After quickly pacifying the eight guards of Fengyang and worshipping the imperial tomb, Zhu Youzhen moved to the imperial city of Zhongdu, and then issued a decree to cancel the eight guards of Fengyang, appointed Gao Jie as the chief soldier of Fengyang, and led his troops to enter Fengyang.

Zhu Youzhen rewarded the soldiers again, Li Dakai led the army to leave Fengyang and return to Zhejiang, and more than 4,000 officials in Fengyang were beheaded together with the gentry after reporting to each other.

Three of the counties ordered nine state officials to be stripped of their skins as an example, the commanders of the six guards were executed by Ling Chi, and all the military households who did not participate in the unrest were pardoned and acquitted, but their military status was revoked and they became peasants.

Li Yang, the prefect of Bozhou, Xu Xin, the commander of Dingyuan County, and Wang Mao, the prefect of Suzhou, were injured because they refused to join the corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the land inventory, and were rewarded by Zhu Youzhen.

According to the current situation in Fengyang, Zhu Youzhen decided to redivide the responsibilities of officials in Fengyang's prefectures and counties, and after the completion of Fengyang's land reform, the cabinet will issue appointments.

Xu Xin of Dingyuan County was promoted to the chief county magistrate of the five counties and promoted to the fourth grade, and he still stayed in Dingyuan to supervise the five counties, and the officials of the five counties under his jurisdiction were personally selected and appointed by him, but they must be honest people.

Wang Maoguan, the prefect of Suzhou, was promoted to the rank of Sanpin, supervising the jurisdiction of six prefectures, and the officials under his jurisdiction were also selected and appointed by him.

Li Yang, the prefect of Bozhou, was promoted to the second rank, supervised and managed seven prefectures, and at the same time was promoted to the prefect of Fengyang to command the entire five counties and thirteen prefectures of Fengyang.

Zhu Dadian still served as the governor of Fengyang and the governor of Caoyun, and led the state and county officials to immediately carry out land clarification and reform.

After pacifying the eight guards, Zhu Youzhen was ready to return to Beijing, there were still many things waiting for him, and now Daming was far from the time when he could rest.

Before leaving, Zhu Youzhen summoned Wang Mao, Li Yang, Xu Xin, and Zhu Dadian.

Wang Mao, Li Yang, and Xu Xin, in Zhu Youzhen's trip to Fengyang, can be regarded as a big discovery, who said that the Ming officials are rotten to the roots.

Although the three of them are not two-sleeved, none of them can exceed 100,000 taels of family property, which is already considered an alternative at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Dadian is completely guilty of meritorious service, he is already very satisfied with being able to maintain his current position, those corrupt officials were Ling Chi and stripped of their skins, Zhu Dadian has witnessed it with his own eyes.

Seeing Zhu Youzhen, the four of them hurriedly bowed and met:

"Weichen Zhu Dadian, Wang Mao, Xu Xin, Li Yang, see Your Majesty."

Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly:

"No Respect"

"Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live!"

After the four of them thanked them, they stood aside with their hands down, waiting for the emperor's lecture.

Zhu Youzhen picked up a list and handed it to Zhu Dadian casually:

"Zhu Aiqing, the people of Fengyang can't eat enough, they all live like homeless people, do you know how much gold and silver were confiscated from the homes of corrupt officials this time? Take a good look! ”

Zhu Dadian hurriedly took the list, looked at it carefully over and over again, his face became more and more ugly, and then he fell to the ground with weak knees.

"It's all the criminals who are incompetent, and they can't control them well, please punish Your Majesty."

"Zhu Dadian, the past has become history, I want to see your future performance, I hope you don't disobey the yang and the yin, show them too, and be even!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After Zhu Dadian got up, he passed the list in his hand to Li Yang, and after Li Yang read it, he passed it to the other two, and everyone was full of disbelief after seeing the list.

And there were twenty million taels of silver and three million taels of gold on the list.

I have to say that the little Fengyang official gentry is absolutely rich and rivals the country, and when the Ming Dynasty paid taxes to the treasury last year, it was only more than four million taels of silver.

Seeing the faces of the four people trembling, Zhu Youzhen said again:

"This does not include the rewards I gave to the soldiers, if you count the hundreds of thousands of taels more, now I clearly tell you, when employing people, you must pay attention to their character, no matter who in the future, as long as they embezzle more than 100 taels of silver, I will never give up!"

When Zhu Youzhen spoke, his face was cold, his eyes were full of murderous aura, the air in the entire hall began to solidify, and the temperature dropped suddenly.

The four of them suddenly trembled, and hurriedly bowed down again:

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Weichen will never be corrupt and bend the law, and resolutely and wholeheartedly do things for the people of Fengyang, and share worries for Your Majesty and Daming."

"Your Majesty, this is the stolen money handed over by Weichen, please take a look at it."

After the four of them got up, they each took out a silver ticket from their sleeves and handed it to Zhu Youzhen.

A Qing stepped forward to take the silver ticket and handed it to Zhu Youzhen, Zhu Dadian handed over three million taels of silver, and Wang Mao, Li Yang, and Xu Xin each had a silver ticket of 30,000 taels.

Zhu Youzhen looked at the silver ticket and asked:

"Zhu Dadian handed over so much, is there any surplus at home?"

Zhu Dadian hurriedly replied:

"Yes, there are more than 100,000 taels at home, if Your Majesty is too little, Weichen will bring all of them."

Zhu Youzhen nodded:

"No, just change it if you know it, I'm very pleased, these three million taels of silver are all used for disaster relief in Fengyang, and another two million taels are allocated to you for farmland and water conservancy transformation, I don't want to see displaced people in Fengyang."

"Weichen represents the people of Fengyang, thank Your Majesty for your grace."

The four of them knelt on the ground at the same time to thank him, and Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly:

"Aiqing is exempt from courtesy, and these three silver tickets will be returned to you, even if it is a reward for your performance this time, take it back!"

Zhu Youzhen said, handed the other three silver tickets of 30,000 taels to the three of them, Li Yang, where did they dare to take it, hurriedly waved their hands, and just wanted to speak, Zhu Youzhen's eyes glared:

"Do you want to resist the decree? You must take what I give you, and you cannot take a penny from the people, and I hope you will all remember what I said. ”

"Thank you, Emperor Xie, Weichen will never live up to the ...... of the Holy Grace"

The three state and county officials fell to their knees again, and by the time they looked up, they were all in tears.

These three men were iron-clad men, and they didn't frown in the face of the rebels' swords and guns, but in the face of such a holy monarch, they could no longer control the emotion and excitement in their hearts......

Meng Yuan

The depths of the desert are too far away from the pass, and if the garrison guards it, it is simply unrealistic now, in order to prevent the remnants of the Tartars from rising again.

Yue Fei ordered all useful items to be taken away, as well as cattle, sheep, horses, and Tartars, women and children, and then ordered a team of men and horses to set fire everywhere, turning the steppe into a large sea of fire, and everything that had life would be buried in the fire.

After receiving Yue Fei to eliminate the Mengyuan troops, Sun Chuanting quickly sent troops to the original Jianzhou and Haixi, and almost all the main forces and capable soldiers of the Eastern Captivity were in Shengjing and other places, and the Ming army did not encounter any resistance.

He successively attacked Nikan City, Tulun City, Deck City, and Zhaojia City, and swept through various cities and pastures in the Eastern Captivity, similar to Yue Fei's treatment of Meng Yuan, completely destroying all bases in the rear of the Eastern Captivity.

Later, they launched an attack on Foala, Barda City, Dongcheng, and the original Wanyan station, all the way like a bamboo, only encountered sporadic resistance, and only left a piece of chicken feathers where the army passed.

In order to join Shengjing as soon as possible, Sun Chuanting's army bloodied all the tribes of Changbai Mountain, marched to Hetuala, and did not hesitate to sweep the capital of the Eastern Capture Plains, and finally crossed the Ussuri River and advanced to Shengjing.

September 15, 1644

The Protector Army led by Sun Chuanting and the Longteng Army led by Yue Fei finally joined forces with the Qi family army under Shengjing City.

And the Shengjing City has become a pot of porridge, whether it is the Eastern Tartars or those clothed slaves, they all feel that death is coming.
