Chapter 74 Suppress troublemakers with iron fists and guns!(1/2)
Chapter 74 Speak with swords and guns, suppress the troublemakers with an iron fist!
Sun Chengzong also hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, although my ministers are not talented, they are not without ambitions for the country!"
Zhu Guozuo then echoed: "Yes, your Majesty wants to revive the Ming Dynasty, and he has to correct the government's policy first, and then purge the entire dynasty of those with ulterior motives, thinking that he will innovate and eliminate evil plans in the future! How can I know this, and how can I not be willing?"
Zhang Gui saw that each of these ministers began to express their opinions in a hurry, and they had no intention of not supporting the emperor's reforms and eliminating the abuses. For a moment, he had to admit that the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty still needed other forces to force them not to fall in love with the light.
Only then are they willing to cut their own flesh.
"The only worry I have is that because of Your Majesty's iron fist, the gentry in the world will be seriously underpaid and their grain supply will be cut off! If I really have a good plan, how can we dare to surrender to the emperor and father for the sake of the world?"
The king and his father subjugate all the people!"
Zhu Guozuo continued to say something here.
Sun Chengzong also asked: "I just don't know if Uncle Guo really has a way to solve the crisis of grain shortage?"
"Your Majesty, if my uncle can really come up with a good plan to improve the livelihood of the world and the people, I would like to be the first to report the crime of treason and injustice to those outside who speak for my rebellious ministers!"
Yuan Keli also promised again.
"I naturally have a good plan, but it is not appropriate to tell you now. Your Majesty can promise them what to do if I can't do it. However, no matter whether I can do it or not in the future, those rebellious and unethical scholars now have to do it.
If you are suppressed, all the rebels and traitors will be punished!"
Zhang Gui replied.
Tianqi nodded and said: "I can promise to send you a clear edict. If my uncle Zhang Gui can't do it, I will take Wei Zhongxian's head and order my uncle to go back to his hometown to study. He will not be allowed to return to the capital except for the grand ceremony. Otherwise, he will be withdrawn."
Set up a west factory!"
In the end, Tianqi was reluctant to make a bet with Zhang Gui's head, and decided to sacrifice Wei Zhongxian first.
Wei Zhongxian was stunned after hearing this: "Why is my head a guarantee again?! What does the bet between the uncle and the civil servants have to do with Wei Zhongxian and me!"
"Does your Majesty mean what you say?"
Yang Lian couldn't wait to ask.
He hates Wei Zhongxian the most, because Wei Zhongxian's Dongchang is the most ruthless in confiscating the homes of the nobles, and the West Factory is currently only confiscating the homes of profiteers in Zhangjiakou. Therefore, the nobles including Yang Lian currently hate Wei Zhongxian with all their heart. If Wei Zhongxian really
To be eliminated for this reason would naturally be a happy event for them.
Moreover, Yang Lian and other civil servants also knew that Wei Zhongxian had a close relationship with Uncle Guo. Once Wei Zhongxian was not in the Supervisor of Ceremonies, Uncle Guo, a relative, would not be able to reach out to the government, and Han Xu, a treacherous official, would also lose his position in the Secretary's Office.
The secret aid of the ceremonial supervisor.
Therefore, not only Yang Lian, but also other civil servants felt very comfortable with Tianqi's promise to use Wei Zhongxian's head as a guarantee!
Tianqi shouted: "I have already stated my purpose! Is it necessary to ask again?!"
"In that case, I invite you to punish the rebellious and unethical scholars outside the Imperial Court to uphold the laws of the country!"
Yuan Keli stood up first and held an elephant wat to report.
Seeing this, Tianqi smiled and said, "It's Yuan Aiqing from the Planning Department after all. You are the first to ask for the order at this time."
"I also request an order to kill the rebellious and unethical scholars outside the Metropolitan Procuratorate in order to uphold the laws of the country!"
Hanlin Chen Zizhuang also stood up and reported.
"You count as one!"
Tianqi nodded, then looked at the other ministers, especially Sun Chengzong: "Is there anyone else?"
Sun Chengzong also stood up resolutely at this time: "I request an order to kill the troublemaking scholars in order to uphold the laws of the country!"
"I request an order to kill the troublemaking scholars in order to uphold the laws of the country!"
All other ministers stood up one after another.
Even Yang Lian stood up and said: "Since His Majesty has made a clear promise, how can I dare to violate the holy will again? To uphold the national law, why not kill him! I also requested an order to kill the troublemaking scholars!"
In the end, all the ministers expressed their intention to kill the troublemaking scholars. Even if they didn't want to, they didn't dare to offend everyone at this time.
"That being the case, Commander-in-Chief Zhang Gui of the Left, in accordance with my decree, ordered the students of the Armed Forces Academy Enlisted Corps to carry out the task of fighting the rebellion and suppress all those who planned the rebellion!"
The destiny of heaven.
"yes!"
Zhang Gui responded.
He had no good impression of these gentry who did not hesitate to force the court to let traitors like Li Sancai go for the sake of their own gentry interests.
You know, people like Li Sancai have long regarded him as an enemy who must be eliminated quickly.
Naturally, Zhang Gui would not be soft on these people and the gentry forces behind them.
What's more, Zhang Gui also knew that taking away the interests of these gentry and making the country strong again was not as simple as treating guests to dinner, and the use of violence was unavoidable.
Not long after, Zhang Gui came to the Military Academy Enlisted Corps temporarily stationed in the city with his decree.
"Emergency gathering!"
After Zhang Gui arrived, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting and others shouted loudly in accordance with Zhang Gui's order, and took away the entire army of enlisted students to gather in front of Zhang Gui.
After Zhang Guize assembled the army of enlisted students, he admonished: "I know that you are all loyal and brave men who are committed to serving the country and will not hesitate to carry out all the emperor's orders! Answer to me, yes or no.
no?!"
"yes!"
The enlisted students responded loudly.
"very good!"
Zhang Gui nodded and said: "You guys have also studied in class. The Ming Dynasty is now in dire straits and the people are in poverty, and it has reached the point where it has to reform with an iron fist. What is iron-fist reform? It means having the courage to eradicate all the evils that prevent them from being eradicated.
Those! Including Jinshi Ju people who are also Eguan Bodai like some of you. Do you think so or not?"
"yes!"
The enlisted students responded loudly.
Zhang Gui continued: "And now you all know that the Jiu slaves we met last time came to massacre all the people of Xishan, including His Majesty, to kill the king and bring chaos to the country, and to block our road to the resurgence of the Ming Dynasty.
! And they were able to enter the customs because traitors such as Li Xiuwu and Zhang Cunren colluded to build slaves. But now, there is a group of rebel scholars who harbor evil intentions. They want to complain about these traitors, saying that the imperial court has wronged them, and they want the imperial court to
Release them, do you think you will agree to it, or ask your fellow enlisted students who have died at the hands of Jiannu if they will agree?!"
Some enlisted students were silent for a moment.
These people who were silent for a while were all scholars with good reputations. After all, they belonged to the same class as the scholars who were making trouble outside, so they needed to fight and sort out their thoughts.
However, there were also many enlisted students who did not hesitate.
Historically, Xu Du, who revolted against the officials and gentry as a student, stood up at this time: "I won't agree!"
Then, Xu Du said: "The officials and gentry are cruel and harm the people, and now they want to coerce the imperial court to violate the laws and regulations and punish them. How can we agree to them?"
"That's right, we won't agree! Anyone who colludes with foreigners should be put to death. As a scholar, you can't confuse right and wrong!"
Many enlisted students also responded.
In addition to being former frontier soldiers or low-ranking military attachés in the Beijing camp, the entire military academy's enlisted students are mostly from poor families. Even if they are not from poor families, those who are willing to give up their writing and join the army are themselves
They don’t pay so much attention to the word utilitarian, but pay more attention to how to realize their ambitions.
Therefore, most of the enlisted students were willing to follow Zhang Gui to kill the troublemakers.
And in the end, some of the remaining enlisted students who had not expressed their stance also completed the ideological struggle under the influence of their classmates, and had to objectively admit that the troublemakers were indeed violating the country's laws, and they also came out to express their disapproval.
"No!"
"No!"
"No!"
…
In the end, these enlisted students all shouted in unison.
Zhang Gui pressed his hand to show silence and said: "Very good!"
Then, Zhang Guicai said: "There is a decree! Let the enlisted student corps immediately suppress the troublemakers outside the Metropolitan Procuratorate and kill them without mercy!"
"yes!"
With that said, Zhang Gui turned around and waved his hand: "Let's go!"
As a result, more than a thousand enlisted students from the Armed Forces School rushed towards the Metropolitan Procuratorate in unison, armed with blunderbuss.
At this time, more and more scholars were making a fuss outside the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and their momentum was getting louder and louder.
Even Zuo Guangxian, the younger brother of Donglin Party leader Zuo Guangdou, joined in and advocated: "Since the Metropolitan Procuratorate does not accept our submissions, we will go and beat the drum!"
"That's right! Go and beat the Dengwen drum!"
Some radical scholars also responded, seeming to think that the bigger the problem, the better.
Zuo Guangxian saw this and was the first to step out: "Let's go!"
"Walk!"
