The procession slowly approached the Imperial City like a flood, and the momentum became louder and louder. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Chen Mingxia and other literati held their heads high and their chests held high, and walked in front with a group of people in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner.

On their heads were banners several feet long, and the parade slogans on the banners resounded throughout Jinling City through their duck-like shouts.

In addition, there are people holding a white board with a big word "injustice" written on it!

There are even big-character posters such as Li Mingrui, and no one knows how these people came up with these.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was not uncommon to find a lot of new things sometimes.

But every time they pass through an alley, the alley becomes a mess, and the high-end restaurants of the Ming Dynasty with the latest glass are smashed to pieces.

The blue-gray walls were also full of insults, and I don't know whose big water tank was smashed, and the water flowed all over the ground, wetting the grain in the grain shop next door.

Of course, the grain from the grain shop next door was not spared, and the rice as white as pearls rolled to the ground, and only the shopkeeper knelt on the ground and cried.

Zhu Youxiao already knew that there would be today's demonstrations in the Lishui Pavilion, and coupled with the Dongchang recital, it was already expected that such demonstrations would occur in various prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River.

Wu Jin also asked whether to arrest the ringleaders who secretly planned this matter first, but Zhu Youxiao did not agree.

Zhu Youxiao knew very well that this demonstration was not just the result of the instigation of literati such as the Fushe, at least the root cause, but the dissatisfaction of the people in Jiangnan with the court and society had reached a threshold, and even without the instigation of these literati, this contradiction would have erupted.

Moreover, the closer the repression, the greater the harm of the outbreak.

Rather than this, it is better to take advantage of the fact that you can still handle such a situation with ease and the war in the north tends to calm down, so that this social contradiction can directly erupt, and how to survive without death!

But this does not mean that Zhu Youxiao is not prepared to allow such a march to continue, continuing to destroy the foundation of the city.

Zhu Youxiao didn't intend to let these threats that he could control the people of Jiangnan more than himself always exist, if he wanted to eradicate these people, he had to make things bigger and resort to force!

On the one hand, Zhu Youxiao issued an order urging the two battalions of the Praetorian Guard led by Qin Botong to enter Jinling City as quickly as possible.

At the same time, he ordered Wu Jin, the head of the Dongchang Factory, to immediately gather all the Dongchang fans in the Jiangnan region to arrest the planners and instigators of the demonstrations at any time.

In addition, Liu Kongzhao's garrison troops and the servants of the yamen in various places were temporarily organized by Zhu Youxiao as the public security force of Nan 0 Beijing (originally wanted to establish public security, for fear of being crabbed), with Liu Kongzhao as the temporary commander, responsible for maintaining order and protecting important strongholds such as the Royal Weaving Bureau.

After witnessing with his own eyes the vicious incidents of robbery and beatings that often occurred in the entire Jiangnan region with the connivance of officials and gentry at all levels, Zhu Youxiao wanted to set up a special force to avoid the shackles of the civilian government and fight crime professionally, that is to say, Zhu Youxiao wanted to take advantage of this to deprive the judicial and law enforcement powers from the civilian system.

The civil service system composed of the political envoys, the envoys of the procurators, the commanders of the prefectures, and the prefects and counties of Nanzhili was almost paralyzed at the moment, and they had no administrative ability.

This may be because they have deliberately connived at this parade in the first place, or maybe they are already powerless because they only know how to play the moon and are used to leaving all affairs to their own staff.

In this way, it also gave Zhu Youxiao the opportunity to take the opportunity to deprive them of their power in Jiangnan.

Liu Kongzhao can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, because of his defection in the Lishui Pavilion and his success in showing his face in front of His Majesty Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youxiao began to push him to the front.

Liu Kongzhao, a relative who controls a certain amount of military power, is now also a time when Zhu Youxiao needs to take advantage of it, especially in this situation where he almost tears his face with civilian officials, Zhu Youxiao doesn't care whether he Liu Kongzhao is a capable minister or not, but since he can leave his name in the long history of the late Ming Dynasty, he should not be a too ordinary person, at least he can protect his name.

Here, after Liu Kongzhao reported the current situation to Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youxiao nodded, and also heard a shout not far away.

But at this moment, he saw hundreds of officers and soldiers running frantically towards him, and one by one, these officers and soldiers seemed to have lost the battle, and some of them had already thrown their weapons on the ground, and even their felt hats had fallen to the ground, and they simply fled back in rout.

Behind them, hundreds of people were chasing and beating with sticks, and behind those people were Chen Mingxia and he suppressed a large group of soldiers all the way, who were still selflessly shouting their slogans.

"Down with the traitor Li Mingrui!"

"Return Dong Gong's innocence!"

"Ban the Royal Weaving Group!"

"It is also beneficial to the people, and the country is governed by leniency and benevolence!"

……

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao hurriedly pulled Wei Min'er behind him, so as not to be frightened by the formation in front of her, and at the same time said to Liu Kongzhao: "You soldiers are very bad, even ordinary people can chase them and fight, if there is a foreign enemy invasion in the future, what will you do?" ”

Liu Kongzhao lowered his head a little embarrassed, these guards of his were naturally not as good as the combat effectiveness of the Praetorian Guards and the border army, because most of these guards were honest people.

The dishonest have already tried all kinds of ways to leave the barracks and make their own living.

And the people who can rush to the market to demonstrate near the imperial city are not good and honest people, so in the comparison between the two, that is, the demonstrator has the upper hand.

At this time, Chen Mingxia's side suddenly quieted down, and they all stood still, while Chen Mingxia stared at Zhu Youxiao with eyes like knives.

Zhu Youxiao didn't notice that Chen Mingxia was in this procession at this time, before the two battalions of the Praetorian Guard didn't come, Zhu Youxiao didn't want to have a head-on conversation with the procession, so he took Wei Min'er's fragrant shoulder and walked in the opposite direction, and ordered: "Go back to the palace immediately!" Ordered the commander Ye Zhen to assist Admiral Liu Kongzhao to strengthen the defense, strictly defend all important strongholds, and if necessary, kill a few lawbreakers to have a deterrent effect! ”

But Chen Mingxia suddenly stood up at this time and shouted loudly: "Everyone, the person in front of you is the traitor Li Mingrui, who killed our Dong Gong, and now he dares to come here to harm the woman of the good family, we can't let him succeed, we rush up, catch the traitor, and let him go to see Your Majesty!" ”

"yes, catch him!" A few people from the Chen family responded with more than a dozen indignant people rushing towards Zhu Youxiao's side first.

Immediately afterward, more people chased after them.

These crazy marches rushed towards Zhu Youxiao without any scruples like crazy bulls, and some of them directly began to pick up the weapons in their hands and smash them in this direction.

Seeing this, the Dongchang Fanzi who followed Hu stopped his footsteps, pulled out the long knife in his hand and killed these people, these Dongchang Fanzi are not the courageless soldiers of the Nanjing Public Security Force, as the emperor's cronies, they can't help but say, they rushed directly to kill.
