The Most Powerful Man in the World

Thinking of these Liu Zhu and Xiang Ping, they cheered and said, "We are willing to die for the governor."

Chu Yi's voice was cold, and a cold look flashed in his eyes: "If this is the case, then you all die!"

Between the words, Chu Yi said coldly: "Passing on the order of the governor, Liu Zhu and Xiang Pingping help King Ning in his rebellion. It is really a big treason, killing the whole family and looting the family and destroying the family!"

"what!"

A heart just fell, and in the blink of an eye, Chu Yi actually wanted to kill them all. How could Liu Zhu and Xiang Pingping not be stunned by this, they couldn't react for a while.

Liu Zhu and the others, who were originally happy, suddenly raised their heads to look at Chu Yi, and saw Chu Yi sitting there with a cold face, looking at them calmly.

Liu Zhu couldn't help screaming: "General Manager, did you make a mistake, we are loyal to you..."

"Sir, spare your life!"

"Forgive me, we don't dare anymore!"

Immediately, most of the dozen or so people collapsed to the ground, wailing endlessly.

At this moment, they were sure that Chu Yi really wanted to kill them, and all this was different from what they expected.

Although Xu Tianzuo and the others said that they were slightly taken aback, they quickly reacted, and looked at Liu Zhu and others who were lying on the ground happily, with disdain in their eyes.

A group of shameless villains who are two-faced and three-dimensional, even want to survive after participating in the rebellion, really dare to think.

Fang Li glanced at Chu Yi and saw that Chu Yi was a little unhappy. He stepped forward and shouted in a deep voice, "Someone, drag these people out!"

Immediately, a group of soldiers came forward and grabbed Liu Zhu and Xiang Pingping and dragged them out of the hall.

"The robber, you must not die, you must not die..."

"Hahaha, eighteen years later, I'm still a good guy..."

After watching Liu Zhu and the others leave, the hall finally regained its cleanliness, only to hear Fang Li open his mouth and say to Chu Yi: "General Manager, these people are just a part of them, I don't know what the General Manager is going to do with Nanjing City, once attached to Ning. Those officials and gentry of the king?"

A stern look flashed in Chu Yi's eyes and said: "Fang Li, this Governor ordered you to immediately check all the officials and gentry in Nanjing City, but whoever is implicated in King Tong Ning will be captured together and wait for the court to decide!"

Fang Li's eyes lit up when he heard the words. As one of Chu Yi's confidants, Fang Li's plans for Chu Yi were naturally all too clear. It would be strange if Chu Yi didn't take the opportunity to wipe out the inherent class in Jiangnan.

Taking advantage of King Ning's rebellion, Nanjing City has experienced this incident. I am afraid that the tyrants and the powerful will be out of ten, and there will be no one out of a hundred.

Originally, these powerful and powerful forces were the most tyrannical, and the most concentrated place was Nanjing City. As long as these powerful and powerful forces in Nanjing City were cleaned up, at least half of the stubborn forces entrenched in Jiangnan would be destroyed.

As for the Jiangnan region, the nobles and noble families who chose to stand on the opposite side of the imperial court were almost all exposed, and many families even rallied to occupy one side.

It's just that Chu Yi didn't take these aristocratic families into his heart at all. It was just a matter of time when Wang Shouren personally led the army to pacify the place.

With the order of Chu Yi, Fang Li, who received the order of Chu Yi, with the cooperation of the army, made a large cable for the whole city. In the huge Nanjing city, hundreds of dignitaries and gentry's families said that some of them were hit by the chaos of the army. Most of them rely on their own strength and have not suffered the scourge of the chaotic army.

Many gentry and dignitaries are not worried at all. In their opinion, whether Nanjing City is in the hands of King Ning or the imperial court, their status cannot be shaken.

But the fact gave them a blow to the head. Chu Yi gave an order, and Jinyiwei and Dongchang directly arrested people according to the list.

These dignitaries and lords themselves are not clean. King Ning has occupied Nanjing City for half a month. During this period, he can really see the form clearly, or he can resist all kinds of temptations and insist that he is not related to King Ning. There are really not many nobles and gentry.

It's not to say that there are none, but there are really very few who stand firm like this.

If this point is said in normal times, it is nothing, and even if Chu Yi does not pursue it, it is not a big crime.

But now that Chu Yi wants to engage in a relationship, then these will become the biggest criminal evidence of the powerful and tyrannical gentry. It only takes one sentence to collude with the rebels.

Even if some families just congratulate King Ning and accept King Ning's reward, that is the biggest sin.

When a team of soldiers broke open the gates of a family of tyrants and dignitaries, the entire Nanjing city was eerily calm.

The people of Nanjing didn't show any surprises when they watched the powerful and noble families being taken away by the army.

In the land of Jiangnan, Chu Yi is like a god-killer. In the eyes of the common people, Chu Yi has never compromised and soft-handed towards the powerful and noble.

Many dignitaries and gentry even had certain illusions about Chu Yi, believing that Chu Yi would definitely not treat them like that, but he was inferior to the people in the city.

Many ordinary people can see that Chu Yi is definitely going to clean the city of Nanjing by virtue of their own cleverness, but some powerful people can't even understand this.

When the army broke through the door, many dignitaries and gentry suddenly remembered that Chu Yi was fundamentally different from the servants and officials they had come into contact with in the past.

Other officials, even the emperor, would have scruples, but Chu Yi never acted without scruples.

This can be seen from the fact that Chu Yi dared to kill in Jiangnan when he was just a supervisor of the East Factory.

If Chu Yi is really the kind of person who acts forward and backward, I am afraid that it will not be possible for so many people to be afraid of him.

Of course, it wasn't that no one saw that Chu Yi was bound to wash Nanjing City with blood. After all, no one was a fool. Some people shrugged their heads and didn't want to face the reality. Some people also tried to call on everyone to unite against Chu Yi.

It's a pity that some people ran away before King Ning failed, but not many people were willing to do their best to help King Ning resist Chu Yi.

It's clear to see clearly, but human nature is selfish, and if they want to give all their family wealth to help King Ning conquer the world, there are a few people who can make that determination.

Therefore, even when the city of Nanjing was breached, there was still no consensus among the nobles and gentry in the city of Nanjing.

Chapter 2 Experienced in a hundred battles Wang Yangming [[-] more]

In three days, more than [-] dignitaries and lords in Nanjing City were taken down, almost emptying the houses of lords and lords in Nanjing City, and even if there were any left, there were very few.

More than [-] families, together with their relatives, have captured more than [-] people. The prison in Nanjing City simply cannot accommodate so many prisoners. For this reason, Chu Yi sent people to build an open-air prison outside the city of Nanjing. The prisoners detained these criminals and sent thousands of troops to personally guard them.

If they raided their homes and took people, these tyrants and powerful families could be said to be a wealthy family. Even the smallest tyrants would have at least tens of thousands of taels of wealth if they counted their properties.

This is the smallest family of nobles among them. As for the families of the top dignitaries, they are the houses of marquis and earls awarded by the original court, which can be said to have been passed down for over a hundred years.

When Nanjing City was occupied, there were not many dignitaries in Nanjing City who escaped. Nanjing City itself is a place where dignitaries gather. What kind of choices will these dignitaries make after King Ning enters Nanjing City?

Moreover, these dignitaries are huge, and they are intertwined in Jiangnan. It is no exaggeration to say that these dignitaries in Nanjing city absolutely have a strong control.

And Chu Yi wanted to open the sea and increase taxes, so he naturally stood on the opposite side of these people. Otherwise, these people would not be able to create so many storms, and even tried to change the dynasty by launching King Ninglai.

The most top-level lords and powerful families can easily confiscate millions of taels of wealth.

People are easy to catch, and the speed of this house raid is really not fast. For several days, Fang Li, Tang Bohu and others have been leading people to raid their houses almost day and night, and truckloads of gold and silver jewelry have been pulled into the palace. .

Several halls of the Imperial Palace in Nanjing City were vacated to store all kinds of property that were confiscated from the home raid.

At this moment, Qi Hu cautiously walked into the study with a stack of books, and saw Chu Yi sitting there looking through the information of Jin Yiwei.

Taking a few steps forward, Qi Hu carefully placed some of the classics from the home raid on the table.

Chu Yi put down the news from Jin Yiwei, raised his head and glanced at the thick stack of books on the table.

As someone close to Chu Yi, Qi Hu naturally knew that Chu Yi had an unusual liking for the classics handwritten by the sages and great Confucians, so these people under Chu Yi were naturally very knowledgeable and would carefully collect these classics.

In the past few days alone, more than a dozen classics have been presented almost every day, and Chu Yi has also gained a lot of luck from these classics.

Glancing at Qi Hu, Chu Yi said slowly, "Qi Hu, how did Fang Li, Tang Bohu and the others deal with them there, is the house raiding finished?"

Qi Hu hurriedly said: "Go back to the governor, the raiding of the house has been completed. Now Fang Li and Tang Bohu are counting the proceeds of the raiding. It will take a long time to get the results."

Chu Yi nodded slightly.

To be honest, Chu Yi didn't care much about the income from the raid. As for how much property he could have stolen, Chu Yi could roughly guess in his heart.

Jiangnan is prosperous, and most of the maritime merchants and lords are in Jiangnan, not to mention these lords and dignitaries in Nanjing.

Too much to say, the wealth gathered in Nanjing city is afraid to exceed the wealth gathered in Beijing city.

This time, he almost emptied all the lords and dignitaries in Nanjing City. It would be strange if he didn't loot tens of millions of taels of silver.

Through maritime merchants, overseas silver has begun to flow into Daming in large quantities. Although it has not yet reached its peak, a considerable part of the silver flowing into Daming has settled in the prosperous Jiangnan.

It is a pity that these wealth did not fall into the hands of the common people, but concentrated in the hands of a small group of people. Needless to say, those who occupy a considerable amount of wealth are these dignitaries and gentry.

These tycoons and dignitaries have exhausted the wealth accumulated over the generations. I don't know how much of this wealth is covered with blood, but now they all fall into the hands of the imperial court.

There was a burst of hurried footsteps, Chu Yi looked at it, and saw Xu Tianzuo walking quickly with a letter on his face, and as soon as he entered the door, he said to Chu Yi with a happy face: "General Manager, good news, good news. what!"

Chu Yi smiled slightly, glanced at Xu Tianzuo and said, "It seems that the news of Wang Shouren's attack on Yangzhou City has arrived!"

Xu Tianzuo, who was originally smiling, was stunned when he heard the words, with a look of doubt on his face. The good news in his hand was the good news that Wang Shouren sent quickly to break through Yangzhou City.

More than a dozen families including the Xie family and the Mo family in Yangzhou City joined together to form a rebel army of [-] to [-], occupying one place in Yangzhou. It can be said that it is the most powerful and most powerful of the many rebels who responded to King Ning. strong.

Wang Shouren went south to quell the rebellion, and wherever he passed along the way, it can be said that the forces large and small on one side were simply vulnerable, and were easily pacified by Wang Shouren.

Just pushing it all the way, Wang Shouren's soldiers and horses have become more and more, and by the time they reach the city of Yangzhou, Wang Shouren's soldiers and horses have even reached as many as [-].

The rebels formed by those tyrants and dignitaries were recruited from the tenant households in the final analysis. After Wang Shouren beheaded those lords and dignitaries, these tenants were naturally recruited into the army by Wang Shouren.

It was like a snowball all the way down, Wang Shouren was stunned to gather as many as [-] soldiers and horses to kill in front of Yangzhou City.

If Xie Mingyu and others say that they are making money or intrigue with others, there are really not many people who can count them.

But to let these people lead the army to fight, to be honest, it is really too embarrassing for them.

Even among them, some of them have had the experience of leading a fleet to fight against pirates at sea, but pirates are pirates after all, and a conflict of that scale can only be counted as a fight between hundreds of people.

But now it is a battle between tens of thousands of people. If it is not a real military commander, I am afraid that even tens of thousands of troops may not be able to control it perfectly.

This is the case with Xie Mingyu and others. They seem to be very powerful, with tens of thousands of people occupying Yangzhou City. It is a pity that there are no generals in Yangzhou City. Even if there are generals, Xie Mingyu and others I'm afraid I don't dare to hand over the **.

That's why Xie Mingyu and the others had to lead a part of the troops separately. In this way, although they could barely ensure that the army would not be in chaos, the originally one army was suddenly divided into more than a dozen parts, and the result could be imagined.

A good army is divided into more than a dozen parts, and no one knows how much combat power it can have.

When Wang Shouren, who was at the foot of Yangzhou City, learned about the situation of Yangzhou City, he was in a hurry and ordered the army to attack the city.

In Yangzhou City, Xie Mingyu was the most powerful, and Xie Mingyu also led a young and strong team of [-] people, guarding the north gate of Yangzhou City.

Wang Shouren was staring at the north gate for a strong attack, and the siege battle was the most tragic, but Wang Shouren did not hesitate to lose and forcibly attacked the city.

The Xie family was guarding the north gate of Yangzhou City, but was targeted by Wang Shouren. It is conceivable that it took only half a day, and the Xie family suffered heavy losses.

Those are all tenants of their Xie family. If they lose, they will lose the strength of their Xie family. Although several other families have also sent people to help and defend the city.

But it is not realistic to want these people to work hard.

As a result, Yangzhou City lasted for less than a day and was breached at night.

The news that Yangzhou City was broken was naturally sent back to Nanjing City by Wang Shouren.

Xu Tianzuo reacted with just a moment's stun. Neither Dongchang nor Jinyiwei could deliver news slower than Wang Shouren sent someone to deliver the good news, not to mention the important news that Yangzhou City had been breached.

In Jiangnan, except for Nanjing City, that is, Yangzhou City, Suzhou City, etc., the number of rebels exceeds [-] people. five thousand.

With Nanjing City and Yangzhou City being breached, in fact, the Jiangnan Rebellion is drawing to a close.

Although it was said that he had already learned about the situation in Yangzhou City through the news from Jinyiwei, Chu Yi still scanned the good news at a glance.

This good news was naturally written by Wang Shouren himself, and it explained the situation of Yangzhou City in detail.
