Chongzhen Undergraduates

In this era, it is simply impossible to play the solemn and silent scene of later generations without a loudspeaker.

So in this ceremony, Zhu Youjian played with venting hatred, with outbursts, with the backlog of indignation in his heart.

Zhu Youjian lifted the inscription, and at this time he was the only one standing on the steps of the stele.There are three levels of this stele, he retreated to the second level, and then took a big horn handed over by Wang Chengen.

Zhu Youjian faced the square and turned his back to the stone tablet and said: "I am your emperor, your relatives are buried under my feet, and in front of me are the people who survived the catastrophe.

Whether it's in front of me or behind me, they are all the people of Daming, and they are my people! "

"Huh, huh, huh..." The crowd made a noise. Everyone had never seen such a eulogy, and thought that the emperor was going to read an eternal model essay.

"They died, and I felt sad because I didn't have time to save them. I couldn't sleep or eat when I heard so many innocent people were killed. I was thinking about what to do at the time? So I took Daming's army and turned around. Avenged them and you.

Citizens of Yangzhou, do you know why hundreds of thousands of relatives were killed?I'm here to tell you.Punish the murderer and bring him up. "

After Zhu Youjian finished speaking, a group of soldiers immediately shouted, "Come on."

Then, everyone saw a long line of ugly-looking Tartars with "pig tails", but already pale and powerless from fright, being brought over in a string.

Doduo, the leader, still has a bit of backbone, at least he still holds his head up.But not all of Beizi, Baylor, Gushan, and Zuoling behind him have bones.

These people have a characteristic, that is, they habitually cover up their inferiority complex.When they put their knives on other people's necks, they behave very cruelly, because they need to use cruelty to intimidate others to prove their strength.

But are they really powerful?No!The real strong don't need to prove anything to anyone.

It's like a loser desperately telling a stranger what kind of high official my relative is.In fact, they are all relying on raising their social status to cover up their inner inferiority complex.

Of course, Zhu Youjian would not be so stupid as to put back these post-Jin elite backbones. His kindness is only for ordinary soldiers and ordinary people, and he will never have any mercy for these villains.

"Kill!" Zhu Youjian yelled viciously at the Tartar prisoners who were escorted to the side of the monument.Everyone in the crowd held their breath.

"Father, the emperor has avenged you." When the machete fell and Duoduo's head rolled off, a sharp, heart-piercing cry suddenly came out.Then the whole square burst into tears again.

After Zhu Youjian and others finished killing, the people cried enough, and then took out the loudspeaker and shouted: "Second punishment of traitors, the world of Ming Dynasty cannot tolerate these traitors who forget their ancestors and recognize their thieves as their fathers. Kill! "

Then Kong Youde was the first to come over, followed by Li Chengdong.Although in the official history Li Chengdong ended anyway, but to be honest, this man had too much blood on his hands as a traitor.

In the official history, it was Liu Liangzuo who captured Yangzhou, and it was Li Chengdong who killed Yan Yingyuan in Jiangyin. He killed more people in Jiangnan than Qing soldiers.This is actually a speculative warlord.

Kong Youde's eyes were already ashen, he had rebelled against the Ming for many years, and he really did not expect to see this day.However, it was Li Dingguo who caught Kong Youde, so the credit should go to Li Dingguo.

"Good kill." This time, someone among the officials took the lead in applauding. Zhu Youjian was using Li Chengdong's head to tell the officials and generals of Ming Dynasty that he would not tolerate any treasonous behavior in the future.This is why Zhu Youjian must kill Li Chengdong.

"Three killings lead to external enemies. Why Yangzhou City was breached within half a day, I'm here to tell you, it's because there is a traitor in the city. This traitor is the big salt merchant that you have supported for many years."

If Zhu Youjian said this, he had to produce convincing evidence.Therefore, Huang Zongyi came forward, took out a thick stack of confessions, and read them one by one in front of all the common people.

This time, the truth of the Yangzhou Massacre was revealed to the world, and it turned out that the most harmful person was actually by his side.

"By God, the emperor ordered: Confiscate all the property of the salt merchants who were involved in the Yangzhou incident. The main culprit will be distributed to the farm, and the rest of the family will be judged separately according to the circumstances of the case. The emperor ordered: Starting today, all salt industries will no longer distribute salt. The household department will go out and set up a salt industry company, which will be sold in a unified manner and will not be established separately."

"Wow..." This is today's breaking news. Zhu Youjian has only now nationalized the Salt Administration, which has minimized social fluctuations.

The entire Yangzhou salt merchants and the forces behind them dare not say anything now. So many people have died in Yangzhou. Are you trying to arouse public anger?The common people don't know what state-run is, but they know that there will be no salt merchants in Yangzhou City.

Then, another group of soldiers escorted Hu Maozhen and several family members of famous salt merchants in Yangzhou to the execution ground, where they were beheaded.

Zhu Cihong's face was already pale with fright, and he knew very well that what happened in Yangzhou had something to do with him.He had no choice but to look at Wang Chengen, and Zhu Cihong realized that Wang Chengen had never been as important as he is today.

Wang Chengen was also in a panic, he was very afraid that Zhu Youjian would cut Zhu Cihong off in a fit of anger.

Zhu Cilang watched Zhu Youjian pick up the big megaphone again. He knew that he couldn't escape this time, and then his legs couldn't help taking a few steps forward, and he knelt down in front of everyone with a "plop". In front of the monument, he kowtowed heavily.

Chapter 4 Twenty: Sunflower Cut the Meat

Originally, Zhu Youjian had killed three times before, and most of the hatred and resentment in the hearts of the people in Yangzhou had dissipated.Once Zhu Cihong knelt down like this, his own sin, which was not considered a serious crime, was almost forgiven.

Seeing Zhu Cihong's kneeling, Wang Chengen immediately felt relieved, and at the same time, his eye circles turned red.It's just that Crown Princess Shi Xiangyun pouted a little.

"Since you can take the initiative to stand up and admit your mistakes, then you can tell in front of all the officials and the people of Yangzhou, where did you go wrong?" Zhu Youjian originally planned to detain Zhu Cihong, but seeing this guy's behavior, It's not bad, at most it's a simple boy who was bewitched by others.

Since it was because of being used by others, Zhu Youjian wanted Zhu Cihong to reflect on it and see where he went wrong, so that he could grow up slowly.

"Your minister should not abandon the people in the war and retreat south with his teacher." Zhu Cihong said with tears. He did feel the tragedy of the Yangzhou tragedy here, and felt from the bottom of his heart that he should not run away, but he Still did not mention Liu Zongzhou's question.

"What else?" Seeing that Zhu Cihong had been speechless for a long time, Zhu Youjian asked in disappointment.Wang Chengen's complexion was already ugly at this time.

"No more." Zhu Cihong said softly.

"It was only when I returned to Nanjing that I heard that when hundreds of thousands of people in Yangzhou were struggling here and had nowhere to ask for, on the other side of the river, there were many ministers, famous officials and countless parents and officials in the south of the Yangtze River. Countless big ships are riding the dust in the expectation of my thousands of people.

After I heard this, I was heartbroken. Seeing my compatriots disregarding me, what qualifications do I have to be the parents, officials, and teachers of my people? "

"I can't decide." Standing below, Deng Zhirong was the first to roar, he knew Zhu Youjian's thoughts deeply.

"Wow..." The whole square was once again clamoring, today's plot seems to be one layer at a time.

"Father..." The prince wanted to say more, but Zhu Youjian stared back at him.

"It is passed on to me that from today onwards, I will seize the title of the crown prince of the eldest son Zhu Cihong, and exile him in Dabie Mountain to study government affairs." Zhu Youjian was cruel, and directly threw Zhu Cihong to the most miserable place.

Wang Chengen felt dizzy and sat down on the ground.Although Zhu Youjian didn't deal with Zhu Cihong, he didn't treat him too favorably.Generally speaking, Zhu Cihong still has to suffer a lot, at least on the surface.

Zhu Youjian's other goals were all achieved through this public ceremony.In particular, the two aspects of cleaning up the Yangzhou salt merchants and attacking the reputation of Liu Zongzhou of the Donglin Party can be said to be perfect.

But when it comes to dealing with Zhu Cihong, Zhu Youjian's heart is very complicated. Zhu Cihong was already very old when he traveled here, and some values ​​​​are difficult to change unless the environment changes him.

After the ceremony, Zhu Youjian hurried to comfort Wang Chengen.Zhu Youjian really didn't want to cause any estrangement with Wang Chengen, this is the person he can trust the most in this world, at least the person Chongzhen can trust the most in this physical body.

That night, Yangzhou City.

"Wang Cheng'en, try my dish. This is the lion's head with crab powder and my new Yangzhou dish."

"Tch! The scientific name of this thing is sunflower cut meat." Wang Chengen glanced at Zhu Youjian's dishes on the deep plate and said.

"Are you sure it's not called Sunflower Treasure Book?" Zhu Youjian was taken aback, this was the first time he had heard of Lion Head's original name.

"There is no such thing as a treasure of sunflowers. This is a famous dish created by Emperor Sui Yang when he came to Yangzhou. It is called sunflower cut meat."

"Come, try my handicraft." Zhu Youjian graciously put one into Wang Chengen's bowl.

"I can't bear it." Wang Chengen pushed angrily.

"Are you still angry with me? I'm getting old, and being angry can hurt your body, be careful that you won't survive 99." Zhu Youjian leaned over and said with a playful smile.

"Southern Henan is miserable! It's a pity that you can't even eat a meal of rice..." Wang Chengen said with a sigh.

"One hundred thousand." Zhu Youjian stretched out a finger while eating and said, "As long as he can persuade 10 people who fled into the Dabie Mountains to leave the mountain, he can return to Nanjing."
