"Run! The stricken army is coming. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"What? Is the Suffering Army coming? Run, run! ”

"The Afflicted Army is coming! If you don't run, it's over. ”

At this time, there was chaos in Nanjing, and Zhu Huakui ran out of Nanjing in a panic, and the people of Nanjing were also panicked.

The reputation of the Central Army in the Jiangnan region is really bad, because it is rumored that the Central Army has extremely poor military discipline, not only robbing civilians, but also women.

These bad reputations are obviously all hacked by the Jiangnan Shi clan.

If they are free or not, they will send out some tabloids and hack the Central Army and Zhu Youxiao everywhere. All kinds of jokes were widely circulated among the people, and they also gave the Central Army a name -- the Suffering Army! I also made up a lot of nursery rhymes.

However, where the Central Army passed, the common people were surprised to find that this did not seem to be the case. There were also a large number of supply convoys carrying a large amount of grain behind them, and they were still giving relief to the people along the way.

At the same time, the Central Army was still maintaining order everywhere, and those ruffians and hooligans who took advantage of the chaos to commit crimes were arrested one after another, and these people were sent to labor reforms, and those who behaved badly were shot dead on the spot.

But the people in Nanjing obviously didn't know that the central army was approaching the city, and the city was in chaos.

Zhu Huakui took the lead in running away, and the rebels in Nanjing City saw that the situation was not right, so they hurriedly changed the Dawang Banner again, opened the city gate and welcomed the Central Army into the city.

The people of the city were terrified, but soon discovered that the truth was not what had been reported.

The Central Army entered the city of Nanjing, quickly maintained order, and posted a notice to reassure the people. On that day, the people in the city walked out of their homes and were pleased to find that the city was in good order, and there were patrolling Central Army soldiers everywhere.

These soldiers of the Central Army were dressed in red and were majestic and upright. He was also very polite to the people.

This rebellion was like a farce, with the recovery of Nanjing, other cities in the south of the Yangtze River have automatically put down the rebellion.

There were even a number of scapegoats who were escorted to Nanjing.

And Zhu Huakui, who escaped from Nanjing, was immediately captured by the local government when he ran to Zhejiang, and he was also sent to Nanjing.

The rebellion came quickly and was put down quickly.

Fundamentally speaking, it is because those gentry and chaebols lack a popular base.

Although they are dark every day, there are more and more ordinary people who know the truth, after all, Daming Daily is not white-haired.

Even those ordinary people who believe that Zhu Youxiao is a faint monarch have no reason to rebel. Zhu Youxiao didn't raise taxes or anything, and their lives were still the same.

Therefore, this rebellion looks fierce on the surface, but in fact, it is all the 'water army' invited by the nobles and chaebols to build momentum, and the enthusiasm of the common people to participate in the rebellion is not high.

As soon as the Central Army arrived, the rebellion melted away as quickly as snow under the scorching sun.

"I've caught everything I can." After Zhu Youxiao received the telegram in the capital, he immediately ordered Luo Sigong to go to Jiangnan in person to preside over the raid.

Those officials who participated in the rebellion were arrested, dismissed, and investigated.

Those chaebols and scholars who participated in the rebellion were also arrested and directly raided their homes.

However, Zhu Youxiao has always rarely killed people in dealing with these politically hostile forces. At most, it is a labor reform, and if you perform well, you can be released.

It's not good to kill, it's too barbaric.

Looking at the atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty, a big problem is that it is mixed with the barbaric atmosphere of the Mongolian people in the Yuan Dynasty. Politically, killing people at every turn spreads to society, and when they treat the people, they are often not merciful enough.

Although the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang cared about the people, his cultural level was not very high, and after he came to power, as the chief designer of the country, many of the systems formulated were actually too extreme.

For example, the hukou system is very unreasonable.

There is also the tax system, which is also not very reasonable. There is a quota in every locality, and although the starting point is good, it has led to the behavior of local officials who do not collect the quota when they receive it, and yes, a lot of taxes are missed. The financial predicament of the Ming Dynasty is also related to the precedent set by Zhu Yuanzhang.

If Zhu Youxiao wants to change this barbaric atmosphere, first of all, he must not kill people indiscriminately.

Except for those who betrayed the country and defected to the enemy, and killed a group of Jin merchants, although those salt merchants were raided by Zhu Youxiao, they did not ask for beheading.

……

When Luo Sigong arrived in Nanjing, the rebellion had been put down for nearly ten days.

The aftermath has already begun, but the arrest of the rebels has only captured some officials who participated in the rebellion, and the nobles and chaebols who supported the rebellion have not yet been affected.

The nobles and chaebols put their minds down, they didn't think that the emperor would raid their homes. Their influence in Jiangnan is very large, and copying them Jiangnan will cause chaos.

And they also did not think that the emperor would know that they were behind the rebellion.

In this rebellion, neither the nobles nor the chaebols came forward in person. Those who come out are also recruited. There was a lot of money, but before the climate was formed, the Central Army crossed the river and came, and it came too quickly, which was beyond their expectations.

But this rebellion is also a matter of chance.

It is good to succeed, but not to succeed is to sit back and wait for the emperor to reform, which is the worst result they expected.

But when Luo Sigong came to Nanjing, the situation suddenly changed dramatically.

The spies of Jinyiwei and Dongchang have long locked these scholars and gate valves. I'm afraid that these nobles and gate lords did not expect that after the integration and development of the emperor's intelligence agency, it has developed to a very professional level, and the operational efficiency has also increased significantly, and the penetration ability is very strong.

Engaging in intelligence is nothing more than a matter of money, and the activity funds of Jinyiwei and Dongchang have been increasing every year in recent years, and they don't know how many intelligence personnel have been developed in those big households.

You must know that in this world, power and wealth are essentially based on information, and the collection of information is very crucial.

Similarly, information is also monopolized by a large number of people, and the proportion of useful information that ordinary people can obtain is actually very small, not more than 20%, but ordinary people account for the majority, which shows how scarce ordinary people are in terms of information sources and channels.

The rebellion of those scholars and chaebols, before it began, there were already internal ghosts who surrendered to Jinyiwei and Dongchang.

Individual clans and gate lords were obviously not optimistic about the rebellion.

They were not willing to get on the thief ship, but hoped to exchange for the continuation of their interests by surrendering to the emperor.

Their choice was obviously very correct, as soon as Luo Sigong arrived in Nanjing, the Jinyiwei and Dongchang spies who had already been prepared led by the army began to arrest these members of the scholars and chaebols, and sealed all their family property for confiscation.

The sudden blow made those nobles and chaebols directly confused.

One by one, they cried and shouted, watching in disbelief as the spies rushed into the house with the soldiers. Isn't the dog emperor afraid that there will be chaos after Jiangnan is gone? (To be continued.) )
