The short man was in his fifties, scared and urinated, "I am, my lord, I am." ”

These characters, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen only knew from the book, and he had not seen specific people! Seeing these two party leaders so cowardly, I was even more angry in my heart, how could I be such a high-ranking official? "Detain Nguyen Vinh Kang and Gan Weile separately, and I will interrogate them personally! As for the rest of you, if you know how much about these two guys, report it to you immediately, and you can save your life, and I will only give you one hour! After the hour, if there is nothing to explain, don't blame the official for being ruthless! ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's voice was originally a little scary and cold through the mask, but now it sounds like a life-urging rune!

Everyone was scared to sift the chaff on the ground, how many people have seen such a scene?

Yang Qicong, the leader of the West Factory, immediately followed the emperor's orders and detained everyone equally!

Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen called Gao Dewei, and immediately recruited all the brocade guards in Yangzhou to him according to the contact information on a note! Gao Dewei took the note and went busily!

The reason why Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen did not recruit Jinyiwei in advance was that on the one hand, he was not very relieved about these Jinyiwei, after all, he was out of the Gyeonggi area, and on the other hand, it was also out of secrecy, but he still had to use people!

Where can Ruan Yongkang and Gan Weile stand up to such a position, and as soon as they are detained in solitary detention, they will explain everything clearly!

Wait until Jinyiwei comes over and interrogate more than 1,000 people in the house one by one, and within two hours, a pair of confessions from everyone will be combined! Already the role played by Nguyen Vinh Kang in Nam Zhili. Nguyen Vinh Kang and Kam Wai Lok's location of the silver. It's all clear!

At this time. It's dawn! Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen immediately asked Gao Dewei to go to the Yangzhou camp, and asked Shi Kefa to bring a hundred officials over, leaving only a few people who were engaged in party affairs to continue to brainwash the soldiers of the Yangzhou camp!

The people of Yangzhou don't know what's going on! I saw notices plastered all over the city!

A team of West Factory Absolute Guards! Although I don't speak, I am very efficient! The captains of Zheng Zhihu's sailors also played a great role, once a place, the imperial power occupied the main position, then other forces. In the contest with the imperial power, it is not worth mentioning!

It is said that Ruan Yongkang, the governor of Yangzhou Daying, and the prefect of Yangzhou have been corrupted and imprisoned by the imperial court, and all those who can expose their cases will be rewarded! The entire Yangzhou was under martial law for five days.

The people of Yangzhou City have not had such an experience for a long time, and over the years, Nanzhili is equivalent to an independent small imperial court, and they have felt for the first time that the imperial power from the north is so domineering!

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen suddenly regained the supreme position in everyone's hearts!

"They deserve it, these people are so lawless, it's long overdue!"

"It's not that we are in Nanzhili. The sky is high and the emperor is far away! When did the imperial court come? There is no news at all, it seems that the world of the Ming Dynasty. It's still the emperor's world! ”

"It's just, is this a whim, or is the emperor really serious?"

"I don't know, let's take a look first! However, I heard that the emperor carried out a grand plan in the capital and killed tens of thousands of corrupt officials at one time, which cannot be faked! ”

The people are talking a lot, and the atmosphere in the entire Yangzhou City is unprecedentedly high! Since ancient times, the arrest of corrupt officials has been a favorite of the common people!

For a whole day, thousands of officials in Yangzhou were locked up at home! The officials who are on the seventh grade will all be taken to the government to take care of them! If you don't have a title, as long as you explain the evidence of the common corruption of ink, you can be punished lightly! At this time, it reflects Jinyiwei's ability to do things! Their group of Jinyi guards, who have stayed in Yangzhou for a long time, actually know everything well!

The political and legal system of the Ming Dynasty itself is very comprehensive and complete! It's just that the system itself has been completely rotten, and the aforementioned imperial history took the lead in greedy ink and silver, that's it, not only the imperial history, but even the Jinyi Wei also colluded with local officials, can the world be clean?

At noon on the second day, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen personally went to the largest square in Yangzhou and beheaded thousands of Yangzhou officials! He didn't want to kill! But these people are not only greedy for ink and silver, but many of them are burdened with blood debts! Not killing is not enough to outrage the people!

Seeing more than a thousand heads rolling to the ground, the entire Yangzhou City was shocked! Everyone has only heard of the methods of the capital, but they really saw it with their own eyes, and they know what the ruling style of Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen is?

"The evidence of these people's crimes is definitely not limited to this! Kill them because they have a blood debt, not just for corruption! Now that everyone is dead, you can rest assured and boldly expose it! The shopkeepers and proprietors of all the businesses in the city, as long as they are in Yangzhou! An hour later, come to the prefect's yamen to gather! Whoever has passed the hour shall be guilty of complicity! Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen shouted!

Many of the people who came to see the excitement were businessmen! Two out of ten Yangzhou people are businessmen! Big businesses from all over the country gather!

At that time, the two most powerful merchant groups in Yangzhou City, and even in the entire Ming Dynasty, were the Shaanshan Gang and the Hui Gang!

The Shaanxi Gang is very easy to understand, that is, the merchants of Shaanxi and Shanxi, while the Hui Gang is mainly Jiangnan merchants related to the Anhui people!

In the middle and early Ming Dynasty, the Shaanxi merchant gang rose on the shore of Jingwei and flourished in the hometown of Guangling, known as the earliest and most qualified among the major merchant gangs in the country. However, after the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Hui merchants flocked to Yangzhou to operate the salt industry, overwhelming the Western merchants and forming a monopoly, so that later the general people mentioned the history of Yangzhou salt merchants, most of them "only know that there is Hui, do not know Shanxi", the past of the Qin and Jin Dynasty and the Hui Gang was almost obliterated.

After Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, led the righteous army to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty, the remnants of the Mongols who had defeated Mobei were still eyeing the Central Plains, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack, and the centrifugal tendency of the ethnic minorities in the northwest region was also growing. The emerging Ming Empire had to spend two-thirds of its fiscal revenue on the construction of the northwest frontier, and set up nine border towns along the Great Wall to defend Guanzhong and protect the Beijing Division, of which the four towns of Guyuan, Ningxia, Yansui and Gansu were in Shaanxi. Later, the "trilateral governor" was stationed in Jieguyuan (now belonging to the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, located in the center of the triangle of Xi'an, Lanzhou and Yinchuan), commanding more than 200,000 troops and more than 100,000 war horses, responsible for the border defense area stretching for thousands of miles from Yansui Huangfuchuan (north of Yulin, Shaanxi) in the east, Jiayuguan in the west, and Taomin (now southern Gansu) in the southwest.
