Zhou Yuji also didn't expect that he, a man with a sword, would one day be sent by the emperor to figure out internal affairs reforms such as his father-in-law's land.
"There are so many scholars in the world, but there is no one available?"
Zhou Yuji couldn't help but ask the cabinet minister Xiong Tingbi.
Xiong Tingbi smiled and said: "It's okay for scholars to use their words, but if they really use the sword, not many dare to do it. This kind of thing has to be done by people like you who hold the sword for His Majesty. This is what Your Majesty wants to do to these vassals." The king's intention to use the sword is to send military personnel if they can't do it. After you go to Shandong, you can only be responsible for killing people. How to clear the land, the local officials know how to do it."
Zhou Yuji said "hmm" and said goodbye to Xiong Tingbi.
More than half a month later, in mid-November of the third year of Tianqi, Zhou Yuji rushed to Jinan, Shandong with the Youshilu Department of the 1,000th Infantry Headquarters of the Guards assigned to him by Zhu Youxiao for direct command.
Naturally, the civil and military officials from Shandong came out to meet Zhou Yuji immediately after he arrived in Jinan.
As soon as he saw Zhou Yuji, Xiao Jixue, the political envoy from the left, spoke first: "Currently, the yellow book and fish scale book of the Queen of Qing are ready. I don't know when Futai will check it."
You Shiren, the censor and minister of food and road, also followed suit and said: "One million stones of grain destined for Jiangnan have been shipped to Linqing Prefecture for shipment. Do you want to inspect it in Futai?"
…
Other Shandong officials also reported one after another.
Zhou Yuji felt a little headache after hearing this. These internal affairs were numerous and complicated, making him feel more troublesome than fighting.
But Zhou Yuji thought of Xiong Tingbi's reminder. In addition, having been trained in the martial arts hall, he also knew how to actively think about countermeasures. He thought to himself: "Seizing the key to the problem is to seize the big one, let go the small one, and concentrate the advantages to deal with the main force of the enemy's march." The way to govern should be the same. First, follow the order and seize the palace of Prince De. If there is no obstacle from the king, there will be no difficulty in clearing the abbot."
So, Zhou Yuji waved his hand directly and said: "No need, go directly to Prince De's Mansion, you can just bring the yellow book, fish scale book, ruler, abacus, pen and ink with you. I will go ahead to kill people, and you will follow Qingzhang from behind. Understand, let’s clear the land of Prince De’s Mansion first!”
"yes!"
These civil servants in Shandong were a little confused. They found that the chief official who was a trusted general of the emperor did not follow the routine. He did not first summarize the past and formulate a process, but immediately took action against Prince De's palace in a hurry.
But they didn't dare to disobey, so they had to start preparations.
Not long after, Zhou Yuji led You Shilu's soldiers to the area of Prince De's Mansion.
"Draw the sword! Load the gun! Enter combat mode!"
Zhou Yuji ordered to You Shilu.
"yes!"
You Shilu waved his hand after responding.
The sound of drawing knives and the smell of burning matchsticks were immediately heard from the camp of the 1,000th Infantry Headquarters in Guardstown behind.
at the same time.
Zhou Yuji pointed to the Zhuang Tian of Prince De's Mansion in front of him and said, "Start clearing the emperor!"
Xiao Jixue, the envoy from the left, hurriedly asked the local magistrate to bring people over to clean up the abbot.
Seeing this, the leader of Zhuang Ding from Prince De's Mansion immediately came over with Zhuang Ding holding a spear and shouted: "What are you doing! This is the land of the Prince's Mansion!"
"kill!"
Zhou Yuji gave the order.
Immediately, the firearms soldiers of the Guards Town fired first.
A series of lead bullets swept over, directly mowing down many of these royal villagers.
The leader of Zhuang Ding was surprised when he saw the officers and soldiers of Jinwei Town, but he didn't expect that he just asked, and the other party shot at him inconsistently.
Seeing this, the village head turned around and ran away.
But at this time, officers and soldiers from the Guards Town had already rushed over and directly pierced the villager's head with several spears and killed him to the ground.
Xiao Jixue and other civil servants were confused.
Because they have never experienced such a situation where they directly use troops to clear their land.
Everyone was too gentle before!
No wonder His Majesty appointed a military man as the governor. This was obviously to enforce the New Deal by force.
"Let them clear their husbands quickly! Don't waste any time!"
Zhou Yuji yelled at Xiao Jixue at this time, and then ordered You Shilu: "Keep walking, if you encounter Zhuang Ding who dares to obstruct Qingzhang, kill him directly. Damn it, I don't understand very well. Qingzhang's world has long been The imperial edict has been set, and those who resist it will be killed. What's the problem? How far is it from the palace of Prince De?"
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Xiao Jixue agreed again and again in a daze.
"Not far, not far, right in front!"
You Shiren also replied quickly, somewhat absent-mindedly.
…
"Your Highness! Your Highness! Oh no, the government is here again. This time they brought officers and soldiers. They will kill our Wangfu villagers when they see them. Moreover, they have already begun to clear the Wangfu's fields without coming to report to you, Your Highness! "
At this time, Prince Palace Chief Shi Jiayuan hurriedly ran towards Prince Zhu Changjie.
Zhu Changjie was immediately surprised after hearing this. He pushed away the maid in his arms and ran out of the palace in disheveled clothes. When he saw Jia Yuan coming to him, he asked: "What are you talking about? This Shandong official wants to You force me to kill them all, and you dare to provoke me!"
Jia Yuan cried and said: "I don't know, but they are really killing people, Your Highness! And they don't say anything. As long as they don't let them clear their heads, they just kill them. They also have firearms and artillery. It's serious." The experienced officers and soldiers!"
"It doesn't make sense! It doesn't make sense!"
Zhu Changjie couldn't help but get angry, and then walked out of the royal city with a group of his guards.
But at this time, there was a sound of gunfire outside.
Zhu Changjie couldn't help but look up and saw that the gate of his royal city had fallen to the ground, and a group of officers and soldiers who rushed in directly slaughtered his royal city guards.
Seeing this, Zhu Changjie immediately turned around and returned to the palace.
Zhou Yuji also entered the royal city at this time and ordered: "Except the women, children and King De himself, kill them all! Leave no one behind!"
"yes!"
You Shilu and others replied loudly, and then continued to march towards the royal city, and did not stop until they reached the royal palace in the royal city.
Because at this time Zhu Changjie had already arrived here with all the official guards of his palace.
When Zhu Changjie saw You Shilu and other officers and soldiers from Guard Town appearing, he shouted directly: "What are you going to do! This king is of the blood of the Tian family. How can you treat me like this and kill my people at will? What are you doing?" rebel!"
"Your Majesty, King De, it is not we who are rebelling, but you who are rebelling. Your Majesty has learned that you brutally killed the governor Xu Keqiu. Your Majesty has decreed that killing the governor is like rebellion. Therefore, your Majesty has decreed that I will take over as the governor of Shandong and the general secretary of Shandong. Soldiers, come here to suppress your rebellion against the king."
Zhou Yuji rode over at this time.
These days, the circulation of information is inconvenient, and the civil servants did not take the initiative to give Zhu Changjie the report of the appointment of a new governor by the imperial court. Zhu Changjie was also used to being the king and hegemon in his own royal city, and had no awareness of paying attention to the external situation, so he did not know about the imperial faction. When a new governor came, he even wanted to punish him for treason.
Therefore, Zhu Changjie was very shocked when he heard what Zhou Yuji said, and couldn't help but said: "You fart! I am a member of the royal family, so it doesn't matter if I kill the governor. I think you are rebelling."
"If you don't accept it, you can go to His Majesty and complain. We only act according to orders!"
Zhou Yuji said and ordered: "You Shilu, fight in and leave no one behind!"
"yes!"
You Shilu continued to reply, and then rushed in with the guardsmen and soldiers, directly stabbing, hacking or beating the men to death with firearms.
Zhu Changjie watched the people in her palace being killed one after another. She was so angry that her breathing became rapid and she shouted loudly: "You guys, stop it!"
