Upon hearing that the National Guard Army was killing people in Tongzhou, Tongzhou Governor Zhang Tianlu immediately led a group of officials out of the government office.

As the governor of Tongzhou, Zhang Tianlu wanted to prevent the National Guard Army from killing people.

As soon as I came to the street, I was shocked by the scene in front of me. I saw a general leading his men to kill the demonstrators.

The streets were filled with murdered rebels, and it could be said that there were rivers of blood.

The officials and gentry who followed Zhang Tianlu were trembling with fear, and they regretted coming to the street.

"Quick, go and stop the soldiers from killing people..."

Zhang Tianlu reacted and immediately ordered the officials and distinguished gentry behind him to stop the National Guard Army from killing people.

But how could these people dare to dissuade them? They were worried that they would be hacked to death, so they all expressed their refusal:

"Sir Governor, let's go back quickly, it's too dangerous here..."

Zhang Tianlu was furious:

"A bunch of useless things. When this incident is over, you all go back to your hometown to farm and watch how I denounce the lawless National Guard..."

After Zhang Tianlu said this, he immediately put his hands behind his back and walked towards Huang Degong with steady steps.

When Huang Degong heard someone denounce the National Defense Army, he was furious and immediately looked at the person.

The person I saw was a civil servant wearing a red second-grade official uniform.

Huang Degong didn't care whether he was a second-grade or a super-grade, the Crown Prince's order was to kill gods and Buddhas when they block them.

Huang Degong pointed the iron whip in his hand at the visitor and shouted:

"On the order of the Crown Prince, martial law is imposed in Tongzhou. Everyone must retreat immediately!"

In the past, Huang Degong would get off his horse and kneel down when he saw the governor, but it was different now. The crown prince not only improved his status as a military commander.

He has become a great nobleman of the Ming Dynasty. He does not need to kneel down when meeting the emperor, and besides, he is in front of a second-grade civil servant.

Zhang Tianlu's thoughts were still stuck in a few years ago, when he saw a general not only refused to salute him, but even threatened him with weapons.

Zhang Tianlu's nose was almost crooked with anger. He pointed at Huang Degong and yelled angrily:

"Be brave, I am Zhang Tianlu, the governor of Tongzhou. Who gave you the courage to go on a killing spree in Tongzhou? I will definitely report it to your Majesty..."

Huang Degong liked to be simple and crude in his work. When he saw that the civil servant on the other side did not know what he was doing, he put his legs under the horse's belly and rushed to Zhang Tianlu.

Zhang Tianlu was shocked and shouted hurriedly:

"Bold, you can't rebel if you want to..."

Before Zhang Tianlu finished speaking, Huang Degong's iron whip with his right hand had already hit Zhang Tianlu's head hard.

"Snapped……"

There was a sound of bones breaking, and Tongzhou Governor Zhang Tianlu's head was smashed to pieces by Huang Degong's iron whip. The body shook twice and fell to the ground.

After beating the governor of Tongzhou to death, Huang Degong ordered with an iron whip in the air:

"Put down your weapons and go home. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy!"

Just now, many Tongzhou officials and gentry were following Zhang Tianlu not far behind.

They were afraid of being accidentally injured and did not dare to step forward. Only Zhang Tianlu disdained the national defense army and walked up to Huang Degong with his hands behind his back to show off.

Unexpectedly, he failed to show off and was beaten to death by Huang Degong with an iron whip.

The Tongzhou officials and gentry who followed Zhang Tianlu were so frightened that they turned around and ran away...

Huang Degong looked at the group of gentry and knew that these people were behind the Tongzhou rebellion.

He turned around and said to the deputy general He Bao beside him:

"He Bao, take the people to kill all the rioters in front of you, and also confiscate their homes to my Lord!"

"Here!"

He Bao took the order and immediately led an army of five hundred tigers and soldiers to pursue and kill them.

"Old Huang, it's not interesting enough. You eat meat and let the brothers drink soup. The brothers and General He Bao hunt down the rebels..."

As soon as He Bao left, Sun Yingyuan rushed his horse. With a wave of his hand, five hundred Longteng troops immediately followed He Bao and killed him.

Lao Huang looked at Sun Yingyuan and said with a smile:

"Young boy, haven't you Dragon Soaring Army killed enough? You actually came here to steal the credit from me, Lao Huang, haha..."

After Huang Degong said this, both of them burst out laughing...

The four-pronged army quickly put down the rioters who were beating, smashing, and looting outside, and then began to search everywhere for the green skinned people hiding in people's homes.

It is a great good thing for the people that the crown prince distributes land to the people, and the people happily wait for the distribution of the fields.

But soon there were riots in the city. Ordinary people were worried about being harmed and hurriedly hid in their homes, not daring to go out. They all peeped through cracks in the doors to peek outside in fear.

Later, when they heard that the National Guard Army under the Crown Prince had entered the city to quell the chaos, many people felt relieved. They believed that the National Guard Army would soon be able to put down the riots. The slaves were not their opponents, so some rioters were nothing.

As expected by the people, the riots in Tongzhou were quickly put down by the National Protective Army, and the people opened their doors one after another to welcome the National Protective Army.

But as soon as they opened the door, some panicked people suddenly hid in their home and begged to escape.

No need to ask, these people must be the rioters who were hiding in the city, and the people immediately united to fight against the rioters who were hiding in the city.

Those who are capable will catch the rioters directly, and those who are not capable will report them immediately.

Since then, with the joint efforts of the national defense army and the people in the city, most of the rioters were finally killed or captured.

Create the most favorable conditions for the smooth distribution of land to the people and soldiers in the future.

Kong Xigui is the director of water transportation in Tongzhou and the largest landowner in Tongzhou. It is said that he is inextricably linked to the Kong family. After many land annexations in Tongzhou, he currently owns more than 100,000 acres of land.

In this riot, Kong Xigui contributed the most, with more than 600 people participating. These people were green men, workers, and their servants.

Speaking of water transportation, Tongzhou cannot be ignored.

After the Ming Dynasty moved the capital to Beijing, it attached greater importance to Tongzhou. At that time, there were four counties under the direct jurisdiction of Tongzhou, namely Miao County, Sanhe County, Xianghe County and Wuqing County.

In order to make Tongzhou's functions more focused on water transportation and grain storage, Tongzhou was downgraded to a "Sanzhou". The three counties of Sanhe, Wuqing and Xianghe formerly under its command were placed under the direct jurisdiction of Shuntian Prefecture.

In the Ming Dynasty, the part of Tonghui River outside the east wall of the original imperial city was enclosed within the imperial city wall.

In addition, the southern city wall of Dadu in the Yuan Dynasty was expanded to the south, thereby encircling a section of the Tonghui River along the southern city wall of Dadu into the new capital and turning it into an underground river.

This caused the original Tonghui River to "cut off" from the vicinity of today's Dongbianmen. In addition, there has been no dredging for many years, resulting in a serious siltation phenomenon.

Therefore, many caravans transporting grain began to choose the land route to transport grain from Tongzhou to the capital, and a large number of granary gathering areas were formed in Chaoyang Gate, the east gate of the capital.

This official road for transporting grain has gradually become an important transportation artery in eastern Beijing.

Due to the busy water transportation, Tongzhou reached its peak.

Every year on the first day of March in the lunar calendar, grain transport ships from Beizhili, Henan and Shandong provinces arrive in Tongzhou along the canal.

April starts in Anhui, May in southern Zhili, June in Zhejiang and Huguang, and lasts until October. Boat gangs from various provinces and regions arrive one after another according to the prescribed days.

According to regulations, each boat gang can only stay in Tongzhou for ten days. Due to the short time and heavy unloading tasks, Tongzhou City has a busy scene of "the city gates are not closed at night and the lights are bright and starry".

The prosperity of Tongzhou's water transportation made Kong Xigui, the envoy of Tongzhou's water transportation department, and a group of officials make a fortune. After they had money, they began to buy land in Tongzhou and became the largest landowner in Tongzhou. I like the Ming Dynasty. In the prosperous period, the prince began to supervise the country.
