The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 549 Eleven Generations of Enrong Eleven Repayment

While speaking, he walked toward Zhu Hongyu on his knees, knelt in front of Zhu Hongyu with a respectful attitude, and raised the jade tablet above his head with both hands, intending to present it to Zhu Hongyu.

Zhu Hongyu looked down slightly, looked at the jade tablet presented by Xu You with both hands, and took it over.

The jade plaque is exquisitely carved, with a character Wei engraved on the front and a single character You on the back.

On the edge of the jade tablet, there is also a circle of golden texture engraved with filigree.

Moreover, seeing that this jade tablet is not a new item, it must have been around for decades at least!
Zhu Hongyu can probably tell that Xu You in front of him is most likely to be a descendant of Wei Guogong's lineage.

However, after judging Xu You's identity, Zhu Hongyu's peripheral vision kept wandering around the big gentry.

Are you testing me?

Zhu Hongyu had reason to suspect that this Xu You was the group of gentry and wealthy families in front of him who withdrew to test him.

Test his heart, test his tolerance for Jiang Guoqing!

Besides, Zhu Hongyu couldn't think of any other possibility that Xu You could appear in front of him today.

Do you really think these big gentry are fools?

If it wasn't for a purpose, how could they let Xu You appear in front of Zhu Hongyu on a day like today, to make things difficult for Zhu Hongyu?

Who should I respond to?

With their control over Nanjing City, it would be impossible for Xu You to appear in front of Zhu Hongyu without their permission.

Thinking of this, Zhu Hongyu restrained his expression, and said with a cold snort.

"Wei Guogong?"

"Where did I come from in the Ming Dynasty, Wei Guogong, hasn't that thief Xu Wenjue been cleared?"

"It's Duke Wei of the Qing Dynasty!"

Zhu Hongyu once again displayed his innate skills as an old hermaphrodite.

Having said all this, he ignored Xu You, but swung his braid lightly, urged his horse forward, leaped over the crowd, and headed towards the gate of Nanjing.

After Zhu Hongyu finished speaking, under the gaze of everyone, Xu You's body softened and he sat down on the ground.

Xu You looked around blankly, and there was a faint feeling of fear brewing and spreading.

Although Zhu Hongyu's words were only yin and yang, he did not reveal a very obvious killing intent.

But even so, it was scary.

Just the majesty contained in that cold snort made Xu You a little overwhelmed!
Not to mention Xu You who faced Zhu Hongyu directly, the landlords and gentry at the gate of the city also felt a lot of pressure.

Zhu Hongyu's voice came from afar.

"Hmph, just look at the merits of the old man King Zhongshan, I can forgive you the crime of treason this time!"

"However, don't keep Wei Guogong's title!"

"If you keep it, you are also embarrassing the King of Zhongshan. From today on, Duke Wei's mansion will be expelled."

"All the members of Duke Wei's mansion are sent to Xiaoling Mausoleum to guard the tomb of Emperor Taizu!"

"Within the eleventh generation, the members of Duke Wei's government are not allowed to join the army, conduct imperial examinations, do business, or work. They are not allowed to leave the Xiaoling Mausoleum. Those who violate the order will be killed!"

"..."

Since the death of the first generation of Wei Guogong, Xu Da, who was named Zhongshan King after the death, Wei Guogong has passed on for a total of eleven generations.

Since the eleven generations before and after enjoyed the grace of Ming Dynasty, they finally surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and became traitors.

It is not too much for the Wei Guogong Mansion, which has been passed down for eleven generations, to guard Zhu Yuanzhang's tomb for eleven generations, right?
Xu You collapsed to the ground, his face full of despair.

Although Zhu Hongyu didn't say that he wanted to kill him, but if he was imprisoned for eleven generations in Xu family, it would be better to kill him!
At the same time, the landlords and gentry in Nanjing also understood Zhu Hongyu's beating.

All of them stood in place obediently, and ordered people to transport a large amount of wine, meat and food out of Nanjing City and hand them over to the logistics department of the Ming army.

What's more, they each contributed a sum of money, adding up to 50 taels, as a gift for Zhu Hongyu.

On the surface, it was said that it was military expenses for the Ming army, but to put it bluntly, the 50 taels were the protection fees paid by these people in Nanjing City.

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly, expressing his satisfaction.

Looking at the majestic and tall Nanjing City in front of him, Zhu Hongyu did not enter the city immediately, but first arranged the army's progress, cleared the order in the city, and controlled various important places in the city.

Such as the imperial city of Ming Dynasty, treasury, government office, school field... etc. places!
Zhu Hongyu will not enter the city until the city of Nanjing is under control from the inside out to ensure the safety of the city.

He is still very precious to his own life.

……

Zhu Hongyu was not asked to wait long, and after only half a day, the Ming army completed the cleanup of Nanjing City.

The city defense was completely taken over by the Ming army, and the big flag with Ming characters, the twelve-pointed sun and moon flag, fluttered high on the city wall.

The gate of the city was opened, and the two sides were full of soldiers of the Ming army.

Red armor, bright bayonets, people standing every five meters on both sides of the street, the team is neatly arranged, and you can't see the edge at a glance.

Behind the human wall formed by the soldiers of the Ming army, were the people of Nanjing who came out spontaneously to watch the excitement.

Countless Nanjing citizens spontaneously gathered on both sides of the street, ready to see the scene of the army entering the city.

At this time, Nanjing can be said to be one of the most prosperous cities in the world.

The population and wealth of the entire Jiangnan are gathered here, and the population in the city exceeds one million, and is even developing towards 200 million.

In the pre-Ming Dynasty, the population of Nanjing exceeded one million.

After the chaotic wars at the turn of the Ming and Qing Dynasties in these years, the population size of Nanjing City actually did not increase but decreased.

When the Qing army took over Nanjing City, because Xu Wenjue and others were soft enough, Nanjing City did not suffer from military disasters, and the population was relatively intact.

Coupled with the ensuing chaotic war in the south of the Yangtze River, a large number of people flooded into Nanjing City for refuge, and the prosperity of Nanjing was even more prosperous than before.

In addition, the current capital was completely abolished by the Manchu land enclosure order and house occupation order, and it became a complete banner city.

The degree of prosperity was directly cut in half or even more!
Isn't Nanjing today the largest and most prosperous city in the world?
"Miss, miss, let's go back quickly!"

"If you let the master know that you have sneaked out of the house, you will definitely lose your temper."

A woman who was obviously disguised as a man, with a square scarf on her head, and a cute bun face, carefully talked to another broad-minded woman next to her who was also disguised as a man.

The broad-minded woman on the side heard the words, puffed up her chest, and said with cute eyes.

"Don't call me miss, call me young master!"

"If you dare to call it wrong again, the chicken legs will be gone tonight!"

The bun-faced maid shrank her neck and curled her mouth, but she still spoke.

"Master, the army is entering the city today, and the city is in chaos. I'm afraid it will be dangerous!"

"In case we encounter rebels... people are afraid!"

The bun-faced servant girl said pitifully.

It's just that her pitifulness can't impress her own young lady.

The broad-minded lady just said in a very simple tone.

"It's so lively today when the army enters the city!"

"Miss Ben...ah bah, what I want to see is the excitement of the army entering the city!"

"As for the rebels..."

"It's okay, today is the first day of the Ming Dynasty's arrival in Nanjing, who dares to make trouble at this time!"

The bun-faced servant girl felt a little relieved when she heard this, but she still followed her lady step by step.

As if afraid of something happening!
The broad-minded young lady paced around, fanning her folding fan swayingly in her hand, and under the protection of several powerful guards beside her, she squeezed towards the front of the crowd.

She heard people say that Jian Guo of Daming is a handsome man who looks better than Pan An Songyu.

She was very curious about what Daming Jian Guo looked like.

I want to be healthy...

……

ps: It's another day with too many classes, there are only two shifts, try to break out as much as possible tomorrow.
