The appalling Lijiazhuang tragedy was reported by the Daxingzhuang Patrol Office on the same day.

When the local inspector arrived at Lijiazhuang, he was also stunned by the tragic situation in front of him, and he immediately mobilized more than a dozen surrounding villages to search for the traces of the bandits, and at the same time quickly whipped up his horse and sent people to the state city to report the news.

The tragedy spread in the evening of the same day, shaking the entire city of Pizhou inside and outside.

Although the bandits are extremely vicious, there are few who slaughter the people in this way. And according to the news that came out, the bandits exterminated humanity and killed Zhuang people in a heinous way. Especially the women and children, what happened to them was horrific.

When the news spread, the people were angry, usually they were just numb and helpless, but now they have expectations, and they all hope that Lord Yang of the General Administration of Lian can send troops to exterminate the bandits, and return the people of Pizhou City to a sunny day!

And in the Lian General Mansion Office, which everyone is concerned about, in the wide lobby, there was a loud noise, and Yang He took the case, "This is a provocation!" This is a demonstration! He said coldly, "This group of bandits must be exterminated, no matter where they run!" ”

At both ends of the lobby, Yang He's subordinates were there, all of them looking very serious.

Minister Yang said: "There is news from the local patrol office that the murderer is the bandit Mama Ma and his people, and there are Cai Chun, Zhang Dazi, Zhang Erzi, Zhang Youqing, Zhang Youyi and other bandits, with a total of nearly 1,000 people. After they completed the case, they fled north, and now they have entered the territory of Tancheng in Shandong. But the three caves of the cunning rabbit, maybe they will flee west again and escape into the Yimeng mountains! This is also the method of the bandits, who commit a crime, flee and flee to other borders. When the officers and soldiers returned, they came out to commit crimes again. ”

He said: "Not only that, but the patrol bureau has interrogated a lot of officials in the past two days, and there are also members of the joint defense team who have reported that the green skins in the city will be in chaos, setting fires everywhere, burning the warehouses, etc. ”

Hu Cheng said: "The intelligence office got the news that this riot was linked, and someone was planning behind it. They let the bandits make trouble in the local area, the green skin in the state city, and the remnants of the Qingshan thieves will also go south and attack the villages and towns in Pizhou. ”

He said with a serious expression: "I even got a secret report that the bandit Zhuang Jingyuan had infiltrated Beiguan, and there were dozens of people, carrying bows, arrows and firearms, I don't know what conspiracy they were planning, maybe they wanted to assassinate Yang Xianggong!" ”

Everyone was shocked, Yang He's life and safety were what they were most concerned about. Yang He didn't care about this kind of assassination, there were many people who wanted to kill him, and now he was still alive and well, he only asked: "Will the Qingshan remnants go south?" Are they already out of their nest? ”

Qian Sanniang said: "The cavalry team is watching, and they are still holding calves. However, according to what Director Hu said, it is difficult to say that he will leave in the next few days. Xianggong, if you want to exterminate the bandits, you can't wait. ”

The cavalry team had already struck out, and the remnants of the green mountains were hiding in the calf. That hugging the calf is Fei County, Yi County, Yizhou and other places at the junction of the dangerous place, a radius of hundreds of miles, more than 70 large and small peaks, the main peak hugging the calf is more "Lunan Optimus Prime, the world's first Gu" title, the mountains are deep and dense, and the dream is a bandit.

Historically, this is the hermitage of Ge Hong, a Taoist of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, because of the topography, bandits also love to gather here, the most famous is the "Lincheng carjacking case" during the Republic of China. The bandit Sun Meiyao kidnapped a total of 69 Chinese and foreign tourists and confined them in the cloud view of the calf-hugging nest, which shocked China and foreign countries.

For Yang He, what he feared most was that the bandits would flee and not find their lair. As long as they find the nest, they are not afraid of the mountains and forests where they are hiding.

Zhang Chugong said: "I have to do it, but it's a pity that until now, the details of the green-skinned bandits are unknown, and I only know their approximation." ”

Minister Yang said loudly: "Everyone who should know knows, during this time, through the members of the joint defense team and the officials who know the inside story, I have already known that the head of the green-skinned villains in the city is the lawsuit stick Hu Xingye, the gambling stick Xiao Zhaosheng, the funeral stick Jing Kecong, the matchmaker Liu Zhupo, and the beggar Lu applied for the job!" There are also capable figures in the fight against fraud, such as Wei Gonghan, Zheng Haoshan, and so on! ”

He said: "In terms of bandits, there are several big bandits in Pizhou, namely the Zhang family, the Zhang family, the Ma family, the Zhao family, etc. In particular, Zhao Gaotang, who is known as the great benevolent person of Pizhou, turned out to be the son of the bandit Mamama, and their family has been a bandit for generations! This time, maybe he planned it. ”

Minister Yang said viciously: "As long as these bandits are wiped out, there will be a lot of peace inside and outside Pizhou City!" ”

Zhang Songtao muttered: "In fact, there is so much information, as long as the large group of green-skinned bandits in Pizhou are eradicated, the remaining thieves will be easy to deal with." If they don't say anything about making trouble again, they may all run away! ”

Yang He nodded, according to his thoughts, he wanted to wipe out the bandits and Qingpi and get a better understanding of the local situation. For example, the tragedy in Lijiazhuang this time was because there were bandits in the village, and they were still very hidden. They opened the gate of the village and let the bandits in, which is the reason why the business is not deep.

However, the opponent was also cunning, so he couldn't arrange it calmly, and now the counterattack began.

He stood up, paced back and forth, and said coldly: "It's really time to do it, there is no perfect thing in the world, so first eradicate the big gangs and organized villains, and then slowly clean up the remaining gangsters." First big and then small, clean up step by step! ”

He made a decision on the spot, and made up his mind: "I am determined to eradicate the villains in Pizhou City first, solve it in one day, and then divide my troops to exterminate the remnants of Qingshan and bandits from all over the country." After exterminating the remnants of the thieves in Qingshan, they joined forces to carefully clean up the bandits from all over Pizhou, until they were all wiped out! ”

He quickly arranged the arrangement: "Without further ado, start in the early morning, Minister Yang, Luo Xianjue, Han Guan'er, Zhang Songtao, the four of you, as soon as the morning dawns, immediately eradicate Hu Xingye, Xiao Zhaosheng, Jing Kecong, Liu Zhupo, etc. in the city." Kill them and all the green-skinned sticks under your command. and the green skins and private teeth who were closed on all sides were also killed! There is a roster address here in the Patrol Bureau, you can let the joint defense team take it, and just follow the map! ”

Minister Yang and Luo Xianjue both agreed loudly, with excitement on their faces, Zhang Songtao also looked resolute, only Han Guan'er hesitated slightly.

He said: "Xianggong, are you going to be killed?" I heard that there are thousands of people, will there be too much bloodshed? Some of the private teeth and green skins are still showy. ”

Yang He looked at him and said, "These people are incorrigible, they are all people who don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin." People say that Yidi is afraid of power but not virtue, why is this not the case for the green-skinned villain? Only blood and corpses can make them remember! ”

He looked around at everyone: "Besides, how can it be unforgettable without experiencing a bloodfight?" Let people face up to the majesty of our Xin'an Army? ”

He instructed Minister Yang and the others not to hesitate, to kill when they should be killed, and to take this opportunity to clean up the green-skinned villains who are usually difficult to clean up inside and outside the city.

His decision was also made because the judiciary was stiff at this time, and it was too difficult to sentence a person to death.

The ordinary death penalty is to be beheaded and waited until the autumn of the following year, when the autumn trial of the three divisions and the court are confirmed, the evidence is sufficient, and the trial is correct, and the list of death row prisoners is handed over to the emperor for final signing, and the execution will be carried out during the frost fall to the winter solstice.

With the chaos of the Ming Dynasty at this time, all kinds of tricks are endless, maybe when these dead criminals will change their faces and come out again.

And what to say about the green-skinned ground stick, there was a "singles crime" at this time, which first appeared in the Ming Yingzong period, that is, at that time, gangsters were rampant, in groups of three or five, beating others, robbing property, and being called a single. At that time, the secretary of the Criminal Department suggested the establishment of "singleton crimes".

The punishment for the singles is generally flogging, or cane, and in severe cases, the border guards are sent to fill the army, and the people are outside the mouth.

Yang He thought that the punishment was too light, and it was also a scourge to the people from other places, so it was better to kill it.

At this time, the judiciary was stiff, and it was very flexible in dealing with rebellion and banditry, and often killed people everywhere. Yang He beheaded Qingpi, and also labeled them as "colluding with bandits and killing the villagers of Lijiazhuang", and then they resisted with weapons and killed them on the spot.

He also arranged for Qian Sanniang's cavalry team, which had been a sentry team, Zhang out of the Jingrui team, and cooperated with Cui Lu's artillery team, Chang Rusong grenadier team, to deal with Zhuang Jingyuan, Zhao Gaotang, and the thugs of the dock.

The wharf is seven or eight miles south of the city, so you need to act quickly.

Zhuang Jingyuan and the others are bandits, and they carry bows, arrows, and firearms, and they also need strong manpower and weapons to deal with.

Zhao Gaotang's house is in the north of the city, and according to the intelligence, the house has been in and out several times, and it is very firmly managed, like a fortress. The men, women and children inside were all bandits, armed with a large amount of weapons and equipment.

Yang He listened to the report of the intelligence office, and Zhao Gaotang once said: "Alas, no one can rely on this world, only the swords and guns in your hands can protect yourself." ”

Yang He used artillery to let them know that the swords and guns in their hands were unreliable!

Yang He instructed Zhao Gaotang and others, if they could, it was best to capture them alive, these people can't be killed cheaply, they need to be arrested and brought to justice, and they will be punished!

Of course, if the battle is fierce and you can't hold back, you will be killed on the spot, and the safety of the soldiers is the most important.

When sweeping away Zhao Gaotang and the others, it is also necessary to pay attention to collecting, and it is best to collect some crimes, which is to deal with Qi Shangxian.

In Yang He's calculations, it is best to collect his crimes and send them to Shi Kefa, the city of Huai'an, to impeach him and remove him. If it doesn't work, it can only be solved in your own way, Qi Shangxian and himself have become fire and water, and they can't leave a future trouble here.

Finally, there were bandits, Yang He said coldly: "It's better to capture the bandit leader Ma Ma and others alive, these people should be cut with a thousand knives!" The bandits under their command also need to be punished in front of thousands of people! I will prepare guillotines and tung oil plates for them, so that they will cry out in pain for two or three hours before dying in front of the tablets of the dead people, and they will deeply understand what retribution is! ”

He said: "When you fight the bandits, all the families of the bandits and bandits must be arrested, both men and women, and all the guilty will be put to death, and all the rest will be sent to hard labor." ”

Yang He decided to eradicate the bandit soil in Pizhou, and these bandit families who had been thieves for generations could not let go.

According to the Ming Law at this time, men and women under the age of 90 and over the age of 15 should be killed if they commit homicide. From fifteen to seven years old, except for those who rebel and commit murder, they are allowed to be redeemed and exiled. If the person is over 90 years old and under 7 years old, the penalty shall not be increased even if there is a capital crime.

Yang He decided that these bandit families, whether male or female, would be beheaded from the age of 15 to 89, and the rest would be sent to a hard labor camp.

Then, when the localities were cleared, together with the joint defense teams of various villages, they were divided into sections and repeatedly swept each village and every household, until the end of the year, maintaining a high-pressure situation until the bandits were killed.

All the bandits, the guilty, between the ages of fifteen and eighty-nine, both men and women, were put to death, and the rest were sent to the hard labor camps.

He arranged them one by one, and everyone obeyed the order.

Finally, Yang He waved his hand and said, "Let's attack!" ”

All the subordinates bowed down and said loudly: "The last general takes orders!" ”
