Song Hu looked at the things in front of him with emotion, "Good guy, there are too many of these things, I feel that these people's property is even richer than the Shanxi merchants who ransacked their homes back then.

You look at the boxes they keep the money in, some of the boxes are rotten and look like they've had a lot of time. "

Zhao Daniu walked over with a few personal guards, shuttled among these properties.

Blackened silver can be seen everywhere, many of which look like official silver.

Thinking about the origin of these official banks, they must not have been obtained through legitimate means.

In addition to the silver that looks like official silver, there are also silver coins issued by Xuanzhen, and there are quite a few of these silver coins.

In addition to a large amount of silver, there are also a large number of rare treasures, including tall corals, huge pearls, and gems.

All in all, as long as it is something of value, there is everything.

"Really rich!" Zhao Daniu stopped, looking at these properties, filled with emotion.

Zhao Daniu returned to Song Hu's side, pointed at these properties, and said, "I see, after these things are counted, they should be sent to Xuan Town as soon as possible."

"You're right, these things should be sent to Xuanzhen in time. How about this, let's transfer all the firewood cars in the general and send them to Xuanzhen with firewood cars." Song Hu replied.

"That's justified, these things are expensive, and they must be delivered to Xuan Town in the shortest possible time.

After sending these things away, I think we should send Wei Guogong and Che Jingde to Dengzhou. Zheng Yiguan is about to leave. " Zhao Daniu said.

"Let's ask His Majesty for instructions on this matter, and let His Majesty decide." Song Hu said.

Zhao Daniu nodded, "Then I will listen to you. When transporting property, please ask His Majesty for instructions."

……

Three days later, the convoy loaded with belongings headed towards Xuanzhen.

Zhao Daniu and Song Hu brought out all the firewood vehicles in their hands, a total of more than 100 firewood vehicles.

Although there are a lot of these firewood cars, they cannot be transported all at once.

These properties are not only silver and gold, but also some antique calligraphy and paintings, these things are not easy to transport.

Zhao Daniu and Song Hu didn't expect to be able to deliver all these things at once, but chose to have people transport things like silver and gold to Xuanzhen first.

While transporting these things, Zhao Daniu's East Road soldiers and horses had completely captured Huai'an Mansion.

The troops from the East Route entered the territory of Yangzhou Prefecture. After entering the territory of Yangzhou Prefecture, Zhao Daniu's troops from the East Route were invincible and looked down on the whole territory.

Like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, Yangzhou Mansion was quickly taken down.

After the soldiers and horses of the East Road captured Yangzhou Mansion, they left behind a certain amount of soldiers and horses, and then went south, preparing to attack Changzhou Mansion, Suzhou Mansion and Songjiang Mansion.

Song Hu's troops from the South Route also captured most of Anqing Mansion and Chizhou Mansion one after another.

At this time, Zhao Wen had also received the military report sent by Zhao Daniu.

This military report was sent by Zhao Daniu after he conquered Jinling City. The content of the military report is very simple, just a brief description of the results of the battle.

Zhao Wen wasn't too surprised by the outcome of the battle. With the weapons and equipment in the hands of Zhao Daniu and Song Hu, Zhao Wen would be surprised if they couldn't take down Jinling City.

Zhao Wen sat in the imperial study and put down the military newspaper in his hand.

"Send the military newspaper sent by Zhao Daniu and Song Hu to the newspaper office, and make it the headline on the front page tomorrow." Zhao Wen looked at Chen Donglai who was standing beside him.

Chen Donglai carefully picked up the general newspaper, and walked out of the imperial study with a few followers.

In the early morning of the next day, the new issue of the newspaper spread rapidly in Xuan Town.

The people in the city were not surprised by the victory of the war, but who would dislike the strength of their place?

Therefore, as soon as the new issue of the newspaper came out, it attracted a lot of looting from the people in the city.

The newspaper spread more and more widely, and was also brought to the capital by spies from the capital.

Not surprisingly, newspapers also reached Chongzhen's desk.

In the imperial study room, Chongzhen looked at the newspapers on the table with a blank expression on his face, no one knew what Chongzhen was thinking.

At this time, Chongzhen was more than ten years old, his temples were full of white hair, and he didn't want to look like a man who was nearly 30 years old.

"Jinling fell, Yingtianfu fell, and Nanzhili fell. I am Ming, and only Beizhili is left. There is only a big place like Beizhili left. Maybe in the future, there will be no such big place. It's gone." Chongzhen leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes, and sighed long.

Cao Huachun stood quietly beside Chongzhen, and persuaded: "My lord, everything will be fine!"

Cao Huachun has recruited more than 2 recruits in Beizhili, and now he has returned to the capital.

Chongzhen also arranged Cao Huachun by his side. As for Gao Qiqian, he was selectively forgotten by Chongzhen.

"Will it get better? Hehe, if I had said this five or six years earlier, I would have believed it, but now, I don't believe it at all.

If it weren't for the newspapers in Xuanzhen, I'm afraid I wouldn't even know that Jinling has fallen.It is estimated that the people in Nanzhili don't know whether the capital is still there. Maybe they thought the imperial court was gone.

All the passages between the capital and the outside world have been cut off by Thief Zhao, and now even the news cannot be sent out. Except for the capital and Beizhili near the capital, the rest of the place is not my Daming. "

Chongzhen's tone was very slow, full of lifelessness and depression, Chongzhen had completely lost confidence.

"My lord, don't the imperial court still have coastal areas like Zhejiang and Fujian in their hands? The situation is not too bad." Cao Huachun didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only say such unnutritious words.

"Haha, hahahaha!" Chongzhen smiled wryly, "Do these places have anything to do with the imperial court and the capital?

Sichuan, Henan, Shandong, and Huguang were taken by Zhao thieves, and the south completely lost contact with the capital. The imperial court has become an enclave with no more vitality.

Alright, I'm going to rest! "

Chongzhen stood up and walked towards the harem with a bitter expression on his face.

It is still broad daylight now, if it was in the past, Chongzhen would definitely not rest in broad daylight, but now Chongzhen's heart is dead.

Chapter 706 Conquering the whole territory of Nanzhili

A few days later, the gold and silver of Che Jingde and the gentry were sent to Xuanzhen.

For these gold and silver, Zhao Wen divided them into two parts: gold and silver.

Part of the gold was placed in the treasury, and the other part was sent to the mint.

The silver sent to the mint will be turned into silver coins, and these silver coins will flow into Xuanzhen and be used to build industries.

Together with the gold and silver, there was also a memorial sent by Zhao Daniu and Song Hu to Xuanzhen, which was a memorial about Che Jingde.

Zhao Wen sat in the imperial study, looking at the memorial sent by Zhao Daniu, with a gloomy face.

"I thought I was the court of the Ming Dynasty, and the court of the Ming Dynasty will treat you preferentially, but it doesn't mean that I will treat you preferentially.

He also said that without you, I would not be able to control Nanzhili.It's so funny, Nanzhili would only be better without you guys.

The banks of the Qinhuai River are indeed prosperous, but what does this prosperity have to do with the local people?It's just you gentry who are prosperous. Let all the people in Nanzhili raise you moths, it's really damned. "

Zhao Wen put down the memorial in his hand and looked at Chen Donglai.

"Let the Military Academy formulate, let Zhao Daniu and Song Hu execute the main planners of this matter, and the remaining family members will be escorted to Dengzhou and prepared to be exiled to America. Check all their property, and confiscate all the fields and shops under their names. , distribute it to the local people at an appropriate time. Also, if this kind of thing happens again in the future, follow this example." Zhao Wen looked at Chen Donglai and kept talking.

Chen Donglai walked out of the imperial study with Zhao Wen's order.

In the afternoon of that day, the imperial decree left Xuanzhen and headed towards Nanzhili.

Because of the trains and wood-burning cars, the speed was very fast, and the imperial decree reached Jinling City within a few days.

Zhao Daniu and Song Hu haven't left Jinling City yet. It's not that they don't want to leave. It's just that Jinling City has just been captured and there is a lot of silver in Jinling City. There are many things that have not been cleared up, so they can't leave for the time being.

In front of the gate of Wei Guogong's mansion, Zhao Daniu and Song Hu took the imperial decree from the officials who announced the decree.

"The two generals are busy first, I'll go first!" The person who announced the decree was from the military academy, he bowed his hands at Zhao Daniu and Song Hu, and then turned and left with his entourage.

"Aren't you going to stay for a meal? Why are you in such a hurry?" Zhao Daniu shouted at the top of his voice as he looked at the backs of them leaving.

"No, thank you two generals for your kindness!"

The person who announced the decree gradually disappeared on the road, leaving only this sentence.

Zhao Daniu held the imperial decree in his hand, and a hint of ferocity flashed in his eyes.

The next morning, Che Jingde and other main planners were taken by Zhao Daniu to the square outside the Jinling Palace.

Zhao Daniu wanted to use the lives of Che Jingde and others to deter disobedience in Jinling City.

There is a high platform outside the Jinling Palace, which was built overnight by Zhao Daniu.

On the high platform, Che Jingde and other major planners lined up, with their arms tied behind their backs, kneeling on the ground.

Behind them, there are rows of executioners holding ghost-headed swords.

Zhao Daniu stood at the front of the high platform, holding a piece of rice paper in his hand, and read aloud the content on the rice paper.

The rice paper records the crimes committed by Cha Jingde and others over the years.

After Zhao Daniu read the content of the declaration, he turned around and looked at Che Jingde and the others behind him.

"The time has come, prepare for execution." Zhao Daniu shouted loudly to the executioner behind him.

Che Jingde's mouth was stuffed with a rag, and he was escorted by two soldiers to kneel on the ground. When he heard Zhao Daniu's voice, his body trembled violently.

No one wants to die, at least people like Che Jingde don't want to die.

Che Jingde's eyes were wide open, and tears and snot flowed all over the floor.

"How dare they, how dare they do this? Aren't they afraid of offending the entire Shilin? How dare they do this?"

Che Jingde kept roaring in his heart, he really couldn't understand, how dare these people kill them like this.And it's still this kind of shameless killing, and it's still in public.

Che Jingde could never figure it out, he couldn't figure it out at all.

For the rulers of all dynasties, the gentry is more of a cooperative relationship.

The reason why the rulers of all dynasties chose to treat the gentry preferentially was not that they were really willing to treat the gentry preferentially, but that they had no choice.

If those rulers could find a substitute, they would probably be much more ruthless than Zhao Wen in treating the gentry.

Che Jingde didn't know the relationship, he only knew that gentry should be treated preferentially.It is precisely because of this reason that his confidence is bursting.

The light of the knife on the high platform kept flashing, and the heads rolled down one by one.

The smell of blood pervaded the high platform, Zhao Daniu just frowned, showing no mercy.

If they had mercy on them, who would have mercy on the people who were oppressed by them?

Jinling City was extremely prosperous, and in the final analysis, it was just a carnival for the gentry.What does it have to do with those ordinary people?

After the execution, Zhao Daniu had the corpses hung up on bamboo poles and placed on the wall of Jinling City to warn the remaining local gentry.

It is not to say that all gentry are heartless, but the proportion of gentry who are heartless is very large.

In the afternoon, Che Jingde and his family members were loaded into a firewood truck and sent to Dengzhou.

They were also accompanied by people from the Duke of Wei's mansion. Zhao Daniu did not wantonly kill the people from the Duke of Wei's mansion.

Although these people are high-ranking nobles, they are nothing compared to gentry like Che Jingde.

After doing these things, Zhao Daniu and Song Hu left ten thousand soldiers in Jinling City.

Jinling City has a large area and a large population, so it needs a little more soldiers left behind.

Zhao Daniu and Song Hu led troops to attack the remaining places in Zhili in the south.

At the end of August, Zhao Daniu and Song Hu captured all of Nanzhili.

It took two months from dispatching troops to taking Nanzhili.

After taking down the entire territory of Nanzhili, Zhao Daniu and Song Hu did not choose to continue to attack, but stayed in Nanzhili to rest.

During the rest period, Zhao Wen sent officials to take over Nanzhili.

The area of ​​Nanzhili is very large, so the number of officials Zhao Wen sent this time is a bit large.

In addition to the officials from Huguang and other places in Shandong, so many people almost emptied the university.

If Zhao Wen hadn't increased the number of students enrolled before, I'm afraid it really wouldn't be able to handle it.

After these officials entered Nanzhili, the first thing they did was to clean up the gentry.

When cleaning up the gentry, the main target is those evil gentry and bullies.Once these evil gentry and bullies are identified, they will be sent to Dengzhou.

As for those kind gentry, they didn't deal with it much.

Nanzhili is a place where the style of writing flourishes, and the number of gentry is not comparable to other places. The number of evil gentry and bullies cleared out is also much more than other places.
