Five years of garrison on the border, shocked Zhu Yuanzhang who went south to inspect

Chapter 146 Killing the Innocents
"Haha, Mr. Zhu really cares about all the people in the world!"

Zhu Tuo snorted and continued: "The war on the border is so tense. Why didn't you report it to the court and instead hid the matter?"

Zhu Tong suddenly became nervous.

The most terrifying thing in this world is lying.

Because if you want to repair a lie, you have to make up more lies, and the more lies you tell, the easier it is to expose your flaws.

Zhu Tong pondered for a moment and then said: "His Majesty the King of Jin has just passed away, and the situation on the border of Jin is unstable. I was afraid that the governor sent by the imperial court would give random orders, so I did not report it to the imperial court."

"Okay, Mr. Zhu is indeed fair! It seems that I wrongly blamed you."

Zhu Tuo clapped his hands and cheered: "After the death of Third Brother Wang, you all distributed the food relief to the border out of consideration for the overall situation. If you are held accountable by the government, you are willing to accept the punishment."

"Okay, I can't tell that those ministers in Jin are so considerate. This is a great achievement and it's my fault. If I were the king, I would give you a plaque with four big characters engraved on it.
Zhu Tong said doubtfully: "What's going on?"

"Nonsense!"

"I want to see if you are playing tricks on me!"

Zhu Tuo cursed: "Officials from all over the Jin Kingdom are searching for fleeing refugees. Tens of thousands of people have been arrested now. Why do they want to arrest them?"

"Moreover, how come you, a cunning guy like Zhu Tong, care so much about the country? Do you think I will believe it? I wonder if you are corrupt?"

"Your Majesty is innocent!"

"Unfair? I don't understand. Maybe you have colluded with Mongolia.

Because of smuggling food, the third brother Zhu Tong found out. The third brother has a bad temper and wants to arrest people for interrogation, but you are afraid of being killed by him, right? "

Zhu Tong was stunned and no longer had the hope he had before.

He had realized that Zhu Tuo's guess was close to his goal.

"Your Majesty, how can I have the courage to assassinate King Jin?"

"When you make a profit of 50.00%, you start to get ready to take action. With a profit of [-]%, you have the courage to take risks. With a profit of three times, you have the courage to resist and eliminate all obstacles."

Zhu Tong trembled all over and his face was as pale as paper.

He was speechless.

Moreover, in his opinion, his understanding of Zhu Tuo was wrong, so after Zhu Tuo was appointed as the governor of Jindi, everyone was ecstatic.

Although Zhu Tuo is a prince, he is only the eighteenth prince of the Ming Dynasty after all, and he is not very famous. Moreover, Zhu Tuo's reputation is also well-known.

He beat up Huang Zicheng and made Fang Xiaoru so angry. He also made so many weird things that made them all feel that they were uneducated.

The Confucians of this era were poor in other aspects, but they were good at talking about dirty work. When Zhu Tuo offended them, they went around slandering Zhu Tuo. People thousands of kilometers across Jin had heard of Zhu Tuo.

But they didn't expect that this seemingly rough and arrogant Prince Su was actually as careful as his hair, and everything was in his plan.

If he enters Taiyuan according to normal procedures, he will definitely not discover the truth of the matter.
However, King Su did not follow common sense and actually dared to provoke a rebellion, becoming his father's rebellion, and soon occupied Taiyuan.

Zhu Tuo looked at Zhu Tong with cold eyes and said slowly: "You didn't say anything, so I already roughly guessed it."

"Prince Su, we are also thinking about the Kingdom of Jin!"

"What is the general trend? What is the general trend? What is the overall situation, what conspiracy, assassination of the prince, embezzlement of military rations, arrest of refugees? The people of Jin are in dire straits, and the Mongols are coming to attack the city again?" Zhu Tong was shaky again, with a look of despair on his face , but bit his lower lip and said nothing.

Zhu Tuo slapped the table and shouted: "Although I am a prince, I hold an emperor's sword in my hand. Zhu Tong, I can still be polite to you. If you don't shut up, I will kill all your ten clans." Kill?"

Zhu Tong's face turned pale immediately, and he quickly asked: "It has been more than 20 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. How come there are any rules for punishing the ten clans?"

"I have an emperor's sword. I want to kill several clans. I want to kill several clans. Say it again, and I will destroy your whole family!"

Zhu Tong looked at Zhu Tuo in shock. He never expected that King Su was so powerful. He was holding a sword of the Emperor of Heaven in his hand and was simply invincible.

Zhu Tuo waved his hand, looked at Zhu Tong's silence, and said, "Mr. Zhu doesn't want to say more, so let's find a suitable punishment for him."

Several guards knocked Zhu Tong to the ground. Shi Ziliang took out a piece of bamboo from his arms, smiled at Zhu Tuo and said: "Your Majesty, I was not prepared in advance, I only found a few bamboos.

Shi Ziliang said: "Just use this kind of bamboo to stick on your fingertips one by one.

With the ten fingers connected, this kind of punishment will definitely make people miserable.

"Did you use this method when you were a robber in your humble position and suppressed many traitors? Haha, it's not that I don't know. I have had this idea for a long time, but I just didn't have the chance.

Zhu Tuo nodded: "Yes, let Mr. Zhu enjoy it. This punishment looks easy, but it is actually very painful."

"Yes, many people were tortured to death."

A conversation between Zhu Tuo and Shi Ziliang caused Zhu Tong's mental breakdown.

Zhu Tong looked at the bamboo in Shi Ziliang's hand, and his expression became even more frightened. When Shi Ziliang opened his hand, he finally couldn't help it anymore and fell to the ground, howling loudly. Crying: "Don't torture me, I tell you!"

Shi Ziliang looked at Zhu Tong with pity. Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was missed by him.

"Tell me everything you know without any reservations!"

"A few years ago, the war in Mongolia came to an end, and Mongolia's national power became weaker and weaker. Mongolians often used livestock in exchange for some things. For example, some people with bad intentions would do business with Mongolians."

“After that, ministers intervened, and gradually more people were involved, and many things spread from Jin to Mongolia.

"This matter was known to King Zhu Tong of Jin. Unexpectedly, this matter involved most of the civil and military officials of Jin. They were afraid of being punished by the government, so they joined forces to assassinate him."

"After the death of King Jin, he fabricated a rumor that King Jin died suddenly. But just this spring, the Mongols invaded the border again and threatened to help Jin officials.

The news spread

“We ministers were all anxious. In order to preserve our property, we had to agree to the Mongols’ request and gave them all the food and grain.

Zhu Tuo was very angry when he heard this, and asked with wide eyes: "Why do you want to arrest those refugees?"

"Killing. Massacre of innocents."

"Are we going to kill them and make them Mongols? Well, this is a good idea. The ministers of Jin are all smart people."

In the battle of Yujiaerhai, the Ming army won a great victory. Dibaonu, the second son of Emperor Tianyuan, his concubines, princesses, princes and nobles were captured. 70 elites of the Northern Yuan Dynasty were killed in the battle. Only Tianbaonu and his eldest son were able to escape.

Since then, the Northern Yuan Dynasty headed by the Jin family collapsed.The various Mongolian tribes gradually got rid of their rule, and they began to fight for power.

The various ethnic groups in Mongolia fought against each other, causing huge losses to the Mongolian people.
