Chapter 249 Conflict
The marching team slowly approached the imperial city like a flood, and the momentum became increasingly louder. Tianlai Novel
Chen Mingxia and other literary figures even held their heads and chests with their heads raised, and walked in front with justice with a group of people.
On their heads were banners several feet long, and the parade slogans on the banners resounded throughout Jinling City through their duck-like shouts.
In addition, there was someone holding a white plate with a big word "名" written on it!
There are even big-character posters by Li Mingrui and others, and no one knows how these people thought of these.
In the Ming Dynasty, many new things were always revealed, which was not uncommon.
But every time they pass by a street or alley, the street or alley will become a mess, and the Ming Dynasty high-end restaurant decorated with the latest glass is smashed to pieces.
The blue-gray walls were also filled with a lot of insults. I don’t know whose big water tank was smashed, and the water flowed all over the floor, wetting the grain in the next door.
Of course, the grain in the next grain shop was not spared. The rice as white as pearls rolled all over the floor, and only the shopkeeper knelt on the ground and howled.
Zhu Youxiao had known that there would be today's parade in Lishui Pavilion, and coupled with the report from the Dongchang, the demonstrations such as students from various prefectures in Jiangnan were already expected.
Wu Jin also asked whether to arrest the important elements who secretly planned the matter first, but Zhu Youxiao did not agree.
It is better to be relieved than to block it. Zhu Youxiao knew very well that this demonstration was not just because of the instigation of scholars such as Fushe. At least the fundamental reason was not, but the dissatisfaction of the people in Jiangnan with the court and society had reached a threshold. Even without the instigation of these scholars, this contradiction would explode.
Moreover, the closer the suppression, the greater the harm of explosion.
Instead of doing this, it is better to let this social conflict break out directly when you can handle such a matter with ease and the war in the north are becoming stable, and how can you survive without stopping the death!
But this does not mean that Zhu Youxiao is not prepared and allows such a parade to continue, which continues to destroy the foundation of the city.
Zhu Youxiao did not intend to let these threats that could control the people in Jiangnan more than him existed. If he wanted to eradicate these people, he had to make things bigger and resort to force!
On the one hand, Zhu Youxiao issued an order to urge the two battalions of the imperial guards led by Qin Botong to enter the Jinling City as quickly as possible.
At the same time, Wu Jin, the chief archer of the East Factory, immediately gathered all the East Factory players in the Jiangnan area to arrest the planners and instigators of the demonstrations at any time.
In addition, Liu Kongzhao's garrison and the yamen soldiers from various yamen were temporarily formed by Zhu Youxiao as the Nanjing Public Security Force (I originally wanted to establish public security, but I was afraid of being caught by river crabs). Liu Kongzhao was appointed as the temporary admiral, responsible for maintaining order and protecting important strongholds such as the Royal Weaving Bureau.
After witnessing the robbery and beatings and other evils in the entire Jiangnan region under the condolence of officials and gentry at all levels, Zhu Youxiao had to set up a special force to avoid the constraints of the civilian government and professionally fight crime. In other words, Zhu Youxiao wanted to use this to deprive judicial and law enforcement power from the civilian system.
The civil service system composed of the governor, the censor, the commander, the prefecture and the county magistrate of Southern Zhili was almost paralyzed at this moment, without any administrative ability.
This may be because they were deliberately indulging in this parade, or they were powerless to only know Yin Feng and Nong Yue and were accustomed to handing over all matters to their staff.
This gave Zhu Youxiao the opportunity to take the opportunity to deprive them of power in Jiangnan.
Liu Kongzhao was a blessing in disguise. Because of his turn against Lishui Pavilion and his successful appearance in front of His Majesty Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youxiao began to push him forward.
Liu Kongzhao's control of a certain military power is now a time when Zhu Youxiao needs to use it, especially when he is almost distorted with civil servants, Zhu Youxiao doesn't care whether Liu Kongzhao is a capable official, but since he can leave a name in the long history of the late Ming Dynasty, he should not be an ordinary person, at least he can preserve his reputation.
Here, after Liu Kongzhao reported the current situation to Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youxiao nodded and heard shouts coming from not far away.
But at this moment, hundreds of officers and soldiers ran towards them frantically. Moreover, these officers and soldiers seemed to have lost their battles. Some of them had already thrown their weapons to the ground, and even felt hats fell to the ground, which was like they were escaping back.
Behind them were hundreds of people chasing with sticks, and behind them was Chen Mingxia and him suppressing a large group of scholars and people, who were still shouting their slogans selflessly.
"Down with the treacherous Li Mingrui!"
"Repay Gong Dong's innocence!"
“Black the Royal Weaver Group!”
"It is also beneficial to the people and govern the country with mercy and kindness!"
...
Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao hurriedly pulled Wei Min'er behind him to avoid being frightened by the formation in front of her. At the same time, he also said to Liu Kongzhao: "You are not good at all. Even ordinary people can chase them and fight. If there is an invasion of foreign enemies in the future, what should you do?"
Liu Kongzhao lowered his head with shame. His guards were naturally not as powerful as the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Guards and the Border Army, because most of these guards were honest people.
Those who were dishonest had tried their best to leave the military camp and made their own lives.
The people in the market who can marching and demonstrating near the imperial city are not good and honest people. Therefore, in comparison, the parade has the upper hand.
At this time, Chen Mingxia suddenly became quiet and stood still, while Chen Mingxia stared at Zhu Youxiao like a knife.
Zhu Youxia did not see Chen Mingxia in this parade. Before the two battalions of the Imperial Guards arrived, Zhu Youxiao did not want to talk to the parade team, so he held Wei Min'er's shoulder and walked in the opposite direction, and ordered: "Go back to the palace immediately! Order Ye Zhen, the commander-in-chief, to help Admiral Liu Kongzhao strengthen defense and strictly guard all important strongholds. If necessary, kill a few perverts to the power to act as a deterrent effect!"
But at this time, Chen Mingxia suddenly stood up and shouted: "Everyone, the person in front is the treacherous minister Li Mingrui. He killed our Duke Dong. Now he dares to come here to harm the good woman. He cannot let him succeed. We rushed forward, grabbed the treacherous minister, and let him see Your Majesty!"
"Yes, catch him!" Several people from the Chen family responded and rushed towards Zhu Youxiao with more than a dozen indignant people.
Immediately afterwards, more people came after him.
These crazy parades rushed towards Zhu Youxiao like crazy bulls without any hesitation, and some of them started to pick up the weapons in their hands and smashed them towards him.
Seeing this, the Dongchang man, who was accompanying him, stopped, pulled out the sword in his hand and killed these people. These Dongchang man was not brave soldiers of the Nanjing Public Security Force. As a confidant of the emperor, he rushed directly without saying anything.
