Chapter 210 Sven sweeps the floor
Forbidden City, Fengxian Hall.
This is the ancestral temple of the Ming Dynasty royal family, and the ancestors of the Zhu Ming Dynasty royal family were worshipped. At this time, three or four hundred people gathered under the tablets, filling the small Fengxian Hall with a large amount. This place has been used as a temporary detention location for senior officials of the Nanjing court. The reason why Li Jundu chose this place was to ask these bastards who were highly favored by the Ming Dynasty but did not want to serve and become traitors to show their eyes to the ancestors of Zhu Ming Dynasty.
The hundreds of people here are the most powerful people in Jiangnan and even half of China. They were once pampered and now have become prisoners, waiting for their final destiny.
Hundreds of people were caught after being besieged last night. They were awakened in the middle of the night. When they learned that Dongfan was coming, their first thought was to escape. They were blocked at the city gate with their legs and legs, or those who were greedy for money were kept at home. They were not fast or slow to see that they could not leave the city and were caught one after another, but no one could run away.
There were a lot of people in Fengxian Hall. Some people really knelt on the cushion and accused the Zhu family of tablets. The sound was very loud. I don’t know if it was a dead person’s ears that were not good or for the officers and soldiers outside the door to listen to it. Some people were lying on the ground, no matter how arrogant and noble he had in the past, and some people complained. Seeing that no one was concerned, they even whipped loudly. The guards outside couldn’t help but rushed in and looked at the ungrateful guy. No matter what kind of noble he was or a major rank, they just blew it. Only after being beaten up did they realize that the "conscientiousness" pussy was really hard to pretend, and of course there were many people crying.
From midnight to afternoon, in addition to keeping people in, they don’t even give them some food and drink. These people are not allowed to suffer any more. They simply ate the things offered in front of the tablet, and snatched them up for this. They fought each other for a long time, but no one left them.
In the afternoon, the hall gate was opened, and two teams of soldiers walked in. One team pointed the flintlock rifle with bayonets at the prisoners. One team was busy with their own affairs. Some people hung ropes and white silk on the beams, some people put poisonous wine, daggers and short swords on the table, all of which were killing things, and the leader stood there without speaking.
The civil servant who was beaten to cry just now for scrambling for tributes wiped his tears and found that the person who didn't speak was so familiar. After a closer look, who was not Prince An Yue Le?
"Prince, the slave is guilty, and the slave is guilty. Please forgive me." The man rushed up, hugged Yue Le's legs, and cried loudly.
He immediately attracted more than a dozen people and cried around Yue Le. Yue Le was crying and said, "Everyone, I am no longer the prince of the Qing Dynasty. I am Yue Le, now I am the counselor of military affairs at the Southeast War Zone Command. How can I save you?"
At this time, everyone woke up. This was not the Qing Dynasty’s fight back, and Yue Le had already surrendered to Dongfan.
"A stubborn dog traitor!" the officer in charge of guarding cursed.
At this moment, Li Junduo brought people into Fengxian Hall. The guards behind him were carrying Qian Qianyi, covered with a layer of quilt all over his body, which was naked inside and his hair was not dry yet.
"Sir, Master......, what's wrong with you?" Qian Qianyi's confidants were many old friends and surrounded him and asked.
Li Jundu smiled and said, "This Lord Qian originally wanted to dive into the water to die for the Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately, the water was too hot this time! Everyone, it's not that Lord Qian doesn't want to die for the country, it's because the water was too hot!"
Everyone didn't know the allusion that Qian Qianyi's water was too cold, but at this time, how could the water be too hot? But I was not angry when I saw Qian Qianyi being so humiliated, and I think it was because of the twists and turns.
"Dare you ask?" The civil servants saw that Li Jundu was young and didn't know who he was. Li Jundu was just wearing an ordinary school official uniform, and no one could tell what his identity was.
"This is the son of the head of state of the United States, Li Jundu, who is in charge of military and political affairs in Jiangnan, and His Highness Li." Yue Le introduced loudly.
These people are not very familiar with the official system of the United States, and those who are familiar do not know what it means to be in charge of the military and political affairs of Jiangnan, but they know very well that this young and somewhat overly young guy in front of them can decide his life.
Someone knelt down and begged, "Since the guilty minister, please see your highness."
Some people start with imitation, and hundreds of people kneel together. Li Jundu shook his head helplessly. In the United States, where kneeling ceremony no longer uses kneeling etiquette, he had not seen such a scene for a long time. In my memory, I saw many people kneeling to their father when I was young. Now, with so many people kneeling in front of them, and they are all in a country with a city, Li Jundu felt satisfied.
"Is this the taste of power?" Li Jundu asked himself in his heart.
Qian Qianyi, who was beside him, poured a basin of cold water on him: "Hmph, the only one who can be worshipped by these people is my Daming Emperor, and you."
This clear and heart-slaying remark made Li Jundu wake up, and Yue Le also looked extremely ugly. He even scolded him for being damned. It would be fine if it was Li Mingxun in front of him, but no, this is his son, and he is not a legitimate son. This is not just a matter of exceeding the rules.
"All up. I can't decide whether to sin or not." Li Junduo said without caring about it.
A group of people rose up in a scattered manner, a little reluctant. Li Mingxun pointed to hanging ropes, poisoned wine, daggers and other things, and said, "Everyone is all Zhu Ming..." At this point, he glanced at the guy who had just hugged Yue Le's thigh and cried: "Oh, by the way, it may also be from the Qing Dynasty. You are all from Zhu Ming or the Qing Dynasty. Now that Nanjing is broken, the mountains and rivers are broken, you can be considered as the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed. Are there anyone who is willing to sacrifice for the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty? Please do it yourself, I will never stop it."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other.
"In the Jiashen crisis, many people rebeled and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty in Beijing, but there were also many civil officials. The nobles died in the Ming Dynasty, and many of them died in their families. When Jiangnan collapsed, the Hongguang court surrendered one by one, which was particularly unbearable. It was the time of collapse. If you are willing to sacrifice your country, you should break it in front of the ancestral tablet of Zhu Ming royal family in Fengxian Palace.
Our country is extremely tolerant of loyal ministers and righteous men. If you are martyred, you will surely protect your wife's safety. Our country supports the martyred loyal ministers, hang them to knot ropes, drink medicine and hand them to bottles. If you choose to jump off a building or jump into the river, we can also let the soldiers line up and see you off with gongs and drums, come on." Li Jundu persuaded him with great serene action.
The people looked at each other, not knowing what to say. The education they received since childhood was loyalty, filial piety, integrity and righteousness, but when they arrived, they lost the courage. In fact, everyone understood that if they were willing to be buried for the Ming Dynasty, when Jiangnan fell more than ten years ago, when they shaved their hair and changed their clothes, these people would be martyred. Among the gentry and literati, those who truly used their loyalty and filial hearts would die more than ten years ago or flee overseas.
Everyone takes traitors for granted, and they still care about occupying Jiangnan in the East?
"Is no one dead? Isn't there one?" Li Jundu asked loudly.
Everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. The people in the front row looked at Qian Qianyi. Qian Qianyi closed his eyes and pretended not to know.
Li Jundu said, "Don't look at Mr. Qian. Mr. Qian has this intention. It was there twenty years ago. But the water was too cold at that time. This time, the water was too hot! Everyone, isn't there anyone? I'm ready, who is willing to die for my country? I'll have a grand funeral, and I will compile the history books of the previous dynasty in the future, and my name will be included in the biography of loyal ministers."
Yue Le watched from the side and sneered in his heart: "The Qing Dynasty was destroyed by these shameless men."
Yue Le hated this group of guys who were not polite, righteous and shameless, from the bottom of his heart, and ruined the Ming Dynasty and harmed the Qing Dynasty. It was really damn! Moreover, Yue Le knew very well why Li Jundu did this without regard for decency. From humiliating Qian Qianyi to humiliating these officials, he understood that the United States would be destroyed in one fell swoop to the two major dynasties of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty was nothing, but Zhu Ming was the orthodox Han people for three hundred years.
Although the Qing alliance labeled Zhu Ming as a traitor regime, this hat was still untrue. Li Junduo's move in front of him was to tell the people the world what the so-called essence of the Nanjing court is, how corrupt the system of this court is and how corrupt the morality is.
"Isn't there really not one?" Li Jundu asked at the end.
There were still a group of people who were speechless, lowering their heads and avoiding Li Jundu's eyes. Li Jundu said, "Zhu Ming is not good, the emperor has lost his virtue, so it's probably true. I'll give you the opportunity. Since there is no, then forget it."
Yue Le, who had been watching a joke on the side, said in a voice: "Your Highness, the rope is tied, the poisoned wine is warm, and even the dagger is polished brightly. If there is no one, wouldn't it be a waste of work?"
Li Jundu asked with a smile: "What if you think?"
Yue Le clasped his fists and said, "The villain thought it would be better to choose a few people to be buried for the Ming Dynasty. In the future, history books will be better, and will fully display the face of the orthodox country of the Ming Dynasty for three hundred years."
"His Highness Yue Le said very much. Since that's the case, you can recommend ten people out." Li Jundu said.
All the officials didn't say anything. Li Jundu took a step forward, looked at the one standing in the first row, and asked, "A few people are so far ahead, they are martyred, otherwise why are they standing first?"
The people were startled and rushed to the back. The people in the back row listened sincerely, fearing that they would become the first row, so they ran backwards, hundreds of people crowded together and pushed each other.
"Mr. Wang, go. After you have returned to Nanjing, have you been resigning, have you criticized us for being unfaithful and unfilial in the court?"
"Yes, Lord Wang, you are the most loyal and filial, you are the first one."
The Lord Wang quickly explained: "I retired from the Qing court, how can I still be buried for the Ming Dynasty? Lord Chen, you came from Shaanxi and Gansu, which shows that you are loyal to the Ming Dynasty or as an example."
Lord Chen hurriedly said, "Where, where, I can't be a martyr. I...I went to Nanjing and haven't served yet. I was wearing the Qing Dynasty uniform and the Qing Dynasty seal. My braid was just cut. I was a clean official, not a Ming official, so it was not my turn."
A group of people argued and wrestled into a group, but most of them did not dare to stand in the front row, and ran back and stuck to the wall. They gave up. The people behind could not run to the wall, so they simply climbed up. For a moment, the men in Fengxian Hall added men and arhats were stacked.
"Your Highness Yue Le, now you understand why my father must liquidate these people. Where have the books of sages that have been read for generations?" Li Jundu said to Yue Le with a smile.
Yue Le couldn't answer this question either. A young officer next to him said: "If these people were not so shameless, how could the Qing Dynasty occupy most of China so quickly?"
"Hurry up and recommend the election. If you can't choose, you will be buried alive in His Highness Fengxian. It's considered a burial!" Under Li Jundu's instruction, the officer in charge of the supervision shouted loudly, which even brought the Milky Way to a climax.
"What a group of beasts in clothes, gentle and scum." Li Jundu said with a smile, picked up the pretty warm wine glass on the table and handed it to Yue Le: "Do you drink it?"
Yue Le was startled and didn't know what to say, and knelt on the ground. Li Jundu smiled: "A guy without a sense of humor."
Yue Le looked up and saw Li Jundu drinking the wine. He reached out and picked up a glass, and was about to send it to his mouth. Li Jundu said, "This glass is poisonous."
Yue Le was so scared that he hurriedly threw it away, and Li Jundu walked out with a laugh.
After a whole day, the mountain brigade and the Marine Corps had controlled all the gates of Nanjing City, occupied all the yamen and official warehouses, and temporarily requisitioned all grain stores, telling Nanjing citizens that it was prohibited to enter and exit for ten days, and the salt and rice needed were collected by the head of the people.
Li Jundu found a place to eat. He hadn't eaten for a day and was in a good mood at this time. After eating half of the meal, he saw Yue Le coming in a hurry. Li Jundu asked, "Aren't you hungry? Let's eat something."
Yue Le said: "Where is the subordinate who has the heart to eat?"
Li Jundu asked: "What happened in Fengxian Palace? Is someone dead?"
"The dead man is not dead." Yue Le took the Hu Bing handed over by Li Jundu and said, "The ministers were angry and took Qian Qianyi, complaining that he was still in Nanjing and putting everyone in a place of death. If the soldiers had not come forward in time, Qian Qianyi would have been killed."
"What a lucky old thing." Li Junduo shook his head.
"Your Highness, is it a bit inappropriate for you to do this? After all, according to the laws of the new dynasty..." Yue Le reminded.
Li Jundu said: "The law only works after the war comes to an end. Now everything is in my hands. Do you want to know why I humiliate them?"
"I'm afraid I want to show the world the nature and corruption of false wisdom." Yue Le said.
Li Jundu praised: "You are worthy of being the one who my father praised. You are very politically wise, but you are talking about macroscopicity. In the short term, I want to master the most important military force in Jiangnan - the militia."
"How to master it?" Yue Le knew very well about the importance of the militia, but he didn't know how Li Junduo did it.
