Chapter 289: Capturing Zuo Liangyu Alive
After a day's boat ride, Zhu Youxiao was also a little dizzy, and after landing on his feet, he still felt a little dizzy, and he didn't feel a little more steady until he walked a few steps. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
What greeted Zhu Youxiao's eyes was the boundless Jingchu Plain, the Dongchang Fanzi in white clothes and white boots was in an arc in front, and Zhu Youzhen and Ye Zhen each led their Praetorian Guards on the left and right sides.
Li Mingrui, a member of the Cabinet University, and Wang Chengen, the master of ceremonies, stood respectfully aside.
The maid Ling Xiang was wearing a Guanyin pocket and stood behind Zhu Youxiao, due to the influence of the climate of Xiaoice River and the fact that it was now late September, even with Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but shrink her neck, Ling Xin saw this and hurriedly pulled his towel belt, smiling like a flower.
The fertile fields are fertile, the shepherd boy rides the bull, the mulberry is mixed with the vegetation in Qianmo, the sun sets, and everything is silent.
Looking at everything in front of him, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but smile, this is the tranquility and tranquility that the Great Tomorrow Qi Dynasty should have, and the rebellion of Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, is just a stone falling into a calm and waveless lake, stirring up a little splash.
From the premeditated uprising of the king of Chu, to the preparation of the uprising, and then to the direct uprising, in less than ten days, it was pacified overnight due to the rapid intelligence response system of Dongchang and the powerful mobile force of the Praetorian Guard.
But this is not a war worth celebrating, and it is not even worth being credited, but Zhu Youxiao still let the Daming Daily hype up the matter, and also took advantage of the delay of space and time to tell the local vassal kings through the Daming Daily that the king of Chu had rebelled, and had gathered 100,000 troops to occupy Wu0 Changcheng, and there was a great tendency to control Hongdu in the south and approach Jinling.
Zhu Youxiao's purpose was naturally to make those dishonest vassal kings jump out in advance, so as to take advantage of this to cut off these restless vassal kings, of course, the fundamental purpose was to deprive them of their excessive social resources, including their special treatment in politics and economy.
Zhu Youxiao is not afraid of big things, the vassal kings of the late Ming Dynasty are not the feudal towns of the late Tang Dynasty, even if they are tigers, they are tigers without minions, if they are not forced or want to encroach on their interests, it is difficult for them to rebel against the central court or do something other excessive.
But don't let them get something out of it, and give them any reason to take away the social resources they occupy and distribute them to the people at the bottom, or abolish their right to continue to live legally and parasitize, so that they too can become producers of this society.
There is no need to worry about whether there will be other forces that will unite with them and use their political advantages to rebel, after all, the current Ming Dynasty is not the last years of Chongzhen where social contradictions are extremely acute.
Now, with Sun Chengzong's suppression of the strong relief of the victims in the northwest region and the implementation of the new policy of apportioning the land into the mu, coupled with his repeated exemption from local taxes, and the direct and permanent abolition of forced labor, it can be said that the survival pressure of ordinary people is greatly reduced, of course, not only in the northwest, but also in the northwest of the country, the large agricultural provinces that are concentrated in the peasant concentration area are also the concentration of rebellion in Shandong, Fengyang and other places are also implementing the new policy of benefiting the common people and the strong, and the social contradictions have been greatly reduced compared with the seven years of the Apocalypse. A series of incidents such as the bloody suppression of literati in Jiangnan will not happen so easily, and they are all controlled by Zhu Youxiao, and there is no major turmoil, there is naturally only one reason, that is, the current people do not want to rebel, they are very satisfied with the current life, and what really wants to mess up the world is the vested interests who have lost their privileges, but they cannot find supporters, and they are labeled as bullying the monarch and rebelling by the imperial court as soon as they emerge slightly.
Zhu Youxiao knew that they were very aggrieved, and they had to endure their anger, and secretly they didn't know what they had become like as a monarch, maybe they only expected a wolf from the north (such as the Manchu Qing in history) to take away their own country, and then they blatantly smeared themselves in the annals of history, such as scolding themselves as a carpenter emperor or something.
Therefore, for these vassal kings, Zhu Youxiao is not afraid that they will make trouble, but he is afraid that they will not make trouble, and it is okay if they make trouble, he can justifiably deprive them of their privileges, and even not killing them only shows the benevolence of his emperor.
According to the urgent express report from Dongchang, King Fu of Kai 0, the acting king of Shanxi 0, and the king of Dong Lu of Shanxi began to respond after learning of the rebellion of Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, or secretly made preparations, at least sending a secret envoy to contact Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, which means that you King Chu do this righteous thing, I support it, and if you ask for money, you will really become the emperor one day, don't do it with Zhu Youxiao, like our own family.
But they didn't know that these restless actions would become proof that Zhu Youxiao would arrest them in the future.
Wu 0 Chang City was occupied by the Janissaries immediately after the implementation of temporary military management, because the left army and the royal army looted Wu 0 Chang City, causing great loss of life and property to the people, so, Zhu Youxiao directly ordered to detain all the captured rebels, and set up a temporary military justice office, by the local people to charge, if there is a violator, directly shot!
"Your Majesty, the latest news from Fu Dahai is that except for the King of Chu himself, the rest of the people in the Chu Palace, including his family members and Miss Wei, have been controlled, and the officials in Huguang and the officers and soldiers who took advantage of the chaos during this period have also been arrested, waiting for a public trial by the Provisional Military Justice Department."
Zhu Youxiao nodded obediently, then turned around and ordered Li Mingrui to rush to Wuchang City first to preside over the trial of the Military Judge Advocate General's Department, after all, this kind of public trial in the face of the people also needs a literati like Li Mingrui to mobilize and instigate, otherwise the people don't know how to accuse these officials and soldiers.
At the same time, Zhu Youxiao asked again: "What about Ruan Dacheng and Zuo Liangyu who participated in the rebellion?" ”
"Ruan Dacheng is now as missing as Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, and Zuo Liangyu is the same, it is reported that he and his subordinates actually broke through successfully and ran in the direction of Xiangyang, and the Fuhai Department and Qin Botong's Department are stepping up the search and pursuit", Hearing Wu Jin say this, Zhu Youxiao did not mean to blame, but ordered: "The three first criminals must be arrested and brought to justice, and the official decree will be issued to the government offices all over the country, and the reward for the arrest of these three people will be offered!" For Zuo Liangyu, he also invented an order to the local health offices, be sure to capture this thief, no matter whether he lives or dies, once he is caught, he will be escorted into Wu0chang Mansion immediately, and give an explanation to the people of Huguang! ”
As soon as Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, he saw a horse coming in front of him, and seeing that he had entered the guard line set up by the Praetorian Guard and Dongchang, the man jumped off his horse and shouted: "Zuo Liangyu has been captured alive!" All its remnants have been annihilated, and now they have been escorted to the Wuchang Mansion Prison! ”
Zuo Liangyu was captured alive? After Zhu Youxiao heard the news, he couldn't help but sneer, after all, this person can be regarded as a famous figure in the history of the late Ming Dynasty, but now he was captured by himself when he had not fully risen, and the crime was also treason, but this time he did not have the opportunity to die of old age in advance, and had to face the sanctions of the imperial court.
