Huaiyuan Marquis Mansion.

"Murder pays for life!"

"Blood debt and blood payment!"

……

The street outside the gate was crowded with people, more than 2,000 green insects shouted indignantly, and there was also the cry of the Fang family's daughters in the middle, and a piece of white filial piety clothes was particularly eye-catching in the crowd. And a big coffin was blocked at the main entrance of the Hou Mansion, but the gate was closed, but you could see a house slave lying on the wall, holding a stick and looking out vigilantly, but I didn't see Chang Yanling's figure.

In the distance, a team of red-clothed soldiers from the Five Cities Terracotta Division watched from afar.

It was clear that they were not prepared to interfere.

More idlers also gathered in the distance, and even the front of several nearby mansions of Xungui was full of idlers watching the excitement, saying that this street, which was originally called the most luxurious street in Nanjing, was so lively for the first time since Xungui was destroyed by Yang Qingtuan. The orphans and widows who remained were all curious to see this spectacular scene, and to see that the last one among the nobles who survived was finally unlucky.

"Fang Gong is a big man, the word Ouyu, the number Yunsheng, Chongzhen ten years Ding Chouke Erjia Jinshi was born, and Jiashenzhi became the North Zhili Jing Cheng Dao......"

In front of the coffin, Huang Zongxi reads the eulogy.

Several women and children in filial clothes next to him began to cry.

"Murder pays for life!"

……

All kinds of roars rang out again in anger.

Then some people who couldn't control their emotions began to throw stones into the wall, and those house slaves who were originally lying on it to guard quickly retracted in fright, and some people stepped forward to smash the door, especially a few who were obviously from the Fang family, and even smashed them with hammers and the like. The green worms in the back applauded, and the officers who led the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to maintain order in the distance immediately blew the whistle, but it was useless to blow at this time, the green worms blocked the entire street, and they couldn't get close even if they wanted to intervene.

"This, this is too unseemly!"

Wang Fuzhi looked at the spectacular scene in front of him and said.

It was clear that this kind of scene made him uncomfortable.

"Guest officer, this is nothing, there have often been this kind of thing in Nanjing City in recent years, there are two times outside the Chengtian Gate alone, the first time is winter, it was doused by the water dragon on the Chengtian Gate, and the second time there is no water dragon in the summer, but it was smoked by the Five Cities Terracotta Division with du. However, now there are new rules, as long as you submit an application to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division in advance, indicate the number of people and the route of the assembly, and do not do anything illegal, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division will not care. ”

The coachman said.

"It's not a crime to gather a crowd to smash the Marquis's Mansion?"

Wang Fuzhi said.

At this moment, suddenly a burning quilt flew out of the wall, and fell down in a scream, and the green worms below dodged in horror, and then the door opened, and before those who smashed the door could react, buckets of dung poured out from inside, and instantly poured their whole bodies.

The latter was stunned.

The gate then closes with great speed.

The next moment, the green worms broke out instantly.

"Slam the door open!"

"Rush in!"

……

With an angry roar, soon the coffin was lifted, it was obvious that they were also prepared, this coffin was obviously reinforced, carried by more than 20 people, directly carried to the front of the gate, the people behind pushed hard, and hit the gate at once. These things are all pure solid wood, and they are all solid wood, especially this kind of family, which is really like a battering ram, hundreds of catties of weight hit the gate at once, and the gate was knocked open almost instantly. A few house slaves carrying dung buckets inside watched in astonishment, and the next moment they dispersed as fast as they could, and almost at the same time those green worms swarmed in......

"Quick, go and call someone, the situation is going to get out of control!"

The officer in the distance hurriedly shouted.

The soldiers beside him immediately mounted their horses, turned with the reins, and in the neighing of the horses, accompanied by the bumps of the running, a bronze bell beside him also rang continuously, and the idlers who watched the excitement hurriedly hid to the sides to make way for the road, and the horse galloped forward with the sound of the bell.

At the same time, the soldiers who had been watching the excitement immediately formed a formation, and the combination of rattan and short sticks pushed forward, and the grenadier with a big waist and a round waist behind him pulled out a grenade......

It's still guffy.

They first threw out a grenade.

It was small, not as big as a fist, but the thing exploded in the middle of the dense green worms, still creating a dispersing smoke, and the soldier with a leather cover with glass on his face and a pig's mouth then crashed into the smoke and began to disperse the green worms with his stick. They threw grenades forward, and the grenadiers behind them threw grenades forward, first creating chaos with the duke to force the green worms to dodge, and then the soldiers in front of them beat them violently with sticks, and for a time the ghosts cried wolf. However, because of the terrain restrictions, it was difficult for those green insects to disperse, after all, they were on a street lined with buildings, some smart ones simply broke into the mansion next to them, and some directly took a ladder to climb the wall, and the soldiers slowly advanced in the foggy chaos.

This scene made Wang Fuzhi dumbfounded.

Obviously, the changes in Nanjing are not only the harmonious scenes he saw before, but also a lot of discordant things.

However, even so, they still couldn't stop the green worms in front of them from pouring into the Huaiyuan Hou Mansion, and even they accelerated the speed of the influx, after all, it was easier to escape by hiding in the Hou Mansion, so as to avoid being caught by the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and paying the fine. These guys fled to the back door in the Hou Mansion, and smashed them unscrupulously, even Fang Dayou's coffin was thrown away, and several women in filial piety clothes continued to cry on it, while the house slaves and female dependents of the Chang family were scattered in horror, and the entire Huaiyuan Hou Mansion was in a chaos of ghosts crying wolves.

But I still didn't see Chang Yanling come out......

Well, Marquis Huaiyuan is not in the mansion.

"Marquis Zhongyong, what do you want to do?"

Chang Yanling, who was sandwiched between the two brocade guards, yelled at Yang Qing angrily.

He had been edicted to enter the palace before that.

Then as soon as he entered the palace, he was controlled by Yang Qing.

"Marquis Huaiyuan, I'm here to help you, although it's not right for you to kill Fang Dayou after all, but after all, you are the King of Kaiping Zhongwu, I can't watch you being killed by them, since this is the case, I have to ask you to rest in the palace first."

Yang Qing said.

"You're kind!"

Chang Yanling sneered.

"Huaiyuanhou, I know that you don't worry about me, afraid that I will usurp the throne, but you really misunderstood, I can tell you very frankly that I saved the first emperor and escaped from Beijing just for the princess. Otherwise, I will vote directly for Li Zicheng there, if I want to usurp the throne, the princess will be the first to not agree, whether you believe it or not, it is the case, as long as the princess does not agree, I will not have other thoughts.

As for the emperor......

If I don't want to welcome him, I directly send someone to shoot him to death and then frame Li Zicheng, why bother so much, can Jinyiwei tie up a big living person from Beijing, and can't he use a rifled gun to shoot the emperor to death fifty zhang away? You think that I am doing things just so that the emperor can usurp the throne after he comes up, but in fact I just want to ensure that the emperor will not harm me after he comes up! I will definitely not usurp the throne, you can rest assured of this, but no one can stop me from transforming the Ming Dynasty, if the Ming Dynasty does not carry out a reborn transformation, sooner or later it will be destroyed by others, I say in the end it is still for the Ming to survive for a long time.

You've seen the changes over the years.

Our people began to eat well, our court began to have no shortage of money, and our army began to become invincible, and this change is obvious to all.

But the transformation will have to involve some vested interests.

I am indeed very bad to the clan, but you also know what kind of virtue the clan is, I restricted some of their interests, but also gave them the conditions to support themselves, which is better than them being wiped out by others like the King of Chu in the future, and what they will lose at that time is not a little land and silver.

I did destroy the old nobles of Nanjing.

But I don't need to tell you what you've done in the past two hundred years, right? Have you divided the land of the guards in Nanjing, and have those soldiers been serving as farmers for you for generations? If you are not solved, even the defenders of Nanjing cannot guarantee that they will fight for the Ming Dynasty. I did throw all the men of each family on Hainan Island, but the title was retained, and the land was enough to support the family, and their children and grandchildren still inherited their titles. Could it be that let Daming continue to erode, one day you will be the same as the nobles in Beijing, what Zhang Zicheng and Wang Zicheng will be more in line with your mind?

As for me fighting with civil officials and gentry, that has nothing to do with you. ”

Yang Qing said.

"Then what is your intention for civil rights?"

Chang Yanling said.

"Please tell me, why did the Ming Dynasty erode to that point before? Jiannu's lone army can fight all the way to Yanzhou! Just those tens of thousands of Jiannu cavalry, if there is a city along the way that can hold on, and there is a strong man in a house who swears to resist to the death, it is impossible for them to return to the outside of the pass! is also the common people, why when Taizu founded the country, he dared to pull out a strong man and dare to hold a spear on the battlefield to slap the Mongolian cavalry, and now there are cannons and shotguns, but they will collapse at the touch of a touch in the face of Jiannu? ”

Yang Qing said.

"It's very simple, the country doesn't know that there are people, and the people know that there is a country? At that time, everyone understood that the expulsion of the Tatars restored China, and now? What do the country and the people have to do? Jiannu killed King Lu's family, and the people will only follow to grab money, if you want to truly revive the Ming Dynasty, you must first let the people have a country in their hearts, but the country does not give the people power, is it necessary for the people to have a country in their hearts? Could it be that shouting a few slogans can make them have a country in their hearts? I don't want to give them anything, but I want them to die for the country, do you think there is such a good thing in the world? ”

He went on to say.

Chang Yanling was silent.

"Master Hou, those chaotic people have rushed into the Huaiyuan Marquis Mansion!"

At this moment, a brocade guard ran in to report.

"Uh, hurry up and stop it, don't let them hurt the families of the Hou Mansion!"

Yang Qing said.

But suddenly, he raised his head and looked at the sky in the distance in some amazement, Chang Yanling immediately turned his head, and saw that in the blue sky where the clouds dispersed after the rain, a billowing smoke was rising......

"Damn, they're burning my house!"

Chang Yanling roared angrily.
