Chapter 1105 The Killing Begins

If Luo Xin just continued to kill so simply, he would really become a loner.Will be squeezed out by the entire Ming Dynasty officialdom.Once in trouble in the future, there will be no one to help him, and all the people will be the ones who make trouble.

This is what Luo Xin is worried about, and it is also Luo Xin who is walking on the edge of his ability.

Walking on thin ice.

Fortunately, after talking with Ma Fang, he has found a solution.That is to kill while supporting one's own strength.It was precisely because of this strategy that he submitted the memorial to Emperor Jiajing.He calculated in his mind that about 200 officials would be killed this time, but he took away [-] officials.

Thus, a problem arises.

It's not that those who follow Luo Xin to leave the capital will definitely be able to take this ride and become officials.Whoever wants to be an official depends on what Luo Xin wants.In other words, whoever Luo Xin likes can become an official in his place.

Among the 300 people, more than 70 are members of Fuxing Society.Luo Xin will arrange different official positions according to the abilities of these 70 people.These more than 70 people are our own people, and they must be used, and they must be used in important positions.The rest are Gao Gong's people, Xu Jie's people, and the centrists.

The centrists are actually the most troublesome group.If they defected, why would they wait until now?He had already defected to Gao Gong and Xu Jie.We must know that the people selected by Luo Xin this time are not incompetent, only nerds who only know how to read.As if they were willing to defect to Gao Gong and Xu Jie, of course, with some gifts, they should be able to get a half-job.

On the one hand, these people did not want to participate in the court struggle, and on the other hand, they did not give gifts.There are two aspects to this lack of gift giving. One is that you don't want to give gifts if you have money.One is to send no money.

Luo Xin does not need to accept gifts.Of course, if you still don't want to participate in the court struggle, you just want to be an idler.Luo Xin will not flatter you to persuade you.I, Luo Xin, don't need you to give gifts, but you must take the initiative to join my Luo Xin's camp.Otherwise, you will be traveling at public expense, follow Luo Xin for a while, and then go back.

As for Gao Gong and Xu Jie's people, Luo Xin will also arrange them.But the location of the arrangement will not be so good.Even in such a position, Gao Gong's people will be followed first, and Xu Jie's people will be placed last.

With such a plan, Luo Xin dared to grit his teeth and take care of this matter, feeling that it was within his ability.While removing some moths, cultivate your own power.The people in the Fuxing Society and those close to me were either petty officials or no official positions.Now that these people are sitting in positions one by one, this is a force, and as time goes by, as these people grow up, a huge energy will be formed.

Among the 300 people led by Luo Xin this time, there are not only officials without positions, but also some officials who already have positions, such as Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun. Gao Gong didn't care.These people can still maintain the seventh-rank officials, and it is not bad that they have not been dismissed.This time Luo Xin summoned them all, nominally to assist Luo Xin in disaster relief and to encircle and suppress the bandits.And to those officials who do not have official positions, it is said that they will experience being an official with Luo Xin.That is to say, they were given a chance to learn, but they were not told that Luo Xin was going to kill the officials this time, and then they could replace the officials.

As for the true intention, only four people in the entire Ming Dynasty knew about it.One is Emperor Jiajing, one is Luo Xin, one is Liu Shouyou, and the other is Huang Jin.

Emperor Jiajing knew the importance of this matter, so naturally he would not say it.Luo Xin would not say anything.Liu Shouyou and Huang Jin are now wearing a pair of pants with Luo Xin, so of course they won't say anything.Therefore, when these people got the news, they were not in a good mood.

How good it is to stay in the capital in the midst of chaos.Who wants to go out to relieve disasters and suppress bandits?

Not to mention tired, maybe he will die.You must know that those rogues are not good people.

Immediately, quite a few of these people began to look for a way out, wanting not to go.Of course, those who can find a way are Gao Gong and Xu Jie's people, and other people want to find a way, but they can't find it.

Of course, people from the Fuxing Society still found Luo Xin, and even Zhou Yu and others came to Luo Mansion.All eight of them have official positions now, including Xu Shixing.They came to Luo Xin not because they didn't want to go with Luo Xin, but to ask Luo Xin what they need to wait for others to do to better assist Luo Xin.

Luo Xin was very satisfied with their attitude.Tell them about the importance of this disaster relief and encirclement and suppression of rogue bandits, and it's only been half a year.Because the north and the south put too much pressure on Daming.

Zhou Yu, Zhang Xun, Xu Shixing and others also looked serious. These people are all elites and have their own analysis of the current situation, but they are trapped by incomplete information and do not realize the seriousness.Besides, they were originally here to help Luo Xin.They didn't care too much about how well they were officials, so they were suddenly transferred to Luo Xin.The entire Fuxing Society has one idea and one purpose, which is to support Luo Xin.Give up your own interests and support Luo Xin. Only when Luo Xin reaches a high position can he pull them back.Therefore, they gave up their official positions to help Luo Xin, and they didn't have any complaints in their hearts.Hearing the current situation and their mission at this time, the whole person became excited.

It seems that the situation is corrupt now, but for those who want to gain fame, it is a rare era for them.Only in such a situation can heroes be useful.

the next morning.

Luo Xin took a thousand cavalry, and Liu Shouyou took five hundred brocade guards.Adding three hundred officials, they left the capital.

No one thought it was abnormal. Now that Luo Xin is in charge of disaster relief and encirclement and suppression of bandits, he went down to inspect, is it normal for him not to die?

what?
Bring a thousand cavalry and five hundred brocade guards?
Now that bandits are everywhere, why not bring more soldiers?
Bring three hundred officials?
Didn't His Majesty say that?That was a learning opportunity for these officials.

but……

When the news reached the capital, all the officials were so shocked that their eyeballs almost fell out.

The first destination Luo Xin led was Shandong, and when they arrived in Shandong, Luo Xin arrested the Shandong prefect, Tong Zhi and more than [-] officials on the same day, ransacked their homes, and confiscated their land and property.Announce the crimes and evidence of more than [-] officials, and then immediately select more than [-] officials from the [-] accompanying officials to replace those officials who were beheaded, and govern Shandong.

Zhou Yu became the prefect of Shandong in one step, and Xu Shi acted as the same prefect.Some less important positions were assigned to Gao Gong and Xu Jie.There is no official position for those centrists.
