Zhang Tongchang laughed and glanced at Kuang Jihe.
Then, Zhang Tongchang pointed out Kuang Jihe to Yang Huan: "He is Kuang Jihe, and I have asked Qiao Ke to take him for severe interrogation! Next, whoever Qiao Ke can interrogate will be arrested by your Dongchang team." , Your Majesty’s decree is that you would rather arrest three thousand by mistake than let one go. Be more ruthless this time in order to avoid the death of innocent people in the future, do you understand?”
"clear!"
Yang Huan replied, and then looked at Qiao Ke: "Qiao Baihu, follow the instructions of the capital immediately!"
Then, Yang Huan ordered the other leaders of Dongchang: "The rest of the brothers are ready to raid their homes at any time!"
"yes!"
Qiao Ke replied and waved his hand.
The officers from Liangdongchang came towards Kuang Jihe again.
Kuang Jihe was stunned at this time. He did not expect that his grandson Kuang Youhe would fall into the hands of people from Dongchang.
Kuang Youhui shouted first at this time: "Father, save me!"
Then, Kuang Youhui cried again: "We didn't escape. Our boat suddenly disappeared, so we fell into their hands. Save me, Dad!"
Kuang Jihe said nothing.
When the two Dongchang officers responsible for arresting Kuang Jihe were detaining Kuang Jihe, a soldier stopped the two Dongchang officers and said, "You can't touch Mr. Kuang!"
Seeing this, Qiao Ke immediately drew his sword and stabbed the scholar, then put the scholar down on the ground: "You don't know your own strength, take someone!"
The two Dongchang squadrons immediately captured Kuang Jihe.
…
Here, Zhang Tongchang continued to order: "Execute the original order, break all departments into parts, divide and suppress all the rebels, and leave no one behind!"
"yes!"
The officers and soldiers of the 3000 Guards Battalion Infantry Headquarters began to hunt down these rioters in small groups.
One by one, the spears were stabbed directly into the bodies of these insurgents, causing them to scream in agony.
The Yanling Sword slashed these rioters until their flesh and blood flew everywhere.
The sound of gunfire also continued.
These rioters were completely scared.
They were all running around like headless flies.
But there were still some rioters who were still holding on to the pieces of cloth they had taken from the Xu family and refused to drop them, and continued to run.
However, there were quite a few random people who lost their weapons such as spears and swords and continued to run.
Finally, as more and more rioters were killed, many rioters began to throw away their stolen property and began to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy.
But it was useless to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy at this time.
A Guards soldier killed a rioter who was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy with a knife and beheaded him on the spot.
"Please, please Lord Bing, please spare me. I am just an ordinary weaver. I just came to the Xu family with my clan to make a fortune. I didn't expect that I would recruit you. Will I?" I offended you, I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again next time, please forgive me!"
Orihu, whose surname was Kuang, knelt on the ground and begged Chen Xin for mercy.
Chen Xin couldn't help but shook his head: "You still don't know that you are rebelling and you don't know that you are disobeying the king's law. How stupid you are!"
Click!
Although Chen Xin felt pity for this man, he still chopped him down with a knife.
Because he knew he had to carry out the order.
"ah!"
As a result, Orihu fell to the ground, his eyes wide open, and the jewelry he had just copied from Xu Guangqi's home fell out.
An hour later.
The entire Xujiazhuang was littered with corpses, all of them were rioters who had been suppressed.
None of the rioters escaped, and they were all suppressed.
After that, Chen Xin and other officers and soldiers of the Guards Battalion all returned to Zhang Tongchang.
"Report! All the rioters have been suppressed!"
Chen Xin and other generals immediately reported to Zhang Tongchang.
Zhang Tongchang nodded.
But at this time, a sentry rider under Zhang Tongchang ran over: "Report, there are many gentry coming from the opposite side."
Zhang Tongchang's face turned cold after hearing this: "I must be here to uphold justice for these rioters. Since you care so much about the life and death of your fellow villagers, why did you want to incite them earlier? I am also from a rich family, how could I not know that based on these How could the rioters themselves have the guts to raid the home of a wealthy noble family without the guidance of people like them?!"
Therefore, Zhang Tongchang directly ordered: "All the gentry who came to plead for mercy were arrested and severely interrogated! Let them stop crying like cats and mice in front of me - fake mercy!"
…
"Bao Chengmo, deputy envoy to Fujian Province in Xiayuan, said that these villagers are all ignorant and do not know the king's laws. I beg the soldiers to forgive me!"
"Yes! I am the former Prime Minister of Honglu Temple, and I also ask the soldiers to show their support. The common people are ignorant and do not understand the king's laws. They are just temporarily deceived. Now there are people like Ping Tingchun who have organized troublemakers to fight against us. The squire surrendered and was willing to submit to the law, and asked the soldiers not to fight against the common people!"
"In addition, we Jiangnan gentry are willing to pay compensation for the ignorant and stubborn villagers. How about one million taels? Or two million taels. If that doesn't work, please give us the number!"
As soon as these gentry who arrived saw the people from the Guards Camp and Dongchang, they started to justify the riot with words and words.
Bao Chengmo continued to smile after these people said: "Now that the first criminal is willing to surrender, your Majesty can also do business with you, and you can also get a huge sum of money. Why not do it."
But at this time, Yang Huan had already brought the people from Dongchang over in person, and he snorted and said: "You still want to use money to bribe us, don't even think about it, I stole your whole family, and the money I got Will it be less than what you took out yourself?”
"Take it down! Anyone who comes to excuse these rioters is suspected of instigating the soldiers and people to launch a riot behind the scenes!"
Then, Yang Huan ordered the people from Dongchang to capture these squires.
Bao Chengmo and others were shocked.
"You guys are messing around!"
Bao Chengmo even started to curse because of this.
"You were the first to cause trouble."
Zhang Tongchang came over and said something at this time.
So far.
The riot against the Xu Family Cotton Mill was put down.
Countless Jiangnan scholars and people who participated in the riots were directly suppressed.
As for the Xu family, except for Xu Guangqi and Xu Ji who were injured by a knife in the leg, those who were killed, injured or insulted as a result of the riot were basically the Xu family's slaves and tenants, as well as the cotton mill workers and villagers who were essentially the Xu family's slaves and tenants. Brave.
Excluding Kuang Youhui and others who were later captured by Dongchang and some gentry who were directly and forcibly detained to prevent the suppression of the rioters, basically the victims on both sides were the lower class people.
But in fact, this incident has nothing to do with the lower class people like them, because it is just the Jiangnan gentry fighting against the emperor who is preparing to seize the benefits of sea trade and a group of powerful gentry attracted by the emperor.
But now this situation has caused a deeper conflict between the people of the Xu family and their relatives and friends and the people of other large families in Jiangnan.
However, because the Xu family and their relatives and friends had guarded the cotton mill together with Dongchang, the Xu family and their relatives and friends had a good impression of Dongchang's servants, and no longer disliked them as before.
However, because Dongchang assisted the Guards Battalion in brutally suppressing the troublemaking tribesmen of other wealthy families in Jiangnan, the other wealthy tribesmen in Jiangnan hated Dongchang even more.
"The emperor's decree is that after the riots are suppressed, the case of suppressing the Jiangnan rebels cannot be stopped, and the investigation must continue. If a big case arises, the investigation must continue!"
