Ming dynasty grand dude

It's okay to fire a few shots while the opponent hasn't surrendered, but it's not easy to fire again after the opponent has raised the white flag.

Speaking of the different developments of the East and the West, they coincided with each other on the matter of "surrender of the white flag".

The surrender of the white flag in the east probably originated at the end of Qin Dynasty, when Qin Shangshuixuan.

Therefore, when Liu Bang's soldiers were approaching Xianyang, Qin Ziying led the people to vote and surrendered against the white.

"Let them abandon their weapons! Otherwise, shoot and kill!!"

Guo Hung left such a sentence angrily, sighed and returned to his commander's cabin.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the land of northern Guangdong was bustling again.

The workers at the wharf started to catch up with the schedule as usual, and the workers in the mine also rushed to eat two breakfasts under the urging of the foreman.

Then they started to enter the mine together, the one who should dig the mountain, and the one who should dig the mine.

Groups of bandit-like men and horses escorted what seemed to be another group of bandits began to rush from all directions to the provincial capital.

Many people in the prefectures and counties also saw that the government servants who treated them like wolves and tigers on weekdays, nodding and bowing when they saw the old man, all rushed out.

Go directly to the homes of the gentry and wealthy businessmen, followed by a group of men behind them.

The armor worn by the leaders of these men is extremely special, obviously a small team.

Behind them was a group of bandits-like characters, and some of them were even recognized as bandits.

These men "boom~" kicked open the doors of a family of gentry and rich merchants.

Those servants who were trying to fight back were "slapped..." beaten, knocked down to the ground, and then tied up by the yamen...

Chapter 398 Waiting for the reef to look up

Everything is chaotic.

Teacher, fellow countryman, same year, classmate... and so on, all kinds of relationships are implicated with each other and almost cover the entire Shilin.

Even cabinet leaders like Li Dongyang and Liu Jian cannot avoid the influence of this relationship.

"It's good to run for a while, the places they can go are limited, so we packed them up together."

Young Master Zhang smiled and said, "The manpower required for each project should be sufficient..."

When Zhang Xuanying and Zhao Lifu mentioned this, their faces blushed, they were more than sufficient!It was simply too much!

Now there are more than [-] people under escort, and these people can work with only food.

Proper free labor, great man!

"The gentry and merchants have found enough food and wealth to meet their needs. The two of you need to make a report on this."

Hearing Mr. Zhang's words, the two quickly nodded, "It's natural! It's natural!"

"Just take advantage of this opportunity, and all the ministries will also train their soldiers..."

Young Master Zhang looked at them, blinked his beautiful eyes and said with a smile, "Graduates from Imperial Affairs College, please send some..."

"As well as those current-year Jinshi who are studying at the Imperial Government Academy, don't be idle."

As soon as Zhang Xuanying and Zhao Lifu said this, their faces did not change, but they sighed inwardly.

I'm afraid that after this, the years when the chief envoys, the inspectors, and the commanding envoys, and the three divisions control the administrative provinces will be over.

But... this has nothing to do with the labor and management. After this assessment, the labor and management will be in the Jinchaotang department.

The Department of Legal Affairs is short of one Shangshu and two servants. We dare not think about Shangshu.

But the minister can still think about it, and there is also a shortage of ministers in the Xiangxu Education Department!

Our qualifications are well placed, and this official merit test will show up...

That seat is not for us, who else can it be for? !

So... do we care what the three divisions look like? !

Chapter 399 The grand trial is frightening, and the sea merchants cover up the town officials

There was no chaos in northern Guangdong as imagined, or the kind of chaos that the cabinet ministries had been fearing.

Groups of gentry and merchants were captured and sent to the provincial capital for sentencing.

Dongchang and Jinyiwei have already found out their criminal evidence, and then submitted the testimony of the original bandits.

The Ministry of Justice quickly requested Dali Temple to hear these cases in public according to the "Law of the Ming Dynasty".

First of all, the families in Yangcheng were escorted to the high platform in desolation and panic.

The people below have already been notified by the Yamen servants of the Yangcheng Mansion to come to watch the big trial.

"...The thieves of the Tong family are vainly reading sages! Going into the sea against the ban, colluding with bandits, and intending to disrupt Guangdong, their deeds are hateful, and their hearts are damnable!!"

Tong Shang stared blankly at Dali Temple Minister Wang Shi and Wang Yongjing, whose eyes were burning with anger.

Lao Wang is also an old senior. He was a Jinshi in the eighth year of Tianshun, and he was first awarded the right judge of Dali Yousi.

Later, he moved to Yousizheng, and then promoted to the deputy envoy of Sichuan.

At the beginning of Hongzhi, he was promoted to the inspector of Sichuan.In three years, he moved to Nanjing Youqian capital censor and admiral Cao Jiang.

Eight years into the right deputy capital censor, the prime minister of Nanjing grain storage.

Because Zhang Xiaogong asked for it himself, the cabinet also felt that it needed a mature and prudent veteran to help out.

So the old Dali Temple official was promoted to Dali Temple Minister and transferred to northern Guangdong to preside over the trial.

The piles and pieces presented by the Ministry of Justice were almost all stained with blood and tears.

More than 73% of Tongjia's [-] shops in the northern Guangdong prefectures were acquired by various means of extortion.

Some people were kidnapped by bandits and bandits, even if they gave enough money, they were still ripped off and their families fell into ruin.

Others wanted to buy but were intimidated by the Tong family, and finally had to sell it at a low price to the Tong family and flee to avoid disaster.

Someone was rushing to buy silk rice from Tong's family, but on the way back, he was lost by water bandits, including him and his boat.

Then there were bandits at home, they were burned and killed, and there was no longer any existence...

For example, the [-] acres of fine paddy fields next door to Tong's house came from this way.

The Tong family wanted to buy their [-] mu of paddy fields at a price lower than the market price, but the family refused, but within ten days the family encountered bandits.

None of the fourteen members of the family survived, and the Tong family bought the [-] mu of land from the state government at a low price...

When these things were uncovered one by one, the faces of the Yangcheng people present were flushed with anger and trembling all over.

"Bastard! Beast!! Kill this bastard!!"

Zhan Ganquan was trembling with anger when he heard all these incidents on the side of the high platform, although he had seen some evidence.

But where is this incident, which is more direct and more infuriating when it is revealed in public? !

"...I have invited the Ministry of Rites of the Cabinet to strip you of your fame! Confiscate your property and serve hard labor! With this body, you can atone for the sins of northern Guangdong!!"

Lao Wang on the stage is impassionedly pronouncing the sentence, while Lao Zhang in the audience is impassionedly settling accounts.

Not knowing that he was startled, Lao Zhang looked at the household department and kept counting all kinds of objects carried out from various families in northern Guangdong.

Looking at the sealed land deeds and shop deeds, his lips trembled.

Damn damn it!More than 400 million taels were obtained from the cash check directly! !

In addition, there are more than 7000 taels of gold, two eight-foot-high coral trees, more than twenty more than five feet, and nearly a hundred under five feet!

Thumb belly-sized walking beads are counted by box, and there are more than 230 boxes of each small dressing box.

Gemstones of various colors, Longyanxiang, amber, jadeite, jade carvings, etc., are piled up like mountains and countless.

There are also large pieces of sea yellow material, fir, cypress, teak for shipbuilding, etc., all of which are well hidden in Zhuangzi.

Although most of the acres were cut out, they actually had more in their hands! !

Only after the Tong family's land deeds were searched out and thoroughly investigated, there were still as much as 30 mu!

It's just that these fields are extremely hidden and scattered, and many people don't even know that the acres they cultivate belong to the Tong family.

And shops, lots of shops everywhere...

Not to mention the grain stored in various grain shops and the grain depots hidden in Zhuangzi, the total grain is nearly 200 million shi!

Rich!Really damn rich! !

The two old men, Lao Zhang and Lao Zhao, were so close to crying, we two can't shovel so much even in northern Guangdong!

The people in the household department were also taken aback, they never thought that these sea merchants would be so aggressive!

It's even more frightening to check carefully. These sea bandits have colluded with bandits and bandits to dig mines.

Iron smelting, steelmaking, and a large amount of coal, stone, wood...etc.

They even found several gold mines and silver mines, and secretly organized people to dig them.

Even more frightening, what frightened Zhang Xuanying and Zhao Lifu was the armor ordnance they discovered!

Nearly a thousand pairs of iron armor were found, more than [-] strong crossbows, and more than [-] high-quality steel knives...

There are even more than [-] heavy guns, if they really use them, the consequences...

Zhang Xuanying, Zhao Lifu and the others felt shuddering when they thought about it, and some of the missing guns from Jiubian had been recovered.

Where the rest will go is still unknown.

"In the 50 and [-] years of the empire, the poor and poor people in the country finally became fat, and it was these stinking beasts!"

Grandpa Zhang placed these statistics in front of Dai Yi, Wang Shi, Zhan Ganquan... and the others, and sighed.

"If they don't die, I don't know when they will hollow out and collapse the country before they will give up!!"

Looking at those hidden households attached to Dingkou of their home, these old officials and old scholars were relatively speechless.

They had vaguely felt this problem before, but they never thought that this problem would be so serious!

This has surpassed the word "national beetle", probably the only thing that can be used is what Mr. Zhang called "stinky animal beetle"!

"The imperial navy seized [-] large ships smuggled with thousands of materials, and fifteen warships with [-] materials that were 'floated' in the original water transport..."

"There are 23 war cruise ships, and there are also nearly a hundred privately built civilian ships ranging from [-] to [-] materials!!"

Young Master Zhang looked at them, and said softly, "Should I praise them for their ability, or should I call them beasts..."

Zhang Xuanying and the others were speechless, but luckily Young Master Zhang didn't bother about this either.

"Actually, I should thank them. Many crafts that have been dispersed in the Yongle Year have not been completely cut off."

"This can probably be regarded as a good thing they unintentionally did for the empire!"

But he saw Zhang Xiaogong waved his hands in a dispirited way, and walked to the huge railing on the top floor of the Wangjiang Building to look out the window at the river.

The lights on the river were brightly lit, and even at night, there were countless people shouting for work and rushing for the construction period.

"Let's play it! Presumably, the cabinet and His Majesty are also in a hurry..."

Chapter 400 The Governor-General of the Great Development of North Guangdong, Appease the Li People

After the first wave of suppression was over, northern Guangdong temporarily entered a period of calm.

Those who should be confiscated should be confiscated, and the trial should be judged. After the sentence is over, all the people will be thrown into the mine to work without waiting for the imperial decree.

Nima!Shortage!These fat and strong puppies, don't throw them away to work, don't they give money every day? !
