Kong Xigui, like most officials, did not think that anyone would dare to inventory the land in the Ming Dynasty. The emperor did not dare, and the prince did not dare. Otherwise, the gentry in the world would never agree.

If the emperor and the prince dare to take this step, they will be going against the world's most powerful gentry, and the Ming Dynasty is not far from being destroyed.

However, the stubborn illness of the Ming Dynasty was exactly the opposite of what Kong Xigui and his colleagues thought. The demise of the last dynasty of the Han people was caused by the Ming Dynasty being too good to the greedy gentry all over the world.

When he first got the crown prince to inspect the Weisuo land and Tongzhou land, Kong Xigui didn't pay attention. He didn't believe that the crown prince dared to be so presumptuous. He was making fun of the Ming Dynasty.

Not only did the gentry and landlords in the world disagree, but the civil and military officials and noble clansmen of the Manchu Dynasty also refused to agree. Under the deception of the civil servant group, Emperor Chongzhen even canceled the commercial tax and Dongchang. How would he still conduct an inventory of the land?

But reality soon hit his face. The next day, officials from the Ministry of Revenue and other officials began to station in Tongzhou to inspect the land. Until this time, Kong Xigui still did not think that the crown prince could succeed.

He immediately discussed with the Tongzhou gentry officials and the governor Zhang Tianlu how to resist the crown prince's land inventory, and at the same time wrote a letter asking the officials in the capital to impeach the crown prince for acting recklessly and seeking profits for the people.

I thought that if Tongzhou was in trouble and officials from the DPRK and the Central Government were adding fuel to the fire, the crown prince would definitely give up the land inventory.

Unexpectedly, the crown prince actually launched a bloody massacre against the protests, which instantly ruined their efforts to clear the land.

Tongzhou Governor Zhang Tianlu was killed, but Kong Xigui still dared to show his face. He now placed all his hopes on the officials in the court, hoping that the emperor would intervene to stop the crown prince.

Many officials in the DPRK had land in Tongzhou, and Kong Xigui knew that they would try their best to persuade Chongzhen.

In order to ensure the safety of his land in Tongzhou and to prevent himself from being killed by the crown prince, Kong Xigui sent people to send 200,000 taels of silver to the capital, preparing to throw it all at the cabinet and the six ministers.

These corrupt officials would rather give their money to other officials than use it to save the declining dynasty when the Ming Dynasty was at stake. They all deserve to be killed.

But Tongzhou had already been under martial law, and the money could not be sent out at all. Just when Kong Xigui was restless, the door of Kong's mansion was blown open from the outside, and then an army broke in.

As soon as the servants of the Confucius Mansion grabbed their weapons, clouds of smoke erupted from the guns in the hands of the National Guard Army, killing most of the servants of the Confucius Mansion in an instant, while the remaining servants threw away their weapons and ran away.

"Bang bang..."

The muskets in the hands of the National Protector Army soldiers opened fire again, killing all the servants of the Kong family with two volleys. Then Zhang Shize, the left commander of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion led by Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, walked into Kong Xigui's mansion.

Zhang Shize waved to his subordinates:

"Your Highness has an order to kill them all and leave no one alive!"

"Here"

Three hundred capital masters armed with Huang Ming rifles rushed into the back house of the Kong family with strange screams and killed all men, women and children. They ate the bloody buns of the common people, and later followed Kong Xigui to seek refuge as slaves. All of them died.

Gunshots rang out one after another, and more than 200 members of Kong Xigui's family were killed. The entire Kong family flowed with blood, but Kong Xigui was nowhere to be seen.

After Zhang Shize gave an order, the National Guard Army began to search the cellars of Kong Xigui and the Kong family, and soon found several cellars and warehouses. This family had so much money, it could be said that there was a mountain of gold and silver.

"Little Duke, Kong Xigui may have escaped..."

The gold and silver were found, but Kong Xigui was missing. Zhang Shize immediately issued an order:

"Search, even if the Kong family is turned upside down, we must catch Kong Xigui!"

"Here"

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry soldiers immediately launched a blanket search for the Kong family, but Kong Xigui was nowhere to be found.

Zhang Shize frowned and immediately walked into the room where Kong Xigui was dining, wanting to see if the food was still warm. If the food was still warm, it meant that Kong Xigui couldn't run far.

The crown prince wanted to capture Kong Xigui alive, but now Kong Xigui was neither alive nor dead, and Zhang Shize was a little anxious.

Suddenly a soldier saw the tablecloth on the table behind Zhang Shize move. He immediately ran over and opened the table, and a fat man appeared in front of Zhang Shize.

"Little Duke, please spare your life. As long as you let me go, I will give you one hundred thousand, no, two hundred thousand taels of silver..."

Kong Xigui hid under the table, hoping to escape, but he was dragged out from under the table by the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry soldiers.

Seeing that the general searching Kong's residence was Zhang Shize, Kong Xigui immediately knelt in front of Zhang Shize and begged for his life. He thought that others were as greedy for money as he was for life.

Zhang Shize and Kong Xigui have known each other for several years, and Kong Xigui tried to use money to find a way to escape.

Zhang Shize smiled faintly:

"Kong Xigui was ordered by the Crown Prince to purge the Tongzhou rebellious people and resist the land inspection officials. Unfortunately, you fell into the trap.

According to Jin Yiwei's report, your family not only owns more than 100,000 acres of land, but is also a pioneer in the land reform. It is estimated that you will not escape the fate of stripping away the skin and reaping the grass. There is really nothing I can do.

As for the 200,000 taels of silver you promised no longer belongs to you, I, the Governor, can transport it away at any time, and someone will come and take Kong Xigui back to His Highness to deal with it and destroy the three clans!"

"Here"

Zhang Shize gave the order, and two soldiers immediately stepped forward and tied up Kong Xigui tightly, and then wiped out the three Kong Xigui clan.

When Kong Xigui was exterminated, other Tongzhou gentry who participated in the riot were also confiscated and exterminated by the National Defense Army.

Some big families who were not involved in this matter were trembling. There was a family not far from the canal. Although they were not landlords, they still had 80 acres of land.

They are usually good people, but at this time they were attacked by some people who did not know the truth. The courtyard door was kicked open by a group of people who were preparing to ransack their home.

At this time, a group of Ming troops arrived, led by the captain of the Ye Buzu brigade, Li Fang.

"Stop, the crown prince has an order. No one is allowed to kill innocent people. Anyone who did not participate in this riot is not allowed to disturb the people. Violators will be killed without mercy. Go home and wait for the land to be divided!"

Li Fang read the crown prince's decree loudly, then jumped off his horse and walked into the courtyard. The people saluted Li Fang one after another, and then returned to their homes.

"Thank you to the Crown Prince for his thousand years, and thank you to the general for putting an end to the chaos..."

Li Fang quickly walked up to a dazed old man and cupped her hands:

"Mr. Yan, my nephew's late arrival has surprised you. Don't worry about your life. It will be beneficial to you to divide the fields in Tongzhou. You may be given a few more acres!"

"Do you know the grass people?"

The old man reacted and hurriedly saluted Li Fang, but was supported by Li Fang.

"Mr. Yan, my nephew Li Fang, who is a national protector, and Jian Heng are busy with work and have never gone home to visit the two elders. If the second elder wants to reunite with Jian Heng, my nephew will send someone to see you off immediately!"

The old man suddenly realized that he was his son's friend, and he was immediately happy that his son could have a friend like the general of the National Defense Army.

"Oh, you're welcome, General. I would like to ask where Quanzi is now?"

Li Fang cupped her hands and smiled:

"Mr. Yan, your son is already a staff general of the National Protective Army and is currently the acting commander-in-chief of the Changping Army. After the slave establishment ravaged Changping, he is building a city wall in Changping and recruiting troops..."

When the old man heard this, he immediately knelt down on the ground and kowtowed in the direction of the capital to thank him:

"Thank you Crown Prince Chitose!"

Then he kowtowed to the memorial tablet in his main hall:

"The ancestors of the Yan family. Finally someone from my Yan family is an official, and he is still a general..." I like the Ming Dynasty, and the prosperous age started from the prince's prison.
