"'Eleven...... Smash Kill'? What is that? ”

Sounds scary?

"Ten people in a team, draw lots - whoever wins the lottery will pull them out and beat them to death on the spot!"

"Huh?!"

……

"Don't listen to Lao Hu's nonsense, Xuan Jun's execution, how can there be such a thing as 'beating to death with a stick'? Xuanjun marching law, there are only two kinds of capital punishment: either eat a gun, or go to the gallows - that is, hanging, even beheading the capital is abolished, and 'beating to death with sticks'? 'Eleven Killing', as far as I know, it should be on the gallows......"

"You're just talking nonsense! Shot and hanged, that was the punishment of Xuan Jun's own people who committed military law! Is the Shenji Battalion the Xuan Army? If you don't understand, you'll be timid! ”

"Lao Hu, this time, I'm on Lao Huang's side - 'Eleven Killing Law', it's a gallows! Here, there is another note: at the time of execution, the drummer beats the drum, and as soon as the drum stops, the executioner pulls out the trap, and the unlucky egg on the gallows immediately hangs in the air! ”

"Ouch, and the drummers? That scene...... Tut-tut, the one on the gallows, it's the one who is watching the excitement next to him, and his heart is about to jump out! ”

"Hey, I don't understand you! It's all said, hanging-that has to be Xuan Jun's own person to have this qualification! ”

……

Anyway, whether it is "beating to death with sticks", "eating guns", "going to the gallows", or "eleven killings" - one out of ten people is taken out and executed, this is not controversial. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

These rumors, like I have grown legs and feet, but in a little more than a day, they spread all over the entire Sijiu City, making people panic up and down.

Among the personnel of the Shenji Battalion, there was a huge panic in particular.

Many people have noticed that no matter what kind of rumors, "arrows rained down", "iron cavalry charged", "cannon bombardment", "catch the duel", "Russian roulette", "eleven smash law", ...... They all have one thing in common, that is, they must first gather together the "divine missions" scattered all over Beijing.

This, with the edict of the Shenji Battalion gathered in the Wangfujing University Campus, is simply a perfect fit.

Later, the rumors became more and more noses and eyes.

Some people said that they saw with their own eyes that the Xuan army pulled one cannon after another into the city and placed it around the Wangfujing school field, and the muzzles of the guns were all aimed at the school field......

"You're mistaken, aren't you?" 'Napoleonic cannon' is 'Napoleon cannon', 'Krupp cannon' is 'Krupp cannon', what's the matter with 'red cannon'? The Xuan army has long since used the 'red-coated cannon'! ”

"You're smart! Don't I know that Xuan Jun Xuan Jun has long since used the 'red-coated cannon'? When I say 'red-coat cannons', I mean that the cannons of this class of 'Napoleonic cannons' and 'Krupp cannons' are covered with red silk! ”

"The guns of the 'Napoleonic cannon' and the 'Krupp cannon'...... Draped in scarlet silk? - What is that for? ”

"You don't understand that, do you? Let me tell you, the knives used for execution, whether they are ghost head knives or guillotine knives, they are all to be tied to a piece of red silk......"

"Ah, I see! Ward off evil! The 'Napoleonic cannon' and 'Krupp cannon' are draped in bright red silk, and the ghost head knife and guillotine used for execution are tied to a piece of red silk, and the reason is the same - they are all to ward off evil spirits! Because, hehe, this class of 'Napoleon cannons' and 'Krupp cannons' are also used for execution! ”

"Yo, your kid's reaction is not slow! That's right, that's it! ”

……

Some people said that he saw with his own eyes that more than 100 gallows had been erected on the field of Wangfujing University, lined up in a row, and the momentum was magnificent.

"Ouch, that gloomy one, it's like going to the Yama Palace—the Yama Hall doesn't necessarily have that grandeur! Anyway, at a glance, my legs and stomach immediately turned tendons! ”

Some people also said that there are "only" 100 or so gallows, and the implementation of the "11th Killing Law" "has to come in batches", but after the execution, the corpses that were previously dissolved must be hung up again, "hanging him for a year and a half", this, "to set an example"!

****……

"There are more than 30,000 people in the Shenji camp, and the 'Eleventh Killing Law'...... At least two or three thousand people have to be killed, right? A hundred or dozens of gallows, hanging two or three thousand corpses, is it enough space? ”

"What about this place...... There is always a squeeze. ”

"Yes, it's not a hotel or something...... It's just that two or three thousand corpses, hanging densely and dangling, ouch, when I think about that situation, my scalp is numb......"

"Otherwise, how can we 'set an example'?"

"It's going to be a year and a half...... My mother-in-law, can you still smell that smell? I live next to the school field of Wangfujing University, but I have blood mold! ”

"There's no way around it."

"Alcohol Lao Qi is really evil! If he hadn't burned out his brain...... Alas! ”

……

On the date when the Shenji Battalion gathered at the Wangfujing University Campus, when the Military Aircraft Department held a meeting, Guan Zhuofan said that it was "the day after tomorrow", but when the edict was officially issued, this date was postponed by another day. In various versions of the rumor, this change has been interpreted to mean that the "Upper Heads" and the Xuan Army need more time to make the relevant arrangements - arranging troops, artillery, or gallows, etc.

One more terrifying rumor finally crushed the nerves of the "gods".

On the evening of the third day after the meeting of the Military Aircraft Department, that is, the night before the Shenji Battalion gathered at the Wangfujing University Campus, the flow of people out of the city suddenly increased—the "divine missions" rushed to escape from the city before the city gates were closed.

Originally, they were worried that although the nine gates under their eyes were still guarded by the soldiers of the Yamen under the command of the infantry army, but the "supervising army" was the Xuan army.

The "gods" soon discovered that this concern was unfounded.

There are "searches", but the defenders of the city gate, whether they are the soldiers of the infantry army commanding the yamen or the Xuan army, only enter the city, regardless of those who leave the city, even if they are large and small, and their deeds are suspicious, they will all turn a blind eye.

The next day, Wangfujing University Campus.

The court robe and gown, the top of the feather is brilliant.

Prince Xuan and below, the Minister of Military Aircraft, the University Scholars, the main and deputy officials of the Ministries, the left and right imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Zongren Mansion Zongling, Zongzheng, Zongren, the Minister of the Interior, the commanders of the Beijing camps, the general political envoys, the Dali Siqing, the Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi, the Taichang Siqing and other officials of the "Nine Divisions" above the third grade have all arrived.

In addition, there are also a number of relatives and nobles - princes, county kings, those who have messengers, those who have no envoys, as long as they are princes, and those who act will be given, they must be present; In addition, Beizi and Baylor, who were among the close relatives, were also present.

Anyway, the so-called "Eight Banners Bannerman" has all arrived.

Before, when I saw the list of people attending the edict, some people thought that it was really important to go and stay in the Shenji Battalion, but the relatives and dignitaries of the Manchu Dynasty almost went out, and this battle seemed to be still ...... A little exaggerated? When the time comes, what is the big and surprising news to be announced?

Some people think that when the time comes, it will never ...... Announce that Princess Rong'an will ascend the throne and practice Zuo, right?

Isn't it strange to announce such a thing on such an occasion?

When I arrived at the scene, I had not heard the "major and amazing" news, but I saw the "major and amazing" scene first.

It's not the legendary cannons and gallows - people look around secretly, but they don't find a trace of the cannons and gallows.

The "major and astonishing" scene was that there were less than 1,000 people in the Shenji Battalion who were present in a huge school field, and there were not as many people as the Xuanjun and the infantry army commanders who were in charge of the guard.

Moreover, most of these poor hundreds of people are from the clan and Jueluo.

That is to say, more than 30,000 personnel of the Shenji Battalion, except for the clan and Jueluo, the others are almost clean.

It's-

Alas, I don't know what to say!

Everyone noticed that on the platform, there were two old men's faces, the most ugly: one was Prince Xuan, whose face was pale; One is Wen Bochuan, whose face is pale.

Originally, it was said that Prince Xuan was going to "announce Weide" to the Shenji Battalion, but from beginning to end, Prince Xuan pursed his lips tightly and did not say a word.

It was only Wen Xiang who read out the edict: first, all kinds of lawlessness and unbearable things in the Shenji Battalion should be abolished; Second, the personnel of the Shenji Battalion will all "return to the flag".

However, after the edict was read, Wen Xiang added in a dry voice: In view of the fact that the vast majority of the personnel of the Shenji Battalion did not show up at the scene and did not comply with the edict, the situation was serious, and whether the disposition of the Shenji Battalion was in accordance with the original proposal or not, it was necessary to ask for the decree again.
