Including Shandong, hundreds of county governments, who dare to defy the law, are obviously more than one Wang family.

Therefore, Wei Zheng, who is located in the palace in the north of Beijing, received documents from more than a dozen local tyrants who were exterminated because they disobeyed the county government decree in just ten days.

Born as bandits, Wei Zheng, who believes in power from the barrel of a gun, obviously does not take these local tyrants and private armed forces seriously.

For these documents, just one glance at them was thrown aside.

However, Wang Peng, who was born as a traditional literati and was in awe of the local gentry and landlords, was not so relieved.

In Wang Peng's eyes, the landlords and gentry of the Ming Dynasty were not only rich, but also had deep local prestige. As long as they are willing, it is very simple to casually erect the county yamen and make the yamen an ornament.

Under such circumstances, if the Haw Par Army continues to use such heavy-handed means to shake the foundation of the local rule of these landlords and gentry. Wang Peng didn't dare to imagine whether these landlords and gentry would directly unite and fight against the Tiger and Leopard Army together.

Although the Haw Par Army was not afraid of battle, dealing with these landlords and gentry and the local armed forces in their hands was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables. However, the entire Beizhili and Shandong yamen at all levels were afraid of these civil strife.

Because, once these people really make any rebellious moves, their destructive power is no less than a post-Golden Tartar invasion.

Under such circumstances, the post-war reconstruction will undoubtedly cost the Beiwang Mansion countless financial revenues.

Therefore, while Wei Zheng threw these documents aside, Wang Peng couldn't help but raise his concerns......

To Wang Peng's surprise, after he finished talking about these worries. The expression on Wei Zheng's face was not only calm, but also did not change in the slightest. Instead, he showed a mocking smile from the heart.

Just when Wang Peng's face quickly showed a trace of incomprehension. Wei Zheng smiled and asked: "Lord Wang, do you think that Beizhili, which was sacked twice by the Houjin Tartars, except for the Beijing City under our feet, there are still those places that have not been destroyed......

Wang Peng, who looked puzzled, subconsciously shook his head and replied......

"The entire Beizhili, except for Beijing City, everything that can be destroyed has been destroyed by the Tartars......"

Wang Peng's voice just fell. Wei Zheng said: "Since this is the case, even if those gentry and landlords unite to rebel, it will not have much impact on the areas that have been destroyed...... So, your worries don't exist at all. ”

"This ......" Under Wei Zheng's point-to-point explanation, Wang Peng immediately reacted from incomprehension.

At this time, Wei Zheng's voice reached Wang Peng's ears again......

"Lord Wang, I don't know if you've ever heard of this...... Break and then stand...... This king believes that the current two provinces of Beizhili and Shandong are for us. Breaking and standing up is the best solution......"

Why? There are two reasons for this......"

"Tong Guò is a heavy-handed method of breaking and standing up, and in one fell swoop to destroy all the enemies who threaten us in the two provinces. And so it goes. Our Haw Par Army can carry out reforms in the two provinces in a big way, and turn the two provinces into an iron-clad base for our Haw Par Army......"

"You must know that the various policies formulated by our Tiger and Par Army are very beneficial to the people. As long as we eliminate those landlords and gentry who want to destroy, the hearts and minds of the people in Beizhili and Shandong provinces will be very completely in the hands of our tiger and leopard army. ”

"Second, as you just said, for the localities, more than eighty percent of the land and wealth are in the hands of these landlords and gentry. If we exterminate these landlords and gentry, then the vast wealth they hold in their hands will fall into the hands of our tiger and leopard army...... With all this wealth, do we have to worry about the rebuilding of these two provinces? ”

"Besides, behind us, there is also the support of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, no matter what difficulties and problems, we are not afraid of ......"

"Therefore, for this kind of practice of breaking and then standing, and never suffering from the future. The royal palace not only cannot obstruct it, but also encourages it...... Of course, we can't relax at all when we change our guard......"

"Now that Shandong and Beizhili have fallen into our hands, the two field infantry divisions that we have deployed on the border of the two provinces to defend against the imperial court will also be useless. The king's idea is to immediately let these two divisions march into Beizhili and Shandong to deal with unexpected ...... that may arise at any time."

"In addition, if your worries really appear, with the virtue of the imperial court, you will definitely not let go of this opportunity to attack us, and even secretly copy the control. So, in this regard, we also need to be prepared......"

"Not only that, but we can instead use guò to break and stand up this time, and see how many of the low-level officials left to us by the imperial court are spies sent by the imperial court, and how many of them are really doing things......"

"As for that, I'll let the newly formed internal guard handle it. As for you, Lord Wang, there is only one task, to ensure that the yamen at all levels do not indiscriminately kill innocents and destroy our own system and laws......"

"All the landlords and gentry who have been copied must ensure that the evidence is sufficient...... For those landlords and gentry who support us and have no bad deeds, the yamen at all levels must not only not suppress them, but also support them......"

Wei Zheng's inference was right, for the matter in front of him, the imperial court did intend to intervene.

The imperial court and the army, although withdrawing from Beizhili and Shandong. However, the Jinyiwei and Dongchang spies scattered by the imperial court in the two provinces not only did not evacuate, but also added something with the support of the imperial court.

Therefore, as soon as the imperial court resumed normal operation in Nanjing, the news that the Haw Par Army had forcibly divided the fields in the two provinces of Beizhili and Shandong, and that they had been killed, was sent to Emperor Chongzhen through the Jinyi Guard.

Seeing that almost thirty percent of the provinces of the Ming Dynasty fell into the hands of Wei Zheng, Chongzhen, who was holding back a ball of fire in his heart. After reading the information, I laughed out loud because of excitement.

Then, facing the ministers, he said very excitedly: "Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng, don't you know that the landlords and gentry are the foundation of my Ming Dynasty's rule?" If you kill them on a large scale, isn't that a way to survive and force these landlords and gentry to rebel? ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, I can say for sure that this is the best news I have received since I came to Nanjing......

As soon as Chongzhen's words fell, a minister stood up and said to Emperor Chongzhen with a flattering face: "Congratulations to His Majesty, congratulations to His Majesty, this is God helping His Majesty, helping me in the Ming Dynasty......"

"As long as the landlords and gentry of the two provinces of Beizhili and Shandong join forces to rebel, the Haw Par Army will be mired in a war to quell civil strife...... When the time comes, the imperial court will be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman......"

After repeated blows by the Tiger and Leopard Army and the Houjin Tartars, Emperor Chongzhen is no longer the original Emperor Chongzhen.

Therefore, in these words of compliment, Emperor Chongzhen not only did not show the slightest smile on his face, but frowned.

After taking a deep breath and quickly suppressing the excitement brought to you by the good news. Emperor Chongzhen's voice regained his confidence and sounded in the hall again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, for this opportunity given to me by God, what do you think the imperial court should do, so as to reverse the current situation that is very unfavorable to the imperial court......

Qian Zongshu, the first assistant of the cabinet, did not speak, and others would definitely not stand up and steal the limelight of the first assistant of the cabinet.

Therefore, as soon as Emperor Chongzhen's words fell, more than a dozen pairs of eyes seemed to have been discussed, and at the same time converged on Qian Zongshu.

Qian Zongshu, who was standing at the head of the courtiers, only spoke after a short period of contemplation......

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the imperial court should start from three aspects...... "First, as far as the old minister knows, there are many rumors that are unfavorable to the imperial court among the people now. Lao Chen believes that this news in front of him can not only dispel these rumors that are unfavorable to the imperial court, but also make all the landlords and gentry in the south fully support the imperial court......"

Emperor Chongzhen's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously exclaimed: "I understand, Aiqing, what you mean is to publicize the fact that the tiger and leopard army killed the landlords and gentry in Beizhili and Shandong and forcibly took away the fields......

Qian Zongshu affirmed loudly: "Yes, Your Majesty...... It is necessary not only to hype, but also to exaggerate as much as possible...... Let all the landlords and gentry in Jiangnan believe that once the forces of the Haw Par Army enter Jiangnan, the butcher's knife of the Haw Par Army will be pointed at them. The huge wealth they have accumulated over several lifetimes will also be appropriated by the Haw Par Army......"

At the same time, we must also let all the people in Jiangnan know that only by following the imperial court and supporting the imperial court can their safety, wealth, and status be guaranteed...... Lao Chen believed that as long as the imperial court did this, the landlords and gentry of the entire Jiangnan would unconditionally support the imperial court. If the court asks for money, they will give it, and if the court asks for people, they will give people ......"

"After all, compared with the raiding of the Haw Par Army, money and food are just things outside the body......

"High ...... Really high...... This ploy is not only clever, but also very vicious, and just one propaganda made all the landlords and gentry in Jiangnan hate the Haw Par Army to the core......"

"Yes, Shousuke-sama deserves to be Shousuke-sama, and such a famous method can be thought of......"

"If this goal can really be achieved, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness of the Haw Par Army is, there is no way to break into Jiangnan ......"

"And that's not all...... For the sake of their own lives, these landlords and gentry will definitely support the imperial court without reservation. With the support of the huge financial resources of these landlords and gentry, the imperial court will no longer be short of silver, and it will be able to train more troops......"

After Qian Zongshu finished speaking, all kinds of exclamations began to sound in the court.

Even Emperor Chongzhen, who was sitting on the dragon chair, couldn't help but be amazed by this idea......

Therefore, at this time, Emperor Chongzhen, a pair of eyes directly spewed out two very hot gazes. For the future of the Ming Dynasty, I am full of hope again......

Then, Emperor Chongzhen, who was sitting on the dragon chair, stared at Qian Zongshu with a face full of expectations, waiting for Qian Zongshu's next words. (To be continued......)
