"Your Majesty, I am willing to serve the Han Dynasty. Please let me go.”
"Your Majesty, I'm willing to hand over all my assets. Please forgive me, Your Majesty.”
The loyal officials of the Ming Dynasty were going crazy at this moment.
They never expected Liu Yu to be so direct.
They had all come out to surrender and handed over the jade seal, but they still wanted to capture them and confiscate their property.
Normally, shouldn't they accept their surrender and use their influence to take over the entire Jiangnan?
Even if he had to pay a thousand gold for the horse bones, he should not have killed them at this time.
If he killed them all, the other cities in Jiangnan would definitely fight to the death. It was not worth it.
Liu Yu completely ignored them, directly ordering the Royal Guards to drag everyone away, while the ink-armored heavy infantrymen followed behind to raid the houses.
How could these people know how much Liu Yu disliked them?
It could be said that even if he did not kill them, it would be difficult to dispel the pent-up anger in Liu Yu's heart.
Chen Cheng had long since figured out the addresses of these Dong Lin Party officials and those dignitaries.
Even their families were under the surveillance of the Military Intelligence Bureau.
It was the same for those who left Nanjing. No matter where they ran to, even if they hid in the mountains, it was useless.
Chongzhen was dead, and so was Ming.
These loyal officials naturally had to accompany Chongzhen, like those loyal officials in Beijing, to be buried with Ming.
How could the loyal officials of the Ming Dynasty live? They had to be neat and tidy.
They entered Nanjing and arrived at the Imperial Palace.
This was Liu Yu's first time seeing the Ming Dynasty's Nanjing Imperial Palace. When he came to Nanjing for a tour in the future, the Ming Palace was already gone, leaving only a few buildings.
Even the Palace Museum had been demolished and replaced with a modern building.
Arriving at the imperial palace and looking at Mount Zhijin not far away, Liu Yu recalled the terrain of the future according to the memories in his mind.
Unfortunately, the changes were too great. There was no way to compare them.
After entering the palace, the eunuchs and palace maids were chased away according to the rules, and the royal guards were guarding the palace.
"Close the city gates. Once we have finished ransacking the homes of those ministers, we will capture the officials of the various yamens and let the people identify them.
Which official had exploited the people and plundered their wealth? After they were identified, they would also confiscate their property.
After that, he would arrest all the hooligans in Nanjing. Datong's mines were short of people.
People from the Ministry of Finance and the Bureau of Land and Resources, go to all the yamen to check the accounts and find out who the landlord is.”Liu Yu ordered.
"This subordinate will obey."
Following Liu Yu's order, the entire Nanjing City fell into chaos.
Of course, this kind of chaos had nothing to do with the ordinary people. On the contrary, many people cheered when they saw the Donglin Party officials being raided.
However, this time, the royal guards had run into trouble.
It wasn't that anyone was resisting, but that these ministers had hidden the money.
Moreover, it was not hidden in the house, but buried deep underground.
"These people are really amazing. They know how to hide money.
I want you to torture me, not a single bit less.”Liu Yu said coldly after hearing the report.
No wonder he was so eager to surrender. He had hidden all the money.
They had already prepared the land deed. So what if they were to split the land? In order to save their lives, they had to accept it.
In order to avoid Liu Yu's search, he had buried all the gold and silver, leaving only a little behind, pretending to be honest.
However, they never expected that Liu Yu would not even give them a chance to show off and directly confiscate their property.
After being tortured, these people all confessed where they hid the money.
Most people hid their money in more than one place. Some people even melted their gold and silver, casting them into solid gold and silver balls and burying them underground.
When the Royal Guards dig, don't waste too much effort.
The entire raid lasted for three days before the gold and silver were dug out.
"42,070,000 taels of silver, 2,710,000 taels of gold, 15 warehouses of copper coins, and 82 carts of precious jewelry.”
Liu Yu was very satisfied when he saw the loot.
These days, it was indeed the most profitable to raid houses. This was only Nanjing. When he raided all the gentry in Jiangnan, he would have at least one or two small targets.
"Chen Cheng, have those officials and landowners been judged?”Liu Yu asked.
"My lord, the trial is over. The people have personally identified him.”Chen Cheng replied.
"How many good people are there?"
"682 people were not identified."
Liu Yu pursed his lips. The Royal Guards had arrested at least 20,000 people, but only 600 people were not identified. This number was simply too much.
"Very good. Kill those who should be killed, and send those who are not high enough to Da Tong to mine.”Liu Yu said.
This group of people was more cowardly than the last when facing the Manchu invasion.
To his own people and the common people, each was more ruthless than the other.
What was the use of having such officials? These people had contributed the most to the destruction of the Ming Dynasty.
Opening the system, Liu Yu directly used silver to draw ten times in a row and ten times for normal recruitment.
Now that all the officials in Nanjing had been killed, Liu Yu could only draw money from the system to replenish his officials.
As for reopening the imperial examinations, that would have to wait until after unification.
Recruit 100 officials and leave one Heaven Grade civil official to manage Nanjing and Ying Tian Prefecture. The remaining nine Heaven Grade civil officials will be left to guard the other provinces.
With manpower, the policy of land leveling and tax exemption was directly implemented in Yingtian Prefecture.
The commoners who were allocated the fields were all grateful and instantly returned to the Han Dynasty.
After another two days, the matters in Nanjing were almost settled.
Liu Yu gave the order to pull those loyal officials of Great Ming out of the city for execution.
When Liu Yu arrived at the execution ground, a group of people cursed at him, kowtowed and begged for mercy, and said that they were very important to the Great Han Dynasty and hoped to spare his life.
"Hehe…Are you very important to the Han Dynasty? What's your name?"
Liu Yu said to the official who said that he was very important.
"I, Zhao Zhilong, pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Zhao Zhilong kowtowed excitedly. He knew that Liu Yu would spare his life.
Unfortunately, he was thinking too much. Who asked him to be a famous existence in history? Even Liu Yu had heard of his name. How could he let him off?
"Zhao Zhilong, do you know what your greatest contribution to the Han Dynasty is?”Liu Yu said with a smile.
"I don't know, but I will definitely be loyal to the Han Dynasty and do my best until I die.”Zhao Zhilong quickly replied.
"No, no, no…The Han Dynasty doesn't need you to do your best until you die.
On the contrary, your non-existence is the greatest contribution to the Han Dynasty.”
After Liu Yu finished speaking, he ignored the howls and curses behind him and directly ordered the execution.
When thousands of heads fell to the ground, when blood spilled all over the execution ground.
Liu Yu's thoughts were clear.
