The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 560 Kneeling Statue
Until it shakes the world!

It seemed to be responding to the flat thunder just now!
After the order was delivered to the outside of the Xiaoling Mausoleum, teams of Ming army soldiers in armor escorted the prisoners captured in this battle, walked through the Shinto path, and came to the front of the tombstone.

Zhu Hongyu narrowed his eyes, and ordered.

"Let's serve!"

Following Zhu Hongyu's order, each prisoner of war was verified and knelt down on the ground.

The executioner in charge of the execution stood behind the prisoners of war holding a ghost-headed sword.

These executioners in charge of execution all chose to serve the Manchurian Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing army after they surrendered.

Even Wu Tuo and Li Guoying were among the people in charge of the execution.

As the coach of the Qing army's Southern Expedition, Tu Hai was escorted to kneel at the front.

Tu Hai's eyes were full of unwillingness and anger, even though his mouth was stuffed with rags, he was still struggling.

It kept coming out of the throat, like the low growl of a beast before it died.

Standing in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's tombstone, Zhu Hongyu looked at the prisoners of the Qing army who were brought up, his eyes were cold.

Silently said to Zhu Yuanzhang who was lying in the Xiaoling Mausoleum in his heart.

And these are just the first batch!
Sooner or later, the unworthy descendants will send the slaves as sacrifices to the ancestors!
Zhu Hongyu turned his head, waved his hand and ordered.

"cut!"

Following Zhu Hongyu's order, a neat knife light flashed.

Pfft!Pfft!Pfft!

Heads were chopped off one by one, and blood was sprayed as if they didn't want money.

A large amount of blood was splashed on the ground, mixed with the loess used to pave the road, and turned into blood mud.

The smell of blood is pungent!
Tuhai was the last to be beheaded, and the rags from his mouth were pulled out.

But he didn't yell at Zhu Hongyu who was standing at the front under the tombstone.

Instead, he turned around and cursed bitterly at Wu Tuo and Li Guoying who were standing behind him.

"I curse you to be..."

It's just that he had just said half of the curse, when a knife flashed.

A human head was thrown out.

In a pair of eyes, there is only a strong unwillingness and resentment left.

The expression on Zhu Hongyu's face did not change at all, he just spoke coldly.

"Take out Hong Chengchou's body and cast a kneeling statue, so that the thieves will be left in history like Qin Hui!"

"I want everyone in the world to know the price of being a traitor and a traitor!"

Following Zhu Hongyu's order, a hollow iron kneeling statue was carried into Xiaoling.

The coffin containing Hong Chengchou's body was opened, and the body, which had rotted to a certain extent, was carried out.

A stench of corpses wafted from his nostrils, but Zhu Hongyu watched all this with a blank face!
Immediately afterwards, the corpse was stuffed into the iron kneeling statue!

Then, the iron kneeling statue was locked from the outside, leaving only a big opening on the top of the head.

Then, a large pot of red molten iron was transported to the kneeling iron statue.

In the next moment, red molten iron was poured into the iron kneeling statue.

呲!呲!
After a harsh sound, a burst of white smoke came out of the big hole above the head of the iron kneeling statue!
A smell of corpses and burnt flesh permeated the air.

Many people who stared at the movement here felt a chill behind their backs!
What a ruthless means!
Even Hong Chengchou was dead, and his body was not spared.

He even made a kneeling statue of Hong Chengchou's body, if this makes him notorious for thousands of years!
Gradually, that iron kneeling statue cooled down little by little!

Zhu Hongyu narrowed his eyes, and ordered.

"Pass down the order to transport this statue to the gate of Nanjing City, so that all the people who enter and leave the city can visit it at will!"

"Next to Guijiang, set up another stone tablet to make a clear record of Hong Chengchou's old thief Hong's body!"

"Gu must call Old Bandit Hong's legacy forever!"

"Do you understand?"

All the people around Zhu Hongyu responded in unison.

……

Qian's study!
After Zhu Hongyu finished worshiping Xiaoling, he returned to the Qian Mansion and continued to deal with official duties.

Continuously issue orders one after another!

With the takeover of the Jiangnan region by the Ming Dynasty, a large number of local officials were imprisoned for various crimes.

Although Zhu Hongyu urgently promoted a group of low-level officials to fill the vacancies, the lack of officials has become the biggest problem facing Ming Dynasty at this time.

Just when Zhu Hongyu was thinking about the solution, Qian Qianyi came to see him.

Zhu Hongyu said.

"Bring people in!"

Qian Qianyi strode up to Zhu Hongyu, bowed slightly, and then spoke.

"Your Highness, the big gentry in Nanjing have collected another 400 million taels!"

"I want to donate to Daming for military support!"

Zhu Hongyu was not happy when he heard this.

What he wanted was 1000 million taels, but these people in the city of Nanjing only came up with 600 million taels.

What about sending beggars?

Why, did he have to be reminded by Zhu Hongyu over and over again?

Zhu Hongyu just said with a cold face.

"At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Jiangnan was established, and there were so many vacancies for local officials. I decided to hold an additional Enke around the Qingming Festival in the spring of this year."

"Back then, when the imperial examinations were held in the Ming Dynasty, there were two rankings in the north and the south. Although the north has not been restored, it is still unavoidable."

"In the past, Nanzhili had the largest number of candidates in the entire South List."

"In fairness, there are more!"

"Gu is going to cut some of the candidates' places in Nanzhili and distribute them to Luzon. How does Qian Qing's family feel?"

As soon as Zhu Hongyu said this, Qian Qianyi was stupefied, but he immediately came to his senses.

Good guy!
His Highness Jian Guo is such a good move!

Cutting the number of places in the imperial examination directly hit the lifeblood of those people in Nanjing!

A smile appeared on Qian Qianyi's face, and then he spoke.

"Your Highness, I think the remaining 400 million taels will be available soon!"

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly and said.

"Well, whether to reduce the number of candidates for the Nanzhili imperial examination is still open to discussion, and we will discuss it later. I am lonely and tired, and I have to rest!"

The attitude is very clear, whether the number of places will be cut or not depends on whether the money can be in place!

Although Zhu Hongyu's method is a bit rogue, it is definitely useful.

Qian Qianyi clasped his fists and retreated.

After Qian Qianyi left, Zhu Hongyu summoned Wang Ruxian and gave instructions.

"Jiangnan was established in the early days of the Kingdom, and there are a large number of officials in various places under the rule!"

"As a result, many government affairs cannot be carried out smoothly, so I decided to open an additional Enke this spring."

"Hold an official recruitment examination, the secretariat and the cabinet will be connected, and make corresponding preparations as soon as possible!"

Wang Ruxian stopped and said.

"Your Majesty, is this an imperial examination in the traditional sense? Or an examination for recruiting officials?"

Zhu Hongyu said with a smile.

"It's easier for people to accept the official examination under the name of an imperial examination!"

"What Ming needs now is not dozens or hundreds of local officials who are proficient in poetry, books and articles, but thousands of officials who can really take root in the local area and handle specific affairs."
