Fang Kongzhi was directly taken down by Zheng Xunrui, which shocked Wuchang Fucheng, but Zheng Xunrui's actions were far from over.

Xu Jikuang was temporarily appointed by Zheng Xunrui to be in charge of all matters in Huguang, acting as the governor of Huguang, and the Zheng Jiajun stationed around Wuchang Mansion City dispatched 15,000 people again, combined with 10,000 people led by Liu Zeqing, a total of 25,000 people, and began to carry out a devastating blow to the Liukou under the command of Ai Nengqi in Yunyang Fucheng, Zheng Xunrui wrote a memo to the imperial court, impeaching the three crimes of Fang Kongzhi, the governor of Huguang, one of which was secretly colluding with Liukou, allowing Liukou to occupy Yunyang and other places, and blatantly reaping benefits from it, The second is to openly resist the emperor's decree and be unwilling to send troops to prevent Xiong Wencan, the governor of the five provinces, from exterminating the Liukou in Yunyang Mansion, and the third is to openly slander the King of Xiang, the Crown Prince and the Taishi, the Imperial History of Youdu, Zheng Xunrui, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, and Xiong Wencan, the governor of the five provinces, etc., falsely accusing the two of not going all out to exterminate the Liukou in order to shirk their own responsibility.

The content of the impeachment memo was made public, and this impeachment memo also caused a huge shock in Wuchang Mansion, and the vast majority of people still believed in it, and Fang Kongzhi's reputation quickly stinked in a short period of time.

It was not enough to just impeach him, Zheng Xunrui also wrote a report on the recommended candidates, recommending Xu Jikuang of the Nanjing Military Department to be the governor of Huguang, and clearly pointed out that Fang Kongzhi, the former governor of Huguang, had been detained, and Xu Jikuang acted as the governor of Huguang and began to perform relevant functions.

It was also at this time that the rectification of the whole province of Huguang began, including the adjustment of government officials at all levels, the integrated payment of grain by the gentry, the collection of taxes on commerce and trade, the relief of poor peasant households, and the expansion of the business of Hongmen Qianzhuang.

Liu Zeqing's battle to exterminate the Liukou went very smoothly, and Zheng Xunrui expected that after learning that Zhang Xianzhong and Liu Wenxiu were completely defeated and killed by Zheng Jiajun, Ai Nengqi chose to surrender and did not resist too much.

This time, Liu Zeqing made his own decisions. Without reporting to Zheng Xunrui and Zheng Jinhong, after consulting with Yang Tingshu, they quickly killed Ainengqi, who they believed was also one of the leaders of the Liukou, and that he had left behind to cause endless harm, and it was not only Ainengqi who was killed. His subordinates and henchmen were also mercilessly eliminated.

When the clerk arrived at Wuchang Mansion, Zheng Xunrui, who had lost his temper, had no choice, and he also knew what Yang Tingshu and Liu Zeqing thought, if they completely retained the liukou under the command of Ai Nengqi, who knew what these people would do next.

The turmoil in Huguang and Sichuan provinces began, after all, the implementation of completely different policies will cause great fluctuations.

Zheng Xunrui is stationed in Wuchang Mansion and is not ready to leave for the time being, and he is estimated to have spent this Spring Festival in Wuchang Mansion. But he will not be particularly lonely, Wen Manshan and Bian Yujing have already set off from Nanjing and come to Wuchang Fucheng, after all, in Sichuan and Huguang provinces, the obligation of large-scale Hongmen Qianzhuang is rolled out, and the two need to be personally guided.

Xu Wanghua and Zhou Yanru, who were in charge of all matters in Nanjing, arranged for 2,000 soldiers of the Zheng family army to escort along the road to protect the safety of Wen Manshan and Bian Yujing. At the same time, personnel were also dispatched to urgently send a message to inform Wen Manshan and Bian Yujing that they had set off from Nanjing. If Wen Manshan and Bian Yujing had any accidents on the road, Xu Wanghua thought that he could not shirk responsibility.

The disposal of the prisoners of the Rogue also began gradually. In this battle, more than 50,000 rogues were captured alive, which is a huge number and must be dealt with reasonably. Zheng Jinhong selected more than 10,000 people out of more than 50,000 people and began a rather brutal training for these people, and the remaining nearly 40,000 people, through strict screening, more than 20,000 of them were placed in Chengdu Mansion, Wuchang Mansion and Xiangyang Mansion. Honest farming is strictly guarded by the local government, and the government can deal with it at any time if there is any change, and more than 4,000 of them over 60 years old are asked to return to their hometowns, and if they are homeless, they will be arranged to patrol and arrest houses at all levels of government, or serve as officials in the government, and finally the remaining 8,000 people will all be reduced to coolies and detained in prisons at all levels.

Zheng Xunrui of course has a plan, he is ready to start cleaning the Grand Canal, so many years have passed, the Grand Canal has not been thoroughly cleaned, many places have been blocked, it is necessary to clean up on a large scale, now it is winter, you can start to clean up, but at present it can only clean up the Grand Canal in Nanzhili, Huguang and Shandong.

These captured rogues were used to clean up the Grand Canal.

Next, Zheng Xunrui's eyes were on Xiong Wencan, the governor of the five provinces.

There are still 50,000 soldiers under Xiong Wencan's command, although the combat effectiveness of this army is average, but after all, it is a large armed force, and it must be integrated, and Huguang and Sichuan, which are controlled by Zheng Xunrui, will not allow the existence of other armies.

Soon, Xiong Wencan, the governor of the five provinces, came to Wuchang Mansion.

Xiong Wencan, who was apprehensive, didn't know what kind of situation he would face, Zheng Xunrui had already sent someone to send him letters, including the impeachment of Huguang Governor Fang Kongzhi, he had read them all.

To put it mildly, Huguang and Sichuan have been under the control of Zheng Xunrui, the emperor and the imperial court can not control these places, from the current power layout, after Huguang and Sichuan were controlled by Zheng Xunrui, most of the Ming Dynasty has fallen into the hands of Zheng Xunrui, Nanzhili is Zheng Xunrui's base camp, close to Nanzhili's Zhejiang and Shandong, basically controlled, as for other places in the south, such as Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangdong and other places, there is no strong army, Zheng Jiajun wants to control these places, It's very easy, and Shaanxi in the north is also firmly controlled by Zheng Xunrui.

Henan and Shanxi and other places, Zheng Xunrui wants to control is not particularly difficult, as long as the Zheng family army stationed in Shaanxi attack, it will be able to gradually control more places, Zheng Jiajun has not moved, it must be Zheng Xunrui has his own plans, Beizhili may not move for the time being, unless it comes to the last moment.

From these levels, the Ming Dynasty will soon change.

Zheng Xunrui did a very beautiful job, first of all, he completely stabilized the rich land in the south, so that he had a strong economic foundation, and also had enough development of the territory, and then relied on Nanzhili, and gradually extended his power to Zhejiang and Shandong around Nanzhili, and then through the chaotic situation, he controlled Huguang and Sichuan and other places.

None of this caused a huge shock, and it all seemed to be very smooth.

Who can do this?

Xiong Wencan knew very well that he was facing probably the most important choice, with the 50,000 soldiers under his command, it was impossible to confront Zheng Xunrui and Zheng Jiajun, either choose to surrender, or be ready to lose his head, there was no other way to choose.

Entering the wing room of the governor's yamen and seeing Zheng Xunrui with a smile on his face, Xiong Wencan's body couldn't help but tremble.

Zheng Xunrui, who is handsome and chic, looks harmless, still looks like that, looks very young, if someone who doesn't know suddenly sees it, he thinks it's a scholar.

Xiong Wencan's subtle movements were seen by Zheng Xunrui.

"Lord Xiong, this king has not had time to congratulate you on your appointment as the governor of the five provinces again."

"Don't dare, this is all the love of the emperor and the prince, and the lower officials can only do their best to be loyal."

Zheng Xunrui smiled slightly and got straight to the point.

"This king's impeachment of Huguang Governor Fang Kongzhi's twists and turns, Lord Xiong also saw it, and did not raise any objections, this king feels that Lord Xiong still understands the overall situation, and now Lord Xu Jikuang is acting as the governor of Huguang, and is doing a lot of things, I don't know what Lord Xiong thinks."

"Xiaguan thinks that the prince is vigorous and resolute, and everything is for the people of Huguang."

Xiong Wencan is indeed smart, and he didn't even mention the emperor and the court in his words, which has indirectly indicated his attitude, and Zheng Xunrui will not be polite in the future.

"Lord Xiong thinks so, this king is very happy, this king has an idea, this matter of exterminating the Liukou has been taken care of by Zheng Jiajun, if Lord Xiong is also responsible for the extermination of the Liukou on behalf of the imperial court, wouldn't it be a multi-disciplinary government, and it will be difficult to coordinate in the future, this king will still remove the governors of these five provinces, and Zheng Jiajun will be directly responsible for the extermination of the Liukou."

Xiong Wencan was dumbfounded, but Zheng Xunrui hadn't finished speaking.

"Lord Xiong is the governor of the five provinces, if the court abolishes this position, Lord Xiong will not have nothing to do, this king has two suggestions, please choose Lord Xiong, one is to go back to the capital, and explain the reason to the emperor in person, and the other is to go to Nanjing to do some things, and Nanjing also has a lot of fellow disciples of Lord Xiong."

"Of course, this abolition of the title of governor of the five provinces still needs to be proposed by Lord Xiong, looking at the current situation, Lord Xiong feels the same way, so he put forward such a proposal."

"I don't know what this king's suggestion is, please think twice."

Xiong Wencan didn't suppress the tremor of his body this time, and his face turned pale.

After a long while, Xiong Wencan cautiously spoke.

"Lord Wang, can the lower officials think about it and make a decision?"

"Lord Xiong, time is very tight, you look at the situation in Henan and Shanxi, and then think about the Houjin Tartars who are wreaking havoc in Beizhili, this king is very anxious, if we do things according to the original slow rhythm, I don't know how much things will be delayed."

After Zheng Xunrui finished speaking, Xiong Wencan was silent again for a while, gritted his teeth and spoke.

"The lower officials are subject to the arrangement of the prince."

"Very good, this king has already prepared a fold, after Lord Xiong signed on the fold, you can send it to the capital, this king sees that Lord Xiong or go to Nanjing, under the current situation, Beizhili is in danger, even if Lord Xiong goes to the capital, I am afraid it will be difficult to end well."

After Xiong Wencan left the room, Zheng Xunrui smiled slightly.

Yang Tingshu quickly walked out from the side.

"Brother Huaidou, I'm afraid you think that everything I did in Huguang was too much."

"No, the lower officials thought that everything the prince did was something that had to be done, but the prince still relented and didn't open the killing ring." (To be continued.) )
