Chapter 1214: Coming to Yongning
More than 20,000 people, this number is not small at all, and when all these people surrendered, how to settle them has become a problem, naturally it is impossible to put them back like this, even if Zhang Fan wrote the pardon, and neither Liu Xian nor Zhang Fan himself will violate this article, but even if these people are not worried about their lives, it is impossible to put them back like this.
Of course, why, these people themselves don't know the reason, in their opinion, this is also a matter of course, after all, they have just surrendered now, and the Ming army will not do that, they will inevitably be detained for a period of time before making plans, after all, no matter what, these people did follow those two people to rebel, even if none of them killed, but the fact that they rebelled is impossible to change, in their opinion, it is naturally a good thing that they can avoid death, but the death penalty can be avoidedIn other words, they had anticipated that a series of punishments would follow.
And Zhang Fan and Liu Xian understand that although it is necessary to detain them, it is not the main reason, the most important thing is that this matter can only be considered to be over until the court deals with the formal court discussion of these people, or the holy decree, however, although the things that the two parties think are a little wrong, but the final result is the same, so now both sides do not say anything about the current matter.
Now, the 20,000 people have been watched by the 40,000 army under Liu Xian, and even if there is no intention of the imperial court now, Zhang Fan and Liu Xian have already thought about what to let them do, although they said that they did this, and they did not mean to go through the imperial court, and some of them were cut first and then played, but whether it was Zhang Fan or Liu Xian, and even Feng Bao, who participated in the discussion, felt that it was beneficial to do so, and it would make it easier for the people in the court to exempt these people from the death penalty that they should not have in the first place.
And the remaining 10,000 people followed Zhang Fan and Liu Xian into the Yongning Mansion together, even if those people were very confident, confident that they themselves did not destroy the conditions stipulated by Zhang Fan, but this still made him a little uneasy for Zhang Fan, so he hurriedly wanted to go into the city to see what was going on.
Of course, there are also the leaders of several big clans among those people, but speaking of which, it is not necessary for them to come with them now, but Zhang Fan insisted on this, he expected it, and felt that in Yongning Mansion, these people would still need to be used.
In this regard, Liu Xian was a little puzzled, he couldn't understand why Zhang Fan did this, but he didn't ask too much, besides, this is not a troublesome thing in itself.
It's Feng Bao, who has been friends with Zhang Fan for a long time, has already guessed what Zhang Fan meant, and after guessing it, Feng Bao also wanted to laugh, Zhang Fan wanted to use these people's purpose, how could he not know, it's just that Liu Xian didn't care about that matter, Zhang Fan didn't need it, and he Feng Bao didn't need it, but not all people like them in the world were like them, or it could be said the other way around, they were outliers.
When Liu Xian and the others came to Yongning Mansion, they could see that the gate of Yongning Mansion was already open, and a few people wearing official uniforms were standing at the gate of the city, obviously greeting them.
And for the greeting of these people, whether it is Zhang Fan or Liu Xian, they also want to laugh in their hearts.
At the beginning, Daniel Zhang and Wang Xin, with more than 20,000 people rebelled, the first and only city to take, is this Yongning Mansion, moreover, they still did not spend a single soldier, without a single sword, without a single sword, they successfully took this Yongning Mansion, it sounds, it may make people think that the people in Yongning Mansion are because of these rebels, there are many people and their strength is huge, so in order to take care of the people, they made a helpless move in desperation.
However, this kind of thing, no matter if it is changed to any person in the officialdom, it is absolutely impossible to believe it, after all, these officials, when they encounter this kind of thing, the first thing that comes to mind is how to save their lives, and once Kaesong surrenders and allows the rebels to enter the city, the lives of those who are officials will bear the brunt of the danger.
Therefore, Zhang Fan couldn't believe that possibility, and the most likely thing is that these people had already received the news that those two people planned to rebel with more than 20,000 people, not that the two of them colluded, but at the very least, this kind of non-resistance to save their lives will definitely not be less.
As for why these people got the news before but didn't run away, I'm afraid the reason is that people's greed is really endless, these people want to save their lives, but at the same time, they don't want to lose their officials, and they want to make a windfall by while maintaining their official positions.
Even if these rebels fail in the future, even if they are inquired by the imperial court, they can excuse themselves by saying that the incident happened too suddenly, and there is no way but to open the city and surrender in order to protect the people in the city.
Although this sounds really shameless and shameless, it is undoubtedly the way these people think, and there is nothing wrong with this kind of thinking, and in most cases, things will indeed develop like this.
It's just that this time the matter is more special, I'm afraid that in the eyes of these people, this matter will inevitably end with the defeat of 20,000 people, but in any case, it will take a few fights, so that their plan is more likely to be realized.
But now, they never imagined that this matter would end so quickly, so suddenly, and so peacefully, yes, peace, since the death of those two people, it has only been five or six days, and the whole thing is over, and not a drop of blood has flowed, not a trace of gunpowder smoke has not spread, and no fire has ever ignited, which is absolutely beyond their expectations.
And they are not stupid, after this surprise has passed, they immediately realize that this situation, for them, is a danger, a mortal danger, but at this time, even if it is more dangerous, even if the knife is already on their necks, they have no way out, they have been trapped in this city.
Yes, Yongning Mansion is indeed not small, not that it is a prefecture with so many counties and towns under its jurisdiction, just such a city as Yongning Mansion is not small, it can live more than 10,000 people, and even if more than 20,000 people come, more than 30,000 people are all in this city, it is not too small at all, but for them, this place has now become a huge prison, trapping them inside, waiting for the fate of being arraigned.
So in order to resist, they can only work hard to curry favor with the victors of this war, that is, Liu Xian and Zhang Fan, of course, they don't know now that Liu Xian is not the person who presides over this matter, but Zhang Fan, so when they knew that those people were going to go out of the city to surrender, they had already gathered together to discuss how to curry favor with Liu Xian.
It's just that whether they know that the host of this matter is Liu Xian or Zhang Fan, it's all the same, because whether it is Liu Xian or Zhang Fan, it is impossible for them to have a good face.
And the difference between this, that is, Liu Xian may go straight to them, without knowing how to cover it up, peeling off all their hypocritical appearances and showing no mercy, while Zhang Fan will be much more tactful and slowly let them show their flaws, but I am afraid that Zhang Fan's method will make them more dead and have no place to bury, but in the end, no matter who it is, it is all the same ending, only this point has not changed.
Of course, they don't know this yet.
Coming to the front of these people, Liu Xian and they stopped, Liu Xian only brought 10,000 people over, but it was more than enough to deal with here, now, there are 9,000 people stationed outside the city, and there are about 1,000 people who really follow Liu Xian into the city, the main thing for these people is to maintain the chaos that may occur in Yongning Mansion today, after all, this place has just been liberated from the state of being occupied, and it is really uncertain what will happen.
"General," a few people didn't wait for Liu Xian to get off the horse, they hurriedly saluted.
"It's too late, let you all suffer," Liu Xian looked smiling, saying such apologies, he had already discussed with Zhang Fan before, these people who were clearly problematic were all handed over to Zhang Fan to deal with, and he only needed to contribute at the right time, so now, Liu Xian didn't want to glare at them angrily, but with a smile.
Although this is a refutation of Liu Xian's previous style of acting, but this is also a situation that he has never experienced before, and it is also a very good experience to come here occasionally, besides, although he is angry with these people, Liu Xian also knows that it is impossible to scold them angrily as soon as he comes, not only will this not make them down, but it will also ruin his mood, in this case, why not laugh and talk.
"Where is the general," the only one in the scarlet official uniform hurriedly said, "The general is really happy to be here, and the officials and the others are really happy,"
This is the prefect of this Yongning Mansion, although I don't know what his name is, but Zhang Fan understands that he is probably the one who needs to deal with the most, thinking of this, Zhang Fan couldn't help but smile,
