Chapter 1271 Who Can Believe Kneel and beg for subscription
"Humph!"
Sun Chuanting snorted coldly, he knew today, why bother in the first place!
"Come on, kill all these moths of the Ming Kingdom, and leave no one behind!"
Sun Chuanting shouted, and immediately, led by Qiu Dangkou, Sun Keying, and Xu Wannian, a group of soldiers raised knives to kill those squires and wealthy families.
These squires and wealthy families have been pampered for a long time, and they have long been unable to carry them on their shoulders and in their hands, and in front of Qiu Dangkou, these perennial soldiers, it is really easier than killing pigs and slaughtering sheep.
"Ahh "Ahh "Murder, help!"
"Sun Chuanting rebelled, Sun Chuanting rebelled!"
"Sun Chuanting, you dog thief, even if I turn into a ghost, I won't let you go, I want to eat your flesh and drink your blood!" ,,,
Those squires saw that they couldn't hide and beat, so they had to shout and curse loudly before they died, so as to vent for the last time.
Sun Chuanting just turned a deaf ear to their swearing, and his face still had the usual indifferent expression, this scene was just a small scene for him, where would he care.
Speaking from the heart, in fact, Sun Chuanting didn't want to come to this point, after all, these people are all big squires, and the relationship behind them is intertwined, killing so many of them at once, they must be suspicious by the emperor, and then framed by those bigwigs in the DPRK and China, at that time, he Sun Chuanting was also worried about his life!
Personal life and death, Sun Chuanting does not take it too seriously, if he is really greedy for life and afraid of death, he will not go out of the mountain.
Sun Chuanting is worried that the bandits have not been cleared, and when they comeback, they are afraid that the Ming Dynasty will be in danger of overturning!
Therefore, Sun Chuanting talked to these squires and rich families in a good voice at the beginning, as long as they got together and donated almost all the money and food needed by the army, he would not be too embarrassed.
But who would have thought that these people would be bold enough to dare to burn down the office premises of the government, such crimes, as long as the crime is conclusive, it is a great rebellion, and the crime of the Zhu clan is not a pity to die!
Helplessly, they did it cleanly, and Sun Chuanting couldn't catch their handle and couldn't convict them.
At this point, Sun Chuanting was also forced into a dead end, if he stopped here, then his trilateral governor would undoubtedly be in vain.
In this way, how can we talk about the great cause of suppressing bandits!
So today, Sun Chuanting made a move and killed them, even if he would be questioned by Emperor Chongzhen in the future, he would not hesitate to do so.
But before that, Sun Chuanting still has to do one thing for Emperor Chongzhen and one thing for Daming, that is, to kill the rice fat giant thief Wanhua, as long as he sees Wanhua's head in front of him, Sun Chuanting can rest assured that he can go on the road!
"My lord, all the people have been killed, please take a look!"
Qiu Dangkou came to Sun Chuanting covered in blood, knelt on one knee, and said solemnly with a fist.
"Good, bury them all."
"Yes!"
Qiu Dangkou agreed, and then went down to do it.
After Qiu Dangkou left, Sun Chuanting immediately called Qu Shiyun and Sun Keying again, and said to them: "Brother Qitian, I bother you to confiscate these people's property. Sun Keying, you lead the troops to assist. But in case of obstruction, regardless of men, women and children, all of them will be killed, this matter must be done within half a month, and there is no suspicion of slow military aircraft! ”
"Brother understands." "The last general obeys!"
Qu Shiyun and Sun Keying solemnly took over the task, and then did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately went straight to the homes of these rich squires and began to confiscate their property.
These people don't look at the big business, but they don't have the backbone, no one has an idea, and Sun Chuanting's iron-fisted methods, this raid on the family property is naturally going very smoothly, but in half a month, more than 100 squires have been cleared, and at the same time, the prisons are also overcrowded.
These people are the family members of those squires and wealthy families, some of them were killed on the spot because they took the lead in resisting, and the rest were imprisoned for checking them one by one and recovering for omissions.
By the time Qu Shiyun handed over the matter to Sun Chuanting, he had already confiscated more than 133,000 taels of gold and more than 5.3 million taels of silver.
This is not counting those jewels and jade, antique calligraphy and paintings, farmland and farmland, if these are sold one by one, the value is even more immeasurable!
So it's a joke that Daming has no money, it's just the court that has no money, and it's just the emperor who has no money, and these local clans, wealthy families, they are very rich.
Of course, this is not surprising, who called the tax system of Daming so perverted!
The rich basically do not have to pay taxes, and almost all of them do not have to pay any land taxes, agricultural taxes, and commercial taxes.
And what about the poor, the common people who farmed the land, but they had to bear the expenses of almost the entire empire!
If Emperor Chongzhen knew that after his death in history, Li Zicheng could confiscate more than 70 million taels of cash in the capital, and the treasures and antiques were not counted, would he count such an account: If I cut these people, the 70 million taels of silver, as well as the countless treasures and antiques, all fell into my hands, and I declared that the world was exempt for ten years, then Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong would not be able to make a fuss, and they would not be able to hang themselves!
To get back to the point, as for the grain, Qu Shiyun also seized nearly 450,000 stones, and these grains have now filled all the originally empty treasury of the various prefectures!
Seven million taels of silver, 450,000 stone grain and grass, so much money and grain far exceeded Sun Chuanting's expectations, even that Qu Shiyun, that is also unbelievable, I have to verify it again and again, and finally believe it!
Who would have thought that after the turmoil of Guanzhong two years ago, now it is only able to recover some vitality, and now it can be seized so much money and food, if you don't see it with your own eyes, who can believe it!
"Brother Xian, now that the money and food you have obtained is far enough to satisfy your war, Brother Xian can finally compete with the giant thief of rice fat!"
Qu Shiyun was very excited in his heart, in his heart, he cared about Wanhua no less than Sun Chuanting, and even said that it was a little more than Sun Chuanting.
Now that the money and food that plagued Sun Chuanting have been solved, and the army of bandits can finally start to assemble, how can Qu Shiyun not be excited!
At this time, Qu Shiyun seemed to have seen the scene of the head of the giant thief!
"Yes, we can finally assemble our army! This is our only chance, success or failure, this is the only time! It's okay to succeed, my brother may be able to survive, if he fails, then,"
Speaking of which, Sun Chuanting couldn't say it anymore, because he knew that once he was defeated, it was estimated that he would be killed by Emperor Chongzhen!
