and checking files, listened to the report of the head of the township, saying that many school buildings in this county were dilapidated, and it leaked when it rained, so students could not study on rainy days. Wang Dingming, who stayed up all night, rubbed his swollen eyes and said, This county is worried about this. Xintian is a poor county, and all kinds of funds are not in place. Many places are short of money. I will buy the official's son facilities for Fu Ya's repair service, and it will be settled in a few days. There is just no urgent need to repair the school. I still have a little money to use here.
The waiter unconsciously lowered his head and said in a trembling voice, "My Lord, you gave most of your salary to the victims and repaired the school building. Your salary is nine Niu Yi Mao, or forget it ... "
After the entourage left, Wang Dingming turned over at night, put out the oil lamp and stared: Education in this county is a top priority. How can we educate people without school buildings? ! The next day, Wang Dingming called everyone in the yamen for donations. He donated money first. A few days later, the money allocated by the yamen to purchase official's son facilities was allocated by Wang Dingming to repair the school building.
After the school building was repaired, it took on a new look County squire and educated people praised Wang Mingming's great deeds. Subsequently, Wang Dingming supervised the school examinations, assessed them impartially and strictly enforced the law. A county magistrate's tolerance and close relatives in charge explained to Wang Mingming privately and asked for accommodation. Wang Dingming said: "I have my own close relatives, and this time I am also referring to it. I have made it clear in advance that I must not take any chances just because I am a magistrate. I should be famous for my real talent and learning. " Sit down, don't embarrass the county ... let the students learn something, this is talk.an excellent thing. "
In order to rectify the order of the county and educate the people of the county to know and abide by the law, Wang Dingming presided over the compilation of the emperor's will and laws and regulations and distributed them to the people. Don't commit a crime because of ignorance. Wang Dingming entered people's homes incognito, examined people's feelings, and provided relief, consideration and care.
Wang Dingming has been deeply loved by the people since he served as magistrate of a county. Storytelling and singing are intended to weave Wang Dingming's actions into folk songs and spread them everywhere. Hearing this, Wang Dingming went to the people and said, "You can't flatter our county like this. People should inform our county of the mistakes in decision-making. I don't know much about this county. Please tell the truth for the great plan of this country. It only makes me ashamed to praise this county. "
Fifth, attract the enemy.
In the 12th year of Daoguang (1933), in February, the leaders of the Yao people in Jianghua, Hunan Province gathered for an uprising. Wang Mingming heard the news and rushed back to Xintian from the provincial capital. The Yao nationality in Xintian was incited and the situation was tense. It was snowing heavily and the wind was cold. Wang Dingming immediately braved the snowstorm, climbed mountains and traveled all over Yao village, lobbied for interests, understood legal principles, was peaceful and good at guiding, and the people in this county had long heard of this magistrate's heartfelt loyalty to the people. At present, many Yao people have settled down.
Returning to the county seat the next day, Wang Dingming summoned the Yao leaders, talked about the pros and cons, enjoyed the wine and food, and entrusted them with status symbols, urging the Yao people not to rebel for the people of Xintian County.
At that time, Zhao Jinlong, the leader of Yao nationality, led the uprising Yao nationality to attack Ningyuan and Lantian counties, and approached Xintian county. Wherever they went, they burned and looted, and the people were frightened. Wang Dingming immediately called the local gentry and villagers to form a team, trained the brave in the countryside, established gas precepts and prepared for war. He decorated the county defense, while leading Xiang Yong to the southern county to stop the enemy.
On February 20th, Zhao Jinlong led the rebels into Xintian County, and fireworks exploded in the surrounding villages, causing panic. Many people in the city are struggling with fear and escape. Wang Dingming was very worried. He immediately decided to meet with Zhao Jinlong, the rebel leader, and tried to use his own justice to stop the rebels' behavior. Hearing this, the crowd immediately surrounded him, and they all knelt down in front of him with a shout and covered their faces.
They all said in unison, "My Lord, absolutely not. If you go there, you will only be threatened by the rebels, and you will encounter a lot of trouble. Facing such a serious person. Wang Dingming looked at the sky and then at the fireworks rising in the distance. He bowed his head and thought for a long time: I don't care whether Wang Dingming will die or not, but the chance of winning this trip is very small. I died needlessly, and people suffered more. So give up. "
The spies kept coming to report that the rebels attacked one after another, approaching step by step, and the offensive was fierce. Wang Dingming assessed the situation: "Xintian County is small and weak in defense, so it cannot defend against the enemy. So he immediately ordered all the people to evacuate outside the city in order to hide and prevent being destroyed by the enemy. "
Wang Dingming sat in the lobby dressed in royal robes, waiting for the arrival of the rebels, and wrote on several cases: "Kill me if you hate me, and don't hurt my people." At this point, there were only two followers around Wang Deming, and Dianshi approached. Pointing to a rope, he said to Dian Shi, "If the city dies, I will die."
Wang Mingming looked at his entourage who refused to leave and shouted: You should run away as soon as possible, and don't die with this county! At this time, a group of scholars poured in outside the hall and immediately cried and bowed down under the hall, crying and shouting: "My Lord, my Lord, please leave with us!" "
Wang Dingming described grief and indignation, but he could not speak. He just waved to everyone to leave. In fact, spies came to report that the rebels had stopped attacking Chaplin, seven or eight miles away.
Wang Dingming let everyone calm down and calm down.
Wang Dingming's feat of fighting for urban survival touched the people near Ningyuan and Guiyang. The next day, the surrounding people spontaneously gathered more than 10,000 people, gathered in Xintian County, volunteered to Wang Mingming, and vowed to fight against the rebels and defend Xintian.
Wang Dingming was very excited, adjusted his costume and prayed to the gods above the lobby: The gods were above, and rebelling against Yao Jun was sinful, killing my people and destroying my fertile land. I will lead all upright people to destroy it, and God will help me. If I win, it will be the fruit of God's blessing. If I am invincible, it doesn't matter if I die. However, where will countless people in our county go? God knows! "
After the prayer, Wang Dingming can command the oath and ride forward. Then ten thousand troops marched on Wotang. Wotang is less than one kilometer away from Chalinpu, where the rebels are located. Wang Dingming sat in the array and ordered all the soldiers to camp and check the forest store. Unexpectedly, the army was sentenced to chaos and the two sides scuffled. Wang Deming took the stone arrow of the rebels to bid for the war, and the foot soldiers fought bravely to kill the enemy, and went forward, killing in a daze and dying, which was terrible.
In this battle, the two sides remained deadlocked until dusk, killing many sentenced soldiers and taking 19 alive, while Xiang Yong also killed more than 100. Wang Dingming led his troops to retreat.
Sixth, solemn and stirring justice
The victory in the first battle was a great boost to morale. Encouraged by this, Xintian people came to join the team in large numbers, totaling more than 20 thousand people. Wang Dingming assembled his troops and prepared for battle. He swore: the city died and I died, the enemy advanced and I retreated, and vowed to live and die with the new heaven!
Wang Deming wanted to take the lead, followed by the soldiers. The attendants around him reminded him: "Please take care of yourself, my Lord, and don't take any risks."
Wang Mingming said seriously, I am the leader of this county. If I don't take the lead, the people are dissatisfied and divided, I can't destroy the rebels.
Soon, Wang Dingming led the crowd to Guniugang, about two kilometers away from Chalinpu. But when I saw the silence on the mountain, only the breeze blew the yellow leaves on the treetops and made a slight noise. Wang Dingming was quite surprised and ordered him to stop at once. Stay where you are and observe for a long time. At this time, a dozen rebels appeared in Wotang not far ahead, and then a large group of people ran to the tea forest shop in a panic. They immediately pursued and rushed to Wotang. Suddenly there was an ambush, shouting, a clear-cut stand, a neat team, and the sound of guns thundered. It turned out that the rebels had planned to bury a large group of people here, and the loyalist was ambushed. These temporarily recruited soldiers and spontaneously gathered Xiang Yong people are untrained and unaccustomed to war. They were caught by Qiang Bing experts and heavy artillery fire, and then dispersed, killing countless people. When everyone was surrounded by Wang Dingming and wanted to escape, Wang Dingming flatly said, "You go first, and I'll go later. Don't be afraid!"
Everyone hesitated, not knowing whether to advance or retreat. At that time, there was a common man named Wang Bai who fled from Henan to Xintian. He said, "My Lord, I am willing to protect my Lord with my death."
As the shouts got closer and closer, Wang Dingming's steed was suddenly frightened and jumped into the air. He gripped the reins tightly. At this moment, a warrior named Zheng came forward and said, "My Lord is a small mount, so he wants to dismount. Wang Mingming waved his hand to stop and said, you need to escort everyone to retreat and protect the villagers. "
At this time, the rebels came after them and massacred them. Countless loyal ministers died at one time, and the dead lay dead. Wang Dingming is very sad. He turned around and shouted, "It's better to kill my people than to kill me." So back to the horse to kill the uneven, suddenly a gunshot, Wang Dingming shot lok ma, soldiers around Wang Bai immediately rushed forward, back up Wang Dingming back. Wang Dingming's blood is boiling, but he still keeps denouncing the rebels. Walking, Wang Bai was chased by the rebels and cut his body with a broadsword. Wang Bai fell to the ground. Wang Dingming fell to the ground, and the rebels came to catch Wang Dingming.
Later, the rebels who hated Wang Dingming unusually gouged out his eyes with combat knives, cut off his head, and brutally killed Wang Dingming.
On February 27th, Xintian County was breached by rebels and occupied the county town for less than two days. The rebels, worried about being surrounded by officers and men, panicked and retreated immediately.
Villagers in Xintian County cleaned the battlefield, found Wang Mingming's head in Wotang, found his body in Guniugang and carried it back to Chenghuang Temple. The villagers burned their hometown and cried, and then died with a big gift. Although they are still alive, their faces are bright.
As the magistrate of Xintian, Wang Dingming didn't bring his family. Before he left, he led the army and handed the official seal to a servant, saying, Give this official seal to the government and ask my son to collect the body.
Xintian County, Hunan Province is more than 2,000 kilometers away from Yixian County, Shandong Province, and it takes three or four months to go back and forth. Wang Dingming didn't wait for his son. His nephew learned that Wang Dingming was leaving from Henan and rushed to Xintian County to transport Wang Dingming's body back to his hometown in Yixian County, Shandong Province with a coffin.
Wang Dingming has been a magistrate in Xintian, Hunan for more than two years. He was loyal to his duties, compassionate to the people, diligent for the people, and became a local official loved by the people, making his name go down in history.
