"The total number of officials arrested and detained in the case is 1,078, ranging from ordinary tax collectors and business associates to captains of anti-smuggling ships and tax collectors, and prefects and directors of firms in Mangara. It's the people within our system. ”

"There are 48 families related to this case, including Tusi, Tuguan, Tuwang, and Sultan, involving a population of nearly 200,000 people, including the elderly, weak, women and children."

"Please make it public, how should these people be dealt with, whether to kill or stay?" The three of them, holding the inventory of numbers from various prisons and temporary detention centers, stood nervously in front of Shouhan and listened to orders.

"More than 200,000 people?! And the old and weak women and children who are not counted? ”

Hearing this number, Shouhan was really taken aback. Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, this huge number was still beyond his expectations.

"Yes, there are mainly more Sumatran sultans and Banten people in the Manraka region, and most of the rest are small local officials, with only a few hundred people under their command. According to your wishes, my subordinates ordered to go to Feng Yixia, where Manraka was on an errand, to mobilize men and horses to carry out a thorough cleanup of this area, and all people who were not of my race were detained. ”

This big problem was placed in front of Shouhan. His subordinates implemented his instructions to the letter, and it cannot be said that there was anything wrong, and he did say that he would use the opportunity of this purge to provide more labor for the next step of industrial development and capital construction, but it can't be like this?! One guy brought in all the inhabitants of a sultan?!

"We found nearly twenty cannons in the arsenals of the Sultan of Sumatra and the Sultan of Malaya, according to them. More than two dozen guns have already been sold to the Spaniards and the Dutch. It's something they're going to keep for themselves. ”

200,000 Ding Zhuang plus the old and weak women and children, almost a million people, such a large amount of labor wealth, indeed made Shouhan salivate.

He habitually gritted his teeth, the three spy leaders and Li Peilin all knew his tiny action very well, and every time he wanted to make up his mind, he would inadvertently make this action.

"Herald! These people, in groups of 100 people, were transported to the south, central and inland areas, where they were engaged in road construction, logging, mining, ash burning, shipbuilding, etc., except for food. Do not enjoy the normal treatment of officials and slaves! ”

They do not enjoy the normal treatment of officials and slaves. In other words, not only did he not work for five years to restore his status as a civilian, but he did not even receive the already small monthly salary.

"Recruit from among the Japanese laborers and act as the leaders of each team! Teams distribute the workload. It can be done. and done ahead of schedule. Bosses have rewards! You can choose to get a material reward or naturalization! The amount of material rewards you should do, so that the Japanese people feel that it is very worthwhile! ”

Shouhan's understatement made the 200,000 indigenous Ding Zhuang actually sentenced to death! The Japanese were insidious and greedy in nature. Knowing that you can drive these native officials and slaves like livestock to seek material benefits and naturalization opportunities for themselves, how can you not torture these people with all your strength?!

"After they go north to Nanzhong, the remaining land, mountains, rivers, and forests will be accepted by those who are transferred from Nanzhong!"

By cracking down on smuggling and cleaning up internal relations, Shouhan uprooted the sultans who could threaten the golden waterway of Manraka at any time, which flowed day and night with gold, silver, and precious stones.

In addition to smuggling and stealing national wealth, there is one more crime, secretly possessing artillery and preparing to rebel.

"Back then their ancestors spread religion with fire and sword, so well! When you come out to mix, you always have to pay it back. Let me rain fire and sword on their heads today! ”

"This is left as a ban, and in the future, if anyone who believes in a religion other than Buddhism commits a crime or rebellion and is caught by our army, his wife and daughter will enjoy this treatment!"

"Isn't it time to start processing and refining the fierce fire oil from Burma? Now with this nearly a million people to spend ......"

Such a terrible thought suddenly popped into Shouhan's mind.

He was immediately forcibly expelled from his mind, and began to discuss with several adults in the official room how to deal with the more than 1,000 people involved in the case within the South Central Army.

Your own knife can't cut your own flesh. When dealing with the Manraka natives, he was a little hesitant. In addition to a little incense, it is more about the intricate kinship, fellow villagers, and clans of these people.

This is also based on Shouhan's dedication to fighting and disintegrating the clan forces for many years!

"If these people break the law, they should be punished accordingly!"

This is the bottom line of guarding the Han, and it is also the line of fire that everyone in the official room cannot touch. Once you cross this line, then the three spy chiefs who are watching from the sidelines will pounce on you and carefully check what relationship you have with these prisoners, whether you have accepted bribes, and so on.

However, the strength of the entire official and administrative system is also something that cannot be countered by the Shouhan alone.

After several games, the two sides reached a tacit understanding.

"Only the person who is responsible for the crime, if the wife and children are not involved in the case, the wife and children shall not be held responsible! Retain the property purchased from the legal income of the person's salary. ”

Under the legal system of one person breaking the law and connecting the three, nine or even ten tribes, the practice of Shouhan has been regarded as the grace of heaven and earth. When the news reached the prison, countless officials detained here were relieved and knelt down and kowtowed to the outside of the prison.

Hearing the news, the two brothers Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaobiao, as well as the two sons and nephews of the Zhang family who served in the sailor and the land camp, Dagou and Ergou, also let out a long breath, no matter what, the lives and property status of the people in the family were preserved.

The next thing is to think about how to fight to save Zhang Xiaoqi's life.

However, after a few days of running, Zhang Xiaohu was very sad to find that although Zhang Xiaoqi had the first accusation, voluntary surrender, exposure and other circumstances, but because his charges and facts were too serious, there was little hope of saving his life.

"Just five million in corruption and bribery, fees charged. That's enough to die dozens of times! A public secretary who was very close to Li Peilin conveyed such a message to Zhang Xiaohu.

This time, it was like splitting the eight-petal top yang bone and pouring ice water on the head.

Hearing such a result, Zhang Xiaoqi, who was in prison, was quite calm, "It's okay, this is also a result, so as not to worry about Lao Tzu all day long." ”

Although the words were very arrogant, Zhang Xiaohu could clearly see that there was a faint light flashing in the third brother's eyes.

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, when the farmers began to prepare to kill the New Year's pigs. It's another series of things that make the already lively year. It becomes even more dazzling.

The Han guards selected a few hundred articulate men from the army that went north, and selected many more from the refugees rescued twice, and after some training of them, a dozen people were formed into a team. Spread the news of this trip to the north in various villages and towns.

"Young and old. You live in the South. Under the rule of the general, there was abundant food and clothing, and the peaceful years were not like being in the mainland. Natural and man-made disasters are continuous, and military disasters and banditry are spreading. Not to mention the Tartar rebellion outside the gates, the officials keep sending more factions! We were just taken away by the Tartars, and then God and our ancestors appeared and let us be saved by the general! ”

Facing the villagers gathered around him, the rescued refugees talked eloquently, comparing the scene in the interior with Nanzhong, and comparing their own experiences with the happy life of the villagers.

The soldiers and officers who went north, after describing what they had seen and heard, focused on the Liangguang region.

"Many of you are from Liangguang, don't hide it from everyone, and I also came from Panyu in the next place. There is now a lot of banditry going on there, and it's full of robbers. However, for now, the general understands that everyone cares about Sangzi, and is worried about the ancestral tomb in his hometown, so he specially asked Emperor Laozi for this messenger to deal with the bandits in Liangguang. Wait until the beginning of spring next year, and the general will take us north to suppress the bandits! Let the hometown parents have a peaceful birthday from now on! ”

"Only when the place under the general's control is larger and the population under his control is larger, can everyone's relatives and friends live a good life. Only the grain grown by everyone, the cloth that is woven, the oil that is squeezed, and the iron tools that are made have a place to sell! ”

The well-designed rhetoric cleverly linked the return of the bandits to the north to a quiet and peaceful world in Liangguang and the search for a market for the agricultural and industrial products produced in Nanzhong, outlining a beautiful prospect for everyone. After more than 10 years of training, the people of Nanzhong have also benefited from a steady stream of foreign trade, not to mention other things, looking at the full set of iron and steel farm tools purchased with industrial vouchers, which is something that they would never dare to think of when they were in their hometown.

What's more, wealth does not return to their hometown, such as a night walk in clothes. This concept has long been imprinted into the bone marrow and passed down from generation to generation. Now that the general has this messenger, with the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army in the south, it is only a matter of three or two years to sweep away the two Guangzhous, thinking that at that time he can justifiably go back to his hometown to show off, many people who secretly ran out back then couldn't stop smiling on their dark faces.

"However, there are also people who want to have a good time with the big guys!"

The officers of the propaganda team were filled with indignation and told the story of the collusion between the officials and the Sultan, which immediately aroused public indignation.

"This is to secretly put everyone's money into their own pockets! Ladies and gentlemen, please think about it, is the General's Mansion buying grain real money for everyone? And those industrial vouchers that you can buy at any time? Whether it's the money or the things bought with industrial vouchers, which one doesn't ask for money? This group of moths is doing this, is there still money in the treasury to buy everyone's grain and oil? Can you still sell ironware cheaply? Can you still buy those cloth salts?! If this goes on for a long time, won't this group of guys make everyone's good life the same as that of the mainland?! ”

Once something is combined with everyone's interests, then the power it brings will be infinite, and almost all the peasants in China will fight for it. In villages everywhere, often when the propaganda team talks about this, some people will shout and scold, "This group of dog officials! Forget Ben! Forget the painstaking teachings of the general to them! ”

The very good combination of this internal clean-up and mobilization of the masses made the officials of the General's Mansion headed by Li Peilin amazed, but Shouhan snickered in his heart, what is this, our grandfathers were engaged in organizing the masses and mobilizing the masses back then, which is called ability!

Then, according to the size of the villages, nearly 1,000 villages in Hue, Ha Tinh, Hoi An and other places were mobilized. Five representatives from each village came to Hue to watch the execution.

On the day of the execution, almost the entire city of Hue was dispatched, and hundreds of people stood on the side of the road, armed with rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs, and other weapons of mass destruction, ready to greet this group of officials who had lost their conscience.

"The sailor division is stationed in Manraka to arrest smuggling fleet, and the captain Lei Sanqi is guilty of bending the law for personal gain, embezzlement and bribery, and beheading!"

"What is the head of the Taipingdong Arsenal. Guilty of stealing and selling artillery. Chop! ”

"Ding Tianhuai, a tax officer at the customs, is guilty of corruption and bribery, favoritism and malpractice, and beheaded!" ……

A series of chopping words were thrown down with the sign that the prison officer had ticked his name with cinnabar. Every chop was accompanied by a tsunami-like cheer and applause.

More than 300 officials who were found out in this shocking case covered everything from sailors to customs and Han Yuan firms. Almost all aspects of the South China Army have been involved. It has formed a black industrial chain from arsenals to maritime anti-smuggling to customs.

"Sultan of Sumatra, Madzali Daoud. Yu Supu, guilty of co-opting and corrupting officials. Smuggling and selling firearms, secretly possessing artillery, disrupting finance, and beheading! ”

The sultan was the first to enjoy the treatment of being washed and bathed with eggs, and it was not the excited representatives of the masses who threw him first, but the families of the beheaded officials.

"You dog thief! If it weren't for your greed, how could my child and his father be stabbed like this?! You pay back my husband! ”

"Thief Bird! My brother and I honestly work under the general, and we have a job to support our family, if you don't want to buy artillery, how can my brother steal and sell artillery?! ”

For a time, the crowd was furious, and many family members of the prisoners vented their hatred and anger on the heads of the Sultan and the people of Kapitan.

"The Lord remembers that you are all in the same line of China. I gave you so many benefits, and you didn't want to repay them, but you dug into the corners of the lord's walls and killed so many people! ”

Rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves swept away towards the Sultan and Kapitan like a raging storm, causing the soldiers and inspectors of the South Central Army who were on duty beside them to suffer from the pond fish, and they suffered a lot of eggs and vegetable leaves on their heads.

The Sultan, who was stripped naked, lost the foil of his crown and the golden silk robe, and completely lost the so-called kingly spirit, and his mouth whimpered, not knowing what he was talking about. The two executioners stepped forward and dragged him from the wooden post of the prisoner's cart to the execution table, covered him with fishing nets, and carefully tied him with thin rope. Use a knife to remove the exposed meat piece by piece. Each piece is cut off, and the meat is thrown in the air with a flick of the hand.

And Xu Meizhen and other Kapitans were also tied to the Sultan's side, as representatives of eating inside and out, they were shouted as traitors, and they kept beating them with stones, eggs, and half-eaten bones. They also enjoyed the treatment of fish scales.

"I have long heard that the torture chamber of the Law Enforcement Department is highly skilled, and when I saw it today, it is really incomparable, and I should let my group of unsuccessful people study it well."

"Where the words! Brother Mu, your business investigation room has always been a confession that makes the prisoner's heart collapse without moving. At this point, Niu has always admired the tightness! ”

"That's it!"

Mu Yagou, Bao Zhongchen, and Niu Qiandao, the heads of the three law enforcement and intelligence departments of the General Inspection Office and the Statistics Office, which were adapted from the Commercial Investigation Office, the Law Enforcement Department, chose a position with the best line of sight in the prison and beheading officials, and watched the executioners turn people into a flesh-and-blood object one by one.

The three guys ordered their men in charge of interrogation and punishment to observe and study, so as not to be temporarily blinded when needed in the future!

After dozens of executioners finished cutting the number of knives on the Sultan and Kapitan's bodies today, they came down from the execution table with red eyes and shouted hoarsely to their colleagues, "Water! Give Lao Tzu water! ”

These people were drinking in the back like a long whale sucking a hundred rivers, and over there, another group of people escorted the prisoners to come. Seeing these people coming, the crowd couldn't help but burst into a burst of crying.

That's right, these people are all prisoners of the South Central Army.

"The oldest of these people served under me when they were in the garrison mansion, and they worked hard without merit. Although there is no room for forgiveness in the law for the sins committed, there is something tolerable in the circumstances. He was beheaded without stripping his clothes, and his family was allowed to collect the body. The first level is not shown to the public,"

As a result, the officials, including those who were beheaded, were grateful.

Beheading, hanging the head in public, this is the greatest humiliation to people.

And Shou Han Nian is different from Jia Bi Dan in these people, after all, he has fought with himself, so he is open.

In the crowd, family members kept waving to their loved ones and saying their final goodbyes.

After verifying the identity, the recruit was removed, and the officer who led the team led the soldiers to bring a bowl of wine to everyone.

"The lord said, what you have done, the law does not allow you to wait, but you are all his subordinates, it is reasonable to give you a ride, this is a brewed liquor, after you drink it, I will send you on your way. The lord has already ordered someone to arrange a water and land dojo in the Tianlong Temple to overtake you. ”

A bowl of liquor was poured down under the service of the soldiers.

The executioners swung their shiny steel knives.

Dozens of heads were severed, and blood gushed upwards from the chest. The entire execution table was instantly dyed red.

This scene has been remembered by countless people in their hearts, and they dare not forget it for the rest of their lives.

"Wow!" A howl rang out from the crowd. It was the family of the convict who didn't know which family.

Among those who were beheaded, there was no Zhang Xiaoqi.

Zhang Xiaoqi was not sentenced to beheading because of his meritorious work in making the first report. The night before, he was given a cup of peacock gall and died of poison. (To be continued......)
