Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 375

How powerful the Ming Dynasty's intelligence agency is now is far beyond what these rotten scholars can imagine.

They think they are doing everything seamlessly, but they don't know that Dongchang and Jinyiwei are in full control of what they do.

Their every move is being watched secretly. It is not a pity for the four rotten scholars to die, and their family will also be wiped out with them.

"Your Excellency is in chaos, everything is in chaos, these rotten scholars are about to rebel, please think of a way!"

After receiving the report, the prefect of Nanjing ran over in a panic and reported the situation outside to the governor Zhu Yinxi.

Seeing the magistrate's incoherent speech, Zhu Yinxi signaled him to calm down and speak well.

"Calm down, what does it mean that the official is in a mess, let me explain in detail."

"My lord, it's all in chaos outside. Those gentlemen and literati have taken to the streets to demonstrate and demand the cancellation of reforms. Some people have even started smashing, looting and burning down shops..."

"What? Go out and see what's going on, and at the same time send someone to investigate the mastermind behind it."

Zhu Yinxi, the governor of Jiangsu, was taken aback. Two days ago, he heard that there were literati and gentlemen parading in Suzhou. He immediately sent someone to appease him. Why did the trouble come to Nanjing today?

This kind of development is too fast, it must be an organized and premeditated action, and they must be stopped immediately.

Having said that, Daming's literati and gentlemen are not something ordinary people can afford.

Not only do they have a rich family background, but the network of relationships behind them is also intricate. None of them is a vegetarian, and the key is that so many people act at the same time.

As the governor of Jiangsu, Zhu Yinxi attached great importance to this, and immediately led dozens of guards onto the streets.

The bustling streets in Nanjing were almost all occupied by gentlemen at this time. They held up banners and shouted slogans, and their momentum was quite impressive.

Some people saw that there were still open shops, and immediately rushed to start looting.

Some are aiming to close all shops, while others are fishing in troubled waters to create chaos.

There were even a few shops emitting agricultural smoke, apparently being set on fire.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Zhu Yinxi's head felt dark and he almost fainted.

What do these gentry want to do? Daming finally started to revive. Isn't this trying to make Daming fall into a catastrophe?
Today's Holy Majesty is definitely a Dao Mingjun. As soon as the people live a good life, the gentry start to make trouble. Don't they think that the law does not punish the public?
It's a big mistake. When the Holy One killed corrupt officials, which one of them didn't he be exterminated and implicate hundreds of people? These people are too naive.

"Come on, order the commanders to mobilize the army to protect the people's houses and shops from being attacked. If anyone dares to smash and burn the shops, I will arrest them all."

Arrest them, as the governor of Jiangsu, Zhu Yinxi did not dare to kill so many gentry, so he could only arrest them first.

But the Commander shook his head helplessly:

"My lord, where do we still have an army, the army was transferred away by Master Qinglong, the commander of Jin Yiwei."

Zhu Yinxi was taken aback again. What did the commander of Jin Yiwei mobilize the local army? How would they maintain stability without the army?
There is no way, Zhu Yinxi can only lead officials from various departments in Jiangsu to come forward to persuade.

"Quickly, call all the officials to the streets to persuade the gentry not to cause sabotage, and to protect the safety of innocent people even at the cost of their lives."

"My lord, this... you can see that they all seem to be crazy, it's too dangerous..."

When some officials saw the crowd of demonstrators, they were very afraid and did not dare to step forward to stop them.

Zhu Yinxi stared and scolded sharply:
"As officials of the Ming Dynasty, when there is a situation that is unfavorable to the Ming Dynasty, you must contribute to the Ming Dynasty and benefit the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Otherwise, what do you want to do? All those who are afraid of the former show that you have colluded with those gentlemen, and you will be dismissed on the spot and taken to prison for investigation. "

At the beginning, Zhu Youjian reused the benefits of the loyal and righteous people of Ming Dynasty, and now he has brought it out.

Although their ability to govern the country is not necessarily better than some people, they will never join forces with those who are not good for Ming Dynasty at critical moments.

For the safety of the people of Ming Dynasty and the majesty of the emperor, they would not hesitate to use their lives to defend it.

In these aspects, they are by no means comparable to those second ministers who are sloppy and weak.

Zhu Yinxi took the lead to go to the gentry who were smashing and making trouble.

Seeing an old man being overthrown by the crowd, he hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man, and stood in front of the crowd, blocking their way forward.

"Gentlemen, my official is Zhu Yinxi, the governor of Jiangsu, please listen to my words.

You can't do this, the people are innocent, if you have opinions or good suggestions, you can send people to negotiate with the emperor.

If you are dissatisfied with the reforms of the Ming Dynasty, you can express it, but don't cholera the place!

What's the difference between you doing this and rebelling? If the emperor knows about this, it will be you gentry who are making trouble..."

The progress of the crowd did not stop because of Zhu Yinxi's shout, but aroused their anger.

They all shouted at Zhu Yinzhi:
"Look, Zhu Yinxi, governor of Jiangsu, is here, and he told us to stop the parade."

"Don't pay attention to him, he is a loyal servant of the dog emperor, and he will not speak for us gentry."

"Kill the dog officer to death and occupy Nanjing Mansion..."

I didn't know that the crowd shouted something, and then many people rushed to Zhu Yinxi and other officials.

Facing the menacing crowd, Zhu Yinxi and other officials did not flinch, but were still trying to comfort them.

But people don't listen to them at all, they are not afraid of Emperor Ming, and they still care about you, the governor of Jiangsu.

These officials are all literati, how can they stop the crazy demonstration crowd.

Except for a few officials who are greedy for life and afraid of death, they slipped away when they saw the situation was not good.

The remaining officials who were dedicated to Ming Dynasty were immediately surrounded and beaten by the crowd.

Soon their government offices were torn apart, their official hats were trampled under their feet by the crowd, and some people's beards were pulled out.

Zhu Yinxi was also kicked many times, his hair was disheveled and his face was bruised, and he couldn't speak out the pain, but these gentry still didn't stop.

Seeing that these officials were about to be beaten to death by the crowd, suddenly a loud arrow was shot into the sky.

"Hey..."

"Da da da……"

Immediately after the sounding arrow lifted into the sky, there was a huge vibration on the ground, as if thousands of troops and horses were galloping.

The chaotic crowd gradually quieted down at this time, and after a while, someone began to encourage the gentry again.

"Everyone, don't be afraid, the dog emperor will not do anything to us gentry, the law does not blame the public.

If the emperor dared to send troops to forcibly suppress us gentry, wouldn't he be afraid that the world's scholars would be chilled?
Think back when we beat to death the eunuchs who came to Jinling to collect taxes, the emperor didn’t even let go..."

Under the instigation of some people, the gentry became active, and some people began to attack the shops along the street, preparing to set fire to nearby houses.

The Jinling officials lying on the ground felt that their lives were in danger, and of course they were powerless to stop them.

At this moment, the sound of horseshoes was getting closer, and soon groups of cavalry appeared in front of them.

The dozens of people in the lead are Jinyiwei wearing flying fish uniforms, and behind them is a team of heavily armed cavalry.

Qinglong looked at those gentry who acted recklessly, snorted coldly, and drew out the Xiuchun knife:

"The whole army obeys the order. There is a decree in the holy order. Disorderly people cause chaos, and there is no mercy for killing them. If anyone lets go of the rebellious people, he will be guilty of the same crime as the rebellious people, and the three clans will be wiped out!"
