Chapter 731: Earth-shattering (Part II)
"I told you, I'll take care of it. Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about it anymore. Just wait quietly to be your own emperor through the ages. Gao Yang waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "I have measure." With that, he turned and left.
"Your Majesty?" Looking at Gao Yang's distant back, Wang Chengen quietly came behind Emperor Chongzhen and asked loudly. As a loyal servant, Wang Chengen could understand Emperor Chongzhen's mood at the moment. It's just that because of the problem of identity, I can't comfort myself.
"That's it." Emperor Chongzhen's eyes were complicated, and he shook his head helplessly. sighed lightly, waved his hand, and said with a gloomy expression, "Leave everything to the national teacher." Anyway, it was all picked up. It could never be worse than when Li Zicheng entered Beijing. ”
When he was young, Emperor Chongzhen was arrogant and wanted to prosper the Ming Dynasty. At that time, he was extremely ruthless and killed people at every turn. Although he cultivated the majesty of being an emperor, he killed the hearts of his subordinates.
After middle age, Emperor Chongzhen faced a bad situation that made him anxious, and his whole person almost collapsed. At this time, the tyrannical mood in his heart reached its peak. And the silent resistance of his ministers has also reached its peak!
Until Li Zicheng entered Beijing. Although there are various reasons, there were no reinforcements from outside at that time, and the soldiers and horses of Beizhili did not come to the rescue. There are no people who dare to fight, and they don't say a word. It can't be said that Emperor Chongzhen doesn't have a little bit of responsibility.
originally died in internal and external difficulties, and the story of Emperor Chongzhen came to an end. But Gao Yang, who came from a distant time and space, picked up the story again. Emperor Chongzhen, who survived the catastrophe, changed his temperament greatly, and Emperor Chongzhen, who had experienced desperate struggles, saw it at once. He is not aggressive in all aspects of his life. He is still diligent in national affairs, but he is no longer playing with his life. He even spent a lot of time with his wife and children. Wang Chengen, who watched it, was so moved that he was about to cry.
Now that Gao Yang has made up his mind to do it, and there is no harm to the royal family. Emperor Chongzhen had no need to object. Let's wait until it's over.
"Your Majesty, when is that matter ......" Wang Chengen looked at the silent Emperor Chongzhen, pursed his lips, and said in a low voice.
"Wait." Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand, frowned, and whispered, "I'll mention it when he's done with it." ”
......
Gao Yang's movements were fast. He has always admired that when he is determined to do something, he must move like thunder. Solve problems as quickly as possible. In addition, he has already made preparations in all aspects. Therefore, the new army began to enter the city on a large scale that night, and imposed a curfew on the entire Beijing division. In the name of revenge, the New Army was maliciously attacked!
Originally, it was just a small thing about red apricots out of the wall. By chance, it was used by Gao Yang as an excellent excuse. Of course, even if there is no such thing, Gao Yang will still use other excuses to do it in the future!
Wang Wu would never have thought that he would become famous because of this kind of thing! Even if it is mentioned a hundred years later, the cause must be mentioned first! Compared with the bloody political liquidation, the peach story can attract the attention of ordinary people more.
A century-old family was rudely smashed open the heavy door. A large number of wolf-like soldiers rushed in and captured all the men in the family like a storm! It's better not to resist. Those who dared to resist were brutally suppressed! The terrible howls, the roar of muskets, the frightened cries of men and the desperate cries of women resounded throughout the capital in this dark night!
These high-ranking families, century-old noble families. Who is not the one who holds thousands of acres of fertile land and drives countless people and military households to make cattle and horses for them, and absorb the people's fat and ointment? They also relied on their power to keep a large number of merchants in captivity, and controlled the economic arteries of the Ming Empire. Generation after generation have been lying on the body of this ancient empire desperately sucking blood and fattening themselves.
They drove the people and military families to work for them without compensation. Not to mention not paying taxes, it also cut off the source of tax revenue for the imperial court. Live in luxury, enjoy the life of a human being.
As for the lack of nutritional supplements for this empire. Gradually, it declined, and finally it was completely pushed into the abyss by the alien races who were eyeing it. They won't care. "This world belongs to the old Zhu family, what the hell are we doing with this?!" This is the truest portrayal of the hearts of these noble people.
Gao Yang is determined to destroy all this darkness and squalour! He wants to give the world a chance to breathe. will be already stuck in the quagmire and about to be temporarily pulled out by the topless Ming Empire! Even if there will still be new magnates in the future. At least at this moment, Gao Yang can have a clear conscience!
A large number of land deeds were forcibly confiscated, and all shops were confiscated. Boxes and boxes of gold, silver, and jewelry, buried in the ground and wells, were turned over and sent to the royal bank. It doesn't matter where they're hiding. Recruits with metal detectors will be able to find the right spot in no time! The wealth accumulated by these century-old giants from generation to generation was swept away in the curses of these people!
The noble men were strung with ropes, escorted by wolf-like sergeants, and walked into the darkness with terrified expressions. In the gorgeous mansion behind him, only a group of women and children who cursed the heavens and the earth were crying violently.
Countless people in the city closed the gate in fear. Through the crack in the door, I watched uneasily at the fire and chaos outside. They don't know what's going on, and no one has the guts to go out at such a time. Everything will not be known until dawn.
When the golden morning sun rose again on time, the night of chaos was successfully declared.
This is also the execution of the well-trained. After a long period of ideological education, the new army did not make any major mistakes in doing this kind of thing under the strict supervision of a large number of biochemical soldiers. If Zuo Liangyu and his group of bandit-like sergeants were to do it, then the entire Jingshi would definitely be worse than being slaughtered!
Even so, the greedy dark side of human nature is much exposed under the cover of night. At night, when the sergeants who went to Beijing to perform military affairs formed a queue and returned to the camp outside the city. What you can see are rows of human heads tied to wooden poles with ropes!
Many of these heads were known to the sergeants, and just yesterday they were robes in a pot to eat. It's just one night now, and these people are already in a different place! Military law is ruthless!
Before entering the city, Gao Yang had sternly warned all the sergeants involved in the operation. No matter who dares to do something that violates military discipline, you will never get the slightest mercy and forgiveness! But even under this severe intimidation, there are still people who can't control the greed in their hearts. Using the cover of darkness, he thought he would not be exposed to steal stolen goods, and there was even a case of raping a silver woman!
Since it is a wealthy family that has accumulated for a hundred years, valuable things must be everywhere. It was not difficult for the recruits to hide some of the captured people when they were captured. Moreover, in this kind of big house, even the girls who burn the fire are all good-looking. All this is tempting the sergeants from humble backgrounds! After all, their training time is still too short.
One hundred and nineteen thieves, and twelve women who committed adultery. No matter what your attitude is when you are caught, everyone is a fate, and you will be cut off to the public!
In an army, an army that wants to maintain strong combat effectiveness, the only thing that cannot be touched is military discipline! Without military discipline, it would not be an army. There is no difference with those Manchu Mongol thieves alliances. Such a rabble cannot fight a tough battle.
Gao Yang didn't know how long these more than 100 heads could be intimidated. However, his belief in upholding military discipline has never wavered at all. Whoever touches something that violates military discipline will die! All the achievements of the past have now vanished, and they have nothing left.
Gao Yangqi's bloody night almost swept away the high-ranking magnates of the Ming Empire. Countless century-old wealthy families have been swept into the dustbin of history. The men were arrested and sent to work in the heavily guarded mines. What awaits them is a life of hard labor that never ends!
Fortunately, this imperial court can only control the area of Jingshi Zuojin and Beizhili now. After the elimination of these elites, it will not have much impact on the operation of the entire country. Anyway, he was already in a semi-paralyzed state. Gao Yang sent a large number of knowledge-enhanced biochemical warriors to supplement the numerous official positions. They are the best administrators, and they can do their best no matter what the circumstances.
For all this, the Forbidden City has been silent, as if it had not received any news at all. The emperor remained silent, and Gao Yangxia, who held all the power, ruthlessly removed all hidden dangers. The entire Jingshi completely lost the voice of discussion. For the ruling class of the empire, this earth-shattering purge has a helpless beginning, and there is a cruel ending!
Gao Yang's vision has never cared too much about the domestic affairs of Daming. His main focus is on overseas.
The magnificent Age of Discovery, the Central Plains Dynasty did not catch up. The reason is that the ruling class, fearing that new things will shake their rule, has voluntarily closed the country. Asia, which has been leading the world for thousands of years, has lost its head start in this golden age. So much so that after hundreds of years, almost all of them were reduced to colonies of the white world.
Since Gao Yang is here, he naturally won't let this kind of thing happen again. It's just that before entering the Age of Discovery, everything in the country must be put in order. The sentence that what must be settled first is indeed correct.
After clearing the Jingshi and Beizhili, which were now under the control of the imperial court, the next step was for the army to attack and regain the rivers and mountains.
There is no accident that Gao Yang chose Li Zicheng as the target. It's not that he's the weakest, it's that he's the closest! The magnates in the territory are also the cleanest! As for the time to start, it is still set after the New Year. (To be continued!)
