Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Under the protection of the guards, Zhu Youjian walked slowly to the top of the city, and all the guards with weapons who wanted to approach him were shot and killed by the royal guards.

It didn't take long, about an hour or so, the shouts of killing gradually stopped, and almost all the private soldiers in the guard were killed.

The commander of the Imperial Tomb Guard had been shot dead, and the Commander of the Imperial Tomb Guard Tongzhi and some officers, big and small, were captured by Qinglong and Ah Qing and brought to Zhu Youjian.

Zhu Youjian didn't even bother to ask questions, so he waved his hand directly:

"All rebels are shot and killed, and all officers from more than a hundred households are executed immediately."

"Yes"

Zhu Dadian's soldiers were able to do a lot of this kind of work, and dozens of guard officers were immediately pushed aside and executed in a hurry.

Seeing their boss being killed and widowed, those guard soldiers who were still alive lay on the ground crying bitterly, and they all hated themselves for following the wrong person.

All the officers and soldiers of the guard were killed. Looking at the remaining military households lying on the ground, Zhu Dadian clasped his fists and asked:

"My lord, how do they deal with it?"

Zhu Youjian pondered briefly:

"They are all ordinary military households, and they can't help themselves. Let them go back after teaching them a lesson. They still need to plant the fields in Fengyang."

"obey"

Zhu Dadian agreed to personally educate those ordinary military households, and Zhu Youjian took Qinglong Ahqing and the royal guards down the city and headed for the imperial mausoleum.

Regardless of whether he is the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian or not, he is now a descendant of the Zhu family. Since he came to the imperial mausoleum, he must pay homage to him.

When Zhu Youjian paid homage to the imperial tomb, fighting broke out in other guards.

It can only be said that there was a battle, and it was not a fierce battle. These guards were corrupt to the root, so there was no fighting power. With the help of some military households, Zhu Dakai easily took down three guards.

Tang Qing also took down one guard, Gao Jie broke through two guards, and the last two guards dared not resist, opened the city gate and surrendered to Gao Jie.

It was thought to be a tough battle, but within three hours, all eight of Fengyang were easily captured, killing more than 2000 rebels in the guard.

Five people under Zhu Dadian and Gao Jie's command were killed in battle, and only more than 20 people were injured.

Now the fighting power of the Ming army has undergone great changes after Zhu Youjian crossed, and they have become a sharp weapon of the Ming Dynasty again.

The greatest strength that can make the Ming army stronger is the timely payment of the full amount of military pay, coupled with the serious and responsible training of the general, before the food was not enough to eat, who will work hard for you, so you will be defeated in one battle.

Just like ordinary military households in the Weisuo, after hearing about the land reform, many of them took up arms and helped the Ming army attack the city against the private soldiers in the Weisuo.

The Chinese people are easily satisfied, as long as they are fed and clothed, no one is willing to rebel. This is why Zhu Youjian forced the land reform.

Daming wants to cultivate and pass on the blood of our Chinese people for 5000 years. They can’t be like the Eastern captives. They are completely cultivating the servility of the Chinese people.

For more than 200 years, the Chinese people have learned nothing under the rule of the Dongkuo power. Not only did the budding Chinese industries die, but they also carried forward their slavishness.

Until now, there are still many people who are willing to be foreign slaves, and they are not willing to hold their heads high. They always feel that the moon abroad is relatively round.

They have all forgotten that my Huaxia has stood on top of the world for thousands of years, and it was only after being ruled by Dongkui for more than 200 years that I fell to the altar, which made my Huaxia suffer a hundred years of humiliation.

Chapter 263

After quickly pacifying the eight guards of Fengyang and worshiping the imperial mausoleum, Zhu Youjian moved to the imperial city of Zhongdu, and then issued an order to cancel the eight guards of Fengyang, appointed Gao Jie as the general soldier of Fengyang, and led his troops to station in Fengyang.

Zhu Youjian rewarded all the officers and men again, and Li Dakai led his army to leave Fengyang and return to Zhejiang. After reporting to each other, more than 4000 people including gentry were beheaded in Fengyang.

Among them, three county magistrates and nine state officials were stripped of their skins to make an example. The commanders of the six guards were executed in a hurry.

Li Yang, the prefect of Bozhou, Xu Xin, the magistrate of Dingyuan County, and Wang Mao, the prefect of Suzhou, were rewarded by Zhu Youjian for refusing to collude with corrupt officials during the land investigation.

According to the current situation in Fengyang, Zhu Youjian decided to redefine the responsibilities of officials in Fengyang's prefectures and counties. After the land reform in Fengyang is completed, the cabinet will issue appointments.

Xu Xin in Dingyuan County was promoted to the chief county magistrate of the five counties and was promoted to the fourth grade. He still stayed in Dingyuan to govern and supervise the five counties.

Wang Maoguan, the prefect of Suzhou, was promoted to the third grade, supervising and governing the six states, and the officials under his jurisdiction were also selected and appointed by him.

Li Yang, the magistrate of Bozhou, was promoted to the second rank, supervising and managing seven prefectures.

Zhu Dadian still served as the governor of Fengyang and the governor of water transport, and led the county officials to carry out land clearing and reform immediately.

After the eight guards were put down, Zhu Youjian was ready to return to the capital, and there were still many things waiting for him, and now Daming was far from the time when he could rest.

Before leaving, Zhu Youjian summoned Wang Mao, Li Yang, Xu Xin, and Zhu Dadian.

Wang Mao, Li Yang, and Xu Xin made a big discovery during Zhu Youjian's trip to Fengyang. Whoever said that Ming officials were rotten to the root.

Although the three of them were not a breeze in their sleeves, none of them had a family property of more than 10 taels, which was already considered unusual in the late Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Dadian is completely guilty and meritorious, and he is already very satisfied that he can maintain his current position. Zhu Dadian has witnessed those corrupt officials being tortured and stripped of their skins.

Seeing Zhu Youjian, the four of them hurriedly saluted:

"The humble minister Zhu Dadian, Wang Mao, Xu Xin, and Li Yang are meeting Your Majesty."

"Zhu Youjian smiled slightly:

"Freedom of grace"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

After thanking the four people, they stood aside with their hands down, waiting for the emperor to speak.

Zhu Youjian picked up a list and handed it to Zhu Dadian:

"Zhu Aiqing, the people in Fengyang can't eat enough, and they all live like refugees. Do you know how much gold and silver was confiscated from the houses of corrupt officials this time? Take a good look!"

Zhu Dadian hurriedly took the list, read it over and over carefully, his face became more and more ugly, and then his knees softened and he knelt down on the ground.

"It's all criminals and incompetent ministers. If you can't control them well, please punish them, Your Majesty."

"Zhu Dadian, the past has become history. I want to see your future performance. I hope you don't act like you're obsequious, and let them see it too. Let's get back together!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After Zhu Dadian got up, he passed the list to Li Yang, who read it and then passed it to the other two. After seeing the list, everyone was full of disbelief.

There were actually 2000 million taels of silver and 300 million taels of gold on the list.

It has to be said that the small Fengyang officials and gentry are absolutely rich, and when Daming's taxes went to the treasury last year, it was only more than 400 million taels of silver.

Seeing the trembling faces of the four people, Zhu Youjian said again:

"This does not include the rewards I gave to the soldiers. If you count the 10 taels, it will be more. Now I am telling you clearly that when employing people, you must pay attention to their character. In the future, no matter who they are, as long as they embezzle more than a hundred taels of silver." , I will never stop!"
