Zhou Yanru sighed, with his talent, how could he not understand the emperor's meaning? What else can 'leaf' mean? Leaves? The emperor waited for his process, he waited for the emperor's instructions, this is all a matter of knowing it, he wanted to ask the emperor to have a clear range, it is impossible to arrest and kill people so unlimitedly, is it really necessary to kill all the people in this Nanjing city? Do you really want to kill all the people in Jiangnan? Don't say it's impossible, even if you really want to kill, you don't have such a big power! Now that Nanjing is a closed city, these people have become turtles in the urn, and when they go to places outside Nanjing, they kill one town after another, and they have to force Jiangnan to rebel.

You're telling me to cut all the leaves and wait for new leaves to grow, but when will this leaf be cut off as a head? Which are the leaves? Which are the branches? How to tell the difference?

Zhou Yanru slapped his head hard, regretting his trip to Jiangnan even more, what did he push into the fire pit? Is he crazy, or is the emperor crazy?

On the second day, the scope of arrest was even larger, Zhou Yanru's order was to arrest all the people involved in Xu Honggen and Xu Hongji's reverse case, Zhou Yanru had already determined the case of Xu Honggen and Xu Hongji, and issued a list of documents, of course, in the name of himself, the minister of the Imperial Mission, because with the further expansion of the scope of arrest, the words of Bang An Min will not be issued. The common people are going to make a fuss!

Who has ever seen this kind of battle, sealing off such a big city and arresting people constantly? Non-stop killing? Caught up with the slaughterhouse.

Of course. Zhou Yanru also released people, and after finding out those low-level implicated people, what is a low-level implicated person, that is, a person who has no money, he will be released. This is Zhou Yanru's distinction between 'leaves' and 'branches', it can't be a person who doesn't have any industry, it's also a 'branch', right?

For five whole days. Jingshi never sent a single telegram again, but the daily telegram from Nanjing was indispensable, and Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen was in control of the progress of Nanjing. adopted the attitude of letting Zhou Yanru do anything.

More than 2,000 families have been killed, more than 10,000 people have died, and all the departments and yamen in Nanjing are full of detainees, and Zhou Yanru can no longer sit still. To Gao Dewei Road. "When you send a telegram to Jingshi today, you must not only explain the situation here, but also tell the emperor that I plan to open the city tomorrow, and I can't keep it like this forever, and there will be chaos after a long time."

Gao Dewei didn't care so much, he just sent Zhou Yanru's meaning to Jingshi.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's reply was very simple, "Accurate." ”

This is the word 'quasi'. Zhou Yanru was in trouble again, and Nanjing was opened. But what about places outside of Nanjing? The tens of thousands of people involved in the case can fill a big house with confessions alone, what should I do next? Do you really want to force those big families to put themselves in danger and join forces to rebel against the imperial court? The forces in Jiangnan are much more fierce than the anti-people! This is really messing up, who can stop it?

As soon as Nanjing opened, all parts of the country immediately knew what was happening in Nanjing, and the world was in chaos! This time the chaos is completely different from the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen in Beijing, the emperor made a move on the Gyeonggi region, everyone is at most verbally condemned, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, no one can abandon the family business and embark on the road of rebellion, but Nanjing is around, everyone is in danger, and the gentry from all over the country quickly united together, just waiting to see Zhou Yanru's next move! And because Zhou Yanru is also the minister of the Qincha, and he is the only Beijing official in the investigation of Xu Honggen and Xu Hongji, and he is also a cabinet minister, all the spearheads are pointed at Zhou Yanru, and he has also become a public enemy of the whole people.

You can't stop stopping, Zhou Yanru has no choice but to go forward!

Why can't you stop, if you just check the people in Nanjing, and don't check any other places, then people will say that your court is going to Nanjing to collect money, in this case, the pressure will go to the emperor's head, not to say how loyal Zhou Yanru is to serve the country, Jiangnan Gate Valve is not happy, he will not be able to kill him for a while, if the emperor is not happy, he will die immediately, a telegram matter.

Zhou Yanru remembered the original intention of going to Beijing this time, which was to carry out demolition and relocation in Jiangnan and collect money for the emperor, in fact, now that the money is enough, it is just necessary to see how much it will cost to arrest or kill those gentry who have already prepared.

Killing in one place in Nanjing is to kill behind closed doors, the resistance encountered is limited, the number of family members in the city is limited, and compared with thousands of officers and soldiers, the combat effectiveness is also pitiful, and the forces outside Nanjing are completely different.

Zhou Yanru had a goal in his heart, and he told the emperor that the four richest places, Yangzhou, Suzhou, Nanjing and Hangzhou, the focus of these four places is Hangzhou, far away, if you kill all the way from Nanjing to Hangzhou, how much financial resources will be lost, Zhou Yanru does not know.

In order to show his innocence, Zhou Yanru did not touch the silver from the Nanjing circle this time, the silver was kept by Gao Dewei and Shi Kefa together, he only played a supervisory role in it, Shi Kefa is from the ground of Jiangsu, since the emperor can let him come here to be a big man, he must be extremely trusting, as for Gao Dewei, needless to say, he can communicate directly with the emperor every day, needless to say.

When Gao Dewei temporarily obtained more than 40 million taels of silver from Nanjing, and Zhou Yanru's plan to divide his troops and report to Jingshi about Suzhou and Yangzhou at the same time, Zhu Youzhen, the emperor of Chongzhen, was still noncommittal. Yiqiē was still in the expectation of Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen.

"Your Majesty, the army of Cao Wenzhao and Sun Chuanting is already in the camp of the Imperial Forest Army outside Tianjin." Cao Huachun rushed to report to Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen as soon as possible.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen straightened up calmly, "Rest for three days, I don't see them anymore, you tell Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Wenzhao and Sun Chuanting what I mean, the whole army is under the unified command of Lu Xiangsheng, let go of the fight!" ”

Shandong governor Sun Yuanhua and Shandong general Zhang Keda have been fighting with Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming in Dengzhou for a long time, although Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen did not grasp that his Imperial Forest Army would be completely victorious, but the Imperial Forest Army combined forces, there were tens of thousands of troops, and more than 3,000 rebels were defeated, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen still felt that the problem was not big, which is why he didn't call Qin Liangyu to come, the army moved, what kind of consumption was it? It's not that it's appropriate to fight a war with a lot of people, it's not appropriate to use artillery to fight mosquitoes, soldiers and horses go first before they move grain and grass, and grain and grass are king.

Cao Wenzhao nodded yes, and was about to go down to make arrangements, but was stopped by Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen.

"How are the Chinese New Year's Eve celebrations arranged? In Tianjin, it should be the same as in Beijing, and all the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army will be given four times the salary in advance! Make it clear to them that the Jingguan festival is three times as much, and they are even higher than the Jingguan in my heart! Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen said hopefully, as a dictatorial emperor, the only thing that can support him to implement his ruling power is the army and his imperial party, the imperial party cannot fight, and the army can do anything in wartime, this is why Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen has always advocated that the soldiers are good enough to eat, and the soldiers are fine but not too many, not to say that a dozen or two hundred thousand people can come out.

If Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen gritted his teeth, he would be able to get an army of 100,000 at any time, but what is the use of an army of 100,000 who can't do anything just by eating? Is it adding a heavy burden to the already stretched finances? It's okay to develop artillery, the key is to develop and produce the ironclad ship, which is really a huge gold-swallowing beast for Daming at this time!

In addition to muskets, artillery and ironclad ships, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen also thought about whether to get the car out first, although the internal combustion engine was not out, but the technology of the steam engine has been formed, and the technology of building a steam locomotive has matured, but thinking that the area under his jurisdiction is not large, and the roads are not very good, he dispelled this idea.
