Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

Chapter 1391 Jedi Cleanup

Chu Ze stood in the imperial study, holding in his hand an urgent war report from the coastal port.

His eyes were like a cold blade, sweeping over every word.

The remnants of Jiangnan attempted to flee overseas and tried to make a comeback with the help of the Japanese pirates.

They brought a large amount of gold, silver and treasures in an attempt to bribe the Japanese pirates and provide them with shelter.

What’s funny is that these remnants actually thought that they could escape the court’s pursuit by fleeing to the sea.

"The remnants of Jiangnan."

"Do you really think that you can escape from my sight with a few ships and some wealth?"

"It's really asking for death."

Chu Ze spoke to himself coldly, his tone full of disdain and murderous intent.

He put the battle report in his hand back on the table, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

"Lu Bing."

Lu Bing immediately walked in quickly and stood respectfully in front of Chu Ze.

"His Majesty."

"The minister is here."

Chu Ze turned around and looked at him coldly, with a hint of unquestionable majesty in his tone.

"Order the coastal naval forces to immediately dispatch elite troops to blockade all ports."

“No vessel is allowed to go out to sea.”

"All remnants of the Jiangnan rebellion, regardless of age, will be severely punished!"

"Anyone who colluded with the Japanese pirates and attempted to flee overseas will be executed on the spot!"

"In addition, order the Royal Guards to strengthen their defenses along the coast and thoroughly investigate all families that have connections with the rebels."

"I want to make these rebels understand that no matter where they flee to, they will not be able to escape my control in the end!"

Lu Bing's heart trembled, and he quickly clasped his fists and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"I will convey your Majesty's order immediately."

Chu Ze stared at him coldly and continued, "Also, order all officials and generals along the coast to report all port entry and exit records for the past month."

"Any suspicious vessel will be intercepted and inspected."

"Anyone who goes out to sea without permission will be considered a traitor!"

"The remnants of Jiangnan are trying to escape by relying on the power of the Japanese pirates. I will never give them this opportunity."

"No one of the rebels will be spared!"

Lu Bing nodded quickly and left quickly.

Chu Ze watched his back, with a hint of cold murderous intent in his eyes.

"Remnants of Jiangnan, I have already given you a chance."

"Since you don't repent, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless."

"This time, I will make all of you pay with blood!"

He walked slowly to the window of the imperial study and looked into the distance with deep eyes.

"Jiangnan has returned to the control of the imperial court."

"But there are still some remnant forces that are trying to revive."

"If these remnants are not eradicated, the situation in Jiangnan will be difficult to completely stabilize."

"I will use thunderous means to completely uproot them!"

While he was thinking, the eunuch Wang Gonggong quietly walked into the imperial study and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the officials sent by the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works have arrived in Jiangnan."

"They are taking over the affairs of Jiangnan in accordance with His Majesty's order."

"At present, Jiangnan's finances, food, weapons and other supplies have all been brought under the control of the court."

"The fields, shops, and mines that were once controlled by the wealthy and powerful are also being liquidated and are expected to be confiscated soon."

Chu Ze nodded slightly, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

"very good."

"The aristocratic families in Jiangnan have occupied the area for decades, seized a large amount of wealth and land, and even disregarded the laws of the imperial court."

"This time, I will completely liquidate all their property and bring all the wealth in Jiangnan back to the national treasury."

"Those families that are unwilling to submit to the imperial court, I will make them disappear completely."

"From today on, there will be no more aristocratic families in Jiangnan."

"All wealth, land, and power belong to the court."

"Anyone who dares to stop us will be killed without mercy!"

Eunuch Wang was startled and quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

"With your majesty's iron fist, the situation in Jiangnan will surely be quickly stabilized."

Chu Ze smiled coldly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes. "The aristocratic families in Jiangnan are just a group of ants. It is futile to try to shake the foundation of the court."

"I want everyone to understand that the majesty of the imperial court cannot be challenged!"

"Any force that dares to resist the imperial court will end up destroyed!"

Just as he was lost in thought, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside.

A commander dressed in Jinyiwei uniform walked into the imperial study with an anxious look on his face and bowed to report: "Your Majesty, urgent military information has been received from the coastal ports of Jiangnan."

"Several ships carrying remnants of the group attempted to force their way out to sea but were intercepted by the navy."

"There was a fierce battle between the two sides."

"At present, the navy has intercepted all the ships. Some of the remaining rebels have surrendered, but there are still a number of diehards who are fighting desperately."

"The admiral of the navy asks for your Majesty's instructions. Should we continue the attack?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Ze frowned slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Fight to the death?"

"These remnants really don't know how to live or die."

"Since they are unwilling to surrender, there is no need to show mercy."

He said coldly: "Order the navy, all those who resist will be annihilated."

"All remaining members of the rebellion, young and old, will be killed without mercy!"

"I want everyone in Jiangnan to know that the consequence of rebelling against the imperial court is complete destruction!"

The commander of the Jinyiwei was shocked and quickly clasped his fists and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"I will convey your majesty's order right away."

Chu Ze nodded and looked into the distance with cold eyes.

"Remnants of Jiangnan, since you refuse to give up and try to escape by relying on the power of the Japanese pirates, then disappear completely in this sea."

"From now on, there will be no more remnants of the aristocratic families in Jiangnan."

"I will wipe them out completely and restore peace to this land!"

At the same time, at the ports along the Jiangnan coast, the battle has entered a white-hot stage.

Several ships full of Jiangnan remnants were being besieged in the port by elite naval forces.

The remnants attempted to break through the navy's blockade, but were completely suppressed by the powerful firepower.

Explosions and screams continued to be heard from the ship.

The originally magnificent hull was shattered by the bombardment of artillery.

A leader of the remnants looked at the densely packed navy warships in the distance with horror on his face, his eyes filled with despair and unwillingness.

"How could this be?"

"We have so much gold and silver treasures, why are they still unwilling to let us go?"

"Are they crazy? Don't they want this wealth?"

There was endless fear and resentment in his voice.

Another leader of the remaining gang was pale and his voice was trembling.

"It's over..."

"We're fucked……"

"The power of the imperial court is simply not something we can contend with."

“We completely lost this time.”

"Can't escape."

Before their voices fell, another violent roar was heard.

Several remnant ships caught fire under the intensive artillery bombardment.
