Dai Dongrui bowed and said, "Gao Di, during the Battle of Shanxi, in Datong, he privately intercepted the Jianyu Tibetan silver, a total of 1.2 million taels.

When copying the Jin merchants, he was greedy for 3.4 million taels.

When the Netherlands and other three countries came to Korea, they extorted officials who accepted bribes from Westerners and obtained 1.2 million taels of silver.

In the six months when Beijing supervised hundreds of officials, he extorted more than 200 taels of officials and businessmen.

This southern expedition is even more frantically extorting wealthy merchants, and a total of 24 million taels of silver have been obtained."

Gao Di's scalp tingled when he heard this, he really didn't expect that his every move was under Chongzhen's strict surveillance.

"This silver has now been transferred to the capital of the capital by a small amount......

Hearing this, Gao Di couldn't support it anymore, shook twice, and collapsed to the ground, he knew that he was now a wicked minister pointed out by Qianfu, and if Chongzhen wanted to deal with him, it would definitely be a situation from which he could never recover.

What's more, the silver he worked so hard to get was all taken away by Chongzhen.

This is unreasonable!

"The emperor, the minister, the minister is guilty!"

"I reminded you a few times...... It's a pity......" Chongzhen shook his head.

……

Three days later, the imperial court issued Article 27 of Gao's crime and sentenced him to death.

At the same time, Chongzhen issued a holy decree to accept the request of officials in the world, and no longer deprive the scholars of their fame, but they still distributed Mongolia, Liaodong and North Korea. The scholars and officials who were guilty of the imperial decree served as teachers in the northern borderlands, educated the Mongols, Jurchens and other foreign tribes, and promoted the way of Confucius and Mencius for ten years before they could enter the court as officials.

The world is a sensation.

The guilty men and officials have a future again.

The wicked Gaudí also got the punishment he deserved.

The songs of praise for Chongzhen Shengming are stacked one after another.

……

Ten days later.

Execution of Gaudí.

Yangzhou City was crowded with people, not only people from the city came to watch, but people from all over the south of the Yangtze River flocked to Yangzhou to see the head of this huge corrupt and evil official fall to the ground.

Sergeants with guns maintain order on the side of the street, spears crossed, blocking the surging crowds.

Prisoner cars parade the streets, wheels rolling.

Wearing a flail and locks, he stood on top of the prisoner's cart and was escorted to the execution ground.

The people were in an uproar, throwing vegetables and stealing eggs at the prisoner van.

Gao Di's eyes were blank, all his family property was confiscated, the three clans were exiled to northern Liao, and when he was in high spirits, he was suddenly pushed to the execution ground, all of which seemed like a dream.

Just like the Jiangnan Shi clan who were uprooted by him, the officials who were captured by him and exiled to the north, he was also treated in the same way.

No, he is more miserable.

He has no future!

Soon, Gao Di, dressed in red prison clothes, was transported to the execution ground and knelt on the execution platform, with an executioner wielding a ghost-headed knife standing behind him.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are loyal to you!" Gao Di shouted in the direction of the palace.

"It's three o'clock in the afternoon, and the execution!"

With the order of the warden and the death stick, the executioner immediately pulled out the sign behind Gao Di's neck, and then raised the ghost head knife high.

The sword flashed, the blood flew up, the head fell to the ground, and the scene erupted into shocking cheers.

At this point, Jiangnan has stabilized.

The war in the south of the Yangtze River was chaotic, and more than 60 million taels of gold and silver were sent to the Daming treasury, laying the foundation for the full start of various new factories and major projects in Beijing.

The silver truck went all the way north, and the deep rut marks were not smoothed out until a few months later.

Chongzhen did not continue to arrest the Hongguang courtiers, did not continue to liquidate the civil rebellion, the people of Jiangnan also actively cooperated with the new policy, and the Donglin Party, which had few "people", also settled down, and no longer dared to put a beak on the imperial court policy.

There was also news from Wuchang that Zuo Mengeng had settled down and had already set sail on the road and took a boat to Yangzhou.

In view of this, Chongzhen ordered Shi Kefa, Gao Hongtu, Zhang Guowei, Zhang Shenyan, Liu Zongzhou and others to temporarily handle the internal affairs of the military aircraft and consolidate the new policy. Wait for the prince to send someone to take over and restructure.

Chen Yongfu was ordered to enter the military aircraft department, temporarily served as the general of Zhengnan, assisted by Hu Guozhu and Guo Yunlong, and commanded the soldiers and horses in the south of the Yangtze River, tamed the recruits, and stepped up training.

……

Capital.

Wang Chengen took the secret music and handed it to Zhu Cihong, who was on the throne.

"Prince, this is a secret report from Sichuan."

Zhu Cihong crouched on the desk, his front was full of notes and official letters, and he said without raising his head: "Let's talk about it."

Although Wang Chengen has heard this title many times, he is still terrified in his heart, and he is really a little unbearable to be called the crown prince.

"News came from the secret agents of Dongchang that Zhang Dingguo returned to Chengdu with the thieves, and then ......

Zhu Cihong raised his head when he heard this, and interjected, "What's wrong? Shouldn't he go back?"

Wang Chengen nodded: "The problem is that after returning to Chengdu, Zhang Kewang greeted him with thieves. Then they worshiped the mausoleums of Zhang Xianzhong, Zhang Wenxiu and others, Zhang Dingguo suspected the mausoleum of being stingy and sloppy, and the two had a big fight."

"So, the thieves are infighting? Zhang Dingguo and Zhang Kewang won't start fighting for control of the thieves, right?"

"Prince Shengming. After Zhang Xianzhong's death, Zhang Kewang took advantage of Zhang Dingguo's campaign in Guanzhong to rectify the thieves. It has the meaning of excluding Zhang Dingguo. It's a pity that the sky is not as good as the people, Zhang Dingguo killed the two Jianyu princes, and returned with a big victory, and the momentum was booming, and a considerable number of thieves turned to support Zhang Dingguo.

Now for the so-called foundation, the two are joining hands to become kings, Zhang Kewang is the king of Pingdong, Zhang Dingguo is the king of Anxi, and Zhang Kewang is temporarily headed by Zhang Kewang to command the overall situation.

The two agreed that whoever killed Azig would be the lord of the Great West!"

"I'm afraid it's not as light as you say." Zhu Cihong said with a smile, "The two of them are not brothers, Zhang Xianzhong has no fetters after his death, and now although Zhang Kewang is the leader, Zhang Ding's strength is superior." They can't live together peacefully, and it's only a matter of time before they break up."

"Prince Shengming." Wang Chengen complimented again, "Now that the two have resumed their original surnames, they are for Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo, each with an army, and almost the well water does not interfere with the river water. A few days ago, Li Dingguo had already left Sichuan and headed for Huguang."

Zhu Cihong was shocked when he heard this, "He went to Wuchang to find Azig!" However, Azig was either taken by the left battalion or hid in the left battalion, and if Li Dingguo rushed over like this, there would be a big battle. Such an important military situation, can you report it to my father?"

"It's over!"

"That's good! Huguang is going to have a scuffle again." Zhu Cihong groaned, "Tian Shouxin!"

"The minister is here!"

"Go to the Military Aircraft Department, explain the situation to the elders, and quickly send troops south to Wuchang, Jiujiang and other places to deal with Li Dingguo's eastward advance, and at the same time send troops to garrison Anding, Nanchang and other places in advance to prevent the rout of Wuchang after the war from flowing eastward and plundering the people of Jiangnan."

Wang Chengen looked at the back of Tian Shouxin's departure, looked at the high recital in front of the prince, and couldn't help but sigh, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty was simply the second in Chongzhen, wise and diligent.

"Princess, don't worry about the thief, you have to focus more on Wuchang, this palace always feels that Zuo Menggeng's victory is strange. Azig fought in all directions, how could he be taken by the left battalion silently?"

"Obey the prince's order, and the minister must investigate carefully!"
