Nanchang Mansion in Jiangxi Province is a prosperous place in the world, when Ning Chu captured Nanchang, there was no large-scale war, so the damage to Nanchang City was very small, but at the same time, the gentry in the city did not see the Tianwei of Ning Chu's Han army, but it was a little less respectful.

Because of this, in this Shilin petition incident, almost all the major gentry families in Jiangxi were also involved, such as the Cheng family, the Dong family, the Chen family and other major families, almost all sent their children to Nanjing to petition, they were full of thought that the emperor would completely stop the new policy because of Shilin's petition.

But in fact, since the eighth day of the fifth lunar month, the entire Nanchang City has begun to be closed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave, and batches of troops stationed abroad for combat training have also entered the city.

The original governor of Jiangxi, Zhu Dayuan, chose to be a thorough official after the establishment of the country in Ningchu, and in essence, Qingfengzhi, the political envoy of Jiangxi Province who ruled Jiangxi Province, was placed under house arrest with the shadow of a secret decree because of his close relationship with the Jiangxi gentry, and was ready to be sent directly to Nanjing to wait for his arrival.

At present, the person who temporarily replaced Qingfeng's post as political envoy was Xue Haifeng, the envoy sent from Nanjing, who was originally a talent promoted by Ning Yu from the Fu Han army, and planned political affairs in the eastward governor's mansion that year, and now he has become a local magistrate in charge of Niu'er in a province.

Xue Haifeng and Gao Hongyun, the person in charge of the shadow in Jiangxi, had already planned for a long time, after all, Jiangxi is not the same as other provinces, and the gentry here are so powerful that the two of them know more or less in their hearts, so they are very secretive before acting, and they waited until the secret decree arrived before Qingfengzhi was directly put under house arrest.

After Qingfengzhi was placed under house arrest, Xue Haifeng hurriedly sent people to obtain a secret order, informed the military stationed in Jiangxi Li Shihu's headquarters, secretly sent a regiment to the vicinity of Nanchang, and then stationed in Nanchang on the eighth day of May.

Xue Haifeng was thoughtful, knowing that there were likely to be henchmen of the local gentry among the soldiers of the city defense regiment, in order to prevent these gentry from taking risks, he sent someone to temporarily transfer the city defense regiment out of Nanchang and go to the field for relevant training, and this matter did not arouse the suspicion of the gentry, they only thought that this was a normal training.

However, on the ninth day of the fifth month, after Li Shihu's regiment really entered Nanchang City, the gentry who got the news soon became ants on a pot of hot oil, such as the Cheng family, the Dong family, the Chen family and other major families, all sent people to find the political envoy Qingfengzhi to inquire about the reason, but they did not expect that these people had just arrived at the political envoy's yamen, and they were all detained.

Xue Haifeng saw that the gentry were suspicious, and he understood that he could not delay any longer, so he immediately notified Gao Hongyun and went to the headquarters of Li Shihu of the Fu Han Army who entered the city with a secret arrest list, preparing to carry out an open arrest.

Since the end of the battle between the two countries, Li Shihu did not continue to go south to lead the troops, but returned to Jiangxi to take charge of the newly established 19th Division, as the commander of the 19th Division, and was stationed near Nanchang, so this time as the main force to assist Xue Haifeng, a full regiment of 2,000 people was sent over.

He Jian, the commander of the regiment, was standing in front of the formation at this time, and Gao Hongyun was standing beside him, looking at the mighty and majestic army in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh: "I used to come out of the Fu Han Army, the old first division, and later joined the shadow, I have long heard of the name of Division Commander Li, and I heard that the soldiers led by Division Commander Li are all top, and today I saw that it was really worthy of the name." ”

He Jian was more restrained, he smiled modestly, and said softly: "Leading troops to fight, you have to look at the actual battle to be clear." ”

"There will be a real battle right now, those gentry are not so simple, they should have birds in their hands, we have to be careful to prevent the dog from jumping off the wall. After all, it's not a life-and-death battle, we all have to do well. ”

Gao Hongyun talked eloquently, and seemed to be extremely familiar with these.

He Jian was a little curious, and said softly: "I remember that I had dealt with your shadows before, and in my memory, shouldn't you all be extremely taciturn characters?" ”

Gao Hongyun laughed, "You are the second person to ask me that, guess who the first person is?" ”

He Jian thought for a moment, "Could it be Lord Xue?" ”

"That's right, in fact, the reason is very simple, there are very few people in the shadow who have really been silent, like those of us who need to obtain information, good communication is a very precious quality, because in this way we can get more information from the conversation, as for myself, every word I say has been thought about at least three times."

Gao Hongyun had a little smug on his face, and it seemed that his willingness to communicate was his real background.

Half an hour later, a scribe in Tsing Yi rode a horse and arrived at a temporary garrison outside the city, and then came to meet Gao Hongyun and He Jian.

"Lord Qiyu, Lord Xue sent his subordinates to inform him that the patriarchs of the gentry and clans in the city are basically controlled in the Buzheng Yamen, and I also ask your Excellency to hurry up and conduct a comprehensive search."

"Well, you go back and tell Lord Xue that we are ready to complete the task."

Gao Hongyun took out a note from his arms and said with a smile: "Then please ask Head He to lie down hard." ”

He Jian took the note, glanced at it briefly, and said softly, "Lord Gao is polite." It's just that the last general thinks that this time is His Majesty's own order, but he can't let one go, and the last general will send someone to block the four gates, and please know. ”

"This is as it should be, and on military issues, Commander He can decide for himself."

After getting these words, He Jian turned his head to look at the soldiers, looked around at the crowd, and said in a loud voice: "In the name of Your Majesty, arresting the rebels involved in the case, in this process, you must not show favoritism at all, understand?" ”

"Yes, long live Your Majesty!"

"Let's go!"

Soon, with the help of Gao Hongyun and Shadow, a group of soldiers of the Fu Han Army with bayonets in their hands began to move towards the place where the big clans in the city lived, and the red flags of the Fu Han Army fluttered over the city of Nanchang, and more and more people began to understand that great changes had occurred in Nanchang.

In this process, the gentry are only gentry after all, and they don't have much force in their hands, so most of the gentry are still very honest, and under the care of the Fu Han army, they were escorted to the barracks outside the city, and this is also what Xue Haifeng himself meant, after all, the relationship in the city is complicated, and it is a troublesome thing if something goes wrong.

Of course, there are also a small number of gentry and clans, thinking that the Fu Han army has begun an all-round purge, and began to carry out armed resistance in panic.

"Bang-bang-"

With a series of gunshots, several family members fell down from the courtyard wall, with several blood holes on their bodies, and the blood was slowly flowing out, but Cheng Wanying, who was watching the battle in the courtyard, was taken aback.

As the head of the Cheng family in Jiangxi, Cheng Wanying regretted it extremely much at this time, he regretted that he should not have sent someone to Nanjing to petition, let alone send someone to contact other gentry, so that now he is being targeted, but the family has suffered a great disaster.

The Cheng family in Jiangxi is also a well-known local wealthy family, although they have nothing to do with the popular Cheng family in Ningchu, but they are also regarded as a local overlord in Jiangxi, with tens of thousands of acres of land under the clan, and a very strong family background, which is also the key target of Ning Chu this time.

"Give me a good fight! Kill a soldier of the Fu Han Army, my lord, I will reward ten taels of silver! ”

Cheng Wanying's face flashed with a hint of ferocity, when the political envoy Yamen invited him to discuss, he felt that something was wrong, out of caution, he did not go to the party, and the result was only less than half an hour later, the soldiers of the Fu Han Army surrounded the huge courtyard of Cheng's house.

However, just when Cheng Wanying roared, he saw that a few black things were thrown into the courtyard, and there was smoke, and he immediately lost his soul - Cheng Wanying knew the grenade, and he also knew how powerful that thing was, so he hurriedly started to run towards the backyard, but with a rumbling sound, Cheng Wanying was suddenly blown unconscious.

Then Cheng Mansion was knocked away by the Fu Han Army, and a captain officer of the Fu Han Army wearing a red military uniform walked in quickly, he glanced around at the trembling family members kneeling on the ground, and then looked at the unconscious Cheng Wanying, with a sarcastic smile on his face.

"Dare to make a mess with this cowardice? Arrest me, block the Cheng family, and no one is allowed to go out! ”

.........

Not only the Cheng family, not only the Nanchang Mansion, in fact, in this imperial examination petition, the gentry involved are not only very numerous, but also very extensive, so the garrison troops in the southern provinces have begun to move, and tens of thousands of soldiers of the Fu Han Army are almost fighting a counterinsurgency war that has not yet begun.

In this process, most of the gentry families did not dare to resist, only a small number of people chose to rebel, but the difference in strength between the two sides was too large, so there was no suspense in this war, and grenades and bayonets almost solved all the problems that could be solved by force.

Of course, there are also some gentry who choose to use money to bribe the officers and soldiers of the Han Army, but every time they are on a mission, there will be shadow people on the side to assist, so they can't get their wish.

What's more, due to the comprehensive and rich system guarantee, the current Fu Han army has begun to break away from the shadow of the old army, like those that will be committed in the old army, almost will not appear in the Fu Han army on a large scale, just like the current Fu Han army soldiers, their treatment is almost so good that people are jealous.

After the founding of the country, the current soldiers of the Fu Han Army have also improved a lot in terms of treatment, and the original military merit field system is still maintained, and in addition, each person will also be given two silver dollars per month, as well as a fixed amount of meat supply every month, in order to ensure daily high-intensity training.

For the low-level soldiers of the Fu Han Army, their choice to enlist in the army itself is to choose a life-changing path, the emperor gave them food, clothes to wear, and the opportunity to be an official knight, and these only need two points, one is courage on the battlefield, and the other is loyalty to the emperor.

In this case, no one will give up their bright future for the sake of a small profit in front of them, let alone the temptation of those anti-thieves, in the eyes of the soldiers, anyone who opposes the emperor in the world is a damned fate.

Just when there was chaos in Nanchang Mansion, Jiangxi Buzheng Yamen became the only secluded place that was not disturbed at the moment.

Xue Haifeng, the current temporary political envoy, is far away from Qingfeng, the former political envoy under house arrest, both of whom have teacups and other things in front of them, and the teapot is soaked in the best Wuyuan Tun green, the fragrance is elegant and pleasant, and the color is green and transparent.

Qing Fengzhi couldn't help but sigh when he heard the bursts of gunfire outside, and looked at Xue Haifeng with a little resentment in his eyes, "Lord Xue, is this trying to make every family wear linen and filial piety?" This behavior is comparable to that of Zhou Lai..... How will Lord Xue face the world in the future? ”

The so-called Zhou Lai refers to Zhou Xing and Lai Junchen in the Wu Zetian period of the Tang Dynasty, both of whom were cool officials who left a name in history, and were good at arbitrarily fabricating crimes to cause death.

Xue Haifeng smiled coldly, "Lord Mo Feiqing is pretending to be confused with this official here?" Don't you know who will be unlucky this time? As for whether the officials are from Zhoulai, then we have to see if they are loyal and righteous. ”

Qingfengzhi's face became more and more difficult to look at, of course he knew what Xue Haifeng meant, "Lord Xue, Your Majesty was deceived by someone, and then issued a chaotic government, since you are a courtier, why don't you advise Your Majesty, but instead wantonly slaughter good people, how can it be so reasonable?" ”

"Lord Kei, what is a good citizen?"

The smile on Xue Haifeng's face completely disappeared, "Disobeying the imperial decree and disobeying His Majesty's decree, is this a good citizen?" As a local tyrant, take the lead in opposing the imperial court, is this a good citizen? Privately storing gunpowder weapons and attacking imperial soldiers, is this still a good citizen? ”

"Qingfengzhi, what do you people think, you people's faces, this official is really too clear, since ancient times, the world has been bad in the hands of you people!"

Qing Fengzhi was completely calmed by Xue Haifeng's series of reprimands, he lowered his head slightly, but the white hair on his head became more and more dazzling, maybe from the time he took refuge in Ning Chu, these people should have been so prepared.

Xue Haifeng no longer paid attention to Qingfengzhi who was like a dead dog, the fate of the other party was already doomed, and it was not worth him to think about it in the slightest, and he was more relieved about the arrest in Nanchang City, after all, with the help of the shadow and the training army, the gentry and the gentry could not escape.

What really worries Xue Haifeng the most is always the situation in Nanchang, because no matter how other provinces develop, it ultimately depends on the meaning of Nanchang, and these changes will also deeply change the current situation.
