Kill the chicken and show it to the monkey!

Everyone is familiar with this move, but the result of all males being killed and female relatives being dismissed as camp prostitutes is simply horrifying.

Perhaps it was because of the arrogance that the gentry and wealthy families in Jiangnan never expected that this would be the result.

In their opinion, once a civil unrest arises, the general will inevitably compromise, just like officials over the years. In fact, over the years, no one has ever done this with the Ming Dynasty. Take Hai Rui as an example. He is tough enough. Ren Yingtian defeated the powerful when he was governor, but he was driven away in less than half a year.

The reason is that the literati and officials in the south of the Yangtze River have a huge influence in the court. If anyone dares to clear the fields and pursue the debts, then there are naturally some ways to get them out. If the censors don’t work, then they will use civil rebellion. In short, some ways are there.

If it's not soft, then it's hard.

But they obviously forgot that this master was not an ordinary official. Hai Rui was so strong, but he did not dare to kill people at any time, but this master not only dared to kill people, but also dared to set up another yamen.

"Double punishment should be used in troubled times. For today's chaos, bandits are everywhere, and civil unrest will continue. We should no longer be in the ordinary law. We should set up a case trial bureau to deal with the rioters specifically!"

Under Zhu Guoqiang's instructions, Nanjing established a case trial bureau, which specifically examined the gentry and households in various places who violated the investigation of military fields. All the servants and slaves who incited civilians and incited civilians to commit serious punishment. Of course, they could make meritorious contributions. As long as they were told to incite the people, they could not only get rid of the crime, but also be rewarded with 5 taels of silver. With such kindness and power, those people naturally offered their masters.

Following the old rules of the Li family, these inciting civil unrest naturally have a serious crime of "conspiracy". Whether it is the commander, a thousand households, or a hundred households, as long as they participate in it, they will catch one or kill one family. The houses will be confiscated and all their clans will be killed. Only the female family survived but they were beaten to be a prostitute.

For a moment, all the garrisons were in a panic, and even the entire Nanzhili were frightened by the tyrannical methods of this general!

"The master behind the scenes killed his whole family. Those who took the lead in causing trouble should be exiled as much as possible. Those who should be killed should be killed. Those who should be killed should be punished in troubled times. If you want peace in the world, you must be cruel and ruthless. You must handle the case with Shen, Han, and Shang Yang..."

Every time he faces the officials of the Case Review Bureau report, Zhu Guoqiang will reiterate his attitude.

Moreover, in order to achieve the effect of killing one to warn a hundred, he specially ordered people to make twenty station cages. The prisoner's head was stuck in a wooden shackle, stood in the station cage, pulled by a car during the day, paraded around the city. At night, it was placed in front of the case trial bureau and sent troops to guard it. It was not given food or drink. In less than three or four days, the prisoner would stand dead in the cage. These station cages were filled with prisoners every day and paraded in Nanjing every day, which made the people of the whole city frightened. For a moment, everyone was scared by such means.

The scholars and gentry demanded the abolition of the station cage to implement benevolent government, and flew to the Yingtian Governor's Office like snowflakes. Several people ran to Zhang Liang to complain and asked him to uphold justice.

Zhang Liang naturally sneered at their request. He even thought in his heart that you would ask me to be fair one by one. Wouldn't this put me on the fire? Why don't you ask the court?

In fact, they really asked the court for help through their respective channels, impeaching the brutality of the Pinglu General. But the problem is that the emperor is far away, and the court doesn't care about this at the moment!

Looking at the complaints who requested Shi Renzheng, Zhang Liang vaguely guessed in his heart that another possibility was the general's first move.

What will the general play the next move?

Just as Zhang Liang was thinking about the general's thoughts, a fast horse with the post flag and accompanied by the messenger's shout of "Eight Hundred Miles to Raise" and broke straight into the Nanjing city gate, and then the imperial edict was sent directly to the six ministries of Nanjing. Soon the imperial edict came from the capital.

"Your Majesty ordered the soldiers and horses of the world to serve the king!"

As soon as the imperial decree came, the whole Jiangnan was shocked. While they were shocked by the sudden change in the situation in the north, everyone's eyes lit up, and they suddenly realized the opportunity!

This is the opportunity to send the general out of Nanjing and Nanzhili!

As long as the general leaves Nanzhili, the Qingtian will naturally be in power. But the question is, how to send this "killer god" out of Nanjing.

That afternoon, Ma Shiying, the Minister of War in Nanjing, came to the General's Mansion. When he saw the General, he knelt down and kowtowed, and said excitedly:

"General, the enemy soldiers are close to the capital. Your Majesty issued an order to summon troops from all over the world to help the king. The general is in the hope of the subjects of the world. He also asked the general to send troops to the capital as soon as possible to help the king. Please do not let down the hearts of loyal ministers and righteous men in the world!"

Looking at Ma Shiying in front of him, Zhu Guoqiang had a smile on his face. He had a different view on the chief minister of the Hongguang Dynasty in history. When the Qing Dynasty went south, all the Nanjing ministers surrendered. The chief minister, who had no soldiers and soldiers, refused to surrender and fled to Zhejiang. After entering Hangzhou, he knew that Emperor Hongguang had been captured, so he discussed with the bureaucrats in Hangzhou to ask King Lu Zhu Changqing to supervise the country. Later, he continued to fight against the Qing Dynasty in the name of the Queen Mother and Zhu Changqing.

However, the latter immediately surrendered to the Qing army. Ma Shiying still did not give up and continued to lead his troops south. However, in the later Tang and Kings of Lu, he almost became a rat crossing the street, and no one valued him. He did not turn to the Qing side because of this, but tried his best to change his poor image in the past with practical actions against the Qing army until he was captured by the Qing army in Fujian. The Qing Dynasty documentary notes have many records of his death, but none of them mentioned that he wanted to surrender.

Regarding Ma Shiying, who heard that Zhao Zhilong, Qian Qianyi and others offered their doors to lead the crowd to surrender, and wrote a lot of numbers at the city gate, "Huang Duanbo, the head of the Ministry of Rites of Ming Dynasty, did not surrender." The evaluation of Huang Duanbo was very fair.

When interrogating Huang Duanbo, Duoduo asked:

"Ma Shiying, who is that?"

Huang Duanbo: "Ma Shiying is a loyal minister!"

Duoduo is both annoying and ridiculous, ask:

"Ma Shiying is a treacherous minister, how can he be loyal?"

Huang Duanbo said:

"Ma Shiying did not surrender and would be a loyal minister to join the Queen Mother in Zhejiang. On the contrary, Zhao Zhilong, Qian Qianyi and others who have shaved their hair and changed their clothes are unfaithful and unfilial."

Of course, this is not an excuse for Ma Shiying. He can only be considered a powerful minister of speculation. He did not handle the internal affairs of various factions well, resulting in internal chaos, constant party struggles, internal warlords strife, and self-consuming. But at least in the face of national justice, he was not ambiguity. On the contrary, his political enemies, Donglin Party, Reshe, and most of them surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. The most shameful thing is that they have the right to speak and pour dirty water on Ma Shiying. Of course, there are also hard bones in the Donglin Party, such as Huang Daozhou and others.

But compared to the Ming Dynasty, people are indeed much better than many people in terms of national justice.

After Zhu Guoqiang arrived in Nanjing, Ma Shiying cooperated with him. In fact, the more people with the reputation of being a treacherous minister, the more they became aware of the current affairs.

Now that he saw him coming to his door and begging him to send troops to help the king, Zhu Guoqiang nodded.

"Sima please get up quickly, please get up quickly!"

Hurry up and helped Ma Shiying up, Zhu Guoqiang choked and said,

"I am also the descendant of Emperor Gao. How can I tolerate thieves and take over the Ming Dynasty? Even if you don't come to ask me, I will send troops to help the king. I know that everyone in the world thinks I am a treacherous hero, and I expect that I will definitely sit idly by and watch the capital fall. But if this is the case, wouldn't I let the hopes of the scholars and people in the world be despised for thousands of years!"

The general's answer surprised Ma Shiying.

"I wonder when the general will send troops?"

"Of course, the soldiers must be sent, but now all the soldiers and horses under my command are not around. Even if they send troops, it may take some time?"

Zhu Guoqiang said with some annoyance.

"And, now that we are dispatching troops to fight, we still need to prepare food, grass, money and money. Can these be done day and night?"

"General, my subordinates have a way to prepare all the money, food and supplies needed within three days!"

"Three days?"

Zhu Guoqiang was surprised.

Ma Shiying quickly smiled and said, taking a step back,

"General, as long as you are willing to send troops to serve the king, Zhejiang Nan, I don't know how many people will be willing to pay the money and food."

"Oh? What's going on?"

Zhu Guoqiang said curiously.

"Don't the general know that for those people, only if you can leave Jiangnan, they can sleep peacefully. In order to send you away, they are naturally willing to pay the money. Therefore, the subordinates are ready to squeeze out a sum of money from them."

Looking at Ma Shiying in front of him, Zhu Guoqiang suddenly said with a smile.

"Okay, your mother is adapting. It turns out that you want to make money in my name! Aren't you afraid that I will cure you?"

"The general is dedicated to his country and does not hesitate to offend the powerful. Although the subordinates blackmailed those people in the name of the world's general, these silver is used to save the country and country of the Ming Dynasty. Please rest assured, I will never be greedy for a penny."

It’s not that Ma Shiying doesn’t want to be greedy, but because he doesn’t dare, because he knows the character of this general. If he is really greedy, he may not be able to save his life by then.

But if you do this job well, you will naturally be favored by the general.

With the favor of this general, the future will naturally be bright. Ma Shiying is very clear about who is more important.

Looking at Ma Shiying who was swearing in front of him, Zhu Guoqiang felt a little emotional.

What is a loyal minister and a treacherous minister? At least the person in front of him is absolutely no loyal minister in history.

But at least since arriving in Jiangnan, this famous treacherous minister has cooperated with him. As for those so-called gentlemen, it is God's blessing to be able to not make trouble in private.

If you use the treacherous minister well, you may not necessarily become a loyal minister, but you will definitely become a good knife.

After thinking about it, Zhu Guoqiang looked at him and said.

"Hey, if my Ming ministers were like you, how could this Ming Dynasty have reached this point? Fortunately, I have a great loyal minister like you who is diligent in national affairs..."
