Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 861 Make a decision!
"What a good thing!"

"It's the Brave Guard Battalion!?"

"By doing this, isn't the emperor afraid of changes in Nanzhili?"

There were many people scattered on the deck of the pleasure boat sailing upstream on the Qinhuai River. The Yongwei Battalion, which had been dormant for a long time, was startled by the noise made.

No one expected that Fang Zhenghua would bring not only people from the Western Investigation Bureau to Nanjing, but also people from the Yongwei Battalion!

The nobles who stayed in Nanjing and the civil and military officials who stayed in Beijing were well aware of the various situations in the capital. After all, driven by absolute interests, the connection between the north and the south of the Ming Dynasty was very close.

It’s just that this kind of connection does not exist officially, but in private.

"Mr. Fang, how did the Yongwei Battalion enter Nanjing?" At that time, in the elegant hall inside the painted boat, Su Maoxiang suppressed his suspicion and looked at Fang Zhenghua.

"There are many spies inside and outside Nanjing. If there is any disturbance, the people in Nanjing will definitely know it immediately, but..."

As he spoke, Su Maoxiang paused. He saw Fang Zhenghua and Wang Chengen looking at each other and both of them smiled faintly. It was obvious that all this was planned.

"Su Xierong, do you know who the soldiers of the Yongwei Camp, which is the emperor's personal army, are recruited?" Fang Zhenghua lifted his sleeves and looked at Su Maoxiang.

"know."

Su Maoxiang nodded and said, "He is a war orphan."

"Yes."

Fang Zhenghua said solemnly, "Before the Emperor issued an edict to gather these poor people together, did Su Xierong know what kind of life they were living?"

Su Maoxiang was silent.

"Beggars, shepherds, refugees, street performers..."

Fang Zhenghua was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice: "In the eyes of those so-called noble people, these poor people do all kinds of mean things just to survive. In the eyes of some people, they are not even considered human beings."

Understood!
Su Maoxiang opened his eyes slightly, and immediately knew how this emperor's personal army had entered Nanjing city quietly, but Su Maoxiang was still shocked in his heart.

Such a large group of brave guards used various methods to successfully sneak into Nanjing City, and the Nanjing defenders in charge of the internal and external gates did not even notice it.

Fortunately, it was Yong Weilang. If it was the rebels who sneaked into Nanjing City, the consequences would be disastrous!

In addition, Su Maoxiang was even more shocked that the brave guard who followed Fang Zhenghua to the south was able to sneak into Nanjing City so carefully without anyone noticing anything unusual. This was not an easy task.

You have to know that Yong Weilang is just an adult at most. What they are doing now is not something they should do at their age, but they did it anyway.

"Boss, do we want to arrest those people who controlled Jiang?" In this atmosphere, Wang Chengen glanced at the shocked Su Maoxiang and asked Fang Zhenghua.

"Grasp!"

Fang Zhenghua snorted coldly, "They are so dirty, they dare to do anything except doing human work. Why keep them? Arrest them all!"

"Also, tell Xu Hongji and the others that if they want to leave this pleasure boat, they can. Tell them to write a letter and ask them to gather their family soldiers at Zhengyang Gate and Xiaoling Guard. Don't play any tricks on us. Everyone in Nanjing City and the villages outside Nanjing City should gather together. Otherwise, we will accompany them to cruise along the Qinhuai River. Don't you like the Qinhuai River? Great! At worst, we can keep swimming along it!!"

"Here!"

Wang Chengen stood up and responded, then under Su Maoxiang's shocked gaze, Wang Chengen turned and left.

It turned out to be the case.

Su Maoxiang understood at this moment that the so-called rectification of Caojiang was just a cover. No, to be more precise, while rectifying Caojiang, Fang Zhenghua also wanted to take complete control of the city of Nanjing.

All gates inside and outside Nanjing were under control.

All the family soldiers of the nobles who stayed in Nanjing gathered together. Including the palace and the imperial city that were previously under control, and the several gates that were controlled, Su Maoxiang really couldn't imagine who could pose a threat to Fang Zhenghua under such circumstances.

"Mr. Fang, how do you plan to deal with the civil and military officials involved in Cao Jiang?" Thinking of this, Su Maoxiang suppressed his suspicion and looked at Fang Zhenghua.

“Of course it is strictly censored.”

Fang Zhenghua said calmly, "But it may take some time to kill them. After all, these people are not only involved in Cao Jiang, but also in smuggling. It is better to keep them alive than to kill them directly."

"What about the nobles?"

Su Maoxiang continued.

"Keep it first."

Fang Zhenghua smiled and said, "There are too many people behind these guys. Let's lock them up in Nanjing first. We will sort out the truth and clean up Nanjing and Nanzhili. Those who need to be transferred to the Integrity Bureau will be transferred there, and those who need to be arrested will be arrested in the Western Investigation Bureau."

it is as expected! !

Su Maoxiang secretly exclaimed, he was originally worried whether Fang Zhenghua could really stabilize Nanjing City and Nanzhili? After all, killing so many people right at the beginning clearly showed that they had completely torn their relationship apart.

But what Fang Zhenghua had done before obviously confused many people.

Those who were secretly and openly thinking that Fang Zhenghua was a brave but foolish man, but because Fang Zhenghua had all the advantages, they were afraid to take the most extreme path.

But what about now?
Even if they wanted to leave, it was impossible.

The city of Nanjing, a place involving many interests, was completely controlled by Fang Zhenghua. Any factors that threatened the stability of Nanjing were all eliminated by Fang Zhenghua. Those who enjoyed privileges and cultivated power would be closely monitored or arrested and interrogated, thus preventing chaos from occurring in Nanjing.

If Nanjing is not in chaos, then Southern Zhili will not be in chaos either.

"A powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake. This principle should be followed."

Fang Zhenghua picked up the wine cup in front of him, raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said: "That's because there are all kinds of concerns. Right now, there is nothing to worry about. To kill a snake, you have to hit it at its weakest point. We want to see how many people in Nanzhili are loyal and how many are treacherous after the change in Nanjing City!"

"But have you ever thought about this, Mr. Fang?" Su Maoxiang said with a worried look on his face, "What if a large number of rebels appear under the jurisdiction of Nanzhili? Have you ever thought about how to solve it?"

Having served in local posts for many years, especially in Zhejiang, Su Maoxiang was well aware of some dirty tricks. If something could not be done officially, he would use other means.

"This matter is easy to solve."

Fang Zhenghua smiled and said, "We will draw a group of elite soldiers from the Imperial Guards, Xiaoling Guards, and Yongwei Battalion to suppress the Nanjing-trained Household Guards. We will go wherever there is a rebellion. If the local government dares not to take action, then there will be no more officials."

"But if this happens, won't the local order be completely disrupted?"

Su Maoxiang was shocked.

"Who said that?"

Fang Zhenghua asked back, "It's hard to find a three-legged toad in this world, but there are a lot of people who want to be officials, not to mention that there are many talented people in the Japanese-suppression Joint Office. It's not difficult for the local prefects to serve as assistants for a period of time, right? During this period, those who want to be officials can go to the counties to serve as assistant officials. Those who have achievements will be promoted, and those who don't will be kicked out!"

"Is this what your majesty meant?"

Su Maoxiang was dumbfounded.

"Su Xierong, do you think our family has the courage to interfere in local affairs?" Fang Zhenghua smiled and looked at Su Mao and asked.

The Southeast is about to undergo a major change.

Su Maoxiang remained silent, but he felt sad in his heart. How many people would die if this happened? However, Su Maoxiang understood that some things, once done, would inevitably have far-reaching consequences.
