Alliance of the Heavens and Ming Dynasty

Chapter 97 Vigorous means

"Wonderful."

Zhu Houzhao showed joy on his face, supported the royal family members to participate in the separation of the family, and dismembered the huge vassal king group, and how much trouble the vassal king group can cause in the future.

"Yan Song, if this plan succeeds, I will remember your great contribution!"

"Your Majesty, supporting the division of vassal kings is certainly a good strategy to divide the vassal kings of various places, but it is also a big problem who divides how much land!"

Wang Yangming frowned.

A vassal king has many clan branches under him, and whoever gets more and who gets less will cause a lot of trouble.

Again, don't worry about scarcity but inequality.

"Everything is divided according to the head, as many people get as much land!"

Zhu Houzhao sneered and said that he did not plan to give away all the land owned by the local vassal.

The local vassals are all first-class rich men. The land awarded by the court and the land they seized by themselves are beyond people's imagination.

What Zhu Houzhao thought was to distribute part of the land owned by the vassals to the royal family members, and then let them fend for themselves without caring about their lives, and all the remaining land would be nationalized and redistributed.

"How many acres of land can be allocated to one person, please come up with a charter as soon as possible."

"Also, I will leave it to you, Yan Song, to preside over the division of the vassal's land."

"According to the order!"

Qi Kangping and Zhu Yueqi's matter had not passed for a few days, and a new wave was raging again.

In the land of Jiangnan, the great eunuch Gao Feng seemed to have gone crazy, and kept checking the wealthy gentry in Jiangnan, as if he wanted to empty Jiangnan.

First, Jiang's family, a wealthy family in Suzhou, was arrested by Gao Feng under the pretext of bribing court officials and colluding with officials and businessmen.

The Qian family in Qiantang, the Su family in Hangzhou, and the Zhang family in Nanxun all called the wind and rain in the south of the Yangtze River. The unscrupulous gentry and wealthy families were ruthlessly suppressed by Gao Feng. Although there was a lot of scolding, it was useless.

When the man was angry, blood spattered five steps, when the emperor was angry, blood bleeds.

The shadow of horror shrouded the entire Jiangnan, and many people recalled the bloody purge after King Ning's rebellion was suppressed.

At that time, the gentry and rich families in Jiangnan were almost reduced by half. For a long time, people with a certain status in Jiangnan did not dare to sleep too hard, for fear that they would be suddenly taken away in their sleep!
Now that the storm of the Great Cleansing is sweeping again, they are still as powerless as ever, except for fear, there is only fear left.

They spend money everywhere and look for favors everywhere, but at this time, no one can save them. In the past, they were oppressed like grandsons. When they take office in Jiangnan, they must first meet them and obtain their approval before they can stay in Jiangnan. All sick at this time.

He was very ill, almost to the point of death, and even seeing them couldn't do it!The doors were closed one by one, and no one was seen.

"Master, if we avoid them like this, we will inevitably be hated in the future!"

In the yamen of the prefect of Suzhou, the wife of Hu Zanzong, the prefect of Suzhou, looked sad, and was very puzzled by Hu Zanzong's practice of hiding a group of wealthy gentry from the south of the Yangtze River.

"In the future, there will be no future!"

Holding a good Langhao brush, Hu Zanzong scribbled on the rice paper, wrote the four characters "serve the country with loyalty", and said lightly: "After this big cleansing, there will be no room for them to survive in the south of the Yangtze River!"

"They are too self-righteous. They think that they can influence that person's will by relying on their wealth and power in Jiangnan. It is naive."

"Since he came to power, he has spared no effort to suppress all forces, and his wrists are as ruthless and decisive as the emperor Taizu. How can he be coerced by them!"

"It's even more stupid to pull Qi Kangping into the water. It gave the emperor a reason to clean Jiangnan. Look at those people who were taken away by the great eunuch Gao Feng, which one has nothing to do with Qi Kangping."

"After this cleansing, Jiangnan is no longer the gentry's wealthy family, and the imperial court is the only heaven in Jiangnan."

Hu Zanzong saw the situation very clearly. The emperor had been dissatisfied with Jiangnan for more than a day or two. This time, the Jiangnan gentry united with the civil official group and used Qi Kangping as a pawn to lose the emperor's face, and even offended the emperor to death.

The wanton cleansing of Jiangnan was revenge from the emperor, and the investigation of Qi Kang and Pingyu's party was nothing more than an excuse. The purpose was to clean Jiangnan thoroughly.

If it was really to find out about Qi Kang and Pingyu's party, how could they find out about Wei Guogong's Xu family.

"Look, Jiangnan is about to change!"

Saying something meaningful, the brush in Hu Zanzong's hand kept moving on the rice paper, and he kept drawing the four characters "serving the country with allegiance", which aroused great waves in his heart.

His chance has come, and he no longer has to do nothing under the oppression of the wealthy gentry in the south of the Yangtze River!
Zhengde became an official in three years, and he is also a direct line official who was single-handedly promoted by Zhu Houzhao, but compared to Qi Kangping who was dragged into the water, he hides deeper.

"Gao Feng, what exactly do you want to do?"

The old Wei Guogong Xu Chu was furious, looking at the eunuch Gao Feng in front of him, he wished to kill him with a sword.

The arrest came to Duke Wei's mansion, Gao Feng was so courageous.

His Xu family is in decline. It is not as good as the Zhang family of England, which is deeply trusted by the emperor, and even the Mu family of the Duke of Qian, who guards Yunnan, but it is not something Gao Feng, a dead eunuch, can bully at will.

"Wei Guogong, you must know why our family came here, so you don't have to pretend to be confused, hand him over, and our family will turn around and leave, and we will never dare to offend you."

"But if you are obsessed with obsession, don't blame our family for not giving you face!"

Gao Feng replied unceremoniously, not afraid at all.

He is now carrying the emperor's order, and has the right to kill first and then play. A Wei Guogong who has nothing left except honor, really has no right to make him afraid.

"Gao Feng, you are too deceitful!"

Wei Guogong Xu Chu gritted his teeth, hated Gao Feng to death, and also hated Zhu Houzhao behind Gao Feng.

His grandson, Xu Pengju, was just confused for a moment. Couldn't he leave a way for Xu Pengju to survive? His Xu family is also the founding father of the Ming Dynasty!

"Wei Guogong, my family advises you, don't kill the whole Wei Guogong's mansion for a grandson."

Gao Feng's eyes were full of mockery, Xu Pengju participated in dragging Qi Kangping into the water, and committed various serious crimes, the emperor would not allow him if he wanted to let him go.

What's more, Wei Guogong's Xu family, as one of the old nobles, was originally the emperor's key target of suppression. Now that they have caught the Xu family's pigtails, how can they let them go easily.

"Gao Gonggong, don't tell lies in front of real people, what do you want to do to let my grandson go, you might as well speak up."

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Xu Yu forced himself to calm down. He knew that Gao Feng, or the person behind Gao Feng, didn't want Xu Pengju's life, but an attitude of his Wei Guogong Xu family.

"Wei Guogong is a smart man after all. Since you have said so, our family will not play charades with you."

"It's fine for our family to let Xu Pengju go, but the Xu family must unconditionally support His Majesty's reform."

Gao Feng took a deep look at Xu Yu and said, "This request should not be too much!"
