Scorched earth, ruins, stumps, corpses.

Gunpowder smoke and dust still hung over the city of Hangzhou, the weather was desperately gloomy, and the wind blew the military flag to weep in a low voice, as if to indict the perpetrators of this endless disaster and suffering. Several extinguished fireworks, stimulated by the wind, stared at a little bit of scarlet eyes, like haunting clowns trying to rekindle.

Wang Yu rode a horse and walked on the streets of Hangzhou and couldn't help but sigh, saying that there is heaven above, and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below, who would have thought that Hangzhou, which is beautiful, prosperous and rich, has now become a bloody hell, how many people's lives were ruthlessly harvested in today's war, and how many people will be in the wilderness. In less than a year, the city of Hangzhou was baptized by the fire of war twice, the first time the officials killed by the rebels were bloody, and the second time the officers and soldiers killed the corpses of the rebels were ambushed everywhere.

The old grave has not been dried and a new grave has been added, killing and killing for that? Ants are still stealing life, who wants to die if they can live!

Poor and uncertain riverside bones, like a person in a spring boudoir dream.

The splendid stones triggered two bloody massacres, Your Majesty, if you come to see this scene, will you still be interested in admiring the strange stones?

Wang Yu saw an eleven or twelve-year-old boy crying with his dead father in his arms, he dismounted and walked over and asked, "Young man, do you still have relatives?" ”

The boy turned his head and scolded with red eyes, "Get out!" It's you dog officers and soldiers who killed the master's father, and when the master grows up, he will definitely kill you! ”

With a snap, the horsewhip fell on the young man, and Wang Yu's bodyguard Zhang Chengfei angrily reprimanded: "Bold little thief, dare to speak so wildly!" ”

Wang Yu hurriedly signaled to stop, but the young man was even angrier, he got up and shouted, "The master is fighting with you!" After speaking, he pounced on Wang Yu.

The young man was picked up by Zhang Chengfei with one hand, and Zhang Chengfei said: "Commander, this kid has a strong temperament, and it is also a disaster to keep him, kill him to prevent future troubles!" ”

Wang Yu said: "No! Are you ashamed to kill a defenseless child? You take a few people to find a coffin to bury the child's father, and by the way, take the child to let him recognize his father's cemetery, and when you are done, bring the child, I happen to lack a horse boy. ”

After Zhang Chengfei reluctantly took the order to leave, the sergeant came again to report that there were about 3,000 thieves who had been captured or surrendered, and they were now escorted to the front of the palace yamen.

I saw a large number of people kneeling in front of the yamen, and the deputy general Yang Zhen stepped forward and said: "Lord Wang, although Fang La abandoned the city and fled, it was also a great achievement that his wings Chen Hoop Bucket, Zhu Yan, Wu Bang, Huo Chengfu and others were captured. What do you want to do with these thieves?"

Wang Yu heard what Yang Zhen said, so he asked, "What should we do with General Yang's opinion?" ”

Yang Zhen said in a low voice: "From the point of view of the last general, it is also a burden to keep so many thieves and have to take care of them, so it is better to kill them." ”

Wang Yu was surprised: "More than 3,000 people have been killed? ”

Yang Zhen said: "They are all heinous thieves, they have killed many captured officials in the city of Hangzhou, beheading and boiling oil, arrows and fire, the means are very cruel, now is the time for them to repay their debts, why should you be benevolent to thieves!" ”

Wang Yu said: "Your Majesty has issued an edict against himself, saying that the disaster is causing Huashigang, Zhu Mian's father and son are the culprits, and the people's uprising is also a last resort. Now that killing so many unarmed people is not in line with His Majesty's will, and he will be punished by heaven for his own misery, General Yang should have the virtue of a good life! ”

Yang Zhen said in a low voice: "My lord, these people must not let go, and there is a reason for this." At the time of leaving, Taishi Cai once entrusted Tong Shumi, and on the day of the destruction of Hangzhou, he killed thousands of thieves to avenge his father and ancestors. The thief once dug the grave of his father and ancestors, exposing the bones, this deep hatred and hatred are not revenged, how can the Taishi be at ease! "16 Reading

Wang Yu was angry when he heard this, and used Cai Jing to pressure me, thinking that if he climbed Cai Jing, he would be lawless, and 10,000 lives would be ······ Damn, it's a shame that he still said it.

He showed too much disgust for Yang Zhen, and said coldly: "Your Majesty is humble and cares about the people of Li, and has issued an edict to apologize to the people, how can we disobey the holy will and kill in vain." Wang Yu only has the Great Song Dynasty court in his heart, only His Majesty, and will not do the life of deceiving the monarch and befriending the powerful with his life. General Yang, don't kill innocents indiscriminately, and prevent the birth of a son without an ass eye! ”

Yang Zhen said again: "Your Excellency, ······"

Wang Yu didn't wait for him to say anything, and said: "Pass on my order, except for Chen Hoop and other thieves to be detained, all the rest will be released." Your Majesty has already said that as long as you give up resistance, you will pardon them all for their innocence, and let them preach Your Majesty's benevolence and righteousness in Jiangnan, and then more people will lay down their weapons and surrender. ”

Seeing that Yang Zhen was still standing still, Wang Yu added: "Whoever dares to cheat in this matter, I will behead him by disobeying the military order!" ”

"The last general obeys!"

Seeing Yang Zhen helplessly turn around and leave, the figure of Song Jiang in Wang Yu's mind became clearer and clearer, his prophecy is really God, I really came to Jiangnan to quell the rebellion. Today's more than 3,000 lives were saved by Song Jiang, not by my king.

Taiyuan, will I really go to Taiyuan to garrison? Will I really fight alongside him against the Foreigners?

Looking at the sky, he felt that Song Jiang was even more mysterious, and admired the group of Liangshanbo warriors he led even more.

In the middle of the night, everything is silent, and everything in the capital is asleep.

In the post house, Uncle Zhang had no sleep at night, he sorted out his thoughts under the candlelight, and looked through the diary he wrote a few days ago. It was a free conversation between Liang Shanbo and Song Jiang, and it was also a conversation that shocked him.

That day, Song Jiang said that he and I have a red heart for the country and the people, but the form of expression is different, I am worried about the country and the people in the temple, and he is also worried about the country and the people in the far away rivers and lakes.

When Song Jiang said this, I laughed, a kind of shameful laugh. I really can't figure it out, why should a robber head whitewash himself, how many things he has done to kill officials and seize cities, and he is not ashamed to worry about the country and the people. So I sternly pointed out his hypocrisy, the Great Song Dynasty has been tormented by him with a group of demon lords, which has caused the Great Song Dynasty's century-old national fortunes to plummet. Even if there is a grievance, it should be handled by the official through normal channels, and how can it be regarded as serving the country and the people by using this method of gathering people in the mountains and forests, robbing homes and houses, and arbitrarily executing officials of the imperial court to vent their personal anger. At the end, I said earnestly, stop it as soon as possible, Song Gongming! Now taking the initiative to submit to the imperial court is an initiative for the benefit of the country and the people!

Song Jiang also laughed strangely, and made me laugh at the time, and it was only now that I realized that he was laughing at me, laughing at me for being shallow, and laughing at me for being pedantic. He smiled and said that if the prosecutor could be wronged, would the Great Song Dynasty still have so many unjust prisons? Officials protect each other, and they are all safeguarding the interests of the powerful, and the Great Song Dynasty is rotten from the inside out. When ordinary people encounter oppression and exploitation, they can't endure or hide, do they dare to sue?

Lin Chong, as the head of the forbidden army, was actually framed by the captain of the forbidden army and his godson, and became homeless and countryless, and came to Liangshanbo to avoid trouble, where is he going to sue? Chai Jin has a Danshu iron coupon, and a splash with no official position can put him in prison, why is Yin Tianxi so arrogant? It's not that he has a brother-in-law who sits in the prefect's seat.

Not to mention it far away, let's just say that the recent uprising in the south of the Yangtze River caused a disaster in Huashigang, and the perpetrator was actually the son of a businessman. Zhu Mian endangered Jiangnan, didn't the imperial court know? Definitely! On the contrary, the court seems to be acquiescing in his approach, because the officials want to take advantage of him. And Huizong also let it go and indulged infinitely. It is precisely because of the strong support of the court that there is today's disaster of Fangla. Imagine that the officials have nowhere to complain, what do you let the powerless people take to sue the officials?

I am speechless for what Song Jiang said, this is a fact. I don't want to defend these moths, so I think about it and then come up with reasons to persuade Song Jiang to recruit peace. Who knew that Song Jiang also said that the Great Song Dynasty was tossed by this kind of bureaucracy, and they had to bear the consequences for their own crimes.

After talking for a long time, almost all of them were Song Jiang who said that I listened, and I was powerless to refute them. However, Song Jiang finally said that Liang Shanbo would definitely be recruited by the imperial court, but recruiting an army is not a simple submission, it requires a certain way, as for what kind of way, when the negotiation ambassador Feng Luyuan will give it to the imperial court. As long as the imperial court was sincere, Liang Shanbo would definitely be reassured and promised to cancel all military operations between negotiations.

Constantly looking through the diary and thinking of the current negotiation situation, Uncle Zhang couldn't help but feel melancholy in his heart. In this way, Liang Shanbo is indeed calm, but what can he do?
