Don't panic when traveling through the late Ming Dynasty, just go to Liangjian and buy a machin

Wang Chengen came forward in person.

With those killers recruited by Dongchang.

Just get rid of those students of the Imperial College.

All of them were completely brought to the dust, so that they would never have a chance to turn things around in their lifetime.

And they will also be subject to various criticisms and hostility from family members.

This is a blatant murder and a heart-breaking move!

Among them, there were a dozen students who danced the most happily.

He even lost his life on the spot.

On the contrary, it was a quick and easy release...

The means of killing people and destroying their hearts are used together.

He swung the butcher knife brutally and cruelly.

Who wouldn’t be afraid?

This only shows that those guys who came to force the emperor to abdicate greatly overestimated themselves.

And they seriously underestimated the ruthlessness and decisiveness of Emperor Chongzhen.

When Emperor Chongzhen had the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Eastern Depot in his hands.

And no longer believe in the civil servants' nonsense.

This kind of thing happening outside the palace gate seemed to be inevitable...

After Wang Chengen dealt with the students of the Imperial College.

The officials who participated in forcing the emperor to abdicate were also arrested.

All of them were arrested.

And the crimes of many of them were announced on the spot.

Such things as bullying men and women, occupying land, taking bribes, and disregarding human lives.

Anyway, the only charges are those you can't imagine.

There is no crime they dare not commit!

As charges were listed one after another.

The officials who participated in forcing the emperor to abdicate looked pale and were sweating profusely.

——Knowing that they are going to be finished too!

Of course, there were too many officials involved in forcing the emperor to abdicate.

It wasn’t long before the East Factory was restarted.

It is impossible to know the situation of all officials.

Although it is not clear yet, it doesn’t matter much.

Just check the list one by one.

It only happened the next day.

All officials involved in forcing the emperor to abdicate.

Various charges were announced.

Those charges were not fabricated out of thin air, at least most of them were backed by evidence.

This move caused an uproar in the capital.

The common people shouted and requested Emperor Chongzhen and the court.

Severely punish those corrupt officials who have no bottom line.

So Chongzhen's butcher knife was swung down again.

All officials who participated in forcing the emperor to abdicate were dismissed, investigated, imprisoned and tried.

More than half of them were directly confiscated and exterminated...

……

The thundering measures of Emperor Chongzhen.

This caused the Ming Dynasty court to be speechless.

After all, all the officials in the court knew clearly that none of them was clean.

If anyone dares to jump out and make trouble.

Once you are spotted by the factory guards, just check it out.

At least some crimes can be uncovered.

So now everyone has become obedient, at least on the surface.

As for whether the undercurrent is surging in the dark.

That is not something that ordinary people can understand...

for several days in a row.

The Donglin Party in the court suffered a heavy blow.

This time the Donglin Party was almost completely wiped out.

Other parties such as the Zhejiang Party and the Chu Party were also affected.

Such a big event happened in the Ming Dynasty court.

It should be stable for a while.

Wait until this matter is settled and the political situation stabilizes before taking the next step.

But Emperor Chongzhen had no patience to wait any longer.

Two days after the palace coup.

Emperor Chongzhen took action against the Beijing troops.

Yuan Chonghuan was directly ordered to lead his troops into the city and take over the city defense with the cooperation of the East Factory and the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Then check the existing manpower situation of the Beijing Camp.

This check doesn't matter.

The results of the investigation made Emperor Chongzhen so angry that he almost vomited blood...

The Capital Camp of the Ming Dynasty capital is also known as the Three Major Camps.

——Including the Five Army Camp, the Three Thousand Camp and the Shenji Camp.

During the reign of Zhu Di, the Beijing Camp reached its peak.

At that time, the Ming Dynasty's Beijing camp had a total of 50 troops.

As time went by, there were various reasons.

This resulted in a gradual reduction in the strength of the Beijing camp.

However, during the Chongzhen period, the organization was based on the written form.

The Beijing camp should have a strength of over 200,000 troops.

As a result, this time Chongzhen asked someone to investigate.

However, he discovered that the actual strength of the Beijing Camp was almost half of the data on paper.

Moreover, many of them are old, weak, sick and disabled.

Emperor Chongzhen then ordered a strict investigation into things like eating empty salaries, sucking the blood of soldiers, and corruption in the army.

Then it was the turn of the nobles to suffer misfortune.

The Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard finally became powerful.

He also had the support of Yuan Chonghuan, Wang Huazhen and others.

You will feel more confident in doing things.

He simply ignored all the obstructions from the noble group.

Soon, the details of the upstart group were thoroughly investigated.

All kinds of evidence were put before Emperor Chongzhen...

So after a few days, Chongzhen's butcher knife was turned on the nobles again.

Once again, there were a lot of killings.

The old Duke of England abdicated, let his son inherit the title, and donated a large amount of money.

This barely saved his title of Duke of England.

This was because Emperor Chongzhen, out of consideration for the Duke of England's lineage, put a lot of effort into his ascension to the throne.

Otherwise, he would not have let the British prince go so easily.

Other nobles relied on the influence of their ancestors.

And everyone huddled together hoping for luck.

They were reluctant to give up the power in their hands, and they were also reluctant to hand over the large amount of gold and silver.

He is simply stubborn and unrepentant.

Not at all as sensible as the British prince.

For example, Duke Chengguo Zhu Neng.

It was thought that Emperor Chongzhen did not dare to kill the nobles.

He refused to hand over the embezzled money or admit his guilt, and even wanted to mobilize public opinion to protest.

The result was that Emperor Chongzhen ordered the confiscation of property and extermination of the entire family.

Even the bigwigs at the duke level had their property confiscated and their clans exterminated.

It was even easier for Emperor Chongzhen to deal with those nobles such as marquises and earls!

So after killing the civil servants.

Emperor Chongzhen also massacred many meritorious officials and military generals.

During this process, many small-scale riots and gun fights occurred.

Because the noble families all have private soldiers.

In the dying struggle, it is natural to fight back!

However, the combat effectiveness of the Guanning Cavalry.

It's more than enough to deal with those old soldiers.

So, although there were some twists and turns in the middle.

But overall it was relatively smooth and achieved Emperor Chongzhen's goals.

In just less than 10 days.

More than 100 civil and military officials had their property confiscated and their families exterminated by Emperor Chongzhen.

And in the process of confiscating property and exterminating the clan.

It was even witnessed by Emperor Chongzhen.

How rich are those officials?

It is said that this was a large-scale house search.

The gold and silver confiscated alone, when converted into silver, amounted to more than 1900 million taels.

Then add other materials and fixed assets.

All converted together, it is a huge fortune.

Some say the total was more than 3000 million taels, while others say it was more than 5000 million taels.

Anyway, in a nutshell.

That means Emperor Chongzhen got rich!

Emperor Chongzhen became rich and tasted the sweetness.

It seems that no one looks like a good person.

I hate corrupt officials even more.

So it didn't take long for the situation in the capital to stabilize.

Emperor Chongzhen has made another big move...

……
