270 False accusations and excuses

The most important thing is that Hong Tiancheng just wants to take power, and whether to kill all the European nobles will do more harm than good to him.

Normal antagonism is normal, every time a foreign race invades the local ruling class, it will collapse with a bang, but the enemy of life and death is another matter, when the Mongol expedition to the west was a great success, it was not blindly by killing, and it was also a means for the Mongols to win over local forces, otherwise, where did the hundreds of thousands of servants come from?

In the end, even the Mongol Khans joined the Green Religion or believed in God, not to better rule the place?

Hong Tiancheng played so excessively, it was nothing more than relying on the all-out war system.

But no matter how excessive it is, it needs a bottom line, otherwise, Hong Tiancheng will experience a sea of people's war set off by the aristocratic group.

There are not a few people who will compromise when there is a glimmer of life in the aristocratic class, but in the case of desperation, only God knows what they can do......

Therefore, Hong Tiancheng reserved a bottom line, the right to be withdrawn, but he could leave a small life and some manor property enough to support the whole family for those nobles who surrendered.

To put it simply, originally Hong Tiancheng only deprived the nobles of Toucheng of their military power, but now he wants to take away the administrative power of the nobles, leaving only the real estate where the nobles live and the floating wealth that belongs to them.

Of course, if there are Toucheng nobles who don't know the times during this period and don't agree, Hong Tiancheng doesn't mind taking it away with his life.

Hong Tian became the image of maintaining his courtesy to the nobles of Toucheng, and even decided that the nobles of Toucheng could be allowed to leave the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom with their property after voluntarily handing over their rights.

It's just that these Toucheng nobles who choose to go into exile in other countries can only take their own bloodlines with them, and the slave and serf population is the wealth of the kingdom of heaven!

At the same time as the administrative power was stripped of the administrative power, the nobles would also lose their serf servants, and these nobles would become a wealthy group of people who lived on their own hands.

This is already the maximum grace given by Hong Tiancheng, and he will never allow the local government of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to be inserted into the sand by white people.

2,000 rank-and-file administrative officials were enough to fill the vacancies of these local nobility.

Of course, this kind of thing needs a proper and reasonable 'excuse'.

On the official road in the Kiev region, the convoy guarding Zhang Juzheng was resting among the corpses of a group of white guerrillas, and the Taiping Army line infantry carrying smoothbore guns were sorting out and stacking the corpses one by one.

Zhang Juzheng frowned slightly, looking at these deadly guerrillas that he had lured out as 'bait', and said to the Jinyi Wei spies around him who provided information and attracted reinforcements: "These corpses don't seem to be enough evidence to serve as evidence, for people with a wide range of sources, think about it a little with your brain, you know that this guerrillas can't shake my guards at all." ”

"Prime Minister, please rest assured, our Guanning Iron Cavalry has already gone to the vicinity to 'collect' the corpse, there will definitely be no problem with the identity, and it is fresh enough."

Zhang Juzheng glanced at the Jinyi Wei spy who spoke in surprise, sighed and said nothing, although this is a show, but it needs the corpses of thousands of white people as 'materials', this is the sorrow of the weak.

At the same time, on the periphery of a village inhabited by mountain hunters, a group of elite Guan Ning iron horsemen with heavy armor looked coldly at the curling smoke in the distance.

"Was this village founded by a lowly white dog who disobeyed the discipline of heaven and hid in the mountains and forests?"

The Guanning Iron Cavalry Officer who led the team confirmed angrily to the Jinyi Guard who was riding a traveling horse beside him.

"My lord, please rest assured, these mountain hunters are not willing to convert to believe in the Taiping Army, let alone learn the Chinese that only high-class people can speak, so they fled to live here, and they are not recorded in the copy, and they are used as the corpses of the White Dog guerrillas, and absolutely no one can find out the mistakes."

The officer led by Guan Ning's iron cavalry glanced at the Jinyi Guard's secret agent: "Since you Jinyi Guard have already found out the residence of these disobedient white mountain people, why haven't you exterminated it until now?" ”

"My lord, if there is a shortage of people in the territory of the kingdom today, these mountain people and hunters have no idea of going against us, not to mention the waste of manpower and material resources by sending troops to kill them, it is not good to let them reproduce on their own, and when the kingdom of heaven needs a large number of laborers, then people like me will bring the army of heaven to 'harvest'.

Either as slaves or as corpses for other purposes, the lives of white people are low, but they are still of some use. ”

"Hehe, I always thought that people like me were butchers, but now it seems that you Jinyi Wei don't even have the consciousness of being butchers, because you don't see these alien white people as human beings at all." The Guanning Iron Cavalry Officer who led the team sneered.

The Jinyi Wei spy shrugged his shoulders disappreciatively and replied, "My lord, can you start?" The Prime Minister is short of fresh corpses. ”

The officer of the Guanning Iron Cavalry let out a heavy 'um', put down the mask on the iron helmet, drew his saber and raised it above his head, and shouted to the cavalry behind him: "For the Heavenly King!" Kill!!! ”

The horses that did not put on iron armor flexibly rushed into the peaceful mountain village, but the Jinyi Wei spy did not step forward, he was just a person who led the way and liaison, this kind of murder, they rarely interfered, after all, every Jinyi Wei spy was a precious treasure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

The cries and desperate cries of the white people soon resounded in the mountain village, however, all this was useless under the heavily armed elite Guan Ning Iron Cavalry Knife, and they couldn't even escape, because the war horse of the Guan Ning Iron Horse was enough to chase everyone to death!

This kind of small-scale slaughter of mountain villages is not limited to this place, the population of those mountain hunter settlements is only a few dozen people at most, and in order to gather the corpses, the elite Guanning Iron Cavalry dispatched more than ten small units at the same time, and under the information provided by the Jinyi Wei secret agents, they raided and killed.

Under the relatively smooth plan, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom soon spread the news that the convoy of the then prime minister Zhang Juzheng from Vilno to Kiev was attacked by a large number of white bandit guerrillas.

It is said that the Heavenly King was furious when he heard this, and ordered a strict investigation, and under the full investigation of Jinyiwei, the case was directly pointed at a group of local nobles who were embarrassed and traitorous under sufficient 'evidence'.

The Kyiv region is the hardest hit area by the war, the rebel forces have long been extinguished, there may be dozens of bandits in small groups, but the scale of thousands of people is impossible, and the resistance forces within the kingdom of heaven, after the withdrawal of the Christian Brotherhood, have already been hit by the body, under sufficient evidence, there is only one group left who has the ability and interests to kill Zhang Juzheng!

The law is nothing but a tool used by the ruling class of the country to legitimize against the lower classes of the people and the rich, especially when there is ample evidence on the surface, and the local aristocrats even pale in their rebuttals.
