Episode 4 Nanjing is in my hands(2/2)
…
In the courtyard of the official residence of the Chief Minister and the lobby on the first floor, a large group of people wearing big-brimmed hats and raising their hands were already standing. These are the Ministry of Internal Affairs police. Different from ordinary police, they are responsible for protecting important government institutions, which is equivalent to the future generations.
The Armed Police Internal Security Forces. But now they have all been disarmed without exception, and not one of them even resisted. The radio in the hall is still broadcasting the speech of the People's Guard. Before that, these Ministry of Internal Affairs police officers had gathered here to listen
After thinking about it for a while, I have now reached my own judgment and made a wise choice.
Second floor corridor.
Messy footsteps echoed in the corridor. Dozens of People's Guards wearing bright yellow armbands and holding box guns strode forward. Officials, secretaries and guards in the corridor dangled on both sides with frightened expressions on their faces.
Questions came one after another in the corridor:
"Do you support His Majesty or the Cabinet? Tell me quickly!"
"I...I support His Majesty..."
"Okay, stand downstairs! Do you support His Majesty or the Cabinet?"
"Support Your Majesty!"
"Stand downstairs! Do you support His Majesty or the Cabinet?"
"Support... support His Majesty..."
"Go and stand downstairs! Do you support His Majesty or the Cabinet?"
"Bah! Scholars can be killed but not humiliated. Since ancient times in China, scholar-bureaucrats have ruled the world together with the emperor. You fascists..."
"Okay, the People's Guard will arrest you now, raise your hands! Do you support His Majesty or the Cabinet?"
"I support His Majesty..."
…
"boom!"
The door of the conference room at the end of the corridor opened. Several core cabinet ministers were sitting calmly inside, drinking tea. A dozen "People's Guards" swarmed in.
Fang Hongru, the First Assistant Minister, took a sip of tea and said calmly:
"What's the difference between what you do and Qinglu?"
More than a dozen people didn't speak, they were all stunned.
Fang Hongru put down the teacup heavily and shouted in a deep voice:
"This minister asks you, if you did such a thing today, what will be the difference between our Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty from now on? What is the difference between Zhu Yourong and the fake Emperor Guangwu of the Qing Dynasty! ... We old guys are very old.
, It doesn’t matter if she dies a day early, but how will she, Zhu Yourong, meet the late emperors of the Ming Dynasty in the future!"
"Master Fang, let me tell you the difference!" A voice came in from outside, and then everyone moved out of the way, and a young man came in, it was Xiang Xiaoqiang, "If it is fake Qing, these elders will be arrested now.
If captured and imprisoned, the family property of the bosses will be confiscated, and their wives, children, grandchildren, and clan members will also be captured and killed. As for a few adults, they will be on the market in a few days, and then their heads will be hung on the walls of Beijing! But here is
Daming! Your Majesty is also a generous and benevolent king. Your Majesty personally confessed that several elders have worked hard for the Ming Dynasty for half a lifetime and have made great achievements. Now they are getting older. It is time to retire and return to their hometowns to enjoy a peaceful old age. Your Majesty will bestow gifts to these elders.
The generous gifts from people have allowed several elders to return to their hometowns in glory and enjoy wealth and wealth. As for the future of the Ming Dynasty, let the elders see what the young people do."
After saying these words, several ministers looked at each other, and the color slowly returned to their faces. They originally thought that His Majesty launched this coup so badly that as the defeated party, several people had no chance of survival. Several old Donglin
The Party was about to unleash all the energy it had accumulated over a lifetime in book business, to regard death as if it were home, and to denounce traitors. Who knew that not only was Zhu Yourong not prepared to take their lives, but he also left them with a peaceful and wealthy old age. For a time, several old men thought in their hearts
I have so many thoughts that I am speechless.
Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at them and thought: This is fine. Now that the war is gathering, these decrepit Donglin Party must not be suitable. I wonder how Zhu Yourong will arrange the next cabinet? One thing is for sure. Facing the pressure of the Beiqing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty
A hawkish cabinet is needed.
…
Well, the official residence of the chief and assistant ministers, the most important place in the entire capital and the last target, has been captured. Xiang Xiaoqiang ordered the "People's Guard" to escort several ministers home and strictly "protect" them.
Then, he opened the window and took a deep breath of the cold air.
Now, the capital of Ming Dynasty is in my hands.
Xiang Xiaoqiang pressed his chest, and inside there was a check for 1 million Mingyang. Zhu Yourong wrote it to him personally, and it was the Queen's own bank account. Of the 1 million, 500,000 went to Xiaoqiang himself, and 500,000 was given to him to form the People's Guard.
In other words, he now has a huge sum of 500,000 yuan and a newly formed but very promising political armed force.
500,000 mingyang, if gold is used as the conversion medium, is equivalent to 62 million yuan in later generations. For one person, this is a truly huge sum of money.
He looked at the city with lights outside the window, and suddenly he seemed to be dissatisfied with such a small amount of money. Xiang Xiaoqiang suddenly had a crazy idea: he didn't want to hand over the city. This feeling of control was so wonderful.
But it only took a few seconds for him to wake up. There were so many policemen, gendarmes, and even the People's Guard. Their loyalty was not to me, Xiang Xiaoqiang, but to the Emperor of Heaven, Zhu Yourong. In addition, there were Dongchang, Navy and Army in Nanjing.
The General Staff, the Imperial Guards, and the anti-aircraft troops standing guard at the artillery positions... There are still 100,000 garrisons surrounding Nanjing. Now, they are all loyal to Zhu Yourong.
Unfortunately, it is only a temporary control.
Xiang Xiaoqiang closed his eyes and took a deep breath of air-conditioning, indulging in this temporary sense of control.
