Section 299 Archway
"Let's go! Day and night, within ten days, the official will return to Nanjing! ”
After reaching an agreement with the wealthy families, Yang Chao sent people to each family one by one to recover the materials, gold and silver, and immediately urged his subordinates to leave.
In order to take away the capital of these wealthy families, Yang Chao stayed in the Xu family for nearly ten days, and it was March 5th.
Arrived in Nanjing within ten days, it was March 15, and then set off to go north to King Qin, the time was almost up, maybe he would return to Nanjing, Chongzhen's King Qinwang order had arrived in Nanjing City.
The harvest was extremely rich.
The Xu family has two million taels of silver, plus countless gold, silver and jewelry, and the other seven families each have one million, which adds up to 10 million taels less.
As for these wealthy families, they will not collapse because they were robbed of a huge amount of wealth by Yang Chao, because their most important wealth land, Yang Chao has not moved, and the title deeds of each family are in the hands of each family, and with these things, they will have a chance to turn over.
In addition to gold and silver, there was a large amount of weapons and equipment.
60,000 spears, 10,000 pairs of iron armor, 20,000 pairs of cotton armor, 5,000 bows, 4,000 crossbows, and nearly 10,000 weapons such as waist knives and broadswords.
So in the end, he didn't get eight times as many weapons and equipment as the Xu family.
These weapons and equipment made Yang Chao feel that he probably didn't need to build weapons and equipment for a long time.
But the officialdom of Jinhua Mansion, which was swept away by Yang Chao, was a little embarrassed for a while, and suddenly everyone didn't know what to say, and the officials of Wang Xiong's faction who cooperated with the Hao clan wanted to cry without tears, and the Hao clan was hit by this, and there was no way to give them benefits according to what was said in advance, Zuo Guangxian and Yao Sundi and other officials found that Yang Chao erased the guilt of the Hao clan. Even if they win the struggle, they will not gain much.
The two factions of civil officials and local tycoons who struggled for a time all found that they were both losers, and there was only one winner. That is Yang Chao.
But there is still work to be done.
Chen Zilong took Xu Du back to Jinhua Mansion, and Wang Xiong made a guarantee that Xu Du intended to repent. and take the initiative to surrender, to avoid death.
But Zuo Guangxian said strongly that Wang Xiong's promise did not count, and insisted on killing Xu Du, and finally Wang Xiong acquiesced.
For Zuo Guangxian, these powerful people colluded with Wang Xiong's faction and took advantage of his departure to attack his faction. Fortunately, he returned in time to suppress Xu Du's rebellion, if Xu didn't ask for the guilt, it would mean his own failure, and it might implicate his henchman Yao Sundi, so Xu had to die.
For Wang Xiong's faction, it doesn't matter if Xu Du dies or not, Xu Du was defeated under Jinhua City and lost to Wang Xiong's tens of thousands of homeless people to kill, which has already made him earn enough meritorious service and can be promoted and rich.
So Xu Du, who was sandwiched between the two factions. became an outcast, abandoned by the civilian clique and the Hao clan at the same time.
The Xu family did not say anything or make any effort for Xu Du. directly put all the blame on Xu Du, and the civil official group did not hold the Xu family responsible, and the Xu family continued to be his wealthy family.
However, Chen Zilong was misunderstood by some friends, thinking that he deceived Xu Du and deceived Xu Du to Jinhua to die, and broke off his friendship with him.
So Xu is a loser.
The other loser is the Zhu family.
This time, among the eight county governments of Jinhua Mansion, seven wealthy clans participated in the rebellion of Xudu, but the Zhu family of Jinhua did not participate, but it was bizarre afterwards. Xu Tiaoyuan, the magistrate of Jinhua, actually found the name of Zhu Wanhua, the son of the Zhu family, in the roster of the Xu Du rebellion.
So the civil officials immediately impeached Zhu Dadian for "arsoning with thieves", and the Zhu family for "collaborating with thieves" and "thieves go and the soldiers do not disperse".
It's almost. The Zhu family completely stood on the opposite side of Xu Du this time, and was finally made a thief. The name on the list is very suspicious, even if it is true, the facts can't tell everything, Zhu Wanhua organized 3,000 righteous troops, and besieged Jinhua City at the risk of death in order to save his father, but was finally said to be a thief.
Moreover, the first impeachment of the civilian clique was Zhu Dadian's indulging in thieves, which obviously came straight to Zhu Dadian, and where was Zhu Dadian at this time? In Beijing, he was dismissed pending trial, and his great ability to command his son to be a thief thousands of miles away, and he was a thief who fought to the death with a thief?
Obviously, this is another political struggle against Zhu Dadian, and he will not stop dying, even if he has been dismissed from his post pending trial, he will be put to death.
And it was first initiated by Xu Tiaoyuan of Wang Xiong's faction, Zuo Guangxian confirmed, it was obvious that this was a concession by Wang Xiong's group to Zuo Guangxian Group, after all, they lost in this struggle, and if they wanted to honestly get a piece of the pie, they had to cooperate with Zuo Guangxian to strike at Donglin's political enemies.
So this time, the Zhu family was another big loser, and in the end, a father and son were both arrested and imprisoned, and the family property was confiscated.
And the other factions, including the wealthy who suffered heavy losses, got a piece of the pie.
So the biggest losers are actually these people!
Then Ni Zuoshan of Zuoguang's first line was promoted from Jinhua Tongzhi to the prefect of the prefecture, Yao Sundi was determined to have a meritorious service in recovering Dongyang, and was promoted to the Ministry of War as the head of the department, I have to say that as the vanguard of this battle, Yao Sundi got the greatest benefit, and was directly promoted from a county order to the central government, which is considered the reward of the Donglin Party to Ma Zai.
In the Wang Xiong line of the other faction, Xu Tiaoyuan was promoted to Nanjing to serve in Nanjing, and Jiang Ruolai, a guerrilla general under his command, was promoted to general for his meritorious service in breaking the "thief".
Among the independence faction, Chen Zilong, who recruited Xu Du, also got an errand as the head of the Wenxuan Division of the Nanjing Ministry of Officials.
But where does this soup come from?
It was the hundreds of thousands of scattered people, thousands of bankrupt small and medium-sized landlords and rich peasants, whose land had been annexed by the wealthy clans.
Even hundreds of people can only sell their sons and daughters to the wealthy as slaves.
Of course, it was Yang Chao who got the heaviest cup of soup, but Yang Chao was still in a hurry to Nanjing.
When he went from Zhenjiang to Jinhua, it took Yang Chao seven days, but this time it only took five days to go back.
Because he promised to return to Nanjing, Yang Chao promised to immediately recruit them into the army, these refugees all know people in the army, very envious of the treatment of the army, envy that they can feed a family, so full of motivation, plus also want to go home as soon as possible to see relatives, so the road day and night and very active.
After arriving in Zhenjiang on March 10, he made a little inquiry and found that there was no news of the emperor's Qinwang order, so Yang Chao immediately rushed to Nanjing.
Risking to travel on the river overnight, although the weather was not very good, the next night, Yang Chao still rushed back to the new Jiangkou camp.
Of course, it is only the vanguard, and most of the follow-up troops are still on the way.
But in Nanjing, he still didn't hear about King Qin's order, which made Yang Chao breathe a sigh of relief and felt that he had not delayed.
Perhaps Emperor Chongzhen's Qinwang order has been issued, but it has not had time to reach Nanjing, even if it is a fast horse flying newspaper, it has not been conveyed to Nanjing for a month.
Although there is no Qinwang order, there are some urgent reports.
On the first day of the first month, Li Zicheng changed Xi'an to Chang'an, called Xijing. The founding name of the country is Dashun, the year name is Yongchang, and Li Jiqian, the ancestor of the Western Xia Kingdom in the Northern Song Dynasty, is the Taizu. There are six government books, namely, officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers, and they are exempted from taxes. The following nine people were named Hou Liu Zongmin, and the following seventy-two people were uncles under Liu Tichun, and the rest of the generals were each added sons and barons.
A total of 400,000 infantry and 600,000 horsemen, after a short rest, led the army to cross the Yellow River, plundered the east of the river, and captured Taiyuan, Xinzhou, Daizhou, Zhangde, Ningwu and other places.
The last Tang newspaper was that Li Zicheng was rushing to Datong and fighting in the Xuanfu area!
However, the Tang newspaper also showed that Li Zicheng's army was invincible, and a city fell almost every few days, and it was obviously impossible to capture, but only surrender.
Yang Chao knew that after that, Li Zicheng was almost all the way to Beijing.
Yang Chao must rush time, although it feels a little weird to block Li Zicheng, after all, this person has a perfect image in the history education he has received, but Yang Chao knows that it is not true, and even if it is true, Yang Chao has to stop him, he alone can't stop the Manchu Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty is the only hope, he must stop him.
So it has reached the point of urgency, after reading the Tang newspaper in the barracks all night, early the next morning, while sending someone to Shi Kefa to hand over the order, report the situation of the battle in Jinhua, submit the merit paperwork, etc., Yang Chao himself went home immediately.
He wants to say goodbye to his family.
But I didn't expect that after arriving at home, the family was very mysterious, and they spoke a little incoherently to Yang Chao, as if they were hiding something.
Soon, several carriages stopped in front of Yang's house.
On the carriage, big people walked down.
Bingbi eunuch Wang Chengen.
The military department is still in the history of the law.
Han Zanzhou, the eunuch of Nanjing, and others.
Yang Chao was inexplicably moved.
However, Wang Chengen couldn't wait to pull Yang Chao out, saying that he wanted to take Yang Chao to see something.
Walk out of the gate of Yang's house and walk south to the entrance of the iron workshop.
Yang Chaodao didn't pay attention, I don't know when a building was erected here, but it doesn't look very clear, because it is wrapped in red silk.
Wang Chengen pulled Yang Chao, and the others followed with smiles.
Suddenly, Wang Chengen nodded, and his entourage immediately set up a ladder and climbed up the building, only to see that they cut the ribbons one by one, and the red cloth covering the building fell.
A torii!
Four big characters in the book: General Dragon and Tiger!
On both sides of the archway, there are some carved texts, written in detail one by one, the left side describes the deeds of the bloody battle of King Qin in the north, and the right side writes the record of going south to Jinhua and breaking the capital of Xu.
And the master of these achievements is Yang Chao himself.
Seeing such a thing suddenly, Yang Chao's heart jumped twice without being angry, and he was also a good name in the end.
But looking back, my parents and sister have already left tears of excitement! (To be continued...... )。
