When the sentence "Yueyang...... Go back to Shanxi! When he said that, the faces of the people around him changed.

If everyone gathered to make trouble just now just because they were dissatisfied with the new policy and the collection of commercial taxes, then this sentence that told Yue Yang to go back to Shanxi would have escalated into a personal attack.

Yue Yang's eyes narrowed, revealing a strange smile, he turned his head to Ke Zhennan beside him and sneered: "Master Ke, Master Ma, this is what you call the pillars of the Ming Dynasty?" wantonly insulted the court officials and the Ming nobles, and this sage book was read into the dog's stomach. ”

In the face of Yue Yang's accusation, Ke Zhennan just said lightly: "Regarding this matter, the officials can only say that the will of the people cannot be violated, and I believe that as long as the governor announces the abolition of the collection of commercial taxes and guarantees that the new policy will not be carried out, these people will support the lord." ”

"Good...... What a public opinion that cannot be violated! Yue Yang laughed angrily at the shamelessness of these officials, he took a deep breath and said to Chu Di, who had been silent on the side: "Lord Chu, it seems that the gentry and merchants of Jinan City don't give Ben Hou much face, in this case, we don't have to save face for others, you can directly read Ben Hou's order!" ”

"Yes!"

Chu Di, who had been black-faced on the side, responded in a muffled voice, stepped forward a few steps, held an iron horn in his hand, and said loudly to the people in front of him: "The Marquis of Daming Zhongyong, the scholar of Dongyang Pavilion, the governor of Shandong, and the governor of Caoyun of Shandong have an order, in view of the fact that the gentry, scholars and businessmen from all over Shandong wantonly incite the people to oppose the court and destroy the new policy of the imperial court, and do not listen to the advice to repeatedly hold a strike to threaten the imperial court, Marquis Yue ordered the implementation of military control in Jinan Mansion from now on!" During this period, no groups of more than 50 people were allowed to appear in Jinan Prefecture, no crowds were allowed to besiege any government office, and no rumors were allowed to spread against the New Deal, otherwise they would be punished for the crime of opposing the New Deal. This decree was promulgated by the Yamen, the governor of Shandong Province of the Ming Dynasty. Takes effect immediately! ”

"Implement military control!"

As soon as Chu Di finished shouting, not only the scholars and businessmen who were making trouble in front of him, but even the officials behind Yue Yang were stunned. After a while, Ma Ke asked in some surprise: "Lord Governor, what is this military manager, and why has this officer never heard of this thing?" ”

Yue Yang said lightly: "It's nothing, this is a way to deal with the crisis that this official just came up with." The so-called military management refers to when there is a war or riot in a certain place and the safety of the people is affected, the army is allowed to exercise its functions and powers on behalf of the local yamen, and the compulsory management of a certain place is carried out, and this kind of behavior is called military management. ”

"What?"

Yue Yang's words just came out. The officials who were still waiting to see his jokes immediately became messy, followed by a surge of anger, especially Ke Zhennan, who only felt cold in his hands and feet.

Yue Yang's words were very straightforward, "Let the army take the place of the yamen in various places." This sentence was like a steel knife piercing everyone's heart, including his, of course.

Without thinking, he rushed to Yue Yang and almost pointed at his nose and roared, "Yue Yang, what are you doing here?" Taking over the exercise of power by the yamen in various places is the right of the imperial court, don't you really want to rebel by doing this? ”

"Smack"

Yue Yang unceremoniously knocked away the hand he was pointing at him, and the cold voice sounded in his ears again. "Ben Hou doesn't have this right, but don't forget, Ben Hou has this ability. In Ben Hou's opinion, it is better to let you waste people who dare to eat and do nothing to rush the food. It's better to let Benhou do things well for you. ”

Yue Yang has been extremely disappointed in Ke Zhennan and Ma Ke, bureaucrats who are rotten in their bones, and since they came to Shandong, they not only did not have the slightest support for him, but instead hindered and stumbled everywhere when he did things. More than half a month has passed, and judging from the news below, the government below has not done anything about measuring the population data of the land statistics officials and gentry. This made Yue Yang slowly lose confidence, so he came up with the word military management.

The so-called military control is a special form of coercive management and control exercised by the armed forces over government power and over the state or some regions, certain trades, and individual departments. It is usually practiced in wars, riots, natural disasters and other extraordinary circumstances.

Of course, there was no such concept in these years, but it did not prevent Yue Yang from bringing it to this world hundreds of years in advance. Only now it seems that the officials on the scene have been frightened by this word that appeared in advance.

"You...... You're rebelling...... This is to punish the Nine Clans! Marco's voice suddenly became very hoarse, and his body trembled like chaff, and the former calm official authority was long gone.

"The Nine Clans?" Yue Yang smiled and looked at the two highest-ranking officials in Shandong other than himself who were almost collapsing to the ground with disdain, "Yue wants to see who can punish my nine clans." General Chu, all on alert, if these people don't disperse within ten breaths, they can be killed on the spot! ”

When he said the last sentence, Yue Yang's voice became very gloomy.

"The last general obeys!"

Chu Di on the side answered loudly and shouted to the surrounding sergeants: "All on alert...... Get on the bayonet! ”

"Whoa...... Whoa......"

With Chu Di's voice, the surrounding sergeants immediately took off the fire guns on their shoulders, and took out the bayonets from their waists and loaded them, and for a while, the sound of metal hitting was accompanied by the seeping cold light.

Looking at the crowd in front of him, Chu Di raised the iron horn and shouted: "Wait for ten breaths, if you don't disperse, kill on the spot!" ”

"Whoa......

Hundreds of sergeants at the entrance of the governor's office immediately aimed their bayonets at the crowd in front of them, and suddenly a chilling killing intent permeated the street, and the air that had become warm because of the rising sun seemed to condense in an instant, and a chill immediately floated in the air, and the crowd that had been shouting just now immediately stopped their voices like ducks choked by the neck.

After a long time, a hoarse voice sounded: "Don't be afraid, we are the pillars of the Ming Dynasty, these officers and soldiers will never dare to harm us, otherwise the princes of the court and the central government will never let go of these thieves, everyone!" ”

When the words fell, the surrounding crowd remained motionless, and there was a silent silence in the originally noisy crowd. The hoarse voice became anxious, and the voice became louder: "Everyone go up, don't be afraid, they don't dare to hurt our scholars!" ”

But this voice underestimates the hearts of the Chinese people, although human beings have a blind obedience heart, but no one is stupid. Today's Da Ming can face the cold bayonet and still move forward bravely, and the reader is estimated to be almost extinct. These people let them shout slogans or pull their hind legs behind their backs and make small movements, which is definitely world-class, but if they are made to face death, all they can do is hehe.

Suddenly, Yue Yang pointed to a place in front of him and shouted, "Come on, arrest that villain who bewitches the crowd!" ”

"Yes!"

As Yue Yang's words fell, four wolf-like soldiers immediately rushed into the crowd, and soon dragged a thin middle-aged man out and threw him on the street like a dead dog, this person immediately let out a howl like killing a pig, and it could be heard from the sound that this person was the guy who kept inciting the crowd to make trouble just now.

Yue Yang's eyes flashed, "This person's evil words confuse the public, and the crime of inciting the people to fight against the imperial court is unforgivable. Rectify the Fa on the spot now! ”

"Yes!"

For Xuan Dajun, Yue Yang's order would be carried out without hesitation, and soon two bayonets stabbed into the middle-aged man's chest one after the other without hesitation. The middle-aged man had time to let out two screams, his body convulsed, and then he fell to a pool of blood, and the red and black blood soon flowed all over the ground, and a smell of blood began to fill the air.

And along with this smell of blood was Yue Yang's cold and ruthless eyes, he looked around the people in front of him coldly and said lightly: "Now the countdown begins......"

"Ten...... Nine...... Eight...... Seven ......"

The cold and ruthless voice floated in the air with irresistible force, and before Yue Yang could count to five, the entire crowd exploded with a roar, and countless people rushed to scatter and run into the distance. The streets were filled with wails and panicked shouts. In less than half an hour, the street that had been crowded with people immediately became empty, leaving only the shoes that had been stepped on and the middle-aged man who was dead.

Yue Yang slowly turned around and asked the officials who had become stunned on the side, "Lord Ke, Lord Ma, this is the awe-inspiring scholar you said about sacrificing his life for righteousness?" According to Benhou's point of view, if my Ming scholars are all this kind of greedy for life and afraid of death. Don't be a scholar like that! By the way, I would like to tell you again that there is less than half a month before the time for measuring the land stipulated by Benhou, and if there are still people who are lucky at that time. If you disobey Benhou's order, you can see what happened to this benevolent brother on the ground. If anyone asks himself, his neck is harder than the head of a tartar, but the steel knife in Ben Hou's hand is not good. ”

After speaking, Yue Yang walked into the gate of the governor's yamen with his hands behind his back. As he entered, the door slammed shut, leaving only a group of wide-eyed officials and a sergeant who looked at them coldly.

It was only at this time that Ke Zhennan, Ma Ke and other officials remembered that the loyal and brave marquis in front of him was not just a marquis, he was also a murderous iron-blooded general, and the number of rogues and tartars who died in his hands was calculated in tens of thousands. If he is ruthless, those scholars and merchants in Jinan City are really not enough for him to kill, but it is ridiculous that these people still think that they can use the name of righteousness to suppress him and try to force him out of Shandong, but now that I think about it, how ridiculous it is.

In fact, in the final analysis, Ke Zhennan and the others didn't know Yue Yang's past, but automatically filtered out his past, in their opinion, even if Yue Yang was powerful, he was also a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, and he would never dare to make a mistake with them. Qi Jiguang is powerful enough, but he is not respectful in front of those civil and official groups, and even in the letter to Zhang Juzheng, he has to call himself a lackey under his door, no matter how ruthless this Yue Yang is, he can be more ruthless than Qi Jiguang. But what they never dreamed of was that this Yue Yang came from another time and space, and the so-called loyal monarch thought in this era was no different from nonsense in his eyes.

Just when Ke Zhennan and the others were stunned, bursts of gunfire had already sounded in other places in Jinan City. After hearing this gunshot, Ke Zhennan and the others' faces immediately turned pale, and they knew that this must be the army under Yue Yang's command that had done something to those demonstrators and scholars......

On the third day of the third month of the third month of the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Yueyang, the loyal and brave Marquis of the Ming Dynasty, ordered the army to suppress the merchants and scholars who demonstrated in the city in Jinan, Shandong, and on this day, more than 100 scholars and merchants were killed and wounded, and more than 300 of the Qingpi and gangsters they hired died, and this day was also called the bloody day by the Shandong gentry.

On the same day, the Liukou, who had besieged Qufu for more than ten days, finally broke through the county seat of Qufu, and the entire county seat of Qufu was sacked, and the Confucian Mansion was not spared, and the Yan Shenggong escaped from Qufu County with a family of hundreds of people under the cover of hundreds of servants when the city was broken. After several twists and turns, they finally came to Jinan City.

"I didn't expect this Yan Shenggong to be really fateful, so that he could escape."

In the signing room of the governor's yamen, Yue Yang sat at the table with his eyes open and muttered, and next to him was Jiang He, who was standing respectfully with his hands down.

Jiang He blamed himself a little and said: "Master Hou, this matter is the negligence of the lowly position, and the lowly official did not expect that the Kong family actually had a secret way to escape, so he escaped to Jinan Mansion, and the lowly position immediately made up for it." ”

"Eh......" Yue Yang waved his hand: "Forget it......, now that people have come to Jinan Mansion, we can't move people anymore, otherwise I can't afford to kill Yan Shenggong." The saliva of the world's scholars has to drown me. ”

After listening to Yue Yang's words, Jiang He looked at Yue Yang, and wanted to stop talking, but finally held back.

Yue Yang smiled after seeing his expression, "Do you want to say that since you are afraid of the criticism of the scholars, why did you order to shoot at those scholars and scholars a few days ago?" ”

Jiang He stubbornly said: "This is also the incomprehensible place of the humble position, since the Hou Ye does not want to be the person pointed by the thousand husbands, why did he order the shooting a few days ago?" ”

Yue Yang sighed lightly and pointed at Jiang He and said, "You...... Still don't understand what I mean. ”

Jiang He lowered his head a little ashamedly: "Master Hou, you are humble and dull, please advise." ”

"Let me put it this way, the reason why I ordered the suppression of those scholars and merchants who opposed the collection of commercial taxes was because we were in charge, and the purpose of collecting commercial taxes was to pay taxes to the imperial court. It is for the sake of the court and the Ming Dynasty, so that even if the emperor wants to punish the marquis, he will only raise it high and fall gently, but if he kills Yan Shenggong, then he will have a mortal enmity with the scholars all over the world, so Yan Shenggong and these people Li Zicheng can be killed. But I must not do it myself, you know? ”

"Yes...... Humble duty understood. Although Jiang He didn't understand Yue Yang's concerns very well, he knew one thing very well, although he was now the deputy director of the Youshan Division. In his hands, he has thousands of bright and dark lines, and the handles of many ministers of the DPRK and China, and even the armed forces that have been active in the dark. It seems to be extremely powerful. But he understands very well that this kind of strength can only glow with great power if it is attached to Yue Yang, and without Yue Yang's support, the power in his hands is just ice and snow under the sun, and it will soon turn into snow and disappear on the earth.

Therefore, as long as Yue Yang doesn't let him do something, even if a pile of gold falls in front of him, he can't touch it, a person like him who lives in the dark has never been liked by officials and the military, and he can only live well by clinging to a strong person like Yue Yang.

Yan Shenggong, who had worked hard to escape to Jinan City, did not know that he was rolling on the line of life and death again, and at this time he was in the backyard of the political envoy Yamen to Ke Zhennan, Ma Ke and others to denounce Yue Yang's crimes.

"Master Ke, this time Qufu was occupied by the Liukou, all because Yue Yang saw death and couldn't save it, this duke wrote to the imperial court, asking the imperial court to send Ti Cai to arrest Na Yueyang into Beijing and punish him, but this duke hopes that the two of you can play together with this palace."

Looking at Yan Shenggong, who gritted his teeth, Ke Zhennan and Ma Ke glanced at each other, and a helpless look appeared in their eyes at the same time. In the end, Ma Ke said with a wry smile: "Yan Shenggong, if it weren't for the fact that this official and Master Ke didn't help you, it was really Yue Yang's arrogance was too arrogant, even if you were on the fold, it would be useless, but it would provoke others to summon trouble for you." ”

Yan Shenggong jumped up: "What? Could it be that he still dares to be unreasonable to his father? ”

"It's not just unreasonable," Ma Ke hesitated for a moment before saying, "Yan Shenggong, you just came to Jinan Mansion, and you don't know what happened a few days ago. I'm afraid you don't know, a few days ago, the scholars and merchants in the city launched a strike in the establishment, and gathered a large number of people to surround the government to find him a theory, but the butcher ordered the soldiers to poison the scholars and merchants in the city, and hundreds of scholars and merchants were ...... Killed by this thief......" At this point, Mako's tears were already raining down.

"What? Is this really the case? ”

Yan Shenggong was stunned, he really didn't expect that there were such crazy people in the world, even the scholars were killed, did he want to isolate himself from the world? He stammered, "He'...... He's ...... How dare he do this, isn't he afraid of being condemned by the whole world? ”

Ke Zhennan sighed: "If he was afraid, he wouldn't have killed so recklessly in Jinan Mansion." ”

A few days ago, Yueyang's killing in Jinan Mansion really frightened a large number of people, that day was filled with the unique whistles and firecrackles of the Xuan army, and the blood of hundreds of merchants and scholars was stained on the streets...... (To be continued......)
