"Yeongzhen, great joy!"

Deng Wentong came to Zhang Ke's ward with a smile, delivered Wu Boyan's handwritten letter to his hand, and said ecstatically: "General Wu not only captured the Zheng family, the Cai family, and the Yan family, but also captured more than a dozen Japanese robbers, and confirmed their crime of colluding with the Japanese robbers. Our division is famous and can show our skills. I immediately sent the sailors to Fujian, arrest all of them, and don't let any of them go! If you have the courage to assassinate, you should pay the price of blood! ”

"Hehe, brother-in-law, don't be impatient!" Zhang Ke said with a smile while watching.

"What, Yongzhen, do you still want to follow the example of the eleven families and give them a way to live? Don't forget, these people are the ones who assassinated you? Deng Wentong asked in surprise.

"Whoever I give them a way to live, I won't give them a way to live, colluding with the Japanese Kou, even if I want to spare them, the people in the southeast can't spare them!" Zhang Ke suddenly said loudly: "I want to let them be ruined and stinking for 10,000 years!" Not only do they have to die, but they must never turn over! ”

Relieve anger and bring energy!

Deng Wentong felt that he was too much, but compared with Zhang Ke, it was really trivial, and it was not enough to see it at all. But against these guys, you just can't be polite.

"Yongzhen, what do you say you should do?"

"First of all, we should build up public opinion, and the main point is to say that these people raise Japanese pirates, monopolize sea routes, and from time to time instigate Japanese pirates to loot ships and massacre coastal people, and do all kinds of evil and everything. As for the assassination of me, let's downplay it, we are avenging the grievances of the people in the southeast and the gentry, and we are eradicating a cancer for the Ming Dynasty, not for personal grudges. All in all......"

"In short, I want to be a ** and want to set up a memorial arch!" Deng Wentong said with a smile.

"Hehe, under the banner of justice, Lao Tzu has no taboos!" Zhang Ke also laughed.

"Yongzhen, since there are no taboos, shouldn't you also be 'good'. For such a big thing, without you to strategize, I'm really afraid that it will be messed up! ”

"That's not going to happen!" Zhang Ke shook his head like a rattle, "If I get better so quickly, what will others think?" Brother-in-law, you will be in charge of Jiangnan in the future, and there are many things to deal with, and you must learn to be on your own! Don't miss out on such a great opportunity! ”

Zhang Ke gave a look of "you do things, I can rest assured". took a comfortable nap, and after a while, he actually started snoring, which made Deng Wen vomit blood for a while.

"Just do it, but if something goes wrong, don't blame me!" Deng Wentong stomped his feet, turned around and left the ward.

Since the plan was decided, he did not rush to take people, but on the contrary, began a large-scale propaganda offensive.

First of all, the captured Japanese captives were sent to the various state capitals and counties. Let them tell in front of all the people how they were recruited, how they were trained, and how many hurtful things they had done.

As everyone knows. Since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there have been a continuous number of Japanese vamurai, and some of them are really unemployed samurai in Japan, who have gone to the southeast to loot for a living.

However, the number of true widows is limited after all, and more people of the Ming Dynasty go to the sea as pirates. In order to avoid harming their families, they disguised themselves as widows and brought disaster to the coastal areas.

And officials everywhere know it. It's just that they know that once they admit that the people under their rule went to the sea to plunder, the official reputation is not good, and they simply attribute these people to the Japanese bandits.

Coming and going, a lie is maintained up and down in the southeast.

With the opening of the Age of Discovery, piracy became more and more prevalent in the southeast, and the Ming Dynasty implemented a maritime ban policy, cutting off normal trade channels.

The sea merchants colluded with the pirates, and even directly recruited the pirates for their own use. The pirates acted as sharp knives in the hands of the maritime merchants, collecting protection fees on the one hand, and helping to deal with the thorns in the flesh and ensure the monopoly of the maritime trade routes.

The two sides are mutually beneficial and symbiotic and form a strong alliance of interests!

However, when the city shipping department operates, takes the official trade channel, and is escorted by the government fleet, it naturally does not receive protection fees. At the same time, with the support of the Municipal Shipping Division, the official fleet will become stronger and stronger, and the pirates will be killed sooner or later.

What Zhang Ke did was not only to block people's money, but also to dig people's ancestral graves, and several of the largest maritime merchants joined forces to get rid of him!

The big households in Jiangnan know well what the sea merchants are doing, but they dare not sue if they are wronged, the reason is very simple, that is, they are more or less smuggling, and their buttocks are not clean.

This is the reason why the southeast is plagued by repeated prohibitions, others dare not say it, but Deng Wentong has no taboos.

He immediately showed the captured pirates everywhere, and everywhere he went, thousands of people were empty, and the people were scrambling to know the truth about the pirates.

When they stammered from the mouths of the Japanese and said that they were actually raised on the Ming Sea, and the so-called Japanese were their own people, the people were angry. They couldn't imagine that those would-be robbers who killed the people like chickens and ducks were actually masters of the Ming Dynasty!

They still have no humanity, and they still have no human heart!

Starting from Nanjing, everywhere I went, the people were shouting and shouting and killing. Some people even took rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves and threw them at the captured pirates, so that the soldiers had to pull the cordon for fear that the captives would be killed.

But soon they didn't have to worry, because the fleet under the command of Ming Ruxin raided two islands and captured more than 200 Japanese prisoners.

To tell the truth, these pirates may not have anything to do with Yan Cai and the others, but the tide has already been created, and the loess mud has fallen into the crotch of his pants, and it is not but!

Even if they have a thousand mouths, they can't quibble. Originally, those officials who were bought by them were surging in the face of public opinion, and none of them dared to speak out, for fear of being involved and shattered!

In addition to letting the Japanese invaders show up and tell the truth, they also mobilized a large number of storytellers and Jianghu artists to walk the streets and alleys everywhere to shake out the things of the big maritime merchants colluding with the Japanese and harming the people in the southeast.

Every day, hundreds of people, all of whom had relatives who died at the hands of the Japanese invaders, gathered in front of the yamen of the prefecture and county, and kept crying and complaining about justice, asking the master of Qingtian to arrest the culprit and comfort the dead souls.

In the past, yamen at all levels had already sent people to beat the people away, but now they no longer have the courage to do so, for fear that they will be accused of colluding with maritime merchants, and then they will be labeled as co-widows!

After more than 20 days of trouble, Deng Wentong looked at the reports of all parties and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Pass the order, let's do it!"

……

In Fujian, outside Quanzhou Prefecture, two days ago, there were 3,000 horse infantry troops coming from the north, and after the yamen along the way saw it, they did not dare to stop it at all, and even fled in despair. No one has a grudge against their heads, so avoid these evil stars as soon as possible.

"Kaicheng, we want to arrest the traitors and scum of the Ming Dynasty, the people of the Cai family and the Zheng family, if you don't want to die, open the city gates!"

After waiting for a long time, there was no movement.

The Yizhou soldiers under the city were already impatient, and suddenly launched a black cannon and aimed it at the city gate.

"Don't, don't do it, the lord of the city, the door is not closed, you come in!"

In this way, the Yizhou soldiers were unimpeded, as if they were in a no-man's land, and rushed directly to the century-old mansion of the Cai family, a wealthy family, in front of the powerful army, they were a lamb to be slaughtered, and entered the countdown to destruction......
