Chapter 781: Triumphant Return (2)
"Go and tell them that this king has decided that at noon in the next three days, at the entrance of the vegetable market in the city, he will publicly behead more than ten pirate leaders captured alive this time, so that people can get ready, go!" Chu Ziheng instructed a guard, and the guard nodded and went out.
Ruoyun, who came in with food, couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, "You want to kill so many people at once?" ”
"Don't worry, Yun'er, these people all deserve it, maybe the minions who followed them are just ordinary people, who were forced to embark on this road because of life, but these leaders of them are all extremely vicious people, burning, killing and looting are all evil, and the lives in their hands are unknown, and it is cheap to kill them once!" Chu Ziheng said.
Ruoyun couldn't help but nod when he thought of the pirates he heard about, burning, killing and looting innocent people, he really should be killed!
While the two were eating, Ruoyun told Chu Ziheng in detail what happened today.
Chu Ziheng put down his chopsticks when he heard this: "It seems that someone can't hold it!" ”
In fact, today's things seem to have been solved safely, but the main thing is that Ruoyun and Tian'er have the ability, and it will not be so simple if others encounter them.
First of all, if Ruoyun was really just a teenage girl, maybe after hearing the gossip about Chu Ziheng's accident, she would already be in a mess and didn't know how to deal with it.
In addition, when Mrs. Xiang and Xiang Shaoyu cried and begged like this, and then made such a plan, maybe they were really fooled because they were worried about their husbands.
When the time comes, I really order Qi Zili to send troops, if Qi Zili can't withstand Ruoyun's pressure and send troops. That Ruoyun's back house is convicted of interfering in politics, and only someone needs to stab the emperor and the queen, although the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, he will definitely be punished.
At that time, Ruoyun, the princess, will not only have a bad reputation, but whether she can continue to be the princess is still two words, and the court is the most taboo in the back house to do politics!
When Chu Ziheng returned victoriously, Ruoyun was dragging him back, and the reputation of King An's Mansion was bad, which would definitely affect Chu Ziheng's next errands, maybe King Zhao was also very happy to fall into the well at this time. After all, the sea ban is blocked!
And then there is the troubles of today's merchants. This was clearly premeditated.
And later, Ruoyun asked people to check the medicine used by Master Hu, and found that the medicine he used today had long been missing, and it was conceivable that someone must have changed his medicine. That's what caused him to suddenly fall ill today.
Later, if it wasn't for Tian'er to handle it properly. The scene was shaken. They also have superb medical skills here, and they forcibly pulled people back from the Hades Palace, otherwise things would be even worse.
If this old man Hu is really dead today. Regardless of whether he died because of his original illness or because of something else, people will only end up counting the matter on the head of the maritime yamen.
A few days after the opening of the maritime yamen, there was a fatality, which made Chu Ziheng's face go there, and made the emperor who wholeheartedly supported the opening of the sea ban become passive, and those who opposed the opening of the sea ban in the court would definitely not let go of this opportunity, and it is estimated that the spitting stars of the official will annihilate Chu Ziheng.
If there were any more agitation and agitation of those merchants, making them think that the maritime yamen was unreliable and could be killed casually, then the merchants who planned to come to the sea to pan for gold withdrew one after another.
At that time, although the sea ban was opened, no one participated, so what kind of momentum did this sea ban have, and Chu Ziheng's official affairs would be even more difficult.
This one by one is interlocking, the front dynasty and the inner house are all counted, and the intentions are treacherous, just to make a stumbling block in the matter of opening the sea ban, so that Chu Ziheng's errand can't be done!
So Chu Ziheng said that some people can't hold it back, but that's okay, as long as these people can't hold it, they will eventually show their feet, and then it's time for him to liquidate.
And his decision just now to publicly kill more than a dozen people including the pirate leader three days later was actually for deterrence and prestige.
He just wants to let these restless people see, his Chu Ziheng's methods are also very hard, the pirates will fight when they say they will fight, and the wicked will kill when they say they will kill, don't provoke him easily, otherwise his methods are not vegetarian!
At the same time, let the people along the coast know that he Chu Ziheng is here to do things for them! ——
Three days later, at the entrance of Yangcheng Caishi, a total of eighteen pirate leaders lined up, and Chu Ziheng gave an order, and those executioners raised their knives and fell, and eighteen people were suddenly in different places.
At that time, blood spurted out and flowed all over the entrance of the vegetable market, and the yamen sent people to clean up for a whole afternoon to wash away the bloodstains.
However, this incident has greatly increased the prestige of An Wangfu and Chu Ziheng in Yangcheng.
These coastal people hated and feared pirates, and almost every family of people who begged for a living on the seashore had relatives who were bad in their hands, so they hated pirates to the core.
But because the pirates burned, killed, looted, and did all kinds of evil, they, the defenseless people, had to be afraid of them.
This time, Chu Ziheng publicly executed so many pirates, which can be said to be unpleasant.
It is said that after hearing about it, some people even go on a whole day to come and see the pirates killed, so as to relieve the hatred in their hearts, as if they can see the feeling of revenge on their relatives.
When these pirates were tied up at the entrance of the vegetable market, they were already surrounded by people, and people threw stones and rotten vegetable leaves at the pirates who were tied up with flowers, scolding some beasts and not people, which could be regarded as relieving the hatred in their hearts.
Even the scene where the executioner raised his knife and fell and the head fell to the ground, only those women and children screamed and covered their eyes, but many of those men or people full of hatred still watched their heads fall to the ground with wide eyes, which shows the hatred of coastal people for pirates, that is, they have to watch each other fall to the ground to relieve their hatred.
After the beheading, the crowd couldn't help but burst into bursts of applause, and the people were greatly encouraged, after all, this was the largest operation to clear the pirates in recent years.
Before, Xiang Guohua and Qi Zili were in charge of the sailors, although they were also pirates. But it is definitely not as hard as Chu Ziheng, and it is generally after the pirates come ashore, they have more passive self-defense, and it is rare to take the initiative to attack.
Come to think of it, how dangerous it is to go to sea, not only are there pirates who are familiar with naval warfare, but the biggest problem is that the bad weather is also on the land, which is different from the land, in case something happens, the vast sea should not be called the earth and the earth. If you're not careful, you might not be able to get back.
They can sit on the shore and command. Stay in the house and enjoy, there is no hard task, who is willing to take this risk!
And Chu Ziheng also stood up and spoke when he was greatly encouraged by this time.
He began to talk about how the court would defend itself against pirates in the future. How to protect the safety of the people. How the people of the coast live a peaceful life. No more fearful days.
Later, he talked about the opening of the sea ban, talked about the benefits of the sea ban, and talked about the aftermath of the sea ban. There are more ships coming and going on the seaside, and for the sake of trade security, the imperial court will also increase the defense of the coast, and the safety of the people will be more guaranteed.
Moreover, he said that after the opening of maritime trade, there will be more businessmen coming and going, and not only will the business on the seaside be easy, but there will also be a lot of recruitment, as long as you are not afraid of hardship, you can find a job if you are willing to work, and then everyone will have additional income, and your livelihood will be good.
Chu Ziheng's words were first raised to ensure the safety of the people, and then the issue of everyone's livelihood in the future was raised, which were all closely related to the people, and the people were even more encouraged when they heard it.
As long as the safety is guaranteed, plus they are not afraid of hardship, they can find a job to do at the wharf, and they can go to the sea to fish by relying on the water draft, and they can always fill their stomachs, and they will have a head in the future.
The people's wish is very simple, as long as they live a stable life, eat enough and dress warmly, after listening to Chu Ziheng's words, they couldn't help but applaud, and they all opened their mouths to support King An's ban on opening the sea, long live the emperor!
For a time, Chu Ziheng's prestige was raised several notches in the hearts of the people.
If Chu Ziheng came out to say something as soon as he came to Yangcheng, it is estimated that the people would not be so supportive, because he didn't seem to be just a young man, although he was a prince, but there was nothing convincing.
People will only think that he is just saying something big casually, and they will not believe it too much!
However, he personally led his troops to the sea to fight the pirates, and captured so many people alive, and the matter of beheading at the entrance of the vegetable market was close at hand, which immediately proved his ability and ability, and people believe in people who have the ability!
When you have the ability, the words you say will have authority, and people will be convinced of you, so Chu Ziheng will choose this one to say these words in public, and it also plays the expected role, and the effect is very good!
And since that day, the security in Yangcheng has been much better.
Because there are a lot of businessmen who have come recently, they have brought some belongings, and there have been several thefts, and there are some local bastards in Yangcheng who have cheated these businessmen and deceived a few businessmen, so the public security is a little chaotic.
Obviously, it was Chu Ziheng's iron-blooded methods of killing so many pirates that day that made these gangsters jealous, for fear that he would provoke this prince and take them to the end, so they also restrained a lot.
In this good situation, the sea ban that had been prepared for a period was finally opened.
Although those people are so calculating, they can't withstand the powerful methods of Chu Ziheng and his wife, they are not fooled at all, and they have not made any mistakes, but their calculations have failed.
On the day of the opening of the sea ban, Chu Ziheng personally took the people of the maritime yamen to the beach to worship the sea, and Ye Zhong from the prefect's yamen also came with some officials. (To be continued......)
