Seeing this, Dong Tingsong was quite shocked, and directly called Zhou Shunchang's name: "Zhou Shunchang! What are you doing, why are you scolding the old man so much! ”

Zhou Shunchang snorted coldly and replied loudly: "Don't scold you, a treacherous old man, who to scold!" You want to coerce the clansmen and tenants and oppose the court, have you read all the books of the sages in the stomach of a dog, do you still remember the righteousness of the monarch and the ministers?! ”

"You!"

Dong Tingsong was so angry that his liver hurt.

He didn't expect that in less than a few days, Zhou Shunchang of the Zhou clan of Wu County, one of the scholars in Suzhou, had changed his previous view that he wanted to hold a group training with him and discuss Xilin's opposition to the party, and today, he actually came to Wujiang City and insulted him.

Dong Tingsong naturally knew that this was the reason why Zhang Gui was not successfully murdered.

Therefore, he couldn't say anything for a while, so he could only grit his teeth and get angry.

At this time, Zhang Gui rode his horse and stood not far behind Zhou Shunchang, quietly watching the scene in front of him.

What did not surprise him was that after he led a large army to Suzhou.

The big families of the scholars along the way took the initiative to divide their fields equally, and also took the initiative to sacrifice thousands of stones of pork and grain and rice to the army, and even took the initiative to say that this was in line with the will of the people, and they were particularly conscious.

Not only that, but some big families of the scholar clan took the initiative to send the clansmen who wanted to hold private group training and make firearms to the government, and changed the so-called tradition of hiding relatives and relatives, in order not to let Zhang Gui find a chance to punish their entire clan for their crimes.

Moreover, some scholars not only took the initiative to cooperate, but also took the initiative to help Zhang Gui persuade other scholars to surrender.

Zhang Gui, as the governor of the Ming Dynasty, after all, is not a foreign force that came to colonize Jiangnan, and when people take the initiative to cooperate according to their own rules, it is not good to forcibly liquidate, and even in order to make more people who abide by the rules, he has to praise these scholars for their behavior of understanding current affairs, and encourage them to make their own contributions to the harmony and stability of Jiangnan, and said that once they successfully persuade some scholars to give up coercing the clansmen to run their own group exercises with the villagers, they will ask for merit.

But Dong Tingsong was stubborn after all and did not choose to surrender.

Because he knew that he couldn't end well.

After all, he was one of the masterminds involved in the murder of Zhang Gui.

Therefore, after Zhou Shunchang scolded him like this, he only said in the end: "No matter how you brazen bastards scold, you really want to punish my Wujiang Dong family, you have to lay down Wujiang City in advance!" ”

The Wujiang Dong clan had already controlled Wujiang City, and the city walls of Wujiang City were thicker.

Therefore, if Zhang Gui and others want to capture Wujiang, they naturally have to think of some countermeasures.

Huang Binqing of Xilin Academy wanted to make up for the guilt of his Xilin scholars, and at the same time, he also deliberately wanted Zhang Gui, the uncle of the country, to see the determination of his people, so he took the initiative to ask Ying: "The students are willing to organize a death squad to attack the city first, and ask the governor for approval." ”

Zhang Gui waved his hand and said, "No need! Direct artillery bombardment is that the superintendent pays attention to firepower, and if the firepower is not enough, he will take human lives to fill it. ”

So, Zhang Gui next ordered the artillery battalion to bombard the city.

Under the bombardment of dozens of cannons, Wujiang City was unable to block the high walls of the city, and finally collapsed more than half of it.

After all, after the appearance of the iron-core copper-tire cannon, the traditional city wall no longer has the ability to defend the city, unless it is replaced by a concrete city wall.

After the city wall of Wujiang City collapsed, a large number of guards and Xilin township soldiers rushed in.

Not long after, Dong Tingsong, the Nine Clans, Li Yulan and others were escorted to Zhang Gui.

Zhang Gui first interrogated Li Yulan, and after asking Li Yulan about the reason for his betrayal, he asked him to sign his confession and draw it, and then said to Li Yulan: "Li Yulan, you can be regarded as living up to the hard work of this inspector to cultivate you!" ”

Li Yulan, who was tied up by five flowers, said: "So far, there is nothing to say about the lowly position. As the saying goes, people don't destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves, but for the generals, how can they be soft-hearted! Uncle Guo, you are indeed as kind to the humble position as the sea, but you really don't want to be Juntian in the future, and you really don't want to be restricted by some military discipline stipulated by Uncle Guo and His Majesty. And to stop this, it is necessary to get rid of Uncle Guo. So, the lowly office had to do it. ”

Zhang Gui said with a smile: "A good person is not killed for himself." Even so, if you fail, you have to take responsibility for your actions. ”

"The Sword Comes"

As he spoke, Zhang Gui said: "Drag him out and burn him to death with the dozens of soldiers who rebelled with him!" In the same way, to comfort the comrades who died! ”

"Yes!"

After Li Yulan heard this, she was taken aback: "Uncle Guo! Please also remember that you have a comradeship with you in the past, and be merciful and lenient! Instead of burning it! ”

"Didn't you say that people don't die for themselves, and now they have to talk about friendship again?"

Zhang Gui asked Li Yulan.

Li Yulan froze in place.

Zhang Gui waved his hand directly: "Execute the order!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Guowei replied, and asked the other guards officers to drag Li Yulan and the others down, concentrate on a bought broken wooden boat, pour oil on them, and burn them all to death.

Li Yulan screamed in pain during the incineration.

None of the other Guards officers sympathized with them.

Next, Zhang Gui interrogated Dong Tingsong again, and after asking about a series of circumstances, he said to Dong Tingsong: "Dong Shangshu, you are very ruthless, you have attacked this supervisor twice in a row, first the father, and then the supervisor himself. It's just that your methods are really inferior, as a dignified scholar, don't you think you seem to be very unlevel when you use such inferior conspiracy methods to achieve your own goals? ”

Dong Tingsong sneered: "Can you still make Uncle Guo change his mind?" Uncle Keguo, will you listen? ”

"As long as what you say is reasonable, how can this superintendent not listen, for example, the scholars of Xilin Academy want to serve Juntian, I feel that they are reasonable, and they did not stop them, but supported them."

Zhang Gui said: "I think you have to use this inferior means because you don't care about it, not only do you ignore it, but you can't bear to give up anything outside your body, so you use this kind of means." You don't want to think about it, there is a good saying, the husband is not guilty of his crimes, and your Dong family is not really the gate valve of the Wei and Jin dynasties, when the imperial court wants your family's hundreds of thousands of acres of land, can you keep it? ”

Dong Tingsong pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "I hand it over now, is it too late?" ”

"It's too late!"

Zhang Gui commanded as he spoke: "Drag it out directly, cut it!" The rest of the clan will be dealt with as treason! ”

"Yes!"

As a result, the Dong family was also sentenced to nine clans.

Zhang Gui didn't stay in Jiangnan for a long time.

Not long after he instructed Huang Binqing's Xilin scholars to cooperate with Zhao Yan to speed up the popularization of national education in Jiangnan, and asked them to use the pinyin literacy teaching method that Xilin Academy had already begun to implement internally, as well as various teaching materials that had already been compiled within the academy, to use it in the popularization of national education, he rushed back to Beijing with the Guards and the Tiger Ben Army.

Because the masterminds who participated in his murder in Qingjiangpu were not only the nobles and gentry of Jiangnan, but also the forces outside the Guan.

Zhang Gui was worried that the forces outside the gate would also be ready to move because of his murder, so after finishing his work in Jiangnan, he did not dare to delay, but hurried to the capital.
