Traveling through the late Ming Dynasty: I have a super system

On May 13, 24th year of Tianqi, Lin Yuhao led the silent cavalry who had been dressed in ordinary equipment and entered Shanhaiguan.

Gao Di heard the report from his subordinates, and immediately came to wait outside the gate of Governor Ji Liao's residence.

As soon as he led the team to escort the intercepted grain to the entrance of the street, Lin Yuhao saw Mr. Gaodi waiting anxiously at the gate of the governor's mansion with three yamen servants.

So Lin Yuhao took a step ahead and drove his horse to Gaodi.

Immediately after dismounting from his horse, Lin Yuhao bowed to Gaodi and said, "I pay my respects to the supervisor."

Gao Dixu raised his left hand and said: "Lord Lin, please tell me how things are going."

Since I received a letter from Lin Yuhao, saying that a military operation will be organized against the establishment of slaves in northern Liaoning in the near future.

Gao Di was very excited, thinking that he had achieved political achievements as soon as he took office.In this heart, don't mention how happy I am.

Lin Yuhao pointed to the grain transportation team: "Master Supervisor, look. This is the grain we intercepted from Shanxi merchant Fan's family and will be bought by Liaobei Jiannu."

"This batch of grain totaled [-] shi. The lower officials made their own decisions and distributed [-] shi to the deputy general. The remaining [-] shi, I plan to keep in Shanhaiguan."

"Help Master Superintendent to relieve the disaster victims and relieve the pressure on food supply."

Hearing this, Gao Yi laughed and said, "Okay, that's great. It's only a big deal to deal with [-] shi of grain privately. You don't have to worry about this, I will take care of it for you."

"These unscrupulous profiteers are still helping Jiannu deliver food. They really deserve to die, and the nine clans should be exterminated."

"Lord Lin, don't worry, I will write a note on this matter. Explain to His Majesty that these Shanxi merchants who collaborate with the enemy and betray the country must be severely punished."

On May 13, 27th year of Tianqi, Manzhu Xili led a hundred men to Shanhaiguan.

Here, he met Lin Yuhao.Introduced by Lin Yuhao, they paid a visit to Gao Di, the newly appointed governor of Ji Liao.

Manzhu Xili saluted Gao Di respectfully and said: "Ji Manzhu Xili on Horqin Xiaotai, I have met Gao Dushi."

Gao Yi said solemnly and solemnly: "Master Taiji, please forgive me."

Manzhu Xili leaned over and cupped his hands, and reported to Gaodihui: "Master Gao, we Horqin tribe. According to the news sent by Mr. Lin, we ambushed and wiped out the receivers sent by Jiannu at the rear banner of Horqin's left wing."

"Five 210 heads of real slaves, and 570 four heads of coated slaves of the Han people."

"I've brought these gains now. It's just outside the gate of the Governor's Mansion, please send someone to inspect it."

As soon as I heard that the receivers on Jianu's side were all wiped out.

Gaudí was very happy, things are only perfect at this point!
Gao Di said with a smile on his face: "Okay, that's great. Your department is really loyal to me, the Ming Dynasty!"

"Master Taiji, please rest assured that your ministry has gained a lot from this attack. The head reward will be given to you a lot, and I will report your achievements to the Holy One and ask the Holy Majesty to reward you."

When Manzhu Xili heard this, he bowed happily and said: "Thank you, Master Superintendent."

The letter of introduction seized from Fan Yongming on June 13, [-].It was sent to the capital by Lin Yuhao, and Sun Chengzong, the second assistant of the cabinet, was sent to the imperial court on his behalf.

Emperor Tianqi read this letter of introduction from Jiannu of Liaobei to Jiexiu's Fan family.

Immediately trembling with anger, he cursed angrily: "Okay, that's really great. I'm working hard in the capital, and I want to rejuvenate my Ming Dynasty."

"However, under my rule, there are still Lizhu of this kind of country. For their own selfish desires, they did not hesitate to collude with Jiannu. They transported a total of [-] shi of grain and sold them to make money."

"These Shanxi merchants are very good, really great. If I don't confiscate all of them, how can I be worthy of those soldiers who sacrificed for the country."

After calming down a bit, Emperor Tianqi immediately ordered Dongchang and Jinyiwei to jointly investigate the influence of Shanxi Shanxi merchants in the court.

All these officials were arrested and tortured in Zhao Prison, and then the military and political officials at all levels in Xuanfu Town, Datong Town and Taiyuan were replaced.

Emperor Tianqi planned to dispatch [-] new troops from the Beijing camp and [-] brocade guards to Shanxi to arrest collaborators from Shanxi merchants.Emperor Apocalypse has only one requirement for these collaborating Shanxi merchants.

Confiscated all their property and exterminated all their nine clans.

Under the order of Emperor Tianqi, all Jinyiwei and Dongchang fanzi lurking in the capital.Immediately upon hearing the news, he acted and investigated all the officials of the capital who were closely related to Shanxi merchants.

Those who make mistakes must be emphasized, and those who have made great achievements must be rewarded.

Although Lin Yuhao disposed of the seized [-] shi of grain privately, he did meritorious service after all.

Emperor Tianqi decreed that Lin Yuhao was rewarded with 300 taels of silver.Reward the cavalry under Lin Yuhao's command, 30 taels of silver each.

The Horqin tribe in the grassland captured the head of the real slaves and wiped out the delivery team of Jiannu.It also made great contributions, so Emperor Tianqi rewarded Manzhu Xili with 1000 taels of silver for himself, and each of the cavalry under his command rewarded 50 taels of silver.

In addition, Manzhu Xili was awarded the title of Ao Han Bo.

The Jinyiwei system in the capital city and the latent personnel in the East Factory have been developed for nearly ten years.It is already several times stronger than the early years of the apocalypse.

Therefore, their work efficiency is also very high.

In just five days, all the officials who had been placed in the capital by Shanxi merchants were removed.Even other officials in Beijing who had private contacts with these officials were also arrested.

Suddenly, Jin Yiwei Ti rode out to arrest people everywhere.

These officials, whether they are at home, working in their own offices, eating in restaurants, or having fun in Fireworks and Willow Lane.

They will all be found by Jin Yiwei Tiqi, and after being captured, they will be sent directly to the Imperial Prison.

On June [-]th, when Grand Duke Wei made a mission report to Emperor Tianqi.

A total of 250 officials from below the third rank to above the sixth rank were arrested, and 73 of them were officials placed in the imperial court by Shanxi merchants.

Among them, the one with the highest rank is Wang Zhaozhe, the fourth rank of Zuoqian capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

When these people were arrested, the crimes they had committed.They were also pulled out one by one by Jin Yiwei and submitted to the emperor for reading.

Looking at the serious crimes committed by these officials one after another.Emperor Tianqi cursed angrily: "You guys bullied me too much, do you really think the knife in my hand is not sharp enough?"

After losing his temper, Emperor Tianqi issued a decree: All arrested officials will have their homes and families wiped out.Their embezzlement proceeds, gold and silver were taken back to the treasury, fields were distributed to the people for cultivation, and all real estate was sold.

The officials in the capital and those who should be arrested have all been arrested.Then there was only one thing left: a cleansing operation in Shanxi.

Starting from June 13, [-]th year of Tianqi, throughout the territory of Shanxi.

From Shanxi Buzhengshisi, the prefects of Shanxi Province, the prefects of each prefecture, and the prefects of various counties.Down to the eighth-rank official, up to the right minister of the second rank.

A total of 320 civilian officials, large and small, were arrested and detained by Jin Yiwei and officers and soldiers of the Beijing Camp New Army.

The garrisons in various parts of Shanxi range from garrisons to military towns and military forts.All officers from the general banner to the level of Qianhu were arrested.

Individual officers of the border town garrison who tried to resist were shot and killed on the spot by soldiers of the Beijing Camp New Army.

In Datong Town, Xuanfu Town, and Taiyuan, all the generals above the rank of Commander of the Guards.Including the guerrillas, the generals, and the commander-in-chief, they were all replaced by people who were trusted by Emperor Tianqi.

The arrest operation continued until June 23, civil and military officials in Shanxi.A total of 720 people were arrested, and Jinyiwei and the new Jingying army also temporarily took over various traffic arteries in Shanxi.

With the umbrella of Shanxi merchants in Shanxi, it was disintegrated by the imperial court in one fell swoop.

The Eight Great Shanxi Merchants, who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, ushered in their doomsday.

Beginning on June 25th, the Eight Great Merchants of Shanxi Merchants will be in just one day.At the same time, it was destroyed by the imperial court, and all Shanxi merchants who collaborated with the enemy were arrested.

Even the interrogation procedure was omitted, and they were executed immediately upon arrest.

On July 13, [-], Grand Duke Wei reported to Emperor Tianqi again on the completion of the cleansing operation in Shanxi.

A total of 780 people were beheaded, 730 taels of gold, more than 670 taels of silver, various jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings were confiscated, and the value of the rest of the land and houses is still under evaluation.

They also found more than [-] letters in collusion between the eight major Shanxi merchants and Jiannu.

Emperor Tianqi, who had listened to Grand Duke Wei's report, was already so angry that he didn't know what to say.

After a while, Emperor Tianqi opened his mouth and said: "Convey this incident to the people of the country, and at the same time make a statement. If someone dares to collude with slavery and betray the interests of the country. The knife in my hand does not mind seeing some blood again."

Hearing Emperor Tianqi's icy tone, Grand Duke Wei immediately knelt down and bowed down and said, "Observe the decree, servant girl will do it now."

So far, the Eight Great Masters of Shanxi Merchants who have been doing harm to Shanxi for many years and betraying the interests of the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years have been completely wiped out.

The case involved is so big that it is comparable to the three major cases in the early Ming Dynasty.

Because in this case, a total of 240 people were executed, and 230 people were imprisoned for life.

In this case, the imperial court ransacked the house to obtain gold and silver.Added together, they are: 6 seven taels of gold, and more than 340 taels of silver.

This brought huge income to the imperial treasury, enough for Emperor Tianqi to invest more money in the construction of his direct army.
