Xie Wanliang wanted to kill these so-called literati at that time. They were too worthless and could only share blessings but not hardships.

Donglin Academy

It was also very lively at this time. He Bao, the commander of the Dragon Camp of the Huben Army who had just entered the city, was so angry that he personally led the killing of the troublemakers on the street. The desperate gentry who were killed rushed into the Donglin Academy, the home base of the Donglin Party.

They believed that with the prestige and power of the Donglin Party in the Ming Dynasty, they should be safe for the time being.

In fact, they were completely sick and sought medical treatment. Not to mention that the Donglin Party had already sunk. Even at their peak, they were unable to fight against Emperor Shenwu.

What about the Kong family? Zhu Cixiang is already setting a trap for them and is ready to kill them in one fell swoop when the time comes!

How could a Donglin Academy be their refuge? It was too naive...

He Bao was overjoyed when he saw the gentry and landlords having no choice but to sneak into Donglin Academy.

Emperor Shenwu had long wanted to burn this place down, but he never had the chance to do it. Now he just killed two birds with one stone.

"Come here, throw all the explosive shells and grenades you are carrying into Donglin Academy."

"Here!"

"Swish swish..."

He Bao gave an order, and his soldiers immediately took out explosive shells and grenades and threw them all into Donglin Academy.

"Bang bang bang..."

Explosive bombs and grenades immediately exploded in Donglin Academy, just like setting off firecrackers. Blood and flesh flew everywhere inside, and bursts of ghostly cries and wolf howls could be heard.

Mr. Qian walked up to He Bao with a smile, raised his hand and saluted:

"General, what if Donglin Academy is burned down?"

He Bao looked back at this guy, wondering what he meant.

"It's good to burn it. I just want to burn it. What's wrong?"

"Hehe, it's okay, I can just ask you."

Just asking casually, Mr. Qian turned around and left with a smile, came to his subordinates and shouted:

"Brothers, the general sent an order to burn down Donglin Academy."

"Here!"

More than a hundred soldiers immediately raised their bows and nocked arrows and began to fire rockets towards Donglin Academy.

Donglin Academy suddenly turned into a hell on earth, and the gentry and landlords inside were bombarded with grenades and cried for their mothers, killed and injured countless times...

But soon they saw the roof start to catch fire, and the remaining gentry and landlords were scared to death again...

"That's so cruel. This is obviously going to kill all of us scholars. Everyone, run away. It's better to be shot to death than to be burned to death..."

Soon, those gentry and landlords who were lucky enough to escape escaped from Donglin Academy in panic...

Most of them had burnt faces and ragged clothes, some were missing arms, and some were dragging injured legs.

"Thump thump... Sir, please forgive me, we were wrong, we should not slander the emperor, we should not cause chaos..."

These people ran out of Donglin Academy and immediately knelt down in front of He Bao and begged for his life.

Before He Bao could speak, hundreds of rifled guns were immediately aimed at them...

The gentry and landlords who had just escaped were frightened to death again, and they hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy again.

Seeing that the scholar-gentleman, who usually wore flowing white clothes, was now in such a mess, He Bao waved his hand to stop his subordinates from shooting him.

So many people have surrendered, it is impossible to kill them all. There are still many places in Ming Dynasty that they need to develop.

"Take all these people away, confiscate all their property, and escort all three clans to the capital."

"Here!"

This made them completely satisfied. They wanted to confront the imperial court for personal gain and let Emperor Shenwu implement the land reform. As a result, not only were all their family properties confiscated, but all three clans were dragged down. Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world...

However, compared with those gentry and landowners who were killed, they are still lucky, at least they are still alive.

The vigorous rebellions between the gentry and landlords in two places in the south ended with strong suppression.

They took great risks and worked hard to plan the plan for so many days, but they were put down in one day by the army and the imperial guards.

The gentry and landlords in the southern region who had harmed the Ming Dynasty finally gave the Ming Dynasty and the local people a peaceful future.

After the suppression was over, the next step was to search the houses. Several departments joined forces to search the houses one by one according to the list...

The scale of the house raid this time was very large, and the Jinyiwei yamen alone did not have enough manpower.

The Huben Army and the Jinyiwei were divided into several teams and ransacked their homes...

A team of more than 30,000 people ransacked homes, and it took them three full days to complete this arduous task.

This operation not only completely suppressed the restless Jiangnan gentry, but also increased the huge income of Emperor Shenwu and the Ming Dynasty treasury. At the same time, many shops were merged into the royal group...

On the fourth day, He Bao and the others received the imperial edict to behead all the leaders of the turmoil and to exterminate the three clans...

All participants, after a period of time, the whole family was exiled to Liaodong and Mongolia to herd cattle for the Ming Dynasty, and used their talents to educate the herdsmen...

Since then, this farce has finally come to an end. Although the turmoil did not last long, it had a certain impact on the development of southern capital.

Fortunately, the imperial court put down the turmoil in time, and the wealthy southern region was temporarily peaceful. The people in the two places were happy and excited at the thought of being allocated a lot of land...

The rogue bandits have long since been wiped out, and the Dongdao tribe has even been exterminated.

Maozi's small group of troops invaded the outer northeast, but were completely wiped out by Jin Guofeng and others and built into the Jingguan.

The riots by the gentry and landlords in Jiangnan, Suzhou, and Wuxi were also completely suppressed. Emperor Shenwu ordered all of them to be exiled to Mongolia and Liaodong.

The status of these people will change from gentry to herdsmen.

Since they do not cherish their own happy life, Zhu Cixiang wants these gentry to taste the suffering of the common people.

It can be said that the Ming Dynasty officialdom and the situation at home and abroad have undergone earth-shaking changes, and the decadent Ming Empire has been reborn.
