The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 779
Nanjing has been relatively busy recently. Huang Fei, Zuo Liangyu, and Liu Zhaoji have led troops in and out successively. There are often a large number of soldiers entering and leaving the city. The people seem to be used to it.

But this time, after the armored soldiers entered the city, they separated immediately, and a group of several people went to various places in Nanjing City.

Song Zhen led the brigade to the door of Wei Guogong Xu Wenjue's house quickly. The two servants at the door of Xu's house didn't seem to be afraid of them, probably thinking that his family was the Duke of Wei.

"Paste." Song Zhen waved his hand, and someone in Chen Guoxiao's hand took paper and paste to post.

"Bold, what are you doing, do you know that this is the Duke's Mansion?" Xu's servant stepped forward angrily.

"Bah..." Chen Guoxiao went up and slapped her across the face: "Mother Guo, do you know that we are from the Urban Affairs Bureau?"

The servant was stunned by the beating, and when he looked at the teams of soldiers, he turned around in fright and ran into the mansion.

Two officials of the City Affairs Bureau posted two notices on the outer wall next to their main entrance, which was very obvious.

Just after it was posted, there was already a noisy sound from inside.

Then the gate opened, and more than [-] men and women rushed out, all of them were servants, and everyone was holding sticks, even knives, guns and other weapons.

A luxuriously dressed woman stood at the door with her hands on her hips, pointing at them and yelling, "You're rebelling, the Duke's Mansion is where you mess around, come here, throw me out."

Some servants came up to tear off the pasted paper, and some servants rushed forward clamoring.

Chief Qian Zheng Wenbin was dumbfounded, these people are blind, we have so many soldiers behind?

He shook his head and waved back.

"Crash" There was a sudden crash in the air.

Whoosh, whoosh, a rain of arrows shot directly.

"Ah!" There was screams at the scene, and the servants suffered heavy casualties.

Now the people in the Duke's Mansion saw how powerful it was, the woman let out a scream, turned around and ran in, and the rest of the people fled back one after another.

Zheng Qianbin stood at the door and yelled loudly to the surroundings: "Wei Guogong's house is so bold that it gathered troops to rebel, searched his home, and confiscated all his property."

The soldiers yelled loudly, and then he waved his big hand, bang, and smashed through the gate directly, and a large number of soldiers and horses rushed in.

"Kneel down and don't kill." The soldiers yelled, and the inside was jumping, crying and howling.

In less than half an hour, Duke Wei's mansion was completely swept away, dozens of men and women were arrested, and others were driven out one after another.

After some servants and slaves walked out of the door dejectedly, they found people gathered around the wall to read the announcement, and there were soldiers standing on the left and right beside the announcement.

Someone else is reading it.

"Remove the status of slave, return the contract of sale, and divide the land from the master's family to [-] mu and a small."

The crowd shouted: "Really, please read it again."

"I know how to read, how can it be fake."

"Just ask them."

Someone stepped forward and asked, "Officer, is it true?"

Chen Guoxiao said calmly: "Of course, you don't want to leave yet. After we find out the deeds of sale, burn them one by one, burn one, and leave one by one."

"As for the fields of each Ding, it will start in three days. Come here to collect them, and the tax bureau will distribute them for Xu Wenjue."

"Master Qingtian." A slave was overjoyed and knelt down on the spot.

Song Zhen asked strangely, "Why here?"

Chen Guoxiao laughed loudly: "Isn't it good for the office building of your tax bureau to be placed in the Duke's Mansion?"

Song Zhen also smiled: "I didn't expect it, this place is good, it's the office of the tax bureau."

"My City Affairs Bureau needs to find the Marquis's Mansion." Chen Guoxiao chuckled.

"On this street, let's be friends."
-
The Mansion of the Commander of the Chinese Army in Nanjing.

The nobles are still arguing.

Suddenly there was a loud bang outside, as if the door had been knocked open.

Then a family member stumbled in and ran in: "Young Master, Young Master, someone has come to confiscate the Chinese Army Commander's Mansion."

Before he could finish speaking, a wave of soldiers rushed in.

"Whose soldiers and horses are you and what do you want to do?" Xu Wenjue said angrily.

Zhang Xunwei, the commander-in-chief of the Nanjing Central Army, was even more vocal: "Who gave you the courage to mobilize your troops?"

The leading general ignored him at all, and said loudly: "The imperial decree has set down all the ministries in Nanjing and the governor's mansion of the five armies, and all the government offices here have been confiscated and belonged to our Nanjing General Barracks. Who told you to stay here? Get out now."

"You, you little boss, you've become lawless." Zhang Xunwei's body trembled in anger.

Pulling Zong Zheng out of his sword, he said coldly, "I'll count to five, and after five, I'll kill you."

"One"

"two"

He quickly counted to two, and everyone in the hall was startled, frightened and angry.

Ruan Dacheng said loudly: "All ministers and workers, don't be afraid, I don't believe it, the world is open, Xiao Yongqiu's soldiers and horses are lawless? Dare to kill the imperial court officials and the nobles of the Ming Dynasty."

As soon as he called out, he immediately stabilized everyone's minds, and many people looked at the general manager in disbelief.

"Nunniang." Without further ado, the general manager went up and stabbed him.

Puchi.

Ruan Dacheng's head thumped and fell to the ground.

"Plop" Xu Wenjue's legs gave way in fright, and he sat down on the chair.

"Three" count the total again.

"My mother." I don't know who was the first to scream, and all the civil and martial arts rushed out, crying for their father and mother, fearing that they would lose two legs.

Xu Wenjue's legs were so frightened that he couldn't run at all.

He lay down directly on the ground, rolling and crawling.

Fortunately, the boss deliberately counted slowly and let him crawl out of the hall slowly.

After reaching the hall, Xu Cai barely stood up.

Just as he was about to leave, two more soldiers rushed in from outside.

"President Qi, the Duke of Wei's mansion gathered troops to fight against the imperial court. Mr. Zheng Qian issued an order to confiscate the Duke of Wei's house and put them in prison, and arrest them all."

"What?" Xu Wenjue turned pale with horror.

The other officials who hadn't come and ran away around were even more out of their wits.

"That's Wei Guogong?" The general manager snapped.

Swipe, many people on the scene looked at Xu Wenjue.

"No, no, I'm not—" Xu Wenjue wanted to explain, and several soldiers rushed up like wolves and tigers, and directly pushed him down.

"Catch it first, and cut it after the fall." Boss deliberately frightened him.

Xu Wenjue's eyes darkened, and he fainted from fright.

Ruan Dacheng was hacked on the spot, Wei Guogong was confiscated, and the dignitaries and officials at the scene suddenly scattered like birds and beasts.

Everyone ran to the street and found that there were people everywhere on the street, including soldiers and horses, as well as officials, and a large number of people came out to watch.

In many places, people are surrounding the announcement.

Zhang Xunwei ran home immediately, and found that there were also a large number of people watching at the door of his house, as well as many family members and servants from his own mansion.

He was ashamed and angry: "These dog slaves are not doing their business. What are you looking for here? Believe it or not, I will drive them out."

He walked over cursing, and there was a commotion in front of him.

"Zhang Xunwei is back." Someone in the crowd called him by his name.

Swipe, many servants and servants all looked back at him.

"Look, you don't need to work anymore, go back to the mansion." Zhang Xunwei cursed with his hands on his hips.

But he soon realized that something was wrong. In the past, when he got angry, the slaves were so frightened that they all knelt down and kowtowed, but now, although many people still looked a little scared, no one knelt down.

"What do you want, do you want to rebel?" Zhang Xunwei tremblingly said: "Come, come." He stepped back and called for someone.

He was followed by two servants, both of whom went to the meeting with him, and now they also stepped forward with pride: "Old Niu, what are you going to do, you all want to rebel?"

"Fuck you, get me here." A middle-aged man squeezed out from the crowd.

One of the family members saw that it was his father, and immediately looked embarrassed.

"The crown prince and Zhenbei Wang Xianming canceled the status of slaves for everyone in the world, and even ordered the master's family to share twenty acres of grain fields. What are you doing standing there? Get out."

When the two families behind Zhang Xunwei heard this, their eyes widened.

Now they finally know that the people watching on the street are all court announcements.

"Presumptuous." Zhang Xunwei was startled and angry: "Who dares to touch the fields of my Zhang family. I still have your deeds of selling your lives. Don't act recklessly, don't dream."

"The imperial court has decreed that all contracts of selling one's body will be voided, and they are useless."

"You don't divide the land within five days, we just need to report it to the tax bureau, the whole family will search, and the head of the family will be executed."

"Wei Guogong's Xu family has been confiscated, Zhang Xunwei, do you want to be the second one?"

"The court's imperial decree is greater, or you, Zhang Xunwei?"

The servants and servants in the crowd became more and more courageous and shouted one after another.

Ding Yi issued an imperial decree in the name of Jian Guo, and the people all over the world responded and supported it.

If you rebel and go to Beijing, who will listen to you in the current imperial decree.

I don't know who took the lead, but suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "Divide the land according to the decree."

"Divide the fields according to the decree."

"Divide the fields according to the decree."

The whole street, one after another soon, was full of shouts for dividing the land according to the decree.

Zhang Xunwei stumbled and ran home, and found that the people in the house were panic-stricken, and many maids gathered together, not doing anything at all, whispering and discussing something.

In the announcement, the "kou" is also divided into fields, and adult women are "kou" with ten acres per mouth.

Obviously, the maids were talking about dividing the fields.

The announcement also stated that if there are girls or boys under the age of [-] in the family without parents, the court will be responsible.

Adults in the Ming Dynasty were also seventeen years old, so if they were underage, the court would be responsible and there was no need to divide the land.

But the announcement also said that if there are parents, the land should be divided according to the adults.

Many girls and boys were sold by their parents, which means that now they can go home and bring back [-] acres of land and [-] acres of land.

The more Zhang Xunwei thought about it, the angrier he became: "Don't dream." He pointed at the maids and cursed: "I don't know how to divide the fields, I don't know how to divide the fields."

Zhang Xunwei didn't believe that Ding Yi and the court dared to do this, and at the same time thought that a large number of people in Nanzhili would rise up to resist.

But Xiao Yongqiu's soldiers and horses had already been calmly arranged and spread all over the city, so they could resist.

Three days later, he was still not moving.

Immediately, a servant reported that he did not divide the land.

On the same day, more than 100 soldiers and more than a dozen people from the tax bureau and city bureau came to the door.

He directly broke into the house and confiscated all his property.

Zhang Xunwei cried wildly, looking for someone to resist, but all the family members were watching, and no one would stand up except his own family members.

Zheng Wenbin's soldiers seized more than 300 pieces of silver the size of winter melons in Zhang Xungui's house. According to the identification of housekeeper Jia Ding and others, there were 11 shimi in four granaries outside the city, and countless other wealth.

That afternoon, Zheng Wenbin beheaded Zhang Xunwei.

The men and women of the Zhang family were escorted onto the ship, transported to Dayuan, and then sent to Luzon or Tai O.
