Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 498 Demonstration (two chapters in one)

To say that this Chongzhen was also impatient, he spent the whole night thinking about what Liu Hongjian said last night, and made four consecutive orders when he went to court the next day before the officials could act.

The first decree was that the chief criminals of the rebel army headed by Zhu Changrun were beheaded several times, and all the slaves, personal guards, and servants of the rebels were exiled to the Northeast Province.

All the nobles who were imprisoned in Jinyiwei Imperial Prison, Dongchang, and the Prison of the Ministry of Justice were demoted to common people, and all their property was confiscated.

The second decree was to abolish the six ministries of Nanjing and the yamen of each department. Except for the [-] court ladies and eunuchs and [-] imperial guards left behind in the Nanjing imperial palace, the rest of the officials will all enter Beijing to wait for their posts after receiving the decree.

The administrative division of Nanzhili was removed, and the fourteen prefecture-level divisions originally belonged to Nanzhili. Except for Yingtianfu (Nanjing), which was directly under the imperial court, several prefectures south of the Yangtze River belonged to Zhejiang, and the rest such as Fengyang and Anqing After the merger of other governments, Hui'an Province was newly established, with Fengyang Prefecture as the successor to announce the Department of Political Envoys.

The Nanjing garrison Jin was the chief soldier, and [-] troops were allowed to be recruited. The post of chief soldier was temporarily replaced by Shi Kefa, the former Minister of the Ministry of War of Nanjing.

Since then, the thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty have increased to sixteen, including Northeast Province, Menggu Province, and Hui'an Province, plus Beijing and Nanjing directly under the Central Government.

The third decree is to measure the acres of land, whether it is inside or outside the customs, no matter who owns the existing land, including Huangzhuang, all of them will be brought under the control of the imperial court, re-measured, and redistributed.

The fourth decree is to dismantle the five armies' governor's mansions and dismantle all the guards. Those who can fight will enter the Beijing camp, and the rest will be allocated acres of land.

Wang Erxi read aloud for a quarter of an hour with the drake's voice, before finishing the four orders.

Three breaths after the decree was read, no one in the Huangji Hall said anything, including the cabinet leaders, all the courtiers were stunned by Chongzhen's big stick, and they all gasped for breath. the meaning of.

The first assistant Li Banghua and the second assistant Fan Jingwen saw surprise and disappointment in each other's eyes. What does it mean that such an important decree issued by Chongzhen has not passed the cabinet?
The emperor wants to monopolize the power, wants to be a dictator!
"I object!" Wang Jiayan, the right servant of the Ministry of War, left his squad.

"I object!" Nine times out of ten, all ministries and divisions stood up.

The court turned into a vegetable market in an instant, and the courtiers did not even say which of the four principles they objected to. In short, apart from the chief assistant Li Banghua and the new minister of rites, Han Yu, the courtiers were rarely so united. be opposed to.

Those who can stand in the palace of the emperor, there are a few of them are idlers, and all the courtiers realized that it is no longer a battle between courtiers and courtiers. What do you want your majesty to do with such arbitrariness?

The first decree is about the Zhu family's family affairs, they should not comment on it logically, and they are even a little secretly happy to see the misfortune of the relatives.

The fourth way is that it doesn't matter, the relatives have gone through this difficulty, honestly like a group of pugs, they withdrew as soon as they left, anyway, the courtiers didn't like the group of lords anyway.

The second way is difficult for the courtiers to accept. Nanjing has been the capital since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. I can go to Nanjing to retire.

How do you say that it was withdrawn?So if you make a mistake in the future, you can only go home and farm?no!This is the ancestral system and must not be revoked!

The third way, what?Measure the land and nationalize it?Then it is even more, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely impossible to agree. Without these fertile fields, how can we live on, pointing to the poor salary issued by the imperial court?
The ministers who can stand on top of the court have all gone through several times of house raids by Chongzhen. Most of the courtiers are clean, but no matter how clean they are, who doesn't have hundreds of acres of fertile land?

The most important thing is that His Majesty issued an official decree for so many important matters of the country, and he didn't even discuss it with the cabinet. How could the courtiers bear it?
Although the first and second orders were to suppress the nobles and benefit their civil servants, the courtiers still chose to oppose them all!

This is no longer a battle between civil servants and military generals, but a battle between the cabinet and hundreds of officials and the imperial power. Even if it is to unite all the forces that can be united, we must oppose it, and we must not set a precedent for the founding of the country!
"Your Majesty's behavior is against the ancestral system, and the ministers are against it!" Fang Yuegong, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, is out of class. Fang Yuegong is nearly [-] years old, and he is honest in the cabinet. Now he is standing in Chongzhen. the opposite of.

Chief Assistant Li Banghua and Minister of Rites Han Yu still didn't say a word, Li Banghua was a bachelor, he wasn't well received by the courtiers, he didn't care what Chongzhen did, as Minister of the Ministry of War, as long as he didn't bother Ming soldiers, he didn't care.

Han Yu's new minister was light-hearted and didn't want to go into this muddy water, and he didn't believe that His Majesty came up with these ideas himself. If there was no shadow of Anguo County King Liu Hongjian, he wouldn't believe it even if he was killed.

Since it was proposed by his seat master, how could his disciple object?
What's more, these colleagues are really impatient, and they don't look at the current situation. Today's Daming is no longer the Daming of two years ago. Haven't you seen the fate of those relatives?

Regarding the farce in the court, Chongzhen has been watching with cold eyes, and he even only said the word Xuanzhi when he went to court.

"My dear friends, don't be in a hurry to express your opinion. You can go back and think carefully, and make a decision in two days. Retire!" If it was the past, so many courtiers opposed him, Chongzhen would have lost his temper.

But now Chongzhen's heart is as calm as water, as if watching a group of poor people, he got up calmly and walked out of the hall, leaving only a group of courtiers filled with righteous indignation.

Li Banghua, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, visited the Prince's Mansion of Anguo County that night.

Liu Hongjian was at home with his wife and children, Jiangnan and his party took more than a month, Yang Xue was going to give birth soon, and the people in Anguo County Prince's Mansion were all smiling.

Li Banghua was very worried. Although he didn't care about Chongzhen's will, he was still worried that if this matter became serious, the court might cause a series of turmoil.

There are so many officials in the world, and they have been here for 300 years. Now that His Majesty is going to take over the land of the officials, what is the difference between cutting off their lives?
Liu Hongjian didn't expect Uncle Chongzhen to be so awesome, so resolute that it was outrageous, and so terrifying that it was shocking.

He just said a lot of opinions casually, but who knows that the uncle not only took it seriously, but even raised the agenda immediately.

Hearing Li Banghua's worries, Liu Hongjian was not surprised. Although he was a little impatient, Liu Hongjian could understand the current situation and Chongzhen's own body.

Many things were left to the attention of the authorities, but Liu Hongjian only said one sentence to Li Banghua: Thunderbolt means, Bodhisattva heart, this is for the benefit of all people, and paves the way for the younger generation!

I didn't say too much, how could Li Banghua not understand, junior?Who else?Shocked in his heart, Li Banghua was even more worried than before when he returned.

It's just that Li Banghua ran into an acquaintance as soon as he left the gate of the Prince's Mansion in Anguo County. Han Yu, Minister of Rites, lowered his head and almost bumped into him.

As the chief assistant of the cabinet, going to the Prince's Mansion of Anguo County is easy to attract gossip, and the minister of the Ministry of Rites is similar. The two looked at each other, smiled awkwardly, and left.

Han Yu came here to find out what his boss was thinking. If Liu Hongjian really meant this, he would definitely speak out in support of Chongzhen. Although the answer was yes, Han Yu was still muttering in his heart about Chongzhen's ruthlessness.

"Isn't your lord afraid that all the officials in the world will be chilled? I think it's a little too hasty to take back the farmland at this time." Although Han Yu followed Liu Hongjian's lead, he still thought about the court in his heart, and he didn't want His Majesty to quarrel with all the officials. so stiff.

Moreover, in his opinion, what His Majesty has done is indeed a little too much. By accepting the filial piety under the name of officials, relying on their salaries, at least 80.00% of the officials in Ming Dynasty have to eat pickles.

People with a discerning eye will understand after a little thought. Based on their understanding of Chongzhen, this idea must be the same as suppressing relatives. It is not His Majesty's idea alone. Then, who else can influence His Majesty in this way?
I'm afraid that most of the colleagues in the capital are secretly cursing the lord now!

Alas, the seat lord is still too young and too vigorous, so what benefit can he gain from being an enemy of the whole world's relatives and civil servants?

If Liu Hongjian knew that his older disciple thought about him so much, he would definitely laugh. If a young man is not arrogant, is he still called a young man?

"Back, as the saying goes, give a sweet date with a slap, do you know why the slap is the first, not the date?" Liu Hongjian held Xiao Aotian who had begun to babble, and said lightly .

"Because..." Han Yu was actually tested by Liu Hongjian, the reason is really too simple.

Slapping someone and then giving dates will make people forget the pain and even appreciate your reward, but if you give dates first and then slap someone, what will people think?
This is a psychological problem!Han Yu has also been immersed in officialdom for 20 years, so he still doesn't understand what Liu Hongjian means.

"I understand now! Thank you, Master, for your enlightenment." Han Yu's heart suddenly brightened. As long as His Majesty and the Master consider the resistance of the officials, it will not be a big deal.

Just after the slap, what kind of dates are your Majesty and the seat owner going to distribute?

Liu Hongjian didn't say anything, and he didn't ask.

On the second day, for the first time, Chongzhen did not have an early court, but the yamen of the six ministries and three divisions received oral orders. At [-]:[-] a.m., all the yamen officials put down their political affairs and rushed to the streets of Xishi, the capital, to watch the execution.

And the verbal instructions are very clear, you are not allowed to go, and you are not allowed to leave halfway.

Observation?What punishment can I still watch?

After all the relatives imprisoned in Jinyiwei Chao Prison, Dongchang Prison, and the Prison of the Ministry of Justice were demoted to commoners, the vacated prisons were not idle for a moment. Zhu Changrun and his rebellious relatives lived in that night.

And it’s not enough to live in. There are no less than 2000 people in the direct line of the rebel army’s wives and children. Just throwing tens of thousands of prisoners of the guards into the Xishan Camp for custody, otherwise even if all the cells are stuffed like sardines No more.

Although they were very reluctant, the courtiers did not dare to resist the decree. On the contrary, they worked in various government offices on weekdays. Take it soft and so on.

Since Meng Zhaoxiang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, did not agree with Chongzhen's behavior, Cao Huachun, the supervisor of Dongchang, was in charge of the prison officer, and Meng Zhaoxiang just sat in the deputy seat and did not say a word.

As soon as noon arrived, Cao Huachun read Zhu Changrun and others' treasonous deeds in his male duck voice, and then prison cars drove from three directions: the Prison of the Ministry of Punishment, Jinyiwei Prison, and Dongchang Black Prison.

The onlookers in the capital didn't care about Sanqi 21, they picked up rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, and dirt and greeted them, knocking Zhu Changrun and others dizzy.

Because there were too many people, in order not to waste time, Cao Huachun ordered to behead 100 people at a time, and even the executioners were all served by fierce men from the Beijing camp.

With an order, a hundred heads rolled to the ground, blood was sprayed everywhere, the common people clicked their tongues, and even the timid ones among the officials turned pale.

Cao Huachun doesn't care about these things, old Cao Tianjin has been idle for six years, and now he is highly valued by the emperor, he is all about sharing the worries of Chongzhen, as for these rebellions, bah!
His old Cao has strung hundreds of sticks, and beheading a person is a ball!

Half an hour later, the corpses piled up on one side of the execution ground, and the blood flowed to the feet of the courtiers.

Lao Cao knew Chongzhen's intentions, so he put the headless body aside, and the heads were piled on the side where the courtiers gathered.

Most of the common people just came to watch something new and join in the fun. Under such a bloody scene, they had already run away.

The most pitiful thing is the officials of the Manchu Dynasty. They read sage books all day long, and they haven't even killed a chicken. Where have they seen such a battle, all of them are pale and trembling.

"Scared another one, little six, hurry up, go and help the old man up and find a wooden stool to sit on." Cao Huachun ordered the execution to continue, and at the same time ordered Dongchang's fan to help the fainted courtier up.

Cao Huachun seemed to have arranged the stool with good intentions, but if it was really kind, why didn't he let people go back?
"Four chiefs, what does your Majesty mean by this? Isn't this humiliating us?" Shi Bangzhao, the censor of Zuodu, was a little dizzy from the blood, and lowered his head to Fang Yuegong, the official secretary with the same ugly face.

"Hey, Master Shi still can't see it? This is His Majesty demonstrating to us!
If I wait and refuse to obey, I may not be the next one to be beheaded, I will wait! "Fang Yuegong shook his head and replied, before he got up and left.

"My lord, the punishment is not over yet. Your Majesty has an order..." Shi Bangzhao reminded although his heart was desolate.

"I'm getting old, I'll beg for the bones tomorrow morning!" Fang Yue Gong said in a low voice without turning his head, and then scolded the Dongchang fans who were blocking the perimeter and left resolutely.

Another half an hour passed, and a total of more than 87 rebels were killed. Under the sea of ​​corpses and blood, [-] courtiers fainted, and nine out of ten vomited.

There is no doubt that this group of guys will definitely not be able to eat within a day after returning home, and it is even estimated that many people will be able to give up meat.

Liu Hongjian was standing by the window of a private room on the second floor of a restaurant on the street in Xishi. He also knew that he was not welcomed by the courtiers, but he still wanted to come and see their ugly behavior.

"My lord! My lord! I gave birth to the second wife, twin daughters!" Niu Dabangchu suddenly pushed the door open and entered, shouting loudly.

PS: It has been on the shelves for nearly five months, and today I finally got another leader. I am happy, and there will be more changes later.
