Shi Kefa, politician Shi Kefa, was born in Xiangfu, Henan. The first year of the examination. This year, he was appointed as the western official of An Jun, a native of Shaanxi Province, in charge of the trial of prison cases. Since then, I have entered the official career. During his tenure in the West, there was a famine in Shi Kefa. Because of his ability to relieve famine and sympathize with the people, his reputation soon spread to the capital. In the fifth year of Chongzhen, the imperial court transferred him to the capital, where he was appointed as the minister of the household department and later promoted to Langzhong. In fact, he was in charge of the national treasury called Taicang at that time and the northeast military expenditure called Liaoxiang. He handled a lot of money, but Shi Kefa was spotless. In the tenth year of Chongzhen, Shi Kefa was promoted to the secretariat of Qidan. Anqing, Luzhou, Chizhou, Taiping and some counties around Henan, Hubei and Jiangxi all became independent local officials, but their lives were still very frugal. The place under Shi Kefa; American jurisdictions have suffered from famine for years, and people's lives are very difficult. He wrote to the emperor asking for exemption from land tax. At that time, as the governor, Shi Kefa was in charge of military affairs, and he led the troops stationed in Lu 'an. It turns out that after the middle of the Ming Dynasty, in order to ease class conflicts and facilitate the collection of fees and taxes, the American government began to implement flogging in the whole country from 158 1, mainly to simplify the tax system and incorporate the most disturbing labor into the tax revenue. However, places like Lu 'an have been doing things the old-fashioned way for a long time, which has always put a heavy burden on the people. The most unbearable thing for ordinary people is to raise a batch of horses for the government every year. Whenever the country uses troops, the government sends many cavalry to ask the people for horses. Even the middle class can succeed. I can't stand their exploitation. When Shi Kefa learned of this situation, he ordered the elimination of riding horses that were originally borne by the people, and the government hired people to take care of them, thus lifting a long-term scourge of the local people. American officials in Shi Kefa, they are corrupt, extortionate, harass people, and always get paid in hell, heartless. Once, one of his subordinates, a soldier named Su, shot and killed an old woman in Shandong for a trivial matter. Shi Kefa immediately sentenced the criminal soldier to death. A group of Soviet and American accomplices secretly colluded with 100 people and made a big scene in the army. In the middle of the night, a group of mutinous soldiers set fire to many places in the city, trying to create chaos and stabbed Shi Kefa to death. Shi Kefa is reviewing official documents. When he heard the report of the fire, he didn't panic. After a while, a group of mutinous soldiers rushed to Shi Kefa's mansion. When they came to the door, by candlelight, they saw Shi Kefa sitting in the classroom with a sword in his hand. The mutinous soldiers are not tolerated by Shi Kefa, and no one dares to do it. Finally dispersed in a hubbub. After dawn, Shi Kefa quickly mobilized troops to suppress the mutiny, put out the fire and punish the ringleaders who launched the mutiny. After the incident, Shi Kefa sent someone to investigate the families who were killed by the fire. Every time the house is burned, five taels of silver will be given to compensate the losses of the people. His love for the people, like his son, touched many people. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, political corruption, numerous taxes, unbearable burden on the people, rebelled in succession. The peasant rebels led by them captured Beijing, and Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself in Jingshan. Wu Sangui, a general of the Ming Dynasty, joined forces with the Qing army to attack Li Zicheng and drive Li Zicheng out of Beijing. From then on, the Qing army went all the way south, ready to unify the whole country. Zhu Yousong, the grandson of Zong, with the support of some ministers of Ming Dynasty, established a small court in Nanjing, which was called Nanming in history. Shi Kefa, the axe king, was sent to organize troops to resist the Qing army. After Shi Kefa came to Yangzhou, he managed to stabilize the social order in Jiangbei, and sent his men to set up Lixian Pavilion and Lixian Pavilion.

At that time, people in the north and south of the great river saw Shi Kefa leading the anti-enemy work, and in their heavy hearts, they gave birth to a ray of hope. They all enthusiastically supported Shi Kefa in leading the struggle against the enemy. Some peasant uprising teams are also willing to work with Qi Xin to fight against the Qing Dynasty. Pei County's capital sent a letter to Shi Kefa, asking him to invade Xuzhou and recover the lost land, and expressed his willingness to take the responsibility of contacting the peasant army in Shandong Yuyuan Garden. Liu Cheng of Guichi also wrote to Shi Kefa, proposing a plan to recover lost territory. It can be seen that the enthusiasm of the broad masses of the people against the Qing army at that time was extremely high. If the Nanjing government can seize the opportunity and make a decision that conforms to the people's wishes, the overall situation is still very promising. And those in power, such as the axe king of Nanming, Ma Shiying, etc., only covet immediate pleasure and indulge in debauchery. The rulers of the imperial court are so fatuous and contemptible. Although people like Shi Kefa resolutely resisted the Qing Dynasty at the front, everything was restrained by the imperial court and could not be strongly confronted. Finally, Wang Ting Axe will collapse! During his time as an inspector in Shi Kefa, he lived very frugally, and he didn't pay attention to ostentation and extravagance without me. He restricted himself to eating only one dish per meal. Later, because there was no salary in front, meat dishes were exempted and vegetarian dishes were often eaten. When there is a military emergency, he stands guard day and night, and even wears armor when he lies down to sleep in case the enemy suddenly attacks. He and the soldiers. Soldiers don't eat, never eat first; Soldiers don't wear clothes and never add another one first. Even in hot summer, he doesn't have a fan in his hand; Don't wear a fur coat except in cold winter. Then he was so strict with himself and encouraged everyone. On New Year's Eve this year, the soldiers took turns to rest. As before, Shi Kefa nervously reviewed the official documents sent from all directions. It was late at night and he felt a little sleepy. He wants to have a drink to refresh himself and then go on working. When he raised his glass, he suddenly thought of the scholars in Lixiantang. He wanted to invite them to have a drink together, but it was midnight, and I was afraid of disturbing their sleep, so he told Tang, the police officer on duty, not to disturb them, so let's have a drink for everyone! The officer on duty promised to go. So Shi Kefa picked up the glass and poured it. He wanted to ask the kitchen for something to drink. The chef reported that all the food and meat were given to the soldiers during the day. Shi Kefa had some lobster sauce brought for wine. Shi Kefa usually drinks well. He doesn't drink a few bowls of wine, and I won't get drunk. Ever since I came to the front, I have been worried that this will delay the military situation. He has given up drinking. It was New Year's Eve, so I made an exception. At that time, when he thought about the present situation and future of resisting the enemy, he was filled with emotion, and I couldn't help crying. Tired for a few days, and a little drunk, I fell asleep at my desk. At dawn in the east, civil and military officials came to the camp gate one after another, waiting to pay the bill, but the camp gate was not opened yet. When everyone was talking about it, Ren Yumin, the magistrate of Yangzhou, explained that "xianggong" seldom had a rest like tonight. Give him a break! Tell the night watchman to play the four-watch drum again. At this time, the east has been radiant with white light like a fish belly.
