Li Chengqian is now simply using their own methods against them.
Even now, with countless powers gathered within him,
Compared to the various means by which high-ranking officials used to bully others, this is much more direct and simpler.
He made it clear to everyone that those who resist would die.
Unless someone is confident enough and has gathered enough power, anyone who doesn't want to die will naturally have no choice but to obediently submit.
It is worth mentioning that,
On the way to Nanjing City,
Qin Ye, the Grand General of the Qing Kingdom, was summoned by Li Chengqian with an imperial decree, stripped of his military power, and began to spend his days chatting with Emperor Qing.
Thus, when the first heavy snow fell, Nanjing City was already in sight.
Compared to Kyoto,
The pace of reform in Nanjing City even surpasses that of many other cities.
As a sage, Wang Yangming was decisive and efficient in his actions.
With two Grandmasters, Bai Qi and Ye Liuyun, presiding over the task,
No one in the entire city of Nanjing has the strength to challenge him.
Especially with the cooperation of the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) and the Jinyiwei (Imperial Guard), which belonged to the Northern Qi Dynasty,
Countless pieces of intelligence, almost every detail, fell into Wang Yangming's hands.
The first thing he did was kill someone.
The kind that involves confiscating property and exterminating the entire family.
Based on detailed evidence, a thorough purge was carried out from top to bottom.
Even among the first families to choose to seek refuge, only a handful of people survived.
The Northern Qi dynasty succeeded the Northern Wei dynasty, and there were many aristocratic families and nobles for hundreds of years.
Compared to the Qing Kingdom, which has risen to prominence in the last few decades, it is simply incomparable.
But this also means that the erosion within is already beyond cure.
On that day, Wang Yangming publicly executed everyone and read out their crimes in front of everyone.
The angry people were so eager to take action that they could hardly contain themselves, if it weren't for Bai Qi and Ye Liuyun personally maintaining order.
It is feared that a tragedy will occur on that very day.
Some people take pleasure in killing.
Some people openly abducted women and children, and wiped out entire families.
Each and every one of these incidents is utterly outrageous.
After the execution,
The air was almost filled with the lingering stench of blood.
However, Wang Yangming truly won the love and respect of the people in this city who had once belonged to the Northern Qi dynasty.
Subsequently, the implementation of the new policies led countless people to regard Wang Yangming as a living Buddha who saved them from suffering.
With the promotion of countless people
Li Chengqian, the monarch who promulgated the new policies, completely replaced the Northern Qi emperor who had once been a vague and unattainable figure in the hearts of these people.
After undergoing a top-down purge,
The resistance to the new policies was pitifully weak.
The new policy was implemented and put into practice very early on.
When Li Chengqian brought countless high-ranking officials and nobles from the Qing Kingdom to relocate the capital, Wang Yangming was naturally not idle either.
With ample money coming in, it's impossible to just leave it unused.
A large amount of money was spent.
This included the construction of government offices in various regions, as well as the establishment of modern hospitals led by Fan Ruoruo.
Many other academies, such as the Jixia Academy, were also established one after another.
The issues involved were incredibly complex.
Wang Yangming, Wan Sanqian, You Lian, and others were so busy every day that they couldn't find a moment to rest.
Although it has considerable support, both overt and covert,
But it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this huge city is undergoing a complete transformation.
Despite being busy, things were not chaotic at all.
Everything proceeded steadily and orderly, at a slow and steady pace.

On this day, outside Nanjing City, Wang Yangming led You Lian, Wan Sanqian, and countless citizens of the city to line the streets to welcome them.
Even with over 200,000 people coming, Wang Yangming had already made all the necessary preparations in advance.
There are corresponding personnel responsible for handling all aspects.
Li Chengqian alighted from the carriage and walked over step by step.
Wang Yangming should be the first to pay his respects.
"Your subject, Wang Yangming (85210), respectfully welcomes Your Majesty!"
Then came the countless ordinary people.
"This humble subject respectfully welcomes Your Majesty!"
The roar, like a torrent, almost shattered the clouds on the horizon.
Somewhere, Ye Liuyun watched this scene, his heart filled with countless emotions.
"To have such prestige among the people of other countries, there is probably only one in the whole world who can do it."
Bai Qi shook his head.
"Ordinary people are not heartless. They may not be well-educated, but they can still tell who treats them well."
"Furthermore, we can no longer address you as Your Highness; we should call you His Majesty."
Ye Liuyun nodded.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the world is truly unpredictable. It seems Your Majesty is not even twenty yet."
At such a young age, he has already reached the pinnacle of worldly power and martial arts.
He couldn't even imagine how powerful the Qing Kingdom would become in the future.
What can the Northern Qi and the Eastern Yi use to resist the Qing Kingdom now?
He shook his head slightly, not thinking about it deeply.
What the future holds is not something a mere warrior like him needs to worry about.
All he had to do was follow behind the other person and keep moving forward.
In just over ten days, more than 213 people smoothly integrated into Nanjing City.
From then on, preparations for Li Chengqian's enthronement ceremony began.
Including the time before the capital was moved, it had been exactly half a year since Li Chengqian left Shangjing.
What was said that day was absolutely true.
The first thing he did after succeeding to the throne was to establish the capital and change the reign title.
After some discussion, or rather, Li Chengqian's unilateral announcement,
The Qing Kingdom was renamed the Qin Kingdom, and Nanjing City was renamed Xianyang and designated as the capital.
For the people of Northern Qi
Nanqing's reputation for tyranny has long been deeply ingrained in people's minds.
When the world is unified in the future, Qin will be more acceptable than Qing.
At least, the impressions accumulated over the years will not be easily applied to it.
For the people of Qing, the ascension of a new ruler brought a fresh start.
Although the country's name has been changed, the similar sound makes it easier to accept.
In addition, it can also be seen as Li Chengqian paying tribute to the First Emperor.
After all, unifying the world is destined in this lifetime.
As for whether it can remain unchanged for eternity, that doesn't matter to him.
On this day, the enthronement ceremony was held as scheduled.
He performed the sacrificial ceremony on the high platform, received the congratulations of all the officials, and received the edict of succession.
After a series of complex and solemn procedures, Li Chengqian officially became the current ruler of the Qin state.
He was given the title of Holy Martial Emperor!
As he successfully ascended the throne, numerous task notification sounds rang out within the system.
Another chance to win a prize.
then,
Accompanied by numerous task-based lottery draws,
One by one, familiar historical figures appear in this world.
The Qin state mobilized a large number of high-ranking officials in less than half a month.
One decree was issued, and all regions obeyed without question.
On the one hand, the reform efforts in Kyoto shocked countless people, and Li Chengqian, having come all the way from Kyoto, spread his own prestige throughout the world.
