Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 855: Wealthy as a Country
The execution at Wumen lasted from 15:30 to late at night. During this period, countless knives were used and countless buckets of blood were used to wash the blood off the ground. The blood flowed along the moat and eventually into the Qinhuai River. This made countless people on both sides of the Qinhuai River dare not go to the brothels, and even the pleasure boats on the Qinhuai River disappeared.

Fang Yanwang's fame spread throughout Nanjing city in just one day.

The unpleasant odor wafting around the Meridian Gate could still be smelled even after several days had passed. During these few days, the royal guards stationed in the imperial city and the palace also underwent a major change.

Nanjing Forbidden City.

The temporary headquarters of the Western Investigation Factory.

"Just chopping off their heads is too easy for them!"

Fang Zhenghua suppressed his anger, stared at the official letter in front of him, and said through gritted teeth: "Half of the imperial guards in Nanjing are eating empty salaries. Great, this is incredible. The rest, more than half are old, weak, sick and disabled. The food and salaries allocated by the court have been pocketed by these rats."

"Please calm down, Mr. Factory."

Wang Chengen stepped forward and said, "We will make them give back what they have embezzled. As for the vacancies, we can just fill them with new soldiers from the Xiaoling Guard."

"not enough!"

Fang Zhenghua said coldly: "Select a group of new soldiers from the families of the Xiaoling Guards. The Xiaoling Guards and the upper guards must be fully staffed. The emperor's order must be implemented without compromise."

"Then let's go find Commander Mei right away."

Wang Chengen thought about it and said to Fang Zhenghua.

"Go."

Fang Zhenghua nodded and said, "Take more people away from the palace. Right now, there are so many people in Nanjing who want us to die miserably!"

"Here!"

Wang Chengen raised his hand in response.

"besides."

Fang Zhenghua thought of something, and stretched out his hand to Wang Chengen and said, "When you meet Commander Mei, ask him to send a team to take away all these eliminated weak soldiers and place them in the imperial farms around Xiaolingwei. These weak soldiers cannot be released, otherwise there will be chaos in the Nanjing area."

"Here!"

Wang Chengen responded again.

In the past few days, the people from the Western Jishichang and the Xiaoling Guard have been so busy that there has been no peace in and around Nanjing city, and all kinds of rumors have been going around.

However, after the imperial guards who were stationed in the palace and the imperial city were reorganized, Fang Zhenghua felt relieved. At least this area was safe.

Before fighting the outside world, you must first make peace with the inside.

If they want to solve the Nanjing issue, they must first solve the problems in the palace and the imperial city. Otherwise, if something really happens, Fang Zhenghua and his men will be attacked from all sides.

"Boss, the seizure of the thieves has been completed."

Not long after Wang Chengen left, Han Zanzhou came running over in a hurry, his brows showing excitement, "Fortunately, Pinglubo and Luanwei were there to spy on us, otherwise, it would be difficult to track down a lot of stolen silver and property."

"How is the investigation of the executed criminal generals of the Morakami Naoki Imperial Guard going?"

Fang Zhenghua took the booklet handed to him by Han Zanzhou, but did not rush to look through it. Instead, he looked at Han Zanzhou and said.

"We are still stepping up the interrogation and search."

Han Zanzhou frowned and said, "However, during the interrogation, we found that some of them were related to many hereditary officers and even nobles in Nanjing City. This part..."

"They are not in a hurry to catch them yet."

Fang Zhenghua interrupted and said, "First, confiscate all the stolen silver and property and make a list. At this time, it is better to let them think about it on their own than to take direct action." "Understood."

Han Zanzhou nodded.

so much!!!
At this moment, Fang Zhenghua opened the booklet and looked through it. The amount in front of him made his face change slightly, and then he looked at Han Zanzhou in disbelief.

"Are you sure these are the stolen money and property of the inner court thieves?"

Fang Zhenghua glared and asked, "Didn't you mix those criminal generals in as well?"

"determine."

Han Zanzhou said solemnly: "At first, we were also shocked when we saw these. The stolen gold alone amounted to more than 100,000 taels, and the stolen silver amounted to more than 7 million taels, and all of them were pure gold and silver!!"

"In addition, this gang of thieves has bought a lot of real estate and shops in Nanjing City. The land they own in Yingtian, Zhenjiang, and Yangzhou Prefectures totals more than two million acres, and nearly 30% of this land is government land!!"

These big rats!!!

Even though Fang Zhenghua had confiscated stolen money and property from prisoners many times when he was in the capital, including the eunuchs in power in the inner court, what was done in Nanjing still shocked him.

The value of the stolen property seized from the thieves in Nanjing Forbidden City alone was no less than 20 million taels! !
In the political arena of the Ming Dynasty, the most inconspicuous group of guys, just because they have the skin of the inner court and rely on the fact that the emperor is far away, are so greedy in Nanjing.

This was something Fang Zhenghua had not expected.

"Have you sent people to arrest the relatives of these thieves?"

Thinking of this, Fang Zhenghua suppressed his anger and looked at Han Zanzhou.

"We have sent people."

Han Zanzhou nodded and said, "But there are many who are not in Nanzhili. If we want to arrest all of them, I'm afraid..."

"Then send a driving permit!!"

Fang Zhenghua said coldly: "Tell the provincial governors to send people there. Even if the stolen money and property seized are embezzled, these evildoers must be arrested!"

"Here!"

Han Zanzhou immediately clasped his fists in response.

Fang Zhenghua can ensure that the people from the Western Investigation Factory will not be greedy during the search. After all, those who are sent to search will be subject to strict body searches. The key is that those who participate in the search will receive a reward after the search is over. For the people from the Western Investigation Factory, there is no need for them to take risks.

But when the search and seizure reaches the local level, the situation becomes difficult to predict.

But to Fang Zhenghua, these were not important. The important thing was to arrest all the relatives of these thieves one by one. God knew how many evil things they had done in their hometowns by relying on the power of these thieves.

"Also, arrange the personnel."

Thinking of this, Fang Zhenghua stretched out his hand and said, "All the confiscated stolen silver should be escorted to the inner transport warehouse. This stolen silver will be used to rectify Caojiang next."

"As for the confiscated properties and land, all of them will be registered. Once the Japanese-suppressing Joint Branch has established its foothold, we will have them send someone to take over."

"Here!"

Han Zanzhou immediately clasped his fists and said.

In order to clean up the southeast this time, Zhu Youxiao set rules from the very beginning. The confiscated stolen silver had to be registered, and the confiscated land and properties had to be placed under the jurisdiction of the imperial farms and stores. If you all want to annex land, then just annex it. I tell you to spit it out the way I tell you to annex.

In order to curb land annexation, Zhu Youxiao must revise a set of land laws based on the national conditions of the Ming Dynasty, in order to ensure both the land red line of the Ming Dynasty and the interests of the grassroots. This may be difficult, but if he does not do it, there will be nothing but difficulty.

The Ming Dynasty is in its current situation because it previously thought it was difficult and so it didn’t do it, and then as the problems piled up, so many messes emerged!
