At this time, Wei Zhifu even wanted to die, but he did not dare to die. He could only say in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, although those foreign barbarians are barbaric, they are still very docile in Yangzhou. I want to come They shouldn¡¯t dare to act arrogantly in my heavenly kingdom!¡±
"What a bastard!" Zhu Youxiao angrily shouted: "You don't understand that people who are not from my race will have different hearts? These foreigners dare to travel thousands of miles across the sea in order to make money. Don't they just see money? Come on, let¡¯s take action on you Yangzhou City? You pig-brained person, if I hadn¡¯t met you today, I wouldn¡¯t have known that you had given the empire¡¯s granary and treasury to the mouths of those foreigners. As long as they took one bite, they could Tear a chunk of fat off the empire!¡±
Prefect Wei did not dare to refute Zhu Youxiao's words, so he could only lie on the ground and kowtow, repeatedly talking about guilt and atonement and other nonsense!
Zhu Youxiao saw that this man was really useless and was unwilling to say more to him. He directly said to Qiao Wangjin: "Draw up the decree!"
Qiao Wangjin immediately took out his leather notebook and pencil, waiting to record Zhu Youxiao's will!
Zhu Youxiao pondered for a moment and said: "First, remove the Yangzhou magistrate, strictly investigate his illegal activities, and deal with them according to law after verification. Second, order Xu Hongji, Duke of Wei, the Minister of War in Nanjing, to gather 30,000 troops from the Jiangnan Guards Station and control all areas along the river and Coastal land. Third, issue the "Firearms Ban Order". All foreign barbarians who land in our Ming Empire are not allowed to carry weapons. Anyone who violates the order will be killed. Fourth, order the fleet to come to Yangzhou to clean up the troubles of foreign barbarians. , I want to start with Yangzhou!"
After Qiao Wangjinji finished recording, he asked: "Your Majesty, what should we do with Count Reina and his crew?"
Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said: "That Count Reina has been beheaded, all property confiscated, and all his crew members have been captured and made into slaves!"
Qiao Wangjin added these again, and after checking that there were no omissions, presented the book to Zhu Youxiao!
Zhu Youxiao read it over and stamped it directly. This simple decree was effective!
Qiao Wangjin took the cowhide book and put it away, and asked people to take Magistrate Wei and Aunt Yun out. Of course, Magistrate Wei was now guilty, and Aunt Yun would get 50,000 taels of silver. As for her future No one cares what you do!
On the other hand, the unlucky Count Reina wanted to say something when he saw Magistrate Wei's affairs again, but Qiao Wangjin carried him out like a chicken and chopped off his head with a knife. However, this was already a trivial matter that no one wanted to ask about. !
After Zhu Youxiao¡¯s edict was issued, the entire southern part of the Ming Empire was like a calm water surface being hit by a huge boulder. Suddenly, there was a panic!
First, the Six Ministries and Nine Ministers in Nanjing were fully expecting Zhu Youxiao's arrival, but suddenly they got the news that the emperor was attacked by foreign musketeers in Yangzhou. Although the holy body was intact, the majestic emperor of the Ming Empire, He was invincible in the grasslands and deserts, but he was attacked in the south of the Yangtze River!
This kind of news is equivalent to giving Jiangnan officials a loud and crisp mouth. Xu Hongji, the Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing and Wei Guogong, immediately flipped the table when he heard the news and mobilized 30,000 guards as quickly as possible. Soldiers, took control of the major ports and cities in Jiangnan!
Lu Qingping, the eunuch guarding Nanjing, was not idle either. He immediately set off for Yangzhou with a group of eunuchs and maids. At the same time, he ordered the Dongchang fans scattered in the south to monitor all Europeans in the Ming Dynasty. Anyone with evil intentions could be arrested. Kill on the spot!
Due to the attack on Zhu Youxiao, there was no obstacle to the enforcement of the "Firearms Ban Order". Even when the Nanjing Ministry of War mobilized the garrison troops to control important areas in the south of the Yangtze River, no one dared to talk nonsense! This could be said to be impossible in the past, because after Zhu Di, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, moved his capital to Beijing, the area south of the Yangtze River was gradually controlled by civil servant groups, so much so that the Ming court wanted to collect more grain from the south. One tael of silver is extremely difficult!
In later history, after the Chongzhen Dynasty was completely controlled by the Donglin Party, scholars and wealthy businessmen almost no longer had to bear taxes, so that Emperor Chongzhen had to tax poor farmers again and again, which eventually led to the collapse of the entire northern Ming Dynasty. Crash!
But now Zhu Youxiao has completed the military control of the Jiangnan area of ??the Ming Dynasty with lightning speed just by relying on a single incident without any danger!
Under the banner of attacking the emperor and punishing the foreign barbarians, although the Jiangnan scholars felt that something was wrong, they could not find any reason to resist, because among the doctrines of the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Constant Virtues they preached, the king was the only human being in heaven and earth. head!
Now that Zhu Youxiao has been attacked by foreign barbarians, does anyone dare to jump out and stop Zhu Youxiao from seeking revenge from those foreigners?
"If someone does this, I believe that the common people can take care of these people who have no king and no father without the help of factory guards."I'm so torn!
Leisure Garden!
This is the name that Zhu Youxiao changed to Qingyun Residence. It has no special artistic conception, it just means leisurely and elegant!
Today's Xianya Garden has been renovated by expert craftsmen. Although the layout of the entire garden has not changed, the original smoke and powder atmosphere has gone away, replaced by a solemn and quiet feeling!
After the Nanjing garrison eunuch Lu Qingping arrived with the eunuch maid, he immediately took over the role of serving Zhu Youxiao, and also allowed the eunuch, who had never met the emperor, to show his face in front of Zhu Youxiao!
Wang Shitou, the head of the Royal Commercial Bank, even invested 200,000 taels of silver to buy all the gardens and land around Xianya Garden. Construction work is underway on a full 20 acres of land to build a royal garden for Zhu Youxiao!
Zhu Youxiao originally disagreed with this, but Wang Shitou knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, saying that this was his filial piety and all the money was his own. He also said that if he was not allowed to fulfill his filial piety, he would definitely return home. He was going to be beaten to death by Lao Wang An!
Zhu Youxiao could only smile helplessly at this, and only told him to follow the rules and not bully the market in the name of the royal family, so he let him go!
As for the fact that Wang Shitou could take out 200,000 taels of silver at a time, Zhu Youxiao ignored it at all. The grand boss of the Royal Commercial Bank had to have 3.5 million taels of silver for a year, and it was only 200,000 taels of silver. What kind of?
Zhu Youxiao is even sure that if Wang Shitou brings this matter to Lao Wang An to report the good news, he will definitely let Lao Wang An deal with it!
The reason is for no other reason than the lack of money!
"But Zhu Youxiao will not remind Wang Shitou about this, otherwise he may cause trouble. At worst, when he is dealt with in the future, just give him a few good words!"
"Your Majesty is sitting here, and everything in the south of the Yangtze River is under control. I really admire these veteran strategists!" Fang Congzhe dropped a sunspot and complimented with a smile!
"What kind of strategy is this?" Zhu Youxiao dropped a white letter and said: "In the past, Jiangnan was difficult to govern because the Jiangnan scholars were powerful, and the ministers were willing to let them take the lead in fighting the court. This time I went to Jiangnan to rectify it. The unhealthy trend in Jiangnan, but I was lucky enough to find an excuse when I arrived in Yangzhou. Under the thunderous power of the imperial court, what else can those literate scholars in Jiangnan dare to say?"
"Haha!" Regarding Zhu Youxiao's disparagement of literati, Fang Congzhe could only smile awkwardly, dropped the sunspot in his hand and said, "But how does your Majesty plan to understand the affairs of Jiangnan?"
"This is easy!" Zhu Youxiao pinched the chess pieces and said with a sneer: "Take this opportunity to reorganize the Wei Suo Army into Nanzhen Fusi Jinyi Guards to replace the Yamen, and then recruit officers and guards on the spot. Army, the official army will recruit 100,000 first, the Guards will recruit 30,000, and there will be 130,000 troops to guard Jiangnan. I believe things in Jiangnan will be much smoother in the future!"
After saying that, Zhu Youxiao fell down and directly blocked Fang Congzhe's big dragon! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
