The first wind and rain drifted away

In Tongguan, Shaanxi, Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides sitting here, received the highest instructions from Emperor Chongzhen for an urgent 800-mile increase.

The theme is very simple, Shaanxi corrupt officials, not killing is not enough to thank the world, not punishing the three ethnic groups is not enough to anger the people.

"It seems that the emperor is really angry."

Butcher Hong sighed lightly, turned his head to the prison guard Liu Yuanbin and said, "Gonggong Liu, I don't know what instructions you have?"

Liu Yuanbin is the prison army sent to him by the emperor, and Butcher Hong said this to show respect, after all, he will be supervised by others in the future.

"Of course, we will do it according to the instructions of the emperor, this time we will be dominated by Governor Hong, so we won't have more beaks."

Liu Yuanbin arched in the direction of the capital and said as a matter of course.

This time, he and Hong Chengchou teamed up to develop the Hetao Plain, and the emperor had instructions.

All local government affairs are not allowed to interfere, but the standard battalion of the governor that can be formed, he can't say it, but he has to insert a pole.

This is also very understandable, his position is to supervise the army, and he does not supervise government affairs but the army.

In this regard, he has experience in supervising the battalion of the brave guard.

Butcher Hong nodded murderously, rubbed his hands and walked out of the hall, leaving a sentence, "Then Bendu has gone to arrange." ”

At this time, the Pucheng County Ya, not far from Tongguan, also heard a little wind, and people were panicked.

"Dong Weng, it seems that this time it is very risky?" A staff member with a mustache kept walking around the back hall of the government, and his voice was full of panic.

"Risk, what to worry about, what are the risks?"

The official on the throne smiled mockingly.

He has seen the world, and he is just greedy for some disaster relief food, how to check?

This is not more than the expenditure of the government, the pen has a source, this disaster relief, how many hungry people there are, can the court know?

Isn't that?

The hungry people are alive, they will run, how can the court check?

Fuss!

"I heard that the emperor was furious and said that he would stretch out his hand to punish the three clans." The staff did not know the specific situation of the court, and the fear in their hearts was always there.

"Don't worry, calm down, where is this not the case in the whole Shaanxi?

The Ming Dynasty was like this, and besides, not many people starved to death. ”

The Pucheng County Commander smiled indifferently, twisted three strands of long beard, and soothed the panicked staff without hurrying or slow.

As long as there is no internal chaos, he has confidence.

Dong Weng is also right, according to the law of the imperial court, the case will also be tried by the three divisions of the yamen. In this, Dong Weng has been a lot of points in the past, and several adults are also counted.

Besides, it's not a crime of treason, and the court doesn't have the practice of destroying the three clans! ”

When the staff settled down, their thoughts became active, and they felt more and more that it was impossible for the three tribes to happen.

Intimidation, this is just the emperor's intimidation.

It's just that before the words fell, with a bang, the gate of the government was slammed open, and a group of soldiers in military uniforms surrounded them.

The first one was wearing a big red flying fish suit, carrying an embroidered spring knife at his waist, his cold eyes swept over the two people who were panicked, and he waved his big hand and shouted: "Grab it, take it away!" ”

"Who are you, why did you trespass on the Pucheng County Ya, and is there still a royal law in your eyes?"

The Pucheng county magistrate patted the coffee table and roared loudly in anger.

It's just that the toughness on the surface is difficult to hide the fear in the corners of his eyes, and when Jin Yiwei makes a move, he will be in big trouble.

These people will not be reasonable.

Not to mention the law of Da Ming, it's cool.

"Wang Fa? You deserve it too! Take! ”

This scene began at the same time in the surrounding counties of Pucheng, Shaanxi.

An unprecedented arrest unfolded, from officials, ruffians and hooligans, to black-hearted grain merchants.

Under the guidance of the Jinyi Wei scouts, the governor of the three sides, Hong Chou, personally sat in the town, and his army went out together to stir up the whole of Shaanxi.

Groups of soldiers with steel knives unsheathed frequently appeared in the streets and alleys, or surrounded the local government offices in groups, arresting and raiding the homes of corrupt officials in six prefectures and counties.

At the same time, on the way to Xi'an, a large number of prisoners' families who were put in prison in flails and locks were in an endless stream.

A few days later, after interrogation, the trilateral governor Hong Chengchou issued a verdict in Xi'an to behead these corrupt officials!

The disaster relief and corruption case that caused a sensation in Shaanxi Province has been less than a month from its beginning to its end.

Of course, this case did not go through the Yamen of the Third Division of Shaanxi, and hundreds of lives were hastily sentenced with lightning speed.

One afternoon at the end of Chongzhen's eighth year, the sky was gloomy, and the cold wind blew in the city of Xi'an, which was quite bleak.

But the people of Xi'an were empty, and all of them took to the streets to watch the execution.

Between the east and west city gates, the flat and wide bluestone road has been blocked by officials, inspectors, and soldiers.

Every few steps on either side of the road, a prisoner knelt and behind him stood a soldier standing with a sword in his face.

The prisoners knelt from the straight sides of the west gate to the east gate, their hands tied upside down and strips of cloth tied around their mouths.

In the midst of the surging flow of people, some people walked to the intersection where the four main streets converged, and they saw the civil and military officials of Shaanxi kneeling on the temporarily erected high platform.

Exciting, these dog officials, there are also today.

In the midst of the noise, the drums rumbled, and the people's chattering gradually stopped.

So, more than a dozen generals walked out, raised their arrows and shouted: "Spread the order of Lord Zhou Shangshu, the prisoner is in place, and the body is verified." ”

The sound rippled in the cold wind, and after a moment there was a response.

The officers and soldiers standing behind the prisoners with knives responded in unison: "Returning to Lord Qincha, nine hundred and fifty-one death row prisoners, all of them have been verified and are waiting for orders." ”

In the distance, three horns sounded, and some people shouted in the first section of the street: "Shoot the cannon and execute, behead!" ”

The long word "chop" floated by, and with a "swish" on both sides of the road, the sharp steel knives were raised together, shining with a clear light.

Under the gaze of thousands of people in Xi'an, more than 900 shiny arcs were drawn in shock, blood splashed in the air, and more than 900 human heads rolled to the ground.

In an instant, the air in Xi'an City was filled with a strong bloody atmosphere.

Hiss......

While hundreds of people in Xi'an gasped, dozens of Jinyi captains ran on the road with orders, shouting:

"According to the order of the Great Tomorrow, in the future, those who have the courage to bribe disaster relief materials will be wiped out by the three tribes.

Not killing is not enough to thank the world, not killing is not enough to be angry with the people, but asking the people of Shaanxi for forgiveness with a thousand heads. ”

"Son of Heaven Shengming!"

Suddenly, thousands of Xi'an people had tears in their eyes, and suddenly roared spontaneously.

The Son of Heaven used the heads of corrupt officials to ask for the forgiveness of these small people, which seems to be the practice of Taizu Chengzu, but for more than 200 years, he has only heard of it, but he has not seen it in person.

But now, this scene actually appeared alive in front of their eyes, how could it not be very moving?

Today's courage and open-mindedness are truly amazing.

Soon, the news was transmitted to all parts of Shaanxi with the iron horse to reassure the people, and countless once high-ranking big names died in their homes, which made the people applaud one after another.

For Shaanxi officialdom, it is tantamount to experiencing a ten-magnitude earthquake, and the officials of Shaanxi are frightened, and obediently begin to do things seriously, only begging the emperor to let him go.

After all, there is a lot of on his body, and he can't stand up to inspection.

This also made Zhou Tingru cooperate with officials at all levels during the subsequent disaster relief, and no one dared to have any small calculations.

As for the vacant positions of officials, the question is that Daming still lacks people who want to be officials?

Three-legged toads are hard to find, and two-legged people who want to be officials are everywhere.

With the passage of time, gradually more than Shaanxi, the incident began to spread all over the world at the fastest speed, and the entire Ming Dynasty was shaking!

Of course, the people applauded, they had never seen the scene of the river of blood, but they knew that the emperor had killed so many corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and he was killed for them!

That's enough!

Mingjun's killing of corrupt officials and corrupt officials is politically correct whenever and wherever it is, and it is the right move to buy the hearts and minds of the people.

Especially the sentence "Not killing is not enough to thank the world, not killing is not enough to be angry with the people!" ", which made the people's hearts quickly biased towards Emperor Chongzhen.

Of course, some people are happy and some are worried, not only Shaanxi, but officials all over the world are thinking, when was it so difficult for the Ming Dynasty to be an official?

With just one order, a thousand heads fell to the ground!

In addition to Hongwu and Yongle era, which monarch of the Ming Dynasty has such courage in the past two hundred years?

At the same time, the public sentiment and public opinion from all over the country poured into the capital in an endless stream through the transmission of Jinyiwei's secret agents, and sent it to Emperor Chongzhen's imperial review.

This undoubtedly made Emperor Chongzhen very happy.

Being able to get the support of the people is the most gratifying thing in his eyes.

The current Emperor Chongzhen, to be precise, can be called the Son of Heaven of the people, because he is from the people.

Understanding the suffering of the people and the hatred of corrupt officials, Emperor Chongzhen is very similar to Comrade Zhu Chongba, who founded the country.

In addition, with this action, it is not only the hearts of the people that will be obtained, but also money and land.

So many officials were confiscated, although the rank was a little lower, but there were also a full six million taels of silver, and more land, which was as much as one million acres.

Moreover, it is also a local fertile land in Shaanxi.

And this, there is no doubt that a lot can be done.

First of all, six million taels of silver, although it is a huge amount of money, but the current Emperor Chongzhen did not look at it, and he did not need to be escorted into Beijing, all of which were handed over to Fang Zhenghua for temporary safekeeping.

These taels of silver shall flow out.

King Lu Yan and Lao Sun Tou, who were quelling the rebellion, had already driven Lao Huihui and King Gao Chuang to Chuzhou, and a decisive battle was about to take place.

For this battle, Emperor Chongzhen didn't have much to worry about.

Victory is inevitable!

Since it is a victory, the army will definitely be rewarded.

In addition, there are countless poor people in Shaanxi who are waiting to be fed.

In addition, Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army will also continue to invest.

These are all things that cost money.

Money is a thing, only when you spend it, you know that you can't help it!

Secondly, Emperor Chongzhen allocated millions of acres of fertile land confiscated to official land and let Hong Chengchou lease it to the local poor people for cultivation.

The fertile fields near Pucheng are not the same as the barren northern part of Shaanxi.

This belongs to the vicinity of Xi'an, is the main road of Sanqin, the land of the eight thoroughfares, the fertile land is full of sunshine, rainfall adaptation, in a word, it is conducive to farming.

It is believed that this can solve the living problems of more than 100,000 people.

In this place of Shaanxi, for the era of relying on the sky for food, the people need to be diverted!

Because Emperor Chongzhen clearly knew that this earthquake was at best an appetizer for Shaanxi, which was full of disasters and disasters.

The days of hard work that followed will last for at least ten years, or more.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen attached great importance to the problems of Shaanxi.

Because, this is the best way to cooperate with Lao Sun Tou and King Lu Yan who are fighting on the front line and completely solve the rebels in the northwest.

As long as there are no disaster victims and hungry people, they can't make waves at all.
