In three days, more than 200 powerful and wealthy gentry in Nanjing were taken down, and almost emptied the homes of the wealthy gentry in Nanjing, even if there were left, there were very few.

More than 200 families, plus their relatives, have arrested more than 20,000 people, and the prison in Nanjing City simply cannot accommodate so many prisoners, so Chu Yi sent people to build an open-air prison outside Nanjing City to detain these criminals, and sent thousands of troops to personally guard them.

Raiding the family and taking people, these gentry and powerful families can be said to be rich and noble families no matter which one of them can be called a rich family, even the smallest gentry, if you take stock of their family property, they have at least tens of thousands of taels of family wealth.

This is still the smallest of the gentry families, as for the top noble families, they are all the marquis and earl homes rewarded by the original imperial court, which can be said to have been inherited for hundreds of years.

When Nanjing City fell, there were not a few powerful people in Nanjing City who escaped at all, and Nanjing City itself was a place where the powerful gathered, what kind of choice would these magnates make after King Ning entered Nanjing City?

Moreover, these magnates have huge power, and they can be said to be intertwined in the land south of the Yangtze River, and it is no exaggeration to say that these magnates in Nanjing City definitely have a strong control.

And Chu Yi wanted to open the sea and raise taxes, so he naturally stood on the opposite side of these people, otherwise these people would not have caused so many ups and downs, and even did not hesitate to launch King Ning to try to change the dynasty.

The top gentry and powerful families can confiscate millions of taels of family wealth at will.

People are easy to catch, the speed of this raid is really not fast, for several days, Fang Li, Tang Bohu and others almost day and night led people to raid the house, and a cart of gold, silver and jewelry was pulled into the palace.

Several large halls of the imperial palace in Nanjing City were vacated to store all kinds of property that had been copied out of the house, and a steady stream of property was pulled into the palace, and it can be said that for several days, the carriages and horses transporting the property never stopped.

Qi Hu cautiously walked into the study with a stack of classics at this time, and saw Chu Yi sitting there looking through Jinyiwei's information.

A few steps forward, Qi Hu carefully placed some of the classics obtained from the copying on the table.

Chu Yi put down the news from the brocade guard, raised his head and glanced at the thick stack of classics on the table.

As Chu Yi's side, Qi Hu naturally knew that Chu Yi had an unusual preference for the classics written by the sages and Confucians, so these people under Chu Yi were naturally very knowledgeable and would carefully collect these classics.

In the past few days alone, more than a dozen classics have been presented almost every day, and Chu Yi has also gained a lot of luck from these classics.

Glancing at Qi Hu, Chu Yi said slowly: "Qi Hu, how did Fang Li and Tang Bohu deal with it, can the matter of raiding the house be done?" ”

Qi Hu hurriedly said: "Back to the Governor, the raid has been completed, and now Fang Li and Tang Bohu are counting the income from the raid, and it won't be long before the results will be available." ”

Chu Yi nodded slightly.

For the income from the seizure, to be honest, Chu Yi didn't care very much, as for how much property he could copy, Chu Yi could roughly guess in his heart.

Jiangnan is prosperous, and most of the maritime merchants and gentry are in Jiangnan, not to mention these gentry and magnates in Nanjing.

I dare not say that the wealth gathered in Nanjing will exceed that of Beijing.

This time, he almost emptied all the gentry and magnates in Nanjing, and it would be strange to say that he didn't loot tens of millions of taels of silver.

Through the sea, overseas silver has begun to flow into the Ming Dynasty in large quantities, although it has not yet reached its peak, but a considerable part of the silver flowing into the Ming Dynasty has been precipitated in the prosperous Jiangnan.

It is a pity that this wealth did not fall into the hands of those people, but was concentrated in the hands of a small group of people, needless to say that these people who occupied a considerable amount of wealth were these magnates and gentry.

These gentry and magnates have exhausted the wealth accumulated for generations, and I don't know how much of this wealth is stained with blood, but now it has all fallen into the hands of the imperial court.

A rush of footsteps came, Chu Yi looked, and saw Xu Tianzuo coming quickly with a letter with a happy face, and as soon as he entered the door, he said to Chu Yi with a happy face: "Boss, good news, good news!" ”

Chu Yi smiled slightly, glanced at Xu Tianzuo and said, "It seems that the news of Wang Shouren's attack on Yangzhou City has arrived!" ”

Xu Tianzuo, who was originally happy, couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and his face showed a little doubt, the good news in his hand was the good news that Wang Shouren sent people to break through Yangzhou City.

More than a dozen families such as the Xie family and the Mo family in Yangzhou City united to form a rebel army of as many as twenty or thirty thousand, occupying one place in Yangzhou, which can be said to be the most powerful and the strongest among the many rebels who responded to King Ning.

Wang Shouren went south to quell the rebellion, and wherever he passed along the way, it can be said that those large and small forces entrenched on one side were simply vulnerable, and they were easily pacified by Wang Shouren.

Just pushed all the way over, Wang Shouren's soldiers and horses were more and more, and by the time they arrived at Yangzhou City, Wang Shouren's soldiers and horses had even reached as many as 30,000.

In the final analysis, the rebel army formed by those gentry and magnates was recruited from among the tenants, and after Wang Shouren beheaded those gentry and magnates, these tenants were naturally included in the army by Wang Shouren.

Just like this, it snowballed all the way, and Wang Shouren was stunned to make up as many as 30,000 soldiers and horses to kill in front of Yangzhou City.

If Xie Mingyu and others let them make money or intrigue with others, there are indeed not many people who can calculate them.

But if these people are allowed to lead the army to fight, to be honest, it is really too difficult for them.

Even if some of them had led a fleet to fight against the pirates at sea, the bandits were thieves after all, and a conflict of that magnitude was just a fight between hundreds of people.

But now it is a battle between tens of thousands of people, and if it is not a real commander of the army, I am afraid that tens of thousands of troops may not be able to control it perfectly.

Xie Mingyu and others are in such a situation, it seems that the momentum is huge, and tens of thousands of people occupy Yangzhou City, but it is a pity that there is no talent of generals in Yangzhou City, even if there are generals, Xie Mingyu and these people dare not hand over military power.

Therefore, Xie Mingyu and the others had to lead a part of the men and horses respectively, so although they could barely ensure that the army was not chaotic, the original integrated army was divided into more than a dozen parts at once, and the result can be imagined.

A good army is divided into more than a dozen parts, and no one knows how much combat power it can have.

Wang Shouren, who was under the army of Yangzhou City, learned of the situation in Yangzhou City and directly ordered the army to attack the city.

In Yangzhou City, Xie Mingyu is the most powerful, and Xie Mingyu also leads a team of 5,000 young people to guard the north gate of Yangzhou City.

Wang Shouren was staring at the north gate to attack, and the siege battle was the most tragic, but Wang Shouren did not hesitate to lose and forcibly attacked the city.

The Xie family guarded the north gate of Yangzhou City, but was targeted by Wang Shouren, but it was conceivable that it was only half a day, and the Xie family suffered heavy losses.

Those are all tenants of their Xie family, and if they lose it, they will lose the strength of their Xie family, although several other families have also sent people to help defend the city.

But it is not realistic to want these people to work hard.

As a result, Yangzhou City lasted less than a day and was breached at nightfall.

The news of the destruction of Yangzhou City was naturally transmitted back to Nanjing City by Wang Shouren as soon as possible.

Xu Tianzuo was only slightly stunned and reacted, the speed at which any of Dongchang and Jinyiwei delivered the news would not be slower than the speed at which Wang Shouren sent someone to deliver the good news, not to mention the important news that Yangzhou City was breached.

In the land south of the Yangtze River, in addition to Nanjing City, that is, Yangzhou City, Suzhou City and a few other big cities, the number of rebels exceeded 10,000 people, as for other county seats, even if there were many people and horses, there were very few more than three or five thousand.

With the city of Nanjing and Yangzhou being breached, in fact, the Jiangnan Rebellion was already coming to an end.

Although he said that he had learned about the situation in Yangzhou City through the news from Jinyiwei, Chu Yi still opened the good news and swept it at a glance.

This good news was naturally written by Wang Shouren himself, and the situation in Yangzhou City was explained in detail.

Chu Yi bowed his head slightly and praised: "What a Wang Shouren, sure enough, the art of war is extraordinary, and now it seems that in less than half a month, the Jiangnan Rebellion can be pacified!" ”

Xu Tianzuo couldn't help but say when he heard this: "Thanks to the chief manager's discernment, if it weren't for the chief manager's entrustment of Lord Wang, who would have known that Lord Wang still has such a talent for entering the picture." ”

Everyone knows that Wang Shouren is a civil servant, and it is Chu Yi's value that entrusts him with military power, which leads to the famous Wang Shouren.

Wang Shouren's name has become famous all over the world with the rebellion of King Ning.

Although it is said that Wang Shouren was not able to quell King Ning's rebellion in this life and gained a great reputation, the momentum of King Ning's rebellion this time was extraordinary, and it spread to most of the land south of the Yangtze River. The impact has been extraordinary.

Chu Yi quelled King Ning's rebellion, whether it was the court or the eyes of the world, it was normal, and Wang Shouren's outstanding performance was the biggest highlight of King Ning's rebellion.

Wang Shouren was stunned before the arrival of the imperial court reinforcements, relying on his own ability to unify the local soldiers and horses, first defeated several generals under King Ning, and then seized Nanchang City, the lair of King Ning, and then went down to Jiujiang, plundered Anqing, and now it is in the land south of the Yangtze River like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves across the rebels in the south of the Yangtze River, at least dozens of large and small battles, it can be said that he has not been defeated in a hundred battles.
