In the Imperial City of Nanjing, in the Fengtian Palace, with Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Qian Qianyi, Ruan Dacheng and others were all stunned all of a sudden!

I didn't expect that Zhu Yuanzhang, the Emperor Taizu Gao, would actually say such a thing!

It is said that at this time, the imperial court moved south and came to Liudu.

Isn't the most important thing to do now is to calm the hearts of the people, and quickly win over such high-ranking officials as them, gain the support of themselves and others, and improve the authority of the imperial court and stabilize the situation?

Then the best way to win over is naturally to reward such gentlemen, moral people, and national cadres as yourself.

Get promoted and make a fortune.

After some operation, everyone was convinced, and the court was able to do things.

What's more, judging from the previous things, this Emperor Taizu Gao is quite satisfied with them.

All the signs before were explaining to them that this Emperor Taizu Gao was very good.

Praise them as loyal men.

After coming to Fengtian Palace, what greeted them was definitely the reward of Emperor Taizu Gao!

But how could they have thought that when they were full of joy and waiting for these to come, Emperor Taizu Gao actually didn't mention anything about the reward.

Instead, if you open your mouth, you want to ask them for money!

What's the situation?

What the hell is going on?!

Even if it was them, people who boasted that their brains turned quickly, they were completely stunned by Zhu Yuanzhang's operation.

So much so that I was stunned on the spot, wondering if I had heard it wrong and had a problem with my ears.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the reactions of these people and secretly sneered.

What do you want to get a reward from him too?

Nor do they weigh their own abilities?

After waiting for a while, I saw that these people were still staying here, and each of them said.

Zhu Yuanzhang then spoke: "Let's say, the court now has no food and no salary, and the interests of the poor.

Without money and food, you can't do great things.

You are all loyal ministers of my Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty has been a monk for more than 200 years, and at this time it is the time for you to be loyal to your ministers and serve the country loyally.

Please also donate generously and take out money to help the court tide over the difficulties,

Are there any eggs under the nest?

One must build on a firm foundation?

I don't think you won't understand such a simple truth.

If the court doesn't have food and money in its hands, it won't work, something big will happen! ”

Hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, not long ago, what was he talking about, Qian Qianyi, who had been a monk for more than two hundred years, couldn't help but twitch slightly.

That's as uncomfortable as it is.

In other words, when he said this before, it was just to stir up the atmosphere and talk about it.

How is this ...... Is this Emperor Taizu Gao still serious?

And ask them for money?

Like words?

Does this sound like a word?

These people are all as clear as water, as clear as a mirror, and with a breeze on their sleeves.

For the Ming Dynasty, he tried his best to take so much money every month.

Not enough to feed a family.

The money in the family is not what they receive.

It's all based on their skills.

Why now, if the emperor doesn't give a reward, he still turns his head and asks them for money?

Does this sound like a word?

I have never seen such a brazen person!

At this moment, hearing Zhu Yuanzhang speak again, everyone was sure that they had heard correctly.

This Emperor Taizu Gao is asking them for money.

Moreover, from the fact that he said it twice in a row, it can be seen that he is also serious in this matter.

How can this be?

This Emperor Taizu Gao, do you know what he is doing?

By doing so, he will lose the hearts and minds of the people!

Now that Da Ming is already in turmoil, he is undoubtedly seeking his own death by doing so!

Under the nest, how many eggs are gone?

Whoever said that these people must live in the nest of Daming!

"What's wrong?

Why don't you speak?

In the past, we saw that you were all quite able to speak.

Seeing that you are all loyal and righteous people, loyal to the Ming Dynasty, why is it that as soon as we talk about this now, no one will talk about it?

What we are talking about is the right thing, loyal to the monarch and patriotism, loyal to the Ming Dynasty, but not just talking.

We need to take concrete action.

You can't just have a mouth. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's words were unceremonious, not to save half of face for these people.

The ridicule can be said to be directly full.

However, there was still no one in the Fengtian Temple.

Zhu Yuanzhang began to roll call.

He looked at Qian Qianyi and said, "Qian Shilang, you are a gentleman and a moral person.

As you said just now, the Ming Dynasty has been a monk for more than 200 years, and it is the time for you to stand up.

Qian Shilang has to talk and take practical actions. ”

was named by Zhu Yuanzhang, Qian Qianyi was about to cry in his heart at this time.

Don't play like this!

If you want money, don't you want their lives!

Is it easy for him to find ways to make some money over the years?

But thinking so in his heart, this Emperor Taizu Gao has already said this, and he doesn't dare to hesitate much.

Immediately, he said: "Yes, Emperor Taizu Gao, you are right.

Now that Daming is in danger, it is the time for us to protect Daming.

The minister's family has some savings, and the minister is willing to donate 1,000 taels of silver as military funds!

In the future, even if the minister sells calligraphy and painting for a living, he will be willing to do it!

I only hope that my Ming soldiers and horses will be strong, and then fight back! ”

When he said this, he seemed very impassioned.

It's just that compared with the meagre 1,000 taels he donated, this is impassioned, and it is somewhat funny.

The contrast is too great.

Qian Qianyi's heart is bitter!

He had been waiting for the Emperor to come and get him a reward.

As a result, now, he still has to give money to the emperor, which is not happy in itself.

In this case, it is natural not to give too much.

Of course, there is an even more fatal thing to do.

That is, from the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the officials were given very little money.

This thing is sitting in front of him, and this Emperor Taizu Gao started it.

These people only rely on money, and they really don't have much money in their hands.

But the key is that there is a lot of money in the family.

In the past, these things were not laid out in the open.

Hello, hello, everyone, that's it.

Now, in front of Emperor Taizu Gao, who was greedy for sixty taels and was about to peel the skin and pull the grass, he really didn't dare to take out too many silver taels.

If you take too much, ask where the money comes from.

That's just wax.

I don't know how to explain it at all!

Therefore, this thousand taels is the number he gave after measuring.

Say too much, say too little.

In his opinion, it should be able to cope with the past!

If he was able to come up with a thousand taels of silver, he had already given enough face to Emperor Taizu Gao.

After Qian Qianyi took the lead in speaking, Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng, and many other officials who stayed in the capital also opened their mouths one after another, and expressed their willingness to give money for military supplies.

It's a beautiful thing to say.

But not much money was given.

At most, like Qian Qianyi, he took out a thousand taels.

There are only a few dozen taels.

Staying here in the capital, there are nearly three hundred officials of all sizes who come to the Fengtian Temple.

The silver that was given was added together, and in the end it was only more than 70,000 taels.

It's better to be in Beiping City, where Chongzhen asks for more!

Chongzhen also got more than 200,000 taels of silver!

As a result, now, Zhu Yuanzhang, who is an ancestor, personally went out to Nanjing City and only got more than 70,000 taels of silver......

Those officials who came from Beiping, at this time, all of them did not dare to breathe.

After all, this scene is all too familiar!

They have all experienced it in Beiping.

And they all know what happened to them after only giving a little money......

Listening to these officials here in Nanjing, some people laughed secretly in their hearts at the donated silver.

There are also people who are familiar with the officials in Nanjing, and they are anxious to pass a message to him, so as not to let him die like this.

Give as much as you can.

But now it is above the court.

At this time, that Emperor Taizu Gao was terrifying.

Who dares to stir around?

can only keep this anxiety in my heart.

At the same time, I was also thinking that the situation at this time was different from when I was in Beiping City.

Emperor Taizu Gao and others came to Liudu, and they must value peace.

Even if the money donated is relatively small, it will definitely not be the same as in Beiping City......

Looking at the final figures, one of Zhu Yuanzhang's faces had darkened and turned into a donkey face.

"You really don't have it, so donate so much?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at them and asked.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang's momentum is terrifying, at this time, Qian Qianyi, Ma Shiying and others are even more angry in their hearts.

I always feel that this Emperor Taizu Gao is too greedy!

It's just too deceitful!

If you don't give a reward, forget it, and ask them for money!

They have given so much, but it is still too little?

Is this less?

Not a little less, okay!

That's more than 70,000 taels!

At the moment, one by one, they began to cry poor in a fancy mode.

It's exactly the same as those people in Beiping.

When doing this, they all have confidence in their hearts.

The Ming Dynasty has become like this, and if the court wants to do things next, it has to rely on them.

The money they just gave is enough to save face!

At this time, you must not give more!

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang and others are unhappy because of this, it doesn't matter!

What can Zhu Yuanzhang do with them?

Zhu Yuanzhang asked them twice in a row, but these people were still crying poor.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was no longer polite.

Loud voice: "Good! Good! This is my loyal man of the Ming Dynasty!

For more than 200 years, the Ming Dynasty has raised a group of things like you!

Come! Take them all!

Next, go door-to-door to raid the house!

Go and see how much money they have in their house!

If the value exceeds 1,500 taels, all the houses will be raided, and the property will be confiscated!

You have to tell us where all this money comes from! ”

With Zhu Yuanzhang's order, a large number of soldiers who had been prepared outside for a long time poured in.

This sudden scene stunned Qian Qianyi, Ma Shiying and others all at once.

What's the situation?

What's going on?

How could this Emperor Taizu Gao be so arrogant and unreasonable!

Start arresting people without saying a word?

And all of them were arrested all at once?

How could he play like this!

There are more than 1,500 taels, all the houses are raided, and the family property is confiscated?

This...... How can this be!!

How many of these people did not have more than 1,500 taels?

If Zhu Yuanzhang does this, isn't he afraid of causing anger and resentment?

Some people were angry, but after they were angry, they suddenly understood.

knew that this was Zhu Yuanzhang scaring them.

In this case, Zhu Yuanzhang definitely didn't dare to really do what he said!

At this time, you must definitely resist!

However, it doesn't matter what these people think in their hearts at this time.

Whether you want to resist it, or you are ready to admit it.

None of these soldiers who rushed in were spared, and they were all pressed to the ground under Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze, and they were all arrested!

What Zhu Yuanzhang is not afraid of is that so many people are in a group and want to threaten him!

Those officials who came from Beiping, when they saw this scene, all of them looked at their noses and noses, and they didn't dare to come out.

This scene is so familiar!

This Emperor Taizu Gao, his methods are also really ruthless!

"By the way, leave Qian Qianyi to us!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice rang out.

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, the person holding Qian Qianyi stopped.

Qian Qianyi's whole person became excited!

He knew that it must be his reputation that played a role in making Emperor Taizu Gao think of him.

Be prepared to take special care of yourself.

After all, he is a gentleman of Donglin, and apart from these, Qian Qianyi didn't think much about it at all.

He still doesn't think that Zhu Yuanzhang really dares to do what he said!

A large area of land on the northern side has been lost.

The situation is critical.

At this time, if Zhu Yuanzhang dares to act so recklessly, there will be chaos here in the south!

Once it's messy, then Zhu Yuanzhang will wait to die!

The only remaining power of the Ming Dynasty will also be gone!

But Zhu Yuanzhang's next sentence made Qian Qianyi, who felt good about himself and felt that he was good again, was stunned all of a sudden!

"Let's start with Qian Qianyi's house first!

Let's take the Chinese martial arts, all to see, you, the famous Donglin gentleman, a moral man, who regards money as dung.

How much money is in the house! ”

In a word, Qian Qianyi's face was like ashes, like being struck by lightning!

How so? How so?

This...... Is it special care?

He's a gentleman! He is the grandmaster of the Ming literary world!

They are members of the Donglin Party, and they still have a great influence in the countryside.

How dare Zhu Yuanzhang treat himself like this?

He's not afraid of public wrath?!

How dare Zhu Yuanzhang treat himself like this?

Aren't you afraid of being criticized by Shilin and losing the hearts of the world?!

At the same time, it is also a real panic.

Because he found out that Zhu Yuanzhang was actually coming for real!

Although his residence and property on the side of Jingshi are only part of the whole family.

Not too little.

It is definitely more than the number of 1,500 taels that Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Qian Qianyi quickly relented, saying that he was willing to donate all his belongings of 3,000 taels.

But at this time, how could Zhu Yuanzhang listen to what he said?

Originally, he had a lot of opinions about Qian Qianyi, and if he didn't have this matter, he had to find something else to deal with him.

How could they listen to him at this time?

Soon, Zhu Yuanzhang took many people from the court to Qian Qianyi's house and raided Qian Qianyi's house.

After a raid, don't talk about calligraphy, paintings, antiques and other things.

Just talking about copper coins, gold and silver, etc., together it is enough to exceed 100,000 taels.

If you add some of the property deeds that have been found, it is worth even more!

And this is just Qian Qianyi's property, only in Nanjing.

If you put something else together, it's even more!

"Say? Why didn't you say it?

This is what you, a gentleman from Donglin, do?

Is this your breeze on your sleeves?

This is the loyal and righteous person that I have raised for more than 200 years? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Qian Qianyi and asked in a cold voice.

Every word he said made Qian Qianyi's body shake, and his face was like ashes.

There is a feeling that Zhu Yuanzhang ripped off all the clothes on his body in front of the world, and even the last fig leaf was gone!

Qian Qianyi knelt on the ground and confessed his mistake and begged for mercy.

He also expressed his willingness to donate all his family wealth, including fields and houses.

In order to obtain the forgiveness of the imperial court.

Qian Qianyi is not a hard bone in his own right. Now the bones are softer.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Qian Qianyi and listened to what he said.

He sneered and said, "It's late!"

Qian Qianyi is corrupt and perverts the law, and the amount is huge!

Fooling the king, selling fame and reputation, the surface is sanctimonious, but in fact he is a male thief and a female prostitute!

If you don't kill these people, it's not enough to be angry! ”

After saying that, he pulled out the sword at his waist and cut off Qian Qianyi's head with a single sword!

And when Qian Qianyi's head fell, invisibly, even Nanjing City, and even the entire Jiangnan region were shaken!

After Zhu Yuanzhang came to Liudu, there was no stop, and the first tough battle had begun!

And with the news that Qian Qianyi was beheaded by a raider, countless people were shocked.

This Emperor Taizu Gao, is it true that he is here?

How dare he!

If he does this, he will really make the world turbulent!

He is trying to ignore the Ming Dynasty.

Before dying, do you want to drag some cushions to Daming's funeral?

And the vast majority of those who were controlled by Zhu Yuanzhang's faction before this became flustered.

Especially Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng and others, they were even more shocked.

It's called a panic in my heart!

Even Qian Qianyi was treated like this, then it would definitely be difficult for them to end up well!

At that moment, they begged for mercy one by one.

But it's too late!

Ma Shiying was beheaded, and as for Ruan Dacheng, he was skinned by Zhu Yuanzhang!

At the time of the execution, there was a gentleman who burst into tears and clapped his hands!

There was a big earthquake here in the city of Nanjing!

After Emperor Taizu Gao Zhu Yuanzhang arrived in Nanjing, he directly beheaded all kinds of families.

Ruan Dacheng, Ma Shiying and others' family property needless to say.

The rest of the Beijing officials with a family property of more than 1,500 taels were also beheaded directly after raiding their homes, without any delay!

There were two or three hundred officials, and in the end only forty or fifty had no more than 1,500 taels of property.

For these people, Zhu Yuanzhang took Chongzhen and Zhu Cihong and personally released them.

Pacify them and give them a promotion.

And recognize them.

There is a punishment, but there is also a reward.

Only by clearly distinguishing rewards and punishments, and targeting some people and co-opting some people, can these people be divided from within.

It will not unite everyone and stand on the opposite side of the imperial court.

Zhu Yuanzhang still has these means.

And it's very skilled.

And after this beheading, the wealth controlled by Zhu Yuanzhang has grown explosively!

And this time I got more money than I got in Beiping City.

This is not to say that there is little money in Beiping City, but that what Zhu Yuanzhang and Chongzhen and others did in Beiping City before is still limited in time after all, and they have not done enough.

And I'm worried that I'll get too much money and it's hard to bring on the road.

Now here, there is no need to worry at all.

And when Zhu Yuanzhang did this, he was also doing the rest of the things at the same time.

For example, the rectification of soldiers and horses and the emphasis on military discipline.

Quickly pull out a group of people who can be used, and go to all walks of life to carry out various propaganda.

It has been repeatedly emphasized that military salaries are not allowed!

And get some things in place.

For example, if a soldier finds that his salary has been deducted, in addition to going to the Military Justice Department to react, in desperation, he can find an opportunity to come directly to Nanjing City.

Beat the drums in the Imperial City!

As long as he hears the sound of drums, no matter what he is doing, he will immediately stop what he is doing.

Meet the people who beat the drums!

At the same time, a strict order was also issued that it was strictly forbidden for anyone to stop anyone from beating the drum in any form!

Once discovered, it will not be tolerated!

At the same time, it is also gradually implementing the promise of 20 acres of fertile land for the Guanning Army and some other soldiers and horses.

Zhu Yuanzhang knows very well what needs to be grasped most in today's world.

The most important thing to catch first is the pawn!

Where there are soldiers, there is money!

Where there are soldiers, there is everything!

And then there's the money.

With a gun in your hand and a money bag, then many things are secure.

And as he put this thing into practice, it really carried out the implementation.

Many soldiers and horses have become extremely elated, and their morale is high!

On the way here, there were many Guan Ning troops, as well as the rest of the soldiers, who were all responsible for Emperor Taizu Gao, whether the promise given could be implemented.

Will it be discounted.

After all, after so many years, these people have eaten too much bread!

Regarding the affairs of the imperial court in terms of military salaries, he instinctively had some doubts.

There are even many people who think that not to mention twenty acres of land in the south of the Yangtze River, even if they can give five acres, it is good.

But how could he have thought that Emperor Taizu Gao actually said that twenty acres is twenty acres!

There are no discounts on this!

At this moment, the morale of all the soldiers has completely come up!

Their hearts are stable, and they are all like chicken blood!

Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy in his heart after noticing the changes in these people.

With these brave warriors, many things are easier to do next.

At the same time, I have a deeper understanding of what Mencius said, "Those who have no permanent property have no perseverance".

He distributed the land to them, and these people can be regarded as taking root here and their lives are guaranteed.

Then the next battle will be more courageous.

It is necessary to raise military discipline and raise the issue of providing for the army.

There is no arrears of wages, and the level of equipment has also been improved.

You'll get a lot of soldiers in no time!

Han Cheng's words to him made Zhu Yuanzhang deeply impressed.

That is-the Ming army is not satisfied with the salary, and the full salary is invincible! Where is the full salary? Liaodong Emperor Taiji.

Now I, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, have come here, personally commanded them, and paid them full salaries.

Let's see who will kill the deer next!

And Zhu Yuanzhang is here, after what he did was spread.

It also shook all parts of the south of the Yangtze River!

There was a chain reaction!

Many people were shocked and angry!

How dare this emperor do this?

Don't you take them as a person!

There are also quite a few people who are full of fear.

That Emperor Taizu Gao dared to treat the ministers of the court and the central government like this.

Next, will they be stabbed against these gentry?

If you do do have a knife on them, how should you deal with them?

Of course, only some people are afraid, and many more people are still fearless.

After all, at this time, many of them have long been united and intertwined with each other into a net.

Divide up a lot of power and interests.

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang is alive, it is not so easy to reach out from top to bottom and reach down!

He doesn't have that much ability, and he doesn't dare to be so tough!

If they do, don't blame them for making a mess!

At that time, there were rebels in the north, Tartars, and Zhang Xianzhong in the west.

To the south, they're making trouble again.

Zhu Yuanzhang is equal to the enemy on his back, and when he panics!

However, when these people were thinking like this, they didn't know that Zhu Yuanzhang had already made up his mind to shatter the mountains and rivers and reshape the belief of Qiankun!

And it is also ready to start implementation.

At this time, he was discussing with Han Cheng, Zhu Biao and others how to reform the tax system and bring the taxes that the imperial court should receive from Jiangnan to the imperial court.

Only by raiding the house and destroying the door, the money obtained can only support for a while, but it cannot support a lifetime.

If the imperial court wants to develop steadily in the future, it also needs to have a stable source of taxes.

Then the first task is to take back the tax that was divided by many gentry, literati, bureaucrats, etc. in the south of the Yangtze River!

Regain control of the imperial court.

Only in this way can the imperial court have the strength to do all kinds of things in the future......

……

And Zhu Yuanzhang is here, making a big move. When the Jiangnan was renovated.

Between Li Zicheng and Tartar in the north, after some temptation, they also began a desperate battle.

The battle was very fierce, and Li Zicheng fought hard, but he lost his troops and lost his generals.

The old battalion soldiers under his command lost two or three thousand.

One of his generals was killed in battle......

"These dog tartars are really tough!"

Li Zicheng spat and couldn't help but scold.

"Damn, it was pitted by the Chongzhen Dog Emperor!

He, who became the emperor, ran away, leaving behind an unformed Beiping City.

I took Beiping City, but I took such a mess!

Not only do all kinds of things have to be a headache, but it also has to fight to the death here with the Tartars outside the gates!

Chongzhen, this dog thing, is too cunning! ”

Li Zicheng scolded loudly, indignant, and bitter in his heart.

How proud I was when I took Beiping City before, how high-spirited I was when I ascended the throne, how comfortable I was in my heart, and how depressed I was at this time!

When I think of this, my heart is not happy.

I just feel that I was being played by Chongzhen as a fool!

I also want to hack to death the magic stick of Song Xiance, who gave him ideas!

What kind of bad idea did he give himself?

This is to get yourself into a sinkhole!

Li Zicheng is about to vomit blood!

"No more fighting! Don't fight!

Withdraw your troops here! Don't fight with the Tartars!

This Beiping City is gone, who they love to go! ”

In the tent, Li Zicheng looked at these generals and strategists under his command and said loudly.

There was resentment in his voice.

At this time, he really wanted to run.

"Your Majesty, by all means, Your Majesty!"

Niu Jinxing hurriedly looked at Li Zicheng and opened his mouth.

"Your Majesty, this is the first battle of your founding and the battle for the founding of your country.

As long as it stands, our Dashun will be considered to have a firm foothold.

If Your Majesty is gone now, everything will be over.

Gone are the things that were before.

And His Majesty will also be a sinner for the ages.

Many people will think that it is Your Majesty that you dare not fight to the death with the Tartars.

gave this great Han river and mountain to the Tartars.

Your Majesty, please think again! ”

Niu Jinxing's words are sincere.

At this time, Song Xiance somewhat shrunk his eggs.

The main one can not say much, not much.

I was afraid that what I did was a little conspicuous, so Li Zicheng noticed it and cut myself.

Listening to Niu Jinxing's words, Li Zicheng became even more depressed in his heart.

also felt more and more that Zhu Yuanzhang, Chongzhen and others were despicable and shameless.

In his single eye, the light flickered, and he hesitated.

Whether to go or stay, he couldn't decide for a while......

And when Li Zicheng was hesitating about this matter, an operation against Zhu Yuanzhang was in full swing on the side of Nanjing City......
