Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 202 Qingsu Jiangnan
Qian Qianyi was driven by two soldiers, and was so frightened that he burst into tears. When he saw Zheng Chenggong, he couldn't help crying: "Da Mu, His Royal Highness King Ying! I, Qian Muzhai, have a heart for Daming! I even wrote to you I have sent letters and reported the military situation in Jiangnan, and I have also sent money to the rebels in Jiangnan to support them!"

Zheng Sen shook his head, and said to Qian Qianyi: "Master Qian, I also want to believe that you have a heart for Daming. I have already submitted your letter to the prince to supervise the country. It’s a fact, and the money rat tail on the back of your head, this king thinks it’s more glaring than a lot of evidence.”

Qian Qianyi rolled his eyes and couldn't stand still.

Wang Fangdan was also sad in his heart, he hesitated for a moment, stepped forward to salute Zheng Chenggong again, and said: "His Royal Highness, Mr. Mu Zhai is old, I, Wang Fangdan, have been taught by Mr. Mu Zhai, can I replace you today?" What's wrong with Mr.

Liu Rushi had been standing by the gate just now, but when she came down at this moment, she said to Zheng Chenggong, "Wang Fangdan has already severed his friendship with Mu Zhai. If he can take the blame, let the fool do it."

Zheng Chenggong sighed, and said: "You two don't have to be like this. Your Highness respects the rule of law of the Ming Dynasty. Such a thing as taking a crime is illegal and absolutely impossible. The reason why the crown prince is in the south of the Yangtze River is to make a gesture. The loyal ones will be given titles and rewards, and they will be honored for generations; those who defected to the country will lose face and be cast aside by everyone. This is roughly the effect. After all, Master Qian is more than seventy years old, so he should not be executed."

Qian Qianyi almost lost his temper when he heard this. Zheng Chenggong only said that he would not be executed, so he might be rewarded with a rope or poisoned wine.However, Zheng Chenggong had actually heard from Bai Mingxiu that for traitors like Qian Qianyi, he should be dealt with according to the circumstances, and those who helped the Qing Dynasty to work for tigers would be killed directly; , the family property was confiscated, and distributed to remote Xuanweisi colonies, mainly Burma, Yabai and Java.

Zheng Chenggong said to Liu Rushi again: "Madam, the assets and properties of the Qian family also need to be confiscated."

Liu Rushi was already in despair, but she still looked very strong. She looked at Qian Qianyi, who had no human appearance, and sighed: "If a foolish husband loses his morals, what kind of face do I have to live, I just die."

Zheng Chenggong really couldn't bear to see this strange woman committing suicide, so he said, "Madam, don't do this, the charges on Master Qian are very likely to be issued, if no one is around to take care of you..."

Everyone knows that although Qian Qianyi is an old dog, Liu Rushi is very upright, otherwise he would not have persuaded Qian Qianyi to jump into the lake together to die for his country.Even though Qian Qianyi had all sorts of problems, Liu Rushi never left him, and supported the family amid all kinds of scorn and exclusion from the Qian family.Even in history, after Qian Qianyi's death, relatives of the Qian family came to the door to seize the wealth of the Qian family, and the staunch Liu Rushi directly hanged himself at the door of the house, deterring the greedy relatives.

In the end, the soldiers put a seal on the gate of the Qian Mansion, and dozens of members of the Qian family, including Liu Rushi, were also taken away.In name, although only Qian Qianyi was arrested, in actual operation, Bai Mingxiu told the subordinates that if the family property was confiscated, the whole family should be packed up and taken away. Anyway, there are shortages of people in several of his colonies.

Wang Fangdan originally proposed to take him away as well, but was scolded bloody by Liu Rushi. Liu Rushi told him to go to Nanjing Guozijian to be a good official and benefit the people.

Wang Fangdan watched the Qian family being taken away crying. In the next few days, he saw similar things in different states and counties. The arrested person may not have the same status as his teacher Qian Qian. The benefits were so high that many landlords and bullies who were nothing more than countrymen were arrested in one go.

In the end, the scale of Jiangnan's purge activities was a bit beyond Bai Mingxiu's own imagination. In fact, he didn't have a general idea at the beginning, how many people would be arrested and distributed.But his standard is very clear, that is, those who treason to the enemy, those who cooperate with the Manchu Qing to do evil, and even the evil gentry and bullies who oppress the people are all within the scope of his attack.

Many days later, Bai Mingxiu was a little dumbfounded when he looked at the "Battle Results Report", "How many tens of thousands of people have been arrested?"

Zheng Chenggong, who is mainly responsible for this task, is very similar to Bai Mingxiu in some aspects. Zheng Chenggong has a particularly strong sense of morality, and he is also black and white, and he does not tolerate sand in his eyes.Therefore, when Zheng Chenggong carried out Bai Mingxiu's order, he did not compromise at all.He himself is not related to Jiangnan Shilin, and he is the respect of a prince, so no one can ask him for it.

Therefore, Zheng Chenggong handled it almost according to the level of the "Lanyu case" and "Hu Weiyong case" during the Hongwu Emperor's time, and a large number of people were brought out as soon as he took action.

Bai Mingxiu put down the list, thought for a while, and said, "Actually, I have two main purposes for doing this. One is to serve as an example to others, and to restore the values ​​of morality and shame in Jiangnan and even the entire Ming Dynasty. Traitors will be severely punished, and loyal ones will be praised." , we Chinese people must always hold our chests upright, and put justice for the country and the people first in matters of life and death; secondly, the problem of land concentration and land annexation in Jiangnan is too serious, and the poor have no place to stand. Although there are a lot of people here The people here are very accustomed to engaging in handicrafts, industry and commerce, which is convenient for us to promote industrialization in the future, but the primary industry in the Jiangnan area must also be developed, and agricultural cooperation still needs to be carried out, so we must acquire land."

Zheng Chenggong followed Bai Mingxiu for a period of time, and gradually understood a lot of "new learning" terms. He said: "This time, the confiscated land has released a total of 200 million mu. If we talk about dividing the land, it should be enough."

Bai Mingxiu asked again: "How do people in the south of the Yangtze River react to our purge?"

Zheng Sendao: "Overall, it's quite positive. What we're attacking are those with clear evidence of guilt, and there's no such thing as private revenge or pocketing. In addition, the rewards and punishments are clear. Your Highness conferred some titles and rewarded them a lot. Although those rebels and traitors were hit hard, the people also clapped their hands and applauded. Some of the gentry class were somewhat panicked, but they dared not make any rash moves."

Bai Mingxiu sighed, and said: "This point is probably the 'result' left by the Tartars. The Three Great Jiangnan Cases have completely wiped out the Jiangnan gentry. Although the Ming Dynasty has been restored now, our methods are also very cool. Compared with the Tartars, they are not necessarily gentle. Even the disaffected gentry would never want to end up like Qian Qianyi at this time, and would not dare to speak out. The Tartars were afraid of punishing them. Now when I clean them up, I'm just as afraid."
