Chapter 927: Operation Thunder (Page 1/1)

At night, the docks outside the city are still carnivaling, but inside the city, the operation to clean up all corrupt officials has begun.

Adou was ordered to lead a thousand secret guards to take the lead, and three thousand soldiers to assist. The soldiers divided into more than a dozen roads and went straight to the mansion of the official named by Jiang Tianxing.

The arrest was swift and silent, with the guards taking the lead, followed by the government soldiers, breaking down the door and directly controlling all the officials on the list.

There were no accidents with the arrest of corrupt officials in the city, and Mao Wenlong's banquet on the dock was not over. I have already received an urgent report from Adou, saying that the arrest of all the officials on the list has been completed without any omission.

However, to Mao Wenlong's surprise, under Adou's interrogation, more than a dozen corrupt officials successively recruited corrupt officials from other counties.

According to Mao Wenlong's original intention, he originally just hoped to take down Jiang Tianxing, the prefect, and make an example of the monkey. But as soon as he learned that there were still officials involved, he immediately changed his mind.

ordered someone to call Chen Jisheng and Chen Qiyu nine. Mao Wenlong gave them an order: "There is a situation of official corruption in Guangzhou Prefecture, and you all have to work hard tonight." Dispatched overnight to ask Adou for a list of corrupt officials, and then arrest them. Remember, this general soldier wants you to be arrested one by one, and if anyone comes out of the basket, then wait to be punished! ”

"Yes, Commander!" Nine people responded in unison.

Then, Chen Qiyu asked Mao Wenlong: "Chief soldier, what should we do if these officials resist and have friction with us?" ”

Mao Wenlong's eyes were full of hideousness, and a cold and cold voice burst out of his mouth: "Kill!" ”

Chen Qiyu and the others respectfully accepted the order, and then gathered their respective subordinates and rushed to the city to contact Adou. After they learned the list of so-called corrupt officials in each county, the nine began to discuss who was in charge of which county.

Mao Wenlong looked at the already empty wharf, and the celebratory banquet had already dispersed with Chen Jisheng and their departure. Mao Wenlong is now the only one left on the dock, occupying a table for drinking and recreation.

Looking up at the bright moon hanging high in the sky and the starry sky, Mao Wenlong fell into deep thought. During this trip to Fucheng, I unexpectedly found that the corruption of Ming officials did not seem to have been curbed in the slightest. This discovery made Mao Wenlong vigilant.

On the surface, the Ming Dynasty is now thriving, and after unification, it finally ushered in a rare period of peace. Judging from the large number of corrupt officials implicated in the capital of Guangzhou, it seems that the real crisis of the Ming Dynasty has not been resolved.

Some of the old problems left over from the previous dynasty do not seem to have been resolved. Originally, Mao Wenlong thought that the gentry class was disintegrated during the war, and it should not sprout in this nascent Ming Dynasty.

But now it seems that it was just wishful thinking on his part. has never had an in-depth understanding, Mao Wenlong has always been only responsible for taking the city, and has not interfered with any government affairs. However, the problems discovered today have exposed that the current ruling class of the Ming Dynasty has begun to be corrupt.

If these moths are not dealt with as soon as possible, they will become a serious hidden danger in the future. Thinking of this, Mao Wenlong got up and left the wine table, Shi Shiran returned to the warship, and he walked into his study.

After being closed in the study for a long time, when Mao Wenlong came out again, he already had an envelope in his hand.

"Haoxiao, immediately send a reliable messenger to send the letter to Nanking in a hot air balloon. Tell the messenger to be sure to hand the letter into Mr. Hung's hands. "There are a large number of corrupt officials in Fucheng this time, and this needs to be known to Hong Chengchou immediately, so that he can prepare as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if the entire Guangzhou government loses too many officials overnight and does not receive timely replenishment, it will inevitably cause unnecessary chaos.

The Guangzhou Mansion, which had just been sacked by the Japanese invaders, had only regained some vitality, and if it suffered a little more waves, it would be difficult to guarantee irreversible consequences.

"Yes, Commander!" Hao Xiao gave up his hand to receive the order, then took the envelope and hurried away.

"Sir! I hope you will be able to live up to the trust......"

Mao Wenlong sighed at the starry sky, and then returned to the study to sleep peacefully.

Under the guidance of some government soldiers familiar with the local area, the Dongjiang Army dispatched 50,000 troops overnight. Rushed to more than a dozen county towns in batches, and under the dark night, shadowy black shadows walked through the streets and alleys.

The official residences in the county towns were quietly surrounded by a large number of Dongjiang troops, and then broke into the door. After a short jump, it quickly subsided.

The officials of the palace were disarmed and gathered to guard them. The guards and family soldiers also failed to escape, and they were all arrested. Those who dared to show their identities after the Dongjiang Army revealed their identities, and all those who dared to resist at all were killed.

When the first rays of sunlight shone on the earth in the early morning, none of the officials involved were caught. Their families and soldiers were taken to the docks in the provincial capital.

Chen Jisheng and Chen Qiyu stepped on the early morning sun, boarded Mao Wenlong's warship, and knocked on the door of Mao Wenlong's study.

was disturbed by his dreams, but Mao Wenlong didn't look angry, he was served by his subordinates, washed up, ate some breakfast, and met Chen Jisheng and others.

There were more than a dozen people crowded into the small study, and there was a hint of tension in the air. Mao Wenlong's eyes surveyed everyone for a while, and then he said with a smile: "It seems that your affairs went smoothly last night." ”

Chen Jisheng was the first to stand up and report: "Chief soldier, last night we arrested a total of more than 100 county officials. None of the officials involved on all the lists escaped! ”

The matter was expected by Mao Wenlong, who listened to Chen Jisheng's report, and he did not have the slightest surprise. Very indifferently took a sip of fragrant tea, Mao Wenlong nodded and said, "Very good!" ”

Chen Qiyu also stood up and said: "The chief soldiers, in addition to the arrest of those corrupt officials, there are also their family members or family soldiers, the number is about 2,000 people, please show the general soldiers, how should we deal with them?" ”

Mao Wenlong paused for a moment and said: "Check all the officials involved in corruption, find out how much they have corrupted, and confiscate all their family property." If serious corruption is discovered, there will be no forgiveness for their death, and as for their families, they will also be investigated, and those who have not been corrupt or committed crimes will be punished lightly. ”

It's not that Mao Wenlong wants to let go of the families of these corrupt officials, he should be ruthless to the end. It's just that this time I didn't expect that there were more than 100 officials involved. Mao Wenlong also had to be more restrained, otherwise there was a real possibility of turmoil in Guangzhou.
