Ma Shiying fell to his death in the city, and after Huang Degong's body was divided by a knife, the rebels took the opportunity to loot in Fengyang City for two days and two nights, and then under the command of the deputy chief soldier Tian Xiong, they carried Ma Shiying's body, as well as Huang Degong's head, and other unloaded arms, legs opened the city gate, and went to Fang Yuan's military camp to surrender.

In the tent of the Chinese army, Tian Xiong, as well as two thousand households who had made meritorious contributions, knelt in front of Fang Yuan and stated to Fang Yuan how the two thieves, Ma Shiying and Huang Degong, were stubborn and stubbornly resisted. And the soldiers will kill the two, and they will come to abandon the darkness and turn to the light.

Fang Yuan silently stared at Ma Shiying's corpse that was smashed into a pile of mud, as well as Huang Degong's severed limbs that were cut into pieces by random knives, without the slightest joy of victory, but a gloom in his heart. The two of them are loyal ministers and good generals, and they shouldn't have such a tragic ending, so they said secretly, "Governor Ma, General Huang, what's the trouble?!" ”

Tian Xiong said with a smile at Fang Yuan, "Regent, I have controlled the overall situation in the city, and the regent can enter the city at any time to take over Fengyang." ”

He is asking Fang Yuan for credit, implying that the first credit for capturing Ma Shiying and Huang Degong should belong to him. Not to mention the succession of the deputy commander-in-chief, a guard post commander should always give it.

Fang Yuan looked at him straight for a while, and felt a deep disgust for this traitor seeking glory. But disgust is disgust, he has words first, whoever opens the door and surrenders, and sends the corpses of Ma Shiying and Huang Degong, can be sealed as the commander of the guard.

As a dignified regent, he can't go back on his word because of his personal likes and dislikes, so he said lightly, "Okay, General Tian will enter the city first to rectify the chaotic army, and after the situation in Fengyang is stabilized, I will fulfill my promise." ”

Fengyang City changed its owner, Tian Xiong and the two thousand households who forced Ma Shiying to death not only saved their lives, but even looted a large amount of silver. The two thousand households even robbed Ma Shiying of a flower-like daughter, and also divided all of Ma Shiying's five favorite concubines, which can be said to be a big profit.

The three of them smiled happily and went back to the city to clean up the chaotic soldiers in the city, preparing to welcome the arrival of Fengyang's new master.

The next day, Fang Yuan ordered Gan Hui to lead the army into the city to take over all the defenses of Fengyang, and by the way, clean up and clean up the battlefield. And Fang Zheng stayed in the middle military camp and waited for news from the city.

The sergeant under his command suddenly came to report that outside the Chinese military camp, a military man who claimed to be Ma Yishan, the commander of the guard of the Fengyang Governor's Mansion, was outside the barracks, holding the Fengyang Governor Yin Chang and kneeling, constantly kowtowing, just to meet Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan didn't know what the origin and purpose of this Ma Yishan was, how could he go to see him in person? ordered Hu Qi to send a brocade guard to find out.

Two quarters of an hour later, the Jinyi guard who went to inquire came to report, Ma Yishan just wanted to see Fang Yuan, and the others ignored it. No matter how you scold, dragging is not leaving, just kowtowing.

Seeing that this person was so persistent, Fang Yuan was also slightly moved, sighed lightly, and said to Hu Qi, "Old Hu, you take a look for me, what does he want to do?" ”

Hu Qi took the order, and after half an hour, he returned empty-handed, and Chong Fangyuan reported, "Regent, this person didn't say anything, just shouted to see the regent." This man has kowtowed three hundred heads, and his head is already bleeding. ”

Fang Yuan was silent for a while, since he insisted on meeting him, and he brought the seal of the governor of Fengyang with Ma Shiying, it would be okay to see him, so he ordered Jinyi Wei to bring Ma Yishan into the barracks.

In order to prevent Ma Yishan from being unfavorable to Fang Yuan, Jin Yiwei had already searched his whole body, tied him up, and sent him in together with the seal of the governor of Fengyang.

As soon as Ma Yishan saw Fang Yuan, he began to kowtow heavily, blood flowed all over the ground, and he kept shouting, "Regent, be the master of Governor Ma!" ”

Governor Ma naturally referred to Ma Shiying, Fang Yuan sat on the handsome chair, stared straight at Ma Yishan and asked, "Ma Shiying doesn't know the current affairs, he is stubborn and resistant, and now he is destroying himself, what do you want me to do?" ”

Ma Yishan kept kowtowing and said, "Governor Ma is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and committing suicide is to seek benevolence." The battle on the battlefield, whether life or death, is nothing to say. But what is the crime of the daughter of the Governor of Ma, who has been devastated by the rebels? Even if they are guilty, they should be handed over to the regent to be punished as an example, how can they be wantonly humiliated by the rebels?! ”

"There is also General Huang Bing, loyal to the country, and after dying on the battlefield, he was divided into corpses by the rebels. Even though Mr. Huang took his own way to death, but the vicious dog still did not eat the master, Tian Xiong, a brute, so abused and killed Mr. Huang, who had the grace to promote him, was already indignant to the gods, and he was not as good as a brute! The regent rules the world with benevolence and righteousness, and if he does not even pursue such heinous evil deeds, it will chill the hearts of loyal ministers and good generals! ”

"Moreover, those rebels who plundered the city for two days and two nights, and then poisoned the people before they came to surrender, were opportunistic and treacherous men who camped into camps. If the rebels are allowed to do evil, how is it different from bandits and bandits? It's just lost the hearts of the people in the world! ”

Fang Yuan was silent when he heard this, and Ma Yishan's words went up to his heart. When he saw Tian Xiong before, there were two thousand households who repaid the old master by abusing corpses, and he was already dissatisfied. The beast still knows the grace of feeding, and the three of them have such a tragic method to eat the old master, which is reasonable and reasonable. Now that Ma Yishan mentioned it, if this matter is not investigated, there is indeed something wrong.

Fang Yuan looked at Hu Qi beside him and asked, "Old Hu, what do you think?!" ”

Hu Qi respectfully bowed his hand and said, "Regent, although Ma Shiying and Huang Degong are enemies of our army, they are also loyal ministers. And since Tian Xiong and the three of them can torture and kill Huang Degong today and insult the daughters of the Ma family, they will also have the opportunity to attack the regent in the future. The appointment of such a person is indeed chilling to the loyal and righteous. ”

Fang Yuan nodded, and asked people to go to the city to summon Gan Hui, who was in peace, to ask him to verify the situation in the city and whether what Ma Yishan said was true.

Gan Hui truthfully reported that the rich families and people of Fengyang City had indeed been looted by the rebels, and the silver and women were looted. Even at this moment, in the streets and alleys of the city, you can still see the tragic situation of openly gang raping women. He was about to come to report to Fang Yuan and ask how to deal with these chaotic soldiers who were already like beasts, but he was summoned by Fang Yuan for questioning.

Fang Yuan's eyes flashed with murderous aura when he heard this, Tian Xiong, a bastard, dared to come and fool him into calming the people in the city, he was such a peaceful law!

Jean said in a deep voice, "Governor Gan, place all the young women in the city in the barracks and separate them from the rebels. Then set up a checkpoint every five miles outside the city, and make the rebels in the city line up one by one to go out of the city and surrender. At the first checkpoint, all the rebels with more than ten taels of silver on their bodies were arrested; At the second checkpoint, young women are arrested one by one to identify those who have committed adultery. ”

"Arrest the rebels first, and then punish the culprit Tian Xiong, as well as the two thousand households who insulted Ma Shiying's daughters."

Fang Yuan's move was to catch out the rebels who were doing evil in Fengyang City one by one, and then punish them with national law. As for Ma Shiying's daughters, he first punished the rebels who did evil, and then settled accounts with Tian Xiong and two thousand households.

Gan Hui asked hesitantly, "Regent, if you punish the rebels who surrendered this time, and recruit them to surrender in the future, I am afraid that the surrendered soldiers will have scruples, and they may resist desperately!" ”

Fang Yuan said in a cold voice, "Governor Gan, I am using the law of the country to clarify the canonical punishment, not to kill indiscriminately after defrauding!" I did this precisely to set things right for all the evil deeds of this troubled world. Those who commit adultery and criminality are by no means exempt from their crimes by surrendering. Even though Ma Shiying and Huang Degong don't know the current affairs, even if they are stubborn, this is not a reason for the rebels to abuse the female dependents in their mansions and the people in the city. If the evil deeds of these bandits are not punished, then it is really intolerable! ”

Gan Hui was solemnly instructed and retreated.

Ma Yishan listened to Fang Yuanyizheng's words, and was so moved that his eyes were full of tears, and he cried loudly, "The regent is really the lord of benevolence and righteousness who understands righteousness, and I thank the regent for his great kindness on behalf of Governor Ma, General Huang!" ”

Fang Yuan hurriedly went up to help him up, untied him from the five flowers, and sighed and said, "Commander Ma is also a true righteous man!" I like people who value love and righteousness the most, and if there is no other better place to go, Commander Ma will stay and serve me! ”

Ma Yishan kowtowed to Fang Yuan three more times, and cried and said, "Ma is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses!" ”
