Text Volume 11, Chapter 2, Section 7 Jiangnan Upheaval
After the twists and turns of all parties in the court gathered in front of Emperor Chongzhen, there was no news, as if a stone had sunk into the sea, and people from all sides were anxiously waiting for Emperor Chongzhen's opinion.
However, what made people from all sides feel strange was that Emperor Chongzhen did not seem to show too much attention to the policy of integrating grain from Zhenguo Gong, and neither expressed his approval nor angered opposition, which made people from all sides very puzzled.
Just when the Manchu Dynasty was waiting for Emperor Chongzhen to show his attitude, there was surprising news from Jiangnan.
After Zhen Guogong took control of Nanjing City, it only took a few days to stabilize the political situation in Nanjing, and then he ordered nearly 100,000 soldiers of the pacesetter battalion and Feiyu Battalion under his command to divide the road and rush towards Moling Pass and Chunhua Town in Yingtianfu, Jianyangwei in Taiping Mansion, Danyang and Jintan in Zhenjiang Mansion.
In just a few days, Moling Pass, Chunhua Town, Jianyangwei, Danyang, and Jintan were all lost, most of the generals defending the city were defeated, and the rest of the remnants were all captured by the Hanwei army, and sent to the north bank of the Yangtze River to be handed over to Guo Yi and Huang Degong for disposal.
After that, Liu Yunwei, the prince of Zhenguo, still did not stop, and ordered the soldiers of the pacesetter battalion and the Feiyu battalion that had been scattered in various places to continue to go south, and run rampant in the provinces south of the Yangtze River, wantonly arresting the remnants of the Donglin anti-party, as well as the local officials and garrison generals who were involved in the Donglin anti-party. In the face of the extremely powerful soldiers of the Hanwei Army, the generals everywhere did not dare to resist, and the cities and passes around the country were useless in front of the Hanwei Army!
In just one month, Suzhou Mansion, Hangzhou Mansion, Songjiang Mansion, Huizhou Mansion, Shaoxing Mansion, Jinhua Mansion, Taizhou Mansion, Ningbo Mansion, Changsha Mansion, Ganzhou Mansion, Hengzhou Mansion, Wuchang Mansion, Xiangyang Mansion, Jingzhou Mansion, and Changde Mansion can all see the figure of Hanwei soldiers taking people to raid their homes.
On the north bank of the Yangtze River, General Guo Yi and General Huang Degong also joined forces, divided the 40,000 army into several routes, and wantonly arrested the remnants of the Donglin rebel party on the north bank of the Yangtze River. Luzhou Mansion, Fengyang Mansion, Huai'an Mansion, Yangzhou Mansion and other places are all rumors, and Long Xiang Iron Cavalry and a large number of soldiers will go around to take people and raid their homes.
In the south, with the defeat of the Dutch at Liuluo Bay and the expulsion of the Dutch army that invaded Taiwan, Zheng Zhilong, the new commander-in-chief of the Guangdong army, also raised troops to respond to Liu Yunwei, the prince of Zhenguo, and raised 50,000 troops to arrest the Donglin rebels.
Zheng Zhilong ordered his brother Zheng Zhihu and his generals Zheng Xing, Zheng Ming, Yang Geng, Chen Hui, Zheng Cai and others to divide their troops into several routes and arrest Donglin rebels and rob people in Wenzhou Mansion, Jianning Mansion, Quanzhou Mansion, Tingzhou Mansion, Zhangzhou Mansion, Chaozhou Mansion, Huizhou Mansion, Guangzhou Mansion, Shaozhou Mansion, Zhaoqing Mansion and other places.
In the blink of an eye, in February of the fourth year of Chongzhen, the army of Donglin rebels in the south of the Yangtze River has come to the good news, and the armies from all walks of life have captured more than 1,700 people from the Donglin rebel party, and the official wealth is quite huge, totaling more than 189 million taels of silver, more than 6 million taels of gold, more than 8 million stones of grain, tens of thousands of houses, hundreds of thousands of hectares of fertile land, and other treasures such as pearl agate, silk and satin are even more huge because the number is too huge, and the soldiers of the army can't count them for a while!
Liu Yunwei had been sitting in Nanjing during this period, and after receiving the stolen money and evidence that had been shipped back from all over the south of the Yangtze River, Liu Yunwei was indignant and scolded in front of more than a dozen civil and military officials of the Nanjing court, including Shi Kefa, Ma Shiying, Qian Qianyi, and Gao Hongtu.
"This is Da Ming's
Officials! This is the so-called Donglin Magi! It's just a bastard, a bunch of things that have brought disaster to the country and the people! β
Shi Kefa, Ma Shiying, Qian Qianyi, Gao Hongtu and others were silent and ashamed in the face of the mountains of ironclad evidence. In particular, Shi Kefa and other officials from the Donglin Party, who were exempted from punishment for their evil deeds, felt even more ashamed.
After Liu Yunwei scolded angrily for a while, he said coldly: "Someone! Send all these evidence of Donglin's rebellion against the party to the capital and submit it to His Majesty for inspection. In addition, he gave an order to Guo Yi, the general of the Long Xiang Iron Cavalry, and Huang Degong, the general soldier, ordering Guo Yi to immediately lead the Long Xiang Iron Cavalry to cross the river south, and ordered Huang Degong to send 10,000 troops to accompany him to the south, and the army was limited to arrive in Nanjing City within three days. Ordered Guo Yi to lead the Long Xiang Iron Cavalry and 10,000 troops to escort all the captured stolen money north to the capital! β
Hearing this, Shi Kefa, Ma Shiying, Qian Qianyi, Gao Hongtu and others were all surprised, everyone was full of poetry and books, and they also had a lot of family wealth on weekdays, which can be regarded as worry-free food and clothing, and superior life, but in the face of such a huge wealth, they are also quite excited and eager to try, including Shi Kefa!
However, Liu Yunwei, the prince of Zhenguo, directly handed over all the stolen money to the imperial court in front of everyone, and directly allocated 10,000 iron horsemen and 10,000 foot soldiers to escort him north, leaving no wealth for himself, which was too unexpected by everyone!
Shi Kefa looked at the resolute Liu Yunwei, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Zhenguo Gong is not afraid of danger, and he is not moved when he sees money, he is really perfect!" β
The rest of the people were shocked, and their eyes were full of puzzlement when they looked at Liu Yunwei, and they couldn't believe that the scene that happened in front of them was true.
Liu Yunwei ignored everyone's reactions, didn't pay attention to them at all, and continued to deal with the affairs of all parties.
"Give orders to all the armies to arrest all the criminals and bring them to the city of Nanjing within a time limit of 15 days. This duke will hold a public trial of all the criminals in the city of Nanjing, and the most heinous people will be escorted to the capital to discuss the crime! β
The shogunate immediately drafted an official document ordering the garrisons of the southern provinces to report to the Shogunate the actual number and readiness of the soldiers under his command, and that the generals above the rank of 1,000 generals were not allowed to keep their families and must be disbanded immediately. After one month, the Duke will inspect the garrisons in various places, and once it is found that the situation of eating empty salaries, supporting families, and not repairing the military equipment, the Duke will severely punish and will not tolerate it! β
"Master Shi! When this duke appointed you as a temporary inspector, he supervised the southern provinces after a month, and strictly investigated the corruption of civil ministers and military generals in various places. β
Liu Yunwei's orders were issued one after another, and the dozen or so main officials of the Nanjing Imperial Court sitting there were all stunned, obviously unable to keep up with Liu Yunwei's thinking.
After a while, everyone reacted slightly, and their hearts were surging.
"Zhenguo Gong is going to turn over the rivers and seas in the southern provinces, it seems that the south is going to change the sky!"
For a while, everyone's hearts were so sighing.
Shi Kefa's face was even more excited, and it seemed that he could show his skills. Being able to check the southern officialdom must be able to go down in history, what is it that is a protΓ©gΓ© of a saint? Isn't it just a name in history!
"Zhenguo Gong rest assured, the old man will do his best to thoroughly investigate the atmosphere of officialdom in various places, so that those corrupt officials have nothing to hide!"
Next to him, Qian Qianyi, Ma Shiying, and Gao Hongtu looked upright
Shi Kefa, who was angry and high-spirited, had a complicated look on his face, and he lowered his head and thought to himself.
A month later, the general Guo Yi led 10,000 dragon cavalry and 10,000 foot soldiers to transport a huge amount of stolen money and set off to the north, and Zheng Zhilong, the general soldier of Guangdong, Lu Ying, the general soldier of Tongzhou Town, and other troops from all walks of life also rushed to Nanjing City one after another, escorting more than 1,700 Donglin rebels to Nanjing, and at the same time, more than 80,000 family members of these Donglin rebels were also escorted over.
When the people in Nanjing heard the news, they rushed to the streets to watch, and when they looked at the endless procession of criminals, the onlookers suddenly burst into bursts of rage, and rotten vegetable leaves, stones, eggs, and other things smashed into the ranks of criminals like raindrops, and at the same time all kinds of cursing voices were endless.
The anger of the onlookers not only made those people unable to resist, but even the soldiers in charge of the escort were injured and hit a lot by mistake.
At this time, Liu Yunwei, together with Shi Kefa, Ma Shiying, Qian Qianyi, Gao Hongtu and other Nanjing court officials, a total of dozens of people, had already been waiting in the school field in the city, and tens of thousands of Nanjing people gathered around, waiting to watch this once-in-a-lifetime scene.
After the soldiers of the army escorted all the prisoners to the scene, Liu Yunwei ordered everyone to announce the crimes committed on the spot, and then convicted more than 1,700 Donglin rebels against the party. With the exception of more than 300 convicts who were sentenced to various years of imprisonment for relatively minor crimes, the remaining 1,400 felons were punished severely.
Liu Yunwei beheaded more than 300 felons with bad deeds on the spot, loaded the remaining 1,000 felons into prisoner cars, and transferred the officers and men of the first battalion of the Hanwei army to escort them north, and Feng Tian, the general of the first battalion of the pacesetter battalion, led the troops to accompany them.
Shi Kefa, Ma Shiying, Qian Qianyi, Gao Hongtu and other Nanjing court officials on the side were all silent when they saw this, and more than 1,700 large and small prisoners were all sent down one by one by Liu Yunwei, the prince of Zhenguo, in a short period of time.
After watching the dozens of officials watching Liu Yunwei, they couldn't help but feel sad that the rabbit died and the fox died, and their hearts were a little sad.
Different from the reaction of the officials, the tens of thousands of people who were watching were extremely excited, seeing that more than 1,000 criminals who had brought disaster to the country and the people were dealt with one by one, and the surrounding people were all chanting and cheering.
"Zhenguo Gong is mighty!"
"Long live Daming!"
"Kill these corrupt officials! Eliminate harm for the people! β
Shi Kefa, Ma Shiying, Qian Qianyi, Gao Hongtu and other Nanjing court officials looked at the boundless people, and listened to the deafening shouts in their ears, and they were a little stunned in their hearts, and secretly said in their hearts: "This is the power of the people of the Ming Dynasty, Tang Taizong's words that water can carry boats and can overturn boats are really wise words!" β
On this day, the entire city of Nanjing was in a boil, in this upheaval that affected the entire southern Ming Dynasty, Liu Yunwei, the prince of Zhenguo, wiped out the remnants of the Donglin rebel party entrenched in the southern provinces, and took the opportunity to rectify the military equipment and the rule of officials in various places.
After this drastic change, civil and military officials in various parts of the south would tremble at the sight of the name of Zhenguo Gong, while the people welcomed and sincerely supported him. The people in the south of the Ming Dynasty can be described as a hero to Liu Yunwei, the prince of Zhenguo, and the people should see the hope of the rebirth of the Ming Dynasty and the hope of the Ming Dynasty from this upheaval!
