Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

The fighting continues.

The chaos continues.

The place carefully selected by Zhu Youxiao was soon stained red with blood. Many generals were either held hostage or beheaded in the chaos, and their deaths did not cause any ripples.

"Your Majesty, please move on."

Lu Jiude, who was nervous inside, saw the bloody scenes through the gaps in the human wall in front of him. With worry between his brows, he lowered his head and tried to advise.

The emperor is so noble, how could he be in danger?

"No, I'm right here!"

Zhu Youxiao's eyes were sharp, and he said in a clear voice without moving, "I am the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. If I leave, won't it make everyone feel disappointed?"

In fact, deep down in Zhu Youxiao's heart, the situation he least wanted to see was what was happening right before his eyes. This would kill all the treacherous villains, but it would also make many people think too much.

But some people's hearts have long been dark.

If they can be given some hope, perhaps they will not do extreme things, but when all hope is gone, they will give up.

The Liaodong military forces are like a group of people climbing on cliffs. The huge profits tempt them to keep climbing up, but once the profits are gone, they will go crazy.

So this is an unsolvable situation.

During the time that Zhu Youxiao was stationed there, he had thought about using appropriate methods to thoroughly cleanse Shanhaiguan, but in the end, all his plans were rejected by Zhu Youxiao.

no way.

If you want to make a complete change in Shanhaiguan, you must cleanse it with blood and deter it with blood, otherwise you will not be able to solve the fundamental problem at all.

So when the chaos happened, the only thing Zhu Youxiao could do was to set an example himself. He couldn't let down the hearts of those who still had hope for the Ming Dynasty.

In the eyes of opportunists, these people are pedantic, stubborn, and stupid...

However, the Ming Dynasty has been able to survive to this day and still function, without being crushed by endless problems, all thanks to these stubborn and stupid people.

The sound of fighting gradually became quieter as time went by.

Cao Wenzhao was holding a knife alertly, with blood splattered on his body. His cold eyes swept around and he saw corpses lying on the ground.

The ground had already been stained red with blood.

At this moment, doubts arose in Cao Wenzhao's heart. He didn't understand why the emperor would use this method to stimulate those who had guilty consciences to come out.

There is obviously a better way.

It was obvious that they could be arrested separately without anyone noticing.

But the emperor did not do so.

Cao Wenzhao was not the only one who thought like this. Many surviving officers and generals looked at the scenes before them with complicated expressions.

"Your Majesty, all the treacherous villains have been executed!"

As a shout rang out, many people came to their senses. They subconsciously looked up at the platform and saw that the armored soldiers guarding the emperor had already retreated to both sides.

The emperor had a grim expression on his face, standing on the platform with his hands behind his back. In particular, the emperor's eyes were staring at the numerous corpses below the platform.

"I know that in your hearts, many of you are wondering why I do this, right?" Zhu Youxiao looked indifferent and said in a cold tone while looking at the remaining more than half of the officers.

"I can choose a more conservative approach, even if it means rectifying Shanhaiguan and clearing Shanhaiguan, I can minimize the losses. I have the patience and time, but someone doesn't want to give it to me!!"

"Carry them all up to me!!!"

While Ma Shilong, Cao Wenzhao and others were thinking different things, Zhu Youxiao roared and a group of people came carrying a lot of boxes.

While these people were carrying the boxes, several eunuchs in the imperial court, holding piles of memorials, suppressed the fear in their hearts and walked towards the emperor with their heads lowered.

"This is a secret report from Liaodong Military Governor's Office!"

Under such circumstances, Zhu Youxiao picked up a memorial and said in a deep voice to the officers in front of him: "During my stay at Shanhaiguan, many things happened in Liaoqian."

"Food prices were driven up, bandits appeared in the area, and rumors were flying everywhere."

"I won't say much else. You all know what's going on, right? Before I came to Shanhaiguan, none of these things happened. When I arrived at Shanhaiguan, I appointed Cao Wenzhao as the lieutenant general and asked him to lead his troops to take over the Shikou area. Then these dirty things started to emerge one after another."

At this moment, many people looked at Cao Wenzhao.

At this moment, Cao Wenzhao's face changed slightly. He did not expect that just because he took over a stone pass, so many things would happen outside Shanhaiguan.

Although Cao Wenzhao guessed that something would happen, he didn't expect so many things to happen.

"Also, it happened not long after Zhengdan ended."

Zhu Youxiao continued, "According to the information obtained by the Liaodong Military Governorate, the Jianlu troops in Guangning, Yizhou, Haizhou, Gaizhou and other places have begun to mobilize frequently."

"What I find unbelievable is that Shanhaiguan was totally unaware of what happened in Liaoqian. Has anyone among you received this news?"

Ma Shilong was surprised when he heard this.

This was something he didn't expect.

Shanhaiguan is an extremely important place as a barrier protecting the inside and outside of the pass. No matter what the situation is, if there is any unusual movement in front of Liao, Shanhaiguan will be more or less aware of it and then take corresponding precautions.

But no one in Shanhaiguan knew about this matter, and he, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan, actually knew nothing about it.

Someone must be behind this.

"besides!!!"

While everyone was thinking about this, Zhu Youxiao said sternly: "Did you see those wooden boxes? These are all the evil deeds I ordered people to investigate. When I see the things in them, sometimes I wonder, this Shanhaiguan, this Liaoqian, is it the Ming Dynasty's, or someone else's?!"

The bustle in the world comes because of profit, and the hustle and bustle in the world all goes away because of profit.

Zhu Youxiao knew that when the benefits reached a certain level, there would inevitably be people who would dare to risk being beheaded and do anything that was prohibited by the law.

But knowing is one thing, but after experiencing it personally, the emotion is different.

Under various circumstances, Zhu Youxiao was forced to make a decision.

What exactly should he do to ensure that the Ming Dynasty can reverse its declining national destiny?

"Where is Ma Shilong!"

"Where is Cao Wenzhao!!"

Under the gaze of everyone, Zhu Youxiao said coldly.

"Chen is here!"

Under this situation, the two of them immediately clasped their fists and shouted.

"Ma Shilong, the main city of Shanhaiguan is under martial law from today. If anything goes wrong, I will find you." Zhu Youxiao said coldly, "Cao Wenzhao, Yipianshikou is under martial law from today. If anything goes wrong, I will find you."

"The minister obeys the order!"

"As for you, just stay here for now and take a good look at these things." Zhu Youxiao ignored the two of them and looked at the people in front of the stage and said, "If you have any dissatisfaction, you can speak out then!!"
