Chapter 252: Suppression

Liu Kongzhao's strength of soldiers and horses was too scummy, and Zhu Youxiao could no longer rely on them to play a role in maintaining order, so he asked them to act as a volunteer propaganda team to go to various neighborhoods to publicize. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

His Majesty the Emperor's decree had to be listened to, so Liu Kongzhao was now holding a big knife to guard against being besieged by these rebels, and on the other hand, he was holding a megaphone provided by the Royal Industrial Company, and shouted to these people under the escort of dozens of family members who also held cold broadswords:

"Fellow villagers, I am Liu Kongzhao, the governor of the public security affairs of Nan0 Beijing, and I am also the Earl Liu you often call me, please leave quickly for the sake of my face, and soon, the army of the imperial court will arrive, and when the time comes, it is equivalent to a great crime of rebellion for you to force Your Majesty like this!"

"Folks, leave quickly, Your Majesty has said that as long as you leave quickly, you can not be held accountable for your crimes, in addition, your Majesty also knows, now the Great Sikong Huo Master is already on the way to Jinling, he is here to do a big project in the south of the Yangtze River this time, when the time comes, you will not worry about no work to do, as long as you cooperate with the arrangements of the imperial court, the imperial court will give you satisfactory treatment!"

"Listen to my advice, folks, don't talk about the government and be deceived by him; The starting point of the court is all for you; Don't resist the court, don't accept the demagogy of some ill-intentioned people, once the army of the court arrives, it's too late! Are you willing to see your parents and your wives and children left alone? ”

Liu Kongzhao, who was usually in Jinling City and often used power on the heads of the people, did not have the frame of an earl at this time, so he had to persuade and beg bitterly.

And the other generals under his command are also persuading and begging in various places, but perhaps because the resentment caused by the oppression of the people for hundreds of years has been deep, and the credibility has seriously declined, or because they are fed up with the oppressed life and no one is willing to give up until the goal is really achieved, in short, there are not many people who are willing to leave on their own initiative.

On the contrary, it was the initiators in advance, that is, many of the literati who had been restored to the society withdrew first, and they had already made two preparations, and when they learned that the Praetorian Guards had arrived, they obediently left Jinling City, and even began to move to other places in the name of study tours.

But there are also some pedantic or stubborn people such as Wang Siren and Chen Jiru and other great Confucians are still protesters, they don't know that they have been used, but they are stubborn to redress Dong Qichang, but because they still insist, these people who take them as the weather vane also insist.

But they don't know that it was their persistence that led to a bloody massacre that shouldn't have happened.

……

Among the first batch of officers and students of the Praetorian Guard, Qin Botong has always acted decisively, and has become famous all over the world since the establishment of a provincial patrol in the eastern boundary of Shan0, and some newspapers and periodicals have described him as a court eagle dog no less vicious than the Dongchang Jinyi Guard! But there are also most military generals who take Qin Botong as their idol, just ask how many military attaches dare to kill civil officials today, even Qi Jiguang back then can only rely on the first assistant Zhang Juzheng, even if the official residence is a product, he was scolded by some imperial historians.

Qin Botong's soldiers don't pay attention to who their enemies are, they are just machines that strictly enforce the command procedure.

The flintlock-style three-eyed guns, modified by the Ordnance Division, were used for the first time, not on the battlefield on the outward, but towards these mixed processions.

Bursts of white smoke resounded through the rainy streets of Jinling City with the crackling sound of gunpowder explosions, and the marchers who tried to block the way of the Praetorian Guards tried for the first time the bloodshed of the state apparatus.

Zhu Youxiao's latest secret decree to Qin Botong once he entered the city and directly suppressed it militarily without asking the reason, he would first beat out the majesty of the imperial court, and be sure to beat these pampered people, so that they would know that the imperial court would not only be sympathetic and tolerant to them, but would also teach them the greatest lesson.

The reason why secret decrees cannot be made public, even in ancient times, a king's brazen massacre of the people was extremely cruel and intolerable.

However, the people are the people, and what they need is to be able to survive, not to rebel against a certain form of government, and most of them have begun to flee in all directions in the face of the violent machine, avoiding these indiscriminate killing armies.

Qin Botong did not let people pursue, after all, these are the people of the Ming Dynasty, and his Praetorian Guard is not the Manchu Eight Banners that entered the customs, there is no need to kill them all, and after defeating the people who tried to resist the imperial army, they immediately rushed towards the direction of Jiming Temple.

Eventually, most of the people could not resist the one-sided slaughter, and finally chose to hide or flee, and in an instant the procession began to disintegrate.

Some people are wailing, they didn't expect this to be the end, they are full of anger and don't know how to vent, and some even choose to commit suicide directly.

The squires who had served as their guides before were long gone, except for some young scholars who had proved their toughness as an elite because they were angry or impulsive when they fell in a pool of blood because of their youthful impulses, Chen Mingxia, Fang Dayou and others were on the shore of Taihu Lake at this time, and they were secretly glad that they had to retreat, otherwise they would be executed for rebellion with other scholars.

Zhu Youxiao here, Wu Jin, the head of the East Factory, hurriedly came to him and said: "Your Majesty, now that Qin Botong's department has entered Jinling City, the two battalions of his department have rushed here in an east-west direction, and the procession along the way has been broken through, and the casualties are estimated to be no less than thousand. ”

"Arrest immediately, pass on the order to Liu Kongzhao, and take his people to take advantage of the Praetorian Guards to break through the parade and immediately lock up the lawbreakers who took the opportunity to make trouble, they would rather catch three thousand by mistake than let one go, and arrest and retry first, including Wang Siren and Chen Jiru, these great Confucians!"

After Zhu Youxiao's decrees, the entire state apparatus began to run rapidly.

The officers and men of Liu Kongzhao's Nanjing Public Security Force bid farewell to their initial fear of the marching people and now their current state of pleading, and began to reveal their original cruelty and ruthlessness.

However, in order to prevent these people from letting go of the lawbreakers without permission, Zhu Youxiao also let Dongchang secretly supervise, and ordered Ye Zhenbu of the Suihu Praetorian Guard to hand over important strongholds to the cavalry battalion, and they changed to arrest local officials who secretly supported the march and these famous Confucian people in the south of the Yangtze River.

The sound of horses' hooves shattering, chickens flying and dogs jumping, in addition to the people running around like headless flies in the entire Jinling City, there are also many court personnel who are holding shackles and shackles everywhere to arrest people.

It seems that no one has forgotten that there are still undried blood and tears at their feet.
