Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 289 Capture Zuo Liangyu Alive

Zhu Youxiao was also a little dizzy after sitting on the boat for a day. After landing his feet on the ground, he still felt a little dizzy, and he didn't feel more at ease until he walked a few steps.

What caught Zhu Youxiao’s eyes was the endless Jingchu Plain. The Dongchang fans in white clothes and boots formed an arc-shaped sanitation in front, and Zhu Youjian and Ye Zhen each led their own guards on the left and right. side.

Li Mingrui, a scholar of the cabinet, and Wang Chengen, the chief inspector of ceremonies, stood respectfully aside.

The maid Lingxiang was wearing a Guanyin pocket and standing behind Zhu Youxiao. Due to the influence of the small glacier climate and it is now late September, even Zhu Youxiao couldn't help shrinking her neck. The towel was pulled, and the smile was like a flower.

The fertile fields are fertile, the shepherd boy rides a cow, the mulberry trees are mixed in the fields, and the sun sets in the west, and everything is silent.

Looking at everything in front of him, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but smile knowingly. This is the tranquility and peace that the Great Tomorrow Qi Dynasty should have. The rebellion of Chu King Zhu Huakui was just a stone falling into a calm and calm lake. Just a little splash.

From the premeditated uprising by the king of Chu to the preparation for the uprising and then the direct uprising, in less than ten days, it was suppressed overnight due to the rapid intelligence response system of the East Factory and the powerful mobile force of the imperial guards.

But this is not a war worthy of celebration, and it is not even worthy of being credited. However, Zhu Youxiao still let the Ming Daily make a big splash on this matter, and also used the delay of space and time to tell the local vassals through the Daming Daily. The king of Chu has rebelled, and he has gathered an army of 0 to occupy Wuchang City, and he has the potential to control Hongdu in the south and approach Jinling.

Zhu Youxiao's purpose is naturally to let those dishonest vassals jump out in advance, so that these restless vassals can be cut off. Of course, the fundamental purpose is to deprive them of social resources that occupy too much, including Their special treatment politically and economically.

Zhu Youxiao is not afraid of big things. The vassal kings in the late Ming Dynasty are not the vassal towns in the late Tang Dynasty. Even if they are tigers, they are tigers without minions. If they are not forced by themselves or want to rob their interests, it is difficult for them to talk to the central court. Rebel or do something else outrageous.

But don't let them come up with something, what reason do they use to seize the social resources they occupy, and then distribute them to the people at the bottom, or abolish their right to continue legal parasitism, so that they can also become producers of this society.

There is no need to worry about whether other forces will unite with them and use their political advantages to rebel. After all, the current Ming Dynasty is not the last years of Chongzhen when social conflicts were extremely sharp.

Now, as Sun Chengzong suppressed the tyrants in the northwest region to help the victims and implemented the new policy of distributing people to the mu, coupled with his repeated exemptions from local taxes, he also directly and permanently abolished corvee. It can be said that the survival pressure of ordinary people has been greatly reduced. Not only in the Northwest, but also in Shandong, Fengyang, a large agricultural province, where farmers are concentrated, and places where rebellions are concentrated, are also implementing a new policy that benefits the common people and pits the powerful, and social conflicts have been greatly reduced compared to the seventh year of the apocalypse. A series of incidents such as the elimination of Confucianism and the bloody suppression of literati in the south of the Yangtze River these days by the school will not happen so easily, and they are all under the control of Zhu Youxiao, and there is no major turmoil. Naturally, there is only one reason, that is, the current The common people don't want to rebel, they are very satisfied with their current life, but those who really want to mess up the world are the vested interests who have lost their privileges, but they can't find supporters, and they are labeled as deceitful and rebellious by the court as soon as they show their heads hat.

Zhu Youxiao knew that they were very aggrieved, and had to endure their anger. He secretly didn't know how to scold him as a gentleman. Maybe he only expected a wolf from the north (like the Manchus in the original history) Take away their country, and then they blatantly smear themselves in the history books, such as calling themselves the carpenter emperor or something.

Therefore, for these princes, Zhu Youxiao is not afraid that they will make trouble, but he is afraid that they will not make trouble. It is okay if they make trouble. He can justifiably deprive them of their privileges, and even not killing them is just showing the kindness of the emperor. That's all.

According to the urgent bulletin from Dongchang, the Fu Wang who opened the seal, the Dai Wang of Shanxi, and the Shandong Donglu King all began to respond after learning that the Chu king Zhu Huakui had rebelled, or they were also making preparations secretly, at least Sending a secret envoy to contact Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, means that you, the king of Chu, do this righteous thing, and I support it. If you want money, just say, you will really become the emperor in the future, and don't attack our own family like Zhu Youxiao.

But they didn't know that these restless actions became the proof that Zhu Youxiao would arrest them in the future.

Immediately after Wuchang City was occupied by the imperial guards, temporary military control was implemented. Because the left army and the royal family's soldiers plundered Wuchang City, causing great loss of life and property to the people, Zhu Youxiao directly It is decreed that all the captured rebels will be detained, and a temporary military law office will be set up to be charged by the local people. If any offenders commit crimes, they will be shot immediately!

"Your Majesty, there is the latest news from Fu Haihai. Except for the king of Chu himself, the rest of the people including his family and Miss Wei have been brought under control. The officials in Huguang and the officers and soldiers who took advantage of the chaos They have also been captured without a fight, and are waiting for a public trial by the Provisional Military Judiciary."

Zhu Youxiao nodded obediently, then turned around and ordered Li Mingrui to go to Wuchang City first to preside over the trial at the Military Law Office. After all, this kind of public trial facing the people also needs literati like Li Mingrui to mobilize and incite, otherwise the people don't know what to do. How to sue these officials and soldiers.

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao asked again: "Where are Ruan Dacheng and Zuo Liangyu who participated in the rebellion?"

"Ruan Dacheng's whereabouts are unknown like Zhu Huakui, king of Chu, and Zuo Liangyu is the same. It is said that he led his servants to break out of the siege and ran towards Xiangyang. The Fuhai Department and Qin Botong Department are stepping up their search and pursuit." When Wu Jin said this, Zhu Youxiao didn't mean to blame, but ordered: "These three chief criminals must be arrested and brought to justice, and a decree has been issued to the governments all over the country to offer rewards for the arrest of these three people! As for Zuo Liangyu, also invented The decree is to all the guards to capture this thief, regardless of life or death, once captured, he will be escorted to Wuchang Mansion immediately, and give an explanation to the people of Huguang!"

As soon as Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, he saw a horse riding in front of him, and seeing that he had entered the security line set up by the Imperial Guards and Dongchang, the man jumped off his horse and shouted: "Zuo Liangyu has been captured alive! All the remnants of them have been wiped out, and they have now been escorted to the prison of the Wuchang government office!"

Zuo Liangyu was captured alive?After Zhu Youxiao heard the news, he couldn't help but sneered. After all, this person was a well-known figure in the history of the late Ming Dynasty, but unexpectedly he was captured by himself before he fully emerged, and The crime is also treason, but this time he has no chance to die of old age and has to face the sanctions of the court.
