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

Chapter 470 Jiangnan family, destroyed
It's a mess, it's a mess.

Taking advantage of the Ming Dynasty's endless wars abroad, chieftains in Sichuan and Guizhou rebelled, which was caused by the She'an Rebellion.

But before the news of quelling the rebellion spread back to the capital, the whole Jiangnan was in chaos.

"The Dog Emperor is stupid and immoral, and he actually wants to recruit women from all over the world in the name of women serving as officials in the court. It is really debauchery."

"The tyrant kills innocent people indiscriminately and kills loyal ministers in vain. He is more cruel and unkind than King Zhou, and more unscrupulous than Yang Guang."

"Now the Ming Dynasty is resorting to militarism, but he still loves his achievements. This has led to swords and wars everywhere, and the whole world has rebelled."

"Nowadays, the people of the Ming Dynasty are living in dire straits and are suffering deeply. It is time to bring order to the chaos."

"And now that the emperor is not worthy of the throne because he is neither his direct descendant nor his eldest son, it is heartless and unjust to usurp the throne of his nephew, the great grandson, as the crown prince."

"Therefore, one hundred and thirty families from the south of the Yangtze River have formed an alliance and vowed to restore the Ming Dynasty to a peaceful world. It is our duty to correct the chaos. This battle is for Jingnan."

That's right, the Battle of Jingnan was started like this, with more than a hundred aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River banging gongs and drums.

Moreover, these Jiangnan aristocratic families had even made preparations in advance. With the support of the internal response in the capital, they had quietly sneaked into the 200,000-strong army. Even before the Jiangnan aristocratic families shouted a crusade, under the cover of night, they rushed into the streets one after another, until Run to the palace.

This was a sudden coup that everyone failed to prevent except one person.

Zhu Zhen was not in the harem at this time, but in the front hall, sitting on the dragon chair and looking at the screen in front of him.

The system is displaying an alarm message, giving a detailed report of who belongs to one hundred and thirty aristocratic families.

"Uncle Eighteen, we're surrounded outside. What do you say?" Zhu Gaoxu rushed in furiously. Not only was there no timidity on the boy's face, but his eyes were gleaming with excitement.

Moreover, Zhu Gaoxu had already put on the golden helmet and armor representing the royal family, but he was carrying a large pineapple machine gun with a somewhat out of place style in his hand.

"Do you want me to go up and blast them?" Zhu Gaoxu suggested.

Zhu Zhen scolded angrily: "You stinky boy, it's true that wild boars can't eat fine chaff. Now there are dozens of cannons set up in the palace city, and I've given you powerful firearms just to scare you away? No." How to lure a snake out of its hole and eradicate it?"

In fact, Zhu Zhen had been aware of this coup for a long time, including the outbreak of the She'an Rebellion. Brothers Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Yunwen arrived in time, wishing that they had rebelled a few days ago and were wiped out in the next few days.

It was just because of the long distance that the news of the counter-rebellion had not reached the capital. Instead, only the news of the She'an Rebellion had reached the capital, which created a misunderstanding for those Xiaoxiao.

They thought it was a God-given opportunity, they thought it was my advantage.

That's good, it will just lure you out and catch them all in one fell swoop.

In fact, it's not the family's fault, it was Zhu Zhen who drove them to a dead end step by step.

After all, which of Zhu Chu's policies was not revolutionizing their lives?
Abolish slavery and humiliation? In this case, who should the family exploit in the future?
A scientific examination once a year? If you really get a lot of sons from a poor family and even enlighten the common people, what kind of privileges and status does the family have?

Not to mention the tax reform carried out by Zhu Zhen's whipping method. You gave all the benefits to the people, but our family became leeks? Is it okay?
In fact, the aristocratic family had long been dissatisfied. They even ignored the shocking remarks that Zhu Chu had mentioned more than once, that one day he would free women from their shackles and allow women to serve as officials in the court.

After all, this dog emperor is already going to kill them. Women and girls should be put aside for now. This battle of Jingnan must be fought.

Zhu Ming hadn't even classified the land as Wang Tian, ​​but they were already doing this. If the new policy were to be implemented, wouldn't the aristocratic family be completely crazy?

That's why I say that Senior Wang Mang is really reckless.

"Where is your third child?" Zhu Gaosui glanced at Zhu Gaosui and asked Zhu Gaosui casually. He said he was nonchalant, but in his words he asked: "I know you two boys like to lead troops to fight, but don't be careless or arrogant, especially Third brother, that boy is the most arrogant. He usually hides behind you and comes up with bad ideas, but he also has the arrogance of the fourth brother. I want to make him an arrogant layman. But now there are only two brats in the capital, so don't be careless. "

"Oh, aren't they just those weak scholars in Jiangnan? The scholars have been rebelling for ten years. Isn't that what you said? Are useless scholars?" Zhu Gaoxu still looked carefree.

Zhu was so angry that he took off his dragon boots and hit him.

Zhu Gaoxu ran quickly.

"This kid," Zhu Zhen rolled his eyes in anger.

Is that a scholar? Will the scholars rebel? Can the rebels be scholars?

I, the scholars of the Ming Dynasty, are all people who understand the righteousness deeply. Those who rebel are rebels against the party and traitors. They should all be killed and beheaded from the whole family.

"How's it going?" A voice asked that showed fatigue.

Supervisor Zhu Zhen walked in and saw that Sixth Brother, who was originally suave and handsome, now looked tired, his eyes were a little blue, and he had even lost a lot of weight.

Zhu Ming couldn't bear it and said, "Brother Six, thank you for your hard work."

In the past few years, Zhu Zhen has been the most tired.

It’s not that Zhu Ming has become a hand-off shopkeeper, but many of the policies proposed by Zhu Ming are unheard of. After all, he either directly used Yongzheng’s policies, or simply introduced red ideas.

But it was not Zhu Zhen and the Supreme Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang who helped to implement it in the end?

If it were only Zhu Ming himself, he might not be able to complete so many reforms in this short period of time.

There is a saying, if there is no help and support from the kings, Zhu Chu can only rely on himself?

Oh, just the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty arguing with him would be enough to waste several years. Not to mention the current external battles of Lien Chan and Lianjie, even the internal affairs reform, there is no hope of making any progress.

At the same time, I have to say that among these sons of Zhu Yuanzhang, there are some great talents. Not only are they all capable ministers who can assist Chaogang in literature and martial arts, at least half of them are capable people.

Zhu Ming was very glad that he did not follow the path of rebellion, because in the end, he would be left alone.

Now, he has his biological father to protect him, the Zhu family brothers to help him, and the fourteen eunuchs below who are waiting to be harmed by him, waiting to take over.

Zhu Zhen is a driver. He drives the Daming car and goes on a rampage.

"Stop talking that nonsense," Sixth Brother said angrily, "If you have the ability to feel sorry for me, you have the ability to give me a few days of rest."

"Ahem, cough, cough," Zhu Zhen coughed dryly and said, "What did you just say?"

He doesn't have a man and a woman yet, isn't the matter of the harem a serious matter?
So Sixth Brother, Sixth Brother, those who can do more work.

Zhu Zhen sighed and said, "Dad is also a little worried. You have sealed off Xu Mansion and Tang Mansion. What do you mean?"

A flash of temptation flashed in Zhu Zhen's eyes.

The power and reputation of the Second Duke of Tang and Xu are not low. Even if the Second Duke has retired, their names alone are loud enough in the army.

Everyone said that Zhu Yuanzhang was ungrateful and unjust and liked to kill meritorious ministers.

Are you worried that Zhu Chu looks too much like Zhu Yuanzhang? Are you worried that he will take the opportunity to wipe out the Tang and Xu families?
This is indeed an opportunity.

"My brother, are you kidding me? I am sealing off our father-in-law's mansion? I am sending heavy troops to guard it, okay?" Zhu Zhen took a breath, good guy, if this is the case with the two men in the harem, Hearing that, even if there was no fuss, even if he shed a few tears, he would be heartbroken to death.

"Now that Xu Da and Tang He are old, I don't want them to worry. If they get the news, I'm afraid the two old men will have to sit still and mount their guns. What if something happens to them? How can I follow me? Wife’s explanation?”

Zhu Ming shook his head and continued: "What's more, not only the Xu Mansion and the Tang Mansion, but also the truly loyal ministers and every household are protected by me. Sixth Brother, go back and tell your father that those who looked down on him and our Zhu family at the beginning will be protected by me after today , no more survive.”

"I am most annoyed by shameless people in my life. Since they are shameless, then don't even take their lives."

"Zhu Gaoxu, you can fire now."

He will not touch his loyal ministers, but he will not spare anyone who deserves to die.

There was a cheer immediately outside the door.

It seems that this stupid boy hasn't run far yet and has been waiting for Uncle Eighteen's order.

Zhu Ming smiled, but cursed: "This bastard."

Zhu Zhen also smiled and looked in the direction outside the door and said: "It's exactly the same as you before."

He, Zhu Chu, often made Zhu Yuanzhang so angry that he took off his shoes and wanted to whip him.

"It's no wonder those people do everything they can to smear you, saying that all the children in Fourth Brother's family are your offspring," Zhu Zhen looked thoughtful again.

Zhu Ming gasped, "Damn, these boys are barely a few years younger than me, what do you think of me?"
Look outside the palace again.

Two hundred thousand troops have gathered from all over the capital, shouting: "The emperor is ignorant and has no moral principles. He should abdicate his throne and make way for others."

"The great grandson is the benevolent king. Return the throne to the great grandson."

"In a quarter of an hour, the city gate will be breached."

Facing the threat below the city, Zhu Gaosui smiled coldly on the top of the city, his eyes full of disdain and murderous intent.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Mother Dute has made such a fuss, and still thinks that she can force our eighteenth uncle to abdicate?" Zhu Gaosui felt that this group of people was really not worth mentioning and could not be used in a big way.

"But Uncle Eighteen really loves that boy Zhu Yunwen. Otherwise, this would be a great opportunity to avoid future troubles," Zhu Gaosui licked the corner of his mouth. Just by shouting the name of great grandson Zhu Yunwen outside, Zhu Yunwen can be dragged into the water, regardless of whether he knows or participates.

Is it important? unimportant.

"Third brother, it seems that Uncle Eighteen really understands you. You need to change your shady temperament behind your back. After all, our clans are all members of the same family now," Zhu Gaojiu walked up and upon hearing Zhu Gaosui's words, he immediately began to teach him a lesson.

"What's there to be afraid of? After all, there are no outsiders around, right? Commander Li," Zhu Gaosui looked aside.

Li Guixan, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, said with a smile: "That's natural. I will not get involved in your royal affairs. Your Majesty has said that from now on, this Jin Yiwei will be handed over to you sooner or later."

Zhu Gaosui curled his lips: "Anyway, it means that we are not worthy of being the emperor."

Zhu Gaoxu patted his brother's arm with his hand and said, "Just be content. I get scolded by him every day and slapped with the sole of his shoe. What did I say?"

It doesn't hurt anyway, so it doesn't matter if you pump it a few times.

Zhu Gaosui looked at him secretly and couldn't understand. At first, neither brother was liked by the eighteenth uncle, but when did this second brother gain favor?

"Don't say you don't know, Uncle Eighteen doesn't have you in his heart," Zhu Gaosui muttered.

Zhu Gaoxu sighed: "The eighteenth uncle sent his eldest brother and Zhu Yunwen to quell the rebellion, just to accumulate military merit. What's more, when all the wars in the world have been fought by their second generation ancestors, where will our third generation ancestors have room to play? I have some strength, but Uncle Shiba is worried that the Ming Dynasty is not yet in an era where benevolent monarchs are in power, so I thought maybe I could use my knife to cut another wave of leeks in the Ming Dynasty. After all, I am the stepping stone for those two benevolent gentlemen. It’s just a stone. Just don’t say it.”

Li Gui lowered his head tightly, "Masters, if you two really have great grievances, do you dare to go to the Jinluan Palace and tell His Majesty?" Talk shit to me.

"But forget it, he will give this throne to whomever he likes. It doesn't matter whether he can sit or not. From now on, if we brothers want to help, we can help. If we don't want to help, we can go and live happily in the world. As for now," Zhu Gaoxu looked down coldly. The rebels sneered: "Uncle Eighteen said, fire."

Li Gui's eyes lit up and he shouted: "Illumination."

Countless torches suddenly lit up on the top of the city.

There were torches before. After all, this is an imperial city, so there cannot be people patrolling and guarding it.

But now the torches on the city can't wait to be connected together, lighting up the entire situation on the city.

But the 200,000 rebels below could not help but gasp.

I saw that the city was already full of people, tens of thousands at a glance.

Moreover, there is a row of black cannon barrels on the battlements.

They have never seen the Hongyi Cannon, and it is not as simple as the Hongyi Cannon, but they feel guilty and realize that things seem to be beyond their expectations?

"fire."

Li Gui raised his hand and lowered it forward.

There was no need to use torches to light the fire anymore. As the artillerymen pulled the rope connected to the firing mechanism, they heard a loud bang bang bang bang, and the new artillery shells hit the rebels mercilessly one after another.

Although it is a new type of artillery shell, it still retains the style of the three old-fashioned artillery shells. Countless iron pellets are still stuffed into the blooming shell. Once it explodes in the crowd, it is simply more terrifying than the lethality of dozens of shotguns. Immediately, countless people were beaten into sieves.

The solid iron bullets were changed to warheads similar to armor-piercing bullets, but this time it was not a siege, so they were not used.

The most terrifying thing is the explosive bomb, which is filled with the latest formula of gunpowder, which is almost as good as TNT.

As countless artillery shells fell into the rebels, there was a thunderous roar, and even the ground in the capital was shaking.

Countless people who didn't know what happened were woken up one after another, and then knelt on the ground to pray, thinking that the mountain god was angry.

As for the rebels, they were blown away.

Why don't they know when our Ming Dynasty had such terrifying firearms?
If they knew, how could they dare to rebel and besiege the palace?

How many heads and lives do they have to kill them?
After several rounds of artillery fire, the rebels were bombed horribly. Not to mention corpses strewn all over the field, limbs were scattered everywhere, and it was difficult to find a whole corpse.

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui looked at each other, stopped the artillery fire, and then personally stepped forward from left to right and set up the machine guns in their hands.

Behind them were hundreds of people.

Each of them was holding a big pineapple in his hand, dragging behind him a connected bullet chain containing thousands of rounds of bullets. There were several people helping to hold the bullets.

Zhu Gaoxu sneered and shouted: "Everyone, Your Majesty asked me to tell you that times have changed."

After saying that, he pulled the trigger.

In an instant, after the artillery fire, gunshots resounded over the palace.

This is hundreds of machine guns working together, firing thousands of rounds in less than a minute.

Not to mention 200,000 people, even if there are two million people here, they will all fall.

This is not a war at all, this is one-sided massacre.

In less than half an hour, there was complete calm outside the palace gate.

Brothers Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, led Zhu Gaosui's most trusted imperial guards, began the final cleaning of the battlefield. They wanted to clean the battlefield. After all, this was a palace. If the people saw it tomorrow, don't scare them.

Secondly, if there are still people among them who are not dead, they have to be shot again to prevent them from suffering, right?

"Where is the Jin Yiwei?"

"Here."

"It's time to get to work."

Li Gui turned around and walked down the tower, then opened the palace door.

Late at night, on the streets of the capital city, a sound of neat footsteps began to be heard, running towards each government.

The Jin Yiwei came out in full force and launched a thorough clearing operation from top to bottom.

In countless mansions, the original vitality is fleeting, and not a single person is left alive, not even an infant child, who will be beaten to death.

Zhu Chun will never be merciful, he must cut off the grass and root it out.

After all, they deserve to die.

What if a moment of mercy leads to future troubles?
In just one night, the capital city changed, but it was not the throne that was threatened, but the civil and military affairs of the entire dynasty that were shuffled.

Except for those who were promoted by Zhu Zhen himself, there were only a group of military generals and some civil servants headed by Liu Sanwu and others left in the court. These people were all gentlemen. Although they usually quarreled with Zhu Zhen, Zhu Zhen actually Didn't take the opportunity to get rid of them.

Because Zhu Ming knew that they scolded him behind his back for the sake of the country and the country. They did not understand him, but they were not doing it for their own selfish desires.

So Zhu Ming can tolerate it, but rebellion is not an option.

And taking this opportunity, Zhu Min even warned the officials: "From now on, those who form cliques for selfish purposes will be killed without mercy."

The Donglin Party will never appear again.

Including other political parties and factions that form parties for personal gain, they will never be allowed to appear.

At the same time, taking advantage of this wave of purges, Zhu Zhen replaced almost most of the courtiers and promoted Sanyang. However, they were still young and found it difficult to take the position of Liubu Minister.

What is even more surprising is that Zhu Zhen, who had just been betrayed by the Jiangnan family, turned around and activated the Jiangnan family.

For example, the Zheng family, the first aristocratic family in Jiangnan, the Zhang family in Changzhou, the Ding family and the Song family in Zhenjiang Prefecture, and so on.

As long as the aristocratic families had supported Zhu Ji as a benevolent king, they were all conquered by Zhu Ji, and some of the children of the aristocratic families were specially approved to enter the court as officials.

Then came the purge of the entire Jiangnan family.

Generals such as Li Cunzhao, Xie Yu, and Hua Rong followed Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Jixi, Zhu Jiye, Zhu Jiyi and other ten princes. They spent a lot of time and energy to completely eradicate the 130 rebellious families and severely punished some of the waiters. Yes, a family with ulterior motives.

Zhu Ming's arrangements for the fourteen Taibos were also very simple. Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Gaochi went to put down the rebellion in She'an, accumulate military merits, and let Zhu Yunwen hide out to avoid being implicated.

Moreover, the two of them were benevolent kings whom Zhu Zhen favored, and were not suitable for the task of completely eradicating the family.

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui were good at fighting, but Zhu Gao was left behind to exterminate the rebels and fight to defend the palace.

As for the other ten princes, the Jiangnan family is no small matter, and it also serves as their experience.

Zhu Chu wanted to use these one hundred and thirty aristocratic families as a whetstone for the princes.

After this battle, all people and families who dared to disrespect the royal family and the court (those who had underestimated Zhu Yuanzhang) were all executed.
