Chapter 104 I want to see blood flow into rivers! ! ! (Ask for a monthly pass! Ask for a subscription!)
"Master, can you please..."

A skinny child was begging on the side of the road with his younger sister.

People like him, in recent days, Datong Mansion has come a lot, and more and more refugees have entered Datong Mansion, and it is difficult to find a livelihood. It's like begging on the side of the road.

However, the roadside begging business has long been monopolized by the beggar gang in the city. If these people want to beg, they must either join the beggar gang or be beaten by the beggar gang and take away all the money they ask for.

But to join the beggar gang, [-]% to [-]% of the hard-earned money has to be handed over, and the rest of the money is not enough to fill the stomach.

Even so, in order to survive, the number of beggars in Datong Mansion still increased sharply.

A carriage passed by slowly, and a man in brocade clothes opened the curtain to look at the scene in front of him, and said with emotion: "Drought everywhere, famine everywhere, the people are struggling to live, the people are struggling to survive..."

"How many families have been displaced, how many people have starved to death, I can't see these things the most."

The man showed a pitiful expression, sighed heavily, and then said to the servants at the side: "When you come back, let me know, drive away all these beggars near my Fan's house, don't keep any of them, I can't see them." To these poor people..."

The servant on the side nodded quickly: "Understood!"

The carriage left the Fan family's mansion and came to a restaurant, which is one of the most luxurious restaurants in Datong Prefecture, named Yunshuijian, the name comes from "Wild birds swim and fish letters go back and forth, this body is sent to the water and clouds" , is very poetic.

The singing and dancing in the restaurant is peaceful, many celebrities and elegant officials are drinking and chatting happily, dancers are dancing continuously on the high platform, and the maids who come and go are attentively serving, the wind blows the smell of wine and meat outside, causing the beggars gathered at the door to spit and swallow.

The beggars gathered more and more, they knelt on the ground, and lifted the broken bowls in their hands above their heads vigorously, hoping that a kind-hearted big man would give them some rewards, so that they could buy a white flour steamed bun and have a delicious meal. This is their biggest wish at the moment.

However, they hadn't waited for a big man with a kind heart, but what they were waiting for was the young servants from Shuiyunjian. They took brooms made of bamboo and vigorously drove the group of beggars away, as if they were cleaning up a bunch of garbage.

This kind of action has been repeated many times almost every day in recent days, so these restaurant servants are extremely impatient. Don't these damn beggars know how to beg in another place?It's annoying to have to gather here!
After cleaning up the beggars, the Fan family's luxurious carriage drove over, and the young servant greeted him with a smile, and welcomed Fan Yongdou into the restaurant.

In the only private room of the Tianzi brand on the fourth floor, many wealthy businessmen have already arrived and are changing glasses. Seeing Fan Yongdou approaching, the wealthy businessmen stood up, raised their glasses and said with a smile: "Brother Fan, everyone is waiting for you!" Waiting for you, you can make us wait, and we will be fined three drinks later!"

Fan Yongdou clasped his hands and said, "It's been a long time, everyone, I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting for so long, and it's necessary to fine you three glasses of wine..."

After three cups of wine, Fan Yongdou blushed slightly, and said excitedly: "This time, there is a severe drought and famine all over the country, and the price of food has risen to sky-high prices. If Brother Tian hadn't expected it, he would have informed us of a large-scale purchase at the beginning of the year Collecting grain, filling all the granaries of our eight families, and expanding hundreds of granaries, and even collecting all the grain from the official warehouses, we can't make this money at all!"

"That's right, there are changes in the sky. I dare not bet at all, but Brother Tian has no hesitation. Seeing this kind of pride, we just followed into the arena. Brother Tian is really a hero!" The wealthy businessman on the side praised.

"Brother Tian, ​​I must toast you!"

"Brother Tian, ​​I also offer you a toast!"

Tian Shenglan, who was being toasted, was blushing and said with a big smile at the moment: "Our eight families are in the same boat and work together. Naturally, we will attack and retreat together and make a fortune together. But I have agreed in advance that it is not yet time to sell grain. Time! Where is the famine? It’s not time to really make money, and the food we have worked so hard to collect must not be sold at a low price!”

"Only earning two or three times, three or four times the profit is really not enough to fit our teeth and not worth our hard-earned money. At least we need to earn more than ten or twenty times!"

Listening to Tian Shenglan's words, the other seven wealthy businessmen nodded in agreement and clapped their hands. This famine is a great opportunity for them to make money. Whether the family's influence can go further depends on this year!
At this time, Fan Yongdou said with a smile: "Brother Tian made everyone rich, and I also tell you a good news!"

As soon as the words came out, everyone else looked over.

"Appreciate further details!"

Fan Yongdou glanced at the maids at the side, drove them all out, and then said in a low voice: "Everyone, I have already established a line with Houjin. Their Jianguo Dajin was established a few years ago. The leader, Nurhachi, said in the city of Hetuala that "the great gold has nurtured the wise Khan of all countries", and Jianyuan Tianming."

"On September [-]st of the previous year, Huang Taiji, who was the Khan, burned incense to proclaim to the heavens, announcing that the next year would be the first year of Tiancong. We are now the first year of Chongzhen, and they have already been in the second year of Tiancong."

"That Huang Taiji, wise and powerful, with an extraordinary bearing, is definitely not something in the pool. I met him once last year, and it was a shock..."

"Do you know what I saw then?"

Tian Shenglan on the side quickly asked: "What did you see?"

"I saw a real dragon!" Fan Yongdou said.

"Real dragon?!"

"what do you mean……"

"This great energy..."

Fan Yongdou said earnestly: "When I saw the moment of Huang Taiji, I concluded that his future achievements are limitless. Now that the Great Ming Dynasty is declining, if we can have a new master and have the merits of a dragon, then we can achieve true glory. !"

As soon as these words came out, the others were not afraid, but their eyes were full of greed. Their hearts were moved, and their hearts were greatly moved.

"Brother Fan is right. We have to worry about selling food, and we can't make much money at all. But if we support a new master and have the merits of following the dragon... the future is really limitless!" Tian Shenglan nodded emphatically. .

So many years have passed since the Ming Dynasty, and many people still miss the former dynasty.

Especially a group of businessmen like them dreamed of returning to the Great Yuan Dynasty.

The Yuan Dynasty was an era of freedom.

Although the Yuan Dynasty divided people into four classes.

But in fact, the lowest class of Han people, among these people, the wealthy merchants and the landlord class are the most enjoyable group of people. Throughout the dynasties, there is almost no period when they live better than them.

Although the political status is low on the surface, the Yuan Dynasty was ruled by the Mongols, but the real social power is in the hands of these people. To put it bluntly, the upper-class people like the Mongolian nobles only need to be responsible for spending time and money. It feels a bit like separation of sovereignty and governance. .

The Yuan Dynasty adopted a grazing policy. As long as you gave them enough money, they would not care about anything. This allowed many Han Chinese landlords and aristocratic families to completely let themselves go, which is called doing whatever they want.

This is the so-called "Yuan Yi Kuan lost the world".

Not only were the landlords and tyrants laissez-faire, but many Yuan operas satirized the Yuan Dynasty. Why were the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty so tolerant to them?The reason is very simple. They speak Mongolian, eat mutton, drink yogurt, and they don’t even want to touch Han culture, so why don’t you compose satire?
Later, when the Ming Dynasty was established, this group of landlords, gentry and aristocrats did not have such a good life.

Therefore, there have always been many people who have the idea of ​​anti-Ming and restoration. Even after so many years, there are still many businessmen and gentry and wealthy families who have this idea.

At this moment when Fan Yongdou uttered these outrageous words, the others did not turn pale with shock, nor did they panic. Instead, they were full of greed and expectation. This is the reason, everyone had such thoughts before!
They are very dissatisfied with their status and the restrictions they are subject to!

Why should merchants be restricted everywhere?Why!
Under the leadership of Fan Yongdou, they began to plot to sponsor Huang Taiji's various supplies, food, weapons, armor, and cannons.

In return, Huang Taiji had already made a promise to give them the looted gold and silver.

These gold and silver were of no use to Huang Taiji if they could not be exchanged for various materials.

Even gold and silver, the natural currency and hard currency, are no different from stones in the absence of economic trade. What Huang Taiji lacks is not money, but food, weapons, and cannons!

……

at the same time.

After Su Che left the capital, he felt as if the sea was wide enough for a fish to leap, and the sky was high for a bird to fly.

These ten thousand elite soldiers are moving forward in an orderly manner.

Everyone holds their own weapons and is always in their own camp, without any confusion.

Occasionally, the route changes, and the chariot team, cavalry team, artillery team, and infantry team change their formations, and return to the previous queue soon after.

Just from the point of marching, any general with eyesight can tell at a glance that this is a rare and powerful army in the world!
Since taking office, Su Che has eaten and slept with them, practiced repeatedly, formed various formations, and even used the "military formation series" that has been lost in this era.

When an army lacks no equipment or food, the only thing they lack is belief, the belief that they can die for it.

After such a long period of time, apart from practicing, what I do most often is all kinds of ideological work.

The appearance of Su Che is like a ray of light in their lives. Since ancient times, it has been an old tradition for a scholar to die for his confidant.

The emperor appreciates them so much, eats and lives with them, and often explains some simple truths to them, telling them why he is fighting, and these soldiers will naturally serve the country with their deaths.

Originally, Su Che was in a good mood when he was running fast and marching continuously, but gradually, after the army left the capital, his mood couldn't get any better.

On both sides of the road, there are mostly refugees fleeing famine. This group of people is skinny and their clothes are torn. It looks like they haven't eaten for many days.

This group of refugees fleeing famine, like walking dead, was stimulated by their own desire to survive, and moved forward mechanically. When they saw the army, they subconsciously moved away.

Since ancient times, bandits have passed like a comb, and soldiers have passed like a grate.

The grate is a comb with a denser ratio, which can be specially used to remove fleas.

The meaning of this sentence is self-evident.

Su Che looked at this group of numb refugees, and said to the deputy on the side: "Send a message, tell them, follow us, go to Datong Mansion, there will be a warehouse open for food, and there will be relief porridge to drink."

The deputy hurriedly lowered his head and replied, "Yes!"

Not long after, the news was spread, and this group of almost desperate refugees suddenly had hope, and one by one began to follow the soldiers from a distance.

The words are divided into two parts.

In the capital, since Su Che, the Chongzhen Emperor, came to power, he left all affairs to Wei Zhongxian regardless of the government, and the group of Qingliu from the Donglin Party gave the new emperor the nickname "Soldier Emperor" ", just like Emperor Tianqi's "Carpenter Emperor".

These important court officials are all numb, why is the emperor more unreliable than the other?
After finally killing Emperor Tianqi, why is the new emperor still like this?
Can this Daming country still recover?
That being the case, they can only continue to kill the Chongzhen Emperor, and then support a foreign king to be the emperor.

Of course, it is impossible to say these outrageous words openly, and they can only be hidden in the deepest, most dirty corners of the heart.

That damn eunuch, instead of collecting taxes from those ordinary people, instead stares at them, the virtuous and loyal officials of the imperial court, to collect taxes. Various means emerge in endlessly, making them unable to evade taxes.

They have to take some measures. If this continues, the country will be ruined!
After the apocalypse, Chongzhen came again, is this over yet?
This group of important officials of the court, very tacitly began to collude again, trying to create an accident again, so that the emperor who did not agree with them "falls into the water" and dies. Anyway, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is easily soluble in water, and he died more than once. One or two, and one more is fine.

However, just when they started to prepare for this and were about to put it into action, a piece of news came long overdue.

Emperor Chongzhen left the capital with [-] soldiers and horses, and he didn't know where he went...

After hearing the news, the group of court ministers were all stunned, unable to believe the authenticity of the news—why did the emperor run away? !
They have all prepared the plan and the bureau, and they are waiting for the emperor to fall into the water, but what about the emperor?
After their repeated confirmations, it was really confirmed that it was not a rumor, but the real situation. The emperor left the capital with 1 people and ran away!
If it was in the past, they would have received the news as soon as the emperor ran away and made corresponding preparations.

However, with Wei Zhongxian's growing power and the support of Emperor Chongzhen, he became more and more unscrupulous, and more and more people took refuge in him. His power was even worse than before.

So they didn't receive the belated news until the emperor had already run away, and it was obviously too late to stop the emperor from leaving.

The emperor left the capital, and such a big event happened, the group of court officials were immediately paralyzed, they didn't know what the damn Emperor Chongzhen was going to do?
Is this going hunting?
Or go to fight the barbarians?

Simply bullshit!
Simply ridiculous!
Since ancient times, there have been so many emperors, but such an absurd emperor has never appeared!

Now that the world is in a wilderness, at such a critical moment, the emperor has left the capital without doing anything!
This group of important court officials yelled at each other, and finally managed to make a good game, just waiting for the main character to be in trouble, but the main character actually ran away?

However, when they understood the cause and effect of the matter, they changed their attitude again.

Although the emperor's departure was not good, it was a good thing that he took away an army of 1 horses!

The army taken away by the emperor is the absolute main force of the eunuch Wei Zhongxian who controls the army, and it is also the force that the officials are most afraid of.

They have always been afraid of this power.

But now, the eunuch Wei Zhongxian has no such power, they can also take advantage of the situation to counterattack, and have a good show on the side of the Qing emperor to punish the chief evil!
This group of people did not expect such a good opportunity to appear, this is God's help!
So ever.

Not only the Donglin Party, but also the Qin Party (from Shaanxi), the Jin Party (from Shanxi), the Xijiang Party (from Jiangxi), the Chu Party (from Huguang), and the major parties among the court ministers all have a tacit understanding at this moment. Together, the goal is very accurate, that is, on the side of the Qing emperor, to kill the eunuchs!

It is not an exaggeration to say that it was a coup d'état.

The capital of this day.

Extra chill.

On both sides of the street, all the residents' doors and windows were closed tightly, hiding in the house and shivering, and from time to time they could hear miserable cries from outside.

The eunuchs and the armies of the court officials fought each other, and blood flowed like rivers for a while.

Yuan Chonghuan was wearing armor, fighting frantically, staring at everyone for a while, his armor was completely stained red with blood.

As the situation of the battle gradually became clear, he raised his long sword and roared angrily: "Put down the leader of the eunuch party, and the rest will wait, and those who surrender will not be killed!"

His voice was deafening, and the soldiers under his command shouted:

"The descendants don't kill!!"

"The descendant will not be killed!!!"

Not long after, the army of the eunuch party was quickly wiped out, and the troops of the important court officials quickly occupied various positions in the capital, and the speed of the fall was unexpectedly fast. The eunuch party was not monolithic, and there were also various disputes. Few, seeing that the situation is not good, surrender directly.

In addition, because the eunuch party is powerful, they act unscrupulously, and there are also many dissatisfied people. This is not the accumulation of resentment in a day or two.

When the important officials of the imperial court were united like never before, the power that erupted was terrifying. In just one day, they almost controlled the entire capital city - except for the imperial palace.

Wei Zhongxian never dreamed that he passed the barrier of Emperor Chongzhen and continued to enjoy the power, but after the emperor left, the group of court ministers counterattacked so quickly!

Previously, in his opinion, this group of civil servants were soft bones, and there was nothing to fear at all. As long as Emperor Chongzhen trusted him, he would still be inferior to one person, but superior to tens of thousands!
But in a blink of an eye, all parts of the capital fell!
This group of important officials of the imperial court, Zhongliang of the imperial court, actually had the courage to rebel! ! !

Inside the palace, Wei Zhongxian organized the remaining troops to defend the palace and refuse to come out.

Wei Zhongxian personally came to the city gate and patrolled back and forth. Seeing that the morale of the palace guards was low and the morale of the army was low, he became anxious.

He shouted in a sharp voice: "This group of rebels will not be able to attack for a while. We just need to wait until His Majesty returns to the capital, and all these rebels will be crowned!"

"I just need to stay here and wait for His Majesty to come back!"

"Your Majesty's [-] forbidden troops, who ordered and prohibited them, swept away this group of rebels, it's easy to catch them!"

Wei Zhongxian personally encouraged the soldiers, but the effect was not obvious.

At this moment, of the dozen or so messengers under Wei Zhongxian's command, only one was left out of the encirclement. It was a desperate effort to deliver the news to Su Che. After all, in Wei Zhongxian's view, the emperor was his only way to turn things around!
As long as Su Che returns to the capital with this [-]-strong army, plus the emperor's righteousness and fame, everything will be back on track!
But such an idea is obviously too naive...

The important officials of the imperial court could not bear with the eunuchs long ago, because of the eunuchs, they were unprecedentedly united, and their own party disputes were put aside. This matter really cannot be easily resolved by Su Che when he goes back.

And Su Che didn't plan to go back.

outside the capital.

As Su Che's army advances, more and more refugees follow behind him. There are hundreds of thousands of them. At a glance, they are densely packed and countless!
Not long after, a young eunuch rushed on his horse and finally caught up with the large army. He delivered the letter to Su Che.

This eunuch Su Che was very familiar, and he played an important role in Chongzhen's memory. It was Wang Chengen.

It is said that when Emperor Chongzhen was young, he stumbled and fell into a pond.

The little eunuch beside him panicked and yelled after seeing it, but no one dared to rush into the water to save the prince.

Only Wang Chengen, seeing the little prince fell into the water, jumped into the water and tried his best to protect the little master.

After the little prince was rescued, he developed a good impression of this brave eunuch and became very close to him from then on.

After the little prince grew up, he successfully inherited the throne and became the emperor, and he also became one of the celebrities around the emperor.

"Wang Cheng'en? Why are you here?" Su Che asked strangely without opening the letter.

"My lord, the sky is falling...! Just as you left, something happened in the back of the capital. Those court officials colluded with the army in the capital and said that they wanted to be on the side of the Qing emperor. Now they have controlled all the key points in the capital. At present, there are only a few places in the imperial palace." It hasn't fallen yet, Master Wei is leading troops to defend the palace, he hopes you can go back and preside over the overall situation!" Wang Chengen had a clear idea and quickly outlined the matter.

Su Che also opened the letter casually. This letter was written by Wei Zhongxian himself. It described the current situation in detail and urged Su Che to come back and take charge of the overall situation. Otherwise, once the palace falls, the capital will be completely lost. If you want to go back, it will be difficult to go back.

This is a fact.

Once the capital is completely controlled by the rebels, even if Su Che goes back, these ministers probably won't let him go!

Su Che looked at the letter, shook his head, and tore it up casually.

Wang Chengen on the side asked cautiously: "What is the emperor's plan?"

Su Che glanced at him, said with a smile: "If they want the capital, I'll give it to them. Anyway, I don't care too much."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Chengen's eyes widened, and he said in astonishment: "You...you don't want the capital anymore?"

Su Che nodded, and said casually: "Since you have followed, don't go back. Even if you go back, you will be dead. Follow me. We will reach our destination soon."

"Destination?" Wang Chengen raised his head subconsciously, and glanced at the direction of the army's advance. Not far away was a city, which was the boundary of Shanxi Datong Mansion.

Su Che's idea is very simple - all tactical changers!

If these ministers wanted the capital, they would give it to them. The world of Ming Dynasty is definitely not represented by a capital city, which can be represented by an imperial palace.

In the final analysis, Su Che is the legal emperor of the Ming Dynasty. So what if this group of court officials controlled the entire capital in the name of the Qing emperor?Can they establish another emperor?That would be really outrageous!

In the final analysis, as long as Su Che, the legal emperor, survives, they can only wait for Su Che to return to the capital before doing other things.

And Su Che also started to steal chickens, starting from Shanxi first!
With 1 horses and hundreds of thousands of refugees, this big scene scared the prefect of Datong Prefecture in Shanxi to think that bandits had entered the country and swept the whole world.

Not long after, when the magistrate heard that it was Emperor Chongzhen who was coming, everyone was dumbfounded. Did the emperor bring the refugees over?
This made the magistrate of Datong Mansion unable to believe it at all, and at the same time, the acting king Zhu Chuan of Datong was also alarmed.

This name is very strange, but it is also the tradition of the old Zhu family. Various creations of characters have made great contributions to the periodic table of elements. Later generations really don’t know what this word is called, so they named him Zhu Chuanhuoqi Four-letter name.

On the gate of Yonghe, the magistrate of Datong Prefecture received a letter from the emperor, asking him to quickly open the city gate and put everything in Datong Prefecture under military control. The city gate was opened, and then it was taken down.

The magistrate of Datong Mansion was immediately placed under house arrest, awaiting interrogation. In addition, all officers and soldiers in Datong Mansion were under the control of Su Che. Once the military power was seized, the political power was seized. In this way, Datong Mansion was basically under Su Che's control.

But Su Che was not satisfied, he directly ordered all the governors and chief envoys of Shanxi to visit him.

Governor, from the second rank, if you add the title of Minister of the Ministry of War to the second rank, you will govern a province's military affairs plus civil affairs, generally focusing on military affairs.

The chief envoy, from the second rank, is theoretically on the same level as the governor but slightly lower in rank, and has jurisdiction over the civil affairs of a province.

Let these two people come over directly to pay a visit. If they dare not come, it is disobedience and rebellion. Then Su Che's next move will be justified.

If they really came, then their ending would be the same as that of the magistrate of Datong. They would be under house arrest beside Su Che, and they would never be able to issue any orders.

This is an upright conspiracy!
After completing these steps, Su Che gave the order:
"Open warehouses, release food, and rescue victims."

Su Che said this lightly, as if it was a matter of course, but the Tongzhi and Tongju of Datong Mansion felt their scalps go numb.

Fellow Zhi Yuan Shiheng bit the bullet and said:

"Your Majesty, there is not much food in the official warehouse of Datong Mansion..."

"Opening warehouses and releasing food at this time simply can't satisfy so many refugees..."

"Your Majesty, please think twice."

Su Che glanced at him, then asked with a smile, "Could it be that there isn't even a single grain of rice left in the market?"

Yuan Shiheng, the prefect, bit the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, that's exactly the case! There is a severe drought everywhere, and there are natural disasters everywhere. There is almost no food on the market. We also have a headache, but there is no way to do it. If you want to open a warehouse Food is not enough, even if you want to buy food, you can't buy it..."

As soon as these words came out, Su Che smiled faintly: "Are you fooling me like a child?"

"I dare not!" Tongzhi Yuan Shiheng quickly knelt down on the ground, kowtowed his head like garlic, and kowtowed for a while, he said in fear: "But this is the truth, Your Majesty, I dare not hide it from Your Majesty. There is no way to wait!"

The judge beside him, Bao Ang, also quickly knelt down on the ground, not daring to vent his anger.

"Since you want to die, then you should die." Su Che said lightly, "Delay and kill."

As soon as these words came out, soldiers immediately dragged Yuan Shiheng down.

Yuan Shiheng's eyes widened. He couldn't believe that the emperor was about to kill him, and was dragged away. His eyes were full of fear, and he couldn't help shouting: "Your Majesty, you can't kill loyal ministers like this. You can't listen to the words of treacherous ministers and kill loyal ministers by mistake..."

"The loyal minister is the pillar of the country. If you kill innocent people like this, the country will be ruined, and the world will be in chaos!"

"Your Majesty, allow me to say one more sentence!"

Su Che waved his hand, and Yuan Shiheng was brought back again.

"What do you have to say? Tell me."

"Your Majesty, loyal ministers are not afraid of death, so they can establish the great affairs of the world. Warriors don't care about life, so they can become famous in the world. The monks are completely free from life and death, and they are not afraid of danger, so they can set up the outline of the Buddha." This Yuan Shiheng stood up, He said righteously: "I am not afraid of death, but I just don't want your Majesty to be deceived by treacherous ministers, listen to some gossip, and kill loyalty indiscriminately. It is not the lives of the ministers who are harmed. The minister is just dead, but the reputation of the king is affected by it." , This is something I absolutely don't want to see."

Su Che stopped talking, nodded and said: "You are right, since you said so, then I will spare your life..."

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Shiheng was overjoyed, but before he had time to be happy, Su Che continued to say: "Just wait until I check the granaries in Datong Mansion. The merchants deliberately hoarded food and did not sell it, deliberately raised prices, and ate human blood steamed buns..."

"At that time, you will definitely not be the only one who will be killed. All three families of your family will be executed, and no one will be left behind."

"Of course, if you are really wrong, then I will give you an official title."

"What do you think?" Su Che asked with a smile, "Isn't this fair?"

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Shiheng was sweating profusely, his body was like sifting chaff, and he almost fell to the ground. He hesitated for a long time but couldn't speak. Go ahead and check..."

"Is that how you see it too?" Su Che suddenly asked.

This question was not about Yuan Shiheng, but about the general judge Bao Ang who was kneeling on the ground beside him.

Hearing the emperor questioning himself, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back, and goosebumps rose instantly.

The judge Bao Ang quickly kowtowed and said, "I don't think so!"

"Oh?" Su Che regained his energy, raised his eyebrows, and asked with a smile: "Then tell me, what's going on?"

Yuan Shiheng on the side immediately widened his eyes when he heard what Bao Ang said, and he said angrily, "Bao Tongju, don't talk nonsense and deceive your majesty!!!"

The judge, Bao Ang, gave him a cold look, and said calmly, "It's probably not me who deceived your majesty, but you, Mr. Yuan."

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Shiheng felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his body was cold, his eyes were full of despair, he stammered and said: "You...you...you framed your colleagues, you will die a bad life, you !"

The judge Bao Ang ignored Yuan Shiheng, and only took his words as a deaf ear. He said seriously: "Your Majesty, I want to report this Yuan Shiheng and the prefect Hou Chong. , resulting in no food in the official warehouse, and it is impossible to release food at a par price!"

"On top of that, those grain merchants are intensifying. They only take out a little grain every day and sell it in limited quantities, which causes the price of grain to rise day by day, but they still don't sell the grain in their warehouses. This is to make a lot of money by taking advantage of this disaster!"

"Yuan Shiheng and the magistrate Hou Chong are aware of this matter, but they accepted bribes and did not take any action at all. Instead, they became the parasols of these businessmen, sheltering them from wind and rain, and even sent officers and soldiers to guard those granaries!"

"Those officials in the granary know where they are, and they have secretly recorded them in the book. If Your Majesty wants to investigate strictly, this book is enough for His Majesty to investigate!"

Saying this, Bao Ang took out a booklet from his pocket, and handed it up respectfully.

Yuan Shiheng on the side was extremely desperate when he heard Bao Ang's words. He said viciously: "Your Majesty, Bao Ang is a man with ulterior motives. He obviously knows this. He also accepted bribes and took the benefits of those businessmen. , he is also involved in this matter!"

But Bao Ang said calmly: "If I don't accept those benefits, will you and the magistrate let me go? I don't agree with others, can I gain a foothold in this Datong mansion? What's the point of you talking about it now?"

Su Che flipped through the pamphlet presented by Bao Ang, which described in detail the operations of Shanxi merchants, the bribes they received, the location of the granary, and the grain purchased from the official granary. out.

Every number is countless human lives, and this number is really frightening.

After reading it quickly, Su Che raised his head, looked at the two of them again, and said indifferently: "My fellow acquaintance Yuan Shiheng, dismissed from his position, ransacked his home and executed him, from the barbarians."

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Shiheng, the fellow prefect who was still able to speak a few words just now, was paralyzed, lost all his strength, and could not speak a word.

Su Che glanced at Bao Ang next to him again, and said calmly: "Bao Ang is the judge, and he is temporarily serving as the acting magistrate of Datong Prefecture."

As soon as the appointment was announced, Bao Ang's face instantly flushed. Holding back the ecstasy in his heart, he immediately fell to his knees and shouted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En! I am willing to do anything for Your Majesty!"

"Now you send people to copy all the granaries listed in these books, and then open the granaries to release grain." Su Che continued: "In addition, organize people and open thousands of relief porridge sheds to help the victims who came from afar."

"I understand!" Bao Ang had just handed in the nomination certificate, now he had no choice but to follow Su Che all the way to Hei, and there was no turning back, so he accepted the order without hesitation.

Su Che was not worried about the resistance of those aristocratic families.

The reason is simple. Since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, most of the aristocratic families have almost died. Huang Chao and Zhu Wen killed a lot of people, and the aristocratic families have disappeared since then.

As for those landlords with hundreds of hectares of land in their families, and those businessmen with clear hands and eyes, those gentry and wealthy families with ten Jinshi?

Even if they are a family of scholars who need to rely on examinations to be selected as small officials of the sixth and seventh ranks, they are also worthy of being a powerful family?

In the entire Ming Dynasty, there are only two families that are qualified to be called aristocratic families. One is the Confucian family in Qufu, and the other is the Zhang family in Longhushan.

As for those gentry and aristocrats who rely on reading, they are not considered aristocratic families. After all, they don’t have tens of thousands of soldiers, and they don’t have a dock that can withstand the officers and soldiers. Just this group of insects still want to use their arms as carts and stop the rolling wheel of history?
It's ridiculous!

By the way, the Shuiyunjian restaurant in Datong Mansion was also seized. In the year of the catastrophe, there were singing and dancing here, and there was a lot of fish and meat. scramble.

In order to prevent the beggars from scrambling and making a mess, Shui Yunjian simply fed the leftovers to pigs and dogs, and did not distribute them to the beggars.

After raiding the Shuiyunjian Restaurant, Su Che accidentally got the news that the bosses of the eight major merchants of Shanxi Merchants were all gathering here.

The names of the eight major Shanxi merchant owners are Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Wang Dayu, Liang Jiabin, Tian Shenglan, Zhai Tang, and Huang Yunfa.

They heard that Emperor Chongzhen came to Datong Mansion in person because of the disaster, and they expressed their heartfeltness one by one, offering all the grain in their warehouses, and also several million silver taels to set an example for this disaster.

When Su Che heard the names of these people, he felt a little familiar, as if he had heard them somewhere... Think carefully, isn't it the eight businessmen who kept funding the Qing Dynasty?

Long before the Qing army entered the customs, they often traveled back and forth inside and outside the customs to provide various smuggling funds. Even though the imperial court conducted various investigations, they still had their own smuggling routes.

They continued to support all kinds of materials, ranging from grain, salt, tea, to weapons and cannons. In addition to various military supplies, they also provided various intelligence in the customs, and informed the Qing army of all the conditions of the Ming army. .

As the Qing army entered the customs, Huang Taiji's son, Aixinjueluo Fulin, also known as Emperor Shunzhi, naturally did not forget that the eight great masters who had made great achievements in the Central Plains for himself held a banquet in the side hall of the Forbidden City and summoned them in person and gave them garments.

At the banquet, Shunzhi wanted to confer titles and honors on them, the Eight Great Families were flattered and tried their best to decline.

Therefore, Shunzhi named them "Imperial Merchants" (registered under the Ministry of Internal Affairs).

Fan Yongdou was ordered to preside over commercial affairs and "gift Zhangjiakou as a world business".

The remaining seven families also have their own rewards.

To put it nicely, they are political speculators, but to put it bluntly, they are pure traitors.

After hearing these names, Su Che said to Bao Ang, acting magistrate with no expression on his face: "I don't need to see the people from these eight families anymore. I know what they want. If that's the case, I will confiscate all the houses of the eight families." Let's check to see if they have any other problems."

As soon as these words came out, Bao Ang was a little dumbfounded, but he didn't ask any more questions, and bowed his head.

Fan family.

The servants of the Fan family are driving away all the beggars near the Fan family according to the owner's wishes. The owner is kind and does not want to see these beggars!
A thin boy kicked hard and fell to the ground. The servant said viciously, "Get out of here! Do you really think I'm joking?"

The kick was too strong, and the boy almost passed out. His skinny sister immediately threw herself on the boy's body: "Wuuu, don't hit my brother! Don't hit my brother!"

"Tell you to get out, just get out!" The servant of the Fan family said arrogantly, raising his foot and preparing to kick him hard again.

The girl defended her brother tightly, but before the foot landed, the servant was directly kicked to the ground by one person.

"Ouch!"

The servant of the Fan family fell to the ground, screamed in pain, and immediately cursed: "Damn, do you know who I am? I am from the Fan family. Do you know what the Fan family's status is in Datong Mansion? How dare you kick you?" Young master me!"

When he raised his head cursingly, he was surprised to find that there was a group of officers and soldiers in front of him. The leader was a young soldier in armor, and it was this soldier who kicked him just now.

"You military lord, these officials, what are you doing?" The servant of the Fan family changed his complexion instantly, and asked in a fawning manner.

"Are you from the Fan family?" This soldier was called Lu Sheng, and he was a pawn in Su Che's [-] forbidden army.

Originally, he was just an ordinary soldier without any ideals or ambitions. He only knew how to eat and wait to die every day.

However, all this changed with the appearance of Su Che.

During those few months, Su Che practiced with them. Apart from better food and treatment, Su Che told them many truths every day.

Different from the big truths of those teachers, Su Che's truths are simple and easy to understand.

Sometimes Su Che told them some stories.

Some possible future stories.

For example, the famous "Ten Days in Yangzhou" and "Three Massacres in Jiading".

For example, the massacre in Kunshan, and the massacre in Jiaxing Uprising.

In addition, there is also the story of the Jiangyin Uprising, the city was massacred after the city was broken, and only 53 people in the city survived.

A city was killed and only 53 people remained.

What does this feel like?

Just thinking about it makes me shudder.

As a product of ancient wars, massacres have always existed.

Such a massacre caused by the invasion of foreign races naturally does not have any psychological burden, and the word 'kill' is enough!
Everyone, whether they are soldiers, civilians, or officials, there is no difference, they are all killed, and there is no one left.

This is the cruelty of war, especially in ancient wars.

There are many, many examples like this, which are simply countless and dense.

The death toll is more than 10 people, millions of people?That is a shocker!
Every time Su Che told these stories, the soldiers whose conscience he had awakened would be filled with righteous indignation, wishing to sacrifice their lives for the country and the common people!

During the days when he lived in the military camp, Su Che felt as if he had returned to the days when he was a great virtuous teacher. The most frequent sentence he said was:

"Why the hell?"

How innocent are the common people!

It was also during those days that an ordinary soldier, Lu Sheng, became jealous. His eyes were wide open at this moment, and he asked word by word: "Are you a servant of the Fan family?"

"I... I am." The servant of the Fan family said weakly.

"That's good!" After saying that, Lu Sheng drew his knife directly, and the next moment, the head of the servant of the Fan family rolled to the ground, and blood gushed out, all spilling on the ground.

This scene stunned the passers-by, and the officers and soldiers behind Lu Sheng were also stunned. This military master is very murderous!
In the next second, Lu Sheng raised his blood-stained knife and ordered loudly: "Surround this Fan family, I don't want to see a bird fly out!!"

Seeing this scene, the two brothers and sisters on the ground trembled and did not dare to speak.

However, Lu Sheng ignored them and directly killed the Fan family.

Seeing this scene, the thin boy showed a look of envy, and he couldn't help but sigh: "A man should be like this!"

After surrounding the entire Fan family.

Of course, Lu Sheng did not forget his mission of coming here. He immediately searched the evidence of the Fan family's crimes. He was really capable of arresting all members of the Fan family and interrogating them one by one.

Every time during the interrogation, he would say: "The person in front is called Fan Chengyuan, right? He has already explained almost everything, so you should explain it too. If there is any discrepancy between what you explained and him, you have to be careful with your own head." Already!"

"Your Fan family has committed a major crime! Do you still need me to say it? Hurry up and explain it!"

This is a very simple prisoner's dilemma. The members of the Fan family were locked up individually, without knowing what the others had confessed.

After a while, everything about Jin after the Fan family colluded was revealed.

Then Lu Sheng collected the evidence of the Fan family's collusion, gathered witnesses and material evidence, and the Fan family indeed colluded with foreigners!
When he saw the evidence and remembered the stories the emperor had told them, Lu Sheng wished he could kill all the Fan family, leaving no one left!He wants to see blood flow into rivers!
But he still endured it. Although he had the pleasure of killing for a while, this group of people didn't get the justice they deserved!

Lu Sheng believes that His Majesty will give this group of people the ending they deserve!

Afterwards, Lu Sheng imprisoned all the members of the Fan family, and handed over the evidence to Su Che.

It was done beautifully.

After Su Che glanced at the evidence, he directly ordered the entire Fan family to be tried, including hundreds of members. After the trial, all of them were beheaded for public display, and Lu Sheng was promoted to the rank of Hundred Households.

Su Che sent a lot of capable young people like Lu Sheng, he needs to promote some fresh blood!
None of the other seven merchants can escape, they all have to die!
In addition, other grain merchants in Datong Mansion, who deliberately did not sell grain, were all arrested, and thousands of people were implicated!
Because of the lack of executioners, after all, beheading and killing people pay attention to the fact that the head falls to the ground, and there are not many people who have this skill.

It's not good for Su Che to let his own army be the executioner, that's not what they do.

After thinking for a while, Su Che, in order to show the greatness of the emperor's favor, left the whole body of this group of people, let them hang to death, and executed them by hanging!
Hang them all!

This saves a lot of trouble!

In front of the busiest Wenchang Temple in Datong Prefecture, hundreds of thousands of spectators surrounded the place. Every time a crime was pronounced, the crowd cheered. Some of these people were locals of Datong Prefecture, and more It is a person who wandered all the way.

……

In the world of heroes.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's palace.

Zhu Youjian felt all kinds of things in the picture of the way of heaven, and his face became very exciting for a while, because he hanged himself to death, and now this Su Che actually sentenced these people to hang to death...

The scene in front of him was very exciting, not only one person hanged himself, but hundreds of thousands of people were hanged to death continuously!

"How to stop? Tell us quickly, how to judge these people!" Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly urged, like an audience eating sunflower seeds watching the excitement, "What is your expression? Tell me!"

Zhu Youjian: "..."

He is really wronged! ! !
