Chapter 267 Enduring and Enduring
While waiting anxiously, September 24th arrived.
During the day, good news came one after another from various places in Beizhili, and everything was going well.
The forces behind the crimes in the three places were all arrested.
However, these good news did not make the factory guard and Zhu Houzhao very happy.
Beizhili is where the capital is located and where the Ming Dynasty had the strongest control.
The urban gang forces have been almost wiped out a long time ago.
The effort invested this time is minimal, and it is normal to go smoothly.
Until news came from Yudi that the Money Gang had been taken down and Shangguan Jinhong was captured alive. With the help of two strong men from Longhu Mountain, Shangguan Xiaoxian took control of the top management of the Money Gang and began to cooperate. Jin Yiwei conducts a thorough investigation.
With the active cooperation of the Money Gang, the surrounding gangs will be honest and will not implicate many innocent people.
After receiving this news, Guo Bujing and others were relieved, and Zhu Houzhao was happy.
Soon, news came back from the northern border that Chaiyuguan was successfully captured and Happy City was fully under control.
Zhu Houzhao laughed and waited a lot more patiently.
In the evening, Zhu Houzhao had dinner with the girls. Except for Shangguan Xiaoxian, all the other imperial concubines were there.
Because something important was happening, they did not celebrate Zhu Houzhao's sixteenth birthday. All the girls were solemn at this time.
At this time, news came from Nanzhili that the Nujiao Gang had been taken down and a thorough investigation was under way.
By the evening of September 25th, news from the other major forces had also come back.
Without exception, everything goes smoothly.
"Hahaha, I knew there would be nothing wrong." Zhu Houzhao laughed.
Guo Bujing, Cao Zhengchun and others were really relieved, and half of the second step was completed.
In the overall plan, the first step is to seal down brothels, casinos and dental shops.
The second step is to take action against the forces behind the crimes in the three places.
Eight of the large forces count as half a step, and the remaining half step is to cleanse small and medium-sized urban gang forces.
Because there are too many people, and there are many people involved behind the scenes, and even people with great power in the righteous way are implicated, so more time is needed for review.
At the same time, the finishing issue is also in the second step of the plan, which requires more time.
The news that has come back one after another in the past two days is generally smooth.
At this time, the entire Ming Dynasty martial arts world was completely in a state of excitement and excitement.
The news that the Ming Dynasty court was aggressively attacking the martial arts forces quickly spread throughout the country.
"Go crazy, go crazy, the court has started to take action against all the martial arts forces in the Ming Dynasty. What happened in Jin is going to happen throughout the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Shengwu and the court are really crazy!"
"No, the imperial court is only taking action against those behind the scenes in the three places who forced girls into prostitution and harmed people. It is not taking action against the entire martial arts world."
"Yes, I heard that Wudang Master Zhang and Shaolin Saint Wuji personally took action, and Wudang Shaolin were all involved. It is definitely not the imperial court that took action against the entire martial arts world."
"Yes, look at the imperial court's response this time Who are these people? The eight major forces, the Nu Jiao Gang, the Western Demon Cult, and the Tian Xia Hui, are all evil and even demonic forces. Their subordinates have controlled countless brothels, casinos, dental shops and other industries, and have harmed countless people. < br>
Those small and medium-sized forces are mostly gangs, landlords and gentry in local towns. These people oppress the people, and it is right to deal with them
It is time to deal with them. ”
"It seems true, but those eight major forces all had great masters at their command, and they were destroyed by the imperial court!
This is obviously the first step. Next, the imperial court will definitely wipe out all the martial arts forces that do not surrender step by step, just like what happened in Jin Dynasty. "
····
"The imperial court took action like this. As soon as it took action, it was the eight major forces with powerful masters, as well as countless small and medium-sized forces. The Ming Dynasty was going to be in chaos. Got it! "
"There can be no chaos, Wudang and Shaolin have all stood up to support it. "
"What are Master Zhang and the Holy Monk Wuji thinking? Do we really want the imperial court to manage the martial arts world? ”
····
Countless voices of support, opposition, joy, or fear rose up all over the Ming Dynasty.
Countless emotions turned into undercurrents, surging.
The forces and figures in the middle and lower classes can only be discussed, while those in the middle and upper classes are mostly silent.
Most people in evil ways and demonic ways are frightened and stressed like mountains.
On the righteous side, most of them looked towards Shaolin and Wudang with flickering eyes, and many of them had ugly expressions.
Shaolin and Wudang, the two powerful heavenly beings, personally took action against the martial arts forces of the Ming Dynasty. This was not against other countries, but the martial arts forces of the Ming Dynasty.
What this means is self-evident.
As for the previous actions, there are still a few words to defend. After all, it was another country.
This time, I will make a thorough announcement and tell everyone that Shaolin Wudang has favored the imperial court.
This was a huge blow to those forces in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty that were hostile to the imperial court.
Many people secretly cursed Shaolin and Wudang.
Who is the righteous leader of martial arts?
What kind of powerful person is this?
Actually become a court eagle dog!
Many people from the righteous path secretly scold them, and even more people from the evil path and the demonic path scold them.
Because if the righteous way can't resist the imperial court, then they can't even more.
Looking at the precedents in Jin, most of the evil and demonic forces must be wiped out.
How does this keep them calm?
At the same time, no matter whether they are on the right path, evil path, or demonic path, whether they are hostile or not, many big forces are frightened.
The frightened imperial court took action as soon as it was told, and eliminated eight forces with powerful masters in one fell swoop. This is a strong deterrent to all forces.
Because there are not many in the entire Ming Dynasty that are stronger than these eight forces.
Although this is the action of the two powerful heavenly beings from Shaolin and Wudang, this is even more terrifying. The two great heavenly beings are the power of the imperial court. Isn’t it scary?
What frightened them even more was not the destruction of eight large forces.
It is a matter of attacking thousands of small and medium-sized forces at the same time and taking them down.
Thousands of small and medium-sized forces, it seems that the court does not need to dispatch powerful people above the Grand Master, it is nothing.
But the intelligence and middle-level power displayed in this are simply terrifying to think about.
Especially when the layout is planned in a short period of time and started on the same day.
This means that the imperial court's control has penetrated deep into the bottom of the Ming Dynasty.
The power of the middle and lower classes in the imperial court has reached an incredible and frightening level.
In other words, the strength of the middle and lower classes is the foundation of a country.
If the foundation is unstable, no matter how powerful the top management is, it will not work. The sky is high and the emperor is far away is enough to illustrate.
The destruction of thousands of small and medium-sized forces on the same day was a greater deterrent and shock to the high-level forces of the Ming Dynasty.
Coupled with the support of Shaolin Wudang and the destruction of the eight major forces, those who cursed secretly could only curse secretly and did not dare to show it openly. What if there were Jinyiwei spies around?
Most people don't dare to do anything more.
Only a handful of people are doing something secretly, unwillingly, or ambitiously.
At this moment, the Tianshan Sect and Cihang Jingzhai publicly announced their support for what the imperial court had done.
He also sent disciples to help the court clean up the mess.
Immediately afterwards, the Huashan faction and the Yin family of Yujian Villa announced that they also supported what the imperial court was doing and sent people to help the imperial court.
The successive statements of these four companies once again shocked countless people.
The right path, the evil path, the demonic path, etc., all have different emotions.
As if awakened, the Emei Sect among the Eight Righteous Sects officially announced that it supported what the imperial court was doing and sent disciples to help the imperial court.
The remaining three factions, Kunlun, Kongtong, and Diancang, immediately followed suit.
Also announced are the Zhengdao Jingnian Temple, Qingcheng Sect, Bodhi Temple, Beggar Clan, Murong Family, Nangong Family, Shenjian Villa, Peacock Villa, Wugou Villa, Xiake Villa, etc.
All the righteous forces announced their support for the imperial court.
As for whether they are sincere or have to do this, only they themselves know.
But on the surface, there is no righteous force to pull it down.
With this announcement, the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty suddenly became calm again, as if a storm was approaching.
Many people in the evil ways and demonic ways are angry and curse loudly.
A bunch of spineless things.
Shaolin Wudang took the lead, and others followed, and they all surrendered immediately.
Also worthy of being called the Righteous Way?
No matter how many people were dissatisfied overtly or covertly, in the blink of an eye, the entire righteous path was compromised like this.
Guo Bujing, Cao Zhengchun and others breathed a sigh of relief again.
This is considered stable.
Then the factory guards were not polite, and people from three places who were implicated in the righteous way came directly to ask for it.
Shaolin and Wudang still took the lead, handing over more than thirty and twenty people from their sects, including three innate realms, two from Shaolin and one from Wudang.
This scene made the righteous forces stupid.
After another round of secretly cursing, most of the forces had to hand it over.
A small number of people used various methods, mainly procrastination, and no one dared to refuse or resist directly.
Under the compromise of the righteous forces, the factory guards quickly made the finishing touches.
On October 3, Zhu Houzhao officially issued a decree to ban all brothels and gambling dens in the Ming Dynasty, and no more brothels and gambling dens were allowed to be established.
Abolition of lowly status and all brothel girls to be good.
Humanity is not allowed to be bought and sold. Even biological parents have no right to sell their children. Violators, both buyers and sellers, will be sentenced to more than ten years in prison.
All contracts of renunciation were abolished and replaced by employment. There were also corresponding rules for employment. Most of them were what Zhu Houzhao said on that day, and only some were improved.
With this imperial edict, the entire Ming Dynasty was shaken again.
The brothels and casinos that existed for more than a thousand years were abandoned.
The people at the bottom don't care about this, it has nothing to do with them. Most people in the martial arts world and slightly wealthy people from all walks of life find it unbelievable.
Many people want to ask Emperor Shengwu if he is confused?
Without brothels and gambling dens, what fun would there be?
People are not allowed to be bought and sold, and all contracts of sale are abolished. This is something that all classes, including the lower classes, care about.
The richer the person, the harder it is to accept it.
This is simply depriving them of their wealth.
Too much!
Many people who endured it again and again became angry, and then continued to endure it again.
(Chapter 3, thank you for your support.)
