Chapter 474: Massacre in Guangdong and shock in Jiangnan
Qi Hongliang knew Wang Xuan's formal style. He had already done this in Fujian, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was very experienced. He had no doubt that the matter would be a complete success, but... in his opinion, it was still too rough.
, it was hard for Neng to bear it for a while.
"This problem is not a big one, but it is best for the eleven governments to take action at the same time to prevent a series of connections. This requires sufficient troops to suppress." Qi Hongliang nodded and said: "The other thing is that experts are needed to suppress the formation. These big families
The masters need to deal with it first."
"No problem." Wang Xuan nodded slightly, and then gave the order to mobilize all the first-class masters under his command to Guangdong to stand by, including Qinghongzaobai, Yehuo, Yue Buqun, Tian Boguang, Dingyi, Liu Zhengfeng, and Qu Yang.
Orders were passed down one after another, and the 9,000 newly trained people, plus 10,000 blood-slaying troops, were mobilized, with 2,000 people assigned to each prefecture on standby.
This transfer immediately attracted the attention of all the upper-level figures in the entire GD province. Everyone did not understand why the army that had just been mobilized was mobilized back again when Lianzhou Prefecture faced Annan's attack.
However, no one paid attention to the fact that these soldiers were very different from before. The first was their marching speed, which was almost twice as fast as before. The second was that there was no harassment along the way.
At the same time, after receiving the letter from Wang Xuan, Qinghongzaobai and others took a big boat and went straight to Lianzhou Mansion for a peace meeting. On weekdays, everyone is busy, but it is rare for people to be so tidy. Wang Xuan directly arranged a barbecue party.
Let’s have a nice meal and have a drink together.
During this period, Wang Xuan also paid attention to his son who was in a mess. He was very curious about how a chicken cutter treated his son. The little guy was five years old now, and he was lively and cute. However, every time he saw the boy, he called out "Mom".
'...
"When is Dingyi Guliang going to marry Tian Boguang?" After drinking for a while, everyone gradually let go. Wang Xuan looked at Dingyi and teased with a smile.
"It's not because you have so many things going on here, one thing after another, that's why you put things off again and again." Dingyi rolled her eyes. Although her figure and appearance had changed a lot, her bold temper had not changed at all.
.
"It's my fault!" Wang Xuan laughed loudly, "Okay, after this busy period is over, I'll let you marry Tian Boguang first!"
"Wait a minute..." Tian Boguang put down his wine glass and looked at Dingyi with a dissatisfied look on his face, "You bitch, let me tell you, don't push yourself too far!"
"I'm just trying to push the envelope, so what do you!" Dingyi tilted his neck, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked sideways at Tian Boguang. The two of them were about the same strength. They sparred a lot on weekdays, and Tian Boguang couldn't do anything against Dingyi.
This scene made everyone laugh, "Tian Boguang, you have to practice your skills harder, otherwise your husband will be weak!"
After laughing for a while, Wang Xuan asked Yue Buqun about the popularity of Taoist temples. This point worked quite well, especially under Wang Xuan's new concept. The Taoist temples only enshrine the original Three Pure Ones, and there are also many gods.
, some people pray for good fortune and some pray for children. Of course, the most popular ones are Wenquxing and the God of Wealth. The incense is also at its peak every day, but to a certain extent, it has replaced Buddhism's status among the people of Fujian.
In particular, Wang Xuan came up with an idea to find out the influential family ancestors in a place and make them officials like city gods or land officials. People have made your ancestors gods. If you don't support Taoism, who else do you want to support?
!
This is the most effective method, and it plays a decisive role in opening up local beliefs. Even worshiping local gods makes you close to them...
Regarding Taoism, Wang Xuan has very strict requirements, and it is absolutely prohibited to involve land and property. All sources of income come from incense, rituals, Feng Shui and other sources, allowing these Taoist priests to become people who can create value to a certain extent.
At the same time, Taoist priests are not allowed to get married, eat meat, and other restrictions. This kind of suppression of human nature will only make people gradually become distorted. Of course, it is better if you really wholeheartedly follow Taoism.
Early the next morning, we divided into three teams and set off to solve the problems in the three prefectures at once. After that, we changed horses without changing people and went straight to the next place. There was no way, Wang Xuan only had so many first-class masters in the province.
It is impossible to activate them at the same time. You can only find a way to create a time difference and try to use the power in your hand to the maximum.
Fortunately, Wang Xuan's attack was very sudden. There was no warning at all before this. Suddenly, the target mansion was surrounded by a large army, and the charges were read out openly. The voice full of internal power could be heard clearly by people within a few miles.
A local top big family has many children. It is simply impossible to say that all of them are honest people and do not cause trouble. Especially for some families with unhealthy family traditions, there are not too many various crimes. Guangdong alone
With what Jin Yiwei has collected over the years, he can kill these big dogs.
For example, riding the famous horse 'Ferrari' in the city, running the horse over and killing people, forcing some 'in-depth exchanges' with women of the people, colluding with the government, taking over other businesses, there are so many messy things, they are nothing if taken individually.
If you put them all together, it feels like they are too numerous to describe.
What Wang Xuan wants is to have a good reputation. After all, in the future, he will value the rule of law more. Now he does not want to lay a bad foundation, which will be detrimental to future social stability. Of course, this is under normal circumstances, and he will not
When everyone was shocked, they directly launched an attack, and no one in the house was spared. This action was so fast that before anyone could react, it blew through the entire Guangdong like a strong wind.
Countless pieces of rubbish were removed. After the blow, the whole province of Guangdong was indeed given a new look.
It doesn't work if it's not new. This sudden massacre does not comply with the laws of the Ming Dynasty at all. Even the death penalty should be reported to the court for execution, let alone the confiscation of the family and the annihilation of the clan.
Generally speaking, if rebellion is not involved, there will be no such severe punishment. It is obvious that this is done deliberately.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although the people killed in this wave are the ones with the worst reputation, it also makes the other aristocratic families feel sad. In the eyes of different people, it looks like
Things are different.
In the eyes of the people, this incident was a big deal, and everyone applauded, saying that "Mr. Wuzhou" was fair and strict, and that because Qingtian was alive, the people finally had a place to redress their grievances.
Yes, Mr. Wuzhou, when the verdict was read out, this was the name he mentioned, not Qi Hongliang. Wang Xuan would not let anyone do such a thing that made him famous.
Of course, even if he wanted to give Qi Hongliang the limelight, Qi Hongliang would not dare to do it. Looking at history, there are only a few people who dare to do this kind of massacre of aristocratic families.
But in the eyes of the aristocratic family, this is cruelty, incompetence, indiscriminate killing of innocent people, massacre of 'common people', and greed. Anyway, all derogatory words can be used to describe Wang Xuan.
At the same time, regarding the news about Wang Xuan, these aristocratic families also began to mobilize all their efforts to investigate. Wang Xuan's deeds were reported back from Fujian one by one, but this caused divisions among the major aristocratic families who originally shared the same hatred.
The top families were frightened because Wang Xuan massacred seven aristocratic families in Fujian and did the same in Guangdong. However, at the same time, the second-rate families were very fond of Wang Xuan because of the development of Xiaoliuqiu and the rapid development of the family.
As for the small and medium-sized families, they are not able to find out much information. They can only hear hearsay. The information is good and bad, such as land inventory, tax increase and tax reduction, but relatively speaking, Fujian is not ten times richer than before, but it is certain.
, which actually makes everyone somewhat expectant.
Anyway, with the passage of time, ripples began to rise in the upper class society in Guangdong, and the exchanges between them increased significantly, all of which were discussing Wang Xuan's affairs.
While everyone was talking, Wang Xuan did not contact anyone. Instead, he started recruiting soldiers step by step. Anyone who was selected would be given twenty acres of land as a gift. Faced with this temptation, those who applied for the job would have to go to Fujian.
Still using the force, the recruitment was full in just half a month. Eleven prefectures were fully recruited, and the number reached 62,000.
In order to supply the consumption of more than 60,000 people, large ships came to Guangdong from Fujian in an endless stream, and a large amount of materials were transported. At the same time, Wang Xuan was willing to purchase locally, even if the price was higher, and he expected to take it.
Give it first, let these aristocratic families in Guangdong taste the sweetness.
For Wang Xuan, as long as the recruitment of troops is completed, everything will be on the right track. With the soldiers on the battlefield, all subsequent reform issues will no longer be a problem. However, his series of actions touched the hearts of another wave of people.
…
The five major families, Gao, Xu, Qian, Gu, and Tang, are all rooted in the land of Jiangnan and occupy one area. They are the five major families that are famous in the entire Jiangnan region, and they are also the five families with the most power and reputation.
If divided by party, there is the Donglin Party headed by Gu Xiancheng and Gao Panlong, the Zhejiang Party headed by Cabinet Assistant Shen Yiguan, Fang Congzhe and Yao Zongwen in Geishizhong, the Huguang Renguan Yingzhen in Geishi and the Zhejiang Party headed by Wu Liangsi.
"Chu Party"; "Qi Party" headed by Qi Shijiao and Zhou Yongchun from Shandong Province, and Xuan Party headed by Tang Binyin from Xuanzhou.
Jiangnan is the essence of the Ming Dynasty and the place with the most complicated forces, but Wang Xuan's series of actions in Guangdong attracted the attention of all the parties and big families in Jiangnan.
In the past, Wang Xuan only worked in Fujian. Even if he developed Xiaoliuqiu, it could only be regarded as consolidating his own one-third of an acre. After all, Wang Xuan was from Fujian. In the eyes of major aristocratic families, this would not have much impact.
However, Wang Xuan suddenly took advantage of the Annan incident to attack Guangdong and wiped out more than a dozen families in Guangdong with thunderous force. This was considered to be a violation of the line by the major families in the south of the Yangtze River.
The first to get the exact news was the Chu Party in neighboring Guangdong, but when the news spread, it immediately caused an uproar. The dozen or so families that were massacred in Guangdong would be nothing if placed in Huguang.
After all, Huguang is well versed in the world. Whether it is the number of acres of land, family property, or local influence, it is simply incomparable to the major families in Huguang.
But Wang Xuan actually attacked these people. So, if he becomes more powerful in the future, will he also attack the major families in Huguang?
This is not the first time Wang Xuan has done this. When he was in Fujian, he slaughtered seven aristocratic families. It can also be said that Wang Xuan did it to expand his influence in Fujian. It was a replacement of old and new. So what about Guangdong?
In Huguang, Wuchang Prefecture, and the prefectural city, the official family headed by Guan Yingzhen and Wu Liangsi, the Wu family, and six other major families gathered together to discuss a countermeasure against Wang Xuan who suddenly went crazy.
