Wei Zheng's guarantee is still very credible for Emperor Chongzhen.

Therefore, when Qian Zongshu sent the final negotiation results to the capital, the imperial edict from the court moved the capital to Nanjing spread throughout the capital in just one day. Then, the imperial edict quickly spread like a plague in the Ming Dynasty.

Although the imperial edict issued by the court clearly wrote down several conditions proposed by Wei Zheng, the royal relatives and nobles in the capital who claimed to be arrogant and arrogant did not take these conditions into consideration at all.

After receiving the imperial edict to move the capital, these royal relatives who could only have status and wealth with the court were like moving, crashing all the wealth that could be taken away from their families and preparing to follow them to Nanjing with them.

As for the houses and land they owned in Northern Zhili, after they left Northern Zhili, all of them were taken over to the Northern King's Mansion.

Some people want to say that since that is the case, then leave a family member at home in Beijing and continue to occupy the houses and land. After all, it is impossible for the Beiwang Palace, which took over the entire Beizhili, to directly snatch these houses and land from them.

However, people who have this kind of thinking are obviously causing trouble for themselves.

Because, along with the imperial edict of the imperial relocation of the capital, there were also a series of taxes and policies for the Northern King’s Mansion for these lands and houses.

After the Beiwang Palace accepted the entire Beizhili, the tax ratio of Beizhili was collected in accordance with the Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces. The per capita land of less than 20 acres will be paid as grain tax every year.

For those with 20 to 50 acres of land per capita, the extra part needs to pay 40% of the income per year as grain tax.

For those with 50 to 100 acres of land per capita, the extra part must pay 60% of the income per year as grain tax.

As for those with an average of more than 100 acres per capita, the extra grain tax directly reaches 80% of the harvest.

It can be said that after the Northern King's Mansion was in charge of Beizhili, the large amount of land held by these royal relatives was no longer a hen that could lay golden eggs for them, but a gold-swalking beast that swallowed all their property.

In addition, at this time, no one was willing to pay for these land. The best way for these royal relatives to deal with these land is to give them up directly...

So, at this moment, they directly crashed all the things they could take away and were ready to leave Beijing City completely.

When Wei Zheng hurried to Beijing with the cavalry division, the imperial court's move to the capital officially began.

Emperor Chongzhen, with a group of concubines, princes, and countless palace maids and eunuchs in the harem... under the escort of ten thousand imperial guards, he was the first to leave Beijing City.

Wei Zheng did not conduct too strict inspections on Emperor Chongzhen's huge convoy. After all, Chongzhen was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he still had to give the face he should give. Besides, no matter how many big carts he gave to Emperor Chongzhen, Chongzhen had no much to take away. Who made him the most moneyless emperor in the history of the entire Ming Dynasty?

Emperor Chongzhen easily prevented fires and controlled more than 80% of the wealth of the royal relatives and nobles in Beijing. Wei Zheng did not intend to let go.

One of the very important reasons is that the huge wealth owned by these royal relatives was obtained by them for hundreds of years of harvesting and exploiting the people. Since these wealth were all from the people of Northern Zhili, Wei Zheng certainly would not allow them to take them away.

At this moment, at the gate of the east gate of Beijing City, a huge convoy was blocked in the urn city by a cavalry battalion of the Tiger and Leopard Army. The owner of the convoy, also a marquis of the Ming Dynasty, was confronting the cavalry battalion with hundreds of servants, clamoring to leave Beijing City...

"Bastard, do you know who I am? I am the marquis of the Ming Dynasty. Even when the emperor saw me, he was polite. What kind of thing do you dare to block my way. You are not afraid that I will let the emperor kill you and kill your nine clans..."

The one standing in front of this marquis was nothing but Wei Zheng dressed as a battalion commander of a cavalry battalion.

When the other party was shouting, Wei Zheng didn't say a word, but just looked at the other party motionlessly. When the so-called marquis finished speaking, a strong murderous aura emanated directly from Wei Zheng.

While everyone around us was watching, he ordered loudly: "Why are you still stunned? Have you forgotten the military order issued by the commander before we set off? Have you forgotten the identity of the Tiger and Leopard Army? Lift your gun immediately. I don't care who he is. As long as I don't follow the rules, take another step forward, shoot immediately, and shoot him to death..."

"Crash..." After a musket collision sounded, the musketeers standing behind Wei Zheng raised the musketeers at the same time as if they had agreed. Not only that, hundreds of musketeers guarding the city wall also held the musketeers from a high place.

Facing the black muzzle beside him, the servant guarding the side of the Marquis showed a look of horror. What's more, his hands holding the weapon had already begun to tremble due to nervousness.

However, the Marquis surrounded by everyone did not feel that the danger had come to him.

He has never been threatened with death, and he thinks that the other party will not dare to shoot. The reason for doing this must be to scare himself.

Therefore, when the servants around him began to be timid, the arrogant expression on the Marquis's face not only did not weaken at all, but became more and more prosperous. He pointed at Wei Zheng and continued to shout...

"Isn't it just a musket? I am so old and I have never been pointed at by a musket. I don't believe it. You really dare to shoot at me at the risk of being destroyed by the Nine Clans..."

After saying that, the desperate marquis directly ordered the servants around him: "Don't be afraid. Even if I give them ten courage, these tiger and leopard troops dare not shoot..."

"I will take out my marquis' ability to bully people by virtue of their power and rush out of the city gate, so that these tiger and leopard troops will know that the Marquis' Mansion cannot be bullied if they want to bully them. My marquis left this talk today and escorted me to rush out of the city gate, each of them will give it to everyone after they leave the city, and they will never be deducted..."

Faced with the other party's arrogance, Wei Zheng still didn't say anything.

However, Wei Zheng, with a sneer on his face, took out a short pipe from the guard and fired a musket when the other party ordered it, and pointed at the head of the marquis a few steps away, waiting for him to attack the city gate...

Under the temptation of silver, hundreds of servants gradually gained courage. At this time, after some servant shouted, he waved his sword in his hand and rushed towards the tiger and leopard army guarding the city gate.

With the leadership of this servant, the remaining servants followed suit and rushed towards the city gate with the marquis.

Facing the Marquis who was getting closer and closer to him, Wei Zheng quickly flashed a trace of murderous intent on his face, and pulled the trigger without thinking.

Driven by gunpowder, the hot lead bullet quickly flew out of the barrel that was only one foot long. Then, without any pause, it hit the Marquis' head and opened a bloody hole on the Marquis' forehead.

Wei Zheng, who was standing a few steps away, clearly saw that the moment the Marquis was shot, his eyes, who were still very arrogant just now, were directly covered by shock and despair.

Just as the Marquis fell heavily to the ground with his unwillingness before his death, the musketeers guarding Wei Zheng also pulled the trigger.

The gunshots rang out, and the dozen servants who rushed in front were beaten into a hornet's nest before they could react.

As for the remaining servants, there was only one thought in their mind, that was, their master had miscalculated, and the Tiger and Leopard Army standing in front of them had to shoot, and they were finished...

After having this idea, their subconscious reaction was to stop and run backwards.

However, no matter how fast their reaction is, they are not as fast as their lead bombs' flight speed.

In just a blink of an eye, three rounds of gunfire sounded like beans at the city gate. As for the less than a hundred servants, except for the forty or fifty who were killed and injured, the remaining servants were all pale and trembling, kneeling at the city gate...

Smelling the smell of bloody smoke in the air, Wei Zheng finally showed a smile on his cold and solemn face.

Because the current situation at the city gate was exactly what he wanted to see.

It not only plays a role in killing the chicken to warn the monkey, but also uses the reason that the Marquis had been beaten to death to attack the city gate to investigate and confiscate all the hundreds of carts and property parked at the city gate.

So Wei Zheng, whose face regained his seriousness, directly ordered: "The Marquis rushed to the city gate and killed him on the spot... All the property of the Marquis' Mansion was confiscated, and each family distributed 1,000 taels of silver and left Beijing City on its own."

In the midst of the cries, the Marquis's Mansion had accumulated hundreds of years of wealth, and was all seized by the Tiger and Leopard Army. The bodies of dozens of household servants who were killed by the Tiger and Leopard Army were also dragged away. The only thing left was that the bloody stains still emitted from the ground.

As for why we didn't clean up these blood stains, Wei Zheng gave a very simple reason and was also overbearing...

Leaving these bloodstains to shock other royal relatives and nobles who are about to leave the city, letting them know that the authority of the Tiger and Leopard Army is not challenging. On the territory of the Tiger and Leopard Army, everything must be followed by the rules of the Tiger and Leopard Army, no matter who you are, your identity and status.

The massacre and gunfire that occurred at the city gate spread throughout Beijing in less than a day.

At the beginning, the royal relatives who didn't take the Tiger and Leopard Army seriously became honest when facing the risk of raiding homes and extermination.

However, another question followed them.

According to the rules set by the Tiger and Leopard Army, each of them can only take away a limited number of large trucks. And the large amount of wealth they have, closely related to these large trucks, will definitely not be taken away.

So, a difficult choice was placed before them.
