"What's going on outside, it's so noisy, it's insulting!"

Hearing a louder noise than before, those who were already indignant in their chests finally picked up the wine jug and walked out, but as soon as they opened the door, they were immediately dumbfounded.

"Who are you?"

The gentleman's mouth opened wide, and the wine jug in his hand fell off unconsciously, but fortunately, the other party reacted quickly to catch it, and standing outside the door was a group of men in blue strong clothes and shiny waist knives in their hands.

Song Zhengyu may have been a little drunk, but he was not afraid, lying on the table, and snorted coldly:

"What are you doing here?"

The leader directly raised his neck and poured the few remaining koi into his stomach, smashed his mouth a few times, and pushed the man who opened the door to the side savagely, and shouted.

"Isn't this a great talent in the clouds!"

He smiled and said:

"We are ordered by the top to catch the thieves who are demagogic and deceitful, and they happen to be in this house, so let's go with us, so as not to be rude!"

The scholars suddenly slapped the table with the strength of the wine, and vaguely said that the Security Department was not the secretary of the imperial court, and that there was no authority to arrest people at all, and they also said that they would jointly write to the court to sue Anton Hou Wang for the exclusion of dissidents.

In the eyes of everyone in the Security Division, this was like a big joke, and the little leader took a few steps forward, walked up to the gentleman who had just said that he was the most happy, looked at his long shirt, and said with a smile:

"Isn't this Zhu Neng and Zhu Dacai of Jiangnan Yingshe! Why, why was your club leader arrested by our brothers in the security department a while ago, and you don't have a long memory? ”

After Zhu Neng heard this, he immediately felt that he was sober up and down, and then took a few steps back, his face full of fear and fear.

The little leader walked back and forth in the pavilion, took out a piece of paper in his hand, and said with words:

"Well, Zhexi Literary Society, Jiangbei Third Society, Wulin Reading Society... Tsk, this time you want our security department to catch them all, right? ”

The unscrupulous words of the little leader of the security department made the talents in the cabinet sober up all of a sudden, and some even wanted to get out of the door.

But when they compete with the people in the security department, they are really powerless, and they can even hold them firmly in their hands with a little effort.

The Security Department relied on calligraphy, paintings, and poems engraved everywhere in Nanjing City to make some false accusations, and wantonly arrested the members of various literary societies under the name of the Fu Society.

Xiucai encounters soldiers, and it is always unreasonable, and the people in the security department will not give you any chance at all.

At first, they were all small minions, and these talented people from various literary societies didn't have any long-term concept at all, and after hearing it, they often just pondered how to relieve their anger in their chests and think about how to retaliate for making a big fuss, and did not discuss in depth Wang Zheng's motives for doing so.

There are many scholars in the Military Council who are not from the Donglin Restoration Society, and the sons of Donglin control the official road, and they have no way to serve the country, so they choose the Shandong Military Council.

These scholars have a deep hatred for the sons of Donglin, know them very well, and want to replace the position of the Fushe in the scholar class.

Relatively speaking, Wang Zheng is the only possibility for them to turn over, and Wang Zheng will not beat the traditional Chinese culture to death because of a fish in Donglin, so he naturally wants to cultivate scholars who are loyal to him.

In view of the habit of resuming the society, the staff officers of the Military Parliament Department were sure of a result, that is, if the security department began to arrest people, after a long time, the resumption of the society would inevitably start to hold meetings to discuss how to make a big move.

Their big move was precisely the best time for the Shandong army to make a move.

Wang Zheng ordered the security department to arrest the scholars, on the one hand, because of their demagogy of the people, and the most important thing is that these people are not half useful at all, and if they want to gain a foothold in Jiangnan, the Donglin Restoration Society must get rid of them first.

According to the poem, the arrest of scholars was not Wang Zheng's desire, but the ultimate goal was to provoke their anger and induce the main literary society under the Fushe to start a meeting and destroy it in one fell swoop.

This is no different from the modern police smashing drug trafficking dens, arresting a single drug dealer is never the goal, the main thing is to use their last value to wipe out the enemy.

There are more than a dozen scholars on this floor, Hou Fangyu, the leader of the Restoration Society, Song Zhengyu, the great talent of the Three Societies in Yunjian, and almost all the core members of the other major dozen societies.

The people in the security department are too lazy to talk nonsense, and directly put the knife on the neck, see how many you are not afraid of death.

It's a little ridiculous to say, these scholars who talk about it on weekdays, in the end, there are few who are not afraid of death, and there are many who are scared to pee their pants and can't walk, including that Song Zhengyu, who finally endured a commotion and carried it back.

There are only four people who are really not afraid of death, except for Li Wen, only Mao Xiang, Chen Zhenhui, and Fang Yizhi, who are the fourth sons of Hou Fangyu, are waiting for death with their heads held high.

Of course, the security department is just to scare them, and will not really use the knife, and in the end, whether they want to or not, they are forcibly carried back by a few big men.

From the formulation of the plan by the Military Parliament Department, to the approval of Anton Waiting for Wang Zheng, and then to the step-by-step implementation of the Security Division, it can be said that the Shandong Army has been planning for more than three months in order to destroy the resumption of the society.

Up to now, even if these gentlemen have worn out their mouths, the people of the Security Department will never let one of them go, and it must be successfully completed both in public and private.

After the destruction of the Restoration Society, the vitality of the Donglin Group was greatly damaged, so that the attached Shandong soldiers could take advantage of the situation to control half of the country, and the Shandong Army could truly gain a foothold in the south of the Yangtze River.

......

In August of the 16th year of Chongzhen's reign, the General Administration of the Security Department under the jurisdiction of the Shandong Army was moved to Nanjing, and three months later, in early November, it acted quickly and captured more than a dozen scholars of the Literary Society, including Hou Fangyu and Song Zhengyu, the leaders of the Restoration Society, which caused a sensation in Nanjing.

It is said that among the scholars in the cabinet at that time, only Chen Zilong, Li Wen, Mao Xiang, Chen Zhenhui, and Fang Yizhi were safe and sound, and they were all famous people with both integrity and talent.

They were all arranged in a secluded courtyard, surrounded by Shandong soldiers, and although they could not get out, at least they were much better than staying in prison.

In November, the Security Division, in coordination with the battalions of the Shandong Army, began to arrest the remnants of the Fushe in the territory of Nanzhili.

This time it was really indiscriminate, and there were even cases of rushing directly to the house and kicking in the door, tying people up and escorting them out.

Only four months after the Shandong army occupied Nanjing, Fengyang Prefecture, Luzhou Prefecture, Zhenjiang Prefecture, Taiping Prefecture, and the rest of the prefectures and counties around Nanjing almost all surrendered.

In the past four months, Wang Zheng wiped out the famous Donglin Restoration Society, sent people to visit dozens of lecture sites under the Supervision and Restoration Society, arrested lecturers, and waited until Nanjing sent someone to serve as a new lecturer before teaching again.

On 11 November, another shocking news came from Nanjing.

Anton Hou Wang Zheng renamed the Shandong Military Council Department as the Staff Office, with Li Yan, the former Left Military Council, as the first chief of staff, and Qingtian, the former Right Army Council, as the first special adviser.

The staff officers of the former General Staff Office of the Military Council Department were promoted to staff on the spot, the establishment of the staff office was abolished, and each staff member managed ten staff officers, and there was a separate place for consultation and office.

The establishment of the six divisions of participating in politics, joining the army, participating in finance, participating in business, participating in officials, and participating in education was abolished, and the directors of each department were promoted to government affairs advisers, military affairs advisers, financial advisers, business advisers, official affairs advisers and academic affairs advisers, and agricultural affairs consultants were added.

Each consultant manages 10 trainee consultants, also with a separate office location.

The Staff Office has seven departments: military affairs, government affairs, finance, commerce, official affairs, academic affairs, and agricultural affairs, with Gu Junen, former director of the General Staff Office of the Military Affairs Department, as the head of the military affairs department.

Under the six departments, there are various sections.

For example, the Ministry of Military Affairs is in charge of the promotion, appointment, dismissal, and overall planning of military merits for soldiers, regular soldiers, and foreign soldiers.

In addition, the Urban Management Bureau was added, which was under the jurisdiction of the Department of Gathering and Farming, the Department of Salt Seizure and the Department of Security.

The Gathering and Cultivation Division is in charge of the affairs of the farms in various places, and the Salt Suppression Division is mainly located in Shandong and coastal towns near the river, and continues to grasp the salt affairs in its hands.

While most of the rest have increased and been promoted, the Security Department has been downgraded, and the Salt Investigation Department and the Gathering and Cultivation Department have been divided into powers, and basically only responsible for the security work of each town.

Of course, this system is still in the very beginning, and there will definitely be a more perfect system in the future, but Wang Zheng has not thought of it yet.

What happened on November 11, the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, had a great impact on the Shandong army and even the entire world, and it was from this that Wang Zheng really had a relatively perfect system and gradually got on the right track.

This event, known as the establishment of the "Double 11 Regime" or the "Nanjing Regime", was also the first step taken by Wang Zheng to create a greater foundation in the future.
