Volume 3 Chapter 20
Hearing the sound of horses' hooves outside, Xu Wenjue, who was already extremely arrogant, became even more arrogant, and he laughed wildly: "Hahahaha, our centaurs have finally arrived, and those who know each other should hurry up and let go of this world, otherwise you will look good later." ”
The other people on the second floor also made a fuss, at the beginning, they were still in the prestige of Jinyiwei and did not dare to make a big noise, but now they heard Xu Wenjue say that their side of the people had arrived, and the entire second floor immediately exploded like a pot, and all kinds of insults and threats were endless.
Zhu Cijiong sat there calmly, watching the final performance of these clowns, he was not worried at all that it was not his own people, not counting the 50,000 troops under Huang Degong, just the 10,000 Beijing Camp Praetorian Guards equipped with new flintlock pistols and grenades could not be resisted by the 50,000 city guards left behind in Nanjing.
Soon, the sound of horses' hooves disappeared, and there was a sound of footsteps and the friction of armor at the staircase, and the four generals wearing chain mail hurriedly waited on the second floor, Xu Wenjue saw the four generals who came up, and his arrogant face turned into stunned, and he exclaimed: "Huang Degong!" ”
He hasn't been to Jingshi, so he doesn't know Chongzheng Emperor Zhu Cijiong, how could he not have been to Zhongdu so close, Huang Degong he knows, Zhongdu stayed, when the dynasty is a second-grade general, with 50,000 soldiers, he is a rare fierce general.
It was Huang Degong, Qin Yiming, Qin Gongming and Shi Kefa who Zhu Cijiong arranged to deter the defenders of Nanjing, and the four of them came to Zhu Cijiong and knelt down on one knee and saluted. ”
When Zhu Cijiong heard this, he glanced at Zheng Sen proudly, and said to Xu Wenjue: "This is General Huang who stayed in the Central Capital, aren't you going to tie me up and go to the Central Capital to invite merit?" ”
Xu Wenjue was already pale at this time, Huang Degong was a general in Beijing, and he had always been loyal to the royal family, so naturally he would not be bored enough to cooperate with a little prince to pretend to be the emperor. No need to ask, the eight or nine-year-old kid in front of him is the real Chongzheng Emperor, he actually treats others as a little prince, isn't this looking for death!
Thinking about this, Xu Wenjue slowly softened, he knew that he was finished. Seeing Xu Wenjue's appearance, the entire second floor suddenly fell into a dead silence.
Zhu Cijiong didn't bother to take care of this goods, he said to Luo Yangxing: "Hurry up and send someone to investigate, let the irrelevant people go." ”
After that, he walked straight to Wang Zhengnan's table, this Wang Zhengnan is also a rare fierce general, but he was too young to catch up with the battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Qing army, and when he became the chief soldier, even Nanming had already perished, which was really a useless place for heroes.
Now that such a big hero with strong martial arts is in front of him, Zhu Cijiong will naturally not let go, although Wang Zhengnan is still young now, but Zhu Cijiong is younger than him, and there is still a long way to go in the future.
Zhu Cijiong's move, Cao Huachun, Huang Degong, and a group of Jinyi Wei and Dongchang masters naturally followed, Qin Mingyue looked at Zheng Sen, after all, she was a little uneasy, but she still held him in her arms and followed.
When Wang Zhengnan and the others saw Zhu Cijiong coming, they quickly knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "The grass people meet the emperor." ”
Zhu Cijiong smiled and said: "No courtesy, no courtesy, don't I don't wear a dragon robe, you don't have to be so restrained, get up." ”
Everyone was inexplicable, I don't know why the emperor was suddenly so amiable, Zhu Cijiong naturally did this for a purpose, and after they all got up, he immediately walked up to Wang Zhengnan and asked with interest: "If I heard it wrong, your name is Wang Zhengnan, right?" Kung Fu is so good, have you ever thought about serving the country? ”
Wang Zhengnan was flattered and stammered: "I think, I think, I think, but unfortunately I haven't had a chance." ”
Zhu Cijiong was overjoyed when he heard this: "Okay, I'll give you this opportunity now, first hang a Jingying Qianhu title with me, and then lead the troops to fight when you are proficient in the art of war in the future, what do you think?" ”
Wang Zhengnan naturally couldn't ask for it, he knelt on the ground excitedly and kowtowed: "Thank you for the emperor's grace." ”
............
This night's Jinling City can be described as very lively, first the annual Oiran Conference was grandly opened, and the lively lasted for more than two hours; Then tens of thousands of city guards and Beijing Janissaries rushed into the city with the cooperation of the Jinyi guards, disarmed all the city guards left behind in Nanjing, and drove back to the barracks; In the end, countless Jinyi guards wantonly arrested the rebellious ministers and thieves who plotted to rebel in the city, and almost the entire Jinling was turned over by them.
The vigorous arrest operation lasted all night, and almost all the high-ranking officials and nobles in Jinling City became prisoners, and even more than half of the minor officials below the fifth rank were arrested, and the Jiangnan Shidafu group headed by Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, and Xu Wenjue, the prince of Wei, were almost wiped out.
Is this the end of it? Of course not, Zhu Cijiong still adheres to the policy when purging the eunuchs:
The culprits Xu Hongji and Xu Wenjue, father and son, confiscated the family property and exterminated the whole family.
The main culprit, Zhao Zhilong and others, confiscated all their family property and beheaded them for public display.
The remaining accomplices may be given lenient sentences if they behave well.
Those who can take the initiative to expose the crimes of their accomplices and hand over all the proceeds of corruption are only demoted to ordinary people, and the crimes will not be investigated.
He only handed over the proceeds of corruption, and refused to expose the crimes of his accomplices, and was exiled for thousands of miles.
Those who refused to hand over the proceeds of corruption and refused to expose the crimes of their accomplices were imprisoned and executed in the autumn.
It's terrible now, who doesn't want to live, who doesn't want to be free, the officials who are greedy and bend the law for the interests of the Jiangnan Shidafu group are bitten out one by one.
First of all, it was only the local officials in Nanjing, but it slowly extended to the three provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, and they disobeyed the decrees of the Jingshi court, deducted taxes, and suppressed foreign officials, and the entire Jiangnan almost became a small court.
They also opened the door for relatives and friends to do business, helped them suppress competitors, like Rixinglong ran to Nanjing to open a branch, touching their interests, they called the city guards to directly seal Rixinglong, and ordered them to hand over a ransom of 10 million taels, and they would be killed by them if they had no background, even if the background was Jinyiwei's command to make Luo Yangxing in Nanjing, he couldn't play Xu Wenjue.
It's a pity that the backstage of the prosperity is not Luo Yangxing, but the Chongzheng Emperor Zhu Cijiong, they kicked to the hardest iron plate in the world, and now the bones and tendons are a luxury, our little emperor launched a ruthless attack, and he will not stop if he does not kill them all.
As soon as he bit down, most of the officials in the three provinces in the south of the Yangtze River were bitten out, and Luo Yangxing's hands were soft, and he felt that this should be about the same. However, after consulting Zhu Cijiong, the reply he got was: Not enough, continue!
