Chapter 411 The generation of Mingjun
This scene made the capital change and people were panicked. The people watching were even more sad, but they were helpless.
After killing these hundreds of people, the rumors in Beijing were indeed subsided. At least no one dared to discuss them in public anymore. Even those scholars who claim to be proud of themselves only talk about Huayue at restaurants, regardless of state affairs, for fear that if they missed their words, they would be beaten into chaos and lose their heads.
On the surface, the Qing court almost calmed down the matter with this harsh and ruthless method, but in fact, the fire of dissatisfaction with the Qing court was ignited secretly.
Originally, since the loss of Jiangnan, the taxes in the north have been heavier every year. The people in various places have long been miserable, and even the people in the capital are dissatisfied with this. In addition to increasing the taxes, the Qing court has never been able to come up with ways to ease the conflict, which has caused resentment in the hearts of the people. As for those rumors, although the Jinyiwei was fueled by the fire, ordinary people are at best just complaining, let alone children who don’t know anything.
Now the Qing court directly used bloody means to kill and make rumors. On the surface, it seemed to have a significant effect, but it laid the root of resentment. These unjust souls of death directly aroused people's disgust, and the habit of rule by the Qing court has gradually turned into hatred. Even the Manchus in Beijing were dissatisfied with this. You should know that not all the people who were beheaded were Han people, and ordinary Manchus were among them, and there were even some Manchu children.
After this incident, the so-called benevolent and wise monarch who had been boasting about the complete bankruptcy of the wise monarch. However, the eighth prince of the crown prince showed a different attitude from Kangxi in this matter, and even spoke out in the court, pointing out that such a thing was not the act of a wise monarch.
For this reason, the furious Kangxi ordered the prince to be scolded, and finally the court parted in a bad mood. But even if the Eighth Prince redeems this way, the people who lost their lost will not be fully returned, and what they lost will eventually be lost.
The news reached Nanjing. After hearing Zhang Ran’s report, Zhu Yicheng sighed and said, “God wants it to perish, so he must first make it crazy.”
Although this sentence comes from where, and the so-called God in Zhu Yicheng's mouth seems to be the god in Europe, Zhang Ran felt that this sentence indeed makes sense.
Zhu Yicheng privately rewarded the Jinyiwei, commending Zhang Ran and others for the movements in Beijing. At the same time, he asked the Jinyiwei to continue his efforts and find ways to further arouse confrontation between the Qing court and the people.
At the same time, Zhu Yicheng asked Wang Jingqi's propaganda department to make up a few stories as soon as possible, and at the same time increased publicity from the north and south so that everyone in the world could see the true face of the Qing court.
Not only that, Zhu Yicheng also personally prayed for those who died unjustly in the palace as the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. After the news spread, everyone in the area controlled by the Ming Dynasty cursed the Qing court for doing rebellious acts and harmed innocent people. Even in the area controlled by the Qing court, although the people did not dare to discuss this in public, they were extremely disappointed with the Qing court and Kangxi in private.
