Daming: Lend the system to Emperor Hongwu at the beginning

Chapter 80 Guangzhou City Let's Have the Final say

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month in the 30th year of Daoguang, Emperor Daoguang, who had lived for 68 years, finally died.

The whole country grieves, and all the people (the Tartars) mourn together.

Yet the way someone mourned the event was unusual.

In June, Hong Xiuquan gathered more than [-] followers of God's religion in Jintian, Guangxi, and launched an armed uprising.

In August, Anhui Zhang Xingle gathered in Bozhou to fight against the Qing Dynasty.

On the ninth day of September, the Red Flag Gang, which had been silent for 20 years, had tens of thousands of warships and tens of thousands of people. They landed in Humen at night and attacked Guangzhou City by surprise.

And to everyone's surprise, this time, these Hongqi Gang pirates did not loot after they captured Guangzhou. After slaughtering the Qing troops, they began to exercise government functions to punish those bullies and bandits who took advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble.

This is the first time I have ever seen such a thing!

"This is too cool!"

"I have been a pirate for 20 years, and I have never fought such a smooth battle!"

"When I hit the gate of Guangzhou, you can believe that the gate is open!"

"Haha, the same goes for me. There is no one guarding the dignified Governor's Office of Guangdong and Guangxi. When we entered, Ye Mingchen, the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, was still sleeping with his wife in his arms!"

Mu Ying, who was standing behind Zhu Yuanzhang, couldn't help but reach out and touch her nose when she heard the words. There was quite a sense of refreshment that she had swept away her clothes and had hidden merit in her life.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat high on the main seat and looked at the excited pirate chiefs below. After they had said enough, he opened his mouth and said: "Everyone, it is not difficult to clean up the Qing soldiers left by the government, but the difficult thing is governance. ."

"Today our big event has been accomplished, it's a big day, but we have to say something ugly first!"

"Liu Bang entered Xianyang with three chapters of the law. Today we have to make rules first. The big guy must act carefully in the future. If anyone violates the rules we set, don't blame us for not talking about brotherhood."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand as he spoke, and Mu Ying, who was behind him, immediately read out the rules set by Zhu Yuanzhang one by one.

There are more than 20 large and small feet.

The more the pirate chiefs below, the more ugly their faces became.

"The third master, we are pirates, not officers and soldiers!"

"You said before that this battle should be resolved quickly, and no looting will be allowed. After we listened to your entry into the city, we went straight to the government office and the Governor's Palace of Guangdong and Guangxi."

"But now that the city has entered, it is still not allowed to do anything, and even pay for a meal, so what are we going to do in this Guangzhou city?"

"Going to the city is to enjoy prosperity and wealth, not to be happy for a while!"

"If you think the rules we set are harsh, we won't make things difficult for you. Those who want to leave will be given 100 taels of silver, and you can go back to Heishi Island first."

It was promised to be 100 acres of high-quality fertile land before, but now it has become [-] taels of silver. Everyone is not a fool, so naturally they know which one is better.

So I didn't speak for a while.

"very good!"

"Since you are willing to stay, you must abide by these rules!"

"If it is violated, we will not show you any mercy under this knife."

When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, his expression couldn't help softening a little, and he smiled: "Don't worry, this rule is only temporary, and it won't be long before we make everyone's pockets bulge!"

When everyone heard Zhu Yuanzhang's promise, the resentment between their expressions was slightly reduced.

Having beaten these pirate chiefs, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately summoned representatives from more than a dozen major clans inside and outside Guangzhou City.

The energy of these patriarchs is also quite huge, and they have a huge appeal among the people.

That is to say, this surprise attack on Guangzhou was quick enough. If it was delayed for a day or two, and these people reacted, they would be able to summon tens of thousands of townships to defend the city in an instant. It would be difficult to attack Guangzhou City at that time.

"Everyone, you are all famous local villagers!"

"We know that the people of Guangzhou have suffered a lot from the British, and the Manchus did not decide for you, and always favored the foreigners, but today we are here, and we will have the final say on the city of Guangzhou in the future. If the British devils dare to come again, we will Make sure they come and go!"

"We invited you here today to show you our determination!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand while speaking, and more than 60 British devils were escorted in immediately.

"These are the British businessmen and sailors who have bullied the market in Guangzhou for the past year. We will kill them all in front of you today!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand directly while speaking, and immediately more than 60 British devils fell directly to the ground.

There were constant exclamations in the lobby, and some of the old guys even turned pale with fright.

"From now on, everything will be business as usual in Guangzhou City!"

"We will restrain our subordinates and do nothing to you and your business."

"We don't care whether the goods come in or go out, and the commercial tax at the customs is also in accordance with the old rules."

"If the British devils come to encircle the rented land again, we will help you block it!"

When everyone heard the words, they all looked at each other in dismay, not understanding what medicine this person was selling in the gourd.

"Hehe, we don't have any big ambitions. Now the pirates don't want to do it. They just want to live a peaceful life like the villagers in Guangzhou City."

"If you make it easier for us, then everyone will have a better time. If you don't feel comfortable with yourself, then it's a big deal to kill everyone sitting here, and then go to sea to be a pirate!"

Hearing this, many squires felt a little uncomfortable.

Each of these people has a great family and a great career. Guangzhou is now occupied by Zhu Yuanzhang, which means that they are holding their fate. Naturally, they dare not make any more mistakes.

"Looking at this person's behavior seems to be following the rules."

"I hope he can be like what he said!" Everyone wished silently in their hearts, and reluctantly recognized Zhu Yuanzhang's identity as the city owner of Guangzhou.

"He Gui, Hua Pengyi, Yi Kaixin, Du Jugang, you guys stay here for a while, we have something to say!" Seeing that everyone was about to leave, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke again.

The few people whose names were called couldn't help but feel nervous when they heard the words.

These families have one thing in common, they are all families with high-ranking officials in the imperial court.

The rest of the people looked at their noses and hearts, and knew that these families were going to be unlucky, but none of them helped to speak. Everyone went out one after another, and soon they were all gone.

If Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say hello and killed him directly, then they would feel fear, anger and lack of security, and they would launch a force to resist and target Zhu Yuanzhang.

But now, after Zhu Yuanzhang laid out the facts, reasoned, and established rules, after such a beating, everyone understood that although this man had a gun and was a pirate, he still played by the rules.

As for the unfortunate few, then it can't be controlled so much. After all, they are pirates, so it is enough to kill only a few of them.

Besides, in today's troubled times, who can take care of who?

If you want to blame it, you can only blame the high officials of the Qing Dynasty in their family!

Usually because there are people in the court, they are very arrogant and domineering, but now they are unlucky!

Live it!
