Chapter 444

As the governor, Fu Shangrui took over Suzhou and caused a civil rebellion in Suzhou, which was considered a big fall.

Such group incidents have killed people. Generally speaking, the central government removes several officials in charge and even kills two people to vent the anger of the people and calms the people's resentment towards the government and the central government.

Therefore, Fu Shangrui, the governor of Zhili in Nan, was at the end of his life, and even his identity as a cabinet university would be removed.

Fu Shangrui originally came to Nanzhili to make achievements and earn qualifications, and accumulated capital in order to replace He Tengjiao in the future and become the chief assistant, but now he is being banned by Zhao Mingyin.

Generally speaking, officials who have made major mistakes will never have the chance to serve as the chief minister, so Fu Shangrui is really discouraged.

This was not only Fu Shangrui's failure, but He Tengjiao's decision to extend his hand to Jiangdong, collect Su Song's administrative power, and restrict the foreign warlord Donghai Town's decision was also considered a failure.

Such a thing happened, Fu Shangrui was no longer tolerant of Su Songchang, and the Governor would definitely not be able to continue.

At this time, Fu Shangrui was very unwilling to accept it, but he had no choice but to admit defeat and wait for the imperial court's will to come.

When Zhao Ming heard Fu Shangrui's words, he saw Fu Shangrui accepting defeat. He exhaled a breath of turbid air from his nostrils and said in a deep voice: "Since that's the case, please ask Fu Pavilion Department to stay in the yamen for the time being. The general will take over the political affairs of Jiangdong to restore order to the court and clean up the mess!"

The party struggles in the Ming Dynasty were actually not bloody most of the time. Only after Wei Zhongxian came to power did he break the rules, making the political atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty very cruel and bloody, and also making the struggles between various factions without bottom line and moderation.

Previously, the party struggle was lost after the failure of the party struggle, and most officials actually had little influence. After Wei Zhongxian came to power, the party struggle failed but he would lose his life. Not only did the party leader die, but the party's operators were also killed.

It can be said that the eunuch party lowered the bottom line of party struggles, and once the bottom line is lowered, it will be difficult to come back.

Zhao Ming did not want the party to fight so fiercely. He hoped to express his own interests under a set of rules, but it was difficult to make everyone recognize a set of rules.

Since Fu Shangrui has already given up, Zhao Ming does not need to speak out. After all, Fu Shangrui is a Grand Secretary, an official appointed by the court, or his superior. Zhao Ming cannot kill him. Moreover, Zhao Ming's goal has been achieved, so there is no need.

Fu Shangrui lowered his head, unable to see the expression on his face, "Until the imperial court came down, our cabinet will not leave the Governor's Office. The order in Suzhou City will be restored. Please ask the Duke to let the people disperse immediately."

Fu Shangrui's voice was very painful. These unruly people made him bear such a stain on politics, which would seriously affect his career.

Zhao Ming glanced at Fu Shangrui, swung his cloak, and turned around and left the festival hall surrounded by a large number of soldiers.

"Close the door!" Zhao Ming walked to the door, stopped, turned his head to Ding Weiyue and said, "Arranging personnel, encircling the Governor's Office, and protecting the safety of Fuge's headquarters!"

Ding Weiyue lowered his head and clasped his fists, then waved his hand, and the soldiers of the Shence Army closed the door and stood on both sides with a spear and a knife.

This is said to be protection, but it is actually house arrest and surveillance so that Zhao Ming can take over Su Song's government affairs.

In the hall, Fu Shangrui sat in the middle hall dejectedly, feeling Zhao Ming leaving, suddenly raised his head and looked at the closed door, his eyes full of resentment and unwillingness. He grabbed the handrail with both hands and bit his teeth, "Zhao Tiebang, you are so domineering and designed to harm the imperial supervisor, and there will be no good end in the future. This hall will wait, and wait until the day when your body and head are different, and see how arrogant you are!"

The gate closed with a "bang", declaring that Fu Shangrui, who had been governor Nanzhi for less than a year, had completely failed, and Su Song's administrative power returned to Zhao Ming.

At this time, Zhao Ming walked out of the Governor's Office, and the people did not disperse. Zhao Ming then stood on the high ground and said loudly: "The Fu Pavilion Department has entrusted me to handle Su Song's government affairs. In the future, Su Song will always be ordered to leave the Right Governor's Office until the court sends a new Governor. I will tell you now that this matter will not be investigated and will satisfy everyone's demands. But if the trouble continues, it is to fight against me and fight against the court, and you will bear the consequences yourself!"

Since Zhao Dashui spoke and agreed with their request, the gentry and the people naturally did not want to make trouble again. In addition, some people in the crowd responded to Zhao Ming's call, so the people could only disperse without any satisfaction.

At this moment, Zhao Ming returned to the Right Governor's Office and was not polite. On the grounds of stabilizing the situation in Susong and maintaining local order, he announced that Susongchang's three places would be temporarily directly under the jurisdiction of the army, and posted an announcement to take over Susongchang's military and political affairs in full.

Zhao Ming first collaborated with nearly a hundred gentry including Qian Qianyi and others to impeach Fu Shangrui. Tens of thousands of people in Suzhou asked to dismiss Fu Shangrui and others, and asked the court to send the governor to come quickly to clean up the situation.

Secondly, Zhao Ming followed the promise and put three million taels of silver back to the Huaxing Silver. After this incident, many people who did not know the Huaxing Silver. Soon after, the Huaxing Silver Bank appeared in Su Songchang and the banknotes of the Huaxing Silver Bank appeared.

However, this kind of banknote is only circulated on a small scale, mainly used by gentry and merchants who hold shares in Huaxing Yinhao and use it when conducting transactions, and is not accepted by outsiders.

Then, Zhao Ming released the detained gentry, returned the extorted money, and comforted them with kind words, expressing his peace of mind, winning the hearts of the gentry in Jiangnan, so that Donghai Town can get the support of the gentry in Jiangnan.

Finally, Zhao Ming appointed Xu Fuyuan, Feng Jingdi and others to investigate the unrest in Suzhou, collect evidence of Fu Shangrui's crimes, and Xie Sanbin, who was hiding in the cesspool, escaped the pursuit of the people, but as soon as he crawled out, he was arrested again, which was a disaster.

Under Zhao Ming's series of actions, Suzhou City quickly recovered its peace. The gentry and merchants recovered the losses. The injured were carried into the clinic for treatment. Suzhou City quickly seemed to have nothing happened. The store opened and the workshop resumed work, and everything gradually returned to normal.

One day later, Songjiang Prefecture, Shanghai County, and next to the dock by the Huangpu River.

At night, a group of soldiers were wearing torches, and three men stood on the dock with their bags on their backs. When Ma Shiao waved his hand, the soldiers brought three boxes.

Ma Shiao opened one of them, which contained golden leaves, "This is what the Grand Marshal gave you. The silver is too heavy, and you will be given one hundred taels of gold each. After you go to Taiwan, someone will settle for you food and accommodation. After you get used to it, the Grand Marshal will move your family to Taiwan and reunite your family!"

The three of them were all run runners of the Governor's Office bought by Qian Qianyi. Several of them injured the people and caused riots. They could no longer stay in Susong, so they were sent to Taiwan by Zhao Ming.

When they get there, someone will register for them with a new book, change their names, and start a new life.

The three men took the small box worth about ten pounds and hurriedly thanked, "The villain thanked the handsome man for his kindness!"

Ma Shiao nodded slightly and instructed: "Get on the boat, the Suzhou affairs are rotten in my stomach. From today on, you are not the yamen runners in Suzhou, but the Kunshan people who survived after the Kunshan Massacre!"

The three men nodded and immediately boarded a lucky boat. In the night, the lucky boat raised sails and rose to its anchor. The ship crunched away from the dock, went downstream, straight into the Yangtze River, and then went east into the sea.
