Xu Sheng sent several Donggong guards to investigate the news, and not long after, the guards returned and carefully reported what happened in the city to Zhu Cihong.

It is said that the staff general Huang Degong is dealing with the fight between the people and the officers and soldiers, and the staff general Sun Yingyuan is leading some soldiers to suppress the riots and pacify the people in the city.

However, Sun Yingyuan was short of manpower, and only some of the ruffians and hooligans were arrested, and the riots continued to expand, and even ordinary people began to follow and rob property, and the situation became more and more serious.

Zhu Cihong's eyes were cold, and he said coldly: "Take advantage of the fire to rob? I really don't know whether to live or die! The order was given, Sun Yingyuan led the Yongwei battalion of 3,000 men and horses to maintain stability along the street, but whenever he encountered lawbreakers such as robbery and robbery, he did not need to ask for an order, he was directly killed, one person killed one person, one person killed one person, and ten thousand people killed ten thousand people! ”

The generals in the county government felt a chill in their hearts when they heard this, and the methods of the crown prince were really hard, and they had no worries at all, as if they didn't care about their reputation.

Zhu Cihong doesn't care so much, he doesn't take reputation too seriously, he firmly believes that strength is the king, and safeguarding the interests of the public is merit and the way of heaven.

In this troubled era, we need to use heavy codes to deter Xiaoxiao and protect the interests of more people.

Later, Huang Degong and Yang Qili returned and reported the whole incident of the fight between the officers and soldiers and the people.

Yang Qili also said that according to the secret reports of the people, in addition to some of the officers and soldiers who had served as Ertars, there were also some people among the people who had been minions of Jiannu.

At the beginning, they took advantage of the power of the Qing army, and the fox and the tiger did a lot of bad things, and after the Tartars were defeated, they were afraid that they would be liquidated and hide among the people.

Zhu Cihong was furious, there were county officials in Liangxiang who were martyred, and there were garrison generals who died in battle, how heroic this is, there are actually some officers and soldiers who are greedy for life and afraid of death surrender to Jiannu, and there are even people who are willing to be Jiannu lackeys!

Zhu Cihong gritted his teeth and said: "Continue to investigate, be sure to find out those dogs who have been two tartars one by one, this palace wants to let them die without a place to be buried!" ”

After the order was given, the sound of firecrackers in Liangxiang City continued, and groups of soldiers of the brave guard battalion dressed in iron armor walked neatly through the main streets, and as long as they saw lawless people taking advantage of the fire and looting on the streets, they would raise their guns and shoot them without mercy.

As they walked, the soldiers of the Yongwei battalion shouted loudly: "The crown prince's decree: martial law in the whole city!" No one is allowed to stay on the street, everyone goes home and enters the house, and the homeless squats on the spot, there is no need to panic, but if there is a person who runs around, kill on the spot! ”

"Anyone who takes advantage of the chaos to loot will be punished as a rebellious bandit, and there will be no mercy!"

Hearing the sound of announcements in the streets, many people saw again the army that had just entered the city through the cracks in the doors or through the cracks in the windows of the upper floors.

They were in a team of ten, some armed with spears and some with muskets, all of them were sturdy and brightly armoured, which made people feel intimidated.

Seeing that they were just patrolling along the streets, and Qiu didn't seem to have committed any crimes, the people in Liangxiang City, who were originally panicked, breathed a sigh of relief: it turned out that the crown prince's army was here to maintain stability.

Those who took advantage of the chaos to make money, when they heard these announcements, where did they dare to greet the Yongwei battalion, especially when they heard that they were going to be punished as rebellious bandits, everyone immediately panicked and fled in all directions.

However, when they ran down the other street, they found a group of sergeants patrolling the street and colliding with them.

Seeing that their faces were flustered and that they still had a lot of belongings on them, the soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion judged that they must be the rebels, so they greeted them directly without saying a word.

Seeing that they couldn't escape, some of the chaotic people knelt down and kowtowed desperately, saying that they would never dare anymore, but what responded to them was the high-end and high-grade self-generated sound from the soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion.

For a whole hour, the sound of fire guns in Liangxiang City continued, until the sun was about to set before it gradually quieted down, and the major streets of Liangxiang City were stained with blood, and the Yongwei Battalion executed more than 1,300 people in this operation.

In the hall of the county government, Zhu Cihong listened to Sun Yingyuan's report in front of him, and nodded with satisfaction, if he wants to make a fortune, he has to leave his dog's life!

After dealing with the rioters, Zhu Cihong ordered the restoration of order in the city, allowing the people to go to the streets, and posting notices on the streets explaining the causes and consequences of the riots.

In the notice, Zhu Cihong also offered a special bounty, asking the people to report the hidden two tartars, ten taels of silver after reporting one person is true, and promised to protect his life, and those who indiscriminately reported will be imprisoned for one year.

Since many people were illiterate, Zhu Cihong asked the literate people to read aloud in front of each announcement, and they would be rewarded with a penny of silver after reading it.

After an hour, those who read the announcement can easily earn two or three taels of silver, and truly understand the truth that the book has its own golden house and knowledge changes fate.

This way of making money suddenly attracted a large number of literate people, who came to the proclamation to earn money, and the soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion who guarded the proclamation did not refuse to come, as long as they opened their mouths to read, they gave money.

After this operation, the people in Liangxiang City knew about this announcement, not only understood why the army killed people, but more importantly, they could report it to make money.

As the sky got dark, Zhu Cihong decided to spend the night in Liangxiang City, and at the same time ordered to strengthen the defense of Liangxiang City, in case the Qing army took advantage of the night to kill a horse gun to recapture Liangxiang City.

Zhu Cihong planned to rest in the back office of the county government, which immediately aroused the opposition of the generals of the Yongwei battalion, and Wu Zhong, the eunuch of Zhongcui Palace, tried his best to dissuade him.

He said that the Houya is the place where Jiang Bingcai hanged himself, and the body of the county was buried here before today, which is very unlucky.

Zhu Cihong said: "The heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country, why is it unlucky? They are the heroes of the Ming Dynasty, and this palace is proud and proud of them! ”

Zhu Cihong strongly requested to stay in the back office where the magistrate used to live, and at this moment, all the generals of the Yongwei Battalion admired and respected the crown prince in their hearts.

In their hearts, the crown prince is not a show, everyone believes in ghosts and gods in this era, and ordinary children of a few years old dare not stay overnight when they hear about such a thing.

But the crown prince insisted, if he didn't have respect for the heroes and martyrs in his heart, how could he not be afraid?

The generals are most afraid that the horse leather shroud will be left unattended, and the monarch attaches so much importance to it, how can they not serve the country loyally and fight on the battlefield. Unconsciously, Zhu Cihong bought another wave of people's hearts.

That night, Zhu Cihong slept soundly.

And Wu Zhong, who was keeping vigil beside him, was miserable, and he would feel scared when the candle flame fluttered slightly, so he was tossed for a night.

Early in the morning of the second day, Zhu Cihong looked at the languishing Wu Zhong and couldn't help laughing: "Wu Daban, why are you still so timid after practicing the "Sunflower Treasure Book"? It's not as good as a child of a few years old. ”

Wu Zhong shrugged his head and said: "The young master is the reincarnation of Ziwei Emperor Xing, and he has dragon qi on his body and a hundred ghosts are inviolable, which can be compared to a slave maid, and the slave maid's little kung fu is just to strengthen the body.......

Zhu Cihong smiled helplessly: "You don't have to follow the class today, find a place to rest by yourself." ”

Wu Zhong smiled: "The slave has thanked the master for his understanding." ”

Zhu Cihong put on his clothes and walked out of the back office, before going out, he turned to Wu Zhong and said: "Another day, I will also let you cut off a few Tartar heads to practice courage, maybe you can also comprehend the sword technique of warding off evil spirits.......

Wu Zhong: "......."
