Chapter 376
Now the Ming army is no longer the Ming army that was originally, they are all loyal guards who defend the Ming Dynasty.
There were not many local civil servants who used to act. As long as they were not guilty of the great crimes, officials who still made some contributions to the local area were still there.
But all military officers have been replaced by Zhu Youjian, and some of them are good at fighting, including hundreds and thousands of households, most of whom are summoning soldiers.
These generals have no doubt about Zhu Youjian's loyalty. They are themselves for the service of the host.
Even though he knew the corruption of the Ming army, Zhu Youjian could not let the army be in the hands of the two ministers in history.
After Qinglong arrived in Jinling, he immediately requisitioned the troops under the command of Jiangsu.
After receiving the signal, the troops divided into three groups to start to eliminate the rioters.
Don’t underestimate these southern gentry. They are behind the Ming civil servant group and are no less harmful to the Ming Dynasty than bandits.
Without internal strife from civil servants, it would be impossible for them to be a storm, either bandits or eastward hijacking.
At Qinglong's order, the cavalry immediately pulled out their combat swords, bypassed the officials who were knocked to the ground and rushed towards the rebellious crowd.
There are many gentry people, most of them are literati. Although they are protected by servants, they cannot block the impact of cavalry.
The cavalry rushed up, and the war horses instantly knocked hundreds of people away. Most of the gentry was broken by the war horses, and the scene was in chaos.
The gentry who could still move got up from the ground in a mess and shouted:
"Don't you guys know that we are all scholars? What you do today will make scholars feel heartbroken. Daming is dangerous. Today's affairs are not over. The court must give the scholars all over the world an explanation."
In the past, the literati of the Ming Dynasty had a very high status, and the third-rank military officers had to pay tribute to them when they met the fifth-rank civil servants.
This also cultivated the gentry's pampering arrogance, and still cannot recognize the form. This demonstration was also initiated to seize power.
In their hearts, the gentry of the Ming Dynasty is the group that should be maintained the most. As for national security, no matter how important their selfish interests are.
Qinglong laughed wildly:
"Hahaha? It's a huge joke. Will the Ming Dynasty collapse without scholars? When bandits are in trouble in the east? Why don't you come out to spit them to death? A group of ignorant corrupt scholars are still rampant until they die, kill them!"
Qinglong gave the order? The knights immediately pulled out their battle swords? They urged the horses to rush over, raised their swords and fell to the ground with their heads.
The scene was filled with the sound of swords entering the flesh and the screams of the gentry? It was soon killed and blood flowed into a river.
Just now, he was unscrupulous and didn't even care about the gentry? He began to cry for his father and mother and run around.
Qinglong and several Jinyiwei dismounted and helped the governor Zhu Yinxi and others up.
"Sir, you are too risky, should you protect yourself? They are all in a state of madness."
Zhu Yinxi saw those gentry enjoying the tyranny of the cavalry attack? He was very happy.
But there are some concerns:
"Mr. Commander? Isn't this too bloody? They are all scholars of the Ming Dynasty!"
Feeling cold snorted:
"Sir, do they look like scholars when they suppress and robbed you? And do they look like scholars when they beat you officials just now?
The Lord said that they were all cancers of the Ming Dynasty? This commander was ordered to clear out the rioters? You should avoid it immediately? Otherwise you will be implicated."
The Qinglong China has not yet fallen? The horse has already flew forward like a horse? The Jinyiwei behind him also followed like a gust of wind.
Seeing Qinglong leave, Zhu Yinxi turned around and said to the officials:
"Let's go? Go back and check if the officials who ran away just now had corruption."
When Qinglong cleared out the gentry of Jinling, Wuxi, where Donglin Academy is located, was also hit by the gentry in a mess.
As the headquarters of the Donglin Party? The demonstrations here are even more crazier.
Not only did they smash, loot and burn, but many people even became targets of their attack.
Not only were there gentry in the crowd? The servants in their families also participated, and the prosperous southern commercial and trade area almost turned into a hell.
Along the way of their demonstration, as soon as they saw someone coming and going, they would immediately go up and beat them up, and all their finances were stolen.
If you make a little resistance, you will immediately be beaten with bloodier storms. They don’t look like scholars.
Walking forward is the location of the government office. At this time, they are even more crazy and are ready to attack the prefect's government office.
Suddenly, a team appeared on the road they were moving forward, with a small number of people, with more than 200 people in college.
All of these people held flintlock rifles, and the person in charge was a handsome and handsome man with a slender figure and a white face.
I saw this man wearing a flying fish suit, and was looking at the demonstrators rushing towards them with both hands, and spoke coldly:
"Stop all, disband immediately and stay home and stay honestly, otherwise today will be your festival next year."
When this person spoke, his tone was extremely cold, giving people a feeling that it was so cold that it was to the bone.
It was Yuhuatian, the governor of the West Factory of the Ming Dynasty. He also served as the anti-custody of customs smuggling and supervising the corruption of officials.
Yu Huatian doesn’t talk much and is always taciturn, but he is very low-key and never fights for power and profit.
Generally, eunuchs always speak in a sharp voice, because they have no descendants and attach great importance to money, fame and fortune.
But Yuhuatian is an alternative among eunuchs. Not only can they not be seen as eunuchs, but they also regard money, fame and fortune as dirt.
There were more than 20,000 people marching and demonstrating, and of course they were not afraid of the 200 people who made the fields.
As for Yuhuatian and their firearms in hand, the gentry didn't care at all.
It’s not that they are not afraid of firearms, but that they don’t believe that Yu Huatian dares to shoot.
Of course they didn't know that the person opposite would be Yu Huatian, the governor of the West Factory.
"Hahaha, have you heard it? They asked us to stop. Only these big-headed soldiers dared to come out and mess around. It was ridiculous. They rushed over and snatched their firearms..."
Under the instigation of some people, the crowd began to rush towards Yu Huatian and others.
I dare not shoot, and I will not frown even if I kill them all.
Seeing these unknowing rioters who were ignorant of their existence, they didn't care about their existence at all. Some people even shouted to grab the gun. Yu Huatian waved his right arm violently:
"Three rows of shots in a row, shoot!"
"Bang bang bang bang..."
Yu Huatian waved his hand and the gunshots instantly rang out, and two hundred soldiers stood in six rows to shoot continuously.
A volley shot down, and the gentry who rushed in front fell down instantly.
"shot"
"Bang bang bang bang..."
Gunshots continued to sound, and two hundred flintlocks shot in turn.
The gentry caused trouble also fell in rows with gunfire and was soon killed by nearly a thousand people.
I saw my companions falling down one by one, some of them were blown up in their heads and some of them were punched through their stomachs.
The gentry finally realized the fear at this moment and turned around and ran away desperately.
But soon another stampede occurred, and casualties occurred again.
Seeing the gentry crying and shouting for their parents to flee in a panic, Yu Huatian snorted coldly:
"Hmph, if you want to run away, it's not that simple. You think you want to make a fuss." If you don't want to make a fuss, go home and continue to enjoy the salary given to you by the Ming Dynasty."
Before the rain could fall, a cavalry broke out from behind the gentry.
