Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 152 Beheading Plan
Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuo were originally stationed in several prefectures, mainly Xuzhou, Sizhou, Shouzhou, Linhuai, Chenqi and other places, not counting Fengyang, Xuzhou, and Hezhou where Huang Degong was stationed. The land owned by the warlords is also a large piece of land.

These sites were looted by warlords, the common people must be poor, but the fat ones must be Liu Liangzuo and Gao Jie, the big men in the army. Now that Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuo are all finished, Zhu Yousong decided to use the old trick, ransacking the house!
In addition, local officials such as prefectures, counties, and roads under the control of these two warlords dare not offend guns. Officials who are not corrupt must have colluded with Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuo. These two warlords were executed by the court. These officials are afraid Being implicated, many people fled for their lives by throwing away their Wusha hanging seals, but the monks could not escape the temple if they escaped, so these officials were naturally included in the search.

Therefore, Zhu Yousong immediately summoned Gao Hongtu, the chief assistant of the cabinet, into the palace, and signaled him to send people to join the household department and the official department to inspect the original defense areas of Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuo. The elders of prefectures and county roads should all be investigated. Those officials who are still in office can be temporarily regarded as upright and upright officials who are not afraid of shadows and evil, and they will not be held accountable. All gold, silver and jewelry will be confiscated.

For officials who abandoned their official seals and official seals and ran away, the cabinet and the Ministry of Officials will sort out these vacancies, and fill them up after they are recruited through scientific examinations.

Zhu Yousong told them that all the proceeds from this search were put into the national treasury, and the factory guards sent staff to supervise the whole process.

After the decree was issued, these cabinet officials, officials and envoys, and Jinwei Changfan all took action.

Zhu Yousong felt that this should be a considerable amount of income, so let’s move forward with support. Now the situation in Nanming has not been completely stabilized, that is to say, the majesty of his Hongguang Emperor has not been fully established. And the taxation measures have not yet been released. We can only wait until the warlords of the four towns and Zuo Liangyu in Wuhan are settled. The imperial court has absolute authority over the capital and the local area, and then reform the old system. In front of him, he was obedient, and he didn't even dare to give a flat fart, but behind his back, he used his imperial decree as a toilet paper, that would be too boring.

The warlords of the four towns have now settled down the three towns, and there is still Liu Zeqing who is sick in the Huaihe River. Zhu Yousong knows that this Bo Dongping is an old trickster. He always finds excuses to make excuses and resists. In fact, he just sits on the key points and disobeys the court, but when he asks the court for food and salary, he is very active.

Such a person is really hateful, the key is that it is useless to keep him. When the court is fine, he builds a lot of land on one-third of an acre of land. He was heavily armed but did not resist. In history, like Liu Liangzuo, he led his troops to surrender to the Tartars and became a shameful traitor.However, compared to Liu Liangzuo, his traitor had the worst fate and was strangled by the Qing court.

Zhu Yousong hates traitors the most, so he must not be tolerated.Rather than letting the Qing court strangle him in the future, it would be more satisfying to have him strangled by himself now. Not to mention, it would be cheaper for him to harm the world for several years. .

Qu Zhi calculated that it had already entered October, and Li Zicheng would almost be unable to hold on in Tongguan. If Li Zicheng was dealt with, those wild boar belts would lead a large number of traitors to the south. This was his real opponent.

In addition, there is a Marquis of Wuchang who needs to be settled. Compared with the warlords of the four towns, this is the hardest bone to crack, because his strength is comparable to the sum of the warlords of the four towns, not only is his army even bigger than the four towns of Jiangbei plus one piece. There are more than 10,000+. He controls the three towns of Wuhan and the vast area of ​​southern Ningnan. At the peak of his military strength, it exceeds 80 horses. If he succeeds in cutting down his domain and reorganizes these dozens of troops into soldiers loyal to the imperial court, Nanming's game Chess is played.

In this troubled world, the most important and most effective thing is of course the gun. If you don’t grasp the gun, everything is meaningless. It has been repeatedly proved by history, Zhu Yousong certainly knows how to be the leader.

In history, the Marquis of Wuchang rebelled against Emperor Hongguang in the first year of Hongguang, that is, in March next year. Although he died of illness, his son surrendered to the Tartars with more than 20 soldiers and horses. It pushed the leaning Nanming government into an abyss of destruction.

Therefore, he must be dealt with in the next four months. There is not much time left for him. The next two months will be the national civil and military imperial examinations. The decree has already been made. No, before taking action against Zuo Liangyu, the malignant tumor of Uncle Dongping must be eliminated as soon as possible.

Time was very tight, Zhu Yousong paced back and forth in the palace, his mind spinning rapidly.The inner eunuchs of the court ladies are not far or near, there are those who hold tea, and those who serve water, watch their words and expressions, and serve them carefully.

It was impossible to transfer Liu Liangzuo to the capital to deal with him. Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuo were killed one after another, causing such a big shock, he must be alert.

Cutting down the feudal clan by force will inevitably lead to a bloody battle. Liu Zeqing is stationed in some areas of Huai'an and Yangzhou, with [-] soldiers in his hands. Even Emperor Chongzhen doesn't pay attention to him, let alone himself, the little King Fu who was pushed to the throne by him and has no stable foothold. Woolen cloth?I'm afraid it's even more trivial.

If soldiers from Xuzhou, Sizhou, Zhenjiang, Henan and other places are sent to besiege head-on, we are absolutely sure that Dongping Bo will be cleared out of Huai'an, but this is by no means the best strategy, because killing one thousand enemies will hurt eight hundred, and it is necessary to To deal with his 10 troops, it is estimated that the court will have at least half of the troops, and the damage on both sides will undoubtedly be very heavy. This is a routine that Zhu Yousong is unwilling to use.

Because no matter how much the two sides lost, it was his men and horses in the end. In a word, Zhu Yousong still wanted to kill Liu Zeqing at the lowest price, and reduce the rest to the court as much as possible.

It would be better to resort to decapitation, but this is undoubtedly more difficult.This is not a novel, not a film and television show. You can indulge yourself casually. Sending assassins to the lair of tigers and wolves with [-] generals to kill their uncle Liu Zeqing will undoubtedly pull your teeth out. Who is worthy of this important task?In this era, there is no lack of people like Jing Ke who are brave enough to go to death, but Liu Zeqing is not the king of Qin, he is vicious and vicious, and he will be punished even more than the king of Qin.

Zhu Yousong lined up civil and military officials, Jinyi guards, etc. one by one, but couldn't find a suitable candidate. Finally, he locked his target on himself.

But Zhu Yousong is not arrogant. Although his martial arts are not weak, now that he practiced his breath internally and practiced swordsmanship outside, his martial arts level is almost the same as that of Zhu Song, a small sorcerer in the cultivation world, especially Zhu Yousong is good at stepping down. Whether it is Ma Luan, the master of Jinyiwei, or the brave generals Gao Jie, Xing Shi, Gao Jinku, etc., Zhu Yousong has never met an opponent before him.

But if he wanted to use this to sneakily assassinate Liu Zeqing, he was undoubtedly seeking his own death, and he had to pay attention to some strategies.

Suddenly he thought of Liu Zeqing's illness, his eyes lit up, he had it!

In Zhu Yousong's impression, Liu Zeqing pretended to be ill. A few months ago, Emperor Chongzhen issued an order to conscript him into King Qin of Jing, but he pretended to be ill and refused to obey the order.Now Zhu Yousong sent an order for him to enter Shandong to fight against the thieves and captives, but he pretended to be sick and refused to obey the order.

That being the case, I will let him have a serious illness this time!
