Daming: Lend the system to Emperor Hongwu at the beginning

Chapter 81 We Want to Kill People [Seeking Monthly Pass]

"We want to kill!"

"Kill many, many people!"

"To tell you the truth, there are only four of your clans, there are too few, so it's not easy for us to kill them." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the four clan chiefs who were fidgeting opposite, and spoke in a deep voice.

"Forgive the master!"

"We really didn't do anything." The four of them knelt down when they heard the words, crying bitterly and begging for mercy.

"We know that you didn't do anything. If you did, we wouldn't even tell you this nonsense!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up with his hands behind his back and continued: "But doing nothing is not enough. We know that behind you there is a big family, with thousands of acres of fertile land and millions of hidden silver."

"There are many industries and businesses at home!"

"If we use the excuse that someone in your court wants to inform the Manchu court to kill you, then no one will say anything. You have all seen the choices of those people just now!"

"They don't care if you live or die."

Seeing the despair in the eyes of a few people, Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "In this way, we have two advantages, firstly, by killing the chickens to warn the monkeys, by slaughtering you, we can shock all the big families and landlords in Guangzhou, and make them not dare to make troubles, secondly, we will Previously, I promised all the leaders of the gang to give them [-] acres of fertile land, but this matter has not yet been settled, and it can be applied to you."

"Tell me, with so many benefits, can we not kill you all!"

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's penetrating analysis, the four of them fell to the ground in fright. They suddenly discovered that if they stood in Zhu Yuanzhang's position, they would have to kill themselves.

Seeing how many people were completely frightened, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said again: "Of course, you can also find reasons to convince us. As long as we can convince us, we don't need to kill you."

"We are willing to train troops for the master's salary." Someone had an idea and said loudly.

"Too petty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head: "We don't lack your few taels of silver."

"We have land, and we are willing to donate it to the top five...not [-]%!" Someone else said.

"Hehe, if we kill you, we can get [-]%!" Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head again.

"Reason, reason...!"

The four of them thought hard, and suddenly someone had an idea: "Pirates, I know that the Ma family in Guangzhou City secretly raises pirates and plunders the merchant ships along the way. Whoever opposes them will secretly instruct the pirates to go ashore to plunder and kill people. Three months ago because of They took a fancy to the land of Shanghuang Village, so they ordered the pirates to massacre Shanghuang Village, and more than 6000 people, men, women and children were killed overnight."

"Oh, it really is nothing new under the sun. These officials and gentlemen in the late Ming and Qing Dynasties are the same raccoon dog."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with a strong killing intent, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It's interesting, you continue to say."

"And the Cheng family, who colluded with foreigners to sell opium!"

Afraid of falling behind, some people also began to identify.

As the saying goes, if people don't do it for themselves, they will be destroyed. Just now, those guys knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to kill them. One or two chose to protect themselves and ran faster than rabbits. Now that they have exposed it, they really have no psychological burden at all.

They just want to live now.

"Not bad!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and pointed to the table next to him: "There is a pen and paper on it, write down everything you know. You are all in Guangzhou City, and you can't see your head down, you must know them best!"

After half an hour, the four were finally released.

The four of them breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at each other, and left in a hurry.

They had a hunch that the city of Guangzhou was probably going to set off a huge wave this time.

"Mao Xiang, lead someone to slaughter these families!" Zhu Yuanzhang who was silent for a moment in the hall suddenly spoke up.

Mao Xiang nodded and left with a murderous look on his face.

He knew for a long time that these four families would surely die.

Zhu Yuanzhang managed to stabilize the gentry in Guangzhou City, how could he be willing to have the possibility of the conversation with the four of them spreading out again today, affecting the stability of Guangzhou City.

So killing is the best option.

The collapse of the Four Families did not cause anyone to be disturbed, after all, this was something that everyone had acquiesced to for a long time.

Isn't this politics?
Everyone understands.

Half a month later, the city lord's mansion suddenly spread the news that the army's salaries were not enough and needed to be donated.

Many gentlemen in and out of the city suddenly showed a look like this.

"Hehe, what this person said before was nice, and he is not on the same level as Man Qing, and they are both dead for money." Someone sneered disdainfully.

"I'm very familiar with Shi Dutong of Jingshan. Do you want me to send someone to deliver a letter to tell him the current situation of Guangzhou City and ask him to bring troops to fight the rebellion?" Another humane said.

"forget it!"

"This person is a pirate of the Hongqi Gang. If the officers and soldiers really come, it is estimated that they will burn, kill, loot, slap their butt and run away. In the end, we will suffer."

"Besides, Shi Dutong's appetite is not small. If he was allowed to bring troops into Guangzhou City, I'm afraid he would want more."

"Break up the wealth and eliminate the disaster!"

"It's a little bit of money anyway!"

"Just feed the dog!"

Soon everyone's opinions reached a consensus, and 30 taels of silver were sent to Zhu Yuanzhang in three days.

"Tsk tsk!"

"Sure enough, the third master can play!"

"Just to release a message, these people really obediently delivered the money!" Ma Liu, the leader of the Hongqi Gang, looked at the 30 taels of silver in front of him, and his eyes couldn't help but shine.

He had already obtained the [-] acres of land promised by Zhu Yuanzhang, all of which were first-class fields, so he was naturally more convinced of Zhu Yuanzhang at this moment.

"It's just to reassure their hearts. Sometimes when you ask them for money, they will trust you more."

"Take it and share it with the brothers!"

"Everyone will get it all!"

"Tell them that soon we will have a big move and let them polish their knives."

"And let us be honest and obedient, whoever dares to violate the military order will be killed without mercy!" Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly.

Hearing that he was able to share the money, Ma Liu immediately opened his eyes and smiled, but when he heard the last sentence, he couldn't help but tremble again.

He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was definitely not joking.

In the past two weeks, there have been no less than fifty members of the Hongqi Gang who were beheaded by Zhu Yuanzhang in public.

Just when the gentry paid the money and thought they could live in peace for a while, no one noticed that the entire Guangzhou Prefecture was quietly changing.

Numerous rumors began to circulate among the lower classes. Several big families colluded with pirates, and the scandals of selling opium, looting refugees and selling them to the British were even made up into songs and spread wantonly.

In particular, the Cheng family, whose influence spreads all over Guangzhou, even secretly helped the British to sell opium.

Rumors circulated for a month, and the Cheng family, who had a good reputation in the past, gradually became stinky throughout Guangzhou.

The head of the Cheng family was furious and sent people to arrest the murderer who spread the rumors, but unfortunately he didn't catch a single hair.

Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the heat was almost over, and under the raging public opinion, he had to invite the Cheng family patriarch to the City Lord's Mansion to ask whether the matter was true or not.

　Let me tell my brothers, this book will be on the shelves next Friday at noon. Brothers, try to read it as much as possible in the past few days. These days, you have been reading the crotch. Now there are four chapters in the manuscript. I will save more manuscripts, and it will explode on the shelves.
