Daming, originally wanted to destroy it, but the system came

Chapter 469: Chaos, the family is also in chaos
The She'an Rebellion broke out completely, and the entire Sichuan and Guizhou were in chaos.

Because She Chongming had already aroused public indignation. After raising the army, although he occupied the Shu Kingdom, he did not act like the leader of a country at all. Instead, he allowed his subordinates to commit crimes by burning, killing, and plundering.

The good Sichuan has been riddled with holes due to his scourge. Every household is running away, either with their families destroyed or their families fleeing as soon as possible.

However, just when She Chongming was feeling proud, he shouted that the advantage lies with me, believing that Shu was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and that Ming was now weak and unable to deal with itself.

However, Zhu Gaochi quietly brought 100,000 Naxi militiamen borrowed from Yunnan to Shu.

Mu Qiu's brother and nephew have returned to their hometown a long time ago, and these 100,000 people are usually ordinary people, and they will only become militiamen when they are put to use.

Zhu Gaochi received Zhu Gao's imperial edict and went directly to Lijiang Prefecture to borrow troops and mobilized these 100,000 Naxi troops, and they passed from Beisheng Prefecture.

When the Beishengzhou rebellion besieged Heqing Mansion, Qu Neng came from Sichuan to support him.

Now Zhu Gaochi also entered Shu from here, and then went straight to the vassal land of Shu, which is the palace of Shu King Zhu Chun, which is also Chengdu Mansion.

She Chongming was caught off guard. When a hundred thousand troops came to the city, She Chongming couldn't believe it. The Ming Dynasty reacted so quickly? And there is such an army?
However, relying on the defense of the city with high walls and thick walls, She Chongming was not only not afraid, but also wanted to negotiate terms with Zhu Gaochi. He had a posture of saying that if you don't agree to my terms, I won't submit.

Zhu Gaochi was so angry that he laughed. He raised his right hand, which had become less bloated after being trained by Uncle Eighteen for the past two years and had become more muscular. He waved forward: "Blast through this door for me."

Cannons that were even more terrifying than the Hongyi cannons were brought up, and they were no longer barrels like the Hongyi cannons, which needed to be filled with gunpowder before being fired. They were made based on the principle of firecrackers.

Today's Daming artillery also uses the principle of primer firing, and has made innovations in changing the format of the shells.

This kind of artillery not only increases its power without decreasing, but the key is that it can also fire continuously at high speed. It can fire dozens of rounds in a row before the barrel becomes hot.

Suddenly, the cannons roared under the gate of Chengdu Mansion, and the city gates and walls were covered with gunfire.

That She Chongming had never seen such terrifying firepower before. He was even blown away on the spot and could no longer shout "I have the advantage".

(Whoever shouts will die)
It took Zhu Gaochi less than a day to put down the Sichuan rebellion. Not only did he identify the culprits, but he also killed all the rebels who followed She Chongming to oppress the people, burn, kill and loot, including their family members. , Yi tribe? No, no, no, Uncle Eighteen said that he would take the family tree and kill the nine clans.

Although the Eighteenth Uncle had abolished the status of slave and humble status, he did not have to worry about being imprisoned and those who violated the law and discipline would not be tried.

Uncle Eighteen said, just kill those who deserve to be killed, why give them another chance to live?
I remember a case happened a few years ago where a twelve or thirteen year old kid killed someone.

According to the laws of the past dynasties, there is a provision that minor children can be given a lighter sentence.

But the eighteenth uncle said that it is only right to pay debts and kill people to pay for their lives.

If this is forgiven today, starting tomorrow, all children under the age of twelve will become devils. Once they know that they are irresponsible for doing bad things, from now on, the country will not be a country, and the world will be in chaos.

What's more, law and justice are supposed to protect the weak and victims. When did they start to protect the devil?
Therefore, the eighteenth uncle not only ordered to be beheaded immediately, but also to be beheaded in half.

The so-called waist beheading means cutting off the waist with one knife. However, the person being executed will not die on the spot. Instead, he will continue to live on and can clearly see and feel his fate. In the end, he will die of pain.

Uncle Eighteen also invited Grandpa Huang to visit and asked many questions about Grandpa Huang’s experience, such as how to punish people more horribly.

Originally, Zhu Gaochi was a benevolent and righteous king. He was merciful and loved the world, and could not tolerate such bloody and cruel methods.

But Uncle Eighteen called him a fool. Is your kindness meant for those bad people and thugs who harm others? Did the deceased deserve to be killed?
Especially now that Zhu Gaochi has witnessed the chaos in Sichuan with his own eyes, and countless families have been destroyed.

Zhu Gaochi seemed to realize something, his face gradually became resolute, and his eyes shone with an icy coldness.

"Kill, your majesty, the emperor's uncle has ordered that all the chieftain families in the entire Sichuan Province should not leave any chickens or dogs."

It is not to kill all other ethnic groups, but to kill all the chieftain families who persecute the people.

At the same time, Guizhou.

Guiyang City has been besieged for more than half a month.

Under the city, An Bangyan raised his head and shouted proudly to the defenders on the city: "Gu Nai is the great king of Luodian, and he has been ordered by God to live a long and prosperous life."

An Bangyan tried hard to recall the limited knowledge reserve, which was announced to the world when Zhu Zhen ascended the throne and changed the country's name to Yongchang.

Zhu Chu really liked Qin Shihuang so much.

But the defenders on the city mocked unceremoniously: "What King of Luodian? I think you overestimate your capabilities. How dare you claim the title of king even if you are a mere native?"

An Bangyan looked at the garrison at the top of the city coldly with a sullen face. He had already made up his mind that when the city was broken, he would massacre it.

At the same time, An Bangyan once again shouted the declaration of the original rebellion: "Princes, generals and ministers, would you rather have the seed?"

"What are you yelling about?"

Suddenly, a loud shout came from a distance.

An Bangyan turned around and saw a Ming army coming out of nowhere from behind. At a rough glance, it numbered 50,000.

An Bangyan was shocked at first, and then slowly calmed down. He had an army of 100,000, but only 50,000, so why bother?

"Listen to your orders, the enemy only has 50,000, and we have 100,000. I have the advantage. Kill me," An Bangyan shouted.

However, Zhu Yunwen and Muchun looked at each other.

Then we saw that tens of thousands of Ming troops were not in a hurry to take out weapons such as spears or knives, but instead raised a strange 'crossbow' one after another.

Then I heard bursts of gunfire, and tens of thousands of bullets were fired, instantly knocking down countless enemy soldiers.

And as the soldiers pulled the bolt, there was no need to effortlessly load the bullet. After the cartridge case was ejected from one side, a new bullet was loaded directly from the magazine from the loading port on the other side, and then only Just need to shoot again.

It turns out that the bolt-action rifle has been improved and turned into a device that can hang a magazine. Although it only has a capacity of ten bullets now, it is still a huge improvement compared to before.

This means that today's rifles, in the hands of a skilled veteran, can fire ten shots in the shortest time of ten seconds.

Then just change one magazine and you can fire ten more shots in the shortest time.

Facing such a terrifying firearm, how could An Bangyan be his opponent.

Suddenly, a hundred thousand people turned into a rabble, and countless people cried for their fathers and mothers and fled.

"Don't let any of them go, I'll kill them all," Zhu Yunwen shouted, and even picked up a gun himself, aimed at An Bangyan and shot.

In a daze, Muchun seemed to see the original His Majesty, and couldn't help but shake his head. He was worthy of being an imperial uncle. Even the arrogant and well-connected Zhu Yunwen had been trained by him to be decent.

With a burst of shooting by the Ming army, An Bangyan's entire army was naturally wiped out.

Including An Bangyan himself, he was also shot and killed by Zhu Yunwen himself.

Then came the Great Purge.

Zhu Yunwen was also a prince after all, and after Zhu Ming came to power, he even posthumously named the former prince Zhu Biao the emperor and gave him the posthumous title of 'Emperor Xiaokang'.

After all, Zhu Biao had never been a real emperor and could not give him a posthumous title, so he was given Xiaokang, which was good.

You can't let Zhu Ming give the posthumous title of Ming Taizong to his eldest brother, right? Even if he is willing, it is a pity that Zhu Biaode is not worthy of the position. Not only will the ministers not agree, but even Zhu Yunwen will feel inappropriate.

Speaking of this strange emperor, Zhu Ming shocked everyone when he wanted to call himself Taizong of the Ming Dynasty.

I have never seen an emperor give himself a posthumous title while he was still alive.

This is the first one.

But Zhu Ming also had something to say. There were only a limited number of emperors he respected. For example, Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty, who he used many policies for, was also the only Qing Dynasty emperor recognized by Zhu Ming.

There is also his father, Emperor Hongwu, and then Li Erfeng is also counted, and then there is the first emperor Ying Zheng.

Qin Shihuang believed that the posthumous title system was "a son discussing his father and ministers discussing the emperor". This was inappropriate and he even abolished the posthumous title system for a time.

Zhu Ming naturally follows in the footsteps of his idol. I give myself a posthumous title myself. Who dares to try to steal my Ming Taizong's posthumous title in the future? I descended from my spiritual throne to carve out an unworthy descendant.

Based on his achievements, he will definitely have a temple title in the future, that is, he will enter the Ancestral Temple.

After all, the emperor and his ministers are different. If the ministers want to enter the Ancestral Temple, they have to devote themselves to death.

In fact, at first, the Imperial Ancestral Temple was only a place to worship the emperor's ancestors. Later, the shrines of queens and heroes could also be enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple with the emperor's approval.

Therefore, even if it is not his descendants of Zhu Shiba's blood who will inherit the throne in the future, Zhu Ming's ranking is unshakable. Once he ascends to the immortal world one day, if he notices that his descendants in the lower world have unfilial sons, maybe he will come down to earth?
Far away.

All in all, Zhu Yunwen's status is very unusual. He was the emperor's grandson before, and now he is one of the fourteen eunuchs personally promoted by Zhu Zhen. He is even more optimistic about inheriting the status of the crown prince.

Therefore, he took full charge of the affairs of Guizhou, and worked with Zhu Gaochi in the east and west to comprehensively promote the reform of the land and return to local affairs.

The people in the two places were panicked at first, but when they learned that the imperial court was going to change their ways, they cheered. They finally saw the light of day.

At the same time, Zhu Ming also took this opportunity to start purging the country. The chieftain system in various places that could not be touched before was now completely eradicated.

There were a lot of criticisms at the beginning.

But Zhu Zhen laughed, hell, so many chieftains are rebelling, I would be a fool if I still believed in you.

I can give you official positions, but if you still want to have autonomy like before, then it is better to die once and have whatever you want after death.

As a result, the entire Ming Dynasty began a grand reform policy. One chieftain family fell down, but the people cheered because the land reform allowed them to be redistributed to the land.

At the same time, Zhu Chu also followed this reform and completely completed the national household registration census, and abolished all slave and humble registrations.

Some people, for various reasons, signed a deed of sale, and all of it was immediately invalidated.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was no longer a contract of sale, but only an employment system.

The deed of betrayal is so terrible. The person who signed the deed of betrayal no longer even belongs to an individual. The master can deal with it at will, or even kill him for any reason.

Especially the women in brothels are even more miserable.

How many families are desperate and sell their sons and daughters, but they will not sell them to brothels unless absolutely necessary.

Once you sell here, it will be doomed.

Zhu Zhen did not wipe out all the brothels across the country. After all, if there is a need, there is a need. He wants to benefit the people, but this kind of thing cannot be done in one sentence. National affairs must be done step by step, otherwise it will be like him Dad said, if you take a big step, it will easily pull your balls.

It’s not that bad things need to be cut across the board, but that they have to be cut bit by bit like surgery.

Therefore, Zhu Chu first publicized it nationwide and then implemented it locally.

When the women in the brothel were told that they were free, they burst into tears of joy.

However, the old madam quit, crying and wiping away her tears, saying how much money had been spent and that she could no longer survive.

The housekeeper was also reasonable and said that although the women were free, they still had to pay back the money, so they signed a labor agreement and the price of the repayment was clearly marked.

Focus on fairness.

After all, no matter how pitiful a woman is, didn’t she really take other people’s money in the first place?

Unless he was forcing a good woman into prostitution, Zhu Ming would not force the old madam to death.

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner, and Ming Dynasty is flourishing and embarking on the road of global unification.

But on this day, something big happened in the palace.

Emperor Yongchang was poisoned.

At the same time, even Queen Xu Miaojin, Concubine Tang Xian Tang Xin, and Concubine Mu Shu Mu Qiu were all knocked down by some kind of poison.

Even the Supreme Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and fell ill when he heard the news.

Suddenly, the entire capital was in chaos.

"it's time."

"It's time to act."

"Nowadays, several vassal princes whose strength cannot be underestimated are all leading troops to fight outside. The Supreme Emperor is already old, and His Majesty has no heirs. His Highness Yunwen is outside and will not be implicated. As long as we shift the blame to those incompetent princes, or Everything will be fine for the three generations of the Zhu family."

"Then Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng and others are simply idiots. They dare to do anything under the eyes of Emperor Hongwu and mobilize military troops? It's really ridiculous."

"Our family has to take action."

Some ministers of the DPRK and China gathered together at this time and were plotting a major event, that is, rebellion.

But they wouldn't say that about themselves, otherwise wouldn't they become traitors and traitors?

This is not a rebellion.

"Now His Majesty is so aggressive in military affairs and so happy with his achievements that he has made the Ming Dynasty fight endlessly for years and is at odds with the surrounding countries. He has already made the world angry and resentful."

"So we have to clear the emperor's side. This is the battle of Jingnan."

Good guy, if Zhu Chu were here, he would definitely call him "good guy". Do you really dare to call him "Battle of Jingnan"?

"Actually, Zhu Yuanzhang can be the emperor, which is not a bad idea for our family," suddenly a look of greed flashed in someone's eyes.

As a result, others scolded: "Are you a fool too? Didn't I already say that those powerful lords are all leading their troops outside? And those generals and troops. Because of this, we have this opportunity. But once We want to usurp the throne. How can we resist when those millions of troops come back? So we can only support His Highness Wen to ascend the throne."

"It seems that we have to continue to trick His Highness Yunwen into reducing the vassal status. It is really inappropriate to allow the descendants of the Zhu family to hold power."

As a result, no one clamored about the usurpation of the throne by multiple powers.

At the same time, for the sake of convenience and mutual trust, they also gave themselves a nice party name, called Donglin Party.

The reason why the Donglin Party in history was called this name is because in the early days, members of the Donglin Party liked to give lectures at Donglin Academy, discuss government affairs, and comment on officials. They advocated honesty and integrity, revitalizing officialdom, opening up the way of speech, and eliminating the evils of the government and the opposition. Oppose corruption and perversion of the law by the powerful.

So this group of people gradually came together and formed the prototype of the Donglin Party.

Now, they are using the slogan of Jingnan Campaign to restore the former East Palace Prince Zhu Yunwen.

It can barely be called the Donglin Party.

"Let the major families take action. Now His Majesty has been poisoned, the Supreme Emperor has also fallen ill, and the palace officials are panicking. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

So that night, the capital city was destined to be unstable.

It turned out that unknowingly, many people with bad intentions had quietly sneaked into the imperial city and kept them in the houses of various aristocratic families. Not only were they provided with delicious food and drink, but even armor and weapons were ready, just waiting for this. One day.

It seems that the family has reached the limit of their patience with Zhu Chu's actions, but they have to continue to endure because Zhu Chu is too strong, holds military power, has the strong support of the royal family and the followers of the military generals group.

But as Zhu Chu's various policies and new policies continue to be implemented, think about it, which one is not going to destroy the life of the family?

As long as it was not the early Ming Dynasty, but the middle or even late Ming Dynasty, if Zhu Min offended the family by seeking death like this, he would be "easily soluble in water".

However, as Zhu Zhen led the Ming Dynasty to fight for years, he sent out several princes, brothers, and generals with outstanding military capabilities, and even sent out tens of millions of troops (individual Ming army) .

Now, Emperor Yongchang, you have no soldiers or generals to deploy, right?
Then, it's our family's turn to take action.

At this time, the advantage lies with me.

On this night, the capital was destined to be unstable.

It was obviously late at night, but there were thunderous footsteps on the street. Not only dozens or hundreds, but even thousands of people were walking together, and they were fully armed. They looked no different from the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

And there is not just one such team, there are more than ten or twenty.

The aristocratic family has accumulated strength for a long time, and even the combined strength of all the aristocratic families is close to 200,000.

This is the family's trump card, this is the family's confidence, and this is their killer move.

"Emperor Dog, you are right, we are just dogs. We will kill you while you are sick."

"In the battle of Jingnan, we can only win but not lose."

"kill."

(PS: This scene was supposed to be at the end of the plot of Seizing the Progeny, when Zhu Yunwen led the family to launch the Jingnan Campaign. emmm.)
