The civil servants were all disappointed.

But these civil officials are not good at saying anything.

After all, the current emperor Zhu Youzhen is no longer something they can disobey.

Today's Zhu Youjian has military and financial power, and the rebellious civilian officials are already a heinous crime, how dare these civilian officials have the slightest beak.

And the vassal kings were a little moved in their hearts, thinking that His Majesty was still his own family after all, although the methods were ruthless, but in the end the punishment for civil officials was heavier than for their own Zhu family.

In fact, what they didn't know was that Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen was already merciful enough.

According to Song Yingxing's report, since a large number of captives participated in the industrial construction of the Ming Dynasty, the output of various industrial products of the Ming Dynasty has increased significantly.

Even, if these large numbers of captives continued to participate in the industrial construction of the Ming Dynasty and engaged in free and high-risk work, the industrial plan of the Ming Dynasty could be completed in advance, and the Northern Expedition could also be carried out in advance.

Zhu Youzhen didn't know whether Song Yingxing deliberately used the reason that the industrial construction of the Ming Dynasty needed labor to achieve the purpose of indirectly dissuading himself, the emperor, from killing wildly, or whether he was really showing that the industrial construction of the Ming Dynasty urgently needed a large amount of labor.

However, Zhu Youzhen had to admit that with the development of Daming industry, the demand for population has indeed increased sharply.

In particular, heavy industry, especially some high-risk industries, requires some cheap labor to participate.

But the reality was that most of the Ming population was in the hands of the gentry, either their servants or their tenant farmers or members of their clans.

If Zhu Youzhen wants to develop capital industry, he has to exploit a large number of cheap labor in the early stage to increase the industrial output value.

In this way, more outstanding craftsmen can be concentrated in higher-end industrial production, and the speed of Daming industry to develop new things can be promoted.

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen was a little more merciful, did not kill them all, and tried his best to let some implicated people who had little to do with political reality replace Zhu Lian with obedience to hard labor.

In fact, it was only after the factory labor that I learned that six or seven hours of non-stop labor a day was more painful than being put to death.

There is no freedom, no human rights, no system for improving treatment, only non-stop labor.

Zhu Youzhen has unwittingly become a criminal capitalist, and has gradually changed from a butcher to a vampire.

No further ado.

On this day, after the last public trial of Tang Shiji, the former imperial history of the left capital who participated in the uprising, Gao Zhuo, the secretary of the Criminal Department, read out the final verdict against Tang Shiji, that is, Ling Chi was sentenced to 3,500 knives!

Tang Shiji, the imperial history of Zuodu, never thought that he would be sentenced to 3,500 knives Ling Chi capital punishment!

Tang Shiji fainted on the spot.

After he was woken up by someone splashing him with a bucket of cold water, Tang Shiji knelt in front of Gao Ju without thinking about it:

"Brother Zhilou, please, please plead with Your Majesty for me, Wechen knows it's wrong, Wechen is really wrong! Wechen should not be dissatisfied with His Majesty's new policy, Wechen should not oppose His Majesty's increase in business taxes, Wechen is willing to give all his property, as long as His Majesty is willing to spare his life, Wechen is willing to do anything! Or give Weichen a whole corpse. ”

Gao Zhuo, the secretary of the Criminal Department, waved his hand.

Soon, Tang Shiji was pulled down, and suddenly a miserable scream sounded, and the vassal kings and civil officials on the entire public trial platform were shocked.

Zhang Bingzhen, the former governor of Zhejiang, walked up with various signs and kept giggling, but when he was announced to be sentenced to 3,500 knives, he shouted loudly:

"Don't, don't, don't do this to me, Your Majesty, Weichen is innocent, Weichen just agreed to Jiannu's spies in a moment of confusion, these are all arranged by Zhang Shenyan, the old thief;

I beg Your Majesty not to treat Weichen like this, Weichen is a two-list jinshi, a Qingliu Hanlin, a disciple of Confucius and Mencius, and a protégé of the Son of Heaven, how can you be so ruthless, Your Majesty!

Wechen begged Your Majesty, begged Your Majesty to spare Wechen, Wechen is willing to emulate Shi Gong, willing to emulate Tai Shi Gong was castrated, Wechen promises to be a good minister who is only loyal to His Majesty in the inner court! Whining! ”

Zhang Bingzhen kept kowtowing in the direction of Miyagi, and kept chattering in her mouth.

"Shut up! Zhang Bingzhen, just because you can be compared with Shi Gong, and you can be compared with Tai Shi Gong! My ministers are also traitors like you, and they can be if they want to! ”

Wang Chengen, the commander of Dongchang, listened to Zhang Bingzhen's words, but did not prevent the people from the Criminal Department from executing Zhang Bingzhen, and even reprimanded him angrily on the spot.

Because he knows that now His Majesty is watching from behind, and if he has more contact with civil officials, His Majesty will always remember him.

Zhang Bingzhen was also directly executed, and screamed for three whole days.

Next is Guo Yong.

When Guo Yong was executed, the executioner of the Ming Dynasty was skilled enough to execute Guo Yong with his eyes closed.

Since the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, because of the fierce political and military struggles at home and abroad, and Zhu Youzhen's iron-blooded tyranny has also been going on, the felons who have been punished by Ling Chi have been emerging in an endless stream.

This has also directly promoted the great improvement of the surgical operation of Daming's medical career.

Some of the executioners had been selected to participate in surgical treatment in the field hospital of the Ming Guards.

Zhu Youzhen also specially ordered the steward eunuch of the imperial pharmacy to set up the Daming Royal Hospital in Nanjing, and this hospital not only served as a hospital, but also specialized in clinical medicine and special surgical treatment.

Daming or the whole of Chinese medicine is based on traditional Chinese medicine, and the internal medicine treatment has been perfected, but the surgical treatment is relatively scarce.

Of course, it doesn't mean that there are no surgical doctors in the Ming Dynasty, but there are relatively few.

Anyway, no one would have thought that these prisoners who were Ling Chi had quietly promoted the development of the Ming Dynasty's dissection career, and more than one Song Ci had appeared in the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty spares your life, Weichen doesn't want to die like this, it's so painful! Wechen doesn't dare, Wechen doesn't dare anymore! ”

Guo Yong also died in crying.

It took a long time for civilian officials to be executed, and they had to be criticized and severely punished, so it took two months for the military attache to take his turn.

For military attachés, except for the severe punishment of the adjutant general and above, the rest were only beheaded, or ordered to undergo labor reform for life.

By November of the twenty-first year of Chongzhen, the entire area of Taipingmen in Nanjing City was almost blood-red.

No less than 10,000 people have been executed here, which is comparable to a major case in the early Ming Dynasty.

However, unlike the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, although the Taipingmen area of Nanjing City has been crying for months, and the blood has not diminished, no one thinks that this place is so eerie and terrifying, but feels that the world has become much safer than before.
