Chapter 474 I am relieved to see that His Majesty can be so cruel(1/2)
The next moment is a tragedy...
"I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!"
"Your Majesty, the old minister is wronged!"
...
The elders were like crazy, lying there and howling, as if a group of pigs were about to be slaughtered in the pigpen.
In fact, it is almost the same. Liu Tinghui's words determine their destiny.
"If you let his whole family go, I will give you suicide."
His Majesty the Emperor said with satisfaction.
He got what he wanted, of course he was still very happy. It was also worth giving Liu Tinghui a generous position.
Liu Tinghui lay there silently kowtowed and thanked him, then took the sword handed over by the guards next to him, put it on his neck while cursing the elders, looked at his released family, and pulled a knife on his neck without hesitation. However, the sword may not be very sharp, and he was not good at committing suicide, so he just cut off his external jugular vein...
If you want to commit suicide, you have to use force to cut off the common carotid artery directly.
So the heroic scene of bloodshed did not appear. Instead, he was lying there and struggling dyingly. It would probably take some time to die. However, at this time he had already stepped down and no one cared about him.
That is, his family was waiting to collect the body.
"As for them."
His Majesty the Emperor looked at Lin Feng and others.
The latter was still crying.
"Train them over!"
His Majesty the Emperor shouted at the Henghai ship next to him.
Liu Xin immediately took the guards forward, quickly dragged the guys to the Henghai boat, threw them there and left.
Before Lin Feng and others woke up, they stopped crying and looked at each other in a daze.
Then their eyes turned to the Henghai Ship, which was more than ten feet away. There were two gun doors on the floor, and black muzzles pointed at them.
And they are all real heavy artillery.
The Henghai ship will not use twelve-pound cannons. In fact, there are two main artillery of the Henghai ship, one is eighteen pounds, that is twenty-four pounds, and the other is fourteen pounds, that is, eighteen pounds, and the latter is a long cannon, which is longer than the original Red Barbarian cannon. So at this moment, there were thirty cannons in front of them that were enough to collapse the city wall. From the cannon gate, you can see the sailors inside, looking at them happily, and the ignition rods in their hands were already approaching the ignition hole at the tail of the cannon...
"Run!"
Lin Feng suddenly let out a heart-wrenching scream.
Then the other elders woke up, and even though they were almost paralyzed at this time, they burst out with the greatest strength and got up like crazy to try to escape.
"put!"
His Majesty the Emperor roared.
The soldiers behind the cannon quickly pestled the fuse into the ignition hole.
"boom!"
An 18-pound cannon was the first to spew out flames.
The shell swept across the middle of the elders in an instant. At only a distance of more than ten feet, the kinetic energy had almost no attenuation. It was enough to penetrate the shells of more than one foot of iron wood, which directly brought out a blood mist, and then ran through the group of elders and hit the ground. At the same time, the broken limbs and broken arms also turned into shells and shot. The penetration of this shell brought down more than half of the elders. Even if they were not hit by the shells, they fell down due to the impact of close airflow, just like a running car hitting among them...
"boom!"
"boom!"
...
The next moment is a spectacular side volley.
Accompanied by the deafening sound of cannons, flames were gushing, gunpowders were filled with smoke, and the shells were howling. Amid the screams of people, thirty heavy cannons completed their volleys in a very short time, and the elders also turned into a strange blood color in a very short time, and even could not find a complete dead body. They directly turned into a pile of broken limbs and broken arms and slags, spreading them on the dock of the stone slabs, because the impact of the shells was sprayed backwards and sprayed on the ground.
The sound of cannon ended.
Everyone looked at the terrifying color in horror.
His Majesty the Emperor, who had been sitting, stood up, and the people opposite him all knelt on the ground as quickly as possible.
Without exception, everyone, whether it was the lower class, the gentry, and officials, all knelt on the ground in fear.
"I have been so kind all these years that I have forgotten these dogs. After all, the Ming Dynasty is still my country. I am the emperor who can destroy the clan in a moment. I can erect a monument at this pier, record all their crimes, and put them here for future generations to know. Yang Feng built Jingguan at Wusongkou. From then on, the foreign merchants were afraid of being buried. I won't just build Jingguan. I will just erect a monument and confiscate all the dogs and things. Those who had been pardoned before were not included.
All nine tribes were transferred to Yingtian and handed over to the prime minister for disposal.
Its property, houses, shops and factories were invaded to the inner palace for auction.
Its shares in Nanyang Company were invaded into the inner palace.
The land is divided into farmer according to my previous wishes.”
His Majesty the Emperor said.
He is now in Minnan dialect. After all, he has lived in Penghu for so long. He has learned almost everything after spending time with the fishermen after spending a long time.
"Long live my emperor!"
"Long live my emperor"
...
All the people in front of him shouted long live the mountain. Even those gentry had no other choice than to follow the mountain to shout long live.
After all, the blood on the ground is still there.
His Majesty the Emperor walked forward with high spirits, and at this moment he finally found the feeling of his ancestors.
Nanchang.
"I feel relieved to see that Your Majesty can be so cruel!"
Yang Xiangguo said with a sigh.
He finally turned an emperor who was quite satisfied with the gentry into a tyrant in history.
The absolute king of Jie and Zhou.
If you can shoot a living person, you will definitely be remembered by historical books. You will be despised by generations of literati, and even make up various stories to smear. Even the portraits are like ghosts. However, this is the case in this world. People are good and good and horses are bullied and ridden. After shooting a living person, the emperor has completely entered a state of power of heaven. Not only did the gentry of Quanzhou kneel in front of him tremble and accepted the imperial edict of dividing the fields and cried, but even the remaining gentry of Fuzhou, Zhangzhou and even Yanping prefectures kneel honestly.
Just like the gentry after the Qing Dynasty massacre, not only did they not dare to resist, but instead began to have a prosperous era of sings in the eight deserts.
They no longer have any fantasies.
They knew that what they were facing was not an emperor bound by the Confucian moral standards.
This is a pure tyrant who can shoot living people, use thirty heavy cannons to knock more than 40 elders into slags, and rely on a prison to confiscate tens of thousands of people's homes.
Pure.
As pure as his ancestors.
Since they are tyrants, what else can everyone do besides kneeling down?
Isn’t it just a dividing field?
It's better than being searched for the nine tribes together.
Whether it is Guangdong or Fujian, everyone has already knelt in front of the emperor, kneeling in fear and kneeling without reservation.
As for those people at the bottom, of course, they kneel like worshiping gods.
I have to say that His Majesty the Emperor is becoming more and more adept at playing. Even if this continues, even without the Prime Minister Yang, he can still create the Ming Dynasty Restoration, divide the gentry and bribe farmers, confiscate the aristocratic families to enrich the treasury, confiscate the shops and factories of the capitalists and then auction them internally to military generals to buy military generals. Chen Lin was pardoned, Chen Ce was pardoned, and even Li Dan was pardoned. After all, Nanyang Company trade was indispensable, and even Ou Huayu could not replace Li Dan. In the end, the military general system only died in the end.
However, Yu Zigao's family was pardoned because His Majesty the Emperor remembered Yu Dayou's contribution.
In this way, the generals respect the emperor more and work harder. After all, Yu Dayou, who had been dead for almost thirty years, could even forgive his descendants for their crimes of rebellion because of their merits.
Making meritorious service to the emperor is more effective than iron coupons!
It can be said that His Majesty the Emperor is becoming more and more like a monarch who can be described as a great emperor.
"What should I do with the people sent by Fujian?"
The concubine asked.
The more than 40 elders were confiscated from nine clans. These guys had huge families. The nine clans behind the family had to be hundreds of people, not to mention the Guangdong part, which was in the end, and there was a total of more than 10,000. This was indeed the style of Zhu Yuanzhang's confiscating houses back then. Although now it was only the beginning of Quanzhou's escort, and the others were confiscated one after another, they had to be confiscated from Yingtian.
Moreover, the emperor's house search was arrested for all men, women, young and old. Like Yang Feng, only adult males were arrested, and then the woman was thrown back to her parents' home or just officially pointed out to the militia.
Speaking of which, these guys are also unlucky, so it would be better to let Yang Feng search his house!
Yang Feng's house search was at least not so clean.
"Read the land?"
Yang Feng said.
This is the best choice.
After all, this was how Zhu Yuanzhang did it back then.
"It's all a rich and frugal family. If you ask them to open up the land, you might as well kill them, especially those delicate daughters. What else can they do besides going to brothels?"
The concubine said contemptuously.
