Zhu Cicheng undoubtedly implicated a large number of people in this reform, except for those who were killed on the spot for resisting, more than 100,000 people were captured. What to do with these hundreds of thousands of people is a difficult problem.

"Your Majesty, for those who rebel, should they be cut down according to the law and killed!" The money of the Publicity Division is not money carefully proposed.

Li Yan frowned, but did not say anything against it.

"Li Yan, what do you think?" Zhu Ciji did not immediately express his position, but looked at Li Yan.

Li Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this move is a little inappropriate. ”

"Why?" Zhu Ci continued to ask.

"Back to the emperor, according to the law, the rebels should be connected to the nine clans, but this time they captured more than 100,000 people, nearly 10,000 families, if they are implicated in order to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, I am afraid it is too extensive and cannot be done." Li Yan said.

"Then you mean to kill only those who are captured, do you?" Zhu Ci continued to ask.

Li Yan shook his head: "No, Your Majesty, even if you capture the people, you shouldn't kill them all, after all, it's more than 100,000 people, if you kill them all, it will inevitably be a river of blood, and it will hurt Tianhe. ”

Li Yan has his own ideas, and in the face of hundreds of thousands of lives, he can't help but feel a little unbearable.

Qian Buqian wanted to jump out as soon as he heard Li Yan's words, but when he first secretly glanced at Zhu Ci's face, even Zhu Ci's face was expressionless, and he was relieved to say what he thought in his heart, and objected: "Li Shangshu, according to what you say, if you rebel, you won't kill if you rebel, how can the law of the Ming Dynasty be maintained, and if everyone follows suit in the future, what should we do!" ”

Speaking of this, Qian Bushi turned to Zhu Ci and arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, according to the ministers, even if the Nine Clans are not implicated, all those who participated in the rebellion should be beheaded all over the house to deter others!" ”

Speaking of the legal system of the Ming Dynasty, Li Yan was not easy to speak for a while, after all, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, the rebellion is to connect the nine clans, even if it is not enough to connect the nine clans, the lightest should be copied and beheaded, all dynasties and dynasties are like this, even if the current number of people is a little more, but it also depends on the emperor's mind to decide.

"The minister's suggestion has been spoken, please ask the emperor to make a judgment!" Li Yan said to Zhu Ci.

This kind of thing is ultimately decided by the emperor Zhu Cijiao, and even Zhu Cijiao can only deal with such a major matter after consulting with the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

The reason why Li Yan and Qian Buqian were asked to say their thoughts first in advance, Zhu Ciqian just wanted to make a reference first, he still had to think about how to deal with it, and he would not really express his position until tomorrow morning, after all, the stakes were very high, and the lives of hundreds of thousands of people could not be hasty.

In order to best deal with the aftermath, Zhu Ci thought about it for a night.

The morning of the day.

As Zhu Cicheng expected, the opinions of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military were very different from those of Li Yan and Qian Bu.

Some people strongly said that they would follow the law to connect the nine clans, and some people, like Li Yan, couldn't bear it, and only suggested that the first offender be killed, and most of the last ones were slightly neutral, but they also asked for the whole door to be beheaded, which meant that all the more than 100,000 people captured had to be killed.

After all, this is related to the stability of a dynasty, if it cannot form a strong deterrent to people with rebellious intentions, how to avoid more people from participating in the rebellion in the future.

Zhu Ci hesitated for a night and had already made his own decision.

"I know all Aiqing's suggestions, I have made a decision to only kill the head of the thief and adult men over the age of ten, and the rest will be exiled!"

Originally, Zhu Ci was only inclined to kill the thief head, but thinking that it was only the general scholars and clans who jumped out to rebel this time, and the interests of the other half of the scholars and clans were also damaged, many people were a little ready to act even if they had not participated in the rebellion, and they were a little ready to move, to deter these people, it was not enough to kill the thief leader, and the people of the world would not be convinced, after all, it was about rebellion, almost the most serious crime, only killing the thief leader and men over ten years old, that is, it was not very good, and it was not too much, Zhu Ci felt that it was just right.

The ministers discussed in a whisper below, except for a few who still insisted on beheading all over the house, most of them agreed with Zhu Ci's disposition.

Immediately, after the next court, Zhu Ci immediately issued a holy decree.

In order to achieve a better deterrent effect, although Zhu Cicheng would not implicate more people, he did not dispose of everyone together at one time, but separated them and dealt with one province at a time.

Daming Daily followed up with the report, how many people were disposed of every day, and who was killed was all published in the newspaper, although Zhu Ciji only ordered to kill men over the age of ten in each household, but the number of people was too many after all, and hundreds of people were killed every day, and it took a month to dispose of all of them.

The next step was exile, and the location of the exile was chosen according to the degree of participation in the rebellion, which was also processed for more than a month.

For two consecutive months, Daming Daily was either killed or exiled, rolling bloody, even ordinary people who did not have any idea of rebellion saw their scalps tingling, and the remaining Shi clans and clans trembled when they walked, and they were extremely glad that they did not participate in the rebellion and escaped.

The rest of the clans and clans have to be afraid, although they did not participate, but they also knew that the anti-armies of all walks of life in the world combined were more than one million, but they were extinguished in just over a month, most of which were due to the Ying Long Army, and the Ying Long Army was undoubtedly more prestigious.

With the strong deterrence of the Ying Long Army, I believe that the remaining scholar clans and other clans will not dare to rebel, and the Ming Dynasty has regained stability.

"Drive!" Hundreds of fast horses galloped to various places, carrying Zhu Ci's holy decrees and decrees.

With the fall of the rebel army, no one dared to question Zhu Cijiao's holy decree.

From today on, Daming will enter an era of restricting land annexation and limiting land lease prices.

Landless people no longer have to worry about their land being cherished by powerful landlords, ordinary tenant people without land no longer have to have more grain left every year for the heavy taxes paid to the landlords, and the hundreds of acres of land cultivated day and night with blood and tears are still not enough to feed the family, and they need to sell their children and daughters in a disaster year.
