At the beginning, Tian Ergeng only planned to push out these bitter lords and play a role in attacking the prestige of these clans.

Later, Tian Ergeng had a whim, since these people are so easy to use, it would be better to simply absorb some into Jinyiwei.

Zhou Shunsan is one of them, and under Tian Ergeng's arrangement, he became a glorious brocade guard.

This time, they fanned the people to Nanjing to petition, and they played a big role in the middle.

Since Zhou Shunsan joined Jinyiwei, it seems to be a different person. Not only did he do things without leaking, but even the character of Mu Ne in the past disappeared. Just like just now, Tian Ergeng could understand what he meant with a look. It's like an old fritter that has been mixed for years. Tian Ergeng couldn't help but feel a little emotional, determining a person's ability is not only insight and knowledge, but also the position in which he is located.

Pigs can fly when they stand on the tuyere, let alone people?

Tian Ergeng returned to the city proudly, but Xiong Mingyu and the others had disappeared.

Only Xu Hongji looked at him playfully and said with a smile.

"Tian commands good means."

With that, he turned and left the tower.

In the next few days, with the strong support of Xu Hongji, the living needs of the people outside the city were arranged very well. In addition to the difficult accommodation conditions, the food and drink are even better than at home. Coupled with the continuous brainwashing of Zhou Shunsan's group, the people not only did not have any dissatisfaction, but were grateful to Tian Ergeng. Even the image of the entire Jinyiwei has been greatly improved.

The third day of the seventh month

The decree has arrived.

This holy decree reached the three divisions of Nanjing.

The people's will will be dealt with strictly. The principal offender was beheaded, and the accessory was exiled.

At the end, another sentence was added:

In order to reassure the people, immediately escort to the outside of the city to behead!

With this decree, there is no room for turning the matter around.

Punishment is the law.

Strict punishment is the will of the people.

Reasonable, legitimate.

The contents of the decree soon reached the outside of the city, and the people cheered.

The fifth day of the seventh month

Three quarters past noon is the hour of beheading. The people outside the city have been waiting for a long time, waiting to see the enemy's embarrassed appearance. For this reason, many people have not eaten enough for two days, and they specially cover their meals, waiting to be splashed on the faces of their enemies.

As soon as noon arrived, the executioners pressed the prisoners and walked out, and the brocade guards were in charge of guarding.

The team formed a long line, and at a rough count, there were dozens of people who were beheaded this time alone.

Tian Ergeng commanded the team to stop in front of the people and looked up at the sky.

"Damn, I've misread the hour. It's still three o'clock in the afternoon. Let this group of prisoners kneel on the ground and bask in the sun first, and they will not see it tomorrow. ”

After speaking, he drew a line two steps away from the prisoner.

"These are all court repeat offenders! No onlookers are allowed to exceed this line. Violators will be killed! ”

After speaking, Shi Shiran walked to a shade to cool off.

The onlookers looked at it and were two steps away. Mere trifle! I can spit it out!

"Folks! Take action, and find your own enemy! Get in line! Come one by one! Don't blame others if you cross the line and get cut! ”

"Those who have been persecuted by the Changzhou Zhuang family come here! Those who have a grudge against the Ye family of Wujiang in Suzhou come here..... Don't cut the line! Jump in line again and get out! ”

Under the watchful eyes of everyone inside and outside the city, a strange scene appeared.

Seven or eight thousand people lined up outside the city in an orderly manner, each looking for his enemy and venting the hatred in his heart.

Three quarters of an hour later, three quarters of noon arrived.

The executioner walked up to the prisoner with his nose covered, and with the order of the prisoner, dozens of human heads fell to the ground at the same time. The crying stopped abruptly.

These once powerful characters were forced to end their lives under the angry scolding of others.

As much as they hate others, others hate them.

Compared to these angry people, they are unfortunate and lucky. They have enjoyed the ultimate prosperity in the world and tasted the most exquisite dishes. Wear the best clothes and sleep with the most beautiful women.

also ate the bitter fruit of his own brewing.

As soon as this matter was over, Tian Ergeng took Jinyiwei and Yongwei Camp back to the capital together.

Li Jinbo, on the other hand, continued to be busy with the preparation of the factory. Before leaving, Li Jinbo also told them that if they were willing to come to work in the factory, they would accept it unconditionally.

Those who participated in the fanning of the people waited with other prisoners to be escorted to Taiwan to clear the wasteland.

A lot of machines in the factory were destroyed, but this was not enough for the two beloved apprentices brought by Wang Zheng.

Under their work of forgetting to sleep and eat, one machine after another was tinkered out. The factory continued to produce again, and the chimney began to smoke again.

At this time, no one said that the factory was bad and ruined Feng Shui.

The fall of the gentry directly led to the depression of the surrounding economy. But this is only temporary, and as long as the market is still around, it will soon flourish again.

At this point, the Jiangnan turmoil has come to an end.

Capital

Tian Ergeng came back with the supplies for the house. The capital is still bustling and noisy, but some things seem to have become different.

For example, Tian Ergeng is curiously stopping to watch the anti-corruption propaganda point.

"What is this for?" Tian Ergeng patted a common man on the shoulder and asked.

At this time, the stage talked about the paragraph "Zhang Yushi knocked on the widow's door at night", which is one of everyone's favorite passages. It is said that Zhang Yushi's student died in an accident, and Zhang Yushi coveted the student's beauty and took it for himself. The common man was listening attentively, and when he was disturbed, he turned back with some dissatisfaction, and saw Tian Ergeng in an official uniform, and hurriedly got up in fright.

"Meet the master."

"No need to be polite. How to tell a story here? Don't you care about the Five Cities Terracotta Division? ”

"Master must have not been back to Beijing for a while, right? This is His Majesty's newly established anti-corruption propaganda point, dedicated to publicizing the shameless deeds of those corrupt officials! For example, the paragraph I am talking about now, asking Zhang Yushi to knock on the widow's door at night, is talking about the shameless behavior of Zhang Yicheng, the imperial history of the Supervision Yuan. However, this Zhang Yicheng has been exiled to Liaoning to mine. ”

"Zhang Yicheng?" Tian Ergeng's eyes widened.

Is it the same Zhang Yicheng who impeached him all day long? Damn, it's a great pleasure!

Tian Ergeng watched it with relish for a while, not to mention, it was really interesting, even he was almost fascinated.

In the end, I continued to move forward under the reminder of my subordinates, and met several propaganda points along the way.

Your Majesty is so ruthless, what these scholars cherish most is their own face, and now their own reluctance is taken out and used as a script in the public, it is simply embarrassing to die.

Your Majesty!

After arranging for his subordinates to return to the Yamen, Tian Ergeng came to the palace as soon as possible and asked to see Zhu Youzhen.

"How much silver did you steal?" Looking at Tian Ergeng, who was looking forward to the reward, Zhu Youzhen asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, a total of 24,750,000 taels of silver, 432,800 taels of gold, 1,500 shops in various prefectures, and 1,873,800 mu of fertile land were confiscated, and 750,000 mu remained, excluding the part returned to the people. In addition, there are all kinds of treasures, calligraphy and paintings, food, cloth, and countless others. All of them have been escorted to Beijing. ”

"Very well, you did a good job this time. I heard that you recruited dozens of local people into Jinyiwei? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Now they are still scattered in the provinces of Jiangnan, continuing to inquire for Jinyiwei. ”

"You've met with Liu Xiang, what do you think of this person?"

"A person who is very capable is a little bit of a grudge. On the day of the beheading, he went to Nanjing to take Xu Yuanzhao's head away, saying that he would take it back to commemorate his godson. ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded.

The collapse of the Xu family can be regarded as avenging Liu Xiang. However, Liu Xiang has been in Songjiang for some time, and it is time to promote him.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen directly asked Wang Chenen to draft a decree and promote Liu Xiang to the chief soldier of Songjiang and take charge of the maritime military of Nanzhili.

The promotion to the commander-in-chief of Songjiang will not bring a big boost to Liu Xiang's strength, but the jurisdiction of the Outer Sea will be more justified. Zhu Youzhen is not afraid that he will become bigger, and wherever the steamship goes, he has to weigh it.

This time the house was copied with so much money, and the steamship was not allowed to make dumplings? He also gave orders to the Tianjin shipyard to build as many steamships as possible.

After giving the order, Zhu Youzhen found that Tian Ergeng was still standing in place.

"Tian Qing is still in trouble?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it's fine." You didn't say let me go, do I dare to go?

"Then go back and rest for two days. By the way, your brothers have worked hard this time to go south, and I have allocated 10,000 taels of silver from the internal treasury, as for how to divide it, you can do it yourself. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Retire! ”

Tian Ergeng is not short of money, but what an honorable thing it is to be rewarded by His Majesty. When he returned, he didn't keep any of the 10,000 taels of silver, and gave it all to his men. To get subordinates to work loyally, it is not enough to just draw a big pie, but to really let them eat enough. He still understands this truth.

Just two days after Zhu Youzhen's order to ship ships at the shipyard was issued, Wang Zheng hurriedly entered the palace and asked to see him.

"I heard that His Majesty ordered the Tianjin Shipyard to make all efforts to build steamships. Dare to take back your majesty's fate! ”
