Chapter 304: Propaganda ([-])

Duke of Wei.

It is the largest and most luxurious mansion in Nanjing besides the Forbidden City. Later, the "Zhan Garden", together with Suzhou's Lingering Garden, Humble Administrator's Garden, and Wuxi Jichang Garden, was known as the four famous gardens in the south of the Yangtze River. It is only a small part of it.

In other words, Zhanyuan is a garden in the Duke's Mansion of Wei.

The reason why the Wei Guogong Mansion is so big is because its predecessor was the "Wu Guogong Mansion", which is the mansion where Zhu Yuanzhang lived when he called himself Wu Guogong and Wu King.

Later, when the Forbidden City in Nanjing was built and Zhu Yuanzhang moved in, he gave the mansion to Xu Da and ordered the construction of a "Dagong Square" to honor Xu Da's contribution.

How big is the Duke's Mansion of Wei?
According to the research of later generations, it reaches the Qinhuai River in the east, Zhonghua Road in the west, Zhanyuan Road in the south, and Jianjian Road in the north!
It is a complex of buildings second only to the Forbidden City!
However, as the owner of this huge mansion, Xu Hongji is now not only ill and bedridden, but also restless - he was in much better health when spring came, and he was ready to take back the post of Nanjing garrison.

However, when the Tai army moved eastward and quickly captured Nanjing, his condition suddenly worsened to the point that he became bedridden.

"Dad! Dad..."

The crown prince Xu Yinjue ran to the yard where Xu Hongji was training while shouting.

Although Xu Hongji was in poor health, he still couldn't help but scolded: "Look at you, how panicked you look!"

Xu Yinjue gasped and said, "Dad, Uncle Xincheng's house was ransacked! The men, women and even some servants were all captured by the thieves!"

Xu Hongji was shocked at first when he heard this, and then scolded: "How many times have I told you to call me an army or a rebel? How come you still can't change your mind? Are you going to bring disaster to our family?!"

"Dad!" Xu Yinjue raised his voice, "Uncle Xincheng led the capital camp to surrender and his house was ransacked. I'm afraid our family won't be able to escape. Does it matter what we call it?!"

Xu Hongji is almost 70 years old, with gray hair. He used to be wealthy and well-maintained throughout his life, but now he is no different from an ordinary sick and old man.

He thought hard and asked, "Did Jun Xin announce the charges against Uncle Xincheng?"

Xu Yinjue is already middle-aged. Although he is a playboy, he is not completely useless. He still knows how to inquire about some information.

Wen Yan said: "It is said that the main crime is leading troops to attack the Forbidden City with evil intentions. But there are also a series of other crimes, such as disregarding human life, buying and selling by force, occupying people's land, oppressing people, etc.

I heard that many of the men and domestic servants in their family will be executed, and many of the female family members and maids will also be sent to the female camp of the Yi Army - wouldn't that mean they will be camp prostitutes? It is really worse than being sent to the Jiaofangsi Na! "

Xu Yinjue turned upside down while talking.

After hearing this, Xu Hongji murmured: "Intentions are evil? This crime is well settled - isn't it just to target whoever you want?"

There are also things like killing people, buying and selling by force, and occupying people's fields. Which noble person in Nanjing has not done these things?It's over, it's all over for us! "

Xu Yinjue also felt the crisis, and his voice was filled with tears, "Dad, what should we do?"

"Let's go, quickly find a way to leave!" Xu Hongji said, "Even if you can't leave, you still have to find a way to send a few children out of the city!"

"No, now all the important roads leading out of our mansion are guarded by thieves, and there are also teams of people patrolling day and night. Besides, the city defense is very tight now, there is no way to escape!"

"Alas!" Xu Hongji had no choice but to cry, "Old ancestor, why don't you give our family a way to survive!"

The father and son cried for a while, but decided to contact the people in the Weibei to see if they could save the lives of the master's family by voluntarily donating part of their property.

Of course, it would be better if most of the property could be preserved...
There was no movement for several days after the Yi army entered the city. Many people had almost forgotten about the Ming Dynasty nobles in the city.

In the past, many of these noble families had arrogant and domineering children and domestic slaves who were domineering and oppressed the people, which often became a topic of conversation among the people of Nanjing after dinner.Now I wish I could all become invisible, so that others can no longer see or even remember me.

Therefore, even if the Yi army ceased military control and the city was closed, they still huddled in their respective mansions.

As the Huben Guards and the newly formed Xiuyi Guards took action together and ransacked the residence of Zhao Zhilong, the uncle of Xincheng in the Ming Dynasty, the eyes of the people of Nanjing finally focused on them again.

Without him, the wealth possessed by the nobles of the Ming Dynasty is too coveted.Even if they can't get a piece of the pie, ordinary people feel refreshed when they see those nobles who once stood on the clouds fall into the mud, and when their wealth that can protect their descendants for generations or dozens of generations is taken away. .

Not to mention, the children and servants of Uncle Xincheng's family often bully others.

After learning about this incident, what the people were most enthusiastic about was how much money the Yi army had stolen from Uncle Xincheng's family, and how many of the wives, young ladies and even a few beautiful maids (born in the family) from Uncle Xincheng's family were sent to the army. What happens after the women’s camp.

"I heard that more than ten boxes of gold alone were confiscated!"

"More than that, I saw it nearby that day. The Lei army was carrying golden winter melons and silver winter melons onto the car one by one!"

"Let me tell you, you are all ignorant. How much is that gold and silver worth? The most valuable things of Uncle Xincheng's family are the more than [-] shops in the north and south of the Yangtze River, and the tens of thousands of acres of fertile land outside the city!"

"More than a hundred shops? Real or fake?"

"So there are still fake ones? There are dozens of them in Nanjing city alone!"

Some people were talking excitedly about the women's camp.

"I never expected that the Yi army, with its strict discipline, would even set up a women's camp!"

"Prostitution has been around since ancient times, what's so strange about it?"

"Eh? That's not right. Since this Yi army has prostitutes in the camp, why did I see the Yi army go to the brothel in groups before?"

"Don't you understand this? Girls from brothels are more fragrant."

"Don't talk nonsense. I heard from a vegetable farmer who went to the women's camp and said that those female prisoners were working in the women's camp. There were a few young ladies who couldn't learn anything and were made to cry after being trained."

"I don't believe it. It's because I'm doing a lot of work, but I'm also being treated by Wei Jun, hahaha..."

Forbidden City.

Fengtian Temple.

Bai Xiaosheng, deputy commander of Xiuyi Guards, Gao Zhong, leader of the first regiment of Huben Guards, and Xu Mo, military and political officer of the regiment, saluted Liu Sheng.

"See Your Majesty!"

"Flat body."

"Thank you king!"

Liu Sheng sent the following letter, saying: "Tell me, what happened with the seizure of Zhao Zhilong's family property this time?"

Bai Xiaosheng spoke up first: "Your Majesty, although Zhao Zhilong is only one of the nobles of the Ming Dynasty in Nanjing, he also has a fortune of hundreds of millions..."

In fact, several people had already written the various property data confiscated from Zhao Zhilong's house into a list and presented it to Liu Sheng for reading.

Although Zhao Zhilong was only an earl, his wealth, accumulated over many years and acquired through plunder and plunder, was not much less than that of the Ming vassal king.

The farm property in Yingtian Mansion alone is more than 1000 acres!
In addition, there are more than 130 shops of various types in Zhucheng in southern Zhili!
More than 11 taels of gold and 89 taels of silver were confiscated directly from his mansion!

As for jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, there are dozens of boxes, and their value is hard to estimate!
　Second more.
