Chapter 307 Turmoil

At dawn, five thousand iron-blooded troops returned in a mighty manner.

Ye Huai looked at Hu Che and others who were covered in blood and said with a cold look on his face:

“How was the massacre going?”

"Report to Your Highness, all the 30 major landlord families were slaughtered, and none of them were alive. A total of more than 7,500 people were killed, and all the corpses of the 30 clan leaders were brought back!" Hu Che knelt down and reported respectfully.

Ye Huai nodded: "Okay, hang all the corpses of these dog thieves at the gates of the capital!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Hu Che took the order and left.

Ye Huai continued: "Requested, the president of the Daming Daily, to assassinate the 30 major landlord families overnight, and then the tribe was destroyed by the palace. The news that the tribe leader of the 30 major landlord families was stolen for a month, ranked on the front page of the Daming Daily today!"

He wants to mobilize the power of public opinion.

"Yes, Your Highness!" A subordinate took the order and left.

...

The next day, the front page of Daming Daily reported this.

This made the entire Ming capital boil.

"My God, Your Highness Crown is so fierce!"

"Yes, it's really tough. I killed the thirty major landlord families overnight, and didn't keep a single survivor! Only the crown prince can do such a thunderous devilish method!"

"Scary, so scary!"

"Those big landlords are really looking for death. They even joined forces to assassinate the crown prince and do such a traitor!"

"Yes, these thirty major landlords were killed by the death of their clan!"

“…”

Ordinary people all stood on the side of the crown prince Ye Huai, believing that the massacre of these big landlords was their destiny.

However, there were only a few remaining landlords in the capital who did not participate in the assassination of the crown prince, but they dared not speak out!

The crown prince massacred the big landlords in this way was simply a provocation to the entire landlord class!

On the surface, the Ming Dynasty belonged to his Zhu family, but in fact the world was shared by the Zhu family and the Ming landlord class.

After last night's massacre, the top landlords in the capital were almost dead, leaving only four landlords.

One of them was named Tian.

The Tian Mansion, the main hall of the meeting was full of people at this moment.

Everyone was dressed very well and luxuriously. They were all senior figures of the Tian family.

However, the atmosphere in the hall was extremely depressing, and it was almost driving people crazy.

After a long time, a young man in brocade stood up and said to the old man sitting in the main seat: "Dad, the Ming Dynasty crown prince Zhu Cilang is so fierce and terrible! Looking at the bodies of the big landlords and patriarchs hanging on the top of the city, I felt so panicked! Dad, what should we do?"

This young man is the son of the contemporary head of the Tian family.

"Captain, just make an idea!"

"Clan leader, do we have to leave the capital or stay in the capital? Just tell me!"

"Class leader..."

Other senior figures of the Tian family also talked about each other.

The head of the Tian family finally couldn't help but speak: "Is it Wang Tian under the world? Where can we go after leaving the capital?"

"Class leader, do you mean to surrender to the crown prince?"

The Tian family sighed slowly and said:

"Crown Prince Zhu Cilang is the leader of the revival of the Ming Dynasty. He has great talents and strategies, and has decisive means. He can solve a series of seemingly unsolvable problems. We cannot resist such a task!

When Liu, Zhang, Wang and other thirty tribe leaders asked the clan leader to discuss the assassination of the crown prince, I disagreed!

Now, the ending proves that the patriarch is right!

If we want to maintain our foundation, we can only surrender to the crown prince, agree to the new land taxation strategy, and give up some benefits!"

"The patriarch is wise!" said the senior officials.

The ending of the other thirty great families is there. They are all dead and the Tian family is still alive. This proves that the decision of the leader of the Tian family is correct!

...

As time goes by, Ye Huai's massacre of the 30 landlords in the capital will continue to ferment, arousing great dissatisfaction among the entire landlord class.

However, Ye Huai was not afraid of these things.

After killing the entire tribe of the 30 major landlords in the capital, Ye Huai issued an order to summon major military generals from various vassal states to the capital while helping to train soldiers' marksmanship in the military camp.

He wanted to see which generals were loyal to the court and which ones had disagreements with the court.

With his magical destruction eyes, Ye Huai should be able to easily see through the thoughts of the military leaders of the vassal states and adopt corresponding strategies to subdue them.

Ye Huai knew that after burning down the Wanyan Book with a large number of landlords involved and killing the thirty Kyoto landlords, he had completely stood opposite to the landlord class.

In the near future, there will definitely be huge unrest.

These landlords would most likely rebel, and would even be intertwined with peasant uprising troops such as Li Zicheng.

Therefore, Ye Huai must firmly grasp the military power. Only when the army is stable can he let go and deal with these peasant uprising troops and the rebellious landlord class.

Now, the Later Jin, the most threatening foreign enemy, has been solved, and Ye Huai has been much easier to deal with these reactionary forces in the country.

In addition, Ye Huai also used the favorable publicity tool of Daming Daily to promote land tax reform in a large scale.

Promote land tax reform how to benefit the vast majority of people, the country, etc.

This made the ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty very moved and received support from a large number of ordinary people.

This is what Ye Huai wants.

Fight most of the people to the court!

Those who have attained enlightenment will have many helps, while those who have lost their power will have few helps!

This is the power of public opinion!

This also provides convenience and benefits to Ye Huai's subsequent elimination of the landlord class who disagreed with the royal land tax reform.

Even if they rebel, there will definitely not be many followers except those big and small landlords themselves.

...

On this day, Ye Huai had just returned to the East Palace from the military camp and had just sat down to have a cup of tea.

"Your Highness, the patriarch of the Tian family is asking for a meeting!" At this time, the housekeeper came in to report.

Ye Huai heard the sound and showed an unexpected look in his eyes.

He remembered correctly that the Tian family was also a big landlord family, and it was of the same level as the thirty landlords he destroyed.

Logically speaking, the Tian family should be in a hostile relationship with Ye Huai, so why did they suddenly come to ask for a meeting?

However, Ye Huai said: "Take him to the reception hall!"

He was going to see what tricks the old fox of the Tian family was going to play!

"Yes, Your Highness!" The butler withdrew.

Soon, Ye Huai came to the reception hall and saw a big belly bearded old man with a beard, who was quite majestic.

When the old man with bearded characters saw Ye Huai coming, he hurriedly stood up and saluted: "See the crown prince, thousands of years, thousands of years, thousands of years, thousands of years, thousands of years, thousands of years, thousands of years!"

"Get up! What's wrong with you coming to see me?" Ye Huai said, as he used his destructive divine eyes to see through the other party's thoughts.
