Chapter 375 The Inertia of History Will Not Change Easily

Although Zhu Youjian was mentally prepared, he was still stunned for a full minute when he received the news that Wu Sangui surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and led the Qing army into the pass. He had to sigh that the inertia of history would not change because of his unexpected appearance.

Wu Sangui was born a traitor.

The Jinyiwei secret agent lurking in Shanhaiguan first passed the news of Wu Sangui's surrender to the Qing Dynasty to Lu Yiming stationed in Yutian, and then Lu Yiming sent someone to escort him back to the capital. He also passed it to Sun Chuanting stationed in Gu County.

Zhu Youjian had made preparations long ago. After receiving the news, he did not panic at all. The first imperial edict he issued was to send Gao Jie to raid the Wu family, put Wu Sangui's father Wu Xiang and other family members into the Tianlao, and confiscate all their property.

The predecessor fell into Huang Taiji's alienation plan and raided the home of Hong Chengchou, who was captured and had not surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, forcing Hong Chengchou to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. That was impotent rage. He raided Wu Sangui's home because he relied on something.

But then again, his predecessor and he had the same purpose, which was to kill one person to warn the rest, to deter those cowardly surrenderists, but the former did not work, and those cowardly surrendered to the Qing Dynasty anyway, while he would make those who betrayed their country and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty regret it, no matter where they fled, to heaven or hell, they would chop off their heads.

When the news of Wu Sangui's surrender to the Qing Dynasty spread, the whole capital was shaken and people were panicked, but some people secretly rejoiced, they felt that the opportunity to kill the tyrant had come.

Zhu Youjian's second imperial edict was to issue a national war mobilization order. He had secretly prepared for a long-term war, and now it was just public. He could also openly recruit soldiers and civilians, raise various military supplies such as food and grass, and continuously transport soldiers and weapons, ammunition, food and grass and other military supplies to the front line.

The third imperial edict was to implement military control in the capital, strictly prohibiting the price gouging of supplies, and those who violated the order would be given extremely severe punishments depending on the severity of the case, and in serious cases, their homes would be confiscated and their families would be exterminated.

The purpose of implementing military control is mainly to target the Donglin Party and those aristocratic tyrants who are ready to make a move, disrupt their action plans, force them to jump off the wall, and hastily launch a rebellion, so that he can easily close the net.

The strict prohibition of price gouging is to stabilize the people's hearts. The greed of the Donglin Party and the aristocratic tyrants is endless. They don't care about the survival of the Ming Dynasty and the lives of the people. They just want to make a fortune in the national disaster.

Wu Sangui, this guy, is a born traitor.

But then again, the predecessor and his purpose were the same, that is, to kill one to warn the hundred, to deter those who surrendered and were afraid of death, but the former did not work. Those who were afraid of death still surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and he would make those who betrayed the country and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty regret it. No matter where they fled, they would chop off their heads.
