Daming: My brother-in-law is Zhu Youxiao

Chapter 271 Three Swords and Six Holes!The random blade pierced the traitor many holes!
Ma Xunwu is not only a black glove used by Shandong gentry to squeeze the people, but also a white glove used by vassal kings like King De to squeeze the people.

For example, the acquisition of land.

Ma Xunwu would often instigate his soldiers to pretend to be bandits, and kill the original owner of a piece of land that King De liked on behalf of King De.

Then King De would annex his land and report to the governor that there was banditry in the area, and Ma Xunwu would kill a few more good people, pretending that the banditry had been calmed down.

Therefore, after King De saw that the Shandong General Army Mansion was surrounded by many guards, he deliberately came to rescue Ma Xunwu.

After all, he really didn't want to lose such a good black glove.

Because not all general officers are willing to do this.

It's actually not that easy to meet a general officer who has no bottom line.

Therefore, after King De appeared here, he couldn't help but want to stop Zhang Gui.

But Zhang Gui did not intend to give face to King De's clan. After all, he did not kill the clan before, so he asked, "Why did His Royal Highness appear here suddenly? Could it be that His Highness De Wang also colluded with them? Participated in the murder." The case of the prince?!"

"Your Highness, save me!"

At this time, Ma Xunwu also shouted because he was anxious to survive.

But after hearing what Zhang Gui said, King De was already timid, afraid that Zhang Gui would really drag him into the case of framing the prince.

What's more, King De also knew Zhang Gui's ruthlessness.

So, De Wang immediately changed his face and said with a smile: "I'm just passing by, just passing by, because I saw that Uncle Guo was here to handle the case, so I called out, and asked Uncle Guo, if you have time to come to the palace to sit down?" Sit? I would like to sweep the couch to welcome you! In addition, how can I have two excellent children who will serve Uncle Guo at that time?!"

"Thanks to His Highness's kindness, this supervisor is on official business, so I don't want to disturb you!"

Zhang Gui rejected King De, and then ordered: "Execution!"

Ma Xunwu was very disappointed, and when he didn't know what to do, many bayonets were already poking at him.

Pfft!

Pfft!

Pfft!

Soon, dozens of transparent holes were added to Ma Xunwu's body, his mouth and nose began to bleed, and he died tragically in front of King De.

Zhang Gui went on to say: "Confiscate the property of the Shandong General Army's yamen, and distribute all of it to the local battalion and military households to make up for the salary owed! Zhang Zanhua, go and call the battalion and military households."

It didn't take long for many ragged poor battalion soldiers and military households to appear outside the general's office.

And Ma Xunwu's embezzled army salary and looted family property were all piled up together, and piled up into a pile of gold and silver.

Many poor battalion soldiers and military households began to line up to receive registration and military pay.

From the Ming Dynasty to the present, the local military system has become very chaotic. The soldiers who are truly capable of fighting are all generals and private soldiers, while the battalion soldiers and military households who really belong to the imperial court have suffered worse than ordinary people. Slaves are enslaved by officers.

In fact, Zhang Gui had already planned to carry out a thorough reform of the local military system in Daming when he dealt with the Liao affairs in the future.

Less gossip.

Now, Zhang Gui has killed all the officers of Shandong Commander Division who followed Ma Xunwu in collusion, and then began to give money directly to these military households and battalions to make them improve their lives for a while, to show that the court has not forgotten them , can be regarded as rectifying the local military system of Ming Dynasty in a brutal way.

As for the new officers, Zhang Gui is going to ask Xia Yunyi to appoint them at that time.

When De Wang saw that a lot of gold and silver were distributed to the soldiers of the military households, he couldn't help being speechless, and secretly said: "What a crime, so much gold and silver were distributed to these lowly military households and camp soldiers!"

Although De Wang couldn't accept that the military households could get their own military pay, the military households themselves were very happy and kowtowed: "Master Qingtian!"

As for the Shandong gentry, seeing Hou Liu was arrested and knowing that the situation was completely unstoppable, they killed the slaves they sent out to act as bandits and made troubles, and dedicated them to the officers and soldiers.

The banditry in Shandong was quickly resolved.

In addition, after Xia Yunyi arrived in Shandong, he was able to do a lot more than when Kong Zhenshi was the governor of Shandong. Therefore, the New Deal was quickly implemented in Shandong.

Zhang Gui quickly went south after dealing with all this.

At the same time, Yiwang and his party from Jiangxi also sneaked into Zhejiang area secretly.

And not long after that.

The day in June of the eighth year of Tianqi.

It is the season of unbearable heat.

Shaoxing, Zhejiang.

The business where Zhang Gui's father-in-law Shang Zhouzuo works has been surrounded by the entire eastern Zhejiang gentry and the slave Xiangyong brought by these gentry.

Even King Yi appears here.

"Push up!"

At the same time, King Yi ordered his bodyguards to escort Shang Jingrui, the son of Shang Zhouzuo, up.

He has retired and returned to his hometown, and he doesn't want to be married to a foreign relative because he is greedy for the more powerful Shang Zhouzuo. He looked at King Yi.

As soon as Shang Jingrui saw Shang Zhouzuo, he also cried, "Father! The children have embarrassed you, the main reason is that they are too ruthless!"

King Yi said with a smile: "Shang Gong, I still say the same thing, as long as you are willing to raise troops with us, and call on the entire eastern Zhejiang gentry to surrender to Gu, and help Gu to succeed, Gu will return the Lingzi to you. , do not pursue his coming to Jiangxi Kaixilin Academy branch! And I will still leave you a chair in the cabinet!"

Shang Zhouzuo had the highest reputation among the gentry in eastern Zhejiang, and many gentry in eastern Zhejiang said that as long as King Yi came to persuade Shang Zhouzuo in person, they would join him in the uprising.

What's more, Shang Zhouzuo served as the governor of Fujian for many years, and because of his achievements in fighting against the Japanese in Fujian, he was respected by Fujian scholars and people, and he was familiar with bureaucrats and gentry at all levels in Fujian.

Therefore, King Yi had to come in person, and he also brought Shang Jingrui, the only son of Shang Zhouzuo who was secretly captured in Jiangxi, in order to persuade Shang Zhouzuo more easily, so that he could rely on Shang Zhouzuo after the incident. Easily get Fujian and Zhejiang provinces.

Shang Zhouzuo heard what King Yi said, and said, "Shang would rather die than be a rebellious minister!"

Shang Zhouzuo even asked King Yi because of this: "His Royal Highness, although His Majesty has changed the suzerain-vassal system now, and the children of the clan can go to Beijing to study, and they can go to the local government to perform duties under the imperial decree, but they did not say that they can go to other places without permission. , you come to the Han Mansion now, do you have an imperial decree?"

King Yi said: "There is no imperial decree, but there is the ancestral precept of Fengtian Jingnan."

"Then His Highness is violating the rules! You can follow the ancestral precepts of Tian Jing Nan without the emperor's edict. Besides, if you want Jing Nan, you shouldn't come here."

Shang Zhouzuo said neither humble nor overbearing.

Yi Wangdao: "Whatever you say, my highness is invited by the nobles in eastern Zhejiang to come here to ask you, the Shang family, to join the army, and Deng Wen will sever ties with his treacherous minister Zhang Gui, otherwise, we will have to be attached to the nobles. For the reason of rebellion, first wipe them out, and then go to court!"

Shang Zhouzuo understood the meaning of King Yi's words, but he was interested in the property of his business and wanted to increase the capital of rebellion.

Shang Zhouzuo also smiled and said: "His Royal Highness, our merchants will not rebel. In addition, I also advise you to go back to your own fief and plead guilty to the court. Perhaps, your majesty can still see it for the sake of being a clan." Treat you lightly."

"It seems that you are toasting and not eating fine wine!"

King Yi sneered, and then he drew his knife and chopped off one of Shang Jingrui's fingers.

"what!"

Shang Jingrui screamed.

King Yi also asked: "Shang Gong, don't you really feel bad?"

Shang Zhouzuo didn't answer.

King Yi continued: "It seems that Shang Gong is afraid that his son-in-law will be dissatisfied! In that case, Shang Gong should listen to what your son-in-law wants."

King Yi said to Shang Jingrui, "Say it! My brother-in-law Uncle Zhang Guo is a treacherous minister who has brought disaster to the country and the people! He is like a dog! How can my merchant work hand in hand with him!"

Shang Jingrui didn't say anything, but only glanced at Shang Zhouzuo.

"Say!"

King Yi clenched his teeth, and was about to cut off Shang Jingrui's finger with a knife, and said, "Hold his hand!"

"slow!"

Zhang Dai shouted at this time, and said, "His Royal Highness, why bother to spend energy on such a young man? Since Shang Gong refuses, why don't you hand over Shang Jingrui to us? You order, let us directly kill all his clansmen." Arrest him, and if he refuses, destroy his family."

"Good idea!"

King Yi then handed over Shang Jingrui to Zhang Dai, and then King Yi shouted to the gentry and slaves behind him: "This king allows you to arrest all the merchants and their families! Later, if Shang Zhouzuo doesn't If you are willing to abandon evil and return to righteousness, you will kill them all! All the fertile land of the Shang clan will be distributed to you, and this king will only take the money from the merchants to recruit troops!"

"His Royal Highness King Yi left the fief without authorization, intending to massacre the people and destroy the country. According to the ancestral precepts of the "Da Gao", villagers, let us tie up King Yi and hand it over to the court!"

But just after Zhang Dai rescued Shang Jingrui, Tao Chongdao, one of the gentry in eastern Zhejiang, suddenly yelled.

The children of the gentry in eastern Zhejiang suddenly pushed King Yi to the ground together.

King Yi was quite surprised: "Who are you?"

Shang Zhouzuo laughed at this moment.
