Killing people to get meat is just a matter of a few days, and it is far from enough time for the production of bacon. However, the corpses transported back by the feudal soldiers have all undergone basic treatment, and many of them have begun to be pickled, and no one can determine whether this piece of meat is from that Xiucai. So Chen Kai insisted that it was his, and there was nothing wrong with it, just because compared to other ordinary people, this is a famous scholar, even if he is killed, the county annals will have a record, these gentry and wealthy families have also seen them with their own eyes, and they have had dealings with them in the past, and they have stood in front of them alive, which is far more shocking than any person.

The mystery was revealed, and in the lobby of the county government, even when there was silence, even the mat in the courtyard outside the hall seemed to feel the silence inside, and quickly fell silent.

There was already a pin drop here, for fear of smelling a foul smell, and everyone held their breath. However, in less than a moment, Jin Weixin, as the head of Li Dingguo's staff, felt nausea welling up in his throat and spit directly on the table, unable to even cover his hands.

spit out, and Jin Weixin hurriedly bowed to the ground in the direction of Li Dingguo. However, before he finished his apology of "the student was rude", the chain reaction broke out instantly, and the lobby immediately vomited into a piece, pouring out all the food they had eaten and drunk before Chen Kai came.

Here, only Chen Kai is as talented as Fangcai, as if he is not in the same world as these people at all. is so calm and composed, it's not that he doesn't feel disgusting, it's because he has been nauseous enough on the road, even if he has known this history for many years and heard about this tragedy, but when he sees it with his own eyes, it is just as difficult to contain.

On the way, Chen Kai couldn't help but recall that April seven years ago, how frightened he was when he looked at the naked headless corpses in Niujia Village. This is an era when cannibalism is blatantly eaten without the slightest concealment, and the cruelty seen with one's own eyes is completely different from those seen through screens and books.

At this moment, even the locals of Xinhui, who had been under siege for months, could not suppress this disgusting feeling. However, the reaction of Li Dingguo and the northern generals under his command was much smaller-it was not that they were blind and blind to the extent that they could not distinguish between people and animals like those feudal soldiers, but they had seen too much in the great chaos in the north in those years, and they were already a little numb.

"You feel disgusted because you still have a human conscience in your heart. It's a pity that those feudal soldiers don't have them. They scavenged for grain and grass and put them in the storehouse to raise rats. Not only that, but they also had to kill people for meat to make bacon, and these minions only wanted to defend the city for their masters, and for this they did not hesitate to starve the people of the city to death. The ancients said that the beasts ate people, which is probably what it meant. ”

The guards stood there with their eyebrows lowered and pleasing their eyes, carrying the tray with both hands, and placing the piece of bacon in front of everyone's eyes clearly, without the slightest concealment, and without the slightest concealment.

Everyone present had avoided the object as much as possible, but the disgusting energy that came out of their hearts was there that could be regarded as non-existent if they were not seen, and it was inevitable that it continued to affect them.

Misinterpreted, or literally explained the meaning of cannibalism at the rate of beasts, Chen Kai changed his words and said to Li Dingguo: "When the city was broken, the lower official once asked His Highness how to deal with the captive master, but he did not make a decision at that time. Now, it just so happens that all the gentry and virtuous people in this county are gathered here, and the lower officials think that it is better to hand over the decision to them, what does His Highness think? ”

As soon as the words came out, everyone present was immediately stunned, and for a while, they couldn't even take care of the nausea, and all their eyes instantly converged on Chen Kai's body.

"This ......"

Li Dingguo seemed to be a little incomprehensible, but without waiting for others to react, Lian Chengbi immediately clapped his hands and praised: "Chen Fujun's words are very good!" ”

Lian Chengbi's reaction immediately stunned the generals and staff of the Ming army. It must be known that not long ago, when Chen Kai first arrived, he was inseparable from Guo Zhiqi and Lian Chengbi, and then Guo Zhiqi temporarily avoided the edge, and Chen Kai did not stalk him, but the contradiction between the Yuexi Civil Official Group and the Zheng Group has been clearly placed in front of everyone's eyes.

However, the two sides did not engage in further infighting in the face of Li Dingguo, and Lian Chengbi even praised Chen Kai's good methods, which was already out of their understanding of party struggle.

Next, Lian Chengbi made an analysis of the concept of "good and evil will be rewarded in the end", emphasizing that the Qing army was doing evil in Xinhui, so it was natural to hand it over to the locals to deal with.

"The company is worthy of the name of the Jinxi genius of the year, and this understanding of retribution is admired by the lower officials." Lian Chengbi said something to help, and Chen Kai also hurriedly praised it. The two sang and harmonized, and directly blocked those Xinhui sages into a solid one. At this time, Chen Kai asked Li Dingguo again, and Li Dingguo had already reacted, and praised Chen Kai's idea as no better.

The three high-ranking officials present had already set the tone, and Chen Kai didn't ask if the local gentry and wealthy families in Xinhui were happy, so he directly said the rules: "Each person has a piece of paper, and the paper has their own names and the way to dispose of those Tartars, let's vote to decide, which method has more votes, we will use whichever method." Fairness, justice, how? ”

It is said that it is a vote, and the individual has the right to decide, but the local gentry and wealthy families present are all bitter. said how to deal with them, but in fact, where did anyone dare to write words like release. At this time, whoever dares to ride the wall is the enemy of the Ming army. This is not a vote at all, it was Chen Kai who asked them to vote for the Ming army!

Unashamedly claiming to be fair and just, Chen Kai's shamelessness really refreshed their understanding of this prestigious and capable minister. Among the people, as the leader of this county, Mo Zhilian looked at Li Dingguo, Lian Chengbi, and Chen Kai there, and couldn't help swallowing saliva, and then her eyes rolled and she immediately stood up.

"Chen Fujun's method is very good, and it is in response to, well, it has responded to the ancient precept that the saint has no class."

has lived for most of her life, Mo Zhilian has never heard of the saying that her character has increased her winning rate, but Li Dingguo has become a famous king twice, and Chen Kai has also played the two feudal clans in Guangdong, and they are all ruthless characters who are the number one in the world. At this time, since people are forced to stand in line, he can only stand up hard, and he always has to gamble. What's more, from the heart, after this siege, he also saw the inhumanity of the Qing army with his own eyes, this time the Ming army entered the city, did not slaughter, and opened a porridge factory, no matter how you look at it, the Ming army is more likely to treat them well.

After talking nonsense, Mo Zhilian raised her hands in favor of Chen Kai's decision. Chen Kai saw this attitude in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but skim a smile.

"Well, if the official wants to come, it's better to decide whether to kill or not to kill first, and set the tone first, which is relatively simple."

"Chen Fujun is reasonable."

"Chen Fujun's words are very kind, and he is talking about the heart of our waiting."

With example, there are more to follow. Next, the voting went smoothly, and everyone wrote their names on the paper according to Chen Kai's method, and wrote down their opinions on whether to kill or not to kill, and then folded it in half, and handed it over to the guard's tray.

"Then let's start singing."

Chen Kai swaggered to his seat and sat down, Jin Weixin understood, took advantage of his efforts to wipe off the vomit on his beard, bowed to Li Dingguo, Lian Chengbi and Chen Kai, and then walked to the guard, stretched out his hand to pick up a ticket, and shouted: "Mo Zhilian in this county, kill!" ”

With that, Jin Weixin raised the ticket and publicized it to everyone. Since there were also gentry and wealthy families from the county outside the lobby, they also voted, so Jin Weixin looked around the lobby for a week, and handed the ticket to Gong Ming, who took the ticket to the outside to publicize.

"Li Lingchang, the tribute student of this county, kill!"

It's another vote, and it's publicized to everyone. Next, the votes cast by the participants in the county were read out one by one, some directly written to kill, and some used words such as execution, killing, etc. After tossing for a long time, after the announcement was read, the opinions of the local gentry and wealthy families in Xinhui were still very unanimous, they all wanted to execute those Qing soldiers, and there was no proposal to leave a way for the Qing army to live.

"Very good, this official really did not misunderstand the kings, they are all loyal and righteous people who are inseparable from the Tartars."

Why did the loyal and righteous people not stand up to fight when the Qing army was defending the city, and why did the Ming and Qing dynasties fight for Guangdong for so many years and did not organize the people to resist the Qing Dynasty like Zhang Jiayu, Chen Zizhuang, and Chen Bangyan. But since Chen Kai said so, everyone naturally responded like this, and whoever bothered about the details had the same name and surname as the Japanese celebrity - lack of heart.

"Kill, it's been decided. The specific method, the official has an idea, but it happens to be a detailed reference with the gentlemen. ”

………………

After deciding the fate of the Qing army, the celebration banquet in the county government ended not too long. The three of them divided labor, Li Dingguo returned to the town camp, Chen Kai sat in the north camp in the city, and Lian Chengbi lived directly in the back house of the county government.

When he returned to the bedroom at the earliest, Lian Chengbi couldn't help laughing at what had just happened. I heard that Chen Kai had a lot of tricks, but I didn't expect it to be so much. However, with this move, even if the gentry and wealthy families of Xinhui were tied to a jump rope with the Ming army, even if they were just afraid of being retaliated against by the Qing army, they had to show some strength to support the Ming army.

If you think about it carefully, the method of voting is still a secret ballot, which is really dark enough. But there is also one thing that makes him unhappy, that is, he still has to cooperate with Chen Kai, but there is no way, it is all to blame Li Dingguo's political IQ is too low and his reaction is too slow, even Jin Weixin and Gong Ming's staff are not qualified, if it weren't for the fact that those Xinhui gentry would jump out and sing the opposite, and attract everyone to echo it, it would be difficult to continue, where to use him to help.

"At the celebration banquet, he showed everyone human meat and bacon, and he could figure it out!"

It's a bit out of place to say this during a meal. Of course, maybe it's too timely. Lian Chengbi thought about it, and the piece of bacon that originated from Lu Ao, a member of the Xinhui Society, resurfaced in his mind. Immediately afterwards, there was another round of tumbling in the stomach, and Lian Chengbi hurriedly recruited the scholar, and then plunged into the basin held by the scholar, and vomited sour water.

Tonight, Chen Kai will inevitably become the object of repeated chatter from the gentry and wealthy households in the city and the generals and commanders of the Ming army attending the meeting. But he, after going through the waves, has long been pampered and not surprised, sitting in a sedan chair here, but he has no desire to sneeze and fight.

"I haven't put the human meat and bacon on a plate and put it in their mouths, it's interesting enough, who dares to say that Lao Tzu is not, then it's called no conscience."

Snorted lightly, Chen Kai looked unimpressed. Psychological reactions, supplemented by physiological reactions, can be remembered more deeply. As for the delicacies that have been spoiled, they are all negligible.

"Bye-bye, doughnuts, bubble tea instant noodles, hot pot rice and a large plate of chicken, take it and take it away, you're welcome."

"Bye-bye, caffeine, quit coke and stop greasy, sofa takeout and play games, don't stay up late and hurt your body."

"Come on, turn back, hot yoga sit-ups, spinning bike Pilates, soak wolfberries in a thermos cup."

"Come on, take a deep breath, run a few meters in the morning and run at night, flatbed dumbbell rowing machine, don't give up if you don't reach your goal!"

With his right hand on his left hand, he made a brisk beat, Chen Kai hummed a minor tune that did not belong to this era, the corners of his eyes turned up, and he almost wanted to roar.

………………

Back in the camp north of the city, Chen Kai inspected the prisoners, especially the commander of the Xinhui garrison who was beaten by rubble tiles and bled blood, You Yunlong, and even took a few more looks, and saw that this Qing army marshal who had followed Shang Kexi for many years was running with goosebumps all over his body.

On the second day, the Ming army auxiliaries dismantled the watchtowers and chariots for the siege, and set up an execution platform on the former battlefield north of Xinhui City, along with a simple camp that could temporarily detain the Qing army.

The announcement of the execution of the Qing army had already been publicized, and the people of Xinhui had suffered a lot during the siege of the city for more than half a year.

Chen Kai specifically mentioned in the notice that it was the sages of the county who asked Li Dingguo to execute these captured Qing soldiers, so that the people could remember this kindness of revenge, which was also a good deed.

The Qing prisoners were classified, and Chen Kai divided them into five types: domain officers, domain soldiers, green battalion officers, green battalion soldiers, and auxiliary soldiers. The auxiliaries were whipped in public, and the green battalion soldiers had to beat the boards and then send them to the mines of Changhua, Qiongzhou to work as coolies, all of which were carried out in the camp north of the city, and this was used to dispose of the first three.

By the time of the execution, there were already a sea of people in Zuojin, with more than 20,000 or 30,000 people. For more than half a year of besieging the city, the people of a city, which family did not starve to death, which family had no wife and daughter and was taken into the women's camp for adultery, and these Qing troops can be said to have a common enmity. Seeing that the Qing army was escorted to the stage, it was a group of people who were angry, if it were not for the Ming army guarding the execution platform to ensure the execution of the execution, I was afraid that those violent people would personally go up and eat them alive.

The first batch to come to power was the captured feudal soldiers, the Qing army guarded Xinhui, and the generals of the Pingnan Domain, Yunlong and Wu Jingong, the general of the general army, added together there were more than 3,000 people. The siege battle lasted for several months, and there were many casualties, Chen Kai broke the city, and killed a lot in the street battle, even those who jumped into the alleys and wanted to hide but were killed by the local people, and now there are only about 300 people left, and everyone is still injured.

came to power, and his own small officials counted the evils done by the feudal soldiers. The crime was announced, the punishment decision was announced, and each batch of 100 feudal soldiers was pressed to the guillotine, and then the executioner raised his knife and rolled his head directly off the execution table.

cut four waves before and after, Chen Kai asked for efficiency, and the executioners didn't pay too much attention to it, so they only cut things. In the second group, the officers of the Green Battalion were the same as publicizing the crime, the same as announcing the punishment decision, and the same beheading to show the public, but the crimes of the Green Battalion were less than those of the feudal soldiers, and the only thing that was more was that the feudal soldiers did evil, and they could not dissuade them and acted for the tiger, so they had to be executed together.

This time, it only took one round to finish. Next, after passing over the feudal officers who were about to be executed by Ling Chi, they went directly to the main dish - the general of the domain, Yunlong, as the commander of the defenders, was naturally the culprit. The Ming army tied him to the execution rack, and had already put a horse-like object on his mouth, so that his upper and lower jaws could not be closed, and he could only watch the county executioner who had died of hunger strike in order to save food, and sharpened the knife on the case viciously.

“…… The rebel thief Yunlong resisted the king's master, stubbornly persevered, brutalized the people, and even instructed his soldiers to kill the people, and take human flesh to make bacon to feed the army, which is really a great crime......"

The little official got off the execution platform, and the executioner bowed to the people in the audience, and then picked a sharp knife, and went up and cut You Yunlong's left ear with a single knife, only to make him scream in pain, but he couldn't move. The audience was already applauding, and some people were even clamoring to spend money to buy the meat on You Yunlong's body.

However, the executioner turned a deaf ear to this, and cut the ear into several pieces in public, and casually shoved one of the pieces into Yuyunlong's mouth. At this moment, seeing this scene, there was already silence in the audience, and the executioner shouted loudly: "Chen Fujun has an order, since the traitor You Yunlong likes to eat human flesh, then every piece of meat cut from him this time will be fed to himself, so that he can eat enough!" ”

As he spoke, the executioner picked up a short stick and inserted it directly into You Yunlong's mouth, and together with the two front teeth, he forced the ear to his throat......
