Chapter 74 Talking with swords and guns, suppressing troublemakers with an iron fist!
Sun Chengzong also hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, although the ministers are not talented, they are not without the heart of seeking the country!"
Zhu Guozuo followed suit and said: "That's right, your Majesty wants to rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty, and he has to rectify the court first, and purge those with ulterior motives in the Manchu Dynasty, thinking that he will reform and eliminate evils in the future! How can the ministers not know, and how can they be unwilling?"
Seeing that these ministers were all eager to express their opinions, Zhang Gui had no intention of not supporting the emperor's innovation and elimination of evils. For a while, he had to admit that these civil servants in the Ming Dynasty really needed other forces to force them to stay in the same dust. Only willing to cut their own flesh.
"It's just that the only worry for the ministers is that the gentry association of the world will cause severe taxation and cut off food supply because of your majesty's iron fist! If the uncle of the country really has a good plan, how dare we bend the father of the world for the sake of the world? Father Qu Wanmin too!"
Zhu Guozuo continued to say something here.
Sun Chengzong also asked: "I just don't know if Uncle Guo really has a solution to the crisis of grain shortage?"
"Your Majesty, if the uncle of the country can really have a good plan to make a living for the people of the world, I would like to be the first to ask to suppress the scholars outside who speak for the rebellious minister, and impeach him for the crime of treason and injustice!"
Yuan Keli also promised again.
"My royal family has a good plan, but it is not appropriate to tell you now. Your Majesty can promise them that if you can't do it, what will you do? However, no matter whether you can do it in the future or not, those scholars who are rebellious now have to do it. If you are suppressed, all traitors and traitors will be punished by the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhang Gui replied.
Tianqi nodded, and said: "I can promise to issue a minister with a clear decree. If the uncle Zhang Gui can't do it, we will take the head of Wei Zhongxian, and let the uncle go back to his original place to study. He will not be returned to Beijing unless it is a grand ceremony, and he will be withdrawn." Set up the West Factory!"
Tianqi was still reluctant to make a bet with Zhang Gui's head, and decided to sacrifice Wei Zhongxian first.
Wei Zhongxian was taken aback after hearing this: "Why is my head guaranteed again?! What does the bet between Uncle Guo and the civil servants have anything to do with me, Wei Zhongxian!"
"Your Majesty, are you serious?"
Yang Lian couldn't wait to ask.
He hates Wei Zhongxian the most, because Wei Zhongxian's Dongchang is the most ruthless in raiding the homes of the gentry, while the West Factory is currently only raiding the homes of profiteers in Zhangjiakou. Therefore, the gentry including Yang Lian can be said to hate Wei Zhongxian at present. To be eliminated because of this, it is naturally a happy thing for them.
Moreover, Yang Lian and other civil officials also know that Wei Zhongxian has a close relationship with Uncle Guo. Once Wei Zhongxian is not in the Supervisor of Rites, Uncle Guo, a foreign relative, will not be able to reach out to the government, and Han Yu, a treacherous minister, will also lose his position in the Sili. The Austrian aid of the ceremonial supervisor.
So, not only Yang Lian, but other civil servants are very happy with Tianqi's promise to use Wei Zhongxian's head as a guarantee!
Tianqi shouted: "I have already stated my purpose! Is it necessary to ask again?!"
"Since that's the case, I ask you to punish the rebellious scholars outside the capital procuratorate, so that the court can guide the country's law!"
Yuan Keli first stood up and held an elephant wat to report.
Tianqi smiled and said: "After all, it is Yuan Aiqing from the Planning Department. You are the first to ask for an order at this time."
"The minister also asks for an order to kill the rebellious scholars outside the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so as to uphold the country's law!"
Hanlin Chen Zizhuang also stood up and reported.
"You count as one!"
Tianqi nodded, then looked at other ministers, especially Sun Chengzong: "Is there anyone else?"
Sun Chengzong also stood up resolutely at this time: "I ask for an order to kill the troublemakers, so that the court can govern the law of the country!"
"I ask for an order to kill the troublemakers, so that the court can govern the country's law!"
The other ministers all stood up one after another.
Even Yang Lian also stood up and said: "Since Your Majesty has made a clear promise, how dare the ministers disobey the sacred will again, in order to show the law of the country, why not kill them! I also ask for an order to kill the troublemakers!"
In the end, all the ministers expressed their position to kill the troublemakers, even if they didn't want to, they didn't dare to disobey everyone's wishes at this time.
"Since that's the case, Zhang Gui, the governor of the left, took my order to order the students of the enlisted corps of the Armed Forces Academy to implement the anti-insurgency thing, and suppress all the scholars who conspired to insurrection!"
Apocalypse fate.
"yes!"
Zhang Gui responded.
He didn't have a good impression of these scholars who did not hesitate to force the court to let traitors like Li Sancai go for the benefit of their own gentry.
You know, people like Li Sancai have long regarded him as an enemy that must be eliminated quickly.
Zhang Gui will naturally not be soft on them and the gentry forces behind them.
What's more, Zhang Gui also knows that to take away the interests of these gentry and make the country strong again is not as simple as entertaining guests, and the use of violence is unavoidable.
Not long after, Zhang Gui took the order and came to the Enlisted Corps of the Armed Forces Academy temporarily stationed in the city.
"Emergency assembly!"
After Zhang Gui came, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, etc. shouted loudly according to Zhang Gui's order, and took the entire enlisted corps to gather in front of Zhang Gui.
Zhang Gui, on the other hand, admonished these enlisted students after the corps assembled: "This governor knows that you are all loyal and brave men who are dedicated to serving the country with loyalty to the army, and you will carry out all the emperor's orders without hesitation! Answer this governor, yes or no?!"
"yes!"
The enlisted students responded loudly.
"very good!"
Zhang Gui nodded, and said again: "You are also studying in class. Daming is now in a state of poverty and the people are poor. It is time to reform with an iron fist. What is reform with an iron fist? It is to dare to eradicate all evils to prevent it from being eradicated. Those! Including some of you who are also Jinshi Juren under the Eguanbo belt. Do you think so?"
The enlisted students responded loudly.
Zhang Gui went on to say: "And now you are all clear that the Jiannu we met last time came to slaughter all the soldiers and people in Xishan, including Your Majesty, to kill the king and disrupt the country, and block my way to revitalize the Ming Dynasty. And they were able to enter the customs because the traitors such as Li Xiuwu, Zhang Cunren and others colluded to build slaves. But now, there are a group of rebel scholars with evil intentions, but they want to complain about these traitors, saying that the court has wronged them and wants the court Release them, do you think you will agree, or ask the enlisted students who have died under Jiannu's hands, will they agree?!"
Some of the recruits were silent for a moment.
These people who were silent for a while were also famous scholars. After all, they belonged to the same class as the scholars who made trouble outside, so they needed to struggle and sort out their thoughts.
However, many enlisted students did not hesitate.
In history, Xu Du, who rebelled against the officials and gentry as a student, stood up at this time: "No!"
Then, Xu Du said: "The officials and gentry are tyrannical, brutal and harmful to the people, and now they want to coerce the court to violate the rules and regulations. They should be punished and killed. How can we promise them!"
"That's right, we don't agree! Those who collude with foreign captives should be executed. As a scholar, you can't tell right from wrong!"
Many enlisted students also responded.
In addition to the former frontier army or low-ranking military officers in the Beijing camp, most of the enlisted students in the military training school are from poor families. I don't pay so much attention to the word utilitarianism, but more on how to realize my ambition.
Therefore, most of the enlisted students are willing to follow Zhang Gui to kill the troublemakers.
And in the end, some of the remaining enlisted students who did not express their opinions also completed their ideological struggle under the influence of their classmates.
"No!"
"No!"
"No!"
…
At the end, these enlisted students all shouted in unison.
Zhang Gui pressed his hand to show his silence, and said, "Very good!"
Then, Zhang Guicai said: "There is a decree! Let the enlisted corps immediately suppress the rioters outside the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and shoot them to death!"
"yes!"
As he spoke, Zhang Gui turned around and waved his hand: "Let's go!"
Thus, more than a thousand enlisted students from the Armed Forces Academy rushed to the Metropolitan Procuratorate in an orderly manner holding firecrackers.
At this time, more and more scholars were still making trouble outside the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and their momentum was also getting louder.
Even Zuo Guangxian, the younger brother of Zuo Guangdou, the leader of the Donglin Party, joined in and suggested: "Since the Metropolitan Procuratorate does not accept our statement, let's beat Dengwen Drum!"
"That's right! Go beat the Dengwen drum!"
Some radical scholars also responded, and seemed to feel that the bigger the problem, the better.
Zuo Guang was the first to step out when he saw this: "Go!"
"Walk!"
Fang Dayou, Zhou Zhong, Chen Tingxian and others also responded.
All of a sudden, thousands of scholars began to turn around, ready to beat the Dengwen drum.
At that time, Zhang Gui also led the enlisted students from the Armed Forces Academy to rush over, and immediately surrounded these scholars.
These scholars were also a little surprised seeing this, and couldn't help but stop in place.
Zuo Guangxian couldn't help but said first: "What does the imperial court want to do, isn't it really afraid of self-consciousness among the world's scholars?!"
Zhang Gui ordered here: "Use the bayonet!"
"On the bayonet!"
Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting and other enlisted corps officials ordered loudly.
Kaka!
Kaka!
Kaka!
The enlisted students immediately put bayonets on their guns, held them flat in their hands, and walked towards these scholars.
Zhang Gui waved his raised hand: "Kill!"
"kill!"
The enlisted students shouted and rushed towards these troublemakers.
Zuo Guangxian's eyes widened in shock. Before he could react, Xu Du, who was running ahead, stabbed him in the chest.
Xu Du, who had been training assassination moves for a long time in the Armed Forces Academy, was very accurate in the assassination. Zuo Guang immediately caused blood to rush into his lungs because of the knife in his heart, and choked it out, spraying blood all over Xu Du's face.
Before he fell, Zuo Guang had to ask: "Xu Ziyu! You are also a scholar, why did you kill us?!"
"Because you guys are damned!"
Xu Du sneered.
