Chapter 43
With Zhu Youzhen's order, the commander of the Jinyi Guard immediately summoned the Jinyi Guards in the whole city and began to search and arrest in the capital, causing people to turn over on their backs, chickens and dogs jumping.
In the Guozhang Mansion, Zhou Kui watched his hard-earned family business all be wiped out by Jinyiwei, and collapsed and sat on the ground and scolded.
"Qin Feng! What kind of video are you posting? It doesn't matter if you have a video, the old man is going bankrupt! Isn't this asking for the old man's life?"
He had a handful of snot and tears, and he was about to die of distress.
In history, Li Zicheng came to Beijing and arrested him, and killed his wife and son in front of him.
It wasn't until Li Zicheng was tortured that he finally couldn't stand it anymore and spit out all the money.
The best punishment for a man like this is to take all his money, which is even more painful than cutting his flesh with a knife.
Of course.
Zhou Kui is not the only one who is unlucky.
Almost all the dignitaries and nobles in the capital were looted by the Jinyi Guard.
Time.
Wailing rang out inside and outside the capital.
But the common people were happy to cry these people.
Oh yes!
Daming is going to die, the people can't eat enough every day, you group of dignitaries who should be killed, you are reluctant to give up a penny, just want to watch Daming perish.
Damn it!
Just like the video released by Qin Feng, Jin Yiwei looted a full 20 million taels of silver in the mansions of high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital.
When these white flowers and silver were placed in front of Zhu Youzhen, he was already trembling with anger.
"These bastards, I treat them as henchmen, and they treat me as the sixth child!"
Zhu Youzhen learned the words of later generations and scolded loudly.
At the beginning, he was still a little skeptical about the authenticity of Qin Feng's video, and he couldn't believe that those who were officials would have so much money.
Even he, the emperor, is almost poor as pants, and others must not be the same as him?
But the fact turned out to slap him in the face, and it also confirmed the authenticity of Qin Feng's video.
"Looks like I'm still too kind to them!".
Zhu Youzhen gritted his teeth, he decided that from today onwards, he would never be soft on these people again.
But after getting so much silver, Zhu Youzhen was still very happy.
He is now in dire need of money, the military salaries of the frontier soldiers have been in arrears, and disaster relief is also needed in various places, and this money simply solves his urgent need.
Zhu Youzhen immediately ordered the money to be sent out, and they were all escorted by Jinyiwei and the generals who came to the capital to report on their work, to ensure that no one would be allowed to be corrupted again.
On the southern battlefield, Governor Lu Xiangsheng frowned, and his heart was full of worries.
Nowadays, the situation in the Ming Dynasty is becoming more and more difficult, there are disasters everywhere, and the people can't afford to eat, and even survival has become a luxury.
And the uprising armies in various places have sprung up more and more, and the momentum is getting bigger and bigger.
On the other hand, Lu Xiangsheng himself, although he holds the elite regular army of the imperial court and seems to be extremely powerful, he has actually not been paid military salary for more than a year.
Almost every day there were mutinies among the sergeants, and the camp was full of complainants.
Lu Xiangsheng has reached the limit.
If this continues, I am afraid that the battle will not have to be fought anymore, and the regular army of the Ming Dynasty led by him will collapse without a fight.
No matter how brave and loyal the soldiers are, they can't make them feel that they are dying in vain.
Lu Xiangsheng was both hopeful and worried.
He has also seen the video released by Qin Feng before, and those high-ranking officials in the capital are crazy about accumulating money for themselves, completely ignoring the danger of the country.
They're damned!
But can Your Majesty really be ruthless?
If not, what should Daming do?
Where did the silver come from?
"Alas!".
Lu Xiangsheng sat slumped in the chair, feeling his body hollowed out, exhausted to the extreme.
"General!General!".
The soldiers happily ran to the camp tent and announced: "The imperial court has paid the army!"
"What did you say!?".
Lu Xiangsheng almost bounced up from his chair and strode out of the tent excitedly.
Sure enough, in the crowd of soldiers watching, there were dozens of boxes of white flowers and silver in front of Lu Xiangsheng's handsome tent, as well as a lot of wine and meat.
"The sky has eyes!"
"Qin Feng, I, Lu Xiangsheng, thank you!".
Lu Xiangsheng wept bitterly and bowed to the north.
He didn't know if Qin Feng, who was after 1800, could know his mood at the moment, but he at least did his best.
The food and salaries were distributed to various places, and the governors and generals in various places were all relieved, and they were very grateful to Qin Feng in their hearts.
If it weren't for the video released by Qin Feng, Emperor Chongzhen would not have been able to raise so much money in a short period of time.
It is no exaggeration to say that a video of Qin Feng continues the national glory of the Ming Dynasty!
Hongwu, after watching Chongzhen's self-hanging and the fall of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's mood couldn't calm down for a long time.
"Dad, don't be too sad, the Ming Dynasty has been in the country for nearly 300 years, and it is also a leader in history. "
Zhu Biao persuaded him.
"Boss, we're not sad but confused. "
Zhu Yuanzhang put his hands behind his back, squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, and said, "We are thinking, what will happen if the king of the future generations is not the descendant of the fourth child but your descendant?"
"You are very good, the fourth child is also very good, and your sons Xiongying and Gao Chi have not lived up to our expectations. "
"But the back?".
"None of us are immortals, we all have to lie in the coffin with our eyes closed sooner or later, and no one can predict what the kings of the future generations want to do. "
Zhu Di scratched his head and asked puzzledly, "Dad, what do you want to say?"
Zhu Biao had already understood what Zhu Yuanzhang meant, and replied: "Dad wants to find an answer, a way to break through the curse of the dynasty's destruction." "
"Dad, me, or you, no matter how powerful we are, we will die sooner or later, and we can't protect the Ming Dynasty forever. "
"If the kings of later generations are like Zhu Qizhen, then won't the Ming dynasty be stable?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao with satisfaction, nodded and said, "In the end, the boss, the fourth, you are still very tender." "
Zhu Di smiled embarrassedly, but said indifferently: "Of course I can't compare to my eldest brother, as long as my eldest brother is here, I will always be his general of the expedition to the north." "
Seeing the brothers working together so together, Zhu Yuanzhang's mood was slightly relieved.
He said: "Boss, you only said half of our mind right, and there is another half, you didn't think of it. "
Zhu Biao couldn't help but ask curiously, "Dad, are you thinking about more than that?"
