Of course, this kind of performance could not fool Emperor Wuxing, and even made him even more angry.

Since Wuxing's fifth year of the inventory of the land, he showed the thunderous means, there is no landlord gentry, dare to rely on the strength of the gentry to disobey his will, this time is the case, although the gentry, businessmen inevitably have some complaints, but no one disobeyed.

Fourteen years, not short, not long, many people still remember the past, there is no need to gamble with their lives for a little money.

In this case, the news from the Shaoxing Mansion was undoubtedly a challenge to the emperor's authority, and the court was slapped in the face.

"What a rogue, what a rogue." He laughed angrily, "I have never heard that there can be such a huge man here, who dares to intercept and kill the tax envoys of the imperial court!" ”

"I haven't seen it run rampant, but now I have come out to do a 'big thing'! Good! Good! Good! ”

And Wang Tiqian added oil and vinegar on the side:

"Hooray, this is clearly contempt for you! Those gentry and merchants, for their own interests, even dared to intercept and kill the envoys of the imperial court, if they were not punished, who knew what would happen in the future? The prestige of the imperial court will also be greatly reduced, and the taxation will be even more difficult to implement. ”

His purpose is not so simple. He fanned the flames so much because he hoped that the emperor would exterminate those disobedient scholars as soon as possible, so that he could sell the position of the Zhejiang tax envoy at a good price among the eunuchs.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that he was the eunuch in charge of the seal as the celebrant eunuch, he would have reached the pinnacle of power, and he would have wanted to go there to enjoy this pouring oil and water.

The price was a bit lower last time. He secretly said in his heart, this time he will be 200,000 taels!

And after Zhu Changxun listened, he also nodded vigorously:

"That's true, as today...... There is some chaos, so that some rebellious ministers and thieves have the idea of not being subordinate, and there is no need to repeat the code, which is not enough to suppress their ambitions. Today's matter must be solved by thunderous means! ”

He just wanted to give an order to let the commander of Shaoxingwei investigate the matter thoroughly, but then he thought that the commander had lived in Zhejiang for a long time, and maybe he was already in the same group as others, which can be seen from the fact that the Shaoxing prefect actually covered up his crimes for those scholars.

Magistrates and generals are no longer credible! In his mind, such a thought popped up in his mind.

So he then ordered:

"The five military battalions sent 3,000 troops to escort the new tax envoy south to Zhejiang, and sent another imperial historian to thoroughly investigate the assassination of the former tax envoy, and have the right to act cheaply."

……

3,000 soldiers were drawn from the Beijing army to escort the new tax envoy and the imperial history to the south of the Yangtze River, which shows the emperor's determination.

For most local families, even though they generally recruit clan soldiers or "village warriors" and have a certain military ability, this is only a few hundred people at most, and the 3,000 Beijing army is far beyond the upper limit of their resistance.

After all, unless it is a behemoth like the Yan family, ordinary landlords and squires simply cannot afford the huge expenses of the army.

It is precisely because of this, for example, the eyes of the various landlords and clans today can't help but converge on Zhejiang, they know that the bold family is estimated to be wiped out of this world, intercept and kill the envoys of the imperial court, or in such an extraordinary period, it is possible to exterminate the nine clans.

They also tried to find psychological comfort for their compromise in this incident: Look, disobedience ends like this, so it is wise for me to do so.

However, in October of the 19th year of Wuxing, when a piece of news came out from the southeast, it made their hearts tremble.

To put it simply, it is one sentence:

"In the middle of the valley, the three thousand capital camps are gone, and the tax envoy Yushi is dead."

This is the opposite!

What's even more terrifying is that this is a regular army of 3,000 Beijing troops! It's not that they don't have a village warrior under their hands, but it is a fantasy to defeat the Beijing army with these hundreds of people.

However, this family directly fought a war of annihilation, and the 3,000 people barely escaped.

Desperately restraining their trembling hearts, they looked south and remembered their names.

Southeast, Yan's house.

……

Time goes back to September of the nineteenth year before the news spread.

"It's time to change flags."

Yan Ling, who had received the news of the annihilation of the 3,000 Beijing army, was unexpectedly calm and said this.

Deceiving an army of this size is already the limit, and the next wave should be a large army conquest, right?

Then, there is no point in keeping these cities.

He set his sights on the prefectures and county seats, which stood out in the midst of the towns he occupied.

……

Ningbo Fucheng.

The morning sun shone on the streets of the city, and the people stepped out of their houses to prepare for the busy day.

Harmonious and warm.

However, the sound of neat footsteps shattered the tranquility of this piece.

The inhabitants who heard the sound turned their heads to see soldiers in blue armor pouring into the city from the gates, marching in order, with spears on their backs.

As the last soldier stepped into the city, the heavy gate slammed shut, and the soldiers divided into several groups, one guarding the city walls, and the other rushing towards the main roads and the city's government offices.

The people looked at this scene and looked at each other, and some people couldn't help but guess:

"Could it be that the rogue is here again?"

Subsequently, they realized that this army was well-equipped and strictly disciplined, not to mention that it was a rogue army, and the officers and soldiers could not compare with it, so they were even more puzzled.

It wasn't until they saw the tall banner of the word "Ming" at the head of the city fall to the ground that they suddenly realized-

Ningbo Mansion has changed!

And the prefect of Ningbo was not too surprised when he received the report from his subordinates.

As early as when the other party controlled all the towns and villages under the jurisdiction of the entire government, the intention of not seeking was already obvious, and he knew that it would be a matter of time.

There was a noisy sound outside the palace, mixed with the shouts of the fast officials:

"What are you doing, what are you doing, this is the government office, do you want to rebel?"

However, there was a muffled sound, the dull sound of the butt of a gun hitting his head, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

The prefect smiled bitterly.

He knew that these guys who relied on their government background and did evil in the city would not end well this time.

I don't know, what will they do to themselves. You must know that before that, you were not a good official.

After all, who wouldn't be impressed by the fat mansion in front of him? Who would have thought that there would be such a big traitor here?

Knowing this, I didn't bribe my boss to transfer me here in the first place, but it's too late to say this now.

At the beginning, he asked the old man for 20,000 taels of filial piety that year, but it was just an alternative statement to make them feel at ease, but in fact, he sealed all the money and didn't move at all.

Much of the wealth he had accumulated over the years was also scattered by him to do good deeds for the inhabitants of the city.

I can only hope that the other party can look at these things and open up the net......

"Boom!"

The door to the prefect's room was slammed open, and a figure in cyan armor surrounded him in an instant.

"Jing Dingjin, the prefect of Ningbo, you have violated a number of laws and regulations, and I am ordered by the government to arrest you!"

The leading figure shouted.

Ningbo Mansion changed hands.
