Chapter 1429 military expansion, ransacking

Seeing Zhao Tingchen's head fell to the ground, the people below were shocked.

They didn't expect that this group of people actually killed Zhao Tingchen.

That is the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, the commander of the xhq Han army, an existence that was unattainable in their eyes, and was cut off so easily?

The minds of the people below became active.

"The grassroots are wronged." Immediately, a young man climbed up to the high platform.

"What's the grievance?" Mu Tianbo was delighted.

"Caomin sued Zhao Dehai, the magistrate of Chuncheng. After he took office, he corrupted the law and asked merchants to pay an extra 10% silver tax on top of the court's taxes. Whoever refuses to pay will smash their stalls. I beg the elder to make decisions for us. "

"Duke, what is corruption in the "Law of the Ming Dynasty"?" Han Yu asked.

"Your Highness, the Taizu stipulated that those who are over fifty taels shall be peeled off the real grass."

Mu Tianbo said hastily.

"Since Taizu's ancestral instruction, then follow it."

Han Yu nodded.

"Execution!" Mu Tianbo waved his hand.

Immediately the executioner went to work.

Seeing this situation, the people in the audience were encouraged.

They climbed up to the high platform one after another, telling their hatred for many years.

Of course, some of them were not all sued against officials, but also sued against the gentry of the city.

Han Yu didn't stop him, and accepted everything he ordered.

Directly send people to arrest people on the spot, and the two sides confront each other. As long as the complaint is true, they will be sentenced on the spot and executed on the spot. The efficiency is terrifyingly fast.

After a day of public trials, the arrested officials were almost killed.

Few can enter the mines for hard labor.

Not only that, those officials and gentry who did evil together with the officials were also wiped out, most of them were killed, and the rest were sent to the mines to serve hard labor to atone for their sins.

Even some petty theft and rampant bullies were imprisoned in the mine together.

After the trial of the last case was finished, it was already time to light the lamps, and the soldiers lit the torches, illuminating the execution platform brightly.

The people below still refused to disperse, and finally saw the officials who were willing to make decisions for them, and they were willing to stay here for a while.

Seeing that the emotions were basically in place, Han Yu announced that Chuncheng would return to the Ming Dynasty and began conscription. Those with family members were given priority, with a monthly salary of 10 taels, pensions, work arrangements for the disabled, and life-long pensions.

After hearing the conscription conditions announced by Han Yu, many people below were moved.

Nothing else, the main reason is that the salary is too high.

A full-fledged waiter, who is equivalent to a lobby manager, only has two taels of silver every month.

As a big soldier, you can get a salary of 10 taels of silver, which is a wage that they dare not even dream of.

Moreover, they also understand that with so many people being tried today, they are equivalent to being tied to Han Yu's chariot.

If you want this kind of life to continue, you can only hope that Han Yu can keep here.

Otherwise, as soon as the Qing soldiers come back, the death of officials all over the city will be settled.

With the character of Qing soldiers, it is not impossible to slaughter the whole city.

Therefore, even for their own sake, they had to help Han Yu guard this place.

Therefore, after Han Yu announced his conscription, there were many responders.

Han Yu asked Mu Tianbo to take charge of this matter, and he had to verify the identity of everyone, and he had to be clean, and those with families were given priority.

Only such people can rest assured when using it.

In addition, the property of those criminal officials also belonged to Han Yu.

Han Yu ordered Mu Jiansheng to deal with these matters.

And he himself lived in Pingxi Palace.

After one night, Han Yu got up and saw Mu Tianbo standing outside the door.

His eyes were bloodshot, apparently he hadn't slept all night.

However, Mu Tianbo's spirit was very excited, obviously he had a good harvest last night.

"Your Highness, after screening, a total of 20,000 qualified young adults have been recruited."

"So much?" Han Yu raised his eyebrows. He thought it would be good to have a few thousand, but he didn't expect it to be as much as 20,000.

"Thanks to Wu Sangui, a thief, in order to entertain his own soldiers, he allowed his subordinates to run amok in Spring City, disturbing the chaos and making the people complain. Otherwise, there would not be so many people willing to join us."

Mu Tianbo said.

"Has everyone checked and verified?" Han Yu asked.

"The preliminary inspection has been done, and there is no problem." Mu Tianbo said.

"In addition to the verification, we must implement it for every household. The army is our foundation, and there is no room for failure."

Han Yu said.

"Yes." Mu Tianbo agreed.

"After recruiting so many young men, the team needs to be expanded. In this way, the original 1st Grenadier Corps will be split into two regiments. All the old men will be promoted to officers, and these young men will be mixed into two As for the legion, you are still the commander of the first legion, as for the second legion, let Mu Jiansheng bear the burden."

Han Yu thought for a while and said.

"The minister will never give up."

Mu Tianbo knelt down on the ground.

Now, there are only two legions in the entire Ming Dynasty, and as a result, the commanders of the two legions are all taken by their father and son. What a grace this is.

Mu Tianbo believes that as long as they can succeed this time, their Mu family will be able to regain their former glory.

Even, one step closer than before.

Yongzhen Dian Province again.

"Don't keep thinking about Yunnan Province. You need to be bolder. For example, how about Myanmar? As long as things can be done, Yunnan Province, Guizhou Province, and Myanmar will be divided into one area, and you will be in charge of them."

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron."

Mu Tianbo knelt down on the ground again.

Myanmar is a hurdle in Mu Tianbo's heart, too many robes have fallen on this land.

If Burma can be included in his own jurisdiction, it will also forget the regret in Mu Tianbo's heart.

"Okay, Lord Qian please rise up."

Han Yu pulled Mu Tianbo up.

At this moment, Mu Jiansheng walked in.

"Your Highness, the criminal property has been counted. Please take a look at the account book at this time."

Mu Jiansheng handed an account book to Han Yu.

"I won't look at the account book, just tell me the total."

Han Yu waved his hand.

For him, money is just a tool, as long as it is enough, he has no interest in managing it directly.

"A total of 20 million taels of silver, 1 million taels of gold, 3,600 pieces of gold, silver and jade wares, 300,000 bolts of cloth, 300,000 dans of grain, 80,000 sets of weapons and armor, and fine horses were found 60,000 horses, there are too many real estate titles and the statistics are still being counted, and it is estimated that the preliminary results will be released at noon."

Mu Jiansheng said while holding the account book.

"Twenty million silver?"

Although he had already prepared himself, Han Yu was still stunned by this number.

You know, Li Zicheng broke into the capital, tortured a circle of civil and military ministers, and finally got 10 million taels of silver.

He thoroughly investigated Chuncheng and found out 20 million taels.

Although Wu Sangui is a big greedy person, it is enough to make people speechless.

And there are also a lot of cloth, grain, weapons and armor, horses and so on.

As long as all these are used, he can easily form an army of 100,000 people.

At that time, not to mention the entire Yunnan Province, he even dared to sweep the southeast. 16047/11278685
