In three days, more than 200 powerful families in Nanjing were taken down by all the gentry, almost clearing the houses of the gentry in Nanjing. Even if there were only a few left, there were only a few.

More than 200 families, plus their relatives, arrested more than 20,000 people. The prison in Nanjing could not accommodate so many prisoners at all. For this reason, Chu Yi sent people to build an open-air prison outside Nanjing to detain these criminals, and sent thousands of troops to take care of them in person.

If you search your house and get people, these powerful and powerful families can be said to be called wealthy families. Even if you are the smallest, you will have at least tens of thousands of taels of wealth if you take stock of their property.

This is the smallest gentry family among them. As for the top powerful families, they are all marquises and Counts awarded by the former court, which can be said to have been passed down for a hundred years.

When Nanjing City fell, there were only a few powerful people in Nanjing City who escaped. Nanjing City itself is a place where powerful people gathered together. Is it worth mentioning what choices would these powerful people make after King Ning enters Nanjing City?

Besides, these powerful people are huge and can be said to be intricate in the Jiangnan area. It is no exaggeration to say that these powerful people in Nanjing City have absolutely strong control.

Chu Yi wanted to open the sea and increase taxes, so he naturally stood opposite these people. Otherwise, these people would not have caused so many storms, and even did not hesitate to introduce the Ning King to try to change the dynasty.

The most top gentry and powerful family can easily confiscate millions of taels of wealth.

It was easy to catch people, and the speed of raiding the house was really not fast. For several days, Fang Li, Tang Bohu and others led people to raid the house almost day and night, and trucks of gold, silver and jewelry were pulled into the palace.

Several main halls in the imperial palace in Nanjing were vacated to store various property confiscated from the house confiscated. The continuous source of property was pulled into the palace. It can be said that in a few days, the carriages and horses transporting property never stopped.

Qi Hu was now cautiously walking into the study with a stack of classics, and saw Chu Yi sitting there looking through the information of the Jinyiwei.

After taking a few steps forward, Qi Hu carefully placed some of the classics obtained from the house search on the table.

Chu Yi put down the news from the Jinyiwei, looked up and glanced at the thick stack of classics on the table.

As someone around Chu Yi, Qi Hu naturally knew that Chu Yi had an extraordinary preference for the classics written by his sages and great scholars, so the people under Chu Yi were naturally very sensible and would carefully collect these classics.

Just during the days when the house was searched, more than a dozen classics were presented almost every day, and Chu Yi also gained considerable luck from these classics.

After looking at Qi Hu, Chu Yi said slowly: "Qi Hu, Fang Li, Tang Bohu and others handled it? Can the house search be completed?"

Qi Hu hurriedly said, "Go back to the governor, the house search has been completed. Now Fang Li and Tang Bohu are counting the income from the house search. I think it will be a result in not long before."

Chu Yi nodded slightly.

To be honest, Chu Yi didn't care much about the proceeds from the house search. As for how much property he could confiscate, Chu Yi could roughly guess it in his mind.

The south of the Yangtze River is prosperous, and most of the maritime merchants and gentry are in the south of the Yangtze River, let alone these gentry and powerful people in Nanjing.

I dare not say that the wealth gathered in Nanjing is probably greater than the wealth gathered in Beijing.

This time, he almost cleared out all the gentry and powerful people in Nanjing. It would be strange if he didn't plunder tens of millions of taels of silver.

Through maritime commerce, overseas silver has begun to flow into the Ming Dynasty. Although it has not reached its peak yet, a considerable part of this silver flowing into the Ming Dynasty has settled in the prosperous Jiangnan.

Unfortunately, these wealth did not fall into the hands of those people, but were concentrated in the hands of a few people. Needless to say, these powerful people and gentry occupied a considerable amount of wealth.

These gentry and powerful people have accumulated over the years. I don’t know that these wealth are covered with blood, but now they all fall into the hands of the court.

A burst of rapid footsteps came. Chu Yi looked at him and saw Xu Tianzuo walking quickly with a letter with a happy face. As soon as he entered the door, he said to Chu Yi with a happy face: "Master General, good news, good news!"

Chu Yi smiled slightly, looked at Xu Tianzuo and said, "It seems that the news of Wang Shouren breaking through Yangzhou City has arrived!"

Xu Tianzuo, who was originally happy, was stunned when he heard this, with a look of confusion on his face. The good news in his hand was the good news for breaking Yangzhou City from Wang Shouren sent people to quickly horses.

The Xie family, Mo family and more than a dozen families in Yangzhou City united to form a total of 20,000 to 30,000 rebels, occupying a land of Yangzhou. It can be said that they are the most powerful and the strongest among the many rebels that responded to King Ning.

Wang Shouren went south to quell the rebellion. Wherever he passed, it can be said that the forces of all sizes and large entrenched on one side were simply vulnerable and were easily pacified by Wang Shouren.

Just pushing over the whole way, Wang Shouren's troops became more and more soldiers. By the time he reached the city of Yangzhou, Wang Shouren's troops had even reached as many as 30,000.

The rebels formed by the gentry and the powerful were all recruited from the tenants. After Wang Shouren killed the gentry and the powerful, these tenants were naturally taken to the army by Wang Shouren.

Just like snowballing along the way, Wang Shouren gathered as many as 30,000 troops to kill Yangzhou City.

If Xie Mingyu and others say that they can make money or have a scheming of others, there are indeed not many people who can plot against them.

But to be honest, it was really too embarrassing for them to lead the army to fight.

Even if some of them had ever led a fleet to fight against pirates at sea, the pirates were pirates after all, and the conflict of such a large scale was only a fight between hundreds of people.

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

Xie Mingyu and others were in this situation. It seemed to be a huge momentum, and tens of thousands of people occupied Yangzhou City. Unfortunately, there were no talented generals in Yangzhou City. Even if there were talented generals, Xie Mingyu and others would not dare to hand over the power of the military.

So Xie Mingyu and the others had to command part of their troops. Although they could barely ensure that the army was not in chaos, the originally integrated army was divided into more than a dozen parts at once, and the result was imagined.

A good army was divided into more than a dozen parts, and no one knew how much combat power it could have.

Wang Shouren, who was at the Yangzhou City, learned about the situation in Yangzhou City and directly ordered the army to attack the city.

Xie Mingyu is the most powerful in Yangzhou City, and Xie Mingyu also led a young and strong team of 5,000 people, guarding the north gate of Yangzhou City.

Wang Shouren stared at the North Gate and attacked the city. The battle of siege was the most tragic, but Wang Shouren was not hesitant to lose money and forced the city to attack.

The Xie family guarded the north gate of Yangzhou City, but was targeted by Wang Shouren. It is conceivable that the Xie family suffered heavy losses in just half a day.

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

But it is not realistic to want these people to fight to the death.

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

The news that Yangzhou City was destroyed was naturally transmitted back to Nanjing City by Wang Shouren.

Xu Tianzuo was just a little stunned and realized that any Dongchang and Jinyiwei company would not pass messages at a speed that would be slower than Wang Shouren sent people to send good news, let alone the important news that Yangzhou City was broken.

In the south of the Yangtze River, in addition to Nanjing City, there are only a few big cities such as Yangzhou City and Suzhou City, the number of rebels exceeds 10,000. As for other county towns, even if there are many people, there are very few more than 3,000 or 5,000.

With the city of Nanjing and Yangzhou being captured, the rebellion in Jiangnan is actually coming to an end.

Although he had learned about the situation in Yangzhou City through the news from the Jinyiwei, Chu Yi still opened the good news and scanned it in one glance.

This good news was naturally written by Wang Shouren, who reported in detail the situation in Yangzhou City.

Chu Yi nodded slightly and praised: "What a great Wang Shouren. He is indeed extraordinary in military strategy. Now it seems that the rebellion in Jiangnan can be pacified in less than half a month!"

Xu Tianzuo couldn't help but say, "Thanks to the great general manager's keen eyes to recognize people. If it weren't for the great general entrusting the important tasks to Lord Wang, who would have known that Lord Wang actually has such talent as being a general and a prime minister."

Everyone knows that Wang Shouren is a civil servant, and it is Chu Yi's emphasis that he entrusts military power to him, which gives the famous Wang Shouren.

Wang Shouren's reputation has become famous all over the world with the rebellion of King Ning.

Although Wang Shouren was unable to quell the rebellion of Ning Wang in this life and gained great reputation, the momentum of Ning Wang's rebellion was extraordinary, and it affected most of the Jiangnan area. The impact caused was also extraordinary.

Chu Yi suppressed the rebellion of King Ning. It seemed normal for both the court and the people of the world. Wang Shouren's outstanding performance was the biggest highlight of King Ning's rebellion.

Before the reinforcements of the court arrived, Wang Shouren unified the local troops with his own ability, first defeated several generals under King Ning, and then seized the Ning King's nest in Nanchang City. Next, he went to Jiujiang to plunder Anqing. Now he swept across the rebels in Jiangnan like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves. He had at least dozens of wars of all sizes. It can be said that he had never suffered a defeat in a hundred battles.
