Zhou Caihuan and others did not disappear as many people imagined after being secretly interrogated for half a month, and there was news that the six girls went to the intelligence line to work. Correspondingly, the families of the six were also affected, and it is said that they were sent overseas. This incident did not turn into a widespread prison as many expected. Correspondingly, Yun Xiaoxuan still stayed by Xiao Xuan's side.

In order to appease the hearts of the people around him, Xiao Xuan denied some rumors and ill-intentioned things with these girls on the bright side, and only thought that it was just a serious mistake. But even so, it still failed to dispel the doubts of the girls around Xiao Xuan. No one can be sure if those people and their associated families were secretly involved.

This made the girls around Xiao Xuan in the central manor seem to be no longer as unscrupulous as before, in some lewd amusements. At this time, Xiao Xuan also understood that now was not the time for everything to be on the right track.

When the autumn harvest season of Chongzhen's eighth year passed, and when the farming season arrived, the deterrent effect of the Hero Outer City Report Reward Program was not only in the southeast, but also in many other places. At least 10,000 whistleblowers in various fields and their families, and 40,000 or 50,000 people, gradually moved to the outer city of Nanjing while the canal was still open.

Xiao Xuan also began to carefully review the various reports from the internal and external affairs lines to the management agencies and treasury of the Heroic Outer City. Generally speaking, in order to reward these tens of thousands of whistleblowers who have made outstanding contributions to the correction of deviations in society and civil and military officials, a total of more than 5 million taels of silver has been spent in more than four months, and the final stable expenditure should be 2 million taels per month, or about 24 million taels per year, but the government's share of fiscal revenue brought by these 10,000 whistleblowers has reached a scale equivalent to nearly 30 million taels just in hard currency, which is still secondary. Because the official equity income is estimated to be in the tens of millions of taels per year, this is not counting the financial benefits that may be provided by the Hero Outer City, which is developed with sufficient funds.

Overall, the 10,000 whistleblowers involved would be able to sustain at least a decade or more because of the huge benefits of the financial system in Europe, even if that number were to increase by two or three times. In the past ten years or so, Xiao Xuan is confident that the entire society should be fundamentally different in accordance with the direction he has established under the rule of law, and will have more ability to pay.

Of course, when the agricultural slack season of the eighth year of Chongzhen arrived, the scale of the protest crowd of about 100,000 people, mainly people from the southeast area, supplemented by other parts of the country, gathered in many places near the outer city of Nanjing, including not only a few people who seemed to have decent economic conditions, but even many ordinary people who had been coerced.

"Abolish the Bad Government! Return the world to peace! ”

"Your Majesty Shengming, I will not be bewitched by the villain, if it continues like this, my Huaxia will die...

The feelings of many of these people don't look like drama at all. There is no doubt that it is not only the interests of certain people outside the system that can be affected by the efforts of the whole country to reward and rectify the outdated and bad habits in key areas, and even the fundamental principles and interests that have been difficult to shake for thousands of years. The fact that these can be gathered outside the Hero's Outskirts without encountering obvious obstructions along the way is telling.

After getting the relevant news, Xiao Xuan had a plan to speak and explain in front of these people, but this plan was rejected just for a flash. If something can be solved by petitions and opportunities, what kind of hints will be given to the people according to the distribution of trouble? Many problems can still be solved through illegal channels. Blocking this channel will do a lot of harm in the short term, but in the medium to long term it will allow the flood below to learn the culture and awareness of playing by the rules and behaving by the rules.

Therefore, he also ordered: "Fire as much as you can!" If these people can withstand 10% casualties and not break up, it means that these people's hearts are still sincere. I'll think about borrowing from the representatives of these people. If you can't do it all, then it means that even if all parts of the world are opposed, it is just a group of rabble... ”

What people didn't expect was that at this time, the rumbling cannons rang out one after another. The six heavy artillery companies that had already been deployed near the Hero's outer city to protect 72 13-pound and 1,000-pound field guns launched fierce artillery fire. In just one salvo, 72 guns fired more than 100,000 rounds of light shotguns of about one and a half cents, and bombarded these light shotguns into a very dense crowd, and the rain-like barrage brought continuous panic and shouts to the crowd.

If these more than 100,000 people are armoured and shielded, and the formation also has a certain amount of evacuated troops, they may not be too vulnerable. However, the formation was ten times denser than that of wartime, and the protective strength was still fragile, and under the fierce bombardment, more than 5,000 people were injured to varying degrees in the face of almost more than 100,000 light shotguns scattered over a large area in the first round.

About 1,000 and a half light shrapnel almost lost the ability to break light armor at a distance of 100 steps, but for people who only had thin clothes and flesh and blood even light armor and wooden shields, most of them could see blood in flesh. Even if it didn't get into the flesh, it could hit a rather painful swollen bag, and the light shotgun that was not very lethal still caused hundreds of deaths in the first time.

Most of these people, after all, were not specially trained troops, and they were shaken and collapsed in an instant under the blow of hundreds of people killed on the spot and thousands wounded, and together with the number of dead and wounded by the stampede, at least more than 2,000 people died and thousands were injured in this chaos. Almost at the same time, the militia guards in the city outside the hero did not flinch at all, and the Central Guard, which had been assembled, arrested more than 40,000 of them, and the massive protest of more than 100,000 people collapsed in the face of unscrupulous suppression.

At this time, Xiao Xuan had a hunch: perhaps because his steps were too big, the entire Ming Dynasty was likely to usher in a civil war and turmoil again, but it was obvious that many forces were not ready to provoke a civil war. At this time, Xiao Xuan, who had already obtained most of the gold and silver hard currency resources seized from Europe, did not want to delay the showdown, which did not seem to be of any benefit at all, so the large-scale torture in the capital and even near the central manor was once again intensively carried out.
