Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 418 Open the door!You have committed the crime of assisting the group practice (please subscribe!)
The gendarmes continue to use the simplest method to identify whether they are Han Chinese.

All of a sudden, a dozen Tartars who hid in the houses were pulled out and killed by the gendarmerie of Ming Dynasty.

Jiangdu is just a county town, so there are not many real Tartars in Jiangdu. Most of them are a few Second Tartars who can speak a little Manchu or the low-level Eight Banners sergeants who came to places like Jiangdu to become masters.

For the Tartars, unless they defected before the battle, they had no chance of survival.

This time the Northern Expedition, the gentry and landlords were more troublesome to deal with. If it was before, there would be no good excuse to deal with these gentry. You can’t do it just because they are in the territory of the Qing Dynasty, right?
Fortunately, Kangxi gave a good reason: group training.

Zhu Kezang had issued an imperial decree before the Northern Expedition. The gentry were people who read books and practiced etiquette, but they were so weak that they shaved their hair and changed clothes easily to become obedient citizens of the Tartars. The gentry who cleared up the regiment and training all confiscated their property, and the whole clan was sent to exile in Australia.

Oh, you said you didn’t hold group training, but according to Jinyiwei’s information, one of your tenant farmers’ family members participated in the group training of a certain landlord.

Therefore, after the execution of the Tartars, the gendarmes began a vigorous raid on their homes. As long as they provided Shi Shilun with bravery, they had to copy them. This is war, not just playing house.

In this way, it also gives a warning to the subsequent gentry, either defect early or have their homes ransacked.

It lasted until the end of Haishi, and the gendarmerie completed a preliminary count of which gentry should raid their homes and which gentry could let go.

Of course, almost [-]% of the gentry in Jiangdu City had to be stroked.

The ransacking of the house will have to wait for a while. When money is involved, the gendarmerie must act with Jin Yiwei to monitor each other.

In addition, Shi Shilun, the county magistrate, was also captured alive. As an official of the Qing Dynasty, he could not be simply beheaded, but he had to be dealt with carefully.

……

"My compatriots who were bullied by the Tartars may rest in peace!"

Guan Zhen He You spilled a glass of strong wine into the pool of blood, and couldn't help shouting: "Northern Expedition!"

"Northern Expedition!"

"Northern Expedition!"

Other officers and soldiers of the National Defense Forces also shouted together.

It is very close to Yangzhou Mansion. The massacre decades ago also affected Jiangdu County.

With grief and indignation, after more than 3000 soldiers of the National Defense Forces stood in silence for a while, Jin Yiwei also arrived at the scene.

With the preliminary statistics, the Gendarmerie and Jinyiwei began to sweep the gentry in the city.

This is a strictly hierarchical world, whether it is a commoner's mansion can be seen by looking at the lintel steps, so it is easy to sweep.

It was already dark at this time, and the Gendarmerie and Jin Yiwei lit up lanterns, armed with steel knives and muskets, and began to visit the homes of gentry who were helping the tyrants everywhere.

At this time, a squire saw the appearance of the Ming army and knelt down on his own initiative.

"If you are a scholar, then you are a famous scholar, a shameless fellow, as a scholar, you worked hard for the Qing Dynasty during the Northern Expedition of the Ming King, and today I am ordered to arrest you!"

The military police decisively dragged him away, and the servants in his mansion hurried to the back room seeing this.

"Those who are not the masters of this family need not be afraid. We are the Great Ming Army, and we are here to save the people from the fire and water. All the people who were oppressed by the squires will come forward. Some people from the court will distribute part of the property of these squires to You, the fields are also contracted and allocated to you, and they will be planted for 70 years without compensation!"

The officers and soldiers of the guards yelled a few times, and then continued to rush in. At this time, a young man came out: "You arrest my father and destroy my family business, you gangsters!"

"For the purpose of throwing away the son of the squire, and insulting the master Wang, arrest him and interrogate him!"

Jin Yiwei also started to work, and without any explanation, he shot the son on the head with the butt of his gun.

Fighting a war is not about treating guests to dinner, and not sending them to the west, it is because the Ming emperor is too kind.

Soon the family members and stewards of the squire were all taken away, and the slaves and maids who were exploited at the bottom were all put under custody, and the Jiangdu county magistrate of the future Ming Dynasty would arrange and distribute the property in a unified manner.

When the new Daming Jiangdu county magistrate arrives, the property of these gentry families will be distributed equally to these people. The village is responsible for arranging contracting to these tenant farmers.

In this way, although the gentry class who did not expect the Ming army to go north to retaliate against them wanted to make trouble, they were also unwilling to cooperate because the tenant farmers and common people at the bottom looked forward to the arrival of the king to distribute their land, which made these gentry Classes are like tigers without claws, they can only wait to be slaughtered, or they can only embark on the road of defection.

This is a policy that Zhu Kezang has long thought of. He must take advantage of the justice of the Northern Expedition to reduce the power of these gentry classes by more than half, so as to lay the foundation for the next reform of the integration of officials and gentry. In the reform of entering the motherland, the integration of officials and gentry is also indispensable.

When the time comes, it will be enforced with the power of the Northern Expedition to unify the world. Who would dare to oppose it?
These northern gentry classes are tantamount to traitors if they organize regiment training for the Qing Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty treats them harshly, no one can say anything.

Moreover, in order to prevent these northern gentry classes from uniting with the northern common people to support the Qing Dynasty even more desperately and even resort to force against the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Kezang directly distributed the benefits taken from these northern gentry classes to these common people, so that the ultimate beneficiaries were the northerners. The people at the bottom also made the gentry class somewhat rebellious but powerless.

"Live in such a good house, and there are servants and maids, who seem to be scholars. Sure enough, there are also the Four Books and Five Classics, and there is a plaque on the door hall. You are so embarrassed to recite the heaven, earth, king, relatives and teachers, and sent you to exile in Australia! "

"What? You want to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty, okay, we will fulfill you, this one will be shot and killed, and he is not eligible to be exiled to Australia!"

At that time, all the gentry and Qing army in Wuqiao County were wiped out, and all the fields and properties of these gentry and Qing army were sealed up.

"What is a real scholar, like us, when the country is ruined and the family is ruined like us, the real scholar is the one who chooses to join the army, chooses to abandon the family business and go to the national crisis, and would rather throw his head and blood than be a slave to the barbarians So right now we are arresting these gentlemen who appear to be gentlemen, but they have no integrity and no loyalty, you say, should they be arrested!"

The literacy rate of the Ming Dynasty Defense Force is very high, and many of them are considered scholars. The National Defense Force has arrested so many people today, which will more or less make some scholar soldiers feel that their actions are no different from typing and begin to doubt their own justice.

For this reason, He You will give such a speech before dinner, in order to guide the thinking of the soldiers of the National Defense Forces, and don't let them have too much psychological pressure. .

"It should be caught!"

"It should be caught!"

Seeing that all the soldiers under his command are righteous and awe-inspiring, He You nodded:

"Very well, we are the Great Ming Army, we are the masters of the king, we love the people like relatives, we don't demolish houses to death from freezing, and don't plunder to death from starvation. Now I order that tomorrow morning, except for the gendarmerie to stay in the county, the rest of the troops will continue to march northward, punish the traitors and evil gentry, and rescue the Li Shu in the north!"
