With Yang Xin's evil laughter, the noble officials in Nanjing ushered in the darkest days......

It's not just the courtiers.

In fact, it is not that only those who have a knighthood can be regarded as a noble, the knight is only the highest rank, but there are a lot of hereditary official positions under the knight, and the Nanjing Jinyi system alone is a bunch of this. Similarly, the Xu family is not just Xu Hongji's family, in fact, the Xu family has multiplied until now, and it is already a huge family, and each branch of these families has a more or less hereditary official position.

Hereditary Commander.

Hereditary knowledge.

……

All the way to the hereditary thousands of households.

All of them are tumors parasitic on military households.

Once their ancestors were indeed the founding fathers of the Ming Dynasty, following Zhu Yuanzhang to sweep the world and create thousands of miles for the Zhu family, but now they are just a group of useless tumors and parasites, who can neither contribute to the country, nor can they be truly loyal to the country. In fact, there are really few, and when the aliens captured the city twenty years later, they also did not meet any resistance, but when the armies of Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Mingzhen tried to recover it, they were met with resistance and ultimately failed.

The people who controlled the city at that time were basically a group of people who controlled it at this time.

So it needs to be cleaned.

It is necessary to clean up all these things that have become garbage, so that the city can be reborn, and then let it also become the starting point of the country's rebirth just like when it supported Zhu Yuanzhang to dominate the world more than 200 years ago.

If you want to sweep it, sweep it thoroughly.

After quickly completing the raid on Xu Hongji and other eighteen nobles, Yang Dudu immediately ordered a major report to be launched, asking those military households to report the crimes of the worldly officers.

And of course those guards and military households will not worry about anything at this time, after all, even Wei Guogong was killed by Yang Xin, Yang Dudu is determined to play to the end, so what are you waiting for, just start a new carnival! Immediately after that, the military families flocked to the instructors who were responsible for receiving the reports, one after another, reporting the crimes of the hereditary generals of the various guards, and the instructors did not hesitate to lead them to arrest these people, and then send them to Yang Dudu for disposal.

So Yang Xin's big stick was raised again......

Saying that the butcher knife is excessive.

In addition to the heinous crimes, Yang Xin rarely actually kills, but if they are guilty, they must be punished, so they can sacrifice their land and property to atone for their sins......

Forget about the property.

Yang Dudu, who copied the eighteen nobles, is now very fat, and he can no longer look down on these second-class ones, and the property of these people and the eighteen nobles is not of the same order of magnitude, you must know that Xu Hongji's family alone copied out nearly two million gold and silver. And the sum of the eighteen nobles in Nanjing has already exceeded the terrifying number of 10 million, and I have to say that this is the real family.

The real rich are rivaling the country.

After all, they are different from those gentry, and the gentry cannot be high-ranking officials in every generation, but these people have been for generations.

For generations, they have had military power, they have privileges for generations, and it is easier for them to sell smuggled salt than private smugglers, because they already have tens of thousands of troops in their hands.

It's too easy to sell smuggled salt.

More than two hundred years is enough time for them to accumulate a jaw-dropping wealth, and this is not counting other things, plus those jewels, all kinds of goods, and even their food, the current situation is estimated to be more than 20 million conservative in this wave. However, it is still not ideal, you must know that Lao Li is said to have 70 million taels in the capital, and most of them are hereditary nobles in the capital, and they are all gold and silver. Although the number of nobles in Nanjing is small, the more than 10 million gold and silver are still a little small, so there must be some hidden in the ground that have not been dug up.

But that's enough.

With this wealth, which almost doubled the savings of Shoucheng Qianzhuang, Yang Dudu was well qualified to show his generosity......

But only in silver.

There is no room for tolerance in the fields and food, and all the land properties of the worldly officers must be handed over, and at most according to the population of their families, they will be divided into a piece of the same as ordinary military households, after all, they must also be given rations for food, and these people are not quite the same as those eighteen nobles. And Yang Xin's evil deeds were still not resisted, and those hereditary officers endured silently as they did when they faced Jiannu in history, and they were honestly poisoned by him just like when they were forced to shave their hair and change clothes.

I have to say that after killing someone, it's different.

It really works with a butcher's knife in your hand.

Especially when the butcher's knife is still dripping blood.

The dead bodies of Xu Hongji and others made these officers give up all illusions, they no longer had any luck, they knew that resistance was death, and even Yang Dudu, who killed Xu Hongji, would not care about kicking them off the city wall again. Those who bravely resisted Yang Dudu in the past actually knew that he didn't like to kill, raid his house, and exile, which is what Yang Xin liked, but he really didn't love killing, even if Zheng Zheng was thrown to dig up guano, he still lived well on the island.

But now it's different, Yang Xin really started to kill, then you need to consider the consequences of resistance, I have to say that our Daqing set just works.

In this way, after the honorable is finished, the remaining hereditary generals are also finished.

However......

Yang Xin's evil deeds continued to expand.

Xungui was poisoned by him, the hereditary officers were poisoned by him, and the remaining genuine gentry were of course not spared, they were the real old friends of Yang Dudu, and such a thing would not forget them.

Gu Mansion in Shangyuan County.

"Yang Xin, you anti-thief!"

Gu Qiyuan roared.

"Don't slander my reputation, Yang's loyalty can show the sun and the moon, Taichu Gong, don't think that you can talk nonsense when you're old, even if you're old, I can sue you for slander!"

Yang Xinyi said rhetorically.

"What is the old man's crime, you have not copied the family's property?"

Gu Qiyuan said angrily.

"This?"

Yang Xin was short of words for a while.

"I can copy it if I want to, why not!"

Then he said angrily.

Gu Qiyuan was speechless, looking at him dumbfounded, obviously a little uncomfortable with Yang Dudu's face for a while.

Then Yang Xin suddenly laughed.

"Taichu Gong, isn't it a surprise?

In fact, you all know that I am a reasonable and rule-abiding person, so you dare to fight with me, you know that even if I raid my house, I must find a crime that conforms to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and I will not even be reckless in human life. You know that I follow the rules, and as long as you fight me in the rules, you don't have to worry about anything, so you think that I must be guilty of confiscating your property.

I can't copy it without a crime.

However, you never thought that I would stop following the rules.

In the past, you were all used to sitting at the same table with me and playing chess, using the game to determine whether you won or lost, and you thought that you were very good at chess and could play against me, and in fact it was true, although you always lost, but at least you didn't lose badly, and you felt that you were capable of fighting with me.

But.

I'm going to flip the table?

So how are you going to play with me? I'm not playing with you anymore, I just flipped the table, so how can you still play with me?

If I don't follow the rules, how are you going to fight me?

You asked me on what charge I had confiscated your Gu family's property, I really haven't it for the time being, although I will definitely have it if I really look for it, but I am not interested in bothering to find it, let alone interrogating and determining the crime. I can copy it if I want, I will do it if I want to, I want to confiscate your property, and then divide it among the tenants to form a militia, then I will do it directly.

Accusation?

What charges are required?

I don't talk about the rules anymore? Do I still need to do things according to the rules? ”

He said.

Gu Qiyuan looked at him with his mouth open, as if he knew this face for the first time, but then he sighed weakly, and the whole person shrank like a popping balloon, and his face suddenly aged a lot. Then he turned and waved his hands to his nephews, telling them to stop struggling in vain.

"Ying Guogong, please!"

He said gloomily.

"Taichu Gong, in fact, you know very well that I am already very merciful, at least I only want the land, and I don't want your property or your life, and at this moment I am killing your whole family and getting your granddaughter back as a concubine, and you have no ability to resist. So accepting the reality is your only choice, I really don't like to kill people, after all, they are all of the same Chinese lineage, and they are not of a different race, there is no need to kill unless you have to, but if you have to kill then I will not be soft.

You'd better advise those of your friends.

Accept your fate!

That day has changed.

This land is no longer your master. ”

Yang Xin said.

At this time, his soldiers had already carried out boxes of land deeds, and the children and nephews of the Gu family were watching there with grief and indignation, but in the face of the muskets in the hands of the soldiers, they could only watch, after all, this thing would really nail them to the ground.

"Ying Guogong, you haven't won yet."

Gu Qiyuan said calmly.

"Ha, then you'd better pray to God and worship Buddha and pray that Zhang Mingzhen can win against me, but look at these high-morale military households outside, do you think the final victor is you? You can't win, because behind me are the people, not the people as you say, and you keep talking about the people, and you keep saying that they are the people, but do you really know what the people are? Your people are but gentry, and your gaze is too high to see the people below, but my people are them, these mobs that you call the people, so how many people are there in your people, and how many are they?

Shang Zhouzuo said that I was a mantis arm as a car, and that I was just a praying mantis waving his arms in the face of the general trend that has lasted for thousands of years.

But now?

Look out there and look at the people who are reveling.

Who is the praying mantis? ”

Yang Xin said.
