Zhu Hongsan listened to Ma Mingyuan's words, clapped his hands and smiled: "Yes, the second brother is really worthy of the name of a prodigy." You are right, now I am Guangwu Liu Xiu, and those gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang are the heroes of the Han Dynasty, do you hope that my descendants will have a second Hongnong King in the future? After Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, he turned his eyes on Jiang Yueguang and Li Zhi.

Jiang Yueguang saw that the emperor had already said this, what else could he say, so he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare!" ”

Zhu Hongsan turned around and continued: "I know that Zhang Yaofang made great contributions back then, and I also know that these gentry from Jiangsu and Zhejiang made great efforts to resist the Qing Dynasty, but the state-owned state has family rules, and they made trouble in Suzhou, making the whole of Suzhou a mess, and the whole Jiangsu Province because of the thousands of people who died, what should I do if they died?" Are the gentry my people, and the dead not my people? ”

"They made great achievements back then, but I also rewarded them, and gave them all the land and official positions, should I treat them favorably for the rest of my life? So they are not allowed to be severely punished for their mistakes? ”

Zhu Hongsan said to Li Chengen: "Lao Li, you should draft a decree!" All the men of the Zhang family were decided, and the female dependents were sold as slaves, and the other twelve gentry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang who participated in the troubles were handled together with the Zhang family! Yi three clans! ”

Zhu Hongsan's gentle words are thousands of heads on the ground, these gentry are not ordinary families with small families, each family has hundreds of people, in addition to these, there are also their fathers, mothers, and wives, and it is these three clans that the Yi clan is talking about.

When Jiang Yueguang heard that he was going to kill so many people, he was about to stand up and speak, but Zhu Hongsan waved his hand to stop Jiang Yueguang.

"Jiang Aiqing, don't intercede for them, it's not a pity for them to die! Now you are talking about what to do with these officials? ”

Zhu Hongsan was talking about a few officials who did not act in this incident, Zhang Guowei, the secretary of the military department in Nanjing, who still had some real power, and Qu Shiqi, the governor of Jiangsu. In addition to these two senior officials, there are hundreds of officials of different sizes, such as Zhang Chonglun, the Marquis of Zhending, and Zhang Tongchang, the political envoy.

Ma Mingyuan was overjoyed when he heard the emperor say this, and now Jiangsu and Anhui, the two provinces that were independent from the former Nanzhili, except for a few provincial and ministerial-level senior officials who are not Donglin Party, other provinces, prefectures, and counties are controlled by the Donglin Party, and Zhejiang is the world of the Eastern Zhejiang faction. Now that there is this great opportunity, Ma Mingyuan is not too big to detain the basin, eradicate these dissident forces, and use them to install his own cronies.

Of course, Ma Mingyuan, as the first assistant, can't stand up and shoot the first shot, this kind of thing will have to be the little pony Wang Yunchang. Wang Yunchang was originally Feng Ziyong's junior brother, but Feng Ziyong was unlucky back then, and Wang Yunchang fell to Ma Mingyuan, although he was shameless, but it was understandable for his own interests.

Wang Yunchang, who got the signal, stood up unhurriedly and said: "Your Majesty, in the final analysis, this rebellion in Nanzhili is still the inaction of local officials, after receiving the news in Jiangsu Province, it took fifteen days until the troops were sent to suppress it, if the local officials can respond positively, it will not cause such serious consequences at all!" Therefore, I ask Your Majesty to severely punish Zhang Guowei, Qu Shiqian, and Zhang Tongchang, who are mainly responsible, as well as Qian Sule, the envoy of Jiangsu, Huang Yuangong, the governor of Zhejiang, Liu Guangpei, the political envoy of Zhejiang, Feng Yunqi, the governor of Songjiang Prefecture, Yang Guoshi, the governor of Jiaxing Prefecture, Hangzhou Prefecture, and other officials. ”

Zhang Guowei, Huang Yuangong, and Liu Guangpei were Jinshi in the second year of the Apocalypse and were classmates of Ma Jiyuan, Qu Shiyun and Zhang Tongchang were from the Donglin Party, and Qian Sule, Feng Yunqi, Yang Guoshi and others were all members of the Zhejiang Party.

Wang Yunchang seems to be impartial, but if you look closely, you can find that these people are not Ma Mingyuan's people. Although most of Ma Jiyuan's classmates have taken refuge in Ma Mingyuan, Zhang Guowei and others don't look down on Ma Mingyuan's personality, and they have always been pretending to Ma Mingyuan, so Ma Mingyuan has long wanted to find an opportunity to clean up these guys. Others' reasons are simpler, either the Chu Party or the enemy, so naturally they have to clean it up.

But Ma Mingyuan did not beat his political enemies to death with a stick in order to eradicate dissidents, and Anhui Governor Gong Dacheng did not move. Gong Dacheng is Tong Yangjia's father-in-law, although he is in the same situation as Ma Mingyuan, but Ma Mingyuan feels that this time he has to fight to the death with the Zhejiang Party, the Donglin Party, the Guangdong Party and others, and he still has to unite several forces within the Chu Party, and he wants to unify the muzzle of the gun to the outside world!

Jiang Yueguang heard that Wang Yunchang detained all the basins on the head of their Donglin Party, and he was really trembling with anger, but Jiang Yueguang was not Wu Lao Er next door, but an old fritter in officialdom with political experience. After Wang Yunchang finished speaking, Jiang Yueguang stood up and asked, "According to Lord Wang, all the responsibilities you said are our faults?" So how do you calculate the true Dinghou? How to calculate Pan Zide, the prefect of Suzhou, and Wang Zhang, the prefect of Wujiang? Could it be that Wang Zhang is the nephew of your Lord Wang, so he deliberately protects him? ”

Wang Yunchang smiled slightly when he heard Jiang Yueguang say this: "Lord Jiang, the state has national laws and family rules, and if Zhendinghou makes a mistake, he will naturally be governed by national law, why do you ask me?" As for the two Pan Wangs, their fault is that they did not report the news in time, but this is also a matter of no choice, Lord Jiang, you have also been a magistrate, you know how difficult those local officials are, as long as the chief official has some slackness, he will be passive and slack off! ”

Jiang Yueguang heard Wang Yunchang say this, he really had a stroke, and you put all the fault on Xu Yan, it's really too much!

Zhu Hongsan saw that these ministers were still arguing, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, I have already made a decision on how to deal with the officials!" ”

After Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, he pointed to the dossier on the royal table and said: "You are all interceding for your protégés and friends of the same year, but you look at these dossiers and look at the ugliness of you in the same year!" ”

Zhu Hongsan casually picked up a dossier, opened a page and read: "Zhang Maozhong, the magistrate of Wuxi, when he learned that the people were making trouble, did not lead the officials and the inspection department to suppress it, but said to the master: This new deal is over!" ”

After speaking, Zhu Hongsan turned another page and continued to read: "Thousands of households in Suzhou Baoshan have been freed from afar, and after getting the text of the governor's yamen to transfer troops, they actually let the soldiers take a holiday, and then the text said that there are no available soldiers!" What is this? This is delaying military aircraft! ”

Zhu Hongsan separately found dozens of local officials in the file, but they all passed the buck to each other and did not want to take responsibility, and some civil officials took the benefits of the local gentry and opened the door to those troublemakers. The generals were even more unbearable, and many people also took the guards to make up and disguise themselves as chaotic people, and entered the city to rob them.

"You say, what's the use of keeping such officials and generals? I sent them to protect the peace of the place, but what about them? Are they worthy of me? Is it worth the hard work of ten years of cold window? Are you worthy of what I have given them? Zhu Hongsan threw the file to the ground and questioned the ministers in the hall in a loud voice.

The seven elders in the main hall looked at each other, knowing that the emperor was really angry today, so it was better not to hit the muzzle. Ma Mingyuan is the first assistant, and at this time he stood up and bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, as the head of a hundred officials, the minister did not act as a good housekeeper for His Majesty, and the minister is guilty!" Several other cabinet elders also came forward to admit their mistakes.

"Well, I also know that you are very busy every day, and I probably don't have the time to take care of the affairs of such a low-level official, and I don't blame you! But these officials, big and small, must be severely punished! ”

Zhu Hongsan paused after speaking, and then said in a deep voice: "All the magistrates involved in the case are beheaded, and the family members are assigned to Luzon!" The county in the county, the main book, and the canon history must be jointly and severally liable, and the whole family will be assigned to Luzon! All the prefects involved in the case were beheaded, and their families flowed for 3,000 miles! The whole family of the Fuzhong Tongzhi, Tui Guan and other Zuo Yin officials are assigned to Luzon! Zhang Guowei, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, and Zhang Chonglun, the commander of the Nanjing Infantry Army, delayed the military plane, and the family flowed for 3,000 miles! Huang Yuangong, the governor of Zhejiang, Liu Guangpei, the political envoy of Zhejiang, Feng Yunqi, and Qian Sule, the envoy of Jiangsu, failed to extinguish the civil unrest in time, but Nian knew that he actively made up for it afterwards, and demoted these four people to seven grades, and was selected by the organization department to serve as the magistrate of Yungui! ”

Zhu Hongsan hesitated for a moment after speaking, and then said: "At the beginning of the incident, Jiangsu Governor Qu Shiyun and political envoy Zhang Tongchang were able to reflect in time and mobilize the provincial inspection department to suppress the rebellious people in Suzhou in time, so this time it is meritorious!" Yu Yinggui, the governor of Liangjiang, is old and has written many times, so the governor of Liangjiang will let Qu Shiyun take over! The governor of Jiangsu asked Zhang Tongchang to take over! The vacancies of officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces are decided by the cabinet through consultation! ”

Zhu Hongsan's remarks basically wiped out the officials of the entire Changzhou, Suzhou, Songjiang, Jiaxing, and Huzhou prefectures, and in addition to the Jiangnan gentry who were punished, more than 20,000 people were killed in this major case, more than 30,000 people were exiled, and at the same time, more than 100,000 chaotic people were escorted by Zhu Hongsan to the sparsely populated Sichuan, so that the "chaotic people case" from December of the eighth year of Shenwu to October of the ninth year of Shenwu was completely ended.

Under Zhu Hongsan's iron fist, the landlords of all sizes in the entire Taihu Lake basin were swept away, and a large amount of land was nationalized by Zhu Hongsan, and then rented to landless peasants at very low prices, which greatly alleviated the acute local land contradictions in the Taihu Lake basin. At the same time, Zhu Hongsan also used this incident to clean up the most united gentry group in Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the whole south, and no one could compete with Zhu Hongsan's Huguang group in China's most important tax area in Jiangnan.

Because a large number of landlords in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were executed, Huguang Group finally got the opportunity to enter the silk textile industry. These emerging aristocratic landlord class headed by Ma Mingyuan and others, with the connivance of the emperor, began to encroach on land in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Ma Mingyuan even arranged a large number of his peers, friends, and protégés to important posts.

While Ma Mingyuan was proud, he forgot that there is an idiom in China that says that the moon is profitable, and he is proud to say, but can the Donglin Party and the Zhejiang Party who have lost power let go of Ma Mingyuan, the culprit? ()
