Li Guozhu had fought with Huang Sheng many times before, and in his memory, Emperor Zhongxing was not easy to kill at all.

When the Emperor Zhongxing faced the pirates, he was willing to open his side, and chose to surrender without a fight as much as possible, why was he so vicious when he started to deal with the Japanese people?

At this time, Shi Changjin and Yan Yingyuan, as well as Sun Jiuge and Cheng Shiju, were also watching the raging fire that burned half of the sky from a high watchtower.

No one spoke, and the atmosphere was a little eerie, and each of the four of them used their binoculars to look at the vanishing city of Edo.

Liang Jiushi exchanged gold and said: "Gather generals, this lord wants to announce some discipline." ”

The sound of trumpets and cannons was like thunder, and the drums and horns were camped, and soon the Chinese army was gathered in the big tent, and the expressions on the faces of the generals were rich, and they were all speculating that after tonight, there would be a few Japanese people in Edo Castle who would survive.

Shi Changjin didn't have any greetings, and said straight to the point: "Generals, Benjue has formulated a fire attack plan, and you are all executors, and the merit is borne by Benjue alone."

You have all seen the tragedy of Edo Castle, and this fire was even more tragic than the slaughter of the castle. The Eastern Crusade Army faced the imperial history, and it was obvious that it could not escape the impeachment in the matter. Benjue wants you to keep in mind that the plan of fire attack is made by Benjue alone. ”

Obviously, the lord will try his best to bear the name of killing, the generals looked at each other, and after a while, Li Guozhu laughed and said: "Benjue is a sea coward who started by licking blood with a knife head on the sea, he doesn't know what heaven and humanity are, and he is not afraid to bear the notoriety of killing, this plan should come from Benjue." ”

Zheng Sen crossed the crowd and said: "Everyone, listen to Benjue's words, my Zheng family's reputation in the Ming Dynasty is already infamous, such an indiscriminate killing should naturally be the Zheng family's big hand, you don't want to take credit from the Zheng family." ”

The generals are not afraid of things, they all said that they are willing to carry the black pot, and no one mentioned that this plan was made by Emperor Zhongxing himself.

Because everyone has the courage to take responsibility, everyone is red-faced, and a high degree of unity cannot be reached for a while.

Shi Changjin saw that his subordinates were rushing to show their loyalty, but it was not easy to participate in it, so they could only start to coordinate, and finally the generals reached a consensus, and Zheng Sen would carry this big black cauldron.

His family's reputation has become stinky anyway, and the Zheng family has no intention of returning to their hometown and settling in Fujian, and they are very satisfied with the island they live on now.

Zheng Sen thought that since the fire had been lit, he should give enough time to make it burn more violently, and the besieging army would not move like a mountain, and kill the shogunate troops who rushed out of the sea of fire one by one without taking them prisoner.

In this way, the fire continued to burn for seven days and seven nights, and in the end, few survivors survived, and Edo Castle completely disappeared from the map, leaving only a pile of scorched earth.

A month later, tens of thousands of Tartars, Kennu, and Goryeo sticks were approved, and they came to the ruins of Edo Castle to treasure for treasures, because more than half of the precious metals stored in the entire Wa Kingdom were stored in Edo Castle, and now they were burned and scattered in the ashes.

Today's Tartars, Jiannu, and Goryeo sticks saw Zheng Sen's calves shaking, and it was conservatively estimated that there were more than 500,000 soldiers and civilians in Edo Castle.

Too many Tartars and Jiannu have been educated, and they no longer have illusions, and they are determined to sinicize well and strive to become Han people integrated into the Ming Dynasty, because they find that only by becoming Han people will they usher in a happy life.

Tens of thousands of people searched for gold and silver under the supervision of Zheng Sen, and no one dared to hide gold and silver privately, and finally the precious metals obtained by the Eastern Expedition army exceeded 50 million taels of silver.

At the same time, the Ming army's military operations on the main island of the Wa Kingdom were devastating, and the resistance encountered was not worth mentioning, of course, as a result of the gathering and annihilation of the daimyo samurai loyal to the shogunate in one fell swoop at Edo Castle, and at the end of the year, the entire Wa Kingdom was declared to have become the Great Ming Shin Land.

In the vast Siberia, many Japanese people brought their families to serve in front of the army, and they worked hard to get the praise of the Ming army, and strive to become Sinicization activists and be given the status of free people.

The colonies in the Americas also accepted many Japanese people who came to work while Sinicizing, and with these people joining the construction army, several key projects changed with each passing day.

Chongzhen, who became the king of Daming Xin, lived a very fulfilling life, he felt respect for Emperor Zhongxing's attitude towards him, and he did not be arrogant when he knew etiquette, righteousness and shame, on the contrary, he was more cautious in the courtesy of monarchs and ministers.

Qin Liangyu led the Sichuan army to support him and re-ascend to the great treasure did not make Zhu Youzhen make him dizzy, he solved this hidden danger without blood, and now the loyal Qin Liangyu has become the minister of the humerus of the Zhongxing Emperor.

Soon after, Zhu Youzhen was entrusted with the important task of presiding over the trial of the pseudo-"Dashun" and other criminals, and the power of life and death was all handed over to him.

Zhu Youzhen opened a public court for the common people to come in and observe, and openly tried the puppet "Dashun" emperor and all the big leaders who had been fighting for several months.

Zhu Youzhen likes to be happy and revenge the most, the Ming Dynasty is establishing a legal society, no one can judge the life and death of others with a sentence, and the treatment of rogues is no exception.

King Xin, who strives to make a difference, of course, wants to uphold the dignity of the law, and he wants to handle the cases he handles into ironclad cases, and strive to become model cases and become the sentencing standard for similar cases in the future.

After Zhu Youzhen's personal examination, the puppet "Dashun" emperor and a gang of thieves who were finally sent to Huang Sheng for execution were convicted of crimes against humanity, separatism, war crimes, robbery, rape, and other crimes with conclusive evidence.

The thieves have done a lot of evil, and it is impossible to write about it, and it is possible to commit all the crimes in the world, which can be described as heinous crimes, and the destruction of the nine clans is not enough to comfort those military and civilian officials who died in vain.

Huang Sheng agreed with King Xin's verdict in principle, but in fact, he also let Zhu Youzhen carry all the black cauldrons that were easy to kill.

Since the eighteenth day of the lunar month, executions have been carried out every day at the entrance of the vegetable market in the capital.

Because the bones of the thieves who were sentenced to be cut by a thousand knives were as high as more than 100, and King Xin was a more serious master, he had to personally supervise the execution, and he had to cut Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin, Song Xiance and other more than a dozen Class-A war criminals with 3,600 knives, and not a single knife was missing.

Since this is a technical job, it really has to be done until the Chinese New Year.

During this period, King Xin received a holy decree from the Emperor Zhongxing, the content of which was due to the secret knot of the imperial concubine Zhu Yujiao, and the emperor's longyan Dayue pardoned the pseudo-"Dashun" Marquis Li Guo, who was sentenced to 1,200 knives.

The emperor left Li Guo with a life and changed the sentence to exile to the new territory of the Ming Dynasty in North America, "Tang City", which should be Los Angeles in the United States in the future.

The Ming colonization of the Americas is the trend of the times, and now it has won a large territory on the west coast, and more than a dozen cities are about to rise from the ground, and "Tang City" is just one of them.

The imperial concubine was pregnant, and the emperor pardoned a person for a capital crime, and the king did not resist the decree and did not insist on acting in accordance with the law.

Because God has the virtue of a good life, the Ming law clearly stipulates that the supreme imperial power can have a quota of pardoning three death row prisoners every year, and it is reasonable for the Emperor Zhongxing to pardon only one person.

Seeing that the ruthless people who once robbed homes and houses together have become soft bones under the endless criticism, Li Guo can only pretend to be a grandson, who knows that even so, he will not die well.

He saw Liu Zongmin being cut by a thousand knives with his own eyes, and he couldn't help but die of a rabbit and a fox, but the Ming army was too strict to guard, and there was no possibility of committing suicide, and it was really uncomfortable to wait for himself to be cut by a thousand knives in despair.

In the moment before it was Ling Chi Li's turn, King Xin, who he was already quite familiar with, looked at him with a smile and a playful look.

was often interrogated by Zhu Youzhen, Li Guo knew the former Emperor Chongzhen, and he had long known that it must be miserable to fall into his hands, but he didn't expect that the situation would be even worse when it came to the end.

Zhu Youzhen took out the holy decree and read it, waiting for Li Guo, who had been stabbed by 1,200 knives, to be completely petrified, and then all his self-esteem and backbone were thrown by him to the country of Jawa.

He knelt down and kowtowed like pounding garlic, and while crying, he shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, the sinner Li Guo is grateful to Dade, and he must be a man again." Woowoo woo ......"

The rest of the thieves who were scheduled to be executed and accompanied by today's execution seemed to have found a life-saving straw, and all of them kowtowed, and no one was an exception.

Among them is the obscene man Li One-eyed, they all begged the wise and benevolent emperor to give him a way out, they no longer dare to kill officials and rebel and recruit peace, they must change their minds and be a good citizen.

It's a pity that there are no eggs, who should be chopped three thousand six will never be cut one thousand two, Chongzhen has always been principled, even if he is the king of the letter again, he can't lose the tradition.

……

Spring goes to spring and back, time flies like a white horse, and in a blink of an eye, the first year of Zhongxing in the Ming Dynasty has come.

After the jubilant Spring Festival of the whole country is over the Lantern Festival, on the eighteenth day of the first month, the king of letters, Zhu rushed down to the south of the Yangtze River by the order of the emperor, and he shouldered the mission to go to Nanzhili to check the household registration, measure the acres of land, re-issue the land deed, and sort out the household registration.

Doctor Jiangnan Shi may get into trouble, because King Xin wants to start the old accounts in the first year of Chongzhen, and during this period, he will take the initiative to pay the land tax and Ding tax in the past, and the landlord chaebol who is found to have evaded taxes will be fined from one to ten times according to the severity of the situation.

The Yellow River Valley, which has been plagued by the scourge of the gangsters, is in ruins, and the amount of funds that need to be invested is huge, and it is the only way to open up sources and reduce expenditures, and it can be regarded as a small robbery of the rich and helping the poor by attacking the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River.

Flies don't bite seamless eggs, if the Jiangnan gentry didn't have a shortage, the imperial grain and national taxes would be happy, otherwise even the bile water that was eaten would have to be spit out for Lao Tzu.

The person who came to take charge of this errand must be a thorn in the head, and he must be a nervous person who does his own thing and does not look at anyone's face, because Shanghai Rui has not been able to complete this work in history, which shows how deep the water is here.

Who will take such a heavy responsibility? Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, who hated the scholars of the "Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty" to the bones, is the most suitable. He didn't need Huang Sheng to be deliberately isolated, as soon as he appeared in the New Ming Dynasty, he was a lonely minister.

What is a lonely minister? Under normal circumstances, it refers to ministers who are loyal to the emperor without party or faction and are only responsible to the emperor.

Between the identity of Emperor Chongzhen before King Xin, the ministers of the new Ming Dynasty made friends with him in order to avoid suspicion, and Zhu Youzhen, who had experienced the vicissitudes of life, of course knew this situation.

He simply put aside his feelings and worked hard, handled government affairs in strict accordance with the imperial court system, and treated things not right for people, which meant that no one would be given face. Of course, the arrogant Zhu Youzhen can't give face to anyone.

Emperor Zhongxing gave enough power to let King Xin go to Nanzhili to toss, in order to cooperate with his work, he sent five thousand brocade guards to call him, only one is the bottom line, the tax collection work is still to ask for money and not to die, and the most heinous people can not be killed, and the exile of the three tribes to colonize the Americas is the highest punishment.

Huang Sheng knew Zhu Youzhen and knew his character, if he didn't put a tight spell on him, it was possible that when Zhu Youzhen found out that the national taxes stolen by the old rich man of the Jiangnan landlord were enough to bear the salary for 20 years, he might be so angry that he might kill the Jiangnan gentry with blood.

Time has passed, the funniest thing is just that, the original Emperor Chongzhen is the first able minister and the first cool official of the court of the Zhongxing Emperor, and many seemingly tricky major things, Zhu Youzhen has handled them perfectly.

Nowadays, Zhu Youzhen is a lonely minister who is only loyal to Huang Sheng, and he dares to kill any official eunuch who dares to infringe on the interests of the Ming Dynasty.
