Chapter 252 Suppression

Liu Kongzhao's military strength was too bad, and Zhu Youxiao could no longer rely on them to maintain order, so he let them act as a volunteer propaganda team to promote the public in various neighborhoods.

His Majesty the Emperor had to listen to the imperial edict, so Liu Kongzhao was now holding a big knife in case of being besieged by these rioters while holding a loudspeaker provided by the Royal Industries Company and shouting to these people under the escort of dozens of servants who also held a cold sword:

"Dear fellow villagers, I am Liu Kongzhao, who is the Right Mansion of Signing the Book of the Right Mansion, the advisor of public security affairs in Nanjing, and the Count Liu you often call him. Please leave for my sake. Soon, the imperial army will arrive. At that time, you will be equivalent to a serious crime of corruption by forcing Your Majesty like this!"

"Grandmen, please leave quickly. Your Majesty has stated that as long as you leave, you will not be held accountable for your crimes. In addition, Your Majesty also knows your request. Now the Grand Sikong Master Huo is on his way to Jinling. He is here to do a major project in Jiangnan. At that time, you will not worry about not having any work. As long as you cooperate with the arrangements of the court, the court will give you satisfactory treatment!"

"Listen to my advice, fellow villagers, don't discuss the government's affairs and be deceived by him; the court will do everything for you; don't resist the court, don't accept the instigation of some bad intentions. Once the court's army arrives, it will be too late! Are you willing to see that your parents are not supported and your wives and children are lonely and helpless from now on?"

Liu Kongzhao, who had always been in Jinling City, often acted as a domineering person on the heads of the people, had no airs of an earl at this time and had to persuade and beg for help.

Other generals under his command also tried to persuade and ask in various places, but perhaps because the grievances caused by officials over the past few hundred years have seriously declined their credibility, or perhaps because they have had enough of the oppressed life and no one is willing to give up before they truly achieve their goal. In short, there are not many people who are willing to leave on their own initiative.

On the contrary, many of the scholars who had revived the society retreated first. They had already made preparations to leave Jinling City when they learned that the imperial guards had arrived, and even began to move to other places under the name of studying abroad.

But there are also some pedantic or stubborn scholars such as Wang Siren and Chen Jiru, who are still protesting. They do not know that they have been exploited, but they are stubborn to make Dong Qichang feel unjust. But because they are still persisting, these people who take them as the weather vane are also persisting.

But they didn't know that it was their persistence that caused a bloody massacre that shouldn't have been born.

...

Among the first batch of officers of the Imperial Guards, Qin Botong was decisive and became famous all over the world since the Shandong-East Land, and some newspapers even described him as a court hawk who was no less vicious than the Eastern Court Jinyiwei! But there are also many military generals who took Qin Botong as their idol. How many military officers dared to kill civil officials today? Even Qi Jiguang could only rely on Zhang Juzheng at that time. Even after he was appointed as the first rank, he was scolded by some censors.

Qin Botong's soldiers did not care about who their enemies were, they were just machines that strictly enforced the command program.

The first time the three-eyed gun, improved by the Ordnance Division, was not used on the foreign battlefield, but towards these mixed parades.

The white smoke resounded on the streets of Jinling City with the crackling sound of gunpowder explosions. The marching people trying to block the way of the imperial guards tried the blood of the state machine for the first time. They fell down like strong winds, flesh and blood flying, and gunpowder smoke filled the air.

When Zhu Youxiao's latest secret order to Qin Botong, once he enters the city, he directly suppresses military force without asking the reason, and first defeats the majesty of the court, and must hurt these spoiled people, so that they know that the court will not be polite and tolerate them, and will also teach them the greatest lesson.

The reason why secret orders cannot be made public is that even in ancient times, a king was extremely cruel and inconsistent in slaughtering the people.

However, the people are the people after all. What they need is to survive, not to resist a certain political system. When facing violent machines, most of them also began to flee in all directions, avoiding these indiscriminate troops.

Qin Botong did not ask someone to pursue him. After all, these were all people of the Ming Dynasty. His imperial guards were not the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty who entered the pass. There was no need to kill them all. After defeating those who were trying to resist the imperial army, they immediately ran towards Jiming Temple.

Most people could not resist this one-sided massacre and eventually chose to hide or escape. In an instant, the parade began to collapse.

Some people were wailing, but they didn't expect this to end. They were full of anger and didn't know how to vent, and some even chose to commit suicide directly.

The gentry who had served as their guides had long disappeared at this time. Except for some young scholars who fell in a pool of blood because of angry young people or young people, Chen Mingxia, Fang Dayou and others were on the shore of Taihu Lake at this time. They were secretly glad that they had to retreat, otherwise they would be executed with other scholars and people for the crime of treason.

Here at Zhu Youxiao, Wu Jin, the chief archer of the East Factory, hurried to him and bowed: "Your Majesty, now Qin Botong's troops have entered Jinling City. The two battalions of troops have rushed here in the east and west directions. The parades along the way have been broken, and there are probably no less than a thousand casualties. In addition, except for a few killed, the Fushe scholars who were fighting this parade have already fled, and some of them have already fled to the territory of Jiangxi. Our East Factory has already followed him. Should we arrest him immediately!"

"Catch it immediately, send an order to Liu Kongzhao, and take his men to take the opportunity to make trouble as the Imperial Guards broke through the parade and immediately locked up the illegal people who took the opportunity to cause trouble. They would rather arrest three thousand mistakes than let one go, and arrest them first and then try them again, including great scholars such as Wang Siren and Chen Jiru!"

Zhu Youxiao's decrees came down, and the entire state machine began to run quickly.

Liu Kongzhao's officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Public Security Force bid farewell to the state of fear of the marching people at the beginning and begging now, and began to show their harshness and ruthlessness. These guards or yamen runners who were originally locals in Jinling City naturally knew that those people might be gangsters who took the opportunity to make trouble. They even recognized that they were all the people who lived in this parade, and that they were robbing, smashing, looting and burning, and asking them to arrest people was simply a guide.

However, in order to prevent these people from letting go of the illegal people privately, Zhu Youxiao also asked the East Factory to secretly supervise and issued an order to let Ye Zhen's troops hand over important strongholds to the cavalry battalion, while they changed to arrest the local officials who secretly supported the march and these great scholars who became famous in the south of the Yangtze River.

The sound of horse hooves was broken and the chaos was storming. In addition to the people running around like headless flies, there were also many court personnel in the entire Jinling City who were shackles and shackles.

It seems that no one has forgotten that there are still undried blood and tears under their feet.
