Zhu Zhixiu is dead, so what's the point of their resistance?

"Run away!"

Many generals who knew that they would surely die if they fell into the imperial court almost immediately chose to escape.

While Anhua City has not yet been breached, they still have a chance to escape. If they don't escape now, will they have to wait to die?

The rebel army of more than a dozen generals who fled to defend the city suddenly collapsed. Facing the imperial army that had climbed up the city wall, they were unable to resist at all.

Almost half an hour later, as a large number of soldiers and horses entered the city, the city gates opened wide, and the cavalry who had been waiting rushed into the city, and Anhua City came down with a drum.

Prince Anhua's Mansion

More than half an hour ago, King Anhua climbed up the city wall in high spirits, confident that he could rely on the reward to boost his morale and hold on to Anhua City to wait for the arrival of the Tatars.

But more than half an hour later, King Anhua's body was lying quietly in the hall of the palace.

All the relatives of Anhua Prince's Mansion have been captured, including Prince Anhua's concubine, heirs, etc. It can be said that because the city was breached so quickly, Anhua Prince's Mansion was captured by the imperial army before they even figured out what happened. It was captured so that no one in the palace could escape.

Li Huan walked into the hall, and everyone in the Anhua Palace suddenly looked at Li Huan.

Zhu Taixu, the eldest son of King Anhua, looked at Li Huan and others walking over with a look of horror on his face.

Li Huan and others, who were all dressed in military uniforms, had an evil aura about them. How had the Zhu family, who were born in the royal family, ever seen such a situation, especially when Zhu Zhixiu's body was still lying on the ground.

With a pop, Zhu Taiqiu was so frightened that he fell to the ground. Not only Zhu Taiqiu, but also Zhu Zhixiu's younger brother and several other royal family members were also frightened and backed away one by one.

Li Huan just glanced at Zhu Taishu and others lightly, and his eyes fell on Zhu Zhixiu's body.

The arrow in Zhu Zhixiu's chest is still there, and he was obviously shot to death by Li Huan.

Looking at Zhu Zhixiu's wide-open eyes, Li Huan took a deep breath and said: "Come here, take the body of the rebel king Zhu Zhixiu and everyone from Anhua Palace to the capital, and hand them over to His Majesty for disposal."

Li Huan then said: "At the same time, the whole city will be raided. Anyone who joins forces with King Anhua and conspires to rebel will have their families confiscated and their families destroyed."

Following Li Huan's order, Anhua City suddenly fell into mourning, especially since many wealthy families in Anhua City had previously supported Zhu Zhixiu openly or covertly.

After all, the banner of Zhu Zhixiu's rebellion was to oppose Liu Jin's New Deal and to clear the emperor's side, and Liu Jin's New Deal threatened the interests of these wealthy families.

It can be said that the reason why Zhu Zhixiu had the courage to rebel and put it into action was the explicit or covert support of 90% of the wealthy families in Anhua City.

Although these wealthy families did not come forward openly, Li Huan did not talk about this. He directly searched the letters between these wealthy families and Prince Anhua from the Anhua Palace, as well as the account books of their money and materials, and arrested them according to the roster.

In the evening, Xu Ying looked tired, but her eyes were filled with sparkle. She walked into a hall with a bit of excitement and said to Li Huan, who was looking at a map: "General. Xu Ying, I have met the general."

Li Huan turned around, glanced at Xu Ying, smiled slightly and said, "Xu Ying, what's the matter?"

Xu Ying said hurriedly: "General, I have been ordered to capture the thieves. According to your instructions, we have captured all thirty-two wealthy families in the city. Please tell me if these people should be escorted to the capital together." "

Li Huan heard the words and said calmly: "Those who are thieves should be punished according to the law and the nine tribes should be killed."

Xu Ying couldn't help but froze when she heard this, and looked at Li Huan in great surprise, obviously not expecting that Li Huan would say that.

After all, in Xu Ying's view, the wealthy families in Anhua City supported King Anhua's rebellion. The evidence was conclusive and they must be taken to the capital and handed over to the court for disposal. However, according to Li Huan's opinion, it seemed that they were not allowed to do so at all. There is no need to take him to the capital, but to deal with it directly.

So Xu Ying had a look of astonishment on her face. Li Huan glanced at Xu Ying and said, "What? Is there anything else?"

After reacting, Xu Ying took a deep breath and said: "General, the total number of those families is over a thousand, are they really all killed?"

Li Huan glanced at Xu Ying and said: "All the men have been killed, and the women have been brought into the Jiaofang Division. Do you still have any doubts?"

Xu Ying's expression became serious and she said in a deep voice: "The last general will take orders."

Looking at Xu Ying's leaving figure, Li Huan's face looked gloomy, and his eyes fell on the pile of account books and letters on the desk.

These account books and letters were all found from the homes of wealthy families in the city when Xu Ying led his troops to confiscate them.

From these account books and letters, Li Huan was shocked to discover that at least half of these dozens of wealthy families were secretly smuggling various prohibited items to the Tatars traveling up the grassland.

For example, the Liu family in Anhua City was one of the largest merchants in Qingyang Prefecture, and their caravans traveled between the Ming Dynasty and the grasslands.

Normal caravans traveling between the Ming Dynasty and the grasslands mostly sell some tea oil cloth and other items, such as salt and iron, which are generally not touched.

However, the Liu family specializes in smuggling salt and iron to the Tatars. Not only that, the Liu family has close relations with several tribes. Not only does it smuggle salt and iron to these tribes, but it also helps these tribes to transport them. The property looted from the Central Plains was realized.

Relying on these shady means, the Liu family is almost the richest man in Anhua City. This time when King Anhua rebelled, the Liu family was the most enthusiastic in helping King Anhua to connect with the Tatars.

In addition to the Liu clan, there is also the Zheng clan. The Zheng clan is no worse than the Liu clan, because the Zheng clan has a munitions officer in Ningxia Town, who controls the storage and deployment of ordnance supplies in Ningxia Town.

Distribution, although the official position is not high, the authority is not bad at all.

The Zheng family had no interest in smuggling salt and iron. They directly sold the weapons in their generals to the Tatars quietly, making a lot of profits.

Zheng Ping and Zheng Wen'an, who were previously regarded as the arms of King Anhua and sent to contact the Tatars and seek help from the Tatars, were from the Zheng family.

It can be said that most of the dozens of powerful families that were taken down are related to the Tatars. As for the rest, they are all powerful people who roam the countryside and prey on the common people. It may be possible to kill the direct descendants of these powerful families one by one.

Those who have been wronged will definitely slip through the net if they kill every other person.

Xu Ying, who was filled with evil spirits and had a solemn expression, walked out of the palace and saw Chen Ang, Cao Xiong and others walking over.

Chen Ang glanced at Xu Ying and felt that something was wrong with Xu Ying. He subconsciously said: "Xu Ying, what are you doing?"

Xu Ying subconsciously raised her head, glanced at Chen Ang and said, "Kill!"

Chen Ang, Cao Xiong, and Ren Ping were stunned when they heard this. Anhua City has been completely controlled, and all those who should be arrested have been arrested. At this time, Xu Ying actually said to kill people, so naturally he ordered Chen Ang, Cao Xiong

Several people were confused.

Chen Ang frowned, looked at Xu Ying, and said with a bit of surprise: "Killing? Who is it?"
